Speaker 2: three pole question Dylan?
Speaker 3: All right, then we're gonna go off roading a little
Speaker 3: bit here. Something we talked about earlier, what subjects should
Speaker 3: they stop doing documentaries on? OJ Simpson, Aaron Hernandez, Biggie
Speaker 3: and Tupac or other Because there's a new OJ docuseriies
Speaker 3: out and I kind of think they covered it.
Speaker 2: But I was told if you think you know everything
Speaker 2: about the OJ Simpson trial situation life, think again that
Speaker 2: I think it's a three part series documentary on OJ Simpson.
Speaker 2: I don't really care anymore. I know that there was
Speaker 2: you know, it was poorly handled from the prosecution side,
Speaker 2: But I don't know what hasn't come out in the
Speaker 2: last couple of decades here. You know, he killed two people,
Speaker 2: he got away with it, and what else is there
Speaker 2: to know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, The new one is called American Manhunt OJ Simpson.
Speaker 4: It's by Netflix and it just was released.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: It says they have interviews with people on both sides
Speaker 4: of the case who had never done interviews before. No
Speaker 4: names are given.
Speaker 5: Great, all right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, back in the day, I used to hang at
Speaker 4: a bar that you and I had been to in
Speaker 4: the Burbank area, and I struck up a friendship with
Speaker 4: Kat o'kalon, who everyone knows from the O. J.
Speaker 6: Simpson case.
Speaker 5: And we kept in.
Speaker 4: Touch over the years and talked whenever I'd be out there,
Speaker 4: and I never ever spoke to him once about the
Speaker 4: OJ Simpson case. And he found that refreshing. And he says,
Speaker 4: the funny thing is people come up to me and
Speaker 4: meet me at airports and restaurants and they say, hey,
Speaker 4: real quick, tell me tell me something I didn't know,
Speaker 4: Tell me something and OJ and Kato always says, like
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell someone randomly the cheesecake factory. Well
Speaker 4: this is this is what I never told people for
Speaker 4: twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I you know, you watched an unfold and
Speaker 2: OJ paid a lot of money to get the right people,
Speaker 2: and Johnny Cochrane did what you want your lawyer to do.
Speaker 5: They got him off. That's it I mean.
Speaker 2: And I look, I did the interview with OJ Simpson,
Speaker 2: uh after the fact, and he was still trying that case.
Speaker 2: He wanted to talk about that case because I was
Speaker 2: there to talk to him about football. Granted, bad decision
Speaker 2: on my part because nobody cared about OJ Simpson the
Speaker 2: football player after that trial. But I think I was
Speaker 2: playing USC in the Orange Bowl and I thought, you
Speaker 2: know what, maybe we should talk to OJ about football.
Speaker 2: And we talked for ninety minutes, I think, And that
Speaker 2: was the infamous exchange where we're changing tapes and the
Speaker 2: cameraman is going to put a new tape in, We're
Speaker 2: going to start the interview again, and OJ, out of
Speaker 2: nowhere goes, do you think I did it? And I
Speaker 2: said did what? Because I wanted him to tell me,
Speaker 2: and then he said, killed those people, and then I
Speaker 2: said yes, and then my cameraman goes, we're ready, and
Speaker 2: then we started. He started backing on football questions. And
Speaker 2: then he says to me, because you know.
Speaker 5: You don't know what my life is like. I go,
Speaker 5: I don't care what your life is like. Like I
Speaker 5: didn't care.
Speaker 2: He goes, I was in a hotel in Vegas and
Speaker 2: I walked by a room and they're shooting a porn
Speaker 2: and they go, come on, OJ, do you want to
Speaker 2: come in and be in the porn movie? I said,
Speaker 2: And like, wow, okay, that's crazy. Is that the worst
Speaker 2: thing that happened to you? Like, oh my god, delusional, scary, delusional,
Speaker 2: but not like his presence didn't like it didn't jump
Speaker 2: out at me. It didn't look like he could harm anybody.
Speaker 2: By then, I mean, he was kind of slunched, you know,
Speaker 2: slumped over, and he was not He's not OJ, yes,
Speaker 2: do me.
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, if that's the worst thing
Speaker 3: that happens to you, I don't know if that's a
Speaker 3: good excuse for killing someone.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, But he's saying his life after the fact, you know, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this was post when I
Speaker 2: interviewed him.
Speaker 6: Not good.
Speaker 2: Uh, look who's on the road. Smiley face doesn't have
Speaker 2: to sit next to Fritzy. Okay, Seaton is by a
Speaker 2: waffle house boy. That narrows it down in the South.
Speaker 2: We should be able to pick exactly where you are. Okay, Todd,
Speaker 2: where is Seaton right now?
Speaker 6: He is in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Speaker 5: Okay, Dylan.
Speaker 3: Somewhere outside Atlanta.
Speaker 5: Okay, Marvin, he's in Atlanta.

Speaker 7: We are on twenty West, somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham,
Speaker 7: where we're going to next. Okay, yeah, so we're not
Speaker 7: too far outside of Atlanta, though.
Speaker 5: And he highlights that you would like to illuminate us on.
Speaker 7: Let's see, Well, yesterday was awesome. Charlotte is a great city. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that place was a lot of fun. I'd never been
Speaker 7: there before other than the airport, but charlott And is awesome. Greenville,
Speaker 7: South Carolina, what a place.
Speaker 8: That place is ran too.
Speaker 7: We were with Phil Collins yesterday. He's got real like
Speaker 7: Troy Aikman, vibes. Actually that guy, he's he's pretty cool.
Speaker 7: He's got a real troy and like he'll say something

Speaker 7: love this dude.
Speaker 8: But so far, yeah, so far, things are good.
Speaker 7: We're gonna get to Birmingham in about two hours or

Speaker 8: Yeah, we should end up there today. I'm gonna try
Speaker 8: to stop by.
Speaker 7: I think we drive through Tuscaloosa, so might make a
Speaker 7: quick pit stop there. Fall sight seeing, yeah, well time,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna try not to do that commercial that you
Speaker 7: see all the time, high.
Speaker 8: Tide, high time.
Speaker 5: I stayed at a hotel in the Gulf Port.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I've never
Speaker 8: been there.
Speaker 7: I'm really really looking forward to getting there tonight, and
Speaker 7: then tomorrow we're onto New Orleans.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 4: Yes, Balie seeting on your way to Birmingham, you will
Speaker 4: pass right by the Talladega super Speedway, which is as
Speaker 4: Nascar as it gets.
Speaker 6: That's a great spot.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'll let you get the bad
Speaker 4: boy on the track, but if you can take some
Speaker 4: hot laps.
Speaker 5: That'd be nice to get you a van out there.
Speaker 8: Oh, that'd be awesome. That's a great idea. That's a
Speaker 8: great idea.
Speaker 7: I know when you start to look at the map,
Speaker 7: you can just sort of like pinpoint all of these things,
Speaker 7: like I really want to go to Jackston. I really
Speaker 7: want you know, there's Oxford isn't too far away, but
Speaker 7: you know on the map it's this far and then
Speaker 7: you're like, oh no that's four hours.
Speaker 8: Aye, dang.
Speaker 5: All right, Well we'll talk to you tomorrow. Save travels.
Speaker 8: Yeah, look forward to seeing you guys.
Speaker 2: That seat O'Connor on the road with the French Kid
Speaker 2: somewhere outside of Atlanta. I remember Smyrna. When I lived
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, somebody lived in Smyrna and I was like
Speaker 2: Smyrna Alfaretta. Back then, Alfaretta was all form like horse country.
Speaker 2: Now crazy developed out there, all right. Uh Bill Belichick
Speaker 2: was on the uh Let's Go podcast with Jim greg
Speaker 2: and uh Bill was talking about the Super Bowl Trophy.
Speaker 10: Players win games. You can't win games without good players.
Speaker 10: I don't care who the coach is, it's impossible. You
Speaker 10: can't win without good players. I mean it's you know,
Speaker 10: it's Brady, it's McGinnis, it's Rabel, it's Bruski, it's Corey Dillon,
Speaker 10: it's Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Lawyer Malloy, ty Law, Rodney Harrison.
Speaker 10: Those are guys that won the games.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 10: I didn't make any tackles. I didn't make any kicks.
Speaker 10: That was Vintari that made that kick in four inches
Speaker 10: of snow. You got to have good players. They don't
Speaker 10: name it the Star Trophy. It's named Littlembardi Trophy.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's a name it the Brady Trophy. He wants
Speaker 5: seven of.
Speaker 2: Them, Okay, And Jim was you know he was bringing
Speaker 2: a bart Star, the Green Bay Packer quarterback. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: it's named the Lombardi Trophy. And you know it sounded
Speaker 2: like that was off the cuff and Bill was having
Speaker 2: a little bit of fun. Then people picked up on
Speaker 2: it and said, you know, should they name the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl Trophy after Tom Brady? And the answer is no, no,
Speaker 2: And they still call it the Larry O'Brien Trophy in
Speaker 2: the NBA. How about the MVP of the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: if you want to do something like that like the
Speaker 2: NBA did, Hey, here's the Larry Bird Trophy for the
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference MVP or Magic Johnson Western Conference MVP.
Speaker 5: Yes time, since I believe nineteen.
Speaker 6: Ninety, they referred to it as the Pete Rosella Ward.
Speaker 11: I don't know how much it's publicized, but the Super
Speaker 11: Bowl MVP Award is the Pete Rosella Award, and I
Speaker 11: don't know how long it's going to stay that way.
Speaker 6: If they would change their name for someone.
Speaker 5: Else, well I could see them doing it, but we
Speaker 5: don't have to. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Are we going to call it the Michael Jordan Trophy
Speaker 2: if you win the win the NBA Finals? But why
Speaker 2: are we taking Lombardi off the trophy? Yeah, he was
Speaker 2: instrumental in the beginning part of the NFL Super Bowl
Speaker 2: Super Bowl one and two. I think he won five
Speaker 2: NFL titles total, two Super Bowls.
Speaker 5: Leave on there. He didn't do anything, and Tom Brady,
Speaker 5: you want the MVP. Great, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 12: Well, changing the name wouldn't be uncharted territory. The Larry
Speaker 12: O'Brien Trophy was renamed in nineteen eighty four. He used
Speaker 12: to be the Walter A. Brown title.
Speaker 2: He was another commissioner, correct, and then Larry O'Brien came in,
Speaker 2: but they didn't call it the d David Stern would
Speaker 2: never let him call it the David Stern Trophy.
Speaker 5: It never happened.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I don't think I'm for naming the Super
Speaker 4: Bowl MVP after Tom Brady.
Speaker 6: He has five of them.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a reason for it, and it would
Speaker 4: make a lot of sense, But eventually someone could have
Speaker 4: six and then you would almost by de facto, have
Speaker 4: to make it theirs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that would be a nice thing to watch
Speaker 5: the handoff.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, literally, Tom would hand off the trophy and
Speaker 2: they have to take out his name and then put
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes on there.
Speaker 6: He'd be eighty, he'd be looking thirty.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tom's like Benjamin Button. He's getting younger and
Speaker 2: younger and younger. Looking he gets older, I get older,
Speaker 2: he looks younger.
Speaker 5: That's not fair.
Speaker 2: Here's a couple of things to keep your ear on.
Speaker 2: I'd say your eyes. But you're going to hear the
Speaker 2: following this week and next week. You know, Kellen Moore
Speaker 2: might be the leading candidate to be the Saints head coach. Okay,
Speaker 2: until somebody beats them. The Chiefs are still the best
Speaker 2: team in the NFL. The Super Bowl will be decided
Speaker 2: in the trenches. The Eagles will need a big game
Speaker 2: from Saquon Barklay. The Chiefs are very difficult to beat.
Speaker 5: In one score games.
Speaker 6: They really are.
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll may be old from an age standpoint, but
Speaker 2: he brings a youthful energy to the Raiders. Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: and pat Ronnie should part ways in the near future.
Speaker 2: It's tough for small markets to keep up with the
Speaker 2: big spending Dodgers focs.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 4: Yes, If I were an NFL analyst and I was
Speaker 4: getting ready to do a take on air, I'd always
Speaker 4: lean towards you got to win the turnover me you
Speaker 4: got to because you're rarely wrong with that.
Speaker 2: Yes, most most times, when you win the turnover battle,
Speaker 2: you do win games. I'm going to guess, by the way,
Speaker 2: there was something that happened after the Eagles win and
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni is at the press conference after the win
Speaker 2: against Washington, and he made sure that everybody heard that
Speaker 2: he was going to come implement Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5: How about our quarterback?
Speaker 6: About you hop out our quarterback?
Speaker 12: Your quarterback, he's a stun he all just I knew
Speaker 12: he was gonna play that way.
Speaker 6: I knew it.
Speaker 5: Don't doubt him.
Speaker 6: All he does is win.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's with Terry Bradshaw after the game. I
Speaker 2: want to make sure everybody knows because there was some
Speaker 2: friction between these two. Then Jalen Hurts goes to the
Speaker 2: press conference and here's the question and then his answer,
Speaker 2: and it stayed with me for the last couple of days.
Speaker 10: I need to get all that praise from coach postgame
Speaker 10: one to stay and what was it like playing for
Speaker 10: coach here on?
Speaker 13: Well, he he's done a great job.
Speaker 9: He's done a great job.
Speaker 6: Yes, he let me on my straight jacket a little
Speaker 6: bit today.
Speaker 2: Okay, if he said he took off the handcuffs, then
Speaker 2: I would I wouldn't even have thought anything but a
Speaker 2: street jacket, correct me if I'm wrong. I've never been
Speaker 2: in a straight jacket. But that's so you don't hurt yourself, right,
Speaker 2: like you can't do anything, but the street jacket is
Speaker 2: so you don't hurt yourself. Now, he's passing a lot less.
Speaker 2: He had one hundred fewer attempts this year, and he
Speaker 2: finally got to showcase, you know what he can do
Speaker 2: more running than passing. But you know, he had a
Speaker 2: really good game, great game. But you know he had
Speaker 2: a great quarterback rating this year, highest of his career.
Speaker 5: But it feels like.
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni wants let everybody know that there's nothing to
Speaker 2: see here, keep moving, And Jalen Hurts made me think
Speaker 2: a little bit more like like he'll.
Speaker 5: Go he's done a great job.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, come on, if you have Sirianni's voice
Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts and your complimenting each other, like if
Speaker 2: I said, hey, how about my wife, she's awesome and
Speaker 2: Gig is the best, and then you say to my wife, hey,
Speaker 2: what would you think of what Dan said?
Speaker 5: He's done a good job.
Speaker 12: Yes, Marvin, you took the words out of my mouth,
Speaker 12: because that was the part that got me more than
Speaker 12: anything where he was like, oh, what's it like paying
Speaker 12: for coach here? Yanni?
Speaker 2: And I don't know why it stayed with me, but
Speaker 2: it did. It was and I don't know Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: I think we've had him on the show once or twice,
Speaker 2: but still I don't. It feels like Saquon took all
Speaker 2: of the oxygen here and it's all about him, and
Speaker 2: it's not about Jalen Hurts. It's all about the defense.
Speaker 2: It's all about everybody but him. You know, the coach
Speaker 2: is getting credit. And then we meet, you know, yours truly, Hey,
Speaker 2: let me see him play big in a big game. Well,
Speaker 2: he played big in a big game. And I think
Speaker 2: he's tired of hearing that criticism. And that's why it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he finally took the straight jacket off, Paul.
Speaker 4: It also felt like an odd time to air that
Speaker 4: momentary frustration. This is as good of a days you
Speaker 4: could have. But like you said, it wasn't about him.
Speaker 4: He threw for sixty eight percent this year, Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4: That's up eighteen touchdowns, five picks efficient. All his numbers
Speaker 4: were up except for attempts. I mean, if you go
Speaker 4: back to Troy Aikman. I'll bet you at twenty six
Speaker 4: years old twenty seven, Troy may have been frustrated to
Speaker 4: not be more of the focal point, but look how
Speaker 4: it worked out for him.
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, his attempts were down in large part because
Speaker 2: you know, Jim Harball wanted to have a more run focused,
Speaker 2: concentrated game plan there. But it's winning. I mean that Patrick.
Speaker 2: Look at Patrick Mahomes. I mean that's a prime example
Speaker 2: of somebody who threw fifty touchdowns.
Speaker 5: Now if he.
Speaker 2: Gets to twenty seven thirty, he's probably thrilled because they're
Speaker 2: a defensive minded team, ball control, running the football. They
Speaker 2: don't have those explosive plays, but they're I don't think
Speaker 2: Mahomes is going to go yeah, nice that Andy Reid.
Speaker 2: Let me throw the ball a little bit more here.
Speaker 2: By the way, a member of our audience suggested, if
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win, we can work our way around the
Speaker 2: pat Ronnie three pete and call this the threed Pete,
Speaker 2: as in Andy.
Speaker 5: Reid threed Pete. Okay, what do you think, red Pete? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 5: Fritzy's jealous. Yeah, what do you think? Todd?
Speaker 12: Damn it?
Speaker 5: All right, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2: When we come back a little bit more reaction to
Speaker 2: the commissioner of the NBA with the forty minute game
Speaker 2: ten minute quarters.
Speaker 5: Oh was there?
Speaker 2: A lot of people had a lot of opinions about this.
Speaker 2: Our good buddy Jamal Crawford form an NBA player, We'll
Speaker 2: join us as well back after this.

Speaker 2: We'll talk to Jamal Crawford, former NBA player, former sixth
Speaker 2: Man of the Year, scored fifty points for four different
Speaker 2: teams in his nine years in the NBA. He'll join us.
Speaker 2: We ask him about what the commissioner said yesterday about
Speaker 2: maybe going from forty eight minutes to forty minutes.
Speaker 5: Uh. Tony in Vegas, Hi, Tony, hey.
Speaker 13: Man, Tony from Vegas five eight one eight eight. You
Speaker 13: know the biggest problem with the NBA is that they
Speaker 13: have emphasized the individual over the league. It's time to
Speaker 13: get back to the league being more important than the individual.
Speaker 13: That's why the NFL is so great. Yeah, great players,
Speaker 13: but then no one's better bigger than the shield. They
Speaker 13: need to reorganize and emphasize the visions. I'll love the NFL,
Speaker 13: So how.
Speaker 2: Do you suggest that they don't focus on names but
Speaker 2: teams teams. Yes, but people come to see players, they
Speaker 2: come to the stars, they come to see individuals. It's
Speaker 2: a very individual sport in a team setting.
Speaker 13: I understand that, but I'm saying they're not showing up
Speaker 13: because people are arresting. The way you get people off
Speaker 13: the bench is you reorganize these divisions all of the NFL,
Speaker 13: and then you adopt a point differential system per in
Speaker 13: season games per division. So these crossover games on Sundays,
Speaker 13: they shouldn't be getting more draw than the in division
Speaker 13: game during the week. I feel like the division game
Speaker 13: should be based on the points system. I'll love the EPL.
Speaker 5: Hey let the commissioner act on that.
Speaker 12: Yes, Martin, I disagree with Tony completely because the popularity
Speaker 12: of the NBA in the eighties was based off of
Speaker 12: individuals Bird versus Magic, Right, Obviously it was a part
Speaker 12: of Laker Celtics, but Bird and Magic. Kareem was already
Speaker 12: a big star, but he wasn't drawing ratings like that.
Speaker 12: When Magic and Bird came into the league. You push
Speaker 12: those guys, and then Michael took it to a different stratosphere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we focus on the Pistons being a team,
Speaker 2: probably more so than any of the other dynasties.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 2: You know, the Spurs was about a team. We focused
Speaker 2: kind of on Tim Duncan. But people complained about that.
Speaker 2: I oh, nobody wants to watch the Spurs. All they
Speaker 2: do is win. I mean imagine saying that all they
Speaker 2: do is win. They played great basketball. It's a smart organization.
Speaker 2: You got a Hall of Fame coach, Tim Duncan, David Robinson,
Speaker 2: Tony Parker, Jenobli, but it it didn't create a buzz.
Speaker 2: That's why you need these individuals. That's what people are
Speaker 2: attracted to. They want to come out and see Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2: They're not coming out to see Rudy Gobert. They're coming
Speaker 2: out to see or Dante DiVincenzo. They're coming out to
Speaker 2: see Anthony Edwards. You're coming out to see Lebron Still,
Speaker 2: you're coming out to see Steph. You're coming out to
Speaker 2: see KD. You're coming out to see Wemby.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Out of all of those teams, like, Oklomas, you might
Speaker 2: if you're coming out. You want to see the team,
Speaker 2: I guess, but it's still still about shake gilgess you
Speaker 2: want to see all right, let me see what's you
Speaker 2: know the big hubbub about. Oh yeah, he's unstoppable. Uh well,
Speaker 2: yeah he is. You want to see stars. You know,
Speaker 2: you may go see a movie, but your chances are
Speaker 2: seeing the movie star in that movie. The star is
Speaker 2: going to get you in that movie. The reason why
Speaker 2: Moneyball was successful is because you had Brad Pitt. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a book about a baseball team being cost cutting,
Speaker 2: frugal and bringing in uh what it said? Hatdiberg. Scott
Speaker 2: Hatdiberg Like, Okay, hey, Brad pitts in it.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll watch yeah, pull.
Speaker 4: Like when you pitched that movie idea, we're gonna do
Speaker 4: a movie about the switch to analytics in baseball. There's
Speaker 4: not gonna be a lot of on field action. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be about general managers and analytics people. How do
Speaker 4: you get that movie made? And Brad Pitt calls up, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Draft Day, no football action, but we're gonna talk about
Speaker 4: the NFL draft and trades made leading up to the draft.
Speaker 4: Kevin Costner's in Oh okay, Jennifer Garner.
Speaker 2: And Jennifer Gardner very underrated, very underrated. Todd's a big
Speaker 2: Jessica Alba, I'm more Jennifer Garner really yeah yeah, And
Speaker 2: they're both on the market.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not both. I think I think both.
Speaker 5: I don't know. Jess scalboy, I think separated from her husband.
Speaker 6: And I got my Hall Pass ready to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. At the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's just going to be you and your Hall Pass,
Speaker 2: whatever you do with that.
Speaker 6: Fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jennifer Gardner might be in a relationship. She's not married, checking,
Speaker 2: but I mean, hopefully she's in love because I love love.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying if jess scalbug, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer
Speaker 2: Garner all day, Yes, yes.
Speaker 12: Mark, Jessica Alba was like Lebron She had a twenty
Speaker 12: year prime.
Speaker 5: Ok he.
Speaker 6: Jessica Now, Jessica.
Speaker 2: Alba, I'm looking at love relationship, holding hands.
Speaker 11: Dark Angel, Mulatto commercials. There's a lot of stuff, Oh Todd.
Speaker 2: Todd doesn't have a watch, but damn if he could
Speaker 2: buy a watch, would be that mobile.
Speaker 4: It's borderlining a program, Yes, like, if you're dating Jessica Alba,
Speaker 4: can you ever be comfortable?
Speaker 2: I mean I would try, you know what I mean though?
Speaker 2: Like Jen Jen Garner, We're just gonna have a fun time.
Speaker 2: She's a she'll drink out of a picture, but she
Speaker 2: will be great. She'll have fun. She'll be up to
Speaker 2: be like, Hey, you know, I'm thinking ice fishing. You
Speaker 2: want to go ice fishing? Yeah, I'll go ice fishing. Hey,
Speaker 2: how about you know, let's go snowshoeing. She'd go, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go snowshoeing. I don't know if Jessica Albo is
Speaker 2: going to do that.
Speaker 6: You're doubting my girl.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: I make the smooth segue from Jessica Alba to Jamal Crawford.
Speaker 2: He is the NBA on NBC lead analysts coming up
Speaker 2: this next season and former sixth Man of the Year.
Speaker 2: All right, unless you want to get in on this
Speaker 2: Jen Garner or Jessica Alba discussion.
Speaker 9: This is what I'll walk into.
Speaker 5: Huh, yes, yes you did, Yes you did. Okay.
Speaker 2: Commissioner comes on yesterday, and I don't know if he
Speaker 2: meant for it to be a bombshell, but let it.
Speaker 2: You know, he's thinking about what if we went from
Speaker 2: forty eight to forty minutes in games. They do this
Speaker 2: in Europe, they do this in the Olympics, and I
Speaker 2: think the immediate reaction was what are we doing here?
Speaker 2: And I said, commissioners have to think this way. I
Speaker 2: want your opinion on if the games were forty minutes
Speaker 2: as opposed to forty eight, how would that affect you.
Speaker 9: I think players the number one thing the matter, players
Speaker 9: of all status, as minutes they want to be out there.
Speaker 9: So I'm not sure forty minutes will go over will
Speaker 9: because they'll probably play a little bit less they do
Speaker 9: and if they get less numbers, they probably get less stats,
Speaker 9: and I'm not sure that will go overwhell. So I'm
Speaker 9: not sure exactly. You know what the benefit is if
Speaker 9: we're trying to save time on their bodies, and we
Speaker 9: can do that in practice, we can load manage there,
Speaker 9: but I'm not sure what the benefit is. I'm sure
Speaker 9: he's always from.
Speaker 2: But there's going to be the same number of games,
Speaker 2: they'll just be fewer minutes, so maybe there's not load management.
Speaker 2: And I think the commissioner said if you take eight
Speaker 2: minutes off a game, that's going to add up to
Speaker 2: fifteen games of minutes, so there's wear and tear on
Speaker 2: your body. If you're still getting paid for playing eighty
Speaker 2: two games, then I get the stats that those would
Speaker 2: have to be modified if there's incentives in your contract
Speaker 2: that you have to reach certain numbers. But I can
Speaker 2: see positives with it, not as many negatives.
Speaker 9: It's some positives for sure. Like you said, it's the
Speaker 9: Olympics experience. It's just guys are gonna have to not
Speaker 9: play harder because a lot of them do play hard,
Speaker 9: but they're gonna have to maximize those minutes because, like
Speaker 9: I said, that's the number one thing bad in the stats,
Speaker 9: because that's likely or not. They kind of lead to
Speaker 9: whatever else comes with contracts, et cetera, et cetera. Not
Speaker 9: for the superstars but for other guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Jamal, we want more minutes. We want you
Speaker 2: guys playing in more games, Like that's what the fan wants.
Speaker 2: They don't want load. Yeah, So I think if you
Speaker 2: can ensure that, you know, fans don't know who's playing
Speaker 2: when they go to games now, and it'll be like
Speaker 2: Lakers versus Golden State. They can't say it's Steph against
Speaker 2: Lebron because they're not sure if somebody's going to be playing.
Speaker 9: And the worst part about that, Dan is that kid
Speaker 9: who got tickets for Christmas three months later, right and
Speaker 9: his favorite player or favorite two players aren't playing. It's
Speaker 9: like his Christmas is ruined three months later, right, Like
Speaker 9: he's really like, man, I didn't see this person. And
Speaker 9: that's part.
Speaker 2: That really stops, all right, So the three point shot, everybody,
Speaker 2: it feels like there's too many of them. Do you
Speaker 2: change anything? I'm gonna make you, commissioner, what do you
Speaker 2: do with the three point shot?
Speaker 9: What if you had a limit of three point shot
Speaker 9: you could shoot the game for per team, then you
Speaker 9: wouldn't just have any and everybody shooting them. I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: It's the three point shots. It's the problem. It's the
Speaker 9: problem that we're letting anybody.
Speaker 5: Shoot in the stricture. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: Like when we came up, it was obviously Reggie and
Speaker 9: Ray and they were gonna shoot more threes because they
Speaker 9: were the best three point shooters. But and Steph should
Speaker 9: shoot however many you can get up. But that's not
Speaker 9: for everybody. And the funny thing about that, Dan is
Speaker 9: when it's the most important time the playoffs, they're like,
Speaker 9: just move a scoreboard, mid range, take whatever you can get, layup,
Speaker 9: move that scoreboard because the time that's most important. Every
Speaker 9: point matters. So I think it's gotten to a point
Speaker 9: where we want to see a three point shot. We
Speaker 9: just want to see it by the right people. We
Speaker 9: don't need everybody shooting three.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I brought this an up a month ago.
Speaker 2: I said, what if you capped did twenty five threes
Speaker 2: per team per night?
Speaker 9: What do I think every matter? Right? I even thought,
Speaker 9: I'm like, what if we took the three point line
Speaker 9: out where it's like, okay, we're just playing tunes and
Speaker 9: they're like, oh, we gotta really scheme, we gotta we
Speaker 9: gotta value each possession. Obviously you can't do that, and
Speaker 9: we love the three point shot, it's the home running baseball.
Speaker 9: But if you can cap them, I think that could
Speaker 9: be a start.
Speaker 2: Do you believe in the Cavaliers or the Thunder? If
Speaker 2: I said you had to pick one or the other
Speaker 2: to make it to the finals, I would pick the Thunder, okay.
Speaker 9: And the reason being is they have a bona fide.
Speaker 9: I love the Cavaliers young team. I love Donovan Mitchell
Speaker 9: Darius Carland Mobley, but SGA and I believe that the
Speaker 9: Thunder have a star on the sideline as well. I
Speaker 9: think coach Dagnall was unbelievable last year come in to
Speaker 9: the playoffs. We talked to so many different coaches and
Speaker 9: he was one of the ones who stood out with
Speaker 9: how how his mind works, what he's thinking. He has
Speaker 9: total command of the game. They're they're lock and key.
Speaker 9: They're almost like a college team playing in the pros
Speaker 9: without together they are how yeah, how how they move together?
Speaker 9: Look at all their interviews. I know some people talk
Speaker 9: about them, but every time there's seven or eight guys
Speaker 9: there and they run in a pack.
Speaker 2: They're young, they're all under twenty five. I mean, they
Speaker 2: are kind of a college team.
Speaker 9: They are with so many more picks coming in the future,
Speaker 9: right like they're loaded. They always do a great job
Speaker 9: of development. I would pick the Thunder because SGA is
Speaker 9: the MVP type like player.
Speaker 2: How would you what would you do to help the
Speaker 2: development of when Benyama?
Speaker 9: It's a great question. I would say for him, there's
Speaker 9: certain things he just has to go through, but I
Speaker 9: want him to One thing I would say is I
Speaker 9: probably would get him closer to the basket, gets to
Speaker 9: the free throw line. I think for every three he tanks,
Speaker 9: if he you know, bounce that out will getting one
Speaker 9: free throw. So if he shoots ten threes, get ten
Speaker 9: free throws, and I think that will always keep his scoring,
Speaker 9: you know balance, It'll always be bounced even if he
Speaker 9: shoots three for ten or three for you know, eleven
Speaker 9: from the three point line, if he has those eleven
Speaker 9: free throws to counteract that, I think he'll always have
Speaker 9: that sustainability. But he he's a joy like, he is
Speaker 9: such a treat He's we see the unicorn talent, but
Speaker 9: the everyday working with role player qualities is what's going
Speaker 9: to really shoot him off the charge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if like Daron Fox, I think would
Speaker 2: be really benefical. Like he needs a true, really good
Speaker 2: point guard. Chris Paul is not going to do it.
Speaker 2: Uh Castle is developing, but maybe Diaron Fox to the Spurs.
Speaker 9: I like the fact that if that's true that Dean
Speaker 9: Fox wants to come because he's gonna get players that
Speaker 9: want to come play with him, right, and he's that
Speaker 9: type of unselfished superstar. Obviously the Spurs the gold standard,
Speaker 9: but he's a transcending type player and getting a player
Speaker 9: like deeron Fox is closer in age a little bit
Speaker 9: to go with that group. After you know, this run
Speaker 9: I think would be good. What would you tell him.
Speaker 2: DP, Well, I thought he was lost in his rookie
Speaker 2: year because he was just out of place on the
Speaker 2: court offensively. He just didn't put himself in position. He
Speaker 2: was getting bodied a little bit. He needs to establish
Speaker 2: these are my comfort areas, get to those spots or
Speaker 2: getting the ball in those spots. I'm okay with them
Speaker 2: shooting threes because I like his shot, and I think
Speaker 2: he's taking nine threes this year.
Speaker 5: He was five last year.
Speaker 2: But I like that versatility of you think I'm going
Speaker 2: to be on the perimeter, I'm going inside. I think
Speaker 2: I'd develop a little jump hook there. I would get that.
Speaker 2: I'd almost study Kevin McHale and just look at all
Speaker 2: the ways that he would score. That makes it you're
Speaker 2: even more valuable when you go to the perimeter or
Speaker 2: vice versa. Now you've got to pick your poison with him.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be the best player in
Speaker 2: the game in three years. I think he'll be an
Speaker 2: MVP in three years. I think that much of him.
Speaker 2: I just think that he sort of was lost a
Speaker 2: little bit on the floor last year.
Speaker 9: It's amazing because I think, I agree with you, the
Speaker 9: best player, but he's checking every box. Like I guarantee
Speaker 9: you what you're saying will be part of his his
Speaker 9: palate going forward. Like he's always trying to get better,
Speaker 9: He's always trying to learn, and he hasn't even to me,
Speaker 9: hasn't even got his NBA meanness yet, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean, Like he hasn't even got to like I'm here.
Speaker 9: This is all just off the national talent and having
Speaker 9: those guys there. When he gets his meanness, you know,
Speaker 9: twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, when he's, like I
Speaker 9: know him, the best player period, It's going to really
Speaker 9: be scary then because he will be on his way
Speaker 9: to being one of the greatest evers.
Speaker 2: How often would you notice who's in the stands when
Speaker 2: you were playing in Los Angeles or New York, anybody famous?
Speaker 9: It was funny when when I noticed it, but when
Speaker 9: the really famous people that I loved were there, I
Speaker 9: wouldn't make eye contact until I got rolled because I'd
Speaker 9: be so nervous that they were there. So I'll make
Speaker 9: sure I had ten points first. The first ten for
Speaker 9: me in the NBA were the hardest to get the
Speaker 9: next ten reasons, but the first in in DP were
Speaker 9: so hard, so I didn't make guy contact until I
Speaker 9: hit my double figure book.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Jessica Albo's there and you're not. We're gonna
Speaker 2: look at her for your first ten points.
Speaker 9: I'm not looking at out. No, I'm not looking at album.
Speaker 9: I'm not looking at album. I'm not looking at jay Z.
Speaker 9: I'm not looking at Sandler. None of these guys I
Speaker 9: really admire.
Speaker 2: Now, did you ever look at Beyond? Like you're not
Speaker 2: allowed to look at Beyonce if jay Z's there, well,
Speaker 2: jay Z.
Speaker 9: And our friends and so No, no, I'm definitely not
Speaker 9: looking at Beyonce for sure.
Speaker 5: Oh well you put Beyonce was there? Yeah? Yeah, I go,
Speaker 5: I go introduce myself.
Speaker 9: All right. Well, you have any movies by the way,
Speaker 9: so you're a star there. Yeah, I ask you that.
Speaker 9: What were your two favorite movies you appeared in?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 2: The Longest Yard was pretty good. I arrest saidlor at
Speaker 2: the beginning, I'm a police officer, and then uh, just
Speaker 2: go with it. I'm a nightclub owner in Hawaii with
Speaker 2: Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on stage with me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you ever.
Speaker 9: Hooped with Sailor?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 9: I have. What's his getting lay?
Speaker 5: He carries the ball?
Speaker 9: Oh don't I don't get a carry thing? They said
Speaker 9: out care for twenty years.
Speaker 2: Don't I have a problem with it. Though he carries
Speaker 2: it constantly. He's got an ugly shot. It does go in,
Speaker 2: he does. He's a good passer, and he's kind of
Speaker 2: a physical. He's like a Baron Davis built guy, like
Speaker 2: he's going to bang around a little bit in there,
Speaker 2: and what's your game?
Speaker 5: Just don't leave me open.
Speaker 9: Oh, the guy who doesn't want the three point shots
Speaker 9: are is saying, don't leave me open for the shot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it's too easy. They you know
Speaker 2: the three is easy. That's why I'd like to get
Speaker 2: rid of it. Kind of a Paysia Stoyakovic. You shoot
Speaker 2: that quick, I shoot with the same results.
Speaker 9: Well, if Sandler can get a wrong, can I get joined?
Speaker 9: Can I get by stand next to the dodge?
Speaker 5: Oh, Sandler would love to play hoops with you.
Speaker 9: In you too, You got to be there too.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just you know, I got to
Speaker 2: the point where I got tired of scoring. Jamal God,
Speaker 2: you know that, you know that feeling like I like
Speaker 2: to go. I like to go to the carnival where
Speaker 2: the baskets are smaller, just so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta shoot. Yeah. I'm kind of a Mark
Speaker 5: Price kind of guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going off.
Speaker 2: The dribble quick maybe, uh Dale illis kind of guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 9: See.
Speaker 5: Hey, congrats on the NBC gig. Very happy for you.
Speaker 9: For me, I know obviously you know the landscape. Any
Speaker 9: advice from me, there, no, you just it.
Speaker 2: Just have fun with it. I mean, that's all it is.
Speaker 2: You're you're you're seeing the sport, you're calling the sport.
Speaker 2: You're giving people things that they may give them something
Speaker 2: that they don't see. A lot of times on TV,
Speaker 2: we tell you what you're seeing, tell me what I'm
Speaker 2: not seen, show me little things. And I think that's
Speaker 2: really important is TV. We get to see it. There's
Speaker 2: something that was in that shot, in that move in
Speaker 2: that play that I didn't see. And that's where you
Speaker 2: can tell me something.
Speaker 9: Just my wheelhouse. I like it. Thank you.
Speaker 2: That is Jamal Crawford, NBA on NBC Lead Game Analyst,
Speaker 2: former sixth Man of the Year. Wow, This show flew
Speaker 2: by Last Call for phone Calls? What we learn? What's
Speaker 2: in store tomorrow?
Speaker 1: After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5: Last Call for phone Calls? What we learned?
Speaker 2: What's in store tomorrow? There's another Mission Impossible out. I
Speaker 2: think this is the seventh or eighth one for tom Cruise.
Speaker 2: Can we rename it almost impossible? Kind of impossible? Nearly impossible,
Speaker 2: nearly impossible? Can we can we stop with this Mission impossible?
Speaker 2: Because it's not impossible? He does it every single time. Yes,
Speaker 2: Mission likely.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be okay, Like I've seen most of them.
Speaker 4: And when he's hanging on the back of the jet,
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, I think he's gonna make
Speaker 4: it through this scene.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Or he's on the motorcycle going off the cliff, he's
Speaker 2: gonna make it.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 11: Do we want him to continue choosing to accept these missions?
Speaker 11: When'd we get to a point we're like, you know what,
Speaker 11: I think I've seen enough Mission impossible?
Speaker 6: So we not get enough of that?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to guess the bottom line is how
Speaker 2: much money he's making, so that usually means you'll continue
Speaker 2: to do it. Like Equalizer with Denzel, I hope he
Speaker 2: continues to do it. I mean it's kind of an
Speaker 2: older guy John Wick who's not in his good shape.
Speaker 2: I like that Denzel can do a movie in another
Speaker 2: country and he doesn't have to be in shape. They
Speaker 2: have him wear black clothes, so he's always looking. You know,
Speaker 2: he looks thinner than what he really is. And he's Denzel.
Speaker 2: He needs his watch that he clicks ten seconds and
Speaker 2: that's about it. Hey, I'm going to go to Italy
Speaker 2: and shoot a movie and eat as much as I want,
Speaker 2: and I wear baggy clothes and I'll kill people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, Dylan, I was gonna say the synopsis for
Speaker 3: Equalizer three is Denzel Washington drinks tea and takes out
Speaker 3: the Italian mafia, Gyams.
Speaker 2: Tholf pretty much pretty much, and I'm sure they'll be
Speaker 2: an Equalizer four. By the way, Caitlin Clark was in
Speaker 2: the news she is not going to be in the
Speaker 2: three point shooting contest for the NBA All Star Game,
Speaker 2: and I agree. The WNBA All Star Game is going
Speaker 2: to be in Indiana this year. So if I'm Caitlin Clark,
Speaker 2: I say to Steph Curry, why don't you come to
Speaker 2: the WNBA. I don't need to go over there with
Speaker 2: you guys. If Sabrina wants to do it and somebody
Speaker 2: else is great, But this is my home court. It's
Speaker 2: the WNBA, and if you could get Steph Curry to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 5: That would be awesome.
Speaker 2: Maybe Larry Bird is in Indiana and maybe Larry would
Speaker 2: stop over the game, but that's when you do a
Speaker 2: home and home. If I'm Caitlin Clark and I'm glad
Speaker 2: she's turning down things because she could easily have ten
Speaker 2: commercials on she could be the female Peyton Manning or
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. But I think, do less. Make sure you're
Speaker 2: ready for this season. Like she was at the second
Speaker 2: half of the season and she said the right things
Speaker 2: with the Olympic team. She wasn't worthy of being on
Speaker 2: the Olympic team, and then people wanted to use her
Speaker 2: as a promotional tool and she said, no, I want
Speaker 2: to earn it. I'll be there in Los Angeles. So
Speaker 2: I think that she's getting good advice and I agree.
Speaker 2: Have Steph Curry come to the WNBA All Star Game
Speaker 2: in a three point shooting contest.
Speaker 5: That would be fun.
Speaker 2: I think that that would be a smart business decision
Speaker 2: for the WNBA.
Speaker 5: All righty, Dylan. Final results of the poll quest, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Dan, it was what subject should they stop doing
Speaker 3: documentaries on?
Speaker 5: OJ? Simpson?
Speaker 3: Airing away with it? At forty six percent, Paulie, this
Speaker 3: day in sports history.
Speaker 5: Just win.
Speaker 4: But this shows what a big star this gentleman was
Speaker 4: at his peak.
Speaker 6: No offense.
Speaker 4: In two thousand, the New York Mets announced that Garth
Speaker 4: Brooks would begin training with the team in February spring training.
Speaker 5: Wasn't he a third baseman? Ain't a nice glove?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see, Todd.
Speaker 5: Would you learn today?
Speaker 11: Milget's head coach Mike Malone says the notion of ten
Speaker 11: minute quarters or a four point line would be like
Speaker 11: Barnum and Bailey, we don't want the.
Speaker 3: Circle, Dylan, would you learn you gotta have an enforcer
Speaker 3: at your wedding?
Speaker 5: Marvin Warren Moon had to pretties balls, paul.
Speaker 2: I can't top the hottest Rookie's, biggest superstars all time.
Speaker 2: Great's the only place to collect them all? Panini Trading Cards,
Speaker 2: The official trading cards of the program. Start a continue
Speaker 2: collection now Paniniamerica dot net. Oh, the great comedian Jim
Speaker 2: Gaffigan on the program tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Hope you'll join onus
