Hour 2 - Sal Paolantonio, NBA Trade News

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

It's our two.

On this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan at Dan Patrick Show come on in stay a while. South pal Antonio for the Mothership will stop by. We'll talk about Andy Reid's future, also Travis Kelsey's future, and who could benefit the most from winning a Super Bowl. If I said, Patrick mahomes, Andy Reid, Jalen Hurds slash Nick Siriani. So we'll talk to South Pal Coming up. Jim Harbau will join us next hour on the program. Stat of the Day is always brought to you by Panini America, the

It's a special week at super Bowl Week.

Every day's is super Bowl on this show, and the folks at Treger feel the same way. So Chad and Julie are here from Tregor and it's a meet Wednesday. I went out and checked out the menu. Here they got wings, ribs, burnt ends, sliders, hot dogs, meat balls, poppers, kettle corn, check mix, pizza poppers, chocolate cupcakes, and loaded tater tots.

Who has it better than we do?

Nobody?

Yeah, all right. Pull question for hour two is gonna be on seton Well, we just got this suggestion from Gary on social media. Pull question idea Fritzy's ideas is that a Bennet or a ben Yenno.

Todd do you want to explain that.

I think that they should call each fifteen minute period during Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans the French Quarters.

Okay, I'm just putting it, by the way, not just the one that one specific idea, but a blanket idea over Todd's ideas in general, Bennet or.

Ben Yanno.

Ben trade deadline is tomorrow and the DraftKings odds Joseph n Kitsch is He's tied right now with Jimmy Butler. Those are the odds on favorites to be traded by tomorrow's trade deadline. We'll get to phone calls coming up. By the way, we're talking about Kevin Durant if he goes so, how many teams will retire his jersey and he's up there. His odds are pretty good that he'll be traded as well and followed by Jimmy Butler.

He's got the best odds right now.

But you got Durant with Seattle LOKC, you got Durant with Golden State, Brooklyn, Phoenix. So he's going to get three jersey retires, you think so, Marvar too?

Okay, just got this.

Shack has his jersey retired by three teams, the Lakers, the Magic and the Heat.

Well they did win a championship with them. He should have won MVP there. Oh, okay, one of those Nash MVPs with Shacks. Okay, well I agree that, yes, Jack deserve one of those. But okay, so Shack is up there with Wilt the only guys to have three jerseys retired three different friends. The Celtics did retire shacks jersey.

That's one of those where when you're looking at the end of somebody's career and you're going, oh, I forgot the Celtics years or was it the Celtic year? Yes, PAULI do you think that.

Shack is overrated, underrated or properly rated his playing career. M Stay with me for a second, because, like I think Barkley's playing career is underrated because he's such a personality, underrated as a power forward.

I think Shack might be lightly underrated.

Historically because of his or his presence, but his actual game and dominance.

Yes, Bara, I got to disagree because he's always referred to as the most dominant center ever when it's the most blank ever. I don't think you're underrated, Chuck. Yes, the fact that he was undersized and overweight and was dominating on the boards no offense.

No, I guess you're allowed to say that.

Now we've done that to Luca and Zion, so I guess you can have a call back there with Charles being over overweight. Yes, yeah, I don't know if Shaquille is overrated or underrated, but you can point to one specific way to stop him or to make him ineffective in the game, and that is like a negative.

You know, if you just get.

Him to the foul line, he's not gonna You took him out of the game. Well, that was his kryptonite. It was Wilt's kryptonite, terrible free throw shooter. Yes, Tom, but I agree.

With Paulie as far as underrated because a lot of people see someone that big.

Like if I was that big or anybody can do that. If you're that big and strong, you should be unstoppable.

And that takes away from some of his actual abilities as a basketball player.

It takes a little more than just being a big guy to.

Do what he did.

Yes, Mark, but no, Benjamin was the same size as Shaq, but he wasn't doing with Shaq. Was Nley Roberts right, Kevin Dunkworth good player, but he wasn't Shack.

Yeah, well, Yao Ming was the only guy who was bigger than Shaq, which is amazing though significantly. Yes, when you're around Yao Ming, like you're around Shack, and you go, there's nobody bigger in the world. And then you see Yao Ming and you go, damn, he is a lot bigger than Shaq. Yes, Paul, who's first ten years?

Would you want if you were a franchise Shaquille O'Neil or Jakim Olajuan.

Well, I love the King Shoo the Keem's my favorite center. I love a Kim Olaju one. I mean, Shaq is dominating, but I think nobody says, boy, a team should have won more, but they do that with Shaq should have won more.

Will Chamberlain should have won more.

But I don't know if we do that with other players like big Man, you always get should have won Nobody said, boy Kobe should have won more.

Jordan should have won more. Yes, yes, Mark.

I think with Shaq, it's the combination of Shaq and Kobe. When they hit their three peat, Kobe was twenty three years old. You know, crazy, that sounds so Kobe. They twenty one, twenty two to twenty three year old Kobe, like twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine year old Shack and then that was it. I know they had Tim Dunket over there and all that, but they were dominating

All right, So poll question for hour two is going to be watch Steeden. Well, I've been trying to figure out one. But can you compare the chief dynasty?

Right? I think we're in one to the Patriots dynasty?

All Right, I don't know if the Chiefs are quite there yet, but it's certainly the conversation to have. Right, Well, they're a dynasty, but you would have to go pick your dynasty with the Patriots. That is, at the beginning of Tom's career or the end of Tom's career. You can't do the whole thing. Well, I don't think that that's fair to the Chiefs. I mean what the Patriots did unless you said, oh, we're going to have the Chiefs now and then go back to the seventies when

Damn, thanks for taking that call. I was flashing back yesterday so I believe it was your very first trip to the Super Bowl in Miami in the RV and then you had the look in with the.

Playmaker getting rained on.

I was just thinking how far the show has gone through the years, and I got to thinking who would be your favorite guests of all times?

Personally?

I remember last week before you mentioned how good a guest Steve Young is love. I believe his name is right Thompson. That we're happy to end Winkle book and the Playmaker that you know they know you in the hood, Deep Deep brothers in the hood. Got cable. Who are your favorite guests?

Thank you Michael, Thank you JJ.

We had Michael Irvan in New Orleans and that's when it was raining and then there were white things that fell down on his jacket and Mike said, I can't have little white specks on my jacket, and uh, so we gave him an umbrella. James Lofton had an umbrella there. But we are roof leaked in New Orleans because in Miami we had an RV and then we just had, you know, one of those awnings that rolled out, and then we had a ton of water up there right before we're going on the air at the super Bowl

Morning?

T be two questions for you. If a direct trade to Golden State actually happens, does d Raymond Green have to be involved in that trade to get sent back to the Suns, because after all the trash talk can make coexist again? And then is the real reasons seat and had to drive the Makeo van so you can take back all the little chow sees on the desk and half of that set to the man Cave in Milford.

No, but it's a good idea.

If there was something large that I could put into the Makeo Van, then I would do that. But all the chochkeys that you see in front of me, we'll be able to pack up the big german. He'll do that and then we'll send this back to the man Cave. But as far as Draymond Green, I don't think they're gonna trade Draymond or he'd be part of it because you can't have him with Nurkic because.

They don't like each other.

If you don't trade Nurkic, right, Marvin, correct, Yeah, then you can't go. Hey, uh, you guys playing ice in the sandbox here.

But I don't know.

I you know, Jonathan Kaminga always feels like it's those young guys that they would be trade if they get Kevin Durant, if they get Kevin Durant. Jonathan in South Dakota, Hi, Jonathan, Hey.

Hey DPI you doing one six five, six to one either way?

Hey?

So I was thinking so with the Luca trade to Los Angeles, right, that tells Lebron that it's going to be the end of his era there? Should he not just try to pick up kd or maybe even staff move to Dallas, take Browny with him and get murked the West.

I don't know if Lebron wants to leave. You know, it's weird at this stage of his career. We think if Steph Curry might be like, hey, this is the last chance. Can you get me something? And can you bring in Kevin Durant? Can we make one more run in a championship? I don't know if Lebron feels like he's closer to a title now than he was a couple of days ago.

Probably not.

But if Lebron wins another title, I don't think it brings him closer to Michael Jordan. It does with the number of titles, I think people have already made up their mind. Lebron has had the greatest NBA career ever. There's nothing else that he's going to be able to do. If he wins another title'll be like, Okay, won another title, Luca's going to get the credit for that. And it's the same with Durant and goes back to Golden State.

Yes, Mark, So for you, when it comes to the greatest player ever, you think he's gonna have the greatest NBA career, But Jordan's the greatest NBA player.

I don't want to I don't want to get into this because for me.

You just go by peak, like would you take Lebron from nine to twenty sixteen and you take Jordan from eighty seven to ninety three.

I don't think there's the wrong answer there, I really don't. I think Lebron's domination is underrated. He wasn't a highlight like Mike was. Therefore, sometimes we like the shiny object. And look, if you said I got Mike, I'd be like, all right, And if you said you got Lebron, I'd.

Be like, okay as well.

But I think what Lebron has done the longevity, I mean, you could make this argument it's as impressive as anybody's career in any sport because of what he done at this age, what he has continued to do.

And this is what Luca needs to learn from Lebron.

How to be a professional, how to be accountable, how to make sure that you spend the money to be in shape you don't get to you know, there are a lot of guys that used to get to a team and then get in shape when they got to the team in pre season spring training. That's not the case anymore, and Lebron changed that. Michael Jordan changed it, Martina Nervatulova changed it.

It's I'm going to.

Incorporate weights, I'm going to get stronger, I'm going to be ready to go when the season starts. That's what Luca needs to learn from Lebron. He knows everything about basketball, he needs to learn this about being a professional.

That's what I think.

The best thing that Lebron can do, the best assist he can give, is to teach Luca how to be more like Lebron as far as getting in shape, staying in shape, being healthy, being out there.

Yeah, Pauling, Yeah.

As we're talking about this, I keep thinking that we give so little coverage to how Steph Curry's career is going to end. And it's making me a little bummed because I've enjoyed watching him as much as almost any athlete of my lifetime from an entertainment value, and it feels like it's just gonna flutter away at the end of his career.

I can't imagine. It's not on him.

It's about the situation he's in with his roster, and he's probably not going to be traded. I don't see everysurgence a last call for Steph Curry, and his last moment might be the Olympics, like where you're like he captured the world.

Well, the last call is right now. If they can get somebody, can you get Kevin Durant And is that enough? Does that change the West? Are you immediately the team to beat or one of the two or three teams? See, that's one of those teams that let's say you played Oklahoma City in a seven game series, I would lean towards Golden State if I had Durant and I had Steph, Like they know what they're doing. Yeah, see yeah, I love Kevin Durant and he's always that guy like, whoa,

Yes, Mark, Yeah, I think Kevin Durant his best role is just to be a hired gun. Like when he came to Golden State, They're like, look, all we need for you is to do this with like Brooklyn and maybe Phoenix. Hey be the leader, be the galvanizer and all that. Like look, man, I'm just trying. He's one of those guys. When he's fifty, he's gonna be playing at the YNCA Someway. All he wants to do is play basketball. That is, just be a sniper.

Yeah, as long as he stays healthy and if that happens, and you know, he can be reunited with Steph and unfortunately dran On, you know, do you do it? Sure you're not gonna win anything in Phoenix. I didn't like the mix when they first made the trades. But it might be Devin Booker, last guy he turned out the lights. Yeah, Mark, Yeah, Bradley Beal. He's this generation is Mitch Richmond. You can't remember one basket he made.

Great? I said, you can't do that too. You know, I love Mitch Richmond.

He's a great player. Name a basket run TMC name all right, okay, kind of mean spirit, kind of you know, people would kill to have Mitch Richmond's career.

Apparently you wouldn't. Oh, I would, yeah, dangn out of nowhere. I was a buster Douglas punch.

Damn.

I'm looking for my mouthpiece after that.

All right, I don't even know that Mitch Richmond's total career salary, by the way, is even one year of Bradley Beal's his whole career, what he made. I think Bradley bial might make more than that in a season. God, and you're right, name me a Bradley Beal hoop. Yeah, but he played on bad teams nobody I was watching. But even then, I still.

Don't remember of it. Did you remember that play? That move?

No?

Uh, I don't. It was a fifteen foot jumper. All right, we'll take a break.

South Palantonio is gonna join us, coming up, and we'll get to more phone calls Jim Harball a little bit later on. We're back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day five to seven pm Eastern.

But here's the thing.

We never have enough time to get to everything we want to get to and.

That's why we have a brand new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly, because this guy is over promising things we never have time for.

Yeah, you blubber litame in me. Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should be good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want you to be a part of it. We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our

There you go over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

More of your phone calls coming up. We have an in or out coming up, I believe, is that right, Paulie.

Yes, a special Super Bowl addition and one of the toughest inter out questions in inter out history, which is almost six months long.

It's got to take us a long time to figure out if we're in or out on that one specific question.

And then we'll play the MVP game.

And I think the rules are if you go first picking the Super Bowl MVP, then you go last when it comes back. It's just sneak draft, is what that's called. So let's say Marvin, you would have the first pick. That would mean you would have the last pick coming back.

I'm taking Do I save it?

No, you don't have the first pick yet. We have to pick numbers out of the hat before uh and is there anything at stake here? What do you get if you what a thirty pack? A thirty pack of Miller nine. Yeah, okay, so that means I only have two thirty packs for Super Bowl Sunday. All right, fair enough, let's see what we can do. All right, he's South Palantonio, the ESPN national correspondent, none of that local court responded. He's a national correspondent covering the NFL for decades. And

He'll be ready to go.

Let's go out to South Palatonio. Who joins us in New Orleans? What was it like the first time you were on TV live?

You know, it wasn't too bad because I had a little bit of training as a newspaper reporter. So it was all about getting those sentences out and getting them out clean, looking into the camera, making sure that you know you had the hair in place.

Of course, that more than yes, I know, that's more important than the information.

You don't look good. Not gonna matter what you say, Dad.

But you know when you see people who are in print and they do TV, yeah, print is different as far as what you're gathering. You're never worried about what you look like. But when you do TV, you have to get your interviews information, and then you got to all of a sudden comb your hair and go on TV.

Yeah, it's a little more.

Of a collaborative effort than being a newspaper reporter. You're only as good as those people around you. Have had great people all the way throughout the people who hired me at ESPN, people who I work with at ESPN.

How many years have you been at ESPN.

It'll be thirty on August first, thirty years.

How has the Super Bowl coverage changed in those thirty years?

Well, social media explosion is crazy. I mean opening night, it was wall to wall, shoulder to shoulder. You couldn't even move.

Players were packed into groups of reporters and they were unable to really go more than a half a foot. It was really intense and wild and crazy.

I mean, it wasn't wild and crazy in terms of the questions that were being asked, but there were just a lot of social media people there, and there are a lot of social media people here covering.

Every aspect of the Super Bowl.

Yesterday at the hotel I walked was walking around and talking to some of the catering people and the catering.

People at the Supernoll there's four thousand of them.

They have a team of like ten social media people who just handle social media for catering.

Wow.

But do we have enough content to satisfy everybody who covers the NFL, Because sometimes that leads to a story that maybe isn't as big of his stories as it is or should be, and it becomes bigger because we have wishful reporting on some of these things.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean everybody's trying to get as much clicks as they possibly can for you know, I'm not I have a very benign social media presence there. I have a little bit of an Instagram.

I'm not on X. I think I'm the only one at ESPN not on X and I like it that way.

If you break, if you have information, are you allowed to break or does it like you have to defer to Adam Schefter at all?

Well, now you're getting personal, Dad, Now you're getting personal.

I'm not up against the break either, Sal we have plenty of time.

Okay, I was that in the script?

Sorry you didn't ask for a list of questions.

I didn't ask for.

Short answer, no short answer, no, you know, I call the news desk still old fashioned.

You know, the number is still the same number as when I got there thirty years ago.

I called the news desk, or you know, I have my producer called the news desk, and we might put it out on Instagram, you know, just to satisfy people.

And it happened to me one time on vacation where I'm with Tony Dungee's agent, and he said, hey, do you know Tony's gonna get the job. He's going to be a head coach at Tampa. And I said, okay, So I called the assignment desk and they said, well, we need a second source, so I.

Says the Dinosaur Ace.

Then I said, yeah, you don't need two sources anymore, and then they so they ended up giving it to Chris Mortenson.

And then and I was like, okay, you know, I don't want to be in the breaking news business.

And I don't consider myself in the quote unquote breaking news missus. And I'm not a quote unquote insider. You know, I joke around all the time when I'm on radio. When they asked me a question about a contract, I'm like, you know, that's one eight hundred.

Adam chef, Call Adam and he'll have the inside school.

So, you know, I think it's important that you know, we figure out as a team, and we do it pretty well at ESPN.

You know where our lane is. My job is to be embedded with the Eagles.

This week, So if it moves at the Eagles Hotel, I'm responsible for it and putting it on television or on radio. And being embedded with the Eagles is kind of fun. It's you know, stem to stern, wall to wall. I live eleven miles from Lincoln Financial Field, had for twenty five years, so you.

Know, people haven't they expect me to find out what's going on.

Where were you when the Saquon Barkley As far as your opinion on Saquon Barkley coming to the Eagles, well, you know.

I think it's just an incredible story.

Listen, not the time, though, Where was I Yeah, Noil, Like, at the time, what did you think? You know, it felt like it's a little pricey. That offens not.

Pricy at all.

I mean, this was a I think this was the number one free agent acquisition in the last.

Twenty five years in the National Football.

League without a debt since Reggie White.

Well, yeah, going back.

To Reggie White, Reggie White brought a Super Bowl to Green Bay And is my first story actually covering the Eagles for the Philadelphia Inquirer was a letter from then Mayor ed Rendell to the owner of the team, Norman Brayman, begging him to keep Reggie White in Philadelphia, and Norman Brayman saying, you know what, let me run my football team, you run the city of Philadelphia's That was actually my first story that actually wrote, and so it's come full circle.

Dan Barkley is not only on the field but off the field.

I was talking to his running backs coach, Jamal Singleton on opening night and Singleton said, listen, when your best player is your hardest worker, everybody falls into line.

And that's Barkley.

But also just from a contextual standpoint of the culture in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, nobody had honestly, nobody has traveled.

More on the Jersey Turnpike than me from.

Exit four to Exit sixteen W and back in the last thirty years, I have worn out my easy pass. Okay, I just put new I just put new tires on my car for like the fifth time.

On this particular. I love this car because it doesn't beat bat me when I don't have my seatbelt done. Hey hey, hey.

But you know, and I see what happened in New York and North Jersey when saw and I hear from friends all the time because I grew up in New York. You know, this displacement of that player from the Giants to the Eagles. And it's only eighty nine miles from MetLife to Lincoln Financial feel, but the cultural chasm is huge.

New York is the financial mecca.

Philadelphia is the hard scrabble, working class center of football in Pennsylvania. And Barkley has fit in really well right away, and he's become a great leader.

Yeah.

But when he dropped the pass earlier this season and the reaction to that.

You mean against Atlanta on Monday night football. Yeah, yeah, I think he's made amends.

Oh no, I'm not worried about him.

I'm the fans were, because we were going to have him on that next day and he said, I can't. It'll be a bad look if I come on and then we saw the fallout from that. Now, all of a sudden, he's firmly embraced and.

Well, not all of a sudden. That was week watched. That was opening night for the Eagles, So that was, you know, week two of the season. You know, it's seventeen weeks.

Later, Dan, not overnight.

I mean, he is, without a doubt, one of the most beloved athletes that I've ever seen in a twelve month period.

Good because he's a great kid, dude, great kid, and I've enjoyed a friendship with him. But I I don't if he didn't ruin the MVP, there's not going to be a running back winning the MVP.

So in our lifetime it's not going to happen again.

And he should be the MVP.

Yes, if you look at what he did, if he he I think he made the right decision not playing in the last game. I had no problem with that because he has to get ready for this. That was the goal, not hey, I'm going to break a record, you know, break the all time rushing record for an entire season, including the postseason win, a Super Bowl win, a Super Bowl MVP. But We're not going to have a running back if it's not Saquon. With what he meant to this team, he changed them, he changed their offense.

No, And I think you're right.

I think it wasn't It was good for him not to play in that last game. And when I sat down with him in August, right before the season started, right before we went to Brazil, and he said, I want to rewrite my story. He said, I want to rewrite my story and I want to wait, I'm going to rewrite it to win.

A super Bowl, not go to the Super Bowl.

Not win a rushing title, not be the MVP when and he said that to me on Opening Night, same thing, that's gonna define who I am.

And yeah, let a super Bowl do more for Saquon Barkley or Jalen Hurts.

Jalen Hurts.

I think Jalen Hurts, you know, absolutely, And I think Jalen Hurts could easily be the MVP of this game.

Okay, but if you're Kansas City, you want to get in a shootout here, you want Jalen Hurts to be throwing the football.

IM guessing would be their defensive philosophy, and.

That would be the Eagles offensive philosophy.

I think in this football game, like they want to throw the ball, I would say throw it early and often bombs away for a lot of different reasons. Dan, a lot of different reasons. First and foremost, you gotta say to Kansas City, we can throw the ball on you. We got DeVante Smith and A. J.

Brown one two.

We're gonna keep Justin Reid and Trent McDuffie occupied and the rest of that secondary occupied so that you're not in run support on Saquon Barkley.

We're gonna loosen you up.

We're gonna get Steve Spagnolo something to think about before he brings Justin Reid down on those safety blitzes on third and fourth down. We're gonna hit the big long ball and loosen you up. The old adage of you throw to score and run to win is true in this game. Remember the Eagles scored thirty five points against this Chiefs defense two years ago when they were in the Super Bowl. They can score points this Eagles offense.

But don't you lead with Saquon to open it up, to have those defensive backs creep up and then you go deep.

You could do either way, but I think it's throw throw first. You know, he always there. You got established the running game. You know, we established the running game.

Throw the football, yeah, And I think if that happens and Jalen Hurts doesn't turn the ball, I think the Eagles have a real shot at winning this game. But you know, I was listening to your conversation. You know what Mick Jagger said about the Beatles, Are they the foreheaded monster? And that's what you have here with the Chiefs. You got a four headed monster. You got Reed, Spagnolo,

Who has more to gain? Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes.

Well, I think both of them, Nielsen. I'm a voter, as you know, as a Hall of Fame voter. They're both going first ballot Hall of Fame Read and Mahomes, and I think they're you know, they're tied together.

Is Eli going in first ballot this year? Good question.

Don't know Eli deserves to be. I pushed for him to be first ballot. We will find out tomorrow. But you have a general sense of being in that room.

I do have a general sense. I think there was considerable sport for Eli.

But why don't you break it now before chef de breaks.

All right?

I think that's only fair.

Because I don't want to get a call from Canton, Ohio.

Great to see you as always, oh Dan.

This is great, great thanks, such a pleasure.

Love spending time with you, certainly at the super Bowl and have fun on Sunday. Thank you At South pal Antonio. He has been national correspondent covering the NFL. He doesn't break news, he sprains it. It's Adam Schefter who breaks that news. We'll come back after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR, or stream

Come on, that's not nice to Chris. No, it's not. Chris Middleton's probably going wait, what did I do?

There's a point in time that moving Chris Middleton would have been a big deal. Yes, yes, Now we got to be careful when we say blockbuster deal from now on, Like Luca, that's a blockbuster deal.

This is just a deal.

It's Kyle Kuzma going to Milwaukee and Chris Middleton going to the Wizards.

Yes, Paul, would you rather go to the Wizards or go home? Well, I'm gonna still want to play.

I'm gonna still so you want to continue play, I'm gonna say, yeah, I would still go to the Wizards.

There you paused, Yeah, but it's just you know, the Wizards won back to back games. Recently. Yeah, they did.

Were you watching NBA TV will give it a renas, Yes, yeah, because you were watching this Wizard's team.

No, No, I did watch this Wizard's team. Once again.

I don't know why I feel obligated to watch games that nobody else is watching, because I feel like their parents and relatives are watching, and maybe nobody else. And the Wizards they're terrible. But Chris Middleton, the artist formerly known as Say Goodbye Keeper's Heart, new and unique style of whiskey that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey, creating a smooth character of Irish whiskey and the bold

All right? Are we ready to play? In or out? You're either in or out on the topics here.

Chris Haynes, we think is gonna to join us unless there's other trades that he's keeping an eye on.

And Jim Harball will join us next home. All right, Paul, just to recap, you're either in or out. That's right, Thank you, Dan, always helpful. The Dallas Mavericks know what they're doing.

I'm in.

I mean, they know what they're doing. It doesn't mean that they're doing it correctly, but they know what they're doing. Yes, Marvin, in or out?

I'm in.

I like you, Okay, Todd, I mean to Seaton, Yeah, super in. Wow, it's a shift. I mean they know this is there. Whatever they're doing, it's there. Although there's reports that this doesn't didn't come from the GM, it went it was above the GM who made this, and it wasn't Mark Cuban.

I don't know what that means. Here's a new ownership there.

Here we go, Steph Curry and Lebron James. One of these two will finish their careers on another team.

In or out.

Marvin, I'm out, Todd, I'm in. Seaton I'm out. I'm out, sadly out. Yeah, I'd like to see one of them. I'd like to see Lebron moved.

Maybe trade them for each other, just for you know giggles.

All right, Andy Reid should not retire as long as Patrick Mahomes is a chief.

Oh, I'm in and yeahs.

Yeah, maybe a year or two before, like if Patrick makes that swing down like I might get out now and then you know he could he's in a position where he could sort of cement like, see it was me, it was actually me that did this, so scenes out ish.

Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of out. Yeah.

Next one, the NFL referees are overly criticized in or out and means you agree at.

The statement Marvin, I mean Todd. Yeah, man, I'm out.

I'm in hesitantly in.

Yeah.

This one should be simple. I think the Detroit Lions should go all in for Miles Carett.

I'm in.

In, in, in in in, all in in.

Heck yeah, super in. Yeah, you gotta.

You don't have many opportunities like this. Take advantage of it. People want to go, oh, we need our team. We're built for the long haul.

Did you win any titles? No, but we were built for the long haul.

All right, this is my last one. I want you to think about this before you're in or out. And if you're in, you say in. If you're out, you say out. Okay or at his best, Patrick Mahomes is better quarterback than Tom Brady was at his best.

Marvin in.

Todd out.

By the way, today is the anniversary of the Patriots comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons. No big deal. Yeah, just no MBD. Yeah, the twenty five point deficit Seaton. Whichever option is Tom Brad Berrid Brady being better? I'm in on that one. I don't remember if I'm in or out on the question. Okay, recap that Tom Brady's better.

At his best. Mahomes is a better quarterback than Tom Brady at his best.

I'm out.

I'm barely out, like I'm I'm out now until Sunday night at around eleven o'clock.

The question is not resume or Super Bowls. It's who is better at their job at their best, and you slightly Brady?

No, that's okay.

I would say I'm in on Mahomes playing the position better than Tom right, not the results, because he hasn't played as long as time.

I love this question, supposedly because I wrote it, but more so because it's not just whose better career is.

We're years away from knowing that, but put people on the spot right now.

I would say Mahomes plays the position differently than anybody who's ever played it and has the end results to show for it.

Yeah.

Patrick, Mahomes started about three and a half games and media was almost like, you know this guy's better than Tom Brady.

That isn't true.

I'm barely exaggerating. How long was it like Tom Brady like, yeah, but he's good. But is he better than Joe Montana?

I don't know.

Joe Montana never lost a Super Bowl, so he can't be that. You know, Brady can't be that great. It's crazy. Mahomes plays the position differently than anyone. Not a better quarterback, not a better quarterback, he plays the position better. It's semantics. How about I asked Jim Harball this question, What do you think he'll say? Update on the NBA trade Duddaine right after this
