WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Charley Casserly (04-01-20) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.320 Sports Radio. Good Morning, Gia, Doug Gotlie, Chris Broussard As 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.920 Dan Patrick, Nation continues to wait for DP and the 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.360 Boys to be back. As they've stated on social media, 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.759 this is a planned holiday. Obviously, not having the Final 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.759 four makes it makes it even easier to take some 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.400 time off and me and Chris will be with you 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.640 for the entirety of the day. Charlie cash Leak from 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.120 the NFL Network, former general manager of the Skins, we'll 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.120 join us in about thirty minutes. We'll get his take 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.720 on some of the rumors and smoke streams of what 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.720 could happen and what already has happened in what is 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.760 not only a wild but probably the most publicized NFL 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.640 offseason anyone can remember. That's because we don't have the NBA, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.720 we don't have any sports, live sports being played, and 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.040 there continue to be ideas about what could lead us 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.280 to get in the NBA back. Obviously, Chris, Yesterday's ruling 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:07.120 in Toronto means there'll be no baseball in Toronto because 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.679 Baseball's players Association and the owners came together with an 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.760 agreement that they're not going to play any games in 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.119 front of empty stadiums. It's not until all the travel 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.480 bands are lifted, and not until people are allowed to 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.280 gather again will they play games. Basketball has made no 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.640 such agreement, but the likelihood is they have to find 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.960 some way to get back on the floor, but possibly 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.240 do it without fans in the stands. That that is 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.200 it in your mind? Is it likely to start with 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.200 no one in the stands? Yes, And I'll tell you 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.319 what from talking to just different people around the NBA 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:45.360 at every level, they are going to do everything they 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.280 can to finish out this NBA season. You know, it's 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.320 it's the money they don't mainly it's the money. They 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.960 don't want to lose all of that revenue. Now, obviously 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.560 you're not gonna get as much with no fans in 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:03.120 the stands. However, of course that's when the TV deals will. 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.880 You know, they need to play some more regular season 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.200 games to get all of their TV money taken care of. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.239 So they're gonna try to do everything they can. If 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.160 that means pushing games in the September, so be it. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.160 If that means playing games without fans in the stands, 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.600 so be it. They just want to try to finish 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.760 up this season. Yeah, I mean, like, look, is it 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.520 about the money? Sure, I think it's interesting that Lebron 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.720 is the guy who's anti playing in front of a 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.560 front of an empty house when you know how how 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.720 big is their championship window. If you're the Lakers, man, 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.560 we want to get this thing. The Clippers will have 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.000 another year of those two playing together and be healthier. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.960 The Warriors should be back next year. I think the 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.840 Nets will be legit contenders once they're healthy. But like 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.360 the West, the Warriors will be back and the Clippers 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.120 should be better. And and then even the teams that 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.320 won't be quite quite as good as the Lakers and 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.639 the Clippers will be better. Yes, and we'll happen. We'll 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.560 have an off season to adjust, right, I'll have an 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.040 off season to adjust. And by the way, Anthony Davis, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.120 when this thing is over, is a free agent. Doesn't 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.720 mean he'll leave, but is a free agent, which makes 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.520 which makes the Lakers off season interesting. Yeah, I mean, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.000 there's no chance he'll leave, but you're right, it just 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.400 isn't It's you know, I guess most people say you 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.920 never say never. But okay, so our guy Jay Williams, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.440 who I do consider a friend, but look when I 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.800 say things that make no sense, my friends call me 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.639 out on it as well. He went on another radio 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.959 show and was like, all right, here's the idea. Right, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.360 we get two of those cruise ships and we check 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.600 everybody for coronavirus before they get on. You can bring 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.080 your family on, just the players and their families and 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.160 they play on cruise ships. What do you think? And 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.840 my first thought is, Jda ever turn on the did 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.360 you turn on the news for the three weeks prior 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.000 to the two weeks of quarantine? Because during those three 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.720 weeks prior you had cruise ship after cruise ship after 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.120 cruise ship getting quarantine. Dudes couldn't get off right. It 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.960 was it was Hotel California. You could check out any 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.240 time you want, but you can never leave. Bro. I love, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.960 I love I love that there's there's ideas out there 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.120 that's just that that's a no. We're gonna we're gonna 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.640 hard pass that one and move on well and and 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.400 and like you, I love. Jay obviously worked when he 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.880 met the old network um, but he also thought it 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.599 was such a great idea. That was the thing, Like 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.080 you said no, And he went on the radio with 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.679 it's like one thing to say it to a producer 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.240 and producer like that's a good idea of like I 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.520 don't know if we I don't know if we want 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.640 to go with that one on air, like maybe maybe 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.080 keep that one he has I have cured cancer. But 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.280 with you guys, listen, yes, listen, listen. You guys are 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.320 all smart people. Let me get you. I've really thought 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.919 this thing out, you know, and you know, forget about 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.520 the he's mentioning cruise ships at this time. Yes, and 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.960 they've had they've had they've had basketball games on aircraft 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.960 carriers to limited success in some really remember the condensation, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.760 Yes they had problem. Yes they actually can't. They actually 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.960 canceled a game because of condensation. And you know, I 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.560 remember one year the numbers were terrible because because there 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.320 were shadows and sunlight and guys couldn't see. So in 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.880 addition to the practicality of we're not deciding an NBA 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.560 championship but a cruise ship, there's just cruise ship is 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.080 a bad word right now, We're not using cruise ship. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.760 And it's like your boy Rob Parker, you co host 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.040 The Odd Couple with he went on the Golden Girls 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.360 cruise and we're just happy that they got to they 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.440 got to dock when he came back. Yes, yes, indeed, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.719 I mean he he really got back just in time. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.600 You're absolutely right, because a week later and who knows 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.960 what would have happened. Uh, he might have been he 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.280 might have been stuck on that for a little while longer. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.080 But um, and my thing also when when Jay mentioned that, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.640 the thought was, well, if you can go on a 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:54.359 cruise ship, theoretically, why can't they just be isolated in Vegas? 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.320 I think isolated in the Midwest that have you know, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.479 some of these other ideas. I think that's have been 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.320 thrown out. I think that's more I've been told that's 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.919 more logical. I mean, I don't know if it actually happens, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.760 but that's more likely to work. I would. Look, my 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.479 guess is I think my hope is that a lot 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.800 of this is just we're not necessarily scare tactics, but 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.880 we want to be extra extra, extra cautious. You know, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.600 let's let's not turn this into it Italy. Let's not 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.479 have that type of you know, we've already had this 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.680 type of damage to our economy. But if we have 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.920 a second wave of it, or if it gets really bad, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.840 it's only gonna it's only gonna set us back for 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.080 let's just handle this this first time. But I do 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.640 wonder if you know, if in a couple of weeks, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.360 if we get to May, we're like, all right, we're 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.000 good now, let's let's get after it. Won the warm 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.800 weather too. It looks like they're making some advancements in 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.040 terms of medicine that they think might be able to 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.240 help people with. And three, you know, we have a 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.360 bit of a different culture and we have a different 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.400 level now of investments. You know, you got Steebamber giving 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.560 twenty five million, ten million too, right, So I mean, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.760 like other countries haven't had that benefit of people throwing 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.839 money at the research to speed this process up. So 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:11.160 do you think you sound like you you're pretty optimistic. Yes, um, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560 I mean you're talking about May, so you think we 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.080 could be seeing NBA ball in June. In June, yeah, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.800 I think it'll take a month to get it going. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.480 And then the question is what do you do? I mean, 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.400 I would you know, what do you do with the 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.560 non playoff teams? I mean the Warriors. Steve Kirk came 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.200 out and said, we kind of feel like our season's over. Yeah, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.520 So do you only do you only do the playoff teams? 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.560 Do you expand the playoffs by two teams? Like? What 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200 do you do there? Do you have three season games? 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.920 I talked to a coach from a non playoff team 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.000 the other day, and um, he was saying the same thing. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.040 It feels like an off season to them, like their 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.880 season is over. And I get it. However, here's the deal. 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.760 You know this, Doug, these guys are gonna be off. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.400 I don't know that all of them have the Andrew 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.200 Thomas hook up, you know where, They're going to two 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.200 gyms and working out, So they're gonna have been off 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.480 what sixty days. Obviously they're not going to be in 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.800 basketball shape, which if you throw them out there too 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.920 early number one. And the worst thing is that the 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.720 chances of injury increase, which if a guy got hurt 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.480 and had to sit out some or all of next season, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.400 now you're potentially messing up two seasons. But also, you 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600 don't want to start your playoffs your most important games 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.720 with the quality of play being subpar and teams just 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.920 not being anywhere near their best. So I was feeling initially, 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.840 dug when they first postponed the season a month or 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.200 so ago, whatever it was, I initially felt like, Okay, 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.559 they should just start the playoffs. You know, we've played 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.040 sixty five games roughly each team, we know who the 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.840 top eight seeds are. Just go to the playoffs. But 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.760 now I think you're gonna need at least I think 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.360 I'm being overly generous at least the week of some 0:08:54.440 --> 0:09:00.280 type of training camp to get conditioned. Seven training camp, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.400 and then you need you need a couple of probably 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.120 five to eight regular season games, I think. And also 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.240 because the TV a lot of these regional deals, they 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.160 need to play at least seventeen games. Right. Well, that's 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.200 that's the this is this is a great it's a 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.240 great point you bring up, and it's one of those 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.400 things that this is the first moment I feel vindicated, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.360 or maybe I feel not vindicated, but not heard on 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.880 my normal radio show, Doug Gotlie Chris brusstart in for 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.880 Dan Dan Danet's here in the Dan Patrick Show. Um. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.600 I've said this for a while. The people who think, well, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.480 you know, you just shortened season, and you know, the 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.440 better basketball and music, you start to understand all of 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.160 the different. Okay, you have the arena has to have 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.360 a certain number of nights. Has forty one nights, right, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.559 they have to have forty one knights plus preseason. And 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.760 the arena of the arena, you of the arena parking, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.080 You have all the people that work in the arena. Right. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.280 Then you have these regional networks that are intertwined, many 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.040 of them with the teams or they've paid a ton 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.520 of money to these teams to broadcast it. They need 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.160 the volume of games. If those go away, who's gonna 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.400 Who's gonna Who's gonna compensate all these people. Then you 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.880 have the entertainment districts which are built around these arenas, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.640 And if you're gonna take away dates, how are you gonna, Like, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.520 you know, states have created some tax exempt you know 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.560 it's tax exempt stuff so that you know, teams would 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.480 stay downtown, so that those restaurants and bars and those 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.600 districts would still be fieled. Like everybody benefits from there 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.240 being eighty two regular season games, and we can't. And 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.840 now I feel like there's no chance that even though 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.280 people believe the season next year will have to be 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.080 pushed back. I think that's accurate. The interaccurate parts. You 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.040 think they're gonna cut games after we go through a 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.079 year where the economy almost dies, No chance, I would. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.640 They're definitely going to eighty two games next year. It's 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:50.880 just a question of how do they get them in. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.480 I'm glad you brought that up. And let me ask 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.120 you this, how do you feel about And I'm not 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.760 talking about next season because that obviously pretty much have 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.000 to be pushed back, but just in oh, in general, 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.360 as a regular thing, how do you feel about saying, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:13.120 starting to NBA season on Christmas Day and then playing 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.640 into August, just as a as a if that were 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.080 the new schedule for the NFL or the NBA in 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.320 the future, how would you feel about that? I would 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.280 actually say, if you're going to play the NBA that way, 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.320 I would start it when you start it. I don't. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.959 I don't actually have a problem. I would. I would 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.520 prefer it spread out this. I would, yeah, spread them out. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.440 Give him yeah, maybe not just no back to backs, 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.480 give him a much more substantial like a second break 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.040 as well. You know, when when you play over season 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.360 and go from October seventeens or whatever it is and 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.640 still play into August. Yeah, I mean like, look, I 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.040 don't know if you play in August, I don't know 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.840 what what you do if you go to go October. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.440 I just I just think this, Uh, here's the big 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.120 question which I don't have the answer for. And maybe 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.320 Michael Mulville, who works for Fox, knows ratings. He can 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.280 give you a better sense of it. Traditionally, you want 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.880 to stay away from July and August because everybody's traveling 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.400 right right, and people don't watch TV. Now that you 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.800 don't watch TV, people don't watch traditional TV nearly as much. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.320 Can you make up for the lack of over the 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:21.800 air ratings based viewership with the phone, with the you know, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.959 with the device he kind of in your hand. I 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.960 don't know. But there's a reason that most major sporting 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.040 events don't occur in the summer, right with the exception 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.720 obviously is some golf stuff, and it's it's it's because 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.040 of that. Now. If that is a moot point now 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.880 in twenty twenty and beyond, because people watch what they 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.560 want to watch whenever they want to watch it, regardless 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.840 of where they are, then I'm all for hoop in 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.560 the summer. I've often thought college basketball should start second semester, 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.240 especially on a college campus, there's just not the bandwidth 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.280 or really the financial resources for people to do both 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.680 at once. And then you know, you run the NCAA 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.920 tournament into May, and if you push back the NBA, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.160 that kind of all works together a little bit better. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.480 It does work together if you push back the NBA. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.199 I wouldn't like it if you didn't. If the NBA 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.040 stayed on its current schedule, I don't think it'd be 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.320 good because you'd be competing with the playoffs. And you know, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.680 I covered the NBA, you know, as a beat writer 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:22.160 for many years, and during March Madness the NBA, you know, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.080 it's just not as you know, it's only a few weeks, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.360 but we forget about the NBA for a little while, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.560 you know, just for a brief moment in time. So 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.240 you wouldn't want that happening during the NBA playoffs. But 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.559 that's the thing. I saw Mark Cuban on the Herd 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.760 earlier this week, or maybe it was last week, but 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.760 he was talking about how, just as you said, traditionally, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.679 you definitely don't want to be playing games in the 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.640 summer months because the ratings go way down. But now 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.520 with the smartphones, everybody watching on their phone. It's a 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.080 little different. And I think that it depends on like 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.560 if you had playoff games in you lie, in August 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.400 and the later we got into the you know, the playoffs, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.120 it'd be fewer games, so it would kind of be 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.600 you know, if you played the early rounds in July, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.480 I do think it'd be a problem because people are 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.920 just gonna be outside, they're gonna be on vacation. They're 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.360 not going to want to watch a game every single 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.200 night or multiple games. But if it's you know, a 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.400 game every three days or a game every you know, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.760 big games on the weekends, I think people you know, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.200 maybe into that because you know, sometimes in the summer 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.360 you're looking for a game to watch, and even if 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.240 you're on vacation or something, you know, if you're with 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.800 some other guys, you know, you may gather around and 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.680 watch the NBA Finals Game three or something like that. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.680 So it's interesting. I mean, you definitely want to find 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.960 out get all the math and science you can on 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.000 the ratings in the summer because you definitely don't want 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.520 to you know, if they're not going to they're going 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.440 to be bad in the summer. You want to stay 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.200 away from it now, but it's interesting now full disclosure, 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.400 The ratings weren't great in the playoffs past couple of 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.760 years up until it was the ones that mattered, and 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.440 then this year will be They'll probably use this year 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.840 as a test case. On the other hand, this a 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.040 good chance for him, you know, to view it as 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.120 a test case right now. The only only issue is 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.400 this is gonna be a weird test case because I 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.960 don't know. I mean, I have no scientific knowledge statistical 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.160 knowledge to prove this, but I would guess there'll be 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.000 very few family vacations, right like, Look, will people go 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.040 on vacations, yes, will they bring their kids? No? You're like, look, 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.560 I just the moms of the world, be like, look, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.080 I was just a homeschool teacher for three kids for 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:45.960 the last three months. You think I want to take 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.960 them to Europe? No? No, you know, and grandma and 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.120 grandpa were Grandma and Grandpa that were isolated, didn't have 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.240 to come down at all for the last three months 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.280 because we were worried about their health. You got to 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.560 watch the kids. You know, we're going to crow Asha 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.240 bye bye. Well, we'll we'll see what Chris Bruson I'm 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.320 Dug Golib. This is the Dan Patrick's Show here on 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:10.520 Fox Sports Radio. And uh man, this is um speaking 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:15.560 speaking of of the NBA. There will be a tournament 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.680 involving NBA players. How and where will they play? Find 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.480 out next. Be sure to catch the live edition of 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.680 The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.800 am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio app. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.760 Did you see k D's gonna lead a field of 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:38.880 sixteen NBA two K twenty tournament? Yes? Now do you 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.640 play NBA two K? I do I do? What's your son? 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.120 I imagine? Yes, with my son and then with some 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.560 of my son's friends. That's that's the best part, right 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.280 because now you can like we I was. I don't 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.800 know if I was a gamer growing up, like I wasn't. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.200 I never had the handheld thing. But you know when 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.240 you play basketball tournaments, you used to when you had 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.040 Sega or Nintendo or whatever. Uh, you'd you'd take somebody 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.760 would take away you when you go to Vegas and 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.600 Santa Barbara and you pop it in in the hotel 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.840 room and you play video games all day. So that 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.600 I mean, I've played Madden since it was first John 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.280 Madden Football or since it was you know, uh back 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.359 when it was Lakers versus Celtics in the NBA playoffs. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.119 So I still really really enjoy it. Um, I can't 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.720 say that we've played We've had two K forever, but 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.760 we haven't played it a ton. So when this thing 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:35.560 first went down, Um, he started playing things on Xbox Live. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.840 And we have a couple of families that we're friends 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.439 with and all the all the boys know that I 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.120 like to play Madden and two K. So I'll play 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.200 against his friends and beat his friends and we'll talk trash. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.480 It's pretty fun. No, that's that's great. And you can 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.159 play with two K. Can you can play like people 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.400 in different house? Yes, I'm yeah, that's great. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.320 it's crazy. Yeah, this is this is That's one of 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:04.800 the great things, um, about technology today is that you know, 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.880 for your son, he can still play with his friends 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.240 and and all that stuff. I'm not a gamer. I'm 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.639 even a little older than you. I was, and you 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.520 know they had arcades obviously when I was coming up 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.159 and all that. But I'm telling you, Doug, the last 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:25.399 video game I was into was in television. Remember that 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.840 it was that long ago in college and there's this 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.320 game called Pong. You should try it, Doug, that's what 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.920 you tell me. That was like the first video game 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.080 I actually remember that. But um no, so I'm not. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.400 I wasn't even in the Madden I'm certainly know nothing 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:46.640 about NBA two K. Will it be interesting? No, watching 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.240 other people playing video games is not injured, right, That's 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.040 what I'm saying. Like I've watched a little bit, not 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.560 a lot, but a little and it just bores me 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.720 to tears. Yes, look, and there'll be people are like 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.840 the godly bischade. You guys just don't understand esports, Like no, 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.600 I understand it really well, it's not is it the 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.480 worst thing in the world, Like, no, it's not. I 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.080 just please don't tell me what I enjoy watching. I 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.199 love basketball. I don't like James Harden dribble around at 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.720 the top of the key before he goes one on one. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.119 But at least it's real people playing as opposed to 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.760 a computer simulation. You know, I mean, it's just so 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.399 arbitrary and you and I'm not saying there's not skill 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.840 to it, but let's not let's not call it a sport. 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.239 Let's though they have teams. I know, the NBA, I 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:36.440 think at least sixteen of the thirty teams half eighteen. Yes, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.720 you have five video you know, five man teams and 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.200 they play they get paid. I mean that's nice, it's 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.320 a it's created jobs for people. But you can make 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:51.240 a six figure salary now playing these video games. Yes, 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.600 that that's that's that's nuts. That's nuts. But the number 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.679 of people that play video games as opposed to the 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.239 ones making a six figure salary at him. Yeah, you know, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.720 it's like, it's not a great career, right, career bad. 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:09.280 I'll have a playan B. Yes, definitely have a plan B. Hey, listen, 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.320 my late father he used to think he was the 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.919 world's greatest Miss pac Man player. We you know, he 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.800 was a coach. Oh, he used to love he knew 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.600 all the path he said, there's patterns to it. He 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.560 understands patterns to it. It's patterns to it. And he 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:23.200 played those that we go on the road. He put 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:24.560 a bunch of quarters up and he would go and 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.480 he played Miss pac Man for hours and hours. But 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.840 we've we've also we've kind of watered that thing down, right, like, look, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.679 I'm not gonna sit here and tell you video games 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.000 were better when we were kids. They're not. But but 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.240 when back when there used to be arcades, you'd only 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.240 get one game in one quarter and then you'd have 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.840 to wait right like, and look, we've done this with 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.199 pick up basketball. You better be good. We've done this 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:50.960
