WEBVTT - Hour 3 - NBA Movement Slows Down, Kevin Millar 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.800 Sports Radio. Well, it looks like the Lakers are all 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.840 on the same page. Now. Lebron, ad Russell, Westbrook all 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.120 got on a phone call reportedly, and they're all committed 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.680 to this upcoming season. That probably means we can't do 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.040 anything with Russ. All right, let's get on a phone 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.480 call and we'll get ready for training camp here. Also, 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.320 there was a report yesterday there is a new team 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:34.960 that could be interested in Kevin Durant, the Washington Wizards. Now, 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.839 from what I'm told, Bradley Beale would not be involved 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.960 in anything there. But once again, if I'm the Nets, 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.840 I don't want to send him where he might want 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.600 to go. He grew up in the Washington, DC area, 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.920 but he grew up a Toronto Raptors fan. But now 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.880 you have Washington. It feels like there are other teams 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.560 that go. Well, if he's not going to go to 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.360 Phoenix and not go to Miami, why don't we take 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.800 a shot here? And it's quiet. That's when I get 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.319 more interested. It's like something's going on here because normally, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.200 when people are talking, they're trying to generate conversation, they're 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.120 trying to generate something here, and it felt like it 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.000 was quiet with Kevin Durant, and it feels like this 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.640 is going to be an ongoing process for a little while. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.600 Is Kevin Durant going to be traded? And what are 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.120 you going to get? And you know, Brian winhorns the 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.759 motherships at August, but that's not going to stop everybody 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.280 from speculating over the next six weeks or so, five 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.560 weeks or so, where is he going to go? What 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.319 are you going to get in return? What's that mean 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:39.440 for Kyrie? I've maintained all along. I think Kevin Durant 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.680 should stay in Brooklyn. I've yet to hear a reason 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.880 why he wants out, because they did accommodate him. Kyrie 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.200 is the one who let him down. But they did 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.160 everything that I think Kevin Durant asked them to do, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.960 except for they didn't extend Kyrie this time around. But 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.280 you wanted Steve Nash. Steve Nash was out coached certainly 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.880 in the playoffs, and Katie may look around and go, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.320 I want to win another championship here. And I think 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.760 the fact that Steph Curry just one one is not 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.400 lost on Kevin Durant when it comes to bigger picture 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.840 here of where I stand, because it was well, Steph 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.040 needed Katie to win a couple of titles. Steph didn't 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.840 need Katie this time around. And Lebron. Lebron's looking around 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.519 going I got to get one more here. If we're 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.519 going to make this an honest conversation and debate about 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.440 me and Michael Jordan, I got to get it at 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.560 least one more here? Can I get Kyrie? And does 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.480 that mean that we're going to win another championship? You 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.720 know Peyton manning any means necessary, all right? You know 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.280 he had a dead arm and they won because of 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.480 their defense. But he got another Super Bowl. So having 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.480 two compared to one, you get Lebron another championship here, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.840 and then maybe it's strengthens your debate, your side of 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.960 this when it comes to Lebron versus Michael Jordan. But 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.120 I think Katie looks at this and says, where can 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.480 I get a championship? Because I'm not going to get 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.280 it here in Brooklyn? Can I go someplace else? What 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.080 do they have to give up to get me? And 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.360 then you wonder about the Rudy Gobert trade and what 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.600 that means for anybody else of you know, big time value, 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.560 Marquis value. What do you have to give up to 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.120 get If you got Rudy Gobert for that, then what 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.160 do you have to give up for Kevin Durant? What 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.960 do you have to give up for Donovan Mitchell? You know, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.360 these are things that are going on now because the 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.360 price of poker went up and Kevin Durant may start 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.880 to look at other options here. Plus, he's got a 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.160 he's under contract. If they say we're going to send 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.160 you here, I don't know what his recourse is. They 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.320 can say, look, I don't want to go there. I'm 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.920 gonna make it difficult for them. Kyrie, what do you 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.560 do with him? What if nobody else is interested in 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.360 him and the going price for him is one first 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.480 round pick? Brooklyn probably will hold out for the twenty 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.440 twenty seven in twenty twenty nine first round picks, but 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.760 the Lakers are probably going there's nobody else interested. Here's 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.640 the offer. Do you want to keep Kyrie? And at 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.800 that point, if I'm Brooklyn, I say yeah, I'm gonna 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.240 keep him. I'll keep him and KD. Hey, you guys 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.359 got us into this. You guys, get us out of this. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.480 You guys want, you know, Kyrie, to get a long 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.839 term contract. Why don't you prove something? Why don't you 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.440 show me something, because we're not going to give you away. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.520 We're not going to send you someplace so you benefit. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.599 We need to do something that's good for our organization. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.880 Kevin Durant, Kevin, you wanted this contract eleven months ago, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.360 you signed it. You wanted Steve Nash, We did everything 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.920 you ask Why are you leaving? I'm still waiting for 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:53.119 somebody to ask KD why. I've asked woj Mannix win Horse. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.480 Nobody has an answer like why he wants out? All right, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.440 Welcome to the program. Already in progress. We have spent 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.720 a lot of time talking about college football. Deshaun Watson 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.560 All Star Game coming up tonight. Fun to see Homeland 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.120 Derby last night, Albert Pujols Juan Soto ends up winning again. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.040 Stat of the day on this program brought you by 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.760 Panini America, the official trading cards for The Dan Patrick Show. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:25.719 The Deshaun Watson situation is fluid. The nfl PA and 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.440 DeShawn Watson have decided to challenge a full year suspension 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.599 in court. If that happens. Mike Floria has been covering this, 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.279 so is Charles Robinson of Yahoo's Sports. He reports that 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.720 the NFL Players Association and Watson's camp already have decided 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.600 to sue the league in federal court if the end 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:51.920 result of the process is a full season suspension. Now 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.720 there was a report that it might be somewhere between 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.960 two games in eight games. So if you have an 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:05.160 independent judge here, arbitrator, which I don't know how independent 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.520 she can actually be. Feels like the NFL uses a 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.120 few independent arbitrators. She's being paid by the NFL, so 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.040 I don't know how independent, but whatever her rulings are, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.720 then you're going to have There's other cases that are 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:27.240 going to complicate this. The suspensions of Tom Brady, Ezekiel 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.920 Elliott has also been brought up. Ben Roethlisberger has been 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.159 brought up, Robert Kraft has been brought up. At least 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.159 that's what I've been told. I don't know if you 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.719 can get a final decision that everybody's going to be 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.360 happy with, Because if I'm the NFL, I appeal this, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.800 then I know that Deshaun Watson in his camp are 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.920 going to then take this to a higher court. Yeah, Paul. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.839 Let's say hypothetically the judge comes back tomorrow and says 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.440 it's an eight game suspension for Deshaun Watson. If you're 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.200 the NFL, would you let it go and take whatever 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.240 heat you get that day even though it's not your decision. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.520 So the story is over at least in the near future. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.120 We move on a training camp, we get to football, 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.480 we talk about other stuff. Would you or if you're 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.920 at Roger Cadell, would you say Nope, not enough. I'm 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.040 going to fight this. I would fight it. I don't 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.559 think the NFL can go We need to move past 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.560 this here. I think you still have to approach this 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.680 as this is. This is a legendary decision. This is 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.680 precedent setting. You know, we have to go for the 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.240 max here. I still I've been told indefinite suspension. That's 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.640 what the NFL would like to have because they want 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.360 to make sure while we suspend you, we may suspend you, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.200 you know, longer. But if you decide that you want 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.720 to appeal this, whether the league would appeal such an outcome, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:50.240 and whether the Commissioner or his DESIGNI would impose a 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.800 dramatically longer ban remains to be seen, according to Mike Florio. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.520 But you know, as Florio points out, one of the 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.240 stronger arguments on Deshaun Watson's behalf comes from the language 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.320 that's in the collective bargaining agreement. Ownership and club or 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.080 league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.600 and will be subject to more significant discipline. That has 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.920 not been the case. And the Texans have settled thirty 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.800 claims against them for their alleged role in Watson's alleged 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.760 sexual misconduct. So what kind of discipline do the Texans face? 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.680 I haven't heard anything. So you settle on a FRIDAYGG 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.880 thirty claims and then it's like, okay, we set it up, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.000 No need to worry, let's move on. Camp's open it up. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.320 So there's a lot of things that are going on 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.040 with this. But I still think that the NFL is 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.240 going to look at this and say, I need there's 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.200 a sweet spot of probably twelve games or more that 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.520 the league would want, but indefinite suspension. Let's see if 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:01.440 they fight it. And what Deshaun Watson's camp thinks about this? Yeah, see, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.559 have you heard any kind of time frames? I mean, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.760 obviously there has to be some type of decision made 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.600 before the season. I was heard, I was told this 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.920 week that you could have a decision now. I reached 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.920 out to a source this morning and he said, both 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.440 sides refused to budge, that this is what the league wants, 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.880 and this is what Deshaun Watson's camp wants. I don't 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.640 know what the numbers are in there, but that's what 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:31.439 I was told that both sides refuse to budge. Cleveland's 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.440 training camp opens up a week from today. I don't 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.840 know if the NFL goes, well, we got to be 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.000 fair to the Browns or Deshaun Watson. They don't have to. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.839 I mean, this is a judge. It's up to her 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.000 and she. You know, the Browns knew what they were getting, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.440 that this could be a drawn out process and he 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.920 might not even have him year one, and so did 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.840 Deshaun wants it. But I'm waiting to hear if the 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.840 NFL is going to punish the Jexans here, because this 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.280 goes back to what Deshaun Watson's camp is arguing. It's like, uh, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.959 you hold teams accountable or owners accountable. Got Daniel Snyder 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.760 in the South of France he's not coming up for 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.720 air anytime soon. You're not gonna you know, he's gonna wait. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.240 I'm gonna wait till the fall. Probably you're gonna wait 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.880 to see who's gonna be in power in politics there 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.880 before he probably surfaces. Yeah, Poet, Daniel Snyder's like Tom 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.400 Hanks in that movie The Terminal where he's just in 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.760 them for years. He's gonna stay in that international terminal. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.320 Can't go anywhere, can't we talk to And I told 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.840 you that I had somebody I know who was on 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.480 the yacht in France. They said that Snyder never came up, 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.440 you know, on the top deck. There. I have a 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:56.000 source on a yacht. Oh what a great life I have. Hate. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.880 Did you see Daniel Snyder? You did not? Was he there? 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:04.680 He was down below? That's a big yacht, big big yot. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.520 But I don't know if anybody was allowed to go downstairs. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.560 But so you're on Daniel Snyder's yacht. I don't know 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.000 what you do on his yacht if Daniel Snyder's down 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.080 below bow deck. But if it's to get together and 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.840 the host doesn't show up, like, well, did he zoom 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.280 up to the upper deck? I don't know, can you 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.360 have a boat that big? Have you seen these things? 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:34.160 I know? But just how ask me the Russian oligarch. Well, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.880 they're losing all of theirs. It's like, hey, you park this, 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.679 you know, it's like double parking, and then they tow 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.400 your car. That's what's going on with the Russian billionaires. Uh, 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:54.800 we're gonna take that yacht. A couple of phone calls 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.160 here Mike and Minnesota. Hi Mike, what's on your mind? 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.079 Good morning? And and Dan ets listen. I listen to 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.640 radio shows. I listened to yours, and I listened to 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:10.400 the Dry Heath on PGA Tour Radio. It's usually David Ferrety, 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.880 McCord and Drew Stoltz. Last night, Ferrety wasn't on it, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.679 but they had Charles Barkley on him and McCord had 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:22.080 this super candid conversation about going to broadcast. Listen. I 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.160 haven't been a fan of the tour of the whole 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.480 live thing, but if those three guys get together and 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.480 they're broadcasting, I'm all in. I gotta listen to it 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.320 because it's going to be a cut up, you know. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.000 And the other thing is maybe Barkley doesn't have to 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.080 leave TNT. Maybe he stays at TNT with that kind 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.640 of draw, Maybe TNT finally says, look, we'll pick up 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.320 live Golf, and instead of them having to pay live golf, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.560 Live golf has got so much money, maybe they end 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:55.120 up paying. Yeah, And I think that's that's a fair point, Mike. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.079 I was told that Gary McCord was approached a while 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.960 ago about being an a list for the Live Tour, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.160 and maybe Charles doesn't have to leave TNT. And I 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.000 guess he's going to get his offer on Wednesday, Wednesday night, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.440 and then we'll find out if it's enough for you know, 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.480 attempt Charles to join Ken in Las Vegas. I can 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:21.720 what's on your mind him? I'm nine to soft two thirty. Um. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:27.160 I was just on the comment everybody's criticizing the PJA. Yeah, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.640 I s going to Live Tour, But they don't seem 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.720 to mind any one other pro athletes leave their team 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.360 for more money to another team. So is there supposed 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.720 to be a difference, Well, they're not leaving the league. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.880 I mean, Tyree Kill didn't go to the CFL for 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:49.240 the USFL. He went to the Dolphins. Look, everybody's got 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.400 their opinions I don't. I don't want to. You know, 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:56.400 sound sanctimonious here, you know, And I'm asked this all 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.680 the time. It's the same different, same question, maybe sometimes 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.319 for differently. Well, what would you do if they put 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.000 that kind of money in front of you? I can 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.959 tell you I would not do it. I don't care. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.559 I don't care how much. There's not enough money that's 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.680 going to change my life. I would not do it 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.680 my stance. Now it's hypothetical. Let's say somebody puts twenty 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.000 five million dollars a year in front of me, would 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.240 I do it? Try it and the answer would be no. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:32.400 But that's me in my situation. Okay, that's all. It 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.880 would be hard for me to face my two brothers 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.880 in law who were there on nine eleven as fireman 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.920 cleaning up and I mean cleaning up in the worst way, 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:49.440 and they were there for three months. Couldn't do it 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.520 for other reasons too, But that's me. That's my opinion. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.800 So if you want to keep sending and tweeting what 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.360 you'd take, though, I would not take the money. If 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.880 David Farady wants to do it, good for him, and 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:12.960 there may be reasons that he has that are different. Charles. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.040 He wants to do it. If that's what you want 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.400 to do, that's on you. But me, I would never. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:27.680 I couldn't do it, couldn't. So that's the only way 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.600 I can answer this because I keep getting this, Well, yeah, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.200 what if they put that money I do it? Try 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.400 me and I would say no, it won't change my 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.520 life and I could not do that. Take a break. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.480 I'm back after this and the Dan Patrick Show and 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.040 now a message from Discover about real rewards.

Name, image and likeness everybody. Everybody 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.360 gets twenty five thousand dollars. The deal will be for 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.440 all eighty five scholarship players plus fifteen of Texas Tech 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:58.760 walk ons. And I guess this is an oil and 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:03.720 gas executive who is a member of the Matador Club 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.160 board of directors, a former Texas Tech offensive lineman, and 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.800 you're expected to do community service and charitable work in 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.879 the Lubbock area. Payments will start to go out the 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:22.439 first week of August. Hey, you're getting a lot of 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.960 these collectives, and that's groups where they just bring in 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.920 the money. You're seeing this at Ohio State. I think 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.119 they have half a million dollars that they've collected for 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.040 some of the football players there. Yes point, I read 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.000 a little about this this morning, and they say this 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.080 could work for a school like Texas Tech, who may 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.480 not get the number one overall prospect type guys who 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.520 make the big, big dollars, but they could have a 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.400 deeper roster of good players by this, everyone gets twenty 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.680 five grand if you just joined Texas Tech football. We 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.680 were just talking about you're going to have the haves 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.040 and the have nots when it comes to college football 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.720 and what happens to these other schools nonconference games that 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.720 are so important for the athletic departments, for the school, 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.720 the entire athletic program. And source just sent me a 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:13.000 note whether the Big ten, SEC, etc. Will agree to 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.480 an arrangement that most, if not all non conference games 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.000 will be with teams from the Big two, three, four 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.840 and the American Conference USA MAC Mountain Weston sun Belt, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.679 sun Belt. This allows for a level of peace among 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:32.880 the FBS conferences, So still trying to do that where 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:39.560 you have these non conference games. This likely sets the 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.720 stage for college football FBS football, including bowl games, to 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:53.720 be formally controlled outside of the NCAA. This has happened quickly, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.639 and you know, you got to find somebody to replace 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.240 Mark Emritt. What's your job going to be at the 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:06.040 head of the NCAA. And uh, that's that's within the 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:12.879 next year or so. Yeah. So Nick Saban is his 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.320 media time the past couple hours at the media day 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.560 at SEC Media Days, he was asked if someone didn't know, 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.960 tell me something about Nick Saban. We don't know. Nick 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.600 Saban said, quote, how well I clean house? I make 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.760 a list every day, I get a list, I vacuum. 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.040 I pledge a refrigerator. Nobody knows how well I do 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.359 these things. Now a lot of people are throwing the 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.800 BS flag because Nick Saban said, I pledge the refrigerator, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.040 and pledges usually for wood products. But I did some 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.640 research on this as journalists, and pledge does make a 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:46.360 expert care stainless steel cleaner for refrigerators and other countertops. 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.960 Back to you, Dan, Yeah, I can't picture Nick Saban 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.640 with a can't a pledge in a rag in his hand, 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.760 but he said it. Coachavan said it. Who needs the 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.840 pledge that fridge every day? Anyway? Yeah? How you keep 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:01.840 your How you keep your house that dirty every day? 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:03.960 And then you keep it that clean? But it's that dirty, 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.840 but you can be ocd and then you're like, I 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.840 got to clean it every day. But I can imagine 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.240 he's like, uh, have you seen my pledge? I gotta 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:21.920 dude the refreegeriner again, here's the granite cleaner. This football 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:27.160 stuff is fascinating. It's just you see grown ups act 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.480 like children here because they're supposed to be the ones 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.720 in charge here, and it's like, nope, yeah, this is 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.800 all about the bottom line. It's greed and that's what 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:41.640 it is. But you got, you know, the players wanting 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.240 to get in on it. And I have no problem 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.439 with name, image and likeness when when you see everything 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.720 that's going on now, I hope that you have a 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.160 softer spot in your heart for these players who are like, hey, 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.840 I'm gonna get mine while we can, because everybody else is. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:59.480 Kevin Millar, the MLB network analyst co host of Intentional Talk. 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.600 He won a World Series with the Red Sox. He 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.800 was at Dodgers Stadium last night home run derby covering 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.680 the All Star Game. MLB's live All Star Game coverage 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.800 from LA gets underway at noon Eastern, with Kevin Mular 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.199 and Stephen Nelson co hosting Intentional Talk from Dodger Stadium 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.200 at three thirty today. Great to talk to you, buddy. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:24.520 What kind of memories do you have playing at Dodgers Stadium. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.440 I have a video on my phone from a home 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.879 run that I hit off Y say video voicemail off 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.520 of chan Ho Park in nineteen ninety nine Dodgers Stadium. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:39.360 My dad got it off of Vince Scully's radio broadcast 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.640 and he was doing lab work. And to this day, 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.760 I still have it on my phone. Out of the 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.920 ninety five different phones we've gone through, I have not 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:49.320 lost that yet. So I do have to get down 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.520 some kind of tape not to lose that. But it 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:57.520 wasn't a walk off. It's just a no, just a 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.240 home run, just a home run in a bullpen. As 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.040 a little kid from La City Junior calls down the street, 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.720 Dad had as Scully goes, that's a hard drive, and 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.439 Dave Blackfield and I have to have that forever. That 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:16.679 is great. Your last couple of years were Kershaw's first couple. 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.960 Did you cross Pais with Kershaw? Never faced Kershaw? I 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.560 mean he throws an invisible slider, obviously, the nasty curveball. 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:30.000 Never faced him. I talked to Sean Casey about Kershaw. 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.560 He had faced him. He said he's filthy, but I'd 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.159 never crossed path. Wait to explain that, what kind of 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:41.080 invisible slider. It's like, if you watched Kershaw pitch, right, 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.760 we know the fastball, the big curveball. Then he has 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.119 this little cutter that he throws, and it's that little 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.480 cutter that just never gets there. It's down and in 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.160 the writings it's been as pitch the last seven eight years. 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.040 If he was just coming up, what kind of picture 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.760 how would he be viewed if if he threw this, 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:07.920 he's probably doesn't top out at what ninety four? Maybe five? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.040 I don't think he's not. I don't think he's near there. 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:13.960 I think he's usually around ninety two, topping out pitches 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.960 at eighty nine to ninety and then he's got that 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.399 little cutter that that he's put into play as his 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.960 velocity's gone down. Every pitcher has to figure out this 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.920 thing as they get older. CC Sabatia was a power 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.280 pitcher right ninety eight cutters and sliders and ninety eight, 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.280 and then as he got older he had to learn 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.200 a two steamer and a change up and start working 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.320 a way off to play. That's one thing that Clayton's 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:39.840 done is he's adjusted to the lack of power with 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.560 the spatt well and steals able to compete. Yeah, but 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.280 I wonder how he would where he would get drafted. 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:50.000 Let's say he's just coming up and given what we 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:53.560 ask of pitchers now, or what we want from pitchers, 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.320 you got to throw at least ninety five to get 0:23:56.320 --> 0:24:00.640 their attention, now, don't you. Yeah, it's weird. It's exactly 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:04.159 the power. It's everything's power, right, everything's power, power, power, power, 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.080 And you're right, what would he be? And you're looking 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.400 at a kid, you know, coming out of Dallas, Texas 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.280
