Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our two on this Tuesday. Come on in, stay awhile,
Speaker 2: gangs all here, including Fritzy phone calls. Always welcome. Good
Speaker 2: morning those watching on Peacock, our streaming partner. You get
Speaker 2: to watch this show if you like. You get to
Speaker 2: put faces to the voices here. You've been warned. We
Speaker 2: also say good morning to our radio affiliates numbering over
Speaker 2: four hundred cities in America that carry this previously award
Speaker 2: nominated program. We don't even get nominated anymore. Celtics handled
Speaker 2: the Cabs up three to one, should put them away
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night. I don't think that Donovan Mitchell is
Speaker 2: going to be able to play in that game. He
Speaker 2: didn't play last night. Thunderbeat the Mavericks. That series tied
Speaker 2: to two games apiece. Shay Gilgis Alexander went for thirty four.
Speaker 2: He is sort of the next version hold on here
Speaker 2: of Kevin Durant from the standpoint of he's bringing the
Speaker 2: mid range jumper back SGA mid range jumpers. You know,
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant has made a career out of the mid
Speaker 2: range jumpers, but SGA when you're watching. He is very,
Speaker 2: very efficient. That fifteen eighteen foot area there he owns
Speaker 2: it had thirty four and they made their free throws,
Speaker 2: something Dallas did not do. I spent way too much
Speaker 2: time talking about free throws in the first hour. OKC
Speaker 2: was twenty three to twenty four. Dallas was twelve of
Speaker 2: twenty three fifty two percent. So thunder over the maps.
Speaker 2: That series tied at two games apiece. A couple of
Speaker 2: game fives. They're called pivotal. It's pacers at the Knicks.
Speaker 2: The Knicks are a slight favorite, and the Timberwolves at
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. The Nuggets are a slight favorite in that one. Well,
Speaker 2: check in with the Detroit Lions. They locked up. Jared
Speaker 2: Goff got a contract extension. I wasn't surprised that he
Speaker 2: got an extension. I was surprised at the amount of
Speaker 2: money that they gave him because he had one year left.
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of leverage he had. They've
Speaker 2: already spent a lot of money with Penny Sewell, their
Speaker 2: great offensive linemen and Aman Ross Saint Brown. They're great
Speaker 2: wide receiver. Seatan how about a poll question for hour
Speaker 2: or two? I did check in with Mike Florio said,
Speaker 2: what's the leverage with Jared Goff And he said, well,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he would have held out with OTAs. All right, Setan,
Speaker 2: what do you have? And I do have the odds
Speaker 2: this is according to DraftKings to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are a slight favored over the Niners. Then
Speaker 2: it's the Ravens the Chiefs and Ravens will open up
Speaker 2: the season. Then it's the Lions. And here's the surprise.
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bill's odds are the same as it's the
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. Plus twelve hundred Ravens plus nine hundred Niners
Speaker 2: plus six hundred Chiefs are plus five fifty. So a
Speaker 2: little bit surprised with all the upheaval turnover in Buffalo,
Speaker 2: but here they are with the same odds as the Lions.
Speaker 3: All right, Seatan, all right, you're ready, yep, all right,
Speaker 3: So we had up there. What game you most interested
Speaker 3: in tonight? Knicks, Pacers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, feversn Right now, twenty
Speaker 3: two percent have fever Son running away with it. Timberwolves Nuggets. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's a strong, strong series.
Speaker 2: But if I take that one out and I just
Speaker 2: have the Knicks, Pacers.
Speaker 3: Looks like Nick Pacers is running away with that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I want to be watching when Caitlin
Speaker 2: Clark makes your debut.
Speaker 4: Heck you Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, I saw where USC is going to
Speaker 2: play Connecticut, So Juju Watkins and Paige Beckers little Home
Speaker 2: at Home sign me up for that all in made
Speaker 2: for TV. Love it? That'll be great? All right? What
Speaker 2: else do you have? Seaton?
Speaker 3: Well with Jared Goff getting paid, it's just a massive
Speaker 3: contract extension. There are five quarterbacks that are up next.
Speaker 3: We have Dak Prescott, who seems to always be up
Speaker 3: for a contract.
Speaker 2: Somehow, it always seems to do well when he's up
Speaker 2: for a contract.
Speaker 3: Yes, no matter when, who signs what contract? Whenever you're like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, that's good news for Dak. Yeah, How the
Speaker 3: hell is this dude always sided the contract?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Bet on himself, man, betting on himself.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So you got Dak, you got Purdy, Yeah, you got
Speaker 3: Brock Perdy who uh, he might become the highest paid
Speaker 3: quarterback in the league. It's possible.
Speaker 2: I go, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean, if he has another MVP caliber year that
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to cough up a hell of a
Speaker 3: lot of money for that youngster.
Speaker 2: Proof should it's where you get drafted the team, not
Speaker 2: necessarily you know what pick, but what team you go
Speaker 2: to and what weapons you have.
Speaker 3: So you got Party and Dak Tua Tua another he's
Speaker 3: a twenty twenty UH draft class.
Speaker 2: Trevor.
Speaker 3: He to good enough to get you to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: He seems to be a little not shaky, but there
Speaker 3: certainly were some injury concerns there kick a play uh
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. He's underwhelmed, but he's still a very good quarterback.
Speaker 3: He's up for a new deal. Jordan Love, he's entering
Speaker 3: the fifth year of his rookie deal. He seems to
Speaker 3: be the guy he's going to need to get paid. Yeah,
Speaker 3: who are you paying of those? I'll take dac out.
Speaker 3: Who are you paying of the for Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 3: Tua or Rock Party?
Speaker 2: Who would I pay first? Right? Or who would I
Speaker 2: pay the most amount to? Oh? Boy, I I'd say
Speaker 2: none of them.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend sixty million dollars on any
Speaker 2: of these guys?
Speaker 3: What Tua you got gonna throw it to brock shot,
Speaker 3: No world, No no, what, No, No, he's a good
Speaker 3: quarterback on a really good team. Well you gotta pay.
Speaker 3: So first of all, we should just make it clear
Speaker 3: every single one of them is getting paid. Yes, every
Speaker 3: single one of them is absolutely getting paid.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, Would I feel comfortable with them, No, but that's
Speaker 2: what the market bears. Yes, Pump, it.
Speaker 6: Does feel like every single one of them is going
Speaker 6: to get the full boat and not the Mitch Trubisky
Speaker 6: treatment where they say, like we've seen it when we
Speaker 6: out like to of last year forty six hundred yards,
Speaker 6: twenty nine touchdowns. By the way, no concussions, no miss
Speaker 6: games due to injury, which is the big kicker with
Speaker 6: him to his a year ago.
Speaker 4: That was a big question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but too it seems like a comfort thing too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like I'm guessing Mike McDaniels likes him at quarterback, and
Speaker 3: it's like, nah, that's my guy. I'm comfortable with him.
Speaker 3: Let's get him paid. He knows how to run my
Speaker 3: offense and he runs it well. Tyreek Hill can make
Speaker 3: a lot of people look good. Heck yeah, he's making
Speaker 3: a lot of people rich.
Speaker 2: And uh Jalen Waddle and then now they got obj
Speaker 2: so to probably going to put up good numbers. But
Speaker 2: if it came down to all of these quarterbacks, if
Speaker 2: I said, right game on the line, who do you want?
Speaker 2: You know, Jordan Love, who I like. I was in
Speaker 2: the minority, but I did like him, and he played great,
Speaker 2: won a game in Dallas, could have won the game
Speaker 2: against the Niners. I just don't know if I don't
Speaker 2: have a big enough sample size. Uh, Tua, Dak Perdy,
Speaker 2: Trevor game on the line. You're in a title game,
Speaker 2: game on the line. But see, here's the thing. We
Speaker 2: factor in the talent. So I would probably say Rock
Speaker 2: Purdy because of the talent around him, and you know,
Speaker 2: the head coach, I probably side with him over the
Speaker 2: other other quarterbacks just because of the talent. And you
Speaker 2: got an offensive minded head coach there. Because Dallas, I
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of confidence in Mike McCarthy Tua,
Speaker 2: although I love the coach, Jordan Love. Jordan Love might
Speaker 2: be my second choice there. I mean I like him,
Speaker 2: and then Trevor. I'm just never quite sure, even though
Speaker 2: you know you're head coach of former quarterback. I just
Speaker 2: I keep waiting for him to be great, and he
Speaker 2: might just be very good. Here's some numbers here. So
Speaker 2: Jared Goff got paid and his numbers were really good
Speaker 2: last year. Thirty touchdowns, twelve interceptions through for almost forty
Speaker 2: six hundred yards, So they had better stats than Mahomes
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen, C. J. Stroud as well. Warren Sharp
Speaker 2: has some comparison. So since the trade Stafford and Golf,
Speaker 2: Stafford goes to the rams, Golf goes to the lines.
Speaker 2: Since the twenty twenty one trade, who has more wins?
Speaker 2: Golf or Stafford? If you said it's a tie, you'd
Speaker 2: be correct twenty four Who has a better completion percentage?
Speaker 2: If you said tie, you'd be right sixty six percent.
Speaker 2: If you said who has committed more turnovers? And if
Speaker 2: you said a tie, you'd be correct forty one turnovers. No,
Speaker 2: I'm not done yet. More Yes, how about first down
Speaker 2: first downs per attempt? If you said tie, you'd be
Speaker 2: correct thirty five point two percent of the time they
Speaker 2: get a first down per attempt. How about yards after
Speaker 2: the catch completion? Jared Goff five point five, Matthew Stafford
Speaker 2: five point five. Here's the only difference the number of
Speaker 2: touchdown passes since twenty twenty one. Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: Who has more Jared Goff seventy eight, Matthew Stafford seventy five.
Speaker 2: Stat of the day, that past stat of the day,
Speaker 2: stat of the day, here comes, here comes that what
Speaker 2: stad of the That's a win win, that's a win win.
Speaker 2: That's where if you graded it right after, you're gonna go,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh. The Rams got the better of this.
Speaker 2: They didn't want Golf, they didn't want his contract, they
Speaker 2: got rid of him. You got Matthew Stafford. He can
Speaker 2: be the final piece, the missing piece, and you win
Speaker 2: a super Bowl. But that's why you can't grade it
Speaker 2: in the moment. If you do, it's an incomplete and
Speaker 2: then now a couple of years later, if you're going
Speaker 2: to grade that trade, Rams got their super Bowl. Lions
Speaker 2: have a really good team. They went to the NFC
Speaker 2: title game, could have won that game, and they just
Speaker 2: signed up Jared Goff and they got three first round
Speaker 2: draft picks. With those first round draft picks, the Lions selected.
Speaker 6: Jamison Williams, a wide receiver who's coming along Jamiir Gibbs,
Speaker 6: the running back, tight end Sam Laporto, with a second
Speaker 6: round draft pick, and three other defensive starters. Three draft
Speaker 6: picks that became defensive starters.
Speaker 4: They got a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so win win, man, you might tip the scales.
Speaker 2: Even though the Rams won a Super Bowl. I mean,
Speaker 2: the Lions are set up for quite some time, young man.
Speaker 2: That's a young team. Yeah, Jared Golf seems like he's
Speaker 2: just he's the older guy on the team. Everybody else
Speaker 2: is like twenty three. Yeah, Golf's twenty nine.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like, yeah, everybody's twenty three, twenty four, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8: Now I'm worried about the Lions because they might go
Speaker 8: from like a lovable team to what if? What if
Speaker 8: they kind of strike out the next two seasons and
Speaker 8: year three of this, come on, lines, we gotta do it,
Speaker 8: because we don't. We took off the the kid gloves
Speaker 8: with the Bills where they were a que story, like
Speaker 8: I'm so happy they're good again. Now it's come on,
Speaker 8: let's do it. When's that gonna happen?
Speaker 2: Well, how long do you stay a cute story before
Speaker 2: we then now expect you to be good? Five months? No,
Speaker 2: it feels like it's at least a season or two
Speaker 2: where you're like, ah, you know what I like this team,
Speaker 2: they're you know, kind of spunk. You know, they're gritty,
Speaker 2: they hang in there. It's like two years and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now the Lions is like, all right,
Speaker 2: let's go. Let's see if you can go back to
Speaker 2: the NFC title game. Here, Yes, Todd, how did you
Speaker 2: not go twelve and five?
Speaker 7: You're gonna get killed.
Speaker 2: The schedule will be released coming up tomorrow. We do
Speaker 2: know that the Chiefs, we will start out their season
Speaker 2: with the AFC North. They have the Ravens and then
Speaker 2: the Bengals.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul Jared Goff last year, what he was making
Speaker 6: probably like twenty three to twenty four million, which believe
Speaker 6: or not as lowish for a quarterback when you throw
Speaker 6: for thirty touchdowns or an overachiever. This year, if he
Speaker 6: goes down down the list twenty five touchdowns, oh you
Speaker 6: got the money and now you're not.
Speaker 4: Producing, even if he just cools off a little.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Mahomes didn't have a great year last year.
Speaker 2: Like when you think, oh my god, I mean his
Speaker 2: regular season. Those aren't crazy stats that he put up. Yes, yes, Tom,
Speaker 2: And there is something.
Speaker 9: To be said for a bigger and bigger target is
Speaker 9: on your back besides the field, good story. You're not
Speaker 9: that sneaky Q team either that like everyone made fun of.
Speaker 9: Now this is more than a legitimate team that everyone's
Speaker 9: coming after.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8: And then after that the Texans will be that team.
Speaker 8: Not next year but the year after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Texans still are in the honeymoon stage. We're like,
Speaker 2: oh man, we like the Texans. They're fun, but the
Speaker 2: expectation level is going to be pretty high. Andrew in Washington, Hi, Andrew,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Good morning Dan.
Speaker 10: Then it's thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 11: I'm going to pivot back to basketball. Last night, I
Speaker 11: thought the ok See thunder showed some maturity, even though
Speaker 11: the youngest team in the league to come back again
Speaker 11: to Dallas. The stat out of that game that I
Speaker 11: saw it was the first time the Dallas Mavericks lost
Speaker 11: a home playoff game with a double digit halftime lead.
Speaker 11: Before last night's lost, they were seventeen. And oh but
Speaker 11: I really called to see if Todd is all the
Speaker 11: way back. I noticed yesterday he was kind of off
Speaker 11: his game. He had a three day weekend. We talked
Speaker 11: about the R word before his three day weekend, and
Speaker 11: he didn't even book. The best guest yesterday? Who was
Speaker 11: debbiean Long Island. I hope she calls back with an
Speaker 11: update on the fog she hasn't met yet.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, thank you Andrew. Yeah. I didn't even bring
Speaker 2: up relegation yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah. He was very good.
Speaker 2: Yes, she was.
Speaker 7: I might give her the edge two over Wally's herbier fair.
Speaker 2: I thought she might have had more analysis about the
Speaker 2: Knicks than Wally. Did you know? Pretty great? Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was a great appearance. Yes, yeah, she was like a
Speaker 2: three time member of the dead Dad club, or a
Speaker 2: dad who's dead to her, or dad that she doesn't
Speaker 2: know who he is finding out maybe that the dad
Speaker 2: she thought was her dad was not her dad. It
Speaker 2: was you know, it felt like a date line. It
Speaker 2: felt like a date line NBC on an All Knew Morey. No,
Speaker 2: it definitely felt like no, no, no, this is deeper
Speaker 2: than more deeper. This is a mystery. Kirk Morrison. Uh,
Speaker 2: who who's my man?
Speaker 8: That does the voice? Keith Morrison Morrison? Yeah, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 8: how many dads can you have?
Speaker 2: He would always leave you hanging when they went to commercial.
Speaker 2: Remember father number three? Yeah, it was always that, like
Speaker 2: just one line and then it would be you know,
Speaker 2: a piece of video or a still shot of something,
Speaker 2: or a swing would be swinging and nobody.
Speaker 4: Yea Father's Day is getting expensive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, father's Day?
Speaker 7: How many Stacy just went to get cotton candy at
Speaker 7: the carnival? Where is she? Nobody can find her?
Speaker 2: Well, that that's not what we're talking about.
Speaker 7: Dad, there's just the creepiness of the Yeah.
Speaker 2: When we were talking about you've provided the creepiness. Thank you, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 2: Maybe she went with her father? Which which one do
Speaker 2: we get debby something for Father's Day? Send her something
Speaker 2: next year she finds out, Let's see if she finds
Speaker 2: out who her dad is. And you know, how many
Speaker 2: dads does she have? How about a three for one
Speaker 2: deal by one? Yeah, three dads get one shirt. Okay,
Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll check in with the they

Speaker 2: half against the Knicks and the Timberwolves are getting four
Speaker 2: against the Nuggets. Kind of surprised the Timberwolves only getting four.
Speaker 2: I thought that might have been six six and a half.
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards over under is the same as the Jokers
Speaker 2: twenty nine and a half. The key will be Karl
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns. He's at eighteen and a half over under.
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray over under twenty one and a half and
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson over under thirty two and a half. So
Speaker 2: some of the betting lines of Reggie Miller will join us.
Speaker 2: Coming up next down. Let me see Tom in North Carolina. Tom,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program, adp Ayman.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think we can correctly assume that the Dallas
Speaker 14: and Detroit are probably going to be in the next
Speaker 14: two high profile games to be released. Okay, so I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 14: I'm actually wondering how Tom Brady could actually play in
Speaker 14: that because not playing the game, but actually be involved
Speaker 14: in maybe the decision because Tampa plays at Dallas and
Speaker 14: at Detroit.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so the schedule released with Tom Brady's first
Speaker 2: game will be the Cowboys and the Browns for Fox.
Speaker 2: That'll be interesting.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious how he sounds.
Speaker 14: You know that.
Speaker 2: I keep hearing that he's preparing. And nothing prepares you
Speaker 2: until you go and do a game like the crowd,
Speaker 2: the noise. You got to get used to that wearing
Speaker 2: a headset and you know your your partner there, the
Speaker 2: play by play guy. Just getting used to the ambiance
Speaker 2: is really going to be the difficult part. Using a telestrator,
Speaker 2: do I watch the screen the monitor? Do I watch
Speaker 2: the game. All of those things now, then you start
Speaker 2: to settle in. But it will be a learning experience
Speaker 2: for Tom this first year of just understanding, because you
Speaker 2: can be in a booth calling a game, but it's
Speaker 2: sterile when you get out there and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden there'll be a crowd down below yelling at you
Speaker 2: while you're, you know, doing your job. You know, this
Speaker 2: is what happens the Detroit Lions. I looked at the odds,
Speaker 2: according to DraftKings, odds to win the Super Bowl, Chiefs, Niners, Ravens,
Speaker 2: then it's the Lions and the Bills. Dave Burquette, Lions
Speaker 2: beat writer for the Detroit Free Press, what do you
Speaker 2: think of those odds? Now? The expectation level just ramped
Speaker 2: up a little bit here, Dave.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I like him.
Speaker 15: Dan.
Speaker 16: You know, I walked away from that first day of
Speaker 16: the draft, you know, I was taking my son to
Speaker 16: school the next day and I told them, maybe it's
Speaker 16: a little draft euphoria out of them getting a really
Speaker 16: good cornerback, but I think they might represent the NFC
Speaker 16: in the Super Bowl next year. A really complete roster,
Speaker 16: one of the best in the game, and really good
Speaker 16: coaching staff. That developed some young players, so tougher schedule,
Speaker 16: but I like what they've done.
Speaker 2: And they signed up they're star players, I mean, Penny
Speaker 2: Sewell and i'mon Ross Saint Brown. And then we knew
Speaker 2: Golf was going to get paid, or at least we thought,
Speaker 2: what did you make of the contract that he got?
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, four hundred and forty four million dollars
Speaker 16: to their three best players this offseason Jared Goff, I'm
Speaker 16: and Ross Saint Brown, Piney Sewell, three pillars of what
Speaker 16: they hoped to accomplish here. Plus they resigned Dan Campbell
Speaker 16: and Brad Holmes too extensions, so no real surprises keeping
Speaker 16: that group together. And look, the money for Golf, I
Speaker 16: don't think it's much of a surprise. You know, maybe
Speaker 16: I expected closer to fifty million, But the reality is
Speaker 16: the Lions would not be where they are without him.
Speaker 16: You know that trade that they made a couple of
Speaker 16: years ago, Jared, he didn't play great when he came.
Speaker 16: The Lions weren't a great team that first year, but
Speaker 16: he's been really really good since in the Lions offense
Speaker 16: has been really really good since And without him, without
Speaker 16: that offensive line, without I'm and Rossaint Brown, I don't
Speaker 16: think this team is as high in those odds as
Speaker 16: you talked about earlier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just wondering that you look at Golf's
Speaker 2: contract and he didn't have any leverage here, did he?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 16: I mean, look, he was going to be entering the
Speaker 16: last year of his deal. You know, this this year
Speaker 16: was going to be the last year of his deal.
Speaker 16: But I think it was a situation from the Lions standpoint,
Speaker 16: like they've got a really good thing going right now, why.
Speaker 2: Upset the apple cart?
Speaker 16: You know, they they wanted to get it done. As
Speaker 16: Brad Holmes said this week or last week, you know,
Speaker 16: Jared is deserving of an extension, and certainly the way
Speaker 16: the cap has gone up, I don't think this money
Speaker 16: will hamstring him or hamstring them. And in terms of
Speaker 16: what they want to do in the.
Speaker 2: Future, well, when's the last time the Lions had this
Speaker 2: kind of expectations?
Speaker 16: Not in my lifetime. I mean, you know, maybe nineteen
Speaker 16: ninety one, ninety two, Right, they were coming off that
Speaker 16: nineteen ninety one season, they made the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 16: Barry Sanders at the top of his game. You know,
Speaker 16: they were certainly one of the best teams in that year.
Speaker 16: But you look at that offseason. You know, they had
Speaker 16: lost Mike Guttley the end of the season before Eric Handelsack,
Speaker 16: another offensive lineman, died that offseason in a tragic x
Speaker 16: and outside his home, so there wasn't I don't think
Speaker 16: any offseason has really, you know, measured up to this
Speaker 16: one in terms of coming off a really good year
Speaker 16: and then then seemingly taking the next step at least
Speaker 16: doing the right things in the draft by locking up
Speaker 16: key players. Even in free agency, Dan, you know, they
Speaker 16: maybe they're a little thin at receiver, but look they
Speaker 16: they made an upgrade on the defensive line. You know
Speaker 16: when they signed DJ Reader. They they stayed at least
Speaker 16: even on the offensive line when they added Kevin Zeidler
Speaker 16: to Phil Jonah Jackson's use the guard. So really complete roster,
Speaker 16: good young guys that are still developing. I think this
Speaker 16: team is is for good reason, one of the considered
Speaker 16: one of the best.
Speaker 7: In the NFL.
Speaker 2: Uh Any worries about the Packers.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Look, I mean the schedule is going to be tougher.
Speaker 16: They play a first place schedule, The division is going
Speaker 16: to be tougher. I think the Bears are going to
Speaker 16: be better this year. Certainly the way Green Bay finished
Speaker 16: last year and the way Jordan Loves has played his
Speaker 16: you know, first season as a starter, it's not going
Speaker 16: to be a cake one for the Lions. And you know,
Speaker 16: if you're if you're looking at some of those odds
Speaker 16: and who represents the NSC in the super maybe.
Speaker 5: The Lions are living team that one.
Speaker 16: So maybe maybe that's something that.
Speaker 2: Dave good to join us. Thank you for joining us,
Speaker 2: and uh, we'll talk to you once season get started.
Speaker 16: Gotta do anytime.
Speaker 2: That's Dave Burquette, Lions beat writer, Detroit Free Press. Uh

Speaker 5: I have a little have a little intel on the
Speaker 5: Neil Young show. You're gonna go see. I saw him
Speaker 5: in Phoenix a few weeks ago. The old solb to
Speaker 5: rock Still. However, just be prepared that all the songs
Speaker 5: are crazy horse songs, so it's no Southern Man, no Alabama,
Speaker 5: no Ohio, no Sugar Mountain, and be prepared for jams.
Speaker 5: But it was still a great show.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think he opens up with a like a fifteen
Speaker 2: or seventeen minute jam Cortes the Killer. I'm not a
Speaker 2: jam band guy, but it is Neil Young. My wife
Speaker 2: got me tickets, so I'm going to go get to
Speaker 2: get to see him.
Speaker 3: Still fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's Neil Young. Yeah. I saw Crosby
Speaker 2: Stills in Nash, but I didn't see Crosby Stills Nashing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Neil had gone off on it on his own, but
Speaker 2: he really very very art guy. I've seen like a
Speaker 2: solo like acoustic up in his hometown in Canada. Did
Speaker 2: that and it sounded great. You know, it's just a
Speaker 2: unique sound that that he has that ability to write music,
Speaker 2: and you know he had the sweet Home Alabama like
Speaker 2: he had his Southern Man when he took a shot
Speaker 2: at Lyonard Skinnard and I checked, and Leonard Skinnard actually
Speaker 2: was a warm up band for Neil Young at some
Speaker 2: point on one of his tours a long, long, long
Speaker 2: time ago. And then Neil put out Southern Man, and
Speaker 2: then they came back with sweet Home Alabama that you
Speaker 2: know that we don't need you around any anyhow with
Speaker 2: Neils Yeah, yeah, it was a dis tracked by truck,
Speaker 2: Yeah by Leonard Skinner hardcore, yes, yeah, very oh yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: Since it's southern, be more of like a diss truck,
Speaker 4: you know, Okay, Southern, I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you?
Speaker 4: Who opened for who on that one? Who opened for who?
Speaker 4: Leonard Skinner opened for Neil? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Jonathan in Texas? Hi, Jonathan, what's on your mind today? Dana?
Speaker 15: Coincidentally enough, I drive a truck. Thanks for the shout out, Poali,
Speaker 15: but no second time, medium time, uh five nine and
Speaker 15: three quarters in fifteen.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 15: I just had a hypothetical update for the caller yesterday
Speaker 15: about the dad and whatnot. And you know, I just
Speaker 15: had a thought that if if if she showed up
Speaker 15: and she said hi, I'm your daughter, and he's like, no,
Speaker 15: I don't have a daughter. Todd would be like, we
Speaker 15: weren't even sure she should have shown up.
Speaker 5: Showed up?
Speaker 2: Wow, Jonathan, nice callback.
Speaker 7: And he may have been on hold for quite some
Speaker 7: time there.
Speaker 2: No, he was on hold for sixteen minutes. Don Marvin,
Speaker 2: have you found Ton?
Speaker 7: He wasn't even sure if he should have shown up.
Speaker 7: I just got my braces on on that day. I
Speaker 7: don't know what was going on.
Speaker 2: Now, that's when you said, you guys edited that. I go, No,
Speaker 2: we didn't.
Speaker 9: I was very frightening to hear that. Even to hear
Speaker 9: it again, now that's frightening. Yes, sounds like I'm having
Speaker 9: some kind of episode.
Speaker 2: Let me hear it again.
Speaker 9: He wasn't even sure if he should have shown up.
Speaker 9: That's like more than a speech of pedim it.
Speaker 5: That's like, did you.
Speaker 2: Did you have your retainer?
Speaker 9: It sounded like I had some kind of orthodontal domchic
Speaker 9: work done.
Speaker 2: Any relation to Luca, Don.
Speaker 7: Lucas, that's terrible.
Speaker 2: That should sound like that's his brother ortho orthodonture. Let
Speaker 2: me hear one more time.
Speaker 9: Mark, he wasn't even sure if he should have shown up.
Speaker 9: Stunning to listen back to you.
Speaker 2: Need to have a spit bucket.
Speaker 7: I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 3: I could have gotten so much joy out of just
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, but it.
Speaker 3: Makes me laugh exactly who we are, Yes, it is.
Speaker 2: That would be in a nutshow.
Speaker 7: Funny, but it's disturbing too. Yeah, it sounds like there's
Speaker 7: a medical.
Speaker 2: Issue disturbingly funny. That's us, Yes, it does.
Speaker 6: That was about two ish years ago, and it does
Speaker 6: seem like Todd's avoided those situations the past year.
Speaker 4: So it's like he's improved as a game.
Speaker 2: And then well, I think he's choosing words differently.
Speaker 9: I gotta be more cognizant of it. And you remind
Speaker 9: me about fifteen times a day you make that noise
Speaker 9: in and.
Speaker 4: Out of the studio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, in and out of the studio is a sneaky
Speaker 6: line there.
Speaker 7: He wasn't even sure if he should have shown up
Speaker 7: all those essays at once.
Speaker 5: I know, I.
Speaker 9: Cannot believe that wasn't doctored. And somewhere in the back
Speaker 9: it was. That's the frightening part of it.
Speaker 2: It was not you need to be doctored.
Speaker 7: I do. I should schedule appointment as soon as that.
Speaker 2: Eric in Virginia. Good morning, Eric. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 2: How are you big? Great?
Speaker 7: Great?
Speaker 5: Great?
Speaker 10: Good? Yeah, No, I actually just wanted to weigh on
Speaker 10: the Seinfeld thing. First of all, thank you for not
Speaker 10: liking Seinfeld. That show is one of uh that show.
Speaker 17: Drives me crazy. Seinfeld is one of the most overrated
Speaker 17: comedians ever. I will also like to add that I
Speaker 17: love curbyr. Enthusiasm, which is one of the greatest shows ever.
Speaker 17: The biggest difference between Curby Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld is
Speaker 17: there's no Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's just people will use it everyday life
Speaker 2: that reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. I mean, it
Speaker 2: was such a huge hit. I just I didn't really
Speaker 2: watch it because I was doing Sports Center and then,
Speaker 2: you know, I would see, you know, be recorded for me,
Speaker 2: and I'd watch and I'd go, okay. I mean the characters,
Speaker 2: I thought, what Jerry That was brilliant was the show's
Speaker 2: name Seinfeld. He made everybody around him funnier than him.
Speaker 2: He allowed them to be funnier than him. I mean
Speaker 2: Kramer and George, I mean Elaine, they were funnier than him,
Speaker 2: or at least the show was written that way. Now
Speaker 2: he does get all the credit because it's like Johnny
Speaker 2: Carson The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. If you're funny
Speaker 2: on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Johnny still gets
Speaker 2: credit even though you were hysterical. But Seinfeld, you know,
Speaker 2: he's good, He's just not my kind of comedian. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: I see.
Speaker 3: Not comparing everyday life situations to a Seinfeld episode. It's
Speaker 3: like a habit you have to break. You have to
Speaker 3: consciously be aware of I'm not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 3: Because the show applied to so many different situations that
Speaker 3: five times a day you could be like, oh, that's
Speaker 3: like that time's Heeinfeld, when you have to actually consciously say,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be that guy. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to do that anymore. Don't do that, just remove it
Speaker 3: out of your vocabulary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's hard even watching that movie What is
Speaker 2: it Unfrosted? Is that the story about pop tarts? And
Speaker 2: I started watching it, but you still see Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, it's an indelible mark that
Speaker 2: he left in TV history. So when you see him,
Speaker 2: you see an episode of Seinfeld, which is what it
Speaker 2: feels like I haven't gotten through that movie. I'm like
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes in, although I did like Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 6: Yes, sometimes if you're on a show like that, you're
Speaker 6: basically stuck with that show the rest of your life.
Speaker 6: You have one monstrous hit. But Julia Luis Dreyfus with VIEP,
Speaker 6: she topped herself. I mean that show was she was
Speaker 6: the focal point of VIEP and she was fantastic. I
Speaker 6: don't know how many awards she won, but that's as
Speaker 6: good as anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: That team.
Speaker 2: Well, that's as good at writing as I've ever heard
Speaker 2: on a comedy show. Correct. Veep has layer like you
Speaker 2: might get a line and then they already got another
Speaker 2: line in there, and you're like, wait a minute. You
Speaker 2: almost have to be able to rewind just to be
Speaker 2: able to get all the lines. Veep is spectacular. Like
Speaker 2: that level of comedy and that writing and the timing
Speaker 2: her delivery awesome, awesome, All right, let me take a break,
Speaker 2: get some more phone calls coming up. Reggie Miller will
Speaker 2: join us. Did Reggie take a shot at Lebron James
Speaker 2: the other night in the Minnesota Timberwolves gain Well, ask
Speaker 2: Reggie about that.
Speaker 1: Back after this, be sure to catch the live edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.
Speaker 2: Is this Family Times?
Speaker 7: Indeed it is.
Speaker 8: We're talking about TV shows And I was like, this
Speaker 8: is the greatest theme song ever.
Speaker 2: I know, Marvin did say that. It surprised me that
Speaker 2: you really feel that this is a great song.
Speaker 8: So I love it because it's the blackest song to
Speaker 8: the whitest show.
Speaker 2: Are there other examples of that? Succession?
Speaker 8: I was like, man, somebody can rap over this.
Speaker 3: Okay? Succession theme was great? Yeah, really good.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like the kind of theme song that when you
Speaker 3: heard it start, you got amped everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, this show's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 7: Well, Michael J. Fox, you know, he.
Speaker 2: Had a couple of bangers, man, Mike. Mike had a
Speaker 2: couple of great, great series that he was in, uh,
Speaker 2: Spin City, and then of course the Back to the
Speaker 2: Future franchise.
Speaker 6: Y asked Paul, I read a story a while back
Speaker 6: about Michael J. Fox and he was on Family Ties
Speaker 6: and it was going well, and he wanted to be
Speaker 6: in Back to the Future and they couldn't work it out.
Speaker 6: They couldn't loan him out for it. So I think
Speaker 6: everyone's heard this. They went with Eric Stoltz and it
Speaker 6: didn't work out. With Eric Stults. They had actually shot
Speaker 6: for a couple.
Speaker 2: Of weeks and he was shooting Family Ties and Back
Speaker 2: to the Future at the same time. So he would
Speaker 2: go from one, be done at five, and then he'd
Speaker 2: work all night. They'd be sleeping in the car, sleeping
Speaker 2: on the set. I mean, that was the That was
Speaker 2: a big deal for Michael J. Fox. There's a documentary
Speaker 2: that's on Michael J. Fox that's really good. Reggie Miller
Speaker 2: the other night Minnesota against Denver, and I remember hearing
Speaker 2: Red say it. I'm going I think that has to
Speaker 2: do with Lebron James, Yes, Marvin Yeah.
Speaker 8: So to give us some back context, so REGGI Miller
Speaker 8: was talking about Anthony Edwards saying, you know what, he's
Speaker 8: taking the blame. Yeah, and then he goes into what
Speaker 8: he said about you know who.
Speaker 18: Yes, we've got veteran status at our game. A lot
Speaker 18: of people from Mount Rushmore the like to deflect and
Speaker 18: point fingers that other here's a twenty two year old
Speaker 18: saying this.
Speaker 7: Is my moving gets a Mark flack.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is Mount Rushmore. Doesn't take long go
Speaker 2: through the rolodex of people on the Mount Rushmore active.
Speaker 2: So it could be Durant. I guess you could put
Speaker 2: Steph in there, but he hasn't pointed fingers. Or it
Speaker 2: could be Lebron James. I don't think we need to
Speaker 2: take a vote. I would say that that is directed
Speaker 2: at Lebron James. We'll talk to Reggie about that. I'm
Speaker 2: surprised that he Okay, you want to say. You know
Speaker 2: what I love about ant Man, he takes blame this
Speaker 2: on him. He's twenty two years of age and I
Speaker 2: got a lot of respect for that. You don't even
Speaker 2: need to go to Mount Rushmore deflecting.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Lebron is a finger point you know,
Speaker 2: pointing guy blaming everybody. I don't know if that's his
Speaker 2: reputation that I mean, is he passive aggressive? I mean,
Speaker 2: he's a lot of things, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: he's not taking any blame for Darvinham, is that what
Speaker 2: it is, or David Blatt or whoever else or other
Speaker 2: players players that he wanted, So we'll talk to Reggie
Speaker 2: about that. By the way, Bronnie James had a good
Speaker 2: day yesterday at the combine. By all accounts, a lot
Speaker 2: better shooter than people thought, and he's a lot bigger.
Speaker 2: He's gain probably ten to fifteen pounds since the season ended.
Speaker 2: Now here's one I think he's he's not even six two.
Speaker 2: I think he's six one and a half. So that's
Speaker 2: one of those where they go he's six three, and
Speaker 2: I go, I don't think he's sixty three, and then
Speaker 2: they measured him and he's six to one, and expect
Speaker 2: him to be six three. Yes when he gets by
Speaker 2: the time he's drafted, he'll be six three. Lebron will
Speaker 2: stretch you. But he had a pretty good day at
Speaker 2: the combine there. Another person who had a great day
Speaker 2: was Red Shepherd. Read Shepherd's vertical forty two inches. So
Speaker 2: that's a shooting guard and a jumping guard as well,
Speaker 2: and a very good shooter. He'll probably be a top
Speaker 2: five pick the Kentucky guard. But Bronni had a good day.
Speaker 2: Now I don't know. Here's Lebron in Cleveland. It shows up.
Speaker 2: Make sure everybody see him and his wife walk in
Speaker 2: middle of the first quarter and here they come. We're
Speaker 2: supposed to read something into that. I did, because everything
Speaker 2: with Lebron there's something that you read into it, because
Speaker 2: he doesn't just go you know what, Savan, what do
Speaker 2: you think we go to the game? Oh this late? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll call, We'll get tickets. If you wanted to go
Speaker 2: and you didn't want anybody to know you were there
Speaker 2: or didn't want to create fanfair, you probably getting a swede.
Speaker 2: He's front row. I must be in the front row.
Speaker 2: So he's a free agent. He's got a better chance
Speaker 2: to go to the NBA Finals in the East than
Speaker 2: he does in the West. Cleveland's a young team. Could
Speaker 2: you get Cleveland two draft your son? Lebron would then
Speaker 2: come home bookend his career coming back to Cleveland one
Speaker 2: more time. I like the now. I don't think Donovan
Speaker 2: Mitchell is going to be there next year, at least
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten that feeling this year. There's been a
Speaker 2: lot of people speculating on that, and then with this injury,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he's going to play Wednesday night,
Speaker 2: probably not. But could you see where Lebron goes? Oh
Speaker 2: I got some now if Donovan, Mitchell Stays, Garland Mobley,
Speaker 2: Jared Allen. Okay, they have some pieces there, and then
Speaker 2: if you had somebody like Lebron there as well. But
Speaker 2: it does this make the Lakers nervous? So what are
Speaker 2: the Lakers going to do other than maybe we package
Speaker 2: these three first round picks and we go out and
Speaker 2: get somebody. But that team is kind of in the middle.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're struggling to be a play in team. Well,
Speaker 2: and if you look at the East, are you worried
Speaker 2: about the Heat? You're worried about the Sixers? Are you
Speaker 2: worried about the Magic? You're worried about?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: Who you worried the Celtics obviously by the way, you
Speaker 2: know Atlanta might move on from Trey Young as well,
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe Tray Young in San Antonio? How about
Speaker 2: that with Victor Wemben Yama Tray Young helping Orlando's three
Speaker 2: point shooting woes. Just some chatter, just some chatter? Are
Speaker 2: you hearing just chatter now? I'm not hearing just some chatter,
Speaker 2: well chatter last night?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes see, I would have thought that after getting
Speaker 3: the number one overall pick in this year's draft, they're
Speaker 3: less likely to move Trey Young. Now you have somebody
Speaker 3: that you could pair with your star that's going to
Speaker 3: be another theoretically high value guy, adding a whole different
Speaker 3: element to the team. I would have thought that he
Speaker 3: would have.
Speaker 7: This is the Hawks.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if de Jonte Murray and Trey
Speaker 2: that that that that has worked, and maybe you could
Speaker 2: get a lot for Trey Young.
Speaker 6: We got a guard who's in his prime. He's twenty five,
Speaker 6: he's everything twenty six and eleven.
Speaker 2: Let's get rid of him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get that off our roster.
Speaker 2: Yucko. All right, more phone calls coming up. Reggie Aloisious
Speaker 2: Miller because he's taken a shot at Lebron. Reg will
Speaker 2: join us, coming up in about a half hours from now,
Speaker 2: final hour in this Tuesday straight Ahead
