Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Tuesday, Dan and the
Speaker 1: dan 's Dan Patrick Show had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: with Duane Wade last hour. He's got a new book out.
Speaker 1: If you miss any of the interviews on this show,
Speaker 1: go to Dan Patrick dot com. Coming up, we'll talk
Speaker 1: to Dan Shaughnessy has a new book out as he
Speaker 1: looks back on the Larry Birds, Celtics and some of
Speaker 1: the great stories from the mid eighties. Eight seven seven
Speaker 1: three d P Show Email address TP at Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DP Show. At this point
Speaker 1: of the season, Mondays are almost as important as Sundays
Speaker 1: for some teams. That's because these teams get the MRI
Speaker 1: results and every team gets to find out how bad
Speaker 1: the damage is or was the day before you know.
Speaker 1: The Packers got good news running back Aaron Jones. He's
Speaker 1: gonna miss a week or two with a mild amcl spring.
Speaker 1: Steelers found out that t J. Watt no structural damage
Speaker 1: in his hip and knee despite a scary looking injury
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The news not as good for Washington as
Speaker 1: Chase Young He'll miss the rest of the season with
Speaker 1: the knee injury. This is just Week ten. The only
Speaker 1: thing we can predict for sure about the rest of
Speaker 1: the season is health will be one of, if not
Speaker 1: the most important storyline. The Bucks have stayed healthy. They
Speaker 1: stayed healthy last year. They won the Super Bowl. This
Speaker 1: year not as much. They've been waiting for Gronk and
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. They still have time to clean things up.
Speaker 1: But we're at that time of the year when a
Speaker 1: team's future might be effected greatly by what happens on
Speaker 1: a Monday MRI as opposed to what happens on a
Speaker 1: Sunday the Rams. Last night, you go into San Francisco
Speaker 1: and somehow couldn't stop the run again. That's five consecutive
Speaker 1: wins for Kyle Shanahan versus the Rams. And they do
Speaker 1: it by running the football. You know, when you're running
Speaker 1: it twenty five or thirty times, a lot of times
Speaker 1: you just keep running the football. You may not get
Speaker 1: big numbers, but you keep pounding away, pounding away, and
Speaker 1: then you loosen up the defense. And it takes a
Speaker 1: toll when you're out there that long. When you're running
Speaker 1: the ball thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, forty times
Speaker 1: in a game, and this is a defense that's not
Speaker 1: predicated on stopping the run. They didn't put any pressure
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Garoppolo and as a result, forty nine ers
Speaker 1: got a convincing win. You also had a situation with
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford throwing a couple of first quarter interceptions. Here
Speaker 1: is Sean McVay saying that after the bye week, they're
Speaker 1: going to be back. We'll look inwardly, we're gonna figure
Speaker 1: this thing out, and we're gonna come back for freaking swinging.
Speaker 1: I promise you that. All Right, these last seven games
Speaker 1: of the regular season, all right, they got a bye
Speaker 1: week and then they got green Bay. You're gonna come
Speaker 1: out swinging, and you go to Green Bay still got
Speaker 1: to win this division. You can talk tough. You got
Speaker 1: playtoff and going to green Bay better be able to
Speaker 1: stop the run. Yes, McLevin, you've wanted a team to
Speaker 1: be control arian and just go run, run, run, run.
Speaker 1: In today's NFL, is this the year that a team
Speaker 1: like that wins the Super Bowl? Well that's why I
Speaker 1: love the Titans this year because they improve their defense.
Speaker 1: I thought Julio Jones would have a larger impact. And
Speaker 1: you run the football because once you get to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: all you have to do is get there. Now you
Speaker 1: have to match up with us. If you play ten
Speaker 1: times against the team, you may beat that team eight times.
Speaker 1: But in the playoffs, it's just trickier. And we've seen
Speaker 1: that where teams kind of counterattack. What you do, control
Speaker 1: the ball, play good defense, run the football. And that's
Speaker 1: what I loved about the Titans. There's nobody like the Titans.
Speaker 1: Now the Cleveland Browns, I think are trying to be
Speaker 1: like the Titans. They just haven't had their running backs healthy.
Speaker 1: And that defense. Where's that defense that's been non existent?
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at the playoffs, who's
Speaker 1: built for the playoffs? They're baseball teams. Baseball teams in particular,
Speaker 1: they're built for the regular season. They're not built for
Speaker 1: the postseason. I go back to the Seattle Mariners when
Speaker 1: they won but one hundred and sixteen games and they
Speaker 1: got to the postseason. They didn't have that number one,
Speaker 1: number two starter, in my opinion, and you gotta have
Speaker 1: that at least back then you did. Now not the same.
Speaker 1: But you know, these teams that are built for we're
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup for you. Mismatch, and that's why
Speaker 1: I like what I see with the Titans. Sunday night,
Speaker 1: it'll be the Steelers and t J. Watt going to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles against Justin Herbert and the Chargers at Sunday
Speaker 1: at seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock. It's about time
Speaker 1: the Chargers start acting like a playoff team because these games.
Speaker 1: You can't be losing these games at home and they
Speaker 1: look average right now. Yeah, mclovin, I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: Ben better be off the COVID list because if I
Speaker 1: have to watch Mason Rudolf a standalone game again, oh,
Speaker 1: that's not fair. Like Mason Rudolph is not the future.
Speaker 1: No offense, no, no offense ends, He's just not the future.
Speaker 1: That's where if you're a Steeler fan, you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: Ben's not the future. Mason Rudolph's not the future. Um,
Speaker 1: who is the future here? Dwayne Haskins. Maybe Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be a starter. I feel
Speaker 1: like someplace next year, not San Francisco. Do we want
Speaker 1: to play the Jimmy Garoppolo game where Jimmy is going
Speaker 1: to be next year? Early? Yeah? Hm, Well, lay, let's
Speaker 1: be ahead of everybody here. We'll go around the room
Speaker 1: where we think Jimmy Garoppolo will be next year. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start with Todd Fritz Miami Oder. Okay, that's a
Speaker 1: good guess. It's a lot of qub stuff throwing around. Man,
Speaker 1: there's the showing thing. Doesn't look like it's happening there
Speaker 1: into two, it's time too, all right, splash, all right,
Speaker 1: um seaton O'Connor, Jimmy Garoppolo will be where next year?
Speaker 1: You're Houston Texans? Oh? Okay, two spicy choices so far.
Speaker 1: Mick eleven so I see him as a bridge quarterback,
Speaker 1: so he will replace Teddy Bridge Bridgewater in Denver? Okay,
Speaker 1: poly where where do you see Jimmy Grove based off
Speaker 1: almost no reasoning? The Carolina Panthers based off almost nothing. Well,
Speaker 1: I think everything that we're basing this off of is
Speaker 1: based off nothing, not less than mine. Oh, where is
Speaker 1: Jimmy g next year? Yes? How about Washington football team?
Speaker 1: They gotta play somebody? Yeah there, Yes, technically you're supposed
Speaker 1: to play a quarterback. You don't have to. Could have
Speaker 1: Ronnie Brown and it could be the Wildcat. Um, how
Speaker 1: about this Jimmy Garoppolo is in San Francisco next year.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Here is Kyle Shanahan,
Speaker 1: the Niners head coach, after the win last night. Last night.
Speaker 1: I think we've taken a lot of this year personally,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to say taking us something personally as
Speaker 1: well leads to that. But we were very embarrassed about
Speaker 1: last week in every aspect, and you know, I wish
Speaker 1: we have been a few things this year. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's what leads to that, but we definitely
Speaker 1: played our best game. I'm all around, okay. The question
Speaker 1: was did you take this game personally? I hope you
Speaker 1: take every game personally, Like what you're gonna You're gonna
Speaker 1: coach harder here because why the Rams are getting all
Speaker 1: this love, you guys are struggling. I'm not sure I
Speaker 1: understand the context of do you take this personally? You
Speaker 1: guys have owned the Rams. He won five in a
Speaker 1: row against the Rams. Yes, boy, Dan, I forgot to
Speaker 1: mention this, but Sean mcfey, the coach of the Rams,
Speaker 1: did not pull up. You could put this one on me.
Speaker 1: It's all me, Blame me. He actually went against the
Speaker 1: grain and blame the players. Oh well. He had this
Speaker 1: to say after the game. Robert's a very important player.
Speaker 1: You know, you never replace him. It certainly didn't help
Speaker 1: not to have him, But I don't want to use
Speaker 1: that as an excuse. We didn't play well enough, We
Speaker 1: didn't make enough plays. Our best players didn't play up
Speaker 1: to their standards. All right, we are best players, okay,
Speaker 1: because what I drew up was actually flawless. It was
Speaker 1: it was just perfect. He told him, you really comes
Speaker 1: down to it. Yeah, he told him to catch it.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell him to drop the ball. I'm sure
Speaker 1: in practice he never told me. He didn't tell Matt
Speaker 1: Stafford to throw it to the Niners. That's on Matt,
Speaker 1: that's not on Sean McVeigh. Odell Beckham Junior the Third
Speaker 1: had this to say after his RAMS debut. These moments
Speaker 1: don't divide you, and you know they bring you stronger
Speaker 1: and closer together. And I'm happy to be here. You know,
Speaker 1: just over the babe, you'd be able to get in
Speaker 1: the playbook and really try and learn every single thing
Speaker 1: possible and always quick. But I'm ready, I'm excited. I'm
Speaker 1: just happy to be here. Yeah, all right, I don't
Speaker 1: expect anything out of him, and if he does give
Speaker 1: you something, great, He's not Robert Woods. Robert Woods is
Speaker 1: far more valuable I think to the Rams than Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior is going to be. But von Miller, to me,
Speaker 1: is the one who could be a difference maker because
Speaker 1: I expect more out of von Miller if when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything last night, but that can make
Speaker 1: that defense even more formidable. But Odell Beckham, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean, people forget the number of injuries he's had
Speaker 1: the last two years. That's tough for any player. But
Speaker 1: do I expect him to come in and light things up? No?
Speaker 1: Do I think he'll have pockets? Yes, I hope that
Speaker 1: he's not blamed for his lack of production second half
Speaker 1: of the season. And plus, you know what's crazy when
Speaker 1: you hear the backstory of Odell Beckham because he wanted
Speaker 1: to go to Green Bay, then he wanted to go
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, the Rams Saints, and this is all happening.
Speaker 1: It felt like eleventh hour. Now I'm getting this through
Speaker 1: somebody who his team was involved in this and said,
Speaker 1: you know, we thought we were getting him and then
Speaker 1: we didn't know and then we were told another team,
Speaker 1: and then it was another team, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, wait, the Rams. And I think
Speaker 1: that that was what was interesting here. Is he all
Speaker 1: in on the Rams? Did he take the Rams because
Speaker 1: it's La Did he take it because more of the
Speaker 1: business opportunities. He has a house there in the Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 1: Did he want to go and spend the second half
Speaker 1: of the season in Green Bay? Did he want to
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City? Did he want to go to
Speaker 1: New Orleans? The importance of the players who were pursuing
Speaker 1: him on the Rams. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: a slam dunk that he just said, that's where I
Speaker 1: want to go. Now. I know he's been infatuation with
Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's offense for a while, not just this year,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just I wondered that about did he
Speaker 1: really want to go to the Rams? Did it make
Speaker 1: the most sense for him? Did it make the most
Speaker 1: sense football wise? Or was this more of business wise
Speaker 1: that incorporates, you know, the football angle as well. Yeah, mcclub.
Speaker 1: Is it it funny that Robert Woods got hurt the
Speaker 1: next day? The Rams would have been much more desperate
Speaker 1: for and probably paid him more. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: never could have seen that. I don't think there was
Speaker 1: any hint of Robert woods bere Noah's synder Guard is
Speaker 1: now a Los Angeles Angel. He signed a one year
Speaker 1: deal twenty one million dollars. He last pitched in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: He had Tommy John surgery. He's twenty nine years of age.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's about it. Is there more to
Speaker 1: the story. The biggest part of this story is really
Speaker 1: us related. Noah synder Guard on social media follows our
Speaker 1: show and yeah, and he sends nice notes all the time.
Speaker 1: Now being on the West Coast, you could listen to
Speaker 1: us driving into work, Okay, all right, morning drive numbers
Speaker 1: are I like that? Yeah? I like that? And you
Speaker 1: got to own the quarter hour? Yeah right Seaton, Ye, yes,
Speaker 1: Hunt is it Halo? And goodbye to his relevancy and
Speaker 1: now that he's an angel, got the angels the Halos.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not as good as that was a
Speaker 1: crotch with the catch, No the defensive back. That's kind
Speaker 1: that was kind of a standalone with his undercarriage last night. Oh,
Speaker 1: we could ever hear from him ever again, other than
Speaker 1: him sending notes to the show as far as I
Speaker 1: he's okay. I mean he was in our March Madness
Speaker 1: bracket challenge. Like I it's okay. I'm glad that he
Speaker 1: loves the show when he sends notes all the time. Yes,
Speaker 1: Paul new Pole. Question, which second best team in a
Speaker 1: major market would you most want to play for? Mets, Angels,
Speaker 1: white Socks, white tucks are better, but they're from a
Speaker 1: fan interest. Okay, but do you put Florida in there?
Speaker 1: You put Miami and Tampa? Do you put the Miami
Speaker 1: Marlins in there? Is a second I'm capping it at Angels,
Speaker 1: Mets within the city limits. Okay, yes, our Clippers not
Speaker 1: even they don't even make that poll. Is at the
Speaker 1: different sport. Yeah, but yeah, I see what you're saying though,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, just baseball. It's a good lay. All the
Speaker 1: Clippers are in the shadows. Well, let's why don't we
Speaker 1: expand this to all teams? The secondary team in a marketing,
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets secondary to the Giants. Yeah right, yeah, yeah, Chargers, Rams,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah. The Jets are no, no that they're
Speaker 1: not even close to the Giants. Like you, people have
Speaker 1: waited decades to try to get Giant season tickets. Nobody's
Speaker 1: doing that. I don't think with the Jets. Are the
Speaker 1: Nets still the secondary team in New York? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think there's a buzz. You know,
Speaker 1: when the Knicks do well, it takes over the city.
Speaker 1: The Nets. Nobody cares even for one game. Yes, they
Speaker 1: beat the Hawks one game at the playoffs, we're back.
Speaker 1: Maybe they storm the streets like you have grown men
Speaker 1: taking their shirts off, Like that's how do you celebrate
Speaker 1: a Knicks playoff win. Let's get naked. We're tied one
Speaker 1: one of the first round series against the Hawks. Who yes,
Speaker 1: and just screaming about Trey Young's receding hairline. Go yeah,
Speaker 1: and their playoff hopes were receding after that too. Let's
Speaker 1: take a break. More phone calls coming up back after this.
Speaker 1: On The Dan Patrick Show, Discover matches all the cash
Speaker 1: back you earn your credit card at the end of

Speaker 1: phone calls coming up. If you miss Dwyane Wade last hour,
Speaker 1: go to Dan Patrick dot com. I love this story
Speaker 1: about Kobe. Kobe was guarding him and he started just
Speaker 1: whistling as if you know, you're really not in my
Speaker 1: stratosphere here, like they're on the court, and he's just
Speaker 1: sort of going load. Dwayne's like, man, he doesn't respect
Speaker 1: me at all. Go to Dan Patrick dot com. You
Speaker 1: can hear that entire interview. He's Dan Shaughnessy the Boston
Speaker 1: Globe and he has a new book. It's called a
Speaker 1: wish it lasted forever. Life with Larry Birds Celtics now
Speaker 1: available online wherever books are sold. Really disappointed in you,
Speaker 1: Dan with this book because I wish it could have
Speaker 1: lasted forever. It's a shorter book. Like I breezed through it.
Speaker 1: There were so many great stories and I kind of
Speaker 1: went to the end. I go, damn, you know I
Speaker 1: needed more out of you, Dan. You let me down. Well,
Speaker 1: that's really nice of you, Dana. Thanks for going through it.
Speaker 1: And Bill Walton of course named it. And Bill really
Speaker 1: wishes it lasted forever because we know his career could
Speaker 1: have been so much more, but he had this one
Speaker 1: gift at the end of his career, the nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: five eighty six season where Bill Walton comes to Boston.
Speaker 1: He got eighty games in that was it. He played
Speaker 1: ten games next year and then he retired, you know,
Speaker 1: his feet, fews and all that stuff. But Bill said,
Speaker 1: he said, you know, Amby, that's resource when you write this.
Speaker 1: Danny said, this is like, I wish this could have
Speaker 1: lasted forever. Everything was great. You cannot overstate how great
Speaker 1: this was. Hey, this will hop back on the way
Speaker 1: back machine. It's you know, you watch the NBA today
Speaker 1: and I sometimes long for the eighties. I was there
Speaker 1: when Larry and Magic came in and seventy nine kind
Speaker 1: of rescued the league. And then of course Michael comes
Speaker 1: in a eighty four and leading up the Dream Team.
Speaker 1: But this was this, This jumped out of me. Dan.
Speaker 1: During the pandemic, you know, when we're seeing the ESPN
Speaker 1: Classics and thirty thirty on Celtics Lakers, and and here
Speaker 1: in Boston with no games going on, they're running the
Speaker 1: eighties Classic Celtics and it's all we had. And I
Speaker 1: keep seeing my thirty year old self sitting at the
Speaker 1: table back in the day when they allowed the lowly
Speaker 1: media to sit in those seats at the nail sell
Speaker 1: for five thousand dollars. So we were there and we
Speaker 1: had access that is never going to be replicated. We
Speaker 1: were able to tell the readers and the fans what
Speaker 1: these guys were like. It was a very fascinating, magnetic team, talented, Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ,
Speaker 1: you know, five Hall of Famers, they went to the
Speaker 1: finals four straight years. They were fun and we lived
Speaker 1: with them, I mean, Dan, you know, hotels, buses, airports,
Speaker 1: waiting for bags, flying commercial This was when the reporters
Speaker 1: went to the COVID bubble in twenty twenty, they had
Speaker 1: to sign a waiver saying they would not approach anyone
Speaker 1: if they saw him away from the facility. That's what
Speaker 1: we did all of our best work. I mean, the
Speaker 1: moat has gotten so wide here in Boston. We don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Smart and Tatum and Brown
Speaker 1: because nobody can get near them. In those days, we
Speaker 1: could tell you they're mad at Fitch. They don't like
Speaker 1: what the coach is doing right now. They need to
Speaker 1: change their Casey Jones bring them on that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It's nobody's fault. It's evolution the way things have gone.
Speaker 1: But that was kind of what motivated the book. And
Speaker 1: thank you for perusing through it and getting some of
Speaker 1: those fun stories back in your head. Was it a
Speaker 1: thirty for thirty or a last dance? Could you see
Speaker 1: that possibility? I mean, it's a shorter timeframe with these
Speaker 1: guys and not as successful. But I was wondering if
Speaker 1: there's enough. It feels like, but the stories you tell
Speaker 1: and there's a little more drama, you know, woven in there.
Speaker 1: But do you think there's a last dance Field to
Speaker 1: the Celtics of the eighties. I always do. I mean again,
Speaker 1: the personalities were so strong. One thing, because I went
Speaker 1: from that Celtic team, Yeah, they were and one at
Speaker 1: home Dan the last year fifty and one at home.
Speaker 1: And I went to Major League Baseball to the Red
Speaker 1: Sox clubhouse the same year as a BT reporter, and
Speaker 1: it just struck me how different it was the climate
Speaker 1: in there. And I got bruce Hurst in the book
Speaker 1: to talk about that, because you know, he almost won
Speaker 1: the seventh game of the World Series with those eighty
Speaker 1: six Socks and they were a sour bunch. And he said,
Speaker 1: in general, baseball was a sour bunch. Because bruce Hurst
Speaker 1: knew the Celtics because he was friends with Danny Ames.
Speaker 1: They had played Major League Baseball together and against each other.
Speaker 1: He would come to practice. He knew McHale, he knew Bird,
Speaker 1: he knew Parish and he said, he said, in our clubhouse,
Speaker 1: you know, we harbor personal feelings and the insecurities, and
Speaker 1: we compete against each other to get to the big leagues.
Speaker 1: It's kind of ingrained in the culture. He says. Those Celtics,
Speaker 1: they were so secure in their own greatness. There was
Speaker 1: none of this who's getting more touches. They had fun,
Speaker 1: They had fun at practice, competing against each other. They
Speaker 1: knew how great they were, and this all comes out,
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of trash talk and you were
Speaker 1: talking about with guys whistling and I mean that's Bird
Speaker 1: walking into the three point contest, the first one ever
Speaker 1: and saying, which one of you guys are going to
Speaker 1: finish second? I mean that's Bird telling the New York
Speaker 1: Knicks trainer he's banking three pointers during journal warmouth before
Speaker 1: a Knicks game, and the trainer said, of Saunders, he said,
Speaker 1: you can't do that in a game. Larry said, if
Speaker 1: you give me five bucks, I will, and then he
Speaker 1: banked one in at the end of a game and
Speaker 1: ran down by the bench with his palm out looking
Speaker 1: for his five bucks. I mean, he was pool hustling
Speaker 1: during the games. The story about Xavier McDaniel, is that
Speaker 1: true where Larry after a timeout tells x what he's
Speaker 1: gonna do. Yeah, Jackie McMullin tells that one really well,
Speaker 1: which is you know, I'm gonna do this, We're gonna
Speaker 1: do this, we wanna do this, And he would do
Speaker 1: all those things I was. There was a game in Portland.
Speaker 1: He was doing that. It was near the end, and
Speaker 1: he said, you better get somebody over here. They were
Speaker 1: getting ready to inbound. They weren't listening. He pointed, and
Speaker 1: then he took the ball. He drained a three, and
Speaker 1: then he pointed again. Coming up, he said, I told
Speaker 1: you what you should have done. That was just you know,
Speaker 1: Quinn Buckler told me that he could. There was a
Speaker 1: game called knockout, you know, just guys shooting around at
Speaker 1: a gym, and Quinn said he could. He could knock
Speaker 1: your ball away from the basket and make his shot
Speaker 1: with the same ball. He was playing basketball and pool
Speaker 1: at the same time. What if social media was around,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it changes a lot, and again not
Speaker 1: in a good way in my view. I mean, there
Speaker 1: was a level of comfort with those guys. I didn't
Speaker 1: make plans let's go to dinner, let's go have drinks,
Speaker 1: but you would bump into each other and it was okay.
Speaker 1: So in fact, one night Larry picked up the tab
Speaker 1: but it was like a total eclipse of the sun.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. But most of the time it
Speaker 1: was just casual, and I think that that casualness is
Speaker 1: lost with social media and they don't need us anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're totally nobody wants to talk to us anymore.
Speaker 1: I understand that they got, you know, social media, they
Speaker 1: got TikTok, they got whatever they got, and you know connect,
Speaker 1: they got the players journal connect with their own fans.
Speaker 1: And we're just now we're old guys. But back then
Speaker 1: we were all the same age and the money wasn't
Speaker 1: as great. We lived together, the moat wasn't there, and
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of trust. But still there
Speaker 1: were times I had to violate that trust when Larry
Speaker 1: got in his barroom fight messed up his hand for
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and he wasn't too happy about that. That's
Speaker 1: just a job. But that's the tricky part that I've
Speaker 1: mentioned on the show. I got too close to Mark McGuire,
Speaker 1: I got too close to Jason Jones. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: still have to cover them, and I just I made
Speaker 1: it a point that I was never going to allow
Speaker 1: myself to get that close. Was there any part of
Speaker 1: you at that time that you want to be close
Speaker 1: to him? Gives you access? But can you report on
Speaker 1: everything you're supposed to report on? You can't do both.
Speaker 1: And again, you don't need to be talking about how
Speaker 1: many beers somebody had the night before the game unless
Speaker 1: there are no condition to play, in which case we
Speaker 1: would talk about a Michaale had a pack of guys
Speaker 1: who would drive down from the Iron Range. There was
Speaker 1: no team in Minneapolis, but there was a team in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: This Winnebega would park outside the Hyatt and when the
Speaker 1: Sellers were going to play the Bucks, John Nelson wanted
Speaker 1: to hire a suite for these guys because they would
Speaker 1: take McHale and Byrne and Buckder and those guys out.
Speaker 1: There was a game where the Bucks. There was a
Speaker 1: noontime start about that in Milwaukee, and the night before,
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night, the Minnesota crew from from down
Speaker 1: from the Iron Range got all the Celtics wasted and
Speaker 1: they got beat. They got beat badly, and McHale shot
Speaker 1: at donut. He was over eight or something, and Casey
Speaker 1: Jones knew enough not to Yeah, everybody knew what had happened.
Speaker 1: Casey put his arm around Kevin and said, those guys
Speaker 1: aren't coming to Chicago area. We can't have this happen.
Speaker 1: When I talked to Michale about it. He said, just
Speaker 1: hearing those names, my liver starts just hearing those names.
Speaker 1: And my friends who'd come down there, well, didn't the
Speaker 1: Bulls cheerleaders by Bird and you know, Robie and those
Speaker 1: guys beers one night before a playoff game and the
Speaker 1: Celtics want and Larry walked off the floor and said,
Speaker 1: thanks for the beers with the I cannot attest to
Speaker 1: that one. And Robi was Robie was traded for Dennis Johnson,
Speaker 1: by the way, which was he got a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame guard for Rick Roby, who played about ten games
Speaker 1: after that. But he was traded in part because he
Speaker 1: was Larry's running mate at night. And I was it
Speaker 1: was a dual purpose trade to get Dennis Johnson and
Speaker 1: to get Roby the hell away from Larry Bird. And
Speaker 1: it worked on both levels magically for everybody. Weren't they
Speaker 1: Were they the Bruise brothers or oh what is it?
Speaker 1: Buckner and Roby and Bird and I thought they had
Speaker 1: a nickname for their crew. There were a lot of nicknames.
Speaker 1: I don't know that one, but they they socialized and
Speaker 1: it was you know, they had all been great college
Speaker 1: players at the same time Larry as I was jealous
Speaker 1: of Robe because Larry wanted to go to Kentucky when
Speaker 1: he's in high school and Joeby Hall didn't think he'd
Speaker 1: get a shot off in the SEC. Said they get
Speaker 1: Rick Roby, who was even slower. They won a championship
Speaker 1: with him and Larry. Anytime would be out. You know,
Speaker 1: when somebody come over from University of Kentucky and shake
Speaker 1: Rick Robi's hand, Larry say, that's the first time Rick
Speaker 1: Robe ever shook hands. Didn't have a twenty dollars bill.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, we're talking to Dan Shaughnessy. The
Speaker 1: book is wish it lasted forever life with the Larry
Speaker 1: Bird Celtics. That'll be your reaction after you read it.
Speaker 1: You'll wish that it lasted longer. Available online wherever books
Speaker 1: are sold. I didn't understand, or I wasn't aware of
Speaker 1: the kind of the undercurrent there with Cornbread Maxwell and
Speaker 1: him and Kevin McHale that Kevin takes his role and
Speaker 1: you know Cornbread Maxwell, you know, almost to the detriment
Speaker 1: of the team. Uh, you know, just wasn't the same
Speaker 1: player or didn't care as much as he did when
Speaker 1: he was starting the Curvan Max, I mean he was
Speaker 1: He was the man when the Celtics were bad, before
Speaker 1: Bird and McHale and Parris all those guys got there.
Speaker 1: You know, when Havlichek was finishing up and they got
Speaker 1: bad in the late seventies, Max was the guy. You know,
Speaker 1: he had been a Final four player in North Carolina, Charlotte.
Speaker 1: He comes to Boston, he's the man. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: these guys start coming in and his touches went down
Speaker 1: and he his shots went down. Every year he was
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I mean every year Bird comes in,
Speaker 1: then McHale comes in, Maxwell, Bill Fitch takes him aside, says,
Speaker 1: who do you think it is going to be guarding
Speaker 1: the scoring four the other team, Now that's going to
Speaker 1: be youth Cedric you know, no longer the offensive force.
Speaker 1: And he got his job done incredibly. He was much
Speaker 1: He's the MVP of the Finals at eighty one, before
Speaker 1: you know when Birds his second year in the league
Speaker 1: and the MVP is Maxwell. And then at eighty four,
Speaker 1: Maxwell scored twenty four points in Game seven against the Lakers.
Speaker 1: It was his high game of the season was Game
Speaker 1: seven of the finals. He never got twenty four all year,
Speaker 1: but that game he said, hopping my back, boys will
Speaker 1: bring it on home. He outplayed James Worthy, he got
Speaker 1: inside their heads. He was the guy. Unfortunately he heard
Speaker 1: his knee after that, and that's where the transition comes
Speaker 1: in where he can't play anymore. McHale goes from six
Speaker 1: man it starts playing. Mcale gets fifty six and one
Speaker 1: game against the Pistons, and Max goes, I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm going to be starting anymore. And that was in
Speaker 1: and you know, it was questions about how hard he rehabbed.
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of hard feelings about that,
Speaker 1: but I mean, hey, Maxwell, his numbers up in the
Speaker 1: raptors and he's one of he's one of the great
Speaker 1: voices in this book because he just tells you the
Speaker 1: truth about everything. It bird had stayed healthy, well, I
Speaker 1: think you get a few more years. But he played hard.
Speaker 1: And guys who played like that the careers, I mean,
Speaker 1: we see in baseball all the time, but it's just
Speaker 1: it's hard to have a longer you're diving on the floor.
Speaker 1: McCall didn't dive on the floor, but mchaal played with
Speaker 1: a broken foot in the eighty seven finals. So those injuries. Really,
Speaker 1: by today's standards, they were together a long long time.
Speaker 1: They went to four consecutive finals together, they were in
Speaker 1: five finals, they won three championships, and Read always thought
Speaker 1: he might have kept him together a little bit too
Speaker 1: long and ran through it longer than he should have
Speaker 1: instead of making deals. So they by today's standards, it's
Speaker 1: still a long run. You know, Larry's from seventy nine
Speaker 1: to ninety two, that's still a pretty good run. But
Speaker 1: again it's not Lebron James doing what he does now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, and then you had Lenny Byes dying,
Speaker 1: Reggie Lewis like they Read had it, so the transition
Speaker 1: was going to be pretty smooth where the whole, you know,
Speaker 1: the youth movement coming in was going to be able
Speaker 1: to handle any athletes they were going to face with
Speaker 1: the Lakers or Pistons or Bulls. Yeah. Red knew his
Speaker 1: team was getting old when they won the championship in
Speaker 1: eighty six and they went fifty and one at home.
Speaker 1: No one's going to do that again. So he ends
Speaker 1: up getting the best player in the country because he
Speaker 1: had traded Gerald Henderson a starting guard two years earlier,
Speaker 1: thinking Seattle was going to go bad. The lottery came in,
Speaker 1: they got number two, They got Len Bias was all
Speaker 1: teed up. Lenn Bias Read used to have counselors at
Speaker 1: his summer camp. Bias had been a counselor for a
Speaker 1: couple of years, so they knew exactly what they were
Speaker 1: getting because Bias had basically been working out for him
Speaker 1: for two summers. And you know, Rick Carlisle had played
Speaker 1: with him in the ACC. Everybody knew what they were
Speaker 1: getting with that guy. And then you know, he drops
Speaker 1: dead a day after the draft, cocaine intoxication, and the
Speaker 1: Celtics never recovered from that. They didn't win again till
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight when Danny Angel was the GM.
Speaker 1: So it broke, It broke down. Michael had to play
Speaker 1: with a broken foot too many minutes for Parish Bird
Speaker 1: Walton's all done that. It just it started to crumble
Speaker 1: the late eighties. When I was working at CNN in
Speaker 1: New York in the mid eighties, and I would get
Speaker 1: to come up for the NBA Finals and I'd get
Speaker 1: there and if it was that Sunday and the game
Speaker 1: was played later on, and I'd go in there. When
Speaker 1: Larry was shooting. I'd just sneak into the building and
Speaker 1: I would It was cathartic. I loved hearing the dribble
Speaker 1: and I loved hearing the net. And he never knew
Speaker 1: I was in there, but I went in there a
Speaker 1: couple of times and I was worried that he was
Speaker 1: going to see me. And then you know, he would
Speaker 1: stop or whatever it might be. But no one's in there,
Speaker 1: just somebody rebounding for him. And he'd just dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble,
Speaker 1: and it was just it was wonderful, It really was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a routine at the garden a Route four
Speaker 1: fourth dred in the afternoon. I was an early guy.
Speaker 1: I'd set up early. The garden would be dark, be
Speaker 1: a little bit of light by that court. The equipment
Speaker 1: guy was Joe Katado. Larry come out. He brought him
Speaker 1: Indiana when he went there and loved this guy, the
Speaker 1: equipment guy, and uh, Larry do the perimeter. And I'd
Speaker 1: be setting up in my stone Age computer porter bubble
Speaker 1: on the sideline right next to the bench, when they says,
Speaker 1: let us sit in those seats. The lowly riders had
Speaker 1: those seats next to the bench and Larry, you know,
Speaker 1: he'd liked to break chops. He'd come over and if
Speaker 1: he missed a shot during that thing, he'd say that
Speaker 1: the bull gang set up the rims. Something wrong with
Speaker 1: the rim you know. Otherwise that never that would have
Speaker 1: gone in and he'd come over and he'd say, what
Speaker 1: are you working on, Scoop, And I'd say, well, I'm
Speaker 1: doing an early edition newspaper story about your free throw streak.
Speaker 1: He was coming up on Calvin Murphy's eighty eight consecutive
Speaker 1: free throws. I'm like, so, don't miss one of the
Speaker 1: first half, because this paper is going to go up
Speaker 1: to Maine. It's gonna look stupid if they open it
Speaker 1: up tomorrow morning and you miss when I'm writing about
Speaker 1: the streak. This is how it works. Sure enough, first half,
Speaker 1: he goes to the line for two and the file
Speaker 1: line is lined up right where we're sitting. If he
Speaker 1: looks over, he makes the first one, He looks over
Speaker 1: and winks at me between free throws, and then of
Speaker 1: course makes a second one. So all was good. But
Speaker 1: he was always thinking about these things. It's like paying
Speaker 1: up a bet in the middle of the game. He
Speaker 1: was doing two things at once I sat down with
Speaker 1: him when his career was over, and I went up
Speaker 1: to Boston and Brad Lohas said, hey, if you want
Speaker 1: to get on Larry's good side, bring him up a
Speaker 1: cooler and a six pack of beer. And so I
Speaker 1: stopped and got a cooler that was like three dollars
Speaker 1: and I got a six pound and I said here,
Speaker 1: and he goes, what is it a fish? And I go, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's beer. I said. Brad Lohaus told me
Speaker 1: to get this for you. It goes, Can I can
Speaker 1: I keep the cooler? And I said, yes, you can.
Speaker 1: It was a three dollars cool styrofoam cooler and I go.
Speaker 1: I don't think it helped me with the interview, but
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, that was the mentality of
Speaker 1: bird there. It's like, all right, beer cooler, can I
Speaker 1: have it? This is all right, I'm good with this.
Speaker 1: That was a mentality. He used to go to Mattenees
Speaker 1: after practice that the Greek Orthodox college they practice in
Speaker 1: Brookline would say, all right, how can you go to Mattenees.
Speaker 1: He says, it's cheaper, cheaper than the afternoon So yeah,
Speaker 1: you met it. By the way, how strong is the
Speaker 1: mac Jones love in New England. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: are all over. I mean I loved it from the start.
Speaker 1: They couldn't have known, you know, he would outperform all
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks to this stage. He was nineteen to
Speaker 1: twenty three the other day. That won four in a row.
Speaker 1: They got the Titans game, They got the Atlanta this Thursday,
Speaker 1: and then the Titans are coming in here that that game.
Speaker 1: If that's going to get flex to the prime time
Speaker 1: or not, but that's a bit's a big deal. Now.
Speaker 1: This feels really good Dan, because it's it's different and
Speaker 1: it wasn't expected. It's it's a head of schedule and
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. We all know Bill hates him and he's
Speaker 1: made a beast off and over the last twenty years.
Speaker 1: So he's got one of his own now and they're
Speaker 1: managing it. It's really fascinating to watch it. It's evolved.
Speaker 1: Congrats on the book and I meant what I said,
Speaker 1: I wish the book was longer. It was that good
Speaker 1: telling stories and uh, you know, taking a trip down
Speaker 1: memory lane. Thank you Dan, Thank you Dan, take care
Speaker 1: of Dan Shaughnessy. The book is I wish it Lasted
Speaker 1: Forever Life with the Larry Bird Celtics, available online wherever
Speaker 1: books are sold. Yeah, it's one of those it's just
Speaker 1: you breathe through it. You'll read it in an afternoon.
Speaker 1: Like it's two hundred and fifty pages. Maybe a little
Speaker 1: less than that, but if you love that time, the
Speaker 1: NBA at that point and Bird the Celtics, and you know,
Speaker 1: Shaughnessy has so much detail there that you know they're
Speaker 1: you know, taking notes and so many stories and he
Speaker 1: just really fit, you know, he puts you in the
Speaker 1: moment there. So it's really really well done. A lot

Speaker 1: Jim Brown and the Browns set the NFL rushing record
Speaker 1: of eleven hundred and sixty three yards. He did it
Speaker 1: in eight games that didn't even need the whole season
Speaker 1: to do it. Bill Russell, the Boston Celtics had thirty
Speaker 1: two rebounds in a game the first half of a game.
Speaker 1: That's the all time record. He ended up with forty nine. YEP.
Speaker 1: President Nixon in nineteen sixty nine became the first president

Speaker 1: year old Lionel messi Oh makes his official debut for
Speaker 1: FC Barcelhona. He's the best, He's the goat, Oh mess Uh.
Speaker 1: You know we were talking about Larry Bird, and you
Speaker 1: know Bird would go out and have beers, and the
Speaker 1: fact that they traded Rick Roby just to get rid
Speaker 1: of one of Bird's drinking partners. You don't hear of
Speaker 1: athletes partying like that now like big time athletes where
Speaker 1: it was almost part of you know, the folklore, the
Speaker 1: aura of somebody that you know they went out in party.
Speaker 1: Remember when Gronk we were all worried about Gronk being
Speaker 1: a partier, and you know he would take his shirt
Speaker 1: off and dance and do keg stands and like that's
Speaker 1: not a big deal. You know, Brady has one one
Speaker 1: day out of the year when he wins the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl where it seems like he gets liquored up. Is
Speaker 1: there a big time athlete that lets it be known
Speaker 1: that he was a partier, like Johnny Manziel might be
Speaker 1: the last of that group because these guys now were
Speaker 1: probably doing edibles. You know, nobody's going out doing heavy
Speaker 1: drinking health conscious. Yes, doesn't Lebron have like an NBA
Speaker 1: wine club or something where they all just like have
Speaker 1: fine vintages. That's not partying. I mean, well, I mean
Speaker 1: it's not like like Larry Bird with a six pack.
Speaker 1: It's a yes, guys wine night. Yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 1: like a book club. I don't know if it's a
Speaker 1: big party, but who went to the strip clubs and
Speaker 1: loves the wings? There and can't get enough of those?
Speaker 1: What does James Harden? Yeah? Yeah, the fact that they
Speaker 1: put Harden's jersey up in the strip Clubs Williams just
Speaker 1: a who was it that just got the whole Magic
Speaker 1: City thing? Was that? James Harden and Lou Williams and Williams? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: well he likes wings. Yes, Dak Prescott's the Cowboys quarterback.
Speaker 1: This is not the nineties Cowboys number. His big sponsorship
Speaker 1: is sleep number. His his goal is to get a
Speaker 1: great night's sleep as a Cowboys quarterback. Yeah, but gngragine
Speaker 1: Michael everyman saying, hey man, I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: a good nine hours sleep. Well, if if Michael Irvan
Speaker 1: was doing sleep number, it might be a different you
Speaker 1: can fit a hop Yeah, the sleep number that he
Speaker 1: would have in there, it's like seven so far mins twelve.
Speaker 1: What's your sleep number? Seven? Seven people? Huh get a
Speaker 1: good night's sleep? Hi, I'm Michael Irvan for same number.
Speaker 1: You know what people you can fit here? They said,
Speaker 1: what's your sleep number? I said seven? I can get
Speaker 1: seven people in this bed. Mike doesn't do that anymore. Mike,
Speaker 1: Yes he was, But I still love that story. When
Speaker 1: Dion goes to the hotel and and and he just
Speaker 1: joined the team, and Mike threw a party for Dion
Speaker 1: opens the door and he sees Mike and there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of women there, and Dion goes, I don't live
Speaker 1: like this. I gotta roll. I don't live like this.
Speaker 1: And Mike tells the story. You know, Mike laughs at it.
Speaker 1: But you know, and Troy wasn't a party or it
Speaker 1: was just there were there were a few players on
Speaker 1: the Cowboy roster that and then you go back to
Speaker 1: a previous generation with the Cowboys. Uh, you know when
Speaker 1: Don Meredith, Pete Gent, you know, they they had some
Speaker 1: fun there. Kenny Stabler when he was with the Raiders
Speaker 1: and then later with the Saints. Yeah, Ken Stable played
Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Raiders said the old Raiders gone'd
Speaker 1: be dead by halftime. Yeah. Well, any of those Oakland
Speaker 1: Raider players that if they were playing for the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders back then. Uh. Let's see, so you gave
Speaker 1: the final results of the poll question, would you want
Speaker 1: to start a team with Katie or Curry? Fifty seven percent?
