Don't 46 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: know if Larry Fitzgerald is coming back, he's a free agent. 47 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: I assume he will because he's zeroing in on Jerry 48 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: Rice's old time reception record. Yes, Polly, I've got the 49 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals in the past months going from fifty to 50 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,559 Speaker 1: one to thirty to one to win the Super Bowl. Okay, 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: it probably go up a little bit more, but they've 52 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job. And well they brought in 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: some more key names with AJ Green of course, JJ. 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: What you know, names You can win free agency in March, 55 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: but you got to win games in September, in October 56 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: recognizable names. That's great. There are a lot of teams 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: that win in March, they don't win in September, and 58 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: it's always one of those sneaky Oh we got this center, 59 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: we signed him. Did we get a receiver, Do we 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: get a you know, a running back? No, No, we 61 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: got a center. Those are the guys that help you win. 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: Those are the guys that help you become a good 63 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: team or maybe a great team, or keep you as 64 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: a good team or a great team. Now back to 65 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: basketball coming up tonight. We've had a few days to 66 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: think about it. Time to get down to the nitty 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: gritty of filling out your bracket if you haven't. But 68 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: the first question is are you gonna go all chalk? 69 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna go with Fritzy. Fritzie does that every year. 70 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the umber one seed and then the 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: number one seed, number one seed, number or third, and 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: that feeds might need to go with a lot of 73 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: the favorites. You know, Gonzaga enters the tournament as a 74 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: legit favorite, the undefeated, loaded with talent, got a one 75 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: and done on that team. Number one overall seeds though 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: don't normally win. Last time we had a team do 77 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: that twenty thirteen, it was the Louisville Cardinals. After Gonzaga, Baylor, 78 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: Illinois lookout standing and that would surprise no one if 79 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: they reach the final four. Michigan has had some health issues, 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: but Juan Howard's Wolverines they're still a very dangerous team. 81 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: And the tricky part is is you're not gonna win 82 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: if you go all chalk normally, right. The key is 83 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: picking an upset. There's always an outlier, and let's face it, 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: you need a little bit a lot of luck, not 85 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: a little. But that's why the guy who watched the 86 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: most college basketball doesn't win the bracket contest. You have 87 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: one more day to figure it all out, so good luck. 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: I feel like I know less because I watched more 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: basket at ball, and you know, we don't have that 90 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: marquee player or players. Gonzaga is a really good team. 91 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: Obviously they're undefeated, but you know they're not in the 92 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: ACC or the SEC or the Big Ten. You don't 93 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: get to see them on a regular basis unless you 94 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: seek them out and then you watch them and you 95 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: realize they do have everything. They have really good players. 96 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: I mentioned they got a one and done, they got 97 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: leadership there, they've been in a title game before, and 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: they have a coach who's been there a long long time, 99 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: one of the most successful coaches, and as far as 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: winning percentage, the best winning percentage in college basketball history 101 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: marked few. But we know that there's magic that happens. 102 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: We know there's upset, surprises, there's disappointment. There's going to 103 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: be one, two, three of those games where you go, 104 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: how did that just happen? But that's college basketball. You 105 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: put them in a bubble, and you're going to have 106 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: even more craziness. And it feels like every year I 107 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: say the same thing, oh man, this year is going 108 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: to be crazy, and then next year I'll say the 109 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: same thing. But you're in a bubble. That adds to 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: the craziness here because Georgia Tech just lost its best player, 111 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: the ACC Player of the Year, out for the first 112 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: two games. If they survived the first round, like that's 113 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: that's how crazy this has been. And then you have 114 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: the coaching vacancies that are also thrown in there. You're 115 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: in Indiana. Indiana is not playing, but the job at 116 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: Indiana is open. And I've been going back and forth 117 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: with a source this morning about what's going on at 118 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Indiana and said to me this morning, was told Scott 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: Drew will not be the next head coach at Indiana. 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: He's Baylor's head coach. He's from Indiana. His dad was 121 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: a legendary coach at Valaparaiso. And then I followed up, 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: I say, well, who do you think would be the 123 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: front runner at Indiana? And my source said, well, you know, 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: probably somebody would ties to Bobby Knight. The new athletic 125 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: director is a former Bob Knight manager, and we'll connect 126 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: with former players. You've got Tony Bennett at Virginia is 127 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: a name that I was told. Chris Beard he's at 128 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Brad Stevens is on the list, but he's 129 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: not going to be on the list because he said, look, 130 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: I love it, I have ties there. It's emotional for 131 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: me of friends and family. He's the coach of the Celtics. 132 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Bennett would be great because, according to my sores, his 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: dad and his dad was a legendary coach Wisconsin, Green Bay, 134 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: a few places. But his dad and Bob Knight were 135 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: great friends. But as my source said, Tony Bennett's sister 136 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: was the women's coach at Indiana and she was fired. 137 00:07:52,480 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I think there's a lot of things 138 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: that are going on there. You know, if you're Brad Stevens, 139 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: if this was another year, maybe next year, depending on 140 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: what happens this year, then maybe that would be something 141 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: you would be interested in. But it's now and I 142 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, Beard did a great job getting 143 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: his team to the Final four couple of years ago, 144 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: title game, but you know, he's at Texas Tech. He's 145 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: done a great job down there. But it feels like 146 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: it's somebody would ties to Bob Knight. Who's going to 147 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: get this job at Indiana. I don't know if it's 148 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: Dane Fife. He's at Michigan State. I mean, he's the 149 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: associate head coach. He's another guy he played, you know, 150 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: for Bob Knight in Indiana. That would be kind of 151 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: the sleeper one for me. John bee Line, who coached 152 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: at Michigan and then went to the Cavaliers and then 153 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: got fired there. That's another name to keep an eye on. 154 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: But he's in his late sixties. I don't know if 155 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do at Indiana, You're gonna 156 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of different names because it is still 157 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: a coveted job. But I don't know if you're gonna get. 158 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna get who you think 159 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: you're going to get a lot of times when you're 160 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: in a bubble, you think your job is so great 161 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: and so big and so important, and so many people 162 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: are going to be applying for it. Indiana an't done 163 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: anything in a long time. Now, maybe that's the time 164 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: to come in and take over. You know, Archie Miller 165 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: came in after doing a great job at Dayton and 166 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: he washed out after four years and they had to 167 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: pay a big buy out, reportedly like ten million dollars 168 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: just to get rid of him. But Steve Alford, who 169 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: said he wasn't interested, is not on the list from 170 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: what I'm told. But you know, legendary Indiana player not 171 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: on the list. Yep on, that's the guy's gonna bring up. 172 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: It didn't feel like a decade. A decade a half 173 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: ago is destiny that Steve Alford would one day coach 174 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: and he would be at Iowa. And it didn't work 175 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: out the timing, and he had a pretty good run 176 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: of Island and New Mexico and UCLA. It just never 177 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: timed out. And now Alfred's not even close to hot anymore, 178 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: and it felt like Jim Harbaugh, that's someday he would 179 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: go back. Well, you have him at Nevada, but he 180 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: hasn't really done anything. And he took over for a 181 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Musselman who's done a great job at Arkansas. But that's 182 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: sort of what's happening, you know, with basketball in Indiana. 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: And then there's the opening at IU. There was we 184 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: had Juwan Howard on yesterday and Juwan Howard was trying 185 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: to get a job as an NBA head coach. He 186 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: was an assistant coach with the Miami Heat, and then 187 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: the opening happened at his alma mater and he's done 188 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: a wonderful job with that team. And I asked him 189 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: about is his goal to still get back to the 190 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: NBA as a head coach. I never ever thought about that. 191 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: That's the past now. Really, I'm so locked in to 192 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Michigan good. I love this place. I'm joining my experience. 193 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm growing each and every day, growing with my staff 194 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: to become a better coach. And he's got a great job. 195 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: These are the jobs that you keep for a long time. 196 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: And that's all I have to do is remember what 197 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: happened to John Beeline John bee Line as a Hall 198 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: of Fame coach, and then John bee Line for some reason, 199 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: wanted to jump to the NBA and coach the Cavaliers. 200 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: You get that job, you keep that job as long 201 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: as you can. And in college basketball, I get to 202 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: keep players their stability. Like I don't want to go 203 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: coach the Timberwolves. I'm going to coach for three years 204 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: and then that's it. Michigan you can coach there for 205 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: ten years, fifteen years if you want. Ego gets in 206 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: the way, and then you go, I've accomplished everything, get stagnant, 207 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: get bored, whatever it might be. But I have great 208 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: respect for those who continue to reinvent themselves at the 209 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: same job, in the same job. It's really hard to do. 210 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: We all want what is new different? You know. I 211 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: thought this when I was at ESPN eighteen years there, 212 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: and I kept thinking, I think I've kind of mastered 213 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: Sports Center. It's got to be something else out there. 214 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: And then the more I thought about it, the more 215 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: I enjoyed going to work every single day and doing 216 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: that show every single night. And I could have gone 217 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: to NBC or CBS, and I remember Bob Costa say, 218 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you work every day? And I said, 219 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't work every day? Like 220 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: I love that. I love the grind. It's every single 221 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: day that you're knee deep in this. And I hope 222 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: that Juan Howard stays there. I mean, as long as 223 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: he's happy, content challenged. I love that. And he prospered 224 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: in the best conference in basketball this year. Probably get 225 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: an extension. But we see this happen a lot of 226 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: times where hey, I signed a seven year deal extension 227 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's like, wait, where 228 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: you going? Yep, and my dream, my new dream job 229 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: is But if you can keep those jobs great, that 230 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: would be my recommendation. There are a lot of people 231 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: in the business who like to bounce around, and they 232 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: like to say that it's a new challenge. How about 233 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: accept the old challenge of continuing to be great at 234 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: some place. But everybody's chasing money. That's what it is, 235 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: chasing money. And then after a while you realize, I 236 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: got money, I don't have. What do I have? I 237 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: don't have any stability here, Like what is my legacy? Hey? 238 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: You bounced around, you bounced around, you bounced around. Hey, 239 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: but look at how much money I made, and then 240 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up empty. And these coaches do have 241 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: a lot of money, But what do you have to 242 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: show for it? Got a lot of jobs? Yeah, I 243 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: just looked at Juan Howard's career salary in the NBA. 244 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: He's all set for the cash. Yeah, he does have 245 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: to worry about whatever Michigan's paid him. That's gravy. Yeah, 246 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: but he wants to be able to prove he can 247 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: coach in the NBA. Oh, I don't know, Like, just 248 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: take him at his word, but that's what he'll fight. 249 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna he'll fight the urge to that opening, and 250 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: you know he's more suited. It feels like to being 251 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: a college coach. There are guys who are college coaches. 252 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier college coach. He was not an NFL coach. 253 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, Nick Saban is a college coach. Mike Shashevski 254 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: a college coach. Coach k flirted with the Lakers many 255 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: many years ago. You'll have to have a different makeup, 256 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: and you also have to know when you get there, 257 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: you're down the totem pole. The players run the league. 258 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, pat Riley was a pro coach. Everything about 259 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: him Ryless as a college coach, it probably would have 260 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: driven him crazy pro coach. For some reason, it worked 261 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: for Ryles, But there are certain coaches where you go 262 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: he fits in college, like Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer's a 263 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: college coach. But there's part of you that says he 264 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: could have had the Texas job. In fact, he was 265 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: offered the Texas job ten million dollars a year. I 266 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: wanted to try something different. Good for him. It's not 267 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: less stressful, and he's going to take the field knowing 268 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: out of those sixteen games or if we get to 269 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule, his team is going to be inferior 270 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: fourteen of those seventeen games. And it was just the 271 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: opposite when he was in college, certainly at Ohio State, 272 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: when you walk on the field and you go, we're 273 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: better than them. He's not going to be able to 274 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: do that at Jacksonville and getting used to that feeling 275 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: of what it's like to lose. He'll lose more games 276 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: in his first season than he probably lost in his 277 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: last five seasons at Ohio State, and losing his what 278 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: kills you? That eats you up. Caliperry, John Caliperry tried 279 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: it in the NBA. It didn't work. That's not who 280 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: he is. Tom Izzo flirted with going to the Cleveland Cavaliers. 281 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: He was going to go to the Calves. That was 282 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: the year on Lebron left, he would have been gone instead. 283 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: You have this legacy at Michigan State. You know Roy 284 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Williams understands understood this is this is who I am, 285 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: my personality, and that's another thing. You have to understand 286 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: who you are. And that's hard for us to do. 287 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: When do you figure out who you are? But you know, 288 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: coach count went to the Nets. That didn't work out. 289 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: You know, I always thought Pete Carroll was a college coach. 290 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: But he's done a great job in Seattle. But I 291 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: just thought he was more geared towards that raw raw 292 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. You know, my guys, and they buy 293 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: into his philosophy. And then you get to the NFL 294 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got a quarterback who says, hey, 295 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: I want to be involved in this. I don't. I 296 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: don't want to be traded. But if I do get traded, 297 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, you don't have that. You might have the 298 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: transfer portal at USC but that's about it. So it's 299 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: kind of crazy basketball. Obviously on the front burner the 300 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: Bears situation that they've been criticized. We have a different 301 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: view of that. With the Seahawks, the offer that they made, 302 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: as I told you about that yesterday, I did find 303 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: out about let's see what time is it twenty after 304 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: about forty five minutes ago the Bears based. The Bears 305 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: basically said, whoever you want on our roster, you can 306 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: have two picks. So they had draft picks and then 307 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: they had their pick of the roster. That's from what 308 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm told that no one was untouchable, but Seattle said no, 309 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: Why did they take the meeting in the first place. 310 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: Didn't they know that there was nothing there? And did 311 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: they get a chance to counter That's what I want 312 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: to know. If John Schneider meets with Ryan Pace of 313 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: the Bears and they're there in North Dakota to see 314 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and then you go, hey, John, I got 315 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: this offer for Russell Wilson. And then if John Schneider 316 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: goes no, or I'll take it back to Pete Carroll, 317 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: then did you get a chance to go, Okay, well, 318 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: what will work? Like? Tell me what would work for you? 319 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: Because they're From what I'm told, there wasn't a scenario 320 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: where they were going to trade with the Bears because 321 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: they don't have a quarterback. But I don't know if 322 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: it's if I'm Seattle. I just set the market. Now 323 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't want this information coming out. They're 324 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: not pleased that I reported this yesterday. But I don't 325 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: worry about that, and I don't play favorites. I just 326 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: tell you what I find out. But they set the market, 327 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: and I think that's what's interesting because now you know, hey, 328 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: this is what they offered and they turn that down. 329 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: But do I think Russ can still be had. I 330 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: think it's going to be difficult. I do. And the 331 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: same with Deshaun Watson. With this lawsuit that's going on, 332 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: or these lawsuits, it'll be difficult to move him.

All of that coming up on Tuesday night, 361 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson posted on Twitter saying, as a result of 362 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: a social media post by a publicity seeking plaintiff's lawyer, 363 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: I recently became aware of a lawsuit that has apparently 364 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: been filed against me. I have not seen the complaint, 365 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: but I know this. I have never treated any woman 366 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: with anything other than the utmost respect. The plaintiff's lawyer 367 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: claims that this isn't about money, but before filing suit, 368 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: he made a baseless six figures settlement demand, which I 369 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: quickly rejected. Unlike him, this isn't about money for me. 370 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: It's about clearing my name and I look forward to 371 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: doing that. Aaron Wilson covers the Texans for the Houston Chronicle, 372 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: kind enough to join us on short notice. Aaron update 373 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: us on when these allegations were first made public with 374 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson just two days ago. Dan Tony Busby unsuccessfully 375 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: ran from mayor and said, remember the Texan a board 376 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: of trustees, very prominent lawyer, a very wealthy lawyer. He 377 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: filed the lawsuit. He announced it first as a law 378 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: unusual on Instagram, saying that the lawsuit had been filed, 379 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: it had not been filed. Was filed the next morning. 380 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: The previous to that, the had, in fact I was told, 381 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: sought money the woman that it made the first allegation 382 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson had sexually harassed her in a massage, 383 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: and all the details have been an outlined in the lawsuit, 384 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: but that was the timeline. So after that happened, then 385 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: subsequently he follows it in Harris County District Court. And 386 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: it only costs me three hundred twenty five dollars to 387 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: follow a lawsuit and the allegations are made, there's no documents. 388 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: The text message of all an apology after their exchange, 389 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: and that's not present. I don't know if that will 390 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: happen to discovery if it in fact it exists. If 391 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: it does, so there's you know that, and you know 392 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Deshaun reacts to it on social denies doing anything disrespectful 393 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: to any Woman's basically a blanket statement. And what's now 394 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: happened is after the initial one, he's asking for anyone 395 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: else to come forward, and that he hasn't filed the 396 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: second lawsuit. That's what happened yesterday. So he comes out 397 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: with a second lawsuit. The legend that Deshaun Watson flew 398 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: in a woman from Atlanta to meet him at the Estonia, 399 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: which is a very fancy spa hotel and kind of 400 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: like a place that other rich folks in Houston hang out. 401 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: It's a country club. Ass back to it, and you know, 402 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: a legend that there was this, you know, different type 403 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: of situation, different massage, but different woman. And so now 404 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: he's saying he has six and he's going to file 405 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: six lawsuits is what twenty months he has stated on Instagram. 406 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: And so we're expecting another filing today and he says 407 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: this one will be you know, have some you know, 408 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you know obviously you know, very solicious details, 409 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: kind of like the last one, which I thought was 410 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, very you know, graphic in nature and some 411 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff that's kind of like hard to repeat 412 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: just on a family radio show. But yeah, it was no, 413 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: definitely a very raw portrayal. And again only allegations, all unproven, 414 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: all civil. My understanding is that never ever was where 415 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: the police called, No allegations were made to you know, 416 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to make it a criminal matter. And like 417 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: DeShawn said, my understanding is it's been a money gram 418 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: from the start, especially with the first alleged victim, Jane Doe. 419 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: Both of these Grimy Jane Does. They'll all be apparently 420 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Jane Does, there won't be a name attached. What about 421 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: the what about the football side of this? So, Aaron, 422 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: the timing of this, we have the draft coming up 423 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: next month, you have the possibility of DeShawn not playing 424 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: for the team, Tyrod Taylor gets signed. Is this all 425 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: coincide that it's all kind of converging right now? And 426 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: what's this do for the so called trade market for 427 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson right There have been a lot of conspiracy 428 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: theories on social media about the timing, including Tyrod Taylor 429 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: You're being signed hours before. My understanding is that is 430 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: coincidental because they always intended to address the quarterback position. 431 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: The way it affects trade value is if there's an 432 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: NFL investigation, they have really when you look at the NFL, 433 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: you know their response yesterday was, you know, they're just 434 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: they have no comment on it, and they're not in 435 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: a stage where I think they're doing anything, and they 436 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: may never do anything. They may just view it as 437 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: a civil matter that they don't want to address. It 438 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: could be handled that way. It could be handled in 439 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: a different way depending on how they feel about it. 440 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: What's the outcome? You know, if what if he settled, 441 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, what would happen? Would they then look at 442 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: it as something like well as that an admission? Do 443 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: we need to look into this more. I'm sure they'll 444 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: monitor everything in terms of the trade market. The teams 445 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: are still interested. I know that for a fact, and 446 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: that has not changed. Would it change the terms if 447 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: they were to get to a point where they're negotiating. 448 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: The Texans are just in a listening mode and or 449 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: telling people, you know, no, we're not interested. They're still 450 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: steadfast and not put to him, and he will not 451 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: play for them again. He is made that unequivically clear 452 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: Dan that he has no intention to ever play another down. 453 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: That's the way he's put it to friends for the Texans. 454 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: He's really intentional in that, and he told David Culley that, 455 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: so you know that's all been communicated. Do you think 456 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: that he's traded. If he's traded, it's before the draft. 457 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance that he could 458 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: be held onto and you know, I wouldn't be and 459 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: if I wouldn't assume anything instead of moving, fluid situation. 460 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: It makes the most logical sense, and everyone knows that 461 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: the value is the highest, and then you know what 462 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: the picks are. If you do it later, if you 463 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: do it in twenty twenty two, then it's not the 464 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: same kind of terms, and it does set, as I've 465 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: been told many times, a terrible precedent. If a player 466 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: can you know, essentially force himself out. And I would 467 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: not rule out of the Texans playing a hardball, but 468 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: can you put it in simplistic terms here, Aaron, what 469 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: is DeShawn Watson's problem with the franchise? Is it on 470 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: the field or off the field. It's off the field 471 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: that his trust in them, and his feelings about how 472 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: business was conducted and the state of the franchise, and 473 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: his interactions obviously with the owner, Tom McNair, and him 474 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: feeling that he was going to have input. It's not 475 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: one thing, as I've been told many times, it's a 476 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: culmination of all those things affecting his trust in the 477 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: organization and how he feels about the organization. So it's 478 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: not just one thing. There's so I would say the 479 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: last is sort of finding out on social media. That's 480 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back then. 481 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: But it's not a situation where you say, man, that's it. No, 482 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: it's just finding out about DeAndre Hopkins trade on social media, 483 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: basically not being consulted that I would say if you 484 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: had one more thing. He just didn't feel like he 485 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: is being treated like a partner of the organization. They 486 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: feel like he's being treated just like a normal player 487 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: in some cases, so that you know, bothered him, and 488 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: it bothered him to the point that he requested the 489 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: trade and that's where they are, and that he's been 490 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: steadfast in that. Man, he's not ludging, not an iota. Well, 491 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Aaron. 492 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us and thank you, thank you 493 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: so much. That's Aaron Wilson.

What a crazy last couple of years in 495 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: Houston with the Astros, the highs of the Astros, the 496 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: lows of the Astros, the highs of the Rockets, the 497 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: lows of the Rockets. And now you have this with 498 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: the Texans. The Texans, even though they make the playoffs, 499 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: they never feel like they truly make the playoffs, because 500 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: there's always that first game on Saturday. It's like who 501 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: underachieved but still made the playoffs. Let's bring in the 502 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: Texans and then they were up big on the Chiefs 503 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: and then lost a twenty four point lead. But a 504 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: couple of things to keep an eye on here if 505 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: you're interested in Deshaun Watson. First of all, is the 506 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: NFL going to investigate? And if the NFL does, that's 507 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: going to take months. If Watson is not traded by 508 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: April twenty nine, that's the first day of the draft, 509 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: then this drags on into the offseason, probably into the 510 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: regular season. Then it gets even uglier if you're going 511 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: to have an offer for DeShawn Watson. If you haven't 512 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: made an offer for Deshaun Watson, are you then going 513 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: to offer a substandard package now because you're going to say, hey, 514 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen with this guy now? 515 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Is this going to be just settle a civil lawsuit 516 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: or two? But either way, it feels like this situation 517 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: is going to greatly reduce the number of teams interested 518 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: in Deshaun Watson. I don't know if it's settled, If 519 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: it's settled. Do we still the you know, the court 520 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: of public opinion. Do we look at him and say 521 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: he's guilty and he's settled. Does that matter? If your 522 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: team brings into Shaun Watson going to stay with him 523 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career. He's only twenty five, 524 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: under contract through twenty twenty five. But this situation is 525 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: I think going to greatly hamper what's going on with 526 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: the Texans if they do indeed decide to try like 527 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: now you go, hey, we gotta trade this guy. Okay, 528 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: I'll find the other team or teams. I go, well, 529 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: hold on here, wait a minute, we were willing to 530 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: give you four first round picks and Christian McCaffrey, hold 531 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: on here, hold on, And you can't hold a press 532 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: conference if you're bringing in Deshaun Watson with all these allegations, 533 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: like you can't make a trade for him. So this 534 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: is going to take some time, you know, the legal process. 535 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: Let it play out, and then where is Houston? Where 536 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: is Deshaun Watson? And where are the potential suitors? Because 537 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: the closer we get to the draft, the more likely 538 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: it is teams are going to start to go to 539 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: Plan B. He's not available. We're going to do this 540 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: in the draft. There's still this doesn't preclude some of 541 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: the other teams that will probably drop everything if Deshaun 542 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Watson's available, but it does. It does severely hamper's what's 543 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: going to happen with Deshaun Watson because imagine if your 544 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: team and all of a sudden they're interested, Well, I 545 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: gotta let this kind of play out first before I 546 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: bring him in, because what happens if the NFL investigates? 547 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: What if he gets suspended? Like, you don't know any 548 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: of this? And what are you giving up for Deshaun Watson? Now? 549 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: So there's a lot more to play out with this. 550 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: The question is if I'm interested in Deshaun Watson, what 551 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: is my timing and at what point do I say 552 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: I got to move on? And are the Texans now 553 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: still steadfast in not trading Deshaun Watson? Like, now you 554 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: get to the point you go, I don't know, maybe 555 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: we should try to And now this is where the 556 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: other teams, the suitors are going, I don't know, hold on, 557 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: let me pump the brakes here a little bit. Yeah. Point. 558 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: It is interesting to see the coverage of situations like 559 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: this because Shaun Watson over the past four years seems 560 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: to have built up a lot of credibility with people. 561 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: You always see videos of him making a donation or 562 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: giving someone a car with a bow on it. You know, 563 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: He's built up a lot of goodwill in the sports 564 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: media the past five years, and I think that affects 565 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: the coverage some athletes when they are accused of something allegedly, 566 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: the coverage is all over them. And sometimes I think 567 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: people in sports me to pump the brakes because of 568 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 1: someone's history of goodwill if and I know those are 569 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: apples in origins, but it is the reality of it. Yeah. Well, 570 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: let's see how many lawsuits there there? How many people 571 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: come forward? You know? Is the New York governor is 572 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: finding out? You know, it's one thing to brush it off, 573 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: another thing when another one comes in, and then another 574 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: one comes in, and then another one comes in. And 575 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: is that what Deshaun Watson is facing? How many lawsuits? 576 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: How many potential victims? And is he gonna have to 577 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: settle all of these out of court? All right, we'll 578 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: take a break play. The day is coming up. Phone 579 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: calls and I want to further at least try to 580 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: explain the Bear's side of this and what they tried 581 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: to do with Russell Wilson, and just give you both 582 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: sides on this because the Bears are being roughed up. 583 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: You know, first of all, Ryan Pace should not still 584 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: be in the job. He's the general manager for the Bears. 585 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: But in this situation, I think he's swinging for the fences. 586 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: And the question is, were the Seahawks willing to be 587 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: even playing baseball with them swinging for the fences? Because 588 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: I don't even know, and I think that's really the 589 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: key question that I would love to ask with the Seahawks. 590 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: But I can pretty much guarantee you nobody from the 591 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Seahawks is going to come on this program after the 592 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: mess I've made of their lives. We'll take a break 593 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: back after this with our play of the day. Thanks 594 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

This is the playoffs day. Check 600 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: this out. Morant into the front Court working on Butler 601 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: getting hounded to the ramblays it up, place it in 602 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: with the left hand, lake to the floor, drive right 603 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: at Jimmy Butler. John Morant has put the Grizzlies up 604 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: by two. Grizzlies Radio Network John Morant drove to the 605 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: basket the game winning field goal against the Heat last night. 606 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: Here's just a little suggestion for John Morant. Don't shoot 607 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: three pointers. He shoots twenty three percent. He makes twenty 608 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: three percent of his three pointers. That's the lowest in 609 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: the NBA among guys with at least one hundred attempts. 610 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: And he shoots just over fifty percent, to be exact, 611 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: fifty point four percent on two point attempts. He's so 612 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: good at slashing. But that's that's something you got to 613 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: work on in the off season, or don't do it 614 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: during the regular season. You know, demarda Rosen doesn't shoot threes. 615 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: It's okay, you know, do what you do great. It's 616 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: so not okay. He goes out in the first and 617 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs every year because he can't 618 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: hit threes. Demarta de Rosen, that is oh like I 619 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: The tweener game is good in the regular season it 620 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: never works in the playoffs, right, isn't that the knock 621 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: on it? Well, you know Memphis doesn't make it to 622 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs to begin with. Yeah, but you can't shoot 623 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: twenty three percent from three point. I had no idea. 624 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: Who is that bad? I guess who had a three 625 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: last night? Ben Simmons? Yes, Ben, Ben shot is not bad. 626 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: It's on and we've seen Lonzo Ball has improved his shot. 627 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 1: But I think Ben, it's more about that confidence level 628 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: that it's It's crazy what the mind does to your 629 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: game in all sports. You know where a golfer, where 630 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: you go? I got the yips? How'd you get it? 631 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: You start thinking, you get to the play and all 632 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you start thinking too much. You overthink 633 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: too much. Same with shooting basketball, Like you look at 634 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: that and you go, god, it seems so far away 635 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: or I'm wide open. Guys would rather have people on 636 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: them than have a wide open shot. But John Morant 637 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: do what you do well. But in the offseason, you 638 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: got to put some time into the lab. You got 639 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: to become a knocked down at least you have to be, 640 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: because I look at him as a Dame Lillard type 641 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: player that he's just got all this athleticism. He can slash, 642 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: but he's you know, the difference is Dame Lillard is 643 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 1: one of the great clutch shooters we've seen in recent history, 644 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: and he can shoot deep, which makes his game even better. 645 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: Because now I got to pick my poison with Jah Morant. 646 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: I just I said, go ahead, shoot go ahead. I'm good. 647 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,919 Speaker 1: I don't want you get into the hoop. Yeah. Point. 648 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons first two years in the NBA, he was 649 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: over seventeen from three zero percent. I figured that out. 650 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: Last year he was two for seven, this year three 651 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: for eight. He's up to thirty seven percent. Three point. Yeah, 652 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: but it's not bad. He shoots one every two weeks. 653 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: It's it's his shot is not bad. At that rate, 654 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: he'll be shooting one thousand percent in three year. I 655 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: like it, Yes, MC, I'm so excited that you like 656 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: his form now that you've made my day. Not like, 657 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: but at least I say it's acceptable. Yes. Is he 658 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: ever gonna shake that stigma though, of being a guy 659 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: who can't shoot? I don't know. But that's what makes 660 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: him the most polarizing player in the NBA because people 661 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: aren't sure if he's really great, an All Star? Or 662 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: is he overhyped? Is he good? Not everybody you know? 663 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: We we focus on what you don't do instead of 664 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: he's a guy who can average a triple double. He 665 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: could because it's like sixteen points, eight rebounds, eight assists. 666 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: Those are still quality numbers here. It's just yeah, but 667 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: he can't shoot the three. Yep. At some point if 668 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: he wants to hit that other level of sort of 669 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: elite greatness, Yeah, it's gonna come down to who's taking 670 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: the last shot to win the game. And if man 671 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: does it feel like it's a long way to go 672 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: until you say his name. Yeah.

By the way, 679 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, does it feel like he's been around the 680 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: league for a long time. No, he's twenty four years 681 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: old and this is only his fourth season. Yeah, he 682 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: missed that first year because of that foot injury. Yeah, 683 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: it feels like he's been around a while. I still 684 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: like him. I look at what you do well. I 685 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: don't look at what you don't do well. And that's 686 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: what that's always going to be the knock. If I 687 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: looked at Steve Nash and I said, he can't play defense, okay, well, 688 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: what does he do on offense? We get caught up 689 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: in this Trey Young. He can't play defense. What's he 690 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: do on offense? Tell me what you do well, like 691 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: really well, and then we can work on the other things. 692 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: But can't continue to do what you do well. And 693 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: Ben can play defense, although we don't value that. He's 694 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 1: a really good defender on ball. Defender gets to the hoop, 695 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: he rebounds, he passes, He just that midrange jumper is 696 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: what I'd work on. He doesn't have to shoot the three. 697 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: When's the last time you said, you know Durant, he 698 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: doesn't shoot the three. He shoots mid range jump. It's 699 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: okay for Durant, but it's not okay for Ben Simmons. 700 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: To shoot a mid range jumper, you gotta shoot three. 701 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: He he can't shoot the three, okay, He can't. Now 702 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: Durant can shoot the three, but he lives with that 703 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: mid range jumper, and that's what I would have Ben Simmons. 704 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: Let's work on the mid range jumper. Let's start there. Yeah, McClellan, 705 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: I think you should take credit for reinventing brook Lopez's 706 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: game because remember he never shot at three. Now he's 707 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: one of the I think he's one of the leaders 708 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: in the NBA. Yes, yeah. In fact, I even said 709 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: to him when he got into the All Star Game, 710 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: I said, hey, would you shoot a three for us? 711 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: And he did? He shot at three in the All 712 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: Star Game. Yeah, Paul, this is unbelievable. The year he 713 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: became an All Star, he averaged point one three point 714 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: attempts per game. Point one. He took eight on a 715 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: season in eighty two games. The next season, he averaged 716 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: five point two three point attempts per game, shooting thirty 717 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: four percent. He's up to like thirty seven percent from three. Yeah, 718 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: he went from not taking any to five attempts a 719 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: game and hitting. We changed his career. We just showed 720 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: the Greek freak. He was ordering a cheese steak after 721 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: the win against the seventy six ers last night, and 722 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: I guess there is there etiquette in ordering. East mccleven. Yeah, 723 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: it's like that, you know that soup guy in Seinfeld. 724 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: You're supposed to say it the right way at certain places. 725 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: I guess, well, how do you order it? So whiz 726 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: with or whiz without? Is whiz cheese, Yes, cheese whiz 727 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: and it's it's whizz whipped, which I always saw met 728 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: with onions or without onions, although I can't I can't 729 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: say that for sure, but part of it is too. 730 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: I think this has been on TV so many times 731 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: that I think you sound like an outsider if you 732 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: actually say that. Now. I feel like if you walk 733 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: into Genos and say I've whizz with, it looks like 734 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: you looked it up on the internet right before. I'm 735 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: just looking what it says here. If you'd like to 736 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: add a fried onion, you say wit. If not, you 737 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: say whit out and then whizwit. That's cheese whiz. But 738 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: I think if you just order normally, they would give 739 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: you what you wanted. I think, yeah, do I have 740 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: to use that language when I think so? In fact, 741 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: I think you sound like a Doric. If you do 742 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: use that language, it doesn't come out naturally? Would you 743 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: call me all one more item here? Is we close 744 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: out first down? Or Phil Mickelson, Xanders Shafley, John Rom 745 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm dropping some names there.
