Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Made it to a Friday, Dan and the Dan and
Speaker 2: Stan Patrick Show. I'm not in the main man Cave.
Speaker 2: I'm in the main man Cave, but not in the
Speaker 2: main without the e man Cave and the recipe. The
Speaker 2: menu today certainly bears that out. Fritzy probably not going
Speaker 2: to be happy with all of this burger and waffle fries.
Speaker 2: That's it. As Tyler said, he didn't want to waste
Speaker 2: a good meat Friday on just the Dan Etts if
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to be in studio. So that's who
Speaker 2: has it better than we do. No money, buddy, this
Speaker 2: is fun.
Speaker 3: We're calling it the Winter Burger Festival. Burgers and beers
Speaker 3: outside in the cold.
Speaker 2: Burgers and waffle fries on the menu. Here for a
Speaker 2: meat Friday, all right, Come on in, stay a while.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Jason Garrett, former Cowboys head coach David Carr,
Speaker 2: NFL network analyst Mike Florio. We'll stop by as well.
Speaker 2: Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls throughout
Speaker 2: the morning. Eight seven to seven, three DP show Three
Speaker 2: Days of Football Straight Ahead, starting with Saturday games Sunday,
Speaker 2: games Monday, Monday night National Title game. So we'll try
Speaker 2: to dissect all of these over the next three hours.
Speaker 2: Most cars on the road could use a little TLC
Speaker 2: and at MAKO they're trying to bring your car back
Speaker 2: to life with affordable paint jobs and light collision repairs.
Speaker 2: Get a free estimate today, Oh better get make up
Speaker 2: play the day, poll question stat of the Day, all
Speaker 2: of that forthcoming. The point spreads as of this morning
Speaker 2: according to DraftKings, I've got the Texans getting eight and
Speaker 2: a half, the Commanders getting eight and a half, the
Speaker 2: Rams are getting six, and the Bills at home are
Speaker 2: getting one and a half. Fritzi, It's Friday, Fritzi. He's
Speaker 2: got a few pole question suggestions seat and will also
Speaker 2: fill in some of the gray area there with some
Speaker 2: of his own. Well, recap the big basketball game last night.
Speaker 2: You probably didn't watch it, but the Oklahoma City Thunder
Speaker 2: now thirty four and six. They rough up the Cavaliers
Speaker 2: as they win by twenty and trying to make somebody
Speaker 2: a star in a city that doesn't make stars or
Speaker 2: a game that probably doesn't bear itself out and highlights
Speaker 2: on the mothership. That's Shay gilgis Alexander. You'd have to
Speaker 2: work on the name, the game and the fact that
Speaker 2: he's in Oklahoma City. But I think all signs are
Speaker 2: leading to him being the MVP this year. Might be
Speaker 2: a little MVP voter fatigue with the Joker, but Shay
Speaker 2: Gilgiss is averaging over thirty a game. He had over
Speaker 2: forty last night against the Cavaliers. We'll talk about that
Speaker 2: coming up. And he was second. He finished runner up
Speaker 2: to Joker last year, so it's not going to be
Speaker 2: a big surprise, but we'll talk about that. You're trying
Speaker 2: or it feels like there's analysts trying to let you know,
Speaker 2: watch him play. It's just he's not a highlight machine.
Speaker 2: He's just extremely economically great. It just he goes out
Speaker 2: there and he'll give you forty points. I think he's
Speaker 2: done that six times so far this season. Alrighty Todd,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with you. You have a few Friday
Speaker 2: Fritzy Poll questions.
Speaker 4: Texans aside, if the Lions reached the Super Bowl, who
Speaker 4: should they want to play? It would be the Bills,
Speaker 4: Chiefs or Ravens. Who should the Lions want to play?
Speaker 4: If they're fortunate enough to reach the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I think it's weird to say the obvious answer would
Speaker 2: be the Kansas City Chiefs because they feel vulnerable at
Speaker 2: fifteen and two. I want no part of Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: in a big game. I don't I don't been down
Speaker 2: that road too many times. No, not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: You can give me Lamar Jackson maybe one of the
Speaker 2: greatest seasons ever by a quarterback, and Josh Allen is
Speaker 2: probably going to be the runner up to him for MVP.
Speaker 2: I'll take my chances because those guys haven't been in
Speaker 2: this situation before. It's the same thing with Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many years he wasn't the best
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league. But if you said you got
Speaker 2: to win one game, or you had a game winning
Speaker 2: drive and you gave him the football or anybody else,
Speaker 2: you said, I'll take him. And that's what Mahomes is.
Speaker 2: Mahomes is not a stat machine. He hasn't been. They've
Speaker 2: changed the whole complexion of this team. It's a defensive team.
Speaker 2: They do run the football. Travis Kelcey has regressed a
Speaker 2: little bit the last couple of years. During the regular season.
Speaker 2: He's another guy where you go, man, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It seems to be slowing down a little bit, and
Speaker 2: it'll be like seven catches for ninety yards and with
Speaker 2: Mahomes somehow, some way, you can't game plan for third
Speaker 2: and fifteen and he gets out of the pocket dances
Speaker 2: down the sidelines for sixteen. So I would say, I'll
Speaker 2: take my chances with Buffalo or the Texans or the
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, anybody taking Kansas City that the Lions would
Speaker 2: want to face old Ud.
Speaker 5: Okay, it'll be extra special to keep them from the
Speaker 5: three peats.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 5: The Chiefs, to me, I.
Speaker 4: Understand your point, which are all valid, are a little
Speaker 4: less scary than Lamar and Josh and those two teams.
Speaker 2: Okay, But if I said the Broncos were in the
Speaker 2: AFC title, gay and you could face the Ravens, Bills
Speaker 2: are Chiefs? Who were you taking?
Speaker 4: Based on what happened in the regular season, they got
Speaker 4: destroyed forty one to ten against the Ravens. The Bills
Speaker 4: just destroyed the Broncos. Denver almost beat the Chiefs in
Speaker 4: Kansas City on a block field goal, and then they
Speaker 4: let them beat them thirty eight to nothing. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 4: I would take the Chiefs. They know us, but we
Speaker 4: know them. We played them twice a year, and I
Speaker 4: just think the Chiefs are ripe for the taking, as
Speaker 4: if Bills and Ravens scamming more than the Chiefs, even
Speaker 4: with all the experience in my home seat.
Speaker 2: What about you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we us let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I feel like the Chiefs are actually the last team
Speaker 6: that I want I would want to face, and probably
Speaker 6: for all of the reasons you just mentioned, actually owing
Speaker 6: for the three p they're completely unpredictable. I feel like
Speaker 6: you can game plan for a lot of different things,
Speaker 6: but you really can't game plan for that. You know,
Speaker 6: fourth and seventeen, you've got Patrick Mahomes exactly where you
Speaker 6: want to be scrambling, he jumps out of bounds and
Speaker 6: somehow throws a thirty seven yard dart to a wide
Speaker 6: open Kelsey, and this year, like, what the hell, we
Speaker 6: just had him sacked, We just had them on fourth down.
Speaker 6: You know, you can't really game plan for that.
Speaker 2: But you would also look at that game planning that
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is capable of those crazy plays and Lamar
Speaker 2: Jackson capable of those plays. I've just seen it. When
Speaker 2: the game is on the line and it's time to
Speaker 2: pucker and Mahomes is awesome.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, those guys are all capable of those things,
Speaker 6: but Patrick Mahomes does them regularly and right those other
Speaker 6: two quarterbacks they have more of a history of.
Speaker 2: Puckering.
Speaker 6: As you'd say that, they just makes them less scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paulie, I'm with you. I want no part of
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been right for the taking
Speaker 3: for straight years. It seems like every week they're down,
Speaker 3: every game they're down. How many playoff games have they
Speaker 3: been down? If I were a Lions fan going into
Speaker 3: the fourth quart of the Super Bowl up two touchdowns
Speaker 3: on the Chiefs, I'd be like, oh no, oh my.
Speaker 2: It would never be caught it. He's got us just
Speaker 2: where he wants to, right, you know, never comfortable. Dang it,
Speaker 2: dang it. We're only up two touchdowns going into the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. But the Ravens in Buffalo and the Ravens
Speaker 2: favored on the road by one and a half. You know,
Speaker 2: you start to look at these and I always go,
Speaker 2: what's Vegas want me to do? Is Vegas saying, you
Speaker 2: know what, you got to take the bills they're getting
Speaker 2: one and a half at home. That's what they're saying
Speaker 2: to you. And then you look at these numbers with
Speaker 2: the Commanders and the Lions eight and a half, Texans
Speaker 2: Chiefs eight and a half, it feels and this isn't
Speaker 2: fair to the Texans. I'll say that up front, like
Speaker 2: the Commanders are capable, might be more capable of beating
Speaker 2: the Lions in Detroit than the Texans beating the Chiefs
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. And maybe that's you know, just the
Speaker 2: perception of or the lack of respect. The Texans get
Speaker 2: but eight and a half for both of these teams
Speaker 2: on the road, and then the Rams and the Eagles
Speaker 2: six point game. And I started to look at some
Speaker 2: of the prop bets. Here. If I said over under
Speaker 2: rushing yards Saquon Barkley against the Rams, Marvin, you got
Speaker 2: a guess here, seventy five and a half, all right,
Speaker 2: Seaton eighty two, Paul eighty nine and a half.
Speaker 4: Todd, I'm going to say ninety four and a half.
Speaker 2: One twelve and a half. That's aggressive, no respect. That
Speaker 2: surprised me a little bit there, Yeah, yeah, uh. They
Speaker 2: expect Josh Allen to have more passing yards than Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: How about Derrick Henry over under rushing yards Ravens Bills,
Speaker 2: Paul ninety six and a half, Marvin.
Speaker 6: Eighty eight, Todd ninety and a half, Seaton two hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty seven and one half.
Speaker 2: Ninety seven and a half. PAULI had ninety six and
Speaker 2: a half. Yes, Patrick Mahomes passing yards against the Texans,
Speaker 2: Paul kind of low.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to twenty nine and a half, alright, Marvin.
Speaker 5: Two forty eight and a half.
Speaker 4: Todd, Well, I kind of split the difference there to
Speaker 4: thirty seven and a half between those two guns.
Speaker 2: All right, Seaton, no connor, I'm gonna this is a
Speaker 2: bad guess.
Speaker 6: But to twenty seven and a half.
Speaker 2: Two twenty seven and a half is c J. Stroud's over.
Speaker 5: Gotta give him love for that.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is two fifty and half. Just some of
Speaker 2: the random things here. Yeah, they got Josh Allen two
Speaker 2: forty eight and a half, Lamar Jackson to twenty four
Speaker 2: and a half. But and Poukinakua they expect him to
Speaker 2: have a really good game over under his eighty eight
Speaker 2: and a half yards in that matchup. All right? Eight
Speaker 2: seven seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: twitter handle at DP show once again David Carr from
Speaker 2: NFL Network. A little later on, we have the most
Speaker 2: must win game of the weekend. Got her play of
Speaker 2: the day coming up. Kind of a quiet last couple
Speaker 2: of days with the coaching moves. Aaron Rodgers talks about
Speaker 2: talking to the Jets, but Vegas has a new team,
Speaker 2: a new place that Aaron Rodgers, if he decides to
Speaker 2: play next year, that that would be the place that
Speaker 2: he would be going to. Paulie, I'll start with you.
Speaker 2: Vegas thinks that if Aaron Rodgers plays again, you know what,
Speaker 2: let me play. Aaron Rodgers on McAfee's show talking with
Speaker 2: the Jets.
Speaker 7: I gave some constructive things.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 7: It's there's so much that goes into the whole thing.
Speaker 7: There's there's the food far, there's the locker room, there's travel,
Speaker 7: there's hotel stuff, there's different you know, you're just giving
Speaker 7: a little constructive things here and there that maybe they
Speaker 7: take the heart, maybe they don't. I think everybody understands
Speaker 7: that it's going to come down to a GM and
Speaker 7: a coach and myself, uh, and whether we all want
Speaker 7: to do a dance together, or if it's it's not
Speaker 7: in the cards, Okay.
Speaker 2: Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight,
Speaker 2: down down tonight. Figured that be right?
Speaker 5: Set me up so lovely, even though you didn't mean to.
Speaker 2: Do you know who saying sings that? Not? Sure casey?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 8: Do you do you want?
Speaker 5: That's not them?
Speaker 2: It's not them, that's the Bay City Saturday. Wow. Come on,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 5: Come on, come on? How can I fail that.
Speaker 2: The money, ask questions? Don't mail it in just because
Speaker 2: it's Friday. Let's go. I got to pick it up
Speaker 2: every day. Is the super Bowl all right?
Speaker 9: Here?
Speaker 2: It is Vegas is the place that Vegas thinks that
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is going to go. Yeah, the Raiders are
Speaker 2: the favorites for Aaron Rodgers. And uh I was a
Speaker 2: little bit surprised that, well we brought this up here.
Speaker 2: Can you get him to come in as your bridge quarterback?
Speaker 2: Would Tom Brady entertain that as the new owner of
Speaker 2: the Raiders? Man, unless I thought my team could be
Speaker 2: good and and and compete, you know, I mean, you're
Speaker 2: in a division where the Broncos, Chargers and Chiefs all
Speaker 2: made the playoffs. So is Aaron Rodgers going to help
Speaker 2: help me with anything other than attendance. And you're already
Speaker 2: a tourist attraction. Now you don't have a home field advantage.
Speaker 2: But do I want Aaron Rodgers or do I bring
Speaker 2: in somebody else and go, can I get through this
Speaker 2: next season and then maybe we start to build this
Speaker 2: into a champion again? Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3: Lifestyle wise, it makes a ton of sense for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: He could live out by pow Rump or Area fifty
Speaker 3: one or what do they get a double white out
Speaker 3: there would a satellite dish.
Speaker 2: He'd be perfect lifestyle wise. Okay, anybody else have thought?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: I thought maybe Pittsburgh, but he just doesn't fit in
Speaker 2: with what Pittsburgh's whole philosophy is. I can't see that happening.
Speaker 2: I mean, Russ didn't really fit in. I mean he tried,
Speaker 2: but I just can't imagine Aaron being on McAfee talking
Speaker 2: about whatever he's talking about and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin's got to go to the press conference, say
Speaker 2: hey said the following on Pat McAfee. That feels like
Speaker 2: that would get really old really quick for Tomlin. Yes,
Speaker 2: I think it's got to be someplace that we don't expect.
Speaker 2: They were like, hey, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 6: I don't think it's gonna be one of those Wow,
Speaker 6: that makes a lot of sense places at all, Like
Speaker 6: it's gonna be like New Orleans or something where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 6: yeah I could. It's out of nowhere. Him and DeVante
Speaker 6: Adams and two more of his buddies are going to
Speaker 6: be like, why don't we just go all land at
Speaker 6: the Saints?
Speaker 2: Right now feels like it'll be Tennessee or the Raiders
Speaker 2: if I was guessing. I have no information on that
Speaker 2: other than just what I could see. Maybe one year
Speaker 2: with the Raiders, but they're just not ready to win,
Speaker 2: So why do I want to do that? Why do
Speaker 2: I want to spend that money? It almost feels like
Speaker 2: you take a step back before you take two steps forward.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't mean he can't play a high I
Speaker 2: mean his numbers were really good with the Jets, where
Speaker 2: that's where stats are deceiving, where you go, man, all right,
Speaker 2: not bad. The thing that I would want to look
Speaker 2: at is his fourth quarter numbers, because that's the quarterback
Speaker 2: I want, That's what I need. These games are all
Speaker 2: decided by seven points or less. What did your quarterback
Speaker 2: do when the game was on the line, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 4: Along with your thoughts on the Titans in a winnable
Speaker 4: AFC South, Would.
Speaker 2: The Colts take a shot with him for a year?
Speaker 4: They were in the playoff picture up until towards the
Speaker 4: very end there Week sixteen.
Speaker 5: Week seventeen.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely. I mean they do have talent there and
Speaker 2: probably had enough talent to win that division. They just
Speaker 2: didn't get consistent quarterback play. And Anthony Richardson's not ready,
Speaker 2: not ready yet, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: And for the Colts, that's on brand for them. They
Speaker 10: brought in what Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan. They'll try
Speaker 10: their hand that another veteran quarterback?
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 8: Blue?
Speaker 2: Bloop bloop blue. We'll take a break when we come back. Yes,
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco coming back again?
Speaker 6: Checking?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so he might be coming back? Who knows? Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not? Yes?
Speaker 9: Mark?
Speaker 10: Can he win a comeback Player of the Year twice?
Speaker 2: Not back to back?
Speaker 3: I think Chad Pennington is a two time comeback Player
Speaker 3: of the Year winner. But you can't come back twice
Speaker 3: because if you came back, you have to revert back
Speaker 3: to badness, I think.
Speaker 2: But could something bad happen during that next season that
Speaker 2: you came back from and then you won come back player,
Speaker 2: come back, back, back back actually yeah, Player of the Year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Steve Stricker, I think won Comeback Player of the Year
Speaker 2: twice on the PGA Tour. I think when we come
Speaker 2: back a little bit later on this first down, we'll
Speaker 2: bring back a portion of the interview I did with
Speaker 2: Bob Yuker. That was the last time that we had
Speaker 2: him on the show, passing away at the age of ninety.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break just getting started. Phone calls, we'll
Speaker 2: get to those as well. Settle on our poll question.
Speaker 2: We're back after this.

Speaker 2: Late in the show yesterday, we found out that Bob
Speaker 2: Uker had passed away mister Baseball. He was also mister
Speaker 2: Belvedere and famous for those Miller like commercials as well.
Speaker 2: He was wonderful. He was fun to be around. He
Speaker 2: always made you laugh, and I had an opportunity later
Speaker 2: in his life to be able to text with him
Speaker 2: on occasion, whenever something happened with the Brewers or in
Speaker 2: the off season when he was back in Arizona. I
Speaker 2: would just text to check on him. And we wanted
Speaker 2: to bring back just a portion of the last interview
Speaker 2: that we did. This is back in June of twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: and here he is, the great Bob Buker. Hi, Bob,
Speaker 2: how are.
Speaker 13: You, Daniel Son? How are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing okay. No pressure on you, other than I
Speaker 2: wanted to have some fun with baseball and there hasn't
Speaker 2: been anything fun with baseball as of late. So how
Speaker 2: are you doing. How's your morale?
Speaker 13: I'm doing okay. I'm glad. We're going back to work
Speaker 13: and it'll be my sixty to fiftyear overall in baseball,
Speaker 13: you know, as a player, if you want to say that,
Speaker 13: And of course calling the games here in Milwaukee, I
Speaker 13: worked a couple of I worked a couple of seasons
Speaker 13: with the Braves with Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson before
Speaker 13: Bud brought me back to Bud Saaley brought me back
Speaker 13: to Milwaukee. But other than that, I'm hanging around and
Speaker 13: I'm waiting to go back to work.
Speaker 2: I just saw where your official batting average in your
Speaker 2: career was one ninety nine to seven.
Speaker 13: I I you know that. I couldn't. A lot of
Speaker 13: my sponsors would be upset if they dropped below two hundred,
Speaker 13: because at that time it tied me with another sports
Speaker 13: great averaging two hundred better for a ten year period,
Speaker 13: and that was Hall of Fame Bower. Don Carter blow
Speaker 13: that off.
Speaker 2: But were you the mendozaligned before the mendoz A line.
Speaker 13: Bob, Well, yeah, but she's got a job in baseball now.
Speaker 13: I think she works for the Mets, doesn't she.
Speaker 2: That's that's a different Mendoza. Oh okay, and tell me
Speaker 2: if this is right. Did you get traded? Did your
Speaker 2: baseball career get extended because you were a good clubhouse guy?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean laundry has got to be done. There's
Speaker 13: I mean for a couple of extra bucks a month
Speaker 13: I was making, I was making below the minimum, you
Speaker 13: know that, and selling other players equipment got me a
Speaker 13: couple of months doing laundry. There's a lot of things
Speaker 13: that you can do without playing. I actually thought it
Speaker 13: was an infringement when they asked me to play a game.
Speaker 2: But I thought you got traded to the Cardinals because
Speaker 2: you were going to back up McCarver and you might
Speaker 2: have had a better arm, but they liked your personality well.
Speaker 13: And I think arm wise, I had one on each side,
Speaker 13: which wasn't that time. But yeah, to back up Timmy,
Speaker 13: who's remained a great friend. And yeah, of course, you know,
Speaker 13: we went a World Series that year when I got
Speaker 13: traded to Saint Louis, and I'm not I'm not gonna
Speaker 13: say anything. They didn't win one before when I got there.
Speaker 13: They something had to be working, right.
Speaker 2: He was eighty six at that time. He died at ninety,
Speaker 2: but eighty six sharp, even the Jessica Mendoza who worked
Speaker 2: for ESPN instead of the Mario Mendoza. The Mendoza line.
Speaker 2: But you know he would, he would, I think love
Speaker 2: it if we were smiling about this. I mean there's
Speaker 2: sadness there, but that's a full life. You're ninety. And
Speaker 2: he made people laugh, and he made people laugh in
Speaker 2: such an easy, routine, almost normal kind of conversational tone.
Speaker 2: It was in a big wind up. You never had
Speaker 2: to set him up for anything. He just seemed to
Speaker 2: have that ability to just he could laugh at himself.
Speaker 2: But I still go back to my favorite Bob Yucker
Speaker 2: line when he was asked, you know, how difficult is
Speaker 2: it to catch a knuckleball? He said, It's really easy,
Speaker 2: you just wait till it stops rolling. It just kind
Speaker 2: of epitomized that self deprecating as a catcher, but also
Speaker 2: had that fun you could always hear it in his voice. Yes,
Speaker 2: Marvin and.
Speaker 10: Bob Uker was so great. So the first time I
Speaker 10: saw him was the movie Major League. I thought he
Speaker 10: was like an actual comic. I had no idea about
Speaker 10: his play by play or his baseball background. I didn'ven
Speaker 10: realized he was a real baseball guy. I just thought
Speaker 10: he was a comic that was the play by play
Speaker 10: guy in this movie.
Speaker 2: Just a bit outside.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I have the same experience as Marvin,
Speaker 6: but it was from the sitcom that he did. I
Speaker 6: forget what belvitere? Oh is he mister belvide I knew
Speaker 6: him from mister Belvidere. I thought he was an actor,
Speaker 6: and then you see him in Major League or whatever,
Speaker 6: and they're like, oh my gosh, now he's doing play
Speaker 6: by play. That's crazy. I had it all backwards, just
Speaker 6: based on the reference point.
Speaker 2: Well, he would be on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson,
Speaker 2: and he was on probably sixty times, but he just
Speaker 2: he was there and he made Johnny laugh. And you
Speaker 2: know a lot of times comedians don't laugh at other
Speaker 2: comedians now and here's Johnny who had Bob on and
Speaker 2: he knew that he was going to crack him up.
Speaker 2: And Bob used that platform. You know, he got the
Speaker 2: miller like commercial must be in the front row. And
Speaker 2: that's the first thing I thought of, is wherever he is.
Speaker 2: I hope he's in the front row.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paulie, I just found an interview and yes, he
Speaker 3: was on Johnny Carson's show sixty two times, which that's
Speaker 3: a captive audience. Back in the seventies and eighties to
Speaker 3: become famous, there was an envy with Johnny Carson, and
Speaker 3: he talked about some of his favorite guests and he
Speaker 3: compared Bob Ucker to Rodney Dangerfield. Just set him up
Speaker 3: and let him go. It's the best kind of guest
Speaker 3: for a TV show.
Speaker 2: Also, much humor without language, like he's not offending anybody,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to go blue. He just had an
Speaker 2: ability to just have something that just made you laugh.
Speaker 2: Whether it was a snicker, whether it was a belly
Speaker 2: laugh that he had that ability and passing away at
Speaker 2: the age of ninety. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: No, buddy, Happy to meet Friday Boys. Let's go proceed
Speaker 9: Group VP, real quick rip Bob Ucker to you guys's point,
Speaker 9: absolute legend and Marvin is right. Major League is up
Speaker 9: there as one of the best sports movies of all time,
Speaker 9: so many great one liners, and still holds up to
Speaker 9: this day. And Dan, you asked why some of us
Speaker 9: have Chiefs fatigue. I mean, Marvin and I have a
Speaker 9: great reason. We've lost to them a couple of times
Speaker 9: in this Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Not good, good, Thank you, Buddha. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: I watched basketball last night because two of my favorite teams,
Speaker 2: Cleveland and Oklahoma City, they squared off and Oka see
Speaker 2: one by twenty Shay gilgis Alexander Junior the third. He
Speaker 2: is having another great season. Now. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: the Joker is averaging a triple double. I think he's
Speaker 2: averaging thirty one, like twelve and ten and it's an
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, we've just gotten to that point
Speaker 2: where oh yeah, those are nice numbers there. You know,
Speaker 2: the take it for granted, triple double with a big
Speaker 2: man averaging tennisist per game. But Shay Gilgis he is
Speaker 2: averaging over thirty a game. And I'm curious. This would
Speaker 2: be the third consecutive season averaging at least thirty points.
Speaker 2: So I was curious how many players have averaged at
Speaker 2: least thirty for three consecutive years. Bob McAdoo did it,
Speaker 2: and that was back in the seventies. That was with
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Braves. James Harden has done it. Kareem Abdul
Speaker 2: Jabbar did it. Michael Jordan did it six consecutive years.
Speaker 2: Oscar he did it from sixty three to sixty seven,
Speaker 2: so I think four years in there. Wilt is in there.
Speaker 2: But you know, you can take him off the board
Speaker 2: because it's just different with him, because he was averaging
Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty eight, fifty forty four, thirty six, thirty four,
Speaker 2: thirty five, thirty seven, thirty five. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: just like, wait a minute, what's going on here? Jordan
Speaker 2: from eighty six to ninety two, he went thirty seven,
Speaker 2: thirty five, thirty two, thirty three, thirty one, thirty and
Speaker 2: thirty two, thirty two and a half, and you're scoring thirty.
Speaker 2: You're not shooting threes back then. Now Shay gilgis is
Speaker 2: now shooting threes at least not known like it's just
Speaker 2: if you have to watch a game. And this is
Speaker 2: what I would say to all these MVP voters. Make
Speaker 2: sure you're watching games, because if you're watching highlights, you're
Speaker 2: gonna come away and go, all right, what's the big deal.
Speaker 2: It's a mid range jumper. You know you have I
Speaker 2: think Anthony Edwards just came out and said, Shay Gilgess
Speaker 2: Alexander is unstoppable. It's rare when you have somebody say
Speaker 2: that about somebody else and say they're unstoppable. You know,
Speaker 2: there are players that I think are You can't stop them,
Speaker 2: you can only hope to contain them. But and he
Speaker 2: might be one of those guys. It's just he's not
Speaker 2: going to make the highlights. He's not and I don't
Speaker 2: know if that prevents him from winning the MVP. We
Speaker 2: love style points, we love something that go. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I voted for him, like you don't, you know, you
Speaker 2: vote for the guy and you're like, really that guy?
Speaker 2: And there was a late push last year by analyst
Speaker 2: at ESPN. They thought, you know, even Barkley did that.
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgis, I guess should have been the MVP. And
Speaker 2: I don't have any problems with that. I mean, he
Speaker 2: was a really good player for a team that had
Speaker 2: a good record. Now with this record, it's really hard
Speaker 2: to ignore that. And maybe he wins an MVP. There's
Speaker 2: a couple of things that have worked against him. I said,
Speaker 2: he's in Oklahoma City. You have to find their games.
Speaker 2: They're not probably prominent. Like if you said to any
Speaker 2: of these networks, hey, do you want to have the
Speaker 2: Lakers on or OKC? I'm going to have the Lakers on.
Speaker 2: Plus he was in Los Angeles, but he was with
Speaker 2: the Clippers. Plus he was that guy that was kind
Speaker 2: of traded thrown in, Hey we want to get Paul George,
Speaker 2: Well we can give up this guy. Shay gilgis Alexander.
Speaker 2: I think he needs a nickname. I think he needs
Speaker 2: one of those that, you know, joke, Greek freak. I
Speaker 2: think those things could help a little bit. Yes, Marvin, yeah, he.
Speaker 10: Has SGA, but Paul just pointed out it's just an abbreviation.
Speaker 10: Would you club Shah is taken already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I get you know, I would get mixed
Speaker 2: up with Sizza s z a good jumper. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I might be thinking Sga as z a, yes, PAULI. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Calling him Sga puts a spotlight on how hard his
Speaker 3: name is to say day to day, and that's one
Speaker 3: of the reasons he's not easily consumable. Even watching his
Speaker 3: game last night, if you're describing as game, it's like
Speaker 3: he kind of meanders around the court, finds a spot,
Speaker 3: just pops the jumper.
Speaker 2: That's it. All day. He makes it look easy and
Speaker 2: it's not, obviously, but there's a there's a Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 2: feel to him that he's not in a hurry. He's
Speaker 2: not slow, he's not fast. He has his own tempo,
Speaker 2: his own pace. When Kawhi Leonard used to play and
Speaker 2: play at a high level, I see that with Shay Gilgers. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's an on ball defender. You know,
Speaker 2: Kawhi was a really good two way player. But I'm
Speaker 2: watching and will continue to watch, and they don't even
Speaker 2: have Cheded Holmgren back. And once you get him, I mean,
Speaker 2: then they look like the team to beat they certainly do, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: And the thing is, they've been trying to make him
Speaker 10: a star. He was in the skims, the Kim Kardashian line,
Speaker 10: he posed in his you know own nearly nude. Well,
Speaker 10: he had the what a Girl Wants commercial with the check.
Speaker 10: So they've been trying, like there's been a concerted effort
Speaker 10: to make this guy a star.
Speaker 3: Commercial did him no favors? Now, that wasn't good. I'm
Speaker 3: not blaming him, I'm blaming them. Yeah that was where
Speaker 3: you go?
Speaker 2: Mm man, I don't know. I don't know, but they're trying.
Speaker 2: At least they tried. I just don't know if he's
Speaker 2: ever going to get you know, like DeMar DeRozan, he's
Speaker 2: a really good player, he's just not exciting. So when
Speaker 2: you say on Demorto Rosen's average in twenty seven, you go,
Speaker 2: I can't I can't remember one basket. And once again,
Speaker 2: that's not fair. I remember Adrian Dantley. If you're old
Speaker 2: enough to remember Adrian Dantley, he would give you thirty,
Speaker 2: but you don't remember any of his points and be like, okay,
Speaker 2: ad Marcaguire, hey man, that guy can score Alex English.
Speaker 2: You're like a guy I can score. Meanwhile, Alex English
Speaker 2: and Dominique Wilkins could average the same number of points.
Speaker 2: I would remember Dominique's I didn't remember Alex English's, but
Speaker 2: he was just that kind of methodical mid range jumper.
Speaker 2: It's like Durant has become a star, but he had
Speaker 2: to win to become a star, and I think that
Speaker 2: was the important thing. You know, Adrian Dantley didn't win,
Speaker 2: Alex English didn't win. If you win titles, then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden we look at you differently, and maybe
Speaker 2: that would change with shape guilty of Alexander, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 3: And if you look at Kevin Durant, he may not
Speaker 3: necessarily have above the rim highlights, but when you watch
Speaker 3: him play since day one, it's it's like a guy
Speaker 3: that tall shouldn't have those kind of handles, a guy
Speaker 3: that tall shouldn't be able to do everything all over
Speaker 3: the court.
Speaker 2: He's freakish in that way, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like when I was maybe a teenager, guys like
Speaker 10: Michael red Alley Houston great scores, but they weren't on
Speaker 10: Sports Center when you were doing highlights. Guys like stro
Speaker 10: Miles Swift and Kenyan Martin. Those guys were all over
Speaker 10: sports and there they were more famous than those guys
Speaker 10: that were averaging twenty five at night.
Speaker 2: Well that's when we thought if you could dunk that,
Speaker 2: you know, then you made the highlights or oh did
Speaker 2: you see that highlight? And then be like that is
Speaker 2: only two points of the game. Stro Miles Swift l issue.
Speaker 2: I believe, yes, seton.
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant doesn't need highlights because his whole being is
Speaker 6: like he just comes with the word unstoppable, and it's
Speaker 6: more like if he wanted to, he would score every
Speaker 6: time time down the court. And sometimes you're like, why
Speaker 6: don't you just do that? Why don't you just do that?
Speaker 6: But his whole being is a highlight because you can't
Speaker 6: do anything about it.
Speaker 2: What is Kevin Durant's career high like kid, probably mid fifties,
Speaker 2: maybe Keith Once again, I don't think you can guard him. True,
Speaker 2: I truly think if he came down and you let
Speaker 2: him put up forty five shots, he's he's gonna be
Speaker 2: over fifty percent. He's gonna give you sixty points.
Speaker 3: Yes, PAULI, We're gonna play the Kevin Durant career high
Speaker 3: points game.
Speaker 2: Quickly. Let me take a break. Oh, let me take
Speaker 2: a break. Yeah yeah, stuck in your car. That's gonna
Speaker 2: keep you in your car. Absolutely, We'll take a break.

Speaker 2: okay with that? No? That's probably whi Okay, let's play
Speaker 2: the Kevin Durant career high point total game. Dan, You're
Speaker 2: gonna play the first part.
Speaker 3: You have to guess the points for Kevin Durant and
Speaker 3: what team he was on when he did it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go sixty one for OKC.
Speaker 3: It was fifty five points was his career high whilst
Speaker 3: a Brooklyn Nets. His high with OKC was fifty four.
Speaker 3: His high with Golden State was fifty one. So he's
Speaker 3: scored fifty plus in three different uniforms. Now for the room,
Speaker 3: which team did Kevin Durant score fifty five against?
Speaker 2: Here's a hint. It's not a surprise. Yes, Marvin like
Speaker 2: the Hawks.
Speaker 5: That's the Hawks.
Speaker 2: I knew, Marbara dang Okay, has anybody scored fifty or
Speaker 2: more points for three three different franchises? Checking? Yes, Jamal Crawford,
Speaker 2: he had fifty for three different teams.
Speaker 15: I think four four. I think so he's a highlight machine. Entertaining,
Speaker 15: Yes he is. Didn't you say top ten most entertaining players.
Speaker 10: Let's not start it. I said second tier, all entertaining.
Speaker 10: I didn't say he was up there with doctor J
Speaker 10: and Dominique and MJ and Lebron and those guys.
Speaker 2: Larry Bird the top.
Speaker 10: Ten, second tier, second tier with like white chocolate in
Speaker 10: those guys not great?
Speaker 2: Was it white chocolate?
Speaker 5: We're not gonna start. We're having a good day.
Speaker 2: Jason Okay, Jason Williams underrated highlight reel.
Speaker 5: I don't think he underrated highlight highlight.
Speaker 2: Wise, I don't think he. I don't think he's second tier.
Speaker 2: Jason Williams white chocolate.
Speaker 5: You can put a first tear if you want.
Speaker 2: But I'm going in with how about his pickup games
Speaker 2: that he's still playing in? Now? Have you seen those
Speaker 2: pickup games when he's out there with these college kids?
Speaker 10: Look he did He did it behind the back pass
Speaker 10: and tossed it off his elbow.
Speaker 2: It was so movie the movie had with against Gary
Speaker 2: Payton and the glove. The glove was great, but that
Speaker 2: move where he was fake and something and Gary was like, well,
Speaker 2: and then he was pretty good, pretty good stuff, all right.
Speaker 3: Paul Jamal Crawford had fifty plus points four times in
Speaker 3: his career for four different teams, The Knicks, the Sons,
Speaker 3: the Warriors, and the Bulls.
Speaker 2: Stand the day style day.
Speaker 8: To day, Stana day.
Speaker 2: This is the style of the day. Want to you
Speaker 2: buy Panini America, the official trading car of the Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show. I can't imagine that anybody else's had even
Speaker 2: three teams, right, yeah, mar.
Speaker 10: Probably Wilt Chamberlain, was he other Warriors?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But how many teams did he play on? He played
Speaker 2: on the Warriors and the Lakers and the Sixers. Well
Speaker 2: they were the Philadelphia Warriors, so they would still be Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: He wasn't playing in Golden State. Yes, Paul, we're double
Speaker 2: checking this stat.
Speaker 3: But players who've had fifty plus points with three different
Speaker 3: teams in their NBA career Will Chamberlain three, Bernard King,
Speaker 3: never forget Moses Malone, Dan, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Lebron, James and of course Jamal Crawford. Okay, was Wilt
Speaker 2: with the seventy six ers and then also the Warriors,
Speaker 2: so they counted that is two different franchise I think,
Speaker 2: so we're double checking that. Okay, would you update the
Speaker 2: poll results Seaton from the first hour of the program
Speaker 2: that flew by.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised that, like James, Harden isn't on that list.
Speaker 6: As a dude whould put up points. He's played for
Speaker 6: a bunch of teams. I bet he's If he's not
Speaker 6: on that list, I bet he's close. Let's see, this
Speaker 6: is one of the more oddly specific poll questions we've
Speaker 6: ever had. But Texans aside, if the Lions were to
Speaker 6: reach the Super Bowl, who should they want to play?
Speaker 6: Bill's Chiefs or Ravens? Right now? It is a tie
Speaker 6: between the Bills and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, interesting question I'm gonna ask David Carr,
Speaker 2: former number one overall pick now NFL Network analyst. He'll
Speaker 2: join us. Coming up. Jason Garrett, former Cowboys head coach,
Speaker 2: has to have an opinion on Dion and Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2: Question mark one hour in the books. Two more to
Speaker 2: go in this meet Friday,
