Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Dodgers blanked the yank the Yankees. They hope that they
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to blank the Yankees. The Dodgers blank
Speaker 2: the Mets, and show hey, Tani hits another postseason home
Speaker 2: run and it sounded like this.
Speaker 3: The pitch is hit high in the air right field,
Speaker 3: hooking toward the pall, and this ball.
Speaker 2: Is fair and gone.
Speaker 3: Show hey old Toni unloads a three run home run
Speaker 3: here on the top of the eighth inning, his second
Speaker 3: of the postseason, makes it seven nothing.
Speaker 2: LA, no doubt her. The only doubt was if it
Speaker 2: was going to stay fair. We just had John Smoltz on.
Speaker 2: He said from their vantage point, it was fair. Am
Speaker 2: five to seventy. LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network with the call.
Speaker 2: On this day. In two thousand and four, David Ortiz
Speaker 2: hit a walk off against the Yankees that was a
Speaker 2: two on homer in the twelfth inning. Boston won game
Speaker 2: for the Alcs. That started the great comeback there and
Speaker 2: the guy who was part of that comeback, Dave Roberts,
Speaker 2: was with the Red Sox, had the big stolen base
Speaker 2: against Marianna Rivera later in the series, and Roberts was
Speaker 2: asked about postseason baseball in New York.
Speaker 4: You are a part of some pretty important LCS history
Speaker 4: in New York.
Speaker 5: What's it like to be back in New York in October?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it feels great. It's you know, you live to play,
Speaker 6: you know, in October baseball, and certainly this market is
Speaker 6: always fun. I love beating that team across town. I
Speaker 6: think everyone on this side of town does too. And yeah,
Speaker 6: it's it's it's a great, it's it's great. You know,
Speaker 6: there's just really no better place. And I'd rather be
Speaker 6: no place in the world than right here in New
Speaker 6: York right now.
Speaker 2: And it was magical because I was doing Sports Center
Speaker 2: and I saw Yankee players, Red Sox players, Red Sox
Speaker 2: players congratulating the Yankees, and I was shocked at that.
Speaker 2: So they hadn't completed the sweep, but they were already
Speaker 2: congratulating them. Some two players were congratulating the Yankees about
Speaker 2: going to the World Series. And then you had some
Speaker 2: magic and then it continued.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mark, the David Robert, the David the Dave Roberts
Speaker 5: stolen base is that same.
Speaker 2: Game, oh okay against Rivera Yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Jorge Posada threw He threw that ball perfect
Speaker 5: the second base and Roberts just barely beat it.
Speaker 2: Yes, one of the biggest stolen bases in postseason history.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, I'm just watching the replay. I don't think
Speaker 4: I remembered how close that throw was. I would have
Speaker 4: yelled it out.
Speaker 2: At Yankee Stadium. Yeah. Yeah, uh, just just every game
Speaker 2: after that. I saw Spike Lee in the stands along
Speaker 2: the first baseline every game I was doing Sports Center,
Speaker 2: and then you know, we in between breaks on Sports Center,
Speaker 2: and he would say, who do you like? And I said,
Speaker 2: every game after that, so it's three to one. I said,
Speaker 2: I like the Red Sox, and he goes, I'd see
Speaker 2: him the next game, who do you like? I like
Speaker 2: the Red Sox. And then you know, we got to
Speaker 2: the game seven and he goes, I'm not even going
Speaker 2: to ask you who you like. I said, I like
Speaker 2: the Red Sox, And uh, just what a wild, wild
Speaker 2: time that was, because you're thinking, man, the Red Sox
Speaker 2: are never going to do this, They're gonna They're getting
Speaker 2: embarrassed here, they're getting roughed up, they're getting crushed, they're
Speaker 2: getting embarrassed. And then big Poppy's home run, what that
Speaker 2: meant when he hit it, and just you talk about
Speaker 2: riding a wave of emotion, momentum, and it just didn't
Speaker 2: feel like they were ever going to stop. Like we
Speaker 2: got to the World Series and it was so much
Speaker 2: an anticlimactic moment. It was a boring World Series. It
Speaker 2: was a sweep and I don't think we ever thought
Speaker 2: the Cardinals could win, and that proved to be true.
Speaker 2: But I just remember, you talk about something that's tangible,
Speaker 2: like momentum is like you can't really put your hands
Speaker 2: on it, grab it, put your arms around it, but
Speaker 2: you know it's there. And then you saw it and
Speaker 2: you saw it in a team that then started to believe.
Speaker 2: And I remember when the Dodgers when Kurt Gibson hit
Speaker 2: that home run, And you want to talk about a
Speaker 2: team that was already an underdog against the big bad
Speaker 2: Oakland A's and nobody thought that they could win this series.
Speaker 2: They didn't have any real stars. They had Oral Herscheizer
Speaker 2: and then Gibby Homer's and then you see, you can
Speaker 2: just see it, feel it, sense it that it's there
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, It's like when Tyson got
Speaker 2: hit by buster Douglas and he loses his mouthpiece, like
Speaker 2: he was never the same after that because they took
Speaker 2: away his invincibility. Who's the female UFC fighter, Ronda Rousey
Speaker 2: when she got knocked out, it had left, she was done.
Speaker 2: She would never have that invincibility. Connor McGregor. All of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you get your ass kicked and then you're
Speaker 2: never the same. We don't look at you the same.
Speaker 2: And that's what it felt like with the Yankees. That's
Speaker 2: what it felt like with the Oakland A's against the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: It's like, we're not afraid of you, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: put you on your heels. We're gonna make you start
Speaker 2: to think. Because Oakland that felt like a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 2: That team was loaded, and you just had that momentum.
Speaker 2: And there have been moments through history that I've been
Speaker 2: able to witness where you go, oh my god, it
Speaker 2: just changed, like that just changed. Ohio State against Miami
Speaker 2: National Title Game, like you could feel the momentum all
Speaker 2: of a sudden change. Willis mcgaye, he gets his knee
Speaker 2: blown out all of a sudden, It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: you could just sense Ohio State started to believe that
Speaker 2: they could beat one of the more talented teams we've
Speaker 2: seen in college football history. But that's the magic of sports,
Speaker 2: where one moment, one game, one swing, and then it
Speaker 2: changes everything, and it certainly did back in two thousand
Speaker 2: and four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, I'm just watched back on YouTube the eighty
Speaker 4: eight World Series Kirk Gibson's homer for the Dodgers Game one,
Speaker 4: and Vin Scully's on the call, thank god, And after
Speaker 4: he comes out, Vin Skelly just lays out, he goes, well,
Speaker 4: if you look at how he's walking, it's all or nothing.
Speaker 4: Anything in the infield or even in the outfield. He's
Speaker 4: not getting the first base bang.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Eck was so dominating and he just Gimmy
Speaker 2: was looking for one pitch and you know, he sat
Speaker 2: on that pitch and one armed it out to right field.
Speaker 2: But I think seeing those moments in real time for
Speaker 2: forty years to be able to go, oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: this just changed, and to be there at Yankee Stadium
Speaker 2: and that feeling where you know, Okay, we're going to sweep,
Speaker 2: and then you're not going to sweep and you're going
Speaker 2: to beat RIVERA big poppy Homers. Okay, that's just one game. Well,
Speaker 2: they couldn't separate one game from the next game, from
Speaker 2: the next game from the next game when the ball
Speaker 2: goes through Buckner's legs. And then there were a couple
Speaker 2: of rain rainout days, and then you had Game seven
Speaker 2: and you were wondering, could that momentum, you know, continue
Speaker 2: with the Mets. And I think the Red Sox led
Speaker 2: in that bruce Hurst I think was on the mound,
Speaker 2: you know, he was dealing, and then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden they came back and they ended up winning that.
Speaker 2: So you just have these moments, and there have been
Speaker 2: so many of them. I'm just off the top of
Speaker 2: my head trying to recall where you have something where
Speaker 2: you can actually pinpoint it, you can sense it, you
Speaker 2: can feel it in the building, and that's what's so magical. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 5: Netflix has a documentary about the Comeback from the Red
Speaker 5: Sox premiere in October twenty third, so perfect timely.
Speaker 2: They didn't ask me, Oh, I'm sorry, I was right there.
Speaker 5: There's been a couple of documentaries. I'm like, huh, yeah, you're.
Speaker 7: Not in it.
Speaker 2: Well, the Jordan one, that one I should have been
Speaker 2: in Pete rose M.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was around Pete a lot. Yeah. They even wrote
Speaker 2: a recent book on Charlie Hustle and never reached out
Speaker 2: like we had. I had access to him that from
Speaker 2: a national perspective, nobody had, and I was surprised at that.
Speaker 2: And then all the interviews I did with Jordan, but
Speaker 2: you know, for whatever reason, and I've been told there
Speaker 2: are reasons why certain people weren't in that documentary. Whether
Speaker 2: it pertains to me or not with Jordan, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but uh, yeah, I still enjoyed it. But I was there.
Speaker 2: I did as many of his highlights. I did more
Speaker 2: of his highlights than anybody did, probably myself and Stuart Scott.
Speaker 2: And then I was out there covering those playoff games
Speaker 2: and you know, his championship. So yeah, just moments like
Speaker 2: that where you're just like damn, being in the building
Speaker 2: and being able to experience it and actually seeing history
Speaker 2: and history changing right in front of you because you're like,
Speaker 2: this team's gonna win, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: something happens you go, this team is not gonna win.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mark, going back to Dave Roberts, is he in
Speaker 5: the Malcolm Butler category as far as he is revered
Speaker 5: in his city off of one play, almost like Mookie Wilson.
Speaker 2: Well, he didn't win, he didn't win the championship. Malcolm
Speaker 2: Butler won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying you'll never forget that play. Maybe
Speaker 5: I'm not wording it right. Not they won a championship
Speaker 5: because of that. But in Boston, whenever he goes back
Speaker 5: to Boston, he'll get a standing ovation because they'll never
Speaker 5: forget that stolen base.
Speaker 2: Unless it's the Dodgers against the Red Sox in the
Speaker 2: World Series, then he probably won't get a standing.
Speaker 5: Well, you don't have to worry about the rest in the world.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is interesting.
Speaker 4: I'm looking back at Dave Roberts playing career, and you know,
Speaker 4: he bounced around over ten years. You know, had some
Speaker 4: seasons where he played a lot. He was in Boston
Speaker 4: for half a season, forty five regular season games and
Speaker 4: then that postseason. But it does feel like he's branded
Speaker 4: of that one night in Boston.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow. Well, there's certain franchises like Bucky Dent is
Speaker 2: always going to be Bucky f and Dent, you know
Speaker 2: with you know, the with the Yankees, Boone with his
Speaker 2: home run the Yanks. But the Yankees, Yeah, they've had
Speaker 2: so many of these moments, Like they have to take
Speaker 2: kind of the Yankees out of the equation. They've they've
Speaker 2: had all of these. Don Larson through a per game,
Speaker 2: You'll have these moments with the Yankees with all their championships.
Speaker 2: It's when you have a team a city that wins
Speaker 2: a championship and somebody contributes where they're not the star,
Speaker 2: but you couldn't have won it without them. NBA has
Speaker 2: a lot of those players where you needed that guy
Speaker 2: or those guys in the history of that franchise. You
Speaker 2: remember them, maybe you know, the average casual sports fan
Speaker 2: may not, but then you go, oh, remember he hit
Speaker 2: that shot. Like Robert ori Orio is always going to
Speaker 2: be remembered for two different franchises with hitting big shots.
Speaker 2: But his career, you know, it wasn't a full career
Speaker 2: as far as you know, being a great player, but
Speaker 2: what he did for those who else uh Pasing Paxing
Speaker 2: Kerr Yeah, uh, Derek uh Yeah, Fisher will be in
Speaker 2: there too.
Speaker 4: Going back to David Tyree with the New York Giants. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's from Livingston, New Jersey and he went to Syracuse.
Speaker 4: So It's not like he's from Alabama and was going
Speaker 4: to move back home. He could stay in Livingston, New Jersey,
Speaker 4: and I'm sure he could pick up autograph signings or
Speaker 4: they bring up events with the around the Giants. He's
Speaker 4: on lifetime Hall pass and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 8: That's like the kind of dude who opens a restaurant
Speaker 8: or something, or like a bar and you fill it
Speaker 8: with memorabilia and you're like, heck, yeah, man, come down here.
Speaker 8: I'll just I'll be there every night.
Speaker 2: All you need to do is have that football on
Speaker 2: his helmet. Yeah, exactly, Just put it up there like
Speaker 2: you would a moose or a bear.
Speaker 8: Say hello to some people, be like, yeah, that game
Speaker 8: was awesome, right, Yeah, that was a hell of a catch.
Speaker 2: Yeah I know. Yeah, he's sick. You want the pasta
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 9: Great?
Speaker 10: He could know who is TOMMYO Oh my god, that
Speaker 10: was arguably the most hilarious fifteen minutes of fame in
Speaker 10: recent memory.
Speaker 2: Tommy the vit though his agent, Oh my god, is
Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito still on the Giants roster?
Speaker 8: You still can't convince me that that whole thing wasn't
Speaker 8: a bit.
Speaker 2: It did feel almost like this is a made for
Speaker 2: TV type play.
Speaker 8: It was for TikTok or something in that. I just
Speaker 8: didn't know the account.
Speaker 2: Tommy Davitto is still on the Giants roster just in case,
Speaker 2: in case of emergency break glass, But didn't he when
Speaker 2: you're gonna get paid a certain amount of money to
Speaker 2: show up at a pizzeria and then he wanted more,
Speaker 2: and all of.
Speaker 8: A sudden he had a good game there, like it's
Speaker 8: twenty five grand.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Oh, I don't know if it was DeVito or the
Speaker 11: agent jumped in and decided let's get twice as much
Speaker 11: money and ends up making him look bad.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing the agent played probably a larger role in that.
Speaker 8: Out of Delio's today, like, yeah, man, we don't have
Speaker 8: that kind of mine.
Speaker 2: I'm going to Jersey, Mike, so I'm going to be
Speaker 2: there signing autographs here or at a Nunzio's.
Speaker 8: Yeah, dude, we're just selling slices of pizza.
Speaker 2: How much money do you possibly want?
Speaker 4: According to The New York Times that wrote a story
Speaker 4: about this, by the way, of course, it was Consiglio's
Speaker 4: old fashioned pizza and Morristown seating.
Speaker 2: A hot bet of pizza hot bed.
Speaker 4: Okay, they announced on social media. After having a deal
Speaker 4: in place to have the Vito at their restaurant on
Speaker 4: an off night, a Tuesday night, the owners had the
Speaker 4: quarterback's agent call back and doubled the appearance fee from
Speaker 4: ten grand to twenty grand. And they said twenty grand
Speaker 4: is too steep for two hours of pizza eating and handshaking.
Speaker 2: It was all settled, though, Yeah, I don't even know
Speaker 2: did he get to fifteen minutes of fame? Because he
Speaker 2: had that opportunity there and all of a sudden, my
Speaker 2: wife's asking me. Being Italian, she goes, who is this
Speaker 2: Tommy de Vito? And I said, oh, he's with the Giant. No,
Speaker 2: I'm hearing it like this is a big thing. I go, no,
Speaker 2: it's not. Hunt it's gonna go away quickly. How do
Speaker 2: you know that? You know? Like she gets defensive, like
Speaker 2: she's she's going to defend every Italian quarterback, Dan Pastorini,
Speaker 2: Benny Testa Verdi, what about Dan Marino? But I said, no, no,
Speaker 2: he's just it's it's kind of a passing thing. Hun, Okay,
Speaker 2: you sure, I go, yeah, I'm sure. She goes, it's
Speaker 2: not an Italian thing, and I go, no, it's an
Speaker 2: Italian thing, Tommy the Viat and that she hated. When
Speaker 2: I do that, I say, hey, Tommy the Vita though, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 5: He was going to be on the wall as South
Speaker 5: famous pizzeria. Yeah, the right thing. Get all the Italian
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. Tommy DeVito's up there.
Speaker 2: Tommy de Vito was up there all right. Let me
Speaker 2: take a break. A former Laker calls out the Lakers
Speaker 2: and they said, this person, they're not serious about winning
Speaker 2: because they did one thing in the off season. Have
Speaker 2: that for you? Coming up next, Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1: Show, Fox Sport This radio has the best sports talk
Speaker 1: lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
Speaker 1: Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search
Speaker 1: FSR to listen live.
Speaker 2: I watched the Lakers Golden State the other night. I
Speaker 2: wanted to see Dalton connect and Uh, he's good. He's
Speaker 2: he's gonna be in the rotation and he can hold
Speaker 2: his own create create eight off the dribble, and he
Speaker 2: can definitely hit some threes. I think he had five threes. Now,
Speaker 2: I know it's preseason basketball, but I like to see,
Speaker 2: you know kind of body language there, Are you comfortable?
Speaker 2: And it certainly felt that way. Where he's out there
Speaker 2: and he knows, hey, they're going to expect me to
Speaker 2: do some things. I did see where Demarcu's cousins, who
Speaker 2: won a championship with the Lakers, said that the team
Speaker 2: drafting Brownie James, they're not serious about winning.
Speaker 12: I don't really think the Lakers are serious anymore. You know,
Speaker 12: everything that it stands for. I think, you know, Whatebron
Speaker 12: is doing with his legacy and just you know, as
Speaker 12: a businessman and everything that comes with it. I think
Speaker 12: I think it's a beautiful thing. I think it's really
Speaker 12: really dope. But as far as the Lakers actually competing,
Speaker 12: I don't know. I take that as a sign as
Speaker 12: they aren't really serious.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the Run It Back podcast. Chandler Parsons Michelle Beadle. Okay,
Speaker 2: does he have a point here because they used a
Speaker 2: late second round pick on Lebron's son that they're not
Speaker 2: really serious? I think they got maybe a Steel and
Speaker 2: Dalton connect in the first round. Could you say that
Speaker 2: they brought in JJ Reddick? Are they serious because they
Speaker 2: don't have somebody with coaching experience or somebody who's friends
Speaker 2: with Lebron. I guess you can always point the finger
Speaker 2: and say, do they need to do this? Why did
Speaker 2: they do that? You still have Lebron, you still have
Speaker 2: a d I mean they have the nucleus there to
Speaker 2: be a competitive team, a good team. Now, are they
Speaker 2: going to be the class of the West. No, because
Speaker 2: you got to you gotta worry about some of these
Speaker 2: other teams, like Houston is coming up, like you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to deal with some of these other teams that
Speaker 2: you normally don't. Memphis is gonna be with John moranp uh,
Speaker 2: do the Pelicans figure it out? Minnesota is gonna be
Speaker 2: really good. Denver is, you know, a good team. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're a championship team anymore, but you know,
Speaker 2: the Suns still have a nucleus. I mean there's a
Speaker 2: lot going on out here. But I don't think drafting
Speaker 2: Brownie James means you're not serious. Now this let's go
Speaker 2: back in history where you had teams who drafted Carl
Speaker 2: Lewis got drafted in the NBA, pat Riley once got
Speaker 2: drafted in the NFL, I think by the Cowboys. Now
Speaker 2: these are later, these like are eighth round, ninth round,
Speaker 2: when you had drafts that are a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: The fact that it's a two round draft. Do you
Speaker 2: look at this and say, well, they're not really serious.
Speaker 2: I think they are. If I want to keep Lebron happy,
Speaker 2: I want to keep Lebron playing, and he's still playing
Speaker 2: at a very high level. We see this. Look at
Speaker 2: what's happening with Aaron Rodgers, I mean Aaron Rodgers saying
Speaker 2: this is what I want. It feels like Lebron has
Speaker 2: a better chance of winning a championship that Aaron Rodgers does.
Speaker 2: You do one thing for him. You bring in his son.
Speaker 2: He wants to stay, wants to play, and you're still
Speaker 2: must see TV. You know you're the big draw in town.
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it. I don't think
Speaker 2: it means they're not serious.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mart, if they spent their first round pick on
Speaker 5: BRONI then I'd be with you for sure. But in
Speaker 5: the history of the NBA, the fifty fifth pick, no
Speaker 5: one's out there like, oh, I can't believe you took
Speaker 5: him with the fifty fifth pick.
Speaker 2: Okay, so well, wait a minute, the joker when was
Speaker 2: he selected.
Speaker 5: Like the forty first pick? Okay, well, for the Laker's sake,
Speaker 5: they better hope that the fifty six fifty seven. The
Speaker 5: eighth pick doesn't turn into nicole joke.
Speaker 4: If Kevin mccullor Junior becomes an All Star, Yeah, someone's
Speaker 4: in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that this means they're not serious.
Speaker 2: You don't how many late second round picks do you
Speaker 2: actually go? Boy, they better do that. They better hit
Speaker 2: on that one. You know, it's kind of a all right,
Speaker 2: maybe you got somebody who can contribute. I don't expect
Speaker 2: Bronnie James to play. I think he'll be up for
Speaker 2: kind of a ceremonial national TV. Let's let dad and
Speaker 2: son play, but he should be in the G League
Speaker 2: learning how to play. Dalton Connect is going to be
Speaker 2: the guy who contributes for them, or he better be.
Speaker 2: That's where if you whiff on that that, you know,
Speaker 2: that makes it worse than you drafted Bronni in the
Speaker 2: second round. I have no problem with it. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's pretty cool that it happened. He had
Speaker 2: the power to ask for that. You even had Golden State.
Speaker 2: Golden State was thinking drafting him and they said no,
Speaker 2: out of respect for Lebron they weren't going to do it. Okay,
Speaker 2: I thought the Phoenix Suns were going to take him,
Speaker 2: and I thought he might go at the end of
Speaker 2: the first round. Now do I think he's a first
Speaker 2: round talent, No, not yet, but I think that there
Speaker 2: is there's an avenue for him to contribute eventually with
Speaker 2: the Lakers. He's not a star player, probably not going
Speaker 2: to be anywhere near a really good player, but he
Speaker 2: might be able to contribute. And if it keeps lebron
Speaker 2: engaged then and you still feel like he's worth it,
Speaker 2: then you know, I don't have any problem with that
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 5: Yes, Martin Bronny could be like one of those guys
Speaker 5: where who would like Jack Haley, Like, look, whatever team
Speaker 5: Dennis rob is on, bring Jack Haley because that's his boy.
Speaker 5: Keep him happy.
Speaker 2: I know Jack was great during timeouts, you know he
Speaker 2: would he'd be excited.
Speaker 5: Like he might be a locker room guy. Yeah, Kevin
Speaker 5: Aley played in the NBA for eighteen thousand years because
Speaker 5: he was just a good locker room guy.
Speaker 2: And around See, I wasn't a good locker room guy.
Speaker 2: You know, That's probably why nobody no, because I was
Speaker 2: always complaining and I wasn't getting to play, not getting shots.
Speaker 2: That's not a good locker room guy. Yeah.
Speaker 8: See, I don't know if we like if it was
Speaker 8: really looking back now, if this is really true or not,
Speaker 8: but it feels like that DeMarcus Cousin's Pelicans team from
Speaker 8: like twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen, they were so close
Speaker 8: to being really good and we're just okay.
Speaker 2: He had a moment. I now he got injured.
Speaker 8: He did get injured, but they had Anthony Davis, Drew Holliday,
Speaker 8: uh Rondo was there.
Speaker 2: They had a moment.
Speaker 8: Mecca Okafour who didn't really work out, but they It
Speaker 8: feels like they were so close to Meir Nelson. They
Speaker 8: were so close to having a team, didn't.
Speaker 2: Cousins average like twenty four one year Paulie.
Speaker 4: He had four different seasons where he averaged over twenty six.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, he's almost underrated, undercovered. He did a lot
Speaker 4: of his work in Sacramento, which has witness protection that
Speaker 4: in the day, but at age twenty seven, that team
Speaker 4: Seaton's talking about Marcus coverage average, Cousins averaged twenty six points,
Speaker 4: thirteen rebounds, and six assists. There's not many people who
Speaker 4: ever done that stat line. He he had about a
Speaker 4: five year run where his stats were as good as anybody.
Speaker 8: He ended up getting hurt, right, yeah, yeah, but man,
Speaker 8: they were so close. You have to imagine that when
Speaker 8: they that team starts piecing together that you're like, oh, dang,
Speaker 8: we got something here, especially with Cousins and Davis at
Speaker 8: that age.
Speaker 5: Man, Kentucky, I know, that's all I think about him,
Speaker 5: John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patrick Peterson.
Speaker 2: And they didn't win a national title and he gets
Speaker 2: to a final four.
Speaker 5: Oh my god they lost to West Virginia.
Speaker 8: Wow, oh Mountain years.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, so I just
Speaker 2: didn't have me go. Boy, the Lakers don't care. They're
Speaker 2: not serious because they drafted Bronni. I'm like, good Man,
Speaker 2: keep Lebron happy, engaged, wants to play maybe this year,
Speaker 2: next year. Good I think those are all positives. There
Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls in here, Austin in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Hi Austin, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Hey Dan, thanks to sticking my call real quick. As
Speaker 13: a longtime Washington fan, I have to say how much
Speaker 13: better it feels just life in general, having a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm working out more, I'm excited to eat better.
Speaker 13: I mean, everything feels different in my life. I'm just
Speaker 13: so excited to know you have a chance in any game. Now,
Speaker 13: if we could just do something about that stupid name.
Speaker 13: But anyway, the real reason I'm calling today is because
Speaker 13: I'm finally taking the advice of a very very smart
Speaker 13: person and I'm taking my boys to a West Point
Speaker 13: game to watch our me demolish my ECU pirates this weekend.
Speaker 13: I wanted to see if you had any advice or
Speaker 13: recommendations of how I can maximize my time there and
Speaker 13: optimize the day.
Speaker 2: I would just get up there early. You're going to
Speaker 2: have peak foliage. It'll I think, be a sunny day,
Speaker 2: probably in the low sixties. And if you get a
Speaker 2: chance to walk around campus, do just walk and even
Speaker 2: the tailgates just You're going to see a lot of
Speaker 2: people that will make you proud. And when the cadets
Speaker 2: come in. Now, I know the stadium's not finished, the
Speaker 2: other side has been taken down. But if you get
Speaker 2: a chance to walk around campus, do get up there early.
Speaker 2: And I tried. I was going to go this weekend,
Speaker 2: but I'm having shoulder surgery and my wife said, well,
Speaker 2: I'll drive, but I don't want to be lugging in
Speaker 2: a you know, an arm and a sling up there.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, and make sure Austin that you get their
Speaker 5: pregame because they do the parachute when they fly out amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh no, get there, you know, two and a half
Speaker 2: hours early. Just walk around, Just soak it all in,
Speaker 2: just the history. And give you your sons, your boys
Speaker 2: reading material. Give them an assignment to understand what they're
Speaker 2: going to go see because years from now they'll look
Speaker 2: back and they'll they'll be thankful that they got that opportunity.
Speaker 2: Eric and Wisconsin. Hi, Eric, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Dan, and gentlemen. I can't call you
Speaker 9: all to day and that it's like saying Glady's Knight
Speaker 9: and your pits. But Dan, don't take any advice some fritzy.
Speaker 9: I once before surgery said okay, I can't eat, but
Speaker 9: maybe I could smoke a ball before I go in.
Speaker 9: Ended up in the middle of the surgery trying to
Speaker 9: get up and walk out of surgery, going to get
Speaker 9: my yellow Volkswaggen. Never I own a yellow volkswaggon in
Speaker 9: my life. Listen to your doctor, not freshy, Please.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait, wait, you were smoking a ball before
Speaker 2: you went into surgery and you got up out of surgery.
Speaker 9: Dan, it was to before. It was like two hours
Speaker 9: before the surgery. I believed the doctor when they say
Speaker 9: don't eat food, but I was like, well a bum
Speaker 9: hit teen hert, that's just smoke. During the middle of
Speaker 9: the surgery, Dad, I'm a recovering cancer patient. They had
Speaker 9: to strap me down because I woke up during the
Speaker 9: surgery talking about going to get my yellow Volkswagen and
Speaker 9: I've never owned a yellow Voltswaggen in my life. They
Speaker 9: had to strap me down to finish my surgical procedure.
Speaker 9: From that point on, I strictly listened to what my
Speaker 9: doctor said, not even regular yogurt. I don't eat a
Speaker 9: day before my surgeries now and I go through them
Speaker 9: twice a year. They're called the ciscosity. Don't listen to.
Speaker 2: Free I'm not going to now, Eric, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to not going to take a bonghead either, be prior
Speaker 2: to my surgery.
Speaker 11: There's a cup of yogurt in a bun head.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Todd. He gets up out of surge and
Speaker 2: he's got a yellow Volkswagen that he doesn't have he's
Speaker 2: gonna go find it.
Speaker 5: That was bizarre.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was. You got to listen to your doctor, Todd.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know you could wait to eat.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not having anything to eat tomorrow, anything
Speaker 2: to drink tomorrow prior to surgery.
Speaker 8: Not having any caffeine either.
Speaker 2: So you and me, buddy, man, it's incredible. I don't
Speaker 2: know which is going to be tougher.
Speaker 8: You're not alone.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that you're not alone. Dan.
Speaker 5: I'm here with you.
Speaker 2: Seaton is not gonna have calf together. We're going to
Speaker 2: power through. You're not gonna have caffeine. I don't know
Speaker 2: how you can do it.
Speaker 8: It's gonna be hard. Yeah, yeah, it's a real challenge.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. Is this elective?
Speaker 2: Like have you You're just doing this out of sympathy.
Speaker 8: It's more preemptive. Let me just see how the uh
Speaker 8: how my heart's doing that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Jesse and Kansas, Hi, Jesse, what's on your mind? Hey Jess,
Speaker 2: Thanks Jess Seaton. Would you update the poll results if
Speaker 2: you can. By the way, I saw a Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame list and I'm not sure, like I'm a little
Speaker 2: confused about this, but there are some big names on here,
Speaker 2: Chris Berman, Howard Cosell, John Facenda, Rune Arledge, and I
Speaker 2: thought that there was the Pete rosell Award Former Commissioner
Speaker 2: for members of the media, and then I guess they
Speaker 2: have something for contributors. This is the contributors portion of
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Do you get a bust, like,
Speaker 2: are you actually in the Hall of Fame because the
Speaker 2: Pete Roselle Media Award that being honored.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got this from the Hall of Fame. There
Speaker 4: is a different a change in the twenty twenty five
Speaker 4: class for the coach contributor category. Now it's split. Used
Speaker 4: to be if you're a coach, GM, team president, et cetera,
Speaker 4: it was this coach contributor category. Now it's split. There's
Speaker 4: a separate contributor category that twenty five people are up
Speaker 4: for this year for the class at twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: So it's like a big first class for the contributor list.
Speaker 2: This hasn't happened before where they've included members of the media.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen members of the media for the Like
Speaker 4: you said, you're being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you get a bust. It doesn't
Speaker 4: say anything about that here.
Speaker 2: But this is different from the Pete Roselle Awards. So
Speaker 2: Rune Arledge, one of the great TV executives, Chris Berman,
Speaker 2: Howard Cosell, John Facenda, let me see Eddie Robinson, Art
Speaker 2: Rooney Junior, the guy who created the Elias Sports Bureau. Okay,
Speaker 2: Doug Williams, Amy Trask, who was CEO of the Raiders,
Speaker 2: Jim Tunney, longtime official. Uh John McKay or John McVay.

Speaker 2: of names on here. Yes, Tom, is it interesting.
Speaker 11: If you don't live up to high expectations, you're a bust.
Speaker 11: But if you're a great player, you get a bust.
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
Speaker 11: You aspire to get a bust. You don't want to
Speaker 11: be a bust. You just want to get a bust.
Speaker 2: All in favor of saying, well you could have bust
Speaker 2: with something else, All in favor of a bloop for
Speaker 2: toddy boop. All right, all right, you gotta be grudging blue,

Speaker 2: for that. And it's him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, I mean, no offense, but he was
Speaker 8: able to do that.
Speaker 2: I know. See, that's all you need is a piano
Speaker 2: or a guitar. It doesn't matter what you look like.
Speaker 2: You know you can sing, You're you're already ahead of
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like Phil Jackson coaching Michael Jordan, then Kobe Yeah,
Speaker 4: back log and all.

Speaker 11: Yes, Ton, It's nice to see that the bios to
Speaker 11: her as An is not AZ when you're trying to

Speaker 2: appears to do right around him. All heard for, Ronnie?
Speaker 2: And all right, how about we take a break and
Speaker 2: we'll come back with more phone calls, close up shop,
Speaker 2: what we learn, what's in store tomorrow aside from my
Speaker 2: surgery right after.
Speaker 1: This, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2: This day in Sports History, Pauline, just.
Speaker 4: A couple for you today, Dan, I got please. Eighteen sixty,
Speaker 4: Willie Park won the first professional golf tournament to be
Speaker 4: held in Scotland. Didn't even know they went back that far.
Speaker 2: Oh, they go back to like the sixteen hundreds.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 4: Nineteen sixty two, the New York Yankees won their twentieth
Speaker 4: World Series. They beat the San Francisco Giants. And nineteen
Speaker 4: sixty eight, Bob Beeman long jumped twenty nine feet two
Speaker 4: and a half inches the Olympic Games in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty nine Game three earthquake, Bay Area Giants Athletics.
Speaker 2: Let's see nineteen sixty four. This guy played quarterback at Tulsa.
Speaker 2: He was responsible for seven touchdown passes, two rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 2: and a two point conversion. He was responsible for fifty
Speaker 2: six of Tulsa's fifty eight points in a win against
Speaker 2: Louisville Jerry Rome. And then I think he played in
Speaker 2: the AFL, maybe for Houston, but Jerry Rome fifty six
Speaker 2: of Tulsa's fifty eight points on this day, Um, let
Speaker 2: me see Shelby in Minnesota. I shall be what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 14: VP the morning for taking my call first time, longtime
Speaker 14: five ten, two fifteen. First off, I want to apologize
Speaker 14: to Todd for cutting into your air time. But the
Speaker 14: reason I called Dan is I was listening to one
Speaker 14: of your reoccurring guests, Joel Klatt this week, and he
Speaker 14: sees me down on the hill of the fact that
Speaker 14: the conferences need to give up control of the referees
Speaker 14: and review and give it to an overarching body for
Speaker 14: college football. I want to just get your thoughts on
Speaker 14: that and see if you think that'll ever happen in
Speaker 14: college football.
Speaker 2: Well, I would like to see the officials be protected that,
Speaker 2: you know, their full time jobs. It's treated as a
Speaker 2: full time job. It's still so difficult, certainly the NFL.
Speaker 2: If you watch your game in real time down low,
Speaker 2: I don't know how you ever go that guy touched
Speaker 2: the ball, didn't touch the ball, pass interference not pass interference.
Speaker 2: We get the luxury overhead view replays, slow motion, all
Speaker 2: of that. But I think getting the officials to be
Speaker 2: to have their own union might help. But I don't
Speaker 2: do as deep a dive on this as Joel Klatt does.
Speaker 2: Fresh in Milwaukee is back, Hi Fresh, What's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Good morning, DP five to nine with the hands beat
Speaker 7: of Jerry Blackwell. Have a dinner table. I got the
Speaker 7: question or a poll up today. Try to answer this
Speaker 7: for the Zoo crew. What's worse betting on the team
Speaker 7: or sport you play in or cheating?
Speaker 2: Well, they have us once again, not getting into the
Speaker 2: Pete Rose situation. When you're cheating, you are trying to win.
Speaker 2: Andy Pettitt when he got caught, he said, hey, I
Speaker 2: was just trying to come back and help my team,
Speaker 2: the Astros. They were cheating to win. He was gambling
Speaker 2: to win money. And there's a sign that says you
Speaker 2: can't gamble all right now, how no matter how many
Speaker 2: ways you try to twist and turn, this heat's not
Speaker 2: getting into the Hall of Fame. And do I think
Speaker 2: that he been on baseball as a player. I do,
Speaker 2: and I don't have There's no malice towards Pete. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's a wonderful player shape my childhood in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways, watching baseball and how he played and never
Speaker 2: giving up playing different positions. He's the winningest player in
Speaker 2: baseball history. But he bet on baseball, and I think
Speaker 2: he bet when he was a player. I just don't
Speaker 2: think Major League Baseball wants to open that up in
Speaker 2: my opinion. All right, go around the room. What we
Speaker 2: learned on the program Todd would you learn today?
Speaker 11: John Smaltz would put a mean face on the mound
Speaker 11: to look intimidate and to hit us, even though he's
Speaker 11: deep down he was afraid to face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, big poppy upper pooholes Bonds and Tony Glynn.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm nervous. They make me nervous. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: put on my mean mug here Seaton, what did you learn.
Speaker 8: And John Smalts's grandmother didn't like his mean face a
Speaker 8: smile more, Come on, Johnny, such a great like mother
Speaker 8: grandmother thing. They say, Well, you have such a beautiful smile.
