Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. It's
Speaker 1: our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan Nstan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Glad to have you on board. Check in
Speaker 1: with the Toronto Raptors Nick Nurse. They're a great head coach.
Speaker 1: He's part of my great trivia question. I have have
Speaker 1: that for him coming up in about twenty minutes from now.
Speaker 1: Phone call is always welcome here on the program. Eight
Speaker 1: seven seven three DP show email address DPA, Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot Com, Twitter hand too DP Show. I'm being asked
Speaker 1: by Marcus in Syracuse. Dear mister Patrick is the commissioner
Speaker 1: of the AUAA. You have been mainly silent on the
Speaker 1: return of the league. Do you have a statement to
Speaker 1: make on the current status of the league in a
Speaker 1: potential return the American Unathletic Association of America. I am
Speaker 1: ready to go where anybody will have us. Will go
Speaker 1: anywhere nobody wants. It's going to have a process here
Speaker 1: or I don't think so where. If they want us
Speaker 1: to go to Disney World and we'll play our league
Speaker 1: down there, I'll go there. They want us to go
Speaker 1: to Arizona, I'll go there. It doesn't matter wherever we're wanted.
Speaker 1: We will go and play the American Unathletic Association of America. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: what if our current state asks us to go? If
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? What if they don't even
Speaker 1: they want us to leave? Yes, they would like you'd
Speaker 1: like an excuse you from the state. Yea, we don't
Speaker 1: want you. We want you to leave. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get phone calls here, McLevin. As a poll question, we're
Speaker 1: gonna stay with that pole question. Yeah, do you have
Speaker 1: a problem with networks pumping in fan crowd noise? Fifty fifty,
Speaker 1: So people are totally split. I'm surprised. I thought people
Speaker 1: would social media seem to be against it last night.
Speaker 1: Well that's what you told me this morning, and I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: I understand it. I would like to hear all of
Speaker 1: the sounds of a game that you wouldn't normally hear. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we grow tired of that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we have to be Does somebody have
Speaker 1: to tell us when to cheer or help us cheer.
Speaker 1: If I'm watching a game at home and I'm watching
Speaker 1: with my guys, you know, my family, you're gonna celebrate.
Speaker 1: I don't need the crowd noise to tell me to
Speaker 1: celebrate or help me celebrate there. I'd like to hear
Speaker 1: the ambiance sound there. I think that would be interesting
Speaker 1: to hear that basketball, Definitely, I want to hear that.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you might have to have a seven
Speaker 1: second delay with some frisky language there. Yes, poland see
Speaker 1: I know has watched a few soccer games. I watched
Speaker 1: a few soccer matches where there's no crowd for different reasons.
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's different political reasons, reasons where crowds get barred
Speaker 1: from the premises. It's weird because there's a mental cues
Speaker 1: in your head that aren't being served. Like when a
Speaker 1: guy runs a nigg of the goal. The guy still celebrates,
Speaker 1: he runs and his teammates are going crazy on top
Speaker 1: of him, but there's not the background of the noise
Speaker 1: to go with it, and it doesn't make sense in
Speaker 1: your head. It's like it's very disconcerting. You get used
Speaker 1: to it, but not really. I'm at this point I
Speaker 1: don't care what it is that I have to put
Speaker 1: up with as long as I get to see a
Speaker 1: product on the field. If you don't have sound, if
Speaker 1: you do have sound, if you have cardboard cutout fans there,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, this is not the way it's going to be.
Speaker 1: This is the way it probably will be for at
Speaker 1: least this year. After that, we should return to normal,
Speaker 1: whatever normal is after that. All right, you can watch
Speaker 1: on YouTube dot com slash the Dan Patrick Show all
Speaker 1: three hours, and you can listen on our three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty two radio afhiliates around the country. States are
Speaker 1: looking to open up. How can they help some of
Speaker 1: these sports leagues. I mentioned that Florida is open for
Speaker 1: business for getting leagues down there, NCAA loosening up rules
Speaker 1: on underclassmen with the NBA Draft. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that are on the table right now, probably
Speaker 1: not one definitive headline today, it feels like there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things that are percolating, and I don't know
Speaker 1: where we go. It feels like it's every day, almost
Speaker 1: every hour, where we're going. Wait, now, what is California doing?
Speaker 1: Because yesterday it was like we're going to extend the
Speaker 1: stay at home for three more months, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you had somebody walk it back and
Speaker 1: the Maribela go no I'm not quite sure we're going
Speaker 1: to do three months. This is going to affect sports,
Speaker 1: and this is what we do. We cover sports the
Speaker 1: aspect of the element of sports and how it's affected
Speaker 1: by This is what we've been talking about with the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. We've been talking about the NFL teams in
Speaker 1: California as well. These are all real things. How they
Speaker 1: play out, we don't know, but these are all real
Speaker 1: things that are being discussed. Do the NFL teams in
Speaker 1: California have to play elsewhere to start out the season?
Speaker 1: Do you share a stadium? And these are the contingency plans.
Speaker 1: What happens with the Pac twelve teams, what happens to
Speaker 1: the teams in California, what happens to UCLA, what happens
Speaker 1: to USC what happens to Stanford. Are we waiting for
Speaker 1: college football season to start? Other parts of the country
Speaker 1: open for business? I certainly understand that. And one other
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say, and I hope you if
Speaker 1: you're listening and you've listened for a while, then you
Speaker 1: trust me when I'm telling you something. I don't play
Speaker 1: political games, I don't troll, I don't want to weaponize
Speaker 1: anything here I don't mention anything about presidents. I don't.
Speaker 1: I try not to do any that I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. You have enough of that if you
Speaker 1: want it. The reason why this is so close to
Speaker 1: home for me in a variety of ways is I
Speaker 1: have a compromised immune system. Okay, so it is a
Speaker 1: little more important. It is personal for me when I
Speaker 1: tell you this. I have to take precautions every single
Speaker 1: day I go to work, I go home. I don't
Speaker 1: go any place else. Home, work, that's it. But I
Speaker 1: have to do that. My children. My son came back
Speaker 1: from Singapore, I said, you have to quarantine for fourteen days.
Speaker 1: He went to Vermont and he quarantined for fourteen days.
Speaker 1: My daughter is in California, has been out there for
Speaker 1: six weeks because I didn't want her to come back
Speaker 1: to New York. If she comes back to New York,
Speaker 1: she has to quarantine. They know the risk. I know
Speaker 1: the risk. That's why when I tell you this, it's
Speaker 1: personal for me. I haven't lost anybody close to me.
Speaker 1: I haven't felt any symptoms here. And I said to
Speaker 1: the Danets, if you feel like you're sick or you
Speaker 1: don't want to come in, you stay at home, and
Speaker 1: Fritzie's at home, Mclevin's at home, and Seaton's at home.
Speaker 1: Paulie keeps a twenty foot distance from me in here.
Speaker 1: We've cut the staff in half of those who show up.
Speaker 1: So this isn't about politics. And I know people want
Speaker 1: to grab it and make it political. It's not. This
Speaker 1: is personal, okay, not political. I hope you know me
Speaker 1: well enough and you trust me that I would not
Speaker 1: do that. That's not what this show does. So when
Speaker 1: I brought it up yesterday and I even was done
Speaker 1: with the show, and my wife was surprised, you said,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you brought it up. And I said,
Speaker 1: because it's personal. Every single day you wake up and
Speaker 1: you worry about other people around you, who's wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: who's not where you go? Like, these are all things
Speaker 1: that are real to me, maybe not to you. I
Speaker 1: have a friend in Arizona and he says I can't relate.
Speaker 1: I said to him, I said, Andy, you understand my
Speaker 1: immune system and you understand where I'm living, and if
Speaker 1: you can't relate to that, then that's on you, not
Speaker 1: on me. But I'm not here to sensationalize. I don't
Speaker 1: want your sympathy. This is what I have. I went
Speaker 1: through something bad, but I'm healthy ish, but I was
Speaker 1: told you can't get this virus. So when your doctor says,
Speaker 1: at one of the best hospitals in the world, says
Speaker 1: you can't get this, not if you get this, you
Speaker 1: can't get this. That's why it's personal, not political. So
Speaker 1: thank you for allowing me to say that. All right,
Speaker 1: And I don't even know how to follow that up,
Speaker 1: but I did want to mention that because this relationship
Speaker 1: is important to me what we have every single day,
Speaker 1: and I do it because I enjoy it, because and
Speaker 1: there are times when you ruffle my feathers and I
Speaker 1: do the same to you. But we've been in this
Speaker 1: together and you listen, and I would never ever be
Speaker 1: disingenuous with you. I would not. I would rather quit
Speaker 1: this job than be disingenuous. I never troll you, and
Speaker 1: if I do, we're in it together and we have
Speaker 1: fun with this. But I just I want you to
Speaker 1: understand that the approach of this show is reflective of
Speaker 1: me and my personality and who we are, and the
Speaker 1: people I have here who get a chance to speak
Speaker 1: on the air understand that of who we are and
Speaker 1: how we do this. That's always been our motto, and
Speaker 1: we'll be my motto until I stop doing this. So
Speaker 1: we're in it together. I want sports back. If you
Speaker 1: said we're going to have it, we're overreacting. I told
Speaker 1: you yesterday. I am guilty of overreacting because I have to.
Speaker 1: It could be tragic if I don't. Okay, So that's
Speaker 1: why when I say something, I'm saying it from my heart,
Speaker 1: not from some playbook. You know, somebody's telling me something
Speaker 1: or you need to get this agenda. I don't have
Speaker 1: an agenda. It's just us. It's just this group that
Speaker 1: you see right here. That's us. That's it. That's what
Speaker 1: we do and how we do it, and hopefully we
Speaker 1: do it in a way that is different. It's professional,
Speaker 1: and that's always been our approach. Yes, Seaton O'Connor, I
Speaker 1: hate to do this right now, but earlier this morning,
Speaker 1: Andrew told me that he thinks Lebron at two is
Speaker 1: too high on that NBA list. Thank you, Setan, sorry
Speaker 1: and thank you for that segue. Really, Lebron at number
Speaker 1: two is too high? No, I just try to Like
Speaker 1: I was thinking, what can I get to aditate the
Speaker 1: Lebron went to title this year is eron Asterix. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I did look at the clock and I go, okay,
Speaker 1: I normally break around seventeen. After I got six more minutes.
Speaker 1: I don't have anything else to say other than what
Speaker 1: I just said. And then you want to make that segue,
Speaker 1: So thank you, McLevin. Do you do you want to
Speaker 1: talk about the dan AT's at home bodily functions with that? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that either. I've got money,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: to phone calls here and hopefully we're open for business.
Speaker 1: Really it would make my job a lot easier, and
Speaker 1: hopefully it gets the economy back. And you know, I
Speaker 1: heard from somebody last down or Robin Florida, who called
Speaker 1: in right at the tail end, and he said, you
Speaker 1: know this is difficult. You know you're you're out of
Speaker 1: work or you can't have a normal life, and you know,
Speaker 1: we're lucky we get to go to work. The hardships
Speaker 1: are going to be felt for a long, long long time.
Speaker 1: And I hate hearing those stories, seeing those stories going
Speaker 1: by restaurants that you normally go to and they're boarded up.
Speaker 1: I went into New York City. I had to pick
Speaker 1: up my son when he flew in from Singapore with
Speaker 1: his fiance. We packed up two cars, so we were
Speaker 1: in our car and my wife John drove down in
Speaker 1: the other one. We parked at Newark Airport and there
Speaker 1: was nobody in the parking lot, and he came out.
Speaker 1: He had been gone for six weeks. We had not
Speaker 1: seen him for six weeks. I waved to him. He
Speaker 1: had his mask on. I had my mask on. He
Speaker 1: got into the other car, and then we drove back
Speaker 1: up to Connecticut. We drove through New York. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to see what New York looked like. This is
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Three weeks ago, I could
Speaker 1: have shot a cannon up Sixth Avenue and not hit anybody.
Speaker 1: So just when you see it, when you see it
Speaker 1: up close, I mean, it's as realists can get. And yes,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get away from it. That's why we
Speaker 1: tried to provide a diversion, and I've tried my best
Speaker 1: to be that diversion. Every single day we come in
Speaker 1: and go, what do we do, how do we make
Speaker 1: this fun? Who do we have on That's why when
Speaker 1: we reach out to Will Ferrell, Brian Cranston, Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1: I just want to make you laugh, have some fun.
Speaker 1: If you can check in with us for an hour,
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, whatever's and we can help you in any way.
Speaker 1: That's our job, that's our public service, that's what we're
Speaker 1: here for. And to be able to do that is rewarding.
Speaker 1: When people say thank you, hey for whatever small thing
Speaker 1: we do that, you're welcome and we hope to be
Speaker 1: able to continue to do it because you allow us
Speaker 1: into your life. There's no better compliment than you allow
Speaker 1: us into your life, into your car, into your home.
Speaker 1: You're watching now on YouTube. I mean, you can't give
Speaker 1: me a better compliment than that. And it's never it's
Speaker 1: always on my every single day. We do this, all right,
Speaker 1: A couple more phone calls and we'll check in with
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse, head coach of the Toronto Raptors. He better
Speaker 1: be damn funny, That's all I gotta say. After Fritzie,
Speaker 1: tell Nick Nurse to be funny when he comes on here.
Speaker 1: Hopefully not your material. Oh whoa, whoa, where'd you come
Speaker 1: up with that? Kevin and Alabama joins us. Hi, Kevin,
Speaker 1: how are you today? Hey, you're doing pretty good, mister Patrick.
Speaker 1: How about you? Oh, spectacular, spectacular? What's on your mind?
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, all right, there's no pro football teams
Speaker 1: in Alabama. If you can get one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: thousand in Tuscaloosa, I'm sure you can get fifty thousand
Speaker 1: Charger fans in Tuscaluso and spread of my Hey, as
Speaker 1: long as everybody is safe, Kevin, and we do this,
Speaker 1: I hope that wherever anybody could host a football game,
Speaker 1: they're able to do that. But thank you for their
Speaker 1: phone call, and yeah, I'm all four. Let's let's push
Speaker 1: the boundaries on this a little bit to understand what
Speaker 1: we can and can't do right now, that's all. If
Speaker 1: we can. I told the audience as stat last hour
Speaker 1: that I heard from somebody affiliated with the NFL. If
Speaker 1: NFL teams the leaves come back they were looking at.
Speaker 1: This was the estimate. And I was given sixty thousand
Speaker 1: test per week. And I was told by this my
Speaker 1: source who said, how could we possibly use up those
Speaker 1: sixty thousand tests with the right mind with other people
Speaker 1: not getting test? So there's so many things that we
Speaker 1: want to happen. But there's hurdles of making that happen
Speaker 1: and getting over those hurdles, and there's smarter people than
Speaker 1: me who are going to help us figure that out. Yeah, Poet,
Speaker 1: I think what I'm most fascinated is with the NBA
Speaker 1: because their window is so short right now, and they've
Speaker 1: been very quiet. Adam Silver has been kind of on lockdown.
Speaker 1: Remember he did him about three weeks ago. I was
Speaker 1: out with Rachel Nichols. I haven't heard a word from
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, but even Rob men for the Baseball's Commission,
Speaker 1: they're doing the smart thing. I don't want to hear anything.
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to show me something,
Speaker 1: because it feels like when they tell you something then
Speaker 1: you go, well, wait a minute. You said we were
Speaker 1: coming back March or May fifteenth. Now we're talking July fourth,
Speaker 1: July fourth with Baseball and Rob Manfred hasn't said that.
Speaker 1: My source said May fourth, July fourth, now, not Rob Manfred.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that the commissioners are kind of hunkered
Speaker 1: down here to try to come up with solutions yeap
Speaker 1: until the day they make their announcement. Like Adam Silver
Speaker 1: right now is probably going through many different scenarios with
Speaker 1: his people going through with doctors and lawyers and liability.
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a day out here in the
Speaker 1: next two or three weeks where the NBA announces we
Speaker 1: are doing this and they're going to have to have
Speaker 1: everything buttoned up. I'm fascinating to know the backstory to
Speaker 1: get to that day. I can't imagine what it must
Speaker 1: be like for these commissioners where you go from one
Speaker 1: zoom meeting to another zoom meeting to another zoom meeting
Speaker 1: of I'm going to talk to this politician, I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk to this member of the players associate, Like
Speaker 1: you're just going on and on and on trying to
Speaker 1: come up with solutions, contingency plans. Greg and Illinois joins us. Hi, Greg,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? They DP? Tomorrow's meet
Speaker 1: Friday Baby, who cheer up? Who Hey? Quick question for you.
Speaker 1: I think these some of these types of articals and
Speaker 1: sports coming back has us fans thinking a little bit
Speaker 1: selfishly again. But a lot of this, in part comes
Speaker 1: back to the guys who are actually playing the games.
Speaker 1: So is there a certain number of players who who
Speaker 1: have to say they won't come back, or a certain
Speaker 1: caliber player who says, it says no, that might change
Speaker 1: whether or not a sport comes back, Like what if?
Speaker 1: What if Mike Trout says, I don't want to move
Speaker 1: my pregnant wife to Florida to not make the playoffs again. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you need to add the don't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs again, But I understand what you're saying there, Greg.
Speaker 1: I don't know if every player is gonna want to
Speaker 1: come back. You know, every marquee player, they want to
Speaker 1: get paid. And that's another thing. You have this squabble
Speaker 1: going on with the players association and owners. Here are
Speaker 1: you going to pay us? How much you're gonna pay us?
Speaker 1: Do you get a year of service here? Like, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things in play, not just let's open
Speaker 1: up the gates and come back and play. I wish
Speaker 1: it was that simple. It's not going to be that
Speaker 1: simple anytime soon. But I hope when we hear from
Speaker 1: these commissioners, that's when they say, here is our plan.
Speaker 1: As much as the commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell,
Speaker 1: is full speed ahead with this NFL season, I know privately,
Speaker 1: I've been told after telling the owners no hypotheticals, nobody
Speaker 1: talks hypotheticals because he didn't want that. He wanted to
Speaker 1: have the schedule release with no hypotheticals. What if. Well,
Speaker 1: those are in place right now, and I had it
Speaker 1: reiterated to me yesterday that my source says he truly
Speaker 1: believes the NFL season starts in October, truly believes that
Speaker 1: that there will be a four week sort of grace
Speaker 1: period and they just remove that front part of the
Speaker 1: schedule and put it at the tail end. But that's
Speaker 1: just a source that told me, and I trust the
Speaker 1: source who said thinks that we do open up with
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and the Bears October eighth, on a Thursday nine,
Speaker 1: So hopefully things change in the inner Hopefully take a
Speaker 1: break and we'll get some more phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Raptors head coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 1: What has he been told? How often does he stay
Speaker 1: in touch with his players? We'll take a break in
Speaker 1: does he think that the NBA champ will have an
Speaker 1: asterisk by its name at the end of the season
Speaker 1: if we play twenty after the hour back after this
Speaker 1: on The Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The

Speaker 1: searching f s R. Got the trigger girl fired up,
Speaker 1: got Burgers. There you got meat Friday tomorrow. But I
Speaker 1: said to Paulie, we should probably do like a preliminary
Speaker 1: meat Friday. Gotta get our weight up for the season.
Speaker 1: We don't. I always like to say that he's Nick Nurse,
Speaker 1: the head coach of my Toronto Raptors. No matter where
Speaker 1: he goes, he wins. He's won in the D League,
Speaker 1: British Basketball League, the Belgian Basketball League, all of the
Speaker 1: great leagues around the world. And he joins us down.
Speaker 1: Good morning, coach, how are you? I'm good, Good morning Dan.
Speaker 1: What's happening today? If we don't have an NBA season,
Speaker 1: do then the Raptors carry the title for another year?
Speaker 1: Are you two time NBA champs or one time? Really long?
Speaker 1: I had a trivia question. It's not a trivia question.
Speaker 1: I think it's just an interesting fact. Schools to produce
Speaker 1: an NBA Finals winning head coach and a super Bowl
Speaker 1: winning quarterback back. You're on that list? Nick? Wow. Kurt Warner, Yes, great,
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, Northern Iowa. You're on that list with Steve
Speaker 1: Kerr Arizona. Nick Foles won a super Bowl. Awesome And
Speaker 1: here's one for you. Michigan is on the list, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and Rudy tom Janovic. Wow. So there you go.
Speaker 1: You learn something. That's it. That's all I needed to
Speaker 1: talk to you about. Coach. That is five really cool
Speaker 1: names to be associated with. That's awesome. That's awesome. How
Speaker 1: often do you stay in touch with your players? Um?
Speaker 1: Not that often, to be honest. We've had a few
Speaker 1: zoom calls. We've certainly got somebody from our training staff
Speaker 1: in touch with them almost every day, every other day,
Speaker 1: assistant coaches every every three or four days, just to
Speaker 1: just to check in. What did you make of Shaquille
Speaker 1: O'Neil saying they should scrap the season altogether? Um, well
Speaker 1: that's a school of thought, I guess. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: been two months now. I think the time is on
Speaker 1: our side. The longer we go and get things out,
Speaker 1: push things out, the safer things are going to be.
Speaker 1: But I also think that we've put in a lot
Speaker 1: of work this year. We've we've we've only got you
Speaker 1: know what, We've played sixty two games or something like that.
Speaker 1: We've almost got it, got it done. So crowning a champion,
Speaker 1: if it's possible and if it's safe, I think we
Speaker 1: should still strive for that for sure. Have you heard
Speaker 1: a plan that you think would work? Well, um, I'm
Speaker 1: only hearing you know the same plans you guys are hearing. Um,
Speaker 1: And I think that getting it done and getting the competition,
Speaker 1: and I think for everybody's general psyche, I mean fans,
Speaker 1: no fans, just getting something on TV and some competition
Speaker 1: that the that the world, not not only this country
Speaker 1: but globally can can tune in and watch, I think
Speaker 1: would be would be great for everybody. What would we
Speaker 1: hear if there were no fans and we're watching an
Speaker 1: NBA game? Yeah, I think you're gonna hear a lot. Well.
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of us would have
Speaker 1: to adjust our our normal in game routine, whatever whatever
Speaker 1: that is. But well, wait here a lot. How colorful
Speaker 1: is your language during a game? Much more colorful than
Speaker 1: my mother would hope it will be. Let's put it
Speaker 1: that I hate to admit that, but I've I've I'd
Speaker 1: like to cut back on it someday, and maybe someday
Speaker 1: I will. Does it ever help when a coach yells
Speaker 1: at a player? Oh for sure? But can't you get
Speaker 1: that the message I get to my kids, the lower
Speaker 1: my voice, the more impact I have. And whenever a
Speaker 1: coach used to yell at me, I just tune him
Speaker 1: out after a while. Yeah, for sure. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can do it very constantly. I think you know,
Speaker 1: ever you know you say ever, yeah, it does. Sometimes.
Speaker 1: I don't make a habit of yelling at the players
Speaker 1: at all, and rarely I think. I think you're probably
Speaker 1: looking at a half dozen times for a season, maybe,
Speaker 1: and maybe less than that for brief moments in a
Speaker 1: film room or something. Is a player allowed to yell back?
Speaker 1: For sure? For sure? Man, we're grown men here, we're
Speaker 1: having a discussion. Did you ever yell at everybody's participating? Sometimes?
Speaker 1: Did you ever yell at kawaite? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I did have some Yeah, maybe, I mean yeah, maybe maybe, well,
Speaker 1: maybe one or two times in a film session when
Speaker 1: we when we went down all one to Orlando in
Speaker 1: the opening round. I don't think anybody was spared that
Speaker 1: the next couple of days there including and it was
Speaker 1: pretty it was pretty, uh change of feeling and momentum
Speaker 1: and thinking and attitude that we needed quickly. It's hard
Speaker 1: to envision you mad like you seemed chill. Well, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of us are chilled and very nice.
Speaker 1: And when the competition starts. When the competition starts, you
Speaker 1: know you're competing and it's it's tough out there. I
Speaker 1: think it's one of the things we see in the
Speaker 1: uh the Last Dance stuff. Man, when when it's the
Speaker 1: heat of the battle, we're seeing some guys that are
Speaker 1: anything to win and physical and knocking people around and
Speaker 1: who and whatever it takes, you know. But I know
Speaker 1: you're a Chicagoan. How big a Jordan fan were you?
Speaker 1: I was? I was really you know, I was big.
Speaker 1: I was a big fan. I was caught up in
Speaker 1: the era of greatness, and you know I was. I
Speaker 1: was probably more of a Phil fan. I was already
Speaker 1: a young coach, and I was really more fascinated probably
Speaker 1: with Phil Jackson then than than Michael. But I mean obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I used to get in my car
Speaker 1: and drive five hours from de Moine to Chicago by
Speaker 1: a standing room only ticket and watch the game and
Speaker 1: dry five hours back in the same day to go
Speaker 1: to coach my coach my team at Grand View University
Speaker 1: the next morning. You know, but you're trying. I know
Speaker 1: that we it was acceptable back then, admired back then.
Speaker 1: Imagine if Lebron played that way and his personality was
Speaker 1: that way, would we would we allow Lebron to be
Speaker 1: the same way Michael was in the nineties. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that's again a fascinating thing to watch.
Speaker 1: I think that it certainly is different with the social
Speaker 1: media constant glare of that in this day and age,
Speaker 1: I think it I think it would certainly take a
Speaker 1: different you know thing. But listen, Lebron's competing like he's
Speaker 1: competing like crazy too. Now I've seen enough of him
Speaker 1: up close to know that he's he's out there to
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to win too. But when you
Speaker 1: watch Lebron, would you ever allow Lebron in your mind
Speaker 1: to be better than Michael Jordan? What can he do
Speaker 1: that you would go, all right, he's gonna be top
Speaker 1: ten scoring and insist when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: you can't ask for much more than that from an
Speaker 1: offensive player. Yeah, he's incredible, Dan, I think I think
Speaker 1: that the only thing I can I can say is
Speaker 1: this is, you know, tried to tried to come up
Speaker 1: with game plans to stop him over and over and
Speaker 1: haven't haven't really been very successful. He's seen it all.
Speaker 1: He knows how to adjust to everything. He really really
Speaker 1: is a pass you know minded player. He really gets
Speaker 1: other people the ball, and he throws that thing one
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour right to the shooting pocket. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: he makes the reads. He doesn't get rattled very often.
Speaker 1: You know, he's got a lot of things that make
Speaker 1: him really really tough to us. But who has a
Speaker 1: bigger impact on the game ten or fifteen years from now,
Speaker 1: Lebron or Steph Curry? Um, well, I think they both
Speaker 1: have a huge impact. I think what Steph has done
Speaker 1: as far as shooting from thirty feet or thirty five
Speaker 1: feet or whatever, has changed all over the world. I
Speaker 1: think little kids all over the world are bombing from
Speaker 1: you know, the three point line, but they say, forget
Speaker 1: about the three point line. Let's let's back up another
Speaker 1: ten feet and shoot two because because this guy does
Speaker 1: it and they emulate him, and and the freedom that
Speaker 1: that cur you know, Steve Kerr's given him and he's
Speaker 1: created and the skill and all that stuff has has
Speaker 1: certainly changed the game a lot, I think. But we
Speaker 1: can't be like Mike Nick, we can't be like Lebron.
Speaker 1: But all of us think we can be like Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: That's why I think his impact will be It'll be
Speaker 1: even larger than Michael's. From the standpoint of every kid
Speaker 1: thinks he can play in the NBA. We knew we
Speaker 1: couldn't do what Mike did. We can't be six nine
Speaker 1: two seventy like Lebron Steph Curry. We can be six
Speaker 1: three one ninety. It's a great point I agree with.
Speaker 1: You work on your handles like crazy, figure out how
Speaker 1: to shoot lower release point so you can shoot it
Speaker 1: from forty feet and well, he practices a little bit too.
Speaker 1: You know, if I said we were going to have
Speaker 1: a game of horse NBA coaches, yes, give me two
Speaker 1: other guys. You'd want to go against two. I don't
Speaker 1: want to go again. No, No, give me the two.
Speaker 1: Give me the best game. If we played horse with
Speaker 1: NBA coaches, oh boy, that's well, let me just off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, I obviously think, who are
Speaker 1: the really really good players? Steve Kerr, Steve Kerr, Doc
Speaker 1: Rivers was an incredible player. Can pop Avich shoot? I
Speaker 1: assume at some point in his life he probably he was?
Speaker 1: He was, he was. He was a good player too. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I have to think about you,
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers and Steve Kerr. Huh you Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr,
Speaker 1: why are you putting me in there? I'm like, I'm not,
Speaker 1: I'm not. Those guys had great, great, great NBA careers,
Speaker 1: multiple multiple playoff wins, championship wins. Yeah, but you can shoot, right?
Speaker 1: You were one of the great shooters in Northern Iowa history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a long time ago. I could. I could
Speaker 1: shoot a little bit for a mid level college. Are
Speaker 1: you better that? Are you better shooter than anybody on
Speaker 1: the raptors? Of course? Who? You better then most of them? Okay,
Speaker 1: that that didn't take long. It didn't take long to
Speaker 1: bring that out. And you know, shooter shooters are gonna
Speaker 1: think they can shoot anybody in the shooting competition. I
Speaker 1: love that you would take Steve Kuran, I would, but
Speaker 1: he beat me. He would he probably would, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't. How about Rick Carlyle. Rick Carlyle is another one.
Speaker 1: Could see some footage of Rick there in the in
Speaker 1: the last dance. That was pretty cool. Yeah, well he
Speaker 1: was trying to play defense. I wouldn't want to maybe
Speaker 1: that would Hey, but if you made the last dance,
Speaker 1: that means you played and you were guarding Mike. I
Speaker 1: would take that. Get embarrassed, say you guarded him? Right? Uh?
Speaker 1: The Nick Nurse Foundation and the limited edition T shirt?
Speaker 1: All right, do you have the T shirt on? I
Speaker 1: have a Boxing one T shirt on right now. That's
Speaker 1: coming to the foundation shortly. Oh good, that brings back
Speaker 1: bad memories. Coach. Why my senior year stay basketball tournament? Yes,
Speaker 1: I played a boxing one on me. Oh boy, I
Speaker 1: got shut down. Yeah. I hate Boxing one. I think
Speaker 1: it's cheap. Really yeah, guard me, sorry about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Boxing one. I'm guarding you really heavily guarding. Done. Uh.
Speaker 1: The shirt say be a team player, stay strong, stay safe,
Speaker 1: and you've got your sunglasses on there holding the Larry
Speaker 1: Obrian Trophy. The Foundation supports children young adults through exposure
Speaker 1: to music, sports, and literacy. When'd you come up with this? Well,
Speaker 1: you know. Wow, ironically we've been we've been obviously plan
Speaker 1: on the foundation for a while. We actually had our kickoff,
Speaker 1: a night of music and support of the foundation on
Speaker 1: March eleventh. We literally we're wrapping it up when news
Speaker 1: of Rudy Gobert came out, like we were all there.
Speaker 1: I went straight to the hospital to get tested right
Speaker 1: from right from that event. So we just we just
Speaker 1: kicked it off and we're just trying to again, we're
Speaker 1: trying to you know, the COVID nineteen has changed things
Speaker 1: a little bit, so we're trying to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to support some kids through this and raise some
Speaker 1: money and that kind of stuff. Which the official website
Speaker 1: is it just Nick Nurse Foundation or do you have
Speaker 1: a yeah, Nick Foundation dot org. Yeah. Awesome, Uh, good
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I'm gonna see if I can
Speaker 1: set up this horse game with you and some of
Speaker 1: these other coaches here. Okay, I'll be there. I like it.
Speaker 1: Thank you coach. Great to talk to you again. Thanks
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse and my Toronto Raptors. We're going to take
Speaker 1: a break. Phone calls coming up next here in the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live every day
Speaker 1: at YouTube dot com slash The Dan Patrick Show. Chris
Speaker 1: Simms from Pro Football Talk will join us on the
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. I saw where a rumor about the Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks thinking about trading Russell Wilson a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago to the Browns in exchange for the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick where they would have taken. I believe Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield Junior the third and Chris Simms is the one
Speaker 1: who said I heard a rumor, so I want to
Speaker 1: ask him about rumor and how much factors attached to
Speaker 1: this rumor about Seattle wanting to trade Russell Wilson for
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. If I'm Cleveland, I would have loved to
Speaker 1: have made that move because if I had Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: on the Cleveland Browns, now we are a legitimate Super
Speaker 1: Bowl contender with that much talent. And Baker Mayfield is
Speaker 1: still a work in progress here. But if it's true,
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that you would trade
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. But if you're saying the only way we
Speaker 1: can get back to where we were is to have
Speaker 1: a rookie contract. So now we can go out and
Speaker 1: we can make that defense the legion of Boom again.
Speaker 1: We can fill in some of these other areas here.
Speaker 1: I understand that philosophy, but boy, I am trading a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer for somebody who I'm not quite sure
Speaker 1: is going to be a great quarterback, even a very
Speaker 1: good quarterback. We'll talk to Chris Simms about that coming
Speaker 1: up on the program tomorrow. All right. I thought that
Speaker 1: that was kind of juicy. Also as a former quarterback,
Speaker 1: what it would be like to go to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage as your call echoes through the stadium with
Speaker 1: no fans. So we'll have Chris Sims talk about that. Yeah, Paulie,
Speaker 1: going back to that story, First of all, I don't
Speaker 1: believe it, but I would like to know if there
Speaker 1: is any truth to that story about Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: the Browns who initiated the conversation. That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know, because I could see the brownsing we have
Speaker 1: them one pick. Can we parlay that into one of
Speaker 1: the top three quarterbacks in the league. I can't picture
Speaker 1: the Seahawks making a phone call thing, you know what,
Speaker 1: unless Seattle says we're going to rebuild and the Browns.
Speaker 1: The Browns weren't ready to win yet, but you're going
Speaker 1: to bring in Russell Wilson. Now you gotta pay him.
Speaker 1: It feels like this was a negotiating ploy on Seattle's
Speaker 1: part of this. Remember there was the rumor that Russ
Speaker 1: wanted to relocate to New York with his wife, Sierra,
Speaker 1: so she could be in the entertainment industry or be
Speaker 1: more involved. And I said, well, so the Giants are
Speaker 1: going to trade for Russell Wilson. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: happening now. Maybe they were thinking about it. It was
Speaker 1: a rumor, but I never heard any follow up to
Speaker 1: any of that. Also, I don't know what you're doing
Speaker 1: in quarantine, but my wife and I started doing the
Speaker 1: let's have the kids watch a movie that we love
Speaker 1: that they haven't seen, Like we watched Arizona two nights ago,
Speaker 1: because some of my kids hadn't seen it. Uh Diner
Speaker 1: is one that's on the agenda coming up tonight, either
Speaker 1: that or broadcast news. So we're sort of going down
Speaker 1: the list of movies that we think that they would like.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting to see if they think it's like
Speaker 1: Raising Arizona. When I went to see that in the
Speaker 1: theater and this is the Cohen Brothers and you're there
Speaker 1: watching this movie and it just starts. There's there's no credits,
Speaker 1: there's no nothing coming up, and I'm like, it feels
Speaker 1: like I'm ten to twelve minutes in and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden the title comes up of Raising Arizona,
Speaker 1: and then you just hear this, do Do Do? And
Speaker 1: I went, what just happened here? And my wife and
Speaker 1: I walked out of that movie and we went, that's
Speaker 1: something we hadn't seen before. Cohen Brothers was you know
Speaker 1: they have they have that ability to surprise you. And
Speaker 1: there's so many I go back to Blood Simple with
Speaker 1: the Cohen Brothers, that that's another Miller Miller's Crossing. Oh brother,
Speaker 1: where art thou the Cohen Brothers did Miller's Crossing? I
Speaker 1: think they did? Yeah, but uh yeah, Cohen Brothers, they
Speaker 1: never ceased to amazing. All Right, one movie that you
Speaker 1: guys would recommend. Now my kids are twenty one through
Speaker 1: twenty eight. This isn't a movie for your kids. It's
Speaker 1: for my kids, because you guys might have a better idea. Here, Paulie,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. My kids are eleven and eight,
Speaker 1: and I really want to show the old No, this
Speaker 1: is mine. Oh, for your kids twenty one through twenty eight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care about your kids. It's about my kids. Well,
Speaker 1: so they're old enough to watch anything. Yeah, I wonder
Speaker 1: if they've seen True Romance with Christians later. Oh, they
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. That's a fantastic movie, especially if you
Speaker 1: have no concept of it and you put it on cold.
Speaker 1: A lot of violence, A lot of violence, but good violence.
Speaker 1: That's a Tarantino. I don't know if I think he
Speaker 1: may have written it. I don't. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he directed it or the other way around. Todd Spooks
Speaker 1: The Shining, depending on what mood you're in on a
Speaker 1: given night. Okay, the Shining, The Shining, I thought, to
Speaker 1: me the scarest movie everybody, if you want to keep
Speaker 1: it light. Airplane I thought was hysterical. I loved that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that one too. Shining is a little heavy mclovin.
Speaker 1: First of all, I just want to say I love
Speaker 1: the three movies so much broadcast news is the best
Speaker 1: and Dier I would go with add to graduate to
Speaker 1: that list for that age group with Dustin Offman, I
Speaker 1: think that really speaks to twenty somethings. Okay, so you O'Connor.
Speaker 1: You know a movie I just watched with I remember
Speaker 1: as a kid watching and loving and just this past
Speaker 1: weekend I watched it with my son who's ten, was
Speaker 1: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which might be the
Speaker 1: dumbest movie of all time. It is so impossible, we stupid.
Speaker 1: It opens well one so he was like, Dad, I
Speaker 1: can't tell if I love this movie or hate this movie.
Speaker 1: It's kind of both. Um, but it opens with like
Speaker 1: four minutes of credits. It's like that's the opening jokes credits.
Speaker 1: And he was like, Dad, did this the end or
Speaker 1: what's happening? Um? We were thinking of this is Spinal
Speaker 1: Tap two as another one, A great movie, great because
Speaker 1: Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show like they loved
Speaker 1: Best in Shows and Show is so good because Fred
Speaker 1: Willard you and I've been saying that long. Oh, I know,
Speaker 1: I know. Even when we have a guest on Seriously,
Speaker 1: how much can you bet remember we did that with
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg came on. He good, Like, seriously, how much
Speaker 1: can you bet? I think we asked someone that yesterday?
Speaker 1: Did we ask Mike Rabel? Yeah? Seriously how much can
Speaker 1: you bench? Matt and Seattle? Hey Matt, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? Hey you guys. A long time caller, sorry,
Speaker 1: a long time let's first time caller. I want to say,
Speaker 1: first off, thank you guys for um let's continue your show.
Speaker 1: Listen to you guys every morning on my way to work.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt. I just wanted to say, going back
Speaker 1: to that comment earlier about the who's you would have
Speaker 1: bet on to make the Hall of Fame after the
Speaker 1: first couple of seasons, my main one would have been
Speaker 1: Tim Lindscum. He started off on fire and then he
Speaker 1: just kind of dwindled out, So that would I thought
Speaker 1: that would be a cool one too. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: a good suggestion, Thank you, Matt. You have two Cy youngs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had back to back Cy youngs at age twenty
Speaker 1: four and twenty five, Tim Lensicum and never was a
Speaker 1: top five cy Young guy. Again, we got a few
Speaker 1: Mark priors, but you also had with Lindsicum, the big
Speaker 1: knock was his wind up because it looked like physically
Speaker 1: it's impossible to continue to do that. And I mean
Speaker 1: he was a wiry guy, but he had that wind
Speaker 1: up where you wondered, could his back, could his body
Speaker 1: withstand that of making thirty starts a year? Adam, and
Speaker 1: Indiana joins us, Adam, what do you have for me today? Hey,
Speaker 1: I would the game with Michael Douglas with the Kid. Okay,
Speaker 1: you remember that movie. But no, I appreciate your show
Speaker 1: and appreciate you not going political on us. But what
Speaker 1: I was calling in about was Dennis Rodman to me,
Speaker 1: has to be top twenty, top ten in my book almost.
Speaker 1: But people acted like he couldn't score. But I remember
Speaker 1: in that last Bulls run. I don't think it was
Speaker 1: the last year, but it was one of those three
Speaker 1: championships and it was a game before and he liked
Speaker 1: mister free throw or something, and people were talking about
Speaker 1: he couldn't shoot, and He's like, I could score twenty
Speaker 1: five points a game. The very next night he come
Speaker 1: out and almost left thirty. So yeah, he was a
Speaker 1: good scorer in junior college. Thanks for the phone call, Adam.
Speaker 1: You know he got bored it almost like he was
Speaker 1: bored with scoring. He didn't want to. He'd get to
Speaker 1: the free throw line and he didn't care. His job
Speaker 1: was getting rebounds. But no, he's not a top twenty player.
Speaker 1: And he's a unique player, but he's not a top
Speaker 1: twenty player. When he was with the Pistons, that was
Speaker 1: when Dennis Rodman was a great player. And that's going
Speaker 1: to sound strange because, oh, he's out getting sixteen, seventeen,
Speaker 1: eighteen rebounds a game. He wasn't great, in my opinion
Speaker 1: back then with the Bulls. He was great with the Pistons.
Speaker 1: He ran all day. He guarded Worthy, he guarded Bird,
Speaker 1: whoever you wanted him to guard, he was going to guard,
Speaker 1: and he was tireless. That was when Rodman was great.
Speaker 1: Two hours in the books, One more to go. Update
Speaker 1: the poll results, Fritz, he's got his scoreboard challenges. Well,
Speaker 1: we got some burgers on the trigger today. Du
