Speaker 3: details coming up. Also the Rematch, that's what it's being called.
Speaker 3: It's the Rematch. It's pickleball, and it was hotly contested
Speaker 3: in New Orleans. Fritzy emerged as the Rafina Doll of
Speaker 3: the group, but the Danetz did ask for a rematch,
Speaker 3: Marvin decided that he will play left handed, his normal hand.
Speaker 3: He played right handed for some reason which you still
Speaker 3: haven't come up with a good reason. Were you just
Speaker 3: giving the other guys a chance and you played right
Speaker 3: handed instead of your dominant left handed.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to say the quiet part out loud.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3: Gino oriem, a freshly minted head coach of the national
Speaker 3: champion Yukon women's team, will join us in an hour
Speaker 3: from now. Dan Hurley, the Yukon men's basketball coach. Technically

Speaker 3: Tire rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3: As we always do every Monday, best and Worst of
Speaker 3: the weekend. What you saw that you liked and you
Speaker 3: didn't like. And for most of the season, Duke was
Speaker 3: dominating college basketball, and they had talent, they had depth,
Speaker 3: great coaching. They get into the Final Four against a
Speaker 3: battle tested Houston team and you had raw talent meeting
Speaker 3: its match, and it certainly showed. Duke was up by
Speaker 3: fourteen in the second half, under nine minutes to go,
Speaker 3: seemingly in control. And as I've said many times on
Speaker 3: this show, freshmen can act like freshmen, I don't care
Speaker 3: how talent you are, and they acted like freshman late
Speaker 3: in that game. Now, Houston didn't flinch.
Speaker 2: That was the key.
Speaker 3: Calvin Samson did a wonderful job of telling his team
Speaker 3: we're only down by.
Speaker 2: We're only down by.
Speaker 3: Even though it's double digits to Duke and the best
Speaker 3: player in college basketball. So you have an experienced team,
Speaker 3: well coached, and when they had the moment when it
Speaker 3: called for composure. They delivered. Duke did not. But we've
Speaker 3: seen this before many times. You get that moment and
Speaker 3: this is where you step up and you make a
Speaker 3: big play. I thought Duke was nonchalant at times, even
Speaker 3: trying to get the ball in. Cooper Flag had a
Speaker 3: moment and his moment passed. But Houston played great, and
Speaker 3: I think there's moments where you go, this could get
Speaker 3: out of hand, and it certainly looked like it was
Speaker 3: going to get out of hand. Kelvin Samson didn't allow
Speaker 3: his team to let it get out of hand, to
Speaker 3: get in bare. And then with Florida and Auburn, I
Speaker 3: thought Auburn was going to win the game. I thought
Speaker 3: Houston was going to keep close, and I thought that
Speaker 3: they would. I would take the points with Houston. They
Speaker 3: end up upsetting them. But Walter Clayton's junior the third
Speaker 3: has made himself some money. Imagine you're the guy, everybody
Speaker 3: knows you're the guy, and you still go steph curry
Speaker 3: on people. And that's what's remarkable. And these are contested shots.
Speaker 3: These aren't just hey, somebody drive and dish it's I
Speaker 3: got the ball. I'm going to I'm going to do
Speaker 3: the driving and I'm going to take the big shot.
Speaker 3: And that's what was impressive. This is this is quite
Speaker 3: a run, quite a run for one player. And look,
Speaker 3: I haven't been sold on Florida. They could win the
Speaker 3: national title, but I am sold on Walter Clayton. He
Speaker 3: is a whole lot of fun and he's probably making
Speaker 3: making himself into a lottery pick now. And I think
Speaker 3: when the tournament began there was talk maybe at the
Speaker 3: end of the first round, but what I've seen so far,
Speaker 3: and I don't want to get caught up too much,
Speaker 3: and you've done this in a couple of games in
Speaker 3: the tournament, but I do want to get caught up
Speaker 3: in the fact that you're doing it in the tournament
Speaker 3: because you're doing it with high pressure. These are big games,
Speaker 3: big moments, and that's what's fun to see when you're
Speaker 3: watching somebody. He was at IONA. Nobody knew that he
Speaker 3: was at IONA except for the Florida coaching staff that said,
Speaker 3: you know what, that guy right there could be pretty good.
Speaker 3: So he was there, Rick Patino. And you're seeing a
Speaker 3: lot of these teams that have you know, juniors and seniors,
Speaker 3: you know, transfer players, this is college basketball, and you've
Speaker 3: seen that Houston has experience. Florida has experience as well.
Speaker 3: All right, poll question for the first hour of the program,
Speaker 3: seating is going to be what, well, why don't we.
Speaker 5: Start off with a positive? Who had the best week? Okay, well, Alexandrovichkin, he.
Speaker 2: Did pretty well.
Speaker 5: Decent, that's not bad, Yeah, all time, great weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Calvin Sampson, Yep, that's pretty nice.
Speaker 2: Yeap. Yeah, that's a hell of a dub to get.
Speaker 5: I think maybe we combined Page Beckers in Gino Oriama.
Speaker 4: They had a great weekend.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah.
Speaker 3: The fact they went nine years without winning a championship
Speaker 3: is like when Tom Brady went i think nine years
Speaker 3: without winning a Super Bowl. We've just gotten to that
Speaker 3: point where you go, wow, it's been that long. When
Speaker 3: Holly Rowe interviewed Gina Oriema after the game, She's like,
Speaker 3: you know, last time we were here, it's twenty sixteen
Speaker 3: and they've had their moments. But I mean, give credit,
Speaker 3: Paige Beckers. You have a couple of serious injuries to
Speaker 3: come back. All the greatness, all the greatness you had
Speaker 3: at Yukon, they all win championships and I'm glad that
Speaker 3: she was able to put that on her resume because
Speaker 3: she deserves that.
Speaker 2: She was Caitlin Clark before.
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark's a really good team and Don Staley knew that,
Speaker 3: knew that early, and I think that's why she was
Speaker 3: trying to fire up her team and then she realized, Hey,
Speaker 3: we got beat by a really, really good team. And
Speaker 3: I always wonder about this. When you win a national championship,
Speaker 3: your Gino Oriema, what is that? Twelve titles? Now? Are
Speaker 3: you going to stay? And he probably looks at the
Speaker 3: roster and he goes, yoh, why when I leave? I mean,
Speaker 3: I got I got a star freshman, my best shooter,
Speaker 3: Fudg's going to come back Like I'm okay, I'm seventy one.
Speaker 2: What else am I going to do?
Speaker 3: You know, if I had a team like that, like Gino,
Speaker 3: then I would probably come back. It's just I just
Speaker 3: don't have, you know, a team that I can count
Speaker 3: on the way he can hypothetically. Yeah, yeah, I talk
Speaker 3: about specific people pathetically. Now, you know, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 3: with staying. You like it, you enjoy it. Can you
Speaker 3: get fired up again?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 3: And usually you get the energy from your new wave
Speaker 3: of players, and uh you know when he said we
Speaker 3: used a scrimmage in the beginning of the season, I
Speaker 3: didn't think we'd make the tournament. And then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden they had a run that was similar to
Speaker 3: the Yukon men's in how they blew people out in
Speaker 3: the tournament. That's a really really good team and a
Speaker 3: deep team, and they had far more, you know, far
Speaker 3: more talent than South Carolina and Don Staley has done
Speaker 3: a wonderful job there. I just didn't think she had
Speaker 3: a great player. I think she had a really good team,
Speaker 3: she just didn't have a great player. Uh So who
Speaker 3: had the best weekend Seaton? Is that we're looking at
Speaker 3: Yukon with Paige and Gino and we're looking at Ovechkin.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: Who else do we want to put on?
Speaker 5: Certainly Calvin Sampson that's a great win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Walter Clayton junior the third had another great win. Yeah, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: he did anybody else a little bit.
Speaker 5: Of like a did Duke collapse or did Houston take it?
Speaker 2: Houston collapsed? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think there has to be something has to happen
Speaker 3: for something to happen, so there has to be action
Speaker 3: for reaction they have to open the door for a
Speaker 3: collapse where they don't get rebounds, they don't make field goals,
Speaker 3: they can't get the ball inbounds, they commit a foul,
Speaker 3: they allow you know, a putback. That's all they allowed.
Speaker 3: They did all those things. Now Houston played a role
Speaker 3: in that. But still you're Duke, You're not getting rebounds.
Speaker 3: What in the final three minutes, you don't have field goals,
Speaker 3: not making free throws. I put that on Duke. That's
Speaker 3: a collapse. Absolutely, yes, Tom, I couldn't help.
Speaker 7: But wonder what was going through coach K's mind as
Speaker 7: he's sitting there watching this unfold over the last minute
Speaker 7: and a half two minutes and you know, second guessing
Speaker 7: in his own mind. He wouldn't necessarily call out coach
Speaker 7: Shyre and have a discussion after the game.
Speaker 4: But gott to wonder what that foot bubble would be.
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, yeah, probably pretty tough to sit there and
Speaker 3: you can do nothing. Yeah you're just watching. But you know,
Speaker 3: we think Duke is going to go to the championship game.
Speaker 3: They should go to the championship game. But Houston hit
Speaker 3: big shots. Duke had to allow them the opportunity to
Speaker 3: make those moments, big shots. What else do we have
Speaker 3: as far as the pole question today? And we'll get
Speaker 3: to Ovechkin passing Gretz game. How about Vlad Guerrero Junior
Speaker 3: the third he gets five hundred million from Toronto. Seaton
Speaker 3: brought up a great point about his dad by how
Speaker 3: did you.
Speaker 2: Frad Guerrero Junior's dad?
Speaker 4: Not my dad?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right? How did you phrase it about Vlad
Speaker 2: Guerrero Senior?
Speaker 5: He was like, I just remember him as being one
Speaker 5: of the greatest sluggers of this generation.
Speaker 2: To never happen. He had a he had a window there.
Speaker 5: Where you were like, dude, this dude is about to
Speaker 5: go off. Yeah, and then any minute now, this dude
Speaker 5: is just about to take over, and man, what the
Speaker 5: heck happened?
Speaker 3: I thought he was the guy. Nine time All Star,
Speaker 3: one of the best bad ball hitters. Always had the
Speaker 3: pine tar on the front of his batting helmets.
Speaker 5: Batting helmet looked like it had been in a fire
Speaker 5: something that's just completely torn up.
Speaker 2: But he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3: It just it always felt like, God, he should have
Speaker 3: been even greater, which isn't fair because he had one
Speaker 3: of the best arms in baseball, bad ball hitter, But
Speaker 3: I don't know did he win.
Speaker 2: A championship anywhere?
Speaker 3: I kind of played sort of in obscurity a little bit,
Speaker 3: But man, was he talented? Five hundred million? How old
Speaker 3: is Vlad Guerrero Junior? Because they gave him a fourteen year,
Speaker 3: five hundred million dollar deal, he is, uh.
Speaker 9: Twenty six years old?
Speaker 3: Okay, Look, I'm sure that they have their accountants and
Speaker 3: they do the math. But I just like, for the
Speaker 3: life of me, could never get if somebody a contract
Speaker 3: like that fourteen years, what could go wrong? Or if
Speaker 3: it's ten years, You're like, no, no, five years? Okay, yes, poem.
Speaker 10: Would you like to play the Vlad Guerrero Senior Vlad
Speaker 10: Guerrero Junior career salary game?
Speaker 11: Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 9: Had this ready for years?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 9: Salary salary, salary.
Speaker 12: Salary, salary, salary, salary salary.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 10: Vlad Guerrero Senior playing fifteen seasons. His best paycheck was
Speaker 10: oh nine with the La Angels of Anaheim redond It
Speaker 10: fifteen million dollars. His career salary was one hundred and
Speaker 10: twenty five million dollars. The old man did rile well.
Speaker 10: Vlad Guerrero Junior. Well, I'll let you guys. Guys, he's
Speaker 10: made seventy five million so far, what will his career
Speaker 10: salary be?
Speaker 2: Probably five hundred and seventy five to make sure you could.
Speaker 9: Get that at seventy five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, five hundred plus seventy five fires.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he is on pace to make five hundred and
Speaker 10: eighty million dollars in his career five times.
Speaker 9: What is old Manning?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, yeah, yes, Mark, pretty good, Thank you, ma,
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 5: Not bad if you can get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I thought that they were going to be all
Speaker 3: in on Otani. Remember when we had Steve Phillips, the
Speaker 3: former Mets GM and he came on and he was like, Hey,
Speaker 3: Toronto's in this for Otani, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: Toronto wasn't in for you know, Otani. It's like Aaron
Speaker 3: Judge with the San Francisco Giants. It's like, hey, giants
Speaker 3: got a great shot at him, and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden they didn't have a great shot at him.
Speaker 7: Yes, Todd, if you're concerned about Vlad Junior's age, he
Speaker 7: just turned twenty six, so he's a young twenty six.
Speaker 4: Twenty six three weeks ago. Oh okay, he's on the
Speaker 4: young end of that.
Speaker 3: Now I feel better about the next fourteen years.
Speaker 9: Oh God.
Speaker 3: Since Steles became an official stat in nineteen eighty six,
Speaker 3: NCAA Tournament teams are three hundred and thirty five and
Speaker 3: one in games that they beat their opponents in field
Speaker 3: goal percentage, free throw attempts, assist, turnovers, fewer than your opponent,
Speaker 3: and steals the lone loss.
Speaker 2: Duke on Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Stat of the day, stat of the day, that beast
Speaker 3: stat of the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 4: Here comes that what stat of the.
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Panini America, the official Trading cards
Speaker 3: of the DP show. If you don't like Duke, you
Speaker 3: had a great Saturday because that was one of those
Speaker 3: where and this isn't a team that you know that
Speaker 3: you dislike. I mean, they're a good team to watch,
Speaker 3: their fun team to watch, but you were rooting against
Speaker 3: the brand. That brand is pretty powerful, and I think
Speaker 3: that's probably what stood out, and you're like, oh, God,
Speaker 3: Duke again. Wait, Houston's come, Wait, Houston's come. Holy, Duke's
Speaker 3: gonna lose this game. That's as I'm watching it. You're
Speaker 3: watching almost as in slow motion where I'm going.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Wait, and then all of a sudden there'd be a three,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, can't get the ball in.
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden there's a foul on flag
Speaker 3: And yes, I I'm okay with the call, because let's
Speaker 3: say it was the other way and Duke got the call.
Speaker 3: What would we say, Oh, yeah, they want Duke to win.
Speaker 3: So you can't say that the officials were calling and
Speaker 3: making the call and what they saw. Is it tough
Speaker 3: to make that call. Yes, but they did make a
Speaker 3: tough call and it went against Duke. All right, Well,
Speaker 3: take a break. Phone calls will get your best and
Speaker 3: worst of the weekend. Top of the hour, Gino Orima
Speaker 3: and then Dan Hurley in the final hour of the program.

Speaker 3: If you're watching on Peacock, you've got a chance to
Speaker 3: see It's a promo leading up to the rematch at Lambeau.
Speaker 3: Todd Fritz the star of the original back in New
Speaker 3: Orleans during the Super Bowl, and that was front row,
Speaker 3: back row. Now I think we're switching it up. It's
Speaker 3: Fritzy and Paulie versus Seaton and Marvin Todd clearly was
Speaker 3: the best pickleball player, followed by Seton and then Marvin Paulie.
Speaker 3: But Marv, look, you played right handed, which I didn't
Speaker 3: understand since you're left handed. But maybe you were doing that.
Speaker 3: Maybe you're trying to psych out your opponent. I don't
Speaker 3: know what your game plan was, but it didn't work.
Speaker 3: It's like my game Yeah, is that what it was?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Congratulations. Alex Ovechkin had a chance to break the record
Speaker 3: the previous game, but he knew it was going to
Speaker 3: be with an empty net and he didn't want to
Speaker 3: do that. He said, no, I want to do it
Speaker 3: with a goalie in the crease. Now that's a lot
Speaker 3: of confidence because we're running out of games here at
Speaker 3: the end of the regular season. You got Gretzky there
Speaker 3: in the stands, who wants to get back to his
Speaker 3: life where it's like, uh, is he good?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: I'll come back again. And Wayne handled it beautifully, is like,
Speaker 3: would you see a great ambassador to the game and Ovechkin.
Speaker 3: I have a hat from March of nineteen ninety four
Speaker 3: that says eight oh two. That's when Wayne broke the
Speaker 3: all time goal record eight oh two, and of course
Speaker 3: he tacked on a few more.
Speaker 2: But I have a hat that I.
Speaker 3: Received in Toronto when I went to Gretzky's restaurant there,
Speaker 3: and I thought, I'll keep the hat and nobody's ever
Speaker 3: going to break this.
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, I need a new hat.
Speaker 3: Alex Ovechkin, but to do what he's done for as
Speaker 3: long as he's done it. We've seen Lebron break the
Speaker 3: all time scoring record and then here's Ovechkin with the
Speaker 3: all time goals scoring record. Are there any other records
Speaker 3: in any other sports that are going to be broken?
Speaker 3: Tiger's not going to catch Jack Nicholas due to health.
Speaker 3: Is there any other sport where you go there's a
Speaker 3: record hanging in the balance here, or is somebody on
Speaker 3: the verge of breaking an all time record over the
Speaker 3: next couple of years. Eight seven seven three DP show
Speaker 3: email address d P D pete is DP at Danpatrick
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 2: That's it, that's the one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, Pully, I was watching the postgame interviews and
Speaker 6: Gretzky's in the locker room and Ovechkin's got his shirt off,
Speaker 6: and they're standing there, and.
Speaker 9: I couldn't tell who was older.
Speaker 10: Like if you just put up a shot of those two,
Speaker 10: I think Ovechkin's thirty nine and Gretzky's sixty four, but
Speaker 10: they look there about the same age.
Speaker 3: Well, well, Wayne has a little uh shade on his
Speaker 3: hair that helps him, and Ovechkin looks like he's older
Speaker 3: than he's thirty nine. One of them looks like they've
Speaker 3: done a lot of hard living. Yes, that's true, and
Speaker 3: it's not wayne third time in CAA tournament history that
Speaker 3: both semi final winners overcame a halftime deficit to win
Speaker 3: in the first time since nineteen ninety two with Duke
Speaker 3: and Michigan. Uh So, we have our poll question and
Speaker 3: we'll get a phone call. Well, Paul, and Iowa leads
Speaker 3: us off. Good morning, Paul. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, Well, I have.
Speaker 11: Two best of the weekend. Just as a college basketball fan,
Speaker 11: you know, America wins when Duke loses, as a Big
Speaker 11: Twelve fan myself. It was great to see Houston make
Speaker 11: that comeback represent the Big Twelve in the championship. It's
Speaker 11: gonna be a great game tonight. My other best of
Speaker 11: the weekend here in Iowa, Hawkeyes and Cyclones both know
Speaker 11: that the Corn leans to the West because Nebraska sucks.
Speaker 11: Nebraska won the Crown this weekend before they've ever won
Speaker 11: an NCAA tournament game.
Speaker 2: Congrass Yay, Nebraska won the Crown.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the Crown, but it's not because I'm
Speaker 3: an elitist. I text Marvin last night and I said, hey,
Speaker 3: turn on ESPNU. It was the Orlando Magic G League
Speaker 3: team against the Celtic G Lead team, and I thought, well,
Speaker 3: Marvin's the only guy who's going to appreciate that I'm
Speaker 3: watching the G League and I don't know if you
Speaker 3: appreciated it, but I was enjoying it last night.
Speaker 16: I live a full life like you do. So I
Speaker 16: was like, Oh, I'm look at Mac mcclunk. He was
Speaker 16: going off. I can also see why he's not in
Speaker 16: the NBA.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he can shoot. I know he
Speaker 3: can get to the hoop at any point, but he doesn't.
Speaker 3: He's not a dunker. He's not an in game dunker.
Speaker 3: But he might have had forty last time. I don't
Speaker 3: even know if that game was live, Marvin, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say it was Okay.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I was like, oh, what's this? Oh?
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden I saw Mac McClung.
Speaker 3: And then the Main Celtics. They have a kid out
Speaker 3: of Alabama, JD. Davidson, who is the league MVP. And
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, all right, I'm gonna watch this for a
Speaker 3: little while.
Speaker 16: I was watching too, and my wife goes, what do
Speaker 16: you watch Celtics met Maine. I was like, it's the
Speaker 16: Main Celtics. Yeah, it's the G League playoffs. It just
Speaker 16: means more.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then it was the Oceola Magic. Of course, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay with us for a little while. Seawan
Speaker 3: and Oregon. Hi, Sean, WIT's on your mind today?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 17: I got the best and worst? Dan, Thanks for taking
Speaker 17: my call.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 18: The best I think was that between that Houston and
Speaker 18: uh well, the Houston game there with Duke. You know,
Speaker 18: they they were nine for twenty nine the first half
Speaker 18: that shooting in that game and they still won the game,
Speaker 18: and they were they won that game with that ship
Speaker 18: or sheer great determination. And then you know that the
Speaker 18: end of that game, you know, Duke went over like
Speaker 18: ten minutes. They only scored like two points in that game.
Speaker 2: Brother, Oh, I know, thank you Sean for recapping that.
Speaker 11: We watched.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait tell me more. Wait what happened? Sheer determination?
Speaker 3: It's like I'm watching the golf. Brian Harmon won the
Speaker 3: Valero Open and he was gritty and gutty, like they
Speaker 3: talked about because he's not a big guy. He doesn't
Speaker 3: hit it far, but he won it on grit, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean we were he looked like he had a
Speaker 3: boatload of talent, but he was gritty. He was gritty
Speaker 3: out there and gutty. Uh Tim in Ohio? Hi Tim,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Hey dad?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 19: The quick end of the day. If if you call
Speaker 19: Goldie House golds w h A, he would be the
Speaker 19: all timel in goal.
Speaker 2: He would have.
Speaker 19: Got it your n or nals, you would have each
Speaker 19: the nine fourteen.
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's Ovechkin next season. But thank you, Tim.
Speaker 3: We don't include the USFL stance. We finally included the
Speaker 3: ABA stats, didn't we combine those NBA ABA stats.
Speaker 4: Marvin, No, I don't think we did.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 2: I thought with doctor J.
Speaker 4: Doctor J would be like the third lead score if
Speaker 4: you combine.
Speaker 3: I thought that they combined scoring. For some reason. I
Speaker 3: thought that, yeah, Pullie.
Speaker 10: I have of right now. They've discussed it, but they
Speaker 10: do not honor or recognize the NBA ABA stats. They've
Speaker 10: discussed it, but I don't see any progress on them.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll get to work on that. I'll see if
Speaker 3: I can talk to some people.
Speaker 9: They put them on their website.
Speaker 15: The NBA.
Speaker 10: They put ABA stats on the website, but it's still
Speaker 10: separate and not inclusionary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had, well, we included the AFL with the NFL.
Speaker 2: Didn't we AFL stants NFL stats.
Speaker 4: I would think we would maybe post merger, h because.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Well, yeah, it'd have to be post
Speaker 3: merger because the NFL wasn't recognized in the AFL.
Speaker 16: I got to see how many points doctor J would
Speaker 16: have because he scored a ton in the ABA, so
Speaker 16: let me double check.
Speaker 3: I thought that they put his stats because he wasn't
Speaker 3: in the NBA, you know, for a long period of time,
Speaker 3: where for some reason I thought that he had like
Speaker 3: twenty nine thousand or something when you combine him. Yes, Tun,
Speaker 3: I'm seeing the.
Speaker 7: NFL incorporated stats from the AFL into its official record
Speaker 7: after the league's merged in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 3: The ok the thing I don't understand about the NFL.
Speaker 3: The NFL is as buttoned up documented as any other sport.
Speaker 3: They keep stats of everything. You have NFL films that
Speaker 3: documented all of this. Why can't they go back and
Speaker 3: tell me the exact total for sacks? Because it's like
Speaker 3: block shots with the NBA. I mean, we think it's
Speaker 3: a big deal. If you blocked three shots in a game,
Speaker 3: that would be a quarter for Wills and Bill Russell.
Speaker 3: It's I just don't understand with some of these stats
Speaker 3: that you can go back and look. I'm guessing that
Speaker 3: somebody said, oh, somebody's blocking a shot. We should keep
Speaker 3: track of that.
Speaker 2: Boy.
Speaker 3: How many block shots does Wilt have? How many does
Speaker 3: Bill Russell have? There were games where and this is
Speaker 3: what I'm told, I didn't see it that you would
Speaker 3: have Will to have twenty five block shots in a
Speaker 3: game going against plumbers and electricians. Of course, yes, Pauline.
Speaker 10: NFL Network and NFL films and Pro Football Focus have
Speaker 10: all done this with sacks especially, and they did say
Speaker 10: that Deacon Jones would have had three different seasons with
Speaker 10: twenty two plus stacks. Yes, but it's not officially recognized.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Why we celebrate sacks as much as any other stat
Speaker 3: in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Right, we talk about edge rushers, how many sacks?
Speaker 3: It just seems like you have the means to be
Speaker 3: able to go back and total these up and block shots.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I think people would be interested
Speaker 3: and alarmed at how many shots that these guys blocked.
Speaker 3: That Bill Russell blocked and Wilt.
Speaker 2: Be amazing.
Speaker 3: All right, Uh, Chico in Baltimore, Hey Chico, what's on
Speaker 3: your mind?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 18: How you doing?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 11: How you've been a shout out to the you Caught
Speaker 11: hockey brand? That was one hack of a women's basketball
Speaker 11: So hey, when is the location? When are they going
Speaker 11: to go to New Orleans?
Speaker 16: I don't they were supposed to be there in twenty twenty,
Speaker 16: but due to the pandemic, why are they said to
Speaker 16: go to New Orleans as used to?
Speaker 3: All Right, I'll see if I can get one of
Speaker 3: my best people on that. I'm guessing you're talking about
Speaker 3: the women going to New Orleans Chico?
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't followed where the final four destinations are. San
Speaker 3: Antonio was always fun going there for a Final four.
Speaker 3: That was the infamous Kevin Costner party with all the coaches.
Speaker 3: He'd have all the coaches there and I remember being
Speaker 3: invited to the party and he had these two tone
Speaker 3: saddle shoes on. I mean, Costner looked like a movie star,
Speaker 3: but he was just a kid in Christmas talking to
Speaker 3: these coaches. He love talking college basketball with these guys.
Speaker 3: And that's where there was a woman who was hitting
Speaker 3: on me at this party, and Costner saw it and
Speaker 3: he said, hey, I'm and I'm paraphrasing. Basically, he was
Speaker 3: going to take one for the team. So he because
Speaker 3: I said, I have to go, and then and then
Speaker 3: he goes, the girl's hitting on you. I said yeah,
Speaker 3: he goes, oh, I got it, and so I ended
Speaker 3: up leaving. And who knows what happened at the Final four.
Speaker 3: It stays of the Final Four. I just know Costner
Speaker 3: basically said, hey, I'll take over.
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, Yeah.
Speaker 9: I had a lot of guys do that for me
Speaker 9: when I was single.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I didn't really ask for it. I just remember this.
Speaker 3: This is a story I can tell for a long
Speaker 3: time that Costner was going to let me go and
Speaker 3: he would go chatter up a little bit there.
Speaker 2: So thank you Kevin. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Uh Ethan in Los Angeles, Hi Ethan, what's on your
Speaker 3: mind today?
Speaker 11: Hey?
Speaker 17: With Coron guys, I got two baths of the weekend.
Speaker 17: I got the drive chip and putting contest for these
Speaker 17: kids out in Augusta National That that was pretty cool
Speaker 17: to see these kids loss the motion and the second
Speaker 17: best of the Masters are starting this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's fun. I love seeing the kids out there.
Speaker 3: You get a chance to be on that golf course,
Speaker 3: on those greens. It's a special moment for them. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know what the weather. Can we check the
Speaker 3: weather for Augusta this week for the Masters tradition unlike
Speaker 3: any other. Speaking of which, Dan and Iowa joining us, Hi, Dan,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
Speaker 15: Good morning?
Speaker 20: I have a really good Jim Nance story for you,
Speaker 20: much better than the one last week about two hour
Speaker 20: wait at that restaurant in Indiana. I was a runner
Speaker 20: at the regional in Des Moines, the first regional that
Speaker 20: des Moines ever had. It was like six years ago.
Speaker 20: You guys know what a runner is, but for your audience,
Speaker 20: that's like the lowest rung on a production.
Speaker 2: I mean just emptied.
Speaker 8: Waste baskets and what have you.
Speaker 20: So I was in the green room on Thursday and
Speaker 20: Jim Nants and his stake manager Amen and said Hi,
Speaker 20: what have you? And I said, Hey, could I get
Speaker 20: a picture with you? And he said yeah, I'd love to,
Speaker 20: but he said I need to unpack some stuff.
Speaker 8: Can we do it later?
Speaker 20: I said, yeah, it's not a problem. So about an
Speaker 20: hour later I had a call from my crew manager
Speaker 20: and she said, I understand you asked talent for a picture.
Speaker 3: I see, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 20: I did not know that. And I said yeah. She says, no,
Speaker 20: you do not ask talent for a picture. That if
Speaker 20: they come in the green room when you're in there,
Speaker 20: you leave. Okay, not a problem. Well, the stage manager
Speaker 20: threw me under the bus, obviously. So at the crew
Speaker 20: breakfast on Saturday morning, Jim and his entourage were sitting
Speaker 20: at a table behind the rest of us peons and
Speaker 20: I just kind of lean back and I said, hey,
Speaker 20: I guess I owe you an apology. He says, for
Speaker 20: what I said, I did not know. I wasn't supposed
Speaker 20: to ask you for a picture. He said, that's crazy.
Speaker 20: I'll be glad to take a pic. Come on, stand up.
Speaker 20: I said, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine. He said, no, really,
Speaker 20: come on, stand up. Let's say yet's get a picture.
Speaker 20: So I did, and we chatted a little bit, and
Speaker 20: he said, do you have anybody that would like to
Speaker 20: come to the game today? And I think it was
Speaker 20: North Carolina and Kansas, I don't remember exactly, but that
Speaker 20: regional was floated. And I said, well, yeah, my son's
Speaker 20: in town and he's a high school basketball coach. He
Speaker 20: loved to come, he said. He reaches into his jacket
Speaker 20: pocket and brings out two tickets. He said, here's two
Speaker 20: tickets center court roll five. He said, tell him Jim
Speaker 20: nance is glad to help him out.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, Thank you. Dan still not supposed to get
Speaker 3: a picture with talent.
Speaker 5: And still doesn't get the original point of the conversation.
Speaker 5: It's how about don't bother those people should have said,
Speaker 5: don't go up to them and apologize after for something
Speaker 5: that before because they probably have no idea what you're
Speaker 5: talking about.
Speaker 3: And then Dan leaning back to say, I guess I
Speaker 3: owe you an apology is basically a cry for hey,
Speaker 3: can you give me a pick?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 3: Dan probably got fired after that, but I'm glad he
Speaker 3: hicks the Yeah you got the tickets.
Speaker 2: That's great, Thank you, thank you. Jim just happen to
Speaker 2: have them right in his podcast there. You know what,
Speaker 2: I just happened to have these two right here for
Speaker 2: you and your son. Let's take a break. We got
Speaker 2: our play of the day up next.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 13: Wapp Oh my god, no play of the.
Speaker 17: Day, witter lips, I got it.
Speaker 3: Play This is the play of the day.
Speaker 2: Check this out right side to Wilson shattered up.
Speaker 1: Oh Thatston has any stars?
Speaker 14: He stares Alex so bad Stead star Saint ninety five.
Speaker 14: There's a new gold storing xampion and his name he
Speaker 14: is Alex Sander.
Speaker 5: Oh Bedstead.
Speaker 2: That's to see.
Speaker 3: Of the Caps radio network. Ovechkin has forty two goals
Speaker 3: this season, second most in NHL. History by a player
Speaker 3: thirty nine or older. Gordi Howe had forty four back
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 2: That's your play of the day.
Speaker 3: Play of the Day brought to you by Rapid Radios,
Speaker 3: the official walkie talkie of the DP show Push to
Speaker 3: Talk nationwide, LTE Network, Nose subscriptions ever. Business owners, stay
Speaker 3: connected with your employees anywhere. Visit Rapid Radios dot com
Speaker 3: up to sixty percent off and free shipping. The milestone
Speaker 3: is not just about how great Ovechkin is, it's a
Speaker 3: reminder of how great Wayne Gretzky was. His one nine
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three assists are one thousand more than
Speaker 3: the next closest player. Now that's a record that'll never
Speaker 3: be touched. Gretzky is still the NHL's all time points
Speaker 3: leader by over nine hundred points. That will never be beaten.
Speaker 3: So if you only count the assist, Gretzky would still
Speaker 3: be the league leader in scoring. And it's not a
Speaker 3: knock on Ovechkin. It's just a reminder of how great
Speaker 3: Wayne Gretzky was, that he redefined offense in the NHL.
Speaker 3: There have been a lot of great scorers and a
Speaker 3: lot of great passers. In hockey, we focus on goal scorers,
Speaker 3: not those who have assists. But the fact that Gretzky, oh,
Speaker 3: by the way, was doing that. Imagine if he was
Speaker 3: just a goal scorer, what wod you have? Thirteen thirteen
Speaker 3: hundred something crazy if he just focused on that, if
Speaker 3: he was selfish. Now I'm not saying Novechkin is, but
Speaker 3: he's known as a goal scorer, Brett Hall known as
Speaker 3: a goal scorer, Mike Bossi goal scorers, Lemieux goalscorer. But
Speaker 3: here's Gretzky. And I don't know if this is fair,
Speaker 3: and I've said this before. Be like John Stockton if
Speaker 3: he was the Alzheime assist guy in the Alzhime's scorer
Speaker 3: in the NBA, and Gretzky and John Stockton are probably no.
Speaker 3: Gretzky's smaller than John Stockton. But just to give you
Speaker 3: an idea of what he was doing and how he
Speaker 3: was doing it, yeah, pulling.
Speaker 10: You know, if you look at Magic Johnson his first
Speaker 10: few years, he was averaging like eighteen and eleven when
Speaker 10: he got there, and then midway through his career when
Speaker 10: Kareem left the Lakers, he had to bump up his
Speaker 10: scoring average. Magic Johnson had a season where he had
Speaker 10: twenty four points per game and twelve and a half assists,
Speaker 10: and he was amongst the league leaders in both obviously assists.
Speaker 9: But it's almost like Magic could have scored more.
Speaker 10: Oh sure, and I think that's maybe the best comp
Speaker 10: with Gretzky.
Speaker 3: Well, he could have, but it wasn't best for his
Speaker 3: team for him to score more or he didn't have to.
Speaker 3: And Wayne played on great, great teams and took advantage
Speaker 3: of those great teammates.
Speaker 2: Eric and Pennsylvania. Hi, Eric, what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning guys. I appreciate you taking my call. Yeah,
Speaker 8: the one comment I had regarding you've brought up the
Speaker 8: NFL and Brady or Aigman made a comment this season
Speaker 8: about one thousand yards rushing and that we shouldn't really
Speaker 8: make that much of a deal about that anymore. And
Speaker 8: so games played, especially in the NFL, I think are
Speaker 8: really important. I don't know how much the NHL has
Speaker 8: increased their game count over the years, or interestingly it
Speaker 8: speaks to longevity, But how many games did it take
Speaker 8: Ovechkin versus Gretzky.
Speaker 2: They did it in the exact number of games.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, and that's impressive, but the NFL, you go
Speaker 8: back to that comment and rushing, I think that that
Speaker 8: those statistics are still in a little bit.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 3: Vechkin eighty seven games, the same number of games that
Speaker 3: it took Gretzky to achieve his career total, which is
Speaker 3: crazy coincidental, Michael and Ohio. Hi Mike, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11: ADP?
Speaker 21: Thanks for the call. I wanted to up a play
Speaker 21: in the Red Sox game less I know so I'm
Speaker 21: in a baseball and I wanted to see if you
Speaker 21: guys had in any interest in comparing that and contrasting
Speaker 21: that to the NFL. So Christian Campbell jumped and caught
Speaker 21: like a little blooper, landed on the infield Grass, reached
Speaker 21: into his glove with his right hand to then fired
Speaker 21: around the infield and he dropped it really quickly. The
Speaker 21: umpire signaled out in motion that he dropped it on
Speaker 21: the transfer, and Carl Rabbits on the call quickly said
Speaker 21: the same thing.
Speaker 19: And it just made me.
Speaker 21: Wonder why in baseball are we so easy to use
Speaker 21: common sense on this catch and bobble, and in the
Speaker 21: NFL we have such a hard time defining this.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm ready for a deep dive
Speaker 3: on that today. There's a lot of other things to
Speaker 3: talk about, and I don't think it happens that often
Speaker 3: in baseball like football, you know, it's seventeen games like
Speaker 3: they're all important and baseball and you got one hundred
Speaker 3: and sixty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See.
Speaker 5: I think there's a pretty obvious solution here though, which
Speaker 5: I think the caller was suggesting. Football, especially wide receivers,
Speaker 5: are people who catch the ball need to start using
Speaker 5: mits on both hands once the ball enters what looks
Speaker 5: like a normal everyday you know glove and baseball emit some.
Speaker 2: Sort then okay, uh Norman in Mississippi, Hi.
Speaker 15: Norman, Hello, Dan, just come in on seth Greenberg saying
Speaker 15: UNLV was the greatest college basketball team you ever saw.
Speaker 15: He never saw the seventy five Indiana Hoosers, not the
Speaker 15: seventy six to win in undefeated. But the seventy five
Speaker 15: UNLV did destroy Duke in the championship game. But in
Speaker 15: the tournament they beat ball State by two points, and
Speaker 15: ball State couldn't hit a free throw the last minute
Speaker 15: when they was a head. Also a stat of the day,
Speaker 15: Rick Mount you mentioned was the first high school basketball
Speaker 15: player the Belle mccover of Sports illustrat.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Lebanon, Indiana, I think for Rick Mount, thank you.
Speaker 3: Norman UNLV was dominating, but you gotta win. They won
Speaker 3: one national title, they lost the other one. They dominated
Speaker 3: Duke in the title game and then ended up losing
Speaker 3: the semifinals to Duke the following year. But that was
Speaker 3: a wonderful team to watch, and it started with the defense.
Speaker 3: They were the running ReBs. After they played defense, that
Speaker 3: was to me their magic. Sauce gino Oriemo just won
Speaker 3: a national title. He'll join us coming up in ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Dan Hurley, the men's basketball coach at Yukon, will join
Speaker 3: us in the final hour.
Speaker 2: One hour in the books, two more to go.
