Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio hour or two on this Tuesday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Danette stan Patrick Show. Now that the last dance
Speaker 1: is over, everybody's wondering, what's the next great sports documentary?
Speaker 1: Saw one on Bruce Lee that's coming up. On the
Speaker 1: Mother's Ship, Lance Armstrong, that one's coming up. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is there another one with Michael Jordan and the Bulls,
Speaker 1: The Wizard's Years. I'm up for that as well. You know,
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, maybe the New England Patriots, maybe Lebron James,
Speaker 1: maybe the Golden State Warriors. How about a college team,
Speaker 1: how about the Yukon women's basketball team, Alabama football? But
Speaker 1: you need characters. Now, Jordan was a character. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was this tour to force, but there was a
Speaker 1: lot attached to him and the way players reacted, fans reacted,
Speaker 1: teammates reacted. You know, Dennis Rodman, you throw him in there,
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson in their krausing. There any great story. If
Speaker 1: you watch a show on Netflix, you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot of different characters. You're gonna have the main character,
Speaker 1: you have the side stories, and then the side stories
Speaker 1: are interwoven with the Star. I mean Better Call Saul.
Speaker 1: I'm watching that now, the side stories and how they
Speaker 1: intersect with Better Call Saul breaking bad. The same thing.
Speaker 1: You had stories on the Priphrey, but they would eventually
Speaker 1: get to Walter White. That's what you have of the documentary.
Speaker 1: You got Michael Jordan, but Michael Jordan and Jerry Krause,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson's in here. There were
Speaker 1: so many different pieces. Isaiah Thomas is in this. That's
Speaker 1: what you need with a great documentary. The Patriots don't
Speaker 1: have that. You know it's a dynasty, but you don't
Speaker 1: have anything there. San Antonio Spurs. You don't have any
Speaker 1: drama there. You need tension, you need drama. You don't
Speaker 1: have that. Yukon women. I think Gino rim in the
Speaker 1: way he coached, he had some personalities there. It might
Speaker 1: be a niche documentary, but you might have something there.
Speaker 1: It started with Rebecca Lobo, Diana Terrazzi, Sue Bird, Maya
Speaker 1: Moore and like you had some really great players, but
Speaker 1: did you have tension? Did you have drama? It felt
Speaker 1: like you had drama when they started to lose. When
Speaker 1: you lose to Mississippi State or lose to Notre Dame
Speaker 1: or you lose to Baylor. That's when you get something
Speaker 1: interesting here. Golden State Warriors. That last year. Absolutely, if
Speaker 1: you were looking for something that would be close to
Speaker 1: the last dance, that would have been really interesting. Draymond
Speaker 1: and Durant. Draymond reaches out to Durant reportedly after they
Speaker 1: lose the previous year, we need you or the two
Speaker 1: it was two years prior, we need you, and you
Speaker 1: recruit him, the Hampton's five. You recruit him, you get
Speaker 1: him there, you win, you're great, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it starts to fall apart, and then Draymond
Speaker 1: and Durant go at one another. You know, Steph Curry's role,
Speaker 1: How do they feel about Durant. Then you had Clay
Speaker 1: Thompson getting injured, Durant getting injured, and then it falls apart.
Speaker 1: That would be interesting there. Alabama football. You're not going
Speaker 1: to get anything out of Nick Saban. What you would
Speaker 1: he allow his players, what his players feel like, former
Speaker 1: players that they could talk about him and the answers. No,
Speaker 1: even former players, they're they're cautious in you know, they
Speaker 1: measure their words when they talk about Nick Saban but
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to have anything like
Speaker 1: The Last Dance, not anytime soon. You know, Lance Armstrong
Speaker 1: story has been told. Bruce Lee is going to have
Speaker 1: a whole new audience there, and you know, there were
Speaker 1: probably some stories that we haven't heard about Bruce Lee.
Speaker 1: But it feels like with Lance Armstrong, unless this is
Speaker 1: about Lance today and what has happened since his fall
Speaker 1: from Grace, all right, I'll watch it, Bruce Lee, I'll
Speaker 1: watch I was always fascinated with Bruce Lee. I was
Speaker 1: fascinated because Kareem Abdul Jabbar loved Bruce Lee, and I
Speaker 1: think he was trying to understand what Bruce Lee did
Speaker 1: and you know, sort of that magic of you know,
Speaker 1: him at that size and how brilliant he was at
Speaker 1: his craft. But I'll watch that one as well. I
Speaker 1: just don't know if we're going to have a documentary
Speaker 1: that's going to be anywhere near what we saw O. J. Simpson.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever have something like I
Speaker 1: hope we don't have something like that. But how that
Speaker 1: was told, and the fact that you had the Bronco
Speaker 1: chased and there's so much involved in him, so many
Speaker 1: people in his legal team and everything that happened with that,
Speaker 1: and the ramifications of that, the outrage after that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to be able to have
Speaker 1: any kind of emotion from a documentary that would come
Speaker 1: anywhere near that. And then with the Jordan documentary, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that Lebron could put out a documentary unless
Speaker 1: it was when he went back to Cleveland and they
Speaker 1: won the title that year. But even then, what kind
Speaker 1: of drama do I have? Tension? You know? Maybe you
Speaker 1: could say that he didn't like his coaches or he
Speaker 1: didn't like the owner. Okay, that's not enough. The owner
Speaker 1: was a big problem there for Lebron. I just don't
Speaker 1: know if you're going to get that, Like, was Lebron
Speaker 1: making fun of him the way Michael Jordan was Jerry Krauss?
Speaker 1: Maybe and if you have that, great, but I can't
Speaker 1: imagine that if you're looking at Golden State would have
Speaker 1: worked for me because of Durant and Draymond Patriots, nobody's
Speaker 1: going to talk. Yes, Todd, not only do you need
Speaker 1: the story and the characters, they also need the access.
Speaker 1: We hear about how Jordan let them in on all
Speaker 1: that for a full year and they got all kinds
Speaker 1: of stuff. You without that kind of access, I don't
Speaker 1: know what access in Lebron's career was allowed over these
Speaker 1: past few years. You've got to have that. I don't
Speaker 1: care how great the story is if you're not getting
Speaker 1: really up and close to what's being said behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: Are in a huddle. Yeah, mcglovin. I think the decision
Speaker 1: would be a great documentary. We were. I think that
Speaker 1: you might be a little too close to it. But
Speaker 1: in twenty years to young fans, everything that led up
Speaker 1: to that and everything that happened afterwards, taking my talents
Speaker 1: to South Beach will make an amazing documentary. I think
Speaker 1: the details, yeah, I think behind the scenes leading up
Speaker 1: to that night, when Lebron sat down with Jim Gray
Speaker 1: because of the speculation of he was doing it in Greenwich, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: and people thought, well, the location of this means he's
Speaker 1: going to the New York Knicks. And I remember it
Speaker 1: was almost minute by minute that people had a different
Speaker 1: opinion of where Lebron James was going. They had it
Speaker 1: all figured out, and then I remember Stephen A. Smith
Speaker 1: said he's going to Miami and people went what he said,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that he's going to Miami. Now, I didn't
Speaker 1: say I'm reporting it. He goes, I'm hearing, and he
Speaker 1: heard correctly, But that might be interesting leading up to it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, you know, you have to have
Speaker 1: the video there, and it feels like anybody who's going
Speaker 1: to do it behind the scenes documentary is going to
Speaker 1: do it the way we do reality TV now, and
Speaker 1: it's not really real. You know, the Real Housewives of
Speaker 1: New Jersey or New York City or Orange County or whatever,
Speaker 1: it's not real. They stage it. They tell you, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna shoot this. You're gonna be angry at her,
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw something, You're gonna do this, you hate her,
Speaker 1: she hate you, and then ready, let's go. That's not
Speaker 1: reality TV. The great TV is when you don't you
Speaker 1: forget the cameras are rolling. And you got that feeling
Speaker 1: in the last dance that Jordan was just going to
Speaker 1: He knew that was being filmed, but he also knew
Speaker 1: this may never see the light of day. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the difference there, when you get them to
Speaker 1: forget the camera is there is when you get real.
Speaker 1: I just sound like doctor Phil. You get real. Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: if you could do a Tiger Woods documentary where it
Speaker 1: goes back to his last major I think it was
Speaker 1: oh eight when everything went haywire and it focused on
Speaker 1: that point of time, where was it christ de Marco.
Speaker 1: He was going against and Rock immediating those guys, and
Speaker 1: he had a couple of great battles with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: and then he had the Thanksgiving night and all the
Speaker 1: different things. He wouldn't never allow you, correct now he wouldn't.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if years down the road or some way,
Speaker 1: and again we're not going to have video an audio
Speaker 1: of that those things that went on, but that would
Speaker 1: be one I think people would tune into. Oh I would,
Speaker 1: but he's so closed off. He's more open now than
Speaker 1: he ever was, and he's still closed off back then.
Speaker 1: You know the stories that were circulating about Tiger. Would
Speaker 1: he talk about that Thanksgiving? Would he talk about the
Speaker 1: car accident? Would he talk about is that? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what you would want, but you're not going to
Speaker 1: get that with Tiger. You know, if there was a
Speaker 1: film crew with the surgery and the rehab and all
Speaker 1: to that and the comeback, and you know there's a
Speaker 1: lot there with Tiger Woods. You know, when he's taken
Speaker 1: pills and he's pulled over by the police, he's asleep
Speaker 1: behind the wheel. You know that we forget about all
Speaker 1: of these things with Tiger because we now look at
Speaker 1: Tiger go. Yeah, he made it through to the other side.
Speaker 1: Back then, we weren't quite sure if he'd ever play again,
Speaker 1: let alone win, And that seems like it was such
Speaker 1: a long time ago that that happened, and it's not
Speaker 1: yeah point. It would be fascinating from a structure standpoint
Speaker 1: if you focused on three different wins from Tiger Woods
Speaker 1: his first Masters, his first Major in ninety seven, then
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight US opened in the playoff
Speaker 1: against Media eight, and then the two thou nineteen Masters,
Speaker 1: use those as the three focal points, and then do
Speaker 1: the backstory of everything else that happened around it in
Speaker 1: between those things, and even that could be that would
Speaker 1: be easy to do, well, not easy to do easy
Speaker 1: to structure, Yes, yes, yes, because you have to have
Speaker 1: Tiger going, oh hey, let me sit down and talk
Speaker 1: about that Thanksgiving night when I was caught texting somebody else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it ain't happening. Jordan at least addressed the gambling rumors.
Speaker 1: He addressed and talked about his father's murder. He talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, the food poisoning. These are the story in
Speaker 1: the baseball career why he left. He at least touched
Speaker 1: on those. Now, did he go as deep as we wanted?
Speaker 1: Probably not, But you know, to his credit, he had
Speaker 1: to answer these. If you're going to do a documentary,
Speaker 1: Tiger's not going to answer those. He's just not. Fritzie
Speaker 1: called for Tiger and see if you'll join us talk
Speaker 1: about this. OK. Do you remember when we had a
Speaker 1: producer at the mother Ship here we go? When he
Speaker 1: came in that day when we were doing our rundown
Speaker 1: for our show, and I'm thinking that they had sort
Speaker 1: of a management spy that was just keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on our show and he would come in and just
Speaker 1: monitor what was being said. And it didn't really offer
Speaker 1: much and he was a nice guy, but he said,
Speaker 1: would you guys We were talking about Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: he goes, would you guys have Tiger Woods on? And
Speaker 1: we all stopped. It's one of those where the meeting goes,
Speaker 1: what would you have Tiger Woods on? And I went, oh,
Speaker 1: my god, just sit here and just monitor eavesdrop on
Speaker 1: our meeting. Don't don't offer up anything. Yeah, boy, in
Speaker 1: the same vein. We had a show once where Fritzie
Speaker 1: just crushed it. I think we had Peyton Manning and
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods on the same show. I'm not kidding, and
Speaker 1: on the same show. Those are two guests. And I
Speaker 1: sent out a show recap note to all the people
Speaker 1: in management at the Mothership and were cool. But this
Speaker 1: one guy sent a note back and corrected something I
Speaker 1: spelled wrong in my show recap note instead saying, hey,
Speaker 1: good job at you and the team getting Fritzy getting
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning on the same show, and
Speaker 1: I remember looking at it, I almost went crazy and
Speaker 1: I just said, I gotta go take a walk. I
Speaker 1: think he used purple for one of the names when
Speaker 1: they preferred green for the colors. Now, Paulie got in
Speaker 1: trouble because his show notes weren't professional. They were just
Speaker 1: show notes. The show was good, Yeah, the show was professional.
Speaker 1: The show notes weren't like the recap for management to read,
Speaker 1: and Paulie got in trouble there. We're all worked out
Speaker 1: and got in trouble. Yes, yes, Adrian Wojanarowski was on
Speaker 1: in the first hour, and whenever I have Wojohn, Wog
Speaker 1: doesn't talk in speculation hypotheticals. Wog deals with details and
Speaker 1: he's got information. And that's why when I asked him
Speaker 1: about what kind of scenario do you see with this
Speaker 1: NBA season and are we playing and where are we
Speaker 1: playing basketball games? When and if the end comes back,
Speaker 1: here's Adrian wojan Rownski. Now, when you're talking about site
Speaker 1: or sites, are we talking about Vegas Orlando? Are those
Speaker 1: are the two sites that are in conversations. That's right, Dan,
Speaker 1: and Orlando has had a lot of traction, and I
Speaker 1: think the question is going to be, you know, are
Speaker 1: they going to put all the teams in one place?
Speaker 1: Are they going to perhaps have teams moving among two
Speaker 1: sites based on an Eastern Western Conference scenario. But the
Speaker 1: one thing Adam Silver has told the players and told
Speaker 1: the owners what he doesn't want or teams flying around.
Speaker 1: You're not going to see what Baseball's proposing, which is
Speaker 1: teams moving around, playing in home stadiums. The NBA's focused
Speaker 1: on a one site, no fans, and then they're going
Speaker 1: to deal with trying to get back into arenas again,
Speaker 1: buildings again for the start of next season. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: let's unpack that. He's saying that Orlando sounds like it's
Speaker 1: going to be the center of this. You got Disney headquarters,
Speaker 1: and you're going to be able to get all your
Speaker 1: teams down there. Are you going to get all the teams,
Speaker 1: including the teams that are on the outside of the
Speaker 1: playoffs looking in? Or is that going to be We're
Speaker 1: just going to start the playoffs there. What I think
Speaker 1: could happen and alluded to this, you might have Vegas
Speaker 1: for the West Coast teams and Orlando for the East
Speaker 1: Coast teams. And the NBA hasn't been talking about anything,
Speaker 1: which I think is a positive sign, and Wode agreed
Speaker 1: with me. We haven't heard anything. There's no leaks like
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Somebody leaks this to the media. Anything
Speaker 1: they talk about, what they had for lunch gets leaked
Speaker 1: to the media. NBA Wode said, the commissioner is not
Speaker 1: even sharing this with the owners right now because you
Speaker 1: don't want this to get out. You don't want to
Speaker 1: create this speculation period again that we've already had, because
Speaker 1: remember he was talking about May first, and then it
Speaker 1: was May eighth, and I said, you can't do that
Speaker 1: because this is changing daily. California, their governor just said,
Speaker 1: we're basically open for business with sports. A week ago,
Speaker 1: we were gonna extend this for three months, going to
Speaker 1: stay at home. It's it's happening in real time, and
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the NBA is doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: Don't say anything. Get your plan. You got one shot
Speaker 1: to make it work, and work on that, and you
Speaker 1: know you have the infrastructure there to make it work
Speaker 1: in Orlando and or Vegas. Then maybe you have an
Speaker 1: NBA season. Maybe you have maybe five games regular season.
Speaker 1: It takes two weeks for them to get ready and
Speaker 1: then it will be five games regular season, and then
Speaker 1: that allows you go into the postseason. A couple of
Speaker 1: phone calls here, we'll take rake, we'll explore what baseball
Speaker 1: is doing, trying to do and is it really possible.
Speaker 1: Adam in West Virginia, Hi, Adam, what do you have
Speaker 1: for me? Hey? DP, how you doing? Hy? Five? Ten?
Speaker 1: Very soft? Two thirty corown The body here been stuck
Speaker 1: at home for a couple of weeks, two and a
Speaker 1: half year old, pregnant wife. It's been interesting, but I
Speaker 1: got a suggestion for you on the next Doctor Battery. Okay,
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson years with the Lakers that could be entertaining. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and good luck there, Adam with the two and a
Speaker 1: half year old and mom being pregnant. There. You don't
Speaker 1: have Kobe, Now, if you have some things that you could, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. You know, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do a documentary, you know, if Phil and Shock
Speaker 1: are going to say things, you got players that played
Speaker 1: with the team, it could be interesting. I don't know
Speaker 1: how delicate that is to do a documentary, and Kobe's
Speaker 1: not alive to talk about it. But and I also
Speaker 1: have some football teams that I do think would make
Speaker 1: for a great documentary. I'll bring that to your tension.
Speaker 1: Coming up, more phone calls eight seven to seven three

Speaker 1: and of course with my limited memory, I forgot that
Speaker 1: I tease this. Lebron James played high school football. I
Speaker 1: don't think he played his senior year, but his junior year,
Speaker 1: and he was All State. Of course, as a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He wore number nine. Anybody want to guess why Lebron
Speaker 1: James wore number nine when he played football. I'll give
Speaker 1: you a thousand guesses. Yes, PAULI, is it something Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals related? No, it's college football related. I'll even give
Speaker 1: you the conference ACC. Number nine was a player in
Speaker 1: the ACC that he liked. Yes, oh man, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you the school. I think you might get it.
Speaker 1: Florida State. Peter Work. Yes, wow, that's niche. Peter Work
Speaker 1: was a heck of a player. Yeah he was. And
Speaker 1: Lebron loved Peter Warwick and he wore number nine because
Speaker 1: of him when he played high school football. There. Uh,
Speaker 1: speaking of Ohio, this guy raked in Ohio. He's Sean Casey,
Speaker 1: former Major League Baseball All Star MLB Network analysts, three
Speaker 1: time All Star, wearing his s medium here. He's a
Speaker 1: member of the Cincinnati Roads Hall of Fame. What are
Speaker 1: you doing with the T shirt there? I'm just so jack,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean? I don't know
Speaker 1: that's it's an excel. What does it look like it does?
Speaker 1: Give me Give me a double gun? Give me both
Speaker 1: both have both barrels, double barrel? Whoa? What these things?
Speaker 1: Have you been tested any lately? Sean? Well, you know
Speaker 1: what day I thought i'd get in shape. Affright, you
Speaker 1: are still as slow as you were when you played. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm slower than I was in better shape. It's just crazy.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, all right. Helping me understand major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: It feels like anything that's said at the home office
Speaker 1: is leaked to the media. Here. There's no secrets here
Speaker 1: with Major League Baseball. So what do you think is
Speaker 1: the best case scenario here from Major League Baseball? Wow?
Speaker 1: This is yeah, You're right, I don't think there are
Speaker 1: any secrets. Seems like there's no secrets anymore in life,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the best case scenario is hopefully uh you know baseball.
Speaker 1: You know that that they they find a way to
Speaker 1: maybe get some games year. I just I just feel
Speaker 1: like it would be great for everybody. But I do
Speaker 1: understand both sides. Dan obviously come up from the player's
Speaker 1: point of view, but I do know, I do know
Speaker 1: Rob Bamford is one of the smartest guys out there.
Speaker 1: Tony Batti, who's right next to them. You know, those
Speaker 1: guys that are that are running baseball, are are are
Speaker 1: are so smart they'll they'll leave no stone on turn
Speaker 1: Tony Clark over there with with the lawyers that they have,
Speaker 1: with the union, with the players, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out. I do know that you know they will.
Speaker 1: They will, they will try and come to a conclusion
Speaker 1: that's good for everybody. That's good for the fans of baseball,
Speaker 1: that's good for the players and the owners. And we're
Speaker 1: just an uncharted territory. So some of the things that
Speaker 1: maybe you know flew in the past maybe won't now.
Speaker 1: And it's just some of the some of the things
Speaker 1: that that the players have to do too to be
Speaker 1: able to go and play. I think they definitely need
Speaker 1: to be evaluated. But I think that that both sides
Speaker 1: will figure it out hopefully. Would you play baseball if
Speaker 1: you were still on a roster you're asking me personally, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: yes I would. I'm just trying to understand, you know,
Speaker 1: the risk with this obviously, the rewards and then you
Speaker 1: hear Blake Snell of the Rays saying, it's not enough
Speaker 1: money for me to come back and play. Can you
Speaker 1: see the haves and the have nots that you know
Speaker 1: are big big ticket item guys not going to come back,
Speaker 1: or you know, the guys who have less money and
Speaker 1: as much to like the league minimum, Like, yeah, can
Speaker 1: you see where one or the other is going to
Speaker 1: say it's not worth me coming back? I can see,
Speaker 1: you know, both side, both point of points of view.
Speaker 1: There's I think one thing with you know, when you
Speaker 1: think about Mike Trout talking about he's about to have
Speaker 1: a kid and and you know what if he's quarantined
Speaker 1: and you know those kind of things that those are
Speaker 1: real things, you know. And obviously you know Dan over
Speaker 1: the years with the money back and forth. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you know both sides are going to fight with
Speaker 1: they for for their rights, which is that's what it
Speaker 1: should be. And I think that's that's fair. But I
Speaker 1: do think, you know, player safety and stuff like that
Speaker 1: with families and all that, you know, definitely comes into account. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think the teams will get together and figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, what's best for the what's best for each team.
Speaker 1: But I do understand the point of view of of
Speaker 1: guys that you know, safety for their families and stuff,
Speaker 1: because no one knows, just no one knows. But I
Speaker 1: do think what they say there's gonna be ten thousand
Speaker 1: tests a week and that and that each each each player,
Speaker 1: you know, and if you do get it, you will
Speaker 1: be quarantined. And so I don't know. You know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to do the best they can with what they ad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're talking about you're not allowed to spit, and
Speaker 1: what happens you're a first baseman? Are you holding somebody
Speaker 1: on first base? And then you can't have social distancing
Speaker 1: at first base? Sean Well, I that's crazy. I was
Speaker 1: just talking to somebody this morning about that, and it
Speaker 1: reminded me of the story. I think I might even
Speaker 1: told it on your show at one point. When you
Speaker 1: know social distancing, So what happens? Does the guy get
Speaker 1: his his his h four five foot lead off? And
Speaker 1: then are you allowed to pick over? And I still remember,
Speaker 1: I remember I was social distancing with Henry Rodriguez my
Speaker 1: first year in the big leagues, when you know, back
Speaker 1: in the day when you know, Oh Henry, when he
Speaker 1: would home in Montreal, I throw those oh Henry bars
Speaker 1: in the field and I remember him getting off first
Speaker 1: and I was like my second week in the big leagues.
Speaker 1: I'm all excited and we're social distancing. He's about six
Speaker 1: feet away and I say to him, Hey, Henry, I
Speaker 1: really love it when they throw those oh Henry bars
Speaker 1: onto the field, and he turned to me and said, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, man, And right when he turned Ron
Speaker 1: balone step over, poop Pip picked over. I caught it
Speaker 1: and I said, oh man, I'm my bad. But I
Speaker 1: had no idea. I had no idea he was gonna
Speaker 1: pick over. I thought we were just social. I thought
Speaker 1: we were just social distancing twenty two years early. And
Speaker 1: it just there's a lot of questions. When they say
Speaker 1: you can't spin, I don't. Can guys do that? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Have you ever been into a big league
Speaker 1: dug out after the game when you looked down, he looks,
Speaker 1: it looks like a murder scene. You're like, happened here.
Speaker 1: There's spit, there's sunflower seed spit. There's freaking spit everywhere.
Speaker 1: Like you gotta be kidde me, like we need DNA
Speaker 1: test to see what just happened here. So I can't
Speaker 1: imagine big leaders could go a whole game not spit.
Speaker 1: Imagine when they say you can't adjust yourself either. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so much, there's so much to unpack here, but
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough one. You adjust yourself twice
Speaker 1: already during this interview here exactly. I'm just sure you're
Speaker 1: in my head about this median comment. I'm an absolute
Speaker 1: mess right now. You got a picture behind you? Is
Speaker 1: that Doc Gooden and Strawberry? And is Mike Tyson? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson, Strawberry and Gooden? How about that? And then
Speaker 1: I got Jim Leaving and my son this year at
Speaker 1: the All at the World Series. But that Tyson, Gooden
Speaker 1: and Strawberry one, that's that's a classic. Wait wait, how
Speaker 1: did you get that? I was at the Bat Awards
Speaker 1: UM Baseball Assistant team in New York a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, and this is an unbelievable story. Dan, we were,
Speaker 1: you know, I go to the Bad Awards. I was
Speaker 1: in town for the network and it turns out there
Speaker 1: was like the snow I can't remember what it's five
Speaker 1: six years ago. There was that humongous snowstorm that hit
Speaker 1: in New York and no one came. No one came
Speaker 1: to the Bad Awards but me and like a couple
Speaker 1: other people, and they had all these unbelieable items and
Speaker 1: I just start bidding on everything. And that was one
Speaker 1: of them. And then the other one was this one.
Speaker 1: How about this one right here, This one right, this
Speaker 1: one right here is unbelievable. Wait can you see it?
Speaker 1: Joe Di Maggio and Marilyn Monroe. Can you guys see that? Yeah? Yeah, Joda, Magico,
Speaker 1: Marilyn Rowe. And it's two signed checks from them. And
Speaker 1: I got that. I got that there too, So I'm
Speaker 1: so grateful. I'm so grateful for that bad event because
Speaker 1: I got some unbelieved items. But Joda, Maggio, Marilyn and
Speaker 1: Rose signed checks are in my house too. Is that
Speaker 1: the best memorabilia you have? I think that the Joda,
Speaker 1: Magico Marilyn Monroe thing might be the best. And I
Speaker 1: remember there was three guys at the event and they
Speaker 1: were all hovered around bidding on it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting this thing. I am getting this. I am
Speaker 1: getting Joe to Magico, Marilyn Monroe in my house. Great
Speaker 1: to talk to you. You must be driving the wife crazy,
Speaker 1: So I'm going I'm driving everybody crazy. I'm driving everybody crazy.
Speaker 1: My fourteen year old daughter, I don't know if you have.
Speaker 1: My teenage daughter is like, all right, you're one of
Speaker 1: the most annoying you alive. Please stop talking to me.
Speaker 1: I have three daughters and they're in their twenties. I've
Speaker 1: been there where you're you're you're the dumbest guy on
Speaker 1: the planet. I'm so dumb it's unbelievable. I'll go and
Speaker 1: talk to her. She's like, oh my gosh, it's so dumb.
Speaker 1: She plays guitar. Dan, So I've been having my guitar out,
Speaker 1: like you know, just whipping a couple of tunes, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, let's play a little Every Rose has
Speaker 1: his thorn sing wrong. She's like, oh, you're such a loser.
Speaker 1: Let me let me hear a little bit. Let me
Speaker 1: hear a little bit. Oh you want to hear? All right?
Speaker 1: This is this is a sea I've never played in
Speaker 1: n Ashley, but I'm terrible MLB network handless. See here
Speaker 1: you go. There you go, Dan, I change the court.
Speaker 1: He Rose has his story. I don't know. I do
Speaker 1: the best I can. I do the best I can.
Speaker 1: Brow Hey, just you know that's why my that's why
Speaker 1: my daughter. That's all I got. Oh I got that.
Speaker 1: Oh it's great to talk to you. All right. We'll
Speaker 1: get some baseball here one of these days. Thank you, Sean.
Speaker 1: Great to check in with you, all right, Dan great
Speaker 1: talking about see you guys soon, Tell you Tell you
Speaker 1: tell your boys. I too, all right. Sean Casey, he's
Speaker 1: in the since the Rents Hall of Fame. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of energy. When we would do
Speaker 1: the studio show in New York and Sean would come
Speaker 1: in and he would leave in a full sweat, a
Speaker 1: full lather. Always had stories. Oh, great sense of humor.
Speaker 1: That he was known as the Mayor. I mean, every
Speaker 1: the players loved Sean crazy. Sean Casey, great teammate. There
Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls here Craig, and Pittsburgh joins us. Hey, Craig,
Speaker 1: would you have for me today? Hey, I'm just calling
Speaker 1: with another idea for a sports documentary like The Last Dance.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see one highlighting the MLB cocaine scandal
Speaker 1: of the eighties that stemmed out of Pittsburgh. I think
Speaker 1: it would be interesting. But you have to get people
Speaker 1: to talk, Craig, and thanks for the phone call. You
Speaker 1: have to get the principles to talk about this. And
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of former players are going
Speaker 1: to be willing to talk about that, because let's say
Speaker 1: you were involved in that. You want that you want
Speaker 1: to move on from that. You don't want that to
Speaker 1: be attached to your name. And there were some marquee
Speaker 1: players who were involved in that, and most of those
Speaker 1: players that moved on without people bringing that up when
Speaker 1: you mentioned their names. Here's a couple of football ones.
Speaker 1: So this on CBS Sports the Cowboys of the nineties
Speaker 1: would be awesome. You got Jimmy and you've got Jerry.
Speaker 1: You got Michael Irvin when Dion came to town. Am it?
Speaker 1: That to me would be awesome just to have that
Speaker 1: Me Jerry friction that was going on there and who
Speaker 1: was getting the credit. I remember Skip Bayliss wrote a
Speaker 1: book about the Cowboys back in the nineties, and then
Speaker 1: Barry Switzer comes in, and then Barry Switzer wins a
Speaker 1: title with Jimmy Johnson's players. You know, they mentioned the
Speaker 1: Patriots modern day Patriots. I don't know what you were
Speaker 1: going to get there. You know, maybe the Brady Garoppolo dynamic,
Speaker 1: but I can't see much there. I think it's we
Speaker 1: look at great teams and then you go, boy, it'd
Speaker 1: be great if they did a documentary. The San Antonio
Speaker 1: Spurs would not be a great documentary. Great team dynasty
Speaker 1: not a great documentary. Steelers of the seventies. Absolutely, you
Speaker 1: got Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw and the friction between
Speaker 1: those two. You had me and Joe green who came
Speaker 1: in and single handedly was turning around a franchise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chuck Noll there, but me and Joe green came in
Speaker 1: and you had the best defensive player in football, and
Speaker 1: you had an attitude a person. When you look back
Speaker 1: on the history of the NFL, I don't think that
Speaker 1: you can overstate me and Joe Greene's importance to the game.
Speaker 1: He nearly quit, he was walking out. He was just
Speaker 1: tired of losing with his Steelers, and he stayed. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they eventually got great draft picks that paid off for
Speaker 1: them and became this dynasty. And I think that was
Speaker 1: the best defense I ever saw. The Raiders would always
Speaker 1: be entertaining. You got Al Davis against the league, that
Speaker 1: would be great. But if I had the Snake Stabler,
Speaker 1: Ted Hendricks, Jack Tatum, Howie Long, Matt Millen, John Matuzac,
Speaker 1: Gene Upsaw, Lester Hayes, Cliff Branch, Mike Haynes, Fred Bullittnikoff,
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. That's a good place to start.
Speaker 1: You know, they won a Super Bowl as a wild
Speaker 1: card team. First team to do that, the Niners in
Speaker 1: the eighties. I don't I guess it would be interesting
Speaker 1: when Steve Young came there. You know, he had Montana
Speaker 1: and Clark, Freddie Solomon, Roger Craig. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you had real characters there. You know, you bring in
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. I would love to know if you were
Speaker 1: able to see Bill Walsh in action, behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: in what his genius was in how he was designing
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense. But you know, George Seaford came
Speaker 1: in and he was not exciting in Montana. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe we would get a better indication of Joe as
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean, he's low key, he's chill. The Packers,
Speaker 1: Packers of the sixties, it feels like we've done that.
Speaker 1: I think NFL Film has done things on the Packers
Speaker 1: of the sixties with Lombardi and all of those Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame players, Paul Horning getting suspended for gambling. That
Speaker 1: that would be interesting. Jimmy and Chicago. Hey Jimmy, welcome back.
Speaker 1: What do you have for me? Hey? Dan, good morning.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you one of the which
Speaker 1: of the major sports are you looking forward to starting
Speaker 1: to getting back to starting again? For me, it's the
Speaker 1: NBA to finish the season. And I've put fantasy basketball
Speaker 1: since like two thousand and three and I've lost every
Speaker 1: year and I want to finish that season and hopefully
Speaker 1: win for the first time. And then I also wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you what, like what experience are you looking
Speaker 1: forward to getting back too as far as like for me,
Speaker 1: it's going to the movie theater, like I missed that
Speaker 1: the most. And for your last guest, your last show,
Speaker 1: you've got to have Jordan. Thanks, all right, well we'll
Speaker 1: work on that, Todd. I just signed a five year
Speaker 1: contract to continue to do this, so you've got about
Speaker 1: four years in nine months. It seems like a reason
Speaker 1: a period of time. I mean for one guest, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just much leeway that that for guests.
Speaker 1: Is I've ever given you? You got no doubt you
Speaker 1: got four and a half years to come up with
Speaker 1: an excuse. No, no, not at all if you don't
Speaker 1: come up with him and then you're fired. Oh I
Speaker 1: didn't know about that little addent to be just added
Speaker 1: but we're going to the show. Would be Overtodd. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. Stay with it a little slow on that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you would be fun. It's already obsessing about trying to
Speaker 1: figure out Now I'm now I ruined you. I love you.
Speaker 1: Would always go, oh, you ruined my weekend, you know
Speaker 1: when you bring up things, and then I would think
Speaker 1: about that all weekend long. That's a holiday. We could
Speaker 1: coming up today and I for three day ruined a
Speaker 1: weekend trying to figure out having to get joined to
Speaker 1: come out. Wait, I thought we were working on Monday.
Speaker 1: Oh I wasn't. Did I my speaking out of school?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Paulie and I were
Speaker 1: planning on coming in on Monday. Wow, I don't know
Speaker 1: about the rest of you. Guys, Nick Lovin, what are
Speaker 1: you doing on Monday? Monday? I nothing. I would have barbecues.
Speaker 1: But this is news to me. Wait, what are you
Speaker 1: guys messing with? Todd? Don't love me? Do the Todd camp?
Speaker 1: Todd Todd Lebron James talks about using football training to
Speaker 1: get ready for an NBA season. We'll hear from Lebron
Speaker 1: when we return here on The Dan Patrick Show, Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon
Speaker 1: eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and
Speaker 1: you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR
Speaker 1: or stream us live every day at YouTube dot com
Speaker 1: slash The Dan Patrick Show. Lebron James was on WRTS
Speaker 1: After Party podcast. I apologize if I don't know what
Speaker 1: those initials stand for? Does anybody know what wr T
Speaker 1: S is? Mclovin, you have any idea? This podcast? Here? No?
Speaker 1: I look it up right now, OK, Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want to be fair to Lebron here and company. Lebron
Speaker 1: was asked about playing football. Now. I played football in
Speaker 1: high school and he had this to say about the
Speaker 1: twenty eleven lockout. Recently, coach Doc Rivers said that he
Speaker 1: believes you could have been potentially the best football player
Speaker 1: to ever play the game. Was football ever even a
Speaker 1: thought for you during that year? You know what? To
Speaker 1: be honest, pr it actually was. I had no idea
Speaker 1: how long the lockout was going to be. And myself
Speaker 1: and my training, my man see is we really started
Speaker 1: started to actually train to be a football player, you know,
Speaker 1: never having the ability to finish my high school career
Speaker 1: of playing that my senior year. I have dreams all
Speaker 1: the time about playing football. Did you get the call
Speaker 1: from Bron saying, hey, I might want to do this.
Speaker 1: I did not, but I know he got a contract
Speaker 1: from Jerry Jones that he framed and putting his office.
Speaker 1: Now that's Maverick Carter, who is Lebron's business partner. Paul
Speaker 1: Rivera was the host. They're asking the question. But Lebron
Speaker 1: training to play football, and when he played in Canton,
Speaker 1: Akron he played high school football and he was the
Speaker 1: same size height wise. Now he wasn't weighing, you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy pounds, but still he was this
Speaker 1: great athlete and living in Cincinnati. You know it's three
Speaker 1: hours away. But you heard about Lebron James. Everybody knew
Speaker 1: about Lebron James. And the first I heard was that
Speaker 1: he was a great football player and all state. What
Speaker 1: is it we run this station? Uninterrupted is the name?
Speaker 1: I interrupted this site that I think is associated with Lebron.
Speaker 1: I think that's his sports website. So it's a podcast
Speaker 1: with that outlet. Okay, all right, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure I gave them credit there, but he was
Speaker 1: preparing to play football. And you know, I've asked this
Speaker 1: question before with football players when I say who would
Speaker 1: have been a good football player who plays basketball? Because
Speaker 1: I said, would Shock be a good football player? And
Speaker 1: it's almost unanimous where people say, no, he wouldn't be
Speaker 1: because your height is a disadvantage when you're that big.
Speaker 1: And if Shack's playing nose tackle. Now, I'd love to
Speaker 1: see Shack play nosed I just love to see him
Speaker 1: in a uniform. If you could get pads and a
Speaker 1: helmet to fit him, that to me would be awesome.
Speaker 1: But if I put Lebron at tight end, that wouldn't
Speaker 1: be fair. Now, I know Michael would have been a
Speaker 1: better football player, Yeah, I probably so he's better than then.
Speaker 1: Lebron did everything. What kind of football player do you
Speaker 1: think Lebron would be? What do you think Michael would be?
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but two sport athletes? Would Lebron
Speaker 1: be better at? Would he be good enough at football? That? Well?
Speaker 1: See Bo Jackson was Bo didn't play long enough. But
Speaker 1: Bo was playing baseball and football at the same time,
Speaker 1: and at Auburn, and bow is a good baseball player.
Speaker 1: He had great power. He didn't have good average, but
Speaker 1: he had great athleticism and you know, obviously a great
Speaker 1: running back, and Dion was a great defensive back. But
Speaker 1: he was a He was a better than average baseball player.
Speaker 1: He had some talent there. But Lebron, if Lebron played football,
Speaker 1: is Lebron gonna be a star? Probably? So if he
Speaker 1: just concentrated to play football, probably so. I remember, I
Speaker 1: think I asked Michael Vick this, I said, how would
Speaker 1: Allen Iverson have been? He said he would have been great,
Speaker 1: because I think Iverson was considered a better football player
Speaker 1: than basketball player when he was coming up Virginia Beach
Speaker 1: and Iverson was a wonderful quarterback. Now you look at
Speaker 1: I mean not he's slight, but you know he would
Speaker 1: have been maybe Michael Vick like, yeah, point. You know.
Speaker 1: Dan Sanders, he was a part time baseball player for
Speaker 1: for nine different seasons. He had a stretch though when
Speaker 1: he turned about twenty four years old. He hit three
Speaker 1: or four two seventy six, two eighty three, two eighty eight,
Speaker 1: two seventy seven. He was an above average baseball player
Speaker 1: as a part time player. I always thought Brian Jordan
Speaker 1: never got enough credit because he played football and he
Speaker 1: was a good baseball player as well for the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 1: I think Saint Louis Cardinals as well. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: look at these two sport athletes and it always feels
Speaker 1: like Jim Thorpe was different. Jackie Robinson to me, is
Speaker 1: the greatest athlete ever because he was not a two
Speaker 1: sports star. He could have been a fourth sports star
Speaker 1: with basketball, baseball, football, and track and field. He did
Speaker 1: all of those when he was in college. But you know,
Speaker 1: Dion with what he was doing where he take the
Speaker 1: helicopter over to the Braves game, man, that was crazy
Speaker 1: times back then. Crazy. Let me see a couple of
Speaker 1: phone calls in here Nate in Texas? Hi, Nate, what
Speaker 1: do you have for me? Hey? Dan five nine one
Speaker 1: seventy five. Right, I would love to see a documentary
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys design. He's like you were saying, you
Speaker 1: could start it with the firing of Tom Landry, then
Speaker 1: bringing in Jimmy and then the herschel Walker trade. You
Speaker 1: have that as well. I mean I would be fascinated
Speaker 1: by that. Love the show. Thank you, Thank you, Nate.
Speaker 1: And once again, I don't know if people have done this.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just speaking off the top of my
Speaker 1: head of documentaries that might be interesting. Anthony and California
Speaker 1: High End Morning, Dan, So, yeah, five seven and I
Speaker 1: think a good football documentary would be the year the
Speaker 1: Raiders traded John Gruden to Tampa Bay and then he
Speaker 1: comes back and haunts them in the super Bowl. Thank you, Anthony. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of different ideas. It's
Speaker 1: can you get the principles to talk about this? That's
Speaker 1: the key because when you get that access, that's when
Speaker 1: you get the magic. If it's somebody else talking about it,
Speaker 1: it's different, it doesn't feel as real. Mike Florio is
Speaker 1: going to join us on loan from Pro Football Talk.
Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up as well. Two hours in
Speaker 1: the Books, One more to go here on The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show.
