Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. Final
Speaker 1: hour on this Wednesday, we'll check in with Scott Van
Speaker 1: Pelt from The Mother's Ship. Coming up on the one
Speaker 1: year anniversary of the sports day that changed the world.
Speaker 1: March eleventh, twenty Jazz Center Rudy Gobert tested positive for
Speaker 1: the coronavirus for many, marking the true beginning of the
Speaker 1: pandemic in America. We don't even think twice now about
Speaker 1: canceling games, but back then it was nearly unthinkable. The
Speaker 1: Jazz in Thunder were on the court, they were warming
Speaker 1: up when the news came down, and there was an
Speaker 1: extra layer of controversy because Gobert had made fun of
Speaker 1: people who were concerned about the virus in a press conference,
Speaker 1: and then his teammate Donovan Mitchell also tested positive. Reportedly,
Speaker 1: there was tension between these two in a locker room,
Speaker 1: and no one could have predicted what came next. And
Speaker 1: at first most of us probably thought sports would be
Speaker 1: delayed a couple of weeks, if even that. Everything shut
Speaker 1: down for months, and when everybody came back, everything was different.
Speaker 1: So it's been a long year tremendous losses, but we'll
Speaker 1: never forget what happened a year ago. Now we're here
Speaker 1: in year two and hopefully we're turning the corner, getting
Speaker 1: closer to what is the new normal in sports and
Speaker 1: really everything else in the world. And Scott Van Pelt
Speaker 1: was on the Mothership that night working on Sports Center
Speaker 1: was at Wednesday night, and Scott was kind of trying
Speaker 1: to figure this out live on TV because he was
Speaker 1: looking for information whatever that information was as to what
Speaker 1: was happening and how it was going to impact the
Speaker 1: world of sports. There was a Sacramento Kings game later
Speaker 1: that was around ten thirty I think, and then they're
Speaker 1: warming up and then they realized, no, we're not going
Speaker 1: to be playing. I mean, it started out with the
Speaker 1: Indian Wells Tennis tournament and that was okay, Palm Springs
Speaker 1: Tennis tournament, and okay, they're gonna shut it down. Then
Speaker 1: the IVY League canceled its tournament, and then you know,
Speaker 1: people were critical of the IVY League, going, well, it's premature,
Speaker 1: are you're going to do that now? And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden we realized everybody else was going to
Speaker 1: follow suit. The NCAA tournament that we thought, well, they're
Speaker 1: gonna hold bad there was too much money at stake,
Speaker 1: and then we saw what happened with that as well.
Speaker 1: By the way, the Player's Championship gets underway tomorrow at
Speaker 1: TPC saw Grass. You can get full coverage Thursday through
Speaker 1: Sunday on Golf Channel. A NBC McLevin poll question today, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you were twenty and you had a choice, lose
Speaker 1: your hair, your pinky, which would you go for? Now?
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. People are want to hold all
Speaker 1: ten fingers and are willing to lose their hair fifty
Speaker 1: four or give me, give me ten pinkies, I mean
Speaker 1: ten fingers. It depends on what your head looks like.
Speaker 1: That's what I was arguing with the guys. I feel
Speaker 1: some guys look so good bald that it's a different
Speaker 1: dynamic for them. It's a different equation. Paulie, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about your look? I've had a receding hairline
Speaker 1: for two decades, but it's still technically there. But I'm
Speaker 1: closer to Staatethan the n than the Seaton. As far
Speaker 1: as like my skull, I think I have a decent skull. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem I don't have the Scottie Pippen thing
Speaker 1: going on, you know, I I think it's but you know,
Speaker 1: I cut it really short yesterday. It looks I think
Speaker 1: it looks better short than trying to grow out hair
Speaker 1: when you don't have a lot to work with. And
Speaker 1: Fritzie looks good bold, well you still have on the sides.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you gotta you gotta a nice head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I look like the Padres mascot. It's growing on the
Speaker 1: sides and nothing on the top. It's just not a
Speaker 1: good situation. You gotta keep the sides tight. You can't
Speaker 1: be like, uh, who was the three STOOGESU? Who was that? Larry?
Speaker 1: Larry Moor? Yeah, yeah, Larry, Yeah, Larry had the uh,
Speaker 1: the wild hair and a bozo hair. I've sent denial
Speaker 1: because I've mentioned a few times like this isn't really
Speaker 1: a look of any kind. Should I just kind of
Speaker 1: get rid of it all? And she's trying to convince
Speaker 1: me while you still have a little just keep what
Speaker 1: you have or you're not completely bald. So but did
Speaker 1: you ever think of growing it out on one side
Speaker 1: to then have the comb over like lou Henson did
Speaker 1: The Illinois had that would be a little frightened. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's a good option. A bigger mccra bigger
Speaker 1: and I secretly have always wanted that to be a
Speaker 1: wheel of punishment option that you had to do a
Speaker 1: comb over. You had to even rather you had good
Speaker 1: hair or not, you had to shave this and then
Speaker 1: comb over the rest. What's the longest you've grown your
Speaker 1: hair out, like like the amount of time for me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a month or two. The problem is, though,
Speaker 1: it just what about a year? Never did a year,
Speaker 1: but but it just it gets really bushy on the side.
Speaker 1: It's just a mess, which makes it just you know,
Speaker 1: obviously funny, but it's like just a disaster to let
Speaker 1: the side. It's about content, Todd. I mean, what would
Speaker 1: it take if I said you got to grow your
Speaker 1: hair out, you can't cut it for a year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll have to give that some thought,
Speaker 1: though I'm ready to throwing some cash on that one.
Speaker 1: I will too. It gets really bows of the clowners.
Speaker 1: I'll put about a month, I'll put up right now. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: that was a big topic of conversation. I remember when
Speaker 1: we first got on TV was Todd because your Todd
Speaker 1: grew his hair out longer on the sides, and our
Speaker 1: boss at the time was like, you need to tighten
Speaker 1: that up. Our boss at it. Yeah. Our boss at
Speaker 1: the time was very direct about things. Oh I'm sure
Speaker 1: we all are aware of that. Yeah, he put the
Speaker 1: direct in direct TV. Sure did, he sure did, and
Speaker 1: he was just like that needs to go. Oh okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Fritzie was kind of it was kind of mossy on
Speaker 1: the sides. He never ket it tight. About three years
Speaker 1: ago he whittled it down. M looks better. Yeah, disaster
Speaker 1: me and my cap. Yeah. You own a lot of hats,
Speaker 1: don't you. Um okay. You'll like to get in touch

Speaker 1: on the Dak Prescott deal from the Ravens GM Eric
Speaker 1: de Costa. Because Lamar Jackson's entering the final season of
Speaker 1: his rookie deal, Dak of course signing the four year,
Speaker 1: one sixty extension with the Cowboys. I guess that's a
Speaker 1: glimpse of what the price tag is going to be
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson, who has accomplished more than Dak Prescott has.
Speaker 1: So the GM Eric de Costas says, well, it's like
Speaker 1: when you go to the Bentley dealership or the Range
Speaker 1: Rover dealership. You know what the cars are going to cost.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get a discount. They all cost
Speaker 1: about the same and you go in there and you
Speaker 1: either go in there with the idea that you're going
Speaker 1: to buy the car, or you're not going to buy
Speaker 1: the car. Okay, it feels like a Bentley and a
Speaker 1: range Rover are different in the price category. You know,
Speaker 1: the problem with quarterbacks is there's no mid range price
Speaker 1: tag for your car. I give you just say I
Speaker 1: want a Forerunner here you can it's it's a Bentley,
Speaker 1: a range Rover, Mercedes. It's a brand new car. You
Speaker 1: can't you can't get that. Like a van, a nice van,
Speaker 1: a tricked out van, you can't get that. That's part
Speaker 1: of the problem. Who's the quarterback who is going to
Speaker 1: face that? Lamar Jackson's probably gonna make more than Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is probably going to make more than Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: at least close to it. Then you have Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield might be that quarterback where some financial sanity
Speaker 1: creeps in and they go, you know, we're going to
Speaker 1: extend you, but you're not going to get that, And
Speaker 1: you know it fluctuates. It feels like year to year
Speaker 1: because a year ago, you know, Baker Mayfield's not getting
Speaker 1: that big extension. Now after this past season, you know,
Speaker 1: a little momentum postseason. But still Baker Mayfield should be
Speaker 1: a cautionary tale. I don't want to put even more
Speaker 1: pressure on him. There's already enough pressure. I don't want
Speaker 1: to put even more pressure where I go, hey, you're
Speaker 1: making forty five million dollars a year, Lamar Jackson, you
Speaker 1: want to pay more than Dak Prescott? All Right? I
Speaker 1: guess Josh Allen, all right, but Baker Mayfield. No, No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard there's a little interesting situation with Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: He was a first round pick at the end of
Speaker 1: the first round. They have him under control for at
Speaker 1: least two more years, and then they could tag him
Speaker 1: once or twice so they don't have to do a
Speaker 1: deal with him. My question is if you're the quarterback, like,
Speaker 1: are you going to give them a hard time if
Speaker 1: they don't do a deal, because they can. They can
Speaker 1: sign him to a deal now, but if they wanted
Speaker 1: to hold on to him, they could. They could sort
Speaker 1: of stick it to him and keep him at this
Speaker 1: lower rate. Well, he don't seem to do that anymore. No,
Speaker 1: they seem that they want to sign them except for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys who got who lost. Yeah, it feels like
Speaker 1: there's this rush to sign our quarterback up. And I
Speaker 1: would not be in any hurry, and certainly not with
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I wouldn't be in a hurry to go
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you what Jared Goff and Carson Wentzcott.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: he's gonna cost, but I'm in no hurry. I want
Speaker 1: to see another year from Baker Mayfield, that's all. And
Speaker 1: I would even say to his agent, Look, we're going
Speaker 1: to take care of you. We want to see, though,
Speaker 1: how you do second year in this system with this
Speaker 1: head coach. We want to see progress here because I
Speaker 1: don't want to see a flat line like Josh Allen
Speaker 1: with Buffalo. Now what do you do next? Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: your MVP, Now what do you do next? Those are
Speaker 1: the things that I'm curious about. Jared Goff got to
Speaker 1: the rams of the Super Bowl. Never felt like he
Speaker 1: got them to the super Bowl. It felt like it
Speaker 1: was Sean McVay who got them to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, you didn't win a super Bowl, Nick Foles did.
Speaker 1: I had to see a little bit more out of
Speaker 1: those guys when's coming back from an injury. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: just see more out of him. And Jared Goff, was
Speaker 1: that a one year aberration? Are you a franchise court?
Speaker 1: I just would want to see a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And at that price, that amount of money, I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm asking too much. Yeah. Point, and it's either
Speaker 1: you sign them for the max or you cut them.
Speaker 1: It's like Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota, they got a
Speaker 1: long chance, they got years to play, they got every
Speaker 1: opportunity to prove it, and then those teams had to
Speaker 1: completely move on from them. They couldn't give them. There's
Speaker 1: no mid level for Jamis Winston. There's no mid level.
Speaker 1: The agent won't accept two years twenty million for Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston ends up making a million with those scenes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and but that's okay. It's like Ryan Tannehill, I need
Speaker 1: you to prove yourself. I mean, you're talking about an
Speaker 1: amount of money that could ruin your franchise if you
Speaker 1: don't play well. And we've seen this, you know, the
Speaker 1: potential for hurting your team's chances of winning over the
Speaker 1: next couple of years. It greatly increases when you whiff
Speaker 1: on that contract with these guys. I got to see
Speaker 1: a little bit more and believe it or not, as
Speaker 1: I told you a source of mind said last year,
Speaker 1: not everybody's all in on Lamar Jackson long term, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. And that's somebody inside the league saying this, MVP. Okay,
Speaker 1: but we want to know what you're gonna do when
Speaker 1: the game is on the line. Can you win games?
Speaker 1: Are you improving? What are you going to do in
Speaker 1: the postseason. Dak's gonna face all of this, but he's
Speaker 1: already getting paid. Patrick Mahomes, He's going to have this
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. But he's already won a
Speaker 1: super Bowl, already won an MVP. Dak hasn't done anything. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's a nice, gaudy thirteen and three record that you
Speaker 1: had a couple of years ago. Okay, hey, through for
Speaker 1: five thousand yards. Okay, what do you now? What do
Speaker 1: you have? Yeah, mcclub you know you mentioned Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: I still totally understand why they're paying him thirty million
Speaker 1: dollars a year and handing it off to Derek Henry, Like,
Speaker 1: what is that where the resources need to go? But
Speaker 1: there's no mid level just like you said, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. When you're resigning these quarterbacks, they either
Speaker 1: make two million dollars or they're gonna make, you know,
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. You know, the Packers have a
Speaker 1: decision to make. They didn't place the franchise tag on
Speaker 1: their running back Aaron Jones, but they want to resign him.
Speaker 1: The question is he's gonna want McCaffrey money, or Zeke
Speaker 1: Elliott or Camara Money, Dalvin Cook, Derek Hennery, Joe Mixon.
Speaker 1: They're in the twelve to thirteen million dollars range. Jones
Speaker 1: has been offered more than nine million dollars a year,
Speaker 1: according to Ian Rappaport of the NFL Network. But I
Speaker 1: don't know how many years. But if you're getting Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones at ten million, eleven million dollars a year, yeah, paully.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Tennessee Titans, they probably look at
Speaker 1: Tannell say, his average pay over the course of four
Speaker 1: seasons is twenty six million dollars in this NFL. That's
Speaker 1: not you know, that's not a deal. But they have
Speaker 1: a good quarterback for a good price. And again, can
Speaker 1: he win a title there? Who knows, But they're not
Speaker 1: paying max dollar and they've got a He's definitely a
Speaker 1: good quarterback. It's not a bad quarterback. But how many
Speaker 1: more key teams do you think of their offense and
Speaker 1: you think of somebody other than their quarterback? The Titans,
Speaker 1: anybody else that I mean, the Rams were thereon Donald maybe,
Speaker 1: but not really m I'm well, just offense. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about when you think of the offense that
Speaker 1: you go, uh, you know that receiver or you know,
Speaker 1: Caroline is not a more key team. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: a a you know, playoff contender. Caroline is not. So
Speaker 1: when I think of Carolina, you know they're not going
Speaker 1: anywhere anytime soon, even though they got Christian McCaffrey. You
Speaker 1: got to find your quarterback. But you know, is there
Speaker 1: a team where you go? You know, I think of
Speaker 1: that player, not the quarterback, and it's the Titans, which
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. Yeah, you know, it's funny the cults.
Speaker 1: I think of Quenton Nelson. I know that you honestly
Speaker 1: be you. You've been pushing Quenton Nelson on us for
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, like their quarterback has been in
Speaker 1: flux and they were still playoff team. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're a contender. I think they are this year.
Speaker 1: I do. I think Carson Wentz is going to play well,
Speaker 1: I do. I know I'm in the minority here, but
Speaker 1: because he's a good quarterback of vice is a great
Speaker 1: situation both both. I mean, if you send him to
Speaker 1: I don't know, give me good one of them, like
Speaker 1: the Texans, I'd have no hope for Carson Wentz. The Bears,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a lot of hope there. But you
Speaker 1: know you're reunited with Frank Reich. You have a really
Speaker 1: good offensive line. You got skill position guys, you got
Speaker 1: a good defense. You know you're just asking Carson Wentz too.
Speaker 1: Can you reclaim what you once were? Back in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Scott van Pelt will join us

Speaker 1: good with that. How are you celebrating the one year
Speaker 1: anniversary of the day the sports world the night the
Speaker 1: sports world died. I'm gonna watch games and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show highlights of games. Are you kidding me. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's so surreal Dan to remember, and you you're
Speaker 1: one of the few people who truly, truly, truly could
Speaker 1: appreciate how surreal it is when you go upstairs and
Speaker 1: sit down to prepare to do what in our business
Speaker 1: is called a phil. Right in between the Nuggets and
Speaker 1: the Mavericks and the Pelicans and the Kings. You go
Speaker 1: up to phil and then there's not a fill, there's
Speaker 1: a show because they're not playing everything stop and you're
Speaker 1: just kind of making it up as you go. It was.
Speaker 1: It was astounding, and it's wild to remember it, and
Speaker 1: I really, I truly will just celebrate by being able
Speaker 1: to go in to night and do all these games
Speaker 1: and be thankful that we have sports to watch and
Speaker 1: to discuss. A lot of times we would go to
Speaker 1: Sports Center and you're not dressed to go on the
Speaker 1: air because the show was going to be a couple
Speaker 1: hours later. You might have a suit on, or you
Speaker 1: might have you're not tie your tie, you don't i'm
Speaker 1: makeup on, You're not ready to go on the air,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, when do you get
Speaker 1: the heads up you gotta go on the air as
Speaker 1: soon as possible. Well, thankfully that evening I was doing.
Speaker 1: I was doing the half times, because on Wednesdays typically
Speaker 1: I would be doing the half times of the NBA
Speaker 1: games and then whatever filled er was in the middle,
Speaker 1: and then we'd come on after the last game. So
Speaker 1: for years, Dan, I would just like like I'd be
Speaker 1: I'd dressed for comfort, right, and I'd be wearing whatever
Speaker 1: around the office. But I realized that I just would
Speaker 1: forever be wasting time, and then I would be berman.
Speaker 1: It would be ten fifty nine fifty and I'd be
Speaker 1: sprinting in without a mic on because I wasn't ready
Speaker 1: so about I don't know, not long ago, I just
Speaker 1: decided to hell with it. I'm gonna wear a suit
Speaker 1: when I show up, and particularly on a night like
Speaker 1: that where I was going to be on early anyway,
Speaker 1: So thankfully that part of it was done. I was
Speaker 1: dressed to work. I just didn't know the work I
Speaker 1: was going to be asked to do. What were you
Speaker 1: told in your ears as you're filling and you're out
Speaker 1: there and you're a man on an island, how are
Speaker 1: you getting your information? Well? When when it really like
Speaker 1: with the breaking news part about the season going away
Speaker 1: that that was the NBA announces it, and Low just
Speaker 1: tweeting stuff out and we just went up there and
Speaker 1: went on with him. In this instance, it's Dave Passion,
Speaker 1: Richard Jefferson. They're in Sacramento and we're waiting for the
Speaker 1: Nightcap game, and then there's word that Courtney Kirkland, the official,
Speaker 1: had Red Free the officiated the Utah game, and that
Speaker 1: the Pelicans are like, well, we're not planned and and
Speaker 1: it's like in my in my ear, my producer Marco ALFANDERI, Sam,
Speaker 1: We're hearing that the Pelicans aren't going to play, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, that doesn't sound good. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're processing this in real time. You've been
Speaker 1: in that chair so many times, you know immediately, Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess we're just gonna be on here. Well we
Speaker 1: don't have a rundown because we didn't have a show
Speaker 1: we were on after that game. So in my ear,
Speaker 1: they're saying, Okay, I think Dave and Richard are gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna fill for a minute and then they're gonna
Speaker 1: come to us. And a panic isn't something that sets
Speaker 1: in off, but in that moment, like they're going to
Speaker 1: come to us to do what and then you just
Speaker 1: you've been in that again. There's so few people that
Speaker 1: truly could get what that moment is. You just go
Speaker 1: into Okay, this is true. I think your audience understands, right,
Speaker 1: they're gonna come along with you. They know that this
Speaker 1: isn't the plan. And you go to Woch and then
Speaker 1: you go to Royce Young who's in Oklahoma City where
Speaker 1: the Jazz are still in the in the locker room,
Speaker 1: and you go to Malika who's in the New York
Speaker 1: City and she's talking to players all around the league,
Speaker 1: and you just kind of pingpong back and forth. But
Speaker 1: what was crazy Like when it's if it's you and Keith.
Speaker 1: When Keith's talking, your producer can talk to you. But
Speaker 1: when it's just you, I don't have anywhere to go
Speaker 1: like they I can't kind of lay out and let
Speaker 1: them just say, hold on, America, I need to find
Speaker 1: out what the belief I'm doing here. Give me a second.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of and at one point we threw
Speaker 1: to some sound of Mark Cuban and that was the
Speaker 1: only time in the entire time we were on were
Speaker 1: I actually I don't know what Mark Cubans said he
Speaker 1: could he could have said anything. He could have declared
Speaker 1: war on Chile. I could have said anything. I didn't
Speaker 1: hear a word because at that point I'm listening to
Speaker 1: Mark and he's like, all right, here's what we've got,
Speaker 1: and you're just feverishly scribbling things down. But looking back
Speaker 1: on it, the thing that our producer, because we just
Speaker 1: did a podcast where we kind of pieced this all together,
Speaker 1: and our producer, who did an amazing job that night,
Speaker 1: said the thing he's proud of is that we were
Speaker 1: pretty measured. We didn't. I mean, we kind of kept
Speaker 1: it together and that night I think we as a
Speaker 1: group got praised for not being hysterical and so yea
Speaker 1: for that. But I mean, you just those are cards
Speaker 1: you expect to play, ever, and that's what happened. And
Speaker 1: nobody's a COVID expert. Back then, we're just learning about it,
Speaker 1: Like we don't think anything about a game being canceled now,
Speaker 1: but back then, wait a minute, they're not going to play.
Speaker 1: Wait what's that mean? And then contract tracing, like what's
Speaker 1: what's all of this mean? And then you you have
Speaker 1: to do a cliff notes version of I need to
Speaker 1: know everything about COVID as soon as possible, without question,
Speaker 1: and and and I don't want to. Let's we understand
Speaker 1: how serious this was is and has been, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: no question. But in mid March of twenty twenty, knowing
Speaker 1: as little as we knew, and with testing taking as
Speaker 1: long as it did, like you couldn't go. I mean
Speaker 1: how many time I've gone and gotten rapid tested? If
Speaker 1: you know they tell you five minutes later, yeah your nay.
Speaker 1: Well then we didn't know how long it would take.
Speaker 1: And I think there was this true fear then if
Speaker 1: you got it, well maybe maybe you're in big trouble.
Speaker 1: And you know, you picture like a contagion, right like
Speaker 1: you I imagine the Jazz with hazmat suit people and
Speaker 1: helicopters hovering overhead in the military outside said don't let
Speaker 1: the jass leave. Well that wasn't what it was. But
Speaker 1: we didn't really know, did we, And so it was
Speaker 1: It was definitely a frightening time. It felt inevitable that
Speaker 1: someone in sports would get it. But you know what's fascinating, Dan,
Speaker 1: is that, truly that was the moment that everything pivoted
Speaker 1: in our country, the minute that that that sports stopped
Speaker 1: being played is the minute everyone was like, all right,
Speaker 1: but well we're we're not doing this anymore, and we
Speaker 1: just sort of stopped for a bit. Yeah, that's when
Speaker 1: I think it hit people how serious COVID was. There's
Speaker 1: no sports like. It almost took that for people to understand, Boy,
Speaker 1: this is really important. But you know, when you work
Speaker 1: late at night, you count on those highlights, Yes, you do,
Speaker 1: so you get a little you know, it's a little
Speaker 1: dry when you know, we're a little from that night
Speaker 1: until July, when we finally mercifully took a bit of
Speaker 1: time away, which was our schedule. We're supposed to take
Speaker 1: some time off after the NBA Finals in the beginning
Speaker 1: of free agency. Well, from March eleventh until early July,
Speaker 1: we did Sports Center every night and there were no
Speaker 1: sports and thank god for the Last Dance and the
Speaker 1: Jordan Dock which we could build around. Thank god for
Speaker 1: zoom calls. I mean, I've talked as I know you have.
Speaker 1: I mean I've talked to athletes and their couching, their
Speaker 1: kitchen and their cars. I mean people, you know, it's funny,
Speaker 1: it's it works a lot better these days. He's hey,
Speaker 1: can you come on the show. You know, I can't
Speaker 1: get to a studio. You have a studio in your pocket.
Speaker 1: Just fire up FaceTime, man, you can, you can come
Speaker 1: on with us. We figured it out. But it was look,
Speaker 1: you and I know both well that doing highlights, sitting
Speaker 1: around watching games, it's stealing money, okay, But for that
Speaker 1: four month time, I'd like to think whatever money I stole,
Speaker 1: I paid back. I'm good with the Cosmos. With the Cosmos, man,
Speaker 1: I'm good with the world. Our bill is even because
Speaker 1: those four months were you know, really really challenging. Scott
Speaker 1: Van Pelt from the Mothership joining us on the program,
Speaker 1: who came up with Senior Night, well that was it
Speaker 1: was a collaborative that the night after Thursday, right Wednesday,
Speaker 1: not good Thursday, we find out no tournament. And after
Speaker 1: our show meeting, we sit down as a group in
Speaker 1: this big conference room. You were there when you came
Speaker 1: back that great night, you know, our group, and we
Speaker 1: got a great group, and we see as you do,
Speaker 1: and we sit around, I'm like, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: Because this is gonna suck, all right, but what can
Speaker 1: we do to do something positive? And so I started
Speaker 1: thinking out loud about the idea of just shine a
Speaker 1: line on people that didn't get a chance to have
Speaker 1: to say goodbye. Well, I get home that night and
Speaker 1: there's this note from our group in social that that said,
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this idea, and Jimmy Pittara, our
Speaker 1: boss president of ESPN, independent of all of us, three
Speaker 1: different groups of people, all were thinking along the same lines.
Speaker 1: And so I sent out a tweet and I said,
Speaker 1: here's what we want to do. We want to we
Speaker 1: want to tip our caps to the people who didn't
Speaker 1: get that chance. And there was this one kid in
Speaker 1: Illinois that there was a picture that just really got
Speaker 1: me thinking about it because he was a game away
Speaker 1: from Key and his team are a game away from
Speaker 1: the state finals and they canceled it and he's sitting
Speaker 1: alone in a gym at mid court and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: can you imagine that that I couldn't. And so out
Speaker 1: of a lot of people just sort of kicking around
Speaker 1: an idea, we said, who you know, share with us
Speaker 1: your stories. And it was the most amazing thing. Tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of people from all over the country. They're
Speaker 1: high school girls basketball team and boys and track and
Speaker 1: hockey and baseball and lacrosse and all on and on,
Speaker 1: and we shared as many of those stories as we could.
Speaker 1: And what's really cool, and we're going to do it
Speaker 1: this week, is we're going to revisit that because already
Speaker 1: we're getting we're getting notes from the Jones High school
Speaker 1: girls basketball team in Oklahoma. They made it last year,
Speaker 1: they didn't get to play. They made it again, so
Speaker 1: they get their back and this year we're gonna play.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's really cool, like for the kids
Speaker 1: that moved on, they didn't get it, but for those
Speaker 1: commun unities and the people who maybe had it cut
Speaker 1: short last year, they're going to get to run it
Speaker 1: back this year. So to me, it'll be a fun
Speaker 1: way to revisit that. But it was it was really gratifying.
Speaker 1: It was gratifying because you know, this dan like sports
Speaker 1: centers not the end all be all, and ESPN is
Speaker 1: not the only thing in the world, but it's a
Speaker 1: it's a pretty bright light and it's a pretty loud mic,
Speaker 1: and when you talk into that mic, people hear you
Speaker 1: all around the country. And when those young people felt
Speaker 1: like they were seen and their accomplishments were being recognized,
Speaker 1: it mattered. And to be the person to share that
Speaker 1: really really was gratifying. And we keep talking about this
Speaker 1: new normal. I don't know what the new normal is.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, if you know, just being able
Speaker 1: to go to a game that simple pleasure is not
Speaker 1: so simple. But I don't know what that feeling is
Speaker 1: going to be. Like I haven't been on a plane
Speaker 1: in over a year. Well, I haven't gone anywhere. I
Speaker 1: haven't done anything. You know, I'm still waiting to get
Speaker 1: the vaccine. But there's part of me is just a
Speaker 1: fan that I think Guy took. You know, I was
Speaker 1: numb to it that we get to go to any
Speaker 1: game we want, and we get press pounses, and I
Speaker 1: just want to go to a game and sit and
Speaker 1: have a beer and watch a game with other people.
Speaker 1: I want to hear them. That's what I want. I've
Speaker 1: missed the sound. There's nothing like the sound. And and
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I you know, it's wild as when
Speaker 1: you see an old like watching like a video of
Speaker 1: an old playoff game and say like Yankee Stadium, Like
Speaker 1: old Yankee Stadium, it looks like there are four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people, right, It's just like God, look at all
Speaker 1: those people, and you miss that, You miss being part
Speaker 1: of the organic of what that is and to be
Speaker 1: part of the roar or to hear it and it
Speaker 1: just in the building or at a stadium. So I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I look forward to that, and I'm hopeful, man,
Speaker 1: I you know, I look. I hope you can get
Speaker 1: the shots soon. My mom got her soon. As soon
Speaker 1: as we can get ours, we'll get them. Then it
Speaker 1: feels like things are easing. You know, you don't get
Speaker 1: reckless here, but I do feel like truly a year afterwards.
Speaker 1: Not I never imagined then we'd be a year in,
Speaker 1: you know, having to deal with it. But do you
Speaker 1: share that? Do you share the optimism that that I
Speaker 1: mean sounds really corny, but like the better day is
Speaker 1: almost here. It feels like the home stretch. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know. It's a cautionary tale. And
Speaker 1: every time you it's two steps forward, and then it
Speaker 1: feels like it's two steps back, and now mount maybe
Speaker 1: it's two steps forward, one step back. I want to
Speaker 1: take two steps forward and take two more steps forward
Speaker 1: after that. Like that, That's that's what I want. And
Speaker 1: you know what I don't miss Scott look the gallery
Speaker 1: at a golf tournament. I did not miss hearing some
Speaker 1: idiot yell out getting the whole at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Speaker 1: So one of the few benefits of COS for tatos
Speaker 1: blah blah ai, I did not miss that at all
Speaker 1: and h so that that's the one of the few
Speaker 1: benefits of COVID was I didn't hear the gallery. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what if the trade off is that
Speaker 1: you get to go to a game, you know, you
Speaker 1: just just tune out. Tune out the guy that's twelve
Speaker 1: beers in screaming get in the hole. He's like, hey, buddy,
Speaker 1: it's like a fo that's little ambitious. Well it is Deshambo,
Speaker 1: so you can say, get in the hole. Well play.
Speaker 1: By the way, Otis nailed this interview. Your dog was
Speaker 1: he was, He's he's done as as always, that's his
Speaker 1: resting posture. So he's good. He's you know, I work
Speaker 1: with people at Sports Center A coordinating producers who were
Speaker 1: about as active as Otis was and about a bright wow, wow, wow,
Speaker 1: you have to show up today. I don't you were talking.
Speaker 1: I was talking about your co o. No, no, I
Speaker 1: don't have coordinated I have uncoordinated producers. So a great
Speaker 1: group and it's always good to be with you guys. Dan,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Van PEEZI great to talk to you, a buddy,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Will Scott Van Pelt Sports Center anchor. He'll
Speaker 1: probably win a damn Emmy for that night a year ago.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, yeah, Paul, we were on the
Speaker 1: air that day too. Yeah, the next morning, yeah, and
Speaker 1: the next morning yeah. Yeah. You know, I didn't have
Speaker 1: like the president of the company like ESPN. I don't
Speaker 1: think we had a president of now we didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't know who we had. We just had us. But
Speaker 1: we're here. Although I will say the audience was, you know,
Speaker 1: very gracious in sharing your thanks to this show of
Speaker 1: just us doing this show, but like we needed to
Speaker 1: do this show too. But to get that reaction from
Speaker 1: our audience was truly rewarding. And it was never lost
Speaker 1: on us that people would just call in and say
Speaker 1: thank you, and we are lucky. We were lucky. We
Speaker 1: didn't miss a show. We were able to do it
Speaker 1: and it was beneficial to us as well. We'll take
Speaker 1: a break, we'll come back close up shop after this.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 1: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. My
Speaker 1: prediction of Steph Curry being the MVP starting the season
Speaker 1: getting a little more momentum here, well, a little more
Speaker 1: traction as they like to say. I thought that if
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson was healthy now, I thought they were taking
Speaker 1: LaMelo ball. I thought Steph Curry was going to be
Speaker 1: the front runner for MVP this year. Lebron started out,
Speaker 1: we had Joel Embiid played well, the Jokers played well,
Speaker 1: but Steph Curry has been pretty great and they're in
Speaker 1: the ninth spot though that's the key. It feels like
Speaker 1: they'd have to be in the top four if he
Speaker 1: was going to be MVP, and I can't see Golden
Speaker 1: State getting there. Yeah, pol, but last year they were
Speaker 1: amongst the worst teams in the league with him that
Speaker 1: run without us. So I mean, you look at it there,
Speaker 1: they're a five hundred team with him, and you know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have drants anymore, he doesn't have Clay Thompson anymore.
Speaker 1: I wish they would have taken LaMelo ball. Wiseman's good,
Speaker 1: but LaMelo ball just would have been fun to watch that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it had been great, but it
Speaker 1: had been fun to watch it. Yeah, mclovin, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: would have been like the Harlem Globe, how about it.
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard's an MVP. Yeah, yeah, but I would have
Speaker 1: if Damien and Steph could. I think they might have
Speaker 1: split voted the All Star Game because they both had
Speaker 1: like thirty points and ten three pointers. Well, the Greek
Speaker 1: freaks should not have been the MVP. Yeah, I will
Speaker 1: you agree that Damian and very similar right now? Yes,
Speaker 1: I would have done co No, I said it the
Speaker 1: other day. I can't believe I said it. But game
Speaker 1: is on the line. Damian Lillard's probably the guy that
Speaker 1: I want to take the shot. I mean, it sounds
Speaker 1: crazy to say it because of what I think is
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, but Damian Lillard, it's just something about him.
Speaker 1: He just got that attitude of I'm going to prove
Speaker 1: myself again. Like every night, he feels like every shot
Speaker 1: he has to prove himself. Not that he does, but
Speaker 1: in his mind it feels like that. Mike Florio had
Speaker 1: a great appearance first hour of the show on loan
Speaker 1: from Pro Football Talk, And I said, you know, what
Speaker 1: did he think about the Cowboys and the timing of
Speaker 1: signing Dak Prescott. When you know you have your guy,
Speaker 1: you gotta move quickly to get him signed. And the
Speaker 1: longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. And the
Speaker 1: Cowboys waited and waited and delayed and delayed, and they
Speaker 1: kept thinking that Dak Prescott was going to wake up
Speaker 1: one day and see it their way, take less money,
Speaker 1: except the fact of being the Cowboys quarterback leads to
Speaker 1: all sorts of other earning opportunities and just say, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll accept whatever you want to pay us. And he
Speaker 1: never did, and he finally had them in a spot
Speaker 1: where they had no choice but to give him this contract.
Speaker 1: So it's nothing to be proud of. It's their own fault.
Speaker 1: If they'd have done this in twenty nineteen, they would
Speaker 1: have done it for a hell of a lot less
Speaker 1: than what they're paying now. And that's why AFT when
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was getting credit, because Jerry somehow knew what
Speaker 1: the salary camp was and therefore he was a fawcet
Speaker 1: of money. And I'm going to overspend with Dak Prescott there,
Speaker 1: so Jerry's the only owner who knew about this. And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, that sounds like inside information, that's
Speaker 1: that's a competitive advantage there for Jerry Jones. Jerry didn't
Speaker 1: have any great insight into this. You know, the salary
Speaker 1: captain went down, what seventeen eighteen million dollars something like that.
Speaker 1: But it's not like Jerry goes, I know what it's
Speaker 1: going to be. We're gonna give Dak Prescott every so
Speaker 1: if I'm going to use that rationale that he knew
Speaker 1: something and therefore he signed this deal. So he also
Speaker 1: gave him a no trade and he can't be tagged
Speaker 1: either like he gave him everything that he wanted. It's
Speaker 1: because Dak and his agent played this perfectly, absolutely perfectly,
Speaker 1: and we all wondered the logic there. I even said,
Speaker 1: you know what, if you take that money at the
Speaker 1: time we were talking it was thirty four million, you
Speaker 1: know what, you're gonna make ten to fifteen million dollars
Speaker 1: off the field because you're the Cowboys quarterback. This is
Speaker 1: you want to stay here. But Dak never said that
Speaker 1: he wanted to play elsewhere or he would play elsewhere
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson has he wanted to stay, he wanted
Speaker 1: to play, because you're a cowboy quarterback that stays with
Speaker 1: you your entire life. It opens doors and look at
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Troy Aikman, like you're a quarterback with the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: come on in. Yeah. See the Cowboys are sort of
Speaker 1: in a lose lose situation anyway, regardless of what they did,
Speaker 1: because if in twenty nineteen they had paid him and
Speaker 1: then he breaks his leg in twenty twenty, it's like, see,
Speaker 1: that's why you franchise of But now, looking back hindsight,
Speaker 1: everybody who was like, I don't know, is Dak worth
Speaker 1: all that money? I don't know that they should have
Speaker 1: paid him in twenty nineteen. Looking back now, yeah, you
Speaker 1: could have gotten him cheaper. But it just it feels
Speaker 1: a little bit like revisionist history in a way for
Speaker 1: some people. I knew, no it is. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: our business. Well everybody called it after the fact. Yes
Speaker 1: I knew. I knew, Well, PAULI didn't. PAULI gets a
Speaker 1: pie tomorrow. I got it completely wrong. Yeah, as wrong
Speaker 1: as it could be. I shot up from the mountaintops.
Speaker 1: He's not getting a contract four days before we got
Speaker 1: the biggest contract to history. And then we'll have a
Speaker 1: pie to the face tomorrow at the end of the show. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a funny part about that. Bet. I think I
Speaker 1: had like a two year window where he could have
Speaker 1: gotten a contract. We weren't even betting on this year.
Speaker 1: We were talking about like twenty twenty two. That'll lose
Speaker 1: it a close race, I lose by it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like secretariat at the Belmont. Yeah. But you know,
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson situation, I think is interesting just from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of what happened in that letter to potential
Speaker 1: season ticket holders that you don't put him in there,
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's for legal reasons, even though
Speaker 1: Mike Florio, once a practicing lawyer, said well, you don't
Speaker 1: want somebody to sue you because a false premise that hey,
Speaker 1: you could sign up for season tickets and you could
Speaker 1: see this player and this player and this player and
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Yeah, mcl did the Cowboys leave dak out
Speaker 1: of a video their hype video. Yeah, So maybe it
Speaker 1: was the same reason that Mike Floyo just said, because
Speaker 1: that was weird when he wasn't in their hype video. Yah,
Speaker 1: but nobody's going to sue the Cowboys because Dak wasn't
Speaker 1: in a hype video. Right, But if he wasn't that
Speaker 1: hype video, then a season two and they didn't resign
Speaker 1: him a season ticket order. I don't know. Isn't Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson still under contract? Yes? So why why would there
Speaker 1: be like, well, under the false pretenses that he's going
Speaker 1: to be here next year. Yeah, you're under contract to
Speaker 1: be here next year, dude. But if they trade him, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: things changed now we traded them, but at the time
Speaker 1: that we sent you that email, he was gonna be here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why he's our current quarterback. Russell Wilson. It's gonna
Speaker 1: put that one word, well, you could put that asterisk
Speaker 1: by his name and then you know, right right at
Speaker 1: the bond scheduled to appear expected under center. It's it's
Speaker 1: not like the fire festival, you know where scheduled to appear.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Junior The third uh mcclevin final results of
Speaker 1: the poll question, Okay, would you rather have your hair
Speaker 1: or your pinky? Fifty seven percent? We're what the pinky?
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I can't believe we went with that question.
Speaker 1: Let's see the sports history, Paul. A couple of the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodgers in nineteen forty one announced that their players
Speaker 1: would begin wearing batting helmets with the nineteen forty one season.
Speaker 1: So in the nineteen forty season, they at a meeting
Speaker 1: they said, not this year, We're not going to batting helmets.
Speaker 1: We gotta wait, okay, and then uh. Nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 1: Sherry Davis became the first woman p announcer a Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball team, the PA announcer for the San Francisco Giants. Todd,
Speaker 1: what did I learn? On today's program? Mike Floyo says
Speaker 1: the Seahawks were smart and not mentioning Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: their litter of fans, but nefarious while mentioning other players.
Speaker 1: While other vans stopped short, Mercedes Men's vans go far
Speaker 1: beyond from their customization options, cutting edge tech, five stars,
Speaker 1: sales service, financial support. Mercedes Benz vans build equipped engineer
Speaker 1: to be ready for anything, go the extra mile, taking
Speaker 1: the all important first step into an authorized theaters ship today.
