1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: The Dana's Dan Patrick Show. There's one guy sitting probably 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: in his breakfast nook in Arizona, listening to that. Carl 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: Man Dick, one of our listeners, mean spirited, good sport 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: though yes he is. Yes, Polly, I think missus Mandick 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: feels right now. Welcome to the program. Already in progress. 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk to McK cronin. That's Mick cronin. I like 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: to call him mccronin just it's one word. But the 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: UCLA head coach will join us coming up, and he's 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: one of the stars of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: He's the new Captain America. Friend of the show. Why 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: At Russell will join us coming up in the final 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: hour of the program. I think we have a pull question, 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: right McLevin. We actually have not pulled one up yet 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: because I wanted to pitch you a really mean Patriots ball. Okay, 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: is it fair to ask ask who has a brighter future, 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the New York Jets or the New England Patriots. I 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: always going to put the bills in, but I think 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: the Bills would win that, yes they would. The fact 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: that you're putting the Patriots in with the Jets is 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: an interesting starting point. But you're looking at the Jets. 23 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: They have cap space draft picks and they didn't have 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: to trade up to get the quarterback they truly won 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: in Zach Wilson. They'll get something for Sam Darnold. It's 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: a fresh start, their new coach, maybe a new outcome. 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: You still have Belichick and Kraft there now. I don't 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: like some of the personnel decisions that they've made. They 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: did spend a lot of money. They haven't been great 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: in the draft, and in fact, Robert Kraft, the Patriots owner, 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: had this to say about Cam Newton's performance, because you know, 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft was talking about this team. It was sort 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: of a State of the Union addressed by Robert Kraft, 34 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: I guess, and he talked about the weapons are lack thereof? 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: In fairness to Kim, I'm not sure he had the 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: proper weapons around him last year, and then he got 37 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: COVID and there were a lot of things that happened, 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: and I don't know that Jared has ever really gotten 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: a fair shot. So we have to wait and see 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: what happens all right, Jared Jared Stidham. Robert Kraft also 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: had this to say about Tom Brady leaving New England 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: after twenty years. He was entitled to make a decision 43 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: that was what he thought was best for him and 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: where he was, and you know, we gave him the 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: ability to do that. And you know, it's like marriages 46 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: sometime no one knows on the outside everything going on, 47 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: and you try to balance a lot and it is 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: what it is. Whatever that means, it is what it is. 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: But they allowed him to seek employment elsewhere, and we 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: of course know how that ended. You know, this is 51 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: a story that just continues as long as Brady plays. 52 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: It has to do with what New England should have 53 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: done with Tom Brady. Tom didn't want to stay. He 54 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: wanted to have fun, played for a guy who has fun, 55 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: got some weapons, brought some of his buddies in. That's 56 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: what he wanted late in his career. Wanted that and 57 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: the chance to maybe compete and win another championship. Yeah see. 58 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: Robert Craft also said, really, the teams who draft well 59 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: are the ones who are consistently good. I don't feel 60 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: like we've done the greatest job the last few years, 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: and I really hope and believe seen a different approach 62 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: this year. Okay, now, what would be different? Isn't it 63 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: the same person who's making these decisions. It's a single person. 64 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: The different approach this time is drafting better players. Yes, yes, okay, okay, yeah. 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: I never understood that that the Patriots don't do a 66 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: great job at drafting. And this time with free agency, 67 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: they spend some money, but not as much as you 68 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: get out of Robert Kraft talking about the Patriots. The 69 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: Patriots way there all right? Eight seven seven three d 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: P Show email address Dpadan Patrick dot com. Twitter is 71 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: handle at DP show Baseball's Opening Day, full slate of games. 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: And we toyed with the idea Yankees, Dodgers or the 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: rest of the field. It might just be the Dodgers 74 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: considering what they have. But you know, you got you 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: got some teams there, You got some teams in the 76 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: National League. I don't know if the American League is 77 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: as formidable. You know, you don't have the Red Sox 78 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: in there. The Twins are probably the second best team 79 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: behind the Yankees, or the White Sox are in there, 80 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: but you know, you're still looking at the Yankees because 81 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: all else fails. They'll buy somebody, they'll spend, they'll trade 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: for somebody later in this season. Coming up, we'll talk 83 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: to mccronin. And as I mentioned, White Russell the falcon 84 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: in the winter. Soldier quarterbacks have dominated the coverage of 85 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Pro Days so far, and they could go one, two, three, 86 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: four on a twenty nine. But there's a chance that's 87 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: not the strongest position this spring. Once again, you have 88 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: great wide receivers. I'm gonna put Kyle Pitts from Florida 89 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: in there amongst the wide receivers because he's going to 90 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: be a top ten pick, maybe top five. But Pitts 91 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: is listed as a tight end. Jamar Chase at LSU 92 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: was great on his Pro Day. He ran a four 93 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: to three eight. If that matters to you. Pitts and 94 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: Chase might lead the class, but Davante Smith's a Heisman 95 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: Trophy winner, and I was told yesterday by a source 96 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: he's not the best receiver coming out of Alabama. It's 97 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle in his opinion. Now, this is the same 98 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: person who said Jamar Chase. This is what six weeks 99 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: ago or a month ago when he said to me 100 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: that Jamar Chase was the best wide receiver in the 101 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: draft and he didn't even play last year. I got 102 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: some information here. He spent a good portion of yesterday 103 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: and last night just talking to a couple of people here, 104 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: and I wanted to know. It feels like the experts, 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: the consensus is the Niners traded up to get Mac Jones. 106 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: This is what I was told by a source. Yeah, 107 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: I know, Kyle Shanahan loves Mac. Was told personnel department 108 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: is still hoping to change his mind to Trey Lance. 109 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: I get that Mac fits what he does, but man, 110 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I would want a lot more with that third pick 111 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: that's going on with the Niners, according to a source. 112 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: And then I said, it feels like they could have 113 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: gotten Mac Jones maybe at six instead of three. And 114 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: then I ask about Sam Darnold. Now, Carolina is a 115 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: team that still wants to move up. You know, I 116 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: mentioned the Niners a couple of weeks ago moving up. 117 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: Denver has wanted to move up. Carolina wants to move up. 118 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: But if they can't, then what do you do. It's like, 119 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: if the Niners couldn't move up, they were interested in 120 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. And I asked my source, okay, knowing what 121 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: you know with the Jets, was Zach Wilson and what 122 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: did the Jets do? And my source said, the Jets 123 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: are hoping for a second round pick for Sam Darnold. 124 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: They'll settle for a third. And my guess is Carolina, 125 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: if they aren't able to move up, they would be 126 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: interested in Sam Darnold. So that's just some of the 127 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: information that I had yesterday from one source, and then 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: spend some time talking. I was just watching the Pro 129 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: Days yesterday and then reaching out to a couple of 130 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: these guys. This has to do with another source. Two 131 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: teams who need quarterbacks both said they believe that Mac 132 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Jones to the Niners is a done deal. Let's see 133 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: my sorts. Then another source said, you know, the Niners 134 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: in Shanahan are the only ones who know. But I'm 135 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: hearing that Trey Lance makes more sense with Jimmy g 136 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: being a bridge quarterback this next year. Shanahan prefers in 137 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: more mobile quarterback. Regardless of what Mac Jones ran, He's 138 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: not athletic outside the pocket. He's accurate timing touch pass here, 139 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: but inside there's discussions of Trey Lance or mac Jones. Yes, Poey. 140 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Isn't John Lynch the GM and in charge of all 141 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: decisions out there. I think this is Kyle Shanahan's decision 142 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: from then I was told yesterday, was John Lynch just 143 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: looking good and hanging out there. Well, he made the trade, 144 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: but this is Kyle Shanahan and now here's a fallout. 145 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Let's say it plays out like you said, and with 146 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: the fourth pick, Atlanta has Trey Lance sitting there, and 147 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: maybe they're not. They weren't planning on replacing Matt Ryan 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: so soon, but would that be could Atlanta pass? They're 149 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: not usually in the fourth spot drafting, I don't know. 150 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: I don't have a source with anything with Atlanta, but 151 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: you know they could take Kyle Pitts and give Matt 152 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Ryan a great target here, or they could say, you know, 153 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: how long is Matt Ryan going to be our quarterback? 154 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: And do we dare pass up on a Georgia native 155 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: and Justin Fields or we take Trey Lance as well. 156 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: And both of the sources I talked to you yesterday 157 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: said the same thing about Justin Fields. Everybody's going crazy 158 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: over is pro Day. It's because they fell off the 159 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: bandwagon here. There was no reason to fall off the 160 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: bandwagon with Justin Fields. You know he's athletic, great arm, 161 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, played well in that big game against Clemson. 162 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: But it feels like we've seen a little too much 163 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: of Justin Fields. We like the mystery. Yes, mc clun 164 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: is it too crazy to theorize that it could go one, two, three, four, 165 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: five quarterbacks? I know the Bengals are five, but somebody 166 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: would like, say the Panthers or might trade up to 167 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: five because these guys are all in the mix, and 168 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: that would be really unprecedented. I thought that somebody was 169 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: moving up if it was Carolina at Denver, or it 170 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: was gonna be San Francisco to five where the Bengals are. 171 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: But you know you're not going to be able to 172 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: get the quarterback you want. Probably at five, I mean, 173 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: you get the last quarterback. It feels like, let's say 174 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: you go, you go Zach Wilson, you go Mac Jones. 175 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: What's Atlanta do? Do they take Trey Lance or Justin Fields? 176 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: And then you're there at number five and then you're 177 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: taking what Atlanta doesn't take. I don't like being in 178 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: that position. I don't like going, oh, we'll get a quarterback. 179 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: I want to get my quarterback. And if mac Jones 180 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: is the kind of quarterback Kyle Shanahan once, then that's 181 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: the guy that he's going to draft. And it might 182 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: not come as any real shock. But these are two teams, 183 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: two guys in a player personnel who said, and they're 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: in the market for quarterbacks. They both said separately, they 185 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: hear that mac Jones is a done deal to the 186 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. But another source said to me last night, 187 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: I'm hearing there's still people on the inside with the 188 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Niners that are pushing for Trey Lance. So we got 189 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: a month to go. Let the games begin four weeks 190 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: from tonight. Yeah, Paul, it's so fascinating look at it 191 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: because the draft ward, like you said, fifth, Cincinnati would 192 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: don't eat a quarterback at all. Six is Miami, which 193 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: is a team that is set at quarterback question mark, Yes, right, Okay. 194 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: So though Detroit, which nobody is talking about, is in 195 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: the seventh spot they missed out on two of last 196 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: year and went with a defensive back, they could be 197 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: sitting there at seven with Jared Goff and Justin Field 198 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: staring up in the face. I wouldn't I wouldn't make 199 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: that move. Detroit should stay at quarterback for now. Well, 200 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: I think if if the coaching staff and the GM 201 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: both like Jared Goff and then you bring him in, like, 202 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is now, let 203 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: me bring in some competition for you. You You just got here. 204 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: His confidence is probably a little fragile. Anyway, I'd be 205 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: bringing in one of these wide receivers. You know, you 206 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: might have Kyle Pitts there as well, although they do 207 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: have a tight end. I think, yeah, Clevin, you sure Miami, 208 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: like is that what you know? It feels like they 209 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: could surprise everyone and just pick the quarterbacks there, But 210 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: why not stay at three? That's great? Three three? Then 211 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: you know who you're getting. That's why the Niners knew 212 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: they couldn't go to two. They inquired I think about two, 213 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: and then they realized that they were taking Zach Wilson, 214 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: and then then they ask about Sam Darnold. You know, 215 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: if they weren't going to be able to make the trade, 216 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: then they made the trade with Miami and then they 217 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: you know, then they cooled obviously on Sam Darnold. You 218 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: But the reason I say it is because I read 219 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: all these mock drafts and everybody has a different opinion 220 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: on whose better, Lance Fields or mac Jones. So in 221 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, well, they're all equals, so why 222 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: not get the fifth pick? Fields might be a great bargain, 223 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: you know, but they won't be equal in three years 224 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: from now, right, we'll look back on this draft and go, 225 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: how did we miss that? Or think that? It happens 226 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: every year where you go, how did we? How could 227 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: we possibly have thought that? And maybe mac Jones is 228 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: first of all, it's not fair to say, well he's 229 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. He's not. But it the tall, unathletic, Like, 230 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: come on, that doesn't look great with his shirt off 231 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: at the combat. Yeah, like stopped, stop doing that. It's silly. 232 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: So we can there's no other comp for him? How 233 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins. Probably more Kirk Cousins, And that's Kyle 234 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: Shanahan's kind of quarterback, I guess. And then what happens 235 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: to Jimmy Garoppolo, Because if you take mac Jones, there 236 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: is a feeling that mac Jones will be ready to start. 237 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: And then what do you get for Jimmy j Do 238 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: you send him back to the Patriots? What can you 239 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: get in return? What do the Patriots need to give you. Yeah, Paul, 240 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: can you imagine Mac Jones first NFL game where he's 241 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: a starter and there's defensive lineman rushing at him him 242 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: all over the place like this. I've never had a 243 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: pass rush before. Yeah, like two games in college, had 244 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: a pass like he gets sacked. They'd be like, what's this? Hey, 245 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: you guys, what are you doing? You're tackling me. I 246 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: don't get touched. Yeah, it's mclob Are you hearing anything 247 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: about the left tackles? Because I feel like nobody wants 248 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: to talk about them. Then they're gonna go four and 249 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: five and this whole conversations could be silly. Nobody cares 250 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: about left tackle except for the quarterbacks, except everybody who 251 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: wins titles. And that's why are you a buzzkill? Who cares? 252 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Right now? Yeah? But I saw that Rich Eysen care 253 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: about that. I saw it to Penny Sewell, who we've 254 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: been told it's the greatest left tackle ever falling to eleven. 255 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's the greatest left tackle of 256 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: all time, but you know he's he came with great 257 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: credentials there. Do you hear things about Penny Sewell has 258 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: been mythologized. I know, no one see him play in 259 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: two years. But uh, but there's only one Penny in 260 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: my heart and that's that's the house dog that we 261 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: have here, Penny.

And it's really a great story 264 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: about Penny because Penny was a rescued by the big 265 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: German who is the director of the TV portion of 266 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: this program, and he adopted her and really she's completely different, 267 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: u afraid of strangers and now she gladly takes treats 268 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: from me and the rest of the crew around here. 269 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: And you know, we want to make sure stories like 270 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: Pennies continue and we're giving back twenty percent of all 271 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: the Bang Biscuits sales to hand pick partners in the 272 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: pet industry.

Okay, how tall your career? It wasn't 359 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: a Mason. Yeah. Dominated, yeah, domination. Yeah, but you read 360 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: the stories. But we don't need to talk about my career. 361 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: This is about your career. But how tall were you 362 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: in high school? So I haven't grown the same height, 363 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: same way, you know, five five seven, one fifty five 364 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: and uh, your dad and his egg high school legend. 365 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: As far as coaching, right, he's got over four wins. Yeah, 366 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: very lucky obviously to uh have great parents, grow up 367 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: the son of a coach, you know, Coach Huggins and 368 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: I used to always say we were products of our environment. 369 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: When you grow up in a gym, you just you. 370 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: Obviously there's the osmosis process. You're learning how to coach. 371 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: You're learning how to deal with players. You're learning because 372 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: you go home, you learn how to coach. Thinks you're 373 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: a player. You hear what the other players say. Uh, 374 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: so you're really training on the job. You just you 375 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: just don't know it until until the day you go 376 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: to coach and you realize that, you know, you probably 377 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: were training to what you're doing your whole life. How 378 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: cool is this that you get to share this with 379 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: your father. Oh, it's awesome. You know, I have a 380 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: lot of friends in coaching obviously. You know, some some 381 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: guys their their dad's not around. Um, you know, so 382 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: for me, just for him to get to enjoy this, 383 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: to get you know, to give back. You know, so 384 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: many of us, you know, Midwest people, Cincinnati people. You know, 385 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: it's the West Side, hard working people. You know, my 386 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: dad had three jobs. My mom worked full time. Uh, 387 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, so they put three kids through private school. 388 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell they did it, U, 389 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: but they did it. So you know, when you give 390 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: anything back to your parents, it's a great thing in life. 391 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: Because obviously, you know, I wouldn't be here for it 392 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: wasn't for my parents. If I told you a month 393 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: ago we would be talking today and it would have 394 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: to do with the final four, what would you have said? 395 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: I just said, we got really hot from the three 396 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: point line. But you know I wouldn't have said no chance. 397 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: But I just said, you know, we had to really 398 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: get hot from a three point line. It's we're a 399 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: smaller team than and we guess, but we do have 400 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: guys can shoot the basketball. U. And then the other 401 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: thing I would have said was, boy, we really must 402 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: have gotten better defensively, like way better. And that's really 403 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: what's happened. That's really the story of what's happened for 404 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: us since halftime in the Michigan State game. We've really 405 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: just transformed defensively as a team. But also, you know, 406 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: you look at this and it's hard to say UCLA 407 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: is a Cinderella story. But right, I agree with you, 408 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: but it's still a cinderella. This team is a cinderella 409 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: story though, coach, Oh, yeah, no, I understand. You know, 410 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: if we win those last four the regular season, we're 411 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: not a cinderella. And we could have won all those games. 412 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: We had some really bad breaks down the stretch against 413 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: really good teams. So it's you know, that put you 414 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: down on the seed line and it makes you a 415 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: cinderella story. And then look, you'd obviously says you know 416 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: Dana in La. You know, it's big names. You know, 417 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers, they don't go to the they don't win 418 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: title without Lebron or Tobe, you know, Magic Kareem. Same thing. 419 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, the Bruins have had so many great, great players, 420 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: and we got very good players on this team. We 421 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: got to see them, some guys that are developing their 422 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: chances to be professional players. But you know, Kareem's not 423 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: walking through the door. Built walking through the door. So 424 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: you know it's new for UCLA to to grind their 425 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: way to a final four. What's it like though? When 426 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: you go into Pauli Pavilion, you look up and you 427 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: see all those banners. Man, it's awesome, Dan, it's awesome. 428 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: Every's not intimidating. I don't really look at it like 429 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: I just look. You know, maybe i'm too too. My 430 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: Irish toughness, UM doesn't allow me to like, I don't 431 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: think that way. I just think I look at opportunity. 432 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: I think you can't. I should if you're gonna look 433 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: at it in awe of oh my goodness. You know, 434 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: look what I have to live up to. Um, you 435 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: know you shouldn't take the job. But I did study 436 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: everything that coach Wooden said at the end. I mean, 437 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: when I got the job, I stayed up late and 438 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: he here's a quote from Coach Wooden. He said, the 439 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: only person that had had to deal with my expectations 440 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: should have been my the first guy that followed him, okay, um, 441 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: which was Murray Bartow. But you know after that, you 442 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: didn't follow John Wooden. And this is him talking you know, 443 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: so he said, if they're thinking that way, that that's 444 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: the wrong way to think. So but anyway, you know, 445 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: I just maybe it's my stubbornness. Man. I just look 446 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: at it as what an opportunity to coach where Coach 447 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: Wooden coaches. I've met all his family. They're texting me 448 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: today already. Yeah, it's just so many cool people. I mean, 449 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm dead. I'm friends with Kareem abdul Jabar. How cool. 450 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: He's McK cronin the UCLA head coach. By the way, 451 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: this just in. Roy Williams has announced his retirement. Are 452 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: you being serious? Yeah, it just happened. Uh yeah, Carolina 453 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: just released this. After thirty three years as a Hall 454 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: of Fame head coach or beloved tar heels, Roy Williams 455 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: announcing his retirement, Well, I would say from the coaching community, congratulations. 456 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: Coach Williams is a great guy. And the side note, 457 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he's taking care of me, got me hooked 458 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: up down on Pinehurst to play some elite courses. So 459 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: I owe him. Now he's gonna be I told him 460 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: that now he's retired, coach, come on out. We'll play 461 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: bell Air, We'll play Rivieria We'll play La North whatever 462 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: you want, coach. Do you bother showing gun Shaga tape 463 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: to your players? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely, you know absolutely one 464 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: thing I can say Nan that you know, Look, we're 465 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: obviously we're decided underdog. That's okay. But in my Big 466 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: East days when I was rebuilding Cincinnati, unfortunately, I have 467 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: a lot of experience in being in double digit underdog, 468 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, back in oh six, oh seven, o eight, 469 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: So you know, I had to deal with that quite 470 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: a bit. And we're not looking to do this, but 471 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: there was many nights that we got beat six that 472 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: we could have got to beat thirty six. So I 473 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: have dealt with that situation. But we'll see. But yeah, 474 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: you know, we'll approach the game like any other, but 475 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: also knowing it's going to be tougher than any other 476 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: we've played this year. How tough are you though to 477 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: play for? Oh? Now, I think you know what's funny, man, 478 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: when you're passionate what my players all know? For my 479 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: problem right now, my Cincinnati players want to come to 480 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: the game. They've all they've banded together, sent me to 481 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: Texas morning. They all want to come to the game. 482 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: So I got ticket issues when you're I think people think, look, 483 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: he's all over them, but they don't. It's encouragement. Ninety 484 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: percent of its encouragement, you know, is that you can 485 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: guard him. You know you can do this. You know. 486 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm just extroverted with that. I'm outward with it. Um. 487 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: So you know, in practice, uh, you know, I think 488 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: you got to bring energy. I learned that early. There's 489 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: a great NBA legendary workout guy, Tim Gurgeridge, and kids 490 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: they want they want to feel your energy. I learned 491 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: that from him as a young guy when he was 492 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: gave me a chance to help him work guys out. 493 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: Uh you know, as you know, players want to feel 494 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: a guy that's trying to help them get better. And 495 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: that's how you know, so they know that. So I'm 496 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: not just barking at guys to barket guys. You know, 497 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: kids wouldn't they wouldn't respond to that. But I remember, 498 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I met you at the University 499 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati when Huggins was there, but you were like 500 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: video coordinator. I think you started out there, yeah, yeah, 501 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: for nine months then that you know, then he got 502 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: smart and from oh he promoted you. But the way 503 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: Huggins held at practice was something unlike anything I'd ever 504 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: seen before. Yes, yes, I totally agree. How would you 505 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: describe how Hugging would hold those practices at Cincinnati. Let's 506 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: just let's just you know, for people on the outside, 507 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: it's hard, you know, because so many codes people I 508 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: can't believe you said that or that, you know, but 509 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: players get it. I mean, you know when you get 510 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: especially guy, you know, the guy locker room talk, it 511 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: is what it is. Um. You know, in the outer 512 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: world academia would just don't understand it. Um. You know, 513 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: it's just how the kids talk, how it is at times. 514 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: And you know, again, coach, you know, Bob Huggins coaches 515 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: with love, and I give him a shout. I would 516 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: not be here if it was not for him. But 517 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: when you coach with love, Uh, the kids know it. 518 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: So you know, they again they know you're not messing 519 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: with him, You're trying to bring out the best best 520 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: of them, because they know he would do anything for 521 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: his players, the same and the same as I would. 522 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: But I remember this is when Nick van Exel was there. Yeah, 523 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: and I just remember Huggins saying to the team as 524 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: somebody who shouldn't have been shooting. He just gathered him 525 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: and a couple of cuss words and then he goes like, guys, 526 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: this is your team, do you want him shooting? Like 527 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: like and I and I'm watching with the former Cincinnati great, 528 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: the late Derek Dickey, and he said, just so you know, 529 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna watch a practice and you're gonna see something 530 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: and hear something you've never heard before. And he's saying 531 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: to the players, you guys are accountable for what goes 532 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: on on the floor. Do you want him shooting? And 533 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: the answer is no. You so right in front of 534 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: this poor guy. I don't want to mention his name, 535 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: but he goes and it was just so honest. But 536 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, to be brutally honest, like you saw what 537 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: happened with coaches in the whole. You know, like you 538 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: he loves his players, But can you coach like that? 539 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: You know? You know? Yeah, I mean it's there and 540 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: the visual of what we saw and what we're all like, wow, coach, 541 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, get it together. Yeah, the visual isn't good 542 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: sometimes again because you're on the outside. But what I 543 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: would say is two things. One the kid being honest. Unfortunately, 544 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: Dan sometimes we're the first person that's honest with them 545 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: about their basketball abilities and they need to hear that. 546 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: You know, let me honestly say, you know, what do 547 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: you want Okay, what do you want to do? You 548 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: want to play in the NBA ball Let me honestly 549 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: tell you that you cannot jump shoot your way to 550 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: the pros. Everybody else has told you that you're going 551 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: to have to defend your way to the pros. If 552 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: you brought my friend Corey Blunt, who was on that 553 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: team on this show, tell you that his agent told 554 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: him almost thirty years ago now that he need to 555 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: go show everybody he could shoot. And Bob Huggins stopped 556 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: him and said, don't you dare do that at the 557 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: NBA combine. Let him guess because you can't shoot, you know, 558 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: go rebound and block shots. And he's a first round 559 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: pick and played eleven years in the NBA. So sometimes 560 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: we're the first person to tell these guys the truth, uh, 561 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: and that that you know, that's just you know, it's unfortunate, 562 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: but they need they need to hear it to give 563 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: themselves a chance. And yeah, it's but the shot I understand, 564 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you know, the visual of it's not 565 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: always easy. If if we had a coaches one on 566 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: one of the final four coaches or three point how 567 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: do you affair the uh so Mark Mark Hugh, you 568 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: worried about Mark Hugh one on why I'd say, I'd say, 569 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm six to five, okay, all right, and that's one 570 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: on one. What about three point shooting? So I'm six 571 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: to five okay? You just season, you know, we're we're 572 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: all in bad shape. I think, you know, I think 573 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: Kelvin went the most importantly. Who wins on the golf course? 574 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: And I got a feeling Kelvin wins that one. Yeah, 575 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: you know we're we're coach Sampson. I you know, we 576 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: we get great friendship.

It's regulated. It's 646 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: called five hours per day on the high end, and 647 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: they can do it through their preseason end season only. 648 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: It's six months of the high end. So if you 649 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 1: got nine hundred thirty one student athletes times twelve times 650 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: twenty five hours per week times twenty four weeks, that's 651 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: the total minimum wage of justin or seven million dollars 652 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: per year amongst all athletes at the university. That's not 653 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: chump change. But you're telling me you can't get boosters 654 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: of each sport to ship in dan. I'm on the 655 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: UCLA's rugby board. It's not even an NCAA sanction, and 656 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: that's a quarter of their donations per year. So what 657 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying is pay these kids a minimum wage, boosters 658 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: extra money, not to mention tuitions. And like j Bill 659 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: it says it is a fair market per athlete. We 660 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 1: do it with the rest of society. Let Johnny Manziel 661 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: make what their demand allows them to make. If we 662 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: prepare young people in college for the real world. That 663 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: should be less than number one, Dan, And that's all 664 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: I got, right, let me ramble and he'll suck it, 665 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: Carl with a K and go Dodgers. All right, well, 666 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: thank you, jess. Oh, let's go to hear it from Jesse. Yeah. 667 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: If there's a way to do it in a playcates everybody, 668 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: help some people, some you know, student athletes there, and 669 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: then it allows you to own your likeness. Then like 670 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: you should be able to own your life, but you don't. 671 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: And I'll go back to the analogy I used in 672 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: the first hour. If you sign an autograph, you can't 673 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: sell the autograph. You can't sell the fact somebody once 674 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: your autograph, But the person getting your autograph on a 675 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 1: jersey could then sell that jersey. And that doesn't seem fair. Now, 676 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: how many of these players are going to be able 677 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: to benefit? And that's the slippery slope too. Let's say 678 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to I'm Alabama football, Florida football. But if 679 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to recruit somebody, Let's say I got, you know, 680 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: five offensive linemen, I'm starting lineman. We're going to have 681 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: a autograph session and you know what we're going to 682 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: pay you fifty thousand dollars each. Now, obviously you know 683 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: that seems like an exorbitant amount, but hey, I decided 684 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: I want to pay you fifty thousand dollars. Who's regulating that? 685 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: Because now that impermissible benefit. It feels like if the 686 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: boosters are saying, hey, come on in. I hear that 687 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: they give you X number of dollars to just if 688 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: you're a starter starting quarterback, Hey, come on down to 689 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: my car dealership. One hundred thousand dollars for a guy 690 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: who multimillionaire or billionaire? Like would that be legal? And 691 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: that I don't know because that's you're capitalizing on your likeness. 692 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: But it's really about the Alabama football program. You know, 693 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: when Slim Pickens are was alive at Oklahoma State, is 694 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: that his name? Oh no, uh something Pickings Ta Boon Pickings, 695 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: Slim ta Boon Pickens. I mean he had billions. You 696 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: can just say, hey, you come here and this is 697 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: what you get. You get one hundred thousand dollars for 698 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, five appearances. The only difference now is you're 699 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: going to pay taxes on the money they're paying people 700 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: years ago. A bag with one hundred thousand. Now it's 701 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a check for one hundred thousand. You got 702 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: to pay taxes on it, Yeah, like you're I have to, 703 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, make sure that people know declare this kind 704 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: of income. Yeah see yeah, but now doesn't t Boone 705 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: Pickens get to write off his donations instead of well 706 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: he would have right right, right, Well I'm saying boosters then, right, yeah, yeah, 707 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm a club. Yeah, there's everyone knows there's this black 708 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: market there that's already existing, so you might as well 709 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: tax it, right, Yeah, I wonder if you if you 710 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: want it out there in the open where you know, 711 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: Now I have to declare this income. But I don't 712 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: know I can you get a stipend? Is it fair 713 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: to give a stipend to all athletes or just the 714 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: football players? Or what if the basketball program is bigger 715 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: than you know, the football program? Then how much do 716 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: you get? How much do you get if you're a starter? 717 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: How much do you get if you're not a starter. 718 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: It's you try to make it equitable. And I don't 719 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: know if there's easy answers here, but it's being argued 720 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: in front of the Supreme Court right now. Paul and Iowa, Hey, Paul, 721 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? First up, you 722 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: know I gotta give an apology to Carl Dickman out 723 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 1: in Arizona. If I would have known that my words 724 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: yesterday would be remixed and thrown at him again today, now, 725 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: I still would have said it. So one quick point though, 726 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: the people most upset about Roy Williams retiring is definitely 727 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: long hornation because now they're not going to get the 728 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: best coach of the off season. But to my main 729 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: point here, I'm Dan. I'm the line between gen X 730 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: and millennial. I'm twenty six years old. I lived fifteen 731 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: minutes from the Chicago Cubs Triple A affiliated Des Moines 732 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: and I just cannot be brought to care about professional baseball. 733 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: The last time I said, oh, I need to watch 734 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: that about a baseball game was getting a notification about 735 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: the Cubs rain delay in twenty sixteen. How does baseball 736 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: reach younger people that think soccer, hockey, basketball are more 737 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 1: exciting to watch than baseball. That's a big question, Paul, 738 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for the phone call. That's a multi million billion 739 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: dollars question. If I had that solution, I might not 740 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: be here. But yeah, it's tough because you just you 741 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: lost a generation. I feel like and I felt like 742 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: you know when you had World Series playoff games starting later, 743 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: Like you you lose the experience of either going to 744 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: a game or watching a game. There's something lost when 745 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: you watch the highlights the next morning. But you're able 746 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: to stay up to watch some of these games, but 747 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: if they're going to start at nine o'clock or eight 748 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: thirty and you don't get to see it all the 749 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: way through and all that drama, and that's what brings 750 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: you back, plus being able to afford to go to 751 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: a baseball game, to experience the baseball game, everything that 752 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: goes along with that, and then to want to come back. 753 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: I always encourage people go to spring training games. You know, 754 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: if you if you've never taken your family or your 755 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: children spring training. It's it's more casual, it's fan friendly, 756 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: it's cheaper, and you might come away with the more 757 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: positive experience there still watching baseball, great weather and the 758 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 1: and the players are far more friendly user user friendly. Yeah, Poe. 759 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: I have some buddies who have sons, and one of 760 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: my friends his son plays baseball all the time, and 761 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: he also watches baseball all the time. It's very extreme. 762 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: I have buddies who have sons who don't play baseball. 763 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,240 Speaker 1: They don't watch a second. But one of my friends, 764 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: his son is a Mets fan. He watches every minute 765 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: every night of his team. It's like, if you play baseball, 766 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna have the same team as your dad 767 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: and that's it, or you're not gonna have it at all. 768 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: It's very extreme. And I said this yesterday, and look, 769 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: I still love watching baseball, But how many of these 770 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: players are you know tune in factor? And I said 771 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: maybe ten? And there's so many games each night, you know, 772 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a surplus of games instead of Hey, I 773 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: remember the game of the week and that was so 774 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: important to me. It didn't matter who was playing the 775 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: game of the week. Now I can watch every game 776 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: of every team. And then like Francisco Lindor just signed 777 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: a three hundred and thirty million dollar contract, I would 778 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 1: probably have to tell you by the way he plays 779 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: for the New York Mints, that shouldn't happen.
