Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's final hour on this Tuesday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan as Dan Patrick Show. We stumbled on a
Speaker 1: topic of daughters getting married, and I have three daughters.
Speaker 1: They're not married, and I can't imagine what it's going
Speaker 1: to be like that day. I don't look forward to it.
Speaker 1: I look forward to it in other ways, but man,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be the you know, that
Speaker 1: huddle of water there, big boob there. So now I'm
Speaker 1: hearing from other guys who've either gone through it or
Speaker 1: getting ready to go through it. I don't have any advice.
Speaker 1: You know. It's and even given that speech at the
Speaker 1: wedding reception, I'm going to be a mess. There's no
Speaker 1: way I can get through it. But I'm going to
Speaker 1: need one of those coaches, motivational coaches, I think, to
Speaker 1: get me through my daughter's weddings whenever those happened, hopefully
Speaker 1: a long long time that they don't happen. I told
Speaker 1: them all they can live at home the rest of
Speaker 1: live they want to. I'm fine with that. Alrighty. Let
Speaker 1: me see. Let me get to the headlines here. Oklahoma City,
Speaker 1: they have forced a game seven. You have the Heat
Speaker 1: meeting the Bucks in Game one tonight, Celtics Raptors, Jazz
Speaker 1: in the Nuggets. Derwin James are the Chargers out for
Speaker 1: the season. There was I guess a little bit of
Speaker 1: talk maybe they try to bring in Earl Thomas and
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, the head coach of the Chargers, said that
Speaker 1: they would not be doing that. The NFL is now
Speaker 1: taken over the Washington investigation. Daniel Snyder is just trying
Speaker 1: to get to the regular season. If you look at
Speaker 1: what's happened over the last couple of months, so promised
Speaker 1: to name change, brought in an African American to be
Speaker 1: the team president, brought in a woman to run their
Speaker 1: broadcast team, fired some people. He's doing everything he can
Speaker 1: to keep the barbarians away from the gate because that's
Speaker 1: what's happening. The NFL is all of a sudden going, wait, Mann,
Speaker 1: you're doing your own investigation. It's not really an independent
Speaker 1: investigation if you're doing your own investigation. The NFL has
Speaker 1: now decided that they would like to take over the investigation.
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder says, hey, I'm all for that. I suggested
Speaker 1: that they take over this investigation. Of course, he's mister
Speaker 1: cooperation right the past decade, when you think of cooperation,
Speaker 1: you think of Daniel Snyder. But walls are closing in
Speaker 1: here on Daniel Sneyder. But if he can get to
Speaker 1: the regular season, then all of a sudden people move
Speaker 1: on and start talking about football. That's what his game
Speaker 1: plan is. Jamar Chase, the great wide receiver at LSU,
Speaker 1: decided he's not going to play this year. Now a
Speaker 1: tackle at LSU, Tyler Shelvin, who I believe is expected
Speaker 1: to be a first round pick, first round talent, he
Speaker 1: has decided that he will opt out of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty season as well. A source told me this morning.
Speaker 1: I said, what's going on at LSU? Bigger story here,
Speaker 1: and my source said, they're dealing with social issues at
Speaker 1: LSU and Auburn. Don't be surprised if you have a
Speaker 1: couple more players who will opt out. PAC twelve's in
Speaker 1: a mess right now. Pact twelve presidents considering a massive
Speaker 1: overhaul of conference structure, seeking an advisor for media strategy.
Speaker 1: That usually means the commissioner might not keep his job.
Speaker 1: Larry Scott, you have to try, Like not trying is
Speaker 1: worse than just saying, you know, we're going to give up,
Speaker 1: at least to a lot of people here, the optics
Speaker 1: of these other conferences playing football in the PAC twelve
Speaker 1: didn't try. The Big ten didn't try. I mean, Big twelve,
Speaker 1: acc SEC may not work, but at least people will
Speaker 1: give them credit to say you did try to make
Speaker 1: this work here. You know, you got the parents, you
Speaker 1: got the players, you got boosters, athletic directors, coaches, they
Speaker 1: want you to it least trying. Sports is built upon trying,
Speaker 1: and you didn't have that with a PAC twelve. And
Speaker 1: they're going to talk about restructuring here and I don't
Speaker 1: know where the PAC twelve is going. Big ten will
Speaker 1: be fine. But as I said to you yesterday, my
Speaker 1: source said it's a real long shot that they would
Speaker 1: have football around Thanksgiving. He said maybe maybe January. And
Speaker 1: he didn't budge off of that. Today when I text him, said,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have players who are just gonna opt out.
Speaker 1: They're not going to play in you know, in the
Speaker 1: winter or early spring. Not going to happen there. But
Speaker 1: you know, the fate of the PAC twelve networks is
Speaker 1: at stake here. You know, the conference owns the media, division,
Speaker 1: and this was Larry Scott his idea. But they've underperformed
Speaker 1: expectations in the areas of audience in revenue here. So
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure this out and get media strategy
Speaker 1: for the Big Twelve. And meanwhile, it's full steam ahead
Speaker 1: for these other college programs playing football, but for the
Speaker 1: Pac twelve restructuring here and the Big Ten. According to
Speaker 1: my source, it's too little, too late for the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: Back to the Washington football team, Daniel Snyder said he'll
Speaker 1: released current and former team employees from their non disclosure
Speaker 1: agreements for the purposes of cooperating with the investigation. This
Speaker 1: according to The Washington Post, the NFL knows it has
Speaker 1: a problem with Daniel Snyder and they need a solution.
Speaker 1: Can you have a palace coup here? Roger Goodell at
Speaker 1: least seems committed to fully airing Daniel Snyder's conduct. And
Speaker 1: if you are going to allow current and former team
Speaker 1: employees to be released from their non disclosure agreements for
Speaker 1: the purposes of cooperation with investigators, then maybe you get
Speaker 1: something here. But under the previous investigation, that wasn't an
Speaker 1: independent investigation. And I'm glad that the NFL at least took.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't maybe Daniel Seiders making a mockery of
Speaker 1: this to begin with, but the NFL has got to
Speaker 1: stand for something better than this. And that's where you
Speaker 1: have to say, if there is an investigation, We're doing
Speaker 1: the investigation, not you. Eight seven seven three d P
Speaker 1: showemadress Dpadan Patrick dot com. We'll check in with the
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. Jason Jackson, who I've known for I guess
Speaker 1: twenty years now. Worked with him at the Mothership. He's
Speaker 1: been there a TV host, sideline reporter for a long
Speaker 1: long time. He was there when Lebron was there. So
Speaker 1: we'll ask him get a temperature here on just how
Speaker 1: good the Miami Heat are after they picked up the
Speaker 1: win last night. And an interesting stat last night, the
Speaker 1: buck shot forty six percent from three point range. They
Speaker 1: shot fifty three percent from the foul line. Where where
Speaker 1: did the great free It's not difficult to shoot a
Speaker 1: free throw, and it's your job, but boy, we could
Speaker 1: shoot a three? Can you shoot a free throw? And
Speaker 1: Greek Freak was four of twelve watching the Thunder and
Speaker 1: the Rockets. And I know it's easy to be critical
Speaker 1: of Russell Westbrook that deal that they when they sent
Speaker 1: Chris Paul to Oklahoma City and you get four first
Speaker 1: round draft picks there. And I do love watching Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that I think he is successful consistent.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's helping them win yet. Twenty
Speaker 1: two turnovers, including seven by Westbrook. But I will say
Speaker 1: Chris Paul has played great. He's been the best player
Speaker 1: on the floor in my opinion. He had twenty eight
Speaker 1: last night, a couple of big free throws there. And
Speaker 1: this is a team that was kind of limping into
Speaker 1: the playoffs as well, because you know, Chris Paul misses time.
Speaker 1: But this year when you needed him to step up,
Speaker 1: he's been great. He's been mostly healthy all season long,
Speaker 1: and taking care of the ball is going to be
Speaker 1: so important going into this game seven. I just don't
Speaker 1: think you can have one of those where you're loose
Speaker 1: with the ball and they're begging Russell Westbrook to shoot.
Speaker 1: But Chris Paul had thirteen fourth quarter points. I didn't
Speaker 1: know they had a clutch points stat, but they do.
Speaker 1: Chris Paul leads the league and clutch points he's tied
Speaker 1: for first, and clutch steals those are the things you want.
Speaker 1: And I've said before, does he really have a moment
Speaker 1: Chris Paul's moment in the NBA? This might be it.
Speaker 1: He might be pulling off his NBA moment. He didn't
Speaker 1: have those moments when he played with the Clippers. His
Speaker 1: moment was he was going to go to the Lakers
Speaker 1: in a trade that was denied when the league took
Speaker 1: over ownership of New Orleans and then going to Oklhoma City,
Speaker 1: almost as if to say, hey, nice little career, enjoy
Speaker 1: the twilight of your career going to Oklhoma City and
Speaker 1: they were going to rebuild Chris Paul was on the
Speaker 1: trading block, reportedly and wisely kept him in house. I
Speaker 1: think they realized what they had and he would be
Speaker 1: very beneficial with a young roster there. And you're seeing
Speaker 1: that so far. Their ceiling is not as high as
Speaker 1: the Rockets, but I don't think their basement is as
Speaker 1: low as the Rockets. Now. I'm talking about game in
Speaker 1: and night in and night out, because the Rockets can
Speaker 1: be absolutely stunning, and then they can shoot themselves in
Speaker 1: the foot yampol. What would happen to the Rockets if
Speaker 1: they don't get out of this series. Get rid of
Speaker 1: James Harden. They gave up too much for Westbrook. What
Speaker 1: can they do? Their coach will be gone. Mike D'Antoni
Speaker 1: will lose his job immediately. Yes, he'll lose his job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they gave up too much for Westbrook, so you gotta
Speaker 1: keep him. Anne Harden, Eric Gordon a lot of riding
Speaker 1: on this Game seven and I'm I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: Jazz Nuggets Game seven because it feels like the first
Speaker 1: start of fifty points is gonna win that series. Chris
Speaker 1: in California, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind today? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: actually on the same point that you're on. Chris Paul
Speaker 1: and the Rocket series with the Thunder is the ultimate
Speaker 1: slap in the face if the Oklahoma City Thunder win
Speaker 1: this series, because you trade Chris Paul through Oklahoma City
Speaker 1: for Rush Russell Restaurant trying to get to the finals,
Speaker 1: and then you get beat by the team you traded
Speaker 1: to the team for I can't remember series, We're the
Speaker 1: last time the ultimate slap in the face. Happy, But
Speaker 1: that's just my opinion. All right, Well, thank you, Chris,
Speaker 1: I agree, got kids in the back room screaming. Chris
Speaker 1: wants to get his point across, and once again this
Speaker 1: is a slap in the face with Chris my name
Speaker 1: done by the way Brendon Ingram he caps a breakout
Speaker 1: season the NBA's Most Improved Player award. Okay, I have
Speaker 1: a problem with this. I do like brandon Ingram. He
Speaker 1: did improve. He was the second pick overall, so he
Speaker 1: was a disappointment prior to being I don't know if
Speaker 1: I want this award if I'm brandon Ingram, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: the number two pick overall. Shouldn't we shouldn't we say
Speaker 1: if you've been drafted in the first round, I how
Speaker 1: about a lottery pick? You can't be most improved if
Speaker 1: you're a lottery He doesn't want this award. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you do. You're supposed to be great. And
Speaker 1: I know he had the health issues. Remember he had
Speaker 1: the blood clotting issue, so you know he had a
Speaker 1: premature ending to that eighty eighteen twenty nineteen season with
Speaker 1: the Lakers and then be able to come back with
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I understand that, and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: diminish that. It's just he was the number two pick overall. Yeah, mcclub.
Speaker 1: I mean Luca was third. The same thing apply to Luca.
Speaker 1: Can't he can't? He was awesome last year? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't. You're not most improved? Like most improved is
Speaker 1: the guy where you go? Oh, he made that leap
Speaker 1: from whatever? Like Jamal Murray might be the most improved
Speaker 1: player in the bubble. He averaged eighteen points. He scored
Speaker 1: fifty Now bam, auto bio. Becoming an All Star Like that,
Speaker 1: that's improving. Not Hey, you're the number two pick overall.
Speaker 1: I can't give you that award. Yeah, point Dan. I
Speaker 1: think I'm the only one here who could talk educated
Speaker 1: about this. I won Most Improved Player my first year
Speaker 1: of grade school football. How can you be most improved
Speaker 1: player if it's your first year of grade school football?
Speaker 1: They gave away awards at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: I think they felt bad for me and gave me
Speaker 1: most improved Player award. Yes, Ton, but isn't the award
Speaker 1: inherently a backhanded compliment? To get most improved you have
Speaker 1: to be someone that needs a lot of improvement at
Speaker 1: some point to become most improved. You're saying that at
Speaker 1: one point you're not living up to your expectations or
Speaker 1: you're far below you know where you are now? Well, no,
Speaker 1: you could be most improved, but not as the number
Speaker 1: two pick overall. If you are an undrafted free agent
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you develop into an All star,
Speaker 1: you've improved, or at least you've proved doubters wrong. But
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram was expected to be a very good player. Yeah, MC,
Speaker 1: what's a better award? Most improved or sixth man? Both
Speaker 1: have implied insults in there, like you're not good enough
Speaker 1: to start, but you're a great sixth man. See sixth
Speaker 1: man used to mean something because John Howell check won
Speaker 1: it with the Boston Celtics, Kevin McHale won it, Bill
Speaker 1: Walton won it. I get it was a compliment that
Speaker 1: you came off the bend. Michael Cooper, you were sixth man,
Speaker 1: which meant you're coming off the bench and you're helping
Speaker 1: your team. Now it's oh, you're not good enough to start.
Speaker 1: Oh you're you're a good non starter. Yeah see it's
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, Hey, if we could start you, we would,
Speaker 1: but we can't. But you're not good enough to start. Now.
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here, Carissa in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Hi Carissa, Good morning, Dan, Good morning. I just want
Speaker 1: to make a comment on your daughter's segment. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say, your daughters are so lucky. Watching on TV,
Speaker 1: I can just feel how much you love them and
Speaker 1: care about them, and that is just so fortunate and heartwarming.
Speaker 1: And I I remember watching you on CNN when I
Speaker 1: was a little kid, and it's just it just made
Speaker 1: me feel really good to hear how much you care
Speaker 1: about your daughters. Thank you, Thank you, Chris. I wish
Speaker 1: I cared a little less so then I wouldn't cry
Speaker 1: as much as I will. And my wife is so
Speaker 1: strong she is, and I cry all the time, and like,
Speaker 1: my daughters are disappointed if I don't cry at something.
Speaker 1: And I have one daughter who's really emotional, poor thing.
Speaker 1: She just liked me. Well, I got two that are emotional,
Speaker 1: my son, my oldest my son and my youngest daughter
Speaker 1: not emotional. Then there's me and then my two other
Speaker 1: daughters and uh, and we we look for a reason
Speaker 1: to cry. It'll be like, oh did you see that butterfly?
Speaker 1: It was? And my wife will go, why are you crying?
Speaker 1: We went to school, my daughter's school play, and I
Speaker 1: think she played like um, like an object. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know what she was, like a tomato or
Speaker 1: a mushroom or something. And we got done with her
Speaker 1: scene and I started crying and my wife goes, she
Speaker 1: didn't do anything in the scene. I go, I know,
Speaker 1: but I missed all this stuff when I was at ESPN.
Speaker 1: She goes, I should be crying because I had to
Speaker 1: go to all of these things. I'm watching a school
Speaker 1: play and it's not very good. But my daughter's up
Speaker 1: there and she's like a mushroom or something. She doesn't
Speaker 1: say anything, she just stands there. And then I'm an
Speaker 1: emotional wreck just because of that. I'm the one who
Speaker 1: cried at the Book of Mormon when I went to
Speaker 1: see that Broadway play. At intermission, I'm crying, and my
Speaker 1: kids are going, are you crying? Because you're think I go, no,
Speaker 1: it was a live performance in front of me, and
Speaker 1: I'd have no idea one start crying. I gotta get tougher.
Speaker 1: So I'm getting soft. It's too late, right, it is,
Speaker 1: But I am soft. I'm soft as church music. And
Speaker 1: when they play that music, when they hit the organ,
Speaker 1: m and I'm not even gonna use a handkerchief. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna like white snot on my my tuxedough. I
Speaker 1: was thinking of wearing a veil, you know, like my
Speaker 1: daughter would wear a veil when she gets married. I'd
Speaker 1: wear a veil as well, so they wouldn't. Or maybe
Speaker 1: I would wear a mask like Ladanian Tomlinson, where you
Speaker 1: can't really see that my eyes are watering. I would
Speaker 1: hope you go the exact opposite way. Then you will
Speaker 1: embrace your genuine emotion and not be coached into anything
Speaker 1: or tape something. I know you're being facetio, but I
Speaker 1: think the best thing you can do is whatever you're
Speaker 1: feeling in that moment is to do anything but hide it.
Speaker 1: I know, but I don't want to cry out loud.
Speaker 1: But you're not looking if it's not you're not looking
Speaker 1: for attention, on making it about yourself. You're experiencing what
Speaker 1: you're feeling in that moment, and I think people appreciate that. Yes,
Speaker 1: not looking for attention. Yes, well, so there's a difference
Speaker 1: between crying and sobbing. It sounds like you're you're okay
Speaker 1: with crying, you're afraid of sobbings, yes, which right, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't want you to sob either, but just
Speaker 1: crying It's fine, yes, But how bad would it be
Speaker 1: if you're a dad and you're the other way, you're
Speaker 1: walking down, you're perfectly composed. You're way, hey, Steve, good
Speaker 1: to see like you're not bothered at all by the moment.
Speaker 1: That would be bad. I have a friend who was
Speaker 1: that way. His daughter got married, but last year or
Speaker 1: the year before, he was composed, gave an unbelievable speech
Speaker 1: ad lived. He only cried when he saw the bill
Speaker 1: at the reception. He was so composed. I said, God, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I wish you could do. Could you do my wedding
Speaker 1: when my daughters get married? Just give the speech? You know,
Speaker 1: I'll write it. You just give it designated speaker. All right,
Speaker 1: let me take a break. I want to talk some
Speaker 1: Miami Heat basketball. As a good friend, I have a
Speaker 1: story I have to come clean on with Jason Jackson.
Speaker 1: When I was at ESPN, I stole something from his desk.
Speaker 1: I have to telling this. This will probably be the
Speaker 1: first time that he's ever heard. We'll take a break here,
Speaker 1: we'll gather our composure. It's a twenty one after the hour.

Speaker 1: out the sun? So we need a point guard other
Speaker 1: and Ricky Rubio can you help us? No? I can't.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's bringing Jason Jackson Covers to the Miami heat.
Speaker 1: Oh I did I just saw this. Purvis Ellison won
Speaker 1: the most improved Player in nineteen ninety one. That was
Speaker 1: his third season. He was the number one overall pick
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine with the Kings. You can't be
Speaker 1: most improved if you're a lottery pick, or at least
Speaker 1: you don't want to be most improved. Yeah. What about
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. I think he won most Comeback Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. He didn't come back from anything. He just
Speaker 1: was below average with the Dolphins. He came back from
Speaker 1: being below average and he was He was not a
Speaker 1: lottery pick with the NFL. I don't think was Eve
Speaker 1: McLevin seven seven? Hannahill was that high something like I
Speaker 1: thought he was, like in the eleven thirteen let's double check, Yeah,
Speaker 1: why don't you do that? While I talked to Jason Jackson,
Speaker 1: he covers the Miami Heat and Miami Heat with a
Speaker 1: big win last night with my guy Jimmy Butler was
Speaker 1: great in the fourth quarter. He had forty points, including
Speaker 1: fifteen in that dominating fourth quarter and they take Game
Speaker 1: one from Milwaukee. Jay, Jack's good to talk to you again.
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked about pat Riley with what he's
Speaker 1: done with this team building it. I think that Eric
Speaker 1: Spoilster is going to be a Hall of Famer when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. Tyler Hero comes from Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson from Division three to Michigan and now becoming
Speaker 1: one of the better shooters in the game. But Pat
Speaker 1: Riley has done a brilliant job building this team. How
Speaker 1: would you explain it? I'll tell you two quick stories
Speaker 1: about each They're super cool. Check camera who is the
Speaker 1: right now, He's like Scout emeritus. But he's been with
Speaker 1: Pat high level executive with the Heat for the majority of,
Speaker 1: if not all of these twenty five years with the Heat.
Speaker 1: And he went and saw a workout at Michigan for
Speaker 1: Robinson and the majority of it was shooting, obviously, and
Speaker 1: I believe he didn't even get to his car before
Speaker 1: he was in sposed ear like, we have got to
Speaker 1: get this kid, Like this was one of the most
Speaker 1: amazing shooting performances I have ever seen. That Chad had
Speaker 1: seen everybody, all right, he saw everybody back to what
Speaker 1: guys were dribbling with one hand behind their back. And
Speaker 1: so the fact that the Heat are willing to go
Speaker 1: that deep and find the guy that's not even drafted,
Speaker 1: that that's no one's really clamoring for and two Duncan's credit.
Speaker 1: He bought in, did the summer league route, got to
Speaker 1: the G League team, got the two way deal, came
Speaker 1: into camp this year hoping for a rotation gig ends
Speaker 1: up starting as for Tyler Hero. Listen, he was blue chip,
Speaker 1: he was you know, made all of Wisconsin cry when
Speaker 1: he decided to go to Kentucky. And it was great
Speaker 1: his first year. I do some fundraising for coach cal
Speaker 1: you know, back when he would join us back in
Speaker 1: the ESPN days came friendly and each summer I go
Speaker 1: to Lexington. But that summer, I guess it would have
Speaker 1: been two summers ago, Kentucky had their international trip in
Speaker 1: the Bahamas. So we went. And I remember calling back
Speaker 1: to my boys, Justin and Jordan, because they follow all
Speaker 1: these high school phenoms. I'm like, who is this kid
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin? H And I rolled the art because I've
Speaker 1: been in Miami so long. Who's this heaven? Though? Here
Speaker 1: in the Bamas. My son Jordan goes, Dad, it's it's
Speaker 1: Hero and that dude can ball, And I mean he
Speaker 1: was in this gym dance and I mean against national teams,
Speaker 1: balancing all over the place, dunk it on dudes, a
Speaker 1: flare and the pizzas he carried through. It's been a
Speaker 1: long long time since I've seen a rookie have so
Speaker 1: little concern about what he did not know and just
Speaker 1: went out and played basketball. It's amazing to watch. He's
Speaker 1: a Jason Jackson in Miami Heat TV host joining us
Speaker 1: on the program, and we worked together at the Mothership
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Do you remember your first sports center?
Speaker 1: I do, and it was an accident. Somebody called in sick.
Speaker 1: I can't remember who was it, Big Show Bob Stevens
Speaker 1: who called, uh that Bob was not there? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's phenomenal, shout out. No, I was on with It
Speaker 1: was a six o'clock sports center because like you know,
Speaker 1: when you first come in, they make you sit for
Speaker 1: two weeks and watch sports center, you know, and you're
Speaker 1: just watching television. Did you enjoy watching me? I always did?
Speaker 1: But again, this was the sixth, six thirty additional or
Speaker 1: six o'clock at that point, and it was Susie Calbert
Speaker 1: Um Yours truly and bobly and I was over on
Speaker 1: that side set. So they only had me on, I believe,
Speaker 1: like twice in the whole hour. But as you remember
Speaker 1: sitting down that first time, first of all, you're like,
Speaker 1: why am I here? And please don't bleep up that
Speaker 1: I did that for a year at two thirty though,
Speaker 1: a lot of bleeping up for a year. Thank god
Speaker 1: for ESPN News got me a lot of reps for
Speaker 1: a year. And uh and and people like yourself and
Speaker 1: you know who like on the set was really really
Speaker 1: keyed to me, just like getting my feet solid on
Speaker 1: the ground each night was actually Craig killbore. And it's
Speaker 1: funny a lot of people could see him as maybe
Speaker 1: not the best teammate or worried about his start him
Speaker 1: over there, and they would be in correct, Jason, Well
Speaker 1: for you, for you, because coming to the big show, baby,
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to throw the biggest bunch, and just hanging
Speaker 1: with you how did help you? But he was like
Speaker 1: just just in condensing the idea of sitting there, the
Speaker 1: enormity of it, of the simplicity of how to get
Speaker 1: stuff done. Obviously, Stewart and Scott and I were extremely close,
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of shots before a lot
Speaker 1: of the ESPN two folks did, and that did not
Speaker 1: go well for a lot of people. But now Jason
Speaker 1: had a cubicle outside of my office. Oh you mean
Speaker 1: you're secretary? You were, Yeah, you would have been my secretary.
Speaker 1: But one day I decided that I wanted to put
Speaker 1: another TV monitor in my office because I was doing
Speaker 1: all these blind highlights the eleven o'clock Sports Center I
Speaker 1: didn't get to I wanted to see more games while
Speaker 1: I'm writing the show. So management wouldn't give me another
Speaker 1: TV monitor. So I went out and I stole Jason's
Speaker 1: and he came in that day and he goes, where's
Speaker 1: my monitor? You've seen my TV I've got it in
Speaker 1: there in my office with my door shut, and I'll
Speaker 1: be I was like, let's find that lets you know,
Speaker 1: let's find them by the way, a little tiny monitoring. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever told you that I
Speaker 1: stole your monitor, but oh I was. I was Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: I was going to find that monitor. I don't know
Speaker 1: who has it, but the statute of limitations is over
Speaker 1: with that. Let's call engineering and get this kid another monitor.
Speaker 1: What kind of buzz do we have on South Beach
Speaker 1: for twa tongue of ioloa? Oh my goodness, well, thank goodness,
Speaker 1: there's a curfew over there because it can get buzzy,
Speaker 1: as you will no listen the joy of just having
Speaker 1: something that is I want to be respectful of everyone
Speaker 1: in between Marino and this young professional professional quarterbacks that
Speaker 1: have been a long way. But bless his heart, Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's mother passed and so he was away for this
Speaker 1: first scrimmage and the Dolphins and I don't quite get
Speaker 1: the marketing aspect of this, but they didn't allow any
Speaker 1: video from from their first scrimmage and obviously no fans
Speaker 1: were there, but a lot of bobs about the young fellow.
Speaker 1: He obviously can sling it. He's had a great personality.
Speaker 1: He's embraced this place. Dan, you know the deal WS
Speaker 1: like there's it's funny about this place. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time since the Dolphins have been expected of WS.
Speaker 1: But the thing that will change on a guide in
Speaker 1: this town. The team I work for has been winning
Speaker 1: consistently for the whole time I've been here. I'm about
Speaker 1: to wrap up my sixteenth season with the heat. But
Speaker 1: the second and I think it's only happened once in
Speaker 1: my time, The second the Dolphins were in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: everybody went next job heat. They're gone right right right
Speaker 1: to all things Dolphins, and so all it's gonna take
Speaker 1: is this young fellow under center getting some wins and
Speaker 1: an idea of the possibility of the postseason, and everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna go nuts. But he's that The one thing about
Speaker 1: this Lias, As you know, Dan, there's plenty to do,
Speaker 1: so you better grab people's attention, and the only way
Speaker 1: to do it in Miami is with women. What do
Speaker 1: you miss about covering lebron Ah, That's a really good question.
Speaker 1: I so enjoyed it. I wanted to so bad, Dan,
Speaker 1: because like you and me, he's from the great state
Speaker 1: of Ohio, and I wanted that connection, and I wanted
Speaker 1: it to be enjoyable after having outside coverage like we have,
Speaker 1: when you know we're covering the finals, an All Star game,
Speaker 1: back of the worldwide leader, of covering Michael and Kobe,
Speaker 1: Shaquille at his height and Shaquille every day, and then
Speaker 1: Dwayne every day. I wanted this so bad to be awesome,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was. He was present, He was
Speaker 1: great every single night. He makes everybody else great every
Speaker 1: single night. I will say this, I missed the eighty
Speaker 1: one playoff game checks that I got in those four years. Dan,
Speaker 1: there was eighty one playoff games at four years. That
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. So uh and uh and now I probably
Speaker 1: would want to encourage him to do this, Stan, I mean,
Speaker 1: like there comes to shave it all off. You gotta
Speaker 1: lebron James. Okay, is he painting? How much? How much
Speaker 1: is he painting his hairline on there? When you see
Speaker 1: a hairline, it's painted? Dad, I mean, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I remember when he was younger. I first brought it up.
Speaker 1: I said, listen, you have to do it in the
Speaker 1: off seats. You have to see how your your hair
Speaker 1: looks well. You don't want all this meat, you know,
Speaker 1: all bunched uff, looking like a sack of hot dogs.
Speaker 1: You want to make sure you have a nice tight melon.
Speaker 1: I got a little little something in the back. But
Speaker 1: you talk about me behind my back now? But what
Speaker 1: if he has a Scottie Pippen head man, that's you
Speaker 1: gotta find out. I said, that's the first thing you
Speaker 1: have to find out if you look good, ball. But
Speaker 1: what doesn't look good is if you're out there with
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of shell I black shea not what
Speaker 1: you want it then it come down into the eye.
Speaker 1: It might it might run down in his eyes. But
Speaker 1: if he was still there, you wouldn't be saying this
Speaker 1: every day. I would just encourage him that it is
Speaker 1: a good look. I have a senior in college of
Speaker 1: senior in private high school. You can make money with
Speaker 1: no hair. Uh. He's Jason Jackson, the Miami Heat TV host.
Speaker 1: And just remember I'm not here to cheer you. I'm
Speaker 1: here too. Yeah. Great, great to talk to you. Man.
Speaker 1: Always thank you Jason Jackson. He's one of the funniest
Speaker 1: guys I've ever been around. He makes me laugh every time.
Speaker 1: Black Shellac for Lebron. I was hoping that he would
Speaker 1: win a game so I could have Jason on just
Speaker 1: for that reason. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 1: The Big ten has heard from the President of the
Speaker 1: United States at Stories Next. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live
Speaker 1: every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live
Speaker 1: every day at YouTube dot com slash. The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show Big ten has heard from the President of the
Speaker 1: United States President Trump called Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren
Speaker 1: this morning to discuss the return of play of Big
Speaker 1: Ten athletics. The call, described as lasting between fifteen and
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, described as great productive conversation. The commissioner of
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, Kevin Warren, told the President that he
Speaker 1: was exhausting every measure possible to play. The President promised
Speaker 1: to make testing and federal resources available to enable a
Speaker 1: return to Big Ten play. Commissioner Warren now needs for
Speaker 1: the Big Ten's Return to Competition task Force to provide
Speaker 1: him with a list of resources and thresholds necessary for
Speaker 1: a return to play, and then he'll reply provide that
Speaker 1: to the White House. There is no statement right now
Speaker 1: from the Big Ten. We followed up with them. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Big ten presidents and chancellors recently voted eleven to three
Speaker 1: to suspend all false sports. I was told it was
Speaker 1: a long shot to make this happen. But and once
Speaker 1: again if they voted so I've been told when I
Speaker 1: gave you the information that the Big ten and Pac
Speaker 1: twelve were shutting things down, I told you that the
Speaker 1: Big ten presidents voted twelve to two to not play.
Speaker 1: So now it's eleven to three. So I was told
Speaker 1: that there was no vote, but now there is a
Speaker 1: vote and it's eleven to three. So make up your
Speaker 1: mind if you're going to be critical of my report,
Speaker 1: which turned out to be correct. By the way, it
Speaker 1: was twelve to two. Iowa and Nebraska were the ones
Speaker 1: that said they wanted to play eleven to three. Is
Speaker 1: now is that Ohio state? That's now the three in there?
Speaker 1: But they suspended fall sports. And now the President of
Speaker 1: the United States trying to help the commissioner, Kevin Warren,
Speaker 1: somehow get testing so they can play. And this is
Speaker 1: not just football, this is all of fall sports, I believe,
Speaker 1: is what he's talking about. I don't know if the
Speaker 1: same offer was made to Larry Scott in the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve by the President, but I haven't heard anything. This
Speaker 1: is just the Big Ten that's being offered that by
Speaker 1: the president. President's tweet said, had a very productive conversation
Speaker 1: with Kevin Warren, commissioner the Big Ten Conference, about immediately
Speaker 1: starting up Big ten football would be good, and then
Speaker 1: in parentheses, great exclamation point for everyone, players, fans, country
Speaker 1: on the one yard line. Now it's just Big ten football.
Speaker 1: Is this fall sports? Because the other report had fall
Speaker 1: sports in there, not just Big ten football. But that
Speaker 1: is the latest tier. Final results of the poll question
Speaker 1: McLevin lease buzzworthy team in the NFL, The Jaguars finished
Speaker 1: up strong and topped the Bears, who are second place.
Speaker 1: Chris Simms from Pro Football Talk tweeted this out earlier
Speaker 1: in case you missed it, Leonard Fournette is on the
Speaker 1: outside looking in. He says teams that would immediately upgrade
Speaker 1: their running back position by claiming Fournette Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers, Bears, Bucks, Washington,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. This according to Chris Simms This Day
Speaker 1: in Sports History Polling nineteen ninety eight, Mark McGuire of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals hit his fifty and fifty seventh home runs
Speaker 1: to set a new National League record. By September twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: he had seventy home runs, so he hit thirteen more
Speaker 1: in twenty six days. I still look back on Barry
Speaker 1: Bonds that you know, we saw Mark McGuire and thought
Speaker 1: that was herculean. He had seventy home runs, and then
Speaker 1: you realized that Bonds hit seventy three, and they walked him,
Speaker 1: and intentionally walked him, like over two hundred times he
Speaker 1: was walked. I believe he would have I'm guessing a
Speaker 1: light estimate if they would have pitched to him that year.
Speaker 1: Ninety home runs. That's how good he was that year. Now,
Speaker 1: granted he was artificially helped to be great, but that
Speaker 1: just goes to show you. You know, when guys if
Speaker 1: everybody's using it, and then there are guys who are
Speaker 1: going to be even greater than you if they're using
Speaker 1: Like Lance Armstrong, everybody was cheating in the Tour de France.
Speaker 1: Lance was just better than the other writers were. That's
Speaker 1: why I almost feel like they should just let him
Speaker 1: have those titles, because by the time they were getting
Speaker 1: down to the guy who didn't cheat, like sometimes they'd
Speaker 1: be getting down into the twenties, it felt like it
Speaker 1: was a sport that, Hey, everybody has to cheat to
Speaker 1: be in this sport, to be crazy enough to do
Speaker 1: the Tour de front. Let him have his titles. There.
Speaker 1: Let's go around the room what we learn. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start in the back left with Todd Fritz at, Hey, good,
Speaker 1: what's your would think learn today? You think there's a
Speaker 1: feel around the heap, but you're not ready yet to
Speaker 1: call them this year's rafters. Yeah, I'm I'm interested in them.
Speaker 1: I find them really interesting and I would not be
Speaker 1: surprised if they upset the Bucks, if you want to
Speaker 1: call it an upset McK lovin a lot of allergy
Speaker 1: issues in cars around the country. In the second hour,
Speaker 1: I know, I was talking about my daughters when they
Speaker 1: get married and how emotional it's going to be. And
Speaker 1: if you're taking your daughter to school or you've been
Speaker 1: through it, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: girl go. My son. It was just my son, Hey,
Speaker 1: see you later, but you know, dude and my daughter.
