Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to The Dan Patrick Show, bringing you
Speaker 1: the biggest guests and best interviews. We're talking to Andrew
Speaker 1: Brant the Monday morning quarterback compliment. If Jamal Adams called
Speaker 1: you for advice today, what would you tell you? Once
Speaker 1: you get to trade demands, then you're not talking. Then
Speaker 1: it's kind of like baseball. Then you're just kind of
Speaker 1: in the corners, you know, can we get to a contract?
Speaker 1: And not having said for two years waiting for that
Speaker 1: to happen, fucking a pull, fine bomb and the mother ship.
Speaker 1: If you ran Oklahoma Stage so athletic program, what would
Speaker 1: you do? I would get rid of it? Really well
Speaker 1: known for one thing, Dan, he became a memorable speech.
Speaker 1: I'm forty and I'm a man. He's fifty now and
Speaker 1: he's a buffoon. Broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cave. This
Speaker 1: is Dan Patrick. Hope you had a great weekend. Gangs
Speaker 1: all here ready to go, a lot of topics to
Speaker 1: dive into. We'll talk to the Commissioner of the SEC,
Speaker 1: Greg Sanky. He'll join us coming up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler will stop by in the final hour of
Speaker 1: the program. We'll talk to Nick Wright from Fox Sports.
Speaker 1: Your phone calls are always welcome. Best and worst of
Speaker 1: the weekend, which is saw that you liked you didn't
Speaker 1: like from over the weekend? Eight seven seven three DP
Speaker 1: Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 1: handle at DP show. Say good morning to chat row
Speaker 1: those watching on YouTube dot com, slash The Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 1: and of course listening on our great radio affiliates around
Speaker 1: the country numbering three hundred and sixty two. College football
Speaker 1: world was shook over the weekend by reports of positive
Speaker 1: coronavirus test throughout the nation. And you look at the
Speaker 1: two teams that met in the national title game less
Speaker 1: than six months ago. LSU had to quarantine thirty players.
Speaker 1: Clemson had over twenty players who tested positive. I don't
Speaker 1: know if anybody was hospitalized, but that's been the story
Speaker 1: all over as players reach turned to facilities, putting the
Speaker 1: game of football side. Though. You hope everybody's okay in
Speaker 1: a situation like this, and with the college sports debate
Speaker 1: coming on the heels of the COVID nineteen impact, get
Speaker 1: ready for the sports media to dip its toes into
Speaker 1: medical waters that they're not used to and it's dangerous
Speaker 1: to do it. College football has an extra layer of
Speaker 1: intrigue though this year, players are finding voices in a
Speaker 1: number of areas and hopefully that'll lead to a new
Speaker 1: way in determining if they're going to feel safe. We
Speaker 1: saw this with UCLA. Some of their players were uncertain
Speaker 1: about Chip Kelly. I think they walk that back a
Speaker 1: little bit. But we would love to see college football
Speaker 1: go off without a hitch. But to do that, the
Speaker 1: sport that doesn't always have strong leadership at the top
Speaker 1: has to step up and be smart in the coming
Speaker 1: weeks and months. And that's why we wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to Greg Sanky of the SEC because this is going
Speaker 1: to happen and you start wonder, is is this sort
Speaker 1: of the strategy of Hey, these kids are going to
Speaker 1: test positive and let's get it out of the way.
Speaker 1: And here we are in June. It sounds callous to
Speaker 1: say it that way, but you have to wonder if
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these players get to get it's football.
Speaker 1: If you're going to get together the number of you know,
Speaker 1: student athletes are going to be getting together. And I've
Speaker 1: tried to remain cautiously optimistic. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: an alarmist. I'm just adding logic to this, reason to this.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen, and it's going to happen all
Speaker 1: over the country with players. Certain states that weren't hot
Speaker 1: spots are now hot spots. And now where does that go?
Speaker 1: You know? How big does this get? You know, I
Speaker 1: think we look at college football and say, well, we
Speaker 1: got time here, we don't. I mentioned this late last week.
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL looked like, oh, you've got a
Speaker 1: lot of time here. You don't. You got football. You
Speaker 1: got a first game in August, which I don't see
Speaker 1: how it's played. I don't see how that Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame game is played. Do not. But you're gonna players reporting,
Speaker 1: and how are you going to be able to pull
Speaker 1: this off? And I just don't see it happening. Even
Speaker 1: the NBA. You know, I had these spikes the test
Speaker 1: and you know the number of cases in Florida and
Speaker 1: it may not sound like a lot, you know, four
Speaker 1: thousand new but then it's four thousand of who did
Speaker 1: they come in contact? Who did they come in contact?
Speaker 1: And then you start to play connect the dots the
Speaker 1: numbers games. Noah, everybody says full speed ahead the NBA,
Speaker 1: we're optimistic. Well, I mean, I don't think Adam Silver
Speaker 1: is going to come out and go, man, what are
Speaker 1: we thinking? I'm saying that, what are we thinking? But
Speaker 1: who am I? I said it before from the outset,
Speaker 1: continue to say it. We have to be cautious with this.
Speaker 1: We want everything to come back, and it's not going
Speaker 1: to come back to normal or the new normals. We
Speaker 1: like to say, You're going to have more of these tests,
Speaker 1: more of these spikes, more positive. Asked, but is this
Speaker 1: the logic? Is this the game plan? Bring him back,
Speaker 1: let him test positive. They're young, they're healthy, and you
Speaker 1: know they're going to be quarantine with everybody else here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the strategy, but it feels
Speaker 1: that way. So we'll talk to the SEC commissioner about
Speaker 1: what is going on. The other big story that was
Speaker 1: late last night, but certainly it is exploding today has
Speaker 1: to do with Bubba Wallace, NASCAR driver. NASCAR's race at
Speaker 1: Talladega was canceled yesterday due to the rain, postponed and
Speaker 1: it'll be run today at three o'clock this afternoon. So
Speaker 1: postponed due to the rain, and a noose was found
Speaker 1: in his garage where his car is, and he's the
Speaker 1: only full time black driver in NASCAR's Cup Series, and
Speaker 1: he had been wearing Black Lives Matter on his car
Speaker 1: his paint. He were I can't breathe t shirts. You know,
Speaker 1: he's been very outspoken and I think it's been really
Speaker 1: illuminating that you've seen how NASCAR has changed overnight with
Speaker 1: saying we don't want the Confederate flag here. But there's
Speaker 1: always going to be outliers, you know, And when you
Speaker 1: realize what racism is fueled by ignorance and fear, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what you're seeing. And you know, Bubba Wallace had been
Speaker 1: doing so many great things and encouraged to stand up
Speaker 1: in that sport, and the news was meant to put
Speaker 1: him in his place, plain and simple. He sent out
Speaker 1: a tweet. This was late last night. Today's despicable act
Speaker 1: of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves
Speaker 1: as a painful reminder of how much farther we have
Speaker 1: to go as a society and how persistent we must
Speaker 1: be in the fight against racism. He's got to go
Speaker 1: out and race today. I can't imagine what his night
Speaker 1: must have been like. Now he's got to go out
Speaker 1: and race, and you know, due to the COVID nineteen,
Speaker 1: you know, the restrictions that we have, there's very few
Speaker 1: people that would have access to his garage. I don't know, Talladega.
Speaker 1: I don't want to act like I know Talladega. PAULI
Speaker 1: sent me some pictures of the garages and they're really
Speaker 1: close to one another. And if somebody had a noose
Speaker 1: and was hiding it and was able to throw it
Speaker 1: on the floor, I don't even know where it was found,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter as far as where it was found.
Speaker 1: Somebody did it do we have cameras to be able
Speaker 1: to find out who this person is because this is
Speaker 1: a hate crime. Somebody's going to go to jail for this.
Speaker 1: It's a hate crime, blat and simple, and NASCAR wants
Speaker 1: you to be comfortable, and I know it's easy to go. Well,
Speaker 1: why did it take them so long? Man? Let's look
Speaker 1: at progress here. You're right, I mean evolving, We're all evolving.
Speaker 1: We're trying to evolve, we're trying to understand. Hell, I
Speaker 1: didn't know what old Miss meant last week we're evolving,
Speaker 1: we're asking, we're reading, we're curious, we need to be
Speaker 1: that's all NASCAR. Yes, it took them forever, but they
Speaker 1: did something old miss. That is what the slaves called
Speaker 1: the wife of you know, the slave owner. The slave
Speaker 1: owner's wife was old miss. I didn't know it. I
Speaker 1: truly did not know it. U and LV running Rebels.
Speaker 1: I did not know that reb was for a Confederate general.
Speaker 1: Didn't know. But now you evolve, you listen, you learn,
Speaker 1: you understand. We're trying to understand. But I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that this true hero, Bubba Wallace is a damn hero,
Speaker 1: because that's not easy to do what he did. Now
Speaker 1: you go to work today, he's there. Now, he's got
Speaker 1: a race at three, he's walking in that garage, and
Speaker 1: I don't know what he could be thinking, but I
Speaker 1: hope the hell he wins. I don't root. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've rooted for Dale Junior, I've rooted for Denny Hamlin,
Speaker 1: I've rooted for certain guys in certain situations. Good God,
Speaker 1: I hope America is rooting for Bubba Wallace today. But
Speaker 1: that pressure what that must be like? He said, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna break me and I'm not surprised he said that,
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't think it would break him. But wow,
Speaker 1: you know, you just you got small minded people who
Speaker 1: do this, and it's out of fear and ignorance. But no,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna see if we can get
Speaker 1: the right guest on. And you know, I'd love to
Speaker 1: have somebody who could tell me just what those garages
Speaker 1: are like at Talladega, because I've been to a couple
Speaker 1: of events. But you know, you don't take pictures like that,
Speaker 1: snapshots where you go, oh, oh, that's right, you know,
Speaker 1: PAULI sent me pictures of Talladega. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: like an airplane hanger with all of these different garages.
Speaker 1: You have your your separate little you know, spaces there.
Speaker 1: Your car is next. You basically police each other because
Speaker 1: the drivers are right next to one another, your car
Speaker 1: next to the other one. But people have access to that.
Speaker 1: And even if we've limited this greatly, the access that
Speaker 1: people have because of the pandemic, there's still some people
Speaker 1: who could come in that the cleaning people crew, you know, NASCAR,
Speaker 1: you know, I think is referring to this as an
Speaker 1: inside job. I would think it would have to be
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of how many people would have acts
Speaker 1: to this and what kind of camera coverage would you
Speaker 1: have because you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in
Speaker 1: those garages, but the exterior cameras. I'm gonna guess it's
Speaker 1: only a matter of time before we find out who
Speaker 1: this is. But that person should go to jail, let's
Speaker 1: say hate crime. Second Morning to the dans, Hey, Paulie Dan.
Speaker 1: I just put together a couple of different reports from
Speaker 1: different NASCAR reporters. The garages at most NASCAR events, there's
Speaker 1: about fifteen people per team, That's what some of the
Speaker 1: reporters are saying. If you look, there's over forty teams,
Speaker 1: so you're looking at five or six hundred team employees
Speaker 1: just on the property that all have access. They don't
Speaker 1: really hang out in each other's garages, but they could,
Speaker 1: and they're open air. It's basically forty open air garages.
Speaker 1: Talladega specifically has a garage fan experience, but the reports
Speaker 1: are that it was not open yesterday because of the
Speaker 1: rain out. But usually they would have a controlled atmosphere
Speaker 1: where fans can walk by behind a barrier and see
Speaker 1: the garage that they said that was not going on yesterday,
Speaker 1: but between track officials, people who are bringing water and
Speaker 1: other services, they said there was upwards of eight hundred
Speaker 1: people who had access to the garages during the day yesterday,
Speaker 1: and somebody could sneak a noose in, you know, if
Speaker 1: somebody had a fire suit on. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think that would be difficult to be able to get
Speaker 1: it in there. The question is how many people are
Speaker 1: there and do you have cameras there? And I'm sure
Speaker 1: that they're drivers on both sides of Bubba Wallace's car.
Speaker 1: Was anybody else there? Did anybody else see anything? But
Speaker 1: he's got to go out and race today. I didn't
Speaker 1: see the weather at Talladega, but he has to go
Speaker 1: out and race the day and it might be delayed
Speaker 1: again today. I don't know, but I can't imagine it.
Speaker 1: Can't imagine that and all of the positivity that had
Speaker 1: happened with NASCAR with Bubba Wallace and then this. I
Speaker 1: know it's one person and maybe well maybe it's not
Speaker 1: one person, but it's one person who did this. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It just it's a like a punch punch
Speaker 1: in the stomach where you go come on, come on,
Speaker 1: all right, So you know, Pauli and Fritzi are working
Speaker 1: on getting the right guest here. I just want somebody
Speaker 1: who can move this forward. I think you know we're
Speaker 1: all bothered by this, but I you know, I want
Speaker 1: to have somebody who can help us understand a little
Speaker 1: bit more of just the proximity of everything, because we
Speaker 1: all know it's wrong. And I'll be watching a NASCAR
Speaker 1: race today. I wasn't planning on it, but I will
Speaker 1: be today. If if they're able to a rough weekend
Speaker 1: for college football, as I mentioned, with the athletes, baseball
Speaker 1: no progress. It goes back to what I keep telling you,
Speaker 1: this is all scripted here. The one thing baseball has
Speaker 1: to be aware of. Even if you get the players
Speaker 1: to cave in and play your fifty games and give
Speaker 1: them the money and it's pro rated and it's whatever
Speaker 1: it is, you divvy it up, you better get your
Speaker 1: damn act together on the virus and being able to
Speaker 1: come back and play. That hadn't even been talked about. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's go down to spring training. They just got down
Speaker 1: to Florida. Oh, I got some guys. You're testing positive here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nine fifteen on a Monday. I had a good weekend.
Speaker 1: It can't be this upset this early. Let me take
Speaker 1: a break. This program brought you by Legal Zoom. Need

Speaker 1: giving you the legal advice that you need. We'll take

Speaker 1: on all these positive tasks. Also, old miss in that
Speaker 1: situation with the Confederate flag? What's the SEC going to do?

Speaker 1: once again. You know, I love to have fun on
Speaker 1: this show. But there are times when we just aren't
Speaker 1: going to and you know we started that way, certainly
Speaker 1: with what happened with the football players testing positive, what
Speaker 1: happened at Talladega with Bubba Wallace. But best and worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend. I'll let you guys tell me what
Speaker 1: you liked you didn't like. Age seven seven three D
Speaker 1: P show Email out STPA Dan Patrick dot com. He's
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the SEC, Greg sank He's back with us, commissioner,
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. How would you recap the weekend
Speaker 1: in the SEC? Well, try not to add to your
Speaker 1: frustration on the Monday morning. How about if I started there?
Speaker 1: You know, really with the issues of the day, you
Speaker 1: go back to statement I made Thursday night about being
Speaker 1: pastime for change to the state flag in Mississippi. You saw,
Speaker 1: just to cover all the bases reports about quarantining around
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen on some of our campuses, not necessarily all
Speaker 1: positive tests. I think we have to be intentional about
Speaker 1: how we communicate Saturday. In fact, it wasn't until Sunday
Speaker 1: I saw a group of football players from all miss
Speaker 1: post a video take a stand on the need for
Speaker 1: change on a monument that appears in the Square and Oxford.
Speaker 1: So I think that's real life in twenty twenty, isn't it.
Speaker 1: That's exactly the type of issues for dealing with it.
Speaker 1: It's unprecedented in some ways about a reality to change
Speaker 1: as a constant in our life, whether we want to
Speaker 1: acknowledge that change or not. Can Old Miss continue to
Speaker 1: be Old Miss? Oh? Sure? I think that's that's up
Speaker 1: to them. There's a lot going on right now in
Speaker 1: those conversations. I think I look at it and my
Speaker 1: responsibility as a conference commissioner because we have so much
Speaker 1: that can go on. We have championships, we've go out
Speaker 1: to dig, so we have others that rotate that I
Speaker 1: needed to take that stand. And I know that their
Speaker 1: chancellor and their campus leadership has worked hard on issues,
Speaker 1: and when you have things in place for years, sometimes
Speaker 1: it takes time to work through everything. Go back to
Speaker 1: the banning of sticks is a way to deal with
Speaker 1: the flag issue back in the nineties, and that was
Speaker 1: the leadership needed then. And we've got a different type
Speaker 1: of leadership expectation now. The number of positive chests over
Speaker 1: the weekend, I don't And you explain the process. Do
Speaker 1: coaches have to tell you what has happened on their
Speaker 1: campus with their football teams. No, we don't rely on
Speaker 1: our coaches for that information. We have a weekly call
Speaker 1: with the Medical Advisory Committee, a group we've been working
Speaker 1: with for several months now, and those are medical leaders
Speaker 1: tied either to their athletics program or the university, so
Speaker 1: we'll receive updates there, and again, I think that's where
Speaker 1: it's important to understand. There's testing outcomes and then there
Speaker 1: is essentially tracing outcomes where because of potential contacts, quarantining
Speaker 1: takes place even though someone may not have tested positive
Speaker 1: for COVID nineteen. What kind of options are you looking
Speaker 1: at for the season. Yeah, I described this as a marathon,
Speaker 1: and really I caught the end of your previous segment
Speaker 1: on the return to activities that mayorment not happen in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball or in other sports. I know they're
Speaker 1: all preparing for that. We're living that reality. We're dealing
Speaker 1: literally with voluntary athletic related activities, and we know that
Speaker 1: within our facilities we can provide the kind of care
Speaker 1: and oversight that guides people in the right way keeps
Speaker 1: them healthy. We're also learning that nineteen and twenty year
Speaker 1: olds will do what nineteen and twenty year olds do,
Speaker 1: and that is maybe not listen to all the advice
Speaker 1: that exists. I think their immunity level or their strength
Speaker 1: and conditioning can prevent them from being having a positive
Speaker 1: test or contracting the virus. And I think that's a
Speaker 1: lesson that everyone still has to learn. That the discussions
Speaker 1: about masks and how we maintain our health, these are
Speaker 1: real issues that help us move forward. We're still months
Speaker 1: away from what could be the potential kickoff. That's our focus.
Speaker 1: But as I've said repeatedly, we have to prepare to
Speaker 1: adjust to the circumstances, just like we're adjusting right now
Speaker 1: after the last four or five days. What will those adjustments?
Speaker 1: What are the possibility And maybe you don't want to
Speaker 1: get into hypotheticals, to be fair to you, but everybody's
Speaker 1: optimistic about this Commissioner, But man, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have serious doubts about how we're going to pull
Speaker 1: all any of this off. I really am, And nobody,
Speaker 1: like nobody on my side of the microphone and you're
Speaker 1: asked questions, has been overly optimistic and I'm certainly realistic.
Speaker 1: It is it is a marathon, and I don't know
Speaker 1: where the finish line is. And in my life, I
Speaker 1: finished forty one marathons and at least I knew, with
Speaker 1: the exception of one where they miss measured, that the
Speaker 1: finish line was twenty six point two miles. You can
Speaker 1: imagine my frustration. I knew it felt longer than it was.
Speaker 1: And here we know there's a finish line, but where
Speaker 1: is it? And so Dan, I have to look at
Speaker 1: this as each step. And a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: we opened up our athletic facilities again voluntary activities. What
Speaker 1: you're seeing now in the news is a reaction to
Speaker 1: the plans that were put in place. Today's another milestone.
Speaker 1: The NCA made a decision to allow an l vated
Speaker 1: level of practice. Alcoholic comes LI thirteenth. I think that's
Speaker 1: the next stage, and right around that time we'll have
Speaker 1: to come to some conclusions on whether we can move
Speaker 1: forward as planned or not. Was this planned or this
Speaker 1: was expected that you would have these kids test positive? Well,
Speaker 1: it was prepared for. The goal was never to expect zero.
Speaker 1: That's just not reality around us. It is to be
Speaker 1: the plan was test. When they arrived, we had positive
Speaker 1: tests when people came back, and we have embedded medical
Speaker 1: professionals in our athletics program. That's part of what I
Speaker 1: think gets missed is the level of care provided for
Speaker 1: young people on our campuses on a daily basis. And
Speaker 1: then there was preparation for the what ifs, And so
Speaker 1: those hypotheticals that I have avoided answering are very much
Speaker 1: a part of planning. What do we do if a
Speaker 1: bunch of people go to a party or someone test positive,
Speaker 1: We're going to be in quarantine. What do we do
Speaker 1: if there's a positive test, What do we do when
Speaker 1: they come back? How many people can be allowed in
Speaker 1: a facility? What is the spacing, What is the expectation
Speaker 1: when you walk in and leave? What is the continuing
Speaker 1: reinforcement about the education? Provided that, well, you made it
Speaker 1: through one week doesn't make you make doesn't mean you'll
Speaker 1: make it through two unless you take care of yourselves.
Speaker 1: And there are no guarantees. You can go back to
Speaker 1: March where we all thought we were playing basketball tournaments
Speaker 1: and March madness would happen, and we made assumptions, and
Speaker 1: we have fewer assumptions made, and that's why we have
Speaker 1: to prepare for a whole set of contingencies. We talked
Speaker 1: about it last time, and if you can give me
Speaker 1: an update with the SEC, maybe just have conference games,
Speaker 1: like the is the game plan to have just conference
Speaker 1: games or is it a full slate we've gone through.
Speaker 1: I think we're just short of twenty scenarios. The plan.
Speaker 1: The focus is to prepare to play as schedule and
Speaker 1: then to pivot off of that. And there are any
Speaker 1: number of options that could allow an entire schedule to
Speaker 1: be played both conference and non conference, but everybody in
Speaker 1: this country has to be a part of that at
Speaker 1: the cleasion level. That's just a little bit more complex
Speaker 1: than say the NFL putting its schedule out of their delaying,
Speaker 1: because all of those things are controlled by a central entity.
Speaker 1: So I think we'll keep that focus, but we'll plan
Speaker 1: for contingencies that could be you know, probably anything you're
Speaker 1: reading about from a speculative standpoint. Maybe just Alabama and
Speaker 1: LSU play twelve times. I'm saying, you know, I can
Speaker 1: take one of those a year. I assure you one
Speaker 1: of those a year. To imagine, the stress level in
Speaker 1: my life varies right now. It's an odd summer of stress,
Speaker 1: but not I don't know about one of those every week. Commissioner.
Speaker 1: Thank you, We appreciate your time and good luck. I
Speaker 1: appreciate the continued conversation. Thank you. That's Greg Sanky, the
Speaker 1: Commissioner of the SEC. Phone calls are welcome. H seven
Speaker 1: seven three D P show email address DP of Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com. McLevin, you have a poll question for
Speaker 1: me today? Yeah, I have a bunch of them, from
Speaker 1: serious and not so serious. Let's start non so serious. Okay,
Speaker 1: how disappointing was Father's Day? So I know my wife
Speaker 1: is not a saying that that's that's not serious. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was. That was the less serious, Like I guess uh,
Speaker 1: that's my way of asking how is your father's day?
Speaker 1: And mildly passive aggressively complaining about mine. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get it over with. Let's just get it out in Michlovin.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just wasn't what I expected, and
Speaker 1: it never ever is. I have expectations of what Father's
Speaker 1: Day is going to be, and no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: I feel disappointed. I'll be honest. PAULI has a theory.
Speaker 1: I have a theory that all of us as dad's
Speaker 1: I think and I know I do this. My wife was,
Speaker 1: what do you want for Father's Day? What do you
Speaker 1: do I want to do? I'm like, I don't need anything.
Speaker 1: I got everything. This is awesome. Uh what about you
Speaker 1: want to go out and eat. Let's just get some
Speaker 1: dogs and burgers and Bronson grill. Make it nice and easy.
Speaker 1: And Father's Day comes and it's exactly what I asked for,
Speaker 1: No big presence, no big hubbub. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's it. Huh. No one's running around hearing no signs
Speaker 1: on the there's no banners up. Yeah. But when when
Speaker 1: it's your wife and she says, don't do anything for
Speaker 1: me for Mother's Day, we go above and beyond the
Speaker 1: call of duty. Yeah we're experts, yes, because we know
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do that. But the women take us
Speaker 1: at our word. They don't don't. I don't need anything.
Speaker 1: I bear, doesn't even have to be cold. Hunt. I'm good,
Speaker 1: don't even I don't care. Yeah, no, I'm good. Whatever,
Speaker 1: yeah whatever. It's well. I had to share Father's Day
Speaker 1: with my daughter's birthday, so I really got kicked at
Speaker 1: the curb. It was and you know, happy birthday, oh happy,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, on happy Father's Day and I went all right,
Speaker 1: I didn't get anything. I didn't get a card, A card,
Speaker 1: I didn't get a card. Wow. Yeah, I took an over.
Speaker 1: I went oh for five with my wife and my
Speaker 1: four kids. I went for five, I got I got nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you get a random text from friends saying happy
Speaker 1: Father's Day? I got like four of those? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: I got down. Yeah, I adapted to any for me?
Speaker 1: Yeah for tea not even a repurposed card from the
Speaker 1: drawer from you know years. No. No, we went out
Speaker 1: to uh, well, we didn't go out. We went to
Speaker 1: pick up dinner at one of my favorite time restaurants
Speaker 1: and brought that back last night, which was nice. I
Speaker 1: got tomorrow. I got a couple of cards, so that
Speaker 1: was that was my second choice, and it was actually
Speaker 1: very nice. We went We went as a family on
Speaker 1: a nice little walk around the neighborhood and got some
Speaker 1: uh got some sun and we um. I got to
Speaker 1: some big thermis because my wife knows I'd like to
Speaker 1: walk a lot these days. That keeps the ice nice
Speaker 1: and cold. And I also had asked for our grooming kid.
Speaker 1: We don't have to get them too. The details of that,
Speaker 1: and I had a little incident last night about my
Speaker 1: reaction to the grooming kid that I got as another
Speaker 1: father's big gift. I got a little aggressive. I'll leave
Speaker 1: it at that, what part of you needs groomed? There
Speaker 1: were some areas that I wanted to up a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little manscaping, and I'm like, how to lather myself
Speaker 1: in like Deston and Ali Vera for a good portrait
Speaker 1: of a night. Last night, I just got a little
Speaker 1: tool choice was it? No? It was mine. I told
Speaker 1: her that it's something that I wanted. You know, if
Speaker 1: she would have said it, I would have been a
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable with that, Like what are you saying? Like
Speaker 1: I'm some kind of like Harry Monster or something like that.
Speaker 1: But I cleaned myself up and next thing I knew
Speaker 1: there was just there was rashes and blistering and stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh I mean, father day, what else do you have? Mcloven?
Speaker 1: By the way, it started off so nice going to
Speaker 1: an Italian restaurant and went there. Uh now because it
Speaker 1: always goes there? Yeah, it never doesn't go there. Every
Speaker 1: story ends up at Todd's Growing. It's food and Todd's Growing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't even boal related. This time. This was the
Speaker 1: other thing. You okay, do you want the Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: poll or the obligatory? Are we going to have an
Speaker 1: MLB season? Oh? God, how about Dak Prescott. He's he's
Speaker 1: going to sign his tender today. Yeah. This, You know,
Speaker 1: America's long nightmare is not over because now it's just
Speaker 1: he signed this and then we're gonna wait and see
Speaker 1: if he's going to sign a long term contract. But
Speaker 1: I thought that maybe if he signed that four year deal.
Speaker 1: I know they want a five year he wants four
Speaker 1: so he can get back into the free agency market
Speaker 1: before he's thirty. I understand that that logic, but I
Speaker 1: thought maybe if he signs that long term deal, then
Speaker 1: we don't have to hear about it. Dak is Dak Prescot?
Speaker 1: What's work? Is he going to be? You know? Worth
Speaker 1: forty million dollars? Here he is at thirty one and
Speaker 1: then if they franchise him next year, it's thirty seven.
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys are going to sign him. The question
Speaker 1: is is it a four or five year deal? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Mclau here's my question. Well, look, he had a single
Speaker 1: number or even sitting it. When I ask you, is
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott a top ten quarterback. What's your answer, I
Speaker 1: would say no, I don't think he'll ever be able
Speaker 1: to put up the numbers to validate his contract in
Speaker 1: a lot of people's eyes. But that doesn't mean he's
Speaker 1: not worth it. It's just I think you'll look at
Speaker 1: his numbers and you'll go, oh, okay, twenty seven and
Speaker 1: nine interceptions, Okay. I want to see if they can win.
Speaker 1: That's all I care about Dak Prescott. I think he'll
Speaker 1: validate those numbers by winning. I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see a season where you go, oh my god, he's
Speaker 1: gonna throw forty touchdown passes, and I think people will
Speaker 1: look at him and go, he didn't really live up
Speaker 1: to that contract. He'll live up to the contract by winning,
Speaker 1: not putting up gaudy numbers. Seampo, it seems like the
Speaker 1: Cowboys they're gonna have thirty million plus a year in
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. You just had a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't think he's a great quarterback, and they also had
Speaker 1: their running back whose best years are probably behind them.
Speaker 1: They gave him a six year contract. He'll be making yeah,
Speaker 1: eighteen million a year in four years unless they cut
Speaker 1: him and they gave him. Maori Cooper up one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars, like everybody got paid. This is it better
Speaker 1: go well in the next three years for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: or it's going to be ugly. But that you know, Jerry,
Speaker 1: he you know, obviously he wants that Super Bowl. He
Speaker 1: wants one more super Bowl, and he wants to prove
Speaker 1: that he can do it. He doesn't need Jimmy Johnson
Speaker 1: or some of these other you know, I don't need
Speaker 1: Troy and Emma and Michael. I can do it on
Speaker 1: my own. And then you're going, okay, good luck with that.
Speaker 1: And he does pay everybody. Oh, Dak Prescott's just the
Speaker 1: next guy up, you know, in three years from now,
Speaker 1: and we'll look back and go, oh, okay, Dak's making whatever.
Speaker 1: And that's the way it happens. How many times did
Speaker 1: we go like this incredulous reaction to a salary? Can
Speaker 1: you believe that guy's making And then we just move on,
Speaker 1: and then we'll move on from the next guy, and
Speaker 1: the next guy, Watson will be next up, and then
Speaker 1: mahomes Yeah, I'm a club another poll. Okay, another guy
Speaker 1: who wants to get paid. Jamal Adams Jet Safety if
Speaker 1: you're a teammate a Jamal Adams, he said over the week,
Speaker 1: there's a video of him saying, I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: to Dallas. Are you angry with him? Or are you
Speaker 1: saying take me with you? In other words, you'd like
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, dude, I get it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams doesn't seem like he's happy. Jets don't want
Speaker 1: to pay him, Jets don't have any star players. If
Speaker 1: I'm Jamal Adams, do I want to be in a
Speaker 1: place that now doesn't value what I do and that
Speaker 1: is being one of the better safeties in the sport.
Speaker 1: And that's part of the problem. It's a position that
Speaker 1: we don't care about. He basically is a guy who
Speaker 1: creeps up for blitzes and stopping the run. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you want to spend yours most of your money on
Speaker 1: a guy like that or that's your featured guy? Not
Speaker 1: exactly bringing fans to the stands when we're able to
Speaker 1: go to a game, Hey can't wait to watch Jamal Adams.
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. But if the team doesn't
Speaker 1: value you at that position, then it would be time
Speaker 1: to move on. Yah. But the whole league doesn't value
Speaker 1: that the highest Well Dallas might. Well, I was what
Speaker 1: you just said. All the guys are paying. How can
Speaker 1: they pay Jamal Adams twenty million on top of all
Speaker 1: those other guys? I don't know, but I want whoever's
Speaker 1: doing their books to do my taxes because I think
Speaker 1: I might I might be able to get a little
Speaker 1: bit more on the RS. What else do you have? McLevin? Okay,
Speaker 1: this this is not meant to be mean, but how
Speaker 1: many people knew that both the Belmont Steaks and the
Speaker 1: Spies were this weekend? Because I kind of vanguely knew,
Speaker 1: but without watching live sports to promote it, I wasn't
Speaker 1: as aware of it as I usually add. I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware of the Spies because I haven't been watching ESPN
Speaker 1: because there hasn't been anything on that you would normally
Speaker 1: tune in for Belmont. I only knew because I picked
Speaker 1: up the New York Daily News and they had a
Speaker 1: spread about that and the horses in it, And that
Speaker 1: was the only reason why I knew the Belmont Stakes
Speaker 1: we're going to be run. Yeah, mccleven. I just turned
Speaker 1: to MCA and I said, the Belmont was really this weekend? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't turn on a TV from Friday since I left. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the favorite one I was. I thought he was joking. No, no,
Speaker 1: the Belmont. I missed it. Where are you guys? Well?
Speaker 1: But I love that the Belmont. See this would have
Speaker 1: been where the Belmont was going to get some recognition,
Speaker 1: because the Belmont doesn't get recognition. It's always, Hey, you
Speaker 1: won the first two legs, let's watch the Belmont. Oh,
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby winner lost the Preakness. We don't care
Speaker 1: about the Belmont. Oh the horse that didn't win the
Speaker 1: Derby won the Preakness, and we're not going to watch
Speaker 1: the Belmont. We watched the Belmont. If we think there's history,
Speaker 1: but that's about it. It feels like and now you
Speaker 1: have it wherever you go. Hey, the Belmont. You got
Speaker 1: the whole weekend of yourself aside from golf, and there
Speaker 1: was very I think the SPS might have been less
Speaker 1: publicized for I think that was strategic on ESPN's part.
Speaker 1: It probably did, you know. Let's although they had a
Speaker 1: lot of really important moments there last night with Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson Junior the third and uh Megan Rapino, Sue Bird.
Speaker 1: But it you know, they were it was hard to
Speaker 1: put it all together. They had a beautiful tribute to
Speaker 1: more Matt who was really the genius behind the SP's
Speaker 1: tireless worker who passed away. But uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: watched some of it. I want I wanted to hear
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins, and there were moments there that you forget.
Speaker 1: And that's what's great about the sps. They allow you
Speaker 1: to think back on or reflect back or watch some
Speaker 1: of these events that took place in the calendar year.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't I wasn't too up to date on
Speaker 1: the SP's being last night, and certainly with the Belmont
Speaker 1: all right, will take a break, phone calls, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend um Nate seven seven three d
Speaker 1: p show got her Play of the Day coming up
Speaker 1: next year. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Be sure to us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 1: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live every day at YouTube dot
Speaker 1: com slash The Dan Patrick Show. We'll check in with
Speaker 1: NASCAR coming up at the top of the hour. A
Speaker 1: little bit more of what had happened yesterday. The race
Speaker 1: is this afternoon, weather permitting, and some more details about
Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace and his stall in the garage where they
Speaker 1: found a news I'm just curious the number of people
Speaker 1: that had access to that area and what is the
Speaker 1: camera coverage there, because that's a hate crime and somebody's
Speaker 1: going to go to jail for it. I was mentioning
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott had thirty touchdowns last year. Now
Speaker 1: that's second most in team history. I just don't know
Speaker 1: if he's going to put up gaudy numbers because they
Speaker 1: are run first team, or at least they've been built
Speaker 1: that way. Here is the biggest problem I have with
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. In eight wins last year, he threw twenty
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and four interceptions. His quarterback rating was one twenty.
Speaker 1: And here we go with the eight lasses, eight touchdowns,
Speaker 1: seven interceptions and eighty three percent quarterback rating. Yeah, mclub
Speaker 1: is Whember. We used to blame everything on Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: though maybe a new coach hol changing. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: they better Aaron Rodgers. Numbers were better with Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: than they were with Matt Lafloor. So maybe this sets
Speaker 1: up well for Dak and his style. He seems like
Speaker 1: a West Coast kind of quarterback. I think Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: will be great for Dak Prescott. But it's more of
Speaker 1: the play calling. I think that's important. And I like
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Like if you said he's my quarterback moving forward,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I think he's a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: I just need him to be great at times. And
Speaker 1: you saw with those those eight losses, he wasn't even good.
Speaker 1: He wasn't even average. Yeah. McLevin doesn't a lot depend
Speaker 1: on Zeke too. When defense is half. When he's doing well,
Speaker 1: they do well. Right, You've always said run in defense.
Speaker 1: Well that play action. When you have play action, then
Speaker 1: that frees everybody up and they have weapons there and
Speaker 1: then they go out and get ceedee lamb. I expect them,
Speaker 1: but I expected that two years ago and last year.
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that they had the talent to
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. Last year, I really really did.
Speaker 1: They couldn't even win the division in that division. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's going into year What year do you think
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is going into his Dallas Cowboys head coach.
Speaker 1: First number that pops in your head. What do you mean?
Speaker 1: How many years has he been there as the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys head coach, Jason Garrett. Well he's not there, no,
Speaker 1: But he made it eleven years. Yeah, he was there
Speaker 1: for eleven years. Yeah, who's don't there? Now? I know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like he made it eleven that
Speaker 1: second only to Landry. Then remember that they had him
Speaker 1: for years there. They hit a four and twelve season
Speaker 1: I think in twenty fifteen, and that was a chance
Speaker 1: to get out. But he's the second most tenured coach
Speaker 1: in that team's history. No one's else has been there
Speaker 1: more than five years. For some reason, Jerry Jones, he
Speaker 1: wanted to keep him, and he had an ample opportunity
Speaker 1: to get rid of him, and now he's with the Giants.
Speaker 1: Sean and Indiana. Hey, Sean, what do you have for
Speaker 1: me today? Day? Good morning? I got a best and
Speaker 1: worst for you. Saturday was my birthday, so I had
Speaker 1: a great weekend overall, pampered both days. But on Saturday,
Speaker 1: my eight year old had a baseball game and he
Speaker 1: hit for a single, double, and triple and they were
Speaker 1: legit shots. The worst of the weekend was on his
Speaker 1: four that bat, he was on deck and the kid
Speaker 1: before him hit so that we got too many runs
Speaker 1: in the inning and my son never got another ad
Speaker 1: bat in the game hit for the cycle. That can't
Speaker 1: be a bad day, Sean. Well, no, I mean it
Speaker 1: was so a good day. I was a problem stuff.
Speaker 1: But we were all this point because triple like landed
Speaker 1: just before the fence. Wait, how old is you? I
Speaker 1: think he's eight? Oh come on, yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you'll have a chance again, though, Sean, thank you, Like,
Speaker 1: if that's your bad day, I would have taken if
Speaker 1: my son had a single let alone the double and
Speaker 1: triple Ryan and South Carolina, Hi Ryan, when you have
Speaker 1: hey five seven, one seventy This morning my best of
Speaker 1: the weekend, after after twenty of meat Fridays, we uh yeah,
Speaker 1: my brother got my my father a trager tell it girl, awesome, awesome,
Speaker 1: and then uh my worst of the week him, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was a great weekend until last night.
Speaker 1: Late last night, I uh, I read about the bubble
Speaker 1: Wallace situation, and I just hope for my peer's sake,
Speaker 1: I hope that um, I hope it hits home that
Speaker 1: what's this one, especially because you just get to see
Speaker 1: that even at you know, at a high level like NASCAR,
Speaker 1: he still has to deal with that on a day
Speaker 1: to day basis. And well, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to Dave Moody, league turn announcer for
Speaker 1: Motor Racing Network and he hosts Serious XM Speedway, just
Speaker 1: to get his thoughts on this, because I'm just curious
Speaker 1: about the proximity of Talladega with how many people I've
Speaker 1: accessed to this, and is their camera I have to
Speaker 1: imagine that the amount of money that's in each one
Speaker 1: of these stalls, I would I would bring my own
Speaker 1: camera like I would have simply safe. I could put
Speaker 1: those cameras in there and then it would go to
Speaker 1: my phone if my car is in there. And I
Speaker 1: haven't heard if NASCAR says we have camera coverage at Talladega,
Speaker 1: but we'll find out. We'll have that coming up at
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Also, I'm having Nick right on.
Speaker 1: I think he's a really talented host with Fox Sports,
Speaker 1: but he's he's I think the last sports announcer to
Speaker 1: have a conversation with Colin Kaepernick, and I want to
Speaker 1: know how optimistic Nick is, and Nick, you know, I
Speaker 1: guess defines their relationship as a friendship. So he calls
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick his friend, and I wanted to have Nick
Speaker 1: on talk about that. How optimistic is he that Colin
Speaker 1: Kaepernick is going to get a chance. Adam Sandler what
Speaker 1: was it thirty years ago? This week? He started at
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Line, so Sam Man will join us. I
Speaker 1: got to ask him about that project, that basketball project
Speaker 1: that he's working with Lebron James on when in the
Speaker 1: books too More to Go
