1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. All right, let's bring in Dan Orlovsky, ESPN 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Football Analyst. You can see him on NFL Live Monday 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: through Friday at for Eastern with Laura Rutledge, Mina Kimes, 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark, Adam Schefter. First question, it's not 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: football related. What makes stuff Curry so great? Dan, I 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: don't know, I've I've talked about it a lot, how 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: great he's good at everything. Thank you for playing along. 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: Is there a player that you've run out of ways 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: to describe how great they are? Tom is up there? Yeah, 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Tom is certainly up there because 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: he's done it for so long at such a high, 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: high level. I thought Rivas was there years ago. Revis 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: was a guy that got up there. But I would 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: say Tom, you know, Aaron definitely, Aaron is still there, 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, and it's he's great because of the same 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: stuff he's been great for for a decade. But you 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: had Mahomes who felt like he was on the cusp 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: of that. But now all of a sudden, we kind of, 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, started chopping away at his pedal stole here 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: where where's Mahomes now in on the list of quarterbacks 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL this season. Yeah, I mean, if we're 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: just talking about this season, you know, Patrick's probably guys 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: that have played better than Patrick. Thom has played better, 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Lamar's played better, Dak Dak has played better, Matthew Stafford's 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: played better, Josh Allen's played better. So I mean, Patrick's 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: probably somewhere around the six or seven range as far 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: as just performance this year. I would still if I 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: had the you know, the two, three, four, five picking 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: next year's NFL draft, and Patrick was a guy that 31 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: I could pick, I'd trade all four of those picks 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: for the number one spot to go get him. I 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: think he's been a lot better the past two or 34 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: three weeks, stand a lot better. Mechanically, he's been so 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: much better. You could tell that's been an emphasis. You know. 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: I think that this past weekend, you know, was a 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: great performance. When it came to the end result production, 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: you could see he was very purposeful. You know, I 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: kind of said that this week day. He took about 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: fifty times against the Raiders, forty four times he got 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: the ball out in one hit or less. That's intent 42 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: to be completion driven. He will not have that experience 43 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys though. The Cowboys are not going to 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: give him completions like that this week. So he's been 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: better and he's still the most talented guy at the position. 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: We see golfers get in bad habits. How do quarterbacks 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: get into bad habits? Even the great ones? Yeah, you 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: have success within those bad habits. You know, the kind 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: of the way I phrased it was bad process, good results. 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: You know, he was having good results and this is 51 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: for a stretcher period of time. And it's a fine 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: lined in because you don't want to take that away 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: from him. That's his superpowers. He's able to play so 54 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: well and be so accurate and make the correct throat 55 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: to correct time when everything isn't kind of perfect or right. 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: But when you have a stretch of period a period 57 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: of time where you have a good result but a 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: bad process, that's how you get into bad habits. And 59 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, bad habits aren't something that happened overnight. They 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: happen over a long period of time. And that's why 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I say, like there's that saying in the NFL, winning 62 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: cures everything. That's a myth. Winning covers everything, and it's 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: really difficult to go in as a coach and go, hey, Patrick, 64 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: we really got to make sure that we're focused every 65 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: single day in our fundamentals. When he goes, hey, man, 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: I just threw for three eighty and four touchdowns. You know, 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: like what you know? So you've got to be so 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: obsessive and nitpicky in a way and focusing on the 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: things that can cat I remembered then Aaron Rodgers went 70 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: through this. Now, Aaron Rodgers went through stuff where because 71 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: these guys are so physically gifted, so physically gifted, and 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: they can do so much without having to be Drew 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Brees or without having to be Tom or without having 74 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: to be even a guy like right now, like Kirk Cousins. 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: Those guys have to be correct all the time, technically 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: and mechanically. Aaron went through this years ago when he 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: started his play started to dip and it was like, well, 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, some of the mechanics, when the talent starts 79 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: to just drop a little bit, you've got to kind 80 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: of counter that with those mechanics and technical stuff. And 81 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, it seems like Patrick, like I said, of 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, is started to show some 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: better stuff in regards to that better understanding of the 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs right now or the Cowboys right now. Oh, the Cowboys, 85 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys completely. I think the Cowboys the Broncos game 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: was that blip in the radar. I said this, I 87 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: don't know if there's a team in the NFC, and 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: I think there's a team in the AFC, maybe Buffalo. 89 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a team in the NFC offensively 90 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: that one has absolutely physically dominated people the way the 91 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense has in multiple games this year. I don't 92 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: think there's a team in the NFC that can line 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: up and go, we will beat you on offense however 94 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: you want us to. However you want us to both, 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: they can and they will. They got the people to 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: do it, and they've got the coaching to do it. 97 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: You want us to throw fifty times, will throw it fifty. 98 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: You want us to run at fifty, will run at fifty. 99 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a team in the NFC that 100 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: has done that. And then I don't think there's a 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: defense in the NFC that has suffocated offenses more than 102 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys defense has this year. And so I 103 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: think that's what we got a really good understanding of 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: who Dallas is. I know Kansas City has played better 105 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: in the past couple of weeks. I just doing my job. Defensively, 106 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: they have been better of the past two weeks. They 107 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: played Jordan Love and they played the Raiders without Henry Ruggs. 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: The Raiders are a wildly different offense without Henry Ruggs. 109 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: And I think offensively, like I said, the Raiders scheme wise, 110 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: defense is we are going to give you these completions. 111 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they had two hundred and sixty four yards 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: after the catch on offense Kansas City the other night. 113 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: So I have said it's nice to see, but I 114 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: got to see it against Dallas. Former NFL quarterback now 115 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: ESPN football analyst Dan Olonsky joining us. Just a bad 116 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: night for the Rams or they're a bigger picture here now. 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of a bigger picture. 118 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: Definitely a bad night. I think offensively, they were exposed 119 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: in one very specific area. That's the interior of their 120 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: offensive line. You know, I've talked to all season how 121 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: they've gone to this empty mindset, empty package, five guys 122 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: in protection, five guys out as pass catchers, and they've 123 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: had a ton of success with it, but then they've 124 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: played two really good defensive lines and Tennessee two weeks 125 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: ago and then San Francisco, and the interior of their 126 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: offensive line has gotten beat up. And I think Sean 127 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: McVeigh needs to go back to a little bit of 128 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: what got him here. Now. What I mean by that 129 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: has put the quarterback under center and use more play 130 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: action pass. A lot of times people myself included, we'll 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: say you got to do more of that because it's 132 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: to help the quarterback. Hey, let's help our quarterback. It's 133 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: it's stuff that quarterbacks see well, they don't have to 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: know the coverage. They can just go through progressions one, 135 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: two to three. You know, you can create chunks with it. 136 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I think they need to do it to protect what 137 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: right now is their greatest weakness on offense, and that's 138 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the right guard, the center, in the left guard, those 139 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: three guys in the middle. And when you do that 140 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: one defensive lineman don't know, it's going to be a pass. 141 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: You know, when you get into that empty set, defensive lineman, 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: don't you've made them play one dimensional. It's a pass boys. 143 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: You know, when we can go be pass rushers when 144 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: you put them under center and use some run play action, 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: they don't know it's a pass. They can work in 146 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: unison a lot more. In the play action game, you're 147 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: moving the launch point for the quarterbacks. Sometimes he's behind 148 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the center, sometimes behind the guard, sometimes behind the tackle. 149 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: Which tackle is it going to be? Sometimes he's outside 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: of the pocket. So those guys defensive line wise got 151 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: to move and so it helps the offensive line. So 152 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: I really think this is a a moment similar to 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Tampa last year. Hey, I remember pounding the tables like Tampa, 154 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: you got you gotta go more play action for tom 155 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: You've got to keep them protected. You gotta use motion more. 156 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: And well they did after they're buying it helped. I 157 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 1: think it's similar to that. And then I just touched 158 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: on the defense Dan, like they are philosophically, what's going 159 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: on in the NFL right now? A lot of teams 160 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: are playing those two safeties and the rams kind of 161 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: lead the charge in that. That's fine, that's great. You 162 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: gotta know how teams are going to attack you, though. 163 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: You gotta know. You gotta know that teams are gonna 164 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: be willing and able to run the football against you. 165 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do that. I think their corners 166 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: and their safeties gotta be way more aggressive when they 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: are in run support because San Francisco just ran the ball. 168 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: In the corners and safeties they're hanging back like what's up. 169 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: You gotta know that teams are gonna do that. So 170 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: I think those are two things they gotta fix. It 171 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: feels like most of these quarterbacks get one week. I 172 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: mentioned Jameis Winston week one, always a dark horse for 173 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: the MVP. Josh Allen had a week, Tom Brady's had one, 174 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson's had one, and now it's Mac 175 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: Jones week. Did the analyst what did they get wrong? 176 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Or did they get wrong with Mac Jones? Or did 177 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: he just end up with the right place, the right team, 178 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: the right coach. I think a lot of people had 179 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: it wrong, you know. So I call college football games, 180 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: and I remember doing the Alabama Arkansas game and sitting 181 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: down with the people around Alabama and asking them about 182 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. And I'll never forget Steve Sarkiesian, the head 183 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: coach of Texas who was their OC, talking to me 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: about how much better Mac was because he was the 185 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: scout team quarterback playing against the Alabama defense, and we 186 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: were just having the conversation. I played scout team quarterback 187 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: a lot as a backup. I mean, we're just having 188 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: that conversation, and it made me think, you get so 189 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: much better because you have to play so fast. When 190 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: you're playing scout team against the starters. You are forced 191 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: to play so fast, and you learn because there's no 192 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: consequence to bad plays in practice. When you're that guy, 193 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: you learn so much about what you can and cannot do, 194 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: how you use these things, your eyeballs, how you use 195 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: your brain. And I think that was the thing that 196 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: I fell in love with with Mac and the draft process. 197 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: And I was the person who was pounded the table 198 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: he should go three to San Francisco, and I had 199 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: firmly believed that Kyle Wan and Mac at three. I think, well, 200 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: we're in an era where, you know, physically, we have 201 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: fallen in love with the physical attributes of quarterbacks, as 202 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: we should, as we should Josh and Lamar and Patrick. 203 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the quarterback position 204 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: has always been can you think and can you throw? 205 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: And if you do those two things at an incredibly 206 00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: high level consistently, you are gonna be really, really, really good. 207 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: And I think we became so obsessed with well, he's 208 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: not fast that a lot of people lost sight of 209 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: he plays really fast. And I think that's the thing 210 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: you're seeing is he just plays so fast and he's 211 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: got redrafted Dan. Yeah, the first quarterback off the board, 212 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Okay, the second quarterback off the board. Yeah. 213 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: I think we're having a conversation. I really do. I 214 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: think that now I want to be fair Zach Wilson. 215 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: You know, we understand the situation that he's been in. 216 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: I think we're having a conversation because everything that you 217 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: need to be good at quarterback, Matt does, we haven't 218 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: seen that out of Zack yet. Now Mac has also 219 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: been supported to show that Zach has not. But I 220 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: think we're having a conversation. Zach can still do things 221 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: that Mac Jones just can't. He just he physically has 222 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: the ability to do things that Mac Jones just cannot. 223 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: Who's the conversation? Yea, who's home? My wife? Oh, she 224 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: just came in. Yeah. Does she love mac Jones as well? 225 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: She don't like mac Jones is not She's a Philly girl, man. 226 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: She she's gonna ride with Jalen Hurts until the Eagle 227 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: has decided to move on from Jalen Hurts. Are you 228 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: all in on Jalen Hurts? No, No, No, I'm not 229 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: all in. I'm not all in. I still think that, 230 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: and I'll still remain at him. And I think Philadelphia 231 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: made a mistake in regards to that um, in regards 232 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: to you know, the cards, I will say this. You know, 233 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with Jalen. I think, if you 234 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: know Jalen Hurts, can you become a consistent pocket passing quarterback? 235 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: And I think week after week he's starting to show 236 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: that a little bit he really has. I thought there 237 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: was a play in the Denver game this past week 238 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: that kind of is the imagery of hey, yes I can. 239 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: And he's starting to do it more and more. The 240 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: Browns are face eating. I don't know if they've they've 241 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: ever been in the limelight this year, Dan, I don't 242 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: know if they've ever, you know, had the light to fade. 243 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: I think that man the Brown expectations. Where where's the defense? 244 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: I can blame Baker, I can blame no running backs, 245 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: offensive line. The defense seems to be getting away with 246 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: something here. Yeah, their defense, mainly the back ends is 247 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: just poor. You know, they can't cover, and I know 248 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: they try. They try to play zone. They're not good 249 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: in zone. I think when their end zone excuse me, 250 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: when they're in zone, I think they're way too soft 251 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: in their zone coverage. Like you can play zone coverage 252 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: and still be intentional, still be physical, allowed teams to 253 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: feel your presence. They just give you completions when they 254 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: play man. I still believe that they don't allow their 255 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: guys to play hands on in man coverage right like 256 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: den Zone Ward is a man corner at his best 257 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: and they don't allow him to play this. I think 258 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: Greg Newsom is a man corner at his best. They 259 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: don't have You know, every football unit needs to have 260 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: something when when there s a crap hits the fan, 261 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: the doodle hits the fan, Like, you gotta have something 262 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: that you can turn to and say we're doing this 263 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: right now. They don't have that. And I think their 264 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: coverage because Dan they got the best pass rush unit 265 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Statistically, they're the best pass rush unit 266 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you have the best passis unit 267 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL, you should be good in coverage and 268 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that it's it's really let them down. I think their 269 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: communication still struggles when they play man. So I think 270 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: defensively has been the absolute weak, weakest part of their team. 271 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: I'll touch I'll say this about the offense um specifically 272 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: of New England. I was really disappointed in Kevin Stefanski. 273 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: Baker didn't play good. They go on that first drive 274 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: eleven plays, de Ernest Johnson runs for fifty four yards. 275 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: He's got seven carries for fifty four yards on that 276 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: first drive. They ran the ball three more times in 277 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: the first t like we can. Bill was great. The 278 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: plan defensively was great. When you get a coach to 279 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: go away from what their greatest attribute is, you've already 280 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: won the game. You've already won. And for them too. 281 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm playing tailback. The strength of 282 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: their offensive those five boys up front, I don't care 283 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: who the tailback is. You got to run who be 284 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: who you are at your absolute best against New England. 285 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: Do you get out of household chores by acting like 286 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: you're on zoom calls all day? I actually love household shores. 287 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm a weirdo man Like I'm a weirdo So one 288 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: of the things I love to do is wash dishes. 289 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't use the dishwasher often because I like to 290 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: dry dishes. I also like to make my kids dry 291 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: the dishes because I think it teaches them, like, hey, 292 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: you got it's not a chore, dude, this is something 293 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: you do want to eat. You gotta drive Washington and 294 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: dry your dish. Is your wife right there in the 295 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: kitchen listening to this, you can vouch from me, Yeah, 296 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: it's true. Okay, I'm not a huge fan of the 297 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: folding the laundry, but I will do it just to 298 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, we got We got six humans in our house, 299 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: so I can't I can't go, Hey, you know, fold 300 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: The kids will try to fold laundry at times. So, okay, 301 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: I gotta drop off lunch boxes at school. I gotta 302 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: watch tape. I gotta prepare for Cincinnati, SMU, I gotta 303 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: drop off lunchboxes at school. Is Cincinnati gonna make the 304 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: Final Four? I don't think so. Um As much as 305 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: my emotional heart wants them to. This is my second 306 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Cincinnati game. I'll say this is about Cincinnati. I think 307 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: their defense gives them the ability to beat anyone in America. 308 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: I think their defense is that good. UM. I don't 309 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: think over the past month they've buried teams, and that's 310 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: on them, you know. I think you've got to bury 311 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: teams if you're gonna be that team and want to 312 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: get in. UM. I think Michigan's really good. I called 313 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: Michigan Penn State last week. I think Michigan is really good. 314 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: I think Michigan State is a really good football team. 315 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: Who chance to beat Ohio State Michigan or Michigan State. 316 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: I think Michigan has a better chance to beat Ohouse State. 317 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: I really I like their coverage in Michigan. Aidan Hutchinson 318 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: and David Ojabo, their two rush ends, are phenomenal players. 319 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: I think they're you know, their consistency to line up 320 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: like Michigan will put six seven offensive linemen on the 321 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: field with a tight end or two and gets hey, 322 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: we are unapologetic right now. I think that's the difference 323 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: between the Michigan teams, like the team this year that 324 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: I've called two Michigan games and the teams of the past, 325 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: is they are playing in the style that Jim wants 326 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: them to play, and I think that's different. I think 327 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Michigan's got a chance to beat Ohouse State. I do 328 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: safe travel.

Darren Ravelle 337 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: is on this topic because only he can be Senior 338 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: Executive producer the Action Network midseason name changed to the 339 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: naming rights to an arena. How does that happen? I 340 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: guess Dan Staples is not selling enough paper. I mean, 341 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: I mean they did a lifetime deal after they did 342 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: a big deal in ninety nine when it opened. They 343 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: did this lifetime deal and you know what, I think 344 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: part of it and this hasn't come out yet. They 345 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: didn't They probably wanted out a little bit. And crypto 346 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: obviously these exchanges are going nuts and they have a 347 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: lot of money and they're trying to compete, and that's 348 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: what happens It's interesting to me because it's being reported 349 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: as a seven hundred million dollars deal. It's like thirty 350 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: five million dollars a year. This is the first time 351 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: I've ever heard that a company has paid more money 352 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: for something that was already named, right, because there's this 353 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: value of like, are you still going to call it 354 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: the Staples Center? You've been calling at the Staples Center 355 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: for twenty one years. I guess Crypto dot Com didn't 356 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: think that there was going to be people that we're 357 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: going to be calling at the Staple Center and think 358 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: there's real value. Well, maybe you call it the crypt right, 359 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: but then you're not calling it Crypto dot com. But 360 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: I don't understand the value of this, and that's why 361 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: I want to have you on. You can help me 362 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: understand this because I know when I did Sports Center, 363 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: I purposely did not mention a stadium that had naming rights. 364 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: I just said, let's go to Baltimore, let's go to Chicago, 365 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: wherever it might be. So how do you get your 366 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: money's worth out of this? And where is that money 367 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: going to? Is it just going to the Lakers pockets 368 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: and that's it, or is it improving it's actually it's 369 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: actually owned by Phil Anschutz of a Shitts Entertainment, So 370 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: it's ag that owns the Stable center. He is a 371 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: part owner of the Lakers. But you know what, I 372 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: think it's always up to the individual company to make 373 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: the value work, right, Like, so are they going to 374 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: have like ATMs where you put in your dollars and 375 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: then you get a receipt that you've turned it into bitcoin? 376 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: Are they going to convert points into what the ethereum 377 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: and bitcoin price is? How do they do it? It's 378 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: not good enough. I remember when when MetLife Stadium got 379 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: its name and I was just doing his interview live 380 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: on CNBC with the MetLife chief marketing officers, and how 381 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: are you going to make this work? And he said 382 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: something like, you know, just give us a chance. And 383 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't have a plan. You don't go 384 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: to like your CEO and say the reason we're spending 385 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: twenty million is this is how we do it. I yes, 386 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: at that point he did not know. Then you're definitely 387 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: wasting money. But I think it's I think it's hard. 388 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: Of course, everyone who invests in bitcoin is applauding this, 389 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: and everyone who just loves Crypto is applauding this as 390 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: just to go to show you that this is another 391 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: way that we're big. I thought Shack should have gotten 392 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: involved and call it, you know, the Shack and you 393 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: know people would have had fun with that. He's got 394 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: enough money, I get shake Shack with Shack and you know, 395 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: there you go that that could work. Although Shack is 396 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: now his big chicken franchise is probably going shake Shack. Okay, 397 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: all right, but that's why you bring me on. Dan. 398 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: I know all the deals, like if they're a conflict, 399 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: I know all the deals. Okay, Well, we have a 400 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: day in our lifetime where Yankee Stadium is brought to 401 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: you by Dodger Stadium is brought to you by that's 402 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: a tough one. I mean we've gotten to Geeha Field 403 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: at Mileha I mean, you know, or or or at Arrowhead. 404 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's you know. I think it would 405 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: be something at Yankee Stadium. Um, but I think the 406 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: Yankees would have to fall on hard times for that 407 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, but money trumps everything, it does. I mean, 408 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: if Staples is worth seven hundred million, what would Yankee 409 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: Stadium or Dodger Stadium be worth? Nine hundred million dollars. Uh, 410 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: all right, so Crypto dot Com the crypt well, you 411 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: go wrong here? Uh it could be like a sponge 412 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: Tech which sponsored was inside every uh Major League Baseball 413 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: and NBA arena, and then all of a sudden it 414 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: was like a scam. But I'm not saying crypto is 415 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: a scam. I would say that, uh, maybe the business 416 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: of crypto isn't as frothy as it is right now. 417 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: And uh you know that that's probably what could go wrong. 418 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: All right? If I say Lone Depot Park whose stadium 419 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: is then is that the uh lone Depot Park? I 420 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: actually don't know who is it? Marlins did not know that? 421 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep going, Globe Life Field, Texas. Yes, there's 422 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: American family, the Cincinnati Reds rush. Wow, this is this 423 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: is the if Darren is this if Darren raveled exactly exactly? 424 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: First Energy Stadium. Uh that is uh the uh uh 425 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Browns, lumin Field and no idea never 426 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: even heard of it, seawngs Okay State Farm Stadium. That 427 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals. Uh t I a A bank 428 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: Field Jacksonville Jaguars. All right, Okay, I did I did okay, 429 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: but listen if I'm not one hundred percent there, yeah, 430 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: you know you. I think the folks at Lumen are 431 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: withdrawing their money right now, Tied pods Field, that's fake, 432 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: thank you. Uh? Is this the anniversary of the Michael 433 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Jordan's shoe? This is so? This is the day in 434 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four where Jordan walked on the court with 435 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: the air Jordan's. He is previous. He previously wore air ships, 436 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: which is the shoe that was banned by the NBA, 437 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: but not really. Nike used that it was a black 438 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: shoe with with uh you know, the red swoosh that um, 439 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: that was that Nike then said was banned by the 440 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: NBA and that caused all the marketing. But yes, against 441 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: doctor j on this day in eighty four, Uh, he 442 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: did wear the shoe. And by the way, there is 443 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: no evidence in any article that anyone noticed it scoring 444 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: sixteen points in a loss. But I collect tickets and 445 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: think you guys have it. I have a ticket from 446 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: that game. Yeah. I think we're showing it now if 447 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: you're watching. Which is interesting because as people are collecting tickets, 448 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: there's twenty three graded tickets of Michael Jordan's debut on 449 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 1: October twenty nine, eighty four. There's only three of when 450 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: he showed up in the Air Jordans for the first time, 451 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: So I kind of like, I kind of like it. 452 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: Tickets tickets collecting tickets has certainly picked up in the 453 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: last six months to a year. What would those original 454 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: air Jordans go for? Well, the earliest known Air Jordans 455 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: just went where he wore them in a game I 456 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: think it was against maybe San Antonio is fourth game 457 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: that just sold for like one point one million bucks. 458 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: So the first ever Air Jordans, I think that's probably 459 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: three or four or five million bucks. What other tickets 460 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: are valuable? Now? People love the debuts, you know, Mickey 461 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: mantle debut Soul for more than one hundred thousand, the 462 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky debut Soul for one hundred thousand. I think 463 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, the scarcity on things are of these are 464 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: so uh there's the numbers are so tight, right because 465 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: like what did you do with a ticket? Like before 466 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: you put it on the bulletin board, you put it 467 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: on in a scrapbook, But like how did you keep 468 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: these things over time? Um? So we got this week, 469 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: we got Thiesman's leg tomorrow. I have that ticket, um, 470 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: and then I think on Saturday we have I didn't 471 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: give this to your boys, so hopefully you can see 472 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: this one. Dan, what is this? Nineteen eighty two cal? Uh? 473 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: What is it? It's it's a cal Stanford. Oh the 474 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: band is on the field. Well, band is on the field, 475 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: and there's only there's only four of these and I 476 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: have one of them. I mean, this is, by the 477 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: way that some of the good parts about tickets that 478 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: you get on sports cards McDonald that there's like some 479 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: of the old and obviously the more defunct. You know, 480 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 1: if you will get a Knicks ticket that has crazy 481 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: Eddie on it, uh, you know, or the defuncts. You know, 482 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: some of these old ads are kind of classic. What's 483 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: the white whale that you're looking for? Uh? I don't 484 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: I really don't want to say it, but no, but 485 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: umicket or uh so? So I did manage to get 486 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: the Randy Johnson pulverizes the bird game very rare, very 487 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: rare because it was a spring training game. There only 488 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: three thousand people there. I did manage to get that. 489 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: Um I'm looking for I mean, I'm looking for so 490 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: many I did get recently, I got the flutey Hail 491 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: Mary pass. Very very difficult, but there's I mean, that's 492 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: what's It's a search, right like with cards.

Yes, point, the Mike White era 534 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: is over. We said that the worst thing that could 535 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: happen to Mike White is he played another game after 536 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: throwing for four hundred yards. Right then all of a sudden, 537 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: it's like Mike White is who he thought he was. 538 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: Now Joe Flacco gets the start. Rodney Harrison loved playing 539 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: against quarterbacks like that. The Football Night in America analyst, 540 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: two time Super Bowl champ and hopefully on the doorstep 541 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: of being a Hall of Famer. One day Steelers taking 542 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: on the Chargers Sunday Night Football, Rodney joins us on 543 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: the program, Rod how are you this morning? Good morning, Dan, 544 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: How are you, sir? I'm good. I'm curious how Bill 545 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: Belichick would defend Mac Jones. Well, he's a rookie quarterback, 546 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: and just like most rookie quarterbacks. And you've seen the 547 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, You've seen Mike Zimmer in the Minnesota Vikings. 548 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: You've seen the Patriots do the same thing against Justin Herbert. 549 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: So they don't care. These defensive coordinators don't care. How 550 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: good you are, how good of a young player you are. 551 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna show you different looks, they're gonna try to 552 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: confuse you, they're gonna pressure you. And that's what you're 553 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: seeing from a lot of these defensive coordinators going against 554 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. Zach Wilson is one of them, and you know, 555 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: even Joe Burrow. You see these defensive coordinators trying to 556 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: create confusion and get these guys to throw interceptions, and 557 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: that's what they've been doing. Now you all in on 558 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: Mac Jones the tsolutely, Yeah, absolutely, I've been like I 559 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: thought that was the still of the draft. I mean, 560 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, when Kyle Shanahan had an opportunity I think 561 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: at the three spot or whatever to grab him, I 562 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: was hoping that he didn't get them because I'm like, 563 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: this dude fits perfectly. I mean, for him to be 564 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: able to go from Nick Saban system to Bill Belichick 565 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: system and basically just change jerseys and you know, two 566 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: very similar guys that do things a certain way. I 567 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: thought it was a blessing. But do you see and 568 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: I know that she's a dangerous comparison, But let me 569 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: compare to Brady first, starting with New England, mac Jones 570 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: first starting It is Mac ahead of schedule from where 571 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was. I think, I think I don't know 572 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: about all that. All I know is this, this is 573 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: a young good player. He's a guy that works hard. 574 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: He puts his team first. He cares about winning, he 575 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: cares about preparation, he cares about doing all the little things. 576 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 1: And I think you see that the Patriots are starting 577 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: to come together as a team. All the fundamentals, all 578 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: the little things that Coach Belichick teaches, these guys are 579 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: starting to trust and believe in, and you're starting to 580 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: see it. They're starting to win football games there. Okay, 581 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: let me just say this, this is a very good 582 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: young quarterback. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He's 583 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: very tough on himself, and he stays in the moment. 584 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: That's what they tell me. He's so focused and he 585 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: stays in the moment that you know, he's just he's 586 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: just a really good, smart football player and they love him. 587 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: Why do you think the Niners decided that they were 588 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: going to take LANs instead of mac Jones. Probably public pressure. 589 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,239 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody wants to get into this. I need 590 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: an athletic quarterback. I need an athletic quarterback. Yeah, he 591 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: could run around, you know, and do all these incredible 592 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: plays at times, but you need somebody that can sit 593 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: in the pocket, read the defenses, communicate to the offense, 594 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: get everybody in a right position. And sometimes that's not 595 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,959 Speaker 1: sexy enough. A lot of these, you know, coaches, they 596 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: fall pressure, you know, fall to the pressure of the 597 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: public man. And when you get a guy like Matt Jones, 598 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: who smart, who puts the team first, who does things right, 599 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't see how you can bypass a guy like that. 600 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: And ultimately, when you make a decision like that, it 601 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: can ultimately cost you your job. Look look what's going 602 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: on in Chicago with Matt Nagy. I mean, how many 603 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: times does he get to screw up a quarterback situation 604 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: and keep a job. Well, he might have gotten this 605 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: one right. With Justin Fields, well it's not like they're 606 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: getting it right because they still haven't done a good 607 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: job of putting offensive line in front of the guy. 608 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like it's crazy. Well 609 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: that's why I always go back to Andrew luck Rod. 610 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: And it's nice to have a one hundred million dollars quarterback, 611 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: but if you got, you know, twenty five cent offensive line, 612 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: then it's a poor investment. And I think Andrew Luck 613 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: fell out of love with football. He was getting beat 614 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: up and he was still a very good quarterback, but 615 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: he wasn't being protected. They finally got around to protecting him, 616 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: and then he's like, I'm gonna check out. I don't 617 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: want to play anymore. And then think and then think 618 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: of this too. I mean, just because you're a great 619 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: football player doesn't mean that you want to play twenty 620 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: years in the NFL. You know, guys have gold. Hey, 621 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: I want to play ten years in the league. I 622 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: want to make my money, save my money and move 623 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: on and do something else. It's nothing wrong with that. 624 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: And just because Andrew Luck was a household name, he's 625 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 1: a big time quarterback, he was a first pick overall, 626 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he wants to stay in the league forever, 627 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, especially getting your brains beat out with a 628 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: garbage offensive line. Is Ben Roethlisberger still a good quarterback? No, 629 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: he's smart. You know he can make he can make 630 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: some throlls, but you can't depend on it. You don't 631 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: know what he's gonna give you every single week. I 632 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: love Big Ben, and Ben should be in a Hall 633 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: of Fame. I played against band. He's an ultimate competitor, 634 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: but at this time the stage in his career, he's 635 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: a guy that's leading those young guys. He's more of 636 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: a mentor tour. But when I watch him play, he's 637 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: not very good. It's Brady better at anything now than 638 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: he was five years ago. I think he's just really 639 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: good at everything because, like you know, when you talk 640 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: to him, the rules have changed, which really helped the 641 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: offensive players. He has said, hey man, defensive players can't 642 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: do anything. The game's gotten easier. So the game has 643 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: gotten easier because you can't put your hands on the guys. 644 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: Anytime you throw it down the field, you bump a receiver, 645 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: the flags are coming out. So he just always tells, 646 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: hey man, I feel so bad for you guys because 647 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: you guys can't play defense anymore. How would you defend 648 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham? How would I defend him? I really don't 649 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: have to defend him if if this team's not throwing 650 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: him the ball. He's a talented young man, and I 651 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: talked to him when he was in Atlanta in the preseason. 652 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: Then the kid just wants to play football. He's not 653 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: into all this other crazy stuff that he was into before. 654 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: He just wants to go out there and play football. 655 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: And it's gonna take some time to implementing the offense. 656 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: But to me, like, how hard is it to throw 657 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: Ldale Beckham a screen? How hard is it throw him 658 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: a slap route? How hard is it to tell him 659 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: to run a deep dig at twelve yards and come inside? Like, 660 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: to me, all you have to do is give him 661 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: an opportunity, And these offensive coordinators are making it so 662 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: difficult with a guy with that level of talent. Just 663 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: throw him the damn ball. That's all you have to 664 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: do and give him a chance. But you look at 665 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: the Rams, they're going all in, they're trading people and 666 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: they don't understand like it comes down to chemistry. If 667 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: you have chemistry on your team, you're gonna have a 668 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: chance of winning. And also you look at Matthew Stafford. 669 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: What the heck is he doing? Is this the Matthew 670 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: Stafford that we saw in Detroit? Like what's going on 671 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: with him? He can't just drop back and throw the 672 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: ball up for grads? Like who does that? Well, normally, 673 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: we didn't focus on Matthew Stafford playing an entire game 674 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: because we didn't watch the lines. Now he's on display, 675 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: and now people are, you know, tuning in and watching 676 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: these throws. And now you're playing on a bigger stage. 677 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: The stakes are extremely high. Super Bowl or bust. And 678 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: I think that's what I want to watch the second 679 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: half of the season, and if they make it to 680 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: the postseason. There's certain guys. When they get to the postseason, 681 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: they become a different player. Whether that's good or bad. Yeah, absolutely, 682 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: And a lot of pressures on Sean McVeigh because he 683 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: trading got rid of Jared Golf, And remember these are 684 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: the same dudes that gave Jared Golf over one hundred 685 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: million bucks. And then then you give up the house 686 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: and you're getting rid of players. You don't have a 687 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 1: first round pick for the next three to four years. 688 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: They better win. And the way von Miller looked at 689 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: times the other week last week, he didn't look like, 690 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 1: you know, the von Miller that I'm used to seeing. 691 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: So if I'm the Rams, I got a lot of 692 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: question marks. And it starts with Sean McVeigh, Rodney Harrison 693 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: NBC Football Night in America, and of course won two 694 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowls with the Patriots, the defense being employed against 695 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City. What exactly is different this year than previous 696 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: years of how teams are playing Patrick Mahomes. Well before 697 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: I guess teams when they first didn't really know Patrick 698 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes that came out and tried to blitz them and 699 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: play man and man and all these different things that 700 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: most teams are just keeping two safeties deep and saying Patrick, 701 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: you know what, we know you want to throw the 702 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: ball down the field. We're gonna take away these these 703 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: big plays down the field and we're going to force 704 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: you to go up and down the field eight to 705 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: ten twelve play drives and see if you could stay 706 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: patient enough to do that. And before he said that 707 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: was something that he struggled with. But when I picked 708 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: them Kansas City against the Raiders, I just knew that 709 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: Andy Reid would make the necessary adjustments. This is an 710 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: offense that's been to the last two Super Bowls. Kansas 711 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: City is gonna be right there. I don't care how 712 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: they're looking. Talk to Chris Jones. That defense is going 713 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: to improve, but that offense is going to be right 714 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: there at the end of the season. Then where do 715 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: you stand with the taunting role with the NFL. I 716 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: don't like it. I get it. I get it. You know, 717 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: the rules the rule, and players have to respect the rule. 718 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I've always said, these are 719 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: the best two thousand players in the world, Like, come on, man, 720 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: Like these guys are getting paid millions of dollars. You know, 721 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 1: let them celebrate, let them have fun. You know, that's 722 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: what the game is about. Other players know because they've 723 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: been on the receiving end as well. Like, we like 724 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: to celebrate as players, and when somebody else is celebrating, 725 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: you gotta let them celebrate, give them their props and 726 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: keep it moving. But I just think the NFL needs 727 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: to loosen up. Man. This is you know, this is 728 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: the NFL. This is we should be having fun. Man. 729 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: It shouldn't have to worry about no taunting. I didn't 730 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: have to because I mean, like I hit you to 731 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: hit you and get back up and say hey, I'm 732 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: coming back to you, and then let me just say this. Um, 733 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,959 Speaker 1: let me just say this, like like if somebody needs 734 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: a shot lesson, they need to come to you. I mean, 735 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: your jump shot is money. I remember us a Sam House, 736 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: old producer. We went out there for Thanksgiving and Rodney 737 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: was talking a lot, a lot of junk, and I said, 738 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: rod like, I'll go out, but you know, I'm gonna 739 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna crush you like I got. I was like 740 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: I was, I was mad at him. And we went outside, 741 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: turned on the spotlight and I just I think I 742 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: took a shot and it's in the air, and I 743 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: just kept walking to the house. I was so mad 744 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: that you made me go outside. I loved it. Though 745 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm the Tom Brady of backyard basketball, man. Let me 746 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: tell you we had some great times. Man. I'm hey, 747 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm missed being in the studio with you. I had 748 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: so much fun with you and Tony. I mean that 749 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: that's what made that so much fun is and you 750 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 1: talk about this with chemistry as a player and Tony 751 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: as a coach. When you have trust in each other, 752 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: it was just a lot of fun. And you guys 753 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,439 Speaker 1: came in and had the right approach. You said, treat 754 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: us like rookies. We have to learn TV And a 755 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: lot of times people come in and they go, oh, 756 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: I just put on a microphone and a suit and 757 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: tie and talk, and uh, I just didn't want to 758 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: sugarcoat and I wanted to make sure you guys learned 759 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: how to do it, and then you'd be teaching other 760 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: guys who came in. So yeah, you guys listen, no doubt, bro, 761 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: And we definitely appreciate it, and we would not have lasted. 762 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this is year thirteen on that show, and 763 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: you know my role is a little different. I'm at 764 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: the stadium, but you know, to be able to do 765 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: that show with you as long as I've done it 766 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: and learned as much and absorb all of the knowledge 767 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: and wisdom that you've given me, I definitely appreciate it. 768 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: I know Coach feels the same way day. What is 769 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: it like though, to be on the field and want 770 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: to hit somebody, like do you get it? It's awesome, 771 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: just like your boy I knocked out? Remember it? M 772 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: McLean cheap shot? I was a cheap shot. Oh my god. 773 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 1: That was one of the great setups where we're like 774 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: Mclevan's gonna act like a quarterback and then Rodney's gonna 775 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: act like he's gonna hit you, and Rodney pop mcleven 776 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: fifteen yard flag if I've ever seen in my life. No, 777 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: that was not That was clean. And you know what 778 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: and it was probably worth a twenty thousand dollars five 779 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: and I was fine with how much were you find 780 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 1: in your career? A little over three hundred thousand after tacks? 781 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: What was the one that was absolutely worth it? Oh, 782 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice? And you know what, it was amazing that 783 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: they would find me a game checking back then. I 784 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: think the game check was one hundred and maybe twenty 785 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So it's some really good money, especially from 786 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: a kid coming from Market, Illinois. That's a lot of 787 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: money to give up. But Jerry Rice did that slant 788 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: and I got a chance to hit him. And I 789 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: tell you, Dan, I would have spent a half a 790 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: million bucks from that just to get a chance to 791 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: knock his freaking head off. As much as I love 792 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, it was awesome, But but why do you 793 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,919 Speaker 1: want to light up Jerry Rynes? Because he's the enemy. 794 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: He's the receiver all offensive players at the enemy. You 795 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: know that. And I love Jerry Rice. I mean I 796 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: got a chance as a young player to see him 797 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: practice and practice against the San Francisco forty nine ers 798 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: and his work ethic and discipline. But when it came 799 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: down to that game, I was not afraid that Jerry 800 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: Rice and I wanted him to know my name. Did 801 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,439 Speaker 1: you need to get fine? Should you have been fine 802 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: for the hit? No? I don't think so. I mean, 803 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: if anything, it should have been like a but you 804 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: know it then I had a reputation and you know, 805 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: people at the front office really you know, they had 806 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: it kind of had it out for me, and it 807 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: was all good. Like I said, you can't miss something 808 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: that you never had. But do you write a check 809 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: to the NFL back then or they take it just 810 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: out of your your like direct withdraw, Well, they just 811 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: you just don't collect a check. You look at your 812 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: bank account, see all those zeros and then you see 813 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: no zeros were you Were you married at the time? 814 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: Might No, I wasn't. I wasn't married. But you know 815 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: I had mom that I was taking care of and 816 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and I told her, I was like, mom, listen, 817 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: I said, I got Hey, I got some money. I 818 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: got a little money, and I would have a lot 819 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: more money if I didn't keep hitting guys. Hey, But 820 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: you know what, then you know you can't you can't 821 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: slow a guy like me down. You know, obviously I 822 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: have to play smarter at times. But you always want 823 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: a young guy that's hungry, that's physical to kind of 824 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: do their thing. But you couldn't play like that now. Yeah, 825 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: and I probably would have lasted twenty years too. I mean, 826 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: think about it. The guys are getting paid a heck 827 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: of a lot more money. You can't hit. Just watch 828 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: when they play. They don't even tackle anymore. They tackle 829 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: the football. They just tackled the football and everybody tries 830 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: to go for the football and then the convoy just 831 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 1: goes five fifteen yards right into the end Zoll. It's crazy. 832 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: It's different the way they played football. Yeah, and the 833 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: role of the safety, like it feels like the role 834 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: that although Jamal Adams does play with the physicality there. 835 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: But you know the days are Ronnie a lot those 836 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 1: are long gone, aren't they. Yeah, definitely, because like I 837 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: see referees or officials calling flags and it's not even 838 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: a legal hit, but it's because of the severity of 839 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: a hit, how hard someone hit. Now, you can hit 840 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: the guy the same way, but if you kind of 841 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: just hit him and lay him down, it won't be 842 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: a flag. But if you just absolutely run through them, 843 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: they're throwing flags from everywhere and It's like it has 844 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: to be an egregious hit. It can't be just because 845 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: it's a very physical hit. Gere thrown flags. Who was 846 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: that running back when he came through. It's like, this 847 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: is gonna hurt Brandon Jacobs Jamal Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens. 848 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: I was a young young player with Barry Sanders. He 849 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 1: joked me one time at the gold line, stuck his 850 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: head down, ran me over on Monday night football and 851 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: ran me over. And that was my introduction to the league. 852 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: And after that day, I said, I'm gonna do more squats. 853 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do I'm gonna get my legs strong because 854 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: he embarrassed me as a young player. Barry embarrassed a 855 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: lot of people. Yes he did, but he was fantastic. 856 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: Hey tell everybody I said a low Always great to 857 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: talk to you, Hope families, great, buddy, you too, buddy. 858 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: Good to see you.

Nick Wright joins us on 866 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: loan from First Things First, the Poputer co host on 867 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: Fox Sports One, Nick, what do you think is Steph 868 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Curry this season? Curry in all seriousness been sensational. I 869 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 1: mean he's been sensational. I've got a let me ask 870 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: you a question, Dan, yea, we're going into this year. 871 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,720 Speaker 1: If someone would ask you all time great, all time pyramid, 872 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: who's ahead Stepper KD? Who do you have hire? I 873 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: would take Steph? Oh, so you would have already had 874 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: step higher because I think most people, even though step 875 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: has one more ring and one more league MVP, I think, 876 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 1: particularly after the playoffs last year, would have said k 877 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: D's a tick above. If the Warriors win the title 878 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: this year, though, you have to like the Steph KD debate, 879 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: at least for the time being, stops being a debate. 880 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: Step would have double the MVPs and double the rings. 881 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,439 Speaker 1: All of that, and you start to reevaluate, like where 882 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: is Steph historically? I mean, I think he's right now 883 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: knocking on the door of the top fifteen all time. 884 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: If they win the title this year. He probably also 885 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: would win the League MVP this year. If they win 886 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: sixty plus games, he starts kicking that door in and 887 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: moving past guys like a team, past guys like Doctor J, 888 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: like obviously past Durant. I gets a really special thing 889 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: because I thought the Warriors were done winning titles, and 890 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: now with the doors back open for them. I asked 891 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,479 Speaker 1: Duwayne Wade about that yesterday and he said he would 892 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: take Steph because he changed the game. And I mean, 893 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: think about the most influential people who've ever played this game, 894 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: and steps on the short list of most influential players 895 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: in there, there's no doubt about that. As far as 896 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: influence he is, I want to say top five all time, 897 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: but that does you know, he's far more influential than 898 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, but Tim Duncan had the better career. But 899 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 1: if they win the title this year, Steph starts really 900 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,919 Speaker 1: approaching the hollowed, hollowed ground. He's top ten though Nick 901 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: if I said, at the end of their career, is 902 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: Katie or Steph more likely to go into the top ten? 903 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: So I would have, honestly, and I don't want to 904 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 1: be too reactionary. A month ago, I would have said 905 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: k D because I thought Steph as Steph was had 906 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 1: an MVP level season last year, Dan and the Warriors 907 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs, so I'm like, okay, so STEP's not 908 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna play in the finals again. But if they if 909 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: they make the finals this year, if they win the title, 910 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 1: then then to me it'd be Steph. If if this 911 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: is more about schedule and maybe when Clay comes back, 912 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: he's not the guy we think he's gonna be and 913 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 1: the Warriors are a second round exit KD because you 914 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: know he's bigger. I think he don't. I don't know 915 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 1: if you can say he scores more effortlessly, but it 916 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: does feel like he can do a little more. But again, 917 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: like those are I mean you're a basketball storian like me, 918 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: so that to me, take there's four guys that are 919 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: almost like, you know, the older older generation, Russell, Wilt, 920 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: Oscar and West. They've got to be included, but they 921 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: almost have to be included separately, you know, like a 922 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: veterans committee. And then people can argue about the order, 923 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: but I I don't think many people would argue about this. 924 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: Next nine lebron Kareem, Michael Magic, Duncan, Kobe Bird a 925 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 1: team shack. So now we're at nine plus the four, 926 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 1: there's thirteen. I would have had Doctor Jay and Moses 927 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: rounding out my top fifteen with Stephan kd ready to 928 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 1: knock one of them out. But how high can either 929 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 1: one of them climb? Can they pass Bird? Can they 930 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: you know? I think they both can pass Doctor j 931 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: and Moses. But so there's you know, at some point 932 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 1: there is there a ceiling. I don't know, like it's 933 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: it's a hard This is what people do when the 934 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: top seventy five list comes out. They're like, this guy's 935 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: a top twenty guy all time. It's like, no, he's not, 936 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: Like there's you gotta list the names and so it's 937 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: just a but I'm starting to reconsider how high step 938 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 1: can climb. I liked Golden State last year to go 939 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals, and I certainly like them this year. 940 00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: They have youth, They're gonna get Clay back, And it 941 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 1: just feels like the West is a little bit vulnerable 942 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: because I don't know what to expect out of the Lakers. 943 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: You know, can Phoenix do it again? And what do 944 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: they learn last year? Denver? Can you count on them 945 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: to be consistent enough to play at a high level. Utah, 946 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: are they going to be in there as well? UTAs out, 947 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: Utah never gets to be talked to her as a 948 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: playoff team again, they're out. And as I understand that, 949 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 1: all the and I'm an analytics guy, all the analytics 950 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,800 Speaker 1: folks have explained to me that Nicola Yokich is maybe 951 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 1: the greatest player in the history of the league, which 952 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: really fascinating because none of them believe that Nuggets are 953 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: gonna make the finals. The NBA's pretty simple. You have 954 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: the best player in the league, You're probably gonna win 955 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: the championship. Nobody thinks Nuggets can win the championship. So 956 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: miss me with this, Yokich is better than Jani's mess. 957 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 1: I don't care what the numbers say. I watched the games, 958 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,919 Speaker 1: but yes, the West is open. And here you said 959 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: they have youth. Here's anything the Warriors have going for him. 960 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,839 Speaker 1: So they're getting clayback. That'll be an infusion. No matter 961 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,879 Speaker 1: what form he's in, he'll help. Yeah. They also though 962 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: they're getting nothing right, Wiseman's not playing yet and Cominga 963 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 1: and Moody are so young, like eighteen and nineteen when 964 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:14,280 Speaker 1: you draft him. If they want to package Wiseman cominga Moody, 965 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: you get an All Star like Beal's not going to 966 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 1: be available now because the Warriors. I'm sorry the Wizards 967 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: are too good. But whatever disgruntled all star X that 968 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: you want but wouldn't go after Buddy Healed? I mean 969 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 1: I can't get Beal? What about Buddy Healed? Well, the 970 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,720 Speaker 1: question there is my I know everyone killed the Lakers 971 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: for not getting Buddy Healed, and I like Buddy a lot, 972 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 1: but he's also damn near thirty. We don't think of that. 973 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: He was old when he came out of college and 974 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: not damn near thirty these late twenties, and it's always 975 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: suffer for me, like a guy. People, So Ben Simmons 976 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,799 Speaker 1: like Ben Simmons can't play in the playoffs, but he's 977 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 1: been in the playoffs, like maybe Buddy can't either, Like 978 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: Buddy's the sixth man on the Kings. Like I like 979 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 1: Buddy a lot, but I I liked Ben Simmons to 980 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: the Warriors. You don't need more shooting once you get 981 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 1: draymonde Clay back. But don't I have to give up 982 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: Draymond to make Ben work with Golden state. I don't 983 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: know that's what everybody says. But when the Warriors won 984 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 1: seventy three games, Festus is Zeli and Maurice Spates were 985 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,399 Speaker 1: on the court with Draymond, Like I remember it because 986 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: Lebron was dot in threes over poor Festus's eye in 987 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: Game seven, Like yeah, Bestus, I mean Boge and the 988 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,840 Speaker 1: Bogan obviously was a good player, but Bogan and Draymond 989 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: played together. So like the idea that you couldn't have 990 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: Draymond on the court with another non shooter. Now, Draymond 991 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: backed inn was a better shooter than he is now, 992 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: so that's that's part of it. But whoever the person is. 993 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: My point is if the Warriors want, they can go 994 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: get another piece because they're not getting anything from those 995 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,359 Speaker 1: young guys and they're still awesome. We're talking to Nick 996 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 1: Wright first Thing's first co host on Fox Sports one. 997 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 1: How patient are you going to be with the Well, 998 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: here's the deal. So there's the Russ angle and then 999 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 1: there's a Lebron party. The Russ angle is first three 1000 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,800 Speaker 1: months in Houston, he was terrible and then he was 1001 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 1: excellent end of the season. Same exact thing happened with 1002 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,480 Speaker 1: Washington so I will be patient with that and Russ. 1003 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: Here's a fun thing to look at. The best center 1004 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: Russ has ever played with, the best big Russ has 1005 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: ever played with, young Steven Adams. He's never played with 1006 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 1: a quality offensive center or offensive big. So it's gonna 1007 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: take time for him and Anthony Davis. But the back 1008 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 1: of the matter for the Lakers is this. If Lebron's 1009 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,240 Speaker 1: not still able to be a top three, at a minimum, 1010 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 1: top three player in the league when the playoffs roll 1011 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: around for the entirety the players, the Lakers is screwed. 1012 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: I think he's still can be. I think he's got 1013 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: one more of those runs in it. If if he is, 1014 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: then again, who are we taking in the West over? 1015 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: A fully functional hand on the joystick? Lebron plus a 1016 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: D and I believe Lebron is a problems will make 1017 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: it work with Russ. But the first thing they gotta 1018 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,319 Speaker 1: do is just get rid of their centers. You can't 1019 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: play Ross and a center. You might actually play Russ 1020 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: at center. That's kind of what the Rockets didn't It 1021 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 1: worked like a D. You don't want to play center, fine, 1022 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: you can be the power forward. Russe will be the 1023 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,360 Speaker 1: center and then you can spread the floor and have 1024 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 1: more shooting there. I never understood a d not wanting 1025 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 1: to play center because it feels like you have a 1026 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 1: better chance of making the All NBA team as a center, 1027 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: because Rudy Gobert makes it every single year that you know, 1028 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,879 Speaker 1: these bonuses come with being first, second, third team. I'd 1029 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: want to be a center. Just list me as a 1030 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 1: center who cares. Yeah, I listen, ads awesome, he you know, 1031 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: he's what's the word delicate? Delicate I think is the 1032 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: white and nice way to put it. I just think 1033 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: he is a polite soft I didn't say soft Dan. 1034 00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that about a fellow Clutch client. I'd 1035 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: be the I just think he's not as big of 1036 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 1: a fan as the contact and the you know, and 1037 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: he is a guy who when he gets dinged, it 1038 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 1: does appear he's been shot, but luckily he recovers from 1039 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 1: that quickly. Brittle and so yeah, brittle? Did you call 1040 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: him Britton? I like delicate. I'm gonna stick with us, Hey, 1041 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: can I I got another question? Okay, were you shocked 1042 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 1: that there were MDP chants for someone not on the 1043 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,240 Speaker 1: nets at Barclay's last night? Like that doesn't happen. Well, 1044 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 1: that's not really a home advantage. That's not a home 1045 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: fan base. I mean, it's a recent fan base. I 1046 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 1: mean it's you know, that's why if they won the title, 1047 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 1: they'd get a nice little parade. If the Knicks win 1048 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 1: a first round series, you know, guys, people are out 1049 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 1: of their mind. Guys are out of the topless in 1050 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 1: the street. It's there. I mean, come on, that's absolutely right. 1051 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: Nobody cares um A couple of other things. I know 1052 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs are back, according to people. I didn't 1053 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: know they left, but they're back. And I know you're 1054 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: a big Kansas City Chiefs fan. So would you give 1055 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,919 Speaker 1: your logic of are the Chiefs on the short list 1056 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: of teams to beat still in the NFL five? Let 1057 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: me put it like this, I think they're the team 1058 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 1: to beat in the AFC. The five best teams might 1059 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,640 Speaker 1: all be in the NFC. They got to beat each other, 1060 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 1: Like right now, if you were able to draft your 1061 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: playoff opponents, like if that the one seam got to 1062 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: pickets opponents. Who wouldn't the Chiefs to be everyone's last pick? 1063 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: They aren't. They aren't they still the team in the 1064 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 1: AFC nobody wants to face. If Dan Henry was playing, 1065 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee would be that team that I would not want 1066 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 1: to play, sure, but he's not, like that's he's not yea, 1067 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 1: and the Bills have been that Jags loss looms large 1068 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 1: to me for the Bills, and the Bills to me 1069 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: are the other dangerous team when everything's rolling. But the 1070 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: AFC screwed up Man for the first five weeks, the 1071 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs had historically bad defense. For the next three weeks, 1072 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: Mahomes had the first slump of his career, and now 1073 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: all of Usden we sit there and it's like, oh, 1074 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: they have the second most wins in the conference. Like 1075 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: if you were ever going to create separation would have 1076 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 1: been this year, and the AFC didn't take advantage. Yeah, 1077 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: you're right about you don't want to face them when 1078 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: he gets into the postseason. You know, Buffalo is still 1079 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: not quite sure like the AFC right now, just not 1080 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: sure with anybody. Neither has done everything you want a 1081 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: great team to do. We just don't recognize them as 1082 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 1: being great. Yeah, it's yeah, because here's the thing, because 1083 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 1: and I know, the football's complicated, and it's all three 1084 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: phases and all this, and then at the end of 1085 00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: the day, before you bet your hard earned money on 1086 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: a team to win a Super Bowl, You're like, wait, 1087 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: Ryan Dan Hills their quarterback. Nah, I'm gonna have to ask. 1088 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 1: So like, no, he's the highest rated passer on third 1089 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 1: downs less He's like, yeah, I'm not gonna do that. Hey, uh, 1090 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: you're all in on crypto dot com instead of Staples, 1091 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna refer to I don't care, man, I listen. 1092 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to be Dan Patrick rich if 1093 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 1: I would have listened to all my poker player friends 1094 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 1: five years ago and bought bitcoin in the theorem, and 1095 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 1: instead I didn't. And so now I'm just hoping at 1096 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 1: all tanks because all my friends I gamble with are 1097 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 1: just stupid rich.

Yeah, that's that's great. I don't 1103 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: know anybody who calls it that. It feels like people 1104 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:09,360 Speaker 1: are still gonna call Staples. Staples. Yeah, I heard what 1105 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: you guys were saying about the Winston Cup before. Yeah, 1106 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 1: so I grew up. My whole childhood was the Winston Cup, 1107 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: and I had no idea it was about the cigarettes. 1108 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 1: I thought it was named after some famous NASCAR dude 1109 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 1: named Winston. Like when they changed it, I was so confused. 1110 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: I swear to god, I thought that I didn't even 1111 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: know and you thought that there was a guy named 1112 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Nextel like that. That's where I figured it out. I 1113 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, it's branding. Yeah. By the way, speaking 1114 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 1: of branding, is your guys show branding these days trying 1115 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 1: to just make anyone under thirty not understand what you're 1116 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 1: talking about, because I think right before I came on, 1117 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 1: you were like, hey, fun fact about Wilford Brimley and Cocoon.
