WEBVTT - 12/03/20 HOUR 3- Bill Walton 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.840 Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Thursday, Bill Walton will 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.360 stop buying about twenty minutes from now more phone calls 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:15.040 on the way. Steelers hold off the Ravens. Bud Dupree 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.920 loss for the season with a torn acl Lebron extends 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.280 his deal two more years. Anthony Davis has signed up 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.640 for five more years with the Lakers. Michigan and Maryland 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.320 has been canceled. The Rockets ship Russell Westbrook to the 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.600 Wizards for John wall You know, the funny thing about 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.080 NBA contracts is we celebrate them when the players sign them, 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.440 and then forget about them when they turn into albatrosses. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.360 And that's when you go, wait, he signed for how much? 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.880 Wait he's owed how much? Well? Washington reportedly dealt John 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.440 Wallen his three year, one hundred thirty two million dollars 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.640 deal to Houston for Russell Westbrook and his three year, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.800 one hundred thirty three million dollar contract. Westbrook is at 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.440 least one an MVP, he was third team All NBA 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.000 last year, and he'll be reunited with his former coach 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.920 Scottie Brooks in DC. John wall gets to go to 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.040 Houston where he gets to watch James Harden shoot. And 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.360 keep in mind both teams were trading distressed assets and 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:19.600 that's what made this difficult because Westbrook wanted out. You know, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.240 it was like a one year experiment. Now I've seen enough, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.360 I want out. I want to be my guy, play 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.520 my game. John Wall hasn't played. December of twenty eight 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.640 teen is last time he played. Even if John Wall's healthy, 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.240 I still think the Wizard's got the better end of 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.520 this deal. I don't know what John Wall is going 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.240 to be like coming back from a torn Achilles, but 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.240 this is one of those trades where you go, we'll 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.000 take your guy that you don't want, and you take 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.800 our guy that we don't want, And then we're gonna 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.200 find out. Bradley Beale want to play with Russell Westbrook 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.200 or does he want to be traded? Does James Harden 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.559 still want to be traded? Or does he say, oh, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.640 John Wall, Yeah, I'd love to play with John Wall. 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.920 Eight seven having three DP show email address, DP oft 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.800 Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show Kyle 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:10.480 and California is back on the program. Hi, Kyle, ADP. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.680 You know you're totally right with John Wall and Ross. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.160 Who knows what the heck is gonna happen. Those two 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.919 are just going to be a blur up down the court, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.600 throwing it to whoever wentever. But Lebron he needs to 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.800 be defended. He gets trashed at every turn for no reason. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.079 When you find out Russell, Westbrook and John Mall make 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.079 just as much money as him, you say, Okay, maybe 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.640 Lebron's the biggest bargain in the league. So the Lebron 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.480 stuff is always Lebron stuff. And then, by the way, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.880 Lee Angelo on a Pistons, all three ball brothers, let's go. Yeah, 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.440 I saw that. I mentioned that to the dan Ens 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.560 this morning. Thanks for the phone call. Lo Angelo can shoot, 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 you know. The other two ball brothers can't shoot. But 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.480 he can shoot. He's just not as good all around player, 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.959 and maybe he's got a chance to stick with the Pistons. There. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.720 Tim and Florida joins us, Good morning, Tim, what's on 0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:09.760 your mind? Well, I'm a fact anyway, um and got 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.359 a got a got a bad phone connection. I think 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.679 Tim and Florida has started out by saying Lebron is 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.600 a flopper. So your big criticism of Lebron is he's 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.520 a flopper boy, get in line. There's a take a 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:32.399 number of the guys who flop flail, Yes, Polly. Lebron's flops, though, 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.600 are especially dramatically because of his physical size, because he 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.840 cannot be moved by most of it. But does that 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.640 make him polarizing? Oh no, that doesn't about It really 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.280 actually doesn't bother me at all. It's not the refs 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.240 to call it or not call it. Lebron's just working 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.040 the refs. The reps are the ones who are at fault. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.400 But when he does, he does the no I know, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.080 Sergeant Elias getting shot in platoon move and he's about 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.680 four times the size of the the starge. Oh I think 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.120 it's embarrassing when I see that. But that doesn't make 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.200 him polarize, sing, I mean, there are other things if 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.960 you don't like him. This comes down to and I 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.320 don't want to make the Final Hour about Lebron and 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.640 Michael Jordan, but this is what this is about. It's 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.360 Michael has this place where you put him on the mantel, 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.880 or it's that portrait that you put above the fireplace. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.120 And now all of a sudden, somebody says, you know, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.320 I just thinking maybe putting that some other place. Maybe, um, 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.599 I don't know, in the den. Can we put another 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.480 portrait of there up there above the mantel? H yeah, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.800 what are you thinking of Lebron James? Oh no, no, no, no, 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.680 you can't have that up there. We don't want Lebron 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.120 interrupting our memory. Like Mike, he never missed a shot. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.240 He never lost a playoff game. Yes, no, he did 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.120 lose playoff games, yes, yes he did. Yes, first couple 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.360 of years of his career. Now, if Michael had been 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.000 on Sports Illustrated at the age of sixteen and it 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.760 was the chosen one, he goes to North Carolina, he 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.360 does hit the game winning shot for a national championship, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.320 that's big. But he would have got into the NBA 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.560 and the critics would have been all over him because 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.960 he couldn't get out of the first round. Michael didn't win, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.479 and then all of a sudden he realized, I'm going 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.360 to take less money or I'm not going to ask 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.320 for more money. We're going to build a roster. Here 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.240 he got Phil Jackson Scottie Pippen turned out to be 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.919 one of the great draft picks in NBA history. You 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.960 started to fill in other parts of that roster and 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.159 he had a great team, but Mike never had the hype. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.600 He got the hype after the Air Jordan, like once 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.039 he got the shoe deal, then we wanted to see 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.800 if he was great and an all time great because 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.080 he was still just a fascinating highlight. And then he 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.880 started to win. And then that's what's different, you know. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.640 Lebron started out and he was getting into the playoffs. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.560 They went to an NBA Finals with one of the 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.400 worst teams ever, one of the worst team to ever 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.440 go to the NBA Finals, and they played the Spurs, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.760 but he didn't gave credit. He lost, and then he'd 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:11.159 go again and then he would lose, and then he said, well, okay, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.560 if I want to be compared to Jordan, nobody's going 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.800 to come here to Cleveland to play, and I'm gonna 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.040 go to Miami. We got criticized for that, and then 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.880 he went back to Cleveland won a title. Yeah, but 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320 Kyrie hit the big shot. Okay, let's see him do 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.160 it in the West. And then he goes to the West. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.520 Oh yeah, look what happened, and Lebron he went out there, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.279 they didn't make the playoffs, okay, and then they went 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.880 a title in the bubble, degree of difficulty through the roof, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.479 and here we are Lebron team to beat great offseason 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.239 and then oh he should have taken less money. Why 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.480 they have the team to beat Anthony Davis didn't take 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.560 less And here comes Lebron James and knocking on Michael 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.320 Jordan's store. Oh my gosh, I don't want to open 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.560 up my scrap book and see Lebron in there. That's 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.640 what bothers people. And there are things he's passive, aggressive, 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.160 He hasn't always been a good teammate. I don't believe 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:19.720 he's punched a teammate as Michael did. But it feels like, however, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.280 we can make this more about Mike and less about 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.680 Lebron than there are people are going to do that. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.560 Trust me, Jordan's can spend this. Lebron didn't care enough 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.160 about winning to punch out a teammate, the commitment to 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.120 the raft. Yeah, he should have punched out who was it, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:43.240 Booby Gibson? Remember remember that day? Very jall big z god. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.320 He took a CBA roster to the NBA Finals against 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.160 the Spurs. All right, uh, Dan Orlovsky was on first 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.320 hour and I got high praise for him. He's a 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.720 very interesting guy. And he talked about how this is 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.560 foregone conclude if I gave you the chiefs of the 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.640 field to win the Super Bowl, and Orlovsky said, not 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.400 even close taking Kansas City. And this is why if 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.720 they go down fourteen, I still unequivocally believe in them, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.840 like I just their quarterback does so much stuff with 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.080 his physical talent and then his brain like it's he 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.120 sees things so fast. Because if they go down fourteen, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.120 they're still gonna have fifty plus snaps. That's why I 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.240 like the holding the football is such a big deal. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.320 And I understand that we've seen it, but they flirt 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.480 with danger and they don't put you away. But and 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.280 they got lucky in the postseason. They got lucky in 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.160 every single game. Now you could say luck is the 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:49.319 residue of design, but they got lucky. And then Orlovsky said, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:54.280 the best non quarterback in the league is I look 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.960 at that offense and I go, there's no flaw. Kelsey's 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.400 the best player in football that's not a quarterback back. Um, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.319 and wait, wait, you think Kelsey is He's the best 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:12.160 player who's not a quarterback. Yeah. Wow O do what 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:18.000 over Aaron Donald? I mean, for me, yes, because they stuck, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:23.640 just because he brings so much offense to their offense 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:30.200 before the ball ever gets snapped. And I found that interesting. Now, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.000 I don't know, does anybody didn't Mclevinon's start with you? 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.080 Is Travis Kelsey the best non quarterback? Now, I don't 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.079 know best or most valuable, but the most talented player 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.160 non quarterback in the league. No, he's the second most 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.760 talented player on his own offense, behind Tyree Kill so 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.120 that would be the third most talented then behind PA 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.360 non quarterback. Yeah, yeah, I think I agree. Kelsey's unstoppable 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.440 and whenever you think you have the Chiefs beat, he 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.760 finds into the middle of field and catches down all 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.319 in front of him turns for thirty yards. But no, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.839 that's too strong statement. I'm not sure what the is 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.720 Aaron Donald the answer? I'm not sure about that. But no, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.840 Kelsey's not number one. But if you said I could 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.360 start my team with Aaron Donald or Travis Kelsey, I'm 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.760 taking Aaron Donald. What about Tyreek Killer Travis Kelsey? I 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.320 think Tyree Hill is great. He relies on others to 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.360 be to help him be great. I think Travis Kelsey 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.000 would be great on any team. I think Tyree Hill 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:35.080 needs he needs situations where he can take advantage of them, 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.640 and he has and he's got you know, Mahomes to 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.000 help him. Kelsey is going to help out any quarterback. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.040 I think on like every down he's going to be 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.080 able to help you. But you know George Kittle. George 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.440 Kittle is to me as good, or if not more 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.920 well rounded than Travis Kelsey. And Kittle is a great blocker. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.760 Now you might say, well, what's that mean, Well, in 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.680 the Niners offense, it means everything. Kittle has that speed 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.800 to beat you deep. So I don't think it's Travis 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.040 Kelsey's the best non quarterback in the league. Now he 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.280 can be in the conversation, but uh no, I don't. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.720 I don't see that. Yeah, Polly, I'm gonna spice this 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.160 up a little, Dan. I'm gonna offer you Aaron Donald 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.240 and George Kittle. You can get signing both of them 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.400 or Travis Kelsey and Miles Garrett package deals. I will 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.520 take Aaron Donald and George Kittle. Aaron Donald is there 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.600 every play. Miles Garrett shows up and he can be 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.400 you know, an impact player. He's not like Jadeveon Clowney. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.880 He's a better player. But I you know, George Kittle 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.520 to me is on equal footing with Travis Kelsey. And 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.439 that's pretty high. I mean, that's high praise that they're 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.240 you know, toe to toe. But Aaron Donalds is just different. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.719 There's nobody in football like him. No one to lead 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.760 the league in sacks as a defensive tackle. I mean, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:05.440 that doesn't happen. And he's doubled teamed every game. Now, 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.880 I Aaron donald to me is the non you know, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:12.319 as far as non quarterbacks, the best player in football, 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.800 most valuable player in football. That in my opinion, in 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.920 my astute opinion, of course. Jesse and Los Angeles, Hey, Jess, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.400 what do you have for me? Hey? Dpy, But hey, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.240 I think I think I have a solution for you 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.719 with the Todd situation. And I have a comment on 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.679 the great Bill Walton. Okay, my solution, My solution hey is, uh, 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.320 you know, I'm sorry to bring it up, but because 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.400 it makes him uncomfortable, but every time you get a break, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.559 just drop the cone of silence on him and sneak 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:45.640 past it. Um. But my comment on the great Bill Walton, 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.640 who is a national treasure and a UCLA legend. I 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.920 thought i'd give you my commentary from my favorite commentary 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.600 piece from him, and that is Pacers versus Lakers, two 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.960 thousand NBA Finals. Um Shack is dominating. He's averaging like 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.199 thirty eight per game and obliterating Rick Smiths in the 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.640 pot in the process, who also happened to be Dutch. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.000 And Bill yells out, this guy can't guard Shock. It's 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.360 like he's trying to defend him, all wearing wooden shoes 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:17.920 out there. Thank you, Jesse. Um I put the cone 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.320 of silence down on Todd, you know what I mean. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.720 I know it's such a great angle from from this 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.480 vantage point too, because all you could see is the material. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.400 Oh I know, but he freaks out, can't breathe can't breathe. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.320 The walls close again, I know. I just like, I 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.480 just wanted to see if it worked in the elevator. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.240 I just wanted to see if it worked. By the way, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.960 there was a football game yesterday and I enjoyed it. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.080 It was far more entertaining than I thought it was 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.040 going to be, far more competitive. I think that's probably 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.080 because the Steelers dropped a lot of balls there, and 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.520 I root for RG three because of what he once 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.199 was and he's never gonna get there again. He got 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.200 yesterday again. He wants to be a pocket passer, but 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.000 you got to put in the time to become a 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.959 pocket passer because he's not a guy who's gonna be 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.120 able to beat your consistency consistently with his legs. He's 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:16.360 just not. And you know, Trace McSorley is probably a 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.040 better quarterback than RG three, and he's the third string 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.000 quarterback there, but I wanted to. I was hoping that 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.840 he would have a couple of plays because he did 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.840 that that rookie year. That was different. That was he 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.760 was Lamar Jackson before Lamar Jackson. He was Kyler Murray 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.880 before Kyler Murray. Here is Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.400 coach after the victory, to be bluntly honest, but a 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.560 really disappointed and our performance tonight. We did enough to win, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.800 but that's all. It was really junior varsity, to be 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.600 quite honest with you, and it was in all three phases. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.760 We couldn't run the ball effectively when we needed to. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.440 We dropped too many significant passes very catchable, makeable passes. 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.200 We didn't make significant plays in the special team's game. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.400 A kick off coverage Junior wasn't good enough. We turned 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:06.400 the damn ball over. Is good to proceed with the victory. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.480 I acknowledge that, but not a lot happened tonight to 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.920 be proud of, but to will be excited about. Other 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:17.560 than that. The Steelers are the thirteenth team in the 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.680 Super Bowl era to start out eleven and oh. Of 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:25.080 the previous twelve, nine reached the Super Bowl five one. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:29.280 It no AFC team has opened up eleven and oh 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:34.280 since the O nine Colts. We talked about this before, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.440 more likely to have a winless team or an undefeated team. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.480 I think the Jets. Now, what happens if New England 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.560 in the last game of the season. Doesn't New England 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.560 play the Jets in the last game of the season. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.960 Let's just say you're Bill Belichick. You're going to be 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.440 still coach of the Patriots for I don't know how 0:15:54.440 --> 0:16:00.800 many years. And you decide now is when Brian Hoyer 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.520 is going to start a game, We're gonna or Jared Stidham, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.560 whoever it might be. Because you'd like for the Jets 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.360 to win, so you don't face Trevor Lawrence for the 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:16.560 next couple of years. Put Julian Edelman in their quarterback, right, Polly, 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.920 I'm down with that, okay. I you know, I deal 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.360 with conspiracy theories occasionally, and I'm just wondering that, like 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:30.480 Bill Belichick thinks of everything, he's diabolical. Would he actually 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.320 tank a game without officially tanking a game to make 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:42.160 sure that the Jets don't get Trevor Lawrence. I don't know. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.200 If you're Belichick now, he might go Doud de manor 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.480 who's quarterbacking for them? You're gonna face Trevor Lawrence for 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.040 the next X number of years as long as you're 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.920 gonna be a head coach. Would he actually trot out 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:05.840 his second string, third string team? Yeah, Paul, I actually 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.280 have a hot take up and sitting on a week 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.960 I think that somehow Sam Darnolds would be the next 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.720 Patriots quarterback. Well. I brought that up a couple of 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.199 weeks ago, and then I had it shot down quickly 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.080 by NFL scout. Who goes, how do you think the 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.959 Jets are going to let him go to New England? 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.119 I go, I don't. I don't know. I just thought 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.800 maybe that I could see Sam Darnold in Pittsburgh or 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:32.320 San Francisco. But I can't imagine the Jets would trade 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:37.919 him within the division to the Patriots. Yes, it's the 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.480 best offer, though, um well, if I'm the Jets, I 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.000 don't want to trade him in the division. Yes. Time. 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.920 Bill Belichick has too much probabe not to try to 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.200 win every time, especially a division rival, especially if there's 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.920 any possibility that anyone would think that you're trotting after 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.680 the less than your best team, where it could even 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.320 be perceived that he's looking to maybe blow this game. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.360 I have to time. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.320 McLevin I called it a few weeks ago. If they 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.560 win this week, they're six and six. The Patriots are 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.920 coming to the playoffs. He's going to force a week 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.960 eighteen somehow and get in. Is the eighteen. But they're 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.000 saying if they beat the Rams and the Chargers, they're 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.080 I think they're going to be like the seventh seed. Yeah, 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.040 every game is a field goal one way or the other, 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.560 so you never know. Coastal Carolina was going to play 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.720 Liberty this weekend. That game has been canceled Coastal Carolina 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.400 is now playing hosting BYU. BYU only has one other 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.240 game schedule, that's San Diego State December twelve. BYU hasn't 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.440 played since November twenty first, their ranked thirteenth and the 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.360 latest college football playoff rankings and looking for a quality win. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:46.760 This still is not going to move them up on 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.040 the doorstep of playing for a national championship, but I 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.760 commend them for trying. We'll take a break. More phone 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.720 calls coming up, and the Hall of Famer Bill Walton 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.920 will join us coming up next twenty after the hour 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:03.560 here on the Dan Patrick Show. Imagine the happiest you've 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.679 ever been in l double it. That's what Todd was 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.960 like yesterday when he had a built bar. The bars 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.679 are great, and the kicker is guilt free, like one 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.920 hundred thirty calories guilt free, twenty grams of protein, four 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.000 net carbs guilt free. I know what you're thinking. So 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.320 it's pretty good for a protein bar. No, not just 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.320 good for a protein bar. You're gonna crave it more 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.879 than your favorite candy bar. And what's great. Yesterday I 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:32.120 went to work out, obviously, I work out and grabbed 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.560 a built bar. So that kind of tied me over. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.560 And then I went and worked out killed it, and 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.159 then you know you're ready for lunch after that, or 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:43.080 maybe you just wait till dinner. Built Bar has eighteen flavors. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:47.760 You're gonna love the coconut almond, the mint brownie. Yes time, 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.679 it's raspberry, that's orange. It is like a crisp apple, 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.359 like an apple pie kind of thing. They got it 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.920 all figured out. Yep, you're gonna love it because if 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.719 Todd likes it, it's like Mikey with cheerios. He likes it. 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.320 He likes it. That commercials very old. If I would 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:02.639 have said, they take why don't we keep it in 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.919 the century Builtbar dot com promo CODDP get twenty percent 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.000 off your order.

I've had a 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.359 lot of conversations with Bill Walton, and one of my 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.080 favorites we did um we look back on an NBA 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.440 game at NBA Entertainment in New Jersey. This is many, 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.680 many years ago, and I was driving into New York 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.600 City and Bill said, can I can I hit your 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.359 ride now? I was driving a Jetta at the time, 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.920 and Bill sat in the front seat. And Bill, who's 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.000 actually not six to eleven, he always wanted to be 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.960 listed a six eleven. He's probably seven two. And his 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.879 knees were up over the dashboard and Bill says, what 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.240 kind of tunes do you have? And I had eight 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.320 track cassette tapes or eight track tapes, and I had 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.560 Bob Dylan's greatest hits. And then Bill sang all the 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.560 way through the Lincoln Tunnel or whatever it was, what 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.880 Jersey Tunnel as we were heading into New York City. 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.600 One of my favorite memories the Hall of Famer Bill 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.840 Walton joining us on the program Good Morning Bill. The 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:35.639 street to row, We're filled with the are everywhere. You know, 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:40.240 we'll stink that we're seeing double on this beautiful fall 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.159 day on planet, or I'm alive. I'm married to Lorian 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.840 and I'm talking with Dan Patrick. And that's the coolest 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.280 desk I've ever seen. I'm a big bubble head guy. 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:54.320 I'm a big collector of stuff like that, but I 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.800 have never seen anything quite that. And I said, maybe 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.760 if I blink a few times, I can even absorb 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.840 more of it right through this screen. Well, you gave 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.520 me some merchandise. I have one of your jerseys. I 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:10.199 have an autographed basketball. I also have a picture that 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.080 you autographed. I believe this your first NBA game. Your 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.120 first NBA game was against Kareem abdul Jabbar in Dayton, Ohio, 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.639 when Kareem was with the Bucks erect and Don Nelson 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.879 had just stepped down as a player, and he was 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.920 a Don Nelson an incredible entrepreneur of business, visionary guy, 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.040 and he was the promoter of the game. And I 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.840 had just graduated from the UCLA. Kareem went to UCLA 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.480 and Don Nelson thought it would be a good idea. 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:41.600 It was a great idea for Karee. I had had 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:45.600 knee surgery about two weeks before and it did not 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:49.640 go well, but it was very well for from Kareem's 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.840 point of view. Who wasn't, without question, the greatest player 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.159 I ever played against and the standard of excellence that 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:00.480 still exists today. And I followed Bill out. He was 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.160 walking out in the parking lot. You had a red 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.159 and black flannel shirt. You had your hair back in 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:13.440 a ponytail. You had ponytail, and you had a bag 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.800 of nuts. You had a brown paper bag full of nuts. 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.400
