Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's a meat Friday. Oh is it ever?
Speaker 1: Poully wouldn't let me have his meatballs a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, so I decided I was gonna bring my
Speaker 1: own meat balls, smoky meatball palms and onion rings. Who
Speaker 1: has it better than we do today? No money, You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Smoky meat balls, yes, smoky meat ball don't smoky meat
Speaker 1: ball palms, but it should be smoky meat balls palms
Speaker 1: like as well. Whatever. Not a single meat ball in there,
Speaker 1: there's multiple. It's a smoky meat balls palms. I'll have
Speaker 1: a meatball's palm please. Yeah, that sounds had done. Sun
Speaker 1: eat balls palm, onions rings, we don't do that. Onion rings.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna eat onion rings? No? They're not. Dang,
Speaker 1: you don't like onion rings either. I don't like onions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but even fried. You gotta kill him, I always say
Speaker 1: to my wife. She goes like, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 1: have some onions. I just said, you got you gotta
Speaker 1: kill him for me. You know, you gotta melt him down,
Speaker 1: slice and I love the smell of onions. I just
Speaker 1: don't like eating them. Same thing with peppers. That's weird,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, welcome to the program. We're already in progress.
Speaker 1: Our one had a great conversation with Ross Tucker about
Speaker 1: what it's like when you get cut. He had gotten
Speaker 1: cut four times in the NFL. Any interviews you miss
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com. You can also listen on the
Speaker 1: podcast as well. Our good buddy Nick Wright will join
Speaker 1: us from Fox Sports Versus Things First, and we'll check
Speaker 1: in with the Rams with what happened with Aaron Donald yesterday.
Speaker 1: This is what I would do if I'm Sean McVeigh.
Speaker 1: Not that he's asking for any advice, but what I
Speaker 1: would do today is I would get Aaron Donald in
Speaker 1: front of a camera and I would have Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: just say I'm sorry. I'm better than this. I want
Speaker 1: to apologize to the Bengals, the Bengals fans, the Rams,
Speaker 1: the Rams fans. I let things get out of hand.
Speaker 1: I had two helmets in my hands and I'm swinging at,
Speaker 1: you know, members of the Cincinnati Bengals, and you know,
Speaker 1: whatever punishment the Rams want to give me, I'll accept
Speaker 1: it and then we move on. Then you can get
Speaker 1: this all out of the way, because the NFL responded
Speaker 1: to us and said clubs are responsible for overseeing conduct
Speaker 1: of players at practice, including joint practices. Put it on
Speaker 1: the Rams. Let them discipline me. So the NFL doesn't
Speaker 1: get involved in this, because I get the feeling the
Speaker 1: NFL is going to say, you guys, take care of this.
Speaker 1: Is this is maybe the best player in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Can't have this, can't have this with anybody, certainly not
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. And the video is, although it's it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard to see who's involved in this, I'm guessing
Speaker 1: that no one got hit or hurt in a serious
Speaker 1: manner or we would have heard about that. Get out
Speaker 1: in front of it, be done with it. And it's
Speaker 1: a Friday. Let it kind of drift away over the weekend. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: what if Aaron Donald isn't sorry? No, no, we are
Speaker 1: going to ask you to be sorry. Yeah, But what
Speaker 1: if he's just like, nah, Aaron, we are encouraging you
Speaker 1: to be sorry. I just don't. He doesn't strike me
Speaker 1: as a fellow who's gonna he doesn't fall on the sword,
Speaker 1: but he just got paid. Yeah, Like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, feel good about this whole situation with
Speaker 1: the Rams. Everybody got paid, he was just about to retire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a quotes unless he says to Sean McVay coach, this happened,
Speaker 1: they said this, whatever it is, that would be the
Speaker 1: only reason why. If I'm the Rams, I say to
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Okay, then don't apologize or get in get
Speaker 1: in front of a camera and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'd love to apologize if I felt like I was
Speaker 1: in the wrong, and you know, you have to understand
Speaker 1: this happened. Now he might not want to have this
Speaker 1: escalate even further. This puts it to rest. Hey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: He should be sorry that this happened. That you're grabbing
Speaker 1: helmets and swinging helmets at guys who didn't have helmets on.
Speaker 1: Imagine if you connect with a helmet. But you gotta
Speaker 1: get out in front of this, just say I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: And if he's not sorry, then you got to say
Speaker 1: to him if you're the Rams, no, you have to
Speaker 1: understand the gravity of this. Miles Garrett got six games.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he lost. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, Myles
Speaker 1: Garrett lost one point two million dollars in salary by
Speaker 1: missing six games. He has not responded on social media
Speaker 1: or comment on social media yet about this. I have
Speaker 1: to believe Myles Garrett is at least keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on this, and he should because okay, this was a
Speaker 1: regular season game, it's still the act, National TV, joint practice,
Speaker 1: the act. He should be punished for the act. Now,
Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, will not get involved in this,
Speaker 1: according what they told us. The NFL did get involved
Speaker 1: with Myles Garrett and the Steelers Mason Rudolph that moment.
Speaker 1: But you're watching this, it's troubling when you see it.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things that happen in practice.
Speaker 1: They never see the light of day because it's a practice,
Speaker 1: and that could be just a team practicing. This is
Speaker 1: a joint practice. You have the Super Bowl teams going
Speaker 1: against each other. I'm going to guess the offensive line
Speaker 1: that gave up a sack to Aaron Donald on the
Speaker 1: final play. Maybe there's some chirping going on. Maybe there's
Speaker 1: some people who want to go after Aaron Donald a
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm sure somebody has an excuse. But if
Speaker 1: I'm the Rams, get out in front of this, do
Speaker 1: so right now. You know, Friday news dump goes into
Speaker 1: the weekend, and then Monday you start all over again
Speaker 1: start fresh. But that would be my advice, not that
Speaker 1: they need my advice. Eight seven seven three d P
Speaker 1: show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 1: handle at dp show I Sliver. Charles Barkley called Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant mister Miserable. I don't know if that nickname will stick.
Speaker 1: But Charles talking about the fact that Kevin Durant is
Speaker 1: not a leader, and I don't think he is. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he wants to be. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he knows what a leader is. I mean, he
Speaker 1: plays like a leader, you know, he's one of those
Speaker 1: players that's like, Okay, I'll go out there and I
Speaker 1: can dominate here. It's the other stuff that I would
Speaker 1: love to see from him, And we used to talk
Speaker 1: about that, the importance of leadership. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that matters as I don't know if we expect that
Speaker 1: at or ask of our athletes now to be leaders
Speaker 1: because it's about player empowerment and you know, how are
Speaker 1: you a leader if all you want to do is leave? Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be here anymore. But it used
Speaker 1: to be, you know, he's a great leader. We would
Speaker 1: talk about players that that was part of the characteristics
Speaker 1: that you loved about them. Man, that guy that is
Speaker 1: a great leader. I remember somebody who was with the
Speaker 1: Orioles and they would get mad at Cal Ripken because
Speaker 1: he would stay after the game and sign autographs. Therefore
Speaker 1: it was bad. The other players didn't want to stay
Speaker 1: after the game and sign autographs. So you know, they
Speaker 1: were like Cal was signing autographs and I said, well,
Speaker 1: why is that a negative? He said, well, but because
Speaker 1: now we have to And I'm thinking, like, what are
Speaker 1: we asking of our athletes? Now? What can we ask
Speaker 1: of you? Like, oh, you want me to stay after
Speaker 1: I know you may not want to do that, but
Speaker 1: you go back to you touch on one person's life,
Speaker 1: You change one person's life. That person becomes a fan.
Speaker 1: Now you're always going to have people who are going
Speaker 1: to sell your autograph or but to change one person,
Speaker 1: I mean imagine you have the power to do that
Speaker 1: one person, but you had players who didn't like the fact.
Speaker 1: I remember that Cal stayed in another hotel and I
Speaker 1: was like, how's that going over? And people viewed it
Speaker 1: as oh, he's more special. So I remember asking Cal
Speaker 1: Ripken he said, why do you stay in a different hotel?
Speaker 1: And he goes. Therefore, all the people are looking for
Speaker 1: autographs come to my hotel, and they don't bother the
Speaker 1: rest of the two. It's a really small thing, but
Speaker 1: if you look at it, you know, from a different perspective,
Speaker 1: you're like, that's pretty cool. I don't know if Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant cares about leading, and I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know he even understand ends it because the leader would say,
Speaker 1: I tried to build this, it didn't go well. Now
Speaker 1: I want to go. Now, the guy that I wanted
Speaker 1: as my coach, I don't want him coaching anymore. Kyrie
Speaker 1: wants out. We want out. You know that's a cowardly
Speaker 1: way of saying, I'm not gonna stick around for this. Wait,
Speaker 1: you helped build this, it didn't work out. How about
Speaker 1: we rebuild it. How about you know, frame it in
Speaker 1: a different way. So you know, Charles saying he's mister miserable.
Speaker 1: I don't know Kevin Durrant, but I don't think he's
Speaker 1: a leader. I don't think Kyrie is a leader. But
Speaker 1: then I don't know if it matters to them about
Speaker 1: being a leader, because that's heavy lifting. Then you have
Speaker 1: to go above and beyond. You have to do something else. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the face of the franchise. It's incumbent upon
Speaker 1: me to go out there and meet with the media.
Speaker 1: I got to take the slings and arrows and players today,
Speaker 1: and I'm generalizing and that's not fair. But it feels
Speaker 1: like being a leader is not that important or it's
Speaker 1: a lost art. Yeah, mar but you kind of see
Speaker 1: in the NBA who's winning titles. You kind of see
Speaker 1: their leadership. You kind of see like from well, but
Speaker 1: I don't know how Steph Curry leads. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Draymond. Raymond looks like that guy
Speaker 1: who's like he's your leader, Like I hate seeing I
Speaker 1: don't think he's your leader as much as he's your
Speaker 1: spokesperson because he does some things that hurts the team.
Speaker 1: Like Yanni's to me is more of a leader because
Speaker 1: that dude is going to outwork everybody. And that's another thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to lead by being vocal.
Speaker 1: I think you lead by example, and that could be
Speaker 1: how you play. You show up early, you leave late.
Speaker 1: You know you're the quarterback, you should show up early,
Speaker 1: you should leave late. Michael Vick didn't do that he
Speaker 1: wasn't a leader in Atlanta. He admits that I want
Speaker 1: my quarterback there. I want him early. I want him
Speaker 1: setting the example. The bigger the star you are, the
Speaker 1: more I want you to say this is how we
Speaker 1: do it. And not many guys are willing to do that.
Speaker 1: It feels like and look, I know I'm sounding old
Speaker 1: school here, but I don't care. It still matters. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I wonder the days of the alpha dog leader, best
Speaker 1: player on a team being kind of a jerk can
Speaker 1: happen anymore. You had to be a man's man and
Speaker 1: friend of all the players on the team. If you
Speaker 1: watch the Michael Jordan documentary, it was either kerr or produced,
Speaker 1: said Michael Jordan. Led by fear, yea led by fear
Speaker 1: and intimidations. But he also said he would outwork everybody
Speaker 1: as well. Kobe Bryant has told us that he kind
Speaker 1: of kept himself separate and would say things and getting
Speaker 1: people's faces, and he used a terse language which he
Speaker 1: inherited from Michael Jordan. He admitted it, I don't know
Speaker 1: if people can do that these days, Like I can't
Speaker 1: imagine Tom Brady. Tom Rady does he does he is
Speaker 1: a kind of old school because he's so old. But
Speaker 1: I want I do you want to win? And how
Speaker 1: badly do you want to win? Like I wanted to hurt?
Speaker 1: It always felt like that. It pained Kobe. It hurt Kobe,
Speaker 1: like do you want it as badly as I do?
Speaker 1: And if you don't, then I don't want you round.
Speaker 1: And it's not fair, you know, it's it's probably tough
Speaker 1: for some people to see something like that or hear
Speaker 1: something like that. Jordan wanted to win so badly? Did
Speaker 1: he alien eight teammates? Did he have them walk around
Speaker 1: in fear of him? Yes? He did? But his bottom
Speaker 1: line was I want to win. Do you want to
Speaker 1: win as badly as I do? And I don't think
Speaker 1: it's that much to ask somebody to be a leader.
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant should have said, I wanted out of Golden State.
Speaker 1: I want to build my own team, and U you
Speaker 1: know I got Kyrie's here with me, and you know
Speaker 1: we want Steve Nash here. Okay, it didn't work out,
Speaker 1: Now make it work out not you know what? I'm
Speaker 1: out of here? Can I go to Phoenix? Please? No?
Speaker 1: Can I go to Miami? Please? No? Can I go
Speaker 1: to Boston. No stay if he went there begrudgingly didn't
Speaker 1: want to go to a place he got traded too.
Speaker 1: I can understand where he'd be frustrated. I get that
Speaker 1: he wanted all of this so be a leader this year,
Speaker 1: be one of the great players of all time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: More back in the day, when they say locker room guys,
Speaker 1: is that what they meant by just somebody like a
Speaker 1: good veteran leadership. A lot of times the locker room
Speaker 1: guy was not the marquee guy, the star right Like
Speaker 1: you had guys who were really good at sort of saying, hey,
Speaker 1: let me take the collective temperature of who we are
Speaker 1: and what's going on. But it wasn't necessarily the star
Speaker 1: player that was the great locker room guy. Ye know.
Speaker 1: Po Look at just last week Paul O'Neill the Yankees.
Speaker 1: Not the best player on the team, not even in
Speaker 1: the top two or three best players on the team,
Speaker 1: but he had the persona of hating to lose, and
Speaker 1: he was part of so many winning teams. He's in
Speaker 1: the Yankees they retired as Jersey. Yeah, and that was
Speaker 1: he was not the best player, but he felt like
Speaker 1: the guy who hated losing. The most college football this weekend.
Speaker 1: It's week zero. Yeah, sounds inspiring. I don't even know
Speaker 1: the marquee game. I guess it's Nebraska, Nebraska, Northwestern and
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Notre Dame UH in Dublin. But that's
Speaker 1: that's it's weak Zero's what they're calling. YEA call it
Speaker 1: like the opening week. Yeah, how about opening week? Not
Speaker 1: week zero? I mean, I like the purpose behind it
Speaker 1: and getting some people some national airtime. You know some
Speaker 1: schools that don't normally get it. But I don't know
Speaker 1: about week zero. Okay, it's not week one, it's just
Speaker 1: opening week. Yeah, if you want to have play in weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. That sounds better than week zero. Yeah. Why
Speaker 1: does everything even need to have a name or a
Speaker 1: number or something attached to it. It's not like dateline
Speaker 1: n BC the guy that kills or somebody. Just let
Speaker 1: them play. There's some college football games starting tomorrow. Why
Speaker 1: everything has to have a little title on Saturday? But yeah,
Speaker 1: but every storm has to have, like you know, there
Speaker 1: has to be drama attached to it. You have to
Speaker 1: have this title and you put it up there and
Speaker 1: it's you know, sounds more impressive. The games would still
Speaker 1: go on, whether you called it week zero one or
Speaker 1: anything off. And there's some games starting to week zero
Speaker 1: is week's seaton? What's poll question? An hour or two
Speaker 1: and then we'll take a break. Nick Wright is set
Speaker 1: to join us. Paul actually sent one in earlier today
Speaker 1: and we haven't really gotten around to it, but it's
Speaker 1: very fun. Okay, Um. If I needed a quarterback right now,
Speaker 1: I would trade for Jimmy g Gardner Minshew or Jordan
Speaker 1: Love Polly. So let's say you were Seattle. Now, they
Speaker 1: obviously are going to try. They got two number one quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: According to Pete car they feel like they're gonna stay.
Speaker 1: But let's say you're a team like and not just
Speaker 1: because they're a good team or they get talked about.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're the Dallas Cowboys, and do they have
Speaker 1: any Dalton is a back of who they're back up?
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush? I think both of those right. Let's say
Speaker 1: you're a team that had a chance to win it
Speaker 1: this year and you lost your quarterback in the next
Speaker 1: five or six days. Would you call for Garoppolo who's thirty,
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew's twenty six multi had good performances, or Jordan Love,
Speaker 1: who's twenty three and has had a bunch of He's
Speaker 1: getting a lot of reviews. I don't think you're getting
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. There's always a price. Well, I don't want
Speaker 1: to overpay for Jordan Love. Gardner Minshew's the guy. I
Speaker 1: think Gardner Minshew can be a starter again in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Certainly a high end backup. Gardner Minshuw's a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: We get caught up and you know he's what Uncle
Speaker 1: Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. He can play. I really believe that,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to get and
Speaker 1: he's a backup to Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia. All right,
Speaker 1: let me take a break, got phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: It's a meat Friday. Nick Wright set to join us.

Speaker 1: or Jordan Love. The results are actually exactly in that order,
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent Jimmy G. Yeah. I don't want Jimmy G.
Speaker 1: I don't want him at that cause I love Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: Iki gets a bad rap because people think he's you know,
Speaker 1: there's a gimmick to him. I think he's a good player.

Speaker 1: He's Nick right. First things first, co host, just back
Speaker 1: from Italy. There were you recognized in Italy six times?
Speaker 1: Not that I was counting, oh six times, including from
Speaker 1: a great service member who lives over there. A guy
Speaker 1: who was in from Paris in Italy came over and
Speaker 1: said he wants it from Paris. Yeah, Dan, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, the show's international. The podcast is growing as well.
Speaker 1: You never promote that. You just promote the TV show
Speaker 1: because you don't want more audio competitors. But you can
Speaker 1: also get the podcast What's Right show me and my son.
Speaker 1: But it's good to see you. Your guy Paul Paps
Speaker 1: sent me a very nice note giving me a restaurant
Speaker 1: recommendation when he saw I was in Italy, So shout
Speaker 1: out to Paul. I was unable to reply because I
Speaker 1: didn't have connectivity when it happened, But thank you Paulli.
Speaker 1: It's very kind of him, And thank you to you
Speaker 1: because I paid for the trip by selling that watch.
Speaker 1: Did He was sweet oh no, No, of course I'd
Speaker 1: never do that to you. Dan. I had But do
Speaker 1: you want to know something funny? Then day before Todd
Speaker 1: texts me and asked me to come on, I had
Speaker 1: had a dream that I was hosting this show and
Speaker 1: that lunatic caller, the guy who lives in Texas and
Speaker 1: hates Mike Muharthy, Shay and Irving. Yeah, that guy that
Speaker 1: I hosted the show. And I got there and I
Speaker 1: was all excited. I was like, man, I'm hosting for
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick. And then Shaye and Irving was in studio
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm hosting with you. I'm like, you're
Speaker 1: hosting with me. They're like yeah, I had that dream.
Speaker 1: And then Todd asked me to come on the next day.
Speaker 1: True story. I would promote the podcast if you gave
Speaker 1: us the information to promote the podcast, because when guests
Speaker 1: come on, they send Todd information, Hey, would you promote
Speaker 1: this or I'm doing this. I'm not listen. I'm not
Speaker 1: in the business throwing Todd under the bus. I did
Speaker 1: that once. It costs me. This is a meet Friday
Speaker 1: when the podcast first launched. Okay, I gave him that information.
Speaker 1: Now I have not given it to him every time. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it's fine, Okay, it's fine. I will promote myself.
Speaker 1: What's right, Joe with a new studio starting next week
Speaker 1: from my wife's boutique in Harlem. How about that built
Speaker 1: out a little podcast studio there. It's not quite the
Speaker 1: man cave and said, it's in a woman's boutique, but
Speaker 1: still pretty dope. Okay, that's a double promotion that I
Speaker 1: allowed you to have. Thank you. I appreciated the shout
Speaker 1: out to your wife. All right, thank you. Charles Barkley. Yeah,
Speaker 1: deemed Kevin Durant, mister miserable. Ah, that's interesting, fair, he
Speaker 1: doesn't seem happy a lot. I don't know if miserable
Speaker 1: is the way I would put it. Do you remember
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Adam Silver said that he
Speaker 1: thinks one of the big issues the NBA has is
Speaker 1: that it's superstars seemed generally unhappy, and that he was
Speaker 1: concerned about that that mercurial. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: used that word toward I would use. What is odd
Speaker 1: to me is that the two guys who I would
Speaker 1: think of that come to the immediate forefront of that,
Speaker 1: or Katie and Kyrie, and then they can aim together,
Speaker 1: and I get you know, I know the phrase is
Speaker 1: misery loves company. I don't know if they're miserable, but
Speaker 1: I do think Kyrie doesn't necessarily like the attention that
Speaker 1: comes along with being a pro athlete and hasn't reconciled
Speaker 1: in his brain that with the attention is part and
Speaker 1: parcel with the money. KD, on the other hand, I think,
Speaker 1: is a very unique case in that he operates it
Speaker 1: would appear, and he hates when people psychoanalyze him, so
Speaker 1: I apologize, but I will do it anyway. He wants
Speaker 1: to be judged purely on a nothing but how good
Speaker 1: of a basketball player are used metric, and he feels like, understandably,
Speaker 1: I'm an a triple plus student in that category, one
Speaker 1: of the greatest students ever. So why do I catch
Speaker 1: so much grief? And it's because in these shows, and
Speaker 1: in not just on television or radio, but in barbershops everywhere,
Speaker 1: with friends, whatever group chats, we talk about how you
Speaker 1: lead a team, what type of teammate you are. We
Speaker 1: have those conversations, and Kadie doesn't seem to think those
Speaker 1: are fair or like those but that's just part of
Speaker 1: how people consume sports. I don't think it's asking too
Speaker 1: much for you to be more than just a great
Speaker 1: basketball player. I don't either. I don't need you to
Speaker 1: be my GM. I don't need you to be my coach.
Speaker 1: But it feels like he wants to be GM and coach.
Speaker 1: But then he kind of picks and chooses where you
Speaker 1: can question him. But it's really I don't know. I
Speaker 1: got disappointed where he built this or was part of,
Speaker 1: you know, the architecture, and then he wanted out when
Speaker 1: it got tough. But now he goes back because he
Speaker 1: has to go back because you know, there's no trade
Speaker 1: market for him. It's a very odd situation that he
Speaker 1: the kids would say, fumbled the bag the way he
Speaker 1: did on this. We are on a decade plus long street.
Speaker 1: The last superstar to demand to be traded and not
Speaker 1: ultimately get his wish was the late Great Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: That was in two thousand and seven. But it's almost
Speaker 1: fifteen straight years of if a guy demands out, even
Speaker 1: how a superstar. Ben Simmons far from a superstar, He
Speaker 1: got his way. He had to wait a couple months,
Speaker 1: but he got his way, and Katie kept like upping
Speaker 1: the anti up to and including demanding the coach and
Speaker 1: GMB fired, and then didn't refute any of those reports.
Speaker 1: Then there was the report that he's contemplating retirement. He
Speaker 1: refuted that one, which I think was a strategic error
Speaker 1: because as it's why, when you go to court, they
Speaker 1: tell you if you're gonna plead the fifth, you got
Speaker 1: to plead the fifth on all of it. If you
Speaker 1: had pick and choose what you're gonna answer, you can
Speaker 1: get you in trouble. By refuting one report, fair or not,
Speaker 1: it served as confirmation for many of the others. Well,
Speaker 1: you didn't refute the report that you demand to be traded.
Speaker 1: You didn't refute the report you wanted the gym and
Speaker 1: head coach fired. And then what my favorite part of
Speaker 1: the end of the Katie saga, which I don't think
Speaker 1: is ended. I think it's paused. I think if things
Speaker 1: go left in Brooklyn, this could come up again, and
Speaker 1: the trade market could heat up again, because everyone loves
Speaker 1: their team in the off season. But all these guys
Speaker 1: are like, I won't trade Brandon Ingram for Kevin Durant. Okay,
Speaker 1: what of the Pelicans get out slow? Maybe you will, um,
Speaker 1: but what I found most delicious about the whole thing
Speaker 1: was the NETS statement that they released was on joint letterhead.
Speaker 1: Katie's boardroom logo was on there too. It's a partners say.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable that they and they a partnership. Up to
Speaker 1: and including the letterhead. It was a NETS the boardroom
Speaker 1: joint statement. I just I hate to bring things back
Speaker 1: to Lebron, but I will for a moment. One of
Speaker 1: the things that has been either good fortune, good luck
Speaker 1: or picking the right people that has helped Lebron immensely
Speaker 1: is the group of people people around him are brilliant
Speaker 1: at their individual fields. People can talk trash on Rich
Speaker 1: Paul how he got started. The results are undeniable. He
Speaker 1: is an effective, excellent agent. Maverick accent of Lebron would
Speaker 1: have tens of millions of dollars and massive success. He's
Speaker 1: a brilliant guy. Those guys being his brain trust as
Speaker 1: opposed with respect Rich Kleman, who I think's a fine guy,
Speaker 1: but I don't think necessarily has the experience those guys do.
Speaker 1: I think he maybe has gotten some bad advice along
Speaker 1: the way. And what do you do if you're Steve Nash,
Speaker 1: you know Kyrie and Kade don't want you there, but
Speaker 1: management has backed you. Ownership is back to you. Are
Speaker 1: you probably know Steve a little bit? Would be my guests,
Speaker 1: were you The people who know him, I don't know him,
Speaker 1: seem to think there was a chance he was gonna
Speaker 1: just resign, to say I don't need this, I don't
Speaker 1: want this, this is not fun. He's rich forever anyway,
Speaker 1: he loves playing tennis, could have great life. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because what is the iconic Steve Nash image of these
Speaker 1: two plus years in Brooklyn. It's after Game five against Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: what I believe Durand's greatest game ever, when he played
Speaker 1: all forty eight, had forty eight nineteen and ten, after
Speaker 1: Kyrie went down Harden, you know, was playing on one leg.
Speaker 1: Katie wilsm to a victory game. I was at actually,
Speaker 1: and Nash is bear hugging him at half court after
Speaker 1: the game, just a full on embrace. And it's kind
Speaker 1: of a funny image because Katie's so much taller than him,
Speaker 1: and Nash looks so appreciative. The one thing Nash had
Speaker 1: going was the relationship, and now that seems torched. Now
Speaker 1: the only saving grace is if Katie went to him
Speaker 1: beforehand and said, listen, man, you know I don't want
Speaker 1: to be here. I'm not blaming you, but the only
Speaker 1: card I have left to play is I'm going to
Speaker 1: demand they fire you. I know they won't. Now I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get traded. It's not personal, it's you know, business.
Speaker 1: But even if he's he went to him with that,
Speaker 1: it's still humiliating. Yes, it's still something that you're not
Speaker 1: you don't want to swallow. And now he's got to.
Speaker 1: Now he's got to do it. It's not like Steve
Speaker 1: Nash can go to the press and say, hey, Katie,
Speaker 1: he he loves me. This was just a negotiating ploy
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we're fine. Yeah, exactly. It's a
Speaker 1: tough spot. We're talking to Nick Wright, first Thing's first
Speaker 1: co host on Fox Sports one and got a huge
Speaker 1: podcast there. He's going to be at a boutique in Harlem.
Speaker 1: His wife's a boutique in Harlem. There a meet and greet,
Speaker 1: a meet and greet. We're gonna do that eventually, Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: not yet. We don't yet have the infrastructure for it,
Speaker 1: but we will eventually. I might stop maybe I'll stop
Speaker 1: down I would love you too. What could be wonderful?
Speaker 1: I it's my turn to buy a meal. Maybe since
Speaker 1: it's my turn, there's a good a hot dog stand
Speaker 1: right down the street. I like a little street meet.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. I'll get off things I wanted
Speaker 1: one twenty five one on one on twenty fifth on
Speaker 1: the train. I just get off there and I just
Speaker 1: walk over. It's exactly right, you'll he blocks away. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is correct. Did you have something you wanted to
Speaker 1: bring up there? Well, there was one sports thing and
Speaker 1: then one personal thing. I don't think we have time
Speaker 1: for both. The sports thing is I there were those
Speaker 1: of us that doubted chet Holmgren's ability as the skinniest
Speaker 1: player since Keith Class. The NBA has seemed to hold up,
Speaker 1: and we raised those concerns. Even those of us didn't
Speaker 1: think it would take literally one possession of guarding Lebron
Speaker 1: James for him to missus season. So here's my question
Speaker 1: for you on check what if you were the thunder
Speaker 1: would be less concerning if he's never cared about gaining weight,
Speaker 1: never been in a weight room, never prioritized it, or if,
Speaker 1: as his coaches and family say, he tries to gain weight.
Speaker 1: He works out all the time. He's a weight room guy,
Speaker 1: and he looks like that because to me, it'd be
Speaker 1: less concerning if it was apathy. It appears its inabilities.
Speaker 1: Body won't take it, and that makes me incredibly concerned.
Speaker 1: In today's NBA, skinny doesn't bother me. What about skinny ist?
Speaker 1: Skinny ist? But still it's in today's NBA. If it
Speaker 1: was you know, a previous generation or you know, fifteen
Speaker 1: years ago, men were men? Yeah, yeah, yeah, when when when?
Speaker 1: When scores were you know in the eighties, you know,
Speaker 1: like that great basketball was on display, nothing like a
Speaker 1: Calv's Knicks game with no nothing like it man Nick's
Speaker 1: heat back when you know, our friend JVG was holding
Speaker 1: onto Alonzo mornings play like a Randall at the end
Speaker 1: of a seventy one sixty eight No Fighter. All right, Okay,
Speaker 1: personal stories, Okay, Because Dan Orlovsky came on your show,
Speaker 1: yes and told an anecdote about how his entire empire
Speaker 1: was built on fraud. Yes, I think that's the short version. Yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: And in spirit of that, I'm going to tell a
Speaker 1: story publicly that I've never told. The most embarrassing moment
Speaker 1: of my athletic life because I think you will enjoy
Speaker 1: it out of attestament to our friendship and how much
Speaker 1: I appreciate this and the fact that I didn't know
Speaker 1: you had an athletic life. That Okay, okay, look you
Speaker 1: guys saw me change that tire with my shirt off.
Speaker 1: There was no there was no question about that. Once
Speaker 1: upon a time, I was an athlete. So in high
Speaker 1: school I played two sports, basketball and track. Loved basketball
Speaker 1: was mediocre at it. Didn't love track that much of
Speaker 1: what was good at it State final of the four
Speaker 1: by eight hundred relay. I'm the anchor Lake on that
Speaker 1: team is Quentin Lucas, who's now the mayor of Kansas City,
Speaker 1: the mayor of my hometown. I get the baton. We're
Speaker 1: in about third place. I run the first lap. We're
Speaker 1: still in third. I'm about a quarter of the way
Speaker 1: through a second lap and I'm passed. I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 1: We're gonna fall off the little podium. Then I'm passed
Speaker 1: again and I'm like, now we're in fifth and I
Speaker 1: and it like I'm running out of gas and Dan
Speaker 1: I faked a hamstring injury. I started. I ran in
Speaker 1: the last I ran in the last one hundred holding
Speaker 1: on to my left hamstring. So I had a built
Speaker 1: in excuse for costing my team a metal that happened. Oh,
Speaker 1: I feel such relief getting that off my chest. Did
Speaker 1: you have a family member come out of the stands
Speaker 1: to help you? Just like I limped and I got there.
Speaker 1: But the thing was I didn't I thought the metal
Speaker 1: stand was just top three, the metal stand for the
Speaker 1: state finals. Top eight you get a ribbon or something,
Speaker 1: and I would have easily still finished top eight, but
Speaker 1: I faked the injury, and so we finished second to last.
Speaker 1: Paul called the mayor of Kansas City to get a
Speaker 1: comment on this email in Yeah, oh god. The other
Speaker 1: two people on the relay team is my dear friend
Speaker 1: Quinners now the mayor, my best friend in high school,
Speaker 1: Jason Backstrom, and my girlfriend's brother, Eric Black. I let
Speaker 1: him all down. I let him all down, Dan, dude,
Speaker 1: they are they finding out about this now? Yes? Oh,
Speaker 1: my god. Who was the olympian whose dad came out
Speaker 1: of the stands. Oh, that was a great moment. That
Speaker 1: was a great moment. Yeah, I can see it. I
Speaker 1: don't know who it was that would have been happened
Speaker 1: that would have been great if a family member came
Speaker 1: out to help you cross the finish line baked to
Speaker 1: hampstring injury and then didn't know how long I had
Speaker 1: to keep up the lie, Like when I go back
Speaker 1: to school next week, do I have to like, yes,
Speaker 1: you still got a limb? Yes, Paul. That was that
Speaker 1: ninety two Olympics in Barcelona, Derek Redman tore his hands,
Speaker 1: I mean the furs. His dad came out and helped
Speaker 1: him across the fish line. Yeah, get him on see
Speaker 1: if he did the same thing. He's calling you a
Speaker 1: phony fraud then okay? Final thirty seconds. Kadi ben Kyrie
Speaker 1: Lebron a d Russ? Which trio plays more games together
Speaker 1: this year? Oh, Katie ben Kyrie because Lebron Adi Russ
Speaker 1: will play zero. That trades happens happen. Russ is going where.
Speaker 1: I don't know where he ends up. I do think
Speaker 1: that everything's swirling around the Pacers is accurate. I think
Speaker 1: the Lakers are going to end up with Buddy Healed
Speaker 1: and maybe Miles Turner. Russ maybe ends up there, or
Speaker 1: it's a three teamer and he ends up in Utah
Speaker 1: or San Antonio. I would love to get buddy healed
Speaker 1: in Miles Turner, you find the Lakers like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: like this, like this, I don't. I don't like Patrick Beverley.
Speaker 1: But that's either here nor there. It happens. I think
Speaker 1: they did that as like a little final salvo to Russ, like,
Speaker 1: how about we trade? If you still want to be
Speaker 1: about that? Wait, you still want to be here? D
Speaker 1: what can we do to get rid of Russ? How
Speaker 1: about we bringing Patrick Beverley? Well, I can't play anymore.
Speaker 1: Bring him in him, make Rusco pick him up at
Speaker 1: the airport. Can you imagine the disgust in Russ's face
Speaker 1: if at some point in the tight game he were
Speaker 1: to get subbed out Patrick Beverley. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's sustainable. Dan, I don't thank you. Nick nets

Speaker 1: what happened yesterday. If the joint practice with the Bengals
Speaker 1: and the Rams Aaron Donald, we'll face no action from
Speaker 1: the NFL for his behavior and the joint practice with
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but only because the NFL has no jurisdiction
Speaker 1: over joined practices, at least according to Mike Florio. Once again,
Speaker 1: I'm going to read what we got from the NFL
Speaker 1: this morning. Clubs are responsible for overseeing conduct of players
Speaker 1: at practice, including joint practices. Well, I have to believe
Speaker 1: the NFL behind the scenes is saying to the Rams,
Speaker 1: you handle this wink wink. If you don't, then we
Speaker 1: have to. We'd rather that you did. Florio goes on
Speaker 1: to say Donald won't be suspended or otherwise punished if
Speaker 1: it means that the only people who can punish him
Speaker 1: is the Rams. He goes on to say, if he
Speaker 1: were a lesser player, the Rams would likely do something.
Speaker 1: If he were a player on the bubble, he'd likely
Speaker 1: be cut. But it's Aaron Donald examples. They're made of
Speaker 1: the scrubs. Excuses are made for the stars, and there
Speaker 1: are fewer bigger stars currently in the NFL than Aaron Donald.
Speaker 1: I would disagree with Florio. Myles Garrett, that was a
Speaker 1: big deal. Now, that was primetime game Thursday night, in
Speaker 1: definite suspension, But the NFL came in and it wasn't
Speaker 1: on the Now why is it. It's a joint practice,
Speaker 1: so it's the team, but it's not the team if
Speaker 1: it's a regular season game. The league should have the
Speaker 1: ability to impose punishment for conduct at joint practices. It's
Speaker 1: strange that the league doesn't have such authority, and it's
Speaker 1: something the league should change immediately. This according to Mike
Speaker 1: Florio Pro Football Talk. But the NFL did get involved
Speaker 1: because it wasn't the Browns who suspended Myles Garrett, it
Speaker 1: was the NFL. We'll check in with Rams coming up.
Speaker 1: Let's see what do we have. Kennon Ohio leads this off. Hi, Ken,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey? I was looking at this situation.
Speaker 1: There's several reports out there as to what actually happened.
Speaker 1: It happened with two different small fights between Lyo College
Speaker 1: and a linebacker before it is moral for it all.
Speaker 1: The third melee sold the Super Bowl hangover. I don't
Speaker 1: think that comes into play because Collins was not on
Speaker 1: the team last year. There may be some underlying issues
Speaker 1: between Collins and the linebacker from previous years, but basically,
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald got into a situation that didn't have anything
Speaker 1: to do with him, so he put his nose in
Speaker 1: something that he shouldn't have. Well, I think that there'll
Speaker 1: be more information that comes out of this, but I
Speaker 1: would still get in front of this if I'm the
Speaker 1: RAMS and Aaron Donald address it. Move on, let it
Speaker 1: die over the weekend, and you start fresh on Monday.
Speaker 1: Let's see what else do we have here. Connor in Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: Hi Connor, what's on your mind today? Hey? First time
Speaker 1: long time five nine one sixty. Hey, Dan, I'm getting
Speaker 1: married this Saturday, so I guess let's call Holy cats.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you have any tips for the
Speaker 1: big day, and then I've got a pile of face.
Speaker 1: But someone's interested. Were you surprised by this? It's just
Speaker 1: been a very fast couple of months, very busy. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think the weddings would are you? Okay? You sound
Speaker 1: a little shaky here. I'm just I can't believe I
Speaker 1: got in the air. Dan, I'm not going to you.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So you're not nervous with the wedding. You
Speaker 1: were nervous just getting on the air. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: pretty big deal. You know, how old are you, Connor,
Speaker 1: I'm twenty three. Okay. Here, here's a tip. If you
Speaker 1: give a speech tomorrow for the nuptials, don't say this
Speaker 1: is the second greatest day of my life, right after
Speaker 1: yesterday when I appeared on the Dan Patrick Show for
Speaker 1: the first time. I was true, that's true. So that's
Speaker 1: probably good advice. I'm not gonna lie. Okay. How long
Speaker 1: did you go out with your fiance? Uh? We're gonna
Speaker 1: four and a half years now, a little over four
Speaker 1: and a half years. All right, I like that, honeymoon.
Speaker 1: Where are you going. We're taking a road trip to
Speaker 1: the western half the United States. We're gonna see you
Speaker 1: a lot of national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand
Speaker 1: Canyon two times. And then I end up in Vegas
Speaker 1: and then I like that. I like that. Um My
Speaker 1: advice is it's going to go buy so quickly, so
Speaker 1: just take snapshots in your mind of moments that you're
Speaker 1: going to have. Because when I got married the reception,
Speaker 1: everything just flew by. In fact, I remember opening up
Speaker 1: two beers. I didn't even finish either one of the
Speaker 1: beers at the reception, and for me, that's a big deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: remember to smile when you're walking down the aisle because
Speaker 1: everybody's going to take gajillion pictures and you don't want
Speaker 1: to be seen not smiling in them. Okay, I know
Speaker 1: that one from experience. Okay, Oh, I was thinking this, man,
Speaker 1: I hate having my picture taken. I think I'm like
Speaker 1: squinting in every single to make sure you smile. That's
Speaker 1: very important. Connor, it didn't dawn on me until now.
Speaker 1: When I watched you walk down the owne, It's like,
Speaker 1: is he happy? You were sweaty. It's hot. Yeah it was,
Speaker 1: and so was the bride. Final hour coming up, check
Speaker 1: in with the rams. One more item as we close
Speaker 1: out hour or two. What a rough year, rough couple
