WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Kevin Weekes (06-11-20)

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Thursday, Dan and the

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Danets Dan Patrick Show more of your phone calls. We're

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>going to talk to NHL Network former NHL goaltender Kevin Weeks,

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>African American who wanted to come on talk about Black

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>lives matter and what it was like when he was

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>playing goalie in the National Hockey League. I think he

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>played eleven years for four or five teams. And Kevin

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Weeks will join us, coming up at about fifteen minutes

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>eight seven seven three DP show email address, DP at

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handed a TP show. Adrian

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Wojnarowski laid out some details on NBA players who are

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>hesitant about being quarantined in Orlando. I'm shocked that it's

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>coming out now because it feels like we've had about

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>ten days where we were making progress. We had target dates,

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>we had the playoffs when they'll start, how many teams

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>are going to be involved, felt like we had some

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>things set in stone. At no point did I ever

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>hear there's some guys who aren't quite sure if they

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>want to come back. That's changed. Players are citing a

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>number of concerns according to woas, including family situations, the

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>inability to leave the Disney World Resort campus, the coronavirus,

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the implication surrounding the emergence of social justice causes in

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the country. This according to sources, participants in Orlando, including players,

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>will not be allowed to leave the bubble environment without

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a ten day quarantine upon their return to the Disney grounds.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Players with medical issues that might put them in high

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>risk categories could seek an independent examination to learn whether

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>they would be excused from participation. If you are not

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>given that medical exemption, you don't get paid. But players

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>who are on the teams that didn't qualify to go

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to Orlando do get paid. There's still a lot here

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to unpack. The NBA also is going to have a

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>panel that looks at medical records. There's gonna be privacy issues.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Just feels like this isn't is buttoned up as we thought.

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's why when mc CLUBN goes who comes back first,

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>baseball or the NBA, and I immediately went, well, of

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>course the NBA. And then the more I thought of

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 1>it is it might be the NBA is going to

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>come back after baseball. Yeah, MCCLUBN. But isn't this NBA

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>schedule supposed to be set? I mean, but it is.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>It is. But I still think baseball has a chance

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to get back before then. And the commissioner came out

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and said, guarantee it one percent. We're gonna have

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a baseball season. That means, worst case scenario, we have

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty games. When do you start fifty games? Are you

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to go all the way into

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>August and then start because they want to be done

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>by the end of October. They do not want to

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>dip into November. They're worried about going against the NFL,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're worried about a second wave of the coronavirus.

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>These are things that they privately discussed the owners have.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>If the commissioner comes in and bigfoots everybody says fifty games,

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>let's go, is everybody going to be rushing back? These

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>players are not going to be accommodating with these owners

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>just not going to be And then I wonder can

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 1>baseball get back in time? I still go back to

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>what I mentioned a couple of months ago, and I

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>brought it up again in the first hour, and that

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>is it would be wonderful if Baseball could come back.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's a Kumbaya moment, but you have your All

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Star game to start your season, kind of like Daytona

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>starts NASCAR, the Daytona five hundred starts NASCAR season. If

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you had an All Star game and you just showcased

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>your best players, reintroduce them to America, how about you

0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a handout free tickets now straight A students? You know?

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Can you can you have fans come back? There's no

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>home if you know, home field advantage for the World Series, nothing,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing like that. Can you do something special? And I

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is, but that's what I would

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>hope Baseball would do. And I was told Baseball this

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:22.119
<v Speaker 1>was a proposal that was on the table a couple

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>of months ago, July fourth, Los Angeles, and I was

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>told specifically Mike Trout and Cody Bellinger would pick teams

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and they would have an All Star Game. Can you

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>do it? Would the players be willing to do it?

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>That's the key? And right now, these players are not

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>going to do anything more than what they're being paid

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to do. Hey, you want us to help with a

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>home run derby? Noah All Star Game? No? You want

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>us miked up. No, they're not going to do anything

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 1>pace of play now, and that's where it could get

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>really ugly. You hope the product we see is representative

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of what baseball should be, and I don't know if

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be all right. Uh some phone calls here,

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Greg and Illinois joins us. Hi, Greg, what do you

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>have for me? Hey? Dan, Cody and Tennessee was great,

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome. I love I love how the type of

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>car you get is equal to your importance to the university.

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>That explains why I always had to ride my bike

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to climb that. A quick question for you, do you

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>think do you think there's a big enough name coach

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>or program that could get caught that would cause the

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>NCAA to change its rules, like maybe Alabama football for example. Well,

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean by changing its rules? Just the

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>type of just sort of behind the scene stuff that

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>goes on with the benefits that people are receiving. Maybe

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>they find a way to make that more in the clear.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you do it. And you know

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>with football you have to go for three years. And

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the phone call. Greg. Always great to

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>hear from you. Basketball, You're there for what six months,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>eight months, and then you're done. It's easier to have

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you almost like a turnstyle, come on in, here you go,

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>here's your keys, here's your money. If that's the case,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and not everybody gets that, But if you're going to

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>do a football program, it's different. It's three years. You

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>may be really highly recruited when you get there as

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a freshman. By the time you're a junior, you may

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>be a backup. And if you're looking at pay scale

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and what can I give you? Can I give you

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>minimum wage? Here? There's always going to be outliers who

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:37.359
<v Speaker 1>are going to give somebody something more, and certainly that'll

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 1>happen in college football basketball. If you take away the

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>one and done, are you then going to go to

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the secondary stars, the guys who might be a three

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>star or maybe a four star, who will go for

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>two years and then you take care of them because

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you're still going to have value. In college basketball, we

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>may not have the marquee names, but you'll still have

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>a good product on the floor. We just won't have

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the tune in factor that you would normally have where

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>tune in to sees Ion Williamson. It might be somebody

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>who is a good player, maybe a really good high

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>school player, and a good player in college, and you

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>might have more balanced teams in college basketball because nobody's

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>getting that star, or you might get somebody who slips

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>through the cracks and they stay two years, or they

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>develop into a really good player. In basketball, it's almost

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>like what I see when you get into college or

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>your first year in the NBA, Like that's who I'm

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at, That's who you are. Football, that's not the case.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>It feels like you're more of a finished product in basketball,

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.679
<v Speaker 1>even though you're not. We see your greatness right away.

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't always see that with college football. You don't

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>see that with baseball as well, but basketball it's just

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. I don't know if anything changes

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>anytime soon, but I do find it interesting all the

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>people making money don't want players to make money. Everybody

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>else gets to make it, not the players. We had

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Jay Billis on in the first hour, we've been talking

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>about Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush yesterday was on the Herd

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>saying that he wants his heisman back, but more importantly,

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>he wants younger players to understand what's going on. You know,

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>times have changed since two thousand and five with Reggie Bush,

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and he brought down or that scandal brought down the

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>USC program and they haven't recovered. But he's saying, I

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>want to be able to help, you know, younger players,

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 1>see what I did. I don't think he's getting his

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>heisman back. The Heisman Trust has vacated that they asked

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>him to ship the heisman back prepaid by the Heisman Trust.

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>But here's Jay Billis on the Reggie Bush situation. Do

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you think Reggie Bush should get his Heisman trophy back? Well,

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>first of all, yes, I do, but I don't. I

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think they vacated. I think he gave them voluntaly

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>gave it back, and so he didn't voluntarily give it back.

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>I think he did. I think he gave it back

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to the Heisman Trust. I don't think they stripped him

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of it. I think he gave it back. But I

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>may be wrong there. But I will tell you that

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>if I were in charge at USC, I would retire

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>his number immediately, and I would put the heisman that

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>they have back in Heritage Hall, and I would put

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>his number back, his jersey back in Heritage Hall where

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 1>it was when this whole thing happened, because that whole

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>thing was a travesty and it's not a question of

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>whether his family took money down to San Diego or whatever.

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>That was one of the most corrupt investigations the nc

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>double has ever gone through. Paul D, the former athletic

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>director Miami, was the chair of the committee. That was

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the harshest sanctions since SMU got the death penalty in

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty eighty six, eighty seven something like that. And

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 1>a year later Miami was in the crosshairs and Paul

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>D said, well, I didn't know anything about it. I mean,

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it was the hypocrisy of the highest level. I've never

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>seen anything like that. That's Jay billis first hour of

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the program on Loan from the Mothership. Yeah, Reggie Bush

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't pay back the money and these agents went public

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and that that created the storm. It brought everybody down.

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>But Jay was wrong. He even followed up with Fritzie saying, hey,

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe I don't have all the information right

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman trust. They stripped him and they said we

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>want the heisman back. Reggie didn't voluntarily do it, and

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it took him a year to send it back. Yeah,

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Pault He mentioned SMU football and how they got busted.

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>You have to be really dumb to get busted in

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>college athletics. And if you remember, and SMU was dumb,

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>SMU was handing out cash payments to players from letterhead

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>like you know how they have a stanfre Turn address

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>on an envelope like a letterhead from a company. It's

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>at SMU Athletic Football department. And the envelope was handed

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the kid and one of the kids who wanted to

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>protect himself, kept one of his payments in the envelope

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and it had a note he had the schedule, everything

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like that, and had SME Athletic Department office on the thing.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>There's your pay per trail there is. So they would add,

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 1>we can't find some blank envelopes, Send someone to the

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>k and get some blank envelopes. Office depot, get some

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>blank envelopes. Oh my god, Jordan in Seattle, Hi, Jordan,

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me? Hey? Six to three

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in a COVID two thirty Suck it back row. Hey,

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>if your university or your college out there, if anybody's

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>out there thinking that it's not happening, it is. I

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>was an average Division two player with a lot of

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>guys with Division one talent on the team because they

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>couldn't go D one because the NCAA clearinghouse wouldn't improve

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 1>them because they'd either grades or typically behavioral issues. So

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you see a lot of guys that are Division two

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>teams with Division one talent. But you know, even at

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a Division two school, I knew we had a revolving

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>drop top AMG that the captain got every year as

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the other guy left, So every senior captain got the

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>same droptop Mercedes convertible essentially, and so it was revolving

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and everybody knew about it, and it was just kind

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of what it was. And did you get anything, Jordan, Well,

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't that good. I was just I wasn't even

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>allowed to dripple. If I caught it, I shot it.

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>That was it. But what I got, I was at

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a level little things like hey, I see you have

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a new girlfriend. You have enough money to take her out?

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>And it was never money. It was here's a couple

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>of movie tickets and a gift certificate to a restaurant.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>That was my level. Right when I knew I was

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>in trouble was my junior year. I got the coach

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>recruited a shooting guard that all of a sudden had

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a new Harley Davidson, and that's when I knew my

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>playing time for JN. Thank you, Jordan. It still sounds

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 1>pained by that. Here's some movie tickets. Meanwhile, the guy

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>who's coming to take your job has got to Harley Davidson.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember going to It was late afternoon lunch, but

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was dinner. And I went with basketball

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 1>players and we went into this Italian restaurant and I

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>just remember we sat down and I didn't order much

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't have any money, and these guys were

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>ordering everything on the menu, and I went, damn, these

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>guys are hungry. Well we get done and I'm eating

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>like a bird, like I'm just nibbling on staff and

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like that check's coming. And I go, boy,

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>if they you know, if this is equal by you know,

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>five guys or six guys, and I think it was

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>five guys. It went, if they did, you it up,

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm in trouble here. Next thing I know, these guys go,

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you're ready. I said, yeah, we gotta pay, and they go, no, no,

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>we don't pay, and it got up and left the restaurant,

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, wow, okay, that's there's no paper trail.

0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>You went in there, you ate, and there was I

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if these guys left a tip. Yeah, Todd,

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>how bummed are you that you didn't just want a

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of stuff? It must have been starving when well,

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>have you ever been to dinner and then somebody decides

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to pick it up after you vat and then you go, well,

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I've I have known that I would have ordered the steak,

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I ordered drafts, I would order a bottle of wine. Yeah, McLevin.

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>That's how we all learned not to hold back when

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>we go to dinner with you. Oh and you guys

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>don't don't hold But you know what, in that situation,

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it's always fun because except that one time at the

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Italian dinner club where we thought the food was free, yes,

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>because there was no menu, we all went to, Yeah,

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>let's get another point, private room, plate, a steak or

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>anything or everything. Yeah. So, my my wife is Italian

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was able to join the this Italian club

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Tira Senio in New York, and uh, I joined, but

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no prices to fix to anything. And I bring

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the dance in. First of all, it looked like our gang.

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>It looked like you know, Alfalfa, the spanky. No sport coats,

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to wear a sport coat. And I have

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a sport coat on and a tie. And the dan

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>AT's come rolling in and I go and you could

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>just see the horror the look on the bartender in

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the maitre D's faces, like, oh my god. They sent

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys up the back staircase. We had to, you know,

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>they had to go up two floors. And then they

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>lent these guys old sport coats and we sit down.

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Now there's no prices for wanting nothing, You're just you're

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>ordering and uh, I mean we had backroom guys. Uh casey.

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>So they're all in there, and next thing I know,

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>these guys are just ordering everything and anything. I realized

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's going to cost me. It's a big ticket item here,

0:15:55.320 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't tell my wife and she said, how

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>did you spend fifteen hundred dollars? And I go, oh, well,

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I brought the the whole group. What did they order?

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And I said everything? Pretty much? Everything? Hun Yeah, Pulling

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Tierra Sanyo means freeloaders. In Italian. No, no, it doesn't

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>shoot straight. Yeah, because they have a shooting gallery in

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the basement. It's called the Italian Gun Club, and they

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>actually have a retired police officer who's there and you

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 1>get to shoot twenty two's target practice there. It's pretty cool.

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>But Tira Senio ya see, we should go back sometimes? Yeah,

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 1>we should. How about just you and me go back?

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.920

0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a trigger one five. All right, just finding with the

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Zion Williamson and Reggie Brush connection, how appropriate kind of

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>both are as. I think Reggie Bush really represented the

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of systematic corruption that's happening in the MC. I mean, look,

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>we've been laughing and we've been conditioned accept it so

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.719
<v Speaker 1>much that the thought of Coachataine not knowing about something

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.360
<v Speaker 1>happening in the program to controls top to bottom, I mean,

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>we just we just let it pass and assume it

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is just what it is. So just as in society,

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, when certain reforms and penalties haven't worked to

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>change in curve a corruption and college programs, maybe it's

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>time to disband the MC. Now, Maybe the well, and

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that's been mentioned Tony, thank you. I brought that up.

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I wondered if the NCAA was going to be able

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 1>to withstand what's going on with the coronavirus, believe it

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>or not. I had some smart people say keep an

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>eye on that the NCAA's role. I just think you're

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>eventually going to have these Power five conferences be there.

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be college football, and then you're going

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to have the NCAA evern the rest of these college

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>football teams and other sports there as well. Just feels

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 1>like they might secede from the union there. But but

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, keep in mind, Reggie Bush didn't get an

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>improper benefit from a booster. He got it he signed

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>with an agency. He got it from a marketing company.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 1>He just didn't pay him back. So it wasn't like

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>USC said we got to pay him money or a

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>booster to get him to go to USC. It just

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to happen. Zion Williamson, you know you're one

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and done. You forced me to go to college, and

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 1>his parents wanted something allegedly, and he got a hand

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.919
<v Speaker 1>out there. The payout there, I certainly understand that. I

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>just want to know. We have to treat Duke the

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>way we're treating everybody else. I think that's the only

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>way to do it. But we have to be fair

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to the story. Got to be fair to the story

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and the information. This program brought to you by Mercedes

<v Speaker 1>we ready for Kevin Weeks? Almost? Almost? Kevin? Can you

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you can hear me? I certainly can Dan. How are you?

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Good morning man? And it's good to have you. Let

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 1>me give you the full introduction here. Eleven year career,

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>former goalie, first black analyst in the ninety one years

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of the NHL. And I know you've had some comments

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>on what's going on Black lives matter, and I was

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 1>curious in a sport like hockey, just what it was

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>like playing on a night in and night out basis

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of what kind of racism that you ran into. Yeah, Dan,

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I think for the listeners and the viewers more importantly,

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>hope everybody's safe just to start off there and healthy.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Of course, our deepest condolences to George Floyd family and others.

0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 1>But in saying that, from my own experience, it was

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 1>unique because my parents came from beautiful Barbados in the Caribbean.

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>They emigrated to Canada. I was born in Canada. You

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>know what hockey means to Canadian people, and right from

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>when I was six, I aspired to play in the league.

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>First grade, Miss Maher was my teacher. The first book

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:17.959
<v Speaker 1>I wrote, I sketched the NHL logo on sportboard. My

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 1>parents have it to this day. I had myself and

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 1>goalie equipment and I knew from then that was my

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 1>life school to play in the league. But along the

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>way playing youth hockey in Toronto, for the most part

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>at that time, everybody treated my family and my sister

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 1>and I well. Once I got to junior as opposed

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to play in US college. Once I got to junior

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>in Canada, I started to see a little bit of

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>a different vibe from some people because I was climbing

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the ranks, and that happened to be my NHL draft here.

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.439
<v Speaker 1>So for the most part, my teammates were great, but

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>some opposing players would say some things like, hey, we

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>have there's five brothers that are playing in this game,

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>why are we even doing the face off at center rise,

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a jump ball, you know that type of stuff.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And then in addition to know, some fans yelling racial

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>epithets in the stands where my parents would be there

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and my sister. So that was kind of my first

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of encounter with that. And then you know, you

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>had some odd knucklehead fans around the league. And there's

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>so many great cities that are leagues in but let's

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 1>say Philly. Philly's an awesome sports city just down the

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.439
<v Speaker 1>turnpike from us here. We know that it's a rich history.

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But what's weird is you have some people that are

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>charing for iverson Ahi. The answer, that's our guy. We

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 1>love AI, we love Elton Brand. And then the next

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 1>night I'm playing against the Flyers and then some people

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>will be yelling racial epithets. So that was part of

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the challenge. But ultimately, Dan, you know, those things are hurtful.

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>They show a lack of class on behalf of the

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>people that do that. But for me, it was about

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.439
<v Speaker 1>setting my own story, living my dream, taking care of

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 1>my family, playing in the best league in the world,

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>and being one of sixty goalies on planet Earth at

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>any given time, and sometimes one of one, and being

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the only black one on planet Earth. So I lived

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>my dream as a player, and I'm doing it now

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 1>as a broadcast. Did you ever tell management, Yeah, there

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 1>were certain instances where, you know, I played for some

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>great managers. I think all told, there's probably fifteen Stanley

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Cup rings between four of the general managers I was

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 1>privileged to play for. And they're not only Hall of famers,

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.919
<v Speaker 1>they're great people. So I've had some really great conversations

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 1>with Glenn Saylor, who was the architect of the Oilers

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>during their reign with Gretzky in the eighties. Also great

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Lou Lamrello who ran the Devil's Here, who I played for,

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 1>who's now running the Islanders, just to name a few.

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Commissioner Batman has always been very supportive at a great

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 1>conversation with him in This Morning, Deputy Commissioner Bill Day,

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the coaches I played for have been excellent.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Paul Maurice, John Torchetti, some other ones, but some of

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>them were really great around that, especially the aforementioned. They

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 1>were very helpful and they respected me not only as

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a player but also as a person. They respected my

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>family and that meant a lot to be still does

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to this day. But when you see bananas thrown on

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the ice, yeah, Kevin, that happened. I mean we see

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this in soccer. It's still going on. Yeah, but you're there,

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and like, how do you react to something like that

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 1>or not react to something like that? You know what?

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. That's a great question. I'm gonna tell

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you why. It's basic as a question, sounds damn You

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 1>capture the essence perfectly. Because we were playing in the

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.479
<v Speaker 1>Stanley Cup playoffs against Montreal in two thousand and two.

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I was with the Carolina Hurricanes and we're in the

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference quarterfinal. And you know the history of the

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Montreal Canadians, that is the New York Yankees in terms

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of wins in prestige, that is Manchester United. And there's

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>just something unique about playing in Montreal as there would

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>be in playing Madison Square Garden here in New York.

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But we lost that game. I wasn't that we lost

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a game two one in overtime, and after the game

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 1>there was a banana that rained down a fan of

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>thrown at me. Now here's what's crazy about this. Now,

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>it's two thousand and two, the most prestigious franchise in

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the league. I have family that lives in Montreal, and

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>this happens in Montreal. So and we lost the game,

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>by the way, let's just add that to it. So

0:24:58.119 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>we get in the locker room. You know, I'm a

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit upset about it, of course. I just think

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the ultimate human disrespect. And fortunately our PR guy

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 1>at the time, who is still there with the Carolina

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Hurricanes now, Mike Sonheim. I mentioned Jim Rutherford, who was

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.880
<v Speaker 1>our then GM, whos a GM of Pittsburgh, and Paul

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Maurice was our coach who coaches Winnipeg. They couldn't have

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>been any nicer, and my teammates couldn't have been any

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 1>more supportive. Now, the other part of your question is

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>how did I react. I reacted. I was very patient.

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I was very diplomatic. I was pointed, but I I

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>was very diplomatic in how I answered that and how

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I responded to it. And here's the challenge that I

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.879
<v Speaker 1>found with that, And a lot of athletes will tell

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you this, and a lot of people will tell you

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:46.359
<v Speaker 1>this too. Is the perpetrator. Often they do the act.

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Then number two, they want to govern how you do

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>or don't respond, if you can or can't respond. Three

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>and four if they choose to like your response or not.

0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's kind of unfair. You know, it should never

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>happen in the first place. I think that's the lowest

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:03.959
<v Speaker 1>former class. And you nail that. You talked about soccer,

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 1>and I love soccer, I love all sports. I have

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>friends in every league around the world. You know, I've

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>been as Syria games in Italy twice. But I think

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the biggest challenge and I've seen MLS games here in

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>North America, but I think the biggest challenge is all

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the governing bodies have to have a zero tolerance policy

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>for fans, employees, and players, and it has to be

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a safe place for everybody in the venue and every

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 1>sporting venue around the world. Talking to Kevin Weeks, who's

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a former NHL goalie spen eleven years in the league,

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>now working for the NHL Network their lead analyst, your

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on Bubba Wallace And I don't know if there's parallels,

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and I don't even want to I don't want to

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>make that leap. But I'm curious if you see parallels.

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to tell you or ask you if

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you see it, or tell you if you do. Do

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you see any parallels what Bubba Wallace is doing in NASCAR? Yeah,

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I mean, just based on the demographics of NASCAR.

0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I lived in the Southeast for a

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 1>good part of my career. You know, I played in Miami,

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:05.679
<v Speaker 1>I played in Tampa. I played in Greensboro, North Carolina

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was in the minors, and as I just mentioned,

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I played in Raleigh for the Carolina Hurricanes in the league.

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So I know how I know the history of NASCAR.

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I know how passionate the fan base is and how

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.680
<v Speaker 1>passion of the fan base has been. Keep in mind,

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Brad Doherty, as you'd know, had been a voice in

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>NASCAR for years, long after his days in the NBA

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and his days of being Natar heel playing at UNC.

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>But I would say this, I certainly understand what he's

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>going through. I do. I understand it's an isolating feeling

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.199
<v Speaker 1>at times, and he's living his dream. He aspired to

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>be a NASCAR driver, he's become one. He's one of

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the best in the world in his craft. But here's

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>another thing that I do see too. I do see

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>some of his competitors and fellow racers stepping up, and

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.120
<v Speaker 1>some of them have stepped up and supported him, which

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>is great to see. You know, we do have a

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of people of color that do like NASCAR and

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote non traditional fans, like we would have quote

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>unquote non traditional fans for the NHL as well. But

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a tough road when you're one on

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 1>one at times, it can be a very, very tough road.

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But I applaud him for what he's doing. I applaud

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>him for having that courage. I applaud some of his

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 1>fellow drivers for also stepping behind him. And here's the thing, Dan,

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you've had so much success in your career,

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you've been around as long as you have. I always

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>say that sports should be connective tissue, and sports can,

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and typically is when we're at our best, is transcendent.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 1>There's very few things in the world that can transcend

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>like sports, music, art, culture, food, but at the heart

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of all that is people. It's people one on one.

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So whether you're from Murphysboro, whether you're from Greensboro, if

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you're from Talladega, if you're from Tallahassee, that doesn't make

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you any more supreme or any left than anybody else.

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody should be made to feel safe and welcome. Colin Kaepernick.

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he wants to play, And then

0:28:56.080 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>now you have people who are spokespersons who are saying, hey, hey,

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>we should give him a chance. Now, well, nothing's changed

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>with Colin Kaepernick other than the times are changing. I'm

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>wondering about It feels like tokenism to me, Kevin that

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody wanted him. Now let's bring him back, and like,

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>why not last year or the year before. Your thoughts

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>on Kaepernick, what does he have to lose if he

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>comes back? In your opinion, Well, first of all, I think,

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know this too, again just based on your experience.

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I think anytime you're doing something that's unique or that

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been done before, and even if it is

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 1>positive in its spirit, it's not always met with the

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 1>most appreciation. Now look at the Great Jordan MJ. I'm

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>an MJ guy to the poem. Unfortunately, I've had a

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>chance to meet him and playing some of his golf events,

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>but they've banned his sneakers, Like think about that, they've

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>banned the Air Jordan when it first came out. And

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to trivialize this around a sneaker, but

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the sneaker was so transcendent and so was he, and

0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>then that transcended the sports. Think of the different people

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 1>from various backgrounds that grew up loving the sport because

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>of him. So if you look at a guy like

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Colin Kaepernick, it was seen as being rogue. Some people

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>saw it as being extreme. It wasn't well received by

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, and quite frankly, clearly with time.

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes time has a way of reframing the way in

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>which we see in field about things. And I think

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of the case where he's concerned from a

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>perception standpoint, because the atmosphere right now is such that

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 1>we see what's happened, and maybe more people are more

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>at tune and in tune to what's happening. Based on coronavirus,

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>they're able to process the information from the people I've

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 1>spoken to Dan week. See this is crazy week. See

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>we never knew this was happening week. See I played

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>with you. I never knew it was to this extent. Wow,

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. What can I do to help so

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>for Cap now? I think the biggest thing for him,

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and you asked it off the top, a does he

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 1>want to play? If he genuinely wants to play, well,

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>then I always maintained there should be an opportunity for

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:02.040
<v Speaker 1>him to play, because not every single NFL quarterback on

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a roster is better than him right now, and I

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of that lies with whether or not

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>he wants to play. And then from the owner's standpoint,

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>just to continue to be open minded and know that

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>if and when he's a fit for a specific team

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and he can come and make your team better, then

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>why not. I don't look at it as a tokenism.

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I just look at it as an opportunity for people

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to reframe maybe what they thought before. And that's not

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>unique to the owners. We've all had to do that.

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>How much pressure do you think you'd be under if

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you were playing now to take a knee during the anthem?

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd be if it were me, specifically a mockey,

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>for example. Yeah, oh, I think there'd be tons, for sure.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there'd be tons. But I also think that

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>there would be less than there would have been six

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>months ago. For the same reason. You know, given the pandemic,

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people have more capacity to be more empathetic, more compassionate.

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 1>They're not necessary commuting. A lot of people are working

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 1>remotely from home, and I just feel like the human

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>capacity seems to have expanded some and it needs to

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 1>expand a lot more, quite frankly, but I can tell you, Dan,

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>there's so many NHL people, players, coaches, agents, owners. I

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>just had a great conversation with Commissioner Batman this morning,

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but so many different people and fans that I've never

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>met before that are sending messages of support. Yeah. I

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>just wonder in that sport long way. Yeah, I want

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to wonder that sport though, keV if if if you,

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>if you took a knee, I don't know if an

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>African now, ye, less so now than six months ago

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 1>for sure, for that very reason. Yeah, for that very

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It's great to have you on. I appreciate you so

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>much a long time fan. Thanks for having me, Yes,

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Kevin. We appreciate your time. Good luck. That's

<v Speaker 1>coming up. By the way, it's happy twenty third. Food poisoning,

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:35.240
<v Speaker 1>altitude sickness flu game for Michael Jordan just doesn't have

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the same ring. Why not just leave it at the flu.

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I still don't understand that. Just leave it that you

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>had the flu. We were good with that food poisoning.

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I know it sounds a little spionage ish. There said

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>they were trying to they were trying to poison Jordan.

0:33:55.560 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>There flu all right, food poisoning sounded better from the beginning.

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>They tried to poison Jordan and Utah flew and you

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:10.280
<v Speaker 1>know altitude sickness because Air Jordan cannot get altitude sickness.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Bad for the brand, Bad for the brand. Kevin Weeks

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 1>was talking about the NBA banned the first edition of

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Air Jordan because they were black and red. No white.

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's the famous David Letterman line, no white in him,

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>just like the NBA. When Jordan was on the show

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and he was showcasing his original Air Jordan's there this

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 1>damee sports history. What do you have playing? Pretty good? One?

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Dan Johnny vandermere two words VanderMeer, nineteen thirty eight. Since

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a reds pitcher through consecutive no hitters back to back starts,

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:46.399
<v Speaker 1>that seems like a record that won't be broken. We've had,

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we've had a no hitter and then a

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 1>seven or six inning no hitter follow up with the pitcher. Yeah,

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>but that, Almo's pretty sad. It's pretty tough. At age

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.240
<v Speaker 1>forty one, Nolan Ryan in nineteen ninety became the oldest

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>player to throw hitter. It was a sixth of his

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 1>career I think he had one more. Didn't think so.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he had said. Twenty ten Dan, ESPN launched

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>ESPN three D. Remember three D was real popular for

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a minute and a half. Yes, we remember we did.

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Did we do a show in Dallas Super Bowl? We

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:19.759
<v Speaker 1>did one of those in three D? Yeah, that's at

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 1>least one of those. That's where the boss comes in

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, Hey, you gotta help me out here,

0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and I said, I'll help you out you tell me.

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 1>He goes, We're gonna do a three D show, and

0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I go, uh, I don't know how I can help you.

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Just go along with it, all right. It's a three

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:36.759
<v Speaker 1>D show. Five guys sitting motionless talking sports in three D.

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>One of the many ways we've made history on this show. Yes, yes,

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 1>time you got to start exaggerating every movement with your

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>pen or your head or everybody think has to make

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:49.280
<v Speaker 1>it look like it's coming at you. Oh my gosh,

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 1>they're almost in my limit, right, you know what? We

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:54.600
<v Speaker 1>were throwing snowballs, I think, if I'm not mistaken, and

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>we were like throwing the football around and stuff like that.

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember that. I know I've been in colder weather,

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 1>but I've been prepared for that colder weather. I was

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:06.919
<v Speaker 1>not expecting that cold weather in Dallas. That was That's

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.760
<v Speaker 1>what made it even colder. And it was eleven degrees

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 1>when we woke up, and it was it was freezing

0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>rain and sleet and highways were shut down and our

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 1>set was outside, and I remember that I got a

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>heater that you know, supplied a little bit of heat.

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:28.920
<v Speaker 1>We didn't even have jackets. We weren't even ready for

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>any of this, and so we had to go out

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and get jackets and get gear and and that was.

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>That was a tough little week there. And I mean

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 1>we made the most of it, because you guys always do,

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 1>but that was some cold, cold weather. Yeah, Cleven. The

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:46.520
<v Speaker 1>problem was there was six inches of ice underneath our

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:49.799
<v Speaker 1>feet at all time, so you couldn't get a get away. Oh,

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 1>it was so bad. And there was a cab strike

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>so you couldn't get a taxi anywhere, and you had

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 1>to walk. We had to walk everywhere. Yeah, somehow made

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it work. Ed in Kentucky, High Ed, what do you

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:06.359
<v Speaker 1>have for me? Tom? How are you doing? Good? Ed? Hey,

0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I love the show, but I've heard you saying more

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:14.799
<v Speaker 1>than once Zion was forced to go to college. I

0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 1>just I don't get it. I've heard other people say, well,

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 1>he could have gone he could have gone to Europe.

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he couldn't gone to the NBA. Ed, No,

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't forced. But he couldn't go to the NBA.

0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>He he could have gone to Europe, he could have

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 1>gone to Australia, he could have gone to the G League.

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You're right, so he wasn't forced to go to school literally,

0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 1>but he couldn't have gone to the NBA. So what's

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:46.319
<v Speaker 1>your point? And that's it? Yeah, so I know he

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:50.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't literally forced to go to college, but what were

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>his options he got to go to college, he had

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he had to go to college, or he had to

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 1>do something for one year before he went to the NBA.

0:37:57.920 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Apparently make a hell of a lot more money going

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 1>to colleg too, then you would have in the GI League. Yes,

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's a valid point there. I

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 1>thought Ed was going to be like, Hey, I'm glad

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody is mentioning this story because if this was Kentucky

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and but that wasn't the case. Ed wanted me to

0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:18.239
<v Speaker 1>know that nobody's forced to go to college. Polly as

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I say, Zia may have taken a pay cut going

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:21.919
<v Speaker 1>to the Pelican. You look at some of the needs.

0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that. I didn't. I can't say it,

0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and then don't, Well, don't say that, you can't say it.

0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I worked with an analyst who played college football once,

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and this analyst went from college football right to the USFL.

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>And he joked with the room, going, Yeah, the USFO

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was great, but I was making more in college. So

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 1>let me see who did Polly work for one time ago? Well,

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it's USFL. Yeah, he played in the us I could

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.439
<v Speaker 1>probably figure this out, but I shouldn't. The only hint

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:54.320
<v Speaker 1>would be his school was mentioned on the show today,

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:59.759
<v Speaker 1>SMU could be well, we mentioned that. There you go

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>leave it at that. Wait, man, I don't think I

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.239
<v Speaker 1>could tell I don't think it wouldn't be a surprise

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:10.399
<v Speaker 1>if you found out this guy. Well, I know that

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:13.239
<v Speaker 1>there was a guy who was an analyst at the

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Mothership who played in the USFL. This guy's pretty famous guy,

0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 1>famous college football player, pretty pretty famous pro player, and

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:24.640
<v Speaker 1>he went from a college known for not Craig James

0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 1>This day in Sports, Did I hit that Babe Ruth

0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:34.640
<v Speaker 1>did something? Yeah, not denial to that. Yeah, I guess m.

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You didn't even try to hide it. It was just

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it was just blatant. They had a dollar signed through

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:46.640
