WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Pausing the Kevin Durant Drama 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.960 Sports Radio. It's a meat Friday. Oh is it ever? 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.920 Poully wouldn't let me have his meatballs a couple of 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.240 days ago, so I decided I was gonna bring my 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:21.400 own meat balls, smoky meatball palms and onion rings. Who 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:26.040 has it better than we do today? No money, You're welcome. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:33.520 Smoky meat balls, yes, smoky meat ball don't smoky meat 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.760 ball palms, but it should be smoky meat balls palms 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.800 like as well. Whatever. Not a single meat ball in there, 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.720 there's multiple. It's a smoky meat balls palms. I'll have 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.000 a meatball's palm please. Yeah, that sounds had done. Sun 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.400 eat balls palm, onions rings, we don't do that. Onion rings. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.600 Are you gonna eat onion rings? No? They're not. Dang, 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.640 you don't like onion rings either. I don't like onions. Yeah, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.200 but even fried. You gotta kill him, I always say 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.800 to my wife. She goes like, oh, this is gonna 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.600 have some onions. I just said, you got you gotta 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.520 kill him for me. You know, you gotta melt him down, 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.760 slice and I love the smell of onions. I just 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.200 don't like eating them. Same thing with peppers. That's weird, 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.600 all right, Well, welcome to the program. We're already in progress. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.200 Our one had a great conversation with Ross Tucker about 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.759 what it's like when you get cut. He had gotten 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.199 cut four times in the NFL. Any interviews you miss 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.399 Dan Patrick dot com. You can also listen on the 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.960 podcast as well. Our good buddy Nick Wright will join 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.440 us from Fox Sports Versus Things First, and we'll check 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.800 in with the Rams with what happened with Aaron Donald yesterday. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.679 This is what I would do if I'm Sean McVeigh. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.960 Not that he's asking for any advice, but what I 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.080 would do today is I would get Aaron Donald in 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.200 front of a camera and I would have Aaron Donald 0:01:55.360 --> 0:02:00.520 just say I'm sorry. I'm better than this. I want 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:05.280 to apologize to the Bengals, the Bengals fans, the Rams, 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.040 the Rams fans. I let things get out of hand. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.919 I had two helmets in my hands and I'm swinging at, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.680 you know, members of the Cincinnati Bengals, and you know, 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.800 whatever punishment the Rams want to give me, I'll accept 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.040 it and then we move on. Then you can get 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.960 this all out of the way, because the NFL responded 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.600 to us and said clubs are responsible for overseeing conduct 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.320 of players at practice, including joint practices. Put it on 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.280 the Rams. Let them discipline me. So the NFL doesn't 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.840 get involved in this, because I get the feeling the 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.920 NFL is going to say, you guys, take care of this. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.760 Is this is maybe the best player in the NFL. 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.160 Can't have this, can't have this with anybody, certainly not 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.359 Aaron Donald. And the video is, although it's it's kind 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.520 of hard to see who's involved in this, I'm guessing 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.520 that no one got hit or hurt in a serious 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.919 manner or we would have heard about that. Get out 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.520 in front of it, be done with it. And it's 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:14.880 a Friday. Let it kind of drift away over the weekend. Yeah. See, 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.639 what if Aaron Donald isn't sorry? No, no, we are 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.680 going to ask you to be sorry. Yeah, But what 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:28.200 if he's just like, nah, Aaron, we are encouraging you 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.160 to be sorry. I just don't. He doesn't strike me 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.799 as a fellow who's gonna he doesn't fall on the sword, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.440 but he just got paid. Yeah, Like there's a lot 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.440 of you know, feel good about this whole situation with 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.960 the Rams. Everybody got paid, he was just about to retire. Yeah, 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:53.000 a quotes unless he says to Sean McVay coach, this happened, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.520 they said this, whatever it is, that would be the 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.360 only reason why. If I'm the Rams, I say to 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.440 Aaron Donald, Okay, then don't apologize or get in get 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.520 in front of a camera and say, you know what, 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.240 I'd love to apologize if I felt like I was 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.240 in the wrong, and you know, you have to understand 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.640 this happened. Now he might not want to have this 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.760 escalate even further. This puts it to rest. Hey, I'm sorry. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.520 He should be sorry that this happened. That you're grabbing 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.159 helmets and swinging helmets at guys who didn't have helmets on. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:31.040 Imagine if you connect with a helmet. But you gotta 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.960 get out in front of this, just say I'm sorry. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.840 And if he's not sorry, then you got to say 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.919 to him if you're the Rams, no, you have to 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.680 understand the gravity of this. Miles Garrett got six games. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.840 I don't know what he lost. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, Myles 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.520 Garrett lost one point two million dollars in salary by 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.240 missing six games. He has not responded on social media 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.839 or comment on social media yet about this. I have 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.200 to believe Myles Garrett is at least keeping an eye 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.920 on this, and he should because okay, this was a 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:09.880 regular season game, it's still the act, National TV, joint practice, 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.960 the act. He should be punished for the act. Now, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.120 the NFL, you know, will not get involved in this, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.200 according what they told us. The NFL did get involved 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:27.039 with Myles Garrett and the Steelers Mason Rudolph that moment. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.880 But you're watching this, it's troubling when you see it. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.200 There are a lot of things that happen in practice. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.760 They never see the light of day because it's a practice, 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.880 and that could be just a team practicing. This is 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.719 a joint practice. You have the Super Bowl teams going 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.920 against each other. I'm going to guess the offensive line 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.120 that gave up a sack to Aaron Donald on the 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.919 final play. Maybe there's some chirping going on. Maybe there's 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.280 some people who want to go after Aaron Donald a 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.920 little bit. I'm sure somebody has an excuse. But if 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.359 I'm the Rams, get out in front of this, do 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.719 so right now. You know, Friday news dump goes into 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.200 the weekend, and then Monday you start all over again 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.840 start fresh. But that would be my advice, not that 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.840 they need my advice. Eight seven seven three d P 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.680 show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:26.000 handle at dp show I Sliver. Charles Barkley called Kevin 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.479 Durant mister Miserable. I don't know if that nickname will stick. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.760 But Charles talking about the fact that Kevin Durant is 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.599 not a leader, and I don't think he is. I 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.279 don't know if he wants to be. I don't know 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.600 if he knows what a leader is. I mean, he 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.520 plays like a leader, you know, he's one of those 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.120 players that's like, Okay, I'll go out there and I 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.000 can dominate here. It's the other stuff that I would 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.719 love to see from him, And we used to talk 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.520 about that, the importance of leadership. I don't know if 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.919 that matters as I don't know if we expect that 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.520 at or ask of our athletes now to be leaders 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.680 because it's about player empowerment and you know, how are 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.600 you a leader if all you want to do is leave? Hey, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.960 I don't want to be here anymore. But it used 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.920 to be, you know, he's a great leader. We would 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.160 talk about players that that was part of the characteristics 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.360 that you loved about them. Man, that guy that is 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.520 a great leader. I remember somebody who was with the 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.920 Orioles and they would get mad at Cal Ripken because 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.280 he would stay after the game and sign autographs. Therefore 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.040 it was bad. The other players didn't want to stay 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.520 after the game and sign autographs. So you know, they 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.560 were like Cal was signing autographs and I said, well, 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.920 why is that a negative? He said, well, but because 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:50.200 now we have to And I'm thinking, like, what are 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:54.160 we asking of our athletes? Now? What can we ask 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.600 of you? Like, oh, you want me to stay after 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.080 I know you may not want to do that, but 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.920 you go back to you touch on one person's life, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.760 You change one person's life. That person becomes a fan. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.800 Now you're always going to have people who are going 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.600 to sell your autograph or but to change one person, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.080 I mean imagine you have the power to do that 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.640 one person, but you had players who didn't like the fact. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.720 I remember that Cal stayed in another hotel and I 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.920 was like, how's that going over? And people viewed it 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:36.320 as oh, he's more special. So I remember asking Cal 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.640 Ripken he said, why do you stay in a different hotel? 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.720 And he goes. Therefore, all the people are looking for 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.560 autographs come to my hotel, and they don't bother the 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.320 rest of the two. It's a really small thing, but 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.199 if you look at it, you know, from a different perspective, 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.320 you're like, that's pretty cool. I don't know if Kevin 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.080 Durant cares about leading, and I don't know if you 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.679 know he even understand ends it because the leader would say, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.520 I tried to build this, it didn't go well. Now 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.000 I want to go. Now, the guy that I wanted 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.320 as my coach, I don't want him coaching anymore. Kyrie 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.400 wants out. We want out. You know that's a cowardly 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.560 way of saying, I'm not gonna stick around for this. Wait, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.520 you helped build this, it didn't work out. How about 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.960 we rebuild it. How about you know, frame it in 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.760 a different way. So you know, Charles saying he's mister miserable. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.559 I don't know Kevin Durrant, but I don't think he's 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.680 a leader. I don't think Kyrie is a leader. But 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.040 then I don't know if it matters to them about 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.640 being a leader, because that's heavy lifting. Then you have 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.120 to go above and beyond. You have to do something else. Hey, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.320 I'm I'm the face of the franchise. It's incumbent upon 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.360 me to go out there and meet with the media. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.800 I got to take the slings and arrows and players today, 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.959 and I'm generalizing and that's not fair. But it feels 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:06.719 like being a leader is not that important or it's 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.320 a lost art. Yeah, mar but you kind of see 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.200 in the NBA who's winning titles. You kind of see 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.720 their leadership. You kind of see like from well, but 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.040 I don't know how Steph Curry leads. I was gonna say, 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.200 I was gonna say Draymond. Raymond looks like that guy 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.760 who's like he's your leader, Like I hate seeing I 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.880 don't think he's your leader as much as he's your 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.320 spokesperson because he does some things that hurts the team. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.280 Like Yanni's to me is more of a leader because 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.960 that dude is going to outwork everybody. And that's another thing. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.920 I don't think you have to lead by being vocal. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.360 I think you lead by example, and that could be 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.880 how you play. You show up early, you leave late. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.960 You know you're the quarterback, you should show up early, 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.199 you should leave late. Michael Vick didn't do that he 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.920 wasn't a leader in Atlanta. He admits that I want 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.920 my quarterback there. I want him early. I want him 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.280 setting the example. The bigger the star you are, the 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.400 more I want you to say this is how we 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.240 do it. And not many guys are willing to do that. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.720 It feels like and look, I know I'm sounding old 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:24.200 school here, but I don't care. It still matters. Yeah, Paul, 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.560 I wonder the days of the alpha dog leader, best 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.439 player on a team being kind of a jerk can 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.959 happen anymore. You had to be a man's man and 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.640 friend of all the players on the team. If you 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.720 watch the Michael Jordan documentary, it was either kerr or produced, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.280 said Michael Jordan. Led by fear, yea led by fear 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.040 and intimidations. But he also said he would outwork everybody 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.439 as well. Kobe Bryant has told us that he kind 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.600 of kept himself separate and would say things and getting 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.839 people's faces, and he used a terse language which he 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.520 inherited from Michael Jordan. He admitted it, I don't know 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:58.960 if people can do that these days, Like I can't 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.319 imagine Tom Brady. Tom Rady does he does he is 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.720 a kind of old school because he's so old. But 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.839 I want I do you want to win? And how 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.079 badly do you want to win? Like I wanted to hurt? 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.600 It always felt like that. It pained Kobe. It hurt Kobe, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.280 like do you want it as badly as I do? 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.920 And if you don't, then I don't want you round. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.160 And it's not fair, you know, it's it's probably tough 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.160 for some people to see something like that or hear 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.680 something like that. Jordan wanted to win so badly? Did 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.880 he alien eight teammates? Did he have them walk around 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.400 in fear of him? Yes? He did? But his bottom 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.800 line was I want to win. Do you want to 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.559 win as badly as I do? And I don't think 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.120 it's that much to ask somebody to be a leader. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:55.360 Kevin Durant should have said, I wanted out of Golden State. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.960 I want to build my own team, and U you 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.000 know I got Kyrie's here with me, and you know 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.200 we want Steve Nash here. Okay, it didn't work out, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.760 Now make it work out not you know what? I'm 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.560 out of here? Can I go to Phoenix? Please? No? 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.160 Can I go to Miami? Please? No? Can I go 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:25.199 to Boston. No stay if he went there begrudgingly didn't 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.080 want to go to a place he got traded too. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000 I can understand where he'd be frustrated. I get that 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.000 he wanted all of this so be a leader this year, 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.600 be one of the great players of all time. Yeah. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.640 More back in the day, when they say locker room guys, 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.880 is that what they meant by just somebody like a 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:50.160 good veteran leadership. A lot of times the locker room 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.440 guy was not the marquee guy, the star right Like 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.320 you had guys who were really good at sort of saying, hey, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.520 let me take the collective temperature of who we are 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.640 and what's going on. But it wasn't necessarily the star 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.480 player that was the great locker room guy. Ye know. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.800 Po Look at just last week Paul O'Neill the Yankees. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.920 Not the best player on the team, not even in 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.640 the top two or three best players on the team, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.600 but he had the persona of hating to lose, and 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.360 he was part of so many winning teams. He's in 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.560 the Yankees they retired as Jersey. Yeah, and that was 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.080 he was not the best player, but he felt like 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.120 the guy who hated losing. The most college football this weekend. 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:30.240 It's week zero. Yeah, sounds inspiring. I don't even know 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.640 the marquee game. I guess it's Nebraska, Nebraska, Northwestern and 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:41.280 Notre Dame in Notre Dame UH in Dublin. But that's 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.160 that's it's weak Zero's what they're calling. YEA call it 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.480 like the opening week. Yeah, how about opening week? Not 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.840 week zero? I mean, I like the purpose behind it 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.800 and getting some people some national airtime. You know some 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.080 schools that don't normally get it. But I don't know 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:00.280 about week zero. Okay, it's not week one, it's just 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.040 opening week. Yeah, if you want to have play in weekend, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.480 I'm fine. That sounds better than week zero. Yeah. Why 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.120 does everything even need to have a name or a 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.240 number or something attached to it. It's not like dateline 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.520 n BC the guy that kills or somebody. Just let 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.240 them play. There's some college football games starting tomorrow. Why 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.440 everything has to have a little title on Saturday? But yeah, 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.800 but every storm has to have, like you know, there 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.400 has to be drama attached to it. You have to 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.280 have this title and you put it up there and 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:35.240 it's you know, sounds more impressive. The games would still 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.320 go on, whether you called it week zero one or 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.040 anything off. And there's some games starting to week zero 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.640 is week's seaton? What's poll question? An hour or two 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.240 and then we'll take a break. Nick Wright is set 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.800 to join us. Paul actually sent one in earlier today 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.560 and we haven't really gotten around to it, but it's 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.640 very fun. Okay, Um. If I needed a quarterback right now, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.800 I would trade for Jimmy g Gardner Minshew or Jordan 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:04.800 Love Polly. So let's say you were Seattle. Now, they 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.960 obviously are going to try. They got two number one quarterbacks. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.840 According to Pete car they feel like they're gonna stay. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.360 But let's say you're a team like and not just 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.440 because they're a good team or they get talked about. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.040 Let's say you're the Dallas Cowboys, and do they have 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.480 any Dalton is a back of who they're back up? 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.480 Cooper Rush? I think both of those right. Let's say 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.160 you're a team that had a chance to win it 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:25.840 this year and you lost your quarterback in the next 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.720 five or six days. Would you call for Garoppolo who's thirty, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.800 Gardner Minshew's twenty six multi had good performances, or Jordan Love, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.120 who's twenty three and has had a bunch of He's 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.720 getting a lot of reviews. I don't think you're getting 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.960 Jordan Love. There's always a price. Well, I don't want 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:48.000 to overpay for Jordan Love. Gardner Minshew's the guy. I 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.240 think Gardner Minshew can be a starter again in the NFL. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.800 Certainly a high end backup. Gardner Minshuw's a good quarterback. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.880 We get caught up and you know he's what Uncle 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:07.040 Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. He can play. I really believe that, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.000 But I don't know if he's going to get and 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.399 he's a backup to Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia. All right, 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.040 let me take a break, got phone calls coming up. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.840 It's a meat Friday. Nick Wright set to join us. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.600 What could go wrong there? We'll take a break back 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:25.480 after this Dan Patrick's show. Oh it's Discover.

Gardner, Minshew 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.640 or Jordan Love. The results are actually exactly in that order, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.480 fifty eight percent Jimmy G. Yeah. I don't want Jimmy G. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.680 I don't want him at that cause I love Gardner Minshew. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.240 Iki gets a bad rap because people think he's you know, 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.480 there's a gimmick to him. I think he's a good player. 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.960 This family takes turns, turning heads, brains, beauty and athleticism. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.640 All they need now is for you to drive them 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.960 off the line.

First things first, co host, just back 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:03.280 from Italy. There were you recognized in Italy six times? 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.960 Not that I was counting, oh six times, including from 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.240 a great service member who lives over there. A guy 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.919 who was in from Paris in Italy came over and 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.520 said he wants it from Paris. Yeah, Dan, I mean, 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.640 you know, the show's international. The podcast is growing as well. 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.760 You never promote that. You just promote the TV show 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.959 because you don't want more audio competitors. But you can 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.120 also get the podcast What's Right show me and my son. 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.280 But it's good to see you. Your guy Paul Paps 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.800 sent me a very nice note giving me a restaurant 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.920 recommendation when he saw I was in Italy, So shout 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.119 out to Paul. I was unable to reply because I 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.000 didn't have connectivity when it happened, But thank you Paulli. 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.520 It's very kind of him, And thank you to you 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.080 because I paid for the trip by selling that watch. 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.359 Did He was sweet oh no, No, of course I'd 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.439 never do that to you. Dan. I had But do 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.080 you want to know something funny? Then day before Todd 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.080 texts me and asked me to come on, I had 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.680 had a dream that I was hosting this show and 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.639 that lunatic caller, the guy who lives in Texas and 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:11.320 hates Mike Muharthy, Shay and Irving. Yeah, that guy that 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.159 I hosted the show. And I got there and I 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.359 was all excited. I was like, man, I'm hosting for 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.800 Dan Patrick. And then Shaye and Irving was in studio 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:21.960 and he's like, I'm hosting with you. I'm like, you're 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.840 hosting with me. They're like yeah, I had that dream. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:26.520 And then Todd asked me to come on the next day. 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.320 True story. I would promote the podcast if you gave 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.320 us the information to promote the podcast, because when guests 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.080 come on, they send Todd information, Hey, would you promote 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.520 this or I'm doing this. I'm not listen. I'm not 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.720 in the business throwing Todd under the bus. I did 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.760 that once. It costs me. This is a meet Friday 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.520 when the podcast first launched. Okay, I gave him that information. 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.919 Now I have not given it to him every time. Okay, 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.520 but it's fine, Okay, it's fine. I will promote myself. 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.200 What's right, Joe with a new studio starting next week 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:04.320 from my wife's boutique in Harlem. How about that built 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.520 out a little podcast studio there. It's not quite the 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.440 man cave and said, it's in a woman's boutique, but 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.119 still pretty dope. Okay, that's a double promotion that I 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.879 allowed you to have. Thank you. I appreciated the shout 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.760 out to your wife. All right, thank you. Charles Barkley. Yeah, 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:28.119 deemed Kevin Durant, mister miserable. Ah, that's interesting, fair, he 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.480 doesn't seem happy a lot. I don't know if miserable 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.480 is the way I would put it. Do you remember 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.720 a couple of years ago, Adam Silver said that he 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.159 thinks one of the big issues the NBA has is 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:45.359 that it's superstars seemed generally unhappy, and that he was 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.919 concerned about that that mercurial. I don't know if he 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.480 used that word toward I would use. What is odd 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.640 to me is that the two guys who I would 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.439 think of that come to the immediate forefront of that, 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.639 or Katie and Kyrie, and then they can aim together, 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:02.480 and I get you know, I know the phrase is 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.239 misery loves company. I don't know if they're miserable, but 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:10.520 I do think Kyrie doesn't necessarily like the attention that 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.879 comes along with being a pro athlete and hasn't reconciled 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.919 in his brain that with the attention is part and 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.400 parcel with the money. KD, on the other hand, I think, 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.879 is a very unique case in that he operates it 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.960 would appear, and he hates when people psychoanalyze him, so 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:31.200 I apologize, but I will do it anyway. He wants 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:37.400 to be judged purely on a nothing but how good 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:42.080 of a basketball player are used metric, and he feels like, understandably, 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.760 I'm an a triple plus student in that category, one 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.080 of the greatest students ever. So why do I catch 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:52.040 so much grief? And it's because in these shows, and 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.760 in not just on television or radio, but in barbershops everywhere, 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.560 with friends, whatever group chats, we talk about how you 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.760
