"Segregation in the day, integration at night."

It was like Cephaner in another world. Was he a businessman, a criminal, a hero? Charlie wasn't an example, a pal. They had to crush him. Charlie's place from Atlas Obsgera and VisitMortal Beach.

where there's one player where we go, oh my goodness. And that player is Sonny Styles, who is going to be a top 10 pick, but he may have moved up even a little bit higher than that. He was a former safety at Ohio State,

and now he is a linebacker. His dad played in college in the NFL, but he put up some pretty impressive numbers for a guy who weighs almost 250 pounds running of 440. His vertical is 43 and a half.

So I don't know how important that is, unless you're trying to block a field goal, but we love these measurables. Now I don't know what his arm like this. By the way, we did measure our arms yesterday.

We'll reveal that in the final hour of the program. AKA Armageddon. Oh, all right, Todd. That's a good one, Armageddon. That should be the title.

First hour brought you by True Green.

Don't waste another weekend doing your lawn care yourself. Partner with the official lawn care treatment provider, the PJ Tour, get a golf course quality lawn, the easy way, son up at True Green.com, and then sit back and relax.

I am fascinated, though, it's interesting.

All of the dance we're talking about watching the combine.

And almost feeling like they were doing something dirty. Marvin goes, I got caught watching the combine. I go, wait, that's part of your job. Getting caught. What is that mean?

You got caught watching the combine. Yeah, it was real awkward. I'm in the living room.

My life comes down to stairs, what are you watching?

And I turned around, oh, I'm sorry. She just looks at me, she goes, boy, the NFL has a cold cold on you guys. Yes, that is true. Yes, Todd. I've been caught by the wife for other reasons,

but I'm glad he had the cleaner combine version. Uh, they just need to combine the two. Maybe that's a new business. Yeah, but I'm gone, combine.com and he was the big deal. That would be entertaining.

Sounds like a dating site. Let's combine, let's combine, combine. I'm looking at players. Why, right? All right, 87, 7, 3D, P show.

He's got oily hips. Show me that shuffle cone drill. No, waste bender. Oh.

Daniel Jeremiah will join us on loan from NFL Network.

And he's been revealing arm length. And we'll talk to him as we lead up to the draft in Pittsburgh. And yes, we will take the show two Pittsburgh for three days for the draft in April. Robert, orio, seven time NBA champ, you'll join us coming up as well.

All right, pull question for the first hour.

The program is going to be what's eaten. Might have to be combine related if that's a dirty habit or not. Good. Very good. Um, I think that that's really funny.

Got a lot. Yeah. Why is it though that when you watch the combine, it does feel like man, I'm really diving deep into this. Yeah, it is fascinating that we'll watch this because I do I do tend to watch it every

year. Like I watched yesterday was offensive lineman, I want to say, and it was fascinating. Like the dudes going around a cone is foot slips out. He drops down to a knees. You know that that kid is crushed right now.

His parents are watching. They're like, oh, no. You should have worn the other cleats. That's going to drop into the fifth round. That's tough, man.

Get ready for this because there's only one legitimate quarterback first round quarterback

against Fernando Mendoza, but you will get an onslaught of publicity for Tyson's in the Alabama quarterback happens every year where we will, you got to have something to talk about. And you're going to have them build people up and then you're going to have them tear people down and then somewhere in between is where they're going to end up as we go

into the draft. But I think Tyson's in from Alabama will get a lot more love than he's getting right now because we're trying to bolster that first. You know, when you think of the draft, name, we were so spoiled a couple of years ago. We got all these quarterbacks.

And that's what this is about, you know, when, and I've gone to these drafts before where

you get a fan base there and all of a sudden they're on the clock and then all of a sudden they say, and the Buffalo bills take, you know, Jimmy Lipper offensive guard in C state. And they're like, yeah, and they have no idea who they're getting. All you want to know is do we get a skilled position guy? Are we going to get an edge rusher here?

That's all that you, you, you care about. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, I've, I've worked the NFL draft and I've been to one we went to one of Green Bay. And the fan base when you draft a skill position, you got a quarterback or running back where I've ever seen her.

All right, let's go. Let's go. And then this offensive tackle or offensive guard or detackle. All right. Okay.

We need, okay. But that's how you win in the NFL is the offensive line and defensive line. But we're so, it's just like the Raiders might be committing malpractice by drafting for an endomendosa and not having a good offensive line. You draft, asked, and gentie and you don't have a good offensive line.

Hopefully he gets an opportunity to ease in to the quarterbacking position because I don't want him starting week one, even if he's ready to start week one, he's not going to be ready to start. And I hope that they give him an opportunity where, hey, let's bolster the offensive line and give him a chance because if not, then you're going to have a similar situation to

what you had last year with the Raiders when they had one of the worst offensive lines in football. Yes, Eden. Do they have the ability to fix both? Sometime between now and the start of the next season.

Well, let me see what you do in the draft, if you're going to be able to sign players. But yes, you've got to have an offensive line. But then you need one for the superstar running back that you just said, yes, and that's,

I don't know if, I don't know if Agston Gentie is going to be a great running...

I don't know if he's going to be a jimmy or Gibbs kind of player, I mean, he was fascinating

in college.

But this, this is the NFL and I think this will be a big year for him coming up to

see, are you able to rely on him? And there were times when he had, I mean, he had moments, but still, you got to have the offensive line. And those teams that do, you protect your quarterback and, I mean, New England was able to go to the Super Bowl.

They went out and bolstered their offensive line. Now, granted, that offensive line didn't look good in the playoffs, certainly the Super Bowl. But they gave Drake may a chance. And same thing with the bears with Caleb Williams, I kept saying, you got to get an offensive line and they went out and signed three offensive linemen.

If you're going to have a great quarterback or the potential for a great quarterback, don't try to fool anybody because you won't, you got to have an offensive line. But I hope Fernando Mendoza and you might get some comparisons now. Dan Orlovsky even said this yesterday from the mothership that Tyson's in makes some plays and he was kind of comparing him with Fernando Mendoza and leaning towards Tyson's

in as this guy's got a lot of talent there. Now the mothership is trying to sell the draft, too. And everybody else who's going to be covering the NFL draft, presenting the NFL draft. But you will get Tyson's in love coming up. And when I watched him against now last year before the season started, nobody was talking

about Tyson's. Now they were talking about this quarterback draft. So you had a couple of players, you know, Cade Crabnik, Nussmire from LSU, arch, maybe coming out. He had quarterbacks and this was going to be, oh man, you got to get ready for this quarterback

draft. Drew Owler.

Now Owler might be a guy who wins up like one of those second day picks who could

turn out to be an NFL quarterback. He got hurt with Penn State, but there were probably five to seven quarterbacks where we're like, man, you got to position yourself. No one was talking about Fernando Mendoza. He came out of nowhere and had a magical season, obviously.

But that's how quickly it happens. Oh, Indiana got a quarterback from Cal, nothing to see here, but there was.

And that's why I go back to what Kirk Herb Street said, preseason.

He said, keep an eye on Fernando Mendoza and Indiana. And Herbie was the only guy I heard say that that made it feel like maybe there's something there building off the previous year within Indiana. It's tricky with these quarterbacks and there's going to be two or three quarterbacks out of nowhere for this upcoming season in college football.

It happens all the time, but Nussmire and Club Nick, I don't know if they're NFL quarterbacks. They look like it. Never Carson Beck.

He was going to be a first round draft pick and I went, we're watching a different

game because I don't think he's a first round draft pick, but you know, he might be one of those guys who gets a chance to be a backup quarterback, you know, pulling. It doesn't happen that often, but every couple years, there's just a wasteland at quarterback 2024, six quarterbacks taken in the first 12 picks of the draft. If you go back to 2022, it was a little down.

Can he pick it was the first pick and he didn't go to 20, then you had Desmond Ritter, not a lot of juice in that draft, but the year before you had Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Tray Lance, Justin Fields, Mac Jones, even Kyle Trask was interesting and that was a juicy quarterback draft, but it alternates and only one of them paned out with Trevor Lawrence.

I would love to see Mac Jones get another opportunity because I think he was done wrong

by the Patriots. Imagine your offensive coordinator is a defensive coordinator. You go to the playoffs and it, I mean, it didn't have weapons and it felt like Mac Jones didn't get the credit, but he certainly got the blame and then he got kicked to the curb and, you know, bounced around a little bit, and now all of a sudden you go to San Francisco

and you saw that when he played, I mean, he can play and he can be a starting quarterback I think. It's like Malik Willa, same thing with Tennessee, where I thought, ah, he had a lot of talent. It seemed like they moved on from him quickly, oh, man, we got a draft, we'll level us and I'm like, okay, and then they moved on quickly from him, yeah, Paul.

Dan, I'm currently nerdy out on quarterback strafted by year, number 2011, Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Lane Gabbard, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Ryan Mallett, that's

A lot of names.

Yeah, but not a lot of good names though. But people love Jake Locker until like, I did, I did, you weren't alone. I thought, man, Jake Locker, athletic, played it, you dob, and then I realized that he couldn't complete those passes over the middle, Ryan Mallett was going to be a big deal, because he was Michigan and then he transferred to Arkansas, yeah, Cam was obviously great.

Who else was in that draft? Blaine Gabbard, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick.

I love Dalton, and I think he went first, first, pick second round at TCU.

That's right. When he played in the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin, wasn't it? It's J.J. Y. J. Y. Of course I knew it, and I thought, I thought Andy Dalton played an unbelievably intelligent game, and I thought, man, he's, you know, Red Rifle Tall Guy, he got some movement there, and I thought, man, he's a good pick-up, and he turned

out to be a pretty good pro, I would say, hey, decent pro, nice career, but that's just, you know, it's who you go to, and when you go to that team, and what is the infrastructure? So you can be a great talent, actually, you can be a better than average talent, but be on a team, and they'll make you even better. You'll look even better, I think, like Jalen Hertz, that team makes him look better.

I think a standalone Jalen Hertz, I don't think that he stands out as a great quarterback,

but he's great with what the Eagles do, and probably another Super Bowl appearance. He's a Hall of Famer. He might be a Hall of Famer. Now, he's not MVP regular season, but, you know, the way this goes now, you win a couple of Super Bowls, you've got a chance to be a Hall of Famer, yeah, Paul. Here's another draft for you. Oh, four.

Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Rathasberger, taken in the first 11 picks, and a guy

you and I loved J.P. Lossman of two games for the Bills. We were, while on that, man. It was almost an era right there, it was almost an era. No, we got to, okay, they loved J.P. Lossman because we loved two lanes uniform. That's right. We loved their helmets. And him. Yeah. Yeah.

Did he go to Buffalo? Sure did. Yeah, he lost.

It didn't surround him with talent. Buffalo had a few picks there, where it was like, man, if one of these hits, they're really going to be good, and then they finally got Josh and who was the Johnson, who was the Rob Johnson? Rob Johnson. Oh, the fun machine. What does

he Buffalo? Yeah. Yes, Marvin. E.J. May, also. Yeah. Ooh. He was the first quarterback

taken by the Bills in that year. But when we had him on pre-draft, he was unbelievable. Unbelievable. We were like, I want him on my team. Yeah. I don't know how good he is, but I want him on my team. Yeah, Paul. The 2013 QB draft, E.J. manual out of Florida State to the Bills at 16. Then everyone else was second, third, and fourth round. Gino Smith, Mike Glennon, Matt Barkley of USC. Dang. Matthew. Yeah. He thought Matt was going to be

a thing there. Yes, Marvin. Gino Smith said, "Tiesman winner?" Yeah. Yeah. He was. He was the greatest quarterback that ever lived up until October of that year. Yeah. His September was, he won the Heisman. Was Ryan Fitzpatrick as September go? He was September. MPP. SEPT. SEPT. SEPT. Tiesman. SEPT. MVP. SEPT. MVP. SEPT. MVP. Okay. All right. I don't know what we just accomplished, but it was fun. Let's take a break here on this meat Friday. When

we come back, grades are handed out. And I always was nervous when grades were handed out

when I was in school. And some of these teams should be nervous as well. Or embarrassed. We'll have that for you coming up. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick Show.

the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring

for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. Lucy Leppi has been

found ill-sayed. But what if we didn't get the full story? I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast

doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, we followed the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened, when the world decided who Lucy Leppi was. No voicing of any skepticism are doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.

and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is a special agent

Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the US government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Here how they got it on the 6th bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes

opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the 6th bureau and the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termine Hudson as the perpetrator.

Termine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistake in identity." The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. NFL PA had report cards that were released. Now, last year you could go to the NFL player association and you could go on their website

click on this and the players for these teams would be grading an A through an F. It could be team facilities. It could be the playing surface. It could be travel. It could be the weight room. They gave grades on every ownership. It gave grades on all of these teams. So the last three years this was available at the NFL player association website. You just clicked on it. Well this year it's not up there because the NFL, these owners didn't want to be embarrassed publicly and now it's

been leaked and now we have some of these grades. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Treatment of

families. F. I mean, I'm guessing tickets, accommodations. Do you have nice food and drink in a green room?

Huh. Home game field. F minus locker room. F minus team travel. F team ownership. D minus.

Wow.

Yeah, Paul. They embraced tradition. So the locker room looks like 1955. And then apparently they have five bathroom stalls for the entire team. And this is why they got an F

minus grade. I would never be able to play with them. No, you could not. I hate me at once.

The Bengals Treatment of Families. F minus nutrition. F team ownership. D plus food and dining area. F minus home field. D minus. The Browns, their locker room. And F team travel. A D treatment of a family's D minus. The Cardinals team ownership. F. The Giants and Jets. And the least surprising grade. They're home field. And F minus the worst playing surface in the NFL. The Broncos. They got an A in the following categories. Home field training room, training staff,

food and dining, strength coaches, team travel, GM and team ownership. How you do it?

And they're winning. The Lions. Nothing lower than a B minus with one exception. The offensive

coordinator in which they were given a C minus Vikings and dolphins. They had 11 A minuses or better for both of these teams. C Hawks at 14 A minuses or better. The Ravens lowest grade B minus. You could imagine, oh, the Jets head coach got an A even though he fell asleep yesterday, apparently at the combine. He's he's resting on his laurels. Oh, okay. Thank you. C Hawks home field. F. Handlers ownership. B minus Mr. Tapper. Hold my drink. Yes, Todd. What does it

happen? Nutrition means they could have any grilled chicken and go have any some protein. Have a cupcake,

all right? That I'm I said. I get on their teams that have a bad training team. Can't just eat

chocolate chip cookies. I just want some gold chicken. Yes, Paul. I've been going through all these. And there's only a handful of teams that give really the players gave very bad grades for training room, training staff, weight room and strength coaches. Like the cardinals, their players gave very bad grades for all of those. That's direct. Because that's your the people keep you healthy and get you physically ready for the season and coincidentally,

they're a terrible team. But could you imagine going in there in the offseason?

And you got the strength coach or coaches in there and they're looking around going, which one of you guys? Who doesn't? All you guys? You don't like us. What is it? Hey, we're just doing arms. We're not going to do leg day and you're upset with them. Got the wrong thing. Yeah, I know. There's only one bench there for bench press. Yeah, see. I wonder if there's a correlation between the crappy trainer grades and teams that are injured a lot. Yeah. Yeah, and could

invalid point or bad grades for a bad team. Yes, pulling. The seat is right. The one of the worst for a training room and training staff was the Cleveland Browns. Year by year, they're usually a bad team. It has to factor in. Yeah. Yeah. So the grades came out and you could understand why some of these teams would be upset about. Now, I don't know if it means, hey, we already know this we're not going to change to now you're embarrassing us. Now we do have to change. Didn't

jet's ownership didn't what he Johnson get like an F last year and then they redid the locker room

after that. I mean, you're making billions of dollars here. Can't you treat your players better?

At least get a B. You know, it doesn't have to be a plus, but you know, like a B. Yes, time. I know this is anonymous, but you've got to wonder what TJ walked or put in for, you know, the medical staff over with the punctured lung. It's something comes back. It's probably going to be TJ while related. When you get that deer that F among the training or medical staff. Yeah. So there was a press release last year that was available on the NFL player association this year.

They leaked it. Somebody leaked it. Yes. The one that's weird. I mean, you mentioned it just before, but the Seahawks, like one of the things you think about the Seahawks is when you play them in Seattle, that home field advantage is brutal because the place is so loud to see. I know it's home game field in F, but man, it just doesn't line up with what you think. I get clearly they know players

Don't like the turf that they use there.

Yeah, it is a home field, but they don't like the way the home field feels. Everything other than the actual field itself feels great. Yeah. Yeah. You get all A's and then

the playing surface here. But when you think about it as a player, it would be the most important

thing to me is the playing surface. And if I'm a jitter, a giant, I know this is terrible. And the Jets and Giants ownership, no, it's terrible. And it would make you think at least it would me twice. Do I want to play on that field eight games a year? And what's that going to do to the longevity of my career? You know, neighbors got hurt. And they attribute that, you know, to the field. Yes, Todd. Does ownership don't they feel in need to maybe meet with the players at some

point? Not to say who routed us out and said these things. But like, doesn't have to be addressed. So you think it's going to just get swept under the rug and pretend you didn't get a D in this and an F and family of facilities and just go about your business like you're, I mean, how much money are we talking about? You're going to upgrade the locker room or the training table. Why are you not treating families well? Like, what does that mean? Do you make them part like a

half a mile away? There is no green room. There's no hot food in there. Like, what is it?

And comparing that. So one team has an F F minus and then another one has an A, what is the difference between those two? And this is where the NFL, you know, the home office should be looking at this collectively and saying, this is bad for us. You know, we look bad here. We make $23

billion in revenue. Can't we spend a little money? It's like, I got bad tires on my Porsche.

No. Yes, Susan. The I'm looking into the Jets improvements in the last year since Woody Johnson was embarrassed. And it's fun. It says this says ahead of the 2025 NFL season, the Jets unveiled the comprehensive renovation of the locker room and adjacent areas at the training center. Upgrades include 92 custom built lockers with high tech features such as ventilation and USB ports. Wow. What is it? 2018 violation. Hey. Let's get a little movement in the air.

Here. Good. God. Guys, can we get some ventilation? The other thing that they list as part of

the big improvements is there's also a large illuminated 2000 pound Jets logo on the ceiling. Yeah. That's definitely what the players want. I can't stand looking at this ceiling. Could we get something incredibly heavy and illuminated up there, please? There's no hot water or soap,

but look at that Jets logo. Yeah. Yeah. Meanwhile, Woody's like, you know, I paid a million

dollars for that thing. You better like it. Yeah. Yes, Marvin. Imagine if you go to Georgia, LSU or Ohio State. Oh, yeah. And the facilities in college are way better than they are in hell. Like that is better. There's no way that should be the case. Yeah. Yes, Todd. How angry or frustrated does it play have to be saying? I was going to give it an F, but you know what? F minus. Make it clear how disgusting this place is F minus an actual grade. I don't think so.

I mean, you're a professor. It's not, well, since you're asking, no, F minus is not an option to grade somebody. F is the worst. They have the absolute, they made up a grade. It was so bad. When you're goofing on someone, you say, here's an F minus. Hmm. F minus. Dang. What would bother you more though? The Miami dolphins get A's and everything, but they're not good. Well, I guess I would like the luxury if we're going to be bad that there's at least something positive when I go to

the facility. You know, the the experience is nice. You know, I get to, hey, we lost, but man, look at this. We get a great training table. And we got, look at these facilities that we have here. But how much would it cost to just freshen up the place? I mean, then Kansas City have a terrible grade. The previous year they did. They got a bunch of seas and sea minuses for like weight room facilities. Other things. Yeah. Yeah, the grades coming out.

Yeah, it's time. Not to mention the billions rolling in and how the NFL in this country is by far the most popular sport. There's just no, there's no excuse at all to not have some kind of basic upgrades. So a plate isn't like yes to give you an F minus in any category. Yes, Paulie. I went back to 2025 and some of the good teams have terrible grades. Team travel, team travel, Buffalo bills. Again, F minus, Patriots F, Eagles F. Those are good teams.

The NFL surpassed $23 billion in revenue last year. Half of that in Texas.

Hey, come on guys.

College has better facilities. All right. We'll get some phone calls in here. 8773DP show events in

Austin. Good morning, Vince. What's on your mind today? Hey, guys. Happy Friday. Well, I'm driving back from down with some deep decisions to Austin at the call last night. Looks like I'm probably going to join at least. We're seeing what's right now. So I was going to say we need to have a charter club to add HC small hands club. We can do small hands across America or something like that. All right. Well, thank you, Vince. And good luck heading back home. Might be joining the DDC. Do we want to have a small

hands club? I'll be the president. Are you okay? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I have the one T-shirt with your, both your hands there. Man, that got awkward at some of the meet and greets. When you would see a woman

who had your hands strategically placed and gripping. Yeah. Yes, Paul. I'm not just the president.

My clients. Look at that. Look at the hair club for a man like a man. I'm not only the president. Yeah. Yes. The small handed club. You could have a very, very small card. Membership card. That makes your hands look a little bigger. Okay. Actually, yeah, everything that the club sells is sized down a little bit. So it's like, yeah, it is. Let's mug. Sean and Cincinnati. Good morning, Sean. What's on your mind? Hey, good morning, Dan. Uh, just wanted to call in quick, uh,

fourth time, long time, six foot, 200 in a row, something pounds. Uh, I, I just had a calling and give Marvin some love. His face looks so defeated on the intro on the peacock show today. Marvin, don't let Satan beat you up too bad. And I hope your arms are definitely longer than Satan's. Quick questions for the group, though. We've had a debate amongst my friends who are also

D.P. show listeners, how many times do you have to be on as a caller to be considered a contributor,

and you can list it on your professional resume? Hmm. Hmm. We should ask Chris and Syracuse if they're, you know, because he's the professional caller. I don't know if he has it on his LinkedIn page, but they're a contributor to the D.P. show. I would think 10, 10 times. Like, you know, the regular like Buddha, they're certain, you know, we probably have a 10 or 15 Gus and L.A. that I would think if you've contributed on a semi-regular basis, you can put

contributor to the Dan Patrick show. I'm fine with that. Yes, Satan. I think it's kind of when we recognize the name. Okay. You know, when it comes up, I don't know how many callers that is, or how many exact number of calls that is, but sometimes it's like, oh, yeah, Jim and Tampa. I know that guy. Yeah, like Lucas in Texas, like there's certain guys where you go, okay. Oh, yeah, I remember who this is. We'll take a break here. There's definitely other people that call in like, hey,

just about that last time I called in in 2019, uh, just still really embarrassed about it. Like, no, I like what you're talking about. Yeah, they'll bring up something and I'll go, I don't. I don't. I have no idea about it. Yes, Tom. It is hard to make rent as a professional caller. We

should say that you should get something on the side where you can actually get it. But, you know,

your Wikipedia page, you want to put it on there, contributor to the Dan Patrick show. I'm fine with that.

Yes, yes, Marvin. Some of our callers have Wikipedia pages. Maybe. Oh, it's amazing.

Well, do you guys have Wikipedia pages? Can you have a Wikipedia page? I think you can. I don't know that any of us do. Oh, you don't. I'm on the check though. Let's see. Yeah. Todd, I think it's better if someone creates it as opposed to you pitching yourself to get a Wikipedia page of it. I was the one. Oh, we can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. We can. Yes, Marvin. I did look at my high schools. Wikipedia page to see if I was on the notable alumni list. Oh, I'm not going to lie. I definitely tried.

I was like, let's see if there's more. Oh, no, there's not. Well, don't check. Right. Maybe during the commercial break. We can check. And see if we have wiki. PDF pages with the Danets. Backroom guys got wiki. Wikipedia page. Rightfully so. Yeah, they got their own t-shirt. Me. Rob aka Rob a goal known for editing. Early life. Yeah. grew up in. Let's take a break here.

Make the hat optional.

J.J. Reddick after the loss last night. We talked about this as staff like our losses are louder than

other teams because we're the Lakers and because of the way we lose, you get this deep in the season. And again, tonight was a one-position clutch game which now we've lost a few of those. But we've been great for the most part in the clutch all year. Our losses are louder. So we had some adversity. Did we not respond? Yeah, you did, but you blew a 12 point lead and that's three losses in a row. You lose to Orlando. I mean, they are kind of a middleing team here.

I'm not expecting anything great. I think something great could happen but I don't think it's sustainable

once they get to the postseason. Could they be a tough out? Absolutely. But, you know, if you're a five or six seed here, are you going to be threatening to some of these other teams? I just, I don't think so. And you start to look at some of these other teams. You know, the east feels wide open. We're not sold on Detroit. We're not sold on to the next. I still think Boston's going to be the team to beat. If Tatum's able to come back with the contributions they get, okay, see is so deep.

Even when they don't have their top five scores, you know, they were in a game where they were

leading in the third quarter, I believe, just recently. And then, you know, you get everybody back.

Denver is going to be a tough out the rockets. You know, so there's, there's teams that are good. I don't know if there's a great team. San Antonio, one again. You know, after a while, it's not the, oh, it's a cute story. They want to level it in a row. And that's when you start to look at this thing, because when you're young, you're trying to figure it out. And it used to be, you go into the postseason. But maybe it still exists that you're going to the postseason. It's a learning

process for a younger team. We saw that down through history. And you saw that with okay, see a couple of years ago. You get into the postseason. You got to kind of learn because it's just a different brand of basketball. San Antonio is going to learn that along the way. But gaining confidence to the following year, there won't be a fluke there. It'll be like you expect San Antonio to be an elite team and credit to them. Yes, Morgan.

And I think when it comes to the NBA playoffs, it's a lot about matchups. And the spurs,

or the thunder, do not want to see the spurs, because the spurs have had their number all season long. And when be hates chat, not that we need more hatred in the NBA, like don't even mention that guy in the same breadth as me. But why does Wemby do not like chat home? Because I think it was a lot of, man, this guy's a unicorn. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We used that term a little bit too loosely. And I think it was a lot of it's a chat. Is it Wemby? And Wemby's like, no, no, this isn't a

competition. This isn't a comparison. It's almost like Jordan against Drexler. Don't compare me to that guy. Oh, well, I didn't know that it was a hang, which one do you want to take? Cheddar Wemby. Yep. Was that actual, an actual question? In Wemby's mind, it was. Oh, because people were hyping up chat and it was like a big matchup. Chet versus Wemby, the two young, you know, centerpieces of their team, so to speak. So Chet, Chet's a good player, but he's

not Wemby. Oh, we know that. Yeah, I mean, he's not a one. He's a two. Yes, but he was Wemby before Wemby got there. Wasn't he? He didn't quite have quite as much hype, but he was sort of like this big dude that plays more like a guard than a big man and can shoot and look at his handle. And then he got hurt and then all the sudden this other guy showed up and kind of walked right into that place. Well, poor Zingus was supposed to be the unicorn. That didn't work.

I mean, he was like a big dude though, like not sort of like a super skinny seven footer. Like they're

almost carbon copies in some ways. Yeah. Yeah, it's more. You have to eat the big difference between

poor Zingus and the other two guys we just mentioned, Chet and Wemby can put it on the floor and they can go from the three point line and dribble to the basket and finish. I remember seeing Chet in a high school and what stood out is that tall with that kind of handle and he had touch. But Wemby, well, Wemby's a better player, obviously. But, you know, maybe it's a rival

re here. Maybe. Yes, Paul. Chet missed is, I love Colin Chet with his first name. By the way,

he missed his whole rookie year with injury, but he's up to 17 points, nine rebounds. Yeah, he's got blocks. Yeah, that those are all really good numbers. All purpose player. Yes,

He's going to make $50 million a year.

and Chet Holmgren. I don't know how many Chets that we've had. And what is Chet short for?

Chester? Oh, it is. Chetster? Well, I have as a official name is. It's going to be Chest,

then. Yeah, that's what I would think. How we go by Chest. That'd be awesome. Yeah,

you go to Chest. Chester, I'm hated some people who go to go on by Chester. Same, I'm here. My name is Chester. Yes, Todd. Like Chet neglecting that doesn't sound like that would work very well. If that's actually a way to say Chester and Chet, I mean,

are those really connected to each other? Those two separate names. Yes, Paul. I have as a

official name is Chet Thomas Holmgren. No Chester. Okay. We're staying on this story. Okay. Call them CT. I've taken the poll results, so I've seen. I'd be happy to. How much NFL combine do you watch most some or none? Mm-hmm. You want to take a guess? Some. Okay. Yes, some has a percentage of the vote. Definitely. 49. No, they're at 20-20-22. Yeah, now they nailed it. But the none number is really interesting to me. 76% of the audience right now

watch zero. None. I think you're lying. I think you're lying. I think the most and the none number

are the most interesting. Some is like, well, all right, everybody watch us on. Well, head to the
