Speaker 2: On this Tuesday, we'll check in with the NFL owners meetings,
Speaker 2: the Competition Committee Albert Brier the Monday Morning Quarterback. They
Speaker 2: are voting on the Tush push at some point today.

Speaker 2: host of NBA on TNT, also March Madness host.
Speaker 3: He'll join us.
Speaker 2: We'll play Phill in the Blank and Jeff Passon covers
Speaker 2: baseball for the Mothership on the rising ongoing controversy with
Speaker 2: the Torpedo Bats. Elie Delacruz of the Reds had a
Speaker 2: huge night last night with a couple of home runs
Speaker 2: his first game with the Torpedo bat. Yukon and Texas
Speaker 2: advanced to the Women's Final four, and the Pelicans officially
Speaker 2: in tank mode. We have decided to come up with
Speaker 2: tanking tops for some of these teams because CJ. McCollum
Speaker 2: and z Ion Williamson will be sitting out the remainder
Speaker 2: of the final seven games. Here eight seven seven three
Speaker 2: DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
Speaker 2: call seat and has a poll question and good morning
Speaker 2: those watching on Peacock, also listening on our radio affiliates
Speaker 2: including iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: Poll question for hour two Seaton will be yeah, we
Speaker 3: got up there right now.
Speaker 4: Prediction today the brotherly shove will be made legal or illegal?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 4: Fifty four percent of the audience think that's going to
Speaker 4: be made illegal. Okay, we have a random one here
Speaker 4: from Todd most impressive one hundred and fifty mile an
Speaker 4: hour tennis serve one hundred and twenty mile an hour,
Speaker 4: golf swing one hundred mile an hour fastball, or one
Speaker 4: hundred mile an hour slap shot.
Speaker 2: Well, how many people serve one hundred and fifty miles
Speaker 2: an hour? How many swing of golf club one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty miles per hour? There seems to be a
Speaker 2: lot of people throw a hundred miles an hour the
Speaker 2: slap shot one hundred miles pre So I would be
Speaker 2: curious how many people can do those individual achievements, because
Speaker 2: that might tell you just how rare it is and
Speaker 2: maybe how impressive it is.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, when I thought about those, what might be
Speaker 5: more impressive is being on the other end of it,
Speaker 5: being a catcher and dealing with one oh two and
Speaker 5: being a goalkeeper. I didn't know a slap shot one
Speaker 5: one hundred, and those guys are taking it off different
Speaker 5: parts of their body. I know they're padded, but not
Speaker 5: completely padded.
Speaker 2: Well, you got to hit one hundred mile an hour fastball,
Speaker 2: You have to hit a one hundred and fifty mile
Speaker 2: an hour tennis serve.
Speaker 3: How many I one hundred and fifty miles an hour?
Speaker 3: Who serves that fast?
Speaker 6: I just did a basic look of what you know.
Speaker 6: Above average speeds are like someone once had like one
Speaker 6: hundred fifty seven or hundred and sixty mile an hour,
Speaker 6: But that's like the greatest of all time. But then
Speaker 6: there's some that go down to the one fifties and
Speaker 6: one forties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't I'd have to know how many
Speaker 2: people in the world can do that. It feels like
Speaker 2: there's on you know, there's a lot more guys throwing
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour. One twenty is at the
Speaker 2: high end for a golf swing. Slap shot one hundred
Speaker 2: miles that used to be.
Speaker 3: It felt like.
Speaker 7: Was it?
Speaker 2: Al mcguinnis didn't he have the fastest slap shot for years?
Speaker 3: Back in maybe the eighties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paulie, there's been about fifteen recorded serves men's serves
Speaker 5: of one fifty mph or over, including guys like Andy
Speaker 5: Roddick did it and John Isner, a couple Americans.
Speaker 3: You may know, yees see.
Speaker 4: Returning a serve that fast must be almost impossible.
Speaker 3: You know who was?
Speaker 2: There were two guys who stand out, who were two
Speaker 2: of the greatest to ever do it. One was Andre
Speaker 2: Agassy and the other one was Jimmy Conners. It just
Speaker 2: felt like you're hitting bullets and they would just get
Speaker 2: their racket on it just enough to get it over
Speaker 2: so then you could have a rally. But I member Agacy,
Speaker 2: he was so good at that, And I'm sure I'm
Speaker 2: leaving out other people, but those were two that came
Speaker 2: to mind. Eight seven seven three DP show. We'll get
Speaker 2: to your phone calls coming up. Albert Breer is set
Speaker 2: to join us Robert and Naples. Hi Robert, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 8: Hi Dan? Longtime missler, first time caller five eight one eighties. Yes,
Speaker 8: I'm your average Bob softball pisney coach high school and
Speaker 8: junior college. If I keep beating people inside and they
Speaker 8: change the bats to where the sweet spots closer to
Speaker 8: the hands. Why would I not start trying to attack
Speaker 8: the outside with the BET's weaker.
Speaker 2: I sure, I guess it's all open for interpretation and
Speaker 2: discussion here. But Jeff Panson will join us next hour
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about that. He's Albert Breer,
Speaker 2: the Monday Morning Quarterback, their senior NFL reporter, and he
Speaker 2: joined us. Joins us from Florida. The owners meetings. There's
Speaker 2: a lot on the table, a lot on the agenda.
Speaker 2: Let me start with the tush push. When is that
Speaker 2: being voted on today?
Speaker 9: I'm they're in the room now doing their votes, so
Speaker 9: that could come down, you know, anytime I'd say, over
Speaker 9: the next I would say within an hour, an hour
Speaker 9: and a half will probably know one way or the other.
Speaker 3: What's your sense?
Speaker 6: My senses?
Speaker 9: There's a ton of argument, you know in the room
Speaker 9: over and I know you know Howie rosemans for the
Speaker 9: room the other day and basically asked for the injury
Speaker 9: data and when they said, well, there isn't really any
Speaker 9: injury data. There haven't been injuries on it, he then said, okay,
Speaker 9: well give me the difference in injuries between this and
Speaker 9: a conventional quarterback sneak and they couldn't do that. Doctor
Speaker 9: Allen Sales, the chief medical officer for the league, then
Speaker 9: said like, well, you know, we're what we're worried about
Speaker 9: based on the posture is that this can this could
Speaker 9: create a catastrophic you know, or catastrophic spine injuries, you know.
Speaker 9: And then you know, Mike Rabel and Jim Harbaugh actually
Speaker 9: you know, spoke up and you know, got into the
Speaker 9: way the rule was, how specifically written it is, like
Speaker 9: it's written about you know, it's written in a way
Speaker 9: where it's you know it it it It applies to
Speaker 9: pushing behind the center. So Rabel asked, well, what if
Speaker 9: the quarterback is running behind the guard, can you push him?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 9: And Harball came up with the ideas like, well what
Speaker 9: if I put too extra linement And this would be
Speaker 9: the most Harbaugh formation ever.
Speaker 6: I think, what if.
Speaker 9: I put two extra linemen behind the guards, had them
Speaker 9: push the guards and not touch the quarterback. So there's
Speaker 9: been healthy debate. I just think, I I my sense
Speaker 9: right now, Dan is if the commissioner really wants to
Speaker 9: get this thing through, and I'm a little more certain
Speaker 9: where he stands in the kickoff than I am on this.
Speaker 9: If if the commissioner really wants to get it through,
Speaker 9: maybe he tables it and they tweak it and work
Speaker 9: it a little bit and and voted again.
Speaker 7: And I don't know.
Speaker 9: If they have the twenty four votes right now to
Speaker 9: get it through and ban it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my feeling that at first I thought
Speaker 2: there just felt like there's at this groundswell and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden there was a lot of you got
Speaker 2: to get it out of the game. And then one
Speaker 2: of my sources said, there's no data, Like they're searching
Speaker 2: for data that's not there. They're desperate to find that.
Speaker 2: And therefore, if you don't have that data, it's really
Speaker 2: hard to say we're going to create a rule, get
Speaker 2: it rid of a rule because of one team.
Speaker 9: And that's that's my problem with it, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean, It's like, why should we be getting rid
Speaker 9: of something because one team is really.
Speaker 6: Good at it?
Speaker 2: You know, what are the other things that have been
Speaker 2: or will be decided or voted on today?
Speaker 9: So the overtime, the overtime proposal passed, which basically makes.
Speaker 2: Hold on second, Albert, We've got a little breakup in
Speaker 2: your connection there so we'll come back to you. So
Speaker 2: I'd see if you can help Albert with his connectivity.
Speaker 2: There By the way, the men's final four the odds,
Speaker 2: Houston was a fore and a half point underdog. They're
Speaker 2: now a five and a half point underdog against Duke,
Speaker 2: and Florida is still two and a half point favored
Speaker 2: against Auburn Yeston.
Speaker 4: This is a terrible day to be doing all this
Speaker 4: voting and announcing all the.
Speaker 3: Sea the April fools.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was just an ESPN just had a thing
Speaker 4: that said breaking news NFL both teams will get the
Speaker 4: ball in overtime.
Speaker 3: Well this and that.
Speaker 4: I didn't even bother reading it all because I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it's true.
Speaker 3: I really have no idea.
Speaker 2: Well, you can joke about a lot of things, but
Speaker 2: nobody wants to joke about the NFL. It just feels
Speaker 2: like that that makes headlines and people would click on that.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paulie, one thing Albert said there. I didn't know
Speaker 5: the NFL had the power to do. If they don't
Speaker 5: feel like they had the votes, they could table this
Speaker 5: to May and look at it again. I thought this
Speaker 5: was like deciding day. That's interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 2: It feels like, once again feels like the commissioner wants
Speaker 2: to take this out of the game. It's predictable, esthetically
Speaker 2: not pleasing. You're in the entertainment business. There's no data
Speaker 2: that says that, hey, look at all of these injuries, Todd,
Speaker 2: did we reconnect with Albert. We'll see if it sounds
Speaker 2: a little bit better. So the overtime rule that was
Speaker 2: just passed, can you explain that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, like, basically, it's going to take what's been
Speaker 9: playoff overtime the last couple of years and make it
Speaker 9: overtime across the board. The original proposal actually pushed for
Speaker 9: a fifteen minute period. They tweaked that and moved it
Speaker 9: back to being a ten minute period, which I think
Speaker 9: is interesting because if you're the team that receives the kickoff,
Speaker 9: well you just immediately go into your four minute offense, right, Like,
Speaker 9: wouldn't you immediately start running the clock. So that could
Speaker 9: add an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 6: My guess would be that they.
Speaker 9: Wanted to go to ten minute overtime because maybe the
Speaker 9: broadcast partners don't want to be pushing outside the normal
Speaker 9: window too far, And then you know, it's like adding
Speaker 9: place to a game, which is a health and safety thing.
Speaker 9: The Lion's proposal got shot down to take the automatic
Speaker 9: first down away from defensive holding an illegal contact, you know.
Speaker 6: And then the kickoff.
Speaker 9: I think it's the big one or the other big
Speaker 9: one that they're going to vote on.
Speaker 3: Here, Now, what what is it that they're going to
Speaker 3: vote on?
Speaker 9: So it's to make the kickoff the obviously the new
Speaker 9: kickoff that they debuted last year, to make that permanent,
Speaker 9: and then there are some tweaks to that that they're
Speaker 9: trying to go through. And my understanding is that Roger
Speaker 9: really wants more returns. And the good news is like
Speaker 9: the injury data that they have supports that this has worked.
Speaker 9: Is you know, what they're saying is is that the
Speaker 9: injury data shows that it's about the same injury right
Speaker 9: now on a kickoff.
Speaker 3: As you have on a on a on.
Speaker 9: A on a normal play from scrimmage.
Speaker 3: So like that part's good.
Speaker 6: They feel like too.
Speaker 9: Many teams were kicking into the end zone. So you know,
Speaker 9: like with the touch back being at the thirty they
Speaker 9: it's been proposed they moved the touch back to the
Speaker 9: thirty five. Now, you know, I know some coaches are
Speaker 9: very against that, and so well, why don't we just
Speaker 9: move the kicker back five yards so it's harder for
Speaker 9: the kicker to reach the end zone. But the goal
Speaker 9: here for Goodell seems very much to to find a
Speaker 9: way to create more kickoffs and to get to get
Speaker 9: more to create more kickoff returns. And you know, I
Speaker 9: think there's been enough argument about the different formations and again,
Speaker 9: like the different tweaks that I do think there's a
Speaker 9: chance that Roger will look at this and say we
Speaker 9: should table this until May and like go and work
Speaker 9: through all of the tweaks and decide what's right for
Speaker 9: this year, and then the vote again.
Speaker 3: On it May. What about the onside kick?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so the on side kick is that would allow
Speaker 9: and this is just.
Speaker 3: A common sense thing.
Speaker 6: I don't know why they limited it to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 9: I don't know why they limited it to you have
Speaker 9: to be behind, to be honest with you, I maybe
Speaker 9: they they I mean, it is a more dangerous place,
Speaker 9: and maybe they wanted to make sure that there were
Speaker 9: a fewer of them. But yeah, what they would do
Speaker 9: now is I think you still have to be behind.
Speaker 9: But but the on side kick would be out in
Speaker 9: all four quarters. Obviously you have to declare it because
Speaker 9: it's completely different formation and play than than am if
Speaker 9: I kickoff.
Speaker 3: I know you're busy.
Speaker 2: Thank you for spending time Albert anytime, Dan appreciate it.
Speaker 2: That's Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 2: Tried to get a better connection there, but uh, sorry
Speaker 2: about that, but Albert gonna have a busy day and
Speaker 2: try to have him on again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paulling, it is interesting that the kickoff that we
Speaker 5: didn't really like the setup of the kickoff. But if
Speaker 5: you can get more action, people are gonna I think
Speaker 5: the fans will love it or get used to it
Speaker 5: because you actually have action, not just a guy taking
Speaker 5: a knee.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it looks silly.
Speaker 2: It looks silly if there's no action that the guys
Speaker 2: are just standing there and then you kick it and
Speaker 2: then nothing really happens, at least if you're going to
Speaker 2: stand there like you're guarding the Palace in London and
Speaker 2: then you get to run after somebody and something's in play. Great,
Speaker 2: Or if you kick it in the end zone you
Speaker 2: get the ball at the thirty five or can you
Speaker 2: move the kicker back to where But you know, then,
Speaker 2: you know, you got guys who have really strong legs
Speaker 2: and they would probably still be able to put it
Speaker 2: into the end zone. But I think we're all in
Speaker 2: favor of having a little more action on kickoffs. Jim
Speaker 2: in Ohio, Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10: Good morning Dan? Good morning Dan. The previous caller.
Speaker 2: About you had the that's not good either, Jim, that's
Speaker 2: not good call back. See if we can get a
Speaker 2: better connection there. Lou in Indiana, Hi Lou, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 10: Hi Dan, Thanks for taking my call. You were talking
Speaker 10: about last four year great college player. I was where
Speaker 10: Zach you would sit in there? He played four years
Speaker 10: of produce, two time national player, got to the championship game,
Speaker 10: and just happened to be playing against one of the
Speaker 10: greatest college seamson in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach Eaty would be in there.
Speaker 2: Two time college player the year never won a national title,
Speaker 2: so that takes him out of the running with all
Speaker 2: of those great players who did win at least one
Speaker 2: national title. But Latner might be the last great decorated
Speaker 2: college basketball player because he stayed for four years with
Speaker 2: the women. They're staying for four years. That's why you
Speaker 2: know Rihanna Stewart, she might be the greatest women's college
Speaker 2: basketball player of all time. You when you go four
Speaker 2: for four and you're the most outstanding player in all
Speaker 2: four of those national championship runs, can't improve upon that? Now,
Speaker 2: you might say individually no, But if I'm looking at
Speaker 2: what you accomplished and you were the most outstanding player
Speaker 2: and your team won titles four for four, that puts
Speaker 2: you on a very, very very short list of the
Speaker 2: great women's college basketball players of all time.
Speaker 11: Yes, Marvin, And for Paige, if she wants to be
Speaker 11: on that list, she's got to win a national title
Speaker 11: this year. Obviously this is the last go round, and
Speaker 11: especially at Yukon. She doesn't crack the top five Yukon
Speaker 11: women's players of all time without a national title.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like Caitlin Clark that you have the purest
Speaker 2: with the women's game saying, well, you can't say she's
Speaker 2: the greatest of all times. She didn't win a national championship, okay,
Speaker 2: but she changed the game. The all time leading scorer.
Speaker 2: It's like Pete Maravich, Pete Marivitch all time leading scorer,
Speaker 2: didn't win a national championship, didn't even come close. Now,
Speaker 2: he didn't have a good team, but you know, Pete
Speaker 2: getting forty four to night, but they went to the NIT.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he played in the well
Speaker 2: back then the NIT was probably still favored over the NCAA.
Speaker 3: But never won a national championship. But he was unstoppable.
Speaker 2: Whereas Bill Walton and Luel Sindor, they're winning national championships there.
Speaker 2: So if you're including Christian Laehner winning national championships, Tim
Speaker 2: Duncan didn't win anything. Grant Hill won a national title,
Speaker 2: you know. So you're you're looking at players, and if
Speaker 2: you're going to say greatest players of all time, we
Speaker 2: tend to start at the back end and then work
Speaker 2: our way to the front of how many titles do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 3: Now? What else did you do? Well?
Speaker 2: Take a break, Adam Lefko on loan from TNT will
Speaker 2: stop buy and more of your phone calls as well.

Speaker 2: You know, I'm always fascinated with Trey Young, but it
Speaker 2: just feels like he's had a career. Aside from going
Speaker 2: to the Eastern Conference Finals where he puts up really
Speaker 2: good numbers, it's just his team is mired in mediocrity.
Speaker 2: He's like a twenty seven to ten guy, and you go, man,
Speaker 2: and then you just go, what's his career going to be?
Speaker 15: Like?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 5: Could he be one of those guys who has a
Speaker 5: second act where he's maybe Option one A with a
Speaker 5: better team?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I think he's going to need that. Yes,
Speaker 3: Ton And that was the new assistant GM of Oklahoma basket.
Speaker 6: Of what he does on the.
Speaker 2: Court, I saw that he followed Steph Curry's blueprint there.
Speaker 2: So he's the assistant GM for Oklahoma Basketball. Adam Lefko

Speaker 2: How's the ego? I mean, you know you're getting a
Speaker 2: lot of run now people know your name. You're talking
Speaker 2: to big time celebrities. Thanks for taking time out for
Speaker 2: this little show.
Speaker 7: People stop me in the airport. It took a hit
Speaker 7: in a good way.
Speaker 3: Do they stop you in a good way?
Speaker 7: Yeah, they say, hey, stop running into the idiots. No,
Speaker 7: my ego took a huge hit after I came in
Speaker 7: here and I talked about Angel Reese and I argued
Speaker 7: with you, and the internet did stuff, and then you
Speaker 7: didn't have me on your show for like eight months.
Speaker 7: And then I would occasionally text you and be like, man,
Speaker 7: Caitlyn Clark is so good. Just trying to appease your
Speaker 7: what I thought was an ego and.
Speaker 3: So no, I just I thought I got to be
Speaker 3: honest with you.
Speaker 2: Though, Adam, I didn't know that you were doing it
Speaker 2: for a reason. When you would just randomly I wanted.
Speaker 7: To talk to you, Dan you.
Speaker 2: You would randomly send me a text going, man, that
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark is phenomenal, and I'd be like, yeah, how
Speaker 2: am I supposed to answer that?
Speaker 3: Of course she is.
Speaker 2: Now I understand that you were trying to curry favor
Speaker 2: or trying to win me back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I rewatched the video and I was like
Speaker 7: I think it was actually angry and no, so to
Speaker 7: know that maybe that wasn't the case.
Speaker 3: What was the argument were you? Were you defending Angel
Speaker 3: Reese and I thought I.
Speaker 7: Was talking Angel Reese. It was like stop was at
Speaker 7: the very highest, like they had won eight in a row,
Speaker 7: and I was like, I don't know, dance, she might
Speaker 7: win Rookie of the Year, and you were like, idiot,
Speaker 7: I've been in sports for me seventy years.
Speaker 3: But all right, well, glad to have you back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Adam Sandler, happy Gilmore hoodie.
Speaker 7: Wow. By the way, you gotta wear that, like what
Speaker 7: once a month? You can't wear that too often.
Speaker 2: I know I've probably gone to it a little too
Speaker 2: often because you know people, Yeah, he got the lime green.
Speaker 2: My daughter's in New York and she's walking along the
Speaker 2: West Side Highway where they have basketball courts tennis courts.
Speaker 2: She looks over and she sees somebody in a floral
Speaker 2: shirt and baggy basketball shorts, and she calls me FaceTime.
Speaker 2: She goes Dad, Adam Sandler is playing a pickup game
Speaker 2: and she face times me. So I'm watching Sandler for
Speaker 2: like five minutes on FaceTime, trying to yell at him,
Speaker 2: and it was you know, he gathered a crowd there
Speaker 2: going pickup basketball and he'll play anywhere with anybody. And
Speaker 2: he was in town for a charity thing.
Speaker 7: See we're watching We're watching random sixteen year olds on
Speaker 7: Twitch and there's millions of viewers. We should be streaming
Speaker 7: the Sandler pickup basketball. I would watch that on a
Speaker 7: on a Tuesday at two pm, I'm watching Sandler take
Speaker 7: down random bags.
Speaker 2: The why I'm in well, he sent me a picture
Speaker 2: the last time he was playing in Lower Manhattan with
Speaker 2: Timothy Challo May. Yeah, and actually he said Chalomey's got
Speaker 2: some game.
Speaker 3: So I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 7: When I saw that. Timothy Challoway on two separate interviews,
Speaker 7: one said his style icon is Kenny the Jet Smith
Speaker 7: and then said his dream role is playing Ernie Johnson
Speaker 7: in a bio. I went, this dude is definitely one
Speaker 7: of the guys up at one am watching Inside. Also,
Speaker 7: when did it become biopic and not biopick? When did
Speaker 7: we make that switch?
Speaker 3: I have a problem with it as well.
Speaker 2: I thought it was it was biopick, but I've heard
Speaker 2: you know, and it's.
Speaker 7: Because someone British probably said bioperic and we went well,
Speaker 7: they're always right?
Speaker 2: Are you okay? With the Final four? The heavyweight, I
Speaker 2: couldn't love it more.
Speaker 7: I've always been someone where I like, I wish we
Speaker 7: had more upsets than the round one, but I like
Speaker 7: all my upsets to happen in the round of sixty four.
Speaker 7: And then I like amazing basketball because at this point
Speaker 7: the ratings are going to be higher than they've ever been,
Speaker 7: the storylines right themselves. I think the Duke Houston game
Speaker 7: is going to be incredible. I mean, Houston member Jamal
Speaker 7: shed got hurt last year against Duke in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 7: They went out there, they retooled with Uzan and so
Speaker 7: the motivation from that side, the seniors versus the stud freshman,
Speaker 7: and on the other side you get the sec storyline
Speaker 7: battle that everyone's been obsessed with it. This is the
Speaker 7: best case scenario, just like the twenty seventeen Final four
Speaker 7: was amazing as well.
Speaker 2: He's Adam lefco NBA on TNT Inside the NBA, also
Speaker 2: co host of The Big Podcast with Chack dan Patrick
Speaker 2: Shut the Hell Up, Turner's Sports March Madness studio host
Speaker 2: as well. We have already trademarked this. We wanted to
Speaker 2: do tanking tops for like the Pelicans. They have to
Speaker 2: wear tanking tops because they're tanking for flow.
Speaker 7: Like pennies, like at high school practice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you must love them. You have to wear
Speaker 2: tanking tops in practice.
Speaker 7: Because tanking isn't obvious enough, then we need to make
Speaker 7: it more obvious when they're playing.
Speaker 2: Yes, as we want to shame them. Are the Sixers tanking?
Speaker 7: Yeah, like it seems like it. It seems like half
Speaker 7: the league is tanking because they too are watching the
Speaker 7: final for and seeing Cooper flag. This is the time
Speaker 7: of the year when everyone tries to solve tanking, and
Speaker 7: my solve is just watch games like Houston, LA and
Speaker 7: Minnesota Denver and just don't pay attention to them. I
Speaker 7: think it's do you change the weight of the lottery?
Speaker 7: Is if you're not in the lottery? Is everyone got
Speaker 7: a chance to have the first pick in the draft?
Speaker 7: It's the same thing. I'm an also an Eagles fan.
Speaker 7: A ban the tush push, it's I don't know. It
Speaker 7: just all seems unnecessary and excessive and arguing about like
Speaker 7: the parts of sports that you actually don't care about.
Speaker 3: What's left to be settled with two weeks to go
Speaker 3: in the season.
Speaker 7: So right now the West is a cluster in terms
Speaker 7: of seating, and I think everyone is either trying to
Speaker 7: fake like if Houston gets the two seed, sort of
Speaker 7: like we had a few years ago where everyone was
Speaker 7: jocking to get seven to face Memphis because they were younger.
Speaker 7: That seems to be the right now. I mean, you
Speaker 7: have some great teams in the West playing Minnesota's a
Speaker 7: dangerous team, the Clippers are showing to be a dangerous team.
Speaker 7: And then in the East, it's right now one, two, three,
Speaker 7: look set and then do the Pacers get the four?
Speaker 7: Where are the Bucks that I would love to see Bucks, Pacers,
Speaker 7: Piston's Knicks, I think is the best matchup in that
Speaker 7: middle ground. I don't think anyone's messing with Boston or Cleveland.
Speaker 7: But on the West, you're trying to avoid the thunder
Speaker 7: for as long as possible, and you're probably trying to
Speaker 7: take on Houston because they can't score in a half
Speaker 7: court offense. And like we saw with Memphis all those years,
Speaker 7: you could be great in transition and offensive rebound, but
Speaker 7: once the playoffs start and it's called differently. If you
Speaker 7: can't score in a slow down game, they're going to
Speaker 7: be in trouble.
Speaker 2: Does the success of the Lakers hinge on them playing defense?
Speaker 7: You know, in last night they put up one of three,
Speaker 7: I would say it it is. I would say also,
Speaker 7: it's the other three point shooters. Last night gave Vincent, Dori,
Speaker 7: Anthony Smith hit twelve threes combined and put up forty points.
Speaker 7: And so Luca and Lebron are going to do their thing.
Speaker 7: I don't think we're going to get Austin Reeves dropping
Speaker 7: thirty points all the time. But who else could hit
Speaker 7: threes when Luca and Lebron dish Because Luca's gravitational pull,
Speaker 7: as you know, is so strong, just like it was
Speaker 7: in Dallas. You need the Reggie Bullocks. You need those
Speaker 7: guys on the outside that can hit those threes when
Speaker 7: it matters. Defensively, though, Can we rely on lebron weak
Speaker 7: side blocks and to clutch every game? I don't think.
Speaker 7: So they went out and tried to trade for Mark Williams,
Speaker 7: the center for Charlotte, who just went off for another
Speaker 7: eighteen and thirteen. I don't know what happened with that
Speaker 7: injury scan, but they showed us right there they needed
Speaker 7: another big They didn't have it. And that's why for me,
Speaker 7: the Lakers run is more likely next year condition.
Speaker 3: More all in on okay See or Cleveland.
Speaker 7: Okay see that that was the wrong Eastern Conference team
Speaker 7: to mention for me, I'm a Boston guy. I think
Speaker 7: that Boston right now is a little bit like Oka
Speaker 7: See where I feel like and I don't think they're
Speaker 7: intentionally resting, but hey, Jalen Brown, you're off to that,
Speaker 7: just like okay See, Hey Jalen Williams takes the more
Speaker 7: rest Boston right now, I would take over. I just
Speaker 7: I'm still I'm still I need to see it with
Speaker 7: Cleveland and I'm just boring like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I and the same thing with OKAC. We still
Speaker 3: need to see it.
Speaker 7: I don't know why I have more faith in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 7: Maybe it's because and I know, Cleveland battle Boston and
Speaker 7: battle back, and I've beaten Boston. I watched that okay
Speaker 7: see Boston game a few weeks ago with Chuck and
Speaker 7: I was just I was flabbergaston, Like we were just
Speaker 7: sitting there watching Oklahoma City play defense. And typically, like
Speaker 7: last night, Boston'll swing, swing, swing, and by the fourth
Speaker 7: swing they caught you in a bad defensive shift. But
Speaker 7: Oklahoma City is five guys that can all switch. It's
Speaker 7: lou Dor, It's Caruso, both of their bigs, you know,
Speaker 7: Chett Hartenstein can switch. And I think against Boston you
Speaker 7: need to have that position versatility, and I think they
Speaker 7: have it, and I think I don't know. I trust
Speaker 7: Dagnal a lot. I trust. I do trust the Thunder
Speaker 7: even though they haven't done it.
Speaker 2: Who's more interesting when the camera's not on Barkley or Shack.
Speaker 7: Interesting in different ways. Chuck is so Chuck will go
Speaker 7: out in public and we'll interact with everybody, which I
Speaker 7: find endearing but also wildly annoying because you're never going
Speaker 7: to get the story finished. So then Adam, as I
Speaker 7: was telling you the Keda life is, Oh you want
Speaker 7: a picture? Okay? Can you send them around the drinks? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Where are you from? Honey? That's great? And you're like
Speaker 7: where Shaq is like, we're going to go into a
Speaker 7: private room by ourselves, and he's gonna, you know, Shaq
Speaker 7: is going to tell you business stories about how he
Speaker 7: walked into a boardroom. Was like, I'm sure, whereas Chuck
Speaker 7: is going to tell you a story about you know,
Speaker 7: Barcelona in ninety two. Very different people, but they're the
Speaker 7: best when they're together. You know, they're like they're peanut,
Speaker 7: butter and jail.
Speaker 2: I like though that Chack didn't want money from a company.
Speaker 2: He wanted part of the company he wanted.
Speaker 7: And now Chuck is finally in his equity bag. You know,
Speaker 7: now he's got Redmont and Vodka and he's got all
Speaker 7: of his companies. I want to know, you know, there's
Speaker 7: a there's a chill that goes through the halls of
Speaker 7: TNT when we get an alert that says Charles Barkley
Speaker 7: on The Dan Patrick Show today, And I just want
Speaker 7: to know, like, is this like the Manchurian candidate. Do
Speaker 7: you have like a little node in the back of
Speaker 7: his brain where you get him to say anything? Like
Speaker 7: what have you done to this man? How have you
Speaker 7: controlled his brain?
Speaker 2: One of the first times I met him, I did
Speaker 2: a Sunday conversation when he was still no he was
Speaker 2: with Phoenix, although I did meet him when he was
Speaker 2: with the seventy six ers, but he talked about being
Speaker 2: a woman, and so we had somebody at ESPN kind
Speaker 2: of make him up as a woman and we use
Speaker 2: the picture on the Sunday conversation with him, and he
Speaker 2: got the biggest kick out of that, and then I
Speaker 2: like I would just see him and he stayed in touch,
Speaker 2: and it always feels like like that's our normal conversation.
Speaker 2: If I'm around Reggie Miller, that'd be a normal conversation.
Speaker 2: Around Charles, normal conversation. So all I try to do
Speaker 2: is bring normalcy to something that isn't normal, and that's
Speaker 2: an interview over zoom and Jack falls or Charles falls
Speaker 2: for it every time.
Speaker 7: It's I think he loves he loves talking to people.
Speaker 7: He loves to talk to is one. Both of those
Speaker 7: two people are top two in terms of love being themselves.
Speaker 7: Chuck loves being Chuck and Shack loves being Shack and
Speaker 7: they've earned that. But Chuck to a tea like last night,
Speaker 7: I thought it'd be funny because I hit a parleg
Speaker 7: C and T and Chuck has yet to hit one
Speaker 7: this year, and that was my second, and so I
Speaker 7: was like, let me FaceTime, Chuck will understand, I know,
Speaker 7: and he picked it up and I knew I was
Speaker 7: in trouble. Dan when he had his clear glasses and
Speaker 7: they were towards the edge of his nose, because as
Speaker 7: Chuck is out, they get further and further down, and
Speaker 7: then the talking gets louder and louder. And so I
Speaker 7: tried and he he got me, and then I facetimed
Speaker 7: him afterwards, and all I heard was like ten dudes laughing,
Speaker 7: And I was like, where are you? He was like, oh,
Speaker 7: I'm out with the fellas. We were watching you. And
Speaker 7: when I saw you FaceTime me, I was like, you
Speaker 7: knew and you still tried to end my life and
Speaker 7: he was like, yeah, yeah, that's that's Chuck Man language.
Speaker 7: He's the goat.
Speaker 3: Great job. I hope you're having fun.
Speaker 7: I'm having a blast. Can I ask you for advice?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 7: Did you ever cover like tennis, like extensively or just
Speaker 7: sports singing?
Speaker 3: I reported on it.
Speaker 2: I don't like the US Open, but I didn't do
Speaker 2: anything where it was, you know, like Chris Baller calling matches.
Speaker 7: Oh no, never. We're hosts, Dan, We're not play by people.
Speaker 7: They're a whole weird. They like being on the road
Speaker 7: and staying in the counter lodges. That's not our lives. Yes,
Speaker 7: we like cushiness. We like someone that comes and puts
Speaker 7: our if feedback.
Speaker 3: Are you going to be a host.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm I'm at the point where I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 7: I'm starting to doing March Madness, and I'm thinking about
Speaker 7: other sports. What about baseball, about tennis? Things like that.
Speaker 7: How what is when you start to go, Okay, I'm
Speaker 7: going to throw myself into another sport. I'm going to
Speaker 7: really study and learn. How do you how do you say, well,
Speaker 7: the greatest of all time? How do you throw yourself
Speaker 7: into a new sport?
Speaker 3: I throw it.
Speaker 2: I go into the deep end, but I go into
Speaker 2: the deep end with people who have been with the
Speaker 2: sport for a long long time.
Speaker 3: So they are my floaties. I'm in the deep end.
Speaker 2: But I have these guys Mike Millberry when I did hockey,
Speaker 2: you know, you can just ask these guys. There's so
Speaker 2: many guys that, especially in that sport, who want to
Speaker 2: help you. And that helped me greatly when I went
Speaker 2: to the Olympics. You throw yourself in with Bob Costace
Speaker 2: and al Michaels. I have the two greatest and you know,
Speaker 2: so now I just take I just listen.
Speaker 3: But if you're going to.
Speaker 2: Do that, be around people who have done this, because
Speaker 2: they want to know if you're real or not. They
Speaker 2: and I just go in and I just say, hey,
Speaker 2: as if I don't know anything, help me understand these things.
Speaker 2: And you'll be amazed at how much help that you like,
Speaker 2: Doc Emrick, I just wanted to know how much he
Speaker 2: why do you love the game so much? And he
Speaker 2: gave me that costas with the Olympic and get you know,
Speaker 2: you work so hard, you know, consecutive days. It's a
Speaker 2: grind working the Olympics. But he said, you'll get like
Speaker 2: it'll hit you and you'll get caught up in it
Speaker 2: and you'll just be on overdrive. You'll just be on adrenaline.
Speaker 2: And it was great. You know, those are very very beneficial.
Speaker 2: But as a result, I'm doing that now. When Tony
Speaker 2: Dungee and Rodney Harrison came in to football tonight, I said,
Speaker 2: I want you to put your egos to the side.
Speaker 2: I'm going to help you learn TV. You know football,
Speaker 2: I'm going to help you with TV. And I think
Speaker 2: that's the important part is you can play a role
Speaker 2: to other you know, people coming up, but people will
Speaker 2: play a role with you to help you understand the
Speaker 2: nuance certain things you say and don't say. Terminology is
Speaker 2: really big if somebody says, oh, you're in the bust
Speaker 2: or you're in the sand trap, Well, it's like you
Speaker 2: get the people who will watch the sport will go
Speaker 2: be Oh, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh he's out at home base. No, it's home place.
Speaker 2: You know, silly things like that. But the more you're
Speaker 2: around people who love the sport and they're almost watch dogs,
Speaker 2: lifeguards for it, that'll help you.
Speaker 3: I think it was beautiful.
Speaker 7: I appreciate you, Dan, And Hey, Caitlin Clark MVP. Baby,
Speaker 7: you got it this year, Dan, this is the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think she's finally gonna get the credit that
Speaker 2: she's due.

Speaker 7: just feel like they need to watch her.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I don't know where they're going to watch her or
Speaker 7: find her. I don't know if she's got any national TV,
Speaker 7: but she deserves. Thank you. Lefko, love you.

Speaker 2: round of applause for everybody here. Mike in New Jersey, Hi, Mike,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15: Thanks for taking my call this morning, Dan, appreciate it.
Speaker 15: Uh five eleven and a tone one five. So I've
Speaker 15: been with my girlfriend for about seven months now and
Speaker 15: things have been going great. We've been active and all that,
Speaker 15: and uh, I wake up and and from time to
Speaker 15: time we've been talked about going back to our celibate
Speaker 15: ways before we get married, and uh, we haven't taken
Speaker 15: that on. But this morning she wakes up and she says, Uh,
Speaker 15: it's like, Mike, I think we need to become celibate
Speaker 15: until until we get married. And uh, I was taking
Speaker 15: it really hard, and I was like, all right, I'm
Speaker 15: gonna do this, do this for my girlfriend. And then
Speaker 15: and then as she gets ready and goes out the door,
Speaker 15: and she's like, she's like, by the way, Uh, April
Speaker 15: Fool's on the celibacy. Oh, thanks, welcome.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Mike. Uh credit to your
Speaker 2: girlfriend there. We're active in stuff. I'm like, uh, okay,
Speaker 2: getting busy. Harpo in South Carolina. Hi, harpo, Thank you
Speaker 2: McCall deeply.
Speaker 8: Uh, that's the real deal in the Coastal Carolina freebie.
Speaker 8: No April Fools there, but it is more credible being
Speaker 8: close to the coast than in the Toddler being the
Speaker 8: King of comedy.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Coastal Carolina is closer to the coast than
Speaker 2: todd is to the King of Comedy. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we were talking about Coastal Carolina where you go to
Speaker 2: their football games and all the snacks are free, SODA's,
Speaker 2: hot dogs, nachos, unlimited popcorn, beer. You still have to
Speaker 2: pay for certain other specialty items, and we thought, wait
Speaker 2: a minute. You know, you get about twenty one thousand
Speaker 2: for each home game. That's a lot of snacks that
Speaker 2: you're handed out. But then Seaton pulled the curtain back
Speaker 2: and he's like, uh, you know, they probably get you
Speaker 2: on an app and then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 2: they monetize that somehow.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's the case or not, but
Speaker 4: the story was definitely like every time you go up there,
Speaker 4: you have to use this app, and we're going to
Speaker 4: release that app eventually. Like, well, there's gotta be some
Speaker 4: kind of data play there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe so yeah, Paul, I.
Speaker 5: Wonder if that will catch on people like to imitate
Speaker 5: other schools. Will other schools say, look what they're doing.
Speaker 2: I don't think Ohio State and Michigan or do that
Speaker 2: for one hundred thousand people Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Everything's free. Do you have treadmills there?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 3: Do you have health experts? There?
Speaker 6: A coupon for we Gov help them out?
Speaker 3: Give me something.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on the way, Yes, we have to talk
Speaker 2: about the torpedo bats.
Speaker 3: Jeff Passing for the Mothership will join
