1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. It's 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan's Dan 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Patrick's Show. I'm not sure if Baseball is going to 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: discipline Justin Turner. I know they're looking into this. I 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: reached out to a source last night and I asked 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: that question, ken Baseball discipline Justin Turner or just the Dodgers, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: And my source said they can discipline Turner, but I 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: think the players union would fight it. I'm guessing the 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Dodgers and Turner will both be fined, but he won't 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: be suspended. Perfect ending for a pandemic season. Lol. Baseball 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: is investigating this, but Baseball needs to investigate baseball. Justin 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: Turner had a selfish act where he went out on 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: the field and celebrated, and he took his mask off 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: at one point a couple of times there. But major 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: League Baseball security is not very secure. This isn't on 17 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It starts with major League Baseball. I hope 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: the commissioners investigating major League Baseball because once you take 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: him out of the game, where do you take him? 20 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: And should he have been able to stay at the stadium. 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: Is he sequestered? Should he have been taken back to 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: a hotel room? I didn't know if he was getting 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: his stuff together, he was still in uniform. The season's over, 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: but he said, I am going out there. He was 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: adamant that he was going out there. Baseball security, what 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: could they have done? What did they try to do? 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: We know about Justin Turner. He wanted to be out 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: there with his teammates. I understand why you would want 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: to be out there, but it was a selfish move 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: on his part. Major League Baseball, if you take him 31 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: off the field, are you taking him out of the stadium? 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: And if not, why not? And where do you keep 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: him in the stadium? And do you keep him in 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: the room? What happens when the game ends? Where security go? 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Do they go on the field? Did they go to 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: protect the commissioner? And is Justin Turner just sitting in 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: a room going anybody here? Open the door, it's unlocked. 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out. I'm go out on the field 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: and celebrate. But from what I'm told last night, a 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: source who's involved in this says, I'm guessing the Dodgers 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: and Turner will both be fined, but he won't be suspended. Yes, point, 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: it's such an unprecedented situation because Justin Turners sitting back there, 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: he's been totally the field by MLB, and his team 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: just won. If they lost, he'd probably go back to 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: the hotel and do what he's gonna do. But since 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: they won, the security is probably thinking, well, he's going 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: to just stay back here, and then at some point 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: they can't physically restrain him. I'm guessing they could not 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: physically restrain him besides the fact that he's COVID positive, 50 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the fact that I don't know if they could restrain 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: a major league ball player. I don't know if that's 52 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: in their scope of authority. And he robably just said, hey, 53 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: try to stop me. That's what I want to know. 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: What did Major League Baseball do? Try to do? Not 55 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: able to do that allowed Youstin Turner to go onto 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: the field. Eight seven seven three d P show email 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: ad Er STP at dan Patrick dot com spent a 58 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: little time in the first hour. I gave an update 59 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: on Nebraska football. I told you yesterday at around this 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: time about Wisconsin football that the game against Nebraska was 61 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: in doubt and that Graham Murtz, their starting quarterback. He 62 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: was participating in team activities. I'll give you exactly what 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I said. Wisconsin. Update from my source, Mertz and all 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: likelihood had COVID prior to the game, but tested negative 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: was at all the team activities leading up to the game, 66 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: so it spread throughout the team a significant number of 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: positives this week game with Nebraska growing doubtful. And that 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: was at ten ten Eastern time yesterday, and then we 69 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: found out about an hour later that the game indeed 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: was canceled. I did reach out to my source last 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: night and I just said, this is a nightmare for 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the Big Ten, and he said it's not going to 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: get any better. Great deal of trial and error, and 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: in the end, you're not in a bubble, so players 75 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: will at it. Nebraska wanted to schedule a non conference 76 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: game this week as soon as they found out yesterday 77 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: what was happening Wisconsin. Nebraska reached out to a couple 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: of schools to see if they wanted to come to Lincoln, 79 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Nebraska this weekend. My source also said the twenty one 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: day isolation was an overreaction to myocarditis and there wasn't 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: enough data and my source says I can't imagine the 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: Purdue Wisconsin game will be played next week. So that's 83 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: just an update on some of the things that we 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: have been talking about. Also, a Houston chronicle is saying 85 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: that the Texans should consider trading jj Watt. We looked 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: at that. Now, it's not a report, that's just a 87 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: suggestion that they should trade or at least look into 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: trading jj Watt. I understand it because you're not going 89 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: anywhere this year, and if I can get jj Watt, 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, off the salary cap, maybe I get something 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: in return. I'd be looking at if I'm some of 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: these teams, like what can I get for my players? 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: And also, you know, are we rebuilding or reloading the Texans. 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: I thought we're going to rebuild or reload this year. 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: They should be rebuilding. They're teams contending teams that would 96 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: probably be interested in jj Watt, And I don't want 97 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: to do this and try to create something that's not there. 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at what would be realistic, What is 99 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: the possibility that this could happen. What is something that 100 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: would work for both teams? If you could get a 101 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: late first round pick or a second round pick, for 102 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: JJ Watt right now. If I'm the Texans, as much 103 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: as a PR hit as that's going to be, I 104 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: would still do it because you don't have fans in 105 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: the stands, So the PR hit is not as powerful 106 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: because they're not they're booing you, they're not showing up, 107 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: and you're not going anywhere with JJ Watt, who is 108 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: an older thirty one years of age, with all of 109 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: his injuries. And I had Ethan draw up some numbers 110 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: on the teams that would need JJ Wat. You know 111 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Ethan who does stats. Here the league wide average of 112 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: quarterback pressures is thirty six percent of pass plays. Here 113 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: are the contending teams with the lowest pressure rate. Packers 114 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: number one, Bill's number two, Titans, number three, Colds four Cardinals, 115 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: five Seahawks. Six Seahawks. Just got Carlos Dunlap from the Bengals. 116 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: That's a nice pickup for them. I don't know if 117 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the Packers and he goes back to Wisconsin would make 118 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Feels like it would, but I 119 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know what the Packers would be willing to give up. 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: It appears the Packers might be interested in somebody else 121 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: in the Texans will Fuller their wide receiver. Matt Lafleur 122 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: was at Notre Dame on the staff at Notre Dame. 123 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: He's the head coach of the Packers when Will Fuller 124 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: was a Notre Dame wide receiver. There's a little bit 125 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: of a connection there, McLevin. Do we have a pull 126 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: question today? By the way, we say good morning to 127 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: our radio and TV partner. You can watch on Peacock 128 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: and listen on our great radio affiliates around the country. Okay, 129 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: would you trade a first round pick for JJ Watt 130 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: if you are a Super Bowl contender? Eighty six percent 131 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: said no, Well, consider where that first round pick is 132 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: going to be. It's not going to be probably one 133 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: through twenty three, twenty four. And if I could get 134 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: JJ Watt if I know he's healthy, you know Seattle 135 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: gives up the twenty eighth pick in the draft for 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: JJ Watt right now, Sure, I'd consider that. It's you 137 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: have the window of opportunity to win and you have 138 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: to take advantage of that. That's why I thought, if 139 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm Kansas City, I would certainly do a drive by. Now, 140 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: would they trade you know, him to the Kansas City Chiefs? 141 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: If I'm Kansas City. I want to strengthen my team, 142 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: but I want to weaken your team. I want to 143 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: make sure that you don't get JJ Watt and we do. 144 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: And even if I rotate him in and out, if 145 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: I get him out there for you know, fifteen twenty plays, 146 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: I only need him to play big in a big 147 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: game in the playoffs. Like, that's what I want. And 148 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: if I could get him and I'm giving up thirty first, 149 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: thirty second pick in the draft, sure I'd consider that. Yeah, 150 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: I have a question about Ethan's list. By the way, 151 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: Ethan called me and said he would have pulled Blake 152 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: Snell just so we're clear. Oh, okay, that's all right. 153 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: Who are real contenders on this? The Packers, Bills, Titans, Cults, Cardinals, 154 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: and Seahawks. Yeah, like as a team like the Titans 155 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: or the Cardinals, is there enough there that like, hey, 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: it's time to go in on this. Well, the Titans 157 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: aren't getting anything out of Jajavion Clowney. And I don't 158 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: know if they look at that and say, well, he's 159 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: getting healthier or he's improving or whatever it might be. 160 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: But are like are the Cardinals, Like is it possible 161 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: that they could be a contender, or as early as 162 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: this year. Well, they lost Chandler Jones for the year, 163 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: and that was the only thing I thought. And you're 164 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: in a tough division, You're not gonna have four teams 165 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: making the playoffs. It feels like Green Bay, Seattle, Pittsburgh 166 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: reunite with his brother. Yeah, if I'm Green Bay and 167 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna trade for someone, I'm gonna trade a first 168 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: round pick for Julio Jones. He's the exact same age 169 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: as j JJ. Watch and you get him for a 170 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: first round draft pick. If okay, let's say you are 171 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: the GM of the I would take Julio Jones. Then 172 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: you get your first round pick, and you get the 173 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: second or third pick in the draft, and now you've 174 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: got some draft capital. Well, if I'm if I'm Green Bay, 175 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: I trade for Julio Jones, and if you're in Atlanta 176 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: you would probably do the same. I would need more 177 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: than a first round pick for Julio Joe. He's thirty one, 178 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: He's had a very good career. He's almost always healthy. 179 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: Early in his career. He is banged up to lately 180 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: the past five years he's healthy. You're going they're not 181 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: going anywhere in the next three years? Are you Atlanta? No? 182 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: But I would need more than a first round draft 183 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: pick for Julio Jones. But why would the Packers want 184 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: to add a receiver? I mean their offense is cooking 185 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: with gas. Like I think you could find a spot 186 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: for Julio Jones, but you're not gonna give up a 187 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: first for an older receiver like honestly, and you're you're 188 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: wasting the window of Aaron Rodgers. Why he's one of 189 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: his best years. If I got Julio Jones, there's nowhere 190 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: to go up. He's been nearly perfect. Yeah, you know 191 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: where you go up to the podium when they hand 192 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: you to the Super Bowl trophy. Well, we know there's 193 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: never been a number one wide receiver who's been part 194 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: of a team. There's ever been like a great receiver 195 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: part of a Super Bowl team. That's not how you win. 196 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: Look at the Patriots. You know, Randy Moss never won 197 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: a title. They got really closed though he got close. 198 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: But Julio has never won a title like he may had. 199 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: They were one or two plays away from winning, and 200 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: he had one of the great catches, clutch catches in 201 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl history that went for not people forgot about 202 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: because they lost that Super Bowl. So if I gave 203 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: you a choice back to that, whatefoo is a younger 204 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: like real stud defensive end or a Julio Jones like 205 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: which if I said, you could have Carlos dun Lamp 206 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: or you could have Julio Jones. Well, Dunlap was like 207 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: a six round pick though, but nobody's very good. I 208 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: don't care where. I don't care where you're drafted. No, 209 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, they traded a six round pick 210 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: for me. I think he was pretty much okay. Yes, 211 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: how improved are the Cardinals and Kyler Murray's development by Andrea? 212 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Adding Hopkins for a second round pick seems like it 213 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: seems drastic to me, and I really helped. And I 214 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: know that Julio Jones is different than the Hopkins. He's older, 215 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: maybe not as explosive, but and Aaron Rodgers is good 216 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: without receivers, but it seems like he could be quite 217 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: a bit better. It just feels like this is how 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: close I was to take in the Packers. If the 219 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: Packers had gotten Cede Lamb or one of these receivers 220 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: in the first round, I was going to take the 221 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: Packers to go to the Super Bowl. I thought if 222 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: the Packers got CD Lamb that they would be they 223 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: would win the NFC. That's how close I was to 224 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: taking them. And then they passed on a wide receiver. 225 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: They passed on a wide receiver again and again and again, 226 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: and they took a running back. Yeah, mclub. They were 227 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: thirteen and three last year and they're I think they're 228 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: the Vegas favorite in the NFC this year. They're getting close. 229 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: They're they're awesome. But imagine having Julio Jones. I don't 230 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: think that's what they lack. I think Rogers is just 231 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: fine with these guys. I mean, so you wouldn't make 232 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: any changes. Why are they interested in Will Fuller? Well, 233 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: that's a good point, but honestly, their passing game is awesome, 234 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: the probab Their their concern is like they have to 235 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: be great on defense and to get out of the NFC. 236 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: Nobody's great on defense except for Pittsburgh. But if you're 237 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay, who would make more of an impact JJ 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: water Julio Jones on bigger picture? Yeah, probably JJ, because 239 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: they're already I mean, Davante Adams is playing like the 240 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: best receiver in the NFL with since he got back 241 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: every I would take, I would take this is all 242 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: about offense. The NFL is it's not about defense. But 243 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: the Packers, you know Malaflora, they want to run the 244 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: ball too to keep the defense off the field. You know, 245 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: they want to be a mix. I know, I know, 246 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: I understand it. That'd be really hard to pounce up 247 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: on Julio Jones. Is Julio still that good that he's 248 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: thirty one two? Feels like he's still pretty elite by way, 249 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: your guys, Ceedee Lamb. He had ninety nine catches last year. 250 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, five targets last week, three drops, zero catches. Yeah, 251 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: he's another one out those cowboys who disappointing. He's so talented. Well, 252 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: they're trying to now trade. I guess, Amari Cooper. Did 253 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: they come to the realization that this was a bad contract, Oh, Jerry. 254 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: This program brought to you by the Breeders Cup.

Anthony and Vegas joins us. Anthony, 259 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: Good morning, what is on your mind? Good one? Actually 260 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: got a stat of a day for this Sunday, Actually so. 261 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sunday's matchup between the 262 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: Seelers and Ravens Feelers Mike Tomlin and Ravens John Harbaugh 263 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: will become the first pair of head coaches in the 264 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl era to face off twenty five times in 265 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: the regular season. I think that's pretty cool. Also, also, Paully, 266 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm also watching West Wing and I'm almost doing with 267 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: season four, so I'm not looking forward to season five. 268 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,239 Speaker 1: I've never watched it before, so um, thank you, Anthony. 269 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: I've never seen West Wing. I would recommend it, Dan. 270 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: The first four seasons are great TV, and it's not 271 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: overly political. It's very you know, fun. Then it kind 272 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: of goes squarely in season five and then gets better 273 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: in season six and seven. There's so many shows that 274 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: I never saw, er never saw an episode. I would 275 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: go West Wing over ar Sopranos. Never saw that. You 276 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: got some time now with no football we oh no, 277 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't have any time. I got Cobra Kai taking 278 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: up all my attention. Yeah, see West Wing and R 279 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: feel like they could kind of be the same show 280 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: West Wing or yeah, West Wing or see what I 281 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: did with that? Todd I added the art I'm with poly, 282 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: I think West Wings are cut above. I've been watching EAR. 283 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: It's a studio. No, I'm just saying I when I 284 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: work second shift at ESPN, I missed out on all 285 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: those shows because I worked at night. I never saw 286 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: any of those shows for what ten years I was 287 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: working second shift? Hees, no, fifteen years working second shift. Yes, 288 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: I've read this great story about the making of The 289 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: West Wing and Aaron Sorkin and the producers are trying 290 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: to hire these different actors and they didn't want big names. 291 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: They want to like meet potatoes, good actors, and the 292 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: network said, you need to hire some more good looking people. 293 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: They're like, you can't have all these people who are 294 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: very you know whatever they were, And they go, all right, um, 295 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: we We're gonna bring in Rob Low to be one 296 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: of the president's speech writers. Like there you go. Now 297 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: you're now you're getting the drift. Maybe I have a 298 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: problem with Aaron Sorkin, Like subconsciously because Aaron Sorkin he 299 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: produced Sports Night, and it was supposed to be based 300 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: on Sports Center and Keith Overman and myself, and we 301 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: gave them all these storylines. They didn't use any of 302 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: those storylines. And then you'd watch the show and you go, 303 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: that's not how it is. I'm assuming news. The newsroom 304 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: looks like a newsroom, sounds and feels like a newsroom. 305 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: But watching Sports Night and you had a great cast, 306 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: but it did not resemble Sports Center. We're telling the writers, 307 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: we're sitting down, tell them all the crazy stuff that 308 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: goes on when you're, you know, getting ready to do 309 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: a show and you're putting on your own makeup. Somebody 310 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: could be sitting in the stall while you put on 311 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: your makeup, you know, running down to the sets, you know, 312 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: leak in the roof one night, just over the set 313 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: of Sports Like, there was all these crazy things that 314 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: happened there. And then we start to watch the show 315 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: and we go, this isn't a fun. So maybe I 316 00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: subconsciously blame Aaron Sorkin. Yes, mcclen all right, hate, But 317 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: I think I think West Wing is the Tom Petty 318 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: of TV shows For PAULI Now when early two thousands, Project, 319 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I don't know if you're aware of this, 320 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: but Paul's been watching West Wing lately, Yeah, a lot 321 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, and he's been listening to a lot 322 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: of Tom Petty. I'm like, two years in. This is 323 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: like Fritzie stuck in the eighties, Paul, He's stuck in 324 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: the nineties here at Tom Petty Channels. Yeah, keep going 325 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: right with Paul, by the way, at late nineties, early 326 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: two thousands. Put it in my vein. That's great. Chris 327 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: Mannix is going to join us coming up. I'm gonna 328 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: talk to him about when does the NBA season start, 329 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: because there's a real tuggle war here between the owners. 330 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: They want Christmas Day, that's a big deal, and the 331 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: players are not going to stand for that. They want 332 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: to wait another month after that. I also want to 333 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: ask him, you got Darryl Moorey going to Philadelphia and 334 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: it feels like with Doc Rivers, Daryl Morey got Elton 335 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: brand in there in the front office, and you got 336 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: that roster. I don't know what kind of team that's 337 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna look like. What kind of changes does he stay with? 338 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: Those two stars there, Ben Simmons and Joe l Embiid 339 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: are the Clippers interested in Rajen Rondo and would they 340 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: be interested in Rajen Rondo if he didn't play for 341 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: the Lakers.

Who are the Lakers going to add? And 358 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: does Daryl Morey fit in Philadelphia? What's that style going 359 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: to look like? Here's something for you. The Rockets are 360 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: set to hire Stephen Silas as their new head coach. 361 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: He is the son of Paul Silas, who coached the 362 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: Cavaliers in Lebron James rookie season two thousand and three. Today, 363 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: October twenty ninth is the anniversary of Lebron James NBA debut. 364 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: That was October twenty nine, two thousand and three, when 365 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: Lebron in the Calves lost at Sacramento one of six 366 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: ninety two. In his debut, Lebron played forty two minutes 367 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: and there was a sellout crowd of seventeen thousand at 368 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: Sacramento's Arco Arena. Eighteen days ago, Lebron played forty one 369 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: minutes and went thirteen of twenty from the floor in 370 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: an empty arena, and the Lakers won the title. So 371 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: he started out twelve of twenty in his debut and 372 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: last eighteen days ago was thirteen of twenty in his 373 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: final game for this season. So Stephen Silence gets the 374 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: call for the Houston Rockets. Yes, Paul Michael Jordan never 375 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: lost to the Kings and his Rickie debut Wow, well 376 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: true story. Yeah, you're right, I don't need his stats. 377 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: Polly James in Virginia, Hey James, oh, thanks for taking 378 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: my call. Brother, Happy Thursday are Washington? Alrighty, hey man, 379 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: you know I love to just sit back and listen 380 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: to you guys. You guys chopping up like no other man. 381 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: But mcloving man, you're kind of pushing me to the 382 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: edge today, man, with this wide receiver talk. First of all, man, 383 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is probably one of the best receivers in 384 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: the game still. This guy has six foot three and 385 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: then like a four or five and catches nothing but 386 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: touchdowns and hundred recessions the game a season. I mean, 387 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: and as far as not great receivers winning the Super Bowl, 388 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I can go back to the eighties with 389 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Art Monk and Darry Rice. In the nineties with Jerry 390 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: Rice and Michael Irvin. You've got the greatest show on 391 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: turf with a home I ain't think Bruce. I mean, 392 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: this goes on and on. Tonio Holmes was that great receiver, 393 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs and Doctrin like, you can just keep adding them up. Now, 394 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: I will say, you gotta have great defense. It's a 395 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: team oriented games and receivers don't win it on their own. 396 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: But when you can, you put Julio Jones on the 397 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: Green Batty Packers. Whoa man, I already told you I 398 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: got them winning the NFC. I take it off there, man, Thanks, 399 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: thank you, James, thank you. James had a problem with you, Mclubbin. Yeah. So, 400 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: just to be clear, James is putting Santonio Holmes and 401 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice in the same conversation as great wide receivers. 402 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't Santonio Holmes a great receiver, just a good 403 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: receiver neither. He was just a system Pittsburgh who happened 404 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: to be there in this second. By the way, Julio 405 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: Jones is thirty one, That's all I'm saying. Of course, 406 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: who is like the one of my favorite receivers of 407 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: all time. But I don't know if you never heard 408 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: you say one nice thing about Julio Jones before. I'm 409 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: a full on Julio Jones guy, always have been. He's 410 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: not a system wide receiver. No Julio, No Julio. Calvin 411 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: Johnson are my two receiver guys. I like they just 412 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: score a touchdown and hand the ball of the official. 413 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: But he's now clearly that Calvin Ridley is the star there. 414 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: I've been Julio'll have a big game, But you know, 415 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: he's thirty one. Isn't that old for receiver years. I 416 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: don't know when the cliff usually is. If you could 417 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: get a first round pick for Julio Jones and you're 418 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons, geo, Oh, I don't think you get a 419 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: first two round for Julio. Okay, I mean I'd be 420 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: shocked if anyone would give up a first round for Julio. 421 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: He's thirty one and he's expensive. I don't know if 422 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: anything happens prior to the trade deadline. Every year we 423 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: talk about the possibilities and then nobody gets traded. More 424 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up. Chris Mannox joining us and senior 425 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: NBA rider for Sports Illustrated. Let me start with the schedule, 426 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: Mannox and the importance of the NBA coming back and 427 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: playing these games on Christmas Day? What do you think? 428 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA understands that, at least for the 429 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: first quarter of twenty twenty one, it's highly unlikely that 430 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: we see fans in the stadium, So to maximize their revenue, 431 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: it's as simple as maximizing their games, and by starting 432 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: the season during Christmas Week, you can squeeze in a 433 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: seventy two games schedule. That ends sometime in late June, 434 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and that's that's equally important Dan to this process as well. 435 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Adam Silver has said this to me, 436 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: he said this to others, like, they want to get 437 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: out next year before the start of the scheduled Olympics. 438 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: They don't want to be playing deep into the summer 439 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: and competing with swimming and track and field and things 440 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: that people watch during an Olympics cycle. They want to 441 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: be out out of normal times. They can reset their 442 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: calendar going into twenty twenty two seasons, so by starting 443 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: in late December, they can get as many games as possible. 444 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: They can fulfill their regional sports contracts, which is important, 445 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: maximize those national contracts and at least generate as much 446 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: revenue as they possibly can. Yeah, but the Players Union 447 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: is going to push back on this. Yeah, the Players 448 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: Union has pushed back on this, will push back on this. 449 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: Michelle Roberts Her comments this week to The Athletic are 450 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: in line with everything she said to other reporters, including me. 451 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I spoke to her back in August and 452 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: asked her about this specific question, knowing the NBA would 453 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: probably want to get back at some point December, and 454 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: she said to me that twenty twenty just didn't feel 455 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: like a realistic possibility. And now here you are a 456 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: couple of months before a penciled in start date, and 457 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: Michelle Roberts is saying the exact same things. Now understand, Dan, 458 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: there are probably half the teams in the league that 459 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: are going to be ready to go. You had eight 460 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: teams that didn't go to the bubble that have effectively 461 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: been off since March. You've got another half dozen teams 462 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: that were done in mid August. I mean, there are 463 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: teams out there that are ready for that start, but 464 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: you can't to restimate the power of one team and 465 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: the power of one player, and that's the Lakers and 466 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: Lebron James this process. I mean, I talked to a 467 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: player just last night and he told me he's like, 468 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: if Lebron doesn't want to play, we're not playing. So 469 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, it probably isn't as simple as that, but 470 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: Lebron James will have a big influence in this process. 471 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: Explain to me what the seventy sixers are going to 472 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: look like when they take the floor this upcoming season. 473 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Now that you bring in Doc Rivers, you've got Daryl 474 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: Moorey in there as well. What kind of style and 475 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: will we have the same lineup on the floor. Oh, 476 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: I mean that's the question, right, I mean, I think 477 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: the biggest the biggest question you have now is what 478 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: does this mean for Joel Embid and Ben Simmons. Now, 479 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: before Daryl Morey was hired, it was almost a mortal 480 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: lock that you would see Simmons and mb back with 481 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: this team together. It's probably likely that you see Simmons 482 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: Embid back to start next season. But Daryl Morey is 483 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: a free wheeling general manager who has not been afraid 484 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: in the past to shake up his roster and make 485 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: significant moves. And he's a general manager that bases a 486 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: lot of his philosophies on analytics and texting with other gms. 487 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: They kind of said the same thing to me. They 488 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: were like, well, I wonder what this means for mbating Simmons. 489 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: Will Darrel look to move one of those guys to 490 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: create a more modern NBA Like Mbid is great, Simmons, 491 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: despite the fact that he can't shoot, is a great player, 492 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: but they don't necessarily fit the modern NBA and be 493 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: the low post presence. Simmons a non non three point shooter. 494 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna bear watching in the next month 495 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: two months. You know how Daryl Morey views this roster 496 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: and if he thinks that Mbat and Simmons can play together. 497 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: But also you have Stephen Silas taking over in Houston. 498 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: So no Morey, no Dantoni, And what's that mean for 499 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: the style of the Houston Rockets. Well, first and foremost, 500 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: Stephen Silas is an excellent coach, like he has been 501 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: effectively a coach in waiting for the better part of 502 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: the last four or five years. I mean, he was 503 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: considered strongly for that Houston job back in twenty sixteen 504 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: before Mike D'Antoni was hired for it. He's been considered 505 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: strongly for another handful of jobs since then. He's got 506 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: a great background. If you go back all the way 507 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: to his early days, Steph Curry and Clay Thompson were 508 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: two players that worked really well with him back in 509 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: the Golden State. So all that being said, Rockets are 510 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: an almost impossible coaching job at this point. I don't 511 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: think there's style of play changes simply because it can't. 512 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: Like they're not going to go out there and suddenly 513 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: have salary cap space. They're not going to be able 514 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: to significantly alter their front court to add another big man. 515 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: I think Steven Sala's going to have his own twist 516 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: on some things. But in Houston, barring a substantial deal 517 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: involving James Harden, I don't believe you can change the 518 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: way they play significantly enough to make a difference. He's 519 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: Chris Mannix Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer. I'm looking at 520 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: the Clippers. There was a little chatter about maybe Chris 521 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: Paul coming back Rajon Rondo with the Clippers. What kind 522 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: of moves can the Clippers make to counter what's going 523 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: to be an extremely strong, you know West again next season. Yeah, 524 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean they're extremely limited in what they can do. 525 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: They don't have the draft capital to make a trade. 526 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: They don't really have the assets in general, whether it's 527 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: young players or otherwise, to make a deal. What they 528 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: do have are some of these salary exceptions, and you 529 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: can throw an exception at a Rajon Rondo and Rondo, look, 530 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: his stock hasn't been this high since he left Boston's 531 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: as simple as that. I mean, the way he played 532 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: in the playoffs proving once again he's on a championship level, 533 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: the Clippers could certainly use something like that. When Patrick 534 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: Beverley went down the playoffs, they were really missing something 535 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: at that position, and Rondo can bring something to that slot. 536 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: So I think you're going to see in Los Angeles 537 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: with the Clippers some nibbling around the fringes a little bit. 538 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: You'll see maybe a Rondo added or other big man added. 539 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: But I still think it's more likely than not that 540 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: the Clippers dig deep into their pocketbook bring back, you know, 541 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: some of the players they have as free agents, whether 542 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: it's Montres Harold or Marcus Morris or Jamichael Green, and 543 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: try to run this thing back. That's kind of the 544 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: message Dan they were sending when they brought in ty Lou. 545 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: I mean, ty Lou is an excellent coach, but he's 546 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: also a coach that can establish continuity that can help 547 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,719 Speaker 1: that team hit the ground running whenever next season starts. 548 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: So I think they bring this band largely back together. 549 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but think when Lebron was celebrating the 550 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: title that confetti is coming down, that he was immediately 551 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: thinking who can I get on this roster? Like what 552 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: do we add? And you know there was talk about 553 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: Chris Paul, that can you bring in Chris Paul? Do 554 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: you need Chris Paul? If Lebron just had an incredible 555 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: season as your point guard, what are the Lakers add 556 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: or some try act? Well, I don't know that there's 557 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: much room for them to add or some track anything either, 558 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: for largely the same reasons that you know the Clippers have. 559 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: But the Lakers are in a slightly different position in 560 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: that in the summer of twenty twenty one they could 561 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: have some pretty significant salary cap flexibility. They could make 562 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: some moves where I believe they'll be right around thirty 563 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: million dollars in available cap space depending on what they 564 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: do with some of these contracts this offseason. So their 565 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: their goal to make a significant change probably lies in 566 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty one. The Chris Paul stuff 567 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: you gotta Chris Paul makes like, you know, seventy five 568 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: billion dollars or whatever it is, like he has He 569 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: has one of the biggest contracts in the year. That's 570 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: an exaggeration. Okay, perhaps it's over the time, but but 571 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: if you're acquiring Chris Paul, you've got to basically, you know, 572 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: gut your team or deal a big, big name player 573 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: and really do willing to roll the dice. That's why 574 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: a team like Milwaukee still looms. I think is the 575 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: strongest candidate to extract Chris Paul from Oaklaw, which I 576 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: believe is going to appen. Yeah, they could use him 577 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: more than anybody. And if they had Chris Paul this 578 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: past season, I think it would have been different. I 579 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: think he would have meant that much to them. And Dan, 580 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: you can you can make it work in Milwaukee. You 581 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: can put together a combination of Eric Bledsoe George Hill. 582 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: You can sweeten the pot with a Dante di Vincenzo 583 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: or a draft pick. You can make an appealing offer 584 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: to a team like Oklahoma City. And if you're the Bucks, 585 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. I mean, worst case scenario, you know, 586 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: Jannis leaves after next season, You're stuck with one extra 587 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: year of a big contract with Chris Paul. After the 588 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two season, you would wipe the books 589 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: basically clean, to start from scratch. So there is there 590 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: is no easier move, or more of a no brainer 591 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: move to make than Chris Paul going to Milwaukee. Before 592 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: I let you go, I know you. You're not married, 593 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: but you fall in love a lot when it comes 594 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: to the NBA Draft, Yeah, have you fallen in love 595 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: with somebody A little bit? A little bit. I'm guy, 596 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: this is getting recorded. I'm a big James Wiseman guy, 597 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: big James Wiseman guy. I don't know what to compare 598 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: him to. I see a little bit of like David 599 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: Robinson's game in him from back in the day. He's 600 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 1: a hyper athletics seven foot one guy who I think 601 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: if he is drafted by Golden State with the number 602 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: two pack in the draft, he's going to be a 603 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: player there for a long time and he's gonna be 604 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: affected for that team almost immediately. I think, whether it's 605 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: a trade or Anthony Edwards, that's probably the number one 606 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: pick for Golden State sitting there at number two. If 607 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: they don't make a deal, I think James Wiseman is 608 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: their guy, and I think he's one of not the 609 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: best players in this draft. Yes, mclovin, Chris, I know 610 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: you've been in the bubble for a while. Have you 611 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: been there since nineteen eighty eight? Have you noticed that 612 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: US centers don't matter anymore? Athletic centers who can run 613 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: the floor. James Wiseman played for Penny Hardaway down in Memphis, 614 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: and I was talking to Penny about this recently. Uh. 615 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: You know, Kenny used to show Wiseman all these tapes 616 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: of Shack, and Wiseman such a young guy that he 617 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: viewed Shack as kind of this, you know, the lumbering 618 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: big man we saw with the Lakers. He forgot and 619 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: you know this Dan, in the nineteen nineties, Shack ran 620 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: the floor. Shack was one of the most athletic big 621 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: men in the NBA. And I think Wiseman's got a 622 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: little bit of that in him, a little bit of 623 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: the ability to dominate and run the open floor. What 624 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: about my guy from Israel? No, you're now, You're getting 625 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: too deep in the weeds for me there, Danny, Danny 626 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: h of Vida, No, yeah, Deja, I'm not even touching that. 627 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: You don't even not even going this this.

I hope 630 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: we're hope we're rolling on this stuff too, not just 631 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: my Oh no, I've already said it before this, okay, 632 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, because but he could he could wind 633 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: up being Nicholas is Dealing, you know, and Nicholas Skittish Valley. 634 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: Could it was just a tall guy, that was it? 635 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: That he can then he can then he can be 636 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: Dragon Bender or Mario Zonia or Rafael Arroyo or any 637 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: of the other international imports or Dante Exum dote Ximbout 638 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: injury issues. That's why dot Exum didn't pans. I should 639 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: say hold on, I should say Hagan to go for 640 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: big opportunity in Cleveland this year. Oh yeah, yeah, they're 641 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: talking about him. Uh hey, thank you, Chris. I appreciate 642 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: your time as always. You got Dan, Chris Mannox. I 643 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: don't know about this guy who's I think his parents 644 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: one of his parents' is Israeli and the other one Serbian. 645 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: Is so one of them comes from the Serbian basketball program, 646 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: the dad, I think. Okay, so yeah he's got you know, yeah, 647 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you hear Israeli player? And nothing 648 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: really comes to mind. There aren't a lot of Israeli players, Yeah, 649 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: but there are a lot of Serbian players. I just 650 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's the un known probably so. 651 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: But when you think of the NBA Draft, this is 652 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: all unknown. James Wiseman played what eleven games from Memphis? 653 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: You got LaMelo ball played overseas. These guys are usually 654 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: one and done, so there is a mystery to them. 655 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: But this is a guy I just saw you some 656 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: of his highlights, unlike Luca don Chick, where I actually 657 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: saw a couple of actual games, which is where you 658 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: get a truer sense of just how good somebody is 659 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: because you can piece together the highlights and go but 660 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: that guy's unbelievable. But in the flow of the game, 661 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: the context of the game, that's where you saw Luca. 662 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: He would take over and make big plays at big moments, 663 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: and it wasn't just highlights put together, but obviously far 664 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: better than anybody thought he would. I gave you some 665 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: information from my source. Nebraska as of yesterday was trying 666 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: to find a replacement opponent since Wisconsin couldn't go to 667 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: Nebraska due to COVID. Well, it looks like Nebraska found 668 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: its opponent. Well about that coming up next year on 669 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show.

My college football 677 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 1: source told me that when Nebraska found out Wisconsin could 678 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: not get their team ready due to COVID to travel 679 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: to Lincoln, Nebraska, Nebraska was on the phone yesterday morning 680 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: trying to find an opponent for this weekend. Didn't hear 681 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: anything yesterday, but I've heard something today and it's being 682 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: reported the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and Nebraska close to 683 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: finalizing an agreement to play this Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska. 684 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: The Chattanooga Times Free Press has learned through multiple sources 685 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: the Cornhuskers game against what Wisconsin canceled earlier this week. 686 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: The game is awaiting approval from the Big Ten Conference, 687 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: which had previously set an eight game conference only schedule 688 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: this fall. And keep in mind, when all of this 689 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: was going on, when Nebraska was going to go rogue 690 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: and if the Big Ten wasn't playing, then Nebraska was 691 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: going to secede from the Big ten at least for 692 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: a season, and they got spanked by the Big Ten. 693 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: When they got back together and they decided, okay, Nebraska, 694 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: you want to play football. You start your season going 695 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: to Ohio State. I was told that they did that 696 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: on purpose to punish Nebraska. Now Nebraska is trying to 697 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: play a game. They need Big Ten approval, and I 698 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: can't imagine they're gonna get Big Ten approval for this weekend. Paulie. 699 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: Then we have an update, and you know how much 700 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: you and I love you.

According to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN, he's 702 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: a college football writer, the Big Ten is denied Nebraska's 703 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: attempt to replace its canceled game against Wisconsin with FCS 704 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: team UT Chattanooga. Sources tell them Chattanooga had already tested 705 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: staff and players Wednesday and came back negative, but the 706 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: game will not happen. According to ESPN's college football reporter, 707 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: I don't know why Nebraska doesn't go through the Big 708 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: Ten first to save embarrassment, because if I know that 709 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: you're trying to schedule a game through my source, I'm 710 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: going to guess the Big Ten's going Wait a minute, 711 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: are they doing this behind our back? It's one of 712 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: those Hey, you know, we would rather beg for forgiveness 713 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: than ask for permission. Why wouldn't you just say to 714 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: the Big ten, is it okay if we schedule a game? Yeah, 715 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: Polly and Uti. Chattanooga football had planned on playing a 716 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: spring schedule, but that allowed him to practice, and they 717 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: were going to run up to Lincoln handle some business 718 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: and come back to Chattanooga, and it looks like they're denied. 719 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: They are Also it appears that they were going to 720 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: be paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to go 721 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: to Lincoln, plus travel costs, so that would have been 722 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: a big boost for their athletic department. Yeah, why don't 723 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: you just call? Why don't you just ask the Big ten? 724 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: Can we do this? My weekend's ruined. Well, I would 725 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: like to have watched it, but it just I don't know. 726 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why these schools don't go, you know, 727 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 1: and maybe we should ask for Nebraska. Look, if you 728 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: don't want to be in the Big ten, then don't 729 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: be in the Big ten, and the Big Ten will 730 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: not an isss you. But it's not like Tom Osborne's 731 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: walking through that door. I am hip or Microsier or 732 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Rogers ask for permission. Yes, Ton, you have to 733 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: have a chat Anooga with the appropriate parties or these 734 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: are the things that I'm gonna happen. See what you did, 735 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be let down and bummed solid and improving. 736 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: Ton sold, Yes you will. By the way, Tom Brady 737 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: named NFC Offensive Player of the Year. And Antonio Brown 738 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: hasn't started practicing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but according 739 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: to head coach Bruce Arians, he looked fantastic. I don't 740 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: know what, like, did he walk in and he was 741 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: dressed nice? You look fantastic, because I would think he 742 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: wanted to look fantastic when he takes the football field. 743 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: When does he take the football field? If we got 744 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: an update on Antonio Brown, I think I saw next week, 745 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: Week nine. I'll double check that. So not this game, okay, 746 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: because he this is still the eight game suspension. Should 747 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: it count if you're not on a roster that you 748 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: have an eight game suspension but you're not on a roster. 749 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: Yes see, that's what I don't understand. I know that 750 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: he sat out eight weeks, but he wasn't on a team. 751 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: So what does that count as a suspension? That's what 752 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: I was wondering. That's what I was wondering too. Yeah, 753 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,479 Speaker 1: we were wondering the same thing. Yeah, doesn't make any sense. 754 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got some a comment from Bo Jackson 755 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: that I want to play for you coming up next hour, 756 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: where he thinks he would average three hundred and fifty 757 00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: yards rushing per game. Todd Gurley so was told in 758 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: the huddle by Matt Ryan, make sure you don't score 759 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: a touchdown. We'll have that for you coming up as well. 760 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,439 Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens, because if you say 761 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: to Todd Gurley in the huddle, whatever you do, don't 762 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 1: score a touchdown, and then he probably thinks, gosh, these 763 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: guys are trying to tackle me, and I'm gonna have 764 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: to fight through these tackles. Why didn't I mean, just 765 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: go through the line and then fall down, or why 766 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: don't you just take a knee. I didn't understand that. 767 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: If you're on the basketball floor and I say, whatever 768 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: you do, I'm gonna throw you the ball, do not score, 769 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: and then you have a defender who comes up on 770 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 1: you and you go, oh my god, I don't know 771 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: what to do. I'm gonna shoot. Oh you know what 772 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:51,479 Speaker 1: that happened. Mario did that. That's not necessary, but true, 773 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: Seton passed him the ball. Did you tell him not 774 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: to shoot? You know, we don't have any audio of 775 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: that conversation. That was a play off game too. Yes, 776 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: I think my swarming defense forced him to shoot. Hi Paddock, 777 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't get enough credit, and I'm giving you credit 778 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 1: right now because he did panic. He's like, oh my gosh, 779 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to shoot. I never would have shot 780 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: if I didn't come up on him like that. He 781 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: shoots an airball, and the only way you could lose 782 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: is to get an airball and put it back in 783 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: Johnny Bench coming up on the program,
