<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting from the Mercedes Men, It's is Dan Patrite, Welcome

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to the program. It's hour two on this Wednesday Dan

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and The Danis Dan Patrick Show. I spent the entire

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>first hour talking way too much about the Astros. We

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>even spend some time talking about the Orioles. And I

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>forgot to tell you or made time for my dream list.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I woke up from this dream last night. I had

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a dream that I was with pat Riley and I

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>asked him the question what was better basketball in his opinion?

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>The Showtime Lakers in the eighties, his Knicks in the nineties,

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>or the Miami Heat now like, what is considered better basketball?

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And I was just curious what he would say because

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he was part of, you know, the explosion of fast

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>breaking fun time Showtime with Magic and Company. To then

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it was Greco Roman wrestling, where the Cabs in the

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>New York Knicks were threatening to ruin basketball with the

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>way they played. To now you have Miami Heat and

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>their style, and maybe it's not the Miami Heat, but

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>just basketball in general now because I think at some

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>point somebody is going to go be counterintuitive to everybody

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>shooting threes. The Rockets are going small ball. Now, the

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Rockets are going to have a problem when they go

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 1>up against the team that's got a rim protector. Now

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>they want Last night they beat Boston, they had Harden

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and Westbrook they combined for seventy eight. This doesn't mean

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>anything to me. Now they're exploring this now to workshop

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>this to get to the postseason. Because everything that has

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to do with the Rockets and James Harden is what

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>about the postseason? You're going to get a matchup that's

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>not going to be favorable to you. And I do

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>think you're going to have teams that go, you know what,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>let's go big. Because the Clippers don't have a rim protector,

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and that was obvious last night playing against the seventy

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>six ers Joe lmb, Ben Simmons. They were able to

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>do what they wanted. And the Clippers is going to

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>run into this, certainly with the Lakers Lebron and Anthony Davis,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that is going to be a big issue. Dwight Howard,

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that will be an issue, big issue, no pun intended,

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>But some of these teams, if we looked at what

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a typical big man was fifteen or twenty years ago,

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you'd have a lot of guys with their back backs

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to the basket. Now you have the bigs who can

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>run and they can shoot threes, but your still think

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a room. Like James Wiseman, the Memphis kid who

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>eventually he got suspended and then eventually said I'm going

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to prepare for the NBA. He might be the number

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>one overall pick. I don't know if he can play

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in today's NBA game. The style that you want your

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>big man. Unless you're gonna say, let's say your Golden

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>State and you end up with James Wiseman, what do

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you do with him? You still have to have a

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>rim protector in my opinion, you know, That's what I

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>was looking at with Clint Capella, because I thought the

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Rockets you'd still use Clint Capella because he helped on defense.

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And how many times you see Harden or Westbrook go

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to the hoop and just throw it up Ali hoop

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to him. But somebody, at some point, It's the same

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I said about running the football. Somebody's eventually gonna go,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>this isn't all wide open football. Here Derrick Henry and

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the Titans proved it's not all wide open football. Not

0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody has that Derrick Henry there, the Ravens, you know,

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it may have felt wide open, but that was a

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>running team, runs first past second ingram Lamar Jackson. So

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>if I can't out Mahomes Mahomes, it's just like trying

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to beat Golden State at their own game. You can't

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>do that. When everybody was healthy. You couldn't beat them

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>at what they were doing. That's where you have to be.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>You have to be different. The Rockets, I given credit.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to be different because they can't be sizewise

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>competing with the Lakers, and if Golden State was still

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Golden State, they wouldn't be able to compete with them.

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>They're doing something different, and I applaud them for that.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Take a chance, because you've got a coach whose job

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is riding on this, and James Harden's reputation rides on

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>this as well, because he might be one of the

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>fascinating great scores of all time and nothing to show for.

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think that this is a nice chemistry project

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.679
<v Speaker 1>here that you have down in your lab. Yeah, poet,

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>And what you're saying about the three pointer and the

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>big man not having a role a couple of years ago,

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just two years ago. Twenty eighteen drafts DeAndre eight

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and out of Arizona, great, really good big man. He's

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty one years old, he's everaging nineteen and twelve. He's

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>right on course to be a dominant big men in

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>our league. He does not shoot threes whatsoever. If you

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>redrafted that draft DeAndre Ayton he went first, Marvin Begley second,

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Luca don Chick and Trey Young. Don Chick and Young

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>would go one two, right, Yeah, completely, without no doubt

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>over DeAndre Ayton, who is a very good center. Yea.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>And in the older days, you know, fifteen years ago,

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre eight and you'd be like salivating that you got

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a guy that was that big, that talented, could run

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the floor. Now it's just different. And that's where I

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>had this dream about pat Riley and I thought, man,

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that show Time Lakers. Everybody ran back then, because even

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>when they faced the Celtics, like Bird McHale, they all ran, Parish,

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>they all ran. But you weren't shooting threes. If you

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>were shooting threes, you wouldn't have that ton of Showtime Lakers.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>It just would be a different game there. What if

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>we said for one year the NBA was getting rid

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of the three point shot? Would basketball be better or worse?

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Which team would be favored to win without a three

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>point shot? Right now? If you just looked at the

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>rosters and you can't have three point shooting? Is it

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>mclovin's Milwaukee Bucks? Oh? I, it's tough to keep track

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of your team. The Bucks love the three. They they

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>shoot a time. The Sixers can't shoot it well, and

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing they can't do. Wouldn't that be

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons would be the happiest guy in the league. Yeah, Um,

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd be curious about that. Now, basketball wouldn't be better

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion because I love when you see scoring.

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I hate when you had you know, hand checking there

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>was really really physical. Basketball is not meant to be

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.119
<v Speaker 1>played that way. It was like when hockey went into

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the shell game, like the Devils nearly ruined hockey with

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>They'd get up one goal and then they'd go into

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>their defensive shell and it just wasn't a fun If

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to see great at leats, you want to

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>see him play, and you know, I look at these

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>teams now and the movement that they have. But I

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder if we get to the point where do we

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>change the court dimensions? Do you widen the court at

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>some point because you have guys who have so much

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>range and you have big guys who have range. Does

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>basketball change the height of the rim first? Or the

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>dimensions of the court, because I wonder if you if

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>you widen that by five feet on both the width

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of it, I wonder about that. You want the fluidity

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Do you want flow in there? And movement?

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I love. It's not a two man

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 1>game the way it used to be. It's like inside out.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a throat in and all right, I may kick

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it back out if not, I'll back down, back down,

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>back down, And then you know that's not exciting basketball.

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I like when there's movement. I like when great shooters

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>are rewarded, and you know, you get guys who can

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>play some defense when they need to. Because that's all

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff is just window a dressing. All of

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>this regular season stuff doesn't mean anything to me. The

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>only team it means something too is the Rockets because

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>they're trying something revolutionary. All it is is you get

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to the postseason, and how do you match up against

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that team? How do you match up half court offense,

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>how do you match up depth, size, coaching your star

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>player there star place. I mean, that's what it comes

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>down to. Then the chest match missus checkers. It doesn't matter, man,

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it does in the bigger picture, it doesn't seating. Okay,

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>if Milwaukee's two instead of one, does it really matter?

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Probably not. If the Lakers are two instead of one,

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>does it really matter? Probably not. But you know, seeing

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in the NBA, and I just thought of

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>pat Riley, and I was wondering, what would he say

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>was great basketball? He didn't answer me. In the dream,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way, look great, he looked great. But I'm

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>going to guess that he would talk about the Showtime

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Lakers as great basketball because that team and that was

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>something that was branded that was different than what we

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>had ever seen Showtime Lakers. Because the Showtime Lakers could

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>still be the Showtime Lakers, they would they would take

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>more shots, they'd take more threes. Like, you can't look

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>at what was happening in the nineties. You know that

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to happen. It just was aesthetically wasn't pleasing.

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Today's NBA, it feels like it's two, you know, three

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>point driven. They've scored a lot of points, but that

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean you have great shooters out there. Yeah, mclove,

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the offensive I don't like the foul

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>calls the game. The way they call Harden has really

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>made the game ugly. And he's setting the record for

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>most free throws that year. Yeah, but you can go

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>back to when burd and Jordan played. That was nothing

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>like the Pardons twice. But he but because he shoots

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>more than anybody, he has the ball more than anybody.

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But Trey Young's trying to do the same thing. He's

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to get fifteen game too. They just call the

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>tick that calls outside I know. I mean, they're taking

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>advantage of the rules. There were games that I would

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>go to and and all of a sudden, you'd go

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>somebody like Jordan would go through the lane and you

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>just hear a whistle and you knew somebody was going

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to get called for it. And they that didn't mean

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that they fouled Jordan. It was just gonna call whistle bird.

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Now I got somebody fouled him. So we had, you know,

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>those phantom whistles back then. But nowadays, these guys understand

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I can create contact with you, and that's what Harden

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>does better than anybody. I create that contact in the

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>shooting motion and I'm going to shoot free throws. I

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>don't like it, but he's taken advantage of the rules.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeahple James Harden is averaging twelve free throw attempts per game.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan, age twenty three, when he average thirty seven

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>points per game, average twelve free throw attempts per game

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>most of his career. Jordan got a lot of phantom

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>calls there too, which I never understood. Why do we

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>give the great players even more latitude? When it comes

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to think they've fouled you. I've always think it's the

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>guy who isn't very good who needs a little bit

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of help. There all right? Eight seven seven three d

<v Speaker 1>P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Twitter handed with DP show. Say good morning to our

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>radio and TV partners. Spend some time first hour were

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about the astros. The owner wants to have a

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>meeting with everybody. They want to have a scandal strategy

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>here do you just not say anything? I would just

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>say it once. I would throw myself on the mercy

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of the court of public opinion. And you take the

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>questions and then you just say we've answered those questions.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Because this if you don't answer it now, it's going

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to continue the entire season. If you can make it

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a one day story, make it a one day story,

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Lakers Nuggets coming up tonight. If you cover the NFL,

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a fine line between free agency analysis and free

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>agency which we're thinking and this spring could be a

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>lot more fun. If Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Dak

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Prescott we're all maybe you thinking about playing for another team,

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and it could happen. But there's a great chance that

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>free agency will be a dut Maybe Tom Brady stays

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>with the Patriots, Drew Brees stays with the Saints, and

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys have some clarity here and realized that Dak

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Prescott is their quarterback. You know, maybe the Patriots and

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Brady want to explore life without one another, but there's

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>also the logic of keeping that same team together. And

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 1>I feel that with the Saints and Drew Brees. Really

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>that's just about Drew Brees. Does he want to play

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>another year? The Cowboys with Dak Prescott fascinates me. And

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I know that this is media driven, because this is

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>wishful thinking on the media. Oh my god. You and

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Michael Irvin put this out where he said that he

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>had been told not play somebody with the Cowboys, that hey,

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys will be interested in Tom Brady. I think

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. Michael may have gotten that from somebody. And

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Jerry loves, you know, shiny objects. Aaron would love to

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>have Tom Brady in a Cowboy uniform. This is a

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.599
<v Speaker 1>forty three year old Tom Brady. I got Dak Prescott.

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott, Tom Brady is not Tom Brady. I know

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to hear that, but that is the reality

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 1>of this. Tom Brady didn't play well in the Super

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Bowl they won that. He did not play well in

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the postseason, didn't play well in the last part of

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the regular season. I know we can talk about he

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't have weapons there. He didn't play well. He's not

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the same. Brett Farve came out and said he seems

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>like the same Tom Brady, which is crazy for Brett

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to say that. This isn't Brady who was the MVP.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>This isn't Brady who wanted you know, went to the

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl and through for five hundred yards in that

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>loss of ego. He's just not the same player. It's

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>finally caught up to him. For everybody that feels like,

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>oh God, Cowboys only had Tom Brady, I will give

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you this. If Tom Brady was with the Niner, then

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe we could have that conversation. They would have won

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. Okay for one game, and we're really

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about three or four passes there, because Garoppolo could

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>have won that Super Bowl. And by the way, here's

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>another thing. You know who gets blamed Jimmy g and

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Shanahan, their defensive coordinator, Robert Salah. Why didn't he

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>get blamed. You gave up three touchdowns in seven minutes. Meanwhile,

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it's all on Jimmy g and Kyle Shanahan. But I

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>think the Cowboys, I don't think that that's a real story.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's media driven there, and maybe maybe because

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't rule out Jerry Jones in a situation like this,

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think that there's any I think they're

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to create leverage, leverage with Dak Prescott. I would

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>franchise Dak Prescott, and then I would I would decide

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is he our quarterback? Because I'm not paying him for

0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars, But what are your other options here?

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You either sign him to a long term deal, which

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they are. It feels like that I would

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>sign him to a one year deal, and then I

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>might explore trade talks and then maybe you bring in

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody who can be your quarterbacks for the next year

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>or two years. If you're not sold on Dak Prescott

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>at that price tag, then I would start looking for

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>plan B. And Plan B would not be Tom Brady.

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Chargers need Tom Brady. Dallas does not need Tom Brady.

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely not. Yeah, club, let me throw us a plan

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>B to you. How about Cam Newton. I don't know

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>his health because now his owners said David Tepper, Hey,

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how healthy is. There's a lot of

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>guys that are going to get cut. A lot of

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks are probably Andy Dalton's probably gonna get cut, right,

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I would think Cam Newton probably gonna get cut. Although

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Cam at nineteen million dollars, if he's anywhere near healthy, Hell, yes, absolutely,

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I bring him in for a one year like a Bridgewater.

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Teddy Bridgewater is a better decision than Tom Brady.

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>That's hot. It just is right. I don't know if

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Jerry things like that, because like, no, I know that's

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I can't rule out Jerry's thinking that

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.640
<v Speaker 1>really didn't catch on or hot takes you know what.

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I actually that whole weekend that tweeted to me, oh

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>did you oh yeah, yeah a dozen times. So so

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>when I say Taysom Hill is crazy, he's not a

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>franchise quarterback, which Taysom Hill did say. Taysom Hill had

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this to say about how the Saints view him. He's

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the Saints all purpose player. Do I want to leave

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact of the matter is no, I don't. But

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>as you look at free agency, you have to find,

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, the right opportunity for you, if you have

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to find this the situation to take care of your

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>family to you know, I want to play quarterback in

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>this league, and if New Orleans don't view me that way,

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:15.200
<v Speaker 1>well then I have to leave. Okay, I don't want

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>my franchise quarterback at age thirty and he hasn't thrown

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown pass in the NFL. He's a wonderful talent,

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but I think he wants that money, that franchise quarterback money.

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not paying a franchise quarterback money. I'm like,

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can I pay him twenty seven million dollars a year?

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Answers No. I mean it's easier to complete passage than

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>it's ever been in the NFL. But unless, and if

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you say, Drew Brees is retiring and Teddy Bridgewater is

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>going to leave, then you take Tastom Hill. And I'm

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 1>sure Sean Payton would love that. But if Drew Brees

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>is going to retire, I keep Teddy Bridgewater before I

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 1>do tast Him Hill. We loved Taysom Hill because of

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the possibility there. Oh my god, look at he does everything.

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>He's the Army nine, the Swiss Army knighte. He can

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>do it all. Okay? Can he pass? Like that's what

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that would help at that position? All right? Yeah, it's

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>just small thing, like I nitpicked, but I just want

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to know, can you hey, can you pass? Yeah? Taysom

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Hill was an undrafted free agent who New Orleans gave

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>a chance to play a bunch of positions, and they

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of made him into this all purpose weapon. I

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much bargaining power he has on a

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>free agent market at the position of quarterback because he

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't throw passes for a living and hasn't since. I

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 1>can't take it. I can't take a risk on that.

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Saints are so close to the super Bowl.

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Who gets you closer to the super Bowl? To me,

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Teddy Bridgewater. If Drew doesn't come back, it's Teddy Ridgewater.

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys need to resign Dak Prescott if you don't

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 1>think he's long term. I would look at what you

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>could get for Dak Prescott. Let's say you signing for

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a one year deal. You franchise him, and that's going

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to cost you what mclovinan I think, yes, hell, yes,

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I do that right now. One year might be a

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>little higher. Now, let's say it's twenty seven million, all right,

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a whole lot better than forty million for the

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.479
<v Speaker 1>next five years, and that he's gonna want close to

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars and he's not worth it, but he's

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 1>worth keeping for one more year. The only the way

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to win him. So you look at these teams. It's

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 1>rare when you're winning, when your quarterback takes the max,

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>when you have to spend all that money. And if

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you know you're able to get somebody and get somebody

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>on the cheap, and they're ready to play it right now,

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>then great. But that's that's not the case here. Dak's

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna cost you. I could get two number ones for

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott and probably a third I could get. I

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>could get two first and a third for Dak Prescott.

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I could send him to the Chargers right now. I

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>franchise him. I sent him to the Charges. Why would

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the Charges give two first rounders to pay Dak if

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.720
<v Speaker 1>they could have Tom Brady? Would they? Really? I would

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>rather have Dad. Tom Brady's gonna play one more year

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.680
<v Speaker 1>at the most, probably but the only reason I said,

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you just said you can't pay a quarterback big money

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 1>and win at the biggest level. So the Chargers are

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>immediately gonna be saddled with that big money and have

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 1>no chance. I'm saying that you could probably trade him.

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do it because if I'm the Chargers, then

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I want to try to take a chance on one

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>of these. You know, these rookies. I'm looking at the

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl history and you now that there are nothing

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>but rookie deals and Tom Brady on here. Yeah, and

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Brady took a team discount here. I mean, there's no

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:49.440
<v Speaker 1>secret here. That's how you build a team like Seattle's

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 1>dynasty ended after three years. They had two super Bowl

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>appearances and then it was over because now you have

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 1>to pay Russell Wilson's junior the third and then you

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>lost players love. Yeah, I'm looking these quarterbacks. You had

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes this year, golf last year, wentz year before, even

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 1>though it's Foles. And that's why I wonder about a

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Chief's dynasty that everybody's talking about. Mahomes is going to

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>cost you forty million dollars. Cam Newton the Panthers, Yeah,

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 1>I think he was selling his rookie deal when they

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>got to the degree. You're exactly right. He is the

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 1>commissioner of the XFL and he his son walked away

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>from football. Oliver Luck will join us coming up here

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:10.879
<v Speaker 1>we went with mclovin, if your MLB would you vacate

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the asterroist title? And actually right now said yes, okay,

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 1>but yeah close. I'd like to know if Baseball knew

0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>what we're finding out now, would they have reacted differently

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>because they told the players you got total immunity here

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and players took advantage of that and came forward, squealed

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>on some people, and then some people lost their jobs

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Astros got punished here. But uh, look, baseball

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 1>is to live with this, not me, and these players

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>have to live with this. You want to put an

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>asterist there, whether it's a permanent or you know, indelible. Fine,

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm good with that, all right? Eight seven seven three

<v Speaker 1>the forty fourth overall pick in the nineteen eighty two draft,

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and of course a legend at West Virginia. He is

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the XFL commissioner Oliver Lock, who joins us on the program.

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Commissioner, Van, how are you. I'm doing great.

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.160
<v Speaker 1>If you could pick out one moment of your professional

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 1>playing career, what would it be. My best moment came

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.439
<v Speaker 1>early in my career. Was my first NFL start for

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the Oilers, and we were It was nineteen eighty three,

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he was right after that eighty two strikes shortened year.

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>We played the Detroit Lions led by Eric Hippel and

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Billy Simms, and we broke a relatively long losing Street

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 1>because my first start in first win for the Oilers

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that season, So that sticks out downhill from there. How

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>long did you last in the NFL? I spend five seasons. Okay,

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I probably could have played a six or seventh. I

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 1>was backing up Warren Moon, and I could have played

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.439
<v Speaker 1>a six or a seventh, but I had gone. I

0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>was going to law school in the off season, and

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I realized that my calling was going to be not

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:04.919
<v Speaker 1>on the field, but you know, outside of the field.

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 1>And here you are as the XFL commissioner, I think,

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>by all accounts a successful debut for the league. What

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>is the goal as the commissioner of the XFL for

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>this league? Our goal really is pretty simple. We want

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to stay in the spring, offer high quality, up tempo

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>football in the spring, you know, sort of let folks

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 1>get to know us and understand us, build our own brand,

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 1>build our own sort of standalone sustainable teams, and just

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 1>offer good football. I mean, it's it's not that complicated. Obviously,

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>football's America's most popular sport. But of course the spring

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.479
<v Speaker 1>is the season and traditionally in which there hasn't been

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 1>much live football. So that's really our goal. Relatively straightforward

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>played with football in the spring. How important is a

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:55.719
<v Speaker 1>partnership with the NFL. Well, you know, we don't have

0:26:55.800 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a formal relationship with the NFL, but as you could imagine, well,

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily. I mean, we've got all the respect in

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 1>the world for the NFL, and we've got a million

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>touch points with the NFL, But I'm not sure that

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that that's an endgame for Vince McMahon, our owner, his instructions,

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>his guidance to me is, hey, Oliver, build a sustainable,

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 1>standalone league with our own brands, and you know, we'll

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>respect the NFL. The NFL determines a lot of the

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>sort of things about the ecosystem of professional football, so

0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to live within that ecosystem. But and we

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 1>want to have obviously positive relationships, which we do, but

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure there's that that's part of the endgame necessarily.

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>What about going after college talent like the USFL did,

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we're not subject to the NFL's requirement

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of three years out of high school that's baked in

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.679
<v Speaker 1>the CBA. We're not a party to that. We do

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to go and sign a college freshman

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>or a sophomore. There's only one player right now in

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>our league, a guy named Kenny Robinson who ironically went

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 1>to my him a modern West Virginia. He's got college

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>or had college eligibility remaining. He only played two years

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.679
<v Speaker 1>of college ball and then decided that he wanted to

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>play in our league. And he's basically dan using this season.

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>He's playing for Jonathan Hayes in Saint Louis. He's using

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this season as a personal combine, right instead of going

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to the combine and doing the drills. He has said,

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I need to play, I need to get more tape,

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I need to play ten games or eleven games against

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>good competition. And he's doing very well. A lot of

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 1>scouts anticipate him being a first second round draft choice.

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 1>So we haven't really dipped our toe into that particular pond,

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>but we certainly could in the future. Yeah, that's what

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering. I know Trevor Lawrence is out of your

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>price range, but let's say you had a quarter or

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it's Trevor Lawrence out of your price range. I'm not

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 1>sure I know what his price range. But let's say

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a freshman quarterback played well and doesn't want to you know,

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got to stay for two more years. Can you

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>see that? That would be sort of the gateway that's

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.200
<v Speaker 1>open here where somebody could say, instead of playing in college,

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I can go and make this my own combine, or

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I can go in and get paid by the XFL

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>year or two years earlier. That that's a distinct possibility.

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's about ten thousand Division one college football

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>players and there are lots of you know, challenges that

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 1>those young men are facing. So I could see where

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy plays a year or maybe even you know,

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>two years and says I need to make some money.

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I've got to support a family, or you know, we've

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 1>got to know illness in the family or whatever, or

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, academically, I'm not interested in college. I mean,

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>there's so many different stories. The key thing for us

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 1>is this year we said to ourselves, let's get the best,

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, four hundred and fifty or so players we

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>possibly can. And the typical background of that player is

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>three or four years of college football, two or three

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 1>four years of NFL football. I mean, we got former

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>first round draft choices playing in the XFL. So you know,

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we have to make sure that a younger guy would

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>be physically, emotionally, mentally mature enough to compete. The beauty

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of getting guys that are three or four years you know,

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the NFL, the beauty is they're professionals.

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>They know how to act, they know how to respond.

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 1>They bring a certain professionalism to the job. And that's

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have to make sure a college kid

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>would be, you know, in that same category. He's the

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>commissioner of the XFL. He's Oliver Luck. Fans can download

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>play XFL app and by picking the games currently this

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>week and you do that correctly, you can win up

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to five hundred thousand dollars. It's available in both the

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>App Store and Google Play. I'm officially a LA Wildcat,

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 1>lifelong LA Wildcat fan. Well, I'll tell you my favorite

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>moment this past week, and I was in DC for

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the DC Defenders Seattle Dragons game. Cardial Jones through a

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of nights balls early in the first quarter, you know,

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>in the almost twenty thousand fans, they're broke out in

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>an MVP chan. We laughed about that. It's awesome as

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 1>these guys, these fans sort of create their own little environment,

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:01.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, and obviously we're brand new, and so that's

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that's been a really fun part to watch as the

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>fans begin to fill these brands with energy in their

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>own little stories. Would your son think of the XFL.

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 1>He's been pretty upbeat. He's been a little bit of

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a sounding board for me. As you suspect, he knows

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>virtually all the players in the league, so he's given

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>me some tips about certainly about some of the quarterbacks

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that we went out and signed. You know, he's friendly

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 1>with guys like Landry Jones and Josh Johnson and you know,

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he knows Cardale, but the Philip

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Walker p J. Walker, who's down in Houston Plant very well.

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>He was on the Colt's practice squad for a couple years.

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 1>So he's given me some good advice. Does Andrew Needa

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>John No, he doesn't thank you for asking. He say

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>he's mister mom right now. They he and his wife

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 1>had their first child about three months ago, so he's

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of baby sitting. He disappeared. How surprising

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it I think, I mean, I know he's different, Oliver,

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>but like maybe it doesn't surprise you. I think people

0:31:57.880 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>kept saying, oh, he's got to come back, and I go,

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 1>why would he come back to the sport that put

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>him in this mindset of I'm going to walk away

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 1>from this and there's something else to life then football.

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 1>The media and fans wanted him back. I mean, he

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>had he had the smart assessment in my opinion, but

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>he just disappeared. That's remarkable for an athlete. Yeah. I mean,

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 1>he's one of these millennials that isn't involved with social media,

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, and there's still I guess there's still a

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.719
<v Speaker 1>handful of those guys out there, and you know, as

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a result, it was really very easy for him to,

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, just to get out of the spotlight and

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 1>live his own life. You know, I really admired Dan

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody who's played in the league who leaves on his

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 1>own terms. Right, So watching Luke Keekley for example, right,

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 1>great career and great player, and I just I love

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it when a guy says I'm in control, I'm gonna

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>walk away when I want to walk away. I'm not

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>going to let the game determine when my career is over.

0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Guys like me, we're told when we were done. But

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really admired that because that's that's taking control,

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's also taking control of your post playing future,

0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>which is critical for a lot of guys. And they

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>finally got an offensive line for him. That was my problem.

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I kept railing on the Colts, going, you're going to

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 1>get this guy killed. Then you get a good offensive line,

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a good team, and then all of a sudden, it's

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>really the accumulation. I think of all those years where

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Andrew probably just said, I I don't want to do this.

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>If I can't be great, be healthy, I'm not going

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to do it and walk away. Do you get that? Yeah,

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he did sort of lament to me that, you know,

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the Colts had such a good offense, you know, as

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>he was working through his own issues. Chris Ballard has

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 1>done an excellent job. That That is my you know

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>GM of the Year. And it's a small market and

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you know they ended up kind of losing some gas

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>towards the end of the season this year. But I

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>think the world of Chris Ballad. He's he's one of

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the best. What is the new rule that you think

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the NFL is going to go? I think we like

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that or the you know, the element that the NFL

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>will sample here. So the one I think that that

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 1>makes the most sense. I've no idea what the NFL

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>would do, But the one that makes the most sense,

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>because the underlying rationale is solid, is our kickoff. Right,

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we tried to create a kickoff that

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 1>gives us two things. One more kickoff returns. That's what

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:18.399
<v Speaker 1>fans want to see, right. They don't want to see

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the guy kicking the ball out of the end zone.

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>That's not a great football play. They want to see

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a return. And the second reason is safety, you know,

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>player safety that matters in today's world. So as as

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>we developed our kickoff, you know, that underlying rationale was

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 1>everything for us. All right, let's get more returns and

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 1>we'll get virtually ninety five percent returns, you know, from

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 1>our kickoffs, as opposed to the sort of thirty or

0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty five percent in the NFL, and it's safer. And

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't think anybody can argue with the

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.359
<v Speaker 1>underlying rationale. That's that's really the key. So all these

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 1>rule innovations, we've got about a dozen or so that

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, that are where we differentiate ourselves from the NFL.

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>It's all about the underlying rationale and I think that's

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that's where we started, and that's where I think anybody, Elise,

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:03.399
<v Speaker 1>including you know, the NFL and the Competition Committee would start.

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 1>So who knows what the league will do. I can't

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 1>speak in behalf of the National Football League, but we

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 1>certainly like the innovations, and I think fans more or

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 1>less have said that, hey, these are pretty good. These

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>are smart. Good to talk to you, Oliver, and uh

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.239
<v Speaker 1>my best to the league and what you're doing in

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.319
<v Speaker 1>salo to Andrew for us, we'll do Thank you, Dan,

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:23.879
<v Speaker 1>thank you. That's Oliver Luck, the XFL commissioner, former player,

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 1>father Andrew Luck. I almost asked Paulie to do his

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:33.319
<v Speaker 1>impersonation of Andrew Luck for his dad. Oliver Luck. Old

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 1>man's doing great. These rights. Still got to flip the

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 1>following the defender, so protect our country, DC defenders lightning ball.

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a coefficient of lightning and Jersey. Okay, who whose

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback impression is better? Pauli's Andrew Luck, Fritzie's Patrick Mahomes.

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 1>How that's when you you see how this works. I

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>gotta give it to Polly think really good job. You know.

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 1>It's great about both of them is that they both

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:13.879
<v Speaker 1>have things that neither one of the people actually do.

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Like Andrew Luck pretty much never goes true. He did,

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:28.320
<v Speaker 1>he did the he never goes Yeah, and and Patrick Mahomes,

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't think has ever gone at the end of

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the speaking Andy Reid and then Seaton's Red far do

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I think they's a better of course, course They're impressions

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>are way better than Yeah. I think Paul's Andrew Luck

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>is great. I don't want the chands, can watch the

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 1>XFL USFL and FL. All right, we'll take a break here.

<v Speaker 1>Garrett reinstated. NFL has reinstated. Do we know the full

0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 1>story here? For a story that felt like it was

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>inflammatory Miles Garrett, I guess still stands by a story.

0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And Mason Rudolph used, you know, some racial slurs in there.

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:13.400
<v Speaker 1>NFL investigating this, I don't know, felt like that just

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>sort of floated out there and then float it away.

0:39:17.400 --> 0:39:21.920

<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick dot com. Marco and Arizona is back. Hi, Marco, Hey,

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>good morning, DP, Good morning. Dennett's heard you talking about

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 1>my guy hit Swivel. But you guys countered me with

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a good question, you know, like blowing up the team

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like starting over. Isn't a new coach starting over anyway?

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And wouldn't you rather have, you know, a new quarterback

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and coach because dad's gotta he's gonna have to learn

0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy's ways. Well, I think that McCarthy's going to come

0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 1>in and have to sort of get his style and

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.800
<v Speaker 1>fit it into the Cowboys. That cowboys already got a style.

0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>But I think he'll help Dak Prescott and preparing you

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know whatever he gleaned from Aaron Rodgers there. But I

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 1>would stay with Dak Prescott. Thanks for the phone called Marco.

0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:16.760
<v Speaker 1>You know this whole Tom Brady thing, tom Brady hasn't

0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 1>played at anywhere near Tom Brady level. I don't know

0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.879
<v Speaker 1>what game or take Brett Farves watching, I just didn't

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 1>think Tom Brady was anywhere near great and at times

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 1>just good. Go back to the super Bowl. He had

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:33.319
<v Speaker 1>one big throw in the Super He didn't play well

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Bowl, and they beat the Rams. At

0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year, Look what he did those

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>last couple of series against the Dolphins. He didn't do

0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>anything the Dolphins and you lose it home and then

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the Titans. Like that's just not elite tom Brady level.

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 1>And I can blame it on supporting cast Or. I

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 1>can certainly credit that for you know why he's not

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 1>putting up great numbers. But I just didn't think he'd

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.719
<v Speaker 1>looked great. And I just don't see I think this

0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:06.359
<v Speaker 1>is media driven. You know, he got shows that lad

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 1>with us that Tom Brady and the Cowboys. Cowboys need

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to sign Dak Prescott, either tagg him or give him

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 1>a long term deal that makes the most sense for

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 1>them short term long term. This is different than the

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Patriots deciding to keep Tom Brady and letting Jimmy Garoppolo

0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>go because Brady at that time was still playing good football,

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>won an MVP, won a couple of Super Bowls for you.

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Now you're bringing him in at forty three. You might

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>have him for one more year and then you're unless

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you're sold on somebody else other than Dak Prescott. It's

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback. And if that's the case, then okay, fine,

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But I would keep Dak Prescott. I would tag him

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>for one year because I would hold off as long

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 1>as I can before he's gonna want his forty million

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:55.359
<v Speaker 1>dollars because he's not worth forty million dollars. And if

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I was advising him, I would say to him, we're

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 1>going to give them a little what appears to be

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a discount here because you make

0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:05.400
<v Speaker 1>so much money being the Cowboys quarterback off the field.

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.560
<v Speaker 1>If you go to Carolina, you ain't making this coin.

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>You go to Tampa, you ain't making this coin. You're

0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 1>making it because you're the Cowboys quarterback, plain and simple.

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:21.320
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Pete and Virginia joins us, Hi, Pete, what

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>do you have for me? So I'm probably like a

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of listeners. You know, I hop on min interview

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes you recognize the voice. You know, Barkley's Eez,

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Miller's Eez, and I hop on and I hear Chris

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 1>collins were talking about my DC Defenders, and then you

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>say Oliver Luck, and I'm like, I don't know if

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you have the same feeling. I don't know if you

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.719
<v Speaker 1>call that a voice doppelganger or you know, there's like

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:50.759
<v Speaker 1>a stunt double. He sounded just like Chris collins Worth.

0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if any of you guys picked

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>up on that too, Pete, thanks for the phone call.

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:57.239
<v Speaker 1>You're right on. We we thought that there was a

0:42:57.280 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>little collins Worth in that voice of Oliver Luck. There

0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>sounded like an analyst, sound a little bit like Chris Collinsworth.

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>During the live looking, Paulie said, Hey, I got an

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>XTFL question for you. I believe it's a two part question.

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Were you surprised that Oliver Luck the commissioned the NFL

0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:15.880
<v Speaker 1>When you was asked about partnering with the NFL and

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>going after college underclassman didn't distance himself from going after

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a star college players like the USFL did decades ago.

0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 1>That killed out. Yes. Second part of the question is

0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 1>if you were Trevor Lawrence. Let's say the XFL called

0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence Clemson four weeks ago, called him and his

0:43:32.800 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 1>parents and if he has a representative his end, we'll

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.239
<v Speaker 1>give you ten million dollars to play ten games for

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 1>US this season. Ten million dollars. If you were Trevor Lawrence,

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 1>would you consider that or would you go back to

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Clemson front of it? Not. I wouldn't even spend a second.

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd spend two seconds. Ten million. No, No, he doesn't

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:53.479
<v Speaker 1>know who. He could have a guy who's a truck

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 1>driver blocking for him, a bus driver working at home

0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:00.399
<v Speaker 1>depot or something. The guy's chasing them or also working

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 1>at chippy lubamnthing. Well, those guys might be have incentive

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.719
<v Speaker 1>to go and get Trevor Lawrence and tackle and sack

0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence. Not that the guys upfront don't have incentive

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to block for him. But no, Trevor Lawrence, No, he's

0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be protected at Clemson. He'll eventually make his money.

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 1>He does while he can have the ten million now

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the smart choice would be I'm going to stay at

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Clemson and try to win another national title. Yes. So

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:31.239
<v Speaker 1>the players that are making up these teams, right, are

0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:35.839
<v Speaker 1>all what former practice squad players or players that were

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:39.440
<v Speaker 1>cut from NFL teams. Yeah? Right? So are we saying

0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that the Clemson line now is better than those players? Yes? Right? Yeah?

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Because I mean I mean, like I get the punch line,

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.960
<v Speaker 1>but they're not like guys that they're just picking up

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 1>off the street. They're guys that are trying to still

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 1>play professional ball. Yes, right, yeah, Yes, there was a

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:59.399
<v Speaker 1>big debate along those lines. Could Alice you this year

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 1>beat the XFL teams? Yes, but they said all teams

0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>have older guys. That's why I wonder if there's any

0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 1>advantage there of all them draft Well, you can be older,

0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Are you better like old average guys? Yeah? As I

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 1>mean if you look at that LSU roster, how many

0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:21.360
<v Speaker 1>pros do you have? Tarney and they practice together for years?

0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean Joe Burrow has been with him for two years.

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:27.919
<v Speaker 1>If LSU played the best XFL team, can we ask

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Vegas do they may come up with odds and make

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.040
<v Speaker 1>short notice Vegas? I said no, thanks, They prefer not
