So we'll talk to Florio about that 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.480 coming up. Phone calls are welcome. Is we do every 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.600 Monday best and Worst of the Weekend, which is song 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.440 that you like you didn't like. We'll give you our 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.720 best and Worst of the weekend each seven seven three 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.760 d P Show Email adresstp at dan Patrick dot Com, Twitter, 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.040 hand to a DP show, Say good morning to our 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.400 radio and TV partners. One month until the franchise players 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.520 can sign that long term deal. So deadline to sign 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.960 franchise players to long term deals his one month from today. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.360 We spend a lot of time, too much time talking 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.560 about Dak Prescott. There's some other players, Aj green Yannick 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:02.440 and Gockway, Chris Jones Kill, Barrett Justin Simmons, and you 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.360 have Dak Prescott in there as well. And we haven't 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.839 heard too much from the Cowboys haven't heard much Jerry 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.360 Jones on a variety of things. But the Dak Prescott deal, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.320 something gets done. The question is is it short term? 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.360 Is it long term? Is it a four year deals? 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.640 Five year deal, three year deal? But Dak Prescott will 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.040 get paid and then once it gets paid, we'll move 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:28.440 on to Deshaun Watson and then we'll have Patrick Mahomes 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.240 as well. But we'll talk to Florio about that. With 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.399 one month to play with before these franchise players have 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.759 to be can be signed to these long term deals 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.240 one month from today. A couple other things. You had 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.880 golf over the weekend and it was live. It was 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.360 interesting and I know you may not know Daniel Berger 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:55.520 or Colin Morikawa, but the Charles Schwab Challenge was fun. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.720 Extra playoff hole there. PGA towards CBS pulled off the broadcast, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.160 fight the limitations there. Jim Nance did Yeoman's work there 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.400 basically doing the entire broadcast and I don't know if 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.480 you know this is going to hold up our interest, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.520 but right now there was live sports and being able 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.240 to watch it. It was a win for the PGA 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.000 Tour and certainly for Daniel Berger. And as long as 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.480 everyone emerges healthy. It's going to be a victory for 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.000 everybody who hoping for sports to come back. It's kind 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.400 of tricky now because you have certain states saying, hey, 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.160 we're open for business or we're going to have fans. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.079 The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says he expects Texas 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.960 college football games to have at least fifty percent attendance. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.440 Texas reopened amid the COVID nineteen pandemic, and the governor 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.639 says that sports stadiums would be allowed to operate at 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.400 twenty five percent of capacity. He revised that to fifty 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.360 percent just a week later, giving rise to hopes that 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.920 Texas would be given the green light to pull ten 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:05.040 eventually filled stadiums to capacity this fall. The governor's message 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.120 to the athletic directors was clear. According to a person 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.080 with knowledge of the call, it would take either a 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.079 vaccine or drastic drop in cases for capacity to increase 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.560 beyond fifty percent, and that schools should not count on 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.880 either development by the time the football season starts. There 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.240 was a headline that was attached to Ohio State because 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.800 Ohio State's going to make its football players sign a 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.520 waiver when they come back. I talked to a source 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.360 last night and said that it's not just Ohio State. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.760 They're going to be other schools that will follow suit 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.920 with this. I don't know how binding it is, legally 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.400 binding it is, but I think this might be just, 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.520 you know, the team's saying, you need to be responsible 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.040 for yourself so you can be responsible to your teammates. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.120 But I saw where Ohio State had the headline attached 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.080 to it, and then on a little further investigation, I 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.720 was told last night other schools are going to follow 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.640 as well. Talked a little bit about the McGuire Sosa documentary, 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.480 and I think if this was last year at this time, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.360 we'd probably go, oh, that was pretty good. Oh that's interesting. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.840 Oh now I realize how big that story was. But 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.600 right now, after the Jordan documentary, even the Lance Armstrong documentary, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.160 it sort of fell flat because you're going, okay, kind 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.920 of lacked a little meat. There wasn't any video that 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.919 we hadn't seen before. Even sitting down with McGuire and Sosa, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.039 you know, they weren't forthcoming with anything other than what 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.160 was happening in the moment with the home run chase. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.240 And maybe that's what they were told maybe that's what 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.880 they said they would agree to. Hey, I'll do it, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.479 but I'm not going to make this a steroid fest. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.039 And Sammy has never acknowledged anything. McGuire at least had 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.120 to sit down with Bob Costas, and you know, he 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.520 came forward and said, you know that he had done steroids. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.960 I would love to know, and we'll never get this, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.080 at least probably not in my life time where you 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.400 would have an athlete. I would love for Lance Armstrong 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.320 to say I did this on this day, this amount, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.279 this is what I did, this is how it helped. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.080 I injected, somebody injected me. I would just want to 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.880 know what is the difference before and afternoon. I did 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:24.040 talk to somebody who use steroids playing baseball, and I said, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.880 what is the feeling like of when you cycle on 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.720 and cycle off? And he's no longer in the game, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.640 but he talked about how you just get this recovery, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.760 feel like you can just continue to work out, you 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:44.080 can continue to play, You're not fatigued, and you obviously 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.520 see that there is more power there, there's more size there. 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.640 But I wondered, what's that like when you inject or 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.480 however you use it, you know, as an immediate and 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.080 he said, no, it's not immediate, but you have this 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.200 ability to be able to play or lift weights, and 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.680 then you know the recuperative powers. He said that that's 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.080 the amazing part of it. And he said, you guys 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.640 would get caught up in you know, the hitters using steroids. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.159 Pitchers would use steroids so they were able to recover 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.320 and be able to pitch the next day if they 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.320 were a long reliever starters, you know, the recovery part 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.760 of this. But yeah, I was just curious about that. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.720 But we weren't going to hear that last night with 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.000 McGuire and Sosa. I didn't expect it. I just saw 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.599 sort of the social media backlash, like, went a minute, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.240 you spend five minutes on steroids here. Well, I think 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.320 basically what that thirty for thirty was is let's just 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.440 open up the scrap book and take a stroll down 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.440 memory lane, because there was nothing salacious in there. But 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.200 this is where America was at the time in nineteen 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:52.159 ninety eight, and you juxtapose that to Jordan in his 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.159 last year nineteen ninety eight. In fact, yesterday was the 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.880 twenty second anniversary of that shot that last game in 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.359 Salt Lake that was going on. You had all of 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.040 this unrest with the Bulls. They were falling apart. They 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.640 win the title, they're they're going to disband. And you 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.720 had Sosa and McGuire who were on national news when 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.840 they homered. It was national news. When they got to 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.760 sixty home runs, it was a big, big deal. And Jordan, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.120 I mean it was a wonderful time. You had Cal 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.720 Ripken with his consecutive game streak, which is not exciting, 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.760 but it was impressive and celebrated like it was. It 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.240 was only like he showed up for work, like you 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.840 can't go, hey, honey, come up. Ripkins shown up for work. 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.720 Hold on, I'll be there in a second. Now, he's 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:45.240 got to get to five five innings and uh, you know, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.360 the only interesting part of that was when he passed 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.280 Luke Aric then it became interesting. But you know, shown 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.080 up for work and going, you know, one for four. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.040 But the Jordan, you know, documentary and then McGuire and 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.760 I just thought it was sort of flat. It was 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.239 good for people who hadn't seen that because the Jordan 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:08.520 documentary gave an entire generation, well even more so than 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.800 us and we were right there, you know, front and center, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.080 and I learned some things from that that I did 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.480 not know or saw things that I did not see, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.280 certainly the Pippin part of that, you know, the Jerry 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.920 Krause role, and you know, you sort of I remember 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.120 at the time and I was talking to doctor Jack Ramsey, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.800 God rest his soul, the Hall of Fame coach, and 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.640 we were talking off camera because he was the analyst 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:40.600 for Sports Center, and I said, Jack, the Bulls will 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.120 not disband, and he was with me. I'd like at 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.520 the time, I knew that there was acrimony, but you 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.400 just kept thinking, well, you can't let this happen. You 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.040 got Phil and Jordan, and then you realize Phil didn't 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.600 want to continue to do it, and Michael wasn't going 0:08:58.600 --> 0:08:59.880 to do it if Phil didn't want to do it. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.760 And then you know, Scottie wanted to be paid, and 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.640 could you trust Rodman to you know, stay on course here, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.320 and you got Ron Harper a little long in the tooth. 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.160 You did have cou Cook like you started to think 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.439 about these things. In the moment, I was wide eyed 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.040 and naive, I'm going they have to keep this together. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.000 I was the same. I had the same approach to 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.760 McGuire and Sosa, wide eyed, naive, and I wanted to 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.760 believe what I was seeing, or I didn't want to 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.240 believe what I wasn't seeing, if that makes sense. And 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.200 you know when people bring up, oh, why do you 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.360 focus on steroids? I missed. I missed. It was right 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.080 in front of me. I missed it. And I always 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.720 felt that it was I was doing a disservice to 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.880 the audience if I didn't know or didn't explore. I 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.560 was afraid to explore. And I was around McGuire a 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.800 lot that year, and even at the award shows at 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.079 the SPS, I was around McGuire a lot, and even socially. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.559 But I said this last hour, and I truly believe. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.120 I think he got into something and then he didn't 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.480 know how to get out of it. Because you know, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.600 baseball players have cheated, guys have used steroids, but nobody, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.200 you know, the national spotlight like the CBS Evening News 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.200 or ABC or Good Morning America. These shows were focused 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.680 on this, and I think McGuire all of a sudden, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.480 this became so big. Now everybody's looking at you, and 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.760 once they start, they build you up, they tear you down. Yeah. Yeah. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.559 One of the things that they did show last night, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.480 and again it's just a quick thing when they're talking 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.679 about steroids and andro and stuff like that, and they 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.920 had they showed some interviews with fans, you know, just 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.000 quick snippets, and people would say, I don't care. They're 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.600 not testing for it, so it's not illegal. You know that. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.320 That is one thing that I think, in hindsight, it's 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.600 tough to recapture that sort of mindset and understanding how 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.640 people felt that, Well, they're not testing for it, so 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.280 it's not illegal, So what's the problem. Yep. And I 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.440 got that whenever I'd bring up Bonds or he never 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.199 tested positive, or Roger Clemmons he never tested positive. Well, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:11.120 they weren't testing in two thousand and three. But look, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.320 I know, we go down this road and it's it's 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.200 if Baseball, the Hall of Fame wants to put these 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.640 guys in, put him in, all right, it's a museum, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.920 Yeah that tell the story of baseball. Put him in, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720 Pete Rose, tell the story of baseball. Put him in. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.480 He has benefited far more by not being in the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.240 Hall of Fame. If Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.280 Nobody cares. Bonds and Clemmons will care for a little while, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.360 and then this might be something that you know is 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.120 brought up occasionally. Oh with the Veterans Committee. Put him in. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.000 You want to put him in, Put him in. You know, 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.360 Sammy Sosa hit over sixty home runs four times. He's 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.320 not getting in the Hall of Fame. McGuire hit just 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.520 under six hundred home runs, right, he's not getting in 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.200 the Hall of Fame. You want to put him in. 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.040 It's a music put him in. But Baseball Hall of 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.280 Fame works with Major League Baseball. They're separate, and the 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.320 Baseball Hall of Fame could put Pete Rose on the 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.640 ballot they wanted to. But I would rather just tell 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.280 the history and back then with McGuire and Sosa, even 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.000 though Sammy's never come clean on anything with this, McGuire has. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.839 But you want to put him in the whole fame, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.280 go ahead, tell the story of baseball. Put him in. Yeah, point, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.120 I've always thought that, and it showed a little bit 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.160 last night the documentary Ken Griffey Junior is one of 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.080 the biggest beneficiaries of the steroid era because he didn't 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.480 hit sixty home runs in two thousand and two thousand 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.760 and one, that's when he kind of cooled off with injuries. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.319 His best year is Ken Griffey Jr. Ninety seven, fifty six, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.800 ninety eight, fifty eight or fifty sixty eight, and then 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.640 the injuries and he kind of, and this may sound naive, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.640 gets left off. The people who we think may have 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.560 done steroids list and we blame his injuries on whatever 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.360 his injuries were. But he's never talked about he's never 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.400 lumped in and because there's never been any proof or 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.480 an alliga, but because he got hurt, he didn't hit 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.640 fifty home runs for the next five seasons. Yeah, the 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:10.120 problem is if Bonds doesn't hit seventy three, if he 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.760 hit sixty three, we're not as suspicious, Believe it or not. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.960 Sometimes you get so big, so good, and then you 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:25.040 don't realize how you look. And you know, whenever you 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.400 cheat on a test. If I was going to look 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.480 at Greg Sliger's paper in chemistry, I had to make 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.880 sure I didn't get a better grade than Greg Sliger. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.240 I needed an eighty two while he got a ninety seven. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:44.000 Nobody was suspicious. But when you go, hey, I got 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.320 a ninety seven two and I sat right next to 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.520 the smartest guy in the room. That's not smart. So 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.080 Bonds was too good at this. And I think McGuire 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.200 got too good at this. Sammy got too good at this. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.520 It's like, if Brady Anderson doesn't hit fifty home runs, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.640 nobody's suspicious. If Brady Anderson hits forty two home runs, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:09.319 we go okay, all right, man, he had a pretty 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.000 good year. You hit fifty. Now all of a sudden, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.080 people go, wait what because he didn't come close to 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.040 that after that. You can't get too good at this. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.000 Yeah it Bonds His seventy three home run season was 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.240 two thousand and one. Now that as impressive as it is. 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.120 Three years later, Bonds hit three sixty two is bad. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.280 Airmerates three sixty two. He hit forty five home runs, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.160 which sounds like it's not that much. But he was 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:37.440 intentionally walked two hundred and thirty two times, most by 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.640 far in baseball hit and that's intentionally walked, not walked right, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.560 intentionally walked. Yeah, And so that means he removed two 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.920 hundred and thirty two chances based on his odds per 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.800 home run. He's looking at eighty five home runs if 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.880 he was intentionally walked at a normal rate, Yeah, McClellan. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.720 Did they intentionally walk him with the bases loaded, yeah, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.320 Buck Buck Showalter did it. And Showalter won the game, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.680 and we had him on and he stood by it. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.600 He's like, hey, I'll do it again. You just don't 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.880 realize how good Bonds was. His eye, his ability to 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.680 the I mean, he had such a great eye and 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.960 his ability to hit that ball deep. You know, when 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.200 when it came into the strike zone, he could wait 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.120 for a very last second. I don't know if we've 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.080 ever had anybody who had that. I know people talk 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.360 about Ted Williams very bonds to me with his eye. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.800 And then you added the power to that, and he 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.600 had that really compact swing and it looked like that 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.040 bat was of thirty three inch or something. He would 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.040 choke up on it a little bit. Man. That was 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.440 that was powerful, powerful great. During the Bulls playoff run 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.840 in nineteen ninety eight, the last eight times in which 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.040 Sosa played a game on the same day as the 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.080 Bulls played a playoff game, Sammy hit a total of 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:02.480 seven home runs the conference finals. In the finals, it 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.080 was a you're talking about a great time to be 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.680 in a city. You had Jordan ending with the Bulls 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.960 and then you had the Cup. Now the Cubs weren't good, 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.840 but Sammy was Musty TV. He really was pretty incredible. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.200 Most home runs in a season in baseball history. Players 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:27.040 not connected with Peeds. This is a John Clark from NBC. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.080 He's a Philly guy, by the way, Just so to 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.480 give you a hint of where this list came from. Okay, 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:37.120 Roger Marris, Babe Ruth, Babe, Ruth, Jim Carlos, Stanton, Ryan Howard, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.520 Jimmy Fox, and Hank Greenberg. Right, how do we know 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:47.160 anybody after Jimmy Fox didn't? I mean, I don't know. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.640 Griffey had fifty six twice. I don't know if Stanton, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.960 like I'm if he is, I wouldn't be surprised if 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.720 he's not. Well, good for you, Ryan Howard, I don't know, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.359 nobody does us. But you're like, yeah, that guy's gotta 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.359 be on when you see some of that guy's gotta 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.159 be on steroids. I've seen guys. I know a former 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:15.800 player on steroids and he was thinner than me. I 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.199 don't even know if he weighed two hundred pounds and 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.440 he had a couple of big seasons. Yeah. See. Someone 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.320 on Twitter just asked if nineteen ninety eight is the 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:31.960 best year in sports ever? Um, what else would be 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:38.280 in what happened football wise in nineteen ninety eight Broncos Broncos, Falkins. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.040 Which year do you count the Super Bowl year or 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:48.760 the season? Um? Well, I don't know. Which was Randy 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.040 Moss's rookie year? That was awesome? I've seen recalled? Is 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.920 that when they went fifteen and one? I think so? 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.880 In the Gary Anderson Missus Chick, we have to check that. Yeah, yes, boy. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.600 In twenty sixteen, you had Villanova winning the title with 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.280 a last second shot with a Jenkins right, Yeah, comes 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.520 down three one to win the World Series. Yeah, you 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.560 had the Cleveland Cavaliers down beat Golden State to win 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.080 the NBA titled lebron It's pretty good. There's a few 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.520 more there. Yeah, we'd have to do some research there. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.880 The best year in sports at least modern era. Let 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.200 me take a break. Mike Florio was set to join 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.600 us and a few things. Talk to him about this 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.840 initiative to have the NFL re examine the Washington Redskins 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.200 nickname Also, these players have a month signing that franchise tag, 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.439 including Dak Prescott. So we'll talk a little football with 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.240 Mike Hill. Join is coming up next. It's twenty after 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.600 the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show.

He's the founder 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.960 of Pro Football Talk. He's on Pro Football Talk Live 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.120 co host with Chris Simms. His latest article, Drew Rosenhouse 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:37.960 Colin Kaepernick should get signed? Is Colin Kaepernick represented by 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.680 Drew Rosenhouse. His football rides. Mike no No Jeff Nally 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.440 represents Colin Kaepernick and has for several years now, but Rosenhouse, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.920 a prominent agent, spoke to NBC News and shared that opinion. 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.560 And I feel like this time around, more people are 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.200 speaking openly about what the NFL needs to do as 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.720 it relates to Colin Kaepernick, and I think we're just 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.600 waiting to see if one of the the thirty two 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.760 teams will do something, bring him in for a workout, 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.520 negotiate with him on a contract, and maybe add him 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.800 to the roster. Now that the mood seems to be 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.200 a lot different than it was when the blackballing began 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.600 three and a half years ago, do we know if 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.679 Kaepernick wants to play, if he is going to be 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.760 a backup quarterback. Definitely wants to play, Definitely willing to 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.159 be a backup. I think it's going to be a 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:26.160 challenge to work out the right contract because from one perspective, 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.040 you could say, Dan he should just take whatever he 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.439 can get, even if it's the minimum salary. From the 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.240 other perspective, and I think this is part of the 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.919 notion that the pendulum is swinging the other way. You 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.720 put Kaepernick's name and number on an NFL jersey of 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.240 one of the thirty two teams. That jersey probably becomes 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:48.160 the highest selling jersey immediately coast to coast. That team 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.960 develops a national following. Immediately. You know, teams do the 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.280 hard Knock Show because they want to have a national 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.239 following and it never happens. This is a way if 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.640 you're looking for a national platform, this is the way 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.119 to do it. So there is value in having him 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.600 on the team from a business standpoint, whereas four years 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:07.680 ago people were afraid to have him on the team 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.960 from a business standpoint. And also, he's going to help 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.720 your team get better. We've looked a lot of the 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.719 depth charts and I start with the Houston Texas. Who 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.919 fits better as the backup to Deshaun Watson given his 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.760 skill set? AJ McCarron or Colin Kaepernick. It's that simple. 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.480 It's a no brainer. It's Kaepernick, not McCarron. I thought 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.760 Kansas City would be a soft landing spot with Andy Reid. 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.680 You know, you got the most secure player in football 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.919 in Patrick Mahomes, and I thought, you know, they just 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.960 won the Super Bowl. You could bring in Colin Kaepernick, 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.680 and Mahomes would welcome that because some of these quarterbacks. 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.199 I wonder if Russell Wilson welcomed Colin Kaepernick. I just 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.360 don't know what to make of that Pete Carroll story, Mike, 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.439 because why would a coach call Pete Carroll or somebody 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.480 in the front off Pete Carroll didn't spend much time 0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:00.240 with Colin Kaepernick. I'd be calling Jim Harbaugh or Rag 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.920 Roman before I'd be calling Pete Carroll. Explain that to me. Well, 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.240 and Jim Harbaught has said publicly on the record, who's 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.200 on PFT Live and said this a few years ago. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.000 Colin Kaepernick will help you win championships with an s, 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.919 not one, but multiple. But he is a guy that 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.640 people should be talking to. And the whole Seahawks thing 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:23.400 is weird to me. They didn't sign him because they 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.439 regard him as a starter. Well, why did you bring 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.080 him in for a visit then if you were looking 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.719 for a backup when you regard him as a starter. 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:32.920 He never had to work out with the Seahawks. They 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.840 view him as a starter. I having back in twenty seventeen, 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.600 they had deeper issues on that team. They had guys 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.840
