0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan. It's Dan Patrick Show.

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Glad to have you on board. Stay a while if

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you can. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk, we'll stop

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>by a little bit later on eight seven seven three

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>d P Show Email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Twitter handle at dp's show. We got a pull question

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>play of the day, Out of the day check in

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>with the Lakers. It'll be a little bit later on

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>as well. It's no secret the Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Murray wants a contract extension. We started yesterday's show talking

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>about Kyler Murray and his agent and what Tony Kornheiser

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>on pardon the interruption, liken to a ransom note. Basically, Hey,

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>if you want this quarterback, paid this amount of money

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll give him to you. His agent released

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>a statement that said actions speak louder than words and

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that the Cardinals should be rushing to extend their quote

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>rapidly improving quarterback end quote. Kyler's great talent, but rapidly

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>improving might be a stretch because he's had similar numbers

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>all three years in the league, and these are good numbers,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl numbers. But if actions speak louder than words,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>his performance in the playoffs certainly don't bilde well for him.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Because Murray completed fifty five percent of his passes, no touchdowns,

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>two interceptions versus the Rams in the wild card game.

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Actions speak louder than words. If you're going to pay

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback forty five million dollars a year, you need

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 1>to show up in big games and or at least

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>have an overall winning record, which he doesn't. Now, the

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals aren't going to get rid of Kyler Murray, I

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think, but it does put them in an interesting

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>position because if Kyler Murray, let's say you play this

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>out one more year before you pay him. But let's

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>say he doesn't improve. Let's say he gives you twenty

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>five touchdowns, ten interceptions, rushes for seven hundred yards. That's

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>what he does. Those are good numbers. Those aren't great numbers,

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>but those are good numbers. I want to see if

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>they advance in the playoffs, because really that's the key,

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>because he might be a Russell Wilson type quarterback where

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to have big numbers, but he's going

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to be dangerous. He's going to be daring, game on

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 1>the line. That's the guy you want. He can beat

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you with his arm and his legs. But you start

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to make these kind of demands and I would wait

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>and I'd wait it out. Now, you might upset him

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 1>or his agent, But what if what if he doesn't

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>give me a great year? What if he underwhelms, then

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I can move on a little bit easier. In the

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>fan base will probably say, yeah, he's not worth the headache.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I do like Kyler Murray. I think he's he has

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the potential to be a great player. But I think

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that there is there's a polarizing aspect of him. And

0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can look at this and say he's immature,

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>he's young, he's twenty four, but he's being a businessman.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna be a businessman, then you have to

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.959
<v Speaker 1>be grown up. And I don't think that yesterday did

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>him any great service. You know, if his agent and

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray talked today, I want to know if they go, Yep,

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 1>we had a good day yesterday, because I don't think

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>they did. I think they had a bad day. Perception wise.

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But you have to think these things through. You have

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>to sit down and go, Okay, this is what we're

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>going to do. Okay, what kind of reaction do you

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to get. Oh, they'll probably be this

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of reaction from the media. What about the Cardinals. Oh,

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>they probably won't do anything. They won't say anything publicly. Okay,

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Well what if the media says that we're, you know,

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>holding him up for ransom? Well that's okay. But I

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you could go through this process and go, man,

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>we had a good day. Now we did talk about

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray. Then you start to dissect his career. You

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>start to look at what he does and doesn't do.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>You compare him to other quarterbacks, other quarterbacks who got

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>their contract a year earlier. And I understand that you

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>can say, Jared Goff, did he deserve it when he

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>went to the Super Bowl? Now, is he a franchise quarterback? No,

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>but he went to the Super Bowl, and I'll put

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that on the Rams. I don't know why they extended him,

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>but they did. Carson Wentz he got extended and I

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>think we thought he was going to be the MVP.

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen got his contract extended. Patrick Mahomes a year early. Okay,

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I look at Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>in a different category than I do Kyler Murray. But

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray needs to prove in the playoffs. There are

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of great regular season quarterbacks. You know, Lamar Jackson.

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard a peep out of his camp. And

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson is far more worthy of a contract extension, right.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard anything with Lamar Jackson from his camp,

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Lamar or anybody. Now, is that going to get done? Yes?

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Like Baker Mayfield, I would not extend him. And this

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>is where you bet on yourself. If you're Kyler Murray,

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you just say, all right, I'm going to bet on myself.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if that's what he did yesterday,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>But Dak Prescott bet on himself. And if you are

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that good, then bet on yourself. Because Kyler Murray wants

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>it now, well, I'm still not sure if I want

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 1>to give you forty five million dollars a year. And

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I know that sounds strange because that's the going rate.

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I just can't wrap my head around everybody. The next

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>guy up gets this kind of money. Is Kyler Murray,

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson, No, not everybody is Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>wants fifty and then his agents pointing out that you

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>got broadcasters are making twenty million. Josh Allen deserves the money.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes deserves the money. I guess if you want

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.119
<v Speaker 1>to say somebody deserves fifty million dollars, Hell, we're paying

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>John Wall forty two million dollars to not play basketball.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's sound like you go, man, the Packers going

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>out to pay Aaron Rodgers fifty million. Yeah, and that's

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the going rate for great players. Kyler Murray's not in

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>that category, but he's the next guy up. I would

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>be waiting to see what Lamar Jackson gets and then

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe that helps your case, maybe you get more money

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>out of this. But I'd be betting on myself. But

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine that they thought that it was going

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to be a great, great day yesterday with that strategy,

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, here, Chefty report this and then let's

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. Discuss eight forty five in the morning,

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody was all over this, and then what

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>happens is you start to look at the negatives of

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray or you start to downgrade him because of

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.679
<v Speaker 1>this approach. If nobody's saying anything about Lamar Jackson today,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>nobody's going, you know, I don't know if he's worth

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>forty five Kyler Murray. That's the discussion you're getting. You know,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is he worth that? No? And let's see what he

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>does in the playoffs. What kind of poll question do

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we have today? They're Seaton O'Connor. That actually is a

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>perfect springboard day our away. Yesterday's letter from Kyler Murray's

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>agent was best for Kyler or the Cardinals? Oh? Well,

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>was it best for the car I guess it's best

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>for the Cardinals if they get to the point where

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>they want to move on from him. I don't know

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>if this helps in the negotiations other than I mean,

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, is he humbled by this and all of

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a sudden he goes, you know what, second thought? I

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's get a team friendly contract here. I

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there's anything that they look back and go,

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, this is going to change our approach here?

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't see that, So I don't know

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>what it means for the Cardinals. That they're going to

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>get him for a cheaper rate, or they get a

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit more of a Hall pass if they decided

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>not to extend him. What else do you have seedon? Well,

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>there's another bombshell story that's just been rocking the sports landscape.

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Did the Packers deliberately snub Aaron Rodgers on the UK promo? Yes? No?

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, okay. So the Packers are going to play

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in London and they hadn't played there, and they were

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>going to recreate the Abbey Road photo with the Beatles

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and have four players walking across the cross squad. Where

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>did they get that idea from? Yeah? Yeah, And so

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you have a coach and four players back

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>TR's on there, No Davante Adams, no Aaron Rodgers, And

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>now all of a sudden, it's like, what's that mean?

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine that the green Bay Packers front office

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 1>didn't know about this because of the sensitivity level when

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you attach Aaron Rodgers to this. I can't imagine that

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody goes, hey, who did the promo for the London game? Oh,

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Lipper and Tommy Snell, you know, are two twenty

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>five year old intern like, I don't think that happens

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>like this. I don't think you have that where you

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>go just slap some guys together. Nobody's going to be

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>reading into this. I would if I'm the Packers, I

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>would go into it with the approach of we want

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Davonte and Aaron on our team. We expect them, we

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>hope they're there, like we're thinking positive things here not

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, do we put him in there? Do

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we not? I would go under the assumption Aaron Rodgers

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>is under contract and we want him here and we're

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>planning on him being here. But to leave Rogers and

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Adams out of the tweet for the London game, I mean,

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's a topic for McAfee today with Rogers

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Hey, or do you feel snubbed by this?

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>You know nothing that maybe one hundred million dollar her

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>contract couldn't if you can fix Aaron, Sorry about the

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>London snub. Here's two years, one hundred million dollars. Okay,

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll get over it. Yeah, Davante I could see leaving

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>out because he's a free agent. Yeah, so he's not

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>even technically on the team. I guess I'm not exactly

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>sure how that works, but he's a free agent. But Aaron,

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it's still I don't know, it's crazy, all right. Do

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you think they should have put Aaron Rodgers in that picture?

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Paulie should have? Okay, yeah, you should have because it's

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the clearest star on the team, Fritzie, just his

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>sensitivity alone to everything Rodgers is recent enough to incorporate

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>him somewhere and yeah, seton, No, I don't think they

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>should have because he's doing everything about it's this grand

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>unknown mystery, the illusion of if I'll be back. I

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know where will I be. We have to watch it,

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 1>see like, okay, dude, then we're not going to put

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you in the thing A big deal. I mean you

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>could have Aaron Rodgers. I'm not a Beatles fan, Marv.

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that the Packers should have put him

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in there yet? Sensitivity? Yeah? Yeah, paul Why not do

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>a separate post after this with Aaron Rodgers and the

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Queen of England. They're standing there at the castle. They're

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.319
<v Speaker 1>both single, you know, they're ball who knows well. I

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think she's in good shape right now, you know,

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>sensitivities for the Queen, you know, I gotta worry about

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the queen too if I put her in there. Man

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>sensitivity level Amber alert, Davante Adams, I get, But I

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>still would have put him in there, just to say, like,

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not where we're gonna go at the start of

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the season. Oh can you believe that they put him

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>in the picture and they're not even on the Packers anymore.

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that there's gonna be other things to

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about. Then you left Aaron Rodgers out of a picture.

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 1>I think Packers fans in London will very upset. The

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>hottest rookies, biggest superstars, the old time greats. Only one

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>place to collect him all Pannini Trading Cards, the official

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>trading cards of the DP show, Instant classics, autograph cards,

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Member Billy cards, rare inserts and more. Starter Continued collection

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>now at Panini America dot net. What's Kyler Murray's rookie

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>card going for? Curious? I don't know. I don't know

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>how this goes with the value of the I was

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>wondering about job morants, you know, trading cards now, rookie

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 1>card something like that. You know. Two years ago this

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>week we did a poll question and it was if

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you could redraft this is two years ago. Would you

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>take Zion or Job Morant, both rookies, and you know

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Zion wasn't staying in the lineup, He wasn't consistently healthy.

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Job was playing, but you know he's playing in obscurity

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>with Memphis. Now Memphis is the number three seed and Zion,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>although marketing wise, is a bigger name obviously, but John Morant,

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>John Morand is making a case for MVP this year.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Now you can say, what, well, there are three seed

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and I could look at Damarta Rosen with what the

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Bulls have done Joel Mbat. I mean, there's there's a

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>few players that you can put in there. But John

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Morant deserves to be in there. When you think about it.

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Ja's third season, so he's twenty two average in twenty

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 1>seven six and six. Zion last year at age twenty

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>average twenty seven seven and four. And I know when

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this, I talked about John Morant. If

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I look at this bigger picture, wise has a better

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>chance of being more consistent and staying healthy. Zion could

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>give you highlights, but his highlights aren't anywhere near what

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>John Morants are now because two years ago, it felt like,

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, Zion was the highlight guy. Then John Morant

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>was the guy who got one scholarship offer. And now

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at this. That's when I look at these

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>rankings when they go like, oh, just side a five

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>star recruit there, you missed out. Somebody missed out. A

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people missed out on John morand Murray State.

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And that was by accident. You know, guys were scouting

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody and they saw John Moran playing a three on

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>three game at a basketball camp. So the scout's not

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>even there to see John Moran, He's there to see

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. He goes get a snack. All of a sudden,

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>he looks over and sees this kid in a three

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>on three game and going, who's that? And that's how

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I ended up at Murray State. But that's why when

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I look at these guy, man, he's great. Now, Zion

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>was worth the hype. I just you know, this season

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>is really gonna be We're gonna look back on this

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>season and go, you know what, like Michael Jordan when

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>he broke his foot and you thought, oh, you know,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the way he plays, is he going to have problems

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>with this? Derrick Rose when he got hurt. Is he

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna have problems with this? Well? Derreck Rose did have

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>problems with it, Michael Jordan did not. I think we're

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna look back on this with Zion and go man.

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>That could have ended his career or severely limited him.

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But unless he turns into Joel and Bead here, No,

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and Bead started slow those first two years. Now he's

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe the leading candidate for the MVP. But does Zion

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>even want to be in New Orleans? And as I

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>said a couple of months ago, this is really really

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>concerning it and it has been and he probably won't

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>play this year. All Right, we'll take a break, We'll

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>get phone calls coming up, we'll settle on our poll question.

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that what we're gonna go with? Seaton? You want

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to go with the rerun the one from two years ago? No? No, no,

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to go with Kyler Murray. Okay, because I'm

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask Florio about you know what, what was the

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>logic behind all of this? And did Kyler Murray and

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>his agent accomplish what they set out to do? Well?

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:02.040

<v Speaker 1>summer and when she finished it, she said, this is

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>really going to piss a lot of people off. And

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's nothing that I haven't said or written before.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just all collected in one spot. So anybody has

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a problem with it, it's their problem, because it's my

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>honest assessment of the way the NFL operates in. The

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL is the greatest product from a sports standpoint, in

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the country, if not on the planet, because no matter

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:30.360
<v Speaker 1>what it does by way of making missteps, unforced errors, controversy, scandals,

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 1>things that have been mishandled from a business standpoint, still

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>making more money than anything else, still gathering a live

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>audience like nothing else, it almost has to try to

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 1>impede its progress, and even if it tries, it's still

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>going to continue to grow and grow and grow. Dan

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But I remember when Mark Cuban came out and said,

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you know that the NFL has got to be careful,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you know when you're had on Thursday night football, And

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he was talking about hogs get fat and

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:02.959
<v Speaker 1>get slaughtered. Can you see an oversaturation at any point

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>with the NFL. I remember that, well, pigs could get fat,

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>hogs get slaughtered, and for a while I was concerned

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 1>about that. But I just think our appetite for football

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 1>has not yet reached the point where anyone would say, Okay,

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>that's enough. We always want more, no matter how much

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 1>more we get, we want more. The transition to Thursday

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>was a little clunky, and there were concerns about it

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>from a health standpoint, and those are real concerns, and

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>there were players who complained about it. Richard Sherman called

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>it a poop fest one I'm an all time favorite

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>quotes from any player. But you know what, the NFL

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 1>just keeps its head down, keeps going. And now Thursday

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>night is baked in to the schedule. We would be

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.879
<v Speaker 1>feeling as if something's off if we didn't have Thursday

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>night football. And you just have to wonder as the

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>season continues to grow, and I think eighteen games is

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>just a matter of time, will they look for other

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>windows Tuesday night, Wednesday night at what else will they do?

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Because Dan with legalized gambling is gonna this bus. They're

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>going to look for ways to have more one game

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>at a time that millions can watch and bet on,

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>not just the bigger wagers, one play at a time.

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.160
<v Speaker 1>The technology that will beam the games into our houses,

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>so as we're watching it, it's exactly what's happening at

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the stadium. We get forty seconds between plays to make

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>our next bet. It basically becomes a casino that invade

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>your home whenever there's a game on. So I think

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going to expand the season, and they're going to

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>spread out the windows so people can tune in from

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>more of these games, so those opportunities for people to

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>bet will be maximized. Could you see us exporting the

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.679
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl in the next decade. I'd be stunned if

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.959
<v Speaker 1>it happens. I think they like to talk about it

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>from time to time. I think it's part of the

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 1>teas that the NFL engages in with the UK, just

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to get them thinking, well, maybe someday we'll have the

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I mean, how can you How can you

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>play the super Bowl at eleven thirty pm local time kickoff?

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>How could you do that? That's what they would have

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to do if they're going to play a super Bowl

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in London at some point. Now, the average American fan,

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. It looks the same on the TV.

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>All the London games look the same. It's no big deal.

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>The fans or more aren't going to ever go to

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a super Bowl in their lifetime. They're watching it on TV.

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.959
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter where it's played. But I think I

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:29.199
<v Speaker 1>think that the allure of that helps grow the sport internationally,

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and before you get to a point where a super

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Bowl is played in a place like London, you'd have

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to have a team there, and I think that continues

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to be this vague promise that's on the table, and

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I think there would be two teams. They got two

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 1>NFL stadiums, and I think if there was ever one

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 1>team in London, there'd be two teams in London. All right,

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 1>let me get to the poll question today seton would

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you give Mike Florio the wording on our poll question today?

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday's letter from Kyler Murray's agent was best for the

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals or Kyler is there a sea? Neither. I mean,

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it really helps anybody, But it's how

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 1>about this the rest of us? Because it allows the

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 1>rest of to understand what's really going on here, these

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 1>vague reports we've seen in recent weeks, Kyler Murray taking

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the team off of his social media platforms, the Chris

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Mortenson report from Super Bowl Sunday about Kyler being self centered,

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 1>immature and finger pointing. Here's the problem, Dan. It used

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to be if you were a quarterback who did well

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 1>enough to earn a second contract, the default was you

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>became the next highest paid player in league history, and

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it would go up about a half million per year

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.400
<v Speaker 1>for each guy, and that went on for six, seven,

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>eight guys. In the past two or three years, that's changed.

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 1>You've got a fifteen million dollars per year spread from

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 1>number one down to number ten. So yeah, the Cardinals

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>want to sign the guy, but what do they want

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 1>to pay him. They want to pay closer to thirty

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe, than forty five. And his agent, Eric Burkhard,

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>who also represents Cliff Kingsbury, which makes it even more

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 1>awkward for the team. Burkhard, it's going to walk closer

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to forty five, if not more. And one of the

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>points Burkhart made recently in response to the notion that

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers deserves fifty million, if not more, When you

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>have announcers making twenty million a year, when Pat McAfee's

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>getting thirty million a year from Fandel, there's money in

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the system to support more for the guys who are

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>actually playing the game. And I think that's where we're

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 1>going to see this going. Murray's going to be the

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 1>first test case of how much Burkhart tries to get

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and how much the Cardinals are willing to pay. I

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard anything about Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson is far

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>more worthy of an extension than Kyler Murray is. Well,

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:42.239
<v Speaker 1>here's the problem. Lamar Jackson decided, for whatever reason, and

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>this is an individual personal decision that players need to make.

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>He's decided to not have an agent. And when you

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 1>make that decision, yes, you are going to save the one,

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>two or three percent moms still representing him. Well yeah,

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know, here's the problem. There's really no one

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>who's engaging with the Ravens. The Ravens were ready to

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.120
<v Speaker 1>sign him last year, but no one from Lamar's camp

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>would engage them in real, meaningful negotiations aimed at getting

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a contract done. And if anything, you could argue his

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>injuries last year and his overall performance last year may

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>have may have damaged his leverage. And now they have

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a guy in Tyler Huntley that he's not Lamar Jackson,

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>but he can run the same offense, and dollar for

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>dollar for what it would take to keep Huntley around

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 1>versus what it's going to take to make Jackson happy.

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Once they find out what that is, that that's the reality.

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 1>And when Josh Allen did his deal, damn same draft

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>class forty three million a year, When I saw the

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>details of that deal, because I knew when I saw

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the initial report. Once I see the details, I'm gonna

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>know do the Ravens want to do this same deal

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with Jackson or does Jackson want this deal? As soon

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>as I read it and understood the details, this is

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.199
<v Speaker 1>a deal Jackson should want. So all he had to

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>do was going to Erica, to the GM of the

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>team and say, let's take the Josh Allen contract. Let's

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 1>scratch out Buffalo Bills and put in Ravens. Scratch out

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen, put in Lamar Jackson. Let's just do that.

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>That's what they should have done, and it would have

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.199
<v Speaker 1>been in both sides interest because it's awkward for the

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Ravens to not have an agent to talk to because

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 1>when there isn't an agent, you know, sometimes you gotta

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>speak some hard truths in the negotiation. They can't do

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that with Lamar Jackson. They risk alienating him if they

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tell him why you know, they don't want to pay

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.399
<v Speaker 1>him fifty million a year. So it's a tough spot

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.119
<v Speaker 1>for everyone. But I feel bad for Jackson because he

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>should have his deal by now, and because he's decided

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.479
<v Speaker 1>to go without an agent. He doesn't have it. I

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't have an agent for a long time. And when

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>you sit down with I sat down with Dick Eversaul,

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's one of the legendary sports figures in this business.

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>And he couldn't do it. He said, I I can't

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>have these conversas I'd never done this where I have

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.479
<v Speaker 1>the conversation about a contract with the person, not an agent.

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And he passed it off to, you know, the guy

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>underneath him, who had no problem been telling me some

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 1>of my limitations there. But he couldn't do it. He

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.479
<v Speaker 1>just said, no, it's too awkward there. And I just

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>remember walking out of his office and my wife said,

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>how did it go? I said, he couldn't have a

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 1>conversation with me about it. He had never done something

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>like that. The NFL offseason, the overtime rule, the competition committee.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 1>To me, it feels like this is there's a logical

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>endgame here and it's just both teams get a chance

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>to have the ball. And maybe it's just in the postseason,

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know how you modify this, you know,

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>how do you tweak it? But it feels like, hey,

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 1>you score a touchdown, we still get a chance, and

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.160
<v Speaker 1>then everybody's going to be happy. Here. Is it as

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>simple as that, Mike, It really is. Dan And in

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the days up to the Super Bowl and we had

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the five hour pregame show and I had to go

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>shake the trees to try to have something to actually,

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, talk about when they put the camera on

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 1>me and said go. One of the things I tried

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to delve into was what's going to happen with postseason overtime?

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's as of three weeks ago, it's more of

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>a matter of which way is the wind blowing, but

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it was blowing in this direction. Guaranteed possession for each team,

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>no gimmicks, nothing different than just playing football, but it

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>would be in the postseason only. Now the Cults have

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>proposed a change that would apply postseason and regular season.

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're going to touch regular season. They

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to extend the games in the regular season.

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'd be fine with them going back to

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>straight sudden death in the regular season just to get

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the game over with and let the teams get ready

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for the next week. And I won't be surprised if

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that happens at some point. But for the postseason, you

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>got to guarantee a possession to each team. You can't

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 1>have these results, not with the rules so skewed toward offense.

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>The just play defense argument doesn't work in twenty twenty two.

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>It may have worked in nineteen eighty two, it doesn't

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>work now because the rules are too conducive, and when

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you get to the postseason, you've got the best quarterbacks,

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.239
<v Speaker 1>they're more likely to drive down the length of the

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 1>field and score a touchdown and walk off the winner.

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's gonna end up being a guaranteed

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>possession and a great strategic decision to be made by

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the team that matches. You're down seven, you score, Do

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you go for two and the win or the loss?

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Or do you go for one and then kick off

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>knowing it's now sudden death. He's Mike Florio, Pro Football

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:33.360
<v Speaker 1>You had the Sean Payton Tom Brady's story on Pro

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Football Talk, and the Dolphins were interested in coupling these

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>two guys. When did this story emerge like how close

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>was this to fruition? Well, I first heard about it

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>even before Sean Payton resigned from the Saints, and it's

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>something that's been lingering and building, and we got to

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a point last week where we thought there was enough

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 1>there to report responsibly, not to be confused with my

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 1>usual irresponsible reports, that the Dolphins were indeed planning to

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>make a run at a package deal of Peyton and Brady,

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Flores lawsuit killed it. Now. I don't know

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>who decided to pull the plug. It's very easy to

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>say the Dolphins realized we can't do this. Now, we

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>can't do this this, you know, wink nods set everything

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>up ahead of time, Get Sean Payton, get Tom Brady.

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>We can't do that. Given the content and the allegations

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and the gravity the Brian Flores lawsuit. It's also possible

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the league said you can't do that. And you know,

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of heard rumors along those lines, but can't

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>substantiate that the league intervened and said to the Dolphins,

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't do it. And Dan. One thing that fascinates me,

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm trying to find out the answer to this question,

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 1>how much of the Brian Flores lawsuit, for example, the

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>allegation in there that he was pressured by Stephen Ross,

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.959
<v Speaker 1>the owner of the team, to meet with a prominent

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in violation of the rules, and everybody knows it

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>was Tom Brady back in twenty twenty. How much of

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the lawsuit was aimed at putting the kai bosh on

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:07.479
<v Speaker 1>the Peyton Brady coupling in Miami. If Flores knew it

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>was coming, if he'd caught wind of it, did his

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit in part? Was it written in part, drafted in

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>part timed in part to keep the Dolphins from doing it.

0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>That's something I'm trying to find out. But that's fascinating.

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>If Flores just decided, you know what, screw these guys.

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>They violated my rights. They fired me when I should

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>have continued to be there. They tried to get me

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to do things that they shouldn't have expected me to do,

0:30:31.920 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and they got mad at me because of it. They

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>got this grand plan for twenty twenty two. This lawsuits

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>going to keep that plan from coming to Fruition'd be

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>fascinating if that was part of why Flores said what

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>he said and did what he did. When he did it.

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:49.280
<v Speaker 1>You're going Oliver Stone there on me. Listen, there's all, Hey,

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>we know this league well enough to know there's always

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 1>something going on behind the curtain. That's why we love it.

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.479
<v Speaker 1>But you've been on this story before anybody, and that

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is Tom Brady to the forty nine ers. And it

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>feels like it's been at least a year, maybe a

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of years where you've toyed with it or thrown

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>it out there or rumor innuendo. Can you still see

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady playing again? And if so, is it for

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the forty nine ers? Oh? Absolutely? And I gotta get

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Sim's credit. He's the one that first brought that to

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>fruition a couple of years ago, that Brady wanted to

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>play for the forty nine ers when he was a

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>free agent after leaving a Patriots or while he was

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in the process of doing so. In the forty nine

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>ers said no, thank you, okay, good luck, good luck

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 1>with Jimmy Garoppolo. And I think the forty nine ers

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>would admit that they probably have a Super Bowl trophy

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.640
<v Speaker 1>or two if they had gone with Tom Brady instead

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of Jimmy g But I think that Tom Brady, especially

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 1>after this Sean Payton, Miami Dolphins, Tom Brady thing. I

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's retired Dan. I think he's retired from

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers. That's what I think the retirement was. I

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>think he's trying to find a graceful exit from Tampa Bay.

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 1>He got a Super Bowl win last year, they took

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a step back, and now I think he is eyeing

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a place where he walks through the door with the

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 1>deck stacked in his favor. And what place other than

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco give Trey Lance another season to sit. You

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>walk into a team that's super Bowl ready, that is

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>dangerous defensively, that has great weapons. Offensively, you got a

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback who can make big throws in big spots. The

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>forty nine has become a shortlist super Bowl favorite if

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady ends up there. The question is how much

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of a fight will the Buccaneers put up if he

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>decides in junior July that he wants to leave. And

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I would say they owe it to him to give

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>him what he wants. He brought a Super Bowl trophy

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to a team that had no business being in the

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl, and he filled the stadium last year. I

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think they should work with him and give him what

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he wants, if that's what he wants to do. But

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I think he's coming back. I just think he's trying

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to find a way out of Tampa. Are you willing

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to bet on that? How much like a pie to

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the face? Oh, a pine of the face? I mean

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:57.719
<v Speaker 1>pine of the face is nothing. It depends. I mean

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>unless it's like, you know, an acid pie. No, no, no,

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>pie of your choice. Anybody want to take Florio up

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>on a pie to the face Polly? Polly will say

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that Brady does not not come back. Just the Niners.

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking right, Just the Niners. I'll do it. Okay,

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>So pie to the face Florio? Wait week one, Niners.

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 1>If he's on the Niners, who takes a pie to

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the face? Polly does? Polly does? And if he's not

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Niners and I take the pie of it? Yes, okay,

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you come on the show and maybe your wife can

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>administer or Chris Sims could administer a pie to the face. Yeah,

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it may have to be a virtual parte of the face.

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you my wife would very much enjoy

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the assignment. Yes, he's slamming a pine to my face. Yes,

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Week one is a very important part

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>of this bet Why because couldn't you see town Brady

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:50.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe like somewhere later in the season joining I you know,

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 1>nothing Brady does is you know, by accident. Like everything

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 1>is structured, everything is planned out. I don't think he's

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna go you know, maybe I'll join them week six.

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think if he's planning, then he's planning now and

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 1>he would be there. He would want to be there

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Week one. Last thing you want to do is all

0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Trey Lanz plays well and then you

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>get Brady and you're like, why do we get Brady?

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lanz is here, pie to the face. I like that.

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh I gotta ask you because everybody has breathlessly been

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about this that Aaron Rodgers wasn't in the London

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>promo for the Packers in the abbey Road picture. There.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Where do you stand on this, Mike? I think if

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you take the original twelve inch vinyl Abbey Road and

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 1>put it on track three of side one and run

0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 1>it backwards, it says Aaron Rodgers is staying in Green Bay.

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.760
<v Speaker 1>They had no idea how prescient they were. Oh my god,

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>we got to be finding out here soon doesn't feel

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.879
<v Speaker 1>like today with McAfee, he announces what he can stay.

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.359
<v Speaker 1>I think, look, when the news comes out that they're

0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>working on a contract, why are you working on a

0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 1>contract if you're not staying? And it's smart for him

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to work out the contract before he gives him an answer,

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's got leverage. If he says I'm coming back now,

0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 1>let's work out a contract, they've there's no leverage left

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to be had, and it's like, you know they this

0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>report that he's once fifty million dollars a year to

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>me is not surprising like you've talked about. If I'm

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the Packers, I just say, I'm going to call your bluff.

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Here's two years, one hundred million dollars guarantee. That's it

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:21.359
<v Speaker 1>ball game. And there's no owner in Green Bay that's

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>siphoning off millions to go buy a super yacht. They

0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 1>can invest every penny they make back in the team.

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And they've raised like seventy million through their non stock

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>stock sale. They can do this easily. I think he's

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:34.800
<v Speaker 1>going to stay Dan. Where else is he going to

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>go and have a team around him like what he

0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:39.200
<v Speaker 1>has in Green Bay? He's not gonna walk in somewhere

0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 1>else and be a Super Bowl winner. His best chance

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>is to stay in a division where the Bears have

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a new GM and coach. The Vikings have a new

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>GM and coach. The Lions are in year two of

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 1>their latest reboot. The schedule is favorable this year. They

0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>could be the number one seed again. The question is

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:53.840
<v Speaker 1>can they finish the job and get to the Super Bowl.

0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Great to talk to you is always, and good luck

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 1>with the book. Thanks Dan. That's Mike Florio Pro Football

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Talk and the book is called Playmakers. It sounds March fifteenth.

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I got an autograph copy. I didn't know he autographed

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it until I had Paulie look at it. That was

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of awkward. It's like, Florio, you sent me a book,

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:14.359
<v Speaker 1>you did an autograph because I did. Oops. I had

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:17.319
<v Speaker 1>to go back and yeah he did. All right, we'll

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:19.760

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:13.799
<v Speaker 1>play with John Morant last night? Adams baseball pass one

0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of two Morant catches mine. Is he alright? Mid air?

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He caught in midair? He floated it up and end.

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 1>You have got to be kidding me. John Morant is

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>at an absolutely another level. A baseball pass caught in midair,

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>predirected to the basket from twenty feet out. Oh my goodness,

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:39.840
<v Speaker 1>what are we witnessing? So that is a full court

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:43.760
<v Speaker 1>pass by Steven Adams to John Morant with four tenths

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of a second left in the first half. He catches

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it and shoots it from about fifteen feet and makes it.

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:56.879
<v Speaker 1>It was it was John Morant night last night. Yes,

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>there's this fun moment too where you could see it.

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Adams is taking the ball out, He's looking down court

0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and when you can see John Morant, he's pointing up

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like throw it up. Oh my god, it's you know

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta you gotta go out of your way to

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 1>find him with Memphis that they're not usually going to

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 1>be musty TV, but they're number three seed and he's

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>mussy TV. Paulie. We asked the question two years ago

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:27.960
<v Speaker 1>this week that if you could have Zion Williams that

0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or Jahn Morant, who would you take long term? And

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons we did the poll question that

0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they had checked my notes is that Zion was having

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>knee trouble and they were sitting him down for a

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>while when there was concern around his knee, and so

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.400
<v Speaker 1>he was playing well but not playing a lot. Eighty

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 1>two percent still would have redrafted taken Zion Williamson two

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>years ago this week. Yeah, I think I was in

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the Jah Morant camp. I think Zion because of name recognition,

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 1>but John Morand. But John Morant goes to the hoop

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like there's there's a Derek Rose feel to him that

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.319
<v Speaker 1>he is attacking. But he's a good shooter, and I

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:06.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's anybody who's scored more two point baskets

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 1>this year than John Morant, and he's becoming a better

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>outside shooter. I think it's thirty four percent from three

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.839
<v Speaker 1>point range. That's respectable because if you give me that

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.080
<v Speaker 1>dimension and you attacks like the Greek freak. If the

0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Greek freak is able to get thirty four percent of

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:26.799
<v Speaker 1>his three point shots, then it's over. Like nobody can

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:29.319
<v Speaker 1>guard him if you have that added element there. But

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:33.960
<v Speaker 1>John Morant what he does at age twenty two, twenty seven,

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.359
<v Speaker 1>six and six, you know this is a guy who

0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.520
<v Speaker 1>could lead the league in scoring, and you know that's

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:42.919
<v Speaker 1>a that's a walking highlight. His fifty two points broke

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the franchise record, which he's set. John Moran owns four

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:52.319
<v Speaker 1>of the team's top six scoring performances. Three of them

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>have come in the past two weeks. There, all right,

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a couple of phone calls in here. By the way,

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a leap year, is it, Polly? This is

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:06.960
<v Speaker 1>not we thought it was Todd. Todd put out February

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:08.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine. I did. When I set out the guest list,

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I put two twenty nine three one in court. Major confusion. Okay,

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 1>but this isn't a leap year. By the way, when

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.560
<v Speaker 1>when you celebrate your birthday in a leap year, you

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 1>celebrate it the twenty eighth or March first. When it's

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 1>not a leap year. How does that work the other

0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 1>three years? Yes, Todd, I would think you would celebrate

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it after the fact, like you know, like midnight the

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 1>next day, because you know, anything could happen to you

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to give it more. But I guess it's kind of

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a you know, a morbid way of looking at it,

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:38.359
<v Speaker 1>but like you know, live for that, you know, next day,

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 1>which would have normally been February twenty ninth. And then wait,

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I just asked when you celebrate, not that you might die,

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:46.799
<v Speaker 1>so you shouldn't celebrate your brother of the day before

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:48.839
<v Speaker 1>your birthday and say wait till it's your Actually, then

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I do it on the twenty eighth in case I die.

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:53.320
<v Speaker 1>You could look at it that, but I think on

0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to your fever officially locked into that, you've established yourself

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:59.760
<v Speaker 1>as that new age on midnight March. Yes, Polly, nothing

0:41:59.840 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is more annoying than people whose birthday is on leap

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.399
<v Speaker 1>here February twenty ninth. They think it's very much more

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>special than it is. They say, oh, I've only had

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>seven birthdays and I'm whatever age I am. I can't

0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 1>do the math, but you know that's I had a

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 1>kid grown up. I think I mentioned it at all

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>she would talk about, is it's not really my birthday?

0:42:15.800 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And oh that's that's the thing. Who's the most famous
