Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Spend a lot of time talking about Lakers
Speaker 1: Rockets last night. You also have a Game seven coming
Speaker 1: up tonight with Celtics and the Raptors, Nuggets and the
Speaker 1: Clippers also going at it. A lot of college football
Speaker 1: this weekend, not necessarily great matchups, PAULI, what is the
Speaker 1: best most competitive matchup this weekend in college football? Most competitive?
Speaker 1: It's not the greatest slate, but you have some marquee teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in action, Notre Dame starts with Duke. Now that doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like it'd be tough, but duke football is a
Speaker 1: lot better than it used to be. Clemson, Wake Forest
Speaker 1: doesn't do a lot for you, Missouri State, Oklahoma and defense,
Speaker 1: but Duke football is not duke football from a long time.
Speaker 1: What is the point spread there with Notre Dame and
Speaker 1: Duke and does that add given twenty at home? Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't, okay, I still like Duke to cover. No,
Speaker 1: you do, don't, don't bet on it. Chiefs handled the
Speaker 1: Texans third for twenty Clyde Edwards Laire the HS silent
Speaker 1: goes for one thirty eight and a touchdown. The Lakers
Speaker 1: go up three one on the Rockets, and I would
Speaker 1: say it's pretty much done with the Rockets there. Now
Speaker 1: you start to look at styles and I love to
Speaker 1: see and we always talk about regular season in postseason.
Speaker 1: It's the same way with other sports like the NFL.
Speaker 1: You know, is it a style that is sustainable in
Speaker 1: the postseason? Like the Titans. You know, you do that
Speaker 1: during the regular season, nobody notices you do that. In
Speaker 1: the postseason, everybody notices because now you're just running the
Speaker 1: ball down people's throats. San Francisco is a running team
Speaker 1: last year, The Colts a running team last year, The
Speaker 1: Packers a running team last year. I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are going to be more of a running team this year.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a running team. We talk about the
Speaker 1: proliferation of passers and the numbers here, but you're seeing
Speaker 1: teams that still want to run the football, need to
Speaker 1: run the football, and you protect your quarterback that way. Well.
Speaker 1: Kansas City last night, this the first time I think
Speaker 1: in Mahomes's career that they ran the ball as much
Speaker 1: as they did and you know you're not going to
Speaker 1: touch him. He got hit three times last night. The
Speaker 1: team had thirty four rushing attempts. That's the most in
Speaker 1: any game started by Patrick Mahomes. By the way, Mahomes
Speaker 1: is mister September. Now he might be mister February as well,
Speaker 1: but he has thrown twenty six touchdown passes in the
Speaker 1: month of September with zero interceptions. He has not lost
Speaker 1: a game in September. He's now eight no in his career.
Speaker 1: After last night's win, SAT days, who's asleep with the wheel?
Speaker 1: Out of the day? Sat of the day? Last stat
Speaker 1: of the day, stat of the day? Here comes that?
Speaker 1: What stat of the day. Also with the Lakers win
Speaker 1: last night, Anthony Davison his last five games and I've
Speaker 1: been saying, I've been shouting he has to be his
Speaker 1: best player on the floor in every game they play,
Speaker 1: and he has to be the best player last five
Speaker 1: games thirty one points, twelve rebound, shooting sixty five percent
Speaker 1: from the floor. First player with at least twenty five
Speaker 1: points on fifty five percent shooting in five straight playoff
Speaker 1: games since Shaquille O'Neil. Stat of the day, stat of
Speaker 1: the day, that beast stat of the day. Stat of
Speaker 1: the day, here comes that? What stat of the day. Also,
Speaker 1: you know who's a mystery to me is Kyle Kuzma.
Speaker 1: You know, we saw him in college and then we
Speaker 1: saw him in the early part of his career, the
Speaker 1: embryonic stages where you go, Okay, there's glimpses there, some
Speaker 1: talent there, good shooter, and it feels like he might
Speaker 1: just enjoy being a Laker more than he enjoys trying
Speaker 1: to be a great player, because I can go good
Speaker 1: game non factor, good game non factor, and with that talent,
Speaker 1: you know, you and being able, and it's tough to
Speaker 1: be on a team with Lebron and kind of figure
Speaker 1: out your roles sometimes for a younger player. And now
Speaker 1: you throw in Anthony Davis, and I know he's trying
Speaker 1: to find his spots. You know, he's not going to
Speaker 1: pull a Michael Porter junior where he goes, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I need to get some touches here. I like how
Speaker 1: some of the NBA players came out and blasted Michael
Speaker 1: Porter the Nuggets. What he said, you know, we gotta
Speaker 1: get some touches for me here. Can't be going to
Speaker 1: the Joker and Jamal Murray all the time, Yeah you can.
Speaker 1: This guy's been in the NBA for eight games, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is supply and demand. Fairness is overrated when it
Speaker 1: comes to a shot selection in the NBA. Like Michael
Speaker 1: Porter Junior, the third's gonna be telling his team, Hey,
Speaker 1: I need my touches out here. Yeah, all right, how
Speaker 1: about we built up a little bit more of a
Speaker 1: resume poll question? Nick Levin were staying with the question
Speaker 1: we've had, Yeah, because it's interesting the results. What game
Speaker 1: do you least want to watch? I've never had this,
Speaker 1: but there's a four way tie for games. The Jets, Bills, Cults,
Speaker 1: Jaguars are actually both at twenty three point nine four percent,
Speaker 1: then the Raider Panthers twenty three percent, Eagles watching the
Speaker 1: twenty three percent Titans Broncos the only one people didn't
Speaker 1: put on there. Yeah, Titans Bronco is a good game.
Speaker 1: Titans made the ANFC title game. I think they're kind
Speaker 1: above the other teams on this poll. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what we have with Denver. And I'm really
Speaker 1: interested because everybody wants to Chris and Drew Locke is
Speaker 1: the next great quarterback, and I'm just not. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I watched him at Missouri. I watched him
Speaker 1: his junior year and I really like what I saw,
Speaker 1: and then I watched him his senior year and I
Speaker 1: didn't like as much what I saw. Strong arm I
Speaker 1: always now I gotta say it this way. He got
Speaker 1: a big arm, because there there's a big arm and
Speaker 1: a good arm. A good arm means you also have accuracy.
Speaker 1: I want to have a good arm, right, because you
Speaker 1: can have a big arm, and that doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 1: To say he has a good arm is the same
Speaker 1: as a big arm. I don't think good arm doesn't
Speaker 1: mean accurate. Accurate means at he's got a good arm
Speaker 1: usually is slightly implying that he's inaccurate, Like Josh Allen
Speaker 1: has a good arm. Okay, how about this description he's
Speaker 1: a good passer. Oh that's interesting. Isn't that better? Because
Speaker 1: I don't care your arm strength as much as does
Speaker 1: it get from point A to point B? And does
Speaker 1: it get there and you complete it? Because Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees don't have a big arm, but can
Speaker 1: they get the ball from point A to point B
Speaker 1: on time? And if they do, their teams will be
Speaker 1: very successful this year. Josh Allen may have the strongest
Speaker 1: arm in football, but he's not Patrick Mahomes who has
Speaker 1: maybe the second strongest arm, but he can get it
Speaker 1: from point A to point B. No, that wasn't a
Speaker 1: stat of the desk. It felt like the right time
Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, bullet, would you rather be an
Speaker 1: average NFL quarterback who's known for having a big arm
Speaker 1: or very little accuracy or an average NFL quarterback with
Speaker 1: no arm kind of a soft thrower, but really accurate
Speaker 1: And I'm a game manager. Well, Joe Montana didn't have
Speaker 1: a big arm, but he could throw it where he
Speaker 1: needed to throw it. Steve Young didn't have a big
Speaker 1: arm when you throw it to your receivers. That's the
Speaker 1: kind of arm that I'm like. Joe Burrow, I don't
Speaker 1: think has a great a big arm, but but it
Speaker 1: felt like he has an accurate arm. That's what I
Speaker 1: want because there are guys Ryan Mallett had a big arm,
Speaker 1: it didn't have an accurate arm. Yes, yeah, that nobody's
Speaker 1: getting all worked up over accuracy. And you see how
Speaker 1: far he through that? Yeah it only went fifteen yards,
Speaker 1: but man, was it right on target? It is true
Speaker 1: that we love that big arm. You can take chop
Speaker 1: off the defense there, Yeah, ball, there's always those videos
Speaker 1: around March where Quarterbacks Pro Day, he threw it seventy
Speaker 1: nine yards. And then he's in the G League in
Speaker 1: the year League, and then here I am with a
Speaker 1: bet with John Caliperry that I can throw the ball
Speaker 1: forty five yards. I can't throw it to anybody, but
Speaker 1: I can throw it over forty five yards. Yes, week eleven,
Speaker 1: remember Kyle Bowler threw fifty yards from his knees. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: that's true. He up like three rounds. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: has to be the NFL of all pass that. Now
Speaker 1: everyone only values accuracy and arm strength is like considered bad.
Speaker 1: But I would rather my quarterback through fifty yards from
Speaker 1: his feet. Notes like is he down? And he actually
Speaker 1: can't make that play. Yeah, he threw it fifty yards
Speaker 1: from his knees. Mahomes kind of does that. He would
Speaker 1: probably do that. Yeah, now you can do anything right now.
Speaker 1: But now everyone's like a college accuracy If you don't
Speaker 1: remember people passed on Lamarch. Actually he said only completed
Speaker 1: sixty percent of his passes in college. That was wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: and I remember watching Louisville games and then people say, oh,
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are wide open competitions not that great.
Speaker 1: Once again, we talk ourselves out of certain players at
Speaker 1: certain positions, and we certainly do that in the quarterbacking position.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you do well and can
Speaker 1: you continue to do that well? Can you do that
Speaker 1: better than anybody else? And I'll just throw out Steve
Speaker 1: Nash for instance, because he came out of Santa Clara
Speaker 1: and people said, oh, not strong enough, not quick enough.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like he's a good ball handler
Speaker 1: and has good for him and his shot. He can't
Speaker 1: guard anybody in the NBA. Steph Curry, well, he's not
Speaker 1: a two point guard and he's going to get exposed
Speaker 1: on defense. Defense is going to beat him up. And look,
Speaker 1: nobody looked at those two players. And by the way,
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, one of his idols was Steve Nash, by
Speaker 1: the way he played, Nobody said, but what they do
Speaker 1: really well, they do better than anybody or as well
Speaker 1: as anybody. And here you have Nashale Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: and you have Steph Curry, the greatest shooter of all time.
Speaker 1: But we didn't look at the positives. It's always going
Speaker 1: to be the negatives here. And you can even go back,
Speaker 1: you know, with Luca don Chick and you know, could
Speaker 1: he do that in the NBA? Not fast, he can't jump,
Speaker 1: he's not quick, So you talk yourself out of it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they'd say about Larry Bird if
Speaker 1: he came out of college now and you know what
Speaker 1: he played, like, Larry Bird can't be the Larry Bird type.
Speaker 1: You know, we're always looking for he's a Larry Bird type.
Speaker 1: Like who would we compare Larry Bird to? Who was
Speaker 1: Larry Bird compared to when he was coming out? You know,
Speaker 1: you know he's a Tommy Heinzen type or something. He's
Speaker 1: a halt now he wasn't like havlcheck. Yes, boy, I
Speaker 1: was going back to think about guys who are known
Speaker 1: for being accurate and not had big arms. If you
Speaker 1: could look at the when Teddy Bridgewater came out of Louisville,
Speaker 1: he led the league, led the NCAA in percentage passing percentage,
Speaker 1: and all his accolades going to the draft was the accuracy,
Speaker 1: nothing about his arm strength, and nothing about his running
Speaker 1: because he was not a runner. And they ripped him
Speaker 1: on his pro jay. Remember he had a bad pro day,
Speaker 1: And I said, but watch his games. And so once
Speaker 1: again we looked at the negative instead of the positive.
Speaker 1: He was tough and I loved Teddy Bridgewater when he
Speaker 1: was in college. And if he doesn't injure his knee,
Speaker 1: you know, then maybe we look at him differently with
Speaker 1: his career. But he got a second chance, well a
Speaker 1: third chance, because he played well with the same so
Speaker 1: he got the contract with Carolina. Yeah. Mcgleam. I find
Speaker 1: it really hard to understand college stats because are so crazy,
Speaker 1: Like Justin Herbert completed like eighty percent of his passes,
Speaker 1: but were they all screen passes? Like all these offenses
Speaker 1: are a little quick pass. Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins,
Speaker 1: all those guys, they're like perfect in college now, So
Speaker 1: how do you know what's college or what's real. It
Speaker 1: is difficult because it feels like you have you know,
Speaker 1: players are open. You don't have to throw a player open.
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you do that, and that's the that's
Speaker 1: the eye opener for these young quarterbacks. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: that's a tight window, but you have to throw a
Speaker 1: receiver open. It's not like, hey, my tight end at
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is wide open, or I got Cedee Lamb going
Speaker 1: down the seam. You know, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: So you're not even you're not quite sure, like, is
Speaker 1: it the system? Is it? The rules? Is that the quarterback?
Speaker 1: Is that the coach? There's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: go into that. Speaking of quarterback play, Miami's got a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, Derrick King. Now, he played for Houston and
Speaker 1: then he transferred. I don't know if he's did he
Speaker 1: play it another place aside from Houston before going to Miami,
Speaker 1: But he has a I did not know of this record.
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow had the streak of a rushing and passing
Speaker 1: touchdown for consecutive games. Tebow did it in fourteen games,
Speaker 1: fourteen consecutive games. dearI. King extended his FBS record of
Speaker 1: passing and running for a touchdown in a game to
Speaker 1: sixteen straight, including last night. It's pretty impressive there. This
Speaker 1: kid's been around forever. He was a freshman twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: He was awesome in twenty eighteen for Houston. Yeah, then
Speaker 1: he did a red shirt. Now he's playing again. It's
Speaker 1: like his eighth year in college football. Tebow is the
Speaker 1: first player in NCAA history with at least twenty twenty
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns twenty rushing touchdowns. Okay, your point has been made, Seaton,
Speaker 1: her point has been making, sure. Okay, yeah, let's mix
Speaker 1: it up there. All right, let me get a couple
Speaker 1: of phone calls. We'll take a break. And Vin Scully,
Speaker 1: who we spoke to yesterday. Yeah, we got to be
Speaker 1: on our best behavior because Vin Scully is coming up here.
Speaker 1: Bob and Seattle joins us right now. Good morning, Bob,
Speaker 1: what is on your mind? Good morning fellows. Six foot
Speaker 1: one eighty. So I wanted to comment on last night's game.
Speaker 1: I got to the television, had I'm trying my best
Speaker 1: T shirt on. My wife sitting there, who is a
Speaker 1: huge Mahomes cougar, and she said, hey, what's that guy's
Speaker 1: voice on there? I said, it's Chris Collinsworth and al
Speaker 1: Michaels And she said, doesn't it just feel a little
Speaker 1: bit normal hearing their voices and watching a Thursday night
Speaker 1: football game? And that was like the big takeaway. Our
Speaker 1: kids are sixteen year old kids watched. It was just
Speaker 1: a really good night. It had just brought a little
Speaker 1: bit of normalcy back to our lives. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: it was great. Thank you, Bob. Yeah, you know, here
Speaker 1: and Alan, Chris do the game, and once the game starts,
Speaker 1: it felt like a game. You know, the NFL doesn't
Speaker 1: focus in like the crowd doesn't play a role in
Speaker 1: the visual aspect of an NFL game. You know, when
Speaker 1: you watch an NBA game, the crowd's there, They're right
Speaker 1: there on the floor. They will pan away in a
Speaker 1: football game to show you the crowd, and you know,
Speaker 1: there was some ambient sound in there, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't where I went. But that's cringeworthy or that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good or doesn't look good. The crowd was
Speaker 1: pretty loud last night, and once we got through the
Speaker 1: pregame festivities and we played football. It was a football
Speaker 1: game and I enjoyed it. I think I got what
Speaker 1: I expected going into it, and that is Kansas City
Speaker 1: is not going to take a step back. The question
Speaker 1: is can other teams take a step up or two?
Speaker 1: Because that offense as long as everybody's healthy, and we
Speaker 1: always say it, you know, we preface that in the NFL,
Speaker 1: Hey as long as he stays healthy or they stay healthy.
Speaker 1: So many things happened last year that everybody tends to
Speaker 1: gloss over. We thought Mahomes may have dislocated his knee
Speaker 1: early in the season, we thought he was done for
Speaker 1: the season. Then you go into the postseason and we
Speaker 1: thought they were done not once but twice in the postseason,
Speaker 1: and then they ended up winning. I know that we
Speaker 1: love to look at you know, Hey, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a dynasty. I don't know that it's not a given
Speaker 1: because if I went back to whatever week four when
Speaker 1: he got hurt, and I say, hey, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a dynasty. Hey they're down twenty four to nothing, They're
Speaker 1: gonna be a dynasty. Hey they're down ten in the
Speaker 1: super Bowl with seven minutes to go and San Francisco
Speaker 1: has the ball. Hey, they're going to be a dynasty.
Speaker 1: It's that delicate, that tenuous. What we saw last night
Speaker 1: was wonderful and Clyde Edwards Hilaire wonderful long season. And
Speaker 1: somebody's got to help out Andy Reid get a new
Speaker 1: mask or something because he missed a great game last night.
Speaker 1: Can he get the guy who cleared Was it Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones's son who cleaned Jerry Jones's glasses during a game?
Speaker 1: Didn't he hand his glasses down to his son and
Speaker 1: then he cleaned him. That's what we need for Andy
Speaker 1: Reid because it feels like, yeah, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: he's a big guy. You imagine if he's out there
Speaker 1: in the winter and he's got a coat on and
Speaker 1: he just starts mouth breathing, and and he's just gonna
Speaker 1: his face mask, his shield is gonna be fogged up.
Speaker 1: That was the fog Bowl last night. Yeah, McLeman. You
Speaker 1: know Sean McVay, the Rams coach, has that hold back
Speaker 1: guy who holds the back of his shirt the whole time.
Speaker 1: Get a coach like that, just one over white buff.
Speaker 1: But isn't there something that you put on your windshield
Speaker 1: wipers that prevented from fogging, or something like a defrost
Speaker 1: type of button. Yeah, something like the spray they they make,
Speaker 1: like a spray that helps it beat up better. Yeah, yeah, McLeman.
Speaker 1: I've been having that problem in my car. You guys
Speaker 1: got to tell me about this. It keeps fogging up
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do about it. Ye,
Speaker 1: put the heat on. You gotta match the outside temperature, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: put the heat on real high and then it'll go away.
Speaker 1: We'll go away for a little bit, Vince Kelly Will joins.

Speaker 1: Oh when we need to get some big ratings there,
Speaker 1: big ratings there, all right, more phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: We got a chance to speak to Dodger Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer Vince Scully yesterday after the show. Uh Hunt Auctions
Speaker 1: is honoring um the great Vin Scully. They're going to
Speaker 1: have an auction and it's going to take place coming
Speaker 1: up in September, and you're gonna you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to bid on some items here his World Series ring
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty eight. You're also going to be able
Speaker 1: to bid on the scorebook in his last game that
Speaker 1: he did, another World Series ring here. President Reagan's signed
Speaker 1: baseball to Vin Scully is also in there. And I
Speaker 1: started out the conversation with Vin Scully by asking him
Speaker 1: how his summer was. My summer has been hide and seek.
Speaker 1: The temperatures out here have been unusually high. Were our
Speaker 1: backyard temperature one day was one hundred and seventeen. However,
Speaker 1: my wife and I spend most of our lives now
Speaker 1: at home, so I could just sum up the summer
Speaker 1: in two words. At home, do you miss watching games
Speaker 1: or calling games? You though, I don't miss calling them
Speaker 1: at all. And I must say I kind of demand
Speaker 1: something from the game i'm watching. If it's a very
Speaker 1: slowly played game, if it's just a long game, I
Speaker 1: might just turn it off and go to bed. We
Speaker 1: go to bed reasonably early, so I like to watch
Speaker 1: them for a while. And right now it's for instance, today,
Speaker 1: or this will be on the air tomorrow Friday. But today,
Speaker 1: while we're taping this, we have football coming on tonight.
Speaker 1: We have the Dodgers playing tonight. We have a basketball
Speaker 1: game tonight. So we spend our time, my wife and
Speaker 1: I bouncing from one sport to another. And on the
Speaker 1: weekend we really look forward to watching golf. Have you
Speaker 1: ever called a game without fans? No? Never, maybe reasonably
Speaker 1: small crowds, going back to Brooklyn where you could hear
Speaker 1: the voices of the individual fans. I remember I had
Speaker 1: just started with Red Barber and Connie Desmond, and I
Speaker 1: was really a kid. And there was a famous woman fan.
Speaker 1: Her name was Hilda Chester, and she had a cow
Speaker 1: bell and she worked away all over the ballpark. She
Speaker 1: was extremely colorful, and this particular day, with a very
Speaker 1: small crowd, I heard her heavy voice say, then, Scully,
Speaker 1: I love you, and the crowd whatever that was kind
Speaker 1: of laughed and I lowered my head and she said,
Speaker 1: look at me when I'm talking to you. That's how
Speaker 1: small the crowd was one day in Eppon Field. But
Speaker 1: how important is that crowd for you, especially when you're
Speaker 1: doing a game on radio. Oh, I loved it. I've
Speaker 1: told this story many times. When I grew up, about
Speaker 1: eight years old, we had a big, four legged radio
Speaker 1: and I would crawl underneath it with some saltine crackers
Speaker 1: and a glass of milk, and I would listen to
Speaker 1: a college football game, and let's just say it was
Speaker 1: Alabama Tennessee. I had no idea who was playing or anything,
Speaker 1: but I learned to love the roar of the crowd.
Speaker 1: And if I have a trademark or had, it would
Speaker 1: be called a play as quickly and accurately as I could,
Speaker 1: and then shut up and listen to the crowd. And
Speaker 1: for a few seconds, I was eight years old again,
Speaker 1: and someone during one of the World Series games, somebody
Speaker 1: hit a home run and I called the home run,
Speaker 1: and as networks are wont to do, they showed the
Speaker 1: home run again and I just shut up. And the
Speaker 1: columnists road perhaps been Scully made his greatest contribution by
Speaker 1: saying nothing, and I took that to heart. I didn't
Speaker 1: think of it as criticism. I thought of as yes,
Speaker 1: you're right. The best thing I can do in the
Speaker 1: crowd wars is shut up. There's nothing better but to
Speaker 1: have that self discipline, because it feels like announcers want
Speaker 1: to over call the game, and here you are, having
Speaker 1: almost a seatbelt on to say plays over quiet, let
Speaker 1: the crowd or on beyond settle in, and it almost
Speaker 1: feels like it would draw me closer to the game
Speaker 1: while I'm listening, because I almost lean in more because
Speaker 1: you're not saying anything. Yeah, I think again, it goes
Speaker 1: all the way back to my love of the roar
Speaker 1: of the crowd. Probably a couple of the longest pauses
Speaker 1: while I had an enjoyment of listening to the crowd.
Speaker 1: One would certainly be Kurt Gibson's World Series home run,
Speaker 1: and another one was Henry Iron's record breaking home run.
Speaker 1: I mean, what the heck can you say one ship
Speaker 1: called the home run except sit back and really luxuriate
Speaker 1: listening to this crowd, just be ecstatic. I loved it.
Speaker 1: But you were also on the call for the catch
Speaker 1: with Joe Montana and Dwight Clark. Did you react the
Speaker 1: same way in a football moment as you would in
Speaker 1: a baseball moment? Oh? Sure, I mean, if I remember
Speaker 1: there was less than a minute to go and Montana
Speaker 1: throws to Clark and the catches made and the Niners
Speaker 1: go out in front. There was still some seconds left
Speaker 1: for Dallas to come back. But when Dwight Clark caught that,
Speaker 1: I believe I said, Candlestick is a madhouse, and I
Speaker 1: shut up, and I just loved it. I got goose bumps,
Speaker 1: and that was a great part of the job, shutting up.
Speaker 1: He's Vin Scully, the Hall of Famer, the former Dodger broadcaster,
Speaker 1: and now on Twitter. What took you so long to
Speaker 1: get on Twitter? Vin Well, To be honest, when I
Speaker 1: hung it up back in two thousand and sixteen, I
Speaker 1: figured I had said enough for a lifetime. But after
Speaker 1: a while I realized I didn't really miss doing the game,
Speaker 1: but I kind of missed hearing from the ends a
Speaker 1: little bit. And some friends of mine said, you ought
Speaker 1: to get on social media and maybe you can exchange
Speaker 1: thoughts with people. So after listening to some friends for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, finally went on it. And I
Speaker 1: don't plan to do anything controversial. At no time will
Speaker 1: I give an opinion. I will only try to deal
Speaker 1: in facts and basically baseball facts, nothing else, so it'll
Speaker 1: be very low key and if something is on Twitter
Speaker 1: asking me a question. If I can answer it, I'd
Speaker 1: be more than happy to do it. And basically that's why,
Speaker 1: just for the fun of it, I guess you could say,
Speaker 1: Vin is also auctioning off some of his personal collection
Speaker 1: and this will take place. It's September twenty third live
Speaker 1: Internet auction Hunt Auctions. The Skully collection consists of materials
Speaker 1: related to his sixty seven year broadcasting careers, starting with
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and then the La Dodgers. You're going back to
Speaker 1: the fifties up through twenty sixteen. I think the last
Speaker 1: score book that you had a scorecard is in the auction.
Speaker 1: Give people an idea what is in the auction and
Speaker 1: what made you come to this decision to get rid
Speaker 1: of it. You know when one day I was looking
Speaker 1: at the collection and it's pretty vast and covers a
Speaker 1: lot of subjects, and I thought to myself, you know,
Speaker 1: with the five children, sixteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren,
Speaker 1: it would be better for me, maybe selfishly, to get
Speaker 1: money from the auction and give it to the kids
Speaker 1: who have a lot of little ones to educate, as
Speaker 1: opposed to willing it to them. And then I miss
Speaker 1: seeing their joy I'm gone from here. So first of all,
Speaker 1: I guess it was selfish that I wanted to share
Speaker 1: in whatever the collection would bring in on the action.
Speaker 1: As far as the collection itself, there's the usual things.
Speaker 1: There's bats and balls and autographs. There's a Japanese tea
Speaker 1: coat which is really exceptionally rare. That was back in
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six when the Dodgers went to Japan. There
Speaker 1: are several letters from presidents along with signed presidential pictures
Speaker 1: which are kind of rare. Give you an idea what
Speaker 1: the presidents. I had the pleasure of playing golf with
Speaker 1: number forty one, as they call him, George Herbert walker Bus,
Speaker 1: the late President, and we had played golf together and
Speaker 1: we also played against each other in college. He was
Speaker 1: the first baseman at Yale, and I tried to play
Speaker 1: center field at Fordham and that we played up at
Speaker 1: new Haven. Great game Yale one. It was either two
Speaker 1: to one, three to one. It was a very good
Speaker 1: college game. And so when we were playing golf, I
Speaker 1: said to the president, as the president, as long as
Speaker 1: you're in the White House, you can say anything you
Speaker 1: want about your golf career. And also you're a baseball career.
Speaker 1: But I said, remember when you step out of the
Speaker 1: White House, we both went over three. Well he just howled,
Speaker 1: which is a kind of man he was, and had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun doing that. So after our golf play,
Speaker 1: about three days later, a man showed up in the
Speaker 1: broadcasting booth with a little box and he said, then whatever,
Speaker 1: I said, Yes, sir, he said, a little gift from
Speaker 1: the president. Wow. I said, thank you, and I opened
Speaker 1: it up and there was a little note that said,
Speaker 1: having seen you play, I think you could use a
Speaker 1: few more golf balls, and in it for three presidential
Speaker 1: White House balls. So there are some tongue in cheek
Speaker 1: remarks from presidents, so they add a little something to
Speaker 1: the usual collection. Yeah, I'm looking through you're giving up
Speaker 1: World Series rings. I don't know. I might have to
Speaker 1: open up the wallet here, Vin, I would love to
Speaker 1: have the scorecard from your final game, but I saw
Speaker 1: where the estimate is between ten and fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have any idea. I don't really
Speaker 1: want to know until it's all over. That way, I
Speaker 1: won't be falsely elated and I won't be depressed. I
Speaker 1: will just gratefully take whatever they give me and immediately
Speaker 1: turn it over. We're also contributing some money to UCLA,
Speaker 1: especially for neuromuscular the so called lou Garage's disease, and
Speaker 1: hopefully that'll help. It kind of ties me in with
Speaker 1: a disease and baseball. And so, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that must have felt like when you see all of
Speaker 1: your memorabilia carded away. Was there one item where you said,
Speaker 1: your wife you don't want maybe I should keep that. No,
Speaker 1: I never did that, but I'll tell you the one
Speaker 1: stroke of I don't know memorabilia attack was I was
Speaker 1: watching them load the truck because everything went back to
Speaker 1: Philadelphia for safe keeping. Anyway, they were loading the truck
Speaker 1: and I was watching, calmly, no emotion, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they brought out my golf clubs. And when
Speaker 1: they put those left handed golf clubs in the truck,
Speaker 1: I realized that was a major portion of my life.
Speaker 1: I could hear the door slamming and see the clubs
Speaker 1: go off into the future. I think that was the
Speaker 1: biggest twinge that I had evolved. Did you play Augusta? No,
Speaker 1: I broadcast Augusta. What would happen is the Sunday, the
Speaker 1: ball would roll into the cup, the crew CBS crew
Speaker 1: would have a party and they would play Monday with
Speaker 1: the Sunday pin placements. Meanwhile, I was fighting traffic on
Speaker 1: a Sunday night getting back to the airport to fly
Speaker 1: wherever the Dodgers were to pick up on the play
Speaker 1: for Monday. So I never played Augusta, even though I
Speaker 1: ache to play there, and a couple of times I
Speaker 1: was invited to play, but it just didn't work with
Speaker 1: my schedule. So the answer is a resounding no. But
Speaker 1: I did play Saint Andrews, which was certainly a close second.
Speaker 1: Then I hope you're well, sounds like you're doing well,
Speaker 1: and sorry about your golf clubs, but hopefully you're able
Speaker 1: to raise some money there and also a portion will
Speaker 1: go benefit the neuromuscular research at UCLA. Thanks again for
Speaker 1: joining us, Dan, my pleasure to be with you. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the opportunity and talk to you again one day.
Speaker 1: That's the Dodger Hall of Famer and the live Internet auction.
Speaker 1: September twenty third, that's Hunt Hunt Hunt Auctions sixty seven
Speaker 1: year broadcasting career of in sculling. You know, there's so
Speaker 1: much comfort in voices, and growing up, I was fortunate
Speaker 1: to have great voices there on the radio. And you know,
Speaker 1: for those people in Los Angeles, you had Chick Kern
Speaker 1: and then you had Vin. I mean, man, you were spoiled.
Speaker 1: How lucky is that? And I grew up I had
Speaker 1: Al Michaels was the voice of the Cincinnati Reds for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, and I then had Marty Brennaman
Speaker 1: and Joe Nuxall and you just heard them and it
Speaker 1: was just it was comfort. It was home, no matter
Speaker 1: what was going on with your team. To have that.
Speaker 1: And I always felt bad for those who up in
Speaker 1: a city that maybe they didn't have that voice that
Speaker 1: was there for a good portion of your childhood, because
Speaker 1: that's when the voices really resonate, because you get you
Speaker 1: just grow up with that that that's that's that voice
Speaker 1: you here, and that's like mom and dad and then
Speaker 1: the play by play voice of your favorite team. And
Speaker 1: to have that and to hear that, And for those
Speaker 1: Dodger fans who have reacted and don't thank me, I
Speaker 1: wanted to have Vin on and I'm glad that, you know,
Speaker 1: you got to hear him because it's been a while
Speaker 1: since unless you're on Twitter with Vin. But a lot
Speaker 1: of great memories there, and I love that for all
Speaker 1: of you young broadcasters. There's nothing wrong with being quiet.
Speaker 1: And as Ben said, you know, I had somebody gave
Speaker 1: me a critique. The best contribution Vin Scully had was
Speaker 1: that he didn't say anything. And Vin said, I took
Speaker 1: that as a compliment because Ben always allowed a game
Speaker 1: to breathe and I, you know, we overtalk and over analyze,
Speaker 1: and I think it was always a tip of the
Speaker 1: cap that Vin was saying to you the listener that
Speaker 1: you know a lot about the sport and you're listening
Speaker 1: to or watching that I don't need to tell you everything.
Speaker 1: We're with this together, and I I never take it
Speaker 1: for granted when I have that opportunity to talk to Vin.
Speaker 1: A lot of great memories there. All right, we'll take
Speaker 1: a break, last call for phone calls, close up shop
Speaker 1: on this meet Friday right up to 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 iHeartRadio app, at FSR or
Speaker 1: stream us live on the Peacock app Whenever I think
Speaker 1: in nine to eleven, I always think of my two
Speaker 1: brothers in law who were New York City firefighters, and
Speaker 1: I used to joke with them that, you know, you
Speaker 1: guys just sat around firehouse and you made meals and
Speaker 1: watch movies and occasionally you'd get out on the truck
Speaker 1: it and then all of a sudden, nine to eleven
Speaker 1: happened and that stout, and then going to a couple
Speaker 1: of funerals they were they would bring in firefighters to
Speaker 1: go to funerals. They had to they had to fill up,
Speaker 1: you know, the churches. They wanted people there for some
Speaker 1: of these funerals that happened, and you know there's some
Speaker 1: people that they weren't sure who died. And my member,
Speaker 1: I remember one of my brothers in law said that,
Speaker 1: you know, he had to go down to the pile.
Speaker 1: And that entire day nine to eleven, we couldn't get
Speaker 1: in touch with either one of them. There was no
Speaker 1: cell service. And I think it was around ten o'clock
Speaker 1: at night my wife got a call from one of
Speaker 1: her brothers and he didn't realize that we had been
Speaker 1: calling all day and all night because we just didn't know.
Speaker 1: We didn't know. There were so many firefighters who went
Speaker 1: into the World Trade Center. And that's when you know
Speaker 1: you got heroes. When you go in when everybody's coming out,
Speaker 1: you're a hero. And to go to one of those funerals,
Speaker 1: and you had firefighters all over, certainly all over the
Speaker 1: East Coast who came in for these funerals, and it
Speaker 1: was as somber a moment as I've ever had in
Speaker 1: my life where you have the fire truck, the Dalmatians
Speaker 1: on top, and you have all of these firefighters dressed
Speaker 1: in their blues. Man, oh man, is it powerful? So
Speaker 1: don't lose sight of that. And certainly people who are
Speaker 1: still dealing with this, who went through this, who lost
Speaker 1: loved ones today, did not remember or do not forget them,
Speaker 1: Please remember them. Let me see final results of the
Speaker 1: poll question there, McLevin, what's the game you don't want
Speaker 1: to see? Jets, Bills, Edges out, couldst Wars. Hey, We'll
Speaker 1: take any games though, right, Yeah, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm watching Miami against you AB last night.
Speaker 1: You know, I did a little pit stop there while
Speaker 1: I'm watching Lakers Rockets, and then you had you know,
Speaker 1: Chiefs Texans, Uh Jeff and Detroit My Jeff, Hey, what
Speaker 1: up going? Dan? Happy to meet Friday? Also elective a
Speaker 1: country we needed that last night. That was truly, truly remarkable. Man,
Speaker 1: the NFL hats off. I mean, he gets our mind
Speaker 1: off of other stuff. Once again, to all of the
Speaker 1: first responders. I was one of those on that particular day. Man.
Speaker 1: It was the roughest day that I can honestly remember.
Speaker 1: It really was. We lost a lot of good people,
Speaker 1: and like you said, those are true heroes. My question, though,
Speaker 1: is this, and it goes back to football. How is
Speaker 1: it that you can find one hundred yard Russia just
Speaker 1: out of the draft like that? And in order for
Speaker 1: a Lions fans hee a hundred yard rusher, we got
Speaker 1: to pop in a videotape for bed standers. Dude, come on,
Speaker 1: that's just wrong. And my I got another question for you, brother,
Speaker 1: will be enemy get a job this year? Because I'm
Speaker 1: looking at his twelve and four, twelve and four, ten
Speaker 1: and six, It's like this dude does nothing but win
Speaker 1: his division. He got a super Bowl under his uh
Speaker 1: of this dough Well, I hope, so, I hope so yeah,
Speaker 1: and I hope he gets the right job. Thank you, Jeff,
Speaker 1: because you just don't want to take a job. But
Speaker 1: Eric Bienemy, the offensive coordinator with the Chiefs, probably can't
Speaker 1: be you know, picky here. But you hope it's a
Speaker 1: good job or the potential for a good job. I
Speaker 1: should say, because when you have a job opening, it's
Speaker 1: usual because you know management failed you, or players failed you,
Speaker 1: or the coach failed you. It's a meat Friday football
Speaker 1: season officially kicking off. Even though you might not be
Speaker 1: able to tailgate at the game, you can tailgate in
Speaker 1: your driveway. And what better way to do it? Trigger Wood,
Speaker 1: Pellet Grill. Take your game days to the next level
Speaker 1: by visiting your local trigger dealer or heading to trigger
Speaker 1: girls dot com slash dp show. Oh it's fun today,
Speaker 1: it's good and it's nice to end the week with
Speaker 1: Vin Scully. Some people in LA said, don't forget about
Speaker 1: the voice of dick Enberg, and you're right, you know,
Speaker 1: Chickern dick Enberg, Vin Scully, that's a great luxury to
Speaker 1: have in one city, and just having one of those
Speaker 1: voices is a blessing. Let's go around the room what
Speaker 1: we learned on the program. I'll start back left with
Speaker 1: Todd Fritz Todd in a case of mistaken identity. Burt
Speaker 1: Reynolds wants punched Chris Fowler in the shoulder and hit
Speaker 1: him hard to say, Yeah, I'm curious what that whole
Speaker 1: story was about and what Burt Reynolds thought Chris Fowler
Speaker 1: said about him. And he's at the SP's of all places, Yes, McLean,
Speaker 1: Chris Fowler. Jack Day is New Jack City. Who would
Speaker 1: have thought, Seetan O'Connor, Chris Fowler is jacked Like how
Speaker 1: Fritzie was breathless? You gotta ask him, he's so jos,
Speaker 1: I was really impressed. The arms, the chest, Paully, what
