WEBVTT - 03/10/21 DPS Hour 3 Scott Van Pelt 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.000 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. Final 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.600 hour on this Wednesday, we'll check in with Scott Van 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.280 Pelt from The Mother's Ship. Coming up on the one 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.720 year anniversary of the sports day that changed the world. 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.320 March eleventh, twenty Jazz Center Rudy Gobert tested positive for 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.680 the coronavirus for many, marking the true beginning of the 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.400 pandemic in America. We don't even think twice now about 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.920 canceling games, but back then it was nearly unthinkable. The 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.720 Jazz in Thunder were on the court, they were warming 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.720 up when the news came down, and there was an 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.120 extra layer of controversy because Gobert had made fun of 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.360 people who were concerned about the virus in a press conference, 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:47.160 and then his teammate Donovan Mitchell also tested positive. Reportedly, 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.960 there was tension between these two in a locker room, 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.280 and no one could have predicted what came next. And 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.200 at first most of us probably thought sports would be 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.920 delayed a couple of weeks, if even that. Everything shut 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.040 down for months, and when everybody came back, everything was different. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.199 So it's been a long year tremendous losses, but we'll 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.640 never forget what happened a year ago. Now we're here 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.240 in year two and hopefully we're turning the corner, getting 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.240 closer to what is the new normal in sports and 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.360 really everything else in the world. And Scott Van Pelt 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.760 was on the Mothership that night working on Sports Center 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.600 was at Wednesday night, and Scott was kind of trying 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.800 to figure this out live on TV because he was 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.160 looking for information whatever that information was as to what 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.200 was happening and how it was going to impact the 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.199 world of sports. There was a Sacramento Kings game later 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.280 that was around ten thirty I think, and then they're 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.120 warming up and then they realized, no, we're not going 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.360 to be playing. I mean, it started out with the 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:59.480 Indian Wells Tennis tournament and that was okay, Palm Springs 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.720 Tennis tournament, and okay, they're gonna shut it down. Then 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.720 the IVY League canceled its tournament, and then you know, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.639 people were critical of the IVY League, going, well, it's premature, 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.640 are you're going to do that now? And then all 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.519 of a sudden we realized everybody else was going to 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.799 follow suit. The NCAA tournament that we thought, well, they're 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.040 gonna hold bad there was too much money at stake, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.000 and then we saw what happened with that as well. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.760 By the way, the Player's Championship gets underway tomorrow at 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.880 TPC saw Grass. You can get full coverage Thursday through 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.040 Sunday on Golf Channel. A NBC McLevin poll question today, Okay, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.160 if you were twenty and you had a choice, lose 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.720 your hair, your pinky, which would you go for? Now? 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.519 I can't believe it. People are want to hold all 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.640 ten fingers and are willing to lose their hair fifty 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.280 four or give me, give me ten pinkies, I mean 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.720 ten fingers. It depends on what your head looks like. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.880 That's what I was arguing with the guys. I feel 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.959 some guys look so good bald that it's a different 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.040 dynamic for them. It's a different equation. Paulie, how do 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.440 you feel about your look? I've had a receding hairline 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.079 for two decades, but it's still technically there. But I'm 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.880 closer to Staatethan the n than the Seaton. As far 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.040 as like my skull, I think I have a decent skull. Yeah, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.960 it doesn't seem I don't have the Scottie Pippen thing 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.720 going on, you know, I I think it's but you know, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.400 I cut it really short yesterday. It looks I think 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.400 it looks better short than trying to grow out hair 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.440 when you don't have a lot to work with. And 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.600 Fritzie looks good bold, well you still have on the sides. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.000 But yeah, you gotta you gotta a nice head. Yeah, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.120 I look like the Padres mascot. It's growing on the 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.360 sides and nothing on the top. It's just not a 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.560 good situation. You gotta keep the sides tight. You can't 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:52.200 be like, uh, who was the three STOOGESU? Who was that? Larry? 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.800 Larry Moor? Yeah, yeah, Larry, Yeah, Larry had the uh, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.560 the wild hair and a bozo hair. I've sent denial 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.680 because I've mentioned a few times like this isn't really 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.840 a look of any kind. Should I just kind of 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.800 get rid of it all? And she's trying to convince 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.960 me while you still have a little just keep what 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.119 you have or you're not completely bald. So but did 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.520 you ever think of growing it out on one side 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.720 to then have the comb over like lou Henson did 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.400 The Illinois had that would be a little frightened. I 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:26.560 don't think that's a good option. A bigger mccra bigger 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.680 and I secretly have always wanted that to be a 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.360 wheel of punishment option that you had to do a 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.560 comb over. You had to even rather you had good 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.400 hair or not, you had to shave this and then 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:40.240 comb over the rest. What's the longest you've grown your 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:45.680 hair out, like like the amount of time for me? Yeah, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.920 I don't know, like a month or two. The problem is, though, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.680 it just what about a year? Never did a year, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.440 but but it just it gets really bushy on the side. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.960 It's just a mess, which makes it just you know, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.480 obviously funny, but it's like just a disaster to let 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.080 the side. It's about content, Todd. I mean, what would 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.680 it take if I said you got to grow your 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.359 hair out, you can't cut it for a year. Yeah, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.080 I don't know. I'll have to give that some thought, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:16.680 though I'm ready to throwing some cash on that one. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.360 I will too. It gets really bows of the clowners. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.400 I'll put about a month, I'll put up right now. Yeah. See, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.800 that was a big topic of conversation. I remember when 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.400 we first got on TV was Todd because your Todd 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.920 grew his hair out longer on the sides, and our 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.679 boss at the time was like, you need to tighten 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.200 that up. Our boss at it. Yeah. Our boss at 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.760 the time was very direct about things. Oh I'm sure 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.520 we all are aware of that. Yeah, he put the 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.840 direct in direct TV. Sure did, he sure did, and 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.599 he was just like that needs to go. Oh okay, Yeah, 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.159 Fritzie was kind of it was kind of mossy on 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.400 the sides. He never ket it tight. About three years 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:58.760 ago he whittled it down. M looks better. Yeah, disaster 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.719 me and my cap. Yeah. You own a lot of hats, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.080 don't you. Um okay.

Some interesting comments 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.920 on the Dak Prescott deal from the Ravens GM Eric 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.520 de Costa. Because Lamar Jackson's entering the final season of 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.640 his rookie deal, Dak of course signing the four year, 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.039 one sixty extension with the Cowboys. I guess that's a 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.880 glimpse of what the price tag is going to be 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:04.720 for Lamar Jackson, who has accomplished more than Dak Prescott has. 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.360 So the GM Eric de Costas says, well, it's like 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.080 when you go to the Bentley dealership or the Range 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.480 Rover dealership. You know what the cars are going to cost. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.080 You're not going to get a discount. They all cost 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.600 about the same and you go in there and you 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.120 either go in there with the idea that you're going 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.040 to buy the car, or you're not going to buy 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:29.120 the car. Okay, it feels like a Bentley and a 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:37.360 range Rover are different in the price category. You know, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.840 the problem with quarterbacks is there's no mid range price 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.800 tag for your car. I give you just say I 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.920 want a Forerunner here you can it's it's a Bentley, 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.000 a range Rover, Mercedes. It's a brand new car. You 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.680 can't you can't get that. Like a van, a nice van, 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.840 a tricked out van, you can't get that. That's part 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.480 of the problem. Who's the quarterback who is going to 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.320 face that? Lamar Jackson's probably gonna make more than Dak Prescott. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.560 Josh Allen is probably going to make more than Dak Prescott, 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.200 at least close to it. Then you have Baker Mayfield. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:23.040 Baker Mayfield might be that quarterback where some financial sanity 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.600 creeps in and they go, you know, we're going to 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.120 extend you, but you're not going to get that, And 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.520 you know it fluctuates. It feels like year to year 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.080 because a year ago, you know, Baker Mayfield's not getting 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:40.400 that big extension. Now after this past season, you know, 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:46.840 a little momentum postseason. But still Baker Mayfield should be 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.200 a cautionary tale. I don't want to put even more 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.800 pressure on him. There's already enough pressure. I don't want 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.480 to put even more pressure where I go, hey, you're 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.319 making forty five million dollars a year, Lamar Jackson, you 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.840 want to pay more than Dak Prescott? All Right? I 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:12.240 guess Josh Allen, all right, but Baker Mayfield. No, No, Yeah, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.800 I heard there's a little interesting situation with Lamar Jackson. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.319 He was a first round pick at the end of 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.840 the first round. They have him under control for at 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.040 least two more years, and then they could tag him 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.200 once or twice so they don't have to do a 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.679 deal with him. My question is if you're the quarterback, like, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.079 are you going to give them a hard time if 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.080 they don't do a deal, because they can. They can 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.720 sign him to a deal now, but if they wanted 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.440 to hold on to him, they could. They could sort 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.199 of stick it to him and keep him at this 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:46.920 lower rate. Well, he don't seem to do that anymore. No, 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.000 they seem that they want to sign them except for 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.720 the Cowboys who got who lost. Yeah, it feels like 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.000 there's this rush to sign our quarterback up. And I 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.560 would not be in any hurry, and certainly not with 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.160 Baker Mayfield. I wouldn't be in a hurry to go 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.400 We're gonna give you what Jared Goff and Carson Wentzcott. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.280 I don't want to do that. I don't know what 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.079 he's gonna cost, but I'm in no hurry. I want 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.560 to see another year from Baker Mayfield, that's all. And 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.080 I would even say to his agent, Look, we're going 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.000 to take care of you. We want to see, though, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.160 how you do second year in this system with this 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.400 head coach. We want to see progress here because I 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.720 don't want to see a flat line like Josh Allen 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.640 with Buffalo. Now what do you do next? Lamar Jackson 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.280 your MVP, Now what do you do next? Those are 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.240 the things that I'm curious about. Jared Goff got to 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.760 the rams of the Super Bowl. Never felt like he 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.240 got them to the super Bowl. It felt like it 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.120 was Sean McVay who got them to the super Bowl. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.160 Carson Wentz, you didn't win a super Bowl, Nick Foles did. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.640 I had to see a little bit more out of 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.680 those guys when's coming back from an injury. Absolutely, I 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.280 just see more out of him. And Jared Goff, was 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.720 that a one year aberration? Are you a franchise court? 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.520 I just would want to see a little bit more. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.480 And at that price, that amount of money, I don't 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.160 think I'm asking too much. Yeah. Point, and it's either 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.280 you sign them for the max or you cut them. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.920 It's like Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota, they got a 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.160 long chance, they got years to play, they got every 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.319 opportunity to prove it, and then those teams had to 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.400 completely move on from them. They couldn't give them. There's 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.200 no mid level for Jamis Winston. There's no mid level. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.280 The agent won't accept two years twenty million for Jameis 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.040 Winston ends up making a million with those scenes. Yeah, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.000 and but that's okay. It's like Ryan Tannehill, I need 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520 you to prove yourself. I mean, you're talking about an 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:51.000 amount of money that could ruin your franchise if you 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.720 don't play well. And we've seen this, you know, the 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.679 potential for hurting your team's chances of winning over the 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.360 next couple of years. It greatly increases when you whiff 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.679 on that contract with these guys. I got to see 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.640 a little bit more and believe it or not, as 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.840 I told you a source of mind said last year, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.880 not everybody's all in on Lamar Jackson long term, believe 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:20.320 it or not. And that's somebody inside the league saying this, MVP. Okay, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.600 but we want to know what you're gonna do when 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.600 the game is on the line. Can you win games? 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.560 Are you improving? What are you going to do in 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.240 the postseason. Dak's gonna face all of this, but he's 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.160 already getting paid. Patrick Mahomes, He's going to have this 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.840 the rest of his career. But he's already won a 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.480 super Bowl, already won an MVP. Dak hasn't done anything. Hey, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.840 it's a nice, gaudy thirteen and three record that you 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.160 had a couple of years ago. Okay, hey, through for 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.600 five thousand yards. Okay, what do you now? What do 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:57.280 you have? Yeah, mcclub you know you mentioned Ryan Tannehill. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.959 I still totally understand why they're paying him thirty million 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.160 dollars a year and handing it off to Derek Henry, Like, 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.960 what is that where the resources need to go? But 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.400 there's no mid level just like you said, no, it's 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.680 it's just crazy. When you're resigning these quarterbacks, they either 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.440 make two million dollars or they're gonna make, you know, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.120 thirty five million dollars. You know, the Packers have a 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.160 decision to make. They didn't place the franchise tag on 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.959 their running back Aaron Jones, but they want to resign him. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.840 The question is he's gonna want McCaffrey money, or Zeke 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:34.480 Elliott or Camara Money, Dalvin Cook, Derek Hennery, Joe Mixon. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.200 They're in the twelve to thirteen million dollars range. Jones 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.000 has been offered more than nine million dollars a year, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.920 according to Ian Rappaport of the NFL Network. But I 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.319 don't know how many years. But if you're getting Aaron 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.199 Jones at ten million, eleven million dollars a year, yeah, paully. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.200 But if you're the Tennessee Titans, they probably look at 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.960 Tannell say, his average pay over the course of four 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.280 seasons is twenty six million dollars in this NFL. That's 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.480 not you know, that's not a deal. But they have 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.079 a good quarterback for a good price. And again, can 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.880 he win a title there? Who knows, But they're not 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.920 paying max dollar and they've got a He's definitely a 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.880 good quarterback. It's not a bad quarterback. But how many 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.400 more key teams do you think of their offense and 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.680 you think of somebody other than their quarterback? The Titans, 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.080 anybody else that I mean, the Rams were thereon Donald maybe, 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:35.320 but not really m I'm well, just offense. I mean, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.520 I'm talking about when you think of the offense that 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.400 you go, uh, you know that receiver or you know, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.960 Caroline is not a more key team. I'm talking about 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:50.920 a a you know, playoff contender. Caroline is not. So 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.640 when I think of Carolina, you know they're not going 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.640 anywhere anytime soon, even though they got Christian McCaffrey. You 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.560 got to find your quarterback. But you know, is there 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.280 a team where you go? You know, I think of 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.800 that player, not the quarterback, and it's the Titans, which 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.720 is pretty amazing. Yeah, you know, it's funny the cults. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.960 I think of Quenton Nelson. I know that you honestly 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.080 be you. You've been pushing Quenton Nelson on us for 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.720 a long time. Yeah, like their quarterback has been in 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.360 flux and they were still playoff team. But I don't 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.680 know if they're a contender. I think they are this year. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.360 I do. I think Carson Wentz is going to play well, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.800 I do. I know I'm in the minority here, but 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.800 because he's a good quarterback of vice is a great 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.880 situation both both. I mean, if you send him to 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.840 I don't know, give me good one of them, like 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:46.440 the Texans, I'd have no hope for Carson Wentz. The Bears, 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.480 I wouldn't have a lot of hope there. But you 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.160 know you're reunited with Frank Reich. You have a really 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.240 good offensive line. You got skill position guys, you got 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.360 a good defense. You know you're just asking Carson Wentz too. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.000 Can you reclaim what you once were? Back in twenty seventeen, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.720 we'll take a break. Scott van Pelt will join us 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.320 on Loan from the Mother's Ship. It's seventeen after the 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:15.520 hour here on the Dan Patrick Show.

He lets me sit here mostly if he 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.040 if he gets upset, he'll let me know. But yeah, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.600 this is just a little sunny, little sunny little wing 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.680 of the home. Yes, man, it looks like a study, 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.800 is what that would be. Does the dog do you think? 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.159 I Study's not like a man who studies. No? No, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.320 uh does your dog do any tricks? Scott? Now, he 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.280 just sits there, He louses in the sun.

Man, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.920 He's just gonna hang out and that's what we We're 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.600 good with that. How are you celebrating the one year 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.439 anniversary of the day the sports world the night the 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.440 sports world died. I'm gonna watch games and I'm gonna 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.360 show highlights of games. Are you kidding me. I mean, 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:02.680 it's it's so surreal Dan to remember, and you you're 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.320 one of the few people who truly, truly, truly could 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.159 appreciate how surreal it is when you go upstairs and 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.160 sit down to prepare to do what in our business 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.040 is called a phil. Right in between the Nuggets and 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.560 the Mavericks and the Pelicans and the Kings. You go 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.520 up to phil and then there's not a fill, there's 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.880 a show because they're not playing everything stop and you're 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040 just kind of making it up as you go. It was. 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.040 It was astounding, and it's wild to remember it, and 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.760 I really, I truly will just celebrate by being able 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.000 to go in to night and do all these games 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.639 and be thankful that we have sports to watch and 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.240 to discuss. A lot of times we would go to 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.560 Sports Center and you're not dressed to go on the 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.840 air because the show was going to be a couple 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.280 hours later. You might have a suit on, or you 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.960 might have you're not tie your tie, you don't i'm 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.960 makeup on, You're not ready to go on the air, 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.600 and then all of a sudden, when do you get 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.760 the heads up you gotta go on the air as 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:05.080 soon as possible. Well, thankfully that evening I was doing. 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.040 I was doing the half times, because on Wednesdays typically 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.440 I would be doing the half times of the NBA 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.280 games and then whatever filled er was in the middle, 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.919 and then we'd come on after the last game. So 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:22.040 for years, Dan, I would just like like I'd be 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.840 I'd dressed for comfort, right, and I'd be wearing whatever 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.560 around the office. But I realized that I just would 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.720 forever be wasting time, and then I would be berman. 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.239 It would be ten fifty nine fifty and I'd be 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.879 sprinting in without a mic on because I wasn't ready 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.679 so about I don't know, not long ago, I just 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:41.280 decided to hell with it. I'm gonna wear a suit 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.639 when I show up, and particularly on a night like 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.719 that where I was going to be on early anyway, 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.680 So thankfully that part of it was done. I was 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.840 dressed to work. I just didn't know the work I 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.040 was going to be asked to do. What were you 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.480 told in your ears as you're filling and you're out 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.760 there and you're a man on an island, how are 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:03.119 you getting your information? Well? When when it really like 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.200
