Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Thursday, Dan and Mdane's
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Dick Vital will join us coming up
Speaker 1: in about fifteen twenty minutes or so, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: what kind of plans does college basketball have to get
Speaker 1: this season underway? And of course March Madness. John Calipari,
Speaker 1: Kentucky head coach will join us coming up as well.
Speaker 1: Spent the first hour a lot of it talking about
Speaker 1: Chiefs Texans coming up tonight and are the Chiefs a
Speaker 1: dynasty in the making. You know, if you go back
Speaker 1: to the postseason, they could have easily lost all of
Speaker 1: those postseason games. They trailed in all those postseason games.
Speaker 1: They trailed by double digits in those postseason games. But
Speaker 1: they came back, and they came back in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl down ten with seven minutes to go. A couple
Speaker 1: of plays here, a couple of plays there. Niners didn't
Speaker 1: make a couple of plays Chiefs did, and they're your
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. I don't know what the line is tonight, mclovin.
Speaker 1: Is Kansas City favored by more than four or five? Maybe? Yeah,
Speaker 1: check on that. I don't know. I haven't even looked
Speaker 1: at any of the point spreads coming up. I know
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady is an underdog for the first time
Speaker 1: in over seventy regular season games with the Buccaneers, and
Speaker 1: he's probably going to be without Mike Evans this weekend
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, McLevin, we're seeing nine. Oh okay, I'm
Speaker 1: big number, but I'll double check if that's an early one.
Speaker 1: If it's moved off that, no, it's probably right. I
Speaker 1: don't know why it was that generous with the Texans
Speaker 1: here going into that game, and it's not a revenge game.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth will
Speaker 1: frame it that way, because the revenge game would be
Speaker 1: if you beat Kansas City in January, not in September. Yes,
Speaker 1: mcclub see, I think it is a revenge game because
Speaker 1: they're going to forget by January, but that's their last game.
Speaker 1: They've been brewing on this game. Well, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're Kansas City, if you're gonna lose a game to
Speaker 1: the Texans, you want to lose in September, not in January.
Speaker 1: So I you know, is Kansas City not going to
Speaker 1: play as hard or the Texans gonna play even harder
Speaker 1: because it's a revenge game. Wouldn't you have played harder
Speaker 1: in the postseason game last year when you had an
Speaker 1: opportunity of twenty four to nothing. Wow? And I still
Speaker 1: go back to that play on the fake punt by
Speaker 1: Daniel Sorenson, and that's it's a sneaky great play. I mean,
Speaker 1: he did what he's supposed to do because your job,
Speaker 1: you know, his job, his assignment is you go where
Speaker 1: that the up guy is on the punt, and that
Speaker 1: guy was bouncing around a little bit and then Sorenson
Speaker 1: is just watching him and all of a sudden, and
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get him, they get thirty yards. They're
Speaker 1: in great position to add more points, and they would
Speaker 1: have been up maybe thirty one to nothing. And it
Speaker 1: was one play. You go back to one play and
Speaker 1: then that sparked them. Momentum changed, Kansas City's offense came alive,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs actually started playing defense, and the rest is history.
Speaker 1: You got a pull question, mcloven. We didn't have one
Speaker 1: in the first gyn, so we were debating what is
Speaker 1: the most likely team to go from worst to first?
Speaker 1: And kind of happens every year, So I'll look at
Speaker 1: the fourth place team in each division. Washington football team,
Speaker 1: who added nowhere is getting hype this week. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen any of it. They're like a
Speaker 1: lot of playoff dark horse whoa because they have like
Speaker 1: nine first rounders on their defensive line is why? But okay,
Speaker 1: so just because they got Chase Young, Chase Young, Montes
Speaker 1: sweat Jonathan Allen to Ron Payne, you know they had
Speaker 1: it last year. But people think that we're with Ron
Speaker 1: River there there'll be a much better team. Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a stat that everyone's dining out on with Washington
Speaker 1: that Dwayne haskins last couple of games were really good.
Speaker 1: They're separating his first bunch of games between his last
Speaker 1: two and that's like they're pinning that on his improvement. Well,
Speaker 1: he had a good final month of the season, and
Speaker 1: we pointed that out a couple of times. But I
Speaker 1: don't I'd have to look at what these other teams
Speaker 1: were playing for or But would I be surprised if
Speaker 1: Washington made the playoffs? I would be. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: think the Eagles are going to be as good. You
Speaker 1: never know about the Cowboys, the Giants, can they be
Speaker 1: a little bit better, I guess. And then you have Washington.
Speaker 1: I mean that was a wounded division last year. When
Speaker 1: you think about it, I mean the Eagles won it.
Speaker 1: I mean somebody had to win it. It was like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lost it. Yeah, mcclub okay. Next division, the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I would say the Lions have a better
Speaker 1: chance than Washington to make the playoffs. I think because
Speaker 1: of their offense and if Stafford stays healthy, then I
Speaker 1: would say they could sneak in. Because I don't know
Speaker 1: about the Bears, I don't know about the Packers, the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Vikings got as much talent as just about anybody in
Speaker 1: the NFC, But it's going to come down to Kirk
Speaker 1: d Cousins and how he's able to form in the postseason.
Speaker 1: That's one of those I don't care about the regular season.
Speaker 1: There's certain players like Lamar Jackson. I'm curious about the
Speaker 1: regular season, but if he is going to put up
Speaker 1: great numbers, we're going to say the following, well, can
Speaker 1: you win a playoff game? He's owing two? Yeah. Mclub.
Speaker 1: Next division in the Carolina Panthers. No, do we even
Speaker 1: need to put them on the poll? I think they're
Speaker 1: getting worse. I don't think that they're you know, and
Speaker 1: that might be by choice, but I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do any damage. Arizona Cardinals were last
Speaker 1: in the NFC. West Man, that's a it's such a
Speaker 1: tough division. As you said yesterday. Yeah, I think if
Speaker 1: they got close to a wild card, I think they
Speaker 1: could do a wild card. But you know, you got Seattle,
Speaker 1: You've got San Francisco. I don't think the Rams are
Speaker 1: going to be great. I don't think they're gonna be good.
Speaker 1: You know, if they're average, you know, can Arizona be
Speaker 1: a little above average? They maybe win nine games? Now,
Speaker 1: you know you have DeAndre Hopkins in there. If Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: is still there, Kyler Murray, does he take that next?
Speaker 1: You know that quantum leap that we sometimes see from
Speaker 1: first year to second year players. And if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then Arizona could be one of the surprise teams. I
Speaker 1: would say Detroit out of that group, unless you have
Speaker 1: another one. Well, I'll give you the four AFC once.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, Bengals, Chargers, and Jaguars were last place teams
Speaker 1: last year. Maybe the Dolphins being in the mix there.
Speaker 1: I guess because I don't expect too much out of
Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't think the Patriots are going to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You got weird quarterbacking situations with all
Speaker 1: of those. So two is not going to play? Burrow
Speaker 1: is a rookie. When does Justin Herbert play? Gardner? Minshew
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville? So I guess the Chargers. But you know
Speaker 1: the Chargers are already banged up, and you know Tyrod
Speaker 1: Taylor's your quarterback? But for how long? And what else?
Speaker 1: Jaguars question? If I gave you thirty to one odds
Speaker 1: that they go oh in sixteen? Would that bad interest you?
Speaker 1: Are they a possible oh in sixteen? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: If I put up one hundred, I get three thousand, Yeah,
Speaker 1: double check that. I know the odds are big. I
Speaker 1: know it's a popular bad out there. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're going to go winless like the Lions did a
Speaker 1: few years ago. The Browns, I mean, they won six
Speaker 1: games last year. I'm gonna look at, you know, three
Speaker 1: wins for him, maybe four wins. I have a quote
Speaker 1: from this time last year where Peter King says the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins are gonna be galactically bad. He was on
Speaker 1: our show. He said galactically bad Dolphins and that they
Speaker 1: could go. Oh in sixteen, Dolphins won what six games? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're five and eleven, and they were considered going into
Speaker 1: the season a complete tank job. And they caught my
Speaker 1: attention when they beat the Patriots in New England and
Speaker 1: a game that New England had to have, and I went, wow,
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, I don't know what he was doing, you know,
Speaker 1: because they traded away players make of Fitzpatrick, so Laramie Ton,
Speaker 1: so like they traded away they're known players, and you
Speaker 1: still had Ryan Fitzpatrick. And somehow, some way they were
Speaker 1: able to make all of that work and he got
Speaker 1: the most out of that team. I think that we're
Speaker 1: expecting a little too much out of the Dolphins this year. Now.
Speaker 1: I want to see if two of plays. I hope
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. I hope he plays when he is
Speaker 1: ready to play, not that they need him to play
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy. Like if keeping him out
Speaker 1: longer makes him stronger and better, I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: But he is in a great situation with Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: because Fitzpatrick will be very helpful, beneficial for two of him.
Speaker 1: So what's the pole question? Okay, So we're putting up
Speaker 1: right now, most likely worst to playoffs team, and I'll
Speaker 1: give you those eight division losers. I also wanted to
Speaker 1: put up an NFL MVP pole, but I don't want
Speaker 1: you to have to give away your super Bowl pick, okay,
Speaker 1: because I'm afraid if I said who's gonna be in
Speaker 1: the MVP Mahomes, Jackson, Brady, Breeze, Wilson, Prescott, Brady Watson,
Speaker 1: that's the odds. I put Brady in twice. Sorry, do
Speaker 1: you have? Is the MVP going to be your super
Speaker 1: Bowl winner? Is that how it works? Or is it
Speaker 1: possible that it's like a Lamar Jackson situation? My MVP
Speaker 1: will not be on my super Bowl pick, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna let you guess my MVP pick. Next hour,
Speaker 1: I'll let you guess, because then I'll give you my
Speaker 1: super Bowl pick. I think you might have hinted at
Speaker 1: your MVP pick earlier this week. You've said a couple things,
Speaker 1: You've laid out some bread crunks. I didn't know you
Speaker 1: listened to the show, mclovin, but I think I know
Speaker 1: your MVP and I have no idea your Super Bowl
Speaker 1: pick the Lakers and Rockets coming up tonight, obviously the
Speaker 1: Texans in the chiefs and adjust your viewing pattern. The
Speaker 1: Lakers Rocket starts at seven, so they don't compete with
Speaker 1: the NFL game. Raptors beat the Celtics and double overtime.
Speaker 1: Clippers up three one on the Nuggets in a pretty
Speaker 1: performance by the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard, once again, you know,
Speaker 1: we keep we brought this up a couple of times
Speaker 1: where hey, shouldn't we vote vote on the MVP after
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Well, while we go, that's a four guine
Speaker 1: conclusion that Lebron's going to be your MVP. That's not
Speaker 1: the case. Kawhi Leonard has been great and if the
Speaker 1: Clippers would win the title, he's your MVP, not Lebron.
Speaker 1: As much as I think Lebron, you know, should have
Speaker 1: been a closer vote because I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be a blowout with a Greek freak, you know, Lebron
Speaker 1: has been great and kind of reinvented himself this year.
Speaker 1: LSU will allow fans at their games. I guess twenty
Speaker 1: five percent. Do we need to have the number? PAULI yeah, twenty,
Speaker 1: which equals about twenty five thousand. The Braves have just
Speaker 1: scored again. They have now scored forty nine runs on
Speaker 1: the Marlins. They're up forty nine to nine in that game.
Speaker 1: That is not true, it's twenty. They scored twenty nine
Speaker 1: on the Marlins last night, and yes they were swinging
Speaker 1: for runs in the late innings there. On paper, the
Speaker 1: Celtics seem to have had the advantage over the Raptors.
Speaker 1: You know, they're more versatile, they're younger, and you could
Speaker 1: argue they're more talented after Kawai left, but the defending champions.
Speaker 1: After losing Kawai, they ended up with the second best
Speaker 1: record in the NBA and they were down three games
Speaker 1: to two in the Eastern Conference. Simmis. They found their
Speaker 1: way Wednesday night to survive Kyle Lowry one time playoff
Speaker 1: goat was great and you know Norm Powell stepped up
Speaker 1: last night. He got hot Fred van Vleet. They played
Speaker 1: big minutes there and now the Raptors remember when they
Speaker 1: went down O two and we started to wonder, like
Speaker 1: if you go down O two and the Bucks went
Speaker 1: down O two, and we said, who's more likely to
Speaker 1: come back? And I said, Toronto is because they know
Speaker 1: what they need to do. They've been there before. I
Speaker 1: liked their coach, and we were saying that backcourt with
Speaker 1: Fred Van Vleet and Kyle Lowry and here they are
Speaker 1: going to a game seven against the Boston Celtics. But
Speaker 1: here is Kyle Lowry after the game saying that this
Speaker 1: is what you need to do to win that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do it. It takes to win basketball games. I mean
Speaker 1: tonight myself, Pascal freddie Og played fifteen minutes, man, Like
Speaker 1: that's big time. That's a big time stuff. That's what
Speaker 1: takes to win backs, win a game like that, and
Speaker 1: we did whatever we need to do. For me, it's
Speaker 1: just about playing basketball. Yeah, it's playing minutes and everybody
Speaker 1: contributing there. There was an interesting exchange, at least I
Speaker 1: found it interesting. Michael Porter junior, he's the Nuggets forward
Speaker 1: and it feels like he's been in the NBA for
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes and he's he could be a really
Speaker 1: good player, had great hype coming out of high school,
Speaker 1: went to Missouri, hurt his back, but still mid first
Speaker 1: round draft pick by the Nuggets. He scored fifteen points
Speaker 1: in the first half last night, and then he didn't
Speaker 1: get many shots in the second half, and he had
Speaker 1: this to say about the offense of the Nuggets, what
Speaker 1: are you looking to do to get yourself more involved
Speaker 1: when you're not touching the ball? I mean, that's really
Speaker 1: up to the play cause it's really up to the
Speaker 1: coaches who they want to put them put the ball
Speaker 1: in whose hand? We kept going to Yoaka Mall. There's
Speaker 1: there're two amazing players. You can never get mad at that.
Speaker 1: But I just think to beat that team, we gotta
Speaker 1: get more players involved. We got to move the ball
Speaker 1: a little bit better. We can't be predictable against that team.
Speaker 1: And then somebody followed up that answer, Mike, are you
Speaker 1: at a place I know it's your rookie year, but
Speaker 1: are you in a place where you can voice that
Speaker 1: that concern and that thought to Malone or do you
Speaker 1: just kind of just let him dictate? Nah? I think
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm gonna be out there on the
Speaker 1: floor playing a lot of minutes, I think I should
Speaker 1: voice that. So I probably talk. I'll probably talked to
Speaker 1: the coaches, you know, just tell them what I see
Speaker 1: being out there on the floor, just letting him know.
Speaker 1: Look like they know what we're doing, like, we got
Speaker 1: to swing the ball. We got a lot of players
Speaker 1: who can play basketball and score, so we gotta get
Speaker 1: some more guys of all. Okay, So Michael Porters saying
Speaker 1: that their coach doesn't know what's going on out there
Speaker 1: and he needs more touches. If you if you want
Speaker 1: to talk to your coach, going through the media not
Speaker 1: the way to do it. And Michael Porter Junior, the
Speaker 1: third is not build up any house credit here. You
Speaker 1: started eight NBA games in your career. How about we
Speaker 1: get a couple more games under your belt there for
Speaker 1: calling out the coach that he doesn't know what's going
Speaker 1: on out there and you need more touches. But the
Speaker 1: media guy, the follow up guy, was a great question
Speaker 1: because he saw blood in the wall. Oh yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: these I love when these athletes say these things. I
Speaker 1: would caution them privately and just say, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're going to call out a coach, I'd say, talk
Speaker 1: to the coach, because this won't go over well with
Speaker 1: a coach. Malone. Yes, if you're a Malone, do you're
Speaker 1: getting his face about it? Ignore it? How do you
Speaker 1: deal with that? I would just say to Michael, hey,
Speaker 1: let's win the next game. All right, we'll get we
Speaker 1: can we can discuss this at some point. This is
Speaker 1: not the time to do it. I know what's going
Speaker 1: on out there. So he's saying, you know that somehow
Speaker 1: the Clippers know, Uh, Jokich and Murray are going to
Speaker 1: get the ball. Wow, that is some great scouting on
Speaker 1: the Clippers part. Wait, the Joker and Jamal Murray are
Speaker 1: gonna get the you know, inordinate amount of shots. We're
Speaker 1: so predictable. I don't know if I want to take
Speaker 1: the ball out of their hands to put it in
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Jr. The third hand, but he has a
Speaker 1: a high opinion of his talents. Sarah Suton did the
Speaker 1: Nuggets coach play professionally because I felt like there was
Speaker 1: another sort of hidden jab there too where he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, as a player being out there what I
Speaker 1: see They're like, Wow, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Malone, you know, had one of those journeymen overseas
Speaker 1: kind of careers, because if they, if he did, his
Speaker 1: Wikipedia really skips over it where he basically graduated college
Speaker 1: and then became an assistant coach. Yeah it Peers. He
Speaker 1: played for the Loyal a Greyhounds basketball team for a
Speaker 1: few years, started a bunch of games as a point guard,
Speaker 1: but then he went right into the coaching realm. Why
Speaker 1: is it that you have to play the game or
Speaker 1: you have to be really successful for the coaches to
Speaker 1: players to respect their coach. Well, there is something to
Speaker 1: be said though about having actually played an understanding that
Speaker 1: mindset and playing at a higher level than somebody who's
Speaker 1: watched the game their whole life. Red Arback didn't play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well there's yeah, there's certainly exceptions. Phil Jackson didn't play
Speaker 1: at a high level. He played in the NBA. He played.
Speaker 1: Pat Riley didn't play at a high level, but he
Speaker 1: did play in the NBA. Right. I just felt like
Speaker 1: it seemed like there was another dig in there too, though,
Speaker 1: like as a player being out there and what I see,
Speaker 1: Yeah I missed z. Yeah. Yeah. Balichick barely played. He
Speaker 1: played at a college where was like Division three B
Speaker 1: Wesley end I barely had a football team. He's not
Speaker 1: really a player, no, But you know, Lawrence Frank was
Speaker 1: a manager. He was the basketball manager I think in Indiana,
Speaker 1: and he ended up being a successful NBA coach. So
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if like some of the
Speaker 1: best players aren't good coaches, right, But I wonder if
Speaker 1: there's any football coach or like NFL football coaches who
Speaker 1: never played a down of football, like not even grade
Speaker 1: school or high school. Oh well, I wonder if that
Speaker 1: would want extreme, that'd be almost impossible to not play
Speaker 1: at least Pop Warner. Yes, wouldn't you kind of be
Speaker 1: like if some media critic who never hosted a day
Speaker 1: of radio in his life was like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: here's how you should be doing your radio show, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, dude, what do you don't even know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about? Well, they have, and it's always like, men,
Speaker 1: shut up, dude, you don't even no clue what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Well, there are media critics that I respect
Speaker 1: with their approach when they critique you. It's when somebody
Speaker 1: who I don't respect you when you know and you
Speaker 1: want to critique me then and you're like, you're a hack.
Speaker 1: Shut up. Yeah. We once had a media critic sit
Speaker 1: in and host this show at least a decade ago,
Speaker 1: and to turn the tables. This media critic asked me
Speaker 1: to review his performance filling in for you, and I
Speaker 1: gave him a decent score. I actually pumped it up
Speaker 1: a little bit to protect his ego, and I got
Speaker 1: a call saying, really, you gave me a B minus,
Speaker 1: a B minus, and that as like, dude, I should
Speaker 1: have given you a D plus because it wasn't good.
Speaker 1: And that's the last time we spoke. Yep, you can
Speaker 1: fill in the place. But yeah. Media critics don't take
Speaker 1: being criticized that well, well, they think it's easy. What
Speaker 1: happens is, if you're really good, you make it look
Speaker 1: and sound easy and it's not. You know, but that's
Speaker 1: like the brilliance of Bob Costas is he makes it
Speaker 1: look easy and it's not. It's like stand up comedy.
Speaker 1: There are guys who just make it look so simple,
Speaker 1: like you just get up there, Hey, I just deliver
Speaker 1: some jokes. There, I know where this is going. Oh
Speaker 1: whoa one, there's the other guy and then there's the
Speaker 1: other guy. Can make it look like the hardest thing ever.
Speaker 1: But Jeff Garland funny Man said, you have to do
Speaker 1: five hundred hours just just to you know, be average
Speaker 1: as a commedian. How many hours have you done, Todd four,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I did a full hour, if
Speaker 1: you add up there. You know, three appearances there was Minnesota, La,
Speaker 1: New York, in Atlanta. I don't know if that ended
Speaker 1: up to a full hour. Yeah, Sue, I know that.
Speaker 1: If I'm the coach of Denver Nuggets today, I'm like,
Speaker 1: so what, so tell me what you meant? Hey, Bud
Speaker 1: Whyn't you come sit down here for a second. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about this. So okay, you're not getting up touch,
Speaker 1: so tell me what you meant by that. How about
Speaker 1: you come up with a game plan there, Michael, can
Speaker 1: you come meet in conference room B of a Flamingo suite?
Speaker 1: You know, don't be afraid to guard Kawhi Leonard. How
Speaker 1: about that? So let's talk about that. Let's take a break.

Speaker 1: Let's go to tie in New York. Hi Tai, what
Speaker 1: do you have for me? Dan Patrick? Six to one
Speaker 1: point guard one eighty five spectacular. It's funny because I've
Speaker 1: picked up some of your your colloquialisms like spectacular and fantastic.
Speaker 1: But with the Raptors in Celtics, I think the game
Speaker 1: change when Fred dan League got closed out on turned
Speaker 1: his ankle, knocked down two three's in a row. Before that,
Speaker 1: the team was asleep. A box gam of the bench
Speaker 1: gave them big minutes. And the common theme for me
Speaker 1: watching as an aspiring scout is that rats teams is
Speaker 1: having a hard time applying to knockout punch to teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know there's something missing there, but you know, you're
Speaker 1: going against the defending champs, and I didn't expect them
Speaker 1: to bow out easily even when they were down two.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think we panicked when we came
Speaker 1: in that next day and said, you know, the Bucks
Speaker 1: I knew were in trouble, but that's just because I
Speaker 1: thought the Heat were a better team. And watching the Raptors,
Speaker 1: Raptors are going to be you know, they're taking them
Speaker 1: to a seventh game. You know, give credit to them.
Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up. Dick Vital has a new book.

Speaker 1: are you, Dick, Well, it's great being with your dad.
Speaker 1: I got a little problem with Zoom and at least
Speaker 1: we're talking. Buddy. Hey Dad, you were missus Zanesville. I
Speaker 1: took the buddy of mine Larry Wade, and Larry Wade says,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I know Dad. He said, my wife
Speaker 1: is related to him, Susan Wade. They said, you a
Speaker 1: hero in Zanesville. Well, they still talk about my jumper
Speaker 1: in Zanesville, Ohio. Dick. But you know that's that's Uh,
Speaker 1: that's normal around There's a lot of cities around the
Speaker 1: country that Dayton. They still talk about that as well.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this about Dayton. You mentioned my
Speaker 1: book the last season. I have a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: in here about Dayton, obviously because could it being should
Speaker 1: have been. They played, you know, Kentucky's, Carolina's. We'll hear
Speaker 1: about devil offhen But a team like Dayton was so
Speaker 1: special last year and I felt so bad for those kids.
Speaker 1: And the people can get my book down. I want
Speaker 1: to just clarify one thing. If they go to dick
Speaker 1: by Tell dot com, they can get autograph copies. Every
Speaker 1: dollar that I would make quite the book is going
Speaker 1: for kids battling kids. So we just had our gala.
Speaker 1: We just said it virtually and we raised seven point
Speaker 1: four million dollars to now give us thirty seven million
Speaker 1: since we started to gala, and it was bit's been great.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get you out here one time, my Fred.
Speaker 1: You'd have a great, great time with a bunch of
Speaker 1: beautiful people. It's just really been terrific. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you this, I missed you big time at ESPN
Speaker 1: because you're one of the special greats at ESPN, especially
Speaker 1: when I was there at that time. You're always so
Speaker 1: good to be with, good to talk with, at to
Speaker 1: join you. You know what, the first time I met
Speaker 1: Dicky V and he was this was during March Madness
Speaker 1: and he was on the set. I think Sienna had
Speaker 1: just upset Stanford with Todd Lichty. Does that sound right, Dick, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sounds right to me. Yeah, Todd Locky was from a player. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a great story. And I remember all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Sienna upset Stanford and Dicky V is to Howie, Howie,
Speaker 1: get me something on Sianna, get me something on Sianna
Speaker 1: right now? You know Howie Schwab, you know the great
Speaker 1: how He's running stats up there, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm going, yeah, welcome the ESPN. This is great, This
Speaker 1: is great. But we had so much fun during those days.
Speaker 1: But we still do. You know, you're doing great at
Speaker 1: what you're doing it, and I just really, uh, I'm
Speaker 1: just excited to be getting man in terms of you know,
Speaker 1: I'm eighty one years old, that dad, I act about twelve.
Speaker 1: I just got off the tennis square played singles that
Speaker 1: I want shoving five man. You haven't to bring on,
Speaker 1: bring on Djokovic. I don't throw, I don't hit, boil
Speaker 1: the line. I just did. I have the lunch just
Speaker 1: when I played. But what the bottom line is, I'd
Speaker 1: like to be active and keep active, and the book
Speaker 1: is keeping me active. Now. You mentioned Howie how he
Speaker 1: did all the research in a book, and I did
Speaker 1: it with Dick Wits, and it's something I really loved.
Speaker 1: But hey, I'm telling you, my friend, we need the
Speaker 1: NBA action has been off the charts. That's seventh game
Speaker 1: between Toronto and Boston is gonna be unbelievable. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you about the reason why you did the book,
Speaker 1: because I wondered I was hoping that the NCAA, the
Speaker 1: selection committee would actually put out a bracket of what
Speaker 1: could have been. And then people said, oh, that's cruel
Speaker 1: and unusual punishment to the players. I said, no, not
Speaker 1: playing as cruel and unusual punishment. I think just the
Speaker 1: hypothetical of what could have been, what the matchups would
Speaker 1: have been, would have been fun to see. What do
Speaker 1: you think of that? Yeah, yeah, no, I think you
Speaker 1: make a great point here, and that's what we do
Speaker 1: in a book. In my last chapter, the fantasy chapter,
Speaker 1: we do a whole thing. We play out the games
Speaker 1: we could think to score, who's gonna win, and we
Speaker 1: come down to an actual plane four, an actual winner
Speaker 1: in a whole bit and you know, it just fun.
Speaker 1: It's just one person's opinion. It certainly very subjective, but
Speaker 1: I think people like doing that. People enjoy that question
Speaker 1: that I have right now. I'm really concerned, you know,
Speaker 1: are we gonna have basketball? I gotta believe we're gonna
Speaker 1: have it. I think the optimism is great about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping to pray we have it. But you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta have a March madness. We have to. We
Speaker 1: can't go two years in a row without it. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll have any fans in here, but
Speaker 1: who knows. Well, I know one thing, Dad, it's great
Speaker 1: to be living here in the tamp area. But I
Speaker 1: really so, you know what, I'm really ticked off though.
Speaker 1: Here's the time I had season tickets now for the
Speaker 1: Bucks for years, that season tickets for the Raised for years.
Speaker 1: I go, I'm great friends with the Lightning coach John Cooper.
Speaker 1: What a time the Lightning is gonna win the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, right Now I don't know not
Speaker 1: about hockey. I know what I'm saying. Well, you play
Speaker 1: with pride and you play with passion, and right, I
Speaker 1: gave a talk I told John Cooper when I spoke
Speaker 1: to them before the playoffs all started. I said, you're
Speaker 1: gonna beat Tony Bennett. You're gonna be Tony Bennett. You're
Speaker 1: gonna do what they did in Virginia. Virginia gets beat
Speaker 1: in the first round. Remember they get beat by a
Speaker 1: sixteen seed umbc and they want they don't whine about it,
Speaker 1: cry about it. Tony handles a classy. They come back
Speaker 1: the next year to win the national title. Well, last year,
Speaker 1: people follow the Lightning weren't terrific. They had a great
Speaker 1: regular season, but they get beat four straight by Columbus.
Speaker 1: They get bounced out of the out of the NHL playoffs.
Speaker 1: This year they were the finals. Right now with the Islanders.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, mister Patrick, I don't know hockey, but
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they are going to win. And John
Speaker 1: Cooper is going to be the Tony Bennetts of hockey. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you can, if I send you have the power
Speaker 1: to pick a Tampa team to win a title. This year,
Speaker 1: the Rays, Lightning or Buccaneers. Oh I picked the win. Well,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going Lightning. I'm going to Lightning. Even
Speaker 1: though I think I made the Rays. The Yankees we
Speaker 1: have two hundred million dollar payroll, may not even make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Possibly, And here's the race. And I said
Speaker 1: it before the season. I said, this team won ninety
Speaker 1: six games last year, and they got better. They got
Speaker 1: better talent now than they had it then. And right now,
Speaker 1: the four up on Toronto, not the Yankees. Four up
Speaker 1: on Toronto, six up on the Yankees with about seventeen
Speaker 1: to play. And this team is legit. Man, we have
Speaker 1: to put her on top of great relief bitches. Defense
Speaker 1: is tough, and I Tay Cash does a great job.
Speaker 1: At the payroll. I mean, god, we could have paid
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick. Are you kidding me? Are broll? Wow? He's
Speaker 1: Dick Vital the Hall of Famer the last season and
Speaker 1: look at what the journey to the twenty twenty National
Speaker 1: Championship could have been. It's available online where books are sold.
Speaker 1: All proceeds from the sale of the Law Season donated
Speaker 1: to the v Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Research. The ACC
Speaker 1: Coaches came out yesterday unanimously voted to include everybody that's
Speaker 1: three hundred and what over three hundred and fifty schools
Speaker 1: to be in the in the tournament. Here. What do
Speaker 1: you what do you make of what the ACC is
Speaker 1: trying to do here? You know, Dan, I spoke to
Speaker 1: Mike yesday Shashevski, and I think what they do with
Speaker 1: is creating some interest in basketball. We got you talking
Speaker 1: about it. I was on show, this bablic Okay show.
Speaker 1: They talked about it. The bottom line is they are
Speaker 1: people talking, but that's not real. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: That's no way. First of all, you got rewards success,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't reward success. And I just I'm not
Speaker 1: a big fan of that proposal at all, but I
Speaker 1: just hope. I think we may have a smaller field,
Speaker 1: if anything, and who might maybe a bubble situation. Who
Speaker 1: knows how they're going to handle that. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: we gotta put it in the hands of the experts,
Speaker 1: because really is the number one priority has got to
Speaker 1: be the health and safety of everybody involved, you know.
Speaker 1: And saying that, let me just say this to our
Speaker 1: nation man, right now, we need more love, Dan, We
Speaker 1: need more people like you, optimistic people passionate about what
Speaker 1: they do. We need more love, We need people hugging
Speaker 1: one another. We need people caring. I learned to my home.
Speaker 1: My mom and dad were uneducated the fifth grade. But
Speaker 1: it always tell me Richie never addictive. Was Richie be
Speaker 1: good to people, and people would be good to you.
Speaker 1: And then they would always say, treat people like you
Speaker 1: want to be treated. If we won't treating each other,
Speaker 1: would respect and love and feeling and said it is
Speaker 1: hate that's out there, it would be such a better,
Speaker 1: better situation for all of us, well, said Dicky V.
Speaker 1: I hope you're well, hope Lorraine is well, and the kids,
Speaker 1: and keep keep Howie Schua busy down there. Okay, I
Speaker 1: am just tell people please go to Dick fighttown dot

Speaker 1: new book, The Laws Season, because I'll do anything to
Speaker 1: raise money for kids. Thirty seven million to be raised

Speaker 1: That's Dick Vitel the Hall of Famer once again. The
Speaker 1: book is the Last Season. Look at the journey of
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty National Championship and what it could have been.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to give away the ending there
Speaker 1: with Dicky v in his final four in his national
Speaker 1: title pick, but he did what I thought that the
Speaker 1: selection committee should have done. And you know, just give
Speaker 1: us something to talk about. We lost the tournament. Give
Speaker 1: us something to talk about what could have been. We
Speaker 1: know that we lost the season, we lost March Madness,
Speaker 1: but have people still talk about college basketball? Put the
Speaker 1: brackets out, you know, and it wouldn't have been the
Speaker 1: exact science there, but it would have been fun. Yeah, point,
Speaker 1: I felt really bad because a lot of people are
Speaker 1: jumping on a Dayton bandwagon. Obie Toppin was fun to watch.
Speaker 1: And even though Dayton's not a you know, they're not
Speaker 1: like a what is it? What was the one in
Speaker 1: Chicago Loyola. Yeah, they're a bigger, better program historically than
Speaker 1: like a loyal Alla kind of came out of nowhere. Well,
Speaker 1: Dayton's played for a couple of national titles. Right, they're
Speaker 1: a serious basketball program. But they would have been the
Speaker 1: darling of the month probably so and Obi Toppin is
Speaker 1: going to be a lottery pick, could be a top
Speaker 1: five pick. And it was a it was a nice surprise,
Speaker 1: I think for that community, you know, and Dayton's a
Speaker 1: wonderful basketball town, great basketball town, and uh, Dayton was
Speaker 1: you know, they were legit. They were probably going to
Speaker 1: be a number two seed. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: were going to be on the one line, but I
Speaker 1: think they were what eighteen and oh, they were a
Speaker 1: formidable team. There, we'll talk to John Calipari. He'll join
Speaker 1: us coming up next hour. Let me get to Anthony
Speaker 1: and Florida. Anthony, what's on your mind today? How you
Speaker 1: doing for the time? A long time? All right? Well,
Speaker 1: well eleven and just real quick. I'm a mailman out
Speaker 1: here in the Panhandle of Florida, and you make my
Speaker 1: mornings go a lot, buy a lot better, sir. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Anthony. What can we do for you? Uh?
Speaker 1: Pie of the face for Redskins are sorry? The warh
Speaker 1: Ston football clubs are wild car teams. You're gonna take them?
Speaker 1: Does anybody want a piece of Anthony's bet that Anthony's
Speaker 1: gonna take a pie of the face if the Washington
Speaker 1: Football Club, uh don't make the playoffs as a wild
Speaker 1: car team? Yes, me club. So saying Washington doesn't make it,
Speaker 1: he's he's got him making the playoffs. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like Seaton wanted to jump in there, but
Speaker 1: he's already got an easy pie. See, he's got one
Speaker 1: that he got from yesterday. I'm not I'm not making
Speaker 1: the bet with the radio is going over nine and
Speaker 1: a half. I'm not doing Yeah, that was that was
Speaker 1: not a good bet. I don't think yesterday, but yes,
Speaker 1: Todd is not going to be in the playoff. Todd
Speaker 1: is actually gonna step Okay, So Anthony, your bet is
Speaker 1: with Todd, with the Washington Football Club not making I'll
Speaker 1: get my daughter. I'll let my daughter throw the pie
Speaker 1: in the Facebook. And she's nine, so she'll have a
Speaker 1: blast bet. Yeah, as long as we get the video
Speaker 1: of it. That that's all we care about. Yes, heton
Speaker 1: not to be a stickler o. But then he said
Speaker 1: that they would be a wild card team not make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So just in the odd chance that they
Speaker 1: actually play better than that, and are they just make
Speaker 1: the playoffs but are better than a wild card? I
Speaker 1: just want to clarify because you know how this goes, Anthony.
Speaker 1: How about they just make the playoffs? Okay, there you go. There,
Speaker 1: we we've clarified that. Yeah, yes, pot, I say, if
Speaker 1: Todd loses that bet, he would have to go there
Speaker 1: and do the Anthony's mail route. You've got to go
Speaker 1: to the Panham would be kind of nice. Yeah to
Speaker 1: the fine print there time I didn't read that part.
Speaker 1: That's okay, I'm still there. It has to be the
Speaker 1: surest of sure bets for Todd. Do somehow want a
Speaker 1: wager like a pie to the face or wheeled upon it?
Speaker 1: Not a big gambler, not a big risk taker. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I realize you're very, very conservative, and I've
Speaker 1: still had a lot of trials and tribulations in my
Speaker 1: life with my very careful approach. Not if I actually
Speaker 1: took a risk, multiply that, but you you don't. When's
Speaker 1: the last time you really took a risk? The last
Speaker 1: time I really took a risk? I think I stopped
Speaker 1: by the local gym and I was considering going in
Speaker 1: there to touch the weights that other people have touched,
Speaker 1: even though it was at like twenty five percent capacity.
Speaker 1: And I got back in the car decided not to work.
Speaker 1: What is the wildest thing you've done in your life?
Speaker 1: The wildest thing I've done? I think I was about
Speaker 1: seven or eight years old. I was playing football in
Speaker 1: the snow with my friends, and the ball went over
Speaker 1: the fence into like a street where this car's going around,
Speaker 1: and I attempted to go get the football, even though
Speaker 1: it was kind of a busy street there, and forget
Speaker 1: about the cars. I got my pants stuck at the
Speaker 1: top of the fence trying to climb it, because I'm
Speaker 1: not a big fence climber, as you guys would be
Speaker 1: shocked to here, and the bottom in my crotch area
Speaker 1: got stuck in the top little pointy parts of the fence,
Speaker 1: and I was hanging upside down by my pants for
Speaker 1: a solid twenty minutes until someone got out of their
Speaker 1: car and unhooked me while my friends were hysterical laughing
Speaker 1: about that. That's the wildest thing you've ever done in
Speaker 1: climbing a fence as a child to get a lost ball,
Speaker 1: I got in a fourth grade fight with my friend Eddie.
Speaker 1: We kind of threw we kind of pushed each other
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I might have shoved them down
Speaker 1: a small flight of stairs. But outside of that, doesn't
Speaker 1: get much, doesn't get crazy like that. That couldn't make
Speaker 1: the top one million things that Satan's done in his life.
Speaker 1: I just I just don't do anything up. He's got
Speaker 1: much better, more exciting stories. My time at dn't Yu
Speaker 1: came and went taking the train back and forth. And
Speaker 1: but your wildest thing you've ever done is you climbed
Speaker 1: the fence as a seven year old, and you got
Speaker 1: your crotch stuck at the time. Well, there was Simone
Speaker 1: when I was like nineteen and she was thirty four.
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna get into the graphic date. That
Speaker 1: was pretty wild, but that's not risk taking. That was
Speaker 1: like an obvious that's a wild thing, right, But that
Speaker 1: was that was but an obvious thing to participate. And
Speaker 1: I wasn't taking any kind of gamble like being a
Speaker 1: part of that scene. But it was a wild thing.
Speaker 1: It was a wild thing. You and Simone, Yeah, got
Speaker 1: some scars to prove it. Scars, but yeah, what you
Speaker 1: whatt the crew to tailor what? You brought the vegetable
Speaker 1: platter up to her condo and she said, you said
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna get into the details. You've got one
Speaker 1: story in your life that's really my store. That is
Speaker 1: Simone and the crew detay. Yeah. See, you know what
Speaker 1: else is a huge risk? Do the Texans try to
Speaker 1: pass against the Chiefs tonight? Ours try to bring it back.
Speaker 1: I'll see what he's doing, got ringerbacks football. That's a
Speaker 1: big risk. We're gonna take a break. We'll be back
Speaker 1: after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Speaker 1: You guys, I told you my soup and my MVP
Speaker 1: of the regular season does not play on my Super
Speaker 1: Bowl either one of my Super Bowl teams. Does anybody
Speaker 1: want to guess who my MVP is for this upcoming season?
Speaker 1: No hints? And do we have a poll question? McLevin?
Speaker 1: Is that is that football related? Yeah? We have who's
Speaker 1: most likely to go from worst to first or worst
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Okay, the Detroit Lions are actually running away
Speaker 1: with it, as you mentioned, Cardinals second place and Chargers
Speaker 1: Dolphins less than one percent of the Jaguars. Peter King
Speaker 1: has the Dolphins making the playoffs. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: have the Patriots making the playof but I could see
Speaker 1: I could see the Lions. It's just because I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about the Bears. I'm not sure about the Packers.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sure about the Vikings. Yeah, mclen I
Speaker 1: have an MVP. Guess. Okay, is it a friend of
Speaker 1: the show, Russell Wilson? Russell Wilson is your pick? Todd,
Speaker 1: you have a pick? Initially was gonna say Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go Baker Mayfield is gonna have some
Speaker 1: huge season, and you're gonna go with Baker and Baker Mayfield. Okay,
Speaker 1: see O'Connor, I was gonna say Cam Newton, Cam Newton
Speaker 1: will be tough being the MVP if you don't make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Pauly Ester, Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz, one of
Speaker 1: the one of you is correct? This Andrew is correct. Yes,
Speaker 1: Andrew is correct. I was gonna say, who of you
Speaker 1: thinks you're correct? If Russell Wilson Junior the third will
Speaker 1: finally become an overnight sensation after a decade in the NFL. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was basically mostly on an Hour two segment from
Speaker 1: about four days ago, and you sort of hinted that
Speaker 1: the narrative was going to lend itself to Russell this year,
Speaker 1: like it's time. Well, it's weird how that this has happened.
Speaker 1: You have a coach Seattle, I think throws the fewest
Speaker 1: passes in the first quarter. I'm sure there's stats, but
Speaker 1: I'd love to know what the numbers are for Seattle
Speaker 1: in the first, first quarter, first half, because they have
Speaker 1: to be at the bottom of the list, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they've sort of panic and they go, look,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, Russ go out there and win it
Speaker 1: for us. I'd love to see if they allowed him
Speaker 1: to open it up a little bit and not have
Speaker 1: to wait until the fourth quarter. But uh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's my pick. Jeff and Detroit. Hey Jeff, what do
Speaker 1: you have for me today? What's going on down one
Speaker 1: time for chat row Um, just calling you. Unfortunately this
Speaker 1: morning we lost one of our own, Jay Dot passed
Speaker 1: away a significant other to Alicia, who is a big
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick listener from my understanding back to the ESPN day,
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to, uh, you know, send our
Speaker 1: love and prayers out to this. You know, she just
Speaker 1: might be listening to the show, so just you know,
Speaker 1: send our prayers out to comfort her and our family
Speaker 1: in the time of me. Like, now, I got a
Speaker 1: question for you. I'm getting ready to I have to
Speaker 1: take a bet before the game starts. Who do I
Speaker 1: get on Buffalo Bills versus a top of bat Bucks?
Speaker 1: Who will do better? Now I'm swaying towards the Bills,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking that if I can go ahead,
Speaker 1: because it's just that one particular isolated bet and it's
Speaker 1: been put out there so I could you know, it
Speaker 1: swings favorably in my direction if I take the bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to. I don't like giving betting advice, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I don't, but thank you for the phone call. I don't.
Speaker 1: I get nervous about that because I don't get any
Speaker 1: credit when I'm right, but I get a whole lot
Speaker 1: of blame when I'm wrong, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I'm a club. It's kind of tough
Speaker 1: to bet Josh Allen's gonna win more than Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: It could very well be, but that's just feels so
Speaker 1: weird to say something like that. What could be Buffalo
Speaker 1: is going to win more than Tampa instead of Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is going to win more than Tom, because then
Speaker 1: it feels like I could say head to head matchup there.
Speaker 1: Super Bowl picks coming up, new poll question as well,
Speaker 1: headlines that you can't see happening in the NFL. We'll
Speaker 1: have that for you coming up. And John Calipari Final
Speaker 1: Hour coming up.
