What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Draft night is tonight. Hope, chaos, and one more chance for the Dolphins to finally get it right. We'll see. Draft Watch, presented by Bucked Up. Tonight, 745 Eastern on YouTube at Levitard Show.
I want to talk about some of the basketball from last night, and we will get to that in a second. The Suns are really mad about the officiating. They're doing something. This is very early in the playoffs for this to they're going to be fines involved with this and they don't have a chance of any kind in this series. It's the only way for them to make it interesting is to do what they're doing with the officiating two games in. They have no chance if they if the officials do not help them. They cannot win that series. There are not enough injuries that Oklahoma City can have that the Suns will win that series. But just getting back to the humanity of what it is that we are just talking about, just from what you guys imagine, I know they're all just stories and content and they're not human beings.
They're here for us to cluck about and the internet likes to dunk on people. But would you not imagine just hypothetically that whatever it is that Mike Vrabel is feeling right now, this is the weakest Mike Vrabel has ever felt. You could just imagine it, right? Yeah. Like just all of how that feels. You've never seen a Mike Vrabel or thought of a Mike Vrabel as frail as this one is. Getting advice from every side and has to go home at night.
What controversial officiating incident involved Devin Booker?
Being forced to do things he definitely doesn't want to do.
I want you to now examine when you do this with these coaches about how they're tough and they lead and everything else. They're tougher than everyone else in one very small sphere. It's a very small place because this kind of stuff will make anybody crumble. There is not a tough enough, a leader enough, a strong enough to endure how this hits at home and how it hits it with your coworkers and how it hits with societies laughing at you after you told everybody kind of defiantly and you got 20%. 20 years of Patriot Way behind you when you say it. So you're bringing all of this when you say laughable. You say in our face laughable. And now the world just crushes you. Like big, tough champion Vrabel. Like now, okay.
Now we're already enjoying this because it's human nature to see everybody, everything fall apart in your life, champion guy. Like I... When I see that happen and I hear about how we talk about these coaches demanding the accountability of others, the guys who are actually physically hurting during the week, always demanding the accountability of others. This is your leader, Patriots Way. And you tried to kill the photos and Patriots Way. Like this is your face and you're hiding him on day three. You're hiding him from us on day three and sending out missives in the middle of the night about counseling.
I mean, this kind of is the Patriots way, right? Like espionage. Counterintelligence. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. This is now to the nth degree of that. I think that if I was going to look at the lowest moral franchise in the NFL, I would be looking at the Patriots. regardless of the red, white, and blue of it all. Murder, yes. It is interesting, though, because like we mentioned earlier, I thought his statement was effective in making it go away. It wasn't favorable at all to whatever Diana was going through, and that was really unfortunate for her, but it was super effective in like, all right, we're moving on. And then it got brought back. and it opens the door to what else is going on here?
And that's where you ask questions like, is this bad PR or is this PR trying to get out in front of something? Well, and on top of that, I was thinking about, okay, say that this occurred and it occurred for a long period of time, just hypothetically.
How do the Thunder's flopping tactics affect their reputation?
That is a massive relational breach. You don't throw somebody under the bus If it's been something that you've developed over time. When family's involved, you probably do. A lot is made out of the ethical breach that this is for Diana.
