Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody, Final
Speaker 1: Hour Dan and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Say good
Speaker 1: morning to our TV partner Peacock, where you can watch
Speaker 1: for free and also a great radio affiliates around the country,
Speaker 1: numbering three hundred and sixty two Best and Worst to
Speaker 1: the weekend. We didn't have the opportunity yesterday, we had
Speaker 1: the day off, but you can dial us up, you
Speaker 1: can email, you can tweet Best and Worst to the weekend.
Speaker 1: A couple of things, Heat and Bucks Game five tonight.
Speaker 1: Greek Freak is listed as I think questionable for tonight's
Speaker 1: game with the ankles Sprain, Lakers, Rockets Game three coming
Speaker 1: up tonight, Clippers one. Last night they're up two one
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets, takes up three two on the Raptors.
Speaker 1: The Big Ten is still up in the air. If
Speaker 1: you were not with us in the first hour, I
Speaker 1: gave you an update from my source that there's still
Speaker 1: a pushback from the medical community in the Big Ten
Speaker 1: to not play, and I was told they simply don't
Speaker 1: have enough teams to play. I was told that the
Speaker 1: Michigan teams not going to play. Illinois teams that's Illinois,
Speaker 1: Northwestern are not going to play, Maryland's not going to play,
Speaker 1: and Rutgers probably won't play. That doesn't leave you with
Speaker 1: much if you're able to pull this off. And now
Speaker 1: I'm told that the medical community with the Big Ten
Speaker 1: is trying to push to November. Now, it was October
Speaker 1: tenth that was the target dates so they could get
Speaker 1: in a ten game schedule and qualify for the postseason.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. So you're not
Speaker 1: gonna have Michigan Michigan State. You're not going to have
Speaker 1: enough to put together. You're gonna have what eight teams?
Speaker 1: Is that enough? And I'm told that even if they
Speaker 1: go into the spring that a lot of these players
Speaker 1: are not going to want to play. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of players who don't want to practice now because
Speaker 1: there's the uncertainty of do we even have games this year?
Speaker 1: Like they're trying to understand why are we practicing for
Speaker 1: games that aren't going to happen. And I think that
Speaker 1: they're starting to be a little pushback from some players
Speaker 1: at certain universities in the Big Ten PAC twelve with
Speaker 1: their commissioner Larry Scott when he came on last week
Speaker 1: and basically was saying, Hey, we're not playing. We may
Speaker 1: have some new testing. We're going to be playing in
Speaker 1: the springtime. I was told that January is a legitimate
Speaker 1: landing date for the Big Ten, like that can still happen.
Speaker 1: It's just that is not anywhere near the consensus. And
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get enough teams that are
Speaker 1: going to be able to pull this together to be
Speaker 1: able to play fall football. And I was a little
Speaker 1: more optimistic a week ago. I was also told, my
Speaker 1: source said, after speaking to a Big Ten coach, they're
Speaker 1: really disappointed that the Big Ten commissioner, Kevin Warren has
Speaker 1: gone silent, because he should be saying something here. They
Speaker 1: don't know does he want to play? Can we play?
Speaker 1: We've reached out to him for weeks just to try
Speaker 1: to see, like, what is the direction you're headed in here,
Speaker 1: and I'm told that it is just there are polar
Speaker 1: opposites in viewing this in the Big Ten, and the
Speaker 1: likelihood right now seems really really doubtful. Pole question, McLevin,
Speaker 1: and are we going to stay with that pole question?
Speaker 1: We should probably switch it up. He's just to blow out.
Speaker 1: I'll give you three groups of quarterbacks who went to
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The old guys Breeze, Brady Ben, the young
Speaker 1: guys Watson, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or the medium guys Rogers,
Speaker 1: Russell Ryan. It's the young guys up to seventy seven percent.
Speaker 1: No one has faith in the old guys. Yeah, Peter
Speaker 1: does well, He's got Tampa going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: He's got them playing against the Ravens. By the way,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are on the hook to pay Josh Rosen
Speaker 1: three point seven million to be on the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: practice squad. Once again, the Dolphins are paying more money
Speaker 1: to Josh Rosen to be on the practice squad for
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay than New England is paying Cam Newton to
Speaker 1: be their starting quarterback. Also, Am Schefter reporting the Saints
Speaker 1: and Alvin Kimara are very close to a lucrative extension
Speaker 1: and they hope to finalize that before Thursday night. Kimara
Speaker 1: gonna get fifteen million dollars, like he wants McCaffrey money.
Speaker 1: But do I want to spend that that second go
Speaker 1: round with a running back. I just I get nervous
Speaker 1: about doing that. But Cheft says they're close to a
Speaker 1: new extension. Yampolo, I'm you know, we're against signing running
Speaker 1: backs paying running backs with the second contract. Do you
Speaker 1: think though that the Saints are thinking, we have a
Speaker 1: super Bowl team this year, we may have to eat
Speaker 1: this one that we normally wouldn't pay a running back
Speaker 1: and give him big dough. But you need him if
Speaker 1: you're going to win this super Bowl this year. I know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know how long because if Drew Brees
Speaker 1: is not going to be there. I like Kimara and
Speaker 1: he doesn't have as much wear and teary, but he
Speaker 1: is coming off an injury season last year. He's really valuable.
Speaker 1: But I loved him when had mark Ingram there and
Speaker 1: I could use him as you know, they had a
Speaker 1: little change in speed when he came in or usage,
Speaker 1: you know Ingram was straight ahead. Kamara was the elusive
Speaker 1: running back, just using him every down. Now, look, even
Speaker 1: with Carolina, with McCaffrey as great as he is, you
Speaker 1: don't win with your running back. And this is going
Speaker 1: to be a wasted year for Christian McCaffrey. Right. It's
Speaker 1: like Sequon Barkley, like you're gonna go okay. I mean
Speaker 1: he had nice numbers, but it's just not gonna matter
Speaker 1: theah mclub. I mean, is Christian McCaffrey building a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame career with these dual numbers? Well, I have
Speaker 1: to look at I guess I have to measure him
Speaker 1: with Marshall Falk Like, isn't he the pre eminent dual
Speaker 1: thread out of the backfield. Yeah? But if your team
Speaker 1: doesn't win at all, though, can you even well, we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't judge running backs that way. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't hold it against Eric Dickerson or Barry Sanders. I mean,
Speaker 1: Walter won a Super Bowl, Emmett won three, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there any other position on the football
Speaker 1: team other than quarterback? Where you go, how many Super
Speaker 1: Bowls did you win? We don't even do that with
Speaker 1: everyday players in baseball, but we do it with pitchers,
Speaker 1: which is strange. But they can take over a game,
Speaker 1: they can take over a series. They can almost single
Speaker 1: handedly win you a playoff or series or World Series NBA.
Speaker 1: We do it with our marquee players. You know, I
Speaker 1: do think we're gonna when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: we will have missed out on the greatness of Clayton
Speaker 1: Kershaw because we are judging him on the postseason, and
Speaker 1: I know that he's had failures there, but he is
Speaker 1: putting together one of the great regular season resumes in
Speaker 1: baseball history. But you know that's the problem. I have
Speaker 1: to qualify it by saying it's the regular season. It's
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning was the best regular season quarterback of
Speaker 1: all time in my opinion, but then you throw in postseason.
Speaker 1: Greg Maddox was the greatest regular season pitcher of all time.
Speaker 1: But then you have to throw in Yeah, but what
Speaker 1: about the postseason? Yeah, mclub Bill Belichick kind of ruined
Speaker 1: Peyton and Philip rivers this legacy a little bit in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, everyone wh would want Clayton Kershaw's career.
Speaker 1: He's going first ballot to all of the the Fame. But
Speaker 1: you may want Kurt Schilling's career. I don't think he
Speaker 1: ever won a cy young. He was a very good
Speaker 1: regular season pitcher, but never the best. And but he's
Speaker 1: eleven and two in the postseason, he's got a World
Speaker 1: Series MVP. I think he's got three rings. Kurt Schilling postseason,
Speaker 1: he's lights out. Yeah, And but you wouldn't want his
Speaker 1: regular season career. Well, if you say, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a toughie, it is because Schilling is remembered for his postseason,
Speaker 1: whereas it feels like Clayton Kershaw is remembered for his
Speaker 1: postseason and for different reasons there. But Kershaw's numbers freakishly great,
Speaker 1: and it was always the standard bearer of a like
Speaker 1: a six or seven year window with Sandy Koufax. And
Speaker 1: then Pedro came along, and I don't think we gave him,
Speaker 1: you know, fair acknowledgment of just how great he was
Speaker 1: doing it in the steroid era, in that ballpark, in
Speaker 1: the American League East, it was a phenomenal And now
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw and he has I don't know what he found,
Speaker 1: but he found a little zip on his fastball and
Speaker 1: he's pitching great. Unbelievable, I wondered. The last time the
Speaker 1: Yankees lost fourteen of nineteen wasn't that long ago? It
Speaker 1: was twenty seventeen. They still won ninety one games and
Speaker 1: got within a game of reaching the World Series, lost
Speaker 1: to the Astros. The trash can banging Astros. In two thousand,
Speaker 1: the Yankees lost fifteen of their last nineteen games in
Speaker 1: the regular season, went on to win the World Series.
Speaker 1: Thank you Ethan for that. But the Yankees can't afford
Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs this year where everybody makes the playoffs. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's not real playoffs this year, so this one doesn't count.
Speaker 1: Doesn't really matter. You know. Another thing that drives me
Speaker 1: crazy about baseball exit velocity, like when a guy hits
Speaker 1: a ball and the exit velocity, like, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't care how hard he hits it. I want to
Speaker 1: know how often he hits it if you're exit like
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez. Gary Sanchez once a week has a real
Speaker 1: high exit velocity and then he strikes out every other time.
Speaker 1: You should be there when it happens, though, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: listening to Michael kay Do the Yankee broadcay his exit velocity,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't care. Apparently has problems with the
Speaker 1: entry velocity because he has no exit velocity there. I
Speaker 1: mentioned this last hour that Novak Djokovic was asked to
Speaker 1: leave the US Open. He smacked a ball in frustration
Speaker 1: that ended up hitting the line judge in the neck,
Speaker 1: and there's been some debate whether or not he should
Speaker 1: have gotten ejected, but the rules are clear. I guess
Speaker 1: the only reason why there was a debate is because
Speaker 1: the US Open desperately needs Djokovic. This year, Roger Federer
Speaker 1: Rafanadal didn't make the trip to Queens for the tournament.
Speaker 1: This will be the first time in sixteen years that
Speaker 1: one of those three wasn't represented in a quarter final
Speaker 1: of a Grand Slam. The casual American fan is left
Speaker 1: with basically nothing on the men's side, and most of
Speaker 1: us probably can't name a single player in the quarterfinals.
Speaker 1: I know there's a Medvedev in there, and that's all
Speaker 1: I know. A couple of decades ago that wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: The American men were actually a serious presence. Now there's
Speaker 1: no one. At least we knew Djokovic and the daw
Speaker 1: and feder But this is a sport that needs some
Speaker 1: fresh blood and maybe djokovic brutal mistake will end up
Speaker 1: giving somebody a chance to elevate. You know, they're stardom
Speaker 1: in a sport that really needs some stars. But I'm
Speaker 1: watching that and it happens so quickly, and I know
Speaker 1: Djokovic didn't try to do it on purpose, but it
Speaker 1: ended up hitting her in the line, judge, in the throat.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we you know, we judge how
Speaker 1: Let's say the ball whizzes buyer doesn't hit her. Now
Speaker 1: she went down quickly, but are are we judging how
Speaker 1: much pain she was in? If the ball goes right
Speaker 1: over her head? Do we throw out Djokovic? And the
Speaker 1: answer is no, But it was an accident. I know
Speaker 1: that he was angry and he was warned about this,
Speaker 1: like in twenty sixteen, that your temper is going to
Speaker 1: come back and really her and he got up set
Speaker 1: when he was asked about this. I think that this
Speaker 1: is something that's been coming and maybe it's cumulatio if
Speaker 1: I don't know, But when I watched it, it happened,
Speaker 1: and I go, wait, did he just hit the line
Speaker 1: judge in the throat? And then he immediately ran over
Speaker 1: to her to check on her. But the only reason
Speaker 1: why there was a debate was because Djokovic is the
Speaker 1: draw there is. There's nobody else, And I wonder if
Speaker 1: the fans, so you have a packed house with New
Speaker 1: Yorkers there, you would have had a packed house and
Speaker 1: they would have been screaming, and you're paying that money
Speaker 1: to go see Djokovic play tennis. Nobody else you're watching him.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they would have tossed him, Yes, mclan
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't have done that if he had a crowd,
Speaker 1: because he kind of hit it towards the crowd. You know,
Speaker 1: he was thought he was in an empty stadium. I
Speaker 1: think in a way. Yeah, did you guys think you
Speaker 1: should have been tossed for that? Todd? I was surprised
Speaker 1: he got to thrown out, But again it's the whole playing.
Speaker 1: How serious was she hurt and which it shouldn't be
Speaker 1: the case. There's either a rule for it or not.
Speaker 1: But because she seemed relatively okay and wasn't I don't
Speaker 1: think rushed to the hospital or anything, I was surprised,
Speaker 1: especially the number one tennis player in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but should I judge whether I throw you out on
Speaker 1: the severity of your injury? Ultimately it shouldn't be that way.
Speaker 1: But in that moment I was surprised that he was.
Speaker 1: What if she got hit in the shoulder, what if
Speaker 1: she got hit in the leg? Well, the more then
Speaker 1: even more likely that you wouldn't get to get kicked out. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: isn't that kind of the way all punishments are doled
Speaker 1: out though a lot of times, I mean, yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of times, Lady, hit somebody with your car, it's
Speaker 1: an accident. If you hit somebody with your car and
Speaker 1: kill them, it's you know, vehicular manslaughter or something, it's
Speaker 1: a totally different crime with the exact same act. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we would do that with hockey as well. That
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes if somebody was going to be out
Speaker 1: concussion or you know, they had a Marty McSorley a
Speaker 1: situation there. Uh, you know, then we almost judge the
Speaker 1: severity of your injury. Yeah. Point. But by his reaction,
Speaker 1: it appeared pretty clear that he didn't mean to hurt
Speaker 1: this person, so it was an accident. He hit it
Speaker 1: too hard, he hit her and she went down. But
Speaker 1: if you're the lines judge or the official who's running
Speaker 1: the match who kicked out Djokovic, you have to see
Speaker 1: in the moment it doesn't appear that he did it
Speaker 1: on purpose. He wasn't arguing with some type of side
Speaker 1: official and did it towards them, targeting them. Hence accident,
Speaker 1: and you leave him in the in the game, in
Speaker 1: the match. But if I if I hit you in
Speaker 1: the head with a baseball and I accidentally hit you
Speaker 1: in the head with a basis. Okay, if what if
Speaker 1: his next serve hit the person in the neck because
Speaker 1: it was going one hundred and twenty eight miles an
Speaker 1: hour or whatever it is, and he hit someone during
Speaker 1: the match, it's the same act. The person's getting hit
Speaker 1: and they went down and they didn't get up. But
Speaker 1: they're not waiting for you to hit a tennis ball
Speaker 1: at that point, right. They know when you serve, they
Speaker 1: have to be on their toes. She wasn't expecting that
Speaker 1: ball to be headed in her direction and therefore that's
Speaker 1: why she got hit in the throat. Yeah, I'm a club, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm reading the rule. It says basically, if you intentionally
Speaker 1: hit a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court, or
Speaker 1: hit a ball with negligent disregard of the consequences. So
Speaker 1: that's that explains why a serve would be different. Yeah, yes, time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought after hearing that, like, what about a significant
Speaker 1: fine and then some type of public apology acknowledging that
Speaker 1: he's got to do something to control his temper or
Speaker 1: something something other than that, it's all over for him.
Speaker 1: He cannot continue competing in the US Open because at
Speaker 1: that moment. This is going to cost him two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty seven thousand dollars, So he's been fined an
Speaker 1: additional seventy five hundred. He skipped the postmatch news conference,
Speaker 1: so that's seventy five hundred. There the infraction is listed.
Speaker 1: The minimum fine is twenty thousand dollars. Also, he can
Speaker 1: be fine for an sportsmanlike conduct. Earlier was told he
Speaker 1: had to pay ten thousand dollars from that violation. And
Speaker 1: then those two finds, in addition to losing twenty two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars in prize money for making
Speaker 1: it to the fourth round of the US Open, he
Speaker 1: has made one hundred and forty million dollars in prize
Speaker 1: money over his career. But yeah, see, don't you think
Speaker 1: it's crazy that they already had a rule in place
Speaker 1: for that? How random? Like? How did they already Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, was there a problem with this back
Speaker 1: in the eighties of people just randomly, you know, firing
Speaker 1: shots off at different people or something. But what was
Speaker 1: serena fine when she threatened to shove a tennis ball
Speaker 1: down somebody's throat? She did not do that though she didn't,
Speaker 1: but she threatened to do that. That was worse than
Speaker 1: what Djokovic did, right, So the threat has intent. You know,
Speaker 1: she knew what she's saying, But that line, Jose, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be like the eighth highest paid players on tour
Speaker 1: this year once this lawsuits guest time and managers and
Speaker 1: plans get thrown out all the time in baseball. McEnroe
Speaker 1: and some of the fits that the tennis plans have
Speaker 1: thrown over the years, and some of the disrespectful acts.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd be surprised that none of them got
Speaker 1: tossed in the middle of the match. Well with McEnroe didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't get tossed when he gave that. You cannot
Speaker 1: be serious the question, jerk. Yeah, they needed him, yes, mclove.
Speaker 1: But he got tossed, they were saying yesterday in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety Australian Open, he smashed a racket ed, went after
Speaker 1: the judge after getting a warning. He was the last
Speaker 1: guy in this situation. Is it amazing that he didn't
Speaker 1: get tossed more? Oh man, Yeah, all right, let me
Speaker 1: take a break. I got phone calls coming up, best
Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend. We'll take a break. Nineteen

Speaker 1: it's gonna get uglier in the Big Ten. State political
Speaker 1: leaders from around the Midwest wrote a letter to the
Speaker 1: Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren, asking for the league to
Speaker 1: reconsider its decision to postpone fall sports. Yeah. I just
Speaker 1: think there's too much of a divide here. I just
Speaker 1: can't see it happening. And if you're not going to
Speaker 1: get started a month from this Saturday, I just don't
Speaker 1: think you're going to be able to pull anything off here.
Speaker 1: And understand that you have the Michigan teams, even though
Speaker 1: there's high school football in Michigan. So I was told Michigan,
Speaker 1: Michigan State right now won't be playing Maryland, wouldn't be
Speaker 1: playing Illinois, Northwestern won't be playing Rutgers, won't be playing.
Speaker 1: That doesn't leave you with much and are you going
Speaker 1: to have a four You're gonna have an eight game schedule. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And a lot of teams start up this week. I
Speaker 1: think there's forty Division one football games this week and
Speaker 1: Texas is playing, Clemson is playing, Oklahoma is playing. You
Speaker 1: can keep going. Florida State, Duke, Notre Dame, Iowa State,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Ranked teams are starting to play this weekend.
Speaker 1: And you get tested on Friday, so you won't know
Speaker 1: until Saturday if you're a coach who is going to play.
Speaker 1: At least I was told that this morning by a source.
Speaker 1: You get tested on Friday and then you're playing on
Speaker 1: Saturday in most of these cases. All right, some phone
Speaker 1: calls here Jake and Buffalo. Hey Jake, good morning. Best
Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend, HEYDP. I wanted to give
Speaker 1: you best and weirdest of the weekend and offer a
Speaker 1: shower of shame bet for you and the Dana WHOA.
Speaker 1: My best of the weekend is the Bills finally having
Speaker 1: a competent front office and extended Trey White. Nice to
Speaker 1: see us keeping around talent for once. The weirdest of
Speaker 1: the weekend Sunday, Joe West paused the National's Braves game
Speaker 1: to call security to have Mike Rizzo ejected from a
Speaker 1: suite in the third deck. I think that's the first
Speaker 1: and the shower of shame. Bet okay. I bet that
Speaker 1: the Bills will win the AFC East and do something
Speaker 1: that they haven't done since nineteen ninety five in a
Speaker 1: playoff game. That's not a stretch there for a shower
Speaker 1: of shane there that if you say two wins, Jake,
Speaker 1: then you might get a taker there on shower shape.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do two wins. Yes, I saw that
Speaker 1: Joe West headline. Is that the same Joe West that
Speaker 1: I grew up with. He's still he won't go away.
Speaker 1: I didn't know he had the authority to throw out
Speaker 1: somebody who's in the stands. Thanks for the phone, called
Speaker 1: Jake um. And then Joe West is yelling at Rizzo
Speaker 1: because he didn't have a mask on. But then Joe
Speaker 1: West was wearing his mask, but he didn't even cover
Speaker 1: up his entire mouth and nose. He didn't even wear
Speaker 1: it correctly. But he tosses the GM of the Nationals
Speaker 1: yes time. Supposedly he was in the sweethold by himself,
Speaker 1: which didn't make sense. I Pubrey got tossed because he
Speaker 1: was yelling inappropriate. Thing was yelling, but the mask thing.
Speaker 1: Supposedly there was no one else except for him in
Speaker 1: the whole sweets. I don't think it was that big
Speaker 1: a def You didn't have a mask, Joe West. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: there was years ago in two thousand and one and
Speaker 1: umpire ejected the organ player when the organ player at
Speaker 1: a baseball game played three blind mice after a bad call.
Speaker 1: He actually yah the organ player. Yeah. See, Joe West
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to mind some attention. No, he loves some attention.
Speaker 1: He didn't mind make it sure everybody knows he's out
Speaker 1: there on the field. The NFL will use pumped in
Speaker 1: crowd noise this season, described as quote league curated audio,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, League curated audio. They're gonna be at Bonnaroo.
Speaker 1: I think awesome man. Yeah, League curated audio, Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: So they just mixed stuff from the past years. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's a mixtape. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Polly wants to change his
Speaker 1: Best and Worst of the Weekend, Dan. I forgot something
Speaker 1: that I heard the other day for Best of the weekend.
Speaker 1: You know John Sterling, the play by play man for
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. He was discussing what a difficult
Speaker 1: year it was, access to the players and talking to
Speaker 1: the managers, et cetera, et cetera, and he dropped this
Speaker 1: during the game. Was obviously a crazy year for us,
Speaker 1: and that we have no intercourse at all with the
Speaker 1: manager of the players. I guess he meant discourse, interaction,
Speaker 1: I think interaction, I think interaction, or he meant when
Speaker 1: he met Well, let's hear it one more time. Here
Speaker 1: was obviously a crazy year for us, and that we
Speaker 1: have no intercourse at all with the manager of the
Speaker 1: players myself, unlike last year. You know, Susan Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: Here's the two two oh. So that type of intimacy
Speaker 1: exists in a non pandemic year. Who who knew? Well?
Speaker 1: Yankee family? They ever switch? I still love the A
Speaker 1: rod one what they bomb from a Rod? No the
Speaker 1: greatest year of his or any buddy's light, Alex Rodriguez, ever,
Speaker 1: the greatest month of his or any other light. Warren
Speaker 1: Bumpett probably had a better month. We're guessing. I was
Speaker 1: thinking the other day, you have Jones and left and
Speaker 1: each a row and right, and you've got twenty gold
Speaker 1: gloves between the two of them. Yes, sir, Yes ma'am,
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, ma'am. Of course, the gift that keeps giving,
Speaker 1: you know, Susan anyway, My favorite is listening to them,
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll like Susan Walter and will give like
Speaker 1: the most amazing in depth stat you've ever heard, and
Speaker 1: they'll be five seconds of dead air and he'll just
Speaker 1: go anyway, Jeter like one. He didn't even acknowledge what
Speaker 1: he just said. His non sequiturs are spectacular, because let
Speaker 1: me see if I have a stat for you here. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see if Ethan sent me something here. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I have anything that like jumps out. Crazy.
Speaker 1: Lou Brock, who just passed away, was about getting on
Speaker 1: base scoring runs in the light bulb era. He was
Speaker 1: one of five players to score at least fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: runs while hitting fewer than one hundred and fifty home runs.
Speaker 1: And here's the two two due, here's the two two anyway,
Speaker 1: h lou Brock, Hey, gentleman, good man, that's when you
Speaker 1: know you got on base. You stole basses back in
Speaker 1: my day. They used to steal bases. Now, Luke Baseball
Speaker 1: wouldn't know what to do with Lou Brock. Maybe, like Lou,
Speaker 1: I mean, Colon, you're hitting singles here, what's your exit
Speaker 1: velocity here? It's nice you're stealing bases, but you gotta
Speaker 1: help us win games here. Ricky Henderson, you know, we
Speaker 1: can say greatest leadoff hitter of all time, you know,
Speaker 1: because he hit home runs. I think the one stat
Speaker 1: which it sounds strange to say this, but I think
Speaker 1: Ricky Henderson led off a game with a home run
Speaker 1: like something like seventy eight times. Does that Maybe I'm
Speaker 1: totally mate. I don't know. For some reason, I thought
Speaker 1: Ricky had this incredible amount of home runs leading off
Speaker 1: a game. Lou Brock was a better hitter. Lou had
Speaker 1: three thousand hits, hit two ninety three. Ricky hit two
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Eighty one. Eighty one home runs to lead
Speaker 1: off a game, is right, PAULI, Yeah, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I gotta double check the career history. But eighty one
Speaker 1: leadoff home runs for Rick Henderson. Other guys like Alfonso
Speaker 1: Soriano had fifty four, Bigio, Craig Bsio fifty three. No
Speaker 1: one's really that close, it's amazing eighty one? So what
Speaker 1: percentage of his home runs were hit in the first inning?
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna guess Ricky had three hundred home runs.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have him as two hundred and ninety seven
Speaker 1: home runs eighty five days. Probably twenty twenty eight percent
Speaker 1: of his home runs leadoff home runs? Yea, Ethan? Yeah, WHOA, sorry,
Speaker 1: I think that, Ethan. Uh, yes, we clove it. Well,
Speaker 1: that kind of makes sense if he gets up four
Speaker 1: times in a game, about a quarter of his home
Speaker 1: runs or leadoff. Oh, so that that's not an impressive stint.
Speaker 1: Not exactly. If he had three hundred home runs, he
Speaker 1: should have hit eighty of them out of the one spot.
Speaker 1: The first head of that. I have to seath in
Speaker 1: at this. Okay, I'm gonna get all the numbers he hit.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like an amazing stat. Let off eighty
Speaker 1: one games with a home run. I didn't know he
Speaker 1: had three hundred home runs. What's more amazing that Ricky
Speaker 1: did that? Or Polly got the right percentage the ladder, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you got the right percent
Speaker 1: It was twenty seven point three percent, and I said
Speaker 1: twenty percent off the top man, So you were wrong.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. You were close for me that to win.
Speaker 1: Kyle in California. Hi, Kyle, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: Best and best to best? My trout passing Tim Salmon
Speaker 1: All time Angels home run list. I always found it admirable.
Speaker 1: Tim Salmon ended on two hundred ninety nine career home runs.
Speaker 1: Kind of cool. Other bestador launching Russell west for keep
Speaker 1: chucking up through keep them coming. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: He can keep shooting him all day long. Oh, I
Speaker 1: know it's good. That's why it's must see TV because
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep doing what they do and if they
Speaker 1: do it right, they're gonna win, and if they don't,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go down in flames. But the supporting cast
Speaker 1: and you know, has to be present for the some
Speaker 1: of these teams to move forward. And it's one thing
Speaker 1: if Harden and Westbrook play well, but you know, in
Speaker 1: the first game they had the supporting cast helped out considerably. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm the club. Do you see Todd declare the Nuggets
Speaker 1: the game three winner on our text chain last night?
Speaker 1: That was I don't read those text chains. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: like after the Nuggets jump up here two one, and
Speaker 1: then they went The Clippers went on like a twenty
Speaker 1: over run. Right after he said it, Oh, I did
Speaker 1: see that. I was like, oh wow, I was with him.
Speaker 1: I thought the Nuggets were gonna win that game. I
Speaker 1: you know, they Paul George played well. You know, they
Speaker 1: came back from the deficit the second a half, came
Speaker 1: back to win. Him. I don't I don't get inspired
Speaker 1: watching the Clippers, like I'm still waiting for greatness. Occasionally
Speaker 1: we've seen Paul George and Kauai played well together, but
Speaker 1: they we still keep waiting for them to put it
Speaker 1: all together and they still have time. But you know,
Speaker 1: you kind of flirt with danger. Now. They did that
Speaker 1: in Dallas in that series. They flirted with danger. Uh yes, Todd, No,
Speaker 1: you said it before. We were waiting for the same
Speaker 1: old Clippers. It's just waiting on the tip of our
Speaker 1: tongue for them to ultimately tease us into some greatness
Speaker 1: and they're gonna fall just short somehow in dramatic fashion.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd. The Greek freaki, this is what happens
Speaker 1: when you don't raise your head. If I have a parrot,
Speaker 1: I would call him Fritzie or Todd with one D.
Speaker 1: That's not like you just said a two seconds I
Speaker 1: was referring back to something you said like weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers are gonna be good. I think
Speaker 1: when Paul George and Quielenard play well cruel that is
Speaker 1: just it's cruel and usual punishment on a Tuesday that
Speaker 1: feels like a Monday full and usual punishment. Yes, that
Speaker 1: is true. Yeah, in defense of Todd, he didn't raise
Speaker 1: his hand. He leaned into his microphone. So then I
Speaker 1: spotted him and I called on. I still felt comfortable
Speaker 1: saying I didn't hop on you that time. Wow, Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: I don't think what I was referring back you would
Speaker 1: had just said like, oh wait, yes, had just said,
Speaker 1: like second minutes ago, the Clippers they're ultimating a trip up,
Speaker 1: same old. But this was like I was anyway, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, Todd. Uh Jeff and Detroit joins us on
Speaker 1: the program. Good morning, Jeff, Good morning Dan, and Fellas.
Speaker 1: I had a wonderful weekend. Best once. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to get a lot of it there. My niece just
Speaker 1: got married, which is like my daughter don't have kids,
Speaker 1: so we're having a girl as well as me going
Speaker 1: to various barbecues, sports all over the place. I saw
Speaker 1: friends from everywhere, and my name Snacks was resurrected by
Speaker 1: a couple of my old co workers. Thank you, Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1: Worst for the weekend is gonna be the coach Malone
Speaker 1: from the Nuggets complaining about them not having a family
Speaker 1: in the bubble. Coaches don't have family in the bubble,
Speaker 1: and I did not know that. And as I sat
Speaker 1: there and looked at the Nuggets and Clippers, I could
Speaker 1: only think some of the la work on the sideline,
Speaker 1: but the players and what's going down? Man? You guys
Speaker 1: gonna do him like that for real? And last, but
Speaker 1: not least, twelve fifteen background breakfast hook up with the
Speaker 1: onion Bagel Bagel for Nagel, shout out the Lord. Listen,
Speaker 1: you guys are really really funny. I love the show Man.
Speaker 1: Keep it moving, brother happening, Thank you, Jeff. I saw
Speaker 1: where Lebron Shames says that his kids don't want to
Speaker 1: go to Orlando because the park's not open, and Lebron
Speaker 1: said that I got a sixteen year old. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's gonna sit in the bubble and do what I
Speaker 1: got a thirteen year old, he's gonna do what I
Speaker 1: have a five year old girl. There's nothing for her
Speaker 1: to do. The park isn't open. I mean, there's only
Speaker 1: so many times she can go to the pool. My
Speaker 1: kids are too adventurous and they love to do so
Speaker 1: much stuff. I get it. Yeah, I thought the park
Speaker 1: would be open or that you know, there would be
Speaker 1: some kind of accommodations there. But you know they can't
Speaker 1: do it. Here's another stat that I saw. This is
Speaker 1: a tweet. Tom Brady has been favored in seventy four
Speaker 1: consecutive regular season games. That's the longest streak in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl era, per ESPN stats Info. He will be
Speaker 1: an underdog this weekend, Week two of the twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: season at Buffalo. The current line is the Buccaneers are
Speaker 1: three and a half point their dogs against the Saints.
Speaker 1: Stat of the day, Sat of the day, That beast
Speaker 1: stat of the day. Stat of the day. He comes
Speaker 1: that what stat of the day? I also saw a story.
Speaker 1: It was Greg Bdard. I think it's Boston Sports Journal.
Speaker 1: Does that sound right? McLevin. Yeah, used to be with
Speaker 1: the Boston Glow and Sorts Illustrated and he had an
Speaker 1: article where he said, you know, like there was almost
Speaker 1: like this sense of relief that Brady was leaving the
Speaker 1: building that they needed needed a change, sort of the
Speaker 1: you know that Brady was not happy and him being
Speaker 1: out of the building and new energy coming in with
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I'm like, all right, careful, what jazz for there?
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, Tom's a bummer man. I just wanted
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that was decent. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he was asking too much. We're sick of his Brady's attitude.
Speaker 1: We're sick of playing games in January. He stands a
Speaker 1: season a year. Maybe he wanted Bill Belichick to say
Speaker 1: something nice about him. Bill said nicer things about Cam
Speaker 1: Newton in the last month than he said in the
Speaker 1: last five years about Tom Brady. What if this doesn't
Speaker 1: work out and it crashes spectacularly, That's when I want
Speaker 1: to know. When everybody goes to a neutral corner, how
Speaker 1: do they feel about all of this? Yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of narrative Twitter tweets on this that if
Speaker 1: Cam is good, teams like the Chicago Bears that didn't
Speaker 1: pay four million dollars for him and it's got Nick
Speaker 1: Foles are going to be beating themselves up, so like
Speaker 1: Cam being good would cause a lot of ripples. I
Speaker 1: don't get that. Like you bringing Nick Foles and he
Speaker 1: can't beat out Mitchell Trubisky. That's bad. Now you have
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, they have attached themselves to Mitchell Trubisky,
Speaker 1: who you didn't even give a contract extension too. If
Speaker 1: that was the case, why not go all in on
Speaker 1: Trubisky and get a backup. You don't have to spend
Speaker 1: this money on Is Nick Foles costing them? Did they
Speaker 1: inherit the twenty million dollars a year contract from Jacksonville? Man,
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Man. Good for Mitchell Trubisky to
Speaker 1: get another chance here, but did I gotta believe they
Speaker 1: are less expensive backup? I would look at Josh Rosen
Speaker 1: and go, okay, he's gonna cost me a couple of
Speaker 1: million dollars. Maybe there's upside there. He's young, But you're
Speaker 1: bringing Nick Foles and then he can't meet out Mitchell Trubisky. Yeah, McLean,
Speaker 1: I'm reading that they got him for three years, twenty
Speaker 1: four million, twenty one guaranteed. He probably won't be there
Speaker 1: after this year. Bright caught him all right, take a break.
Speaker 1: Last call for phone calls back after this. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern
Speaker 1: six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you
Speaker 1: can find us on the irt Radio app at FSR
Speaker 1: or stream us live on the Peacock app. I read
Speaker 1: the Jim Morrison biography and I found it fascinating, but
Speaker 1: the music is just okay for me. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It became too much about Jim Morrison and not necessarily
Speaker 1: about the music. It felt like, but I not. I'm
Speaker 1: not the biggest Hendricks fan either, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just I kind of listen and I go, okay.
Speaker 1: I appreciate Hendricks, but it's not music that I seek out.
Speaker 1: If it comes on, I'll listen Doors. Same way, yes, book,
Speaker 1: how much is the Doors music boosted if you believe
Speaker 1: it is by their lead singer dying early? It does
Speaker 1: that to a lot of bands, But how much but
Speaker 1: the Doors specifically, I wouldn't. I wouldn't know how to
Speaker 1: calculate that, but I do think there was a fascination
Speaker 1: with that. And then he's buried in a you know,
Speaker 1: cemetery outside of Paris, and I would say with Nirvana,
Speaker 1: their legacy is also boosted. But I thought they were
Speaker 1: great before Kurt Cobaine died, so I don't think it's
Speaker 1: revisioned a history that Nirvana was fantastic. Yeah. Sometimes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Paul's right. Sometimes bands are lucky that they
Speaker 1: don't stay around long enough to stink. You know, you
Speaker 1: don't have like that, you know, three album run that
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I remember when they did those three
Speaker 1: terrible albums like some bands have that they are stay
Speaker 1: around so long that they have different eras, like the
Speaker 1: good one than the really terrible one. Then they come
Speaker 1: back and I'm like, oh, there we go. That sounds
Speaker 1: like what they used to be. Like that's good. So
Speaker 1: there you go. That's that's the motto, you know, die
Speaker 1: young and then your music and your band will live
Speaker 1: on forever. Not advising you to do that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I didn't get the doors we were talking
Speaker 1: about John Sterling. Can we play that John Sterling cut again?
Speaker 1: Was obviously a crazy year for us, and that we
Speaker 1: have no ind ofcourse at all with the manager of
Speaker 1: the players. So Josh Garrett, a senior Systems engineer just
Speaker 1: sent in from Marion Webster Dictionary that intercourse can mean
Speaker 1: communication between persons or groups, which might be true, Josh,
Speaker 1: but how many of us thought something different instead of
Speaker 1: like interaction with the manager. You don't hear that too
Speaker 1: often without thinking something else. Of course, our minds are
Speaker 1: in the gutter. Speaking of which, we were just talking
Speaker 1: about Sports Illustrated party that we went to a few
Speaker 1: years back. I don't know how many years ago that was,
Speaker 1: but Chris Evert was there. And Chris Evert, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the great female tennis players, great tennis players,
Speaker 1: very famous, and I had been a rounder, I had
Speaker 1: interviewed her, and then we just got to talking and
Speaker 1: she looked great, you know, cocktail hour, and we started flirting,
Speaker 1: and I mean not real flirting, but then it felt
Speaker 1: like she was really flirting like I. And then I
Speaker 1: was like I turned red at one point. And then
Speaker 1: you guys came over, and then you realized that this
Speaker 1: was on form. It was like Kelly RiPP and Ryan,
Speaker 1: you guys are just finishing our sentences, having fun, chatting up,
Speaker 1: eating crab cakes. Yeah, but we were feeding each other too,
Speaker 1: and that was what. Oh and then did she say
Speaker 1: something when she left, and it's something like, I don't
Speaker 1: I want to be fair to her. She very she
Speaker 1: was very nice. I gotta be careful too. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like just playful back and forth. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: we're volleying. We're volleying, you know, a little a little
Speaker 1: sweet drop shots is what we were doing. Like you
Speaker 1: wanted to turn your Mica. You probably should. This show
Speaker 1: should have ended about four minutes earlier. Yes, mclovin. That
Speaker 1: being said, you had a little comedy routine with Eli
Speaker 1: Manning like ten minutes before that too. That was the
Speaker 1: same year anything where you guys were doing a stand
Speaker 1: up routine. It wasn't exactly the same, But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying if I was single and Chris Evert I think
Speaker 1: was single, then we probably would have gone into the
Speaker 1: second round of the US Open. This thing is on,
Speaker 1: isn't it. This day in sports history, PAULI, when you
Speaker 1: have nineteen six herschel Walker made his first start for
Speaker 1: the NFL after leaving the New Jersey Generals of the
Speaker 1: USFL with the Cowboys, and this day in sports TV history,
Speaker 1: eminem gets in the booth at a college football primetime
Speaker 1: game with the kirkherp Street and the great Brent Musburger,
Speaker 1: who doesn't remember that matters, just the fact that Brent
Speaker 1: probably had no idea who Eminem was, but he kept
Speaker 1: he'd be like, he didn't call him. Eminem's like Marshall,
Speaker 1: and you could tell where M and M is just
Speaker 1: staring at him, and he was excited to be in
Speaker 1: the booth, but I think he was sort of putting
Speaker 1: on a show there, an act, and he had this
Speaker 1: look on his face of shock when Brent was asking
Speaker 1: him questions, Marshall, when's the new album drop? All right? Mothers, Brent,
Speaker 1: who do you like in Florida State? Florida? I'm taking
Speaker 1: the points. What a treasure? What a treasure he is? Yes,
Speaker 1: Ton nothing. I was gonna give you what we learned.
Speaker 1: Oh what did you learn? Peter King, who was not
Speaker 1: a weed head as Lions and Raiders as a surprise
Speaker 1: playoff teams Bucks over Ravens for the Super Bowl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Peter King saying he smoked a doobie with the Doobie
Speaker 1: Brothers back in college. McLevin shocker, seems at Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: have mismanaged your quarterback position. Seaton O'Connor cruel and usual punishment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's new Paullie, Peter Weedhead King. What we learned brought
