Speaker 1: brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards

Speaker 1: of the Dan Patrick Show. Whole question for the final

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: hour is going to be what seat O'Connor we're going.

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: To put up there Toddler's Boston. Avoiding the sweep of

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Miami last night means the Heat WI win in six seven,

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Celtics make history or absolutely nothing.

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: Celtics beat the Heat last night, staving off elimination. They're

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: the first team in NBA history trailing three to zero

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: in a series to win a game four on the

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: road by double digits. And it has to be frustrating

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: for Celtic fans, even for the coaching staff and the

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Celtics themselves, where you watch a game like that and

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you go Oh, so that's why people thought they could

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: win the championship this year. Now it goes back to Boston.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Can you send it back to Miami? And if so,

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: can you get it back to Boston for a game?

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Seven eight seven seven three DP show email ADDRESSDPA at

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. The movie

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Air is now streaming. I had an opportunity to see

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: his private screening of this with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Some of the cast there, Viola Davis, and they had

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: a Q and A there afterwards where the audience got

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: to ask the actors questions about how they came up

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: with the concept. Ben Affleck went down to meet with Miami.

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Our meet in Miami with Michael Jordan went to his

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: golf course and Ben doesn't play golf, but basically had

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: to get Michael's, you know, sign off on this, And Mike'

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: said I got one thing. You got to get my

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: old to Davis to play my mom. And Ben goes, Okay,

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know if she's available. Well, that's the

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: only way that I'll let you make this movie. But

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: it's under the pretense of being a sports movie, but

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: it's not a sports movie. There are movies that we

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: look at and we go, Hoosiers, what a great basketball movie. Well,

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: it's not about basketball. It's about relationships, whether it's a

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: father's son, whether it's the coach and his team, the

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: coach and his girlfriend. You know, that's what it's about.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Bull Durham is not a great baseball movie. It's a

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: great movie. It's about relationships. And the same thing with

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Air Air is about the relationship that Sonny Vacaro formed

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan's mom. Because this wasn't about Michael being

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: a great businessman. Mike would have gone to Adidas. He

51
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: loved Adidas. Nobody wore Nike ni he was a running shoe.

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: And Phil Knight started it, you know, as a tribute.

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: I think this Steve Prefontaine, or at least developed, you know,

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Steve Prefontaine, one of the great middle distance runners in

55
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: our history. But this wasn't a basketball shoe. They were

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: a basketball company. But Sonny Vaccaro was tied into the

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: basketball community, certainly in high school, started the Dapper Dan

58
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: Basketball Tournament. Then of course ingrained himself with college basketball

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: coaches and putting them under contract and paying them to

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: wear Nike. Changed he changed the sport. Michael changed the sport.

61
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: His mom changed the sport because she insisted that they

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: get a percentage of every shoe that was sold. And

63
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: look at how many millions and millions of dollars that

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: decision has helped make other athletes. And it was a brilliant,

65
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, business strategy. Mike wanted two hundred and fifty

66
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a red Mercedes, a two seater convertible,

67
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: and he got it. But he also got that percentage

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: there and then look at what it's led to over

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. But watching the movie, the relationships there,

70
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: how do you get things done? We got a time

71
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: frame here, Michael's coming to you know, Oregon, He's going

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: to meet with us, and really, the person who plays

73
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan is he's just there. He's not part of

74
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: this movie. This is his mom and this is Sonny Vicaro,

75
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: and that relationship to try to make this work for

76
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: them to buy in to what Nike was selling, and

77
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Nike was learning, you know, in real time, what they

78
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: were selling. It's like, we got to make a prototype.

79
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: What do we make? I don't know how about this? Okay,

80
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: Mike's coming to town. We got a show in something,

81
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: and then they were putting color in it, red and

82
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: black instead of everybody had to have white shoes back then.

83
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: And Mike, you know, they said here it is, here's

84
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the prototype. And then they said you're gonna get fined

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. The NBA said this if he wears

86
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: those shoes, and they're like, great, we want the publicity.

87
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: We'll pay five thousand dollars for that publicity. There. But

88
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a sports fan to love

89
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: this movie, be entertained by this movie, and you might

90
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: go in. It might be better that you go in,

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: and you're like, I did not know that. Yeah, we

92
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: of course being sports fans privy to the story. Sonny Vacaro,

93
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: I've known for forty years. You know, we're up on

94
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: the story itself. But what happens sometimes when you get

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: these stories, now this becomes the truth. Like this isn't

96
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: a documentary. You know, if you're watching the movie, JFK,

97
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: that's not exactly how things played out. And the same

98
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: with Air and Sonny vc Caro said, these things happened,

99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: they didn't happen in the order in which the movie

100
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: presented them, but it's ninety minutes music soundtracks. Good. Ben

101
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: is wonderful in there, Jason Bateman's great, Biola Davis is great.

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: It's a it's a good movie and entertaining.

103
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, I watched my wife the past couple of

104
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: nights and she, you know, she's a casual sports fan

105
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: who's not from Chicago.

106
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: I watched.

107
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, okay, this is nice. I've heard

108
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: this story for from you, from books, from magazines. She

109
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: found it, Like she was so Michael Jordan was not

110
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: a sure thing coming out of college. I like, well, yeah,

111
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: he wasn't. Not the number and overall pick Elajuan was

112
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: a sure thing, it felt like at the time, because

113
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: she was surprised that these companies weren't breaking their back

114
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: to get Michael Jordan's sign, like, well, that's not how

115
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: it worked back then.

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't get your own shoe. I know, Bird

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: and Magic had their Converse shoes, but they they had

118
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: their colors. You know that you had the Celtic black

119
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: and then you had the Laker purple and gold. So

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: they it wasn't their shoe the way it was Mike.

121
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was Nike. I mean that Larry and Magic

122
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: weren't Converse, but they did get their own shoe. They

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: had their commercial they shot in French Lick, Indiana, and

124
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: actually that's when they formed their friendship. But back then,

125
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I remember watching players were wearing Converse. When I first

126
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: started watching the NBA, they would wear Chuck Taylor load tops.

127
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: That was the shoe. And then Adidas came in and Adidas.

128
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: I remember Jerry West wore these low cut Adidas had

129
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: the gold stripes. Man, they were gorgeous. Loved him. Then

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Pete Marrivich, Pete Maravich was probably the first player modern

131
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: basketball who had his own shoe. He had the Prokeads

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and that was a big deal. Pete wore Adidas in

133
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: college at LSU, but he came into the pros and

134
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: pro Keeds was a small company and Pete was wearing

135
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Prokeads and I felt like that was the first. Although

136
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Walt Frasier that was a little after that. He had

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: his Clydes with Puma. I'm trying to think if there

138
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: was anybody else. Doctor j wore Converse All Stars, but

139
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Maravich that was with one company and they didn't make

140
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: basketball shoes. They weren't necessarily known for making basketball shoes,

141
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: but I remember Pete wearing those and that was a

142
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: big deal with the pro Kads. Yeah, Paul.

143
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: One thing I liked about the movie was the Michael

144
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: Jordan's agent back of the time was David Falk And

145
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: did he come up with the phrase air Jordan? Did

146
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: the designer for Nike coming Air Jordan? In the movie,

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: it's not pinned down, It's like both sides want to

148
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: take credit for It's almost like they wanted to have

149
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: that little at tension there.

150
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I'd been around David Falk. I never remembered him being

151
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: that volatile, but in the movie, man he is. He's

152
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: like Jeremy Pivens character on Entourage Ari and David Falk

153
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: always seemed like he was kind of mild mannered, and

154
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: you see him in the movie and you're like, whoah.

155
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's the funny thing, yeah about movies like this

156
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: where there's certain liberties taken. But now that everyone's seen

157
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: the movie, this is the way it happened. Yes, this

158
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: is fact, yes, and this is the way that it happened. Yeah,

159
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: all right, we'll get to some phone calls coming up.

160
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler returned to the Chargers. He requested a trade

161
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: that was two months ago.

162
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're a running back, uh, you're

163
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: a no man's land. All you have to do is

164
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: look at you know what when you get a franchise tag,

165
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: what your salary is, it's right there. With middle linebackers,

166
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to get paid. Although Saquon Barkley, you know,

167
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: I Bjeon Robinson going to the Falcons. Occasionally you'll get

168
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: that player that you go, Okay, he's worth taking. But

169
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, long gone are the days of Ladanian Tomlinson

170
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson or Barry Sanders. You got to have

171
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: a guy who's a hybrid, and it's Christian McCaffery. Saquon

172
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: Barkley got a catch the ball ninety catches. You got

173
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: to be a hybrid there. And that's what's going to

174
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: happen with b Jean Robinson. But Austin Eckler had an

175
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: unbelievable season last year, wanted to be traded. All he

176
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: got was one point seventy five million dollars worth of incentives.

177
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: That's it. Incentives. He's led the NFL in touchdowns two

178
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: straight years. But you know, Josh Jacobs unbelievable. He had

179
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards from scrimmage last season, but then trying

180
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: to get a long term contract, and both Berkley and

181
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: Jacobs are under twenty eight years of age. You can

182
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: be versatile, you can be reliable, but you're not bankable.

183
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: And that's what we're finding with that position that used

184
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: to be the position. Here we have Jim Brown passing

185
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: away and back. Then you ran the football, You controlled

186
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the clock. You passed maybe maybe fifteen times sixteen, eighteen twenty.

187
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: If you were desperate, maybe it was more than that.

188
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: If you didn't have a running game, it was a

189
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: little bit more than that. But you ran the ball.

190
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: And go back to Jim Brown, go back to the

191
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, Jim Taylor. You know with Lombardi's sweep,

192
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: this is what you did the Colts, Tom Maddy, and

193
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: that's what you did. You ran the football. But now

194
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: that running back, can you play wide receiver? Can you

195
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: split out here? You've got to be able to do

196
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: with variety things. Can you block? This is you have

197
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: to be the most versatile player. It feels like on

198
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: your roster as a running back, can you pick up

199
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: the blitz? Can you run the football. Can we put

200
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: you out you know, can we spread you out there?

201
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Can you be in the slot? Can you be a

202
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel type? Hey, we need you to now pick

203
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: up a tough yard here. You know, we ask an

204
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: awful lot, but they don't get paid an awful lot

205
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: compared to everybody else. Yeah, Paul Austin.

206
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: Eckler just turned twenty eight in his prime. You know,

207
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: he had sixteen hundred yards from scrimmage last year. He's

208
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: caught four. He's got four hundred catches in six years

209
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: at the running back position. But the problem is it's

210
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: a flawed financial position. The Chargers are doing the smart

211
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: thing they had. They held their ground. What's yeah, they

212
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 3: held there and they're doing the smart thing with the

213
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: running back position.

214
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: It's flawed.

215
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here, Ed in California, Hi, Ed,

216
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today?

217
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 6: Hey?

218
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 7: Dan, loved the show?

219
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Thank you man.

220
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 8: The question is not whether the Lakers will retire Lebron's jersey.

221
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 8: The question is will they retire both number six and

222
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 8: number twenty three a la Kobe or does he have

223
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 8: to win another championship in order to get the number

224
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 8: twenty three retired.

225
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: No, I can't give you both of them. Not with

226
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers Kobe Ward twenty four and eight. No, I

227
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: can't do that. Yes, Mark, he.

228
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: Wore twenty three when he won the title in the bubble.

229
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 5: Then he changes number to six. So will they retire

230
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 5: twenty three because that's what he wanted?

231
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but.

232
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 5: I can't give you. I'm blue, I'm with Blue. I

233
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 5: can't give you both, all right?

234
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think if he gets one, he'll get one.

235
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: You can't do two.

236
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: Retire number fourteen and a half. Split the difference, combine them,

237
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: cut him in half, right and.

238
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he'd love that. Dave in California, Hi, Dave,

239
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

240
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: Hey?

241
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: Dan, thanks for taking my call. Five nine two hundred.

242
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 6: A couple of things you were talking about? The old

243
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 6: school hoop shoes. I can't stop, but forget about the

244
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 6: uh the Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the pro models.

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 7: All the real.

246
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 6: Players used to wear those high top Adidas all La UCA,

247
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 6: the pro model Kareems.

248
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: Remember those, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. I loved UCLA

249
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: had the high top Adida superstars. They were gorgeous, best

250
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: best you ever made. Adida Superstar, the Shelte's. The kids

251
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: like to say, great you great you Jed in Arizona, Hi, Jed?

252
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: What's on your mind?

253
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 7: Hey Dan? Big time, big time fan, Listen the Lakers.

254
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 7: Lebron's not a Laker. As a longtime Laker fan, He's

255
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 7: just not.

256
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 9: Now.

257
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 7: I have a seven year old in my house who

258
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 7: thinks the world of him because he watched Faith jam

259
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 7: So I have to keep my mouth shut when I

260
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 7: watch him, and I kind of whisper under my breath, mutter,

261
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 7: you know, disparaging things when Lebron.

262
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, now, what is it about Lebron that you

263
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: don't want to embrace?

264
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 7: What is it about him? I would say the decision.

265
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 7: I just can't let it go, honestly. And my wife

266
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 7: even says, you know, my wife goes, you give him

267
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 7: too much of a hard time. He's a great player,

268
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 7: and I agree, I just don't. He doesn't have that

269
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 7: added dude, he's worse stop on the way on the

270
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 7: way for Lebron. It's not that he you know, it's

271
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 7: not like he He went on the press conference and said, listen, guys,

272
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 7: I just let the fans down. I'm sorry, you know

273
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 7: that'd be something Kobe would say.

274
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: If I gave you a do over, he doesn't come

275
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: to LA. You'd be fine with that.

276
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

277
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: So you miss out on the title.

278
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 7: What my riverside, My riverside buddy from the Clippers, that's

279
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 7: who I'd want. You know, I grew up in Riverside,

280
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 7: Reggie went to my high school. Cheryl did.

281
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not happening, Jed. You guys missed the

282
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: playoffs five consecutive years.

283
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, but now I'm gonna get Kyrie Kyrie Irving, and

284
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 7: I'm gonna get Chris Paul on the bench, and we're

285
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 7: gonna win a ring. Here's my bottom line. Can we

286
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 7: get Lebron a circle around his jersey when he gets

287
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 7: retired instead of a jersey, Let's give him a bubble

288
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 7: around his all right?

289
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: Okay?

290
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Jed, Jed not he'd rather not have a title.

291
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: That's really weird, man. I'd rather lose my guys.

292
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mark.

293
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: We just love being sorry, No Lebron, that's cool. We

294
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 5: just want to be sorry. Robert Sackray stay here.

295
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay a yeah, deep Pole there, Sackray.

296
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: Nick Young come back. Oh, they love being sorry. Don't

297
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: want Lebron what are you talking about.

298
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: Is D'Angelo Russell back next year?

299
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: He was here? Yeah, I didn't see him.

300
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I would consider trading Anthony Davis.

301
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: I would.

302
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, there's no secret here. Like Man

303
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the other everybody else doesn't know what we know. Yeah

304
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: they do, Yeah they do. All right, let me take

305
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: a break. We'll talk some football with the en Rapaport

306
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: NFL network up next. Playing golf today, I've been over

307
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: on the golf simulator with my pxgs. Now I don't

308
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: have the all new three one seven players irons. These

309
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: are for the really good ones, you know, the elite player.

310
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: That's not me. But these irons they're gorgeous. You'll love them.

311
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: And plus I like how it feels, how it sounds.

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you get a golf club and you put

313
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: it down, doesn't look great. And then when you hear

314
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 1: that sound when you go, man, hit that one right

315
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: on the club face and you get fitted. That's the

316
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: important part. They fit the clubs to you and your swing.

317
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: They don't try to change your swing.

318
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 10: You go in.

319
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: It's going to take you probably over two hours because

320
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: they take you from wedge all the way to driver.

321
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: They also you're putting as well. You know, they take

322
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: you all the way through the bag there. But PXG

323
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: dot com find the nearest PXG fitting location and then

324
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: get custom fitted. It'll change your game. It'll make it

325
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot more enjoyable. That's PXG dot com. Thanks

Speaker 1: Rappaport kind of enough to join us.

336
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 8: Ian.

337
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: I know the NFL wants to do away with the kickoff,

338
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: but is there any other option to sort of keep

339
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: it in the game.

340
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 11: I don't know that the NFL wants to do away

341
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 11: with the kickoff, and I think what they're doing is

342
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 11: to try to make it a little bit safer, but

343
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 11: to make sure that it stays in the game. I mean,

344
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 11: I would say yesterday for the first time I did

345
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 11: here at least the possibility from the Commissioner, Roger Goodell,

346
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 11: from Jeff Miller, essentially head of Health and Safety at

347
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 11: the NFL, the possibility of moving on without it.

348
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: But I think they would like to keep it.

349
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 4: You know, one thing that's.

350
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 11: Happened is because kickers have become very good, you've had

351
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 11: more returns than the last two years, and you've had

352
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 11: in quite a while. Therefore, you've seen more concussions, so

353
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 11: the percentages have increased in both. So I think they'd

354
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 11: like to do is find a sweet spot where maybe

355
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 11: there's a little bit fewer returns, fewer concussions, but the

356
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 11: play could stay because it can be really exciting at

357
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 11: its best.

358
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

359
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: And I guess if you said that you were going

360
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: to take away the on side kick and you just

361
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: opened a game or the potential for an onside kick,

362
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: then would we have kickoffs? Would the NFL ever consider

363
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: with starting a football game at the twenty five yard line?

364
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 11: I look, I mean, looking into the future, it's tough

365
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 11: to know because there's plenty of things that happen now

366
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 11: in the NFL where I'm like, well, I didn't see

367
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 11: didn't see this adjustment. Didn't see you know, the points explosion,

368
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 11: the sort of emphasis on defensive penalties. I mean, there's

369
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 11: a lot of things that the way the NFL has

370
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 11: shaped the game that didn't quite foresee. I would be

371
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 11: surprised if we live in a post kickoff world. And

372
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 11: I don't think it's just because of the on side's kick.

373
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: Those are rare.

374
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 11: I think it's just that's the way we started the

375
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 11: game for one hundred years, and it can be really exciting.

376
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 11: I just think they want it to be a little

377
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 11: bit safer. And the point from you know, these league

378
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 11: officials who spoke yesterday is when the data points to

379
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 11: more concussions, they have to take that part seriously to.

380
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: Figure it out.

381
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: What do you do with punts?

382
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 11: I don't believe that the spike in numbers has been

383
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 11: the same for punts as it's been for kickoffs. I

384
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 11: think punts have generally been okay. It's the fact that

385
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 11: you know, kickers have been basically getting better at forcing

386
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 11: you to return it. So how does the league adjust

387
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 11: from there?

388
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: The Thursday night Flex certainly got a lot of headlines.

389
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: Here is is this if all else fails, then then

390
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: we're going to flex a game. Or do you see

391
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: or how often do you see if flex happen?

392
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 11: No, I would say your first sort of assumption was right.

393
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 11: It was if all else fails, if we have no

394
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 11: other choice than flex a game. And I think you know,

395
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 11: the way it was explained yesterday was there's a high

396
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 11: bar for whatever it was two days ago. There's a

397
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 11: high bar for flexing a Sunday night game. There's a

398
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 11: higher bar for flexing a Monday night game, and there's

399
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 11: an even higher bar for flexing a Thursday night game.

400
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 11: So like, if you said to me right now, what

401
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 11: is your guess, do we flex a Thursday night game

402
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 11: this year? I would say my guess is probably not,

403
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 11: And then it would go on to the next year

404
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 11: and the one year sort of trial would still be

405
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 11: in place, and you know, we'd sort of moved from there.

406
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 11: But my guess looking at the schedule, looking at the teams,

407
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 11: not knowing any thing about quarterback injuries, because you know,

408
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 11: if it's a couple of third quarterbacks out there, you

409
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 11: probably do flex it. But my guess is they had

410
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 11: this whole thing, they did this rule, and they probably

411
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 11: don't break the glass and flex it.

412
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: The third quarterback option, when does that come into play?

413
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Is that just playoffs that will have the third quarterback option?

414
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that.

415
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 11: That's my guess is, you know, for the regular season,

416
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 11: I mean, teams do have emergency quarterbacks and it's sort

417
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 11: of fun, and you know, it's like when you have

418
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 11: a position player pitching in baseball. It's like it's kind

419
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 11: of fun, but you really don't want that to be

420
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 11: in a game that means anything, right, same sort of thing.

421
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 11: So you know, my guess is it's something that isn't

422
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 11: a thing and we don't hear about because it can't

423
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 11: be a promotion. It has to I mean, it can't

424
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 11: be an elevation. It has to be a true promotion,

425
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 11: has to be a signed contract, has to be a

426
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 11: guy in the fifty three man roster. My guess is

427
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 11: you don't get that until like, you know, week sixteen,

428
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 11: seventeen eighteen, and then the playoffs when a quarterback injury

429
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 11: and then another one can be like actually.

430
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Catastrophic Commander's sale still on schedule.

431
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, So this was kind of interesting the shape that

432
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 11: this took. So there was all this consternation debate and

433
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 11: discussion was Dan Sneyder gonna sell? And then he finds

434
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 11: a by and then they have an agreement in principle.

435
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 11: Then they have a signed agreement, exclusive agreement with Josh

436
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 11: Harris to buy the team and his partners to buy

437
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 11: the team, and it's basically be done. And then I

438
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 11: get to Minnesota and people are asking me like, is

439
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 11: the sale going to go through? You know, the league

440
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 11: has some issues, and I'm like, yeah, I mean they're

441
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 11: definitely working through some things. It's a much more sprawling

442
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 11: group than I think the league is used to. There's

443
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 11: maybe a little more debt than the league would like.

444
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 11: But no one has suggested to me at all ever

445
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 11: that it's not going through. I mean, this thing is

446
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 11: going to happen.

447
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 4: So it was nice.

448
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 11: So you get to all that, and then Roger goodoltziks

449
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 11: the podium yesterday midway through the day and says, yes,

450
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 11: he anticipates the sale going through. And to me, it

451
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 11: was kind of like, okay, Like went through this whole thing,

452
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 11: this big journey. The deal isn't maybe perfect. You can

453
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 11: still massage, you can still add more money, add more cash, essentially,

454
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 11: if that's what the league does. Want, but like Josh

455
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 11: Harris is expected to be the new owner of the Commanders,

456
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 11: and you know, I do believe that is absolutely how happening.

457
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: Is the NFL done with Daniel Snyder? Will be?

458
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 4: Will be?

459
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 11: I mean, if you're asking me, do I think he

460
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 11: would be able to get another team, I would very

461
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 11: confidently say probably not.

462
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, no, the investigation does that? They do? They still

463
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: press on with the investigation.

464
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, the married Joe wide investigation is ongoing.

465
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 11: All of the legal things. You know, I haven't really

466
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 11: sensed any alteration, Like it's not like, Okay, he's no

467
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 11: longer an owner here, so like pack your stuff up

468
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 11: and let's go. Like I didn't get that sense. I

469
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 11: think it's going to be done to completion, and like

470
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 11: there are some reasons for that one like if Dan

471
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 11: Snyder did, you know, have the workplace where it seems

472
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 11: if there were the financial if there were some financial improprieties,

473
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 11: you know, if if something was wrong, you'd like to

474
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 11: know was wrong. You like the people that were wrong

475
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 11: about it to be held responsible. Perhaps there could be

476
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 11: legal things that stem from this, civil or legal. You'd

477
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 11: certainly like to find that out. If that is true,

478
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 11: you just want to find out, like what was Dan

479
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 11: Snyder doing? And I do think those will go to

480
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 11: completion and then we'll sort of see, you know, what becomes.

481
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: Of it after that.

482
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: We were talking about this prior to the show. There

483
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: used to be quarterback competitions, like true competitions with teams.

484
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Those are long gone. Can you is there a quarterback

485
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: competition and with any team right now that is truly

486
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: a competition?

487
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: There is one Tampa.

488
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 11: I think that's a real competition, you know, I mean,

489
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 11: Baker Mayfield is in position. You have Kyle Trast there.

490
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 11: I think that's going to be a real quarterback battle.

491
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 11: I think the problem is one thing these teams have

492
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 11: learned as they've become smarter, is if you're having a

493
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 11: quarterback battle, that's not great. It's really not like I

494
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 11: cannot remember a quarterback battle where it ended and the

495
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 11: guy led the team to the playoffs or something, right like,

496
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 11: It's usually what you get is a quarterback battle from

497
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 11: a guy maybe drafted like in the third round, or

498
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 11: rookie in the third or like you know, it's a

499
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 11: quarterback battle and then the first rounder doesn't start, but

500
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 11: like you know, okay, Week four or five, he's probably

501
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 11: gonna start eventually. Like that's more what you get, because

502
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 11: if you're signing two guys to just come in and

503
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 11: compete and one of them is going to be your starter,

504
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 11: that means either you don't have any space at all

505
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 11: or money at all, or you just didn't do a

506
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 11: great job value it. I think for the Bucks this

507
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 11: is more of a sort of retooling, collect yourself, take

508
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 11: a deep breath, get some financial things under order a year.

509
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 11: So quarterback battle is okay for them, but I think

510
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 11: for most teams probably not.

511
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: Ian, good to talk to you again, Thanks for joining us.

512
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 11: Awesome, absolutely man, thanks for having me.

513
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, National insider for NFL Network NFL dot Com.

514
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: Just back from the spring meeting in Minneapolis. Yeah, I

515
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: go back to you'd have a quarterback controversy like the

516
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys Roger Staubach and Craig Morton, and then you had

517
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: interchangeable quarterbacks. Crazy to think about that, but you did.

518
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: You had two really high end quarterbacks competing with each other.

519
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: I think Danny White was he involved in a quarterback

520
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: controversy as well.

521
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: Gary Hogeboom and Danny White, Right, Hoga Boom and people

522
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: took sight.

523
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think other because I

524
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: thought that the one quarterback competition is Baker Mayfield and

525
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask. But I don't know if there's another one.

526
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: You know, the Niners don't want to have Rock Party

527
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance. They don't want that, Sam Darnold, they

528
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: don't want that. You you want Rock Purty to be

529
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback?

530
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

531
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 9: Mark?

532
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 5: What about Danny Warfrow against Patrick Ramsey?

533
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: Oh, never forget Wow? Who was the Auburn quarterback Campbell?

534
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 7: Oh?

535
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason Campble, Jason Campbell. Yeah, there was Joe thisman

536
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: and Jay Schrader. That was a quarterback controversy for a while.

537
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: Doug Williams had one the word that he was going

538
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: in and out. Remember they had Patrick Ramsey and guys

539
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: like that. They were always trying to try new guys.

540
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: The Washington team.

541
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Who else they drafted the Broncos when they had John

542
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: Elway and then they Tommy Maddox out of UCLA took him.

543
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: I think first round. That created a lot of friction.

544
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: I think Lay and Dan Reeves I don't know if

545
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: their relationship recovered from that.

546
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, I'm looking at some worst training camp battles

547
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 12: included Kyle Bolivers Anthony Wright two thousand and five with

548
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 12: the Ravens.

549
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a fun one. Brian Greasy, Rex Grossman two

550
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: thousand and seven.

551
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, and Rex led him

552
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. Anybody else in their time? John Freese, Oh,

553
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: John Freese, Yeah, yeah.

554
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 4: Chris Winkie versus Rodney Pete two thousand and two.

555
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Pauline, I would say Phil Phil Sims a

556
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: hosteler in New York City because a lot of people,

557
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: Phil Simms got injured, open the door for hosteler to

558
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: play a few times. He and hosteller got his own thing.

559
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: Didn't he go to the Raiders and get his own

560
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: team for Yeah, got some money.

561
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was controversy, because it was

562
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Sims got hurt. They were having an unbelievable year. Hostetler

563
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: came in and led them to the super Bowl and

564
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl against the Bills, and then

565
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Hostetler I think went to the Raiders after that. A

566
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls in here Jeff in Detroit, Hi, Jeff,

567
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today?

568
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 10: What up?

569
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 9: Though?

570
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 13: One time for Chat Road but I had Jeff say

571
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 13: he didn't want a championship because it's from Lebron. I

572
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 13: was thinking about that, but then I thought, you know,

573
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 13: from a Detroit Pistons fan to an elected fan, that

574
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 13: sounds like Electorates fan. I don't want that championship from Lebron.

575
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 13: It's a little bit Sully, you know. Listen, hey, quick

576
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 13: question Dan. With Mar's cookout, you guys were talking about

577
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 13: songs that you first heard. My mom to this day

578
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 13: cannot stand rick Bed's this goed up because I played

579
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 13: it out. I mean I played it left right, up

580
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 13: and down like never before. And an interesting fact that

581
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 13: you guys were talking about the movie Air with Michael

582
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 13: Jordan Spike Lee in d Wayne Wange from I think

583
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 13: it was a different world. Those two people had his

584
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 13: shoe on and probably put that shoe out there more

585
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 13: so than anything, to the point that Adidas ended up

586
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 13: having to go get Run DMC and get them a shoes.

587
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 13: Made them the first rat group to get a shoe

588
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 13: because they saw that they were being killed.

589
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: Have a good one down, all right, thank you, John. Yeah,

590
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: I remember Run DMC. They didn't tie their shoes, and

591
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: I remember people are going crazy over those shoes, and

592
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I go, those are the Adida Superstar and they go, no, no,

593
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: those are shelters. I go, no, those are Adida Superstars.

594
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: And then you know the toe looked like a shell.

595
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: And I'd never heard that before, but I remember didn't

596
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 1: wear laces and you had your shel toes. Huh uh

597
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,000

Speaker 13: One, I got a poll question for you.

600
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 9: If LeBlanc had a choice, would it be the Lakers,

601
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 9: the Cavaliers or the Heat?

602
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 7: Did he want his jersey retired to most?

603
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, Uh, it might be the Lakers. It might

Speaker 1: be just with those greats up there. I mean, how

630
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 9: I originally called, but as a young man, I lived

631
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 9: through the Bob Avellini, Mike Phipps, Vince Evans quarterbacker in Chicago,

632
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 9: and it was as painful as it sounds.

633
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 11: Yeah.

634
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 9: We used to say about Vince Evans that we should

635
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 9: send him to Cuba because he could overthrow cash ok,

636
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 9: because he could overthrow everybody. Wow, why I called was

637
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 9: Does anyone think it's funny that if and when the

638
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 9: Heat retire Lebron's jersey, he will stand there and watch

639
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 9: it raised up in the raptors next to Michael Jordan's jersey,

640
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 9: who didn't even play for the franchise.

641
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: Sure, I guess, I don't know. I think Lebron just

642
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: needs a hug. Now, that's all he got swept. He

643
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: needs a hug. He's telling us he's better than ninety

644
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: to ninety five percent of the players in the league.

645
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: You don't need to do that. Let us do that.

646
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: Give him a hug, Tell him you're still one of

647
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: the greatest players who's ever played the game. Come back

648
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: next year. Maybe a couple of changes here, Maybe you

649
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: don't have to take on as many minutes. Maybe somebody

650
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: else can actually pick up the workload a little bit

651
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: and maybe preserve.

652
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 5: You for the playoffs.

653
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: Yes, do you want to start running through the forty

654
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: or fifty players that are better than Lebron right now?

655
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: So if he's better than ninety five percent of the league. Right,

656
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: how many players are better than him? Well, he's certainly

657
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: not a top ten player. Ooh, that's what it is. Okay,

658
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: if he's better than ninety five percent of the league, right, okay,

659
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: So how many players are does that mean that are

660
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: better than him? Ninety five percent of what number is it?

661
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 3: I'll throw out a name of a person who I

662
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: think is in the top twe.

663
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: No, see if we can do the math here? Oh, okay,

664
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of how many players are active in

665
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: the NBA? You know what, Well, let's not do math

666
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: on radio. It's not good radio.

667
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: I have four hundred and fifty active players in the NBA.

668
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: So ninety five percent of that.

669
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,959
Speaker 3: Said, four fifty forty five? Okay, maybe less than forty

670
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: five players.

671
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: Let's say forty players. Lebron is better than only five player?

672
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 3: Five percent would be twenty two and a half.

673
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Players, Okay, Anthony Davis would be that half.

674
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: Right, twenty two and a half too.

675
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: So are there twenty two players better than Lebron James?

676
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: And the answer is now, like, if you're going to

677
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: come out and remind us that you're better than ninety

678
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: to ninety five percent. Why not just go ninety nine percent?

679
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you don't need to do it to

680
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: begin with. And do I think that he thinks there's

681
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: twenty two players better than him? No, I don't.

682
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 5: Yes, Mark, he's no Jamal Murray right now?

683
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: No, he's not.

684
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 5: No, just those past four games?

685
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: Now, is Jamal Murray a better player than Lebron? Are

686
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: just playing better?

687
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 5: Now? Oh, we'll come back with the answer.

688
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a break. I'm gonna take a break.

705
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: Now, if Lebron James said that he was better than

706
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of the NBA, so ninety eight percent

707
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: of four point fifty would be nine.

708
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 12: Would be a hundred, four hundred and forty one players,

709
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 12: So that would leave room for nine spots, so he

710
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 12: could still be a top ten player if he said

711
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 12: ninety eight percent.

712
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he is a top ten player.

713
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: Anybody not think Lebron's a top ten player now?

714
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 3: Ten?

715
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

716
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, top ten? Would you take ten players over Lebron James?

717
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: I'll throw some quick names, okay, Embiid, Luca, Damian Lillard,

718
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: Shay Gilligos, Alexander Stop me when I've taken someone out. Giannis,

719
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker.

720
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have Durant above him. I wouldn't have Shay

721
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: Gilgis all right, he's a top ten player, yeah, Marv.

722
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like Donovan Mitchell and Jason Tatum.

723
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I wouldn't put them there yet.

724
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 3: All right, so that's right around the ten spot.

725
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's a top ten player. Yeah, okay, six.

726
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I was just surprised that he said ninety to ninety

727
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: five percent. I don't think he thought what the numbers

728
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: actually are. But yes, he is. But I don't know

729
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: why he needed to tell us.

730
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 2: It seems like an odd statement to make in that

731
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: moment too, Like, I don't know, man, Look, I'm exhausted.

732
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: I got a lot to think about when it comes

733
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: to next year. By the way, I'm better than like

734
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the league.

735
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it. So why are you why

736
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: are you think about retiring?

737
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: Yes, he definitely retires next Thursday. No, he doesn't game

738
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 5: one of the finals.

739
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,320

750
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,800

00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: Cool helmets.

754
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,719

755
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,440
