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 Instan Patrick Show stumbled upon this story buster Onney
Speaker 1: reporting on it that there's a new technology coming to
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball starting as early as Thursday, Baseball allowing
Speaker 1: pitchers and catchers to use anti sign stealing technology during
Speaker 1: the regular season, and the players will This is called
Speaker 1: PitchCom and there's a pad with buttons on the wrist
Speaker 1: of the glove hand. Catcher can then signal pitches, pitch
Speaker 1: type and location directly to the pitcher through a listening device,
Speaker 1: the listening devices in the helmet or hat, and then
Speaker 1: that will be relayed almost like an Alexa to the pitcher,
Speaker 1: so it'll be her ball we went away, and then
Speaker 1: he'll be able to hear it. And I guess up
Speaker 1: to two or three other players can hear this in
Speaker 1: the infield or outfield to be able to position themselves.
Speaker 1: What could go wrong. We'll get to phone calls coming
Speaker 1: up Final Hour and Reggie Miller, the return of Reggie
Speaker 1: Aloisius will join us coming up in about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: from now. Poll question for the Final Hour Seaton is well,
Speaker 1: Dan I think with the pitch coom pitch tech conversation,
Speaker 1: maybe we pivot to that it's a pitch com is
Speaker 1: an overreaction to sign stealing, smart and invention to keep
Speaker 1: things fair. We'll lead to a new type of cheating.
Speaker 1: We got also say PitchCom is a great idea, terrible idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I players are always going to cheat. It's like you
Speaker 1: can have more, you know, stricter rules regulations about using
Speaker 1: performance enhancing drugs. They'll find something else. They're going to
Speaker 1: find another way to try to get an advantage. That's
Speaker 1: just that's nature. That's how we're wired. Where you're trying
Speaker 1: to find an advantage. Sometimes it's legal, sometimes it's not. Yeah, poll,
Speaker 1: Now this appears to be over compensation because remember when
Speaker 1: we talked about this when the sign stealing stuff was big.
Speaker 1: You three played baseball. If you're at second base and
Speaker 1: you could somehow read the catcher and physically sign that
Speaker 1: to your hitter, do you guys consider that illegal sign stealing? No,
Speaker 1: so that's now off the board. It's been done for
Speaker 1: over a one hundred years in baseball, and that now
Speaker 1: is off the board. No, it's up to you, right.
Speaker 1: It's like if you go out to the mountain. You go.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you got to be throwing that fastball here.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go fastball. It's on you if you
Speaker 1: raise your voice now, if you go, you' gotta do
Speaker 1: that fastball right, Okay, Now, you're taking care of your
Speaker 1: side of this if you leave the door open for
Speaker 1: me to look into where your catch. I always wanted
Speaker 1: to know location. I didn't I, you know, because the
Speaker 1: signs can screw you know, that can screw up your
Speaker 1: teammate when you're going, you know, fastball, like you put
Speaker 1: your right hand on your right leg, or your left
Speaker 1: hand or your left leg could be curveball. I wanted
Speaker 1: to signal location because location would then help you a
Speaker 1: little bit more. If I say curveball and I'm screwed
Speaker 1: up the signs now, I'm really you know, somebody can
Speaker 1: get hurt. Yeah, Paul, So Baseball, instead of just making
Speaker 1: sure teams didn't use apple washes to steal signs from
Speaker 1: center field signal to the dugout bang a can, they
Speaker 1: overcommensated by removing the entire human element of sportsmanship reading
Speaker 1: reading signs because someone else isn't protecting it, you have
Speaker 1: one at least one person on every baseball team who
Speaker 1: is good at stealing signs. It can be a guy
Speaker 1: who's on the roster as one of your bench coaches.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he does. He's always looking. He's
Speaker 1: going to read the third base coach. He's going to
Speaker 1: see if when you put down fastball or curveball, do
Speaker 1: you put it down a little too low that I
Speaker 1: can see underneath your leg and see that you're holding
Speaker 1: down two fingers there. It doesn't take long for these
Speaker 1: guys to decipher. They're like breakers. But what happens if
Speaker 1: a picture wants to shake off the catcher you then
Speaker 1: you have to reinput the pitch type location into the pad.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a no button like the picture hears in
Speaker 1: their ear slider down the way hit Nope, but does
Speaker 1: the does the picture have the pad on his wrist?
Speaker 1: It's just the catcher. Yeah, I really don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing if you know, all of a sudden, it's like
Speaker 1: fastball down the pipe and you go, no, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they could just shake it off. They always shake it off,
Speaker 1: shake it off, But then you have to then you
Speaker 1: have to put in another pitch, and then what happens
Speaker 1: if you shake there are guys who shake them off.
Speaker 1: They'll be like three in a row they're shaking them off.
Speaker 1: That's not any different if you're using your fingers or
Speaker 1: you're using your pitch com well, you still have to
Speaker 1: punch it in. Yeah, but it only it takes like
Speaker 1: two seconds, okay, and then two more seconds and then
Speaker 1: two more seconds. If I shake you off three times,
Speaker 1: the pitch clock is, you know, counting down. But that
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be the same though, if you
Speaker 1: wiggle your fingers one way and then you shake it off,
Speaker 1: a wiggle your fingers another way, shake it off, wiggle
Speaker 1: your fingers another. But if you have you know, real
Speaker 1: thick fingers and you press the wrong you've I mean
Speaker 1: we've all you know typed text and you go, oh,
Speaker 1: the wrong one, you hit a nut, wrong button there,
Speaker 1: don't know that you've hit it? Yes, Or if you're
Speaker 1: not getting a good signal on the mount, now you
Speaker 1: got to step up the rumber and walk towards second base.
Speaker 1: You can commit back to the mound. How many bars
Speaker 1: you got out there? I got I got one bar,
Speaker 1: I got one board? Why does he keep walking up
Speaker 1: and down the third base line? Pitch the ball it's third. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be a play at the plate and the catcher
Speaker 1: falls over and batteries are flying all over the balls
Speaker 1: over there. You know, you go in, your spikes are up,
Speaker 1: you're trying to hit that the catcher's wristband there. But
Speaker 1: I guess this starts on Thursday. It's supposed to, is it?
Speaker 1: Is it optional? That's what I'm curious, because if I'm
Speaker 1: a pitcher, what is that receiver in my hat? Like you?
Speaker 1: Because that's how you're gonna hear it. You don't have
Speaker 1: anything in your ear. You don't have an earpiece to you.
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine pitching that way. All right, come on in,
Speaker 1: stay a while if you can. We talked a lot
Speaker 1: about what Kansas was able to do. North Carolina was
Speaker 1: up sixteen, Kansas comes back, and it was awkward to
Speaker 1: see Bill self up there with the president of the NCIA,
Speaker 1: Mark Emert, and Kansas is being investigated for some things
Speaker 1: that happened, some improprieties that happened back in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: This is almost like when Roger Goodell was on the
Speaker 1: podium with Bill Belichick. You're this is awkward, And of
Speaker 1: course I was there It didn't feel awkward, but I
Speaker 1: could see the optics if you're looking at it. And
Speaker 1: last night you got Mark Emert, the president of the NCIA,
Speaker 1: up there for the trophy ceremony, Bill self, Kansas under investigation.
Speaker 1: You got two guys who worked for Adidas who were
Speaker 1: giving money to recruits or parents of recruits at Kansas.
Speaker 1: They're in prison. Two of the three are in prison
Speaker 1: right now, like they wake up today and you know
Speaker 1: they're going and the Kansas Jayhawks national champs and they're
Speaker 1: in jail going. I'll be damned. We're in prison, Kansas
Speaker 1: celebrating a national championship. It was just it was awkward.
Speaker 1: It was also awkward when Mark emirate Uh had this
Speaker 1: to say when he was on the podium with the
Speaker 1: national championship. Were so excited for you and here to
Speaker 1: present the trophies ahead of the basketball committee to coach
Speaker 1: South in the Kansas City Jaws the University Kansas Jayhawks
Speaker 1: got got loose and turned four there for Mark emertt
Speaker 1: Kansas City Jayhawks, Royals, Monarchs something Where's boy Williams used
Speaker 1: to congratulations? Roy whimmed, oh, Bill, Sylph, we're investigating you. Yeah, Marv.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if you're the guys that are
Speaker 1: in prison right now and somebody says, oh, what are
Speaker 1: you in prison for? And you tell them the reason
Speaker 1: why when you're in commissary or a mess hall or whatever,
Speaker 1: how stupid do you look like? Wait say that again.
Speaker 1: Those guys that are on TV right now, that's what
Speaker 1: you went to prison for. You're out of the yard.
Speaker 1: You know you got guys out there. Hey, what are
Speaker 1: you in for? Murder? What are you in? Armed robbery?
Speaker 1: What are you in for? I gave like seven thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to a recruit. Huh yeah yeah, Camson, the team
Speaker 1: that just won the national championship. Yeah, and you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll do it again away from that guy. If I
Speaker 1: get out of this, out of the slammer, I'll do
Speaker 1: it again, Yes, Todd. Behind closed prison doors, do they
Speaker 1: get championship rings? Okay? Okay, thanks, Yeah, Paul, they're probably
Speaker 1: in prison getting the UNC title shirts. The ones that
Speaker 1: we're going to be, they said him, like other countries
Speaker 1: to prisons. Eight seven seven three d P shell email
Speaker 1: address DP of Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle a
Speaker 1: DP show um Nathan in La leads us off this
Speaker 1: Final Hour. Hey Nate, Hey Dan, it's been a while,
Speaker 1: so um with this. Uh, I'm trying to get a
Speaker 1: debate going about nominating a new song to replace One
Speaker 1: Shining Moment one and I because I think we need to.
Speaker 1: I think it needs a generational upgrade. Let's put that way,
Speaker 1: or a generational update. Okay, I have a couple in mind.
Speaker 1: Now this can go with what they want. I would
Speaker 1: either go Fight Song from Rachel Platton or I would
Speaker 1: go Million Dreams from the Great Showman soundtrack. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, Nathan, Yeah, Fortie, I think you keep the
Speaker 1: same music and just chacter you pay you play heres
Speaker 1: instead of one Shining Moment. Just changed the words. Still
Speaker 1: like the music, especially the team that just won. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could use that for everybody
Speaker 1: you pay you play the guest chatters prospered, all right, whopping?
Speaker 1: Maybe we could bring this up to Jim Nance if
Speaker 1: he joins us tomorrow morning, a car, a bag of cans.
Speaker 1: My dad's got a tractor. I don't know if anybody's
Speaker 1: calling for changing the song. One Shining Moment mom now
Speaker 1: works in the athletics department. That happened Jesse and Illinois Hi, Jess,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey Dan? I was going great
Speaker 1: calling a comment. Yeah, just calling a comment on the
Speaker 1: pitch com Dude. I was watching spring training yesterday and
Speaker 1: I can't remember I was watching. I think it was
Speaker 1: the Astros and the thing stopped working and the catcher
Speaker 1: looks over the dug out. The equipment manager picks up
Speaker 1: a Willisville slugger. I just watched the trash can. Chris
Speaker 1: came in lowing away extra Thank you, Jess. Old habits
Speaker 1: die hard. Carlos Veltron, who was one of the organizers
Speaker 1: for the cheating scandal with the Astros. Now he's a
Speaker 1: broadcaster with the Yankees. He had this to say, I
Speaker 1: believe yesterday about that his time when he was in Houston.
Speaker 1: Look him back now. Yes, we decrossed the line. I
Speaker 1: made my statement about what happened in twenty seventeen, and
Speaker 1: I apologize and it was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: We all did what we did. Look him back today.
Speaker 1: We were wrong. I wish I would ask more questions
Speaker 1: about what we were doing. Look him back now, Yes,
Speaker 1: we DeCross the line. Who's he asking questions too? Is
Speaker 1: he in the mirror going why are you cheating? You
Speaker 1: know you're gonna give away any opportunity to be a
Speaker 1: manager in baseball. So let me get this straight. What
Speaker 1: we're doing here is wearing these devices. It tells us
Speaker 1: and then okay, okay, all right? Is that illegal? Carlos
Speaker 1: goes into the clubhouse. Guy, guys, why are we doing
Speaker 1: this because you told us to, because you orchestrated it,
Speaker 1: you said, tone because we're successful. I love that looking
Speaker 1: back now. At the time, it didn't dawn because this
Speaker 1: was wrong. But looking back now, I could see where
Speaker 1: maybe people are upset about it. Looking back now, I
Speaker 1: could see the more they say, the worse it gets.
Speaker 1: That's all, yes, yes, And then to say, if someone
Speaker 1: one of them would have told us to stop, maybe
Speaker 1: I guess we would have stopped. And now you're blaming
Speaker 1: like a GM in the front office. Yes, yes they did.
Speaker 1: They didn't tell us to stop, So I guess that's
Speaker 1: what we're doing. I thought it was perfectly legal. Tyler
Speaker 1: in Denver High Tyler, what's on your mind? Hey, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Danny? So the problem with this whole PitchCom
Speaker 1: thing is they're limiting the hat device with the listening
Speaker 1: device to only five players because signs are still going
Speaker 1: to get stolen down the line, right, So if the
Speaker 1: center fielder or shortstop have to relay the pitch to
Speaker 1: a teammate rite third base or right field, well they're
Speaker 1: just going to steal that sign now because everyone doesn't
Speaker 1: have the listening device, so it's still going to get
Speaker 1: sold somewhere in the process. Well, thank you, Toyer. By
Speaker 1: the way, the IndyCar Season motors on these streets of

Speaker 1: winner was who you would expect at orgeron he Big
Speaker 1: Kansas to win the title. Yep, that's who you would
Speaker 1: think Edwards run Coacho, he had Kansas winning and all Yes, Paully,
Speaker 1: maybe Alice, you should bring him back to take over
Speaker 1: a basketball team. Oh Man, the whole team left. Coach
Speaker 1: got fired. Will Wade the whole team left. Hey, I
Speaker 1: got some eligibility. I could help him in a pinch. Yes,
Speaker 1: time didn't We get some reaction to his acceptance speech
Speaker 1: of winning the College Basketball Mark Commandants Challenge. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what dann A most impressed with French talking a
Speaker 1: talk one last year. Came in second again this year.
Speaker 1: Very impressive from young man young the giant. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you Coacho. By the way, Tiger holding a press
Speaker 1: conference at Augusta, he says, as of right now, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm going to play. He was then asked
Speaker 1: if he does play, does he think he can win,
Speaker 1: and he says, yes, I do. He says, I feel
Speaker 1: fine swinging the club. The problem is walking that course.
Speaker 1: Reggie Alawisious Millard Junior the third the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: He'll be on the call Thursday night Lakers and the Warriors,
Speaker 1: and Reggie is back on the program. Hi, reg how
Speaker 1: are you today? Hello feet or in my lovely Dan,
Speaker 1: It's how cool though, would it be? And then again
Speaker 1: another Cinderella come from behind, comeback story. If Tiger says,
Speaker 1: you know what, in the eleventh hour, okay, I'll play,
Speaker 1: and then goes out and just stampedes the course and
Speaker 1: the competition. I mean, how awesome would that be. It's
Speaker 1: just amazing if he plays. I mean that that alone
Speaker 1: is you know, monumental. But now it feels like he's playing.
Speaker 1: We expect him to do well. Not It went from
Speaker 1: maybe he can play a round, one round, now it's
Speaker 1: now he's gonna play, He's gonna make the cut, He'll
Speaker 1: be there on Sunday afternoon. Like that, We ratchet up
Speaker 1: our expectations with Tiger more so than probably any other athlete.
Speaker 1: And I think if you ask Tiger, he would probably
Speaker 1: want it that way, right. I mean, he's been in
Speaker 1: the public eye over twenty years, obviously chasing Jack in
Speaker 1: Grand slams. I think he would want it no other way.
Speaker 1: And we expect greatness from our you know, Mount Olympus
Speaker 1: type athletes, and Tiger is on Mount Olympus in terms
Speaker 1: of in today's age, first name basis worldwide appeal. Tiger
Speaker 1: Woods maybe the face of all of sports. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we would expect that. But did I hear this right?
Speaker 1: In his words? Was an amputation on the table for
Speaker 1: that leg? Yeah? Yeah, I think yeah, I think it was. Well,
Speaker 1: he nearly launched his life, then he nearly lost his leg.
Speaker 1: And that's fourteen months ago. And now now I look
Speaker 1: at what Alex Smith went through with all of those surgery.
Speaker 1: He was gonna lose his like he was quarterbacking the NFL.
Speaker 1: Like nobody's chasing Tiger. You know, he gets to walk.
Speaker 1: But you know, what Alex Smith did was remarkable as well.
Speaker 1: Have you ever met Tiger? Yes? Yes, nice fella anyway, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I met him a few times. But you're not a golfer,
Speaker 1: so what did you talk about? Um, it's funny I
Speaker 1: met him in Vegas, which this is this is before
Speaker 1: kids for me, before the whole scandal with him, So
Speaker 1: it's only fitting that I would meet him in Vegas.
Speaker 1: I was coming in, I was going out of a club,
Speaker 1: he was coming into the club, and we crossed paths
Speaker 1: and exchanged pleasant trees. Who's more Vegas? You or Tiger? Now? No?
Speaker 1: The old No, no, the old, the old you. We
Speaker 1: probably could give each other a run for money. Wow,
Speaker 1: but where are you a gambler? A little bit. I'm
Speaker 1: not on the Charles Barkley level, but I like to roulette, blackjack.
Speaker 1: I like to hold onto my money. And I know
Speaker 1: Vegas was built on dummies like me, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to give them too much of it. But it's
Speaker 1: fun just to kind of have fun with your with
Speaker 1: your you know, with your boys sometimes can do you
Speaker 1: think in the next five years we have an NBA
Speaker 1: team in Vegas? Yes, I think we will have two
Speaker 1: NBA teams and I'm hoping this Vegas in Seattle need
Speaker 1: to get a franchise as well. I think we will
Speaker 1: have two within the next five years. I do believe that.
Speaker 1: How dangerous do you think that will be? Everything is
Speaker 1: online betting now. I think people are over it. I mean,
Speaker 1: Fan Duel and all these other spots bet MGA. That's
Speaker 1: the way of the world now. So I know the
Speaker 1: league's hesitation. We've got an NFL team there. No, I
Speaker 1: meant I met the nightlife redge, not the gambling. I
Speaker 1: mean you you're gonna have nightlife. You have nightlife in Indiana,
Speaker 1: you have nightlife in Milwaukee. You can have nightlife in Cleveland. Okay,
Speaker 1: the least dangerous city at night as far as partying
Speaker 1: was where while I've played. Yeah, I don't No, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna get in too much trouble in Milwaukee. You're
Speaker 1: not going to get in too much trouble into Utah.
Speaker 1: Charles got in trouble everywhere, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's how you can create your own trouble.
Speaker 1: I remember going to the underground in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the underground is real. It was
Speaker 1: a speakeasy. We walked down an alley and you knocked
Speaker 1: on this door. What And this was during the Utah Jazz,
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, NBA fund I speak easy, Yes. In Utah.
Speaker 1: Rodman was in there. I walk in because Rodman always
Speaker 1: thought I was Craig Sagar. He would always say, I
Speaker 1: walk in, the place is packed packed. You would never
Speaker 1: know that it existed. I walk in and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Rodman's there, and he goes, hey Segar Segar,
Speaker 1: and I go, oh, he thinks I'm Craig Segar. I said, hey, Dennis,
Speaker 1: how are you? The only thing you and Says are
Speaker 1: closely resembled is maybe your hype. I think you guys
Speaker 1: are probably the same hype. Other than that, that's it.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been out with Rodman? Yes, plenty of times,
Speaker 1: like out out like yes, plenty of times in la
Speaker 1: plenty of times. And what goes on any and everything,
Speaker 1: everything is on the table. With him, I'm more reserved
Speaker 1: and just because I always like to know my surroundings,
Speaker 1: like who I'm dealing with. So he was not like that.
Speaker 1: He would just have random people come up and that's
Speaker 1: just not me. So though I was a part of
Speaker 1: his I guess entourage and posse, I kind of stayed
Speaker 1: to myself because I'm more of a watcher, looker, observer
Speaker 1: when I'm in these situations because you just never know
Speaker 1: what could pop off, what could happen. So seeing him
Speaker 1: and this is Dennis robbing the whole after the Madonna
Speaker 1: the Champion, it's it's it's surreal to see because I've
Speaker 1: been out with him, meaning obviously I've hung out with Mike.
Speaker 1: In situations like that, it is you see the different
Speaker 1: type of people that gravitate towards them, and it's kind
Speaker 1: of it's cool to see, but like it kind of
Speaker 1: sucks too, Like you know, I feel I have a
Speaker 1: name recognition, But people don't like flaunt to me. They
Speaker 1: plonged to MJ, they flaunted to Magic Johnson, they flaunted
Speaker 1: to Rodman. I guess they would have flaunt to Lebron Kobe,
Speaker 1: but Kobe never went out. But it's just weird to
Speaker 1: see the different type of people that kind of serenade.
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Lebron. Magic Johnson was on ESPN yesterday
Speaker 1: and he blamed Lebron for the Lakers not getting DAMARDA
Speaker 1: Rosen that they wanted to get DAMARDA Rosen who was available,
Speaker 1: and Magic said he pushed for it, but Lebron wanted
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. Does that sound right? I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, your best player, your star player,
Speaker 1: and obviously, in the Lakers case, that would be Lebron.
Speaker 1: They had to have gone to Lebron and asked him,
Speaker 1: here's the less the list of guys that we're thinking about.
Speaker 1: I do know on that list was Damar I know
Speaker 1: on that list was Buddy Healed. I know on that
Speaker 1: list was Kyle Lowry. So they had options and choices,
Speaker 1: and look, if Lebron feels comfortable playing with Russell and
Speaker 1: that's his choice, I have no problem with it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna blame him because but do you think it's
Speaker 1: Lebron's decision that I think you can go that decision?
Speaker 1: But heavy input, Yes, heavy input, I would say, And
Speaker 1: that's been Lebron every place he's been started in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: going to Miami, going back to Cleveland, in now La. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you would go to Lebron and ask him his input
Speaker 1: on certain players. I mean, how did they get Anthony Davis?
Speaker 1: You don't think Lebron had a heavy dose of say
Speaker 1: yeah in that same agent too, right, But you know,
Speaker 1: the star players like Magic didn't make good decisions in
Speaker 1: the front office. Michael didn't make good, you know, decisions
Speaker 1: in the front office. You know. That's remember Michael wanted
Speaker 1: to bring h Walter Davis into the Bowl when he
Speaker 1: was on one lead in one leg al Wood, you know,
Speaker 1: and then Jerry Krall said no, didn't Michael draft. I'll
Speaker 1: just I mean, I love Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison,
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, great players sometimes are always their
Speaker 1: worst critics because they think they need they know more
Speaker 1: than they actually do. But I am not going to
Speaker 1: criticize Lebron if he wanted to play with Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: as opposed to DeMar dea Rosen because Demarda Rosen, the
Speaker 1: season that he's having right now in Chicago, did we
Speaker 1: see any of that in San Antonio. We saw glimpses
Speaker 1: of it, Yeah, but we didn't see that full package
Speaker 1: that we're seeing in Chicago right now for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Russ is either really good or really bad. Demarda
Speaker 1: Rosen is steady. Like if it was an EKG, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, that patient's gonna die. No,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna live to be a hundred. Demarda Rosen's
Speaker 1: like he's like Joe Dumars. It's just like calm, no highlights,
Speaker 1: just goes out there and plays, get you some buckets,
Speaker 1: mid range jumpers. Again, I can't fault Lebron for wanting
Speaker 1: to play with Russell, and I mean, here's the problem.
Speaker 1: They're throwing Frank Vogel under thee underneath the bus, which
Speaker 1: to me is not fair. Who's should be skating on
Speaker 1: thin ice should be Rob Polenka. Seriously, he's the general manager,
Speaker 1: he's the president of whatever title he has with the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we always want to go to Lebron.
Speaker 1: It's Lebron's fault. It's Frank Vogel's fault. You gotta start
Speaker 1: looking at upple management. You guys start looking at the
Speaker 1: Bus family Genie Bus two, right, they're the ones that
Speaker 1: put this roster together. Rocker Lebron is out there. Is
Speaker 1: he recruiting. Absolutely? Is he asking some of assurance to
Speaker 1: play like Carmelo. Absolutely, But they can at the end
Speaker 1: of the day saying no. They could have went out
Speaker 1: and got Buddy Hill. They could have vetoed that and
Speaker 1: say we're gonna go with Demark de Rosen. So don't
Speaker 1: throw Lebron underneath the bus. Let's start looking at some
Speaker 1: of the principles here in Genie Bus and Rob Polika
Speaker 1: as well. But they could have had DeMar Derozen and
Speaker 1: Buddy Healed. They could have done. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You look at Lebron's skill set and what he needs.
Speaker 1: Guys that can shoot the three, that can make open
Speaker 1: shops like Damar probably the best mid range player in
Speaker 1: our game. That fits his skill set. So someone in
Speaker 1: upper management needs to say, Okay, I know he wants
Speaker 1: to play with Russell Westbrook, but his skill set doesn't
Speaker 1: fit the way we and Lebron plays, So there's got
Speaker 1: to be a grow up in the room now, right,
Speaker 1: So let's not always throw it on Lebron James shoulders
Speaker 1: and you get to see the Lakers on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: on TNT against which could be an elimination game for them, right,
Speaker 1: This could be an elimination from the playoff game for them.
Speaker 1: We want them in the play And although Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: says the world is against us, that I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's more Laker fans than any other fan base, right,
Speaker 1: and and every TV executive who carries the NBA wants
Speaker 1: the Lakers in. We do we have the West this year.
Speaker 1: Let's make no mistake. Having the Lakers in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: in a deep playoff run, that's huge for the business. Yea, right,
Speaker 1: Not even having them in the playoffs at all is
Speaker 1: terrible for the business. But not I mean, I would
Speaker 1: love to have them in the play in situation because
Speaker 1: those games are and I give Adam Silver a lot
Speaker 1: of credit. It adds a lot of juice. Now to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, the Lakers, hopefully they got into that
Speaker 1: tenth spot having to win in New Orleans and then
Speaker 1: you know, eventually having to play the winner or the
Speaker 1: loser of that. I believe it's Minnesota Clippers that adds juice.
Speaker 1: So yes, not having them in the playoffs with her
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller Hall of Famer, turners sports NBA and NCAA
Speaker 1: tournament analysts. I mentioned this last week. It feels like
Speaker 1: the tournament is either you're eighteen years of age or
Speaker 1: you're twenty three or twenty four, right right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree that the transfer potal I think to me, it
Speaker 1: injected something into college basketball because of the whole COVID situation.
Speaker 1: It gave those guys and players what an extra year
Speaker 1: fifth year seniors. You know, we were calling that Kansas
Speaker 1: versus Miami Elite eight game in Chicago and between Mitch Lightfoot,
Speaker 1: Cameron mcgustie, Remy Martin, I mean, all these guys are
Speaker 1: fifth and six. I believe mcgusti was twenty four years old.
Speaker 1: I'm like, twenty four, they're playing against like eighteen and
Speaker 1: nineteen year olds. I'm like, that's a clear cut advantage.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I get it. I like it.
Speaker 1: So it has a little juice to it. But we're
Speaker 1: going to get back to these kids coming out of
Speaker 1: high school going right to the NBA, right I think so, yeah,
Speaker 1: or going straight to the G League or league whatever
Speaker 1: it is now to make some money. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: eventually the world will correct itself. And if someone wants
Speaker 1: to play college for a year, which to me I
Speaker 1: wish they would, or they need to change this model around.
Speaker 1: Because of the NILS now and players being able to
Speaker 1: make money, players may start to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I can go to college for a couple of years,
Speaker 1: still work on my brand while making money, and the
Speaker 1: colleges win as well because you're getting top twenty, top
Speaker 1: fifty type players still playing in the college game. Did
Speaker 1: Kansas win it or North Carolina lose it. I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna take away anything from the champions But if you're
Speaker 1: up sixteen in the second half of a college game
Speaker 1: where you can control thirty five second shot clock and
Speaker 1: you've just got to make plays and squeeze the life
Speaker 1: out of that Orange, that's a tough pill to swallow,
Speaker 1: being up sixteen and losing a championship. But I'm going
Speaker 1: to give all the credit to Kansas because when we
Speaker 1: were calling Kansas in Chicago and I told Harlan and
Speaker 1: Dan Vonnerd this, they did not look good at all.
Speaker 1: They played that one great second half versus in Miami
Speaker 1: and blew them out in the second half, but the
Speaker 1: other three quarters were just okay. They played hard, they
Speaker 1: had great talent, but I just didn't see it. So
Speaker 1: when they won that Miami game was headed to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, if that kid from Villanova has
Speaker 1: never heard, could this have been a different outcome for them?
Speaker 1: Because what we saw from Villanova when we had them
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, like, this is a team to beat. Their defense,
Speaker 1: their ball momit the way they shoot the basketball. But
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty four year old, they have like
Speaker 1: Gillespie and Samuel's and more. I'm like, Villanova's the team
Speaker 1: to beat. But when that kid got hurt, I'm like,
Speaker 1: Kansas got a break right there. MVP this year is
Speaker 1: going to be an MVP this year should be of
Speaker 1: those different answers. The MVP this year will be Yokich.
Speaker 1: The MVP should be yannest Onto Takumbo. How he has
Speaker 1: closed this season and I know consistently it's been Yoki
Speaker 1: for and what he's had to deal with with two
Speaker 1: key injuries to two major players in Jamal Murray, and
Speaker 1: Porter Junior. It will be Yoki. It should be honest
Speaker 1: him getting his third MVP because how he's been the
Speaker 1: last month and a half two months has been spectacular.
Speaker 1: I think he's, which is scary, gone to a different level.
Speaker 1: But it should be young us. How long did it
Speaker 1: take you to shoot your Wendy's commercials? Oh man, that
Speaker 1: was it. Those were two days shoots and I hope
Speaker 1: people enjoyed them. It was great because the director said, look,
Speaker 1: we've seen the first two years were great. Well we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna let you and the actors just ad lived.
Speaker 1: We have a script that we can somewhat follow, but
Speaker 1: here's the script, but do whatever you guys want, and
Speaker 1: we did whatever want. So what you see a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of the first takes us just being us
Speaker 1: and working off one another, which made it fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but how tough was that the idea had to miss
Speaker 1: a shot on purpose? It was very difficult because that's
Speaker 1: not my DNA Theodore, you know, that's not my Theodore.
Speaker 1: That's not my DNA. I had to look at and
Speaker 1: like Brick, I'm like, are you sure you want this? Like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're never gonna use it. Get the commercial they used it. People,
Speaker 1: I don't miss that bad. I do not miss that bad.
Speaker 1: You don't, No, you don't. Hey, great to have you back,
Speaker 1: and uh, good luck. The playoffs aren't. The NBA playoffs
Speaker 1: is gonna be great. Look, I even talk about Brooklyn
Speaker 1: like Simmons. Now he's not going to even play in
Speaker 1: the playoff. What is it Brooklyn and the Lakers both
Speaker 1: in play in situation? I started the season they were
Speaker 1: picked to face one another in the NBA finals. Now
Speaker 1: they are scratching in clawn just to make the regular playoffs.
Speaker 1: This year is going to be great the playoffs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Ben Schimman's thing, How did how did the nets
Speaker 1: not know that he had an injury. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: Daryl Morway and Philly they must have that fishing real
Speaker 1: they got they got it boy. Yeah, I mean he
Speaker 1: needed he needed the last ten games of the regular
Speaker 1: season to get ready. And now I wonder, you know
Speaker 1: Kyrie is going to be able to play unless they
Speaker 1: go to Toronto. And like this Harden feels like a
Speaker 1: detriment of Philadelphia, Like it's just it's this trade didn't
Speaker 1: turn out to be what I think we thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be. I think at the end of
Speaker 1: the day it will be Miami Milwaukee in the East Finals,
Speaker 1: and I think at the end of the day it
Speaker 1: will be Phoenix and Memphis in the West Final. Clown though,
Speaker 1: I mean, if step can come back and play like
Speaker 1: he played the first month and a half and Draymond
Speaker 1: Greene kind of picks up his game a little bit
Speaker 1: because Clay is starting to come on now a little bit.
Speaker 1: So if they can find that chemistry, which I don't
Speaker 1: know if they can this late Midphis is playing out
Speaker 1: of their minds, and I wouldn't mind seeing a Dylan Brooks,
Speaker 1: John More Guards versus Chris Paul and Devin Booker. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to see that. It'd be fun, have
Speaker 1: fun Thursday night. We'll talk to you next week. Thanks

Speaker 1: Tiger Woods held a press conference lasted about a half
Speaker 1: hour forty minutes, and he had this to say about
Speaker 1: is he going to play well as of right now?
Speaker 1: I feel like I am going to play as of
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna play more holes tomorrow. My recovery
Speaker 1: has been good. I've been very excited about how I've
Speaker 1: recovered each and every day and that that's been the challenge.
Speaker 1: That's why I came up here and then test it
Speaker 1: out for twenty seven holes. Tiger was also asking if
Speaker 1: he does play, how will he do. You've said countless
Speaker 1: times throughout your career that you don't enter a golf
Speaker 1: tournam unless you think that you can win. And so
Speaker 1: the question is simple, do you think you can win
Speaker 1: the Masters this week? I do? And what have you
Speaker 1: seen in your preparation that leads you to believe that well?
Speaker 1: I can. I can hit it just fine, and I
Speaker 1: don't have any qualms about what I can do physically
Speaker 1: from a golf standpoint. It's stow walking as a hard part.
Speaker 1: You know, this is normally not a easy walk to
Speaker 1: begin with. Uh. Now, given the the condicitions that you know,
Speaker 1: my leg is and it gives you a little bit
Speaker 1: more more difficult and you know that's uh. You know,
Speaker 1: semi two holes is a long run, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be a tough challenge and the challenge that I'm
Speaker 1: up for. He says that he's lucky to be alive
Speaker 1: and still have his leg, said, I'm very grateful that
Speaker 1: someone upstairs was taking care of me. Amputation was on
Speaker 1: the table as it stands now, Tiger, we'll see it
Speaker 1: up on Thursday, and I think keep an eye on
Speaker 1: the weather and how that affects if he I'm guessing
Speaker 1: he'll go out early on Thursday and then later on Friday.
Speaker 1: You reverse him. So if you go out later on Thursday,
Speaker 1: then you go early on Friday. But no tea times
Speaker 1: have been announced. Yeah, Dave and Laguna Beach. Dave, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Thanks for taking my card? Six
Speaker 1: foot a hard one ninety as it real quick. Before
Speaker 1: I get to my baseball talk, don't retire. It's overrated.
Speaker 1: I retired two and a half years ago, and I
Speaker 1: thought it'd be great to retire fifty five, and I
Speaker 1: loved what I did and I miss it every day,
Speaker 1: So all right, if you love what you do, not
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. Real quick, on a good
Speaker 1: and bad I gotta get back to Friday. I was
Speaker 1: in H Scott's pail and join five days of spring training,
Speaker 1: and I know you've blacked poetic about it is a
Speaker 1: manything experience, but it was made even better by your
Speaker 1: phenomenal Randy Johnson interview. It was definitely an all timer.
Speaker 1: My worst real quick was all the Tiger talk and
Speaker 1: the Colin Kaepernick talk, and lastly, a quick comment about
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr. Loved the guy everything. Every time he opens
Speaker 1: his mouth has something great and thoughtful to say. And
Speaker 1: I really loved last Saturday that he took time out
Speaker 1: part of the game in Sacramento after the tragedy there
Speaker 1: to make his opinions known about gun violence and not
Speaker 1: take any basketball talk. Thank you, Dave, Thanks for the
Speaker 1: phone call. Todd has a limerick I almost forgot. I
Speaker 1: tried to forget him. Yes, so has a limerick. We
Speaker 1: started with mock headlines and then we'll end the show
Speaker 1: with a limerick. Off. Last night's title game looked like Carolina,
Speaker 1: we'd get crown selves. Jayhawks playing the clown, so they
Speaker 1: clicked their heels in the dome, said there's no place
Speaker 1: like home, and Kansas came back from sixteen points down.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you little wizard of Austin going here
Speaker 1: Kansas heels, Yeah, got it. I think got it. This
Speaker 1: day in sports history, pol there's a good one. Nineteen
