Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2: On this Tuesday. Clark Kellogg from CBS will join us.
Speaker 2: We'll talk some March madness. Reggie Miller. He'll join us
Speaker 2: in the final hour of the program. Can wemby steal
Speaker 2: the MVP eight seven seven three DP show email address
Speaker 2: Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle the DP Show. Good morning
Speaker 2: if you are allowing us into your homes watching on
Speaker 2: Peacock or NBC Sports Network. We say good morning to
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates around the country. Four hundred cities carry
Speaker 2: this award nominated program Opening day Major League Baseball quietly
Speaker 2: tomorrow It'll be the Giants against the Yankees on Netflix.
Speaker 2: All right? Pull question Seaton eight seven to seven three
Speaker 2: DP Show operator Tyler sitting by results from the first hour,
Speaker 2: and what are we going to go with hour two?
Speaker 3: Whose career would you want? Past, present, future? Otani, Wimbinyama
Speaker 3: or other. Otani has seventy three percent of that vote,
Speaker 3: followed by fifty percent from one ban Yama and twelve
Speaker 3: percent from another other. That's interesting to me. Why are
Speaker 3: people not appreciate Is it too early for victor or?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably so? I think once you win something, you
Speaker 2: know where we waited for Giannis to win. We waited
Speaker 2: for Embiid he won an MVP. We waited for Joker.
Speaker 2: But Otani is here, he's now, and you know we
Speaker 2: waited to see could he do it? And he was
Speaker 2: able to do it high end pitching and hitting. Yes,
Speaker 2: I think I'm seeing the problem with this poll question.
Speaker 2: Actually it's a little bit in the wording, because now
Speaker 2: that I'm going down through the comments where all the
Speaker 2: others are, it's like, ever heard of Bill Russell? Ever
Speaker 2: heard of Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's not the group that we're talking about. Okay, should
Speaker 2: have been freezed. I should have changed the free today's athlete, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul, I was wondering when I wrote this, is
Speaker 4: there another Is there another global athlete that's young or
Speaker 4: in his prime that's global, which would remove the NFL M.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if soccer, Messi and
Speaker 4: Rinaldo were at the back half. I don't know if
Speaker 4: soccer has the global athlete. The one singular global.
Speaker 3: Athlete, like the dude right now is Lamina mal he's
Speaker 3: probably like he's I think he's like eighteen nineteen something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: He's a big deal. He's a really big deal. Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 2: Tani is global. That helps. But then when Benyama is
Speaker 2: from France, global sport with the NBA as well, Yes, don.
Speaker 5: Depending on where you ranked tennis in the Lexicon of Sports,
Speaker 5: Carlos Alkaraz had a pretty good resume for twenty two
Speaker 5: years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you look at the numbers that he
Speaker 2: has to get, when you know Novak Djokovic, I mean,
Speaker 2: those numbers are to even think, you know, somebody's going
Speaker 2: to eclipse those numbers. I remember when Pete Sampras won
Speaker 2: it Wembledon, and I think, what was that his fourteenth
Speaker 2: or fifteenth or sixteen, And I'm like, is anybody going
Speaker 2: to come close to that? So he's got fourteen Grand
Speaker 2: Slam titles, and then all of a sudden you had Federer,
Speaker 2: you hadn't a doll and then you had Novak Djokovic
Speaker 2: in the same era competing against each other wild and
Speaker 2: for him to be to stand alone having to compete
Speaker 2: with those guys, whether it was on clay or it
Speaker 2: was at US Open or wembled in Australian Open and
Speaker 2: to have that many Grand Slams. You know, when you
Speaker 2: forget how many Grand Slams, how many titles somebody has,
Speaker 2: that's when you know you've had a pretty special career.
Speaker 2: And you're like, I don't how many. I don't know
Speaker 2: how many is he got? How many does Djokovic have?
Speaker 2: Sam twenty three, twenty four, twenty four. It's easy to
Speaker 2: lose track of that.
Speaker 4: Since we started the show.
Speaker 2: He won another one. All right, we'll get another poll
Speaker 2: question here for hour and two. The last hour we
Speaker 2: at the end of it, we talked about dan Orlovsky
Speaker 2: of the Mothership. He really likes himself some Ty Simpson,
Speaker 2: and he had this to say on Get Up. I
Speaker 2: think ty Simpson is QB one.
Speaker 6: I think ty Simpson is the best quarterback in this class.
Speaker 6: I think when you look at the body of work
Speaker 6: and what was asked of these two quarterbacks, you have
Speaker 6: to start with the question who needed to do more
Speaker 6: to carry their football team to play well? Ty Simpson
Speaker 6: and it's not close between those two quarterbacks. And if
Speaker 6: we're asking, like okay, we're trying to see what you
Speaker 6: are as a player in college and what you're gonna
Speaker 6: be asked to do in the NFL, and what translates.
Speaker 6: I start with what do you do in moments of
Speaker 6: panic with the football? Because that's really what separates good degree.
Speaker 6: I would tell you that ty Simpson and is more
Speaker 6: consistent in that regard. What guy was asked to do
Speaker 6: more NFL throws fifteen twenty twenty five yard en routes
Speaker 6: deep corner or sale routes ty Simpson And it's not
Speaker 6: even close in that regard.
Speaker 2: I believe that he truly believes now conspiracy theorist, and
Speaker 2: you know they're represented by this same firm CIA. CIA
Speaker 2: represents a whole lot of people in the sports world.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Orlovsky's doing somebody a solid here.
Speaker 2: ESPN does have the draft and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're now pushing this out now. I don't know if
Speaker 2: anybody's going to react. I don't know if a team
Speaker 2: goes wait, wait a minute, man, we didn't have a
Speaker 2: first round grade in Orlovsky. Now that would be where
Speaker 2: if I'm a GM, I would have enough respect for
Speaker 2: Orlovsky that I would reach out to him and I
Speaker 2: would say, Hey, tell me what you're seeing, Tell me
Speaker 2: what I might be missing here because Orlovsky did play
Speaker 2: the position. He's very educated in analyzing the those who
Speaker 2: are playing the position. And just because he says he's
Speaker 2: better than Fernando Mendoza doesn't mean he's going to be
Speaker 2: a great quarterback. Like, keep that in mind. The situation
Speaker 2: you're going to go into, and I don't know how
Speaker 2: good Fernando Mendoza is going to be. Do I think
Speaker 2: he's a great face for your franchise. If you're the Raiders,
Speaker 2: you have stability there. Yes, But he's not Andrew Luck,
Speaker 2: he's not Peyton Manning. So I think just because you're
Speaker 2: the number one pick in the draft you won the Heisman,
Speaker 2: that's happened before, and it doesn't mean that doesn't equate
Speaker 2: to success. He has the measurables. Orlofsky is saying ty
Speaker 2: Simpson had to overcome more. Now MY big concern is,
Speaker 2: what did they have sixteen starts in college? I don't
Speaker 2: want a quarterback who had sixteen starts. History's on my side.
Speaker 2: I got to have at least thirty five starts. Now
Speaker 2: that's where I look at bow Knicks didn't go well
Speaker 2: at Auburn. He goes to Oregon He's a quarterback in
Speaker 2: two very competitive conferences, and he plays at a very
Speaker 2: high level when he gets to Oregon and prove that
Speaker 2: was no fluke by what he's done with Denver. But
Speaker 2: I need a sample size. I always go back to
Speaker 2: Trey lance Man. That's an incredible year. Okay, it was
Speaker 2: one year. I want to see what you can do
Speaker 2: for at least two years, if not three bow Knicks
Speaker 2: played five years. Jaden Daniels five years in college. That's
Speaker 2: what I want to see. But I truly believe Orlavsky
Speaker 2: believes that Ty Simpson is a better quarterback than Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 2: Now a lot goes into that if Fernando Mendoza, well,
Speaker 2: the Raiders will protect him, They'll beef up the offensive line.
Speaker 2: And I'm you know, I'm grateful, thankful, because I don't
Speaker 2: want to see another situation where you go that guy's
Speaker 2: going to lose his confidence. They're going to be a mess.
Speaker 2: He's going to get sacks sixty five times. He'll be
Speaker 2: another David Carr. I've been down this road before, and
Speaker 2: I hope he gets that opportunity. Also with ty Simpson.
Speaker 2: What if he goes to the Jets, what if he
Speaker 2: goes to the Cardinals, he's not in a better position
Speaker 2: than Fernando Mendoza other than he won't be asked to
Speaker 2: start right away. But what if he goes to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Now he's in a better situation than Fernando Mendoza. And
Speaker 2: a lot of times it comes down to where you
Speaker 2: go when did you get drafted. I always go back
Speaker 2: to what Tom Brady told me years ago. If he
Speaker 2: was a first round pick, he never would have lasted
Speaker 2: in the league because he wasn't ready. Instead, he got
Speaker 2: his chance and he made the most of it. Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes going to Kansas City. If he ended up going
Speaker 2: to Carolina or Cleveland or the Bears, he's not Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: These things work out, but they work out because of
Speaker 2: the surrounding cast. And ty Simpson might be the best quarterback,
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean he's going to be great or
Speaker 2: even good. And I even said this about Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 2: If I said right now, he'll have the career of
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, you're going to sign up for that. Now
Speaker 2: you may not want to, I would tell you to
Speaker 2: sign up for that. Or if I said he's going
Speaker 2: to have the career of Kirk Cousins. Are you going
Speaker 2: to sign up for that? The answer is no. But
Speaker 2: if you look, I want sustainability. I want somebody who
Speaker 2: has put up good numbers. That's what you want. You
Speaker 2: want somebody who's going to be there every year. He's
Speaker 2: going to be your franchise. He's going to put up numbers.
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco had a very good career. Yeah, Mark, if.
Speaker 7: People don't forget how close the Ravens were to a
Speaker 7: couple other Super Bowls, so they were really competitive with
Speaker 7: Joe Flacco. Besides winning that one super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Mel Kiper will join us on the program tomorrow. Yes,
Speaker 2: paul I went back.
Speaker 4: And looked in twenty twenty four, about a month before
Speaker 4: the draft, around now Orlofsky had his quarterbacks. He said,
Speaker 4: Jade Daniels, no doubt, number one pick. He said, then
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams, Drake May But he said he had no
Speaker 4: doubts about Jade Daniels, and people dinged them for that,
Speaker 4: They said, well, how can you put him that far ahead.
Speaker 4: There was a time when that take was completely right.
Speaker 4: At the end of Jade and daniels first year, everybody
Speaker 4: thought Jane Daniels was the guy, and injuries have slowed
Speaker 4: that take down, and it fluctuates year to year. But
Speaker 4: the Jayden and Daniels take was hot at the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we still believe that he can be
Speaker 2: an elite quarterback. But I don't know. Hey, I still
Speaker 2: liked Caleb Williams, but you know, I like even more
Speaker 2: now because of his coach and the weapons he's got.
Speaker 2: And then Drake may goes to the super Bowl without
Speaker 2: really a supporting cast. But you know, it's year to year.
Speaker 2: I mean, they got a long way to go before
Speaker 2: it's done. But if Orlovsky likes ty Simpson and uh,
Speaker 2: you want to criticize that because they're represented by the
Speaker 2: same you know, firm mothership carries the draft, hype it
Speaker 2: up a little bit, Okay, But I truly believe that
Speaker 2: Orlovsky believes Ty Simpson is the number one quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah see, I'm not saying that Dan doesn't believe that
Speaker 3: Dan Orlovsky, but it does happen in this business where uh, oh,
Speaker 3: that guy, my age, my best friend is this agent,
Speaker 3: and that guy's one of my that agent's players, my
Speaker 3: best friends players.
Speaker 2: So I talked nicer about them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that absolutely happens. Maybe not so much the number
Speaker 3: one overall pick of the draft that's usually, but definitely
Speaker 3: in all of the other ones. My best friends is
Speaker 3: that guy's agent, so I talk nice about him.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah. When you're all of a sudden saying that
Speaker 2: somebody's forty yard dash time at the combine wasn't correct
Speaker 2: because other people had handheld times for that forty yard dash,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you realize maybe there's
Speaker 2: a relationship with an agent, and you're going, in a minute,
Speaker 2: what about all the other guys who had hand time
Speaker 2: forty yard dashes? Just one player stood out?
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 9: Boy.
Speaker 4: Whenever I hear a negative report about a draftee this month,
Speaker 4: I think it's another team trying to get that draftee
Speaker 4: to drop to them.
Speaker 2: You know That's what it feels like. Well, we've talked
Speaker 2: about this where we have to have something to talk about.
Speaker 2: The mothership NFL network, they have to have something to
Speaker 2: talk about that's different. What is different. They can run
Speaker 2: ESPN can run with this the entire week if they
Speaker 2: want to. With Ty Simpson, they can run that and
Speaker 2: everybody's going to have an opinion on it. There's no
Speaker 2: other quarterback that you can put into the conversation. Though
Speaker 2: there's no QB three here, you're waiting for something else
Speaker 2: with this draft. How early do you take Jeremiah Love
Speaker 2: And where does Ty Simpson go?
Speaker 7: Yes, Mark, do not worry, guys. Next year's QB's class
Speaker 7: going to be loaded.
Speaker 2: Of course. It will be a couple of phone calls
Speaker 2: in here and then we'll talk to Clark Kellogg. David Montana,
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dave. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 9: Dan? First time ever doing this six one and a
Speaker 9: wife pleasing power lifting two hundred and thirty pounds. So
Speaker 9: I have been fortunate. I work for myself. I've been
Speaker 9: able to take my children to school in the morning
Speaker 9: all these years, and throughout all those years on in
Speaker 9: the background of the morning. And I'm a little bit emotional.
Speaker 9: Today is the anniversary my dad passing away. But You've
Speaker 9: always been in the background in the morning with my kids,
Speaker 9: the older kids that have moved on when they come
Speaker 9: back home. One of the things they always ask the
Speaker 9: younger kids his house, the Dan Patrick's show, and just
Speaker 9: having that constant stream in the morning. To tie all
Speaker 9: of that time together and all those years, I've got
Speaker 9: one story out of it. In the afternoon when I
Speaker 9: pick up the kids. Normally we've moved on to music.
Speaker 9: But the one day I wasn't feeling music and I
Speaker 9: had the radio station.
Speaker 2: On and Colin Cowhard was on.
Speaker 9: In the afternoon, kids hop in the truck. They look
Speaker 9: at the radio station. They're wondering what's going on. When
Speaker 9: I explain how radio stations work, everybody gets quiet for
Speaker 9: a couple seconds, and about ten seconds later, all you
Speaker 9: hear from the back is this guy sucks.
Speaker 2: Oh no, come on, come on, tell your kids to
Speaker 2: be nice. Sorry to hear about your dad. Good taste,
Speaker 2: but still you don't need to do that. No, no,
Speaker 2: we're not rack me. I'm out. Colin and I are fine.
Speaker 2: We're fine. We moved on. We're fine. The kids may
Speaker 2: have issues, but kids get it. Yeah, he's all choked up,
Speaker 2: and uh, well, there's one story. And then my kids
Speaker 2: say this. Now we're fine. Colin and I are fine,
Speaker 2: We move on.
Speaker 1: I knew that story was gonna end like this.
Speaker 2: You did at brought up Collins?
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I saw where this is going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lost my dad, kids, come back, this guy sucks. Alright,
Speaker 2: let's take a break. Nobody says a bad word about
Speaker 2: Clark Kellogg nobody. No, you can't find anybody who'll say
Speaker 2: a bad word about Clark. Kelloch Jumper was a little suspective. Stinks,
Speaker 2: but definitely not sucks. Clark will join us coming up
Speaker 2: next here on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 10: Paully Fools Gohere with Tony Foosco. Yeah, as everybody knows,
Speaker 10: we're the hosts of the award winning Paully and Tony
Speaker 10: Foodsco Show. But instead of us telling you how great
Speaker 10: we are, here's how Dan Patrick described us when he
Speaker 10: came on our show.
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1: What are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you wasn't
Speaker 1: talking about you.
Speaker 11: You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
Speaker 10: out and beat you.
Speaker 2: Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 10: Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully in tone many
Speaker 10: Boothsgo show on IoT Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
Speaker 10: get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Yea more phone calls coming up. They called him Special
Speaker 2: K when he was in high school and college. Clark
Speaker 2: Kellogg CBS Sports Lead college basketball studio analyst and the
Speaker 2: eighth round or eighth overall pick by the Pacers in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two in the first round. You still got
Speaker 2: your uniform from your Pacer days, you know, I've got
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 12: Have actually a Pacer uniform and a Buckeye uniform DP
Speaker 12: in a memorabilia case that primarily is filled with our
Speaker 12: kids stuff, not mine, But I do have I do
Speaker 12: have a Pacer uniform and a buck Eye jersey in then.
Speaker 2: Did you ever ask for somebody's jersey when you were playing?
Speaker 8: I have not.
Speaker 13: I do have a signed pair of Reggie Miller's shoes.
Speaker 13: I got a signed pair of Kobe's through an auction.
Speaker 13: Reggie actually signed a pair of personal for me. But
Speaker 13: that's I think. And I have something from John Wooden,
Speaker 13: the late great John Wooden. I have a basketball that
Speaker 13: he signed for me with a scripture reference on it. Oh,
Speaker 13: I can't think I'm not a huge memorabilia god, Dan,
Speaker 13: I'm not. I'm more of a memories guy. So I'm
Speaker 13: trying to accumulate those and photos and the like, and
Speaker 13: but no, I'm not a big memorabilia guy. Actually, my
Speaker 13: wife doesn't allow me to bring too much extra stuff.
Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine back in your day where you asked
Speaker 2: Larry Bird for one of his jerseys.
Speaker 13: No, that wasn't quite operated in that time. Great respect,
Speaker 13: great admiration. But I'm trying to figure out how I
Speaker 13: can maybe take him down when I see him and
Speaker 13: ask him for his jersey.
Speaker 8: But probably getting away of that.
Speaker 2: Everybody is it feels like lamenting. There's no Cinderella story.
Speaker 2: But I think there's dark horses like Iowa in Nebraska.
Speaker 2: It's a great story. Even Texas coming out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: but they're not a Cinderella story. There's high point BCU.
Speaker 2: You know they were nice, but now you know we
Speaker 2: get to this point. It feels like this is where
Speaker 2: you want the blue bloods or you want the best
Speaker 2: teams in college basketball. So your thoughts about no so
Speaker 2: called Cinderella Dan.
Speaker 13: This tournament is such a special event on the sports calendar.
Speaker 8: In the minds of many, it's the best.
Speaker 13: It's three weeks to a championship, that's sixty eight teams.
Speaker 13: Ultimately one gets a signing moment.
Speaker 8: You do have.
Speaker 13: Stories that unfold from places that you don't anticipate, and
Speaker 13: you can dub Cinderella however you'd.
Speaker 8: Like to dub her.
Speaker 13: This tournament always, always, always delivers. Now depending on your
Speaker 13: personal preference of what you prefer, then it might deliver
Speaker 13: more or less in a given year than you think.
Speaker 13: But by and large, we've had a great blend of
Speaker 13: the excitement, the unpredictability that is March Madness, and so
Speaker 13: I always embrace it for what it is each and
Speaker 13: every year. We had four number ones for the second
Speaker 13: time since the field expanded last year, and that was phenomenal.
Speaker 13: We very well could have three number ones in the
Speaker 13: final four this year.
Speaker 8: That's still TBD. So I take it for what it is.
Speaker 13: It's a joyous and exciting and blessed ride every year,
Speaker 13: and we've had quality matchups.
Speaker 8: We've had some surprising blowouts too.
Speaker 13: I mean we had blowouts in a four or five
Speaker 13: matchup between Texas Tech and Obama.
Speaker 8: We had a surprising.
Speaker 13: Blowout in an eight nine matchup between Saint Louis and Georgia.
Speaker 13: I can't recall seeing those kind of margins of victories
Speaker 13: with those two seed lines, so again, enjoy it for
Speaker 13: what it is.
Speaker 8: I'm not opposed so the matchups we have.
Speaker 13: Cinderella showed up briefly, and we still have one I
Speaker 13: think in Iowa, who shockingly dominated a dominating inside frontline
Speaker 13: in Florida.
Speaker 2: Talking to Clark Kellogg from CBS being studio for March Madness,
Speaker 2: the future of the mid major I don't want to overreact,
Speaker 2: but I do want to react to it. Of is
Speaker 2: this an aberration of what's gone on maybe the last
Speaker 2: two years, and maybe kind of this is the future
Speaker 2: with college basketball?
Speaker 13: Time shall tell Dan, you know, we have a real
Speaker 13: tendency towards recency bias in our lives and in our sports.
Speaker 13: And we'll see, right, we'll see it clearly looks like
Speaker 13: the tide has shifted more towards the Power Conference teams,
Speaker 13: the big brand names, but there's been a dominance of
Speaker 13: those groups. Anyway, it might be enhanced and increase going forward.
Speaker 13: I still believe part of the magic of this event
Speaker 13: is the fact that the mid majors of the.
Speaker 8: Non Power Conference teams have an.
Speaker 13: Opportunity, with the right mix and the right formula to
Speaker 13: get to an elite A to Final four where we
Speaker 13: see fewer than.
Speaker 8: We've seen in past years.
Speaker 13: The lanstgate tends to lead you to think that I
Speaker 13: would rather let the data accumulate before making a statement
Speaker 13: on it.
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering if I just look at this big
Speaker 2: picture logically, you have the big conferences where these kids
Speaker 2: might not be drafted and they could stay an extra
Speaker 2: year now, and you're going to then you're going to
Speaker 2: have big names at your school who will go to
Speaker 2: the draft. But then you're gonna get guys who go,
Speaker 2: I got nil that I can make money. I might
Speaker 2: stay a year longer at Kentucky or LSU or Florida
Speaker 2: those places. And you're also going to cherry pick the
Speaker 2: mid majors where you go, hey, do you see that
Speaker 2: freshman or a sophomore. We can offer you money, And
Speaker 2: that's where I think you're going to have guys stay.
Speaker 2: But you're also going to get an influx of guys
Speaker 2: who have proven that they can play, and you may
Speaker 2: not have to go after you know, a high school kid,
Speaker 2: you're getting somebody who's already you know, battle tested.
Speaker 13: Valid valid points, real points, that reality exists. But I
Speaker 13: also think somebody mentioned this to me, and I can't
Speaker 13: recall who it was, because I'd love to attribute this
Speaker 13: to them, But they also talked about as much as
Speaker 13: we've talked about the Marquis freshman and how great this
Speaker 13: class is, there also have been a number of really
Speaker 13: good freshmen that have played at the high points or
Speaker 13: the mid majors and have excelled. And I think so
Speaker 13: may stend some of that tide and still help March
Speaker 13: Madness be a Cinderella place on occasion, will be that
Speaker 13: some of these high school kids that are talented but
Speaker 13: may not be one and done kind of guys will
Speaker 13: end up in good situations at winning programs at the
Speaker 13: mid major level, and some of them will decide that
Speaker 13: that's the best place for me to be as long
Speaker 13: as I can be comfortably taken care of from an
Speaker 13: nil standpoint and can develop and can maybe make a
Speaker 13: March Madness moment with a group of guys that I
Speaker 13: want to play with. So I think that's still going
Speaker 13: to exist. I'm always idealistic won't exist as much, but
Speaker 13: I think it still will be part of the fabric.
Speaker 2: Feels like people are cooling on Duke's chances.
Speaker 13: Understandably, So, I mean, when you look at how Michigan
Speaker 13: is played purduers coming on Arizona. I thought Michigan in
Speaker 13: Arizona coming into the tournament would have been co favorites.
Speaker 13: I don't look at the odds makers, but I'm sure
Speaker 13: that's probably what it looked like. I know Duke at
Speaker 13: one point, but you have the injury to Gonem, but
Speaker 13: he looked good in this game. He looks to be
Speaker 13: one hundred percent. Obviously, Kayla Foster is not coming back.
Speaker 13: You're wondering how that affects Duke as they go forward.
Speaker 13: So I could see where if you're ranking the remaining
Speaker 13: teams and you've got tom Izzoe in Michigan State looking
Speaker 13: at you and how successful he's been, that Duke would
Speaker 13: be considered maybe vulnerable in its bracket.
Speaker 8: They've got Saint John's first, which isn't going to be easy.
Speaker 13: So I could see that, Yeah, I could see that
Speaker 13: where people would cool on their chances to win it all.
Speaker 2: Did B why you get their money's worth with aj DEBANSA.
Speaker 8: That's a relative question.
Speaker 13: I mean, clearly they got talked about more and probably
Speaker 13: got more media exposure and contact than they could have
Speaker 13: ever imagined, certainly in terms of what happened on the
Speaker 13: floor in terms of success, maybe a ted But but again,
Speaker 13: I don't know what the number was. You hear those numbers,
Speaker 13: but there's no real reporting like you get from the NBA,
Speaker 13: where you know what guys are really making. I think
Speaker 13: it was as long as he felt good about where
Speaker 13: he landed, they felt good about how he produced. The
Speaker 13: results as a team were less than anticipated, but I
Speaker 13: would think it would have been I would look at
Speaker 13: it as a fair exchange.
Speaker 2: Quite honestly, we're gonna expand the first four. At some
Speaker 2: point you're.
Speaker 8: Assered of that. Yeah, okay, what do you think is
Speaker 8: going to be DP?
Speaker 2: I just think you double Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 8: So you're talking eight teams.
Speaker 2: You just you get six. You still get your sixty
Speaker 2: four to start officially on Thursday. But I think they'll
Speaker 2: just they'll add more games on Tuesday and Wednesday. I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody will have a problem with more games
Speaker 2: on Tuesday and Wednesday. And I mean the structure is
Speaker 2: going to be the same. I think that's what people
Speaker 2: will be like, Okay, we still have our sixty four
Speaker 2: teams and are are one through sixteen. I think they'll
Speaker 2: just they'll add to Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean they've talked.
Speaker 13: The talk has been seventy two to seventy six teams,
Speaker 13: which mathematically makes sense because most of the championships that
Speaker 13: the NCAA puts on, twenty percent of the eligible teams
Speaker 13: make the postseason. We are currently at three hundred and
Speaker 13: sixty five Division One teams. Twenty percent of that would
Speaker 13: be seventy three. So I've reconciled that being I know
Speaker 13: it's about more games and more money, but I've reconciled
Speaker 13: the mathematical component of why we would expand, and it
Speaker 13: was much the same when we went from sixty four
Speaker 13: to sixty eight in twenty eleven.
Speaker 8: The number of Division One teams.
Speaker 13: That increase, you want to get to that twenty twenty one,
Speaker 13: twenty two percent.
Speaker 8: And I'm fine with that.
Speaker 13: Expanding for the sake of expansion, no, But when you've
Speaker 13: got a ration now behind it, more teams create more
Speaker 13: spaces for opportunities for more players student athletes, so I'm
Speaker 13: good with it. I don't think we'll go anything beyond
Speaker 13: either four additional teams or eight, And to your point,
Speaker 13: I think folks will be fine and adjust and be
Speaker 13: happy with starting the sixty four team bracket on Thursday.
Speaker 13: The calendar won't allow for much more than that. I
Speaker 13: just think the calendar would allow for anything beyond that.
Speaker 2: How often does Charles Berkley leave you speechless?
Speaker 14: I mean, but it's so much fun for him to
Speaker 14: leave you speechless or shaking your head, or scratching your head,
Speaker 14: or just laughing hysterically.
Speaker 13: I tell everybody you know you spent a lot of
Speaker 13: time around him. He's one of the most gracious celebrities
Speaker 13: of his stature that you will find anywhere, because he's
Speaker 13: genuinely a good guy, and he is a genuinely funny guy,
Speaker 13: which adds to his persona, which is off the charge.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you work. Thanks for joining us, Clark.
Speaker 13: Always a pleasure, Dan, I look forward to it every year.
Speaker 13: Keep up the great work, Man, Clark.
Speaker 2: Kellong CBS lead college basketball studio analysts known as Special K.
Speaker 2: Let's see a couple of phone calls in here. How
Speaker 2: about Mark and Nebraska? Hi? Mark, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 11: Dan six o one working on a two hundred pounds
Speaker 11: So I am a proud Nebraska fan. I'm twenty five
Speaker 11: years old. And this is probably might be the biggest
Speaker 11: Nebraska game in my entire lifetime. All right, Dan, there
Speaker 11: are three things. I am Reese on Mark Mark.
Speaker 2: There aren't a lot of big Nebraska games in your lifetime.
Speaker 11: Hey more, my parents. My parents say that we used
Speaker 11: to be really good at football.
Speaker 2: And I have yet to be lea. You guys were
Speaker 2: really good at football, trust me. But have you become
Speaker 2: a basketball school?
Speaker 11: You know, i'd say lately for sure? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 11: I don't know our football team, Like I'm not, Like
Speaker 11: I'm not drinking the kool aid too much this year.
Speaker 11: But I went down to Oklahoma City for the first
Speaker 11: round game and like there were sixteen thousand fans there,
Speaker 11: fifteen thousand were Nebraska. Yeah yeah, And even during the
Speaker 11: second round game. You heard him channing Husker power during
Speaker 11: the Houston Texas.
Speaker 9: A and M game.
Speaker 11: So for me to believe that there isn't just going
Speaker 11: to be a sea of red coming down from Lincoln,
Speaker 11: Nebraska and taking over Houston, I don't believe it. But
Speaker 11: I'm telling you skirts by ninety I have an absolute
Speaker 11: hatred for Iowa, always had and this is this is
Speaker 11: my super Bowl here.
Speaker 2: Why do you hate Iowa.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, there's a few personal reasons. My dad
Speaker 11: is also an Iowa State fan. He went to school
Speaker 11: at Iowa State, so also a hatred there. Had next
Speaker 11: girlfriend who's an Iowa fan cheated on me. But that's
Speaker 11: neither here nor there. But that's a personal reason. But yeah,
Speaker 11: I mean, why iwa who even likes I sat?
Speaker 2: All right, Well, good luck Mark. I really am looking
Speaker 2: forward to that game. I just hope that it is
Speaker 2: what we expected to be, almost like when Oklahoma Nebraska
Speaker 2: played football on Thanksgiving back in the seventies. Ah, that
Speaker 2: was great stuff. Nate, Mila, Hi, Nate, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 15: I wanted to throw an idea out there for your
Speaker 15: speech at your daughter's wedding in August. Yep, why not
Speaker 15: incorporate Why not incorporate elements in a DP ship like
Speaker 15: it stat of the day, the number of times you
Speaker 15: were proud of your daughter, this day in sports history,
Speaker 15: a proud sports village she had as a kid, best
Speaker 15: and worse, thell the weekend, best her getting married and
Speaker 15: worst this speech and then and then take some calls
Speaker 15: from the wedding game.
Speaker 2: I'll take some people be raising their hand at the
Speaker 2: recept giving me their height and weight. Oh, thank you, Nate.
Speaker 2: A lot of suggestions coming in yesterday on social media
Speaker 2: helping me get through this speech in August. Yes, Ton,
Speaker 2: take it from me.
Speaker 5: You don't want to make it about you. If you
Speaker 5: do something like that, then you're totally making it about you.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Todd. While you just made it about you.
Speaker 2: Not wanting to make it about you.
Speaker 5: It's really a new wind situation. But I thought that
Speaker 5: was a clever thing to say in the moment.
Speaker 9: Thank you Tod.
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying yesterday.
Speaker 3: So whatever you do, just don't make it about you, Dan.
Speaker 2: Tod, you can't help yourself.
Speaker 5: I just walk right into it, Donna.
Speaker 2: You do like Seaton had a really good story about
Speaker 2: screwing up his haircut and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: it became about you.
Speaker 5: I made a five second comment thing. You know, it's
Speaker 5: a first world problem I had.
Speaker 2: Well, why can't you could have just commented on seat
Speaker 2: and let seat and have the moment.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize I was doing something so awful and
Speaker 5: that little five to six second comment.
Speaker 2: That or it's five six second comments over the course
Speaker 2: of twenty years, add that up how many hours is
Speaker 2: that over twenty years, that would be a lot. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Todd Curtis in Dayton, Hi Curtis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling me about DP yep.
Speaker 16: So over the weekend, it was quiet at my house
Speaker 16: on Sunday and I thought, you know what, I'm going
Speaker 16: to give the todcast a chance. And have you ever
Speaker 16: watched a movie afterwards you.
Speaker 2: Don't know what you just watched.
Speaker 16: I didn't know whether I needed the shower or laugh.
Speaker 2: Well, I would say that is the Toodcast. It is unique.
Speaker 2: And if you have an hour an hour de spair
Speaker 2: and you want to listen to more Todd tell you
Speaker 2: about Todd than go to Danpatrick dot com The Toodcast.
Speaker 2: I find it. It's it's a lot, there's a lot
Speaker 2: going on there, but yeah, it's the podcast.
Speaker 7: Yes, Marv, there's no stop signs on the podcast. No,
Speaker 7: there is, like you and Paulie are here to stop
Speaker 7: for its. Yeah, Dylan's like, hey, your love life go.
Speaker 2: Dylan is kind of the host, but all he is
Speaker 2: is basically the matre d to have Todd said at
Speaker 2: his table, he's an instigator. Also, you'll sneak a line
Speaker 2: in there. But yeah, the Gambling Podcast and toodcast are
Speaker 2: They are awesome, They are unique, interesting, they're fun. More
Speaker 2: phone calls coming up. We'll take a break here. Baseball's
Speaker 2: Opening Day tomorrow, a standalone game with the Giants and
Speaker 2: the Yankees. We update the pull results. We're back after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search f are
Speaker 1: to listen live Baseball Opening Day.
Speaker 2: Netflix once again trying to get more involved in live
Speaker 2: sports programming, and that'll be at night Baseball Opening Day.
Speaker 2: I do lament Opening Day only because personally, when I
Speaker 2: was growing up in Cincinnati, the Red's always had Opening Day.
Speaker 2: Baseball always started in Cincinnati, and that got away from us,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, I'm like, I don't
Speaker 2: know what Opening Day when it is? And then the
Speaker 2: mother Ship had Sunday night where they wanted to have
Speaker 2: Opening Day. Dodgers have gone, you know, to Japan Opening Day,
Speaker 2: and I do think this commissioner has done a really
Speaker 2: good job. I do, And I'm wondering about this as
Speaker 2: baseball moves forward, what are we going to do with
Speaker 2: the automated balls and strikes, and I do think it's
Speaker 2: coming and I'm fine with it. If it means we're
Speaker 2: going to get more calls correct, then great, it's inevitable.
Speaker 2: We have the technology. Now here's the key for me?
Speaker 2: How do I dress this up so esthetically it looks cool?
Speaker 2: Can I get green light strike, red red light ball?
Speaker 2: How does it look? Now? I wouldn't do the box.
Speaker 2: I would remove the box the strike zone because I
Speaker 2: would want you to watch and then we wonder, now
Speaker 2: if you wanted to go back and then have a
Speaker 2: ball or strike call and put the box over it
Speaker 2: to reinforce something, or if they missed a call with
Speaker 2: automated balls and strikes. But I think, how am I?
Speaker 2: It's just like basketball courts. They're going to dress things
Speaker 2: up like we're just starting here, Like can you do
Speaker 2: something where three point line is illuminated? Can we do
Speaker 2: something with the paint? Can we make it more of
Speaker 2: a pinball feel to it? And I mean, it's all
Speaker 2: about the aesthetics of watching a game and you could
Speaker 2: be there and still not miss out as opposed to
Speaker 2: if you're watching on TV. But I do think that
Speaker 2: that's the next wave, how do we create more of
Speaker 2: an environment when you're watching it's more than just you're
Speaker 2: watching a sporting event. It's almost an event within an event.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paulie, there was an article about a week and
Speaker 4: a half ago. MLB broadcasts will likely no longer use
Speaker 4: a strike zone box to indicate where the pitch was
Speaker 4: or whether it was a ball or strike. That coincides
Speaker 4: with the implementation of the ABS system. Yeah, so that
Speaker 4: is likely happening almost immediately this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like it now. I think you're sometimes
Speaker 2: misled because the camera is over the pitcher, the right
Speaker 2: side of the pitcher, and it's not frame you know,
Speaker 2: it's not framed correctly, so you can get something that
Speaker 2: looks like it's a striker a ball, and it's not
Speaker 2: just because of the camera angle of that. But I
Speaker 2: do like, can we have something that shows up on
Speaker 2: the scoreboard? Can we have something that shows up on
Speaker 2: the screen. But I do think that's coming. And these
Speaker 2: basketball courts, I do think that, you know, we're just
Speaker 2: starting now. Some of these are terrible looking. The Big
Speaker 2: twelve that was terrible looking. Plus you got to make
Speaker 2: it safe too. But I think what you can do
Speaker 2: with these basketball courts, and I would bring back the
Speaker 2: red white and blue basketball. I would. I would bring
Speaker 2: that and get it. It's so I mean, it's awesome
Speaker 2: to watch that ball, you know, you get the rotation.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a lot of fun to
Speaker 2: get that. Bring that back. Take it from the You
Speaker 2: took everything else from the ABA, why not take the basketball.
Speaker 2: It's red, white and blue, it's Americana. Well, be great, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at some descriptions of the new broadcast. I
Speaker 4: wonder if it's going to clean up the broadcast not
Speaker 4: having the shaded box, and I look a little more
Speaker 4: old school to the eye. When you're watching a baseball.
Speaker 2: When you go back and look at old footage and
Speaker 2: there's nothing on the screen, nothing, no graphics, no what's
Speaker 2: what's the balls and strikes and outs and runner at second?
Speaker 2: Nothing nothing. It's it's like watching a hockey game and
Speaker 2: there's nothing on the boards. Now you got all that advertising, yes, Todd,
Speaker 2: But in some.
Speaker 5: Ways, even though it looks so naked, it forces people
Speaker 5: to pay attention to what's going on in the game
Speaker 5: and the balls and strikes in the situation, and who's
Speaker 5: on base. And now we're in a world of you
Speaker 5: don't have to remember a phone number or anything. Everything
Speaker 5: is just in your face constantly.
Speaker 2: Tommy in Minneapolis, I Tommy, what's on your mind?
Speaker 17: Good morning, Dan. Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 9: Dan.
Speaker 17: I'd like to ask you a question, but before I
Speaker 17: ask the question, I want to give you some background
Speaker 17: as to why I'm asking the questions. Dan lead the
Speaker 17: sports talk radio station in my market decided, after years
Speaker 17: of taking live in calls, not to take any Liven
Speaker 17: calls anymore. And the reason they said is because it
Speaker 17: wasn't adding to the content of the show. So I
Speaker 17: started thinking, well, the Dan Patrick Show is probably the
Speaker 17: best sports talk show out there, and you're a three
Speaker 17: hour show. You take life call ins and it really
Speaker 17: adds to the contents of your show, I believe. So
Speaker 17: my question to you, Dan is, when you are putting
Speaker 17: the format of your show together, why did you decide
Speaker 17: to take live callings?
Speaker 2: Because you're you're allowing me into your life, whether you're
Speaker 2: listening in real time in your car, watching at home,
Speaker 2: or listening on the podcast, and I love that relationship.
Speaker 2: You get an opportunity unity to be part of the show,
Speaker 2: and I welcome that it's a great honor that you
Speaker 2: want to call in, you want to take time out,
Speaker 2: you want to share, you want to be part of
Speaker 2: the show. And I just love the reciprocation. And that's
Speaker 2: why we've always done it, and we'll continue to do it.
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller in the final hour of the program,
