Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Thursday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: dan 's Dan Patrick Show. Yesterday, we sold close to
Speaker 1: four thousand T shirts on the website. Big sale going
Speaker 1: on dan patrick dot com. T shirts just ten dollars.
Speaker 1: We got hats there. Stock is limited going fast. Head
Speaker 1: and shop at dan patrick dot com. Get in on
Speaker 1: all the savings. Got a pull question we update that.
Speaker 1: Will check in with Nick Wright, co host of First
Speaker 1: Things First on Fox Sports One. He'll join us coming
Speaker 1: up momentarily. Jazz roll the Lakers last night one fourteen
Speaker 1: to eighty nine. I know the focus will be on
Speaker 1: the Lakers because that's clickbait, but the Jazz have played
Speaker 1: extremely well. You may not tune in. Maybe last night
Speaker 1: was the first time you tuned in this season to
Speaker 1: see the Utah Jazz. But they're efficient, they are economical.
Speaker 1: They pass the ball, they shoot the three well. They
Speaker 1: probably get as many open looks at the three as
Speaker 1: any team, probably more so than any other team. One
Speaker 1: mcclubn oh I can't wait to wake up no more.
Speaker 1: They get to that YouTube clip of the efficient economical Jazz.
Speaker 1: I said that that you may not it may not
Speaker 1: interest you, but you're not a basketball purist and you
Speaker 1: don't understand the game. I like some passing, I like
Speaker 1: some movement, and Utah Jazz if they played extremely well.
Speaker 1: Now does this translate into anything coming up in May
Speaker 1: or June? Probably not, But last night should have been
Speaker 1: about the Utah Jazz. It won't be. It'll be about
Speaker 1: the Lakers because they lost again without Anthony Davis. The
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs schedule to begin May twenty second, By the way,
Speaker 1: we have no updates on Tiger Woods. Once we do,
Speaker 1: will certainly pass that on to you. Give me the
Speaker 1: poll question. Then we'll get into the popular Nick Wright
Speaker 1: from Fox Sports. First things first, if you were JJ Watt,
Speaker 1: would you rather sign for fifteen million with a good
Speaker 1: team like the Titans or Bills or Packers or a
Speaker 1: title contender like the Bucks or the chief for seven
Speaker 1: point five million? Say the Bucks are the Chiefs. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me start there with Nick Wright, Kansas City Chiefs apologist? Uh,
Speaker 1: could you see J. J. Watt maybe joining come on
Speaker 1: this show? What unbelievable apologist is? At least you got
Speaker 1: my name right this time? Dan, Go ahead, you're gonna
Speaker 1: ask me about JJ Watt. Could you see him joining
Speaker 1: your Kansas City Chiefs to maybe help him win a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Yeah? Listen. And as an added bonus for JJ,
Speaker 1: he could go from a fraudulent, awful barbecue city in
Speaker 1: Houston to the greatest barbecue city in America Kansas City, Missouri.
Speaker 1: And the upgrade of organizations and coaches from the Bill
Speaker 1: O'Brien Jack Easterby reign of terror in Houston to the
Speaker 1: Brett Vach Andy Reid tightly run ship in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: It's just night and day. So for all those reasons
Speaker 1: alongside he would actually get to, you know, play in
Speaker 1: and win a Super Bowl. Those things would all be
Speaker 1: good for him. It's great to see you, by the way,
Speaker 1: it's great to see you, Nick. A couple of things
Speaker 1: to talk to you about. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: agree with me. The Jazz, they have been the best
Speaker 1: team in the NBA, least record wise, may not be exciting,
Speaker 1: may not have household names. It's been impressive what they did.
Speaker 1: But the Lakers are clickbait. So what is the headline today?
Speaker 1: The Lakers are the Jazz, but it's not because they're clickbait.
Speaker 1: But let me let me go to the Jazz. First,
Speaker 1: I heard the beginning of the segment, but I didn't
Speaker 1: hear the very very first words out of your mouth.
Speaker 1: It was odd to me. Why were you spending the
Speaker 1: open of this hour talking about the twenty fifteen Atlanta
Speaker 1: Hawks or was it the twenty eighteen Toronto Raptors. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. It sounded a lot like that this team. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go out on the limb and
Speaker 1: say they're actually, you know, going to be good in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But man, oh man, have you seen Jordan
Speaker 1: Clarkson's true shooting percentage? Because if you don't give them
Speaker 1: the respect, if you don't understand that Georgis Yang is
Speaker 1: going to be just a playoff sniper, well, you're not
Speaker 1: a sophisticated Area Nite basketball fan. We've seen this team before. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: are you not interested in the Jazz because they're not
Speaker 1: interesting or non threatening? What's the Well, I just there's
Speaker 1: a half dozen teams that with a gun to your head,
Speaker 1: you would pick over them to win the title, just
Speaker 1: like the twenty fifteen Hawks. Remember the twenty fifteen Hawks,
Speaker 1: they had their entire team one player of the bump.
Speaker 1: Do you know why that happened, because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we know none of them are that good, but they
Speaker 1: were seventeen to oh, so we gotta give it to them.
Speaker 1: We've seen this story before. It's a fun, nice, cute story,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad for the people of Utah that they
Speaker 1: get it. But this is not a This is not
Speaker 1: a contender in any stretch of the imagination. Now, the Lakers,
Speaker 1: we've also seen this story before. Do you know what
Speaker 1: this Lakers team reminds me of the first Laker team
Speaker 1: Lebron was on. It's like Lebron and a bunch of
Speaker 1: okay pieces because you don't have Anthony Davis and Shrewder
Speaker 1: but more so Davis. That's what this team is. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, like I don't actually think either's a huge
Speaker 1: deal because here's what we know about the Lakers. If
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is not around for the playoffs, they can't
Speaker 1: win the title. But he's gonna be around for the playoffs,
Speaker 1: so I'm not overly concerned with it. And Lebron is
Speaker 1: having every go through his Basketball Reference game log. It's
Speaker 1: usually January, but he has it down two weeks shortly
Speaker 1: before the All Star break. He's that's what's going on
Speaker 1: with him right now? And his shot has failed him
Speaker 1: for the last month. It'll come back, Lakers will be
Speaker 1: fine this load management with Lebron. What should be the
Speaker 1: approach by the Lakers? What should be the approach by Lebron?
Speaker 1: I have listened. I am I'm thirty six years old,
Speaker 1: which makes me a millennial, but there are certain things
Speaker 1: about me that I feel like I am of your generation,
Speaker 1: which you were? You're the silent generation, right Dan, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure which one, but whichever one it is, the
Speaker 1: which is I have this controversial take for people my age,
Speaker 1: which is, when healthy and available, you should go to work.
Speaker 1: Lebron's healthy, he's available, he should probably go to work.
Speaker 1: And Lebron is in this odd almost singular spot as
Speaker 1: an athlete, which is, we operate from the perspective of
Speaker 1: we have to criticize him. So what so if Lebron
Speaker 1: was taking a lot of time off, do we think
Speaker 1: that would be like, you know what, smart, good job Lebron,
Speaker 1: hetty play not overworking. No, you would be criticized for it.
Speaker 1: Lebron is now being criticized for playing every game. Now,
Speaker 1: do I think guys in an eighty two game season.
Speaker 1: It's smart to play all eighty two, Probably not, and
Speaker 1: Lebron's only done that in the later part of his career.
Speaker 1: One time is last year with the Cavs. But I
Speaker 1: also think the league was dan three years ago in
Speaker 1: a very very dangerous spot with the load management. Do
Speaker 1: you remember the nationally televised Spurs Warriors game. Both teams
Speaker 1: were like on pace for sixty five wins and nobody played.
Speaker 1: Kawhi didn't play, Katee didn't play, stepped in't play, Clay
Speaker 1: didn't play, and it was becoming a trim And I
Speaker 1: think Lebron is helping stop that because while guys will
Speaker 1: still rest on some back to backs, if Lebron jumped
Speaker 1: on the Kawhi Leonard from last year load management plan,
Speaker 1: then it would become even more accepted, and that'd be
Speaker 1: terrible for the business of basketball. So I think Lebron's
Speaker 1: responsibility was teammates and a bigger responsibility to the league
Speaker 1: to kind of remind guys, hey, I'm the oldest guy
Speaker 1: out here, I've played more minutes than everybody. I'm available.
Speaker 1: Let's try to be more available to our fans and
Speaker 1: to our teammates. It almost seems like he's doing it
Speaker 1: on purpose to deliver this message like, Hey, I'm an
Speaker 1: old school and I agree with you. You show up
Speaker 1: for work. I mean, my generation, which is a lot
Speaker 1: older than yours, we just showed up for work. We
Speaker 1: didn't get a pat on the back. You just went
Speaker 1: to work. Lebron is going to work. But is it
Speaker 1: smart because his goal is to win a championship and
Speaker 1: be an MVP in that order, is it smart on
Speaker 1: his part to be showing up and playing every night?
Speaker 1: I think it is for him specifically because he has
Speaker 1: shown He and Carl Malone are the only guys in
Speaker 1: league history that I think we can say they their
Speaker 1: body just seems to handle wear and tear differently than
Speaker 1: everyone else. Ever, I mean, he slipped on a wet
Speaker 1: spot on Christmas Day his first year with the Lakers
Speaker 1: and tours growing. Aside from that, he's been indestructible. And
Speaker 1: so I never once watched the playoff series with Lebron
Speaker 1: have been like, you know what, he looks hired, He
Speaker 1: plays more minutes and he looks fine. So I do
Speaker 1: think for certain guys there is an element of you
Speaker 1: need to be peeking at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: But the other thing, and I would I have this
Speaker 1: question for you, Dan. Some of it seems like pseudoscience
Speaker 1: and guesswork, because what happened with Paul George a few
Speaker 1: days ago, it was like it's it's like, okay, he's
Speaker 1: at thirty two and a half minutes, not a second more.
Speaker 1: Do you know what? It reminded me of thirty five
Speaker 1: years ago Jordan when he was coming off the foot injury.
Speaker 1: And I only remember it because he was in the
Speaker 1: last dance. He wanted to come back in the game
Speaker 1: in the last minute. Remember he was arguing with the
Speaker 1: coach and that doctors came down They're like, no, eighteen
Speaker 1: minutes maximum. I'm like, really with this is by our
Speaker 1: science is like, is like our train system, how did
Speaker 1: you move Cole one hundred years ago? Put it on
Speaker 1: a train. We haven't improved that, and we're not improving
Speaker 1: this either. It's like we guess an amount of minutes,
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. So I don't even people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, you've got to listen to the science.
Speaker 1: But I think on the minute stuff, the science is guessing.
Speaker 1: It's just really guesswork. And I've never seen evidence otherwise.
Speaker 1: And in baseball Dan, which I don't talk about a lot,
Speaker 1: but you do it somewhat. It's Jeff Passon wrote a
Speaker 1: great book that since they have been more focused on
Speaker 1: pitch counts like pitch arm, injuries have gone up. So
Speaker 1: some of this I just don't think we have mastered yet.
Speaker 1: And I think airing on the side of all play
Speaker 1: when I'm healthy is pretty smart. He's nick Right, co
Speaker 1: host of First Things First on Fox Sports One. Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving had something on Instagram where he said, maybe we
Speaker 1: changed the logo from Jerry West to Kobe Bryant. Could
Speaker 1: you see the league? I know Jerry West would be
Speaker 1: fine with that because Jerry's embarrassed to be the logo,
Speaker 1: and he brought Kobe into the league, brought him into
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Could you see where the league would sign
Speaker 1: off on Kobe replacing Jerry West is the logo. So
Speaker 1: a few things. One is I read and I didn't
Speaker 1: read a full article about it, but I did read
Speaker 1: yesterday that one of the reasons it has stayed Jerry
Speaker 1: West is they don't have to pay any royalties on
Speaker 1: that logo. And I think if you did it with
Speaker 1: Kobe or with anybody Lebron's block on Iguadala, Michael Jordan anything,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're gonna have to pay a
Speaker 1: royalty on every and that seems untenable. To go from
Speaker 1: zero dollars to even if it's just a small percentage.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's realistic. I do think, though,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to touch a third rail here, that
Speaker 1: Kyrie in his comment on the idea, like his second line,
Speaker 1: he did raise it to me a valid point, which
Speaker 1: is the NBA is a black league. It is an
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly black league, and the success of the league has
Speaker 1: been built for the vast majority by black players. And
Speaker 1: it does seem a little anachronistic that we've got a
Speaker 1: white dude from nineteen sixty two is the logo. But
Speaker 1: I also think do I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't even know that he's the logo? You know? You
Speaker 1: know what, I know what, I think most fans probably
Speaker 1: don't know that that's an actual person that in that logo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, having spoke to Jerry West about this,
Speaker 1: you know you can tell where I don't think they
Speaker 1: conferred with him. They basically just made him the logo
Speaker 1: and then he didn't really acknowledge it for a long time.
Speaker 1: I mean, growing up, I sort of knew it was
Speaker 1: Jerry because there was a picture that accompanied that logo picture.
Speaker 1: But Jerry is embarrassed almost to bring that up. And
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't know if the NBA
Speaker 1: can go, hey, we're gonna have Kobe as the logo.
Speaker 1: What's it going to cost us? Right? But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Kyrie's onto something, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: if if he's onto something that will actually come to fruition. Well,
Speaker 1: I wonder I wonder if renaming some of these awards,
Speaker 1: so the Larry O'Brien, I don't think that's gonna change.
Speaker 1: They just named the finals MVP the Bill Russell. You
Speaker 1: know that that happened a few years ago. I think
Speaker 1: that's good. Does and I apologize for not knowing this.
Speaker 1: Does League MVP? Does that trophy a have an honorific
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people feel like Kobe
Speaker 1: should have won more than one League MVP. He only
Speaker 1: won the one naming that after him almost as a league.
Speaker 1: I do feel like there should be something done for Kobe,
Speaker 1: and I do feel like we should maybe update some
Speaker 1: of these names to the more modernized MBA, But I
Speaker 1: don't know if the logo is what they're going to
Speaker 1: do with it. Yeah, I don't see it happening, but
Speaker 1: I look, I appreciate what Kyrie. That Kyrie has a personality.
Speaker 1: I don't always agree with it, but that he does.
Speaker 1: He is a thinker. Sometimes he thinks too much, sometimes
Speaker 1: he doesn't think enough, but you know that he was
Speaker 1: It's a nice gesture on his part and Kyrie it was.
Speaker 1: If you remember, after Kobe's passing, Kyrie took some time
Speaker 1: away and Kyrie was exception league close with Kobe. And
Speaker 1: I think Kyrie, we don't look at it because he's
Speaker 1: so much smaller, but he's modeled a lot of his
Speaker 1: game after Kobe, even though the games are different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I listen just because sometimes the people who have at
Speaker 1: times the worst ideas often are also the people that
Speaker 1: come up with some of the best ideas. And so
Speaker 1: I feel like this happens in television and radio production
Speaker 1: meetings a lot. The person that is most likely that
Speaker 1: when they throw something out there, you're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: why do we let that guy talk is also a
Speaker 1: guy who about once a week you're like Oh, that's brilliant.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, Kyrie throws a lot
Speaker 1: out there. Some of it's a little wacky, but I
Speaker 1: think he was onto something here without a doubt. I
Speaker 1: think of his last February. Poully did the research that
Speaker 1: the All Star MVP is named after Kobe Brynt. Right,
Speaker 1: they changed it last year. But that's also that's like
Speaker 1: are award you know what I mean? I know, do
Speaker 1: something named the scoring title after him? I don't know,
Speaker 1: do something like Bradley Beale, come on down and receive
Speaker 1: the Kobe Bryant, receive the Kobe Bryant. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: like it. Do you want in on the JJ Watt
Speaker 1: game that we played. We've played it already where we
Speaker 1: think he's gonna end up. Do you do you want to? Sure?
Speaker 1: But yeah, you got one pick. I got one pick.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Hold on, here we go. Here's here's
Speaker 1: the Nick Wright green Bay, Green Bay. Okay, that's my
Speaker 1: pick going on a limb there. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a limb. I just think Green Bay they have
Speaker 1: good cheese, not good barbecue. Come come to can't see
Speaker 1: with the barbecue? JJ? Stay for the championships that would
Speaker 1: be my recommendation. Well, you have lived in Houston, so
Speaker 1: you you are. Yeah, I lived there for four years
Speaker 1: and ate what they Listen Houston folks say it's been
Speaker 1: tough times. I empathize with you immensely. But Texas barbecue
Speaker 1: is fraudulent and not It's not like bad compared to
Speaker 1: its reputation. It's bad compared to food. It's just not good.
Speaker 1: It's the hottest take anyone's going to deliver all year.
Speaker 1: Texas barbecue not good. Thank you, Nick, We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: As always, that's the popular Nick Right, co host of
Speaker 1: First Things First on Funk Sports one. Once again, that
Speaker 1: was Nick Wright's opinion on Texas barbecue. Paul, you guys
Speaker 1: went on a sojourn in Houston at the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: with Houston barbecue right now, He's got a point maybe
Speaker 1: if he's saying Houston doesn't have a specific style to Houston.
Speaker 1: It's more Texas barbecue, beef brisket and so forth, and
Speaker 1: Kansas City style barbecue. It's got more of like a
Speaker 1: tomato based sauce on it. You know, there's less pulled
Speaker 1: pork down in Houston. I don't know. I love Texas barbecue.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't. Kansas City has its own style that's
Speaker 1: unique to their town, and so as Memphis. Memphis is
Speaker 1: more of a sticky sauce. See, I would go Memphis.
Speaker 1: Memphis is more of the more of a Northern style
Speaker 1: where if there is a Northern style where it's more
Speaker 1: sticky sauce, Kansas City is a little more tomato based.
Speaker 1: If you want something good North Carolina, it's called Lexington
Speaker 1: barbecue Lexington style. It's more of a vinegar. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's good too. I could do this all day. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kansas City does have its own style more so than
Speaker 1: Houston does. Not better or worse. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll get to phone calls coming up. Eight seven seven,
Speaker 1: three D P show. More on the Lakers lost to
Speaker 1: the Jazz last night. Am I sensing a lot of us?
Speaker 1: Stay in your lane. I know something, all believe me.
Speaker 1: I know it's coming. Actually, Houston is known for a
Speaker 1: very specific brand of mesquite that you know all of
Speaker 1: that show. Nick right, he's not welcome back. I didn't
Speaker 1: know we were going there, but Nick Wright gave you
Speaker 1: that to you is the hottest take on the year.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. It's coming up. Didn't he call
Speaker 1: it fraudulent? I could. He could have just said, But
Speaker 1: knowing Nick, he can't just say one time. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to compare one barbecue to the other. He said
Speaker 1: food in general, any food that you might like. Take
Speaker 1: a break back after this and the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: I walked in today and got a spring in my step.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. I got an energy, and it's

Speaker 1: Get in on all the savings. They're twenty one players
Speaker 1: all time in the NBA who have made at least
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. Thirteen are active stat of the
Speaker 1: day stat of the day that past out of the
Speaker 1: day stat of the day here comes that what stat
Speaker 1: of the day? I'm not sure if I have the
Speaker 1: names of the players who have made two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: I did say that. You know, you have the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and they made
Speaker 1: the All Star team for a team that is under
Speaker 1: five hundred. What's happened before? This is not the first
Speaker 1: time that it's happened. Last five times that had happened.
Speaker 1: Let's see, was that Bosh and Wade in twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: with the Heat the Lakers, by the way, that's a
Speaker 1: year right, Lebron left okay UH twenty twelve, Dwight Howard
Speaker 1: and Kobe Bryant, Paul Pearson Rondo in twenty eleven with
Speaker 1: the Celtics, Antoine Jamison and Karn Butler. He's an All
Speaker 1: Star seven and UH the O six nets Jason Kidd
Speaker 1: and Vince Card. So it has happened before. It feels
Speaker 1: like these are championship teams that were on their way
Speaker 1: down right after their championships. By the way, some more
Speaker 1: love for the Utah Jazz. The Jazz have four players
Speaker 1: averaging at least fifteen points a game. Toronto's the only
Speaker 1: other team and it has that. No, once again, these
Speaker 1: aren't reasons for you to tune in to watch the Jazz,
Speaker 1: and that's not what I'm saying. You can if you want,
Speaker 1: and you can join me. When I watched the Utah Jazz,
Speaker 1: the jazz team makes six more three pointers per game
Speaker 1: than its opponent. That's the best differential for any team.
Speaker 1: All Ton, Yes, you're not watching the Jazz. You're appreciating
Speaker 1: the Jazz. I appreciate the jazz. But I've watched the jazz,
Speaker 1: but it's it's an appreciation, not a entertainment vehicle. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go oh my god, like when you
Speaker 1: walk calmly through a you know, art gallery. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: just admire. You just you watch and you admire. Yes, mcclub,
Speaker 1: I mean, how about next hour's Paul who's a better Bogdanovich?
Speaker 1: The Jazz is um bojan or the Hawks bogdon Because
Speaker 1: apparently the Jazz or the stories did anyone here not
Speaker 1: know they were two different people? Because I always thought
Speaker 1: I thought they just got traded for each other a
Speaker 1: couple of times a week. I thought they both played
Speaker 1: for Sacramento at a one point. I think they did.
Speaker 1: They have the same stats too, by the way, exactly
Speaker 1: the same points per game. Almas get a couple of
Speaker 1: phone calls in here Christian in Utah, like Christian, congratulations
Speaker 1: on your Utah jazz thankers. I think he. I think
Speaker 1: he's just appreciating the show. Hey, didn't want to talk.
Speaker 1: Can we take phone calls? We don't know if we
Speaker 1: can take phone calls. Oh, that's a good question. We
Speaker 1: couldn't take that one. Okay, try another. All right, how
Speaker 1: about Jamie and North Carolinia. You want to give that
Speaker 1: a go, because that's probably not gonna go well either.
Speaker 1: You know, you just can't find good help anymore? Sure can't,
Speaker 1: can you? Yeah? I thought we had good help, not anymore?
Speaker 1: Back to the drawing board, I guess. Yeah. Well, see
Speaker 1: if we can hire somebody, Yes, it might be for
Speaker 1: the best. With angry jazz fans, angry Houston people, I
Speaker 1: think there would be a lot of people angry. The
Speaker 1: PGA tour Springs Swing lifts off in Florida today. It's
Speaker 1: the WGC Workday championship and coverage starts this weekend at
Speaker 1: two thirty Eastern on the NBC. You know what I
Speaker 1: was thinking today, I should have said it yesterday. Every
Speaker 1: player on tour should wear red today in honor of
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods when they tee off, because I'm wondering, you know,
Speaker 1: they want to pay tribute to him. Everybody's sending their
Speaker 1: best wishes. How great would that be if every player
Speaker 1: who teed up today wore red in honor of Tiger Woods.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be great. We'll try to get to
Speaker 1: more phone calls coming up. It's a National Chili Day,
Speaker 1: but it's also a chowder day as well. I don't
Speaker 1: really recognize chowder. Wow, No, I don't. You're like like
Speaker 1: Nick Houston barbecue. Well, I can recognize chowder, but I
Speaker 1: don't recognize it as being something great. You don't like
Speaker 1: clam chowder? No? Is this just like acause you're in
Speaker 1: New England and you have to be like, I don't
Speaker 1: actually like chowder and I don't sound like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I grew up in Cincinnati, where we have chili. We haven't.
Speaker 1: We don't really do chowder. We have gold Star Chili
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati but no, I don't do chowder, which is
Speaker 1: essentially soup. Okay, but it's still called gold Star chili. No,
Speaker 1: I don't do chowder. I'm I chili. Yeah, always good.
Speaker 1: Chili is always good, can't go wrong. But chowder Noah,
Speaker 1: not not in that. Am I gonna upset all the
Speaker 1: chowder heads out there? How can you not like chowder?
Speaker 1: How many more um like food oriented groups of people
Speaker 1: getting upset today? Between Houston and now the Greater New
Speaker 1: England's chowder region. I'm not worried about it. They don't
Speaker 1: seem like a real vocal group, you know, the the
Speaker 1: chowder group in New England. Yes, both the chili defenders
Speaker 1: it's natural chili. They can get pretty uh saucy, especially
Speaker 1: people in Texas. People in Texas especially don't want beans
Speaker 1: in their chili, and to a point where they make
Speaker 1: fun of you if you put beans in each other.
Speaker 1: And I'm not advocating anything, I'm just presenting, okay, don't
Speaker 1: want to get on their bad side. There's also probably
Speaker 1: few people in Utah that despise jello. For whatever reason.
Speaker 1: We've kind of all put them under the umbrella that
Speaker 1: we assume everyone from Utah just loves jello and a
Speaker 1: few could be sending us some social media, you know,
Speaker 1: to ease up on that. And we can't assume everyone
Speaker 1: likes it. Do they have the internet in Utah? Why? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. The jello. Jello is like a nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty dessert. Like jello is not a modern food. When's
Speaker 1: the last time you had jello? Four weeks ago, our
Speaker 1: kids wanted jello. We made it, We put some cool
Speaker 1: up on top. Jed was a millionaire. Yeah, but if
Speaker 1: you're a grown up and your kids are grown up,
Speaker 1: you're not having jello. It's a refreshing It's like going
Speaker 1: back to your past. Like when I watch that commercial
Speaker 1: where the guy leaves the jello on top of his
Speaker 1: car that insurance company or whatever, Geico. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: know that one. Yeah, there's a goldfish on the top
Speaker 1: of another cold fish. Like I I wouldn't have any
Speaker 1: problem if the jello fell off the back of the
Speaker 1: car there, yes, time. But if you're on a liquid
Speaker 1: diet though, it's really that broth and you know, maybe
Speaker 1: some gingerbell, the jello becomes a significant part of the diet.
Speaker 1: I think if I would, you know, if you're in
Speaker 1: the hospital. Maybe you've had jello, but I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that you go, you know what, I'm really jones in
Speaker 1: for some jello pre colonoscopy. Jello is a must. That's
Speaker 1: pretty much your last meal before going through this. Tim
Speaker 1: Legler from the Mother's Ship Will Jonas coming up next down.
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on the Utah And should the
Speaker 1: Laker fans be nervous about what's going on? I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's any other real news now that Devin
Speaker 1: Booker is named to the All Star Team, Are there
Speaker 1: any other headlines going on with the NBA? Yeah, McLevin.
Speaker 1: I saw a highlight last night where it was Danielle
Speaker 1: Gallinari was shooting logo threes. Yeah, like fifteen feet behind
Speaker 1: the line. Is that the new thing in the NBA?
Speaker 1: That the you can't shoot the three, you have to
Speaker 1: be even farther back. I was watching last night. I
Speaker 1: don't even know the game, but you had somebody just
Speaker 1: it was just a normal coming down and setting up
Speaker 1: the offense, and they took a three from about thirty
Speaker 1: five feet away and I went, how could that be
Speaker 1: the design or? And it's not something like it was
Speaker 1: Trey Young where you go, hey, you got the green
Speaker 1: light or Steph Curry, it was just like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Like, why are that's the shot you could
Speaker 1: That's the best shot you could get. Did it go in? No? No?
Speaker 1: But it feels like now because it's Steph Curry, I
Speaker 1: can credit Steph Curry, but I got to give him
Speaker 1: a little bit of blink. It's like, and I'll make
Speaker 1: it personal. It's it's similar to when Oberman and myself
Speaker 1: did highlights on Sports Center. We got credit because we
Speaker 1: did it differently, but we deserve blame because everybody then
Speaker 1: wanted to do highlights that way. You watch Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: everybody goes, he's not a big guy and he's shooting
Speaker 1: that far. Now we want to do it. The most
Speaker 1: influential basketball player when it comes to style, the ability
Speaker 1: for people who are regular people, kids who know that
Speaker 1: they're not going to play maybe even high school, they
Speaker 1: all think they can be Steph Curry. There's no other
Speaker 1: player that's played where you have all of us going,
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to play like Jordan. I know
Speaker 1: I can't play like Jordan. Can I shoot where Steph
Speaker 1: Curry is? When I was younger, not that I could
Speaker 1: make them, but I could shoot there. Every kid now,
Speaker 1: if you watch a pickup game, there is nothing that's
Speaker 1: out of their range in their minds and it's crazy.
Speaker 1: But even college basketball, it's tough to watch college basketball
Speaker 1: because there are guys. Most guys can't shoot. It feels like,
Speaker 1: but they think they can shoot, and that doesn't stop
Speaker 1: them from shooting. And it feels like the best play
Speaker 1: drawn up is I don't know, okay, get three. Yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: I was watching Marquette in North Carolina last night and
Speaker 1: it was it was kind of refreshing because it was
Speaker 1: the opposite. North Carolina was doing this full court press.
Speaker 1: Even though they lost, it was it was really fantastic
Speaker 1: to see a college team because nobody in the pros
Speaker 1: ever does a full court press ever. But North Carolina
Speaker 1: was doing this great full court press and it was
Speaker 1: there hassling Marquette and there was pick and roll basketball
Speaker 1: and yeah, but Carolina got blown out right. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying from an aesthetics of watching the game, I was
Speaker 1: appreciating the context. Yeah, that's a devastating loss for North
Speaker 1: Carolina because I don't know if they're going to get
Speaker 1: in the tournament. But Marquette looked great. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: watched that. It was like forty five to twenty two,
Speaker 1: and I went, woo, yes, McLevin, But you don't stand
Speaker 1: a chance in college basketball without the three, right, Isn't
Speaker 1: that how you win because of the you know, the
Speaker 1: science of the game. Well, I can go back to
Speaker 1: Paul west Head at Loyal La Merrymount and Rick Pettino
Speaker 1: at Providence. Those are two of the coaches. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'm leaving out somebody, but Pettino had a team
Speaker 1: with Billy Donovan as one of his star players, and
Speaker 1: they weren't. He didn't have great players. He probably didn't
Speaker 1: have very good players. He had some good players, but
Speaker 1: he had a philosophy of shooting the three. And we
Speaker 1: know what Paul Westead did with Loyal La Merrymount. They
Speaker 1: shot the three, but I mean, there's was just we
Speaker 1: want to we want to get you running, we want
Speaker 1: to make this high scoring in what Westead did. But
Speaker 1: Rick Pettino back at Providence, that was an amazing tournament
Speaker 1: run and they shot the three. But it feels like,
Speaker 1: you know, college basketball moved the three back. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: if they get to the NBA three if like it's
Speaker 1: too much of a good thing. I'd like to see
Speaker 1: good shooters, but I don't like to see bad shooters.
Speaker 1: And it's not like you had bad dunkers, right, you know,
Speaker 1: it's not like, hey, I'm gonna try to dunk like
Speaker 1: John Stockton didn't go I guess I got to try
Speaker 1: to dunk. Here, you get bad three point shooters. And
Speaker 1: that's the problem with you know, watching a lot of
Speaker 1: this is certainly in college because you're going, gosh, how
Speaker 1: about inside mid range jumper, pick and roll. It's like
Speaker 1: something little ball movement. It's just five guys on the perimeter. Yeah.
Speaker 1: College basketball brought in the three point line in the
Speaker 1: eighty six eighty seventh season. Indiana won the title that
Speaker 1: year and Steve Alford became a star, and it was
Speaker 1: it was new at the time. He averaged six three
Speaker 1: point attempts per game, which was by far the most
Speaker 1: in the country. He shot fifty three percent from three.
Speaker 1: He ended up being like one of the players of
Speaker 1: the year. They won the title, and that was the
Speaker 1: direct effect of the three point line that year. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if Steve Alford was playing now, you'd have
Speaker 1: to have him shoot. And this is Bob Knight. You know,
Speaker 1: Bob Knight doesn't strike me as I'm going to embrace
Speaker 1: the three. It's like Greg Popovich. You know, Popovitch still
Speaker 1: hasn't embraced the three. But you give Steve Alford the
Speaker 1: green light, and you know he was a knockdown shooter.
Speaker 1: But even with Larry Bird, you know, you see those
Speaker 1: numbers people. You know, at that time, we didn't think
Speaker 1: that was smart basketball, the three point shot or Bird
Speaker 1: would have taken ten a game. You know, Dennis Scott,
Speaker 1: like those guys, Dell Curry, they would have taken ten
Speaker 1: a game. At least you would want them too because
Speaker 1: they were great shooters. And now you got guys who
Speaker 1: aren't good shooters and they're taking threes. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll try to get phone calls here. Coming out. We'll
Speaker 1: check in with Tim Legler. Be good to visit with
Speaker 1: Legs on loan from the Mother's Ship. And we're back
Speaker 1: after this and The Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six
Speaker 1: to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can
Speaker 1: find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream
Speaker 1: us live on the Peacock app. Nobody thinks the NFL
Speaker 1: Scouting Combine is perfect At this point, Most smart football
Speaker 1: fans and hopefully the teams realize that working out in
Speaker 1: shorts doesn't exactly translate directly to the field. But this year,
Speaker 1: teams they're going to miss out on the annual event,
Speaker 1: and they're going to miss out more than you'd think. Normally,
Speaker 1: the on field workouts would be starting today and the
Speaker 1: league canceled the combine this year. Now teams have to
Speaker 1: gather as much information as they can remotely. It's going
Speaker 1: to be difficult to do that. And what happens at
Speaker 1: the combine, I know we see the forty yard dash
Speaker 1: in the cone drill and how many times can you
Speaker 1: bench to twenty five? The important parts, from what I'm told,
Speaker 1: is the medical being able to go over the medicals
Speaker 1: and being able to have especial a quarterback stand in
Speaker 1: front of the whiteboard in diagram plays in real time.
Speaker 1: That's what they want to know, that's what they want
Speaker 1: to see. Scouting staffs, they're getting limited information, they know
Speaker 1: less about the prospects, and they'll be able to meet
Speaker 1: fewer of them in person, so it's going to be
Speaker 1: a real test when it comes to draft day. The
Speaker 1: draft is already a crapshoot, even the top five picks
Speaker 1: far from guarantees, and then you add in the unusual
Speaker 1: elements of the pandemic and this might be one of
Speaker 1: the stranger drafts in NFL history. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be top heavy with quarterbacks, or at least it
Speaker 1: feels that way right now. There'll probably be a few
Speaker 1: trades in here as well in the first round, but
Speaker 1: there's always one outlier. There's always a team where you go,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that one coming. It feels like every
Speaker 1: year somebody surprises you. They fell in love with somebody,
Speaker 1: They went up and got that guy, and that's probably
Speaker 1: going to be the case this year. Is somebody going
Speaker 1: to fall in love with somebody at number two? Can
Speaker 1: you offer a page that the Jacksonville Jaguars would go?
Speaker 1: Let me think about that. Could you offer four first
Speaker 1: round draft picks and a player would Jacksonville be interested in? Then?
Speaker 1: Now I wouldn't. I would say I want Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: And that's why urban Meyer took this job. If he
Speaker 1: had the number two pick in the draft. I don't
Speaker 1: think he takes this job now. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's acknowledged that. I don't know if he would acknowledge that.
Speaker 1: But that's a question I would ask him. If you
Speaker 1: didn't have the number one pick, would you have taken
Speaker 1: this job? Because Trevor gives you time. You got the
Speaker 1: financial aspect of this, the fans aspect of this. Nobody's
Speaker 1: saying Jacksonville is gonna win in year one or year two.
Speaker 1: Now year three, you're going to ramp up the pressure.
Speaker 1: Now urban Meyer is going to put enough pressure on
Speaker 1: himself that it doesn't matter what happens in year three
Speaker 1: with outside pressure. But going into this draft, Davante Smith,
Speaker 1: you still have questions about him. Teams have questions about him.
Speaker 1: Is Jamar Chase, the LSU wide receiver who sat out
Speaker 1: last year a better pro prospect? Davante Smith was wonderful
Speaker 1: in college. Jamar Chase could be a better pro prospect
Speaker 1: out of LSU. What do you do if you're the Jets?
Speaker 1: Is Zach Wilson a lateral move for you? If you
Speaker 1: bring him in? Does it make more sense to keep
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold trying for a year, and then maybe you
Speaker 1: get some draft picks here where you can build up
Speaker 1: your roster. Then you have the Atlanta Falcons. Do the
Speaker 1: Falcons go all in on a quarterback here? They got
Speaker 1: the fourth pick overall? How bad do you want? Zach
Speaker 1: Wilson mac Jones is moving up. How he's moving up,
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure because he hasn't played a football
Speaker 1: game in a couple of months, but he's moving up now.
Speaker 1: He makes all the throws. Okay, the tape doesn't lie.
Speaker 1: I always love, you know, when these guys look at
Speaker 1: their pro day or there's the combine and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden they outsmart themselves. You know, I go
Speaker 1: back Teddy Bridgewater Lamar Jackson weren't quite sure. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater was tough. Now, obviously he went through the
Speaker 1: devastating knee injury. Lamar Jackson did what you wanted him
Speaker 1: to do. In college. He dominated. He was a highlight.
Speaker 1: He could run, he could pass, and can he can
Speaker 1: he throw outside the numbers? Can he throw somebody open?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know with what I saw
Speaker 1: at Louisville, he was pretty damn good. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: know what somebody saw with Mitchell Trubisky. I don't know
Speaker 1: what somebody saw with Daniel Jones. Where they went we
Speaker 1: have to have that guy, Zach Wilson. I watched when
Speaker 1: he was really good and I watched when he was
Speaker 1: really bad against Coastal Carolina. I'm guessing he's somewhere in
Speaker 1: between right now. Is that worth? The number two pick
Speaker 1: in the draft, got a big arm. He's been compared
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers as far as talent goes. But Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Do I think he throws a
Speaker 1: better football than twa Yes, I do, but I've seen
Speaker 1: it look easy for Dwayne Haskins, and it's not easy
Speaker 1: when you get to the pros, and Dwayne Haskins struggled.
Speaker 1: But mac Jones has a great offensive line, great running back,
Speaker 1: great targets, and one of the great coaches in the
Speaker 1: history of the sport. Other than that, that's the hard part.
Speaker 1: Now I don't even get to be around him. And
Speaker 1: then I got to figure out is he a top
Speaker 1: ten quarterback? Because I think he's going to end up
Speaker 1: being in the top ten. And this goes back to
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. I have a friend who's
Speaker 1: a scout. And he said, hey, mac Jones is moving up.
Speaker 1: I said, he hadn't played. He goes, but we're getting information. Now.
Speaker 1: That's where you reach out to Saban, That's where you
Speaker 1: reach out to defensive coordinators for other college teams, like
Speaker 1: they have this whole process here. And I said, and
Speaker 1: so I said it on the air, I said, mac
Speaker 1: Jones is moving up. He was a late first round
Speaker 1: pick and here he comes. Then it was well, maybe
Speaker 1: fifteen the Patriots take him. Now we're talking top ten
Speaker 1: for mac Jones. I don't know how good he is.
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask, I don't know how good he is justin fields,
Speaker 1: I don't know how good he is. It's going to
Speaker 1: be even harder this year when it comes to draft picks.
Speaker 1: And without the Combine. You know, we've seen teams with
Speaker 1: when they're allowed to be around players, when they can
Speaker 1: go to the Combine, go to their pro day, they
Speaker 1: have everything there for them, and they still with and
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see And that's why I
Speaker 1: don't understand what the Texans are doing, because if Houston
Speaker 1: knows this is a dead end street with DeShawn Watson,
Speaker 1: that we know it, we don't want to admit it,
Speaker 1: but we know it. Then you have to say, at
Speaker 1: what point do we go. The timing is right to
Speaker 1: just say we've got a tagsail. Everybody, come in, tell
Speaker 1: us what you want to offer for DeShawn Watson, because
Speaker 1: you know, to exacerbate the problem, Deshaun Watson can then
Speaker 1: say to the Texans that's a good deal for you,
Speaker 1: that's not a good deal for me, because he can
Speaker 1: be to a trade, but I still want to know
Speaker 1: what you what are you willing to give up? And
Speaker 1: I would just sit down with him and say, look, DeShawn,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to be here, tell us the
Speaker 1: teams that you would go to. Now if you exhaust
Speaker 1: all the avenues and we say, you know what, you
Speaker 1: don't want to be here because of ownership or or
Speaker 1: the front office or hiring, you know, practices that help
Speaker 1: us trade you. That that would be Mike, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to have the market dry up from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of maybe I lose two teams that would be
Speaker 1: interested because they're gonna go, well, all right, let's go
Speaker 1: into the draft, or let's see if we can trade,
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get Teddy Bridgewater Jacoby Brissette.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get Marcus Mariota, because teams
Speaker 1: are gonna go, all right, we got to get somebody
Speaker 1: for next year. And then you're gonna go into the
Speaker 1: draft where you're gonna have probably five quarterbacks in the
Speaker 1: first round and four in the top ten twelve picks.
Speaker 1: That's where if I'm the Texans, take advantage. Now, get
Speaker 1: in front of people and then see what everybody's willing
Speaker 1: to offer, because I think what you're gonna do is
Speaker 1: you're going to turn off some teams and they're gonna go, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just do our due diligence on this player, this
Speaker 1: draft pick, trade potential, those kind of things. That's what's surprising.
