Speaker 1: of a you know, Irish dive bar type of guy. Shirts.
Speaker 1: I mean, give me like jeans and a T shirt,
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of like I don't a retro
Speaker 1: T shirt Hartford Whaler's T shirt that I can wear
Speaker 1: around like that's pretty much it. Yeah, Brola, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a little worried about the South beacheon. I don't fit

Speaker 1: like normal things down there, or are we gonna have
Speaker 1: to like kind of club it out by the airport.

Speaker 1: Come check out the live show dan in mia dot com.
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, I was a tremendous transition there by seven conte. Now,
Speaker 1: I just wove that in seamlessly, wove that, in effortless
Speaker 1: woven I lot to get into today. Glad to be here.
Speaker 1: You know, about a week or week to go to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls. We'll talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers, Jimmy Garoppolo, that's some things to say
Speaker 1: our other chiefs, Patrick Mahomes. I do want to talk
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA today though, a lot of things
Speaker 1: they discussed there. The trade deadline is just two weeks away,
Speaker 1: and expect that to be busy. Adrian ward Nowski, the
Speaker 1: senior NBA insider over at ESPN, He's going to join
Speaker 1: us in the second hour to talk about some of
Speaker 1: the potential deals that could be on the table. I
Speaker 1: think we'll see I think we'll see a flurry of activity.
Speaker 1: There are probably six teams right now that you can
Speaker 1: say legitimately have a chance at winning a championship. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to Wolds about that. Zion Williamson made his debut
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, expected to play again Tonight's pretty pretty impressive debut.
Speaker 1: I know you guys talked a little bit about it yesterday,
Speaker 1: but four three pointers for Zion Williamson in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I think if anything that's encouraging, what I want to
Speaker 1: see as much as anything from Zion Williamson is can
Speaker 1: he keep that up? Are we going to see Zion
Speaker 1: as a stretch four type of player, because in today's
Speaker 1: NBA you have to be. You can't exist in the
Speaker 1: league today as a big man without being an effective
Speaker 1: perimeter shooter. And certainly it's a plus you're going to
Speaker 1: be an effective three points here. So we'll talk more
Speaker 1: about that. Wild was down in New Orleans for that
Speaker 1: debut on Wednesday night. Yeah, Paulie, how does it work
Speaker 1: with players like Zion or any players in the league,
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people will plan to
Speaker 1: watch him, especially these first few games, and there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of talks he won't play back to backs,
Speaker 1: they'll manage minutes. Would we know at like mid afternoon today,
Speaker 1: if Zion Williamson is starting or even active, not a
Speaker 1: healthy scratch for the Pelicans, you'd have indications. I think
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's tonight's or tomorrow morning when
Speaker 1: official injury reports come out, but you would have some
Speaker 1: kind of mention about being questionable, probable that type of
Speaker 1: stuff comes out today. The Nuggets Pelicans eight o'clock tonight
Speaker 1: on National TV at seven o'clock. You would know, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: it'd be on social media somewhere. It would be on
Speaker 1: I think they tweeted out from their media account or
Speaker 1: something like that. Nuggets a good game, a good test
Speaker 1: for Zion, an up and down team playing like that.
Speaker 1: I know people are you know, people were upset on
Speaker 1: Wednesday that Alvin Gentry pulled Zion out of that game.
Speaker 1: But come on, the guy's coming off a major knee injury.
Speaker 1: He I mean, the Pelicans if they make the playoffs, great,
Speaker 1: but this season's all about getting Zion all the way
Speaker 1: back and get him completely healthy and being ready to
Speaker 1: go for next season. I mean, it's already a win
Speaker 1: to get him out there on the floor. It's not
Speaker 1: about this year. I know they had playoff aspirations to
Speaker 1: start the season, but you already have Brandon Ingram playing
Speaker 1: all star level basketball. You feel more comfortable now than
Speaker 1: you did three months ago about the prospect of paying
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram big time dollars, maybe max level dollars in
Speaker 1: this offseason. So that's a win. Zion comes back, that's
Speaker 1: a win. So even if you finish in the lottery
Speaker 1: once again, you've got the building blocks in place for
Speaker 1: a run next year. Yeah, Pauly, any chance. Unintentionally and unplanned,
Speaker 1: Zion missing the first half of the season gave Brandon
Speaker 1: Ingram a chance to kind of explode. Be the focal
Speaker 1: point Lonzo ball. People not watching every movie makes because
Speaker 1: Zion's not there, could have been a good thing long
Speaker 1: term for the team. Absolutely, I mean long term, we'll see.
Speaker 1: You got to be concerned long term about the health
Speaker 1: of Zion. We've just never seen a player that plays
Speaker 1: above the rim like Zion with the type of upper
Speaker 1: body weight he puts down on it. So when he
Speaker 1: goes up it all is eventually going to come crashing down.
Speaker 1: And I worry. I know a lot of people around
Speaker 1: the league I talk you worry about the long term
Speaker 1: effects of that. There's only so much you can do.
Speaker 1: There's only so much padding and so much treatment you
Speaker 1: can do that changes or alters the fact that you're
Speaker 1: bringing two hundred and fifty pounds down on that knee.
Speaker 1: So that's something that there's watching, especially this offseason. If
Speaker 1: you're Zion Williamson. I think one of the goals this
Speaker 1: offseason is to slim down considerably. I saw some social
Speaker 1: media stuff, but people surprised that he was the way
Speaker 1: that he was when he came back. It's not like
Speaker 1: you can do a lot of cardio when you have
Speaker 1: a knee problem, so he's limited there. But when you
Speaker 1: get into the offseason, I would imagine that a priority
Speaker 1: for the Pelicans is going to have him slim down
Speaker 1: a little bit and get down to a more managable
Speaker 1: way so it takes away some of the pressure on
Speaker 1: that knee. But Sim'm back in action tonight and if
Speaker 1: the ratings on ESPN or any kind of indicator, he
Speaker 1: is becoming must see TV right away. There's a reason ESPN, TNT,
Speaker 1: all the major outlets were putting him on that or
Speaker 1: putting the Pelicans on national TV early. He is a
Speaker 1: one man ratings machine, will probably continue to be throughout
Speaker 1: the rest of this season and probably his career. NBA
Speaker 1: All Star starters were announced last night. Not a lot
Speaker 1: to quarrel with with the All Stars the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: I was completely fine with how that went. The Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: I'm a big Pascal Siakam guy, but because of the
Speaker 1: number of games he played. I probably would have given
Speaker 1: the nod that Jimmy Butler. I'm a media voter in
Speaker 1: all this, and if you're unfamiliar with how NBA starters
Speaker 1: are chosen, it's divided up. It's twenty five percent of
Speaker 1: the media vote, twenty five percent of the player vote,
Speaker 1: and the fan vote account for fifty percent of the voting.
Speaker 1: So I voted for Jimmy Butler because of all he's
Speaker 1: done for the Heat this season, played terrific all year long.
Speaker 1: The biggest problem I have Trey Young. Trey Young is
Speaker 1: an All Star starter doesn't make a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me. He is a terrific scorer, no question about that,
Speaker 1: averaging close to thirty points per game, but he is
Speaker 1: a minus defender to say the least, and his team
Speaker 1: is not good. They have the second worst record in
Speaker 1: the NBA. They have eleven wins right now. It's not
Speaker 1: to say Trey Young isn't an All Star, but you
Speaker 1: have to stack that up against the other potential starters
Speaker 1: are out there. I voted for Kyle Lowry. Argument against
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry is only he's only played like thirty four games.
Speaker 1: Injuries derailed him early in the season, but he's averaging
Speaker 1: like twenty points. He's a bulldog on both ends of
Speaker 1: the floor. Does that sell? Does that sell in an
Speaker 1: All Star game? It's the All Star Game? And Kyle
Speaker 1: Lowry playing serviceable defense and hitting midrange jumpers, and he's
Speaker 1: a very good player, and he gives you a better
Speaker 1: chance to win. But Trey Young is the guy the
Speaker 1: kids watch and model well they do. But is it
Speaker 1: a celebrity game or a meritocracy? That's the question. Look,
Speaker 1: if you want to say it's just who the fans
Speaker 1: want to play, play great, go back to the fan vote.
Speaker 1: Make that one hundred percent of the voting. At that point,
Speaker 1: Taco Hall might have a chance to get on the
Speaker 1: team all twenty one minutes of games played he's played
Speaker 1: the season. But if you're going to say that it
Speaker 1: should be some form of meritocracy, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you argue with Kyle Lowry being in that position. I
Speaker 1: don't know how you argue Perloff with Ben Simmons being
Speaker 1: in that position. For me, as a voter, I didn't
Speaker 1: even consider Trey Young for that second guard spot. Kemba
Speaker 1: Walker was a lock that was gonna happen. He was
Speaker 1: an immortal lock to that first guard spot. Why why
Speaker 1: do you say that? Because, by the way, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the Sixers fan like worth the real that Kemba
Speaker 1: Walker's the Celtics star be he can't beat us. I
Speaker 1: means he's definitely a better player than him, Like I
Speaker 1: mean the Sixers. I was like, that's what. Finally we
Speaker 1: have the Celtics number this year because Kemba's no problem.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna shoot outside. I mean if they beat
Speaker 1: him three times, you know there are three and oh
Speaker 1: this year. And because it's all things Kemba Walker and
Speaker 1: he's a twenty two point a game score. Come on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you have the Celtic mindset. But I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now there are a lot of players in
Speaker 1: the NBA is scared sickers, and Kemba Walker ain't one
Speaker 1: of them. I'm trying to figure out what this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not against the grade. Look at the numbers. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: is one of the best. When Ben Simmons is ad,
Speaker 1: he's clearly one of the best players in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Doesn't It doesn't matter if he's an All Star or not.
Speaker 1: He's He's a real factor. Here. Well, by definition, an
Speaker 1: All Star is one of the best players NBA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I don't care if Ben Ben
Speaker 1: Timmans just gotta win a title. The All Star Game
Speaker 1: means nothing here. He's like that kind of player. Kemba
Speaker 1: Walker has been a nice player too, had his career.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a four seed this year, go out
Speaker 1: in the third round of the playoffs. Great enjoy He's
Speaker 1: he's like a wonderful guy. I always hear that. But
Speaker 1: it's not like he's like Lebron here, He's like, of course,
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker is a no brainer. What did he scored
Speaker 1: twenty two a game? Are you done? Just now? You
Speaker 1: have scored thirty points a game? Isn't You're all? Start
Speaker 1: of stub? Is this a bizarre world? Like painting Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons as this perfect player when there is one glaring
Speaker 1: spotlight of a flaw in his game. He does not
Speaker 1: shoot from the outside, and that's a major problem for Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Where are they sitting the standings parloff as we speak,
Speaker 1: sixth at the moment of that injuries, Joel, He's played
Speaker 1: thirty one games. It's not like he's missed you know
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving has been injured, Joel Embiid has not been
Speaker 1: He's been banged up periodically. Let's have a bet right now.
Speaker 1: Who gets farther in the playoffs is seventy six series
Speaker 1: over the self? Which is not the argument, like the
Speaker 1: Sixers should because of all the money they spent this
Speaker 1: off season, because they've got two guys that should be
Speaker 1: considered elite at their respective positions. But if you're trying
Speaker 1: to make an argument that Ben Simmons is more deserving
Speaker 1: than Kemba Walker to be a start in the All
Speaker 1: Star team, you want fund a single NBA person that
Speaker 1: agrees with you about that. Maybe not the one deserving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but NBA guys all total group think here. You of
Speaker 1: course you're gonna like a Kemba Walker like I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: like Ben Kemba Walker is so popular amongst you and
Speaker 1: all your NBA writer friends. I'm not even talking about
Speaker 1: NBA writer friends. We don't have a click like I'm
Speaker 1: talking about NBA scouts and executives and coaches. Kemba Walker,
Speaker 1: easy choice right there. You were just talking in the
Speaker 1: presome medium about how the Warriors should try and get Ben.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We'll get to that. That's a
Speaker 1: different thing. Simmons is a fascinating player. He could be great.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is averaging sixteen points, eight and a half assists,
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, leading the league, and steals and a block
Speaker 1: a game. So he's doing everything but shooting from the outside.
Speaker 1: Kemball Walker is averaging twenty two points, five assists, not
Speaker 1: really doing anything else, and he shoots about thirty nine
Speaker 1: percent from three pointer. Yes, he shoots a lot of
Speaker 1: three that's a very good percentage. By the way, he
Speaker 1: doesn't do much else. He's not a high volume passer
Speaker 1: and assists. I'm a big playmaker. No, he's not a
Speaker 1: steels guy. But you're saying like the only thing Simmons
Speaker 1: can't do is shoot, Like that's like other than that,
Speaker 1: Missus Lincoln, how is the play right? It's fair. It's
Speaker 1: a pretty big issue. I'm generally anti Simmons. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to give some stand I'm not anti Simmons at all.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think Simmons is great. I just at
Speaker 1: the start of the season I assumed he would start
Speaker 1: taking like one three pointer, two three pointers. He is
Speaker 1: still the same player when it comes to perimeter shooting.
Speaker 1: And this isn't me talking perloft about it being a problem.
Speaker 1: You listen to Elton Brand, who I sat in front
Speaker 1: of on Christmas Day and said Ben. He said Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons needs to shoot. Brett Brown, the coach of the team,
Speaker 1: has effectively said Ben Simmons needs to shoot. Joel Embiide,
Speaker 1: the others star and the team, has said passive aggressively.
Speaker 1: Some guys need to be I'm paraphrasing here outside their
Speaker 1: comfort zone, which is code for Ben Simmons needs to shoot.
Speaker 1: That's a flaw, a major one in his game. And
Speaker 1: as I'm assessing the All Star roster and who should
Speaker 1: be a starter at that spot, Kyle Lowry has done
Speaker 1: a lot more than not a lot more, done more
Speaker 1: than Ben Simmons, and I think a lot more, frankly
Speaker 1: than Trey Young. Trey Young is a great scorer, but
Speaker 1: I've watched him defensively. There are times when it seems
Speaker 1: like he's indifferent out there on the defensive end. And
Speaker 1: that team, I know they've been banged up by injuries
Speaker 1: the suspension to John Collins, but they have eleven wins.
Speaker 1: So I also factor in the ability to impact winning,
Speaker 1: which Trey Young hasn't done for Atlanta team that overall
Speaker 1: has underachieved this year. Yeah, but then have him in
Speaker 1: the Skills Challenge in the in the thief point, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's done an All Star. He is an
Speaker 1: All Star. Ben Simmons an All Star. You're talking about
Speaker 1: the top ten players in this league. I don't look
Speaker 1: at Trey Young as being a top ten player in
Speaker 1: this league. Is the entertainment factor part of this, by
Speaker 1: the way, like Trey Yeah, we all want to see
Speaker 1: Trey Young on this type of glass. I don't know
Speaker 1: how exactly that matters. No, you know what, where it
Speaker 1: matters and why? What? I wonder if it was a
Speaker 1: factor as people were voting, not necessarily the fan votes,
Speaker 1: because Trey Young was an incredibly entertaining player. He is
Speaker 1: Steph Curry light playing in Atlanta. But narratives matter, right,
Speaker 1: So one of the narratives you're gonna get an All
Speaker 1: Star weekend is oh, look, on one side of the
Speaker 1: ledger is Luca Donchet. On the other side, it's Trey Young.
Speaker 1: The two guys that were swapped for each other undraft night,
Speaker 1: the two guys that are inextricably linked in their careers.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that. Maybe that narrative impacted some of
Speaker 1: the media voting. I'd like to think not, and I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, like I was so torn between Simmons and
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry Matt Crowdshores. Did I put it out there
Speaker 1: to about six or seven NBA types, coaches, scouts, whatever,
Speaker 1: All but one came back with Kyle Lowry. They all
Speaker 1: said Lory impacts winning more is more. It just does
Speaker 1: more for his team right now, on a better team
Speaker 1: right now than Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons, If you're doing
Speaker 1: the which player would I draft or which guy would
Speaker 1: I take the next ten years? Ben Simmons far and
Speaker 1: away great player, But Kyle Lowry for this half season,
Speaker 1: which what it should matter is is what it is.
Speaker 1: So yeah, one last question, would you mix up East
Speaker 1: and West if you could just like just do like
Speaker 1: an all Star team regardless of conference, because it sounded
Speaker 1: like the West has better, something better. Well that's what
Speaker 1: they do, Like they know what I'm saying, Like in
Speaker 1: the voting, like you, Oh yeah, I think you need
Speaker 1: to have a balance in terms of where the players
Speaker 1: come from. Okay, but I like the fact that you
Speaker 1: can mix and match Team Lebron, team Jannis. All that
Speaker 1: good stuff, all right, eight seven seven three d P

Speaker 1: Arguments having early continued, You're in the break by the way,
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry versus Ben Simmons and by the way, just
Speaker 1: quickly parloff. Kyle Lowry's from Philadelphia, so I'm not exactly
Speaker 1: sure like where your allegiances are pivoting too. I love
Speaker 1: him as a dude, but and he's been great in
Speaker 1: the last couple playoffs, but he was famous early in
Speaker 1: his career for struggling in the playoffs. I thought he
Speaker 1: was that guy, and you're talking about a playoff. You know,
Speaker 1: playoff players and clutch players is a big factor of this.
Speaker 1: We're having an argument about this season. By the way,
Speaker 1: this season Kyle Lowry all Star deserving. We'll get back
Speaker 1: to that though a little bit later. I kind of guy.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys get the fifth fight. You have
Speaker 1: to explain the management. What was the fight over. We're
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry's skills as a shooter and pearlsman after me
Speaker 1: all morning I got in. He says, like you were
Speaker 1: in those sneakers? How did I play basketball? The players
Speaker 1: you and me team up against Paul and Seaton somehow
Speaker 1: find a way to lose. And I say, I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get him this time. And you showed up
Speaker 1: where boat shooes, like, how are we going to play
Speaker 1: some hoops here? I can't play against Pauli's cheap shot,
Speaker 1: Like he's just too overly physical for pickup games. You're
Speaker 1: like that guy at the why then I'm not very coordinated,
Speaker 1: so I like bump into people exactly Potentially something that
Speaker 1: caught my eye. Yesterday, Mike Florio Pro Football Talk made
Speaker 1: some news at least took over social media for a minute,
Speaker 1: where at least, according to the aggregations of Mike Florio,
Speaker 1: he suggested that the best strategy for the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers would be to take a cheap shot at Patrick Maholey.
Speaker 1: We knock him out of the game by going low,
Speaker 1: you know, any possible way of getting him out of there.
Speaker 1: So I'll be thinking, what did Mike Florio actually say
Speaker 1: during this that sparked this whole debate, And here's the clip.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be careful here because I'm not
Speaker 1: suggesting that they try to knock him out of the game.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But at a certain point,
Speaker 1: you trade the risk of fifteen yards if you can
Speaker 1: send a message and football is still a physical, violent game.
Speaker 1: If you can hit him, even if it's close to
Speaker 1: the sideline, even if he's maybe started into his slide
Speaker 1: when the championship is riding on it, I think it's
Speaker 1: a different analysis. And yet we may give up fifteen
Speaker 1: yards or half the distance to the goal line. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Peter. If somebody had blown up Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes inside the five. Okay, it goes from the four
Speaker 1: to the two. Big deal. So yet, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that that should be part of the deliberate effort. But
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is riding on it, and if this
Speaker 1: guy's gonna think that he can just run through the
Speaker 1: defense without any physical consequence, they needed to dispel him
Speaker 1: of that notion the first time he tries. I mean,
Speaker 1: he kind of is saying knock him out of the
Speaker 1: game with that comment. I mean it's I'm not saying,
Speaker 1: hit him with a cheap shot, but if you have
Speaker 1: a chance near the sideline, they hit him late, you
Speaker 1: gotta go and take it. That sounds it's not chapter
Speaker 1: in verse, but sounds pretty clear to me. Paul two days.
Speaker 1: Can you play the first five seconds of that clip again.
Speaker 1: I want to be careful here because I'm not suggesting
Speaker 1: that they try to knock him out of the game,
Speaker 1: But then he goes on to completely suggest that they
Speaker 1: try to knock him out of the game when they
Speaker 1: have the opportunity too. So if you think he just like,
Speaker 1: oh the ball, take that one extra step and worry,
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be fined in the game. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna be suspended in the game. It's worth that
Speaker 1: fifteen yarder. So he had suggested they do a little
Speaker 1: extra to take him out of the game. Did Mike
Speaker 1: Florio just put a bounty on Patrick maho I agree
Speaker 1: with Florio saying, though, if the best way to win
Speaker 1: the Super bowls for Patrick Mahomes not to be there.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, don't tell your defensive players that you'll
Speaker 1: give them ten thousand dollars for knocking Patrick Mahomes out
Speaker 1: of the game. But if a check winds up under
Speaker 1: your door on the Monday morning after the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: you know it could happen there. Yeah, for se But
Speaker 1: not only was he saying about the sideline, he also
Speaker 1: said even if he's about to start his slide, he
Speaker 1: threw that word into the two examples where it would
Speaker 1: be borderline illegal to put him out. And if you
Speaker 1: want to win the Super Bowl, Like, that's my other question.
Speaker 1: If you if you put a nice pop in Mahomes,
Speaker 1: I guess if it's legal, it's legal hit. But if
Speaker 1: that happened early in the game and the forty nine winning,
Speaker 1: do you want to have that forever? Yeah, you won,
Speaker 1: but we'll never know what really would have happened because
Speaker 1: Mahomes was playing in the whole game. So you're basically
Speaker 1: saying to take the what was it mo Lewis hit
Speaker 1: true Bledsoe back in the day, to take that kind
Speaker 1: of hit on Patrick Mahomes, if it's there legal, I
Speaker 1: get it, but even quasi legal, Seaton, that's uh that.
Speaker 1: It just sounds like he's saying but he's saying. He's
Speaker 1: not saying, well, I mean he's not even like a lawyer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were like by trade. I'm pretty sure he's a lawyer,
Speaker 1: and like any statement like that would be torn the
Speaker 1: thread rum. Yeah, I'm not saying, but I am saying, well,
Speaker 1: I think he gave himself some wiggle room by saying.
Speaker 1: Look I said at the top of this, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying you go for him and trying to knock him
Speaker 1: out of the game. But if he kind of makes
Speaker 1: himself available, knock with one toe on the sideline, drill him,
Speaker 1: knock him out of the game. He debunks his own preface,
Speaker 1: like he prefaces his him like, oh, you don't do that,
Speaker 1: but but you do if you get the chance. I
Speaker 1: want to be careful here. Uh no, No, you're it
Speaker 1: was like the second string linebacker. You set out there
Speaker 1: just to go out, just lay the batchot balls, bad homes,
Speaker 1: the running back towards the huddle, and you come up
Speaker 1: to him, just nail him. Yeah, for love, I related
Speaker 1: to acting, by the way, like this is such a
Speaker 1: controversial statement by Floyo. Like one hundred years of the
Speaker 1: NFL history. For ninety seven years, this was gospel. You
Speaker 1: take out you killed the expression, you killed the head
Speaker 1: of the dragon, and you kill a team. They've been
Speaker 1: trying to knock out quarterbacks always. Yeah, but illegally. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: a hind thousand percent. Oh my god. Yeah. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: the NFL didn't find to Davion Clowney and they opened
Speaker 1: the door to this. I mean that was I mean
Speaker 1: they took I didn't say it's an Eagles fan, but
Speaker 1: like listen, when they didn't flag to Davion Clowny for
Speaker 1: knocking out wins and they didn't find him, then Floyer
Speaker 1: is absolutely right. Of course you want to take out
Speaker 1: the homes. Yeah, Paul, and I could see what he's
Speaker 1: saying in the first quarter of a game where if
Speaker 1: you get fined for this, the fine doesn't matter. If
Speaker 1: you get suspended. The suspension doesn't matter because it could
Speaker 1: be going in the next season. If this is October,
Speaker 1: you may not take that cheap shot on the quarterback
Speaker 1: because you're not desperately trying to win an October game.
Speaker 1: But the first quarter of the Super Bowl, third down,
Speaker 1: you have a free shot. May not get too many
Speaker 1: free shots. In Mahomes, you may take an extra step.
Speaker 1: Stay if I get the flag, I get the flag,
Speaker 1: and if I knock him out of it, you make it.
Speaker 1: Catch some heat for knocking him out, but ten years
Speaker 1: for now you may have the ring from it. I
Speaker 1: don't think Patrick Mahomes making any appearances on Flora's radio
Speaker 1: show anytime soon. I don't think it's anti Mahomes. I
Speaker 1: think it's like a strategy that you never speak about. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, if they could do this in basketball, they
Speaker 1: do it. They don't really have a cat you can
Speaker 1: do in basketball, but the chief shots in basketball is
Speaker 1: so much more over. There's not that type of collision.
Speaker 1: Oh but let's say you started the seven game playoffs
Speaker 1: in Lebron versus Lebron in his prime, and you could
Speaker 1: take a shot and you knew he may not come
Speaker 1: come back from this would I do it. Yeah, you would,
Speaker 1: because it's seven game series, he's gone, it's over. I
Speaker 1: would argue it's even easier though, to do in basketball.
Speaker 1: You can take a swing at the guy's head. We
Speaker 1: saw it happen recently, flagran elbow, yeah, or even though
Speaker 1: when I forget who just did it, they got fined
Speaker 1: for it. But when a guy goes up for a layup,
Speaker 1: Catavio's call. Will Pope got hit with the Lakers, and
Speaker 1: you take a swing at the guy's head, pretending to
Speaker 1: go for the ball, like, oh, I'm trying to swipe
Speaker 1: at the ball, but it makes contact with the head.
Speaker 1: You can be real physical with guys going to the
Speaker 1: basket and knock them down hard. I think it's even
Speaker 1: easier in borderline not legal, but easier to get away
Speaker 1: with in the NBA. And there's in football, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: But the quarterback position is the one guy in the
Speaker 1: football field who is unprotected. Often during the game, he's
Speaker 1: standing there and you could trip into him. You could
Speaker 1: take one extra step and you may avoid the flag,
Speaker 1: and it's worth the risk. Unprotected but really protected by
Speaker 1: the referees too, So you do have to kind of
Speaker 1: go out there and take a making shot of them
Speaker 1: runner onund the sideline. So all right, that's that's Gloria
Speaker 1: making up putting a bounty on Patrick Holmes. That's something
Speaker 1: worth watching those Super Bowls Sunday. Can we briefly just
Speaker 1: talk about what the nc DOABLEA did this? Mark Emirtt statement,
Speaker 1: I gotta get into this for a second here. Mark Emirtt,
Speaker 1: the head of the ncable A, came out and is
Speaker 1: in discussing the idea of paying players. He had some
Speaker 1: extended comments that I swear to God, PAULI, I've read
Speaker 1: them three times. I still am not exactly sure what
Speaker 1: he's saying with these comments. By yeah, you're just kind
Speaker 1: of reading it in like, but I have a headache.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna move on to something else, and I
Speaker 1: guess maybe we'll forget about all that. But I guess
Speaker 1: what he's saying is that they're going to find a
Speaker 1: way to make it legal for players to cash in
Speaker 1: on their own likeness. That seems to be the trend
Speaker 1: that's the NCAA is going. Is that I'm like reading
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah. Mark Emirates did a State of College
Speaker 1: Sports address at the NSTA Convention on Thursday, and he
Speaker 1: continued to say that the NSA is open to players
Speaker 1: controlling their likenesses and getting paid outside the building for
Speaker 1: hurtain things. This goes back to that lawsuit in California
Speaker 1: that sued to give players a chance to control their likeness.
Speaker 1: The thing here that not a lot of people are
Speaker 1: talking about Mark Emirate's plan or his acceptance of this plan,
Speaker 1: will ensure that the NSA never has to pay players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so, let's say to a Takavalla for the
Speaker 1: for Alabama is on the team. Alabama's not paying him.
Speaker 1: The NSA is not paying him. But if he wants
Speaker 1: to sign autographs at the local mall for ten grand
Speaker 1: a pop, he would be able to do that. What
Speaker 1: that does is gives the illusion that players are being
Speaker 1: paid and the NA gets to keep all the money.
Speaker 1: The networks get to keep all the money, and the
Speaker 1: athletic departments get to keep all the money. So this
Speaker 1: is Mark Emmerth laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 1: If this gets pushed through and people avoid actually sharing
Speaker 1: the pie, I would like to see the NA take
Speaker 1: some of that money and reinvest it into both the
Speaker 1: programs that are making that money and in some of
Speaker 1: the players via the you know this meal cards extended.
Speaker 1: Maybe let them travel. Oh sorry, sorry about that. You
Speaker 1: said take their profits and reinvest it in the players welfare.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. Does that? Oh I am shot?
Speaker 1: Did I make a pun? I thought you were making
Speaker 1: a joke. No, no, no, I'm just saying I'd like
Speaker 1: to see them do that. But in lieu of that,
Speaker 1: I have no problem with this idea in general. I
Speaker 1: know it's it only affects a small amount of players.
Speaker 1: At the same time, there's only a small amount of
Speaker 1: players that are driving this type of revenue. The top
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are driving the revenue, the top wide receivers, maybe
Speaker 1: the top defensive players on some teams are driving this
Speaker 1: type of revenue. I think it just gets really complicated
Speaker 1: when you take that pie, cut out a slice of
Speaker 1: it for players, and then trying to divvy it up
Speaker 1: amongst the number of players, most of whom do not
Speaker 1: have an impact on the overall revenue. And I know
Speaker 1: people hate to hear this, but for a large, a
Speaker 1: vast majority of players playing college sports, the fact that
Speaker 1: they get that free education actually counts for something. It's
Speaker 1: real money. At these private schools and I'll just use
Speaker 1: Boston College an example. You're talking about tuition in excess
Speaker 1: of fifty thousand dollars per year. That's not nothing. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it should be the end all be all,
Speaker 1: But if you are a player that has the ability
Speaker 1: to make money off your likeness, by all means, go
Speaker 1: out there and do it. But the idea that players
Speaker 1: should get like a minimum wage, or there should be
Speaker 1: money distributed amongst each one equally, it just doesn't make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me, Paul, It just don't.
Speaker 1: That doesn't track with me. I look at a couple
Speaker 1: of ways, because the idea of controlling your likeness and
Speaker 1: getting paid to sign autographs is something they should have
Speaker 1: the right to do. If you had that kind of
Speaker 1: star power, you should be able to cash in. And
Speaker 1: there's a process where you fill a paperwork, you pay taxes,
Speaker 1: and the school knows and the NSA knows, do you
Speaker 1: go to the local mall and sign autographs. But let's
Speaker 1: say you play football at Michigan and you're not the quarterback,
Speaker 1: you're the starting tight end, and you're not getting paid anything,
Speaker 1: and no one's offering you anything to sign autographs. I
Speaker 1: would if I were that player, I'd rather have minimum
Speaker 1: wage for my twenty five hours a week working for
Speaker 1: the football team. I worked at the school paper in college.
Speaker 1: I got minimum wage to practice my craft, and our
Speaker 1: school paper made money. We were a profitable school paper
Speaker 1: at Southern Illinois, so I shared in those profits to
Speaker 1: a point. And you know they always say players complaining
Speaker 1: we don't have any money. We don't have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to work during the season, we can't have side jobs.
Speaker 1: If you give them all minimum wage, you share the pie,
Speaker 1: but you cap it. If you're the NSA, you capit.
Speaker 1: If through the schools at minimum wage, to say take
Speaker 1: it or leave it? Did you pay tuition at Southern? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I didn't get a schulish. Would you have rather had
Speaker 1: minimum wage or free tuition? Free tuition? Okay, but I
Speaker 1: know what you're saying. My school my school paper wasn't
Speaker 1: making forty million dollars a year in selling advertisements to
Speaker 1: Pizza Place. Neither's the backup offensive lineman not driving that revenue.
Speaker 1: Michigan football is the backup offensive lineman is driving that
Speaker 1: type of revenue? Or is Jim Harbaugh and the quarterback
Speaker 1: and the stars driving that revenue? How many players run
Speaker 1: an active or in a college football rot for ninety something,
Speaker 1: but for working for the football team, to ask for
Speaker 1: minimum wage seems at the very least fair to get.
Speaker 1: You do get some money, you cannot complain. You don't
Speaker 1: have money to eat on the weekends or travel home
Speaker 1: for your family, and you're sharing in the pie. And
Speaker 1: if d n TA could cap it at minimum wage
Speaker 1: and signed like a twenty year deal, they never have
Speaker 1: to pay any more than that, that would be a score. Yeah, Eden, Plus,
Speaker 1: I don't think and this isn't to diminish anybody's what
Speaker 1: they're doing, right, But the say the sports beat writer
Speaker 1: for the Daily Faverian, you know, his work day doesn't
Speaker 1: look the same as quite even as the backup lineman
Speaker 1: on a team or a practice squad member or something
Speaker 1: like that. The effort and the what they have to
Speaker 1: do on a weekly basis is grossly different. Where one
Speaker 1: guy is standing on the sidelines watching and then writing
Speaker 1: about it and the other guy's actually doing it and
Speaker 1: getting the crap beat out of him every day. Give
Speaker 1: him the minimum wage isn't even that much money, right,
Speaker 1: It's not even that much money. So give him a
Speaker 1: little walking around money. So that then at least you
Speaker 1: can say, if you're still taking that hundred dollar handshake,
Speaker 1: now it's on you, whereas now it's on the system
Speaker 1: where they don't have enough money to just have, you know,
Speaker 1: for their effort. I get the scholarship thing, I get
Speaker 1: a free education. I understand that. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, people still want a little money in
Speaker 1: their pocket, and there's nothing wrong with giving the minimum wage.
Speaker 1: Is the backup kicker working as hard? Is that college reporter? Probably?
Speaker 1: Probably not? Probably How if he's not playing, how's he
Speaker 1: working harder? I mean, I agree with you, Like if
Speaker 1: you have a starting offensive line in the center out
Speaker 1: there going one hundred plus snaps, I get that. The
Speaker 1: backup kicker who's just kind of hanging out there on
Speaker 1: the sideline waiting to see if the first drink kicker
Speaker 1: gets hurt, he's not working as hard. He's potentially putting
Speaker 1: himself at more risk. But I mean, I think that
Speaker 1: we can with the roster that large, we can whittle
Speaker 1: it down to the one guy that's like where told
Speaker 1: you now, nobody gets anything. We can play that game
Speaker 1: if you really want to. But I bet there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of people working for the local school paper that
Speaker 1: don't do that much work, that are probably still getting
Speaker 1: minimum wage. I'm not even sure that does every school
Speaker 1: paper pay out like, I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 1: Pallie did, but I mean he was working for a
Speaker 1: boondoggle out there and Silven Illinois, maybe the Daily Egyptian.
Speaker 1: We were crushing it. We're making money, handed a big
Speaker 1: time revenue, winning awards out coming him there. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that letting players get paid off their own
Speaker 1: likeness is a step in the right direction at least,
Speaker 1: so you make that step first, and then it just
Speaker 1: gets real complicated when you try to figure everything else out.
Speaker 1: Does minimum wage matter that? Like, what are you're paying
Speaker 1: forty hours a week? What are we doing from howny
Speaker 1: hours week? College athletes they're capped at twenty hours of
Speaker 1: practice and then they have travel in game time. So
Speaker 1: let's say it was twenty five hours a week for
Speaker 1: a football player at Michigan and minimum wage, I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. Is Is it it's the federal fifteen dollars, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's four hundred plus dollars a week in college.
Speaker 1: I would have known what to do with four hundred
Speaker 1: dollars a week as far as eating and drinking and
Speaker 1: buying a new pair of shoes or traveling home four
Speaker 1: bucks a week. That's nuts. That's four hundred beers with
Speaker 1: no tip. Federal minimum wage is seven dollars and twenty
Speaker 1: five cents. Okay, so I was way off on that one,
Speaker 1: way off, way off. All right, Well then it's even lower.
Speaker 1: But does that make that much of a difference. Then
Speaker 1: you're talking half that half of what we just talked about.
Speaker 1: So two hundred plus dollars that makes a major difference.
Speaker 1: That's I would say to a college athlete if you
Speaker 1: couldn't use the complaint, um, we're not sharing at all
Speaker 1: in the profits. Now you're not getting your fair wags
Speaker 1: of the profits. But you can't say I can't eat well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a different discussion. I don't think you
Speaker 1: should be. I don't think any college athlete should ever
Speaker 1: be in a position where they can't eat. And that's
Speaker 1: where that whole meal card stuff comes in. We were
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier. Shabaz Napier years ago was talking
Speaker 1: briefly about how we had trouble eating, getting enough, having
Speaker 1: enough money on his meal card on campus at Yukon.
Speaker 1: That should never happen to any college athlete, from the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback on the football team to the fourth string
Speaker 1: diver on the diving team. That should not be the case.
Speaker 1: Us have unlimited food or unlimited meal card deed off.
Speaker 1: I also agree that as part of it, maybe a
Speaker 1: new arrangement, you have built in travel for these guys,
Speaker 1: whether it's twice a year for holidays, they are given
Speaker 1: free tickets to fly with for them and somebody else
Speaker 1: to fly wherever they need to go for the holiday.
Speaker 1: There are things you can do that don't involve paying
Speaker 1: players used when I was in college, I would go
Speaker 1: tell my plasma twice a week for like fifty bucks
Speaker 1: and I've made that last a hell of a long time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that money that minimum wage absolutely and your
Speaker 1: plasma got refused. You know what I mean? Well, they
Speaker 1: did eventually turn off the uh the fountain there. I like, anybuddy,
Speaker 1: you need to chill out. I d THEO. I know
Speaker 1: the both flex once in college, you did? I know
Speaker 1: the both flex ones in college. That's a big ticket item.
Speaker 1: It was. I was a little in talk kidded at
Speaker 1: the time, and then I thought it was a good
Speaker 1: idea to have a workout piece of workout equipment in
Speaker 1: my off campus. That's one of those two AM purchases.
Speaker 1: Not a good thing. And the cod two at the time,
Speaker 1: I think I showed the door. It's like, how much
Speaker 1: did you use it? No? I sent it back. It
Speaker 1: was it doesn't fit in the college person's department. Thank
Speaker 1: you both both Flex. But that was a big thing
Speaker 1: back in the day. Everyone the both Flex all right.

Speaker 1: address DP at Dad Patrick duck coom. Do you have
Speaker 1: any kind of opinion on how to deal with paying
Speaker 1: college athletes. I'd love to hear. We have a difference
Speaker 1: of opinion here on set. I think that paying guys
Speaker 1: for their likeness is enough, especially when you factor in
Speaker 1: the scholarship for so many of these players, and I
Speaker 1: wage something Paul, he suggested, maybe some other ideas are
Speaker 1: out there on the table. Eight seven seven three DP

Speaker 1: The fans don't want it where we may bring it back?
Speaker 1: You didn't ask for it, you didn't want it, but
Speaker 1: it's back back by unpopular demand. Yeah, yes, yes, I'd
Speaker 1: have to get two people to play though, right as teammates. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you have a couple of ringers? I do? Well, Well,
Speaker 1: use that word interesting. I'd like to get Bill Simmons
Speaker 1: on my team as a potential. Is even a game.
Speaker 1: It's got a little bit of game, you know, and
Speaker 1: you gotta have a Boston connection there. Also bring a
Speaker 1: female into the mixed staracoustat Yes, network does my podcast
Speaker 1: a lot the basketball player to Paul very good players.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's probably the best part of on the
Speaker 1: player of the war for most of these games. So wow,
Speaker 1: I'd like to pretty heavy, is it? I mean? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for love, do see Kobe's comment that Diana THROSSI could
Speaker 1: be in the NBA. Now, yeah, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to make of all that. Like, Danas Ross is a
Speaker 1: great women's player, They're the greatest woman's player of all time,
Speaker 1: at least in the discussion. But playing in the NBA, like,
Speaker 1: that's just a that that's a bridge too far for
Speaker 1: me to buy it. That it's just a different level
Speaker 1: of athleticism, a different level. I mean, some of the
Speaker 1: great men's college basketball players don't pay out in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Like think about Jimmer for dead. Oh yeah, how great
Speaker 1: he was in men's college basketball, could not make it
Speaker 1: in the NBA, largely because he couldn't play defense at
Speaker 1: that level. As excellent as Diana Tarassi is, could she
Speaker 1: defend any of the top tier guards in the NBA.
Speaker 1: It's not sexist, it's just sort of pointing out physical facts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no offense to Jimmer, but I might take Diana Tarassi
Speaker 1: and that one on one game. Really, I mean, Jim,
Speaker 1: he was got some game. He she could ball though, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: But are we forgetting how good Jimmer was at BYU?
Speaker 1: Like he was awesome, awesome, awesome, he turned He put
Speaker 1: by U basketball on the map for a long time
Speaker 1: because of how he played out there. And he was
Speaker 1: a lottery pick. So Sacramento Kings, of course, and they
Speaker 1: have a brutal track record of drafting. But uh a
Speaker 1: lottery picking one lest yea pa. But I look at
Speaker 1: someone like Diana Tarassi, and I look at someone like
Speaker 1: Chris Paul who probably can't get rim. He's definitely not fast.
Speaker 1: He hasn't dunked in a decade to his own admission.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like his game is built off playing
Speaker 1: against you, working the angles, working the things like that,
Speaker 1: and which is exactly what a person like Dana Arrossi does.
Speaker 1: She does not. I think there are similar players in
Speaker 1: a weird way. I don't think. Look, I don't believe
Speaker 1: Diana Tarrossi offensively could play at NBA level. I'm sure
Speaker 1: defensively she can not play at NDA level. It's like
Speaker 1: that is what knocked Jimmer Fredette out of the league.
Speaker 1: That's what knocks so many players at that position out
Speaker 1: of the league. They can't defend at NBA level, you
Speaker 1: can't defend, you can't be on the floor, simple as that.
Speaker 1: So I don't know why Kobe said something like that.
Speaker 1: It's kind of apples and orangines when it comes to
Speaker 1: playing at this level. All Right, a little bit of
Speaker 1: college football news at orsern LSU. They've agreed to a
Speaker 1: six year contract extension valued and more than forty two
Speaker 1: million dollars at accord to Bruce Feldman, college football reporter.
Speaker 1: Or z Heron is forty and nine since taking over
Speaker 1: at LSU, when eleven and one in his last twelve
Speaker 1: games against top ten o points. Right, hear news like that,
Speaker 1: I just think about what was USC thinking letting this
Speaker 1: guy go, Like, clearly, look, he's a better fit probably
Speaker 1: at LSU. Like his demeanor, the accent, all those things
Speaker 1: kind of fit into the Louisiana landscape. But this is
Speaker 1: a guy that clearly can recruit, that clearly connects with players,
Speaker 1: that obviously knows how to coach. Based on what we
Speaker 1: saw in the National Championship game, USC right now is fumbling.
Speaker 1: They're looking around wondering, you know, how long is Clay
Speaker 1: Hell can gonna last next year. They brought him back.
Speaker 1: The program internally is a mess. Here. You have that
Speaker 1: orser On now six years, forty two million dollars. I'm honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that's that short. Like these college football contracts,
Speaker 1: they're almost lifetime deals when you get to the same
Speaker 1: level that as Orison is probably has a job at
Speaker 1: LSU for life based on what he did there. USC
Speaker 1: just let him walk away because they didn't think he
Speaker 1: was a USC type of guy. I don't get that, Paulli.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating though what you said earlier. He seems to
Speaker 1: be LSU football. Like if you were going to make
Speaker 1: a movie about Louisiana State football, you would create a
Speaker 1: character who looked and talked and acted like at Oseron,
Speaker 1: and it fits perfectly central casting. He's just kind of
Speaker 1: a cut out of a LSU type coach fixture. So
Speaker 1: it's good for at Ogeron though, I mean after, I
Speaker 1: mean he was pretty broken up about being let go
Speaker 1: by LSU. Lands right on his feet at at like
Speaker 1: a by USA leans rights an LSU when winds up
Speaker 1: getting that sixty year, forty two million dollars deal, right,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo such on this Real Quick Jimmy Garoppolo Quarterbacks
Speaker 1: Everything for forty nine ers, talking about his motivation and
Speaker 1: what's getting him to this point. He had us some
Speaker 1: comments about that recently. Here's what he said. We're a
Speaker 1: really good team, but we're not a great team yet
Speaker 1: and we shouldn't be. We're just now being put together
Speaker 1: in September, and we're a really good audio difficulties a voice.
Speaker 1: He sounds like someone I know, Canno. Can't place it,
Speaker 1: you know, basketball player Los Angeles Lakers, you see in
Speaker 1: New York recently? Did we get that comment live? Was
Speaker 1: that we have a taper quod there taking his talents
Speaker 1: to the Superman stuttering problem to I was right by
Speaker 1: Barkleys last night. Didn't go in though Garroccolo said some
Speaker 1: things we'll get to you in the next hour. Age
