Speaker 1: at the combine all week long. We'll talk to him
Speaker 1: coming up. Also, the Rams head coach Sean McVay will
Speaker 1: stop by and from entertainment tonight, we'll talk to Kevin
Speaker 1: Fraser and Michelle Turner. It's the annual visit after the
Speaker 1: Academy Awards. It's amazing watching and watching last night, the
Speaker 1: number of movies that you don't see but you have
Speaker 1: an opinion on. Like Demi Moore did not win. I
Speaker 1: thought she was going to and it's for the movie Substance.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the movie, but I thought she deserved
Speaker 1: to win the Academy Award, which is really we became
Speaker 1: experts last night over the span of about three hours.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, yeah, all right, you know the Conclave.
Speaker 1: They could come out of nowhere and win. Like I
Speaker 1: didn't even see the movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, you just described every man on the planet modern day.
Speaker 3: I didn't see what I'm talking about. But I'm an
Speaker 3: expert only and I have a very strong opinion that's
Speaker 3: essentially modern society.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I did see a few of
Speaker 1: the movies I did. I saw Nora, I saw Amria
Speaker 1: Barres as well. The best movie, okay, the most impactful
Speaker 1: movie that I saw.
Speaker 2: It was Wicked. No, it wasn't Wicked.
Speaker 1: It was The Nickel Boys, The book is incredible, very powerful.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm glad it got nominated. Hopefully people will watch it
Speaker 1: or maybe read the book. But you want to talk
Speaker 1: about an impactful movie story the Nickel Boys, and you
Speaker 1: can google it go into the details there of what
Speaker 1: these you know, poor kids went through. But I saw
Speaker 1: some of substance. I saw some of you know how
Speaker 1: I am my My add kicks in and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I watched a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'll get back to it. The Conclave.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Timothy Shallabay was great as Bob Dylan,
Speaker 1: so Adrian Brody. I started watching The Brutalist, but it
Speaker 1: was three and a half hours long, and you know
Speaker 1: that's going to take me like a month to get
Speaker 1: through that. But yeah, everybody had an opinion. I just
Speaker 1: felt bad, you know, to me, Moore, this was her chance?
Speaker 1: Was she sixty two years of age? You got this
Speaker 1: role of a lifetime, she gave everything to it. Then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got this twenty five year
Speaker 1: old out of Anora. And I thought she was spectacular
Speaker 1: in that movie Anora is it Mikey Madison? She was great, great,
Speaker 1: And it's an indie film and I love that the
Speaker 1: director Sean Baker did a wonderful job with it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a frenetic pace. You're you're holding your breath, You're
Speaker 1: exhausted when that movie is over. But I just didn't
Speaker 1: know if Hollywood would go, yeah, we'll give it to her,
Speaker 1: but we won't give it to me.
Speaker 2: More.
Speaker 1: I thought they would reward her, and I thought that
Speaker 1: that might hurt Timothy Chalome as well, that you know,
Speaker 1: maybe too young, which I don't. I don't get that.
Speaker 1: You know, you'll get around to it, and then you
Speaker 1: do an al Pacino sensible woman. Considering all the great
Speaker 1: things Paccino did and MC guy, we got to give
Speaker 1: him an Academy Award one of these days.
Speaker 2: How about sensible woman?
Speaker 6: Who?
Speaker 4: Yeah, pul what would be the sports comp for de
Speaker 4: mean more situation? An actress who's done it a long
Speaker 4: time finally gets nominated, probably won't be back. Is that
Speaker 4: like Matt Ryan and the Super Bowl? Did a lot
Speaker 4: of good work, got one chance, never got back. Maybe
Speaker 4: how about this one? Here's a better shut question. Okay,
Speaker 4: Kieran Culkin is the Danny Hurley of the Oscars, The
Speaker 4: younger the older brother was super duper famous. Really early
Speaker 4: and then just kind of went away. Mcaulay Culkin, he
Speaker 4: still works, but he was a superstar three decades ago.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you got Kieran who was in succession.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he had a slow burn to his career.
Speaker 4: So Bobby Hurley is Macaulay Culkin. Danny Hurley is Karen Collen.
Speaker 2: You're proud of this, aren't you fair? I was gonna.
Speaker 4: Say, a coward you're feeling that one?
Speaker 1: I thought I thought kiaren Cochin might be penalized for
Speaker 1: acting like kiaren Cochin in this movie.
Speaker 4: He's a great speech giver.
Speaker 2: But now that he played the role is great.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a dramedy about the Holocaust, a real pain,
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, they had to basically force
Speaker 1: him to do the movie. Emma Stone is a producer
Speaker 1: and Jesse Eisenberg did a wonderful job with the script,
Speaker 1: but they he was not going to get on the
Speaker 1: plane to go. He did not want to do this movie.
Speaker 1: And it's you know, you see the movie and he
Speaker 1: does a great job.
Speaker 2: He really does.
Speaker 1: But then I saw some columns where there it's like, well,
Speaker 1: was he really acting?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what it is but watching
Speaker 1: that last night, and you know, I tune in not
Speaker 1: necessarily for the movies, but who's there, who's presenting, who's
Speaker 1: in the audience, those kind of Adam Sandler showed up,
Speaker 1: looked like a mess on purpose, But it was a funny,
Speaker 1: funny bit there, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: Every single year I say the same thing when I
Speaker 7: watched the Oscars. The funny thing about the Oscars is
Speaker 7: all these awards, you only know four people in those categories.
Speaker 7: You only know best Actor, best Actress, Best Supporting Actor
Speaker 7: and actress, everything else. You don't know the best cinematographer.
Speaker 7: You might know best song if it's a famous artist,
Speaker 7: but other than that, who had you know best Adapted Screenplay?
Speaker 2: Well, Diane Warren lost again. Damn.
Speaker 7: I thought it was her year.
Speaker 1: Well, she was up for Best Song. I think she's
Speaker 1: She's been nominated like fifteen times something crazy, seventeen, seventeen
Speaker 1: and never won. Do you go like, after a while,
Speaker 1: did you just say, Like the Sports Emmys, there's twice
Speaker 1: where I didn't go and you know, didn't win, but
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, I had something else
Speaker 1: and then I just said I'm not going in now.
Speaker 1: If we were nominated, then I would go in even
Speaker 1: though I know we'd lose, but still I'd still go
Speaker 1: in so we could lose together. But yeah, it's one
Speaker 1: of those where you go you're sitting there and it's years,
Speaker 1: like to me, more years and years and years. Nobody's
Speaker 1: taking you seriously as an actress. You're just a pretty person,
Speaker 1: pretty woman, but you know, got a good resume, likable
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis was your husband, you know, And then you
Speaker 1: get this role and she nails it by all accounts,
Speaker 1: and you're there and you're waiting.
Speaker 2: You know that tension.
Speaker 1: I look, we do it on a small basis of
Speaker 1: Sports Emmys, but damn it, it's our Academy Awards. And
Speaker 1: when your name is called or it's not called, it
Speaker 1: is so high and so low. And I just can't
Speaker 1: imagine what to me Moore was thinking. And you could
Speaker 1: see it. They had the camera on her and she
Speaker 1: nods and she goes nice and she's lost the Academy Ward.
Speaker 1: I mean, in her mind she lost it. It's not
Speaker 1: that somebody else won. She lost. Does she get other
Speaker 1: opportunities now because of this? You know, the way Hollywood
Speaker 1: is with women over the age of forty it'll be difficult.
Speaker 1: You had a movie that really struck a chord with
Speaker 1: her about being beautiful and then losing that but the
Speaker 1: opportunity to get it back, but it comes with a price.
Speaker 1: But everybody's going to be a movie critic today. Everybody
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, uh, yeah, you know that whatever
Speaker 1: movie it is, and you're like, didn't see it. But
Speaker 1: that guy Ray Fines got ripped off. He should have
Speaker 1: wanted for the conclave. Yes, todd Singsing got snubbed.
Speaker 2: How do you not win that award?
Speaker 1: All right, So we'll just come up with maybe sports
Speaker 1: comps for some of the folks who didn't win.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, we're working on one for Adrian Brody. He
Speaker 4: won the Academy Award for Best Actor in OH three
Speaker 4: for the Pianist. Correct, then it's twenty three years later
Speaker 4: he wins it again. Is there an athlete who won
Speaker 4: when they're really young and really old? Any sport? Okay,
Speaker 4: TV twelve Okay, Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they also went in between. So I need
Speaker 1: to have a twenty year GW.
Speaker 4: Least at least fifteen sports wise, because we work it down.
Speaker 2: So somebody who won early and then won later. We'll
Speaker 2: work on that. This is a sharp pot, Duncan.
Speaker 4: It's not bad though. It's a good call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he won five titles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's yeah, the other three and they're the
Speaker 1: one and then the one at the very end. All right,
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three DP shows who always do every
Speaker 1: Monday best and worst of the weekend. A couple other things.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford back with the Rams. I thought it was
Speaker 1: going to take a two year guaranteed deal of one
Speaker 1: hundred million. I'm not sure the final numbers, but it's
Speaker 1: probably in that vicinity. The Commanders quietly acquired Deebo Samuel
Speaker 1: for the Niners. Yesterday, I'm watching the combine. I'm watching
Speaker 1: in real time. Boy, nice weekend, Dan, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm watching Rich Eisen Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 2: All of a.
Speaker 1: Sudden, Rich goes, let's go to Ian Rappaport Baba, and
Speaker 1: then he goes The forty nine Ers have traded Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth round pick. Oh well,
Speaker 1: I immediately text the dan Ets and fifth round pick
Speaker 1: is nothing. Now you're going to have to pay his salary.
Speaker 1: There might be in the final year of his deal,
Speaker 1: but you get Deebo Samuel. Here's a trap we fall
Speaker 1: into sometimes when your team is successful one year and
Speaker 1: then you think that success translates into success the following year.
Speaker 1: Now what I'm getting at is the Commanders were a
Speaker 1: wonderful story, went to the NFC title game.
Speaker 2: Didn't they win five?
Speaker 1: Six, seven games and the final play, final thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: That is not sustainable in the NFL. And I know
Speaker 1: it's not in vogue to say, will the Commanders take
Speaker 1: a step back now? I looked at the Texans cooled
Speaker 1: off from one year to the next. Now again, they're
Speaker 1: in a bad division. The Commanders don't have that luxury.
Speaker 1: But I think they won maybe six or seven games
Speaker 1: in the on the last play or the final thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: You're not If you win three of those, that's that's
Speaker 1: probably a monumental feat. What I'm saying is the Commanders
Speaker 1: were very fortunate. It last year, great storing, but they
Speaker 1: were fortunate. Jaden Daniels was great, They held on, you
Speaker 1: know Fluke play against the Bears like they had things
Speaker 1: that fell for them. It doesn't always happen that way.
Speaker 1: And this is where I think that they they have
Speaker 1: to get better. I didn't think they were a great team.
Speaker 1: I thought they were a great story. And I'm curious
Speaker 1: what they're over under will be for next year. It
Speaker 1: might be ten wins, but now you can say a
Speaker 1: lot about the teams that is able to win those games.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in those situations. I I'd
Speaker 1: rather have a quarterback where you go, how many fourth
Speaker 1: quarter comebacks did he have? Not that many because he
Speaker 1: didn't need to. But it's nice to know when you
Speaker 1: have that situation, you have a team that can win.
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel banged up, hasn't had over a thousand yards
Speaker 1: receiving the last three years. Doesn't have to be the man.
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin is, Jayden Daniels give you another toy to
Speaker 1: play with. And I in Cliff Kingsbury's offense good if
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, it's a big, big pickup for them.
Speaker 1: But are you going to have him for one year?
Speaker 1: Are you going to want to extend him? And I
Speaker 1: think it's you might be getting twenty million dollars, so
Speaker 1: you always got to play the salary cap game of
Speaker 1: you and now the Niners. The Niners have gotten to
Speaker 1: the point where we've spoken about this. You have a
Speaker 1: window of opportunity. What is their window of opportunity now?
Speaker 1: Because the NFC West isn't great, but it's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's competitive, And I don't think it's a foregone conclusion
Speaker 1: that you look at the Niners like to me, the Rams,
Speaker 1: they're young, Stafford's back. I mean, I love what they're
Speaker 1: doing right now. You got Pookinakoupa there. But you know,
Speaker 1: you start to look at these windows, like the Lions
Speaker 1: window of opportunity, and we always go, well, wait till
Speaker 1: next year, okay, And then we said that about the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Well, hey, they've got a lot of time.
Speaker 1: Well now you got to pay. Now, you got to
Speaker 1: pay your quarterback, and you know, the casualties as a result.
Speaker 1: This happens to teams all the time. Happened to Seattle
Speaker 1: when they lucked into Russell Wilson and then they had
Speaker 1: him for years. Keep the defense intact. Rock Perty is
Speaker 1: going to get paid. Brandon Nyuk is probably not going
Speaker 1: to be with the team next year. Can Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: play anymore? Trent Williams, you got one more year?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: You start to look and go, you know, George Kittle
Speaker 1: contracts up. Are they're going to extend him? So you
Speaker 1: have these questions, but I like what the commanders did.
Speaker 1: Be aggressive, and if I'm the commanders, I'm all in
Speaker 1: on Miles Garrett. All in, let's go because you know
Speaker 1: who is lurking for Miles Garrett, the Philadelphia Eagles. You
Speaker 1: got full speed ahead, man. Once again, the window of opportunity,
Speaker 1: go for it, go for it. Trade draft picks. That's potential.
Speaker 1: I can get that guy right there. You're trading the
Speaker 1: thirtieth pick. So what go all in because if you
Speaker 1: don't get him, maybe Detroit gets him and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna see him in the playoffs. All right, we're just
Speaker 1: getting started. We'll settle on a poll question. We'll have
Speaker 1: that your phone calls always welcome, best and worst to
Speaker 1: the weekend. We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1: Play of the Day, stat of the Day, all of
Speaker 1: that forthcoming. Seaton, Let's pull question from the first hour,
Speaker 1: got a.
Speaker 3: Couple options here from me, probably just sent a couple over.
Speaker 3: Most promising team in the NFL right now?
Speaker 2: Is dot dot promising?
Speaker 3: Promising being the keyword there, Commander, they're promising Texans are
Speaker 3: It feels a little different than the commander's version of
Speaker 3: promising Chargers Broncos other neither Neither.
Speaker 1: Are the Eagles promising? They can't be promising like they're
Speaker 1: going to promise another.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl you already promised and delivered on said promise.
Speaker 3: I would say the Lions aren't promising either. They're already
Speaker 3: they've graduated, They've already become expected.
Speaker 2: Is the Green Bay Packers promising?
Speaker 4: They're simmering? I don't know if they're promising. That's a
Speaker 4: whole different. Yeah question, you feel like we're not sure
Speaker 4: which direction.
Speaker 1: They're simmering, simmering, simmering, But.
Speaker 4: Like Denver feels, oh, they're next up to get the
Speaker 4: treatment of. This is the team to keep an eye
Speaker 4: on next year, sneaky quarterback?
Speaker 2: What other pole question?
Speaker 3: Seatan Uh, we got another one here? Would you rather
Speaker 3: have very small hands?
Speaker 2: Are very short arms?
Speaker 4: As a civilian?
Speaker 1: Well, this is the short arm season. It feels like
Speaker 1: the combine it was all about guys who had short arms. Now,
Speaker 1: normally it's your hands. Jalen Milrow, his hands grew. I
Speaker 1: guess in the month when they grow a half inch,
Speaker 1: something create And I don't know how that works other
Speaker 1: than you stretch. They actually go to somebody who helps
Speaker 1: you stretch your hands. But the short arm. Can I
Speaker 1: stretch my arms to make them longer? I think there's
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman and like Will Campbell. Maybe they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a big guy, mean, but he've got
Speaker 1: short arms. Okay, what does that mean? And then they
Speaker 1: said it was like a quarter of an inch shorter
Speaker 1: than what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: Quarter of an inch.
Speaker 3: Thanks, I don't that's gonna cost him millions of dollars
Speaker 3: that quarter.
Speaker 2: Yees.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's gonna give up sacks. He's going to be
Speaker 1: a turnstyle out there, plummeting right now his dress. The
Speaker 1: only guy that I ever saw and I couldn't take
Speaker 1: my eyes off of him when it was pointed out
Speaker 1: to me he had short arms. Bill Laimbeer he had
Speaker 1: short arms, and every time I would see him, it
Speaker 1: just felt like, oh damn, he does he have short arms?
Speaker 1: But I don't you hear this? Sometimes you know a waistbender. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have flexibility, pliability. And we're always looking for
Speaker 1: what is the new catchphrase in the NFL, and now
Speaker 1: we got short arm season.
Speaker 4: Yes, I have Aaron Donald's draft profile out of pit.
Speaker 2: He's got to have short arms, huge.
Speaker 4: Concern, huge red flag. Aaron Donald was in the bottom
Speaker 4: third of arm length at the combine. It seemed to
Speaker 4: work out though.
Speaker 1: It seemed like his arms were long enough to grab
Speaker 1: your quarterback and sack him, to push your guy in
Speaker 1: the back. Yeah, that's all I really need there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there were a couple of linemen they have short arms.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to affect them.
Speaker 7: Yes, Marv, do you know who Jaylen Morroll saw to
Speaker 7: stretch his hands out, ask for a Frank.
Speaker 2: I'm asking four frank.
Speaker 1: I'll check into that. See see if that specialist can
Speaker 1: come here and work with you. I mean, can come
Speaker 1: here somebody I know somebody you know, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: Jaylen Milroe at the Senior ball his hand size was
Speaker 4: eight and three quarters inches, which is Kenny pickettish And
Speaker 4: that was a big red flag. We actually sat on
Speaker 4: the air. He's got a month to get ready for
Speaker 4: the combine, and he clearly did. Now he's up to
Speaker 4: nine and three ACE, which is he's out of the
Speaker 4: danger zone.
Speaker 1: Okay, clearly. I think he's got other things he needs
Speaker 1: to work on. Well, but look on his hands.
Speaker 2: He took care of one thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hey, look mom, no hands all right? Eight seven,
Speaker 1: seven to three DP show. Get a couple of phone
Speaker 1: calls in here. A couple other headlines aside from Stafford
Speaker 1: with the RAMS commanders with Debo Combine wrapping up. Rick
Speaker 1: Patino's doing it again. Amazing. It's like a time machine.
Speaker 1: You're going, wait a minute, what is he doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Doing it again.
Speaker 1: In the Big East, Cavaliers have won ten in a row.
Speaker 1: The Lakers playing some really good defense. He've won eight
Speaker 1: out of ten. You've got rockets and the thunder coming
Speaker 1: up tonight. Let me see Gus in La leads this off. Hi, Gus,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Do we have phones today?
Speaker 2: Marvin?
Speaker 7: I'm looking into it right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so those on hold, we'll try to
Speaker 1: get to you technical difficulties. Please stand by. With the Lakers,
Speaker 1: you had Luca had twenty nine and nine and La
Speaker 1: is seven and two. Since Luca made his Laker debut,
Speaker 1: they won six games in a row and Lebron had it. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, seventeen and nine. I think if you combine,
Speaker 1: here's one for in this amazing you combine the regular
Speaker 1: season and the postseason. Lebron James career points forty nine thousand,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna get it.
Speaker 10: Good day the day, pop stead of the day stat
Speaker 10: of the day, here comes that?
Speaker 2: What stat of the.
Speaker 1: Sean McVay A little bit later on and we'll wrap
Speaker 1: up the Oscars with Kevin Fraser and Michelle Turner from
Speaker 1: Entertainment tonight. Peter Schrager was at the Combine all week
Speaker 1: and he'll join us on loan from NFL Network.
Speaker 2: Yes, ton So, is that a game stopping milestone?
Speaker 7: Since he just needs one points? So the game starts
Speaker 7: and he taps one in or he gets a lamper,
Speaker 7: hits a free throw, and then does everything stop for
Speaker 7: several minutes? First one to fifty thousand? What do you
Speaker 7: do there?
Speaker 2: It's the Lakers. Any reason to celebrate? Get clicks? Yes,
Speaker 2: you give me a little like eight to eleven seconds
Speaker 2: or something into the game, and all of a sudden there's.
Speaker 1: That Nobody else is getting to fifty thousand points, so
Speaker 1: why not take another victory left. I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure out face of the NBA controversy that was all
Speaker 1: last week where you got ESPN personalities are weighing in
Speaker 1: with Lebron. Anthony Edwards doesn't want to be the face
Speaker 1: of the NBA. All the media does is criticize the NBA.
Speaker 1: And then it's a back and forth with Steven A
Speaker 1: and Lebron and yeah, you know, there is reason to
Speaker 1: be critical of the NBA. But I to throw up,
Speaker 1: open up a large umbrella and say all the media
Speaker 1: is underneath that umbrella criticizing the NBA. We're certainly not
Speaker 1: a show that does that. But I think, you know,
Speaker 1: are there a lot of people, Yes, they are hot
Speaker 1: take people who may not want to focus on the
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons or the Houston Rockets or the Cavaliers.
Speaker 2: They play the hits.
Speaker 1: Lebron, of all people, should understand how the media works,
Speaker 1: and he's wanted to be the face of the NBA,
Speaker 1: And like, you can't come out and call yourself the king,
Speaker 1: the chosen one. Take Mike's number twenty three. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's just stop with that. If Anthony Edwards doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be the face of the NBA, so what I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that? Well, sometimes you're the face of the
Speaker 1: NBA without trying to be the face. Lebron was trying
Speaker 1: to be the face. He wanted to emulate Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: at every step of the way. So Lebron is still
Speaker 1: the face of the NBA, like it or not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauling I went back and looked and in December
Speaker 4: there was a lot of articles about the first month
Speaker 4: of the NBA season, how down their ratings were. We
Speaker 4: talked about it. Every show talks about it. It's math,
Speaker 4: it's numbers. We were just reporting numbers and discussing it
Speaker 4: and pointing out possible reasons. I don't know if that's hypercritical,
Speaker 4: but we did talk about it.
Speaker 1: Well. We wanted to know why is it the game itself?
Speaker 1: Is it too many threes? We've talked about the All
Speaker 1: Star Game, We've talked about load management, like these are
Speaker 1: all real things. You know, when guys are going to
Speaker 1: be paid a million dollars a game your audience, and
Speaker 1: granted the money's already been spent by these TV networks,
Speaker 1: they spend billions of dollars, So I don't know, you
Speaker 1: know how much the players care. They all got their
Speaker 1: their money, they'll get more money. But I think as
Speaker 1: a consumer, you got to worry about your advertisers making
Speaker 1: sure you keep them happy because ESPN or you know,
Speaker 1: Amazon or whoever you know, broadcasting partners, NBC, they still
Speaker 1: need to get money from advertisers for that product. They've
Speaker 1: they've spent the money. Now they want to recoup some money.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if people are going out of
Speaker 1: their way to be overly negative.
Speaker 2: I think there are.
Speaker 1: Times when you call it out, like the seventy six
Speaker 1: have done stupid moves here. They should be called out.
Speaker 1: They have four hundred and five million dollars due to
Speaker 1: Joe Ellenbiid and Paul George.
Speaker 5: That is.
Speaker 1: That's front office malpractice, so they should be called out.
Speaker 1: Kawhi had thirty three points, and you go, I don't
Speaker 1: care because who knows when he's going to play again.
Speaker 1: The storylines they're not going to be covered by the
Speaker 1: major networks. They're not going to you're not going to
Speaker 1: get first take or whatever any of these shows that
Speaker 1: are going to be spending any time on some of
Speaker 1: these other stories that are interesting, even the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers,
Speaker 1: what are they fifty and ten? Fifty and ten? You
Speaker 1: have less than ten teams in the history of the game.
Speaker 1: I think that have gone fifty and ten. Nothing sexy
Speaker 1: about them. That's why they won't be covered. So that's
Speaker 1: please understand that there are reasons why when you tune in,
Speaker 1: you can tune into ESPN right now, it'll be about
Speaker 1: the Lakers pretty much, guarantee, or Aaron Rodgers, maybe going
Speaker 1: to the Giants, question mark, that's what is happening. And look,
Speaker 1: I was part of the machine there at ESPN. You
Speaker 1: played the hits. It was Yankees, Red Sox, it was
Speaker 1: Duke North Carolina basketball. It was the same things over
Speaker 1: and over and over, and after a while you're like,
Speaker 1: can we mix it up a little bit? But hey,
Speaker 1: we got research that says this is what people want
Speaker 1: to hear. Or if you're flipping through and they could
Speaker 1: be talking about Caid Cunningham or Luka Doncic, what are
Speaker 1: you going to stop on the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't play.
Speaker 3: I think the origin of the face of the NBA
Speaker 3: story is Anthony Edwards, right, Yeah, publicly said he doesn't
Speaker 3: want to be the face of the NBA, and people,
Speaker 3: I think reacted negatively to that because I think we
Speaker 3: have this expectation that if you're playing in the league
Speaker 3: and you're good, then you should want to be that guy.
Speaker 3: And so it's weird when people sort of push back
Speaker 3: on it, say, I don't actually want to be I
Speaker 3: just want to play basketball.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy. But look at
Speaker 1: what we did to Mike Trout. Mike Trout doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be the face of baseball. Even when he had
Speaker 1: the opportunity, when he was the best player in baseball,
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it.
Speaker 3: People basically left him alone and let him not be
Speaker 3: the face of baseball. And now you rarely mention his name,
Speaker 3: and he's like, perfect, I get to make sixty five
Speaker 3: million a year, not make the playoffs and still be like, man,
Speaker 3: it's a shame what happened to Mike Trout. I just
Speaker 3: got yeah, one point five billion dollars in the bank
Speaker 3: and never had to play in a meaningful game.
Speaker 2: Gus in La, Hi, Gus, are you there?
Speaker 10: Good?
Speaker 5: More than mister Padre? I hope you're and the boys
Speaker 5: had a great weekend uh, best of the weekend for me,
Speaker 5: The Oscar weekend finally over. This time of year is
Speaker 5: finally over. Your God is finally over. I get to
Speaker 5: rest now, I get to sleep.
Speaker 1: Okay, most famous person you saw where you work was
Speaker 1: who are you allowed to say this?
Speaker 5: Uh? Yeah, well we we had a big bash. We
Speaker 5: had a big party. So pretty much every nomine always
Speaker 5: comes out just depends on who it is, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean, Like everybody was there. Sydney Sweeney, dear
Speaker 5: God that I fall in love every time. Uh, Monica Barbara,
Speaker 5: she was nominated last night for Bob Dylan film That
Speaker 5: Girl's Beautiful God. Al Pacino? Who Leo? Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: just kind of depends on you know, Kim Kardashian, whoever,
Speaker 5: depends on what your cup.
Speaker 6: Of tea is.
Speaker 2: Who had the biggest entourage.
Speaker 5: Making a goncharg Leo? Leo had the biggest entourage men
Speaker 5: and with it. Let me tell you, yeah it was
Speaker 5: It was just not man. I'm like I told Tyler,
Speaker 5: felt like I worked forty eight hours in two days,
Speaker 5: three days. But but no, bast to the weekend by
Speaker 5: far as that I can finally sleep now.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I got to worry about this for another year. But yeah,
Speaker 5: got to got to watch a little bit of basketball.
Speaker 5: My Lady Trojan Big Ten title over Ucla. That was
Speaker 5: fun to watch, my Lakers playing great ball, hands down.
Speaker 5: Now I get to rest and just kick back and
Speaker 5: watch you boys.
Speaker 1: You boys have a hell of a week, all right,
Speaker 1: Go get go to bed. He sounds like he's been
Speaker 1: up all night for a couple of nights and not partying.
Speaker 2: Working.
Speaker 1: I watched Juju Watkins and we said this last year
Speaker 1: that there is the possibility she could be the best
Speaker 1: player in the game, not college basketball. She plays at
Speaker 1: USC She's wonderful. You talk about both ends of the floor.
Speaker 1: I think she had eight blocks in a game earlier
Speaker 1: this year. She just plays differently than everybody else. Now,
Speaker 1: is she as impactful as Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2: She's not.
Speaker 1: What Caitlin did brought people out who probably didn't care
Speaker 1: about women's basketball, But you know it's Caitlin Clark would
Speaker 1: be like Neil Armstronge. She's the first person on the moon,
Speaker 1: and now Juju Watkins is circling. She is great and
Speaker 1: going to be great and could turn out to be
Speaker 1: the best player when she gets to the WNBA, yes, Marvin, all.
Speaker 2: Right, so random.
Speaker 7: The WNB All Star Game is in Indianapolis this year, right,
Speaker 7: So my suggestion is should they put the WNBA All
Speaker 7: Star Game in Lucas Oil and try to put forty
Speaker 7: thousand people in the season They already do the arena.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean, but if you don't want it to
Speaker 1: be half empty, like you want it to be full,
Speaker 1: because there are times I remember when the Palace in
Speaker 1: Auburn Hills, Remember they would black out the whole top
Speaker 1: part of the palace, the silver Dome, yeah, Silver Dome, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they weren't going to fill it up. You want
Speaker 1: to make sure that it is an incredibly rock as
Speaker 1: crowd full, not there's empty seats there. You want it
Speaker 1: to be where you can't get a ticket, and it'll
Speaker 1: probably be that. As much as they love their basketball
Speaker 1: in Indiana. But Juju Watkins is the deal.
Speaker 2: She is her, and.
Speaker 1: You'll see more of her come March Madness, probably playing
Speaker 1: in a championship game or at least getting close to it,
Speaker 1: but just different and a great, great two way player.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up.

Speaker 6: What up DP Happy Monday boys, Ambassador of humor. Let's
Speaker 6: go baby cool real quick, Dan, I'm in in on
Speaker 6: Sydney Sweeney and I realized last night that the Combine
Speaker 6: and the Oscars they have a lot in common. I mean,
Speaker 6: both have an amazing amount of overcoverage and analysis. Everything
Speaker 6: is awesome.
Speaker 11: Everyone looks great and promising, and outfits are always a topic,
Speaker 11: and everyone gets their flowers in their time. I mean,
Speaker 11: it was pretty crazy.
Speaker 6: But best of the weekend DP our.
Speaker 11: Man Adam Sandler looking like he's about to ball out
Speaker 11: some dads on the playground while sitting in the sea
Speaker 11: of tuxedos and then proceeds to walk off. That was
Speaker 11: awesome and worst of the weekend, DP oh Man, Salute
Speaker 11: the Man's man. All I gotta say to James of
Speaker 11: Virginia is enjoyed Deebo Samuel leaving him leaving us in
Speaker 11: San Francisco is sad, but he's one. He was one
Speaker 11: of my favorite Niners. But just know that James, you're
Speaker 11: getting a beast and looking forward to him collaborating with
Speaker 11: Jayden daniels Man.
Speaker 2: Thank you Buddha. Shador.
Speaker 1: Sanders didn't throw at the combine, but made some news
Speaker 1: when he met with the media and had this to say.
Speaker 10: Have you ain't trying to say he's a franchise or
Speaker 10: a coach that don't give me so you used to
Speaker 10: know history repeats itself over and over and over, and
Speaker 10: I've done it over and over and over, so it
Speaker 10: should be no question why NFL franchise Sippiger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: He got back it up there. What happens when you
Speaker 1: have somebody who's braggadocio or braggadocious, they're waiting for you
Speaker 1: to fall. And the first time I ever realized that
Speaker 1: was Muhammad Ali what he was saying, but he was
Speaker 1: backing it up, and then all of us sudden you
Speaker 1: had a portion of the population just waiting for him
Speaker 1: to get dropped. And then he gets suspended for the
Speaker 1: Vietnam War. Boycott comes back, he fights Joe Fraser, and
Speaker 1: Joe Fraser beats him, and then it was like, yep,
Speaker 1: he got shut up temporarily, but should or Sanders what
Speaker 1: he did when he was in college two different programs,
Speaker 1: And now he's saying, if you don't want to turn
Speaker 1: your franchise around, which who wouldn't want to turn their
Speaker 1: franchise around. If you're the Giants or the Jets, you
Speaker 1: know what, why did you pass on should or Sanders?
Speaker 1: We didn't want to turn the franchise around. We're happy.
Speaker 1: We're happy where we are right now. Hey, he's cocky,
Speaker 1: he's confident, he's Dion's kid. Whatever he says is going
Speaker 1: to garner some headline. If cam Ward said this, we
Speaker 1: wouldn't react, media wouldn't react. It's very formulaic, but cam
Speaker 1: Ward should feel that way.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 1: I want a quarterback who wants to change, you know,
Speaker 1: the culture, that that we are going to be a
Speaker 1: competitive team.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if he's a great quarterback.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I voted him third in the Heisman, so you know,
Speaker 2: I put my money where my mouth is. I saw him.
Speaker 2: He played hard, he took hits, he's tough.
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know if he's I don't
Speaker 1: know what he does really really well. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's just a really good all around quarterback. But
Speaker 1: we don't talk about his ability to run. And Steve
Speaker 1: Young came on how many weeks in a row and
Speaker 1: talked about in today's game, there's so much real estate
Speaker 1: that's available if you can run, so it is important.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we ever saw a shud
Speaker 1: Or Sanders run where you go, Hey, he's got some
Speaker 1: a d on speed. But he does keep plays alive,
Speaker 1: which is another element that we look for in our quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: But I'm going with the Hall of Famer Steve Young,
Speaker 1: who says, it's so easy if you're able to run.
Speaker 1: There's so much turf out there that's yours. You need
Speaker 1: a quarterback to take advantage of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauling, do you, guys, and this is obvious, Maybe
Speaker 4: have a natural trust of the son of a star
Speaker 4: NFL player that it's going to be good. It won't
Speaker 4: be a bust. Every quarterback could be a bust. When
Speaker 4: when I look at certain players, I'm like, well, he's
Speaker 4: Dion Sun. He knows the route, he knows the dangers,
Speaker 4: he knows everything. Because of his dad.
Speaker 2: I think he played the same position.
Speaker 1: I might feel differently, you know, if he was Travis
Speaker 1: Hunter playing cornerback, then you'd be like, man, he's going
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, Shador has been raised to be a quarterback.
Speaker 1: He sought advice from Tom Brady and some of the
Speaker 1: other greats. And you know, he played well at Jackson
Speaker 1: State and he played well at Colorado.
Speaker 2: I just don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, this is where the scouts will say he
Speaker 1: would be the fifth, sixth, seventh quarterback in last year's draft.
Speaker 1: Is he going to be a great quarterback? Is he
Speaker 1: going to be an NFL quarterback? And there's a big
Speaker 1: difference in that. If I'm taking you in the top three,
Speaker 1: I am projecting that you're going to be a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 2: Whoever takes cam Ward is thinking cam.
Speaker 1: Ward's going to be their quarterback for a long time,
Speaker 1: and rightfull Lisa or don't take him up top. But
Speaker 1: if the Giants and the Jets are talking about moving up, okay,
Speaker 1: you have to be a franchise quarterback. You have to
Speaker 1: do it in New York, so you add the degree
Speaker 1: of difficulty there. But I mean, he's grown up in
Speaker 1: the spotlight, so I don't think that bothers him. He's confident.
Speaker 2: I just don't know.
Speaker 1: Is he just a pocket quarterback? Is he a Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott kind of quarterback? Can he be Jalen Hurts? You know,
Speaker 1: once again, I'm not sure what the scouts I don't
Speaker 1: know who his comp is. That's why I'd be curious, Paul,
Speaker 1: if you can see. I don't know if any of
Speaker 1: the scouts, any of these draft guys have a comp
Speaker 1: for Shdor Sanders.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Seton, Yeah, man, I think it's kind of obvious,
Speaker 3: but the children of former professionals have a massive advantage.
Speaker 3: Massive so I think they've been getting that sort of
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt that we're talking about since the
Speaker 3: day that they were born. I would imagine it has
Speaker 3: the same impact in the draft too.
Speaker 2: Who are you seeing, PAULI.
Speaker 4: I don't have a player comp yet on him. I
Speaker 4: got some analysis.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Okay, it was just like I'm watching basketball
Speaker 1: the other day. I think Edgerrin James's son plays for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Does that sound right?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I gotta think so. I'm just going dang all right,
Speaker 1: Edgrin James's son. Of course, he's playing basketball for the
Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul, Okay, here's a player comp of a player
Speaker 4: who was drafted about twelve years ago, still in the league.
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton Gino Smith.
Speaker 4: Is one of the player comps on Shador Sanders.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Not a runner past, drop back passer, first style wise,
Speaker 4: that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep waiting for Shudor to just like break
Speaker 1: off and run for thirty yards, but I never you know,
Speaker 1: he stayed in the pocket and man did he take hits.
Speaker 1: He had to. That offensive line was not good. Peter Schrager,
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst. He'll join us. He's been at the
Speaker 1: combine all week. Sean McVay a little bit later on
Speaker 1: as well, our one on this Monday. In the books,
Speaker 1: two more to go.
