Peacock. Also a 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: great radio affiliates around the country, including the formidable Fox 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Sports Radio lineup. Got a poll question, play of the day, 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: a couple of stats of the day as well, all 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: of that coming year away. You know, one of the 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: less positive aspects of all the quarterback chatter is when 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: you talk about guys switching teams and then you sometimes 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: don't think about the guy who currently holds that job 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: with the team you're talking about. The other day, I 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it the NFL networks. David Carr, former NFL quarterback, 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: said that the teams Russell Wilson listed as potential targets 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: should call the Seahawks yesterday. David must have forgotten about 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: one of those teams being the Raiders who employee his 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: brother Derek as their quarterback. But we always do that, 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: Like how many teams have we said would love to 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: have Deshaun Watson. We don't stop and think about the 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: guy who job is at stake if Deshaun Watson goes there, 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: at least not usually. But also if a team is 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: looking at a quarterback, chances are they're not happy with 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback they have. Therefore, that's why they're open to 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: that possibility. And maybe it's fantasy football, like we're all 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: armchair gms, but you know, you get the other side 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: of the equation. We want to bring in the guy 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: to save the day and never the player who's on 32 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: the roster trying to help the team improve gradually. That's 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: not nearly as interesting. Eight seven seven three DP show 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: email address dpitt dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: dp show. Not really much news other than the JJ 36 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: Watt press conference yesterday. Paulie brought this up last week, 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 1: and I think he brought it up to JJ Watt 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: and Pauli said, you know what JJ wat should do? 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: The old school high school. Three hats and you're in 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: a gymnasium and bleachers behind you and you say I'm 41 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: gonna go, and then you put on the hat and 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: everybody cheers. Well, JJ sort of took that and modified it. 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: This is what he had to say about how he 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: was going to pick his cardinal shirt for the workout. 45 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: So he brought in weightlifting into the new shirt that 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: he was going to wear to designate the team he 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: was going to. We had known like kind of the 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: final you know, four or five teams. We had an 49 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: idea of who the final four or five teams were. 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: So I had shirts for each team order just in case, 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: you know, the situation arose. But we were trying to 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: keep this so quiet that I didn't trust whoever at 53 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: the packaging facility would not see my name on the package. 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: And put two and two together, and so I had 55 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: my brother's high school friend use his credit card and 56 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: his address and he shipped the shirts to his house. 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: So shout out to Doug and Joe for making this happen. 58 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. They're they're the true brains behind 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: the shirt that I wore for the workout. All right, 60 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: so JJ watt kind of clandestine, surreptitiously, you should have 61 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: gotten a shout out Pauli at the press conference. Not 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: about me, Dan, it's about us. Well, I would prefer 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: it's about you. Then it could have been about us. 64 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: But that would have been great if he would have said, 65 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: you know my friend. He didn't have to say who 66 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: you're affiliated with? No last name to say, I want 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: to shout out to Pauli, Dougie Paully. He suggested that 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: we do three hats, when I thought, no, I don't 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: want to do that. I'm gonna do three shirts and 70 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: then I'll do four shirts and then I want to 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: do some weightlifting there so I can show off my traps. Yes, 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: paul Yeah, no surprise. So JJ went from hat to 73 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: a tight medium. Sure to show up the traps and 74 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: the guns. What kind of poll question? Who's sitting on 75 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: the poll question today? Like there's a back row collaboration. 76 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: Something happened this morning. I was driving up as I 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: always do, and I came up with a really good 78 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: poll question and then no, no, that doesn't happen at all. Well, 79 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: in my mind it was good. And then I arrived 80 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: at work. I look at my inbox because I don't 81 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: check my phone from the car, and the poll question 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: I came up with is sitting there from one Todd Fritz, Wait, 83 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: you're willing to admit that you and Fritzy are on 84 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: the same wavelength on one of the three. The other 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: two pole questions were terrible, of course, but the first 86 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: one he had was with the same thing. I was thinking, Okay, 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: if I'm a Houston Rockets fan, they're thirty five hundred 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: or so in attendance tonight, would I boo or cheer 89 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: James Harden? That I thought was an interesting question. Okay, 90 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: what would I do as a fan? And Todd stole 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: it from me? They're retiring his jersey tonight? Well, no, 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: they said they want to retire his jersey at some point. 93 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: I don't think is that happening tonight though jersey? I 94 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: have to check that. I maybe not. But they are 95 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: retiring his jersey. Yeah, they announced that that's definitely in 96 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: the plans. Uh. So would I boo James Harden? You know, 97 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,679 Speaker 1: I I don't know how a Houston Rocket fan feels 98 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: any He did play hard well at times, never in 99 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: a big game. He was entertaining. The ending was horrible. 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: You want to boo him? Boo him like? I don't care? 101 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Is he worth? Is he a retired number worthy guy 102 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: who was there actually nine years. I didn't really Yeah, sure, 103 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: I got yeah, I guess, but I don't understand. You're 104 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: so you used to love, not that you don't love 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: James Harton. You said he was the most unstoppable offensive 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: player you've seen three years. But he quit on his team. 107 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Every great star quits on their team at some point, 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: don't they. That's an NBA thing? Uh? I mean he 109 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: quit during games and he's the one. Okay, if I 110 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: throw all of this into the croc pot and it 111 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: is a croc that he got there, great story. They 112 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: almost you know, they were formidable in Oklahoma City. He 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: was six men, got there, one of his own team, 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: got his money, and then was able to build a roster. 115 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: He was able to help build a roster, and then 116 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: he wanted out after he kicked everybody out. Then he said, oh, 117 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: this is not fixable. I went out. I got a 118 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: problem with that. But isn't isn't that similar what Lebron 119 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: James did his first go around in Cleveland. He helped 120 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: build a roster. It didn't work, and he didn't quit 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: during the season. He tried to get players to come there. 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: His owner said he quit and specifically and pointed to 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: like three playoff games, said Lebron gave up. That was 124 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: the one of the early controversies with Lebron. Well, we 125 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: could probably have a different opinion about the other side 126 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: of the equation with the ownership there in Cleveland as well, 127 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: because Lebron came back to Cleveland for the city of Cleveland, 128 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: not that owner for sure. Yeah, but I think it's 129 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: a fine lie. I don't think Lebron quit by way. 130 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: I think he realized it was not working. It did. Well, 131 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: let's see if James Harden goes back in his career 132 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: and wins a title for Houston, because Lebron did come 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: back and say I'm going to win a title for Cleveland. 134 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: But if you say that he first of all, Lebron 135 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: couldn't get anybody to come to Cleveland. His buddy Chris 136 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: Bosh wouldn't even fly into Cleveland. I don't even know 137 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: if he would fly over Cleveland. He was like, no, 138 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to Miami. And Lebron was looking around, going, Okay, 139 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm king James, I'm the chosen one. I'm all to 140 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: these things, but I'm not going to be a champion 141 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: on this roster, and that's when he went to Miami. Now, 142 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: if we want to get into the weeds and you 143 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: say that he quit on the team, at least he 144 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: got to the playoffs. If you're gonna say quit on 145 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: the team, James Harden didn't even get to the playoffs. 146 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: But this was an epic quit this year completely, and 147 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 1: that's why he can't be MVP this year. He quit 148 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: on his team and he wanted out. It's part of 149 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the year I can't go well, you know if you 150 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: just look at the Brooklyn Nets part of this. Yeah, 151 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: he's MVP, and he is and I do love watching 152 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: him play, and I am fascinated by what he does. 153 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: In fifty years I've been watching the NBA, James Harden's 154 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: on the short list of most fascinating players of how 155 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: he does it. Now, I will say this, the guy 156 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: who gets as much attention as he does has done 157 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: less in big games than most of your superstars. In 158 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the fifty years I've been watching the NBA, James Harden 159 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: does not come up big at all at all. Now, 160 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: maybe this year with some help with Durant Guyrie may 161 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: he does. But if you want to retire his jersey retires, 162 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: jus build a statue. I don't care. I mean, I 163 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: just don't. I've moved past James Harden in the Houston Rockets, 164 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: like all right whatever, still love watching him play for 165 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: the Nets. He was unbelievable the other night, and I 166 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: don't want anybody to misconstrue this. I love watching him play. 167 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: I just can't be on board with somebody who quit 168 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: a team he built and then deconstructed and then says 169 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: I want out. I can't be on board with that. 170 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: You're not an MVP. No way is there a distinction, 171 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Like Deshaun Watson is quitting on the Texans, but it's 172 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: totally different, right because it's offseason. I don't know what 173 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: is at the core of all of this. I have 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: a problem with Deshaun Watson. I truly do. Signed up 175 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins was already gone and you were happy as 176 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: you were brought to tears and then all of a sudden, 177 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: what happened? Like did you find out the politics of 178 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: your owner? And that was part of this? Like I 179 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: don't know of diversity? Did did You're not bringing in 180 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: the people I want? Okay? Like I want to know 181 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: what is the biggest reason why Deshaun Wantson wants out. 182 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm truly curious about that because I go back to 183 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: that press conference. I watched that press conference the other day. 184 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: I watched on Sunday, and I went, he couldn't be happier, 185 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: more appreciative. What happened off the field? Was it simply 186 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: you didn't acknowledge me and let me have a say 187 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: so with Eric b enemy? I mean, is that what 188 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: it's all about, because it feels like it was more 189 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, mclovin, what if he has lied to 190 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: and they said you're gonna have us this amount of 191 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: say and then they immediately showed they didn't give him 192 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: that amount of say? Is that possible justification? Well, can 193 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: you go back to him and say, we apologize, we apology, 194 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: truly apologize, and you will be involved. Now, I never 195 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: would have given him that power, never at twenty five. Never. 196 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: But if you did and you went back on your word, 197 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: then and you got a problem with it, and that's 198 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: enough for you to want out. That seems like a stretch. 199 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: It does, But that's at the core of all of 200 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: this is off the field. But what is it you 201 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: brought in an African American head coach who you do 202 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a relationship with. You didn't 203 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: get Robert Sala who went to the Jets, Eric b Enemy. 204 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: You wanted him to at least get interviewed, which I 205 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: do think the Texans made the mistake of saying we're 206 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: not interviewing him, interview him. Everybody got interviewed this year. 207 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett got interviewed this year. It can't hurt. But 208 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: whatever that is, I'm curious about that with Deshaun Watson. 209 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: By the way, when you talk about Houston sports, you 210 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: know last one don't turn off the lights. I mean 211 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: Chris Paul, DeAndre Hopkins, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Garrett Cole, 212 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: j J. Watt, now Deshaun Watson in the on deck circle. 213 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: George Springer hit her homer and spring training the other 214 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: day too, I think for the Blue Jays, Yeah, it's great, 215 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: but that's the last two years that's happened. It's been 216 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: crazy there. Yeah, Paully going back to Harden, the hardened situation, 217 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: going back to his old team. It's like if you 218 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: have a contractor redo the kitchen your house. He's doing 219 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: a fine job. He's doing the work. It's all great, 220 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: it looks beautiful, and then right before he finishes, he 221 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: just leaves town and it's like eighty percent and done, 222 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: and he leaves you the big pile of mess. And 223 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: then you see him at the local pub. How'd you 224 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: like the kitchen I built? Via You didn't finish the job. 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: You didn't build a kitchen. You tore out of here, 226 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: left me with a big old mess. And how how 227 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: do you think the Houston fans are gonna be tonight? 228 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: They're not gonna or tomorrow whatever it is, they're gonna 229 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: be this is salty about what happened recently. They're not 230 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: gonna calm down and think about what he did for 231 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: them in the past five years. Yeah, it's up to them. 232 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: I mean, how you take it. I mean that's part 233 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: of being a fan, Like you live and die with 234 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: with these teams, with these players, and how important they 235 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: are and how important they are to your city. Like 236 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: we always love that civic pride, like my team as 237 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: if you're part of the team, Well, you're just a fan. 238 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: You want to boo James Harden, Boo James Harden. You 239 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: know what, let me say, James Harden. It won't matter. 240 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: They won't matter. Now if he gets booed at the 241 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: Strip club after the game, then he might care. Yeah, 242 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: doesn't time always heal? These woms like five and Green 243 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Bay were on the ALPS for a few years. Yeah, 244 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: so like I know you like you probably have talked 245 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: to retired athletes who had beef with their team. Bratch 246 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: on the Steelers, but at least like in fairness to 247 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: far they drafted his replacement. But you know, Farve kept 248 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: going back. He was wishy washy with what he was doing, 249 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: if how long he was going to play. I went 250 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: to that Seattle I went to the Seattle playoff game 251 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: when no it was New Years Eve. I went to 252 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: a game with my son because he was a Packer fan. 253 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: He's a Packer fan, and I thought, let me take 254 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: him to see Brad fabs last game. We thought that 255 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: was going to be his last game. And I just 256 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: talked to him after the game and I realized he 257 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: wasn't retiring. But everybody thought that. So the Packers they 258 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: didn't know, like are you retiring? I don't know. And 259 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: then they drafted his replacement, and then that led to 260 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: the acrimony there and then he wanted out, but at 261 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: least I understood why he might be upset. But he 262 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: was part of the problem as well because he kept 263 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: going back and forth if he wanted to stay or not. 264 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, he wanted boot James Harden. Boot James Harden. 265 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't care less. Yes, Now, if you're the front 266 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: office or coach Silas or his former teammates, do they 267 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: secretly hope he gets booed? And what's that interaction going 268 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: to be? Like? If any I know with COVID and 269 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: everything between his former teammates out walk with me. Oh, 270 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: this team isn't any good. They got other worries than 271 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: James Harden getting cheered or booed. Well, they lost eleven 272 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: in a row, twelve twelve in a row, Like who 273 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, Oh, we're gonna show him and then you're 274 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna go out and torch you for thirty five. James 275 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: Harden is not going to be concerned about any of 276 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: this stuff. He's not. But it's up to you, Houston. 277 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: What I mean, do what you feel like is in 278 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: your heart you want to go there and you want 279 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: to boo him, then boo him. But it doesn't matter. 280 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: It won't matter to him. I mean, he might say afterwards, yeah, 281 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: a little disappointed, but hey, I understand why they could 282 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: be upset, But you're right. Time heals all wounds. Yeah, 283 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: Paul Houston. People are more mad at Nick right for 284 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: making fun of their barbecue than they are James Harden. 285 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: Barbecue is what Houston's about, not bask oh.

We'll talk to Greg Anthony. I just saw 296 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: where sp Nation had the top fifty college basketball teams 297 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: of all time, and you know I hate lists. This 298 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: is single season greatest college basketball teams of all time. 299 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: And I don't agree with the number one team on 300 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: this list. But if I'll give you the top five, 301 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: then I don't agree with number five on this list. 302 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: Let's see, so I got UCLA. Ucla is in here, 303 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: as you might expect, Duca is in here. North Carolina 304 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: is in here. You know San Francisco with Bill Russ. 305 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: So un l V, the team that Greg Anthony played 306 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: on Texas Western. They pulled the upset with Kentucky, although 307 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: it probably wasn't an upset, the first all black starting 308 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: five coached by Don Haskins, Kentucky with John Calipari. You know, 309 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: so it's the top fifty teams of all time, and 310 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: it's good because it creates conversation. But you know, you 311 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: start to look at some of these teams, and some 312 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: of the teams that are in the top ten didn't 313 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: even win the national title that year, including Greg Anthony's 314 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: team that lost to Duke. That was with Stacy Augman 315 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: and Larry Johnson Anderson Hunt. That was a great team. 316 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: That's as sure a thing as I probably if that 317 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: I can remember. During the regular season, UNLV was that dominating, 318 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: and they had already beaten Duke the year before, and 319 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: then they got to the final four championship game, and 320 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: I think people started to wonder if U and LB 321 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: is in a close game, will they win? And it 322 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: came down to a close game and they lost. Yes, 323 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: point they were a Duke was a double digit underdog 324 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: in Vegas in that game against U and LV. That's 325 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: a lot in the finals. Well, they had been blown 326 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: out by thirty the year before. I believe wasn't at 327 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: thirty points. That's right? Is that? What's the biggest blowout 328 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: in NCAA championship history? They lost one h three seventy 329 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: three the previous year. Yeah, and the line was I 330 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: got it at twelve and a hook there, twelve and 331 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: a half points in a final with Duke on the 332 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: wrong end of it. But I'm trying to think the 333 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: biggest blowouts I was in. I was at college at 334 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: Southern Illinois and my bookie at college got him in George. 335 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: He was in different fraternity the house. He doesn't mind 336 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: talking about this, big dude. We were watching that UNLV 337 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: Duke game where Duke won and he had a lot 338 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: on ULB like a ton, And when the game ended, 339 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: he took the nineteen inches Zenith TV opened up the 340 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: second floor window of his attorney house and chucked it 341 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: out the window. That's how that's a great day, I'll 342 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: run down that list with Greg Anthony. He'll join us 343 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: coming up next. Maybe he doesn't agree with me with 344 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: James Harden that Harden should be one of the front 345 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: runners for the MVP. I mean right now, if you 346 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: want to say who's playing great, you know the Joker 347 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: Jok again triple double last night against Jannis Phoenix Suns. 348 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns are here to stay, folks. They are beat 349 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: the Lakers last night and I know, not fully assembled Lakers, 350 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: but I Chris Paul. Watching Chris Paul, there is a calmness, 351 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: there is stability with him. You know, he's nowhere near 352 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: what he once was, but what he knows what he 353 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: is now and it's on display. He just has an 354 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: ability to not let something get away from them. Devin 355 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: book So you have Devin Booker gets tossed last night, 356 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: Like the Suns win this game and Chris Paul wasn't 357 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: great and Devin Booker gets tossed in the third quarter, 358 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: which I thought was lane and they still won this 359 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: game over the Lakers. Yes, mclen by way, should you 360 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: give a warning and people are in their car and 361 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: you start talking about jokes for MVP, just so they 362 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: don't fall asleep and swerve off the road because this 363 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: game it's so boring. Also, if your game's exciting, you 364 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: can win an MVP, but if it's boring then you can't. Yes, 365 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: is that what you're saying. Yes, I joke and the jazz, 366 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: the jazz and Nuggets are No. Trianon was boring. Oh 367 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: my god, he was so Moses Malone was boring. Well, 368 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: that's a little different. No, it's none. He played in Philly, 369 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: so that's different. He was boring. If he's your boy 370 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: guy you could root for, but he was boring. I 371 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: played under the rim and he was seven feet tall. 372 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: It's weird. No, Moses Maloan was probably six nine. He 373 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: rarely dunked. Do you remember many dunks? No, I do not, 374 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: but I do know that if there was an offensive rebound, 375 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: he was getting it. We'll take a break, we'll settle 376 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: on a poll question. We'll be back after this and 377 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show.

Second was UCLA in nineteen sixty 412 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: eight with Luel Sindor beating North Carolina by twenty three. 413 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: I mentioned the SB Nation list of the top fifty 414 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: college basketball teams of all time. Let me start at 415 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: ten Georgetown nineteen eighty five, and I believe that team 416 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: lost to Villanova in the title game San Francisco with 417 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: Bill Russell in nineteen fifty six. UNLV nineteen ninety one. 418 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: They lost that year in the semifinals to Duke. Kentucky's 419 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: in there twenty twelve when Anthony Davis was there. Ucla 420 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven. Here's your top five David Thompson, North 421 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: Carolina State nineteen seventy four. They beat UCLA in the 422 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: semis and then won the national title. North Carolina nineteen 423 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: eighty two with Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, James Worthy Duke 424 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: in ninety two, Indiana Undefeated nineteen seventy six, and your 425 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: number one college basketball team of all time was nineteen 426 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: seventy two with Bill Walton, they went undefeated. We make 427 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: way for Greg Anthony, who was a member of that 428 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: UNLV team. T and T, by the way, the exclusive 429 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: coverage of the NBA Star Game this Sunday, Greg working 430 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: for TNT and NBA analyst as well. What do you 431 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: think of that list there, Greg? It might be a 432 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: little bogus, Okay, just a little, but you know, it 433 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: is really difficult to compare teams and what you know, 434 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: this Dan being into business as long as you have. 435 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: All that is is a bunch of people's opinion, and 436 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people who gave that opinion 437 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: didn't see any of those teams play, So you got 438 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: to take that stuff with the great assault. They listen, 439 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: they were all great teams. And it's one thing about 440 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: the tournament and I've always said, this is one of 441 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: the things that we love about it is that oftentimes 442 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: the best team doesn't win, you know, and you talked 443 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: about that Georgetown team. They were three points away from 444 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: winning three straight. They lost at the basically at the 445 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: buzzer to Carolina, that great Carolina team, right by one. 446 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: They didn't beat I think they beat Houstonston next year. 447 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: Then they lose to Villanova by two when Villanova shot 448 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: seventy nine percent the second half. You know, So to 449 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: say that anybody really was better than that, you know, 450 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: you gotta say to not have a lou All Sender 451 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: lad team in the top five from UCLA is to 452 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: me a little suspect. So, you know, I do want 453 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 1: to ask you a question, though, mister Patrick, because I 454 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: was listening. I had the good fortune of being able 455 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: to listen to your diet tribe a little earlier before 456 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: I came on, and you guys were going off on 457 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: James Harden and all these guys, and I would just 458 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: ask you, guys, one thing. Think of it like a divorce. 459 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: Divorces can be messy until the emotion subside and then eventually, 460 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, the greater good comes out. What's most important. 461 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: A lot of times you got kids or whatever and 462 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: you move on. And so James Harden is one of 463 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: the five greatest Houston Rockets of all time. Okay, I 464 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: put dream on there. I think y'all deserves to be 465 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: on that list. Uh, Moses Malone and Elvin Hayes. To me, 466 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: those are the five greatest of all in there. Now, 467 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: Drex is not on that Drex want to play two 468 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: for years. He's not on that list. He's on the Portlands. 469 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: You know he was on he got traded mid season 470 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: the second Ajamma, yeah you think of Houston. I'm sorry, 471 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, you know, this is the 472 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: same scenario that played out with Anthony Davis when he 473 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: left New Orleans and it's and it's also no different 474 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: when a team you guys were saying he quit. What 475 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: did the team do? What do teams do when they decide, hey, 476 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: we're not gonna play you anymore because we're looking to trade. 477 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: Aren't those teams quitting on the player by that standard? 478 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: That's what? But no, but James Harden, Yeah, but Andre 479 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: Drummond's playing for a team that's not going anywhere. James 480 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: Harden helped build a team, though, greg and divorces can 481 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: be messy. You know, Gwyneth Paltrow can uncouple with Chris 482 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: Martin and it's okay, or you can have your spouse 483 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: cheat on you. There's a big difference in those two. 484 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: And James Harden wanted out after he helped build a team. 485 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: He's the one that constructed and deconstructed. That's why I 486 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: would never vote for him for MVP this year with 487 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: what he did in three of that. Think of it 488 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: this way, when you when you go and you basically 489 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: you fire a future Hall of Fame GM and Darryl Mourray, 490 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: you fire a future coach, future Hall of Fame coach 491 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: and Mike D'Antoni, and you hire guys who have never 492 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: done the jobs before. In the midst of the prime 493 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: of my career, when I at a point now where 494 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: I'm probably on the back nine and this is my 495 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: last chance to have an opportunity to win a title. 496 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: So you've just told me we're about to rebuild, and 497 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: we're not only are we rebuilding, we're gonna take a 498 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: chance with our rebuild because if people were hiring, they've 499 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: never done the job before. And so at that point, 500 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: as a as a dominant player, which James Harden is. 501 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: I think it's time in his mind, he wanted to 502 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: move on and I and again, it's not that he 503 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: didn't enjoy as time in Houston. It's not that they 504 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: didn't give it a go. You know, I'm always amused 505 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: when people want to blame James hard Oh you know, 506 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: you know he didn't. He didn't win a championship. The 507 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: only team I mean he played the Golden State Warriors, 508 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: one of the greatest teams of all time. They got 509 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: four guys who are gonna going to Hall of Fame. 510 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: James Harden had a year and a half, two years 511 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: with Chris Paul. Chris Paul doesn't get hurt. They probably 512 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: won that series. You know, we we blame a great player. 513 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: It's no different than when Lebron couldn't beat San Antonio 514 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: early in his career. They got four Hall of famers. 515 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: He's not playing with other Hall of famers when he's 516 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: on those Cleveland teams. You know, winning is not a guarantee. 517 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: And I don't blame a guy for not having as 518 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: good a team as another team. Now, he never stepped 519 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: up in a big moment. He never appointments in the postseason, though, 520 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm with you there, but I'm just saying, the guys 521 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: an all time great, what all time great wouldn't want 522 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: to an opportunity to win a championship towards the latter 523 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: stages of his career. Like, I'm not upsetting him for 524 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: wanting out, and quite frankly, Houston could have probably handled 525 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: it better. It's not like it was a surprise to 526 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: them at that point, and so both sides deserve a 527 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: little bit of blame. But I will tell you this, 528 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: the fans there will and our appreciative of what James 529 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Harden did. James Harden was a great player for the 530 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. He made them relevant and all you gotta 531 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: do is look at what's going on now. James has 532 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: moved on on a championship caliber team, the Rockets. Tourna 533 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: midst of eleven game music try. He's Greig Anthony KNT 534 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: NBA analyst Lebron asked for the night offers gets the 535 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: night off against Cremento tonight. How do you think that works? 536 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: Where does Lebron say I want the night I'm always 537 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: curious about that. Greg. Do you think Greg that he 538 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: just goes in and goes, I'm thinking about taking the 539 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: night off, and then Frank Vogel goes, you know, I'm 540 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: thinking you should take the night off, Lebron, and then 541 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: Lebron takes the night off. Lebron is so calculated. Then 542 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: I think what happened is there were messages sent from 543 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: his people to the Lakers, so that ultimately the way 544 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: it plays out is that the team decides he's going 545 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: to have the night off. So he has plausible deniability. Yeah, 546 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: to be able to say I didn't want to take 547 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: the night out. I'm here to play, because that's the 548 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: one thing that Lebron can hold over everybody else in 549 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: the league right now. Think about it. Eighteenth year in 550 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: on a team as a defending champ. He's going to 551 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: have all the records. There are all is talk about 552 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: guys not playing lolo, managing all that stuff. And here's 553 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: a guy that hadn't missed the game all season. Yeah, 554 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: short offseason. Team is in this array right now because 555 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: of all the injuries that you know, they've lost five 556 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: out of the last seven games, and so but he 557 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: has the ability to say, look, I wanted to play, 558 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: but the team just felt this was in the best 559 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: interest moving forward, and he has the plausible deniability of 560 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: not having to say that I asked for the day. Now. 561 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm watching the game last night and you know, Booker 562 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: gets tossed. It wasn't a great performance by Phoenix, but 563 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: you beat La in La Like Phoenix is real to me, Greg, 564 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: And I think Chris Paul and you played a point 565 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: guard position, like, you know, like he just gives stability there. 566 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: Like there's something about Chris Paul on the floor. I 567 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: can't put my hand on it, finger on it, but 568 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: it's there. It's real. And to have a young team 569 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: there and it feels like they're they're in it for 570 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: the long haul this season. Absolutely, I think it's a 571 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: great assessment on your part. Listen, leadership right now. You know, 572 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 1: sometimes we get caught up in stats, right and got oh, 573 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: he's averaging almost a triple double stats. It's like football 574 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,239 Speaker 1: stats are a little skewed right now, right because if 575 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: you wouldn't looked at a quarterback from the seventies or 576 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: the eighties and you just looked at their numbers, there's 577 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: no way in hell they're getting Hall of Famer there, right, 578 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: because they're not throwing they're not putting up the number. 579 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: They didn't throw it sixty times a game back then 580 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: fifty times a game. And in basketball, similarly, the numbers 581 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: are a little skewed. You know, scoring is way up, 582 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: the rule changes, all those things have played a role 583 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: at it, And so I always tell people when you're 584 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: looking at it, to me, the biggest status wins and losses, 585 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: and like right now, you know, if you want to 586 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: talk about the real MVP contenders to meet, Chris Paul's 587 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: clearly top five, maybe higher. To the point you made 588 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: a young team, he's teaching a team how to win. 589 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: Like you made a great point. Everybody wins in the 590 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: league when they play their best. The really good teams 591 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: can win when they don't, and last night was indicative 592 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: of that. For Phoenix, they win a game when they 593 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: didn't play their best. Their most talented player gets tossed, 594 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: but they still figured out the way. And Chris Paul's 595 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: stats don't blow your way last night, you know. But 596 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: a lot of leadership has nothing to do with the game. 597 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: It's preparations, it's connection, it's trust, it's accountability, it's all 598 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: these other things that he has brought there. They were 599 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: on the verge of making a step, but and the 600 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: other thing. And you noticed the people don't understand the 601 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: way of expectation, you know. So look at Denver and 602 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: look at Dallas coming into this year, high expectations, right 603 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: because of based on what they did last year, and 604 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: they struggled early and there are reasons why you got 605 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: guys out of injury, blah blah. But the reality is 606 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: they hadn't performed like a lot of people thought. Phoenix 607 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: had the same expectations. They won all eight games in 608 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: the bottle. You know, Devin Booker's playing terrific. They bring 609 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: in Chris Paul, a lot of expectations, and up until 610 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, they had the fourth best 611 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: record in the league. So to me, that's value. That's 612 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: what value is to me. It's not just what stats 613 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: of guys giving you. It's the impact he's having on 614 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: your organization in terms of winning. And Chris Paul has 615 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: done that in spades. And yeah, the Lakers will tell you, Look, 616 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: they didn't not only do they not have anything, they 617 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: didn't have Kyle Kuzmen either. I mean, it's tough they're 618 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: still but if Lebron's on the floor, they still have 619 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: a chance to win. We all know that, So give 620 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: Phoenix a lot of credit. They're really good basketball team, 621 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: and they're also really good at winning time, which is 622 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: even more important than that speaks to the impact of 623 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: a guy like Chris faul. It's so it's great to 624 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: mix it up with you, Greg. I hope you're well. 625 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Probably the eighteen foot jumper, it's about 626 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: it right in fifteen eighteen. Yeah. I take my youngest 627 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: son out in the back you know, on the who 628 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: here at the house, and I can still whenever I 629 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: need to build up my confidence, I take him out 630 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: and kick his ass, you know, like just but he's 631 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: only four though, Greg, that's always nine. Okay. I had 632 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: to stop playing my older struck about five six years 633 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: ago because he was he was kicking my tail too often. 634 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: What was that like, though? When when Cole, when when 635 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: you realize that your son was better than you? Oh? Man, 636 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: he was. It's about six seven years ago, and uh, 637 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: we're playing in the backyard, and I'm gonna be on 638 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: because like at this point physically he had matured right, 639 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: and so he was quicker, stronger. It's just better. But 640 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: I still had experience so I'm battling it and he 641 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: wins the first game, so we do it best two 642 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: at three. We're I that point. On the second game, 643 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: they both my achilles and hamstrings felt like they were 644 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: about to tear, and the only out I had was 645 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: I said, look, I'm gonna have to call it right 646 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 1: now because I don't want to risk injury for fear 647 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: of ruining my golf game. I said, so we're gonna 648 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: call us or watch, and he lost it because he's like, no, 649 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm up and we're tired. I said that He's like, 650 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: this is not a watch. But I never acknowledged that 651 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: he won. But I will say he had good. He 652 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: had a good chance of winning that day if we 653 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: were able to finish, but the game got called to 654 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: it and he's done pretty well with Orlando, averaging eleven 655 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: a game in his rookie season.

He probably should 662 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: have been a lawyer because he always wanted to debate 663 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: and he's the kind of guy that would take the 664 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: other side just to take the other side so you 665 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: can have a discussion. Yeah, boy, I loved his take 666 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: because I agree with him on Lebron that Lebron's people 667 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: said to the Lakers, you're sitting Lebron down for this game, 668 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: not Lebron sitting himself down.

An NFL analyst, not specifically a 694 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: draft analyst, but a big time NFL analyst gave his 695 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: quarterback rankings. He does these every year for about the 696 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: past five years, and they're scaldingly hot. Here's a couple 697 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: of hints. He does not have Trevor Lawrence as his 698 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: top ranked quarterback of this class. He does not you 699 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: have justin Fields in his top four quarterbacks in this class. 700 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: Can you guess who the analyst is before you look 701 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: at it?

Now you 703 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: can open the list. I'm gonna open up the Zach 704 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: Wilson of b YU number one, Revor Lawrence number two, 705 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: Mac Jones number three, Kellen mund Texas A and m 706 00:39:52,239 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: Justin Fields five, Trey Lance six. Wow. Wow. Uh Chris. 707 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago he had Lamar Jackson is 708 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: the number one quarterback going into the draft. He's not 709 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: afraid and saying that Zach Wilson is his number one 710 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: quarterback on the board. He's not the first to do this, 711 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 1: but there were nobody attached their name to it. There 712 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: was I think one team that had Zach Wilson ahead 713 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence on their big board. But Chris Simms 714 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: is not afraid. Yeah, Chris Sims. He is giving no 715 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: commentary on this list right now. He's taping his podcast 716 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: as we speak to explain his list. Okay, Well, when 717 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: he's done taping his podcast, he should join us in 718 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: the final hour of the show. Yes, see last year 719 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: Chris Simms Draft quarterback rankings. Do you want to go 720 00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: through them? Yeah? Sure, Do you want to guess Joe Burrow? Yes? Uh, 721 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Yes. I don't think he put Jordan Love 722 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: in there. Jordan Love he's third two and the tongue 723 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: of Ioloa's fourth. Okay, uh, I don't even know who 724 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: the fifth one? Oh? Okay, all right, that's not as 725 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: bombshell ish as what this is. It's Jack Wilson over 726 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I don't even care about that. The Callum 727 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: Mond over Justin Fields and Trey Lance, that is fire. 728 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, callum Mond. He played college football for fourteen 729 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: and a half years. How can you all of a 730 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 1: sudden be a top first round pick. Well, he's he's 731 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: really prepared. Callumnt you know, A and M's supposed to 732 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: had a good senior Bowl week. That's that's very hot. 733 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: That's even hotter than Zach Wilson going you think. I mean, 734 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: it is against everything that's been written about the draft. 735 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: I haven't seen Kellen mund on a quarterback list. He 736 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: had a good he was reportedly a Senior Bowl star, 737 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: but he's like a third or fourth round right. It 738 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: was like a third fourth rounder. It was the sixth, 739 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: sixth year Senior Bowl star, like is a six year 740 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: of college justin Fields? Is it? I mean, I don't 741 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,919 Speaker 1: know what you're hint there, but it seems like he's 742 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: flying all over the place. Yes, drafts, Yes he is. 743 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: And I can only go by what I told you 744 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: yesterday that NFL scout told me. People are overthinking Justin Fields. 745 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: They're they're worried that he's another Dwayne Haskins, just guilt 746 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: by association of being in the Ohio state quarterback. But 747 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: you overthink that. This reminds me of overthinking Deshaun Watson. 748 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Justin Fields is DeShawn Watson. I'm 749 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: saying that the analysis, you overthink these things. And it 750 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: always goes back to what I bring up when it 751 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: comes to somebody who might have some flaws. Do you 752 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: focus on the positives or do you focus on the negatives? 753 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: And when you focus on what they don't do, that 754 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: can sometimes talk yourself into or out of drafting somebody. 755 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, Mitchell Drubisky, Oh let me tell you what 756 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 1: they do? What about what they don't do? Jay Billis 757 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: will join us coming up next hour.
