0:42

The Lakers they got one win

0:44

in Denver out of Denver, that series

0:47

not in Denver, but they got closed out

0:49

last night and Lebron

0:51

James was asked about is this the

0:53

last game as a Laker tonight?

0:56

Was there any thought at all that you know this could.

0:58

Have been your last with the Lakers.

1:02

I'm not going to answer that.

1:04

Appreciate it, okay, So son

1:07

to no, not exactly

1:09

a yes either. And you

1:11

got a lot of off season here to

1:13

talk about what you want to do, what you

1:15

can do the draft, what you do

1:17

in the draft, the role that his son plays.

1:21

But I don't see Lebron playing someplace else.

1:24

Yes, don were surprised.

1:25

Lebron wasn't a little more thoroughly or pretended

1:27

to be surly in that situation, like and we just

1:29

lost, and when we've got knocked down in the first round

1:31

by the same game as less than you're asking me in my future

1:34

or that not really his personality.

1:35

I think at his age, you're going to ask that question. Yeah,

1:39

I mean when we say, was

1:42

that a fair question? Okay,

1:44

you don't have to answer, or you can answer it

1:46

in a certain way, but

1:48

I think asking the question that that's

1:51

something that's not off the board.

1:53

Now, how you asked that?

1:55

Have you given any thought to you

1:58

know, have you played your last game as a lake I

2:00

don't think that's out of the question because

2:02

we don't know. He didn't answer it. He didn't

2:04

say no, I'm playing. So

2:07

it becomes a fair question because of his

2:10

answer because he doesn't know.

2:12

And he answered with a smile and he said I appreciate

2:14

it him. He was the exact opposite of

2:16

being annoyed by it.

2:17

But it was Jamal Murray who was the star last

2:19

night down the stretch he had thirty two. And

2:22

here is his head coach, Michael Malone on

2:25

Jamal Murray.

2:26

The kid's a warrior.

2:27

Man.

2:28

I can't say enough good things about Jamal

2:30

Murray.

2:32

The bigger the moment, the kid

2:35

just continues to shine.

2:37

He does. He wants the ball. They

2:39

know that they're in good hands if

2:41

he has the ball. So two of the four

2:44

games Jamal Murray won. Those

2:46

at the Buzzer stat of the Day

2:48

brought to you by panadi America, the official trading

2:50

cards of this program. Good morning, if you're watching

2:52

on Peacock, thank you for allowing us into

2:55

your homes and our radio affiliates

2:57

around the country, numbering over

2:59

four hundred cities. Paul, question for hour

3:02

two is gonna be what seat O'Connor.

3:04

We have big Shot Bob Orie a little bit

3:06

later on this morning.

3:08

Yeah, big shot Bob he rules. Uh what

3:10

a career better signing

3:12

yesterday? Travis kelcey or Jason kelce

3:16

You want to take a guess?

3:18

Uh?

3:18

Yeah, sixty one percent have Jason kelce

3:20

being a huge winner.

3:22

No offense, Travis, no offense.

3:24

However, Yeah, in terms of making a bigger

3:26

splash, ESPN got a good

3:28

deal.

3:28

Yeah they did, yeh.

3:30

Because if you sign Jason,

3:32

then you wonder does that lead to Travis

3:35

as well? So it might be a signing

3:37

that leads to another signing there. But Jason

3:39

Kelcey will be there for Monday Night Countdown.

3:42

Travis says he's going to play at least two more

3:44

years in Kansas City. They announced

3:46

it on the same day.

3:48

Yes, Paul, you asked last hour, has a team

3:50

ever had the non quarterback as the

3:52

most famous person or maybe.

3:54

Co most famous people? But this is a tight end.

3:56

Tight end.

3:58

Gronk wasn't more famous than Britain, not

4:00

at all. But there's they were both

4:02

household names simultaneously.

4:05

That's like one of the few they think of the

4:07

Cowboy When the Cowboys had Michael

4:09

Irvin, Emmett Smith and Troy Aikman Emmett

4:13

that they were like equal fame

4:16

all through equal. They're all great

4:18

at what they did. They were famous for different

4:20

reasons, if you know what I mean.

4:22

Well, Emmett didn't have a personality.

4:24

He was just a spectacular, durable

4:26

player.

4:26

But he's his rushing

4:29

yardage.

4:29

But you didn't go, oh, the Cowboys, Emmit

4:32

I think you think the Cowboys in the Star is

4:35

the star. But but or

4:37

Jimmy Johnson or Jerry Jones. I

4:40

mean, there are very few NFL teams Lawrence

4:42

Taylor. You could have said

4:44

that maybe he was the face of the franchise with

4:47

the Giants over Phil Simms or

4:49

or Bill Parcells, but not

4:52

many times. And you have a tight end who

4:54

is the face of the franchise. You have one

4:57

of the two greatest quarterbacks of all time, but

5:00

the tight end feels like he's the face of the franchise.

5:03

Yes, Ton.

5:04

The only reason I have.

5:05

A problem with that is if you were to sell like a do a promotion

5:07

and say so and so and the team are

5:09

coming to town, it would be Patrick Mahomes and

5:11

the Chiefs, no matter how popular train.

5:14

Would you say, Travis Kelton, the Chiefs are coming.

5:15

Maybe, Well, when you get Travis,

5:19

you get Taylor, so

5:23

he maybe.

5:25

Well that the speculation would

5:28

be there, maybe yeah, yes, Martin.

5:30

But Mahomes is never not mentioned

5:32

when they talk about the Chiefs. True, So

5:35

I think that's Cole You

5:37

know Mount Rushmore faces.

5:38

Okay, well he's in the

5:40

conversation. Let's put it that way. Travis

5:43

Kelcey's in the conversation of being the face

5:45

of that franchise.

5:46

Yes, mart So Mount Rushmore, Chiefs,

5:49

Mahomes, Kelsey, Taylor,

5:52

Andy Reid.

5:55

You're talking about modern day, So Taylor Swift

5:57

goes up on the Mount rush.

5:58

Back of the Chiefs Dynasty, of the chief

6:00

Dynasty. Those are the four heads.

6:04

Okay, you might put Chris Jones

6:06

up there, but sure if

6:09

you want to.

6:11

She's a value pick. Yes, Pauli.

6:13

We do love when there's like a Thursday night promo

6:15

for two teams and the team has a bad

6:17

quarterback situation or it's in flux, like there

6:20

was one last year because if Kenny Pickett was playing

6:22

so bad and I think it was Trubisky

6:24

was maybe in and it's like Patrick

6:28

Mahomes and the Chiefs piece like

6:30

Hayward or TJ.

6:32

Watt was out. Even Yeah.

6:34

Yeah, it's pretty tough where you're like, who

6:36

do we feature? I don't know, Uh, put

6:39

up, put up me and

6:41

Joe Green.

6:42

Yes, And sometimes at a desperation they'll put

6:44

like two or three guys together together that aren't

6:47

together.

6:47

There may be really good, but not any one of them.

6:50

It's like the Giants this year New York Giants,

6:52

Dexter Lawrence, like you're gonna have Danny Dimes

6:55

up there, Yeah, Marv.

6:56

Miles Garrett was legit on one of the boards,

6:59

like Miles Garrett the Cleveland Browns.

7:01

Yeah, coming to town.

7:02

Face Bill Belichick in the New England Patriots.

7:05

Belichick, you're not playing.

7:09

Let's pull question for hour two.

7:11

See, well I got one that I was

7:13

just kicking around myself because we had French toast

7:15

a little earlier. Best meal of the

7:17

day breakfast, lunch or dinner. I

7:19

don't know if I want to blow up the show with that, but

7:21

yeah, we can't.

7:23

We can't go.

7:23

I'm just saying I think breakfast is underappreciated.

7:28

Yeah, it is as an all time great. I'm

7:30

not a breakfast guy. What, No, not at

7:32

all.

7:32

How is it possible? It's just but

7:35

just pile through it, man,

7:38

I don't need it.

7:38

That's my problem with Like if you ever go to

7:40

Italy, not a breakfast culture,

7:43

not at all, not at all. And it's like after

7:45

like we were there for a coping, like can we just get some

7:47

eggs somewhere or something? Now, eggs and bacon. Nothing

7:50

turns out on like a real American breakfast

7:54

snob needter No, not even, but

7:56

like I need some I can't have like a

7:58

little pastry and a quick shot of coffee.

8:00

I want to have some like eggs and bacon and some

8:03

toast.

8:04

Yeah, they don't have a Denny's over there.

8:06

They don't have a diner, not a big diner culture Dante's

8:09

they call it.

8:09

You know, they don't have it over there where

8:11

you can go. I go in there and get me some steak

8:14

and eggs.

8:14

I'm just saying it seems like a hole to me. You guys

8:16

want to go over there and a half years

8:19

we'll open up a diner all

8:21

of a sudden gonna be uh

8:23

you know Italy's guy Fieri.

8:25

Yeah, oh

8:30

uh, okay, so our

8:32

two Wait, let's not go

8:34

with the most important meal of the

8:36

day.

8:36

Okay, not yet, we could have How many years

8:39

does Lebron continue to play?

8:40

One, two, three or more? Huh

8:45

must say two? Yeah, let's say

8:47

two.

8:48

He got a lot of mileage, man, but he

8:50

hasn't had that devastating injury. Like

8:54

you look back on most of these superstars.

8:56

You know, even Jordan what his second year in the league

8:58

and he broke his foot. Tobe with the Achilles.

9:01

I mean just the mile age that you have

9:03

on your body and the way you play.

9:06

I mean.

9:08

Lebron, I mean, he's blown everybody

9:10

away statistically, but I

9:12

think there's if you look at games

9:14

played or minutes played, that's

9:17

where it's.

9:18

Pretty amazing what he's been able to do.

9:20

Yeah, Pauling, just to give you a comparison, Michael

9:22

Jordan played twelve hundred and fifty one games.

9:25

That's regular season, in playoffs, everything. Kobe

9:27

Bryant played one five hundred and sixty

9:29

six total games. Lebron currently

9:32

is at one thousand, seven hundred and eighty three,

9:34

and if you you do

9:36

two more seasons, you're adding one

9:39

hundred and fifty plus the playoff games.

9:41

You know, he's easily at not a lot of playoff

9:43

games.

9:44

No, but you're looking at uh,

9:47

you're looking at eighteen hundred and.

9:49

Sixty Yeah, probably if it's two.

9:51

Yeah, it's a long obviously.

9:53

Robin Cincinnati, Hi, ROBO's on your mind.

9:58

Hey, guys, thanks to take McCall well on

10:01

the Lebron thing. I'm just wondering what

10:03

you think about it. You know, you're talking about how the Lakers

10:05

can improve, What about how a Lebron

10:07

team can improve. I mean, I

10:09

get he's got four titles

10:11

Lebron Centdric Formula's work in the past, but I've

10:13

never really gotten feeling that he's even had rosters

10:16

that have had a true team feel with passing,

10:19

free throwers efficiency, like a

10:21

prime Warriors or Spurs or even Thunder.

10:23

We guess think about that, Well, he's always been a passer.

10:26

I mean, I don't think you could say Lebron

10:28

is selfish. I mean the knock on him

10:30

early in his career was he was too unselfish.

10:35

They get to the line as a team,

10:37

like, it's embarrassing the number of times

10:39

they get to the line as opposed

10:42

to anybody else. It's like there's

10:44

the Lakers and then there is

10:47

Joel Embiid. It

10:50

feels like that that's the disparity.

10:52

It's the Lakers and then Joe ell Embiid and then

10:54

everybody else in the NBA. Joe

10:57

in North Carolina, Hi, Joe, what's on your mind?

11:01

A man, I'm a little disappointed in you. Oh

11:06

you doube.

11:08

No, you got it right. The Ron's always two

11:10

to three steps ahead of everybody. Did

11:12

you miss the point of why he got out of the playoffs so

11:14

early. He needs the rest

11:16

to get ready to defend the in season

11:18

tournament championship.

11:22

They have a banner, Joe, they

11:24

have the in season banner.

11:26

Yes, I forgot about

11:29

that completely.

11:29

How could you forget? That's a slap on?

11:33

Sorry.

11:34

Remember when Barkley was on he said, I'm gonna

11:36

slap somebody if they put that banner up,

11:38

And I'm like, they're probably gonna put up a banner

11:41

the d season Tournament champions.

11:45

Did we make up t shirts the

11:47

Lakers in season Tournament champs? If

11:50

we didn't, we should have.

11:51

I wonder if you could buy him on a Lakers site. They wouldn't put

11:53

those.

11:54

Lucas in Texas. Hey, Lucas, what's

11:56

on your mind?

11:58

Hey? Dan?

11:59

Good morning? There you great Hey,

12:02

with your particular perspective

12:05

in the media, I'd love I'd love your kind

12:07

of thoughts on this. So with you mentioned it last

12:09

hour that this is the first time since like two

12:11

thousand and six that we haven't had Lebron, Steph or

12:13

Katie in the second round, and so it

12:15

really feels like this is a chance for

12:18

someone to kind of, you know, step up and grab

12:20

the mantle of you know, the next space of the NBA,

12:22

whatever you want to call it. It feels

12:24

like Edwards is that guy. But

12:27

I mean, from your like years covering the

12:29

NBA, what is it that actually,

12:31

you know, helps someone take that leap? Is

12:34

is it actually winning a title? Is it like a major

12:36

highlight, big dunk, big play,

12:39

lots of lots of stats. Is it something

12:41

like winning gold medal at the Olympics this year? I

12:43

mean, like, what is it that will really take someone

12:46

from you know, because there have been a million of next

12:48

guy's any hardaway or.

12:49

You know, you got to win.

12:51

You got to win and you

12:54

got to be exciting when you

12:56

win. I mean Tim Duncan won, but

12:59

the knock was that Tim was boring. But

13:02

he did win. So you can win

13:05

and not be elevated

13:07

to a status of all time

13:09

superstar. He's one of the all time greats.

13:11

He's just you know, he's one of those Oh

13:13

yeah, that's right, Tim Duncan. If

13:15

Anthony Edwards would lead Minnesota

13:18

to a title this year, now you could

13:20

stamp him and say that

13:22

guy can be a Jordan like

13:25

player because there's

13:27

star power, charisma. The

13:30

movie that he was in, Hustle, he was

13:32

a star in that it just feels

13:34

like he's right there.

13:37

It's happening right in front of us, and it's happening

13:39

quicker than I think we thought. He

13:41

does have highlights. There's you

13:44

know, hundreds of guys who have highlights,

13:47

but it's having those highlights in a moment

13:49

where you're winning big games. That's

13:52

the most important thing, winning

13:54

the game. And then if you

13:56

do it in a way that you did

13:58

it, there's flair. You hit

14:01

the big shot play, you know, a big

14:03

defensive play like those are the things.

14:05

That's what it comes down to. Star power

14:09

doing it when everybody's watching you do it.

14:12

Yes, Mark, I think Anthony Edwards

14:15

has a chance to do it this round. If

14:17

he thrones the Nuggets, he

14:19

gets into that stratosphere of super

14:22

duperstar, top five player in the NBA.

14:24

If he knocks off Jokis and Murray and the Lakers.

14:26

You got to pay it off. You gotta pay it off.

14:29

I'm not sure if you all Luca went to

14:31

a conference finals, who

14:33

do he beat Clippers? Go

14:36

ahead, but

14:39

you got to pay it off because

14:41

if you win and then people would be like, okay,

14:44

how about this, and then all of a sudden okayc

14:46

knocks you out, then

14:48

what are we gonna say? Wow, that

14:51

was you know, that was exciting, but

14:53

you lost.

14:54

What about a run just to the finals and you just

14:56

beat a Celtic team that's that's better than you.

14:59

That that'll at least put you on stage.

15:02

I mean, you want to at least get there,

15:05

because Jason Tatum's gotten there, and

15:08

what happens it's been a negative.

15:11

We go, oh, you can't

15:13

trust the Celtics even now if

15:15

you say Celtics to the best. I mean I just said,

15:18

there's no way they're not getting to the Eastern

15:20

Conference or the NBA finals,

15:22

like.

15:23

You have to. You

15:25

have to. Now.

15:27

Porzingis got hurt, but Jason

15:29

Tatum almost hurt his reputation by

15:31

getting to the finals because we watched

15:34

him then kind of melt down. We

15:36

want to see what you do when everybody

15:38

else is watching you, and I think

15:41

that's what separates you. I Mean, the thing with

15:43

Jordan is he didn't he didn't lose.

15:46

Joe Montana when he got to the Super Bowl, he didn't

15:48

lose, he didn't throw interceptions.

15:52

Mike never got to a Game seven. I

15:55

mean, Magic had one of the greatest

15:57

close out games of all time. Walt

16:01

Fraser against the Lakers in nineteen seventy

16:04

went for thirty six and nineteen assists

16:06

against Jerry West and the Lakers. All

16:09

of a sudden, you're Clyde Fraser. You

16:12

need those moments where

16:14

you go, oh my god, look

16:17

at this guy.

16:18

Yes, Marv, But I think Anthony

16:20

Edwards, if he has one of those defining

16:22

games against the Nuggets and

16:25

gets to the finals, if he gets to the finals

16:27

and they play hard and he just lose to a Celtis teams,

16:29

that's better than all right, maybe

16:32

super duper star status.

16:35

All those guys that we said, oh, they're the

16:37

next Jordan, how many of those guys won titles.

16:41

Vince Carter didn't. When

16:44

he's the star, Vince didn't.

16:46

Harold Miner didn't.

16:47

Harold Miner didn't, Grant

16:49

Hill did not, and Forny

16:51

Hardaway didn't. Like

16:54

we were waiting for somebody,

16:56

they didn't win. If you win

16:58

a title now, all of a

17:00

sudden, you separated yourself from everybody.

17:03

If Anthony Edwards wins the title this year,

17:06

he has separated himself. Now

17:09

you're in a real, real, real small category

17:12

of all the modern day players.

17:14

Yes, Mark in Minnesota too.

17:17

Yeah.

17:18

I think where you win it is also very important.

17:21

Well, you're a hero the rest of your life. They'll build

17:23

a statue for you if that happens.

17:25

All right, let me take a break. We'll come back.

17:27

I got some information here one

17:29

of my sources talking about Kirk

17:31

Cousins and the Falcons that I think you might

17:34

find interesting. And Roger

17:36

Goodell, he kind of floated

17:38

it out there with the eighteen

17:41

game schedule.

17:42

Then it's going to be nineteen, it's going to be twenty.

17:46

I think we're headed in that direction. I

17:48

don't think it's a question of if, but when. We'll

17:51

take a break back after this. Thanks for listening

Hey, this is Tom Erducci from Fox

18:17

Sports, MLB Network and Sports Illustrated.

18:19

And I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to be around

18:21

to talk a little bit about managerial decisions

18:23

and what may have occurred to the dugout, maybe in the nineteen

18:25

eighties.

18:26

It's the Book of Joe podcast. I can't

18:28

wait for this, Joe.

18:29

We're going to dive into what goes on in the dugout

18:31

and behind the scenes in.

18:32

Major League Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else

18:35

we want to talk about.

18:35

Yeah, well there are no boundaries, right. Listen

18:38

to the Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio

18:40

app, on Apple podcasts or wherever

18:42

you get your podcasts.

18:44

Crowning

18:47

leads it, crown takes it to the basket, reject.

18:50

It has to come out. Something

18:52

happened, something bad

18:54

happened.

18:56

Here is not good. I'll

18:59

never die.

19:02

He's twenty seven, A goo to a halftime? Sure who go

19:04

directly to a rocker room. Chris

19:06

tops porzingis injured his calf.

19:08

I think initially maybe thought it would

19:10

be the achilles, but he walked off

19:12

the floor. You could see the frustration. Celtics

19:15

are up three to one on the Heat in the first round.

19:17

Next game will be on Wednesday,

19:20

probably an MRI. Then figure out

19:22

exactly what porzingis availability

19:24

will be odds to win the

19:27

NBA Championship anybody

19:30

want to take get Marvin, I'll start with you. Odds

19:33

to win the title, the

19:35

Nuggets. The Nuggets are second.

19:38

It's the Boston Celtics. The Celtics,

19:40

yes, seat and you got it, blue Blue Celtics

19:43

and then the Nuggets. Anybody

19:45

want to take a guess who's third? According

19:48

to DraftKings odds to win the title?

19:50

Todd the New York Knickerbocker,

19:52

Nope, Paul Pacers,

20:00

No, Timberwolves, Leokse

20:03

Thunder, Oh yeah, then the Timberwolves,

20:05

then the Knicks, then the MAVs. Pacers

20:09

didn't make the board.

20:10

No they did. That's according to DraftKings.

20:14

All right, let me.

20:15

See so Robert Ory, big shot Bob will join

20:18

us. He covers the Lakers for Spectrum

20:20

Sports. Now he'll join us a little bit later on. You

20:22

got games coming up tonight, seventy six Ers

20:24

and the Knicks. Magic at the Calves

20:27

and the Pacers at the Bucks.

20:29

Uh. Chris in Texas, Good morning, Chris, what's

20:31

on your mind?

20:33

Hey?

20:33

Dan?

20:33

Six two two seventy five?

20:35

Soft soft.

20:38

Dan?

20:39

Last night the Nuggets were absolutely insane.

20:41

I love watching Jokic and Murray. I

20:44

thought it was insane. Maybe Wonder

20:46

and ask the question, who is the who

20:49

is the combination that you've seen like a Jokich and

20:51

Murray, what they do they have Foco Porter

20:53

Junior as well. It's just he's a great asset

20:55

for them. But those three, I mean, Jokic with three minutes

20:57

left is sprinting, doing a full court sprint down

20:59

the court, doing the fast break. Who

21:01

have you seen like that? Who

21:04

does it remind you of?

21:05

Well, there's nobody like Joker in

21:07

the history of the sport. Like it's hard

21:10

to create something we've never

21:12

seen in the NBA, Like Steph

21:14

Curry created something we had never seen before.

21:17

Magic created something we had never seen

21:19

before. Mike created something we

21:21

had never seen before. Dirk Novitzky

21:23

created something we had never seen before.

21:27

It's rare.

21:27

It's hard to do something and where

21:30

you go, nobody's ever seen that before, and

21:32

we haven't seen that. You know, Jamal Murray

21:35

coming back from an injury, never

21:37

been an All Star. But every year

21:39

it feels like in the last couple of years, we

21:41

go, damn, he's clutch. But

21:43

then we don't talk about Jamal Murray the rest

21:45

of the year. It's just in the postseason,

21:48

which is a tribute to him. It's like Vinnie Johnson

21:50

with the Pistons.

21:52

It was like.

21:54

He's hitting a big shot after a big shot. You know,

21:56

certain players they get that moment,

21:58

like Robert Dorry, where you don't

22:00

talk about him during the regular season.

22:02

You get to the.

22:03

Postseason, you're like, man, he's clutch. Yeh sparn

22:06

kind of like Jimmy Butler in a sense. Yeah,

22:08

we don't talk about him all year, Yeah until

22:10

May.

22:11

Yeah.

22:11

You know when you talk about injuries here with

22:13

achilles injuries, and you know porzingis

22:16

right now, appears it's just a calf. And

22:19

sometimes what happens if you've ever suffered

22:21

an injury, a lot of times you don't go, oh

22:24

my god, that's so painful. It's

22:27

guys who have an achilles injury they

22:30

think they got kicked in the back of their ankle,

22:33

back of their leg, Like the god, what was that?

22:35

Because your achille just rolls up your leg.

22:38

We've seen that happen to Durant, certainly Rodgers

22:41

when Rogers Aaron Rodgers got hurt,

22:43

he just sat there, but he knew that

22:46

it was serious.

22:47

Kobe when he sat.

22:48

Down, he was on the floor and

22:51

he was like, oh, I'm

22:53

shooting these free throws. But he knew in

22:55

the moment, like there's certain injuries

22:57

that you go that's trouble, but

23:00

not all the injuries hurt when you when

23:02

you suffer them, you know what

23:04

it is like your body, you're well

23:06

aware it's like, wow, that hurts, or

23:09

that's that's something serious.

23:12

But with Porzingis, it's

23:14

like, and you know he's had injuries throughout his

23:16

career, but you know, all of a sudden,

23:19

now do you shut him down? Can you

23:21

you know you're going to get through to the next round

23:23

here, You're eventually going to need him, Yeah,

23:25

Pauling.

23:26

I went back and looked at Kevin Durant's achilles

23:28

tear. He's doing a light crossover

23:31

on a player on a very generic play.

23:33

He barely even makes a hard move and he just starts

23:35

going. He looks back like like someone threw

23:37

something at him. He goes like this, and then he goes down. He's

23:40

like and then he has this look at his face like, oh, I

23:42

know what's going on, and everyone else is like, what's happening

23:44

here because you couldn't see anything.

23:45

Well, the achilles is unlike anything

23:48

that you know anybody's going to suffer men.

23:51

I've said this before.

23:52

I was playing in a pickup game in Denver

23:55

and a guy was on the floor with us and you

23:57

could hear both achilles

23:59

pop and that was the sound

24:02

and he went down like he was shot.

24:04

And I was like, you

24:06

know what happened.

24:08

I'd never been around somebody who had their achilles

24:10

go and both

24:12

of his went at the same time, and

24:15

I'm like, whoa, It's weird how that can

24:17

happen.

24:19

So yeah, yeah, right, They're like they're not linked.

24:21

No, it's not like one makes the other one weaker

24:24

or stronger.

24:25

And it wasn't like he was iverson on the

24:27

floor breaking people's ankles.

24:29

Here.

24:29

It's like, oh my god, do you see what happened to Moe

24:32

Boom Boom? That happened to my

24:34

gym teacher when I was in high school. A dude

24:36

who should not have been playing basketball

24:38

as aggressively as he was paid

24:41

the price for that because he snapped both of his at the

24:43

same time, and he I've never seen anyone

24:46

in that much pain in my entire life.

24:48

Yeah, certain injuries, certain

24:50

time.

24:51

A lot of times you'll find older guys

24:53

when they're out there playing tennis or pickleball

24:56

or maybe basketball softball.

24:58

You're going to take the extra base there.

25:00

Oh, I'm gonna leg it out now. No, no,

25:02

no, no, Jim, Jim, Jim. Just don't. Don't,

25:04

don't, don't, don't.

25:08

Some football news Roger Goodell pumped

25:11

up the eighteen game schedule and

25:14

nobody is surprised. And you

25:16

know this is a plan. It's not like

25:18

somebody's gonna add you know, McAfee's not gonna

25:20

ask the commissioner where he goes. You know, I hadn't

25:22

even thought of an eighteen game schedule. Hmmm, I

25:24

don't know what do you think? Like?

25:27

These are all these been discussed for a

25:29

while, and of course they're gonna have

25:31

eighteen games, and then there's

25:33

gonna be a push for nineteen, and there will

25:35

be a push for twenty. It's just gonna

25:37

happen. And the number of games are going to be

25:39

played outside the United States. Well, now

25:41

you feel like you have a couple of games to play

25:44

with with each team, or at least one. And

25:46

now you're saying to these teams, pick

25:49

a country that that can

25:51

be your fan base. You're the official

25:53

football team of Brazil.

25:57

You're the official team of London, like Jacksonville's

26:00

laid claim too, or Mexico

26:03

City. This is what the NFL. They

26:05

want to globalize this. Well,

26:07

you're not going to have a team in another country, at

26:10

least this is what i'm told. So this is

26:12

the best way of doing that. That that's your

26:15

team. Now we sell more merchandise. Now

26:17

all of a sudden, we globalize

26:19

this because that's what the NBA did. The

26:22

NFL wants to do this. I mean they tried

26:24

the World Football League, and

26:27

while it was enjoyable to be able to

26:29

see some of these cities, it just didn't

26:31

catch on. But now you have

26:33

a chance to say the Eagles and the

26:35

Packers are going to play here, and

26:38

the Eagles want to lay claim to

26:39

this city.

26:41

Yeah, Poem Roger Goodell is very smart in how

26:43

he presents it. A McAfee's show, he didn't say

26:45

I'm in favor of an eighteen game schedule. He actually

26:47

said, quote, I think we're good at seventeen now,

26:50

but we were looking at everything. I like

26:52

the fans. I'm not a big fan of the preseason,

26:54

and I'd be fine if people wanted to replace a preseason

26:57

game with the eighteen game.

26:58

It's almost like he's.

26:58

Taking it off him and saying, I

27:01

won't want the crowd wants.

27:02

I want, saying this for years that

27:04

get rid of the posts, preseason,

27:07

cut it down to two games, and

27:09

then to know the owners, they want to have four,

27:11

they want to have five.

27:12

You know they wanted revenue. I

27:15

get it, Well, do I.

27:16

Want preseason revenue or do I want

27:19

regular season revenue? I'll take regular

27:21

season revenue. And they're going to go to eighteen

27:23

games and they're going to

27:26

back up the Super Bowl. We talked about that as

27:28

well. You can do it and

27:30

you're gonna have a three day weekend. All

27:33

of this stuff that this has already

27:35

been decided. It's just when

27:38

do you make it public that

27:40

you're going to do this? Hey,

27:43

then you then you got to talk to the NFLPA, and

27:46

then they they're going to say, hey, what do you want?

27:48

What do you want? How about this?

27:50

How about instead of a fifty three man roster,

27:52

how about you have a fifty seven

27:55

man roster. How About we have an

27:57

extra quarterback. How About

27:59

we have an extra offensive player, an

28:01

extra defensive player, an ext special

28:04

teams player.

28:05

How about that?

28:06

Or maybe just a wild card position there

28:09

this way, you create four more jobs,

28:12

you give a little bit more depth because you're going

28:14

to have injuries. We had over sixty

28:17

quarterbacks start last year. Throw a pass,

28:19

so then you get more paychecks, more people

28:22

getting paychecks, and it might be a win

28:24

win situation. But this is going to

28:26

happen. It's not a question of if.

28:28

But when I mentioned this about having

28:31

some information a source telling me

28:33

about Kirk Cousins, Now

28:36

this is somebody who loved Michael

28:38

Pennix. He was the person

28:40

who told me, Hey, Pennis is going up,

28:43

and the same guy who said Mahomes

28:45

was going up years ago, same guy who told

28:47

me Baker Mayfield was going number one overall.

28:50

So he's got a track record of knowing what

28:52

he's talking about. He said,

28:55

Michael Pennix will get first team reps

28:58

all spring through OTA's mini

29:00

cams. His arm talent

29:02

will be on display. That will be hard

29:04

to ignore for the Falcon players

29:07

who won't be comfortable with

29:13

Kirk Cousins, so he

29:15

called him Casey won't be comfortable.

29:17

It won't be comfortable for Kirk

29:19

Cousins. So imagine that, and

29:21

nobody's brought that up. They're

29:24

going to see Michael Pennix throughout

29:26

the summer because Kirk is still mending

29:28

from achilles surgery and they're

29:30

going to see this and then they're going to go, oh,

29:33

my god, and that guy's not going to play for a couple

29:35

of years. How

29:37

awkward is that going to be? So

29:40

Pennix will be there taking first team reps.

29:43

They're going to see the talent that he has,

29:45

the arm strength that he has, and

29:47

then Kirk has to come back

29:49

and then he'll be your starting quarterback. Also,

29:52

my source said, you know, it's weird for

29:54

a team that's going to get in trouble

29:56

for tampering with Kirk Cousins. They wanted

29:58

Kirk Cousins so bad they

30:01

might get dinged for tampering, and

30:04

then they fell in love with Michael Pennix. So,

30:08

as my source said, how does that happen?

30:11

You want Kirk Cousins so badly, you're

30:13

probably gonna lose a first round draft pick

30:16

because you tampered with Kirk

30:18

Cousins, and then you decided

30:20

that you want to go all in on Michael Pennix for

30:22

the future. And then my source

30:24

said, this will be two years Kirk Cousins

30:27

best case scenario in his opinion will be

30:29

two years and that'll be it.

30:32

Now they'll have to eat some of that. Or maybe he's a backup

30:34

quarterback, but he thinks Michael Pennix

30:37

will be the starting quarterback in the

30:39

year three in the NFL. So just

30:42

some of the things that maybe you didn't think about, nobody

30:45

else did. But hey, we love this guy

30:47

so much. We're gonna tamper, we're gonna

30:49

get we're gonna lose a draft pick or two.

30:52

Oh man, we really love Michael Pennox junior.

30:54

And then the fact that he's gonna take all those first team

30:57

reps and everybody's gonna see this, and

30:59

it's it's like when Justin Herbert

31:02

when we saw him on hard Knocks, and

31:04

when veterans start to turn around

31:07

and watch a rookie and they're watching

31:09

Justin Herbert and you could see where

31:11

they're going. Damn right,

31:14

Kirk Cousin's going to be in a cart

31:16

and Michael Pennock's going to be firing the ball all

31:18

over the field and everybody's gonna

31:20

be like, all right, Michael, man, you're killing love

31:22

you, Michael, yeah, man.

31:24

And then Kirk's over there and going, hey,

31:28

hey, good job.

31:29

Mike, Yes, smart, you know

31:31

what I changed my answer. I do want the Falcons

31:34

to be on hard knocks. Can you imagine

31:36

the wide receiver miked up Drake London me and going,

31:38

oh my god, if Pennix was in

31:40

this.

31:40

Game right now?

31:42

Yeah, yes, yes, Seaton.

31:43

The Falcons are sounding like

31:46

like they just fall in love with who's in front

31:48

of them, like if you like my son, and I

31:50

will. After the NFL

31:53

Draft, we always go back and see who the Patriots got, and

31:55

we watch highlight videos of who

31:57

they got, and it's like, what we got, you know, on

32:00

Baker, this dude's gonna be like the best wide

32:02

receiver in the league, or what the hell do we need

32:04

Drake May for?

32:05

When we got Joe Milton.

32:06

Joe Milton's waving, you know, like you just

32:08

fall in love with whoever you're seeing and then you

32:10

never actually get to see them play because it was like a sixth

32:13

round tight end that's never gonna get

32:15

off the practice squad.

32:16

There there is no way Michael Pennox

32:18

has to wait four years to play. It just

32:20

doesn't like do you want to be great

32:23

now or try to be great

32:25

now? Or do you sort of want to be

32:27

good now and make sure that

32:30

you're sort of good down the road, because

32:32

it feels like the Falcons were trying to play

32:34

both ends. Hey, we can

32:36

win this division. Okay,

32:39

the guy who you drafted eighth overall

32:41

doesn't help you unless Kirk Cousins

32:43

gets injured and down

32:46

the road when Kirk's gone, Okay, you got

32:48

your quarterback. But are

32:51

you gonna be kind of good? They're

32:54

they're they're kind of good this year. I

32:57

think you you aspire

32:59

to be great in the division. You could

33:01

win, host a first

33:03

round playoff game. Who

33:06

knows, ask

33:09

the Packers and go on the road beat

33:11

the Cowboys. Never

33:14

never, you know, go into

33:16

a season where you go, you know, our

33:18

goal is to kind of win the division.

33:21

Now it's hey, we're

33:23

going to win the division.

33:24

We're going to host a playoff game, and

33:26

I could see us going to the NFC title game. You

33:29

have to have aspirations, I

33:31

would think. But with the Falcons,

33:34

feels like they're trying to do both. We're kind of

34:00

ball pressure as nineteen points in Game four

34:02

gets the tort pick started, I McCollum on

34:04

the switch to We'll face on with the step, laz

34:06

and up and lays at home as he weaved inside,

34:08

snaking his way for the deuce.

34:10

Give him twenty one.

34:10

Tonight Shay gilgis

34:13

Alexander thunderbeat the Pelicans

34:15

sweep their first round series, and

34:17

they did it with defense. Pelicans

34:21

didn't score more than ninety two points

34:23

in those four games. OKSEE

34:26

is a team that you really have to watch. You

34:29

can't watch the highlights and figure out who

34:31

they are. Good team, deep

34:33

team, young team. And I was

34:35

wondering, you know, when it comes to that

34:38

experience or lack thereof OKC or

34:41

Minnesota, you know the

34:43

team that has the best chance to knock off Denver.

34:46

I would say Minnesota.

34:47

They feel and you've got

34:49

a couple of experienced players

34:51

there not necessarily experience going deep

34:53

into the playoffs, but with Karl

34:56

Anthony Towns Rudy Gobert have

34:58

a little bit more experience there. Uh

35:01

but okay, see fun to watch as

35:04

long as Shay gilgis and uh

35:07

and chet don't sing. I'm

35:09

fine with that. You know that that

35:11

commercial and they play it so often.

35:14

Sometimes when a commercial is bad, it's

35:16

okay, you can tolerate it. But when

35:19

it gets played a lot and you're like, oh no,

35:22

and then all of a sudden, I'm mad at at and T for

35:24

no other reason, Then how'd you allow this to happen?

35:28

Chet holmgrun in SGA

35:31

doing their singing? Uh, you know, A little

35:33

flat?

35:33

A little flat? Do we have

35:35

it? Marvin?

35:37

No, why don't you sing it? Don't you what

35:40

a pro want?

35:44

Okay?

35:45

Is it bad on purpose or is it bad?

35:48

I think they salvaged it with the last line

35:51

by SGA where he says it's a little flat.

35:53

I think they probably thought most people

35:55

think they can sing. I

35:58

think most people feel like, you know, hey, listen

36:00

to this.

36:01

Why does the commercial annoy people so much because it's

36:03

universally disliked?

36:06

Well, I don't think they know who these guys are to

36:08

begin with.

36:11

No.

36:11

I mean it's true.

36:13

It's like if Gronk

36:15

was singing that, we'd be like, all right,

36:17

Gronk is bad, But it

36:20

would be more entertaining because we would

36:22

know, oh, that's Gronk and he's being

36:24

a goofball like Chad Holmgren

36:26

looks like Abe Lincoln, you know Rangier?

36:30

Yes, yes, yes,

36:33

Marvin.

36:34

Should they have done it with their jerseys on?

36:36

Yes?

36:38

That would have helped. It would have been weird though, going

36:41

out to the team boss. But

36:43

if you had your warm ups on, maybe

36:46

and we took a shot from

36:48

behind and got your names.

36:49

And people would be like, why didn't they get real basketball players

36:51

to do it instead of these actors get Lebron

36:54

James and Steph Curry?

36:55

Do you have some of it? Marvin?

36:58

And I'm baker fun

37:00

knowing exactly what ifro

37:03

wants, what a prone needs.

37:05

Whatever makes me happy, says

37:08

me, free good,

37:10

a little bit slap. We'll get better at providers.

37:15

Who I'm bothered by it? But

37:17

why does it bother people? Because it's average

37:19

below? Ever, singing has nothing to do with cell

37:21

phones?

37:22

Well, first of all, I don't even know what they're singing. I don't know either.

37:26

So they're singing a song I don't even know what it is and

37:29

what time I've heard.

37:30

That song before.

37:31

I have to check out who singing.

37:32

I was like, what a girl wants, what a girl

37:34

needs?

37:34

Ye, so I don't even know what they're singing.

37:37

And at first I was like, that's

37:39

Chad Holmgren. I mean, I know

37:41

they're trying to get you know, Shay gilgis

37:44

some national publicity. Is

37:47

that Christina Aguileraton you

37:49

that would not be in your wheelhouse other than

37:51

she's good looking.

37:52

I do see Christina.

37:53

That may be a remake though I thought that was an older song, but

37:56

I see Christina Aguilera for that.

37:57

Well, it is a remake from what they were doing when

37:59

they were singing it. But no, it's

38:01

not, I don't know, not

38:04

clever.

38:05

Like your first national ad, and it drives people

38:07

crazy people

38:11

it's on all the time. I've seen it four times.

38:13

That's part of the problem though, too, where

38:16

if you have the novelty of it and then you're

38:18

like, oh, okay, they should

38:20

have font to put their names. Chad Holmegroun

38:22

and Shay Gilgus. Alexander Staut

38:27

of the Day Brought to you by a Penny America the official.

Trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.

38:31

Okay, but how many commercials are bad? Like

38:34

Gronk?

38:37

Exactly what

38:42

makes me heavy?

38:44

Says me?

38:44

Free?

38:46

Can it border on? Can

38:48

you border on catchy?

38:51

Like Gron's commercials are silly, but

38:55

it's Gronk, so we sort of accept that they're

38:57

not good. But it's like and

39:00

he's still trying to get insurance and bothted.

39:03

The tennis one, I thought I meant your serf,

39:06

Oh.

39:07

I thought you that.

39:08

I thirve Yes, there's

39:11

a fine line between cringey and catchy.

39:13

And with that one, because it's played so much,

39:16

even though it's meant to be bad, with that throwaway

39:18

line at the end, you know that, you know we need to work on it.

39:20

Okay, but.

39:24

Patrick Mahomes commercials, how

39:26

about the subway commercials? Are

39:28

those like I'm only entertained

39:30

by hearing Barkley try to cram as many words

39:33

as possible into like

39:35

he's got thirty seconds of copy

39:37

and he's got to get it into eighteen seconds

39:40

and he's just reading as fast as

39:42

he can. Those are kind of

39:44

coin What about the State Farm?

39:46

Lightly fun?

39:47

Okay? Yeah, Paul, I.

39:49

Love the subway commercial that they signed up

39:51

Tom Brady. Everyone knows that

39:54

he's never eaten subway, would never eat so but I'll

39:56

take the money to do the commercial. I almost respect it,

39:59

weirdly like, but they use Tom

40:01

Brady like everyone knows he doesn't need it, so let's put him

40:03

in the ad.

40:04

But is it? Is there a great commercial

40:07

involving athletes?

40:08

Now?

40:08

Yeah? Mark?

40:09

What about Nationwide is on your side

40:15

and not Peyton Manning?

40:16

Yeah?

40:16

I mean they yeah, they had

40:18

some legs, had some legs.

40:22

I can't think of that's it.

40:25

And I'm thinking, you.

40:30

Promly exactly

40:37

what

40:38

whatever?

40:44

Say it is?

40:44

It's a flat it's flat singing

40:47

flat. Yeah, it's a little flat, but we'll we'll

40:49

get it.

40:49

That's the joke. Do you think they were actually trying to

40:51

sing? Well?

40:52

No, well, I don't think that they

40:54

could sing better than that.

40:56

Okay, so they

40:59

were trying.

41:00

Yeah, I think that they're I don't think they went in it and go, yeah,

41:02

you know, these guys are PAVROTI but I

41:04

want you guys to dumb it down a little bit, you know, I

41:06

don't want you to sing well, yes,

41:10

Mark.

41:10

My favorite part is they dap each other up afterwards

41:13

like you know, we killed it.

41:15

Yeah check kinda is like what he's got his hand

41:17

on?

41:17

Yeah?

41:18

Killing this right now? Yeah? Okay?

41:22

Is there a follow up this?

41:25

Do they do one postseason?

41:28

We're Christina Aguilera, Well,

41:30

they can't do that to her.

41:32

That seems to mean spirited.
