1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: Dan x Dan Patrick Show. Adrian Watson, Arelscale Loan from 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: the mother Ship will join us in about fifteen minutes. 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Basketball's coming back, but we have to wait a little 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: less than two months. Hockey's coming back, Golf coming back, 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: NFL college football looks like it's full speed ahead. Sports 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: fans across the country are watching closely, not just games. 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: We're waiting for the games. Those are on pause for 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: the most part, but they're watching their teams and players 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: to see how they react to what's happening in the world, 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: certainly here in the United States, and there are no 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: easy answers on the right response. A hollow and scripted 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: statement means little. Total silence has been disappointing to fans 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: and the players of those teams. There's an argument that 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: professional teams aren't in the business of making statements on 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: social justice, and maybe that's true most of the time, 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: but this week it's different. This week, the nation all 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: eyes are on Minnesota. Decent people on both sides of 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: the aisle are appalled at the murder of George Floyd, 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: and when you're in the sports business, especially one with 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: a predominantly African American employee base, it's an exceptional time 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: one hopefully that spurs not just statements from both teams, 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: players and frankly all of us, but actions to make 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: our country a better place. And for me, it starts 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: with myself, how I view the world, how I participate, 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: how I try to be one of service to other people. 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: And you know, it may sound hollow. You can be 29 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: sincere and something can sound hollow. I hope it's not. 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: But it's a time to learn, and I think we're 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: all learning in real time. And look, I look at 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: James Dolan and the Knicks owner, and he had an 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: internal memo that went out that was leaked, and he 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: didn't really come out in a forceful way saying something 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: about you know what happened in Minnesota. Minneapolis, and I 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: just wondered about his own players when they find out 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: about what he has said in an internal memo. Basically, 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: that's not our job. Our job is to be good 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: people inside the organization. And James Dowan has had African 40 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: Americans as a GM or president or head coach, but 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: he had a statement that sounded hollow. There are other 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: teams that have done the same. The NFL had a 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: hollow statement about George Floyd and follow up with Colin 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Kaepernick hollow statements. What can you say? How can you 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: say it? What's enough to say? And it really depends. 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: It's almost like it's minute to minute, hour by hour, 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: day to day. Vic Fangio's the head coach of the 48 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and he did a video conference yesterday, And 49 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: it took a long time for Vic Fangio to finally 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: become a head coach in the NFL. He's a white 51 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: head coach. I don't know how many years he was 52 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: an assistant, but he's sixty one years of age and 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: he's only been a head coach in the NFL a 54 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: couple of years. I think this is second or third 55 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: year as a head coach. It took him a long 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: time to move up the ladder to become the head 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: coach of the Denver Broncos. First head coaching john and 58 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: he had this to say yesterday. I think our problems 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL along those lines are minimal. Where a 60 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: league of meritocracy, you earn what you get, you get 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: what you earn. I don't see racism at all in 62 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't see discrimination in the NFL. You know, 63 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: we live in a great atmosphere. Like I alluded to earlier, 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: We're lucky. We all lived together, joined as one for 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: one common goal, and we all intermingo and mix tremendously. 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, if society reflected an NFL team, we'd all 67 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: be great. Okay, you start to pick apart what his 68 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: statement is. Now, that's his experience. It's his experience, which 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's wrong. Now, he could lack social awareness 70 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: here because he does know what just happened a couple 71 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: of weeks ago where the NFL was trying to incentifize 72 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: teams to bring in minorities African American coaches and you 73 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: would get a better draft pick. There is racism in 74 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: his world, and how he sees it. He may not 75 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: see it, he hasn't experienced it, but it is there. 76 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't like to take apart everybody's statement here. Vic Fangio, 77 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know him, but if that's his interpretation of this, 78 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: and he did wait a long time to be a 79 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL, and I don't know if 80 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: maybe some of his players will say, you know what, coach, 81 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: you need to look at this or be aware of this. 82 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who lack self awareness, and 83 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio may just be guilty of lacking self awareness. 84 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: I don't know who he grew up with, I don't 85 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: know where he grew up, but he's saying, hey, you 86 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: know what, this is a meritocracy. Okay, he finally got 87 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: that opportunity and at age sixty one a head coach 88 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. There are other teams or owners that 89 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: maybe you could call out because they should have some 90 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: kind of awareness there. I also saw where Mike Florio, 91 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: certainly stirring it up. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk said, 92 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, come to think of it, now, maybe the 93 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: time that we change the Washington Redskins name. Redskins had 94 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: a tweet yesterday that felt hollow to people. Florio says, 95 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: as the NFL and its teams look for a way 96 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: to transform words into actions, as simple, easy and clear 97 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: path to change for professional football would come from an 98 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: immediate change to the name of the Washington franchise, that 99 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: team that is named for the nation's capital. At a 100 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: time when the nation's capital has become one of the 101 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: flashpoints for protests. Should acknowledge that the franchise's nickname is 102 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: a textbook racial slur, that it genuinely offends enough Native 103 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: Americans to make the name unacceptable, and that should that 104 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: it should change. If it wasn't already obvious, it should 105 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: be given the reaction to the franchise's failed effort to 106 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: embrace hashtag blackout Tuesday. I don't know if that's happening 107 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: anytime soon. I thought, and I had it on good authority, 108 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: if Washington that franchise was going to move back into 109 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: the city and Daniel Snyder was getting a new stadium, 110 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: part of that negotiation would be the NFL was going 111 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: to ask him change the nickname of the Washington Redskins. 112 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: Now never happened, but I was told that years ago. 113 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: Part of that process negotiations would be we're going to 114 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: be open to it, but understand we want you to 115 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: change the nickname of the Washington Redskins. I don't know 116 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: if Daniel Sneyder, I don't know even know where they 117 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: stand on moving back into the city. I haven't heard anything, 118 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: but that was part of the negotiations from what I heard. 119 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 120 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,559 Speaker 1: at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show 121 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Wog coming up. Darryl Morey, of course 122 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: had the comments about Hong Kong in the preseason, but 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't it seem like such a long time ago 124 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: where Daryl Morey, even though he's the Houston Rockets GM, 125 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: was speaking about what was going on in Hong Kong 126 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: and the owner Tilman for Tita, basically came out at 127 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: the time and said, hey, Daryl Morey does not speak 128 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: for us now. Tillman for Tita for his comments on 129 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: Daryl Morey yesterday saying the reaction to China was disappointing. 130 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: It's funny that he should say he was disappointed by 131 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: the reaction to Morey's statement because he was one of 132 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: those people who got upset of Morey's decision. But you know, 133 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: it's just it's open fire right now, and what you say, 134 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: how somebody takes it, leagues, commissioners, owners, players, media, it's 135 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: volado and it's going to continue that way for a 136 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: little while. There's also part of me that I'm glad 137 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: that there are no sporting events right now that allows 138 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: us to truly focus on this. Let's say they were 139 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: basketball games coming up tonight. Let's say they were ten 140 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: baseball games, say they were hockey playoff games. This would 141 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: get you know, suppressed. Now you would have players who 142 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: would probably do things in honor of George Floyd and 143 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: black lives lives matter during their games, prior to their games, 144 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: what they would wear. But for the most part, we 145 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: would be focused on the games themselves. No part of that. 146 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: Not by design. We are focusing more on these protests. McLevin. Uh, 147 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: what's your poll question? Who are likely to win the title? 148 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: The Bucks or the Bucks? Uh? It's actually now it's 149 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: like seventy eight percent the Milwaukee Bucks. Okay, and that's 150 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: that's the right answer. Why are you going to be 151 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: ready to dive into these matchups? And sort of you said, 152 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: but it is kind of fascinating, aren't you curious? Are 153 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: they Are we going to get a lot of upsets 154 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: and weird things in the NBA? Are they gonna be 155 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: ready to play? Or I have no idea. I have 156 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: no idea. Just found out Wog is not able to 157 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: join us. I did want to bring up something. Wog 158 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: is chasing a story. We want to be fair to 159 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: him because he's been very generous with his time, but 160 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: he's working on something with the season coming back in 161 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: July thirty first. Dave McManaman from ESPN had some interesting things. 162 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: We talked about this in the first hour, and these 163 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: are just some of the proposal scenarios being discussed right now. 164 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: It feels like everything's on the table. I don't know 165 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: what's on the table, but it feels like we're getting 166 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: information of what has been on the table. I get 167 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: the feeling that the commissioner knows exactly what he's doing, 168 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: and I've applauded him and being quiet about all of this. 169 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: There's still going to be some leaks here, but for 170 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: the most part, he went about three and a half 171 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: weeks where there was not a lot of information that 172 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: came out. They huddled up, they decided, you know, these 173 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: are the scenarios, and you know that subject to change. Here. 174 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: Higher seeded teams being awarded the first possession of the second, third, 175 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: and fourth quarters, so you'd have the jump all to 176 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: start the game. Okay, I'm fine with that. You know, 177 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to how do I give you a 178 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: home quart of vantage if you have fifteen more wins 179 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: than the team you're facing. What is your home court 180 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: advantage there, because normally you'd be playing those games at home. 181 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: An off court feature has playoff teams in order of seating, 182 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: receiving the first choice, unpicking which hotel they will stay in, 183 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: higher seeded teams being able to transport their actual hardwood 184 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: home court from their home arenas to Orlando to try 185 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: to preserve the feel of a home court advantage doesn't 186 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: seem cost efficient there, higher seeded teams receiving an extra 187 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: coaches challenge, and also the higher seeded team being able 188 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: to allow to designate one player to be able to 189 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: be whistled for seven fouls instead of six before fouling up. 190 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: These are just scenarios that are on the table there. 191 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: I like picking your opponent, and I would love to 192 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: have that where it's a made for TV event, because 193 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: that's what baseball is going to do. If baseball comes back, 194 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna be picking your opponent. I know it's sort 195 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: of a one year let's see what are some of 196 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: the ways that we can improvise here. I don't I 197 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: just worry that you get to the point where it's silly, 198 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: like the NFL has no reason to be toying with 199 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: anything right now, except for you want to do sky 200 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: judge or reviewing past interference. The onside kick, Okay, the 201 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen, I don't need it. Like I didn't say, Man, 202 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I'd love to have more offense in 203 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. I would love to have on sidekicks, the 204 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: opportunity for an onside kick, old school way and have 205 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the run up there. Because you can't tell me the 206 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: onside kick is more dangerous than the punt. The punt return. 207 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: We've done our best to eliminate the kickoff, but the 208 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: onside kick you still need to have that element of surprise. 209 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: But I don't need fourth and fifteen now. I'm very 210 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: benevolent now with everything that's going on, there's no games. 211 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't care what your rules are. Yeah, let's have it. Yeah, 212 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: go out there. Oh you want an extra foul, Yeah 213 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: you can have it. Give you the ball second third 214 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: for that, Yeah, you can have it. I'm just I'm 215 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: desperate to have some action here with baseball, football, basketball, 216 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: gall whatever it is. I'm a little more generous when 217 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: it comes to them. All right, Phone calls are welcome, 218 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: Jim and Montana joins us on the program. Good morning, Jim, 219 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: What do you have for me today? Good morning Dan. 220 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: Just a little comment on Joe Lockhart and the Kaepernick 221 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: situation in Minnesota. Yeah, I'm not going to argue whether 222 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: it was shallow or not. I personally think it was. 223 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: But just logically, you've got Sean Mannion as your backup quarterback, 224 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: but wouldn't make more sense to bring in Kaepernick and 225 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: let him play back up. It's just the timing of it, 226 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: Jim and Joe Lockhart used to be the vice president 227 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: of communications with the NFL, and he came out and 228 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: said Minnesota would be a great place for Colin Kaepernick. Yeah, 229 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick would be an upgrade over Sean Manion. But 230 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: you say that a month ago, or two months ago 231 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: or a year ago, not now. It just feels like we're, hey, 232 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: this is a make good here. We're just going to 233 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: trade off Kaepernick for what happened in Minneapolis, and that 234 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: doesn't solve anything. If you want Kaepernick in there, then 235 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't changed ability wise in the last two months, 236 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: three months, six months, Then you could have put him 237 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: in there as your backup quarterback, but you chose not to. 238 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: You can't go hey, and if I'm Colin Kaepernick, I'm 239 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: going no, I don't think so, you know. Unfortunately it's contrived. 240 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: You know, Joe could have a good heart and saying 241 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: we made a mistake here, we blackballed this guy. But 242 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: just to say, hey, would you go into Minnesota? Why 243 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: not any place in the NFL? Why does it have 244 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: to be just Minnesota? Then it feels like Colin Kaepernick 245 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: is just a pawn here and if your intentions are 246 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: let's do a make good and it would make the 247 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: most sense to having me in Minneapolis. Okay, but from 248 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: the optics don't look good at all here with that. 249 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: But we touched on it yesterday. Kaepernick's not playing again. 250 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: You're not You're not gonna be playing football again sixteen 251 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: after they aren't coming up on seventeen after they are, 252 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: and we'll get to your phone calls coming up. Also, 253 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball has a proposal of how they're going 254 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: to play, and we'll talk about that, the regionalizing of 255 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Baseball's schedule with the American League in the National League. Plus, 256 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: here's another thing not many people have talked about. When 257 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: you do come back, there's going to be a DH 258 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: in the National League and the American League. Therefore, when 259 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: you're playing and you're playing the Mets, are playing the Yankees, 260 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: everybody's going to have a DH there. You're not gonna 261 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: have to change if you go to somebody's park. Everybody's 262 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: going to be having the DH here. So we'll talk 263 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: a little bit about baseball with their plays coming up 264 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: and your phone calls eight seven seven three DP show. 265 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: We're back after this and The Dan Patrick Show.

We were 272 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: going to have Adrian Wojnarowski on, but he's working on 273 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: a story. This is probably the story he's working on, 274 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: because he just tweeted this two minutes ago. Each of 275 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: the twenty two NBA teams will play eight regular season 276 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: games in Orlando for seating purposes for the playoffs. Sources 277 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: tell ESPN. Each team gets to play eight regular season 278 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: games and then all twenty two teams are eligible, and 279 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: then they do that for seating purposes. Now, once they're 280 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: done with the eight regular season games with the seating purposes, 281 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: does that mean then you're going to have four teams, 282 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: eight teams, sixteen, six teams that are gonna not make 283 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: it into the playoffs? Is that what we're talking about? 284 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: So the seating is where you get into the top 285 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: sixteen teams. Am I correct in that point? Yeah, Adrian 286 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: hasn't elaborated, but basically they're ending the season with eight games. 287 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Everyone's where they are now, there's twenty two teams elible. 288 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: They're removing teams that are not eligible, like the Golden 289 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: State Warriors or the Cleveland Cavaliers. But the twenty two 290 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: teams that are, you know, the sixteen teams that already 291 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: are in the playoffs. The next eight closest will play 292 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: eight games. However, that when at the end of that, 293 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: that is your sixteen team playoff field. But all twenty 294 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: two teams play each play eight games, correct according to 295 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: Adrian wa Tronaski. Okay, And then after that we're going 296 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: to have the seating of the top sixteen teams and 297 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: then the other six teams go home. It appears that way. Okay, 298 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: that could change. I saw with Baseball's proposal. There's a 299 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: new proposal this According to the Boston Globe, the proposal 300 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: includes teams only playing opponents from their division and from 301 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: the Inner League. Counterpart, American League East teams will only 302 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: play other American League East and National League East teams 303 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: coming up in twenty twenty. Teams will play in their 304 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: home ballparks, but there won't be fans. Some teams will 305 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: be forced to travel further than others. Obviously North South 306 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: travel from Florida to Boston and Toronto. The Texas teams 307 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: to Seattle is a bit of a hike as well. 308 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: Leagues would reportedly main intact for the purposes of the standings. 309 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: That means no ten team divisions by region. It'll still 310 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: be the six divisions American League, National League. That leaves 311 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: the proposed seven playoff teams per league for the postseason, 312 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: three divisional winners per league, four wildcard teams. They're going 313 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: to go from ten to fourteen playoff teams. Still no 314 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: word on how balanced the schedule is going to be 315 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: and if it's going to be heavy on intra division play, 316 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: and part of the reason that The Boston Globe says 317 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: they don't know about this yet. Is there hasn't been 318 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: an agreement on number of games to be played this season. 319 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: All right, there's at least movement positive dialogue. You still 320 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: got to get to the elephant in the room, and 321 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: that is how much do you pay them and how 322 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: many games are you playing? Those seem to be the 323 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: real big issues here. And if you're Major League Baseball, 324 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: you have to be looking around going we are going 325 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: to get buried. NHL coming back, NBA coming back, golf 326 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: coming back. I just saw where USC is planning on 327 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: students coming back and football players coming back in a 328 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: football season coming up this fall and USC students. USC 329 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: said students will return for the fall. The Other Times 330 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: wrote about the impact on football. School's athletic director said 331 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: that I'm convinced of that, believing that student athletes would 332 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: be safer on campus than anywhere else. So I think 333 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: we can monitor that and do a great job of 334 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: keeping them safe. I don't know how much it costs 335 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: to monitor them, but we have to figure out how 336 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: often we want to test for COVID nineteen. More importantly, 337 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: we want to monitor groups of student athletes where they eat, 338 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: where they work out, where they lift weights, where they live, 339 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: dorm rooms, number of student athletes per restroom, all those 340 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: different pieces of the protocols. It's extensive. Now are they 341 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: talking about just student athletes on campus? Because this says 342 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: students returning in the fall, but then the athletic director 343 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: talks about the student athlete here mclovin students. I think 344 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm almost sure. USC announced they're bringing back students, Okay, 345 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: the regular students. That was the big news story. This 346 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: was a substory of that. And is this because USC 347 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: is a private institution, whereas the public institutions in California 348 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: might not be able to do this. Doug in California 349 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: joins us, what do you have for me today? Hey, 350 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: good morning, Dan, How you doing good? Sir? I am 351 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: a huge fan of European soccer, so when the Buddhestlagua 352 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: came back three weeks ago, I was obviously thrilled. Here's 353 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: here's the point that I want to make. You know, 354 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: the owners, you know, the buddhest Lagua teams in the 355 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: German Soccer Federation and all the players worked behind the 356 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: scenes to work out all the protocols, you know, the 357 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: safety issues, the finances, the scheduling everything. You've got the 358 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Premier League in Great England coming back in a couple 359 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: of weeks, Loliga and Spain is coming back, Saria and 360 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: Italy is coming back. How is it that all of 361 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: them are able to work all of this out and 362 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: successfully behind the scenes. Yet the US professional sports leagues 363 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: really don't have a clue. Well, I think they've had 364 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of a head start in Europe because 365 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: they've been dealing with the pandemic and they were hit 366 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: earlier than us. Trying to get the number of players 367 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: be able to come back and that the testing that's 368 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: going to be in place there. But it feels like 369 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: they've had a better plan. But they've had a plan 370 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: that when you're working with everybody involved, you know you're 371 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: not going to have fans in the stands. You're just 372 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: going to make sure that you have your players that 373 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: are going to be safe here. And of course there's 374 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: no celebration. There's you know, even if you're on the bench, 375 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: you're not sitting next to one another. It feels like 376 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: that they understand what the safeguards need to be and 377 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: they've implemented those and so far, so good. And the 378 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: Premier League is coming back. As you mentioned, the Bundeshliga 379 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, has been you know back for a little 380 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: while here a couple of weeks, yeah, pulling. The Premier 381 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: League just announced a couple of minutes ago that they 382 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: did a test this week of basically twelve hundred players, staffers, coaches, etc. 383 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: And there was one positive test. Last week they did 384 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: a similar twelve hundred tests and there was zero positive tests. 385 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: So they're doing this at basically every three or four days. 386 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: I saw where the NFL's Chief Medical Officer, David Sills, 387 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: he's optimistic we're gonna have football in the fall. He 388 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: was on Adam Schefter's podcast and he talked about football 389 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: and physical distancing really don't go together, and the NFL 390 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: was taking things a step further, but they're taking it 391 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: a step by step plan here. And you're worried about 392 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: conditioning drills. When players can return, there's going to be testing. 393 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: And I told you the information I had from somebody 394 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: in the medical community working with the NFL. Sixty thousand 395 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: tests or what are going to be needed. The chief 396 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: Medical Officer says, our job is to identify them quickly 397 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: as we can and make sure we get those people 398 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: appropriately tested, isolated from the rest of the team. You know, 399 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: this optimism has been there, but then it sort of 400 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: wanes a little bit when something else comes up. But 401 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: I saw where de Morris Smith, he heads up the 402 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: NFL Players Association, he's optimistic about this season starting on time. 403 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: But he said it's about a six or a seven 404 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten, and sound that optimistic. 405 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: If it's a six or seven on a scale one 406 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: to ten. It feels like the chief medical officer who 407 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: works for the NFL sounds a lot more optimistic here. 408 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: It's all subject to change, I think. You know, we 409 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: we've noticed that people have made mistakes with this NBA 410 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: go back to May first, back at the facility. Then 411 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: it was May eighth, back at the facility. Here we are, 412 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: we're going to basketball maybe at the end of July, 413 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: going into mid October, hockey coming back as well, golf 414 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: coming back. And that's why when you make these declarations 415 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: where there's going to be football in the fall, we 416 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: hope there is. But the medical community is still learning 417 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: how this is how it advances. You know, the curve 418 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: has now been greatly reduced here the number of cases 419 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: all of these things. Then you have Major League Baseball 420 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: worried about do we have a boomerang? Does it come 421 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: back in the fall, and if it does, if it 422 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: wipes out the postseason, how much money will be lost then? 423 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: So there's so much involved with it, and I think 424 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: the approach has always been cautiously optimistic, is the best 425 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: way to go about this Baseball. They've gone about it 426 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: in a wrong way because now it just feels like 427 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: it's our side, your side instead of how do we 428 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: work together. You haven't heard any kind of discord with 429 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: the NHL Players Association and ownership there. It feels like 430 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: they are working in unison, NBA working in unison here, 431 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: College football, NFL. You got to work in unison here 432 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: to make this work. And I think that these leagues 433 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: are just trying to figure this out. But they're figuring 434 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: it out right in front of us, and it's not 435 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: a good look for Major League Baseball because it seems 436 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: very very petting. Caleb in North Carolina joins us on 437 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: the program. Hi, Caleb the on the day. So, Yeah, 438 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your take on with obviously, 439 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: as y'all were talking about m MLBPA and the players. 440 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: It just seems like a stid disconnect there with the 441 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: number of games and the parade salaries. Owners are not 442 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: going to go for that one hundred and fourteen game season. 443 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: So do you think we might have a season this year? 444 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: And how does this affect fan interest going forward? Well, 445 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't know about fan interest, but Major League Baseball 446 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: has to understand like it just feels like this is 447 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: a tenuous relationship, like you are we going to go 448 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: steady again, or we're just gonna flirt with one another. 449 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna date other people, We're gonna see other sports leagues. 450 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: That's the feeling I get here that Major League Baseball 451 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: has to understand this. You could have taken advantage of this. 452 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: You're letting your public. It's a private dispute that's been 453 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: made public here and it's not a good look for 454 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: either side. Imagine if baseball was ready to play in 455 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: the next two weeks, just look at the you know, 456 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: the popularity that you could have and people would rediscover 457 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: the game. You're gonna come back when you're gonna have 458 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: all these other sports leagues in full bloom, and your 459 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: games are gonna probably be meaningless because you're gonna have 460 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: just people saying NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, golf's majors will 461 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: be coming back, college football, the NFL, and then you're 462 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: gonna have Major League Baseball, a sport that's really lost 463 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: its identity as one of the big three. It is, 464 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: but it's you know, there's one in two and then 465 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: it feels like there's Major League Baseball just from how 466 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: much information, how many headlines, how many stories, how many 467 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: stars that we talk about that we want to see. 468 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: And baseball could have owned this. It could have been 469 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: a real boom for them. And now who knows when 470 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball comes back, because I at least have 471 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: a time frame for these other leagues. I don't with 472 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. I have much more. From Adrian Rojanowski 473 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: on the NBA, I'm gonna read it to you. You You guys, 474 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: let me know if you understand. Each of the twenty 475 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: two teams will play eight regular season games Orlando for 476 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: seeding purposes, sources tell ESPN. The play in format requires 477 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: a double elimination format for the eighth seed a single 478 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: elimination for the ninth seed, per sources. Sources joining the 479 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: sixteen team playoffs in Orlando, New Orleans, Portland, Phoenix, Sacramento, 480 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: San Antonio in the West, Washington, the East. If the 481 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: ninth seed is more than four games behind the eighth seed, 482 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: that number eight makes the playoffs. Fewer than four games, 483 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: it's a play in tournament. I'm trying to stay with 484 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: this one, and what you lost me I'm reading verbatim. Yeah, 485 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: I don't know why they need to make it so complicated. 486 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: It's just if i have all twenty two teams each 487 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: playing eight games, and then that decides the standing. So 488 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: I've given the Blazers, I've given Zion and the Pelicans 489 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: a chance to make the playoffs, and then when you 490 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs, then that's it. Then you go home. 491 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Those six team goes home. You have sixteen teams, and 492 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: then you have a playoffs series. Here. Play in tournament 493 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA's twenty two team format would be only 494 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: for the eighth seed. If the ninth seed is four 495 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: games or more back, eighth seed earns the spot. If 496 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: ninth seed is four games or fewer behind, then there's 497 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: a play in single elimination for the ninth seed double in. Yes, 498 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm confused for these last eight regular season games or 499 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: whatever we want to call them. How do they decide 500 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: who's playing who so that it's fair. I'm years on 501 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: how that working. How do they decide who's playing someone 502 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: first or second as opposed to that's seven with the 503 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: eighth game when you're obviously you're probably improving by the 504 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: time you get to your last couple of games. As 505 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: far as what your opponent is, aren't I have no 506 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: idea because you don't have the entire field in there. 507 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: And if you'd said, let's just go back to the 508 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: regular season schedule with the NBA, you may have a 509 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: game against the Knicks and the Knicks aren't involved in this, 510 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: or Golden State's not involved in this. I don't know 511 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: how they're picking the Aiken. Oh, don't make it more complicated. 512 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: You just give Portland a chance, or you want to 513 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: give the Pelicans a chance, and then that's it, and 514 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: you play your eight games, and then if you're not 515 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: there in the top sixteen, then you don't get to play. Yeah. See, 516 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: this feels a lot like there are people in a 517 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: room and somebody was like, all right, how about this, 518 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: We'll do X, Y Z, and so no, no, no, no, 519 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: how about this, and it was like sort of like, 520 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: how about this, how about this? And then it all 521 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: just got so much more complicated. Though, Okay, now this 522 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: is what it is. It's the ninth seeds, fourth row. 523 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: Over everybody agree? What? Well? Yeah? Pol I also realized 524 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: this means, barring him coming back next year, the Vince 525 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: Carter's career is over. Atlanta will not be making the postseason. 526 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: And unless he plays another year, Vince Carter has done 527 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: playing basketball. Yeah yeah, Verry sad, Yeah, Fritzie. I'm also confused. 528 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: Have they officially decided if they're getting rid of the 529 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: conference affiliations or they're trying to keep it. Has that 530 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: even been established that it's going to be in the 531 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: top seeds in the East and the top seeds in 532 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: the West are just the best sixteen records altogether with 533 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: the Lakers and Clippers could play in the finals. I 534 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: think it's one through sixteen. It's just there's no East 535 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Western Conference designation. It's just top sixteen teams, 536 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: at least I assume it is. I mean, who knows. 537 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: Don't make it more complicated than what it is. Eight games. Okay, 538 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: let's see how you fare in those eight games, did 539 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: you move up the Pelicans slip into the eighth spot? 540 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: All right? If they did, great, If they didn't, Now 541 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: can Washington fall out of their playoff spot? I know 542 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about those on the outside trying to get in. 543 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Who is most vulnerable here? Because you know, the Pelicans 544 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: I think are three and a half games out. So 545 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: if you have eight games, you can make up three 546 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: and a half games. But could somebody be relegated here? 547 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: Could this be the NBA's version of relegation if all 548 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden somebody went on a hot streak and 549 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: won six or eight games and then they knock somebody out. 550 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: It feels like you know that that's a distinct possibility. 551 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: Mark and Orlando joints us Hey, Mark, Hey Dan, thanks 552 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: for taking my call. I tell you, I just don't 553 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: see this whole NBA saying working out down here. I've 554 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: lived down here for years. I know that property. I 555 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: don't care if these guys are housed a the you know, 556 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: the ritziest hotel down there that's guard dated. These guys 557 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: are going to be cruising all over town. There's going 558 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: to be limousine City. There are so many former athletes 559 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: that have homes down here, NBA, NHL, you name it. 560 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: They're all over the place. So I'm telling you it's 561 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. They're going to be leaving those 562 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: properties and going out and partying and one guy gets 563 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: sick and then this whole thing blows up. Yeah. I 564 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: don't know what safety precautions are in place there, Mark, 565 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: thank you. I don't know if you have like security 566 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: on the perimeter that you can't get in but you 567 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: can't get out. Yeah. I think they would or should 568 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: have any type of curfew. You can't control what goes out, 569 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: I guess in the hotel rooms. But maybe after a 570 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: certain hours they asking them to do the smart thing 571 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: and just not be out all hours a night, just 572 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: to get through the season as safely as possible. I 573 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: have no idea. I may want them out of the 574 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: hotel rooms, if you know what I mean. Yes, seton, 575 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going all conspiracy theory here on you. Okay, 576 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: But right now, the eighth in the West, the Memphis Grizzlies. 577 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: They are currently thirty two and thirty three. At twenty 578 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: eight and thirty six, you're New Orleans Pelicans, exactly four 579 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: games behind the eighth seed. Memphis Grizzlies. M sure, it'd 580 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: be a shame if you came in ninth zion. No, 581 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: but then they make it. It's the top sixteen, isn't it. 582 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: So I got is the East set? Is anybody vulnerable 583 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: in the East to drop out of here the top 584 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: eight or set? Okay, they're gonna make it no matter 585 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 1: what I think. So yeah, okay, yeah, I got a plan, 586 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: and I think it's better. Let's take a break. It's 587 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: not that good, just that quick. Put the Lakers in 588 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: the West and let the East play to play the Lakers, 589 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: and then we could all move ony, give people what 590 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: they want. Put the Lakers in from the West, and 591 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: then let the East play for the So we'd have 592 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: fifteen teams trying to h and just dub the Lakers 593 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: in and just make it a marketing So the Lakers 594 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: wait for fifteen teams to play one another. That's right, 595 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: They're not even the number one seed. LA just jumped 596 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: on this idea. Everyone listening, of course they love Yeah, 597 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: I'm all for. Then don't the Bucks have the best 598 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: record in mcconvin Yeah, And by the way, the Brooklyn 599 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: Nets beat the Lakers in the last game before the pandemic, 600 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: and they were facing each other. Now in la who's 601 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: playing for the nets? Yeah nobody? You know?

Final results of the 612 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: poll question This Day in Sports History coming up. Dana 613 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: White will join us tomorrow. Former Kentucky Great NBA star 614 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: Rex Chapman had an interesting column about what's going on 615 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: in our country. We'll talk to Rex Chapman and hopefully 616 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: Adrian will Genarowski will be able to join us as well. McLevin, 617 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: if you were going to recap the NBA news, how 618 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: would you recap it? Oh? This is easy. They put 619 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: out the new format, joining the sixteen current playoff teams 620 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: in Orlando will be New Orleans, Portland, Phoenix, Sacramento, and 621 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: San Antonio in the West, and Washington in the east. Now, 622 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 1: if the ninth seed is more than four games behind 623 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: the eighth seed, number eight makes the playoffs fewer than 624 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: four games. There's a play in tournament. So usually your 625 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: standard algorithm at the ratio is plus two between the 626 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: seventh seed and a twelve seed. Then the ninth seed 627 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: plays a third seed in the best of three series. Basically, no, no, 628 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm good. It's what Seaton said. If giant gets within 629 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: four games, they're gonna give him more games. It is hard. 630 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: I know less than I did once he said, algorithm. 631 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: That's kind of shuts it all down. All right, final 632 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: results of the poll question and then this day in 633 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: sports history, well, who's more likely to win the title? 634 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks or the Tampa eight Bucks. Seventy five 635 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: percent say the Alwaukee Bucks. Although this new format might 636 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: change that. I have no idea this change sports history. 637 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 1: Paul Dan Back in eighteen fifty one, a baseball team, 638 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: the New York Knickerbockers, their pro baseball team, became the 639 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: first baseball team to wear uniforms. They were straw hats, 640 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: white shirts, and blue trousers, and they decided to do 641 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: that every game so they would be distinctive to their fans. 642 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Often what did they wear before then? 643 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: They just wore whatever they wore to the ballpark that day. No, 644 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: teams didn't have uniforms, hadn't been created as a concept, 645 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: so you just showed up in like Jane Jans, you know, 646 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: cargo shorts. I don't think they had cargo short in 647 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: eighteen fifties. I don't know. Checking two thousand and three, 648 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: as we said before, Sammy Sosa the Cubs broke his 649 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: bat when he grounded out against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. 650 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: The bat was using with a cork bat. His explanation 651 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: was he used a cork bat and batting practice to 652 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: put on a show for the fans, and then it 653 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: got mixed in with his normal batting. Yeah. Yeah, guys 654 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: treat their bats better than they do their wives. They 655 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: know exactly what they're doing. I always thought that was 656 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good made up excuse on the fly, though 657 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: it's not. He's not on the truth, but it's a 658 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: not bad made up excuse. Well, when you say on 659 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: the fly, it didn't fly right, But it was on 660 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: the fly. And try to use putting on a show 661 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: for the fans as the excuse. It's all. It's like 662 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: when Andy Pettitt said he used performance a dancing drugs 663 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: because he owed it to his teammates to come back 664 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: from his injury. I did it for you, guys. It 665 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: wasn't for me. I did. I didn't want to do steroids, 666 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: but I did it just so I can go back 667 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: and help you guys. I did it for the team. Yes. 668 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: What was that picture? Who took out the sand paper 669 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: out of his back poppet pocket and threw it out? 670 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: That was Joe nantastic best moment of all time and 671 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: he had it was like when you're filing your nails 672 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: and emory board and and he like he takes it 673 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: out and then you just see it fly away. But 674 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: the light catches in so perfectly as it's flipping away. 675 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: He's slowly moving his head watching it. How did that 676 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: get My wife must have been wearing my baseball pants. 677 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: I didn't put that there. Yeah, yeah, Paul, Well I 678 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: didn't understand about that though, is how would he use 679 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: the emery board between pitches? Would he take it out? 680 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: Scuff the ball real quick and pop it back in 681 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: the pocket. That seems pretty conspicuous. I don't know how 682 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: he was scuffing. That's why I don't understand about that. 683 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: The guys have scuffed before. A lot of times. You'll 684 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: have the third baseman or you'll have the catcher scuff 685 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: because if I throw the ball around the m field, 686 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: Let's say somebody strikes out, I throw it to third base. 687 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: He can he can scrape that. He can cut it 688 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: for me. And guys will take the eyelets, you know 689 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: when you have the glove at the bottom of the glove, 690 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: and then you could you could scrape it there a 691 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: little bit. You were looking for just anything that would 692 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: help you. Catchers would use their shin guards where they 693 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: would have something that was, you know, sticking out where 694 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: you could just scuff it real quickly. But that one 695 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: I didn't understand. Where he's got the nail file there 696 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: and he just sort of brings that his pot hands 697 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: out of his pocket, like see, I don't have anything, 698 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: and then it floats like a leaf down. How did 699 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: this get? Like he'd be like, go ahead, check my 700 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: pockets there. Yeah, let's go around the room. What we 701 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: learned on the program. I'm gonna start with you. Did 702 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 1: you get all your this day in sports history? Paulies 703 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 1: that in? Okay, Todd, what did you learn today? Clay Thompson, 704 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: Kyle Corver maybe a bit too high on CBS's list 705 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: of the all time best shooter. Yeah. I didn't get 706 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: upset about it. I just said, I think to be 707 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: a great shooter in the NBA, you should be able 708 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: to get your shot. And Kyle Corver couldn't get his shot, 709 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: and Steve Kerr couldn't get his shot. I think being 710 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: a good shooter is the ability to get a shot 711 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: to shoot. Kyle Corver doesn't get a shot. I don't 712 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: care how great a shooter he is. He's wonderful and 713 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: warm ups, but he's not getting a shot off. Yeah. Club, 714 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: what if Michael Jordan had been number one on this 715 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: then I would have been screaming. I would have been Yeah, 716 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been good. I surprised Jordan wasn't on there. 717 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: They just gave you the top fifteen, right, yeah, okay, 718 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: maybe sixteen. McLevin, what did you learned? Yeah, Clay Thompson 719 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: number two on this list. Surprised. I'd like a little 720 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: more with him maybe ten years in, but then I'd 721 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: be saying the same thing about Steph Curry.
