Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's the final hour on this Wednesday. We've solved a
Speaker 2: lot of problems the Pro Bowl. You have to add
Speaker 2: the a Pro Bowl alternate so we can differentiate between
Speaker 2: those who were true Pro Bowl selections and those who
Speaker 2: are just filling out a ronster to play dodgeball. And
Speaker 2: maybe the NBA can look at ten minute quarters forty
Speaker 2: minute games. Therefore you'll have more players, maybe taking less
Speaker 2: time off load management might be something of the past. Internationally,
Speaker 2: that's the way they play ten minute quarters forty minute games.
Speaker 2: And the commissioner of the NBA just said now, he
Speaker 2: said that they've talked about this now. He said, give
Speaker 2: me a wild idea, and he said, well, it's not
Speaker 2: really a wild idea, but they have talked about it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: He says that he's in favor of it. He knows
Speaker 2: what he's doing. You wouldn't float that out there unless
Speaker 2: you probably wanted to get the reaction here. And our
Speaker 2: reaction was worried about the stats. I'm worried about the
Speaker 2: aesthetics of the game. Are they going to play I
Speaker 2: just mentioned that Joellenbiid has missed four hundred games. In
Speaker 2: his career, he's played in around four hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: six games, so he's missed forty five percent of all
Speaker 2: the games. I know that he's had a lot of injuries.
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis a lot of injury. And there's certain players
Speaker 2: that they get banged up more than others, or maybe
Speaker 2: they don't play through pain like others. You got the
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard situation. Does this alleviate that? Can that help
Speaker 2: the situation where if you buy a ticket, you know
Speaker 2: somebody's going to play the fact that it's a maybe
Speaker 2: a two hour game like it's it's you know, bite
Speaker 2: sized portions where you'll be like, hey, I got two hours,
Speaker 2: I can watch the game instead of you tune in
Speaker 2: and you know, like Major League Baseball used to be,
Speaker 2: I don't know how long it's going to be. Baseball
Speaker 2: understood that pitchclock sped up the game. I thought baseball
Speaker 2: had an unbelievable year, and I think the NBA has
Speaker 2: to have a little bit of that. The nd season Tournament, Okay,
Speaker 2: Like the only thing I liked is the courts were different.
Speaker 2: You know, they look lively fun. I would have even
Speaker 2: more fun with that if I'm the NBA, but you
Speaker 2: got to start thinking outside the box. The end of
Speaker 2: the NFL with the kickoff, who would have thought. Now,
Speaker 2: you may not like it, but they still put the
Speaker 2: kickoff back in, so it did matter a little bit more.
Speaker 2: And still until you can have an onside kick without
Speaker 2: telling people you're going to have an onside kick, then
Speaker 2: you know, the kickoff to me is like it's a
Speaker 2: means to an end. We got to start the game.
Speaker 2: You gotta kick off the game. But they did think
Speaker 2: outside the box with that. Baseball certainly did. I think
Speaker 2: the NBA has to at least look at this.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: They might not think that anything's broken, but you want
Speaker 2: to have preemptive strikes. You want to be ahead of
Speaker 2: the game. And look, I know we get caught up
Speaker 2: in the three point shot. Too many three pointers. I
Speaker 2: just don't like bad three point shooting. I mean, I'll
Speaker 2: watch Steph Curry in warm ups. I'd watch Caitlin Clark
Speaker 2: just shoot. I did the other day when she made
Speaker 2: fifty out of fifty four in practice. I like seeing
Speaker 2: great shooting. It's just there are some teams and players
Speaker 2: who aren't good. And that's why I wondered, what would
Speaker 2: a game look like if you didn't have the three
Speaker 2: point line, just to see what it will look like,
Speaker 2: how they would play, would they play differently? And I
Speaker 2: think that might be fun. But you have to start
Speaker 2: thinking about the aesthetics of this, not all what are
Speaker 2: the stats going to be if your stats are attached
Speaker 2: to a incentive clause a bonus. I understand that you'd
Speaker 2: have to modify that. All you do is modify it,
Speaker 2: you know, with a forty minute game as opposed to
Speaker 2: forty eight minutes. But I want more players playing harder.
Speaker 2: We can keep the three but I would I would
Speaker 2: even toy with that of having fun with it. But
Speaker 2: sounds like the commission. I'm sure there are a lot
Speaker 2: of things that come across his desk, but that's what
Speaker 2: I wondered, like, was there anything wild? And I wonder
Speaker 2: what the reaction is going to be, whether it's NBA
Speaker 2: players or analysts, coaches who are going to read this
Speaker 2: Danpatrick dot com or when it gets filtered out to
Speaker 2: these other websites, of would they consider forty minute games?
Speaker 2: And I think there are a lot of positives there,
Speaker 2: But that's his job. His job is to be thinking
Speaker 2: not now, but down the road. You're thinking that with
Speaker 2: your business partners, you're thinking about that with expansion. What
Speaker 2: about NIL players now go into the into college, you're
Speaker 2: making more money, Maybe you don't come out. You know,
Speaker 2: after one and done, do they go back to an
Speaker 2: eighteen year old instead of going to the G League?
Speaker 2: Does the G League even matter anymore because it's not
Speaker 2: about attendance there? But you can go to college, make
Speaker 2: money and then go to the NBA suppose to going
Speaker 2: to the G League. But you know, these are all
Speaker 2: the things that he has to be thinking about of
Speaker 2: growing your game. And it's globally. You know, this is
Speaker 2: truly a global sport. It's not like baseball or the NFL.
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL has pockets in you know, these
Speaker 2: certain cities, certain countries, but this is basketball is global.
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at China, all the people in China,
Speaker 2: you know, in Europe. You know the number of people,
Speaker 2: You got a couple of billion, billion people that would
Speaker 2: be interested in this. And I think it gets back
Speaker 2: to do we just consume clips? It feels like it's
Speaker 2: just hey, did you see that on social media? I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people watch also. I wonder, you know,
Speaker 2: the deeper we get into gambling. And this is really
Speaker 2: a deep dive on this, but I've thought about it.
Speaker 2: Do we get away from true fandom like this new
Speaker 2: wave of fans who are going to grow up on gambling.
Speaker 2: Are they going to grow up on being a fan
Speaker 2: of a team or are they going to grow up
Speaker 2: just thinking about the gambling aspect of this? Are you
Speaker 2: going to be invested in a player because he helps
Speaker 2: you over unders things like that? Are we going to
Speaker 2: have dynasties as we move forward? So these are a
Speaker 2: lot of things that I've thought about with the NBA,
Speaker 2: and I still love the sport. I just think that
Speaker 2: there are a lot of things that could be added
Speaker 2: or subtracted that maybe would benefit the game in the
Speaker 2: long run. But I'm not concerned about somebody averaging thirty
Speaker 2: or fifteen. I want to know are they playing hard?
Speaker 2: Are they playing are they playing hard? What's the game
Speaker 2: look like? Those are the things that I'm curious about.
Speaker 2: Like I was worried about the NFL that there was
Speaker 2: too much passing. Everybody was passing, and I kept saying,
Speaker 2: somebody's going to go counter to that, and now you've
Speaker 2: seen teams go counter to that. I don't know if
Speaker 2: we get back to the big man in basketball, and truly,
Speaker 2: like if you had Shack or some of these other
Speaker 2: shacks not on the three point line, how are you
Speaker 2: going to cover shack man de man if everybody's on
Speaker 2: the perimeter. So there's going to be players. It feels
Speaker 2: like eventually who will be that back to the basket
Speaker 2: or play down low?
Speaker 5: Yes, MARVH, Well, you just talked about the international game.
Speaker 5: The international game is the big guys are skilled that
Speaker 5: hold back to the basket. Hey, let's pound the ball
Speaker 5: three times and then throw up a baby jump hook.
Speaker 5: That is not how they do it over there. And
Speaker 5: now with Jokich and when Binyama, it's going to go far,
Speaker 5: even further away than it is now as far as
Speaker 5: traditional big man basketball.
Speaker 2: But they are so skilled at other things. And that's
Speaker 2: what's amazing when you watch them, Like the evolution of
Speaker 2: that position is really incredible, really incredible. And I don't
Speaker 2: want to diminish that because watching Wemby, I watch any
Speaker 2: game he plays in Djokich, the way he plays basketball,
Speaker 2: I love watching it because I mean this is they
Speaker 2: teach pure basketball. They don't teach highlight basketball. In Europe,
Speaker 2: it's pure basketball. And you see that the number of
Speaker 2: players not born in the United States and the game
Speaker 2: that they bring for the most part is pure basketball.
Speaker 2: Shay gilis Alexander in Canada. I mean you could. It's
Speaker 2: not just not in the United States, it's not just Europe.
Speaker 2: But what Jokich does, that's the way they played basketball,
Speaker 2: you know, in the fifties or sixties, not to that
Speaker 2: skill level. And Wemby's going to be the best player
Speaker 2: in the game. Probably in three years, Wemba Nyama will
Speaker 2: be the best player in the game. And he's extremely
Speaker 2: skilled at both ends of the floor. I know that
Speaker 2: the talent level is incredible. And I was watching a
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns game last night.
Speaker 3: I know what a life.
Speaker 2: This was a nineteen seventy you know what, for some reason,
Speaker 2: I watched Ricky Sobers, who was a guard, and I
Speaker 2: always loved Ricky Sobers for some reason. So I'm watching
Speaker 2: the Sons and the Celtics, and you know, the game
Speaker 2: is obviously different, but you know it's what I grew
Speaker 2: up on. But I'm trying to embrace this where it
Speaker 2: is just social media clips. Try to watch a game.
Speaker 2: How many times have you watched a game. How many
Speaker 2: times do you watch a baseball game all the way through?
Speaker 2: We don't do that anymore. Football we do because you
Speaker 2: can bet on everything, your team, fantasy, all that's attached,
Speaker 2: and it's once a week. So you're not like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get tired of this the NBA. I watched
Speaker 2: the Lakers Sixers last night. It doesn't mean I go
Speaker 2: man can't wait to watch the Sixers again their next game.
Speaker 2: But last night I was entertained by Tyres maxing. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's a long winded way of saying final hour here,
Speaker 2: good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for
Speaker 2: downloading the app. Dylan, you're doing the poll quot duties
Speaker 2: with a seating on the road.
Speaker 3: Yes, I am.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 3: For our two recap, which career would you rather have?
Speaker 2: Long? Okay, NFL career or short?
Speaker 3: Awesome?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: Sixty three percent with the long career okay. And then
Speaker 2: for our three pool question, keep it simple. Would you
Speaker 2: be in favor of forty minute games in the NBA?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: No, or don't care? All right, let's go around the room. Todd,
Speaker 2: would you be in favor of forty minutes instead of
Speaker 2: forty eight I would Dylan, I like it. Yeah, Marv,
Speaker 2: I mean, Paul.
Speaker 7: I see nothing against it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm okay with it. Like I don't go, god, Lee,
Speaker 2: I'm missing eight more minutes here. If the games are
Speaker 2: now here's one thing that might bother people if they're
Speaker 2: not scoring one hundred points, you know, if you have
Speaker 2: games that are you know, eighty ninety one, eighty nine.
Speaker 2: I mean hopefully you would adjust. College games don't go
Speaker 2: into triple digits. But in the NBA that might bother
Speaker 2: people the finals and nobody scoring one hundred points. But
Speaker 2: other than that, I don't see a real downside by
Speaker 2: the way, we talked about the Pro Bowl and that,
Speaker 2: you know, they just want people to participate in this.
Speaker 2: In fact, JJ Watt said that it's basically a participation
Speaker 2: Bowl when you get to like the fifth or sixth alternate, like,
Speaker 2: come on in, do you want to play Dodgible. We
Speaker 2: had Max Crosby on this is two years ago now
Speaker 2: three years ago, so right after the Pro Bowl and
Speaker 2: the Raiders defensive end, and I asked him that it
Speaker 2: looked like people were just slow dancing out there in
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. Who lets everybody know what was the
Speaker 2: agreement where we go we're just going to have two
Speaker 2: hand touch. Honestly, there wasn't an agreement.
Speaker 8: Once the game started, I got off the ball and
Speaker 8: I noticed everyone was kind of moving a slow motion,
Speaker 8: So I was trying to like act in a way
Speaker 8: to try to you know. But as the game went on,
Speaker 8: you know, there was a big bonus. So you know,
Speaker 8: Varibel is a competitive guy. He wanted to win. Everybody
Speaker 8: on our team was like, all right, we're gonna like
Speaker 8: kind of go with the flow, but we we wanted
Speaker 8: to win. So yeah, you know, there's a couple of
Speaker 8: third downs and fourth downs where we kind of were
Speaker 8: rushing a little bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, but for the most part, somebody had to go.
Speaker 2: We put our The officials had to know this as well.
Speaker 2: When Mac mac Jones is running and then they put
Speaker 2: their hands on they blow the whistle. Yeah, I'm like, man, Mac,
Speaker 2: he keeps jumping. You know, he's going towards the end zone. Yeah.
Speaker 8: That was the tough thing is the short yardage was
Speaker 8: the hardest thing of the whole game, because you get
Speaker 8: to fourth and two or third and two, whatever, you
Speaker 8: run the ball and someone just touches the running back.
Speaker 8: It was done, so you basically had to throw the
Speaker 8: ball every single play. So it's kind of a fine line.
Speaker 2: Did you talk amongst each other?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 8: Really, there wasn't any agreement or like a common ground
Speaker 8: of just everyone was just kind of chilling the whole time.
Speaker 2: So it's yeah, it's different, and that's why we have
Speaker 2: the participation bull and that's why you have tug a
Speaker 2: war and dodgeball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like family, double there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jack, double there.
Speaker 2: Blake in Illinois, I had Blake. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 10: How are you guys doing today?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 9: I've just had a theory that I wanted to run
Speaker 9: past you. Guys, how do you feel about if if
Speaker 9: you play in the Super or excuse me, if you
Speaker 9: play in the Pro Bowl. The incentive to play would
Speaker 9: be that you get the chance to play in the
Speaker 9: Olympics coming up for flag football. But that's the only stipulation.
Speaker 9: You have to at least play in the Pro Bowl
Speaker 9: to be considered for the Super for the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I don't know if players would want that, Like you
Speaker 2: got to play hard to play in the Olympics flag football. Uh,
Speaker 2: I don't think they would go for that. Plus, you've
Speaker 2: got a lot of guys who are professional flag football
Speaker 2: players who don't want the NFL involved in this. Like
Speaker 2: they're guys who they think, Hey, you know we do
Speaker 2: this all the time. Don't be bringing in your NFL. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 2: the phrase profession pro flag football player sounds like jumbo shrip.
Speaker 2: I can't even believe that's a real thing. Josh and Nebraska. Hi,
Speaker 2: josh Any, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 6: Six foot two.
Speaker 2: And ten pounds.
Speaker 11: So, I'm a high school teacher. So my class is
Speaker 11: being quiet. We have a rotating study hall, so don't worry.
Speaker 11: It's not actual instructional time. I'm a decent teacher, I promise.
Speaker 11: So I've been dating this girl since September and we're
Speaker 11: both in our thirties, and my brother told my family
Speaker 11: that we were getting engaged.
Speaker 3: I didn't know this.
Speaker 11: I wasn't around when he said this, but just out
Speaker 11: of curiosity, when do you suggest it's a good time
Speaker 11: when you're in your thirties to get engaged and how
Speaker 11: much do you how much do you suggest spending on
Speaker 11: a ring as a high school teacher. I was just
Speaker 11: curious your advice and if you had an thoughts for me.
Speaker 11: I'm a Catholic. She's a Lutheran, so we'll probably have
Speaker 11: a Catholic wedding. Just as an aside. She's not real
Speaker 11: thrilled about it, but she'll get over it, I think. Anyway,
Speaker 11: thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2: Left with you guys, Thank you, Josh. I don't want
Speaker 2: to tell you what to do with the ring because
Speaker 2: I didn't have any money when I got my engagement
Speaker 2: ring and my wife was fine with it. But you know,
Speaker 2: we picked it out. Like if you're going into a marriage,
Speaker 2: then you know you've got to establish a friendship, teamwork
Speaker 2: and a where like, hey, let's be realistic, I can
Speaker 2: always upgrade if I do better, you know, in life.
Speaker 2: But the important part is getting engaged or getting married there.
Speaker 2: But as far as how long do you wait before
Speaker 2: I would suggest you go on a trip together and
Speaker 2: then see how you are when you come back from
Speaker 2: that trip. Go on a road trip, let's say ten
Speaker 2: days together, and then let me know how you're doing
Speaker 2: when you get back, because that's when you can get
Speaker 2: on each other's nerves and day to day, hour to hour,
Speaker 2: you know, stopping for gas, not stopping for gus went
Speaker 2: the wrong way. You don't listen to directions. What's wrong witheo, yes, DoD.
Speaker 12: When he said when is a good time to get engaged,
Speaker 12: I thought'd say something like Thursday, about two thirday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm more of a you know, a Wednesday afternoon
Speaker 2: guy when I get engaged. Yes, Marvin, all right, So.
Speaker 5: When you get engaged, do not get engaged. This is
Speaker 5: this is my suggestion. Oh, not get engaged on a
Speaker 5: holiday or somebody's birthday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I got engaged on April twenty eight. You know what
Speaker 5: that day is, April twenty eighth.
Speaker 3: That's it. It's just a day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do Christmas Valentine's, don't to Valentine's. No, No,
Speaker 2: that's gonna do it at someone else's wedding. Oh that
Speaker 2: happened to me, hijack, somebody did that at my wedding. Brutal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: at your wedding. Yeah really yeah, even.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 2: It's like a taboo family member. Did somebody in the
Speaker 2: family tree did that?
Speaker 3: That's not cool?
Speaker 2: Yeah are the family.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the.
Speaker 2: As I got uh got to the reception, I the
Speaker 2: following was said to me. Don't mean to upstage you,
Speaker 2: but we just got engaged. So they acknowledged it too
Speaker 2: that they were upstaging. Well, they didn't mean to upstage me, right,
Speaker 2: that's like no offense. They just got engaged. I went,
Speaker 2: I just got to the reception, I just got married.
Speaker 2: And then not to upstage you, but we just got engaged.
Speaker 3: Enough about you, guys, How about us?

Speaker 4: Hey there, Dan, First Time, Long Time five nine eighty five,
Speaker 4: a hairy one hundred and eighty five. Hey, So, I
Speaker 4: want to have a few recordit restaurant recommendations for you.
Speaker 4: My first one is called Saffron New Orleans. It's a
Speaker 4: fusion of Indian Cajun foods. So, for example, they have
Speaker 4: a curried gumbo and like with their lamb chops, they
Speaker 4: take the best of New Orleans spices and the best
Speaker 4: of Indian food spices and they mash it together. And
Speaker 4: he has all these experimental foods and cocktails. My number
Speaker 4: two is Pesche. I'm not sure if you've ever been
Speaker 4: to Peshe. It's a seafood and steakhouse. It's probably like
Speaker 4: five minutes away from the Superdome. They're open Sundays. And
Speaker 4: my final one is called Rizzuto's. They're like in neighborhood restaurant,
Speaker 4: another steak and seafood restaurant. You can't go wrong with
Speaker 4: any of those three restaurants, but my favorite is Saffron.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you for the recommendations. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: looking for a place where I can bring the dan
Speaker 2: Eds and the back room guy Sunday. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Can we get that many people in a restaurant here
Speaker 2: on a Sunday? And we're going at five o'clock because
Speaker 2: if I'm paying, we're going early. We're thinking of doing
Speaker 2: four tables of three. Actually, thank you, thank you, Dylan.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that too. I don't care. I don't
Speaker 2: care the math, just as long as we can get
Speaker 2: in there, have a dinner, and uh, I don't have
Speaker 2: to sit next to top Lex.
Speaker 3: Speed did like six tables of two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could just get up, move to another one,
Speaker 2: get up.
Speaker 3: Move It would great content.
Speaker 2: Well, the problem is you'd have to take your plate
Speaker 2: with you. I don't think you'd be going to somebody
Speaker 2: else's plate, or I'd be coming to your plate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's part of the fun.
Speaker 3: Yet a little messy. We'll get a little.
Speaker 2: Messy, all right, Mike McCarthy, Cliff Kingsbury, wait till next year.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was by choice, but it
Speaker 2: was probably by the saint's choice that neither is going
Speaker 2: to get that job. And looks like Kellen Moore is
Speaker 2: the leading candidate. He's got the Super Bowl ahead of him.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl's over, you stay in New Orleans and do
Speaker 2: a press conference. Jalen Milroe of Alabama decided to come out,
Speaker 2: and I think he could have used another year in college.
Speaker 2: But if somebody's gonna take him, maybe in the first
Speaker 2: two rounds. The problem though, was it's almost hand sized season.
Speaker 2: That's usually at the combine, the Senior Bowl, they all
Speaker 2: of a sudden jumped to shark. Here they went hand
Speaker 2: size before the Combine, and Jalen Milroe has small hands.
Speaker 2: You have the official measurement here.
Speaker 7: I'm reporting this as a journalist. I'm not besmirching his hands.
Speaker 7: Guy or Jaln Milroe. He measured his hands at eight
Speaker 7: point sixty eight, which is less than eight and three
Speaker 7: quarters inches for his hand size, which is Kenny Pickett esque.
Speaker 2: Ooh, we went pack. So after Kenny Pickett went to
Speaker 2: the combine and it came out that he had small hands.
Speaker 2: Every picture, every picture that we saw, he's got his
Speaker 2: hand in his pocket. So he was a hand hider,
Speaker 2: as Paulie likes to say, he's hand hiding. That's what
Speaker 2: he's doing. He's hand hiding and he's there with his girlfriend.
Speaker 2: He's got his hand in his pocket, so you can't
Speaker 2: see that his hand size. Yes, Marmon, you can call
Speaker 2: him Kenny Pocket. Oh okay, Blue, Yes.
Speaker 3: Tod And what's wrong keeping your hands in your pocket
Speaker 3: all times?
Speaker 2: Huh? Well you got on stage when you were singing
Speaker 2: Hall of Oates hands in your pocket.
Speaker 3: How to make it about me?
Speaker 7: Yes, paul is the upside for Jaln Milroe that he
Speaker 7: has two months until the combine and can expand his
Speaker 7: hands for that measurement. The official measurement is our handspreading
Speaker 7: expert in the South that can help them.
Speaker 2: There are people who do help you. They do a
Speaker 2: niche industry it is it is. I mean I got
Speaker 2: on how often it comes up? Where you know people
Speaker 2: go yep, hey, you gotta stretch my hand. Okay, how
Speaker 2: busy are you at work? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: know how. I'm hoping you have something else like that's
Speaker 2: your side. Hustle is stretching hands.
Speaker 7: It'd be like a coffee shop and stretching business. The
Speaker 7: coffee will carry you.
Speaker 2: Yes, smart, Where can.
Speaker 5: You find these people? I'm asking for a frank?
Speaker 2: I was just ask myself, Yes, Paul H.
Speaker 3: Todd, was that applied to have the error? Is exactly
Speaker 3: what I want? Wow, well, might as well just get
Speaker 3: it out there.
Speaker 2: I think if it's eight point six eight you're doing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: kill that segment? Thank you doing.
Speaker 3: I was also asking for a friend, of.
Speaker 2: Course, you were to thank you Carston in Orange Counting,
Speaker 2: Hi Carston, what's on your mind? Hey Carston? Hey and
Speaker 2: Ed Good? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 14: I was thinking that the forty minute has changed to
Speaker 14: the NBA might not have the intended effect. You might
Speaker 14: just have the stars playing the same number of minutes.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's always that possibility, but I don't think
Speaker 2: you can get any worse though, with load management. This
Speaker 2: to me, at least you're thinking you're trying. Thank you
Speaker 2: for the phone call. Yeah, I don't know what the
Speaker 2: downside would be with that. We already see it. I
Speaker 2: just mentioned Joe El Embiid has missed four hundred games
Speaker 2: in his career. He's played in four hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: six Kawhi Leonard, I don't know. If it means that
Speaker 2: these players will be able to play longer, then we
Speaker 2: would all benefit from that. Ed in Chicago, Hi, Ed,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: Hey guys, I think fourth time callers six ' to
Speaker 6: two are rising two forty. Unfortunately, the thing I love
Speaker 6: most about the show is all the inside jokes. You
Speaker 6: guys did kill that last segment. Dan, I go back
Speaker 6: the timeyless sort of sound bite of him calling gibble Ron.
Speaker 2: Yes, just crack me up every.
Speaker 6: Time, Hey, Ron, it was just the best. I mean,
Speaker 6: your laughter is just makes my day. Anyway. The reason
Speaker 6: why I was calling, as you mentioned, is gambling, the
Speaker 6: culprit for perhaps making people root for outcomes or players
Speaker 6: or their parlay or whatever as opposed to their team.
Speaker 6: Fantasy football ruined that for me. I'm a Bears fan.
Speaker 6: PAULI self hating, and I was rooting for Packers because
Speaker 6: if I had Farvard Rodgers who were studs as a
Speaker 6: QB in fantasy, guess who I was rooting for. The
Speaker 6: Bears weren't going to pay me. My fantasy team would.
Speaker 6: So I think it goes back to fantasy before gambling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you want that guy to lose, if
Speaker 2: he's you know, your arch rival, but you want him
Speaker 2: to play well. If you have Aaron Rodgers on your
Speaker 2: fantasy team, you may not want him to win the
Speaker 2: game against your team, but you want him to score
Speaker 2: a lot of It's weird now what we root for now? Gambling,
Speaker 2: you know it's prevalent, it's now, it's commonplace. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're gonna have that fandom where you root
Speaker 2: for a team as much as you're rooting for situations
Speaker 2: or your fantasy team. And that's why I wonder about
Speaker 2: that with all of these leagues, you grow up as
Speaker 2: a fan of a team. I don't know if this
Speaker 2: next wave of football fans or baseball or basketball fans
Speaker 2: and you're gambling on everything. Are you rooting for your team?
Speaker 2: You're rooting for a situation, yes, Mark, But on the
Speaker 2: flip side. If you're a Tennessee Titans, not a Tennessee
Speaker 2: Titans fan. If you had Chris Johnson ten years ago,
Speaker 2: you're watching the Titans a game you normally wouldn't watch,
Speaker 2: So it brings eyeballs to every single game. If you
Speaker 2: have Trevor Lawrenson your fantasy team, you're watching the Jaguars
Speaker 2: game because Trevor Lawrens is on your fantasy team. So
Speaker 2: it brings eyeballs to every single game no matter who's playing,
Speaker 2: but you're watching. I mean, you can watch the red zone.
Speaker 2: You don't have to be watched. I mean, I could
Speaker 2: love Trevor Lawrence. He's on my fantasy team. That does
Speaker 2: mean I want to watch Jacksonville. I mean, let's be honest.
Speaker 2: You come on, you can still check the box score
Speaker 2: after the game. Yeah, so I can check in on that.
Speaker 2: They got apps for everything there. Paul in North Dakota, Hi, Paul,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 10: Dan, first time, long time, six foot two sixty five,
Speaker 10: and I just had an idea, a potential idea for
Speaker 10: the Pro Bowl. I wanted to hear your thoughts. So
Speaker 10: what they could do is just select the players like
Speaker 10: they normally are for their performance during the during the
Speaker 10: regular season, and rather than those starters or those of
Speaker 10: the All Stars playing in the game, those players could
Speaker 10: select somebody from their team or from their practice squad
Speaker 10: to play in their place, and that way you could
Speaker 10: get like a competitive, competitive game. They would give those
Speaker 10: players some more exposure.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to see another football game
Speaker 2: that resembles the NBA All Star Game, my guy.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I have no interest in it. Like I'll watch the
Speaker 2: All Star Game because there can be some fun highlights there.
Speaker 2: I don't need a exhibition football game, you know. I don't.
Speaker 2: And even when the Pro Bowl was played in Hawaii,
Speaker 2: I'd be like anything else on and then you might
Speaker 2: watch just a little bit. I just love that it
Speaker 2: was in Hawaii, but that was basically it. Eric in
Speaker 2: La Hi, Eric, What's on your mind?
Speaker 15: Adp Five eight and A hard hard I had a
Speaker 15: couple of rule changes that could impact load management. I
Speaker 15: was thinking that the NBA, when it comes out with
Speaker 15: this schedule, can set games where teams are allowed to
Speaker 15: load manage, but on other games, if an independent doctor
Speaker 15: picked by the league and the player says that a
Speaker 15: guy is load managing and you accumulate enough of those,
Speaker 15: you get added a loss to your lost call.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no, we can't. You can have an
Speaker 2: upset stomach, you can have a you know, a tight hamstring.
Speaker 2: I don't know if doctors can go yep uh, I
Speaker 2: will keep you. You got an upset stomach there, I
Speaker 2: don't think so.
Speaker 7: Yeah, how about a new thing where we all show
Speaker 7: up to work what we're paid for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. I see here's another thing. This
Speaker 2: is going to happen soon. I brought this up. But
Speaker 2: imagine somebody making one hundred million dollars a year in
Speaker 2: the NBA. Because that's gonna happen. You're gonna notice every
Speaker 2: time they don't play. The first guy you're gonna notice,
Speaker 2: Shake Gilgess Alexander one hundred million dollars. How many games
Speaker 2: did he play? Oh, he's not playing.
Speaker 8: Just the.
Speaker 2: You've got the old school people. We're going to die
Speaker 2: over that one hundred million dollars and Shay Gilgess or
Speaker 2: whoever it is. But man, it's a lot of money,
Speaker 2: a lot of money. But somebody's got to get that
Speaker 2: money because there's only you know what, twelve thirteen players
Speaker 2: on a roster and you're getting all they're getting billions
Speaker 2: of dollars from all these streaming partners. Somebody getting the money.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauline, I'm curious what the reaction to this was.
Speaker 7: You might remember it better than us. In November seventy nine,
Speaker 7: Nolan Ryan got a four year, four point five million
Speaker 7: dollar contract, headlines on the newspapers. First million dollar player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I you know, when Ricky Henderson became I
Speaker 2: think the first three million dollar player, I don't think
Speaker 2: it registered because I thought that those guys were great.
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have players that are gonna make fifty
Speaker 2: million dollars and you're gonna go who is he? Yeah? Mark?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: When Otto Porter got a hundred million dollars, I mean,
Speaker 5: come on, I was like, who in the blue hell
Speaker 5: is Otto Porter? And I'm an NBA g A Donald Foyle?
Speaker 5: Oh like you just like Mark Jackson? No, not the
Speaker 5: point guard?
Speaker 2: Who player? Yes, Mark Jackson? Was that Mark with a C?
Speaker 2: I think was m a R C Warriors legend? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, but it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: We do this now with our quarterbacks where you're like, god,
Speaker 2: I can't believe that guy makes that. But you're gonna
Speaker 2: have one hundred million dollar a year. Guy, in the
Speaker 2: next five years, you're probably gonna have one hundred million
Speaker 2: dollars Kevin in Vegas, Hi, keV, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, I'm gonna get right to it. The commissioner
Speaker 16: came on and he didn't want to say anything wrong.
Speaker 16: There's never gonna be a short. They're never going to
Speaker 16: save two minutes off. It's all about money. And if
Speaker 16: you think about save the two minutes off all the
Speaker 16: time that they will lose. I'm as far as to
Speaker 16: say they're going to add two minutes. It's all about
Speaker 16: the money.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Kevin Well. The commercial inventory is what's important.
Speaker 2: That's what they want to make sure that they're able
Speaker 2: to sell that. But he's taken eight minutes off the game,
Speaker 2: not two minutes, I mean two minutes a quarter, but
Speaker 2: a sounded like he was into it. I want to
Speaker 2: be fair to the commissioner. He didn't say that that
Speaker 2: was happening. He wouldn't have revealed that. It's like, you know,
Speaker 2: the NFL commissioner when he started talking about eighteen games.
Speaker 2: This is a while ago. I said, yeah, we're going
Speaker 2: to eighteen. Well, nothing's effitting. We're going to eighteen games,
Speaker 2: and I'm curious what the headlines are with the commissioner
Speaker 2: saying this and what the reaction is going to be.
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be a negative reaction that they
Speaker 2: want forty minute games like they do in Europe and
Speaker 2: ten minute quarters. I don't know if anybody the players
Speaker 2: are going to go, wait, we still get paid the same. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm in favor. All right. Well, take a break, last
Speaker 2: call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Oh that was nice. Heard back from the Commissioner's office.
Speaker 2: He said, you know, if I can help with reservations
Speaker 2: in New Orleans, you let me know. So that's very nice,
Speaker 2: very thoughtful. Yeah, I appreciate that we probably ruined his
Speaker 2: day though by having this come out that maybe's considering
Speaker 2: ten minute quarters now forty minute games instead of forty eight.
Speaker 2: Once again, he just said it's a wild idea. He
Speaker 2: didn't say that it's something that they're putting into motion.
Speaker 2: But I do think that he would certainly appreciate the reaction,
Speaker 2: because that's what happens a lot of times with these commissioners.
Speaker 2: You know what, You're going to see a headline that's
Speaker 2: going to say NBA remodeling question mark, and then it'll
Speaker 2: be something about that this is how this works. But
Speaker 2: the commissioner is very bright, so I'm guessing that he
Speaker 2: knew or knows what the reaction is going to be.
Speaker 2: Matt in South Carolina, Hi, Matt, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 9: First time caller, six foot two.
Speaker 6: Fifty, old school?
Speaker 9: What is the best super Bowl host city?
Speaker 2: Thanks? Levy? All right, let's go around the room. Best
Speaker 2: host city, Todd that you've been in?
Speaker 3: I think it might very well be New Orleans?
Speaker 2: All right, Dylan? Have you been too many Super Bowl sites?
Speaker 3: A few of the one as I've been to.
Speaker 2: I thought Scottsdale was actually a lot of fun. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right? Well that was a great setup that we
Speaker 2: had at Scottsdale's. Yeah, that combined that helped. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: big times, that helped. Marvin. How about you?
Speaker 3: Recency bias, Las Vegas, Paulie.
Speaker 7: New Orleans can handle a lot of people. They're used
Speaker 7: to conventions. It's a very spread out city with different areas.
Speaker 7: They're a one seed.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: Indianapolis was surprisingly easy, did a great job, very centrally located,
Speaker 7: easy to walk, and it had great weather.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that helped that they caught a break with the weather.
Speaker 2: But Minneapolis was great, great, like it was freezing, but
Speaker 2: you know that you like to be able to walk,
Speaker 2: and there were so many great places to go, restaurants, bars,
Speaker 2: the people.
Speaker 12: Yes, Ton, Yeah, I was gonna second that. India was
Speaker 12: really nice. We had a nice steak and shrimp dinner
Speaker 12: and stuff.
Speaker 3: There was stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. PAULI has a movie review.
Speaker 7: I had to recommend this movie. It was on Netflix.
Speaker 7: It's called Carry On with Jason Bateman. I describe it
Speaker 7: as this without die Hard two meets Phone Booth if
Speaker 7: you saw either of those movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Bateman is a bad guy. Yes, Bruce Willis
Speaker 2: is a good guy.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 7: Bateman plays the bad guy role in an airport and
Speaker 7: it's if you ever saw phone Booth? Who's the actor
Speaker 7: Colin fern Ferrell, very phone booth ish person in your ear?
Speaker 7: Fun it's a fun movie.
Speaker 2: They don't have phone booths anymore.
Speaker 7: No, they're all done. Yeah, no phone booth too, and
Speaker 7: the scrap people. It's one of those movies where you
Speaker 7: get about halfway done with it and you're like, I'm
Speaker 7: going to see how this finishes up. I'll Bateman gets
Speaker 7: taken out.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I watched it a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't watch it again.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I like him. I would have liked if he
Speaker 2: was the good guy. Maybe maybe he doesn't like that. Oh,
Speaker 2: I gotta be the good guy again. I want to
Speaker 2: be the bad guy.
Speaker 16: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't watch that. I mean, I watched it,
Speaker 2: but I I kind of recommended it to my wife
Speaker 2: because I said you might like this, and she kept saying,
Speaker 2: what's that movie? Baggage claim? I don't know, no, honey,
Speaker 2: it's carry on. There is no baggage claim. He's carrying
Speaker 2: one baggage claim running in laps around the baggage claim.
Speaker 2: Baggage claim Liam Neeson, I will find your bag and
Speaker 2: then kill you. And I will kill you.
Speaker 3: Yes, time was he believable as a bad guy.
Speaker 12: He's such a good guy you were able to suspend
Speaker 12: disbelief and go with that.
Speaker 2: I do it every day on this show. Tom Well
Speaker 2: said fake laugh. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: There is a movie called Baggage Claim released in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 5: starring Paula Patton, Oh, Derek Luke, Oh, Paula or missus

Speaker 17: long time, six foot two, twenty Just want to make it,
Speaker 17: Just want to make a comment on what you said
Speaker 17: about viewership and loyalty to your team versus gambling.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 17: When me and my buddies are all setting around watching
Speaker 17: a game, we got money on the game, we don't
Speaker 17: care who wins, as long as we win.
Speaker 2: I know that is your loyalty. Now, I didn't have
Speaker 2: that growing up.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I did bet, but I it wasn't one of those
Speaker 2: where I would never bet on a team that I liked,
Speaker 2: Like I didn't want to have them involved in the
Speaker 2: bet because then I couldn't watch the game. This day
Speaker 2: in sports history, Paulie.
