1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: In this Thursday Dan and The Dan Net's Dan Patrick Show.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: I got caught up in something else, another story at

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: the end of last hour, and I forgot to tell

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: you the story when I got punked on Sports Center

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: with Steve Bartman, and somebody who worked for The Howard

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: Stern Show, Captain Jenks, called up and said that he

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: was Steve Bartman. This was an exclusive. I was doing

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: the six o'clock Sports Center and I quickly realized that

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: I had been had by one of Howard Stern's friends

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: of the show, callers of the show, prankster Captain Jenks.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: So I'll have that for you coming up. I'll recap.

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: Paul goes up. We're going to talk about it. We

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: got to play the prank call and I go it's

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: painful to hear it.

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: You did nothing wrong.

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: It was still painful to hear it's live on live TV.

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: I was watching Thank You, Thank You stat of the Day.

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: It brought to you by Panini America, the official trading

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: cards of The Danatrick Show. The uh My Oilers One

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Last Night in Overtime with Leon Dry Sidle and this

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: is how it sounded. No, that's not the actual sound.

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: This is out of the part who sharp Hopkins?

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: Whither?

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: Where's the cam?

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: Game on?

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: All right? Yours might be better than Kenny Alberts call there,

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: you know, just saying yeah, Paul.

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: Just to clarify, See, on these calls you have to

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: have zibbity Bob.

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 5: I've a rehearse, usually just before he's about the score.

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 5: For some reason, I say zibit because it happened so quickly.

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: I don't know how you get all the names in there.

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: And then Seaton just.

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: It's like a jazz.

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: Dry.

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Some of these dudes are speaking so quickly, so fast.

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they're doing such a great job. But to me,

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't make out anything until you hear.

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 6: Se.

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Good morning if you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner,

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: download the app if you haven't done so, and we

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country.

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio Fox Sports Radio. Not to be confused with the

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Final. It's the NBA Finals tonight. Pacers at

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: the Thunder and the Thunder are nine and a half

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: point favorites. Tim McMahon ESPN reporter and he's the author

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: of The Wonder Boy, Luka Doncic and The Curse of Greatness.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: But he'll be covering the NBA Finals. Why is it

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Final and the NBA Finals?

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 7: Tim, Howdy, Dan, I am not qualified for any discus.

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna focus purely on basketball.

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: And wait, this is just grammar, Tim, this isn't just

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: as a writer. You're not qualified to talk about grammar.

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 7: Those editors.

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Pacers are overwhelming underdogs, historically large underdogs.

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 8: Why, I mean, the simple reason is because the thunder

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 8: are really really good. You know, the thunder are a

60
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 8: team that won sixty eight games this regular season with

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 8: the best point differential in NBA history. You know, obviously

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 8: they were challenged by the Nuggets in the second round,

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 8: but other than that, they've cruised through the playoffs. And

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 8: I mean this is they've had four thirty plus point

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 8: wins during the playoffs, something that's never happened in a

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 8: single postseason run. I don't think it's it's a disrespect

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 8: thing toward the Pacers. Obviously, the Pacers weren't a team

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 8: that people expected to see in the finals.

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 7: Got off to a slow start, they're four seed, they

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 7: earned their way here.

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 8: But I look at the odds more as a nod

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 8: to just have dominant the Thunder have been in any

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 8: kind of knock against the Pacers.

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: I think a lot of this, though, is brand awareness

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: that we look at the Pacers. People didn't watch the Pacers.

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: People are just you know, being introduced to the Pacers.

77
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: And really the same thing for OKC, because if I,

78
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: let's say I put the Knicks in there against OKAC,

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: would it be you know, would the odds to win

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: a championship be this large of a margin here? Would

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: we factor in the Knicks that somehow they're the Knicks,

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: they'd have a better chance than the Pacers.

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, I.

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 8: Maybe only because of the way the money works in Vegas,

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 8: but I don't think the Knicks would have had a

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 8: better chance to beat the Thunder.

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 7: I mean, the best team won that series in Indiana

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 7: versus New York.

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 8: That Knicks defense, that transition defense, it was getting just

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 8: obliterated by Tiers Haliburt and Pascal Siakam was not going

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 8: to stand up very well against the Thunder. You know,

92
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 8: sloppiest Knicks row with the ball that was going to

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 8: be a pretty big problem against the thunder, So maybe

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 8: the odds would have been better in the sense of gambling. Yeah,

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 8: in this sense of actually having a chance to win

96
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 8: the series, I would say absolutely not.

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Tom Thibodeau was fired because.

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 8: Because he is a polarizing figure internally, there was a

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 8: pretty large faction within that front office that wanted to

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 8: get him fired a while ago and finally got its way.

101
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 8: You know, if you're gonna fire a coach out for

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 8: a conference finals run, if you're going to fire a

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 8: coach who has made the playoffs four straight years and

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 8: you know, has had the success that the Thibodeau's had

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 8: four franchise, it's gone a quarter century without sniffing any

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 8: kind of real success, you better get the next hire right.

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 7: It's an off the high bar that you're trying to

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 7: clear with your next hire here.

109
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 8: But you know, TIB's got fired because TIBs tends to

110
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 8: wear people out, and he wore out a certain amount

111
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 8: of people who were able to get their way.

112
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 2: Do you think they know who they're hiring? I don't.

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 7: I don't.

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 8: I think they certainly have some strong ideas whether their

115
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 8: targets are going to be at Tamable remains to be seen.

116
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 8: But you know, this is the kind of deal, honestly,

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 8: where if you're going to fire Tibbs, it would make

118
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 8: sense that you know who the next tire is, you know,

119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 8: a boom boom type of thing. I certainly don't get

120
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 8: that sense, you know, But of course the Knicks keep

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 8: you guess him, because why would you possibly consider having

122
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 8: a press conference after making this kind.

123
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 7: Of major franchise decision.

124
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 9: You know, just you know, just just hide in your

125
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 9: little ivory tower and don't speak to the unwashed media masks.

126
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 9: Is this the last thing that you would want to

127
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 9: do when you're going to make a decision to fire

128
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 9: a coach and awake of a conference final drum?

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd gotten a win yesterday that yeah, I

130
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: didn't know the acrimony inside, but then I was in.

131
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I was enlightened yesterday. And it's wild that you have.

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: It's almost like he was he was winning his way

133
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: into keeping his job. I don't would he have been

134
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: fired if they went to the NBA finals?

135
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 7: Who knows?

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 8: But you know, it's funny that Tips makes an adjustment

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 8: during the conference finals to use Delon Wright to use

138
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 8: Landry Shamman to kind of extend the rotation and it works,

139
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 8: and then it's used against him because it was like, see,

140
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 8: you should have been playing these guys the whole season. See,

141
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 8: you're so stubborn, you refuse to do what we were

142
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 8: trying to get you to do. And it was the

143
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 8: right thing all along. So I don't know if he

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 8: would have been fired if they'd have made the finals. Obviously,

145
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 8: we'll never know. I just do know that it's not

146
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 8: like this was out of nowhere. There had certainly been

147
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 8: people who were trying to get TIBs out of there

148
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 8: for a while now, going back before the season even started.

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you give him a contract extension last July.

150
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: It's almost as if, now, okay, this may sound crazy,

151
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: and I was told this yesterday. What if Leon Rose,

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: who was Tibbs's former agent who's now his boss, wanted

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: to take care of Tibbs if in fact he got fired,

154
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: that you get him this contract extension, because why else

155
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: would you give him a contract extension if there's already

156
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: people in the building who do not like him in

157
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: his style.

158
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it is also one of those things where

159
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 7: you know when a coach is going into the last.

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 8: Year of his contract. You either extend him or fire him.

161
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 8: That's just kind of the way it is THEBA.

162
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 7: You can't have or you can.

163
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 8: But it's a really bad idea to have a guy

164
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 8: that everybody knows is Elaine Duck as the head coach.

165
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 8: But I see where you're going at. I don't think

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 8: it's a terrible conspiracy theory. I'm listen.

167
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 7: I don't know that this was Leon Rose's decision.

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 8: I know that publicly in the little short statement that

169
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 8: they sent out that he accepted the responsibility for the decision.

170
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 8: I think this was more a dole In decision, and

171
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 8: you know, people working around Leon Rose. I do know

172
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 8: that Leon Rose has held off the angry mob within

173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 8: the within the Knicks front office before. But again, they

174
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 8: can say what they want a statement, they don't have

175
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 8: to have a press conference, they don't.

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 7: Have to explain their decision.

177
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 8: I just don't understand how that benefits the Knicks whatsoever,

178
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 8: to just leave people wonder what the hell is going on.

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: Tim mcmahony, ESPN NBA reporter, He'll be there tonight for

180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: a Sports Center. Also the book The Wonder Boy, Luka

181
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Doncic and the Curse of Greatness. The commissioner said yesterday

182
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports that he is entertaining the world versus

183
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: the All Stars from the United States. I'm wondering, you know,

184
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: we saw how important the Olympics were to Joker, and you,

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: of course wrote the book on Luca playing for the

186
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: rest of the world as opposed to playing for your

187
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: country in the Olympics. I'm curious about the pride you

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: think that the team World would have against the United States.

189
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, and this is certainly a way that there trying

190
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 7: to make the All Star Game more competitive. I can

191
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 7: see that, But look at the All Star rosters from

192
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 7: last year.

193
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 8: Is it going to be eighteen on six or you're

194
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 8: just gonna say, hey, sorry Americans, but there's going to

195
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 8: be twelve international All Stars regardless of qualifications.

196
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 7: You get twelve starts for the Americans, twelve for the World.

197
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 7: And look, obviously the top end talent.

198
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 8: You know, you know how many straight MVPs have been

199
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 8: won by international players. There's no question that there are

200
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 8: you know, a handful of international superstars. But I think

201
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 8: this idea is half baked. If it's got to be

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 8: even international versus World, regardless of who actually earns a trip.

203
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 7: To the All Star Game.

204
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Well, it might be half baked, but I know that

205
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: the current format isn't baked at all. It doesn't even

206
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: get in the oven, like, well, I'm heating up the

207
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm preheating here for something.

208
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then you get into the discussion of Okay,

209
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 7: is the All.

210
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 8: Star Game to honor the best players in the league

211
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 8: that season or is it an an entertainment showcase? You know,

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 8: it's funny. I feel like the NBA All Star Game

213
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 8: is the only one that people really whine and cry

214
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 8: about the competitive mate, Like what, I don't even know

215
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 8: what they're doing in the Pro Bowl now? Is it

216
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 8: like flag football or something like that. Seriously, I don't know,

217
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 8: but nobody cares, right this idea that is some kind

218
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 8: of a crisis because you know, guys aren't diving on

219
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 8: the floor for loose balls during the All Star Game.

220
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 8: I don't really understand it. Then again, I'm a guy

221
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 8: who I cash in my airline miles and Hotel points

222
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 8: to take my wife on vacation every All Star weekends.

223
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 10: What do I care?

224
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: Okay, but do you think that if Kobe was playing,

225
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: or Mike was playing, or Larry Magic playing today. What

226
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: the All Star Game look the way the All Star

227
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: Game looks.

228
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a fair it's a fair point. I

229
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 7: just think it's gets way too much like attention and concern,

230
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 7: like there's bigger problems in the NBA than Hey, the

231
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 7: Altar game is just guys like dunking a ball and

232
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 7: jacking up forty footers like they're to me forward about

233
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 7: the competitive nature of the NBA. Let's start with the

234
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 7: fact that even though you've.

235
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 8: Flattened the lottery odds and it blew up and some teams' faces,

236
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 8: that you've still got tank a Palooza down the stretch

237
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 8: of a regular season. I'm much more worried about the

238
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 8: competitive nature of March and early April basketball than I am.

239
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 7: Some weekend in a random city in February.

240
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: I was watching you guys on the podcast Yesterday and

241
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: the Hoop Collective, and you guys were talking about Utah

242
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: where Danny Aingel's son is now going to run the

243
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: Utah Jazz. And you know, he spent whatever fourteen years

244
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: with the Celtics, but he was asked about basically, are

245
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: you going to tank you know this upcoming season? He said, no,

246
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: not this season, as if it probably happened last season

247
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: and it just didn't work out. So he's kind of admitting,

248
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: I think they tanked last year, but we're not going

249
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: to tank this year.

250
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think it's gonna be hot Texas

251
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 8: this summer. I'm gonna go ahead and admit that. Yeah,

252
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 8: some things are just playing as day. They absolutely tanked

253
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 8: last year. And what Austin Names said, I don't have

254
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 8: the exact quote in front of me, but basically what

255
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 8: he said is we're not going to be manipulating minutes

256
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 8: to lose games this year. They're not going to be

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 8: inventing injuries. I mean, they're injured report. If you opened

258
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 8: it up on your phone, you had to scroll down

259
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 8: a few screens on a regular basis, you know, like

260
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 8: it was ridiculous, and they were fine for tanking, like

261
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 8: they blatantly tanked, got the worst record league and ended

262
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 8: up in the most likely scenario, which was the fifth

263
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 8: overall pick, which was both the worst case to and

264
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 8: most likely scenario, and then you get into I know,

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 8: within that franchise there's discussions about, hey, the way we

266
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 8: approached this season, like tanking, you know, you hear the

267
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 8: euphemism for player development, but what they did, it's done

268
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 8: the growth of young players on the roster.

269
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 7: These guys need to be put in situations where they're

270
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 7: playing to win the game.

271
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 8: If you're trying to develops, so you're just punning on

272
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 8: the growth of like they had like seven guys under

273
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 8: twenty three years old, and then then you know, your

274
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 8: odds aren't that much better for the number one pick.

275
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 7: Then if you finish six or seventh or with the

276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 7: sixth or seventh worst record.

277
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 8: Now the wigger room that he left is they're not

278
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 8: gonna do that, but let's see what their transactions look like.

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 8: You know, they just very well could have a roster

280
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 8: next year going into it where look, they're gonna play

281
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 8: as hard as they can, they're gonna try to win games,

282
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 8: and they're gonna end up, you know, twenty two and

283
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: sixty or whatever be pretty close to the same situation that.

284
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 8: My guess is it probably ends up looking something like that.

285
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: More likely the series goes four games or seven games.

286
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 7: I mean, I think that the data would tell you

287
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 7: four games.

288
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 8: I'm just going to say, I don't think a Rick

289
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 8: Carlile team's getting swept and you know, Rick Carlisle has

290
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 8: out coached a legendary coach in the finals before a

291
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 8: legendary young coach, right, a guy who became a legend,

292
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 8: Eric Spolster's uh. You know that that Miami Super Team's

293
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 8: first finals, that the Dallas Mantis did not have the

294
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 8: better team, they were playing better at the time. But

295
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 8: Rick Carlisle cooked up some magic during that series, you know,

296
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 8: and his coaching staff. But I'm just saying, I know

297
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 8: that Mark Dagnall expects to have his hands full with

298
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 8: the coaching matchup, and I think that is the PACER's

299
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 8: best chance to make this a real series.

300
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 4: Man.

301
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 8: I say out of a lot with a ton of

302
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 8: respect for Dagnall, who's been a Coach of the Year,

303
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 8: who's done an unbelievable job in Oklahoma City. But Rick

304
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 8: Carlisle is as good as it gets in terms of.

305
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 7: Game to game, you know, even even half to half

306
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: in game adjustments during the playoff series.

307
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: How many Air Jordans did you pack?

308
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 7: Let's see, I think.

309
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 8: There are eight Jordans, some Air Force ones, a pair

310
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 8: of Blazers, and some good old trustee Stan Smiths just

311
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 8: for the every day kick run shees also have some

312
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 8: Sabrina Wednesday, and you'll appreciate this. We've got a uh,

Speaker 2: Oh, because we used to play pick up and uh

324
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,560

335
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: All right? Where would Steven A. Smith be picked if

336
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: there was a media pickup game? I don't know.

337

Speaker 7: pass is a miss jump guy.

348
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520

Speaker 2: We had a caller said that he was listening to

403
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: a I guess a replay of a Howard Stern show

404
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: and it was back in two thousand, two thousand and three,

405
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: and it was when I won an Fmmy from the

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Howard Stern Show. Because captain Jenks, who is a prank

407
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: phone call expert. This is after the Chicago Cubs, Steve Bartman,

408
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: the foul ball, the whole thing, and then everybody's trying

409
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: to track down Steve Bartman. Do an interview. I'm doing

410
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: the six o'clock Sports Center. Do I have to play this, PAULI?

411
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, I think the big part of it is that,

412
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: like you said, everyone was trying to get a hold

413
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: of this guy. Man, You're in the middle of a

414
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: live show. You didn't have time to tape it or

415
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: vet it out, and a call comes into ESPN a

416
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: person pretending to be Steve Bartman, and the person was

417
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: so prepared that they knew where Barton went to college

418
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: in high school. So as the producers tried to vet it,

419
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 3: as they say, he answered all the right questions and

420
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: got through to you on Sports Center.

421
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't think they vetted him with his college.

422
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: It was something yeah, because that was the that was

423
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: the only thing I thought of. So I'm we just

424
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: started Sports Center and I probably tend to twelve minutes

425
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: in and my producer says, Hey, Bartman called in, We're

426
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: going to put him on the air. Let's go to

427
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: commercial break, and I'm thinking, okay, so during the commercial break,

428
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: I'm actually talking to who I think is Steve Bartman.

429
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: To this day, the only thing that I I didn't

430
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: know Bartman obviously, and I would have asked him about

431
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: where he went to college. I think he went to

432
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and that would That was the only thing

433
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: that I thought of, is how do I know this

434
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: is Steve Bartman. There was no zoom call back then,

435
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: and that was To this day, it still bothers me.

436
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we have three minutes in between, uh, segment

437
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 2: one and segment two, and oh my gosh, we got

438
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,520

439
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,040

Speaker 4: We're throwing things at me, bottles, glass, plastic, and you know,

441
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 4: and you know, it was very scary because I could

442
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 4: have got hurt, you know, hit with something and seriously injured.

443
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: Have you received death threats?

444
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: Yes, I have received at least five death threats calling

445
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: my parents' house. And and you know, people get you know,

446
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: especially from the news. They've been calling and and I

447
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: and I'm pretty much right now, you know, hiding out

448
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 4: right now.

449
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: Can you stay in the Chicago area.

451
00:22:49,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 2: Hello, we've been had. That was not Steve Bartman. We'll

452
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: be back any who. Oh, and I'm a fan of

453
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: Howard Stern show. I should have known. I should have

454
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, once again, I mean hindsight, but hearing his voice,

455
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't sound like somebody in distress. He sounds like

456
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: somebody trying to sound like he's in distress. If I

457
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: listen to it back right now, I just hear him

458
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 2: and he's kind of telling me what I want to hear,

459
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he loads up and

460
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: then he gets me. And it was the biggest get

461
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: in sports. I mean, we had Bartman, and I thought

462
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: and we had been trying to get Barton and everybody

463
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: had been and all of a sudden, Howard Stern's but cheese.

464
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: I was embarrassed, But you know, my producer felt than

465
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: I did. And I don't know if he got I mean,

466
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: we were always a two source network. I mean back

467
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: then when they used to care about that stuff, and

468
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: you know, we didn't have two sources on it. We

469
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: just thought we had Bartman calling in. Well, of course

470
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: it's Bartman. We're Sports Center. Of course he's calling in.

471
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 2: And then I won an fmmy by Howard and Robin,

472
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: and I joined them and accepted my fmy proudly accepted.

473
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: And I had been listening to Howard since nineteen eighty

474
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: six and I was well versed in I just never

475
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: thought that Captain Jenks but we had Captain Jenks on

476
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: after that on the radio show, and I said, hey,

477
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: just promise me that you'll never prank me again. And

478
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: he promised that he would never prank me again. But

479
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: he got me, got me good. And I remember I

480
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: went to Gary Delabate Baba Booie invited me on. I

481
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: had a day off or I was off for a week,

482
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: and he said, why don't you come in to the show.

483
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: I said, all right, I'll go into New York and

484
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: I went to the Howard Stern show. Well, Gary is

485
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: trying to tell Howard who I am because Howard doesn't

486
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: really know sports. And he goes, Howard, this is Dan Patrick.

487
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: He's the Dan rather of sports. And I don't know

488
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: if Howard cared, but he was like, oh okay. And

489
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: I think that was when they did Gary Roast maybe,

490
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: and I went in for that and then I was

491
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: on the wrap up show with Gary and John Hine

492
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: hit him with the hint and I've done some things

493
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: with the show periodically. Howard has reached out a couple

494
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: of times to do a couple of things for the show.

495
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, they got me. And then when Howard's sixtieth

496
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: birthday party, I was invited and I introduced Dave Grohl

497
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to do it because I don't

498
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: want to be part of the show that I like.

499
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: And then everybody's like, you got to do Howard, And

500
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad I did, but still I was

501
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: not in my world. It wasn't a hey, there's this

506
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: That's about all I know. And then he said, hey,

00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: when you introduced me, just say that. I grew up

508
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: listening to Howard on a Ham radio and I thought okay,

509
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: and I walk out and I see Howard and Robin

510
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: and I go over and acknowledge them, and then somebody

00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: from the back goes, who are you? And totally threw

512
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: me off my game because I wanted to say something,

00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, in Howard's world, you could you know, say

514
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: something back to them, but I didn't want to take

515
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: away from the birthday party. And then I introduced Dave Grohl.

516

686
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,600

691
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 6: Before I asked my quick question here, I just like

692
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 6: to thank Wendy's brother for getting back to me as

693
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 6: soon as he did the question that I have for

694
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 6: you is one that you ask your guests every once

695
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 6: in a while. I'm going to assume that if I've

696
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 6: walked in your house, I would not know what you

697
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 6: do for a living, because I don't think your family

698
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 6: would allow that. But if I went down to your

699
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 6: smoking drinking room, would I know what you do for

700
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 6: a living?

701
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, that's the one room that is where I

702
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: have cigars. That's the one room that is mine. And

703
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: got a lot of things down there, a lot of

704
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: fun things down there. But yeah, it's a it's a

705
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: whole lot of me down there. Bob in Seattle, Hi, Bob,

706
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?

707
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 6: Maybe as a lifelong Supersonic fan, I just have to

708
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 6: say what the whole city is thinking.

709
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 8: Go go.

710
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Hey, I'd still love to have basketball

711
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: in Seattle. Maybe they maybe they come back. But it

712
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 2: feels like if you have a team in Vegas, then

713
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: hopefully you have a team in Seattle. But it feels

714
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: like that that we're definitely going to have a team

715
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: in Vegas. That feels like and I don't know if

716
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 2: that's where the If I'm the commissioner, do I talk

717
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: to Lebron and Steph Curry and say, I want you

718
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: two guys to be involved in this franchise. I wonder

719
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: if if he would do that. Well, he'll join us

720
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: next Wednesday. The commissioner, Steven California. Hi, Steve, what's on

721
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 2: your mind today? Guys? Thanks for taking my call a

722
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 2: long time.

723
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 15: Second time, you guys were talking about the Oilers jerseys

724
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 15: earlier in the show, and I just want to mention

725
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 15: that at one point in the I think it was

726
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 15: a mid nineties, for about fifteen years, they switched the jersey.

727
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 15: They changed the color to like a dark navy blue,

728
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 15: they removed some.

729
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: Of the orange. They actually had like a muted orange.

730
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 15: They were awful, and so luckily about ten years ago

731
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 15: they reverted back full.

732
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: Time to what you see now.

733
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 6: So I think we're all happy for that second thing.

734
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 15: I have a quick Connor McDavid fun fact, and last

735
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 15: year we know that he won the Cosmife for a

736
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 15: playoff MVP and a losing.

737
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 2: Out for a very very rare for any sport. That's

738
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 2: actually the.

739
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 15: Second time that's happened to him because last year in juniors,

740
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 15: before he got drafted by the Oilers, he was playing

741

Speaker 15: for my hometown Area Otters made the finals in twenty fifteen.

742
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 15: He lost the final five games, but was voted playoff

743
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 15: MVP that time as well.

744
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,799
