Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Pops a Patrid. So sports may be hard
Speaker 1: to come by at the moment. Nothing's permanent, permanent, but
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show is impossible to miss. From our
Speaker 1: podcast to YouTube, to the iHeartRadio app list in any
Speaker 1: way you want, anytime, anywhere, probably at your house. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna make some assumptions. Patrick, and welcome to the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Truly amazed, just a week away from
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, extremely competent. Nobody brings you bigger guests
Speaker 1: or better experts. Dan Orlovsky Football Islands, former NFL quarterback.
Speaker 1: Think of all the quarterbacks that we've talked about in
Speaker 1: the draft in the last fifteen twenty years that win,
Speaker 1: the first two or three things out of people's mouth
Speaker 1: are big, he's strong. More often than that those cats
Speaker 1: have failed because that stuff doesn't matter. It should be
Speaker 1: the other way, the mental, and so that's what concerns
Speaker 1: me about. Justin Herbert is like, no one's going to
Speaker 1: manus our great and six or gosh, it's after a
Speaker 1: SE's ridiculous, or he's just got this ability to make
Speaker 1: all these different kinds of toth those all the things
Speaker 1: that people talk about are like that high talk about
Speaker 1: that he struggled with broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cave,
Speaker 1: and that Dan that's holes. It's Dan Patrick Final Hour.
Speaker 1: On this Friday, Trigger Meet Friday, we will crown our
Speaker 1: Meat Madness Champ. That'll be in about a half hour.
Speaker 1: Voting will close and we'll hand out a trigger grill.
Speaker 1: You can still vote if you like. Go to the
Speaker 1: website Dan Patrick dot com. While you're there, check out
Speaker 1: the T shirts. We have the Tampa Bay t shirts
Speaker 1: still going hot and heavy there. And we haven't received
Speaker 1: a cease and desists yet from Tom Brady, but maybe
Speaker 1: that's fourth hopefully that's forthcoming. We don't check our mail
Speaker 1: around here, that's the problem. I gotta get Dylan, who
Speaker 1: does the graphics for the TV portion of the program.
Speaker 1: I got to get him to go to the post
Speaker 1: office here and check and see if we got a
Speaker 1: cease and desist one of the I have a couple
Speaker 1: of things that are pretty cool. I have a letter
Speaker 1: that Commissioner Stern sent to Mark Cuban where he got fined,
Speaker 1: and I said to Cuban, you've been find so many times.
Speaker 1: Can I have one of those letters? And then I
Speaker 1: framed it and put it in my office here in
Speaker 1: the man Cave. That's pretty good. But a cease and
Speaker 1: desist from Tom Brady with the Tampa Bay T shirts
Speaker 1: that would be great, and maybe an autograph picture, a
Speaker 1: season desist and an autograph picture, and then we'll consider that.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. A final hour here coming up,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to the PJA Commissioner, Jay Monahan. Golf's coming back.
Speaker 1: Golf's coming back in June, at least first week in June,
Speaker 1: and that's what they're at least that's the time frame.
Speaker 1: I don't think fans are going to be out there.
Speaker 1: All of these different scenarios have to do with fans
Speaker 1: not being in attendance, and there's a variety of scenarios.
Speaker 1: Let me run something by you. Now, this isn't going
Speaker 1: to happen, but these are things that are being explored.
Speaker 1: Baseball was looking at the All Star weekend in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: so that's the middle of July, to have a season
Speaker 1: kickoff event. They were going to have two LA teams.
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger and Mike Trout would pick their All Star
Speaker 1: teams in a similar fashion to how the NBA does
Speaker 1: you're gonna have it in LA and you're gonna let
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger and Mike because you're not going to be
Speaker 1: able to vote on this as a fan into the
Speaker 1: All Star Game, and they would pick their team for
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. They also were trying to look
Speaker 1: at the start of the season over the Fourth of
Speaker 1: July weekend with no fans. They're also the scenario that
Speaker 1: I'm being told is the World Series was going to
Speaker 1: be played in Los Angeles in November, whether or not
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were involved. It was going to be at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. But you know California's statement from two days
Speaker 1: ago saying that large sporting crowds would probably not happen
Speaker 1: before the end of the year ended, the possibility of
Speaker 1: those scenarios. This hasn't been made public, I don't think,
Speaker 1: but that these are two scenarios where you have All
Speaker 1: Star festivities that kick off and you had Cody Bellinger
Speaker 1: and Mike Trout We're going to pick teams, and that
Speaker 1: they were going to hold the World Series in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles at Dodger Stadium, whether the Dodgers were in there
Speaker 1: or not. Mclove and update the poll results if you
Speaker 1: can okay put up that signature food question. I know
Speaker 1: it's silly, but it's Friday of the Danettes and you
Speaker 1: who has the best city food cheese stakes number one?
Speaker 1: Then Chicago Beef Sandwiches, and then you and todder typher
Speaker 1: third A distant one percent is a new Jersey pork roll.
Speaker 1: That's Seaton's recommendation of pork roll. I've been to Jersey
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't know if I've ever had a
Speaker 1: pork roll. Oh, man, you don't know what you're missing.
Speaker 1: You guys lead the league in diners, though, don't you
Speaker 1: in Jersey? Yeah? Yeah, we got a strong diner culture
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. Yeah. We have gold Star and Skyline
Speaker 1: Chili at Cincinnati and Montgomery in ribs, which is pretty tasty.
Speaker 1: But I was trying to squeeze in White Castle Hamburgers
Speaker 1: in there, but I found out that I think they
Speaker 1: originated in Wichita. We did the research there, but we'll
Speaker 1: take it. The white one is great. Get a suitcase
Speaker 1: of White castles, man, Yeah, good stuff. All right. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about the Bulls documentary. The last dance we
Speaker 1: had the director on the fact that they're not even
Speaker 1: done yet. They got six episodes done. They got two
Speaker 1: in the red zone and then two that it feels
Speaker 1: like they're at the one yard line as they're finishing
Speaker 1: this up and Michael Jordan is still I guess involved
Speaker 1: in the process here of you know, Michael wants this
Speaker 1: to be great, and once he committed to doing this,
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to make sure that they were
Speaker 1: going to present this in the way that he thought
Speaker 1: was honest and who they were going to interview. But
Speaker 1: what I and I asked Jason Hare, who is the
Speaker 1: director of this. I said, who is not going to
Speaker 1: like how they're portrayed? And He's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm portraying everybody honestly. I said, who's not gonna like this?
Speaker 1: He said, well, Isaiah Thomas. We asked for Isaiah to
Speaker 1: join us. He was on XM Serious XM NBA Radio
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and he had this to say when asked
Speaker 1: the question of Lebron or Michael Jordan, who's better? And
Speaker 1: this I think on the heels of Bill Lane Beer,
Speaker 1: Isaiah's teammate who was asked to pick between Lebron and Michael.
Speaker 1: But we'll hear from Isaiah Thomas. The NBA Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer and then we'll hear from Bill Lane Beer. When
Speaker 1: it comes to the Lebron in the Jordan debate, I've
Speaker 1: said that I think Lebron is a more complete basketball
Speaker 1: player all around than Jordan was. Jordan was, you know,
Speaker 1: a minute score and he could score the basketball. But
Speaker 1: what Lebron James has done in terms of passing, scoring, rebounding, winning,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of just a hall around player.
Speaker 1: You know, in my opinion, Lebron James is a better
Speaker 1: all around player now, Michael Jordan is a more devastating scorer.
Speaker 1: When you talk about you know, assisting and passing and
Speaker 1: getting people involved, as you know, Lambria said, you know,
Speaker 1: it took Jordan a while to figure out how to
Speaker 1: do that, how to get his teammates involved, how to
Speaker 1: make his teammates better. It took him a while to
Speaker 1: learn how to do that. Lebron James came into the
Speaker 1: league understanding how to do that, and he's been doing
Speaker 1: that his whole career. All right. I mean I said
Speaker 1: this in the first hour. I look at Lebron as
Speaker 1: a more all around, well rounded player. But understand this,
Speaker 1: when we talk about Isaiah talked about Michael as a
Speaker 1: great scorer. Michael was also I believe defensive player of
Speaker 1: the Year. I'm going to guess he was on first
Speaker 1: team All NBA Defense probably ten years in his career.
Speaker 1: There's only offense and defense in the NBA, and Mike
Speaker 1: was great at both ends of the floor. Now, was
Speaker 1: he a great teammate? Did he make teammates better? We
Speaker 1: can argue that was he a better passer? No? Was
Speaker 1: he a better rebounder? No? Could Lebron score in more
Speaker 1: ways than Michael? Yes, in my opinion, yes. But if
Speaker 1: I'm winning a title and there's one game, I'm taking Mike,
Speaker 1: and if you ask Isaiah that, I wonder what his
Speaker 1: answer would be. Here's Bill lane Beer, also part of
Speaker 1: the Bad Boys. He was on First Take, and he
Speaker 1: had this to say about picking between Lebron and Michael.
Speaker 1: I'm very vocal. I think Lebron is the best player
Speaker 1: it's ever played the game. He's six foot eight, two
Speaker 1: eighty five pounds, runs like the wind and jumps out
Speaker 1: of the gym. And more importantly, when he came into
Speaker 1: league from day one, he knew how to involve his
Speaker 1: teammate to win, and that's something that Jordan had to
Speaker 1: learn for a long time now if you go buy championships,
Speaker 1: obviously Michael Jordan has more championships. But I think Lebron
Speaker 1: in any generation would be doing what he's doing right
Speaker 1: now all these years. And I think he had the
Speaker 1: god of the day. I firmly believe that he's the
Speaker 1: best basketball player in the history of the game. All right,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean, this is what's fun about this. Now.
Speaker 1: It gets tiring after a while. Nobody it's when you
Speaker 1: argue politics. Nobody ever goes you know you're right. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be a Republican. You know what, You're right.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a Democrat. Like it never happens.
Speaker 1: It's a sport. You go back and forth. And if
Speaker 1: you're there with Michael Jordan and you're in the trenches
Speaker 1: with Mike, you're not changing. You're gonna go wire to wire.
Speaker 1: You're You're not You're just gonna go Nope. Mike's the
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. Mike never missed a game winning shot. No,
Speaker 1: he did. Example poll actually true. I went back and
Speaker 1: looked at this Seattle Supersonic series and Michael didn't play well.
Speaker 1: I thought Seattle was a better team. He sorry, Paul,
Speaker 1: So he got whiplashed there. I think Mike shot forty
Speaker 1: one percent, like he wasn't great. I thought Sean Kemp
Speaker 1: at times was the best player on the floor. But
Speaker 1: you know, you don't think of Mike not having a
Speaker 1: great game. Lebron's had some incredible games, absolutely incredible games.
Speaker 1: But we only look at what he didn't do. We
Speaker 1: don't look at what he does with Mike. We look
Speaker 1: at what he did, not what he didn't do. And
Speaker 1: that's where it's not fair. I you know, you can
Speaker 1: you can make an argument if you said, who do
Speaker 1: you have to take, you know, number one pick overall.
Speaker 1: I can take Kareem and and you have nobody who
Speaker 1: can stop Kareem no one, And I can have you know,
Speaker 1: young Kareem was a guy who was going thirty one,
Speaker 1: sixteen and four, you know, block shots. It's it's a
Speaker 1: fun argument, it's a fun discussion, but it's not winnable
Speaker 1: either way. Now you can say scoreboard with Jordan as
Speaker 1: six titles. Okay, Lebron to me, But you know, Lebron learned,
Speaker 1: Kobe learned, they learned from Michael. You know, they watched
Speaker 1: It's and now you're gonna have a whole new generation
Speaker 1: of players learning from Steph Curry. They're not learning from Lebron.
Speaker 1: You you can't be six eight, you know, two hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty five pounds, but you can be six three
Speaker 1: one eighty and do what Steph does in your mind.
Speaker 1: But you can't go, Hey, I'm gonna be a Lebron, Like,
Speaker 1: can you play in the backyard? Who goes, Hey, I'm Lebron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not. Hey, I'm Jordan's. Well, no you're not, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Vince Carter. No you're not, Hey, I'm Steph Curry. Okay,
Speaker 1: anybody can fire from three point range and now they
Speaker 1: want you to do that. Though it's fun to have
Speaker 1: this discussion the documentary and how we're going to look
Speaker 1: at Jordan, I'm curious about this is what I'm really
Speaker 1: interested in. How what we think of Jordan when this
Speaker 1: is all said and done. It's a whole new generation
Speaker 1: seeing this, and you're going to see it as it
Speaker 1: was happening in real time. And I don't think you're
Speaker 1: gonna like what you see with Michael Jordan. The personality
Speaker 1: was But if I'm Michael Jordan, I don't care what
Speaker 1: you think I didn't care then, I don't care now
Speaker 1: unless he's saying, you know, I'm getting older, I'd like
Speaker 1: to have a little softer image. If you think that way,
Speaker 1: wait till you see him when he has the tablet
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Thomas talking about him and the bowls and
Speaker 1: he basically wants to kick his butt. Now he wants
Speaker 1: to do that. He's not softening his image. Yeah. Point,
Speaker 1: do you guys think there could be some of the
Speaker 1: opposite reaction to the Jordan documentary after seeing how competitive
Speaker 1: and not friendly he was to even teammates and competition
Speaker 1: people are gonna say, you know, this new generation, they
Speaker 1: could use a little bit of that, this younger generation
Speaker 1: of athlete, instead of being so friendly and partnering and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, why don't they be more like Mike
Speaker 1: and more, more of an assassin and more instead of
Speaker 1: considered about marketing and being friendly with each other. I
Speaker 1: can see that direction as well. Oh, I'm all for it,
Speaker 1: But you know I've been saying that before where a
Speaker 1: long time with you know, I don't I don't want
Speaker 1: to be friends with you. I can be friends at
Speaker 1: but not on the court. But and that's the way
Speaker 1: Michael was that's the way Bird was, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? They Magic and Isaiah were friends, which I
Speaker 1: didn't like that. You know, you can be friends, but
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need that where you kiss him
Speaker 1: on the cheek before a game, you know, kiss him
Speaker 1: on the cheek in the tunnel before again? Like this,
Speaker 1: go on play you want to kill him? All right,
Speaker 1: you're friends. I would never if you're my friend on
Speaker 1: the court, you're not my friend. And that's the way
Speaker 1: Michael approached everything. He couldn't do it nowadays. It's not
Speaker 1: PC and that's the shame of this. Like Lebron is
Speaker 1: perfect for today, Michael would not be perfect for today.
Speaker 1: Like we would marvel at Jordan, we wouldn't love Jordan.
Speaker 1: Could you'd be like that guy's a jerk man? Did
Speaker 1: you hear he punched Steve? Who punches Steve Kerr? Like? Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Michael Jordan. I asked this to Fritzie.
Speaker 1: Things to know about year end NFL Player Association Top
Speaker 1: fifty players sales list? Okay, I don't care. At the
Speaker 1: end of the year, I want to know about Brady
Speaker 1: and Tampa. Who cares about this list? I need the
Speaker 1: updated list? Patrick Mahomes moved past Tom Brady into the
Speaker 1: number one position the official list of top selling players
Speaker 1: from March first, twenty nineteen to February twenty nine, twenty twenty. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to know, little tidbit, when he's been number
Speaker 1: one the last couple of years, when did Brady go
Speaker 1: to Tampa? I understand, yeah, that these numbers are very
Speaker 1: skewed because I don't care what skyrocketed now that he's
Speaker 1: wearing the Bucks jersey. Who doesn't have a jersey in
Speaker 1: New England of Brady? And how many people around the
Speaker 1: league are buying Patrick Mahomes. If you if you're just
Speaker 1: getting round to buy buying a Brady jersey, come on,
Speaker 1: you know this guy's gonna make it. This is Brady.
Speaker 1: Let's get one for the sun. This is stupid, it
Speaker 1: is it is, It's stupid, stupid. I want to know
Speaker 1: Brady is going to have the number one jersey this year.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that that would be interesting. And now if
Speaker 1: Mahomes was gonna have the number one jersey, I'd say wow,
Speaker 1: even with Brady, you know, going to Tampa, because you
Speaker 1: know New England fans are buying Tom Brady buccaneer jerseys.
Speaker 1: That's what I find interesting as well. All right, Uh,
Speaker 1: Todd's scoreboard is seven and twenty. Every day we have
Speaker 1: a Todd scoreboard contest where you win some T shirts.
Speaker 1: Ryan in New Haven, Connecticut is today's winner seven and
Speaker 1: twenty and the clue is which which no one got
Speaker 1: as far as the winner, lumber Jacks, like Walmart, this
Speaker 1: is lumber jacks. Would be your clue for this seven
Speaker 1: twenty Mike one involved ahead. Mike Schmidt. Number twenty twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six, which was the play of the day,
Speaker 1: that four consecutive home run game to come back to
Speaker 1: beat the Cubs and ten innings at Wrigley is the
Speaker 1: second number, number twenty. Okay, number seven is at this
Speaker 1: date in history involving lumber jacks, which kind of sounds
Speaker 1: like a baseball person, Mickey Mantle. It was New York
Speaker 1: Yankee Mickey Mantel's first game on this date, nineteen fifty one.
Speaker 1: He went one for four, the Mick, of course, number seven.
Speaker 1: All right, Nick Schmidt, all right, thank you, Todd. Would
Speaker 1: you stay on that jersey story for me with Tom Brad.
Speaker 1: I'm working hard on that. I'm sweating it out you
Speaker 1: you put me on the stand. I felt terrible that
Speaker 1: I was. I gave you some information and then you
Speaker 1: called them me to explain it. And I was still
Speaker 1: prepared to give you any information other than pot you
Speaker 1: a story from Brian. You know what's great though, you
Speaker 1: admit it. You finally admitted that you were ill prepared
Speaker 1: for that where I hate to do. I just wanted
Speaker 1: you to I didn't. I didn't know why you sent
Speaker 1: it to me because I said, there's no news here,
Speaker 1: and I stay didn't know why you're going to put
Speaker 1: me on the spot there that Seton trying to bail
Speaker 1: me out by joining You would say, tell me who
Speaker 1: or the code red answer the question todded a code red. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Seton should have just thrown Mario into the bus. All
Speaker 1: else fails. Throw Mario under the bus. Just got this
Speaker 1: career stats for steals per game Michael Jordan and two
Speaker 1: point three five Lebron one point six zero. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many times Mike was First team All NBA defense,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guess he probably had a good decade
Speaker 1: run there. I'm good and I think he was Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year as well, but it's fun, fun
Speaker 1: to discuss. Robin Ohio joins us, Hey, Rob, what do
Speaker 1: you have for today? Hey Dan, a long time, first
Speaker 1: time I listened to you from back in the Rob
Speaker 1: Bibble days. But I just had a question. I think
Speaker 1: that when we're talking about Jordan and Lebron, nobody ever
Speaker 1: talks about the level of defense I was played. I mean,
Speaker 1: because if you think about the NBA and the eighties
Speaker 1: and the nineties, that was a rough errand I mean,
Speaker 1: so how would today's players could they hold up to that?
Speaker 1: I mean when you're going against Barkley and Charles Oakley
Speaker 1: and Patrick Ewing and there's a lot of elbows and
Speaker 1: whatnot thrown back in those days. Yeah, Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: guys who wouldn't be If guys were from this era
Speaker 1: played back then or had a sampling of that, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, hey, hey, what are you doing? Hey, that's
Speaker 1: me that hurts. Take call foul on him. There was
Speaker 1: so much that went on back then. It wasn't great
Speaker 1: basketball from the standpoint of you were allowed to beat
Speaker 1: up the star players, and you know, they created the
Speaker 1: Jordan rules. The Pistons. We're gonna put Mike on his
Speaker 1: back and back then, you know, we didn't had flagrant
Speaker 1: ones and twos, and you know, you had playoff fouls.
Speaker 1: He had regular season fouls. It was different. And if
Speaker 1: you'd can't hand check. And I'll go back to when
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson put out his book and I said, how
Speaker 1: would Jordan do in today's game? And he said, you know,
Speaker 1: he'd averaged I think he said forty or forty five
Speaker 1: points a game. You couldn't put your hands on Jordan
Speaker 1: All for a first team All Defense nine times in
Speaker 1: his career. Lebron James six times, five on the first
Speaker 1: team and one second team, although he became a lazy
Speaker 1: defender last year. But he does have that ability obviously
Speaker 1: to make big plays. We've seen them. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break. The commissioner of the PGA Tour, Jay Monahan,
Speaker 1: will join us, coming up his thoughts on you know,
Speaker 1: they played that opening round of the Players Championship, and
Speaker 1: that was always that was kind of strange because you thought, boy,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to pull this off because you
Speaker 1: had fans there. You have a lot of fans there
Speaker 1: in Florida for that event. And they played that first
Speaker 1: round and then that was it. I was curious what
Speaker 1: went into that decision. And now you have the PJA Championship,
Speaker 1: you know, that's back on the board. You have the
Speaker 1: US Open. But you're gonna have a you know, the
Speaker 1: golf tournament in Texas, Dallas, Fort Worthy Colonial that's gonna
Speaker 1: be first week in June. Feels aggressive. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: have fans? You're gonna have robotic cameras? Like, what exactly
Speaker 1: can you do? What's different about golf coming up? I
Speaker 1: said to Bubba Watson yesterday, why don't you guys carry
Speaker 1: your own bag? I think that'd be fun because you
Speaker 1: get that big bag. But if you have to carry
Speaker 1: your own bag, you'll get one of those real small
Speaker 1: travel bags. That big bag. Nobody, nobody like the bags
Speaker 1: I have over here, the staff bag that I have.
Speaker 1: You don't go to that the golf course unless you're
Speaker 1: Rodney Dangerfield in uh but uh kady check yeah po wait.
Speaker 1: Callaway was nice enough to give us staff bag. Years
Speaker 1: ago and I went up to Vermont. I was playing
Speaker 1: golf with some friends. I'm you know what I am?
Speaker 1: I am a C minus at best as a golfer,
Speaker 1: and that's probably being kind. I walk in with this
Speaker 1: brand new callaway staff bag. Not good. I think the
Speaker 1: tag was still on it. It's just a total poser.
Speaker 1: Not good. Yeah, been there, not good? I look cool
Speaker 1: and you know you had Dan Patrick Show logo on
Speaker 1: the bag and the clubs saw the stickers on them,
Speaker 1: unwrapping them right there. The plastic wrap was still on
Speaker 1: the face of the club. Night phone calls coming up.

Speaker 1: where it felt like golf was moving closer towards coming back,
Speaker 1: and then I saw where we may have golf, hopefully
Speaker 1: have golf and the beginning of June, as we welcome
Speaker 1: the commissioner, commissioner, how are you, Dan? It's great to
Speaker 1: hear your voice and it's uh, we're hanging in there.
Speaker 1: Where are you right now? I am? I am at
Speaker 1: TPC Sagrass making this phone call from the Players Championship
Speaker 1: Media Center. Take me back to the Players Championship because
Speaker 1: you played that opening round? What went into that? How
Speaker 1: much discussion did you have before the players? You know,
Speaker 1: we had we had started to We've got a crisis
Speaker 1: crisis management team that has that week, that meets weekly,
Speaker 1: that had been meeting on this subject over really the
Speaker 1: two prior weeks, and we started to talk about the
Speaker 1: potential impacts. But candidly, Dan, we were thinking it was
Speaker 1: further down the road, and we came into the week
Speaker 1: we began our practice rounds and on Wednesday, the eve
Speaker 1: you know of our first round, I came out of
Speaker 1: a reception that we were hosting. I looked at my
Speaker 1: phone and the NBA had had postponed their season, and
Speaker 1: so we went into a period really of thirty hours
Speaker 1: where we made the decision one to play Friday without fans,
Speaker 1: and then ultimately decided on Thursday night late that just
Speaker 1: based on the rapid escalation of this coronavirus, that we
Speaker 1: needed to cancel for the safety of our players and
Speaker 1: our fans. What is the game plan now is we
Speaker 1: target the first week in June at Colonial. The game
Speaker 1: plan is to continue to spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on to make certain that we're creating the safest, most
Speaker 1: responsible environment for our players. We've announced that we're going
Speaker 1: to play without spectators. We need to refine our testing system,
Speaker 1: our testing protocols again to ensure that safety. We're looking
Speaker 1: at every single movement and interaction to create the safest
Speaker 1: environments for players, caddies, and media members that will be
Speaker 1: broadcasting the event, and other key constituents, and continue to
Speaker 1: really look dan at what's happening in that marketplace. So
Speaker 1: work with local city, state officials make sure that everything
Speaker 1: that we're doing is validated and supported and that as
Speaker 1: we get closer and closer that we're in position to
Speaker 1: execute the event. But we're you know, we recognize that
Speaker 1: we're also operating in a world of uncertainty, so, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at all the different scenarios that can play out
Speaker 1: and how we're going to respond and handle to them,
Speaker 1: handle them. But for us, we felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: our sport does lend itself very well the social distancing.
Speaker 1: We think this is the right approach to come back.
Speaker 1: And at the same time, you know, we felt it
Speaker 1: was important to be able to show our players and
Speaker 1: our fans what the schedule would be through the end
Speaker 1: of the year, assuming that we can get the right
Speaker 1: systems in place. How much conversation have you had with
Speaker 1: the President of the United States on this? We've had,
Speaker 1: I've had. I actually had conversations during the week of
Speaker 1: the players as we were deciding what we were going
Speaker 1: to do right then and there. And I was fortunate,
Speaker 1: alongside a number of other leaders in our industry, to
Speaker 1: be invited to a conference call a couple of weekends ago,
Speaker 1: and then to this committee that he's formed on the
Speaker 1: re emergence revitalization of our country, a committee of sports
Speaker 1: leaders and it's an honor to be on it, and
Speaker 1: it's it's also wonderful Dan, you cover so many sports,
Speaker 1: have done so brilliantly over your career. There aren't too
Speaker 1: many times when when our industry comes together to tackle
Speaker 1: and to problem you know, to problem solve, and that's
Speaker 1: one of the things that we're doing across leagues, across leadership,
Speaker 1: and to have the support of our government right now
Speaker 1: is incredibly helpful. What would change that time frame June
Speaker 1: in Texas? You know, I think, I think, um, you know,
Speaker 1: you just look at what happens on the ground there.
Speaker 1: So it really depends on where we are, you know,
Speaker 1: with cases, well that event is in Fort Worth in particular,
Speaker 1: and where we are with the virus in that marketplace,
Speaker 1: where we are, you know, across the country, where we
Speaker 1: are are with testing we need we're going to be
Speaker 1: reliant on large scale and rapid response testing and we
Speaker 1: feel like we're going to be able to administer a
Speaker 1: program it's going to that will allow us to ensure
Speaker 1: to the greatest degree possible a safe and responsible environment.
Speaker 1: But we're going to need, you know, we're going to
Speaker 1: need the support of everybody on the ground in that marketplace,
Speaker 1: and we're going to need to know that we're comfortable
Speaker 1: for those that are on property that we feel like
Speaker 1: we've created the safe environment that we intend to The
Speaker 1: first thing I thought of was you have an international field,
Speaker 1: your stars are all over the world. To get them
Speaker 1: to be coming back to the United State, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many of these players are are outside of
Speaker 1: the country and then to fly back in. What kind
Speaker 1: of hurdles are you looking at with getting everybody to
Speaker 1: be in one city at the same time. Well, well,
Speaker 1: to that point, we have ninety three players from twenty
Speaker 1: eight countries, and we have been in close contact all
Speaker 1: of our athletes since we left the Players Championship. Right now,
Speaker 1: we believe we have twenty five players that are outside
Speaker 1: the US in roughly thirty five caddies. So you know,
Speaker 1: we're going to have to make certain that we're doing
Speaker 1: everything we can, you know, everything we can to be
Speaker 1: of help to them as they seek to come back,
Speaker 1: and continue to monitor travel restrictions, border closures, and other
Speaker 1: things that will be a consideration for them as they
Speaker 1: look to return. You know, the beauty is that if
Speaker 1: we're able to play under this schedule, our players can't
Speaker 1: play every single week. So you know, we've announced the
Speaker 1: schedule that takes us through the end of this FedEx
Speaker 1: Cup season, Labor Day weekend, and all the way up
Speaker 1: through through December. So we're hopeful based on what we're hearing,
Speaker 1: that we'll be able to be, you know, to get
Speaker 1: our players back here and give them enough time to prepare,
Speaker 1: particularly those that are seeking to return the week of
Speaker 1: the Charles Schwab Challenge. I did say to Bubba Watson yesterday,
Speaker 1: I said, why don't you guys carry your own bags?
Speaker 1: So we don't even have caddies out there. M what
Speaker 1: do you think what above us say? Well, he's okay,
Speaker 1: but I think he needs help reading PUDs and things
Speaker 1: like that. Sounded like, listen, I think I think the
Speaker 1: role that our caddies play. Caddies are essential as it
Speaker 1: relates to the competitive performance of players, and and we
Speaker 1: feel like we can create the right environment for the
Speaker 1: player caddy relationship when we return. But your point, your
Speaker 1: point is, I think it really hits on the exercise
Speaker 1: that we're going through, literally looking at every single movement
Speaker 1: that a player and a caddy has from the moment
Speaker 1: that they land. You know, in that you know at
Speaker 1: that airport to the moment that they leave, and really
Speaker 1: thinking through what are the steps that we can take
Speaker 1: to create the safest, most responsible environment. You really can't
Speaker 1: leave anything for chance when you have this amount of
Speaker 1: uncertainty in front of us. Commissioner's good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I hope you're well and hopefully we get golf back
Speaker 1: here soon. Dan. Always great to talk to you. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the great work you and the team do. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's a Jay Monahan, PGA Tour commissioner and he included
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, but I think that's because Seaton's wife
Speaker 1: knows the commissioner where they did they go to high
Speaker 1: school or they Yeah? Yeah? Is that right? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's really saying. Hey, Aaron's husband,
Speaker 1: Seaton O'Connor, is what really right? Get the group involved
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm all about it. Yeah I'm not as much,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's good. Get the team here. All it
Speaker 1: takes is one person. That's why this is so tenuous.
Speaker 1: One person test positive, Then all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: go back to square one. If you have baseball, somebody
Speaker 1: test positive, I know you're gonna everybody's gonna have testing
Speaker 1: there by that time and all that stuff. It just
Speaker 1: one person test positive and it's a house of cards here.
Speaker 1: I'd love to have golf back, no spectators. I'd make
Speaker 1: the players carry their own bags. I'd have robotic cameras
Speaker 1: out there. You know another thing, who's gonna grab you know,
Speaker 1: you grab the flag? Who's grabbing the flag? To take
Speaker 1: it out? And then are you do you have to
Speaker 1: wear gloves? It's small little things that you don't even
Speaker 1: think of when you play golf. Yeah, mclovin. You know,
Speaker 1: I felt a little more confident after hearing him. It
Speaker 1: sounded like he had at least a common sense plan.
Speaker 1: Not that it's gonna work, but I kind of bought
Speaker 1: a little bit of it. At least felt hope. Oh
Speaker 1: I want to have hope here. But I also deal
Speaker 1: in reality and that that's where I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure other things in the world are safe before
Speaker 1: I go. Man, I could really use some live sports,
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna watch the the w NBA Draft Is
Speaker 1: that this weekend? Is that tonight? I think it's tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that. I'm gonna watch Bosh. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's season six of Bosh coming back. But
Speaker 1: I think I'm watching the w NBA Draft tonight to
Speaker 1: see my girl Sabrina. I an ask you go to
Speaker 1: the New York team. What are they called the Liberty? Yes? Yeah, yes, McLeod.
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning. All Twitter was excitement for Bosh.
Speaker 1: There are so many fans who have fired up for tonight.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna watch it all at once? Or is
Speaker 1: Bosh is like old school detective in Los Angeles? And
Speaker 1: I think it's tight at well. Over is the star
Speaker 1: and he's really good. There's some really good characters on there.
Speaker 1: His partner Jerry is from The Wire. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know what role he played in The Wire, but
Speaker 1: he's there. It's it's a really good show. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's sneaky good. But if you want to give
Speaker 1: that a chance and check out Bosh. Yeah, po Jamie
Speaker 1: Hector plays Jerry Eger. Yeah. In Bosh he was Marlowe
Speaker 1: in the Wire. Last few seasons of the Wire, he
Speaker 1: was a drug kingpin. Yeah, part of marlow Well, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people you didn't want a part
Speaker 1: of in The Wire, Marlos Crewiston, Yeah, Brandon in Ohio
Speaker 1: is the big winner. He had fifty five percent of
Speaker 1: the vote. He won the Meat and Madness. He gave
Speaker 1: us the biggie song. Did a wonderful job with that,
Speaker 1: and we'll get a trigger girl out to him. We
Speaker 1: had over two million votes in the Meat Mattage. Thank
Speaker 1: you for all those who took part. And the competition
Speaker 1: was stiff because we had eight seeds that were taught
Speaker 1: taken out number one seeds really really wonderful. And I
Speaker 1: think next year Seaton's idea to blame him original songs,
Speaker 1: Maybe we have artists who come up with original songs
Speaker 1: like singer songwriters the way it used to be. Yeah, Seaton,
Speaker 1: And there's no saying that the original song has to
Speaker 1: be good. I mean, some are going to be better
Speaker 1: than others. But we could take the bad ones just
Speaker 1: as well as much as we could take the good ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but just it's original this next time. Yeah, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: better if it's bad. But but that's next year. That's
Speaker 1: that's next year. I got another competition coming up, maybe
Speaker 1: it's next week, if not a week after that, that
Speaker 1: I think will be very interesting for you and have
Speaker 1: that for you hopefully next week, if not the week
Speaker 1: after that, meet Friday. Welcome to the trigger hood by

Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Hi, Kyle Dan, It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Hi Kyle. What's on your mind? Five ten two ten?
Speaker 1: So listen. I've been watching NBA religiously for about thirty years,
Speaker 1: so I don't have quite the resume that you do,
Speaker 1: but I am fascinated by the goat debate. And I
Speaker 1: got a bone to pick with you first, and then
Speaker 1: a quick bone to pick with Isaiah. All right with you, okay,
Speaker 1: start with you? All right? All right? You made the
Speaker 1: comment that you think Lebron can score in a wider
Speaker 1: variety of ways than Jordan, and I gotta tell you, man,
Speaker 1: that's just crazy talk. I'm not saying Lebron doesn't have
Speaker 1: a nice repertoire, but when it comes to shot making
Speaker 1: and the repertoire that Jordan had, I would just ask
Speaker 1: that you go back in sort of refresh your memory
Speaker 1: on YouTube because there's plenty of material there for you
Speaker 1: to do so well. Mike wasn't a deep shooter. Mike
Speaker 1: wasn't a deep shooter. Mike was a mid rangel jumper.
Speaker 1: But there's a misconception that Lebron is a significantly better
Speaker 1: outside shooter when he's about a thirty four career percent
Speaker 1: three point shooter. Jordan's shot thirty two for his career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about volume. I'm talking about that ability
Speaker 1: to do that Lebron. Lebron can do. He can play
Speaker 1: center and point guard, yes, absolutely, he can play it
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. Of scoring moves Dan, which which was
Speaker 1: the implication variety of ways you could put the ball
Speaker 1: in the basket. Let's be honest about it. Lebron's primary
Speaker 1: move his whole career has been putting his head down
Speaker 1: and barreling to the lane. And there's no shame in that.
Speaker 1: It's a great move, it's effective. But in terms of variety,
Speaker 1: you got to go back and take a look at
Speaker 1: Mike on YouTube because it's not even close. I think
Speaker 1: you're so underrating what Lebron James has done. I do
Speaker 1: I look at Jordan is spectacular, but you know his
Speaker 1: ability on offense is better than Michael's because if I
Speaker 1: also factor in passing the ball, he's a better offensive weapon.
Speaker 1: From the ability of making people better, Jordan didn't make
Speaker 1: people better unless he, you know, was rowbeating them. When
Speaker 1: you say that's fair making repertoire, well I think that's fair. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: strictly for shot making repertoire, it's Michael Day. It's not
Speaker 1: even close. Well, I'll disagree because I think that when
Speaker 1: we factor an office and thanks for the phone call, Kyle,
Speaker 1: I could tell where Kyle was leading up to something
Speaker 1: where he was going to say something nice, and then
Speaker 1: he was going to say something that wasn't. I've been
Speaker 1: in this business long enough to know that here here,
Speaker 1: come here, there it is. I'm a big fan and
Speaker 1: being blah blah blah blah, but I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: bone to pick with you. I just think Lebron is
Speaker 1: underrated with people because there is a negativity attached to
Speaker 1: him for some reason. No negativity to Michael Jordan. When's
Speaker 1: the last time somebody you know had something negative to
Speaker 1: say about Mike. I'll wait, Lebron every single game, every
Speaker 1: single game, nobody criticized Mike yes hed to be fair, though,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan never missed a shot. That's true, So you're right,
Speaker 1: it was tough to criticize him in those moments. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're right. Yeah, never missed a shot in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I heard he did in the regular season. Just to
Speaker 1: be fair, if I just said offensive weapon, yeah, Lebron's
Speaker 1: gonna be probably the all time leading score. So you
Speaker 1: can't say, boy, the guy can't score and he's got
Speaker 1: one move. So a guy with one move might be
Speaker 1: the all time leading score in the history of the game.
Speaker 1: M imagine if you have like a second move, how
Speaker 1: many he would have? Word how great is Lebron on
Speaker 1: the break? Yes, mclov in, Kareem only have one move.
Speaker 1: Not to be mean, yes, I think Kareem's underrated. Two
Speaker 1: we forget he's the most unstoppable guy in the history
Speaker 1: of basketball. He is. And I know that Mike didn't
Speaker 1: shoot as many threes. He's got half as many a
Speaker 1: third as many three pointers as Lebron does. But you
Speaker 1: know back then you weren't shooting threes. Now, did Michael
Speaker 1: have a better looking shot, Yes he did. But I
Speaker 1: think we underrate Lebron. We do because everything Mike did
Speaker 1: was the best that anybody's ever done, apparently. And Lebron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's not Mike. Yeah, but he's not Magic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's not Kobe. He's not He's not He's not
Speaker 1: he's not Jacob break. It's time for us to have
Speaker 1: some French dip on the trigger grill. Send you into
Speaker 1: the weekend after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan

Speaker 1: trigger grill earlier today, it's great. Paulie, how's your French dip?
Speaker 1: I'm actually holding onto it until I could really get
Speaker 1: into it. Elbows on the table, a little privacy because
Speaker 1: it's going to be a mess. What are you guys
Speaker 1: having at your house? Is todd? What are you having

Speaker 1: excited as what you guys got going on? What about
Speaker 1: you mclovin chicken soup out of a camp? Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: what about you Seaton? I'm hearing whered of some type
Speaker 1: of tuna fish situation. Oh this, this French dip is
Speaker 1: really good. It's really good. It's really good. Did I
Speaker 1: did I mention? It was really good? Really good good.
Speaker 1: It's a good way to go into the weekend. A
Speaker 1: little French dip. There this day in sports history, What
Speaker 1: do you have for me? Nineteen forty five, a man
Speaker 1: named Pete Gray made his major league debut of baseball
Speaker 1: with the Saint Louis Brown's one arm He's thirty, Yes, Dan,
Speaker 1: he had one arm, Peak Ray so at each thirty
Speaker 1: made his major league debut as a six year old
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. He lost his arm in a wagon accident,
Speaker 1: and he was right handed. Lost his right arm, learned
Speaker 1: how to play left handed, try to join the Army
Speaker 1: at one point in his life they wouldn't let him in.
Speaker 1: He played minor league baseball, bounced around, and finally finished
Speaker 1: his career by playing half a season with the Saint
Speaker 1: Louis Browns and hit two eighteen with one arm, and
Speaker 1: what Jordan hit? Come on, Oh, I know my bed. No,
Speaker 1: it's my bed, all right, it's my bad, it's my bad.
Speaker 1: Full circle. Yeah, it's all right. I'm standing up for
Speaker 1: all the others since this is gonna be Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: month here with the documentary. All right, is that it?
Speaker 1: That's it, That's it for this dame in sports history.
Speaker 1: He gray one arm? All right. We also had Mike
Speaker 1: Schmid hit four home runs on this day, Mickey Mantle?
Speaker 1: What did he do on this day? Todd? Mickey Mettal's
Speaker 1: first game, and I was I was corrected by social
Speaker 1: media that he initially wore number six and then we
Speaker 1: know him as number seven. So technically, you know, I
Speaker 1: guess for that, at least that first game, for a
Speaker 1: little while, he was number six. So isn't that In
Speaker 1: the Billy Crystal sixty one movie, I think you talk
Speaker 1: about seven and twenty, but for that particular date, it's
Speaker 1: really six and twenty. But I also think, you know,
Speaker 1: Pete Merivitch came into the NBA, and I think he
Speaker 1: was forty four in college, he was nineteen. That was
Speaker 1: his number. I think when he first got there. Then
Speaker 1: I think he might have gone forty four and then seven,
Speaker 1: but he changed his number around a little bit there.
Speaker 1: Final results of the poll question, McLevin, Okay, I'll give
Speaker 1: you it's the last place. Favorite Dannette City Food minus
Speaker 1: four percent, said poor Kroll in New Jersey Park Roll
Speaker 1: paw hawk cuck off, paw off hawk punk off. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, the new cartoon the d animations we've
Speaker 1: been doing have to do with Fritzie's pork off sausage
Speaker 1: sausage off, hawk hawk off. Yeah, hawk sausage off. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say that's actually become my favorite out of it,
Speaker 1: because you know what's right around the corner. What did
Speaker 1: you learn on today's program? Todd Craig Kilbourne had deep
Speaker 1: range on the basketball court. He played at Montowna State.
Speaker 1: But yep, yep, he was good. He was a good player. McLevin,
Speaker 1: what did you learn? Apparently Isaiah is not gonna like
Speaker 1: this documentary. Yeah, doesn't doesn't look like that Seaton o'counter.
Speaker 1: In case you are interested in educating yourself on the
Speaker 1: greatness of Michael Jordans, go to YouTube. Catch up on
Speaker 1: some highlights, and I could catch up on all of
Speaker 1: his his place, all of his offensive moves, Holly, would
Speaker 1: you learn? As much as I want to watch the
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan documentary, I'd rather watch Isaiah Thomas watching the
Speaker 1: Michael What had I learned? Todd? You learned and still
Speaker 1: remembers to It's got extremely completely. He'd have his forearm
Speaker 1: round and put the full court press on you. Get
Speaker 1: some more information on that. Tom Brady Jersey sales. Okay.
