WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Tom Curran (07-29-20) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.520 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one. On 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.480 this Wednesday, Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show will 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.320 check in with the Patriots. We'll check in with the 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:16.600 most decorated Olympian of old time, Michael Phelps a little 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.239 later on. And it all started when Rudy Gobert of 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.520 the Utah Jazz tested positive back in March. The Utah 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.840 Jazz Center will join us coming up a little bit 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.800 later on as well. We'll also check in with the 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:35.239 Miami Marlins, who are on hiatus until at least next Monday. 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.440 No baseball for the Marlins, and they're the team everybody 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.040 in Pro sports is worried about talking about. And maybe 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.519 the league should be watching the New England Patriots as well, 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.199 because several players have opted out for the season, and 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.800 it makes sense. In some of these cases, you have 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.360 some veterans. This was the oldest team in the NFL 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.400 last year. Guys have already gotten paid, they won a 0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:01.480 Super Bowl. Dante Highttower, he's opted out. It probably looks 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.000 around sees that Tom Brady's gone. His fellow linebackers from 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.960 last year, Jamie Collins and Kyle van Neuer gone, his 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:13.000 wife just had a baby, his mother has diabetes. One 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.720 season isn't worth it, certainly not now to him. And 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.920 every player has to consider the risk reward ratio here. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.679 Young players face a different set of decisions than the 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.600 older ones. But if a team starts to lose games 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.560 or players start dropping off, you'd think the incentive to 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.680 play will be dropping significantly as well. Then even more 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.640 players could leave and the competitive balance will be a concern. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.680 But then again, it's the Patriots. They could end up 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.280 twelve and four, but right now they face a serious 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.080 challenge keeping their run of success going. And you have 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.480 six players so far who have opted out, the McCardy brothers, 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.440 who are thirty two years of age. They might opt 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.800 out as well. But we'll talk to Tom E. Curran, 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.560 who covers the Patriots. And you started to get this 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:01.000 conspiracy theory of Oh Belichick. He's out smarting everybody. Maybe 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.440 they're tanking, systematically tanking so they can get Trevor Lawrence 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.880 next year. But we'll talk to Tom Kern about that. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.400 We'll come up with a poll question. Correct mclovin, We 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.440 got options whenever you're ready, Okay, hold on got a 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.960 stat of the Day Play of the Day coming up 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.880 as well.

Show coming up a 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.040 little bit later on this hour eight seven seven three 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.760 d P Show Email address dpat dan Patrick dot Com, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.880 Twitter headed a DP show. Say good morning to our 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.400 great radio affiliates around the country. Number three hundred and 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.240 sixty two. All right, mcloven wood, he for me today. Okay, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.520 you mentioned the Patriots. If you're a Pats fan, would 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.880 you rather be nine and seven or two and fourteen 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.399 and fourteen? Two and fourteen. I'll take the hit two 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.720 and fourteen. If I get Trevor Lawrence, I'm good, yes, boy, 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.800 I'm gonna tweak it then a little bit. If you're 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.000 a hardcore Patriots fan. In this season, you could have 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.440 one or two results. You can make the playoffs and 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.680 Tampa can miss the playoffs. So your team can make 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.240 the playoffs and Tampa misses the playoffs. Or you get 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:29.880 the number one pick of the draft. Oh, number one 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.440 pick in the draft. You know, a little vindication. You 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.280 know what vindication is. I got my quarterback for the 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.880 next decade. That's vindication because Tom will play two years 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.800 and then all of a sudden, you got Trevor Lawrence. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.000 I'll take the hit. My ego will be fine when 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.720 people go, hey, you guys only won two games. I know, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.920 and the Patriots select Trevor Lawrence out of Clemson. Yes, 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.080 and plus making the playoffs in New England. It's kind 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.000 of a failure, in't it the big football story? Though? 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.800 Aaron Rodgers he was speaking to Kyle Brandt on his podcast. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.600 Kyle works for the NFL Network. Aaron Rodgers, as you 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.920 have probably come to expect, it's extremely honest, he is, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.680 and he realizes his days in Green Bay are numbered. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.360 And here's some of the comments that he had with 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.720 Kyle Brant on his podcast about the GMS and what 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.760 they wanted to do in the draft with these draft picks. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.120 Just look at the facts. You know, they traded up, 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.480 they drafted them. I would say, they like them, they 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.839 want to play them now. I think quarterbacks are playing earlier. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.560 It gives some latitude for young coaches and gms to 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.159 play there, to play their guys. Also, he talked about 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.120 the Packers drafting his successor, Jordan Love. Was I bummed 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.599 out of course, who wouldn't be, you know, like, I 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.440 wanted to play my entire career in Green Bay. I 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.040 love the city. I grew up there Scots twenty one, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:55.800 I'm thirty six now, and a lot of changes during 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.800 that time. But look, I get it. I see it 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.400 completely clearly, and I'm not bit about it. It just 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.560 kind of is what it is. And he reacted this 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.400 way when he realized that the Packers weren't taking a 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.840 wide receiver. So he's taking inventory watching the draft, and God, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.960 what I'd love to have seen a camera on Aaron 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.520 Rodgers as he's watching. Imagine if he's he says, yeah, 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.479 you can put a camera on me, because he thinks 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.360 he's getting a wide receiver. And then they trade up 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.839 and he goes, oh, we're getting Higgins out of climpse. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.680 Are we getting somebody out of LSU? We're getting seedeed 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.640 Land and the Green Bay Packers select Jordan Love what 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.680 And this is how Aaron Rodgers reacted. Yeah, I got 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.600 a text on my agent. He just texted quarterback and 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.080 I was like, oh wow, okay, so I love Scott's 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.120 but I've been drinking some sipping tequila lady as well. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.080 And once I got that text, I went to the pantry. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:55.040 I poured myself, you know, about four fingers, and I 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.600 knew it was gonna be one of those nights where 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.240 the people are gonna start calling and there's gonna be 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.360 you know them and fine, okay, I'm like, yeah, fine. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.640 Like I said, I wasn't elated by the pick, especially 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.560 being one game away from the super Bowl and be 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.719 like we're a couple of players away. But at the 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.560 same time, I understands the business. I know that's that's 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:18.400 the reality. That is the reality, and he had to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.560 be that. That would had to be a puncture. You 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.640 start to go, you go from scotch to tequila, and 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.240 that's how you react on You didn't think you would 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.360 be doing that. You probably had a nice scotch there 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.400 to celebrate as you get CD Lamb or you know, 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.479 one of these wide receivers out of LSU or Clemson, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.839 any of the wide receiver. It didn't matter what wide receiver, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.039 you would have taken any of those guys. But when 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.279 you trade up, and of course the Packers aren't telling 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.440 Aaron Rodgers what they're going to do with that draft pick. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.920 But he's got to be excited, although it doesn't sound 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.120 like he was even watching the draft because his agent 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:03.760 text and says quarterback without any context, like what quarterback? 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:12.240 Huh No, no corner all cornerback? No, no quarterback. Oh, 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.040 I think I'm gonna switch to tequila here. Wow. But 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.960 that's Kyle Brandt's podcast courtesy of that Big Baseball story 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.520 last night, the Dodgers getting some payback on the Astros. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.720 They picked up the win. More importantly, they picked up 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.520 the win. I mentioned yesterday during the show that how 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.720 long would it take before the Dodgers buzzed the tower 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.520 on one of these players? And I got off the 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.239 air and a baseball source works for Major League Baseball says, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.239 you know what, given the shortened Serio season, he didn't 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.000 think anything was going to happen because you don't want 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.280 to get suspended. You can't afford to have somebody be 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:55.200 suspended for five, seven, ten days, and the fact that 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.720 you have a certain number of days to get these 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.960 games in. Didn't think that anybody was going to take 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.920 matters into their own hands. Well that changed. Joe Kelly 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.239 did that too, two of the Houston Astros and Carlos 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.440 Correa and Alex Bregman. I also was watching Pardon the 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.280 Interruption yesterday and Tony Kornheiser says, I can't see with 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.920 this shortened season, anybody you know, doing something stupid throwing 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.640 at the Astros. I'm like, they're going to throw at 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.800 the Astros. The question is do the Dodgers want to 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.280 put themselves in that situation? And obviously there's bad blood there. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.520 Joe Kelly wasn't with the Dodgers in twenty seventeen when 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.720 you had the signs stealing, but he was with the 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:43.000 Red Sox who lost to the Astros and to get 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.320 to be able to go to the World Series. And 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.880 Joe Kelly, you know, did a did a couple of 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.480 drive buys with those guys. And I know that we 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.319 always let players, baseball players, they police the game they 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.720 police themselves. You can't be throwing at somebody's head. You 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.040 can't throw nineties six miles an hour in somebody's head. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.959 If you want to hit him, you want to police 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.000 the game. Hit him in the hip, in the butt, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.240 in the back, and you can't be thrown a ninety 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.000 six mile an hour fastball. I don't know if Joe 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:21.360 Kelly was warned after the first pitch. That's what is 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.200 going to be the most surprising. I'm trying to find 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.199 out if he was warned, because I would have been 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.520 shocked if both both benches were not, both managers were 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.800 not told, Hey, I don't want anything up and end. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.520 I don't, you know, let's let's you know, let's be 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:44.199 professional here, because the Astros pitchers eventually have to start 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:48.640 sticking up for the Astros hitters. And that's where I 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.679 would worry. If I'm Dave Robertson and the Dodgers, I 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.439 don't want them throwing at my guys. If my guys 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.760 are throwing at their guys, hey, let's keep it, you know, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.600 under the shoulders here and you want to hit somebody, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.400 hit them with the breaking ball, but you're throwing ninety 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.200 six up top there's no excuse for that. There's no 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.160 place in the game for that. I don't like that 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.480 you have a pitcher able to throw a baseball in 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.200 the upper nineties at somebody, and that's supposed to be 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.160 part of the unwritten rules. I've never liked it. I 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.160 know that, you know, I sort of defer to them 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:27.360 policing the game, policing one another, Like you hit my guy, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.520 that means my guy's going to hit one of your guys. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.959 I understand the Astros are in for this season, and 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.199 you know they're going to get this in numerous situations. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.480 I understand all of that. Don't like it at all 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.840 because I think I always thought it was cowardly that 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.880 a pitcher who didn't have to bat could throw at somebody. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.280 Now that was before this year, where you know, you 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.320 know you have a DH this year. So you used 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.400 to be in the National League. If you threw it somebody, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.560 you knew you were coming to the plate, and they 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.280 could do that to you. In the American leg I 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.840 thought that they were cowards when you would throw and 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.480 hit somebody, throw at somebody and you never had to 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.480 come to the plate. But this year, no pitching, no 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.800 pitchers are batting at D's and I just don't like it, 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.600 don't like it at all. I think it's a cowardly 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.640 way out hit them if you want to that they 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.920 know it, you know it, and then there's gonna be 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.880 retribution on, you know, somebody on your team. What if 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.240 somebody pops Cody Belling journeys out for the year, because 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.680 that's the risk you run with this, and those pitchers 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:36.040 with the Astros eventually have to start throwing at the opposition. Yeah, Pa, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.559 do you think the baseball is an awkward position here? 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.000 Because if they decide to suspend Joe Kelly for five games, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.480 hypothetically the Dodgers come back and the Joe Kelly comes 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.720 back and says, oh, I got five games for hitting someone, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.839 but the other players and Astro has got zero games 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.960 suspended for cheating to win a rock series. I knew, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.199 but that's the baseball has to be thinking about it. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.679 But baseball didn't have a rule in place with what 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.199 happened with the Astros. They didn't know how to police 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.640 the Astros for the cheating and the organization, the manager 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.360 and the GM took the hit for those guys. But 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.920 that and if I'm Joe Kelly and I'm the Dodgers, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.000 and you sit him down for five days, I would 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.880 say the same thing. Oh I got five games for 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.440 hitting somebody. None of those guys got suspended for cheating 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.440 the game. I get it. I understand it. And it 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.760 wasn't one of the more bizarre bench clearing. It wasn't 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.200 a brawl, wasn't an altercation. It was like, you know, 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.800 when you have a party in your backyard and you 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.000 got you know, a bunch of people from the neighborhood 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.920 there and you're kind of, you know, discussing things a 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.920 little bit got a little heated there, but they got 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:45.480 their mask on. They're practicing social distancing as well. But 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.120 I think it's going to continue with the Astros. It 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.920 depends on who they play. But obviously you knew that 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.360 the Dodgers and Astros weren't going to play this year. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.880 They weren't scheduled to play this year, so due to 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.520 the pandemic, they changed it because of you know, the 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.640 geographical scheduling. Good for us to discuss something like this, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.800 But we'll have more on this coming up. We'll hear 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.480 from Dusty Baker his thoughts on his players getting hit yeah, points. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:13.760 I guess I want to ask you this before I 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:18.040 should say getting thrown at not here? Dodgers Astros play tonight? Yeah? 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:23.360 Should Will the Astros retaliate and then we'll revisit this tomorrow. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.040 I don't know how it works when you start the 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.400 game and you say the first pitch that I think 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.000 is getting squirrely, you're gone because you have to win 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.360 these games. That's the most important part. The Dodgers were 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.960 winning when this happened, and I think that's the important 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.960 part of this. You got to win the game, and 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.240 especially if against the Astros. But do I think it's 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.160 going to happen? Yeah? I do. Yeah. Can't you make 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.040 the argument that just take the high road and just 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.199 let it go? Do you have to retaliate? Okay, they 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.000 did their thing makes them look immature and obnoxious. So 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.720 we were cheaters and people are going to forever have 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.160 questions about our World Series. Let's just move on and 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.480 not perpetuate this and throw back at them. Um. I 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.320 don't think they see it that way. Tom You know, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.880 you being a reasonable man when you got your house egged, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.360 you didn't say, hey, come on, let me take the 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.080 high road. Kids will be kids. But my first thought 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.640 wasn't I can't. I got to find out who it 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.320 is so that I can egg their house. It was 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.960 just to you called the police, right because I want 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.640 to find out who did it. But I wouldn't have 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.360 an urge to, like then go get a dozen eggs 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:34.760 and pull up in front of the house and egg 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.000 their house. And maybe I'm in the minority I would 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.880 be able to, especially if it's some kid that's a 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.680 little immature and you do want to press charges. I'm 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.160 not gonna put a kid in jail or anything like. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.760 I want to the very least. I want to go 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.480 to the parents and say, you know, you might want 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.760 to straighten your kid out. This is what you did 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.160 the other they're they're not They're not going to jail 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.720 for egging, but you do want to press charges. You're 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.760 upset about that. I want something to be held accountable, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.120 But I'm not gonna have an eight year old like 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.560 I don't want to club. Sort of like the Dodgers 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.520 in the ass you're throwing. They threw it you, now 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.840 you want to throw it them. I think it's Houston smart. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.120 They wink at it and move on. I don't think 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.680 it's gonna happen. You have to protect your players, and 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.080 at some point the Astros pitchers are going to take 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.040 matters into their own hands and they're going to go 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.600 after some of the opposition. Yes, is there a difference 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.760 in whether you know Bregman or anyone in a Korea 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.680 whoever got hit versus almost getting hit as far as 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.680 factoring in whether you have to throw back at them, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.760 the fact that you didn't get hit maybe have a 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.440 better chance of saying, you know what, let it go. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:37.560 No one got hurt. But there's intent. There's intent. Now 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.720 Joe Kelly says, hey, you know my control is not 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.640 that good. Okay, But I know the commissioner has other 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.040 things to worry about, like do the Marlins play again 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.280 this season? What happened? Like the Marlins aren't going to 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.840 play sixty games this year. Imagine the Marlins were, they 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.040 were in first place, They're feeling really good about themselves 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.600 leaving Philadelphia. Now all of a sudden, they're not gonna play. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.440 Marlin's are two and one. That's a six sixty seven 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.360 winning percentage that they don't play again, they're gonna win. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.480 The condition they should just tap out, so they should 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.360 shut it down for the rest of the regular season. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.760 Safety first, it's like four corners. Dean Smith, all right, 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.120 what are you gonna what are you gonna put up 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.360 for a poll question? McLevin, Well, we have all sorts 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.880 of these, uh normal poll questions on big stories of 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.800 the day. But if you want to do that, which 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.080 defensive player twenty five hundred would you start your team with? 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.320 I think that could generate a lot of debate because 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.440 we had a little pre show debate about why Joey 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.040 Bosa is getting paid more than anybody ever. Joey Bosa 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.520 got a contract that I don't know. You know, they 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.320 keep talking about salary cap is gonna drop like twenty 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:50.440 or thirty million dollars and they the Chargers mahomes Bosa 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:57.000 Is that a verb? But they gave him this contract 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:01.560 and I went, wow, okay, the Chargers pay Joey Bosa. Yeah, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.240 McLevin has that such a non chargeless thing to do? Well, 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.080 Remember he held out and lived to tell about it 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.960 with the charges because if you yet, Melvin Gordon held 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.879 out and I had an NFL sort of say this 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.840 didn't gonna end well, and I said it on the air, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.800 This didn't gonna end well, and it didn't end well 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.040 for Melvin Gordon. Bosa holds out, still gets paid. And 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.400 then now they he's twenty five years of age, and 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.760 you could make a case he's on that short lived 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.760 He's in the top five of best defensive players. He's 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.480 being overshadowed though, I think by his brother because his 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.720 brother on a team that went to the Super Bowl. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.439 But Nick Bosa could have been the MVP if the 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.360 Niners had won the Super Bowl. But Joey Bosa at 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.439 age twenty five, and you start to look, you know, 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:52.240 Miles Garrett's twenty four, he's getting paid. T J. Watt 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.560 is twenty five, Jamal Adams twenty four, Jalen Ramsey twenty five, 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:02.600 Joey Bosa twenty five, Nick Bosa twenty two, the Naol 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.800 Hunter is twenty five. You got some pretty good, pretty 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.680 good defense. Who players there? Young defense? Who players there? 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.520 But Joey Bosa got paid? Is he the highest paid 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:18.639 defensive player now? So he surpasses what Khalil Mack I 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.560 think in most categories he's the highest paid. I think 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.960 Maaron Donald mac has its highest total or something. Okay, 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.000 but per year, is Bosa biggest bonus one hundred three 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:34.159 guaranteed man. Okay, Doug in North Carolina. Then we'll take 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.359 a break and check in with the New England Patriots. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.479 High Doug, what do you have for me today? Well, Dan, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.280 this could be a sad day in my life. I'm 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:44.000 considering resigning as the president of the Fritzie fan Club. 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.240 Wow wow. Large part it was because of the pizza thing, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.760 and then then learning he doesn't wear underwear, but the 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.119 not knowing the name of the Astrost manager may have 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.600 been the last slide. But I want to give him 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.920 one more chance. I see he's wearing a Broncos cap, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.520 so I'm wondering if he can name the head coach 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.400 of the Denver Broncos. So if he does, I'll stay 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:10.359 on as the head of the fan club. Okay, Todd Fangio, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.240 you got his first migo. Okay, Wow. I got nervous 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.520 for a second when he finished asking the question. Todd goes, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.879 oh black. I just got very pale because I'm like, 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.720 for a second, I didn't think of it. I needed 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.040 a few extra seconds. I get put on the spot 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.520 like that. I just I was like that when I 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.359 used to take tests in school too. I was like fine, 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:30.840 and then as soon as that paper got put in 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:32.560 front of me, and if I didn't immediately know the 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.840 first question, I'd stop panicking. Con you graduated second in 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.640 your class, I know, but I would have that initial 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.920 anxiety and panic, and then once I calmed myself down, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:41.840 I was able to breathe through the test, but that 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.280 initial fear, which is what I just experienced. If you 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.600 only would have remembered aj Hinch yesterday, I loved very 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.520 reacted to front Row said could I get his initials? 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.760 And when that's what helped me get It's like, why 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.320 are they acted like that over my question? Seaton and 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.840 Paulie got out of their seats. If you didn't get 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.880 vic Fangio, then I would probably tell you to go home. 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.000 Yeah yeah, I'd probably just ask you to leave and 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.520 then maybe just come back when the Marlins come back. Wow, 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.000 that's at least next month. Yeah, at least till next Monday. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.520 Just go home and study up on some sports, like 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:17.600 current sports, because if if there was well, there was 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:22.119 a category nineteen eighties sports questions when we had Sports Jeopardy, 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.680 and I knew the edits, but you have to time 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.080 the buzzer and I thought maybe it wasn't plugged in. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.040 I actually asked one of the technical people like during 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.200 the break to check to see if my stuff was connected. 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.280 So your button was not plugged in? Yeah, that's what 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.359 you think. It was a conspiracy. Everybody's was working and 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.080 mine wasn't because I had all the afterro Broncho, we'll 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.720 take a break here, Tom Kerrn will join us. Is 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:46.000 this some diabolical scheme that Bill Belichick is fronting here 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.480 with the New England Patriots and their players opting out? 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.600 We'll talk to Tom coming up here. It's twenty two 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.720 after the hour. Michael Phelps will join us in an 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.680 hour from now, and Rudy Gobert or the Utah Jazz 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.200 Center we'll stop by in the final hour of the program. 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.399 Back for this and The Dan Patrick Show. I've teamed 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.360 up with full Sale University. We've launched the Dan Patrick's 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.359 School to Sportscasting. We've had it for a couple of 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.080 years now. It's an accelerated bachelor's degree designed to teach 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.080 you all the aspects of sportscasting in front of the camera, 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.439 behind the camera, podcasting, radio, and everything in between. And 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.440
