WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Chris Mannix, Sal Paolantonio 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You were listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.840 Sports Radio. It's a Thursday. It's hour or two here 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:11.320 in Scottsdale. Beautiful once again. Temperatures should be in the seventies. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.520 They start out and around forty degrees when we get 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.599 here at five thirty in the morning, and then the 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.200 sun comes up and we're good to go. Great backdrop here. 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.680 We're in right field at Scottsdale Stadium, home to San 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.880 Francisco Giant Scott to take some batting practice early early 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:31.560 this morning, and I wanted these guys to hear what 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.919 one hundred miles an hour sounded like. And we got 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.880 into the cage down below Fritzie. Fritzie looked like Babe Ruth. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.239 There he was swinging. You were you were making no, no, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.640 You looked at us five or something. Then Fritziel's can 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:50.800 I get batting gloves? And I go it really stungh, gosh, 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.760 didn't you guys feel that that kind of hurt? You 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.560 didn't even get in when they were throwing a hundred 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.400 I did not take the guy that was just kind 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.960 of logging all. A guy named Pedro was throwing about 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.920 fifty miles an hour, about as far as I was like, 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.120 you were getting it. He made good contact, and then 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:04.920 I said, all right, let's get in dial it up 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.400 to a hundred, and I just wanted to make contact. 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.480 I fouled one off and I went, all right, I'm good, 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.640 I'm out of here. The sound of one hundred miles 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.880 an hour is unsettling. It's like, yeah, I remember there 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.520 was a baseball player who faced Nolan Ryan and he 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.240 complained to the umpire and he goes, that didn't sound 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.840 like a strike. He didn't say that didn't look like 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.360 a strike. Just the sound of Nolan Ryan throwing a fastball. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.920 He's like, that didn't sound like a strike. Yeah, Paul 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.360 Fritzie batting face looks like John Mayer guitar solo Seeton. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.400 You got you with me on that, Like Joe cockerback 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:49.880 in the days, John May look at his face like 0:01:49.960 --> 0:02:00.600 at the screen mountains. Yeah, he was. He was digging 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.200 in there. We couldn't get him out of the cage there. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.800 Marvin got in, took some rits. Yeah, that contact on 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.040 two of them with but one hundred. These guys eat 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.799 up one hundred. It's when it's ninety two and it's 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.160 moving and it's like they have a jugs gun, they 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.400 have a pitching machine. Oh, we're showing it's Fritzie slow motion. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.400 If you're watching on Peacock Fritzie. Uh well, the Mighty 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:31.280 Casey has struck out. Get out of help from my friends. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:41.880 Uh our thanks to the giants. We had to sign 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.400 a waiver because they thought, if you know, we happened 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.519 to get hurt. And then Fritzie looked at the fine 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.400 print and he says, they're asking if I want to 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.079 be cremated here, thank you very cremated question. Man, I 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.160 don't know if I should sign that. Yeah, yes, Marv, 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.239 Oh no, hey, I want to apologize to Bobby Jones 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.919 and Casey Jones about the Hall of Fame. Yeah, we 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.880 brought up Kyrie Irving and then you said, well, Kyrie's 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.720 gonna get in the Hall of Fame. Bobby Jones is 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.519 in the Hall of Shame. Here's my theory regarding to 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.519 basketball Hall of Fame. Now, I just thought about it. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.640 Either yourn't iconic teams, or you have iconic moments. Okay, 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.480 So if you're on like the eighty three sixes, which 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.400 is forgive me Paulie, they feel eighty five Barrish. Okay, 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.120 we're at that. For that one season they were dominant 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.800 and Casey Jones a part of those championships with the Celsians, obvious, 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.560 like Reggie Miller, like those moments at the Garden, you know, 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.000 stuff like that. So I think that gets you into 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.960 the hall. All Right, we say good morning those watching 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.720 on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Download the app and 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.680 we'll talk to Chris Mannox get his thoughts on the deal. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.640 That certainly, if you're waking up in Phoenix, Scottsdale surrounding areas, 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.640 you got Kevin Durant, you got a new owner, and 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.480 he certainly made a splash here as Kevin durandt is 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.800 now a member of the Phoenix Suns. As we bring 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.160 in the Great Reporter Sports Illustrated Senior, right, Chris Mannix, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.360 how big of a surprise is this that Durand's Durant's 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.040 now and Phoenix, Chris, It's it's a pretty big surprise. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.520 You know. The Nets in making the Kyrie Irving trade, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.840 they have been operating like a team that for at 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.039 least the rest of this season, was trying to see 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.280 what it could do with Kevin Durant. They had other 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:29.080 offers for Irving, specifically with the Lakers that might have 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.840 brought back more in terms of draft capital, but the 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.040 Mavericks deal you gave them NBA talent. I mean Spencer 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.600 Dinwittie eighteen point per game score, Dorian Phinney Smith is 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.560 one of the best wing defenders in the NBA. So 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.040 the plan in the aftermath of the Irving trade was 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.760 to kind of try to see what they can do 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.760 with Durant and a bunch of high quality role players. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.320 That really changed in the last twenty four hours, maybe 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:04.120 less in with with the Sons being the aggressor with 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.200 their new owner Matt Ishpia really wanted to make a 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.320 splash and you know, coming to the table with an 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.520 offer for Kevin Durant that was more significant and gave 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.440 the Nets more than what they wanted uh last summer. 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.600 So you know, to get this deal done, I think 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.160 you've got to give credit to the new ownership in 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.400 Phoenix for really pushing to make something like this happen. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.960 And they also didn't have to give up DeAndre Ayden 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.240 and I don't know if he wants to stay in Phoenix. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.880 He and Monty Williams have had their moments there, but 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.039 I don't think that. I just don't think the Nets 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.320 wanted DeAndre Aden. I really doubt I don't know. I 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.320 think they could have had DeAndre Aden. I think they 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.040 could have had DeAndre Aden last year. Um, Look, the 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.479 player they wanted was Michael Bridges. I mean, Michael Bridges 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.320 is a modern NBA talent. Um you know, he's a 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.880 long wing player. Maybe you know, one of the top 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.920 you know, top two or three best defensive players in 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.560 the league. Manageable contract for the next I think four years, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.560 three to four years. They wanted mccael Bridges, and they 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.400 wanted every draft pick the Suns could give up. And 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.320 that's exactly they got, exactly what they wanted in this deal. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.839 All right, explain the Lakers situation. You don't get Kyrie. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.120 That felt like Darvin ham and Russell Westbrook were playing 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.640 nice until the other night when they had words with 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.040 one another. And now he's in Utah. You get D'Angelo Russell. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.920 But I looked at the DraftKings odds to win at all, 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:35.600 the Lakers odds didn't change one bit. So how dangerous 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.640 are the Lakers? Well, they should have changed because I 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.440 think the Lakers did a fantastic job over the last 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:48.000 week leading up to this trade deadline, beginning with acquiring 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.120 Ruy Hashimorro, who kind of stabilizes that small fourth position 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.839 in the starting lineup, and then Dan. They went out 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.680 and finally realized that to build a six sessful team 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.839 around Lebron James's talent, you need shooting. This is something 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.800 that Miami did, this is something that Cleveland did, and 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.040 for the last couple of years, it's the kind of 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.360 thing the Lakers downplayed as being as being necessary with 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.680 their signings and the trade of Russell Westbrook or for 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.680 Russell Westbrook. Now they get some guys, you know from Utah, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.240 like Malik Beasley. He can really shoot Ruy Yoshimura from 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.400 specific spots on the floor. He can really shoot D'Angelo Russell. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.360 In January, Russell shot forty percent from three. This month 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.600 he's right around forty three percent from three. He's really 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.640 coming alive with that jump shot. They are a decidedly 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.560 better team now than they were a week and a 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.440 half ago. And look, you don't want to use the 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.480 cliche of you don't want to play Lebron in the playoffs. Well, 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.960 Lebron with a healthy Anthony Davis and this group around him, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.239 you know, with enough time to kind of come together, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.120 I think they've got it. They're gonna be I think 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.200 they're gonna be a really dangerous team in the postseason. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:10.280 Explain to me how Kyrie and Luca work together. I 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.320 think they'll work fine. Offensively, you know, m Kyrie made 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.200 it work, albeit in a brief period with James Harden 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.640 and Kevin Durant, and with just Kevin Durant. Now Kyrie 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.600 can play off the ball. He's an excellent catch and 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.960 shoot player, and there's only so many shots that Luca 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.240 Dodgers can take. And look, I've been to several Mavericks 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.559 games this year, but you could see the frustration on 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.880 the face of Luca at varying points during the games 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.360 because he was having to do everything. Now, maybe the 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.199 minutes can tick down a little bit, Maybe, you know, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.480 he doesn't have to be you know, the twenty two 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.400 second per twenty four second shot blot guy every single possession. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.800 Kyrie's gonna take a lot of stress off him offensively. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.880 The problem is they are going to be deplorable defensively. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.360 Like you've got Kyrie and Luca, who at that are 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.679 average defenders. You've got Christian Woods still there for now, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.760 but we'll see what happened for the next five or 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:11.000 six hours. Your three best offensive players are not good 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.559 defensive players, and generally speaking, that's not a recipe for 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.480 success in the postseason. They're gonna have to average one 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.839 hundred and thirty again, They're gonna have to have it. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.480 We're gonna outscore you because if you need a critical stop, 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.959 that ain't happening with the Dallas Mavericks. Well it's also Dan. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.599 I mean not to swing it back to Phoenix, but 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.959 that's kind of the question mark there too, right, Like 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.160 they just traded away Bridges. Cam Johnson was a good 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.199 player for them, and I don't really know what they're 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.200 left with there like that. There's some weird line up 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.680 they're gonna have to throw out there now. They're gonna 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.880 score a lot of points too, And Durant and Booker 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.720 are as good at one two punch in the NBA. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.199 Chris Paul is the right point guard to kind of 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.760 meld all that together. But Chris Paul's got the defender 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.800 he used to be. Kevin Durant's a good defender. Booker's 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:05.199 okay defender, good average defender. Like that's a team that 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.000 I think, especially in the first couple of weeks of 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.280 this experiment, is going to have some nights where they're 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.520 giving up a lot of points. Who would have thought 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.400 Ben Simmons would be the last guy standing with the nets. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.720 Do you think that they tried to trade him, include 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:23.439 him in any trades? Well, I don't. That's to say 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.840 that's a poison pill in trades would be an understatement. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.240 I just there's no market for him, Like what, there's none, 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.319 Like there's Dan, there's no market for him whatsoever. Like 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.800 he's physically not able to prove he can stay on 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.160 the floor. When he's out there, he still won't shoot. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.280 He's not the defensive player that he used to be. There. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.079 There's just he's got, you know, one of the worst 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.400 contracts now in the NBA, maybe v worst contract in 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.520 the NBA. Um nobody's acquiring at the moment. Maybe. I mean, look, 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.599 we say this all the time, like maybe now with 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.120 a lesser role, Ben Simmons will play better. Maybe now 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.520 with a bigger role, Ben Simmons will play better. But 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.000 if you think about it, Dan even on this now 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.160 gutted Nets team. Where do you rank Simmons in terms 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:11.559 of best players? Like fifth, He's still not among the 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.960 top five or six guys or maybe six or fifth 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.240 or six on that roster right now. So the rebuilding 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.000 of Ben Simmons is going to have to continue because 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.400 nobody out there was or is interested in training for him. 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.240 I'll leave you with this, with the Suns making the 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.520 move with Kevin Durant, your favorite right now in the 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:36.360 NBA to win it all is I still think it's 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.360 going to come out of the Eastern Conference. And I'd 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.480 had you a little bit just say Boston or Milwaukee. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.120 I think those two teams have been the most consistent. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.360 I'd say Boston Milwaukee didn't exist, because Boston, I think 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.160 beats everybody else. But they have problems with the Bucks 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.520 and have had problems with the Bucks over the last 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.559 couple of years. And I look, I think Milwaukee's still 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.640 gonna deal to make two in the next few hours. 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.080 They have and doing everything possible to extract Jay Crowder 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.439 when he was with Phoenix. I think they're gonna find 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.360 a way to get him out of Brooklyn in some 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.000 kind of deal. Because the Nets have no use for 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.800 him at this point. You put Jay Crowder and if 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.280 he's still able to play, you know, having missed the 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.719 entire season at a high level, that's going to be 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.120 an upgrade for them. So it's one and one A 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.400 Boston Milwaukee to win the whole thing. Um however you 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.199 want to to rank them. Always good to talk to you. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.760 We miss you and we hope you're doing well. Chris, No, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.360 you don't No, you don't. Nah, you don't you don't 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.719 you dont you never call you never Wright? This is 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.440 like I even like deleted Fritzy's number from my phone. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.160 I just saw his area code pop up. So you 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.439 know that's that's that is That is pandering. Damn, that's 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.800 straight pandering. We reached out to you earlier this season 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.319 and you weren't available. Now I think i'd need I 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.719 need to do to make a whiteboard list of the 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.599 NBA insiders you're called before me? Like, was was I 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:01.040 like the fourth guy on the list? Here? Radio guys, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.679 let me ask hold on paul uh Paulieu. Do you 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.680 know if Mannox was the first guy we called today? 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.040 Do you want me to be nice? I want me 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.080 to be truthful, be truthful. Okay you were third. Yeah, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.079 well we're talking about what would you not you know? 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:26.679 And Chris Haynes Chris easy, easy, easy, you know, I'm sure, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.160 Fritzie whatever. Like I said to Rich Eisen, I'm a 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:35.319 Rich Eisen guy now, so I'm I'm te specially rich. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.959 There's a T shirt. Why did you come on to today? Then? 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.599 If you're a Rich Eisen guy, I just, you know, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.000 to be respectful and I enjoy our conversations since. But 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:52.280 you just disrespected me by being respectful to me. No, no, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.800 I'm I'm pointing out the level of disrespect that's been direct. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.199 I gotta go. Chris Haynes. Chris Haynes is on hold here, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.760 I gotta go. I've been waiting for ten minutes. Thank you. Yeah, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.760 that's Chris Mannix. Chris Mannix, which illustrated senior writer. Oh 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.040 he got frosty because we reached out to him one 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.599 time and he either didn't have anything or he was 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.680 sorry available. Yeah. I think he's one of those guys. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.400 Now it needs like twenty four to forty eight hours 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.480 at least notice, or you gotta talk to We've had 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.320 Mannix on probably more than any other in the history 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.640 of the NBA writer. What is he cranky about? Then? 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.040 I don't know, And you know it could midlight crisis 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.680 or recency bias. I think a couple of times when 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.360 a story broke, he didn't get a call and he's like, huh, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.440 he usually get a call. He's used to getting the 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.440 call over the past year. Well, you know, I told Fritzie, 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.120 why don't you check to see if Mannix has anything 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.160 on this story? You know, it seems like a novel 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:52.520 approach to have somebody on and retweeting something that doesn't 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.280 and Mannix is in love. Mannix is in love. He's 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.400 got other things to worry about. Seen it. Yeah, he 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.920 probably cares more about boxing than women's boxing than he 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.960 does UFC. He's been knocked out, Yes he has. Let's 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.800 take a break. He's cute's sweep. No, I'm glad. I'm 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.640 happy for him. But when he announces that he's a 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.760 rich eyes and guy, now okay, it's like all of 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.400 a sudden, he got engaged and like put on his 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.200 big boy pants and he's like, I'm gonna you guys, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.320 can't dream me like this? Yeah take that. Yeah. Marv 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.720 Vloody d Box in the Hall of Fame too. Well, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:32.240 you stop this. Why are you hating today, I'm not hating, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.080 Yeah you are. You're pointing out all these guys that 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.560 shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I don't know 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.080 if Ky's gonna get in the Hall of Fame. Do 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.000 you think Kyrie's gonna get in the Hall of Fame?

Sound Palantonio, It looks 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.960 like he's ready for a TV appearance. There, you look 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.560 like you're ready for ready to go on TV. You 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.320 knows as a reporter you always have to be ready 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.879 whenever you would sit around the mother Ship and that'll 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.200 be breaking news that you know, depending on what the 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.840 sport was. You go, hey, put on a jacket prop 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.800 you up and all of a sudden you go on TV. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.600 Sound good to see you, great to be here, dare, Yeah, 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.160 you're looking good all right? Is it different with your 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.800 hometown team? Is a super Bowl? Yes, just telling Todd 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.280 you know, I'm up to my chest and snakes and alligators? Man? 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.160 Why And it's everything all the time. It's twenty four 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.560 to seven coverage, you know, as it is when you 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.560 cover in a Super Bowl team for ESPN. But then 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.399 you add the fact that it's your hometown team, and 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.040 there are a lot of requests, a lot, and you 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:16.919 know you don't want anything to fall through the cracks. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.359 You don't want anything anybody reporting a story before you 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.520 do either. But how taxing is that for NFL reporters? 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.000 Certainly the importance of the sport for ESPN of not. 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.680 It's not taxing. You know, it's it's fun. It's definitely fun. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.520 But if somebody beat you to a story that you 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:41.200 should have gotten, blaming on Adam Schefter, all else fails. Yeah, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.240 you blame Chef. You can take him, couldn't you? And 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:55.200 in what way? I a fight? Probably? I don't know. Wait, wait, clear, 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.199 has have you seen Adams? I've seen him. I've seen 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.159 him without a shirt off. Adams got a shirt. He 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.760 was in the gym yesterday with me. He's he looks 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.320 like he's doing pretty good. Yeah, but clear something up. 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.399 Were you a Navy seal? I was not a Navy seal, 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.800 though I was. I was a surface warfare officer in 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.520 the United States Navy for six years. Okay, but that 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.480 sounds serious. I went through boot camp and Officer Candidate school, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.240 pretty rigorous training. And you train while you're in the Navy. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.560 So what did you want to do? Excuse me, what 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.119 did you want to do in the military? What I 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.280 did my service I was in. I enjoyed it. It 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:35.320 was great, but I missed my family, you know, being 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.840 out at sea it's hard. Yeah. Yeah, So you have 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.960 to make a choice. Really, if you're in the Navy, 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.200 you're either gonna be out at sea or you're gonna 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.359 come home. And and Cheft hasn't been on a destroyer. 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.520 No telling him on, I would take you over, Chefton. 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.440 That was I think there was almost going to be 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.159 a fight in Houston, almost at the bar, and I 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:58.160 remember Salam Powell was there and you had my back. 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.200 We won't about that, but but you know, we could 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:06.320 talk about it. Sal doesn't have to. All I know 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.200 is there was a guy who wanted me to do 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:09.760 a shot and I didn't want to do the shot. 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.560 Wasn't Dippelware. Yeah I did, so I do remember it. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.440 And all I know is I do remember it quite well. 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.440 This guy was getting in my face because I he 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.560 study thought that I was too good to have a 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.320 shot with him, and I'm going no, I just I 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:26.240 don't want to do a drink. If I do a shot, 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.359 then somebody's gonna say I saw him do five shots. 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.040 And all of a sudden, Sal is just staring at 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.560 this guy and you got your hands out. I don't 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.000
