WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Mike Florio (05-05-20) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.920 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.799 And I said, are we having tacos today? And lo 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:17.480 and behold Cinco de Mayo, tacos coming up, braized chicken. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.520 We came in this morning, and I said to PAULI, 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.920 because the other Danets are at home, I said, it's 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.680 gonna be tough to do a show today because it'll 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.880 be hard to concentrate. Man, does it smell good in here? 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:37.640 Not as good as maybe the Italian sandwiches, the Italian 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.959 beef sandwiches on Friday, but it's really close. Oh that's right. 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:46.199 The Dane's missed out on that as well. Yeah, well, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.800 well we'll let you know how they taste in about 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.839 forty minutes from now. You're the Michael Jordan of foods. 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:56.680 You're just rubbing it in. M Yeah, MC club. I'm 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.320 cooking some nice soup here, Dan, soup, do you cookop? Well, 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.040 you open the can, you throw it in the pot. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.600 I mean, yeah, I don't know if you cooked it. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.480 You heat? I think you heat soup. Yeah, that would 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.400 be talking about the heat and the heat. All right, 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.600 Final Hour, we'll talk to Mike Florio. I don't know 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.840 how he is going to spend his Thursday night the 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.360 three hours that they have for the schedule release with 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.199 the NFL. Man, I give it to the NFL full 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.200 speed ahead, Do not pass, go, do not collect two 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.720 hundred dollars. Man, there's like we're going straight ahead. We 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.960 got football coming up here. All right? Maybe you do, 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.640 and here's your schedule. I want to know what happens 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.600 if you don't have a sixteen game schedule. Where do 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.960 you take the games from the schedule? Do you take 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.160 games that are non conference? You got to have the 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.480 games within your own division. I'd be curious about that. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.560 Let's say you have a twelve game schedule. Let's just 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.160 worst case scenario. Do you work your way back or 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.960 from front to back with your schedule? That's what I'm curious. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.840 If I have to eliminate let's say two games or 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.120 four games, how am I eliminating them? No games in 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.600 Mexico City, there's no games in London. So we'll talk 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.000 to Florio about that. He'll join us coming up a 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.400 little bit. And as sports fans, we've been put to 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.400 the test. We love competition, and ESPN is really putting 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:23.400 that theory to the test because I watched Korean baseball. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:29.440 I did Samsung Lions, who I had the under against 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.720 the NC Dinos, and the NC Dinos beat Samsung for 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.760 nothing last night. And look, this is an interesting experiment 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.800 we have for sports fans now. And you know, if 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.280 you're trying to get young kids to watch baseball, will 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.760 young kids watch Korean baseball? They have the bat flip, Hey, skippy, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.079 let's watch the Korean Baseball League. They encourage a bat 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.840 flip here. You know there's no brushback pitches after a 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.839 bat flip here. I go back to the early days 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.560 of ESPN Australian rules football. I have no idea what 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.720 the rules were, but I'll be damned if I didn't 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.440 watch Come back from the Bar and you're like, what's 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.560 on Australian rules football? All right? The guy in the 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.239 white Trent coat. Yeah, and we'd watch darts. We'd watch 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.120 it'll be fun. I don't know if it's a distraction 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.919 or not, but I'll give it a go. I'll take 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.880 a spin with the Korean baseball dick and entertaining, entertaining 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.200 Avery and Florida joins us. What's on your mind? Avery, Hey, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.839 how are you doing? Good, sir? So basically I'm at work. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.280 I'd make it quick for you. I just wanted to 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.840 thank you for a lot of these guests that you 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.320 bring on them. I'm twenty years old and a lot 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.440 of these guys I've never had a chance to listen 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.360 to them to speak, So bring me the questions he 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.840 asked them. Gives a lot of insight on what they've 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:52.560 experienced and whatever profession is they've done. And I'm a huge, huge, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.640 just I'm obsessed with golf. So here in Brooks kept 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.520 here this morning was pretty special. Yeah he's a good dude. Yeah, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.560 I like him. I think he's got a good personality. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.920 What do you do for a living, Avery, I've gone 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.840 to school right now. My dream is to be a 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.640 PGA licensed teaching pro and I work at a private 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.560 course over here in the Tampa area right now. Nice, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:19.480 any famous people's come through a certain I won't tell 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.760 you where I am at exactly because I can I 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.200 can lose my job for that. But a certain quarterback 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.279 is a Tampa Bay Bucks is a number? Has he 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.480 been there? He has? I was five feet away from 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:35.760 him the other day. How was said Hall of fame quarterback, 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:43.080 his golf games. His most athletic dude I've ever seen 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:48.120 in person. It's no understatement. He's as lean as anyone 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.400 I've ever seen. And he's got just a hand eye coordination, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.800 just fluent, you know, brings the club ed back and 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.440 swings through. It's just something else to see. He didn't 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.880 ask for any advice. He's getting lessons from the teaching call. Okay, okay, 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.479 all right, but he's got to get ready because he's 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.400 got that match Phil Nicholson, Tiger Peyton Manning and the 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.960 quarterback who belongs to this course. Maybe he'll uh, maybe 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.040 he'll use a few of those tips that are are 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.320 guy Davey nice, nice, Well, Avery, thank you for the 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.440 phone call, and I'm glad that we're entertaining you. Thank 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.360 you again. All right, that's Avery works at a golf course, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.320 and I know that golf course where a certain quarterback 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.800 is a member there. Yes, boy, sounds like here he 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:43.440 loves himself from Tommy. That's gonna be upset. Well, yeah, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.839 he's the most athletic guy. I wouldn't say Tom's the 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.520 most athletic guys. Wiry, Oh well, he takes the club 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.600 back on his past parallel. He's his arms so straight, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:06:00.520 so straight? Oh, what is wrong with us? What is wrong? 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.880 What is right with us? Either? So Tampa Bay, I 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.760 saw where two trademarks have been filed for the Tampa 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.640 Bay Gronken Ears. Now we came up with the Tampa 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.200 Bay Gronkin Ears. We didn't want to go back into 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.200 that sensitive topic of Tampa Bay. But I saw where 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.360 Gronken Ears people have filed for a trademark. Yeah, seton, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.840 I don't think that's anybody officiel though, by the way, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.760 I think that's people trying to jump on the second 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.440 wave of that. Did we make a T shirt yet 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.119 with the gronkn Ears? Oh? Yeah, weeks ago? Oh okay, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.400 I thought we did. I just we didn't get a 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.640 cease and desist. That usually, you know, if I know 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.839 we've done something that to successful was going to unnerve somebody, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.440 I get a cease and desist. The very end of 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.920 the Tampa Bay lawsuit controversy, we were selling pairs of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.599 the you could get Tampa Bay and Gronkin Ears together 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.720 as a bundle. I like that. I like that. I 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.599 haven't gotten a cease and desist in a while. Yeah, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.640 plea with Crons lawyers. It wouldn't be season desist to 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.240 be bro Chill, that'd be the official letter bro Chill. Yeah, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.960 the grunkin ears. God, I still laugh at the Tampa 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.880 Bay When I told my wife, I said I got 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.720 a season desist and she goes why and I said 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.000 Tampa Bay And she goes Tampa Bay and I go, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.080 we made T shirt for Tom Brady going to Tampa 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.480 And she goes, oh, that's so corny. I go, exactly, 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.160 that's right right up my alley with my audience. It's corny, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.320 like who would come up with Tampa Bay. And then 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.960 she goes, what are you going to comply? And I said, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.760 we're going to comply. But I had to read portion 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.360 of the season desist and then I said, let's make 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.960 a T shirt off of something that was in the 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:53.040 season desist letter that his name is Tom, his name 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:57.000 is Tom, his number is twelve, his last name is Brady. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.080 I said, Seaton, we got to do his name is 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.680 Tom T shirt? Yes, forsl and didn't we put something 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.760 at the back. We appreciate it through. Yeah, Well, they 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.280 were varying, very nice and it's mclovin said day this 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.640 law firm is no joke. No, no, they're no joke, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.800 and we certainly respect that they did their job for Tom. 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.200 They did say that we appreciate your enthusiasm. I said, 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.480 we got our T shirt. Here, we got another T shirt, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.360 and you can check out those T shirts by the 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.520 way at dan Patrick dot com. All right, we got 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.000 a pull question. We stand with that poll question there. Mclovin. Well, yeah, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.160 I'm still surprised. If you could start a t with 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.439 any center after nineteen eighty five, who would it be? 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.880 Shack was the answer? Can I ask you that same question, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.160 what if who is college centers? And you put in 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.040 Ralph Sampson into that conversation? Who is the best college 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:50.880 center during that era of centers? Um? I didn't think 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.560 Ralph was a great center. I think at seven to four, 0:08:55.000 --> 0:09:00.719 you've not seen that before. I just and it's not 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.120 fair to Ralph because it's hard to live up to 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.000 that literally and figuratively you're seven four. I just didn't 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.079 find him as dominating. Didn't you have that showdown with 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:17.240 Sampson and Ewing? Yeah, there's three Ralph Sampson in college. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.400 He averaged twenty points and twelve rebounds. Basically for four years. Yeah, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.920 I just I found him to be an athletic big man. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.640 I didn't find him to be like Ewing was such 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.240 a force. Alcindor was such a force. Bill Walton such 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:41.280 a force. Like these were true great big men and intimidators. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.079 I always thought Ralph he may not have had that 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.280 personality that he wanted to crush your spirit. And you know, 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.480 if he played now, he'd be porzingis, wouldn't he He'd 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.800 be a stretch three or whatever they call him now. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.720 But now I put I'm trying to I'm sure I'm 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:04.120 leaving out some centers. But if Elijahan was spectacular, he 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:10.439 just was both ends just so graceful. Yeah, he Alisindor 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.559 was graceful, a kym was had better footwork, like he 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.680 had a point guard's footwork there, And yeah, I would 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.040 probably take him. David Robinson was wonderful when he was 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.040 at the Naval Academy. You know, there's a few and 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.240 then I'll leave him out. Like Tim Duncan wasn't a 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.240 big man. I had to go out of your way 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.640 to find wake Forrest and then you'd watch and go, Okay, 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.160 that guy seems like he's pretty good. Nobody thought Tim 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.600 Duncan was going to be Tim Duncan because you weren't 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.600 quite sure. Is he a forward? Was he a center? 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.480 And I think going to the Spurs team that was 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.640 already established David was there, you ended up getting all 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.920 star lineup, a Hall of famers there, and Duncan was 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.240 the quintessential. He would be almost and maybe this isn't 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.439 fair a modern day Bill Russell from the standpoint of 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.840 what do you want me to do? Make the team better, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.040 because I'm going to do it and they would win 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.400 now he put up. He was a better offensive player 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.599 than Bill Russell, not as good defensively, but you know, 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.280 Duncan was when when your nickname is the big fundamental, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.480 it's not like you're just screaming for highlights there. We 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.360 didn't fight over the Spurs highlights back there in the 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.559 Sports Center days. No, I want Duncan's highlights. Nobody did that. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:28.160 Philadelphia Inquire columnist criticized the Last Dance for allowing Jordan 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:32.840 to trample all over Jerry Krause, and the column is this, Uh, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.080 Mike Selski, it's pretty I think it's Sealski. Sealski, Yeah, 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.560 he's a head columnists now for the inquiry. Yeah, he uh. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.800 He said that basically, they never should have allowed Jordan 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:49.360 to trample on Jerry Krause, you know, who's now deceased. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.120 But in the column he says that, you know, this 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:58.000 really tells you who Jordan was all about. It's harder 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.400 to separate the entertainment and algic value of the series 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.560 from Jordan's agenda, from his desire to preserve his legacy, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.319 settled scores, and rub his status and greatness in the 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.360 faces of his real and perceived rivals, one in particular, 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.640 Jerry Krause, Bulls general manager for eighteen years. Yeah. I 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.559 understand this, I do. But that's who Jordan. If you're 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.880 gonna show Jordan, then this is who he is. I mean, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.880 Jerry Krause is deceased, but that doesn't stop Michael from 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.600 getting his side of the story. There, you know, Isaiah Thomas, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.560 I'm gonna tell you my side of the story. That's 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.000 what this is all about. It's a chance for Michael 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.480 to you can say, set the record straight, but he's 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.920 not really changing anything. This is who he is and 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:55.120 who he was. Jordan apparently can't abide by Krause playing 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.880 a role in any of the Bulls success, with a 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.040 physique like a honeypot, according to the columnist, and an 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.400 irascible disposition with his own opinions about how to operate 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.760 an NBA team. Mike doesn't give Jerry Krauss any credit 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.439 for the bull success. These are wounds that you know, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.680 the Isaiah Thomas stuff. I mean, there are people still 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.480 talking about Isaiah not making the Dream Team. And I 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.640 know that Isaiah has to answer this, but how can 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.040 he answer to it? Hey, I'm one of the great 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.520 point guards of all time. Maybe people just didn't like me. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.439 You know, nobody wants to Patrick Ewing didn't want to 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.040 talk about it today. Barkley didn't want to talk about it. Hey, 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.679 I don't know. I don't know why he wentn't on 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.840 the Dream Team. We do. There has to be Am. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.280 It drives me crazy with this because you have you 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.600 had the front office of the Pistons running the Dream Team, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.959 you have the coaching staff, right, Jam, couldn't they have 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.920 just said, hey, we want Isaiah on this team. Do 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.760 they play a role here? The reason why they don't 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:03.680 play a role is I honestly think it was discussed privately. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.400 This is who we want. This is who I want 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.000 on the Dream Team. And they didn't want to hang 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:15.520 with Isaiah. That's all I mean. David Falk, Michael's agent, 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.719 could have said, hey, by the way, I'm gonna be 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.600 the bad cop here, Mike will play, because once again 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.880 they wanted Michael to play, not needed, but they wanted. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.440 They wanted to have the Dream Team. They wanted to 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.239 showcase these players. They wanted to have global expansion with basketball, 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.760 and it did. The impact of the Dream Team cannot 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.560 be overestimate with what it meant in these soccer driven 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.040 countries now wanting to play basketball. That's what the NBA 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.880 envision That's what David Stern envisioned, and he told me 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.360 that that was the importance. We want to showcase our 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.560 best players. We want global expansion here, we want our 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:01.160 games to be broadcast in other countries. And you look 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.120 at China before what happened, you know, in the preseason, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.800 then that seemed like a long time ago. And I 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.600 mean that's a billion dollar enterprise the NBA in China 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.080 and all these players growing up and seeing that, I 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.960 just don't think they wanted to hang with Isaiah. Thomas 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.640 Stockton was going to be on his own nobody. He 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.640 was not going to roufle any feathers. John was just 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.520 going to go in and be a professional play That's it. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.680 Barkley got to hang bird Ewing, Jordan got to hang. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.240 He got Chuck daily to play golf with every day. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.120 Here is Jack McCallum. He's the author of He wrote 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.240 the book on the Dream Team and this courtesy of 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:43.560 Fox Sports Radio. Jack McCallum on Isaiah not being on 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.640 the Dream Team. It's my best information that Chuck never 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.560 went to the committee and said I gotta have my captain. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.080 So there was a lot more people than Jordan, you know, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.600 involved in this decision, and McCloskey was a powerful member 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.800 of that committee. I mean Jack said that, you know, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.520 he resigned because Isaiah wasn't on there. But my information 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.040 is that there wasn't a lot of table pounding by 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.480 the two Piston people that were in the best position 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.760 to get Isaiah on the team. Yeah, we can blame Jordan, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.760 you can blame some of the other players there, but 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.880 I mean the Pistons didn't. Chuck Daly was the head 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:28.479 coach here. I just think this came down to the environment. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.280 They didn't want Isaiah was a better point guard than 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.880 John Stockton. If you're going to ask Michael to do 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.280 something for you, now it did help Michael and the 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.480 Jordan brand. But if you're asking Michael, hey, I want you, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.800 I need you to play for the Dream too. I 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.600 need you to play and you say to Mike, I 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.040 got a three week I got a month vacation for you. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.320 You get to play golf, you get to have some fun, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.600 you get to dunk on some you know, countries that 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.960 aren't very good in basketball, and you can showcase air Jordan. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.600 Are you? Are you up for it? Who else is 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.080 on the team would be my first question. And when 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.680 he says who's on the team, you know what he 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.400 is referring to, and he says it in the documentary. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.920 I feel bad for Isaiah that he's got to answer 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.080 these questions of not being liked, because really that's what 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.880 it comes down to. Bill Namebier doesn't give a damn 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.000 if you like him or not Isaiah. But Bill Lambier 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.879 wasn't on the Dream Team. Isaiah cares what you think 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.760 about him. Bill Lambier did not, does not, And it's 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.199 you know, I understand where Isaiah's got to answer these 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:41.960 questions like why weren't you on the Dream too? Why 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.080 were you on the Dream And he doesn't know. All 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.159 you need to see is that Mike in that day 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.880 when he has that documentary, when he hears Isaiah say 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.920 something about Michael and then he basically curses after that, 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.600 he respects Isaiah. He doesn't like Isaiah, so why would 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.639 he go, hey, I don't like you, but come on, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:02.680 have some fun with the Dream Team. I mean, it 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.360 just doesn't make any sense the Pistons front office there 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.040 with Chuck Daly. Isaiah deserved to be on the Dream Team. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.720 I mean, if you want to start taking out people, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.080 Isaiah would be one of the top five players would 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.800 probably have on the Dream Team. Back then, Larry was 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:23.360 past his prime. You could say Chris Mallen, okay, wonderful player, absolutely, 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.520 but you know Isaiah was better. Do I look at 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.560 Clyde Drechsler and I mean, that's I hate doing it. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.440 But if you were saying, you know that guy or 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.800 this guy, well, I think Michael wanted to have fun 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.960 and I don't blame him. You look at the power 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.320 that Mike had. Michael had so much power the last 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:51.040 year of his career. He said to the NBA, you 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:56.320 can shoot all of this, but it's mine. Imagine the power. 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.480 You can shoot all this documentary, all this footage, I 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:07.359 sign off on it. That's power. And that's why we 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.320 have a documentary because Michael said, now we can do it. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.960 Lebron just won his third title. Let's put it out. 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.400 Let's give people a taste of what that was all 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.000 about and why there is no discussion of who's the 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.520 greatest player of all time. And I'm gonna settle some scores. 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.920 I'm gonna rub it into some people. I don't stop. 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.760 I never stop. This is who I am, this is 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.280 who I will always be. Twenty after the hour, This 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.440 is The Dan Patrick Show.

Mike Florio on loan 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.520 from Pro Football Talk dot com and judging from the 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.160 liquor stash behind you in the barn, Mike, you're doing 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:47.520 pretty well. Well yeah, not yet though not this morning 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.160 it's still early, but later today I'll be doing very well. 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.640 All right, Well, thanks for joining us from the barn. 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.840 The NFL's overall strategy here full speed ahead. You know, 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.240 with the draft we're still gonna have it. Was there 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.879 any ability of them not having the schedule release party 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.720 this Thursday? Well, you know there was a report last 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.119 week that the league office had been debating whether to 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.159 delay it because once you release the dates, presumably tickets 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.160 or for sale, do you get yourself into a situation 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.720 where you've got to deal with processing refunds? How do 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.479 you deal with all of that? But the NFL ultimately 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.879 decided to go forward. There is a high level of 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.240 optimism Dan that they are going to get the season 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.680 in now. Well, they have to delay it by a 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.760 month or so to accommodate allowing people to attend games, 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.800 And as crazy as that sounds, there is confidence within 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.000 the league office that people will be able to attend 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.200 games that they choose to do so that the world 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:42.040 will be very different come September or October. But there 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.359 continues to be this sense that this is what they 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.359 need to do. There's a ton of money that is 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.639 riding on it. Plus they believe they're doing a public 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.240 service to those of us who are desperate for sports 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.920 to return. I was also wondering about this because I 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.760 think we both heard from sources that, you know, if 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.320 there's a truncated season, let's say it's twelve games or 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.520 fourteen games, where do they take those two games or 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.399 four games from it from non conference, the front of 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:10.480 the schedule, back of the schedule. Yeah, I don't know 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.840 at this point, but it does make sense to look 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.000 at the schedule very carefully when it comes out to 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.080 look for those clues. That's the first thing I'm gonna do. 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.480 There's been speculation that the interconference games will be the 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.240 first four weeks of the season, and those would be 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.520 the ones that would most easily be wiped out or 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.720 maybe taken away and put on that back end of 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.840 the schedule. Dan, I think it is very possible that 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.480 the season would be delayed by up to a month 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:40.640 to accommodate the ability to have open stadiums. That politically, 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.520 it's going to be delicate in states like California to 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:45.720 get the governors to sign off on the idea of 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.600 letting anyone who chooses to show up, understanding the risks 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.920 and testing will be much more prevalent by then, it'll 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:53.560 be easier for people to know if they've had this 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:57.200 virus via antibody testing. But if delaying in a month 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.480 allows every state that has an NFL state get to 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.040 the point where they'll say, go ahead, let people show 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.040 up if they choose to, that's what they would do. 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:06.720 And then I guess they could take those first four 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.000
