Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Oh spreading the love state by state, city by city,
Speaker 2: day by day. Welcome to the program. It's a Friday edition,
Speaker 2: it's our one. It's a meat Friday. At that. We
Speaker 2: got burgers, we got buffalo wings, we got smoked potato salad.
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do? No, Lody, And
Speaker 2: maybe we don't call them Buffalo wings, considering we're building
Speaker 2: up enemies in Buffalo. Maybe we just call them wings today. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a situation yesterday, a woman big Buffalo Bills fan apparently
Speaker 2: thinks that we are not all in on the Buffalo
Speaker 2: Bills and want me to sing Happy Birthday to her boyfriend.
Speaker 2: But she doesn't like the show. I quickly found out,
Speaker 2: reading between the lines, being the investigative journalist that I am,
Speaker 2: that Jenna doesn't like the show, but her boyfriend does.
Speaker 2: In fact, Jenna's mother in law really loves the show
Speaker 2: as well. I'm getting the feeling that maybe Jenna and
Speaker 2: her husband don't like Jenna. Maybe that's the issue, just
Speaker 2: reading between the lines. Once again, We've got some of
Speaker 2: our best people on this as we try to figure
Speaker 2: out it. Do we have a bias against the Buffalo bills.
Speaker 2: Now we've had biases against people seating with the padres,
Speaker 2: seating within and out Burger Paulie some reason. The actor
Speaker 2: Bill Pullman. He hates Bill Pullman lately? Is he the
Speaker 2: late Bill Pullman? I don't want to do a stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 2: Oh he's still with me? Is there another actor that's
Speaker 2: kind of Bill Pullman?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Who's no longer with us? Oh? Is there somebody who
Speaker 2: gets mistaken for Bill Pullman? Checking? Okay? What was Bill
Speaker 2: Pullman in?
Speaker 4: Oh, Independence Day, Malice? Lots and lots of movies he
Speaker 4: plays the everyman.
Speaker 2: Was he Sandra Bullock's boyfriend who dies or Harry comes?
Speaker 2: He's in a coma and then he comes back to life?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that movie where she's in the hospital.
Speaker 2: That guy, Yeah yeah, But what's the name of the movie. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're thinking of Bill Paxton? Bill Paxton, that's the Bill Pullman. Okay,
Speaker 2: Bill Paxton passed away? Okay, that's the late great He.
Speaker 5: Was in Aliens. He was in lots of movies. Okay,
Speaker 5: rest in Power? Get I get those two mixed up
Speaker 5: a little bit. Okay, Well, welcome to the program. Yes, yes,
Speaker 5: Well what.
Speaker 4: Bothers me about yesterday's situation is we've always said that
Speaker 4: if you don't have a dog in the fight, you
Speaker 4: should root for the Bills or the Lions to make
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. You've said that one hundred times on
Speaker 4: the show, because it's a great story.
Speaker 2: One hundred and six times, to be exactly, at least, yes,
Speaker 2: one hundred and six.
Speaker 4: Times, we are pro Bills and pro Lions if there's
Speaker 4: no other dog in the fight.
Speaker 2: Yes, I go back to rooting for the Buffalo Braves,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite teams of all time. But uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I think what happened is that Jim Kelly.
Speaker 2: We didn't include Jim Kelly among the great quarterbacks of
Speaker 2: that era. And you know, guilty, guilty as charged. Maybe
Speaker 2: we spend too much time talking about Montana and Elway
Speaker 2: and Dan Marino. The Dan Marino part of it probably
Speaker 2: bothers the Buffalo Bills fans because they're like, he didn't
Speaker 2: win anything. You know, Jim went to at least four
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. You're right, You're right, So okay, but morale
Speaker 2: is high. Come on, let's go. Who's with me? Who
Speaker 2: has it better than we do? Oh? Yeah, yeah, thank
Speaker 2: you Todd smoked potato salad. And by the way, will
Speaker 2: be in Green Bay. I think they like us in
Speaker 2: Green Bay. I think they love us in Wisconsin. But
Speaker 2: we'll be at the bar on Home Grown Way. We're
Speaker 2: about three blocks from Lambeau. We would love for you
Speaker 2: to join us as we do three shows there leading
Speaker 2: up to the NFL Draft. And we'll do a meet
Speaker 2: and greet on Wednesday night, four to six at the
Speaker 2: And it's first come, first serve as far as getting
Speaker 2: in the door. Stat of the Day brought to you
Speaker 2: by Pandia America, the official trading cards of the program.
Speaker 2: And this first time we're brought to you by our
Speaker 2: friends at Maco. Most cars on the road could use

Speaker 2: DP Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Today.
Speaker 2: We'll come up with the poll question Play of the day,
Speaker 2: and we got the final four coming up on Saturday. Florida, Auburn,
Speaker 2: Houston and Duke. Duke was favored by four and a half.
Speaker 2: It went up to five and a half. I think
Speaker 2: that was two days ago. I kind of like Houston
Speaker 2: with the points there, Florida and Auburn. I'd like Auburn
Speaker 2: to win that out right now. Once again, entertainment purposes
Speaker 2: only if you want to hear the real professionals. Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick takes a Gamble podcast. We recorded that yesterday, Shay
Speaker 2: and Irving Bad Larry Dylan, Theographicsky of Edable at danpatrick
Speaker 2: dot Com. Women's Final four Tonight, Texas against South Carolina,
Speaker 2: Connecticut against UCLA. The Raiders extend Geno Smith and the
Speaker 2: Cardinals locked up one of my favorite players and he
Speaker 2: plays for a team that's not very good. The Cards
Speaker 2: locking up Trey McBride. He's a tight end. I don't
Speaker 2: think he scores many touchdowns, but it feels like he is.
Speaker 2: He's all over the place. He had one hundred and
Speaker 2: eleven catches and I just kept thinking, damn, this guy
Speaker 2: just he never stops, keeps coming backs. Now he's one
Speaker 2: of those He's good, but not that famous kind of guy.
Speaker 2: And you know, look, the league is littered with that.
Speaker 2: But when I watch the Cardinals play, I can't help
Speaker 2: but I can't take my eyes off Trey McBride just
Speaker 2: because he's involved constantly. But he got locked up by
Speaker 2: the Cardinals, so great, good for him. Let me see
Speaker 2: good morning. If you're watching on Peacock and our radio Philly,
Speaker 2: it's around the country. iHeartRadio Fox Sports Radio. I'd love
Speaker 2: to be talking about Jahn Morant hitting a game winner,
Speaker 2: but I can't because it's Joamorant and he did it again,
Speaker 2: hit the game winner against the heat. And look, you're
Speaker 2: in a playoff push jockeying for position here both teams
Speaker 2: are and Jah Morant had the game winner. Now this
Speaker 2: is the next game. After he did the gun gesture
Speaker 2: to Buddy healed, he got a talking to by the
Speaker 2: commissioner and then he goes out and then last night
Speaker 2: does another gun gesture as well. This is similar. I
Speaker 2: think to Hey, you got pulled over by the police
Speaker 2: and they give you a warning, Hey you're speeding, don't
Speaker 2: speed all right, officer? And then what do you do?
Speaker 2: You peel out and then you get pulled over again,
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? I just told you I'm
Speaker 2: going to give you a Yeah, I know. John Moran
Speaker 2: is forcing the NBA. He's forcing Adam Silver and he's
Speaker 2: really he's embarrassing the NBA now in a vacuum. Okay,
Speaker 2: is this a big deal?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 6: You know this.
Speaker 2: We have gestures, we have you know, unfortunately we have
Speaker 2: too much of that and this is but you were warned.
Speaker 2: You've already been suspended a couple of times with a
Speaker 2: real gun. So when you have priors and you have
Speaker 2: a history, I just don't want this to be ten
Speaker 2: years from now you go remember that guy with Memphis? Uh? Joher? Yeah? Lee?
Speaker 2: What could have been? I've seen phenomenal talents in all
Speaker 2: sports and then you just can't They can't help themselves.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if a teammate says, come on,
Speaker 2: do they have the guy who says, come on, your
Speaker 2: coach just got fired. I don't know what role he
Speaker 2: played in that. But you're in a playoff push, you've
Speaker 2: been suspended, and you point the imaginary gun again, like
Speaker 2: what are you doing? You came in as a feel
Speaker 2: good story, this guy out of nowhere? How did people
Speaker 2: miss on this guy at Murray's state? Well, maybe we're
Speaker 2: starting to realize maybe why they missed out. Maybe there
Speaker 2: was stuff that was leading up to this. Off the court,
Speaker 2: he gives you highlights every single night. He's fascinating, phenomenal,
Speaker 2: but he's flawed because I don't know if anybody is
Speaker 2: really taking ownership of him because he's not. Is his
Speaker 2: dad or his dad just a cheerleader here? I mean,
Speaker 2: these are serious things because now you're affecting a career.
Speaker 2: Now are you going to get suspended the rest of
Speaker 2: the regular season? Now you affect other people. If he
Speaker 2: wants to do something on Instagram live with a gun? Okay,
Speaker 2: you can be stupid, but this is where you're affecting
Speaker 2: an entire city, a coaching staff, and your teammates. Just
Speaker 2: play great basketball. You don't have to be a gangster.
Speaker 2: Just play be great. But you get to a certain
Speaker 2: point where he's over twenty five. It's like, man, when
Speaker 2: he was twenty two, he was Anthony Edwards. Well now
Speaker 2: we're twenty five, and you wonder where are we going
Speaker 2: with this? He's I don't know. Are you all in?
Speaker 2: Do you want to be a basketball player? Do you
Speaker 2: want to be a star, do you want to be
Speaker 2: a leader? Do you want to be the poster child?
Speaker 2: Do you want to be first or second team? All envy?
Speaker 2: And maybe you don't. I could only approach this. It's
Speaker 2: almost parental that I look at this like somebody you
Speaker 2: got to grab somebody and say and if this you know,
Speaker 2: the suspension didn't work where it cost him millions of
Speaker 2: dollars because you had a gun and then you had
Speaker 2: a gun again, and now you're doing the fake gun
Speaker 2: and then you do the fake gun again. At some
Speaker 2: point somebody's got to help him because he's not going
Speaker 2: to help himself. And maybe he doesn't know got a
Speaker 2: big contract here, but yeah, I saw it again last night,
Speaker 2: and we should be talking about what a clutch play.
Speaker 2: Got the ball, you went on the road and then
Speaker 2: he does that, All right, Well, come up with a
Speaker 2: pole question here. It's one of those where now the
Speaker 2: commissioner is going to have to act, and I don't
Speaker 2: know what he'll do. I mean, I think what he
Speaker 2: should do is say, I can't put up with this.
Speaker 2: Given how polarizing this issue is in America with guns,
Speaker 2: everything that's happened, we can't be cavalier about this. It
Speaker 2: can't be all fun in games and this goofy and hey,
Speaker 2: you know bang bang No, Nope, nope, no no. I
Speaker 2: would suspend him and then see how the team does
Speaker 2: the rest of the regular season, but that would be
Speaker 2: you know, I go to the old school. I go
Speaker 2: to the David Stern school, you know. And then John
Speaker 2: Moran says that he doesn't care what people saying anymore
Speaker 2: negative comments. Yeah, he says, I'm used to it pretty
Speaker 2: much a villain for two years now. Who made you
Speaker 2: a villain? You made you a villain, You were a
Speaker 2: feel good story. People loved watching you play. You made
Speaker 2: you nobody else did. And as I said when I
Speaker 2: came on, I'd love to be talking about man, I
Speaker 2: love it. Somebody wants the ball in a clutch situation
Speaker 2: and they hit a big shot and you're navigating your
Speaker 2: playoff seating here, but instead we're not. That's unfortunate. And
Speaker 2: I know you have NBA players say, oh you guys,
Speaker 2: just focus on the negative stuff. Help me not focus
Speaker 2: on the negative stuff. I'd be more than happy to
Speaker 2: talk about how great Joker was the other night and
Speaker 2: Steph Curry was the other night, which I did. But
Speaker 2: then you get these resets where you're like, come on,
Speaker 2: and especially a repeat offender. That's the disappointing part of
Speaker 2: all of this. Did you learn anything? Apparently it didn't.
Speaker 2: See what's pole question today?
Speaker 7: There's a fun one. It's not really a pole question,
Speaker 7: but it's a very fun fill in the blank, if
Speaker 7: you will, from Paul Yer, which fan base has no
Speaker 7: sense of humor about itself or their team? We can
Speaker 7: populate that? Okay, is that I start with the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: Then we might call this the Dallas Cowboys poll question.
Speaker 7: The teams that have no sense of humor about themselves?
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, we're trying to fill out a pole question
Speaker 4: about teams and fan bases that have no sense of
Speaker 4: humor about themselves. So when we put forth that name
Speaker 4: of that fan base, they're not gonna have a sense
Speaker 4: of humor about being on the pole question.
Speaker 7: It's like a cycle inspired by the Buffalo Bills, obviously
Speaker 7: of os Yankee Yankee fans.
Speaker 2: Yankees, Sure we could do that. Who else doesn't have
Speaker 2: a say?
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess the Lakers too?
Speaker 2: Really? Okay?
Speaker 4: Who else fan bases that are defensive fan bases when
Speaker 4: you call them out, like, oh, I don't want to
Speaker 4: say their names. But there's some sec schools that if
Speaker 4: you critique them, wait, wait.
Speaker 2: Wait, you can't come up with a book question. Maybe
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it.
Speaker 4: Okay, schools like Alabama and Ohio State. If you jab
Speaker 4: them lightly they go scorched earth back on and other
Speaker 4: schools as well. But those are like peak, what's.
Speaker 2: Going to happen? You mentioned Ohio State? Yeah, are they sensitive? Yes? Yes, Alabama, yes.
Speaker 7: They are actually Yeah, you know now that I think
Speaker 7: about a Michigan fans take themselves very serious.
Speaker 2: Yes, well about the national championship and the cheating scandal.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Michigan men.
Speaker 7: Take themselves very A Michigan man rich is in line for.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we can do that.
Speaker 8: Yes, Patriots fans over the years with the the flate
Speaker 8: gates and there's stealing signs and manipulative things.
Speaker 7: There were Patriots were targeted with two of the most ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Wait now you're me and a Patriot fan being defensive.
Speaker 7: I mean there obviously Roder Goodell. Both of those have
Speaker 7: been already debunked. The ideal gas law, and everybody knows
Speaker 7: the flight gates.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows spiking.
Speaker 7: Here we go, here's the stupid anyway, So I wouldn't
Speaker 7: put the.
Speaker 2: Play in the victims, Yeah, okay, I'd put the Patriots
Speaker 2: on there. Okay, all ranks, do you want to have
Speaker 2: that as the poll question. I thought we were gonna, maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of go positive today. It's a Friday.
Speaker 2: You thought that I did? I did that quickly changed here.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll come up with the poll question. Christopher
Speaker 2: mad Russo will join his coming head.
Speaker 1: That's a bad job out of.
Speaker 2: You, coffin in the middle of the right, add job
Speaker 2: out of you? I after this, thank you toa uh
Speaker 2: all right, we'll come up with the poll question. Got
Speaker 2: a play of the day, stat of the day, and
Speaker 2: it's a meet Friday. Morale is high and so are we.

Speaker 3: Covino and Rich.
Speaker 2: We'll settle on a poll question. Some phone calls coming
Speaker 2: up eight seven to seven to three DP show. Watch
Speaker 2: the Warriors against the Lakers. There was one play where
Speaker 2: Luca was trying to guard Steph Curry and it was
Speaker 2: as if Luca was on roller skates, and I just
Speaker 2: felt bad for him because I keep talking about the
Speaker 2: Lakers when they played really well, when everybody was healthy,
Speaker 2: they played really good defense. Luca is trying to play defense.
Speaker 2: He just can't play good defense. But Steph had him
Speaker 2: out Tom McKee and I just thought, you got to
Speaker 2: pick your poison with Steph. You're either going to be
Speaker 2: right on him on the perimeter and let him go
Speaker 2: to if he wants to drive, or you just say
Speaker 2: go ahead. And I think if I'm Luca, I just
Speaker 2: say all right, go ahead. You're eventually going to miss
Speaker 2: one of those three pointers. But you know that's a
Speaker 2: big win for Golden State going in there, and uh,
Speaker 2: you know you're fighting for survival now. Now, these games
Speaker 2: meet an awful lot to some of these teams. And
Speaker 2: if you're the Lakers, you do not want Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: I mean, try to hold off as long as you
Speaker 2: can because they're going to get you and they're going
Speaker 2: to go. They're the deepest team in the NBA, and
Speaker 2: I know we're waiting to see how they do when
Speaker 2: they have to win a game when the spotlight is
Speaker 2: on SGA. I mean, yes, we're all waiting for that
Speaker 2: chat Holmgren. We're waiting for that. And teams need to
Speaker 2: learn when you get in those situations. That's why I
Speaker 2: said with the Rockets, I don't expect much from the
Speaker 2: Rockets and the playoffs. It's almost a fact finding mission. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's let's go in and see what it feels like
Speaker 2: to play in these games. You know these situations and
Speaker 2: you learn from that. And then it's like the Celtics,
Speaker 2: you know, as great as they've been there still on
Speaker 2: a fact finding mission of what do we do? What's
Speaker 2: it like? Who do we count on? What happens when
Speaker 2: somebody struggles? Can somebody pick somebody else up? And now
Speaker 2: we're comfortable with the Celtics when they get there, whereas
Speaker 2: Okac we're not sure. Cleveland we're not sure because they
Speaker 2: haven't been there before, none of their players have been there.
Speaker 2: That's what you want to see come playoff time. And
Speaker 2: it never ceases to amaze me. It's formulaic. It feels
Speaker 2: like half court basketball. Can you play defense? Can you
Speaker 2: get a stop? There'll be a moment where you have
Speaker 2: a sloppy game and you pull out a win or
Speaker 2: you don't, and it could decide the series. All right, Seaton,
Speaker 2: what's the other pole question we have with John Morant related?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we have to figure out what Commissioner
Speaker 7: Adam Silver needs to do.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 7: I mean, does he do nothing, I think he already
Speaker 7: did that. Does he sit him down for the rest
Speaker 7: of the year.
Speaker 2: I would, But then once again, I don't want to
Speaker 2: punish you unless you understand you learn from the punishment,
Speaker 2: because if you have children and you give them a
Speaker 2: timeout and then all of a sudden, maybe there's an
Speaker 2: awareness of the next time it doesn't happen. They've given
Speaker 2: him a time, I mean a really expensive timeout and
Speaker 2: then another expensive timeout, and now what do you do.
Speaker 2: Are you going to say, hey, you promise not to
Speaker 2: do that again or else? I mean, I'm going to
Speaker 2: take the odds of he'll do it again. But do
Speaker 2: you you don't want to hurt the product of the
Speaker 2: NBA as well? I mean that's another thing you got
Speaker 2: a factor in. Commissioner would never admit that, but you
Speaker 2: know you do have to factor that in. Do I
Speaker 2: want to hurt this team when they get to the playoffs? Well,
Speaker 2: maybe just suspending for a week right before the end
Speaker 2: of the regular season and then see if that, I
Speaker 2: don't know, shakes him up a little bit. It's about
Speaker 2: players can get suspended, like Dreamond Green when he would
Speaker 2: get suspended for doing something stupid. He would hurt his team.
Speaker 2: He cost his team a championship by doing something stupid.
Speaker 2: That's when it should resonate until he sees what he's
Speaker 2: doing to his teammates. Then maybe he doesn't care. And
Speaker 2: I know maybe I spend way too much time on this,
Speaker 2: but I just he's an incredible talent. But I don't
Speaker 2: know what he's trying to prove. Are you a tough guy?
Speaker 2: Do you want to be a tough guy? Do you
Speaker 2: want to be a great basketball player? But I don't
Speaker 2: know what the commissioner said to him and Buddy Healed,
Speaker 2: But now what do you say? Because this isn't Buddy Healed.
Speaker 2: This is a different game, different opponent, and he's still
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. By the way, Steph had thirty
Speaker 2: seven last night, they win by seven. That's a big
Speaker 2: win for them, and Jimmy Butler is not trying to
Speaker 2: do too much. He had eleven points last night. But
Speaker 2: I do like that he's sort of when he was
Speaker 2: with Miami. I think we expected him to do more
Speaker 2: because I think he had to do more. I don't
Speaker 2: think he feels like he has to do that. He
Speaker 2: doesn't have to really push the envelope here. As far
Speaker 2: as the Lakers, Lebron had a big night. He had
Speaker 2: thirty three, Ruey Hatchemra had twenty four, Austin Reeves had
Speaker 2: thirty one. He was Luca who had this subpar game
Speaker 2: and he knew it after the game. But man, these
Speaker 2: are the games, and this can be a really good team.
Speaker 2: I mean, Austin Reeves is playing wonderful lost in all
Speaker 2: of this, Austin Reeves is a legitimate third option on
Speaker 2: this team and at times second option on this team.
Speaker 2: And maybe you say, well, he's got Luca to take
Speaker 2: a little prepice. Yeah, okay, but he's still he's he's
Speaker 2: producing and they're gonna need a three headed monster going
Speaker 2: into the playoffs here. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 4: There's only about five regular season games left for all
Speaker 4: the teams in the West. Denver, Los Angeles, Golden State, Memphis,
Speaker 4: and Minnesota were all within two games of each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is where I I want to get
Speaker 2: his attention. And this hurts his team. That's different. You know,
Speaker 2: he gets suspended and he might say, so, what big deal. Hey,
Speaker 2: I'm a victim here. You know, I don't care you
Speaker 2: know what you say about me. I got a hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars. So what But if you hurt his team,
Speaker 2: then maybe it resonates. Maybe let's see Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: No, buddy, happy to meet Friday boys.
Speaker 9: Dan.
Speaker 6: I've said this before, and you know, John Morant is
Speaker 6: an adult now, but he acts like a kid, and
Speaker 6: kids do stupid things, and over and over, he just doesn't.
Speaker 6: He just hasn't learned at all or doesn't seem to
Speaker 6: think that the rules apply to him, and it's it's
Speaker 6: kind of ridiculous and it's an he's I mean, he's
Speaker 6: an absolute talent, Dan, like you said, like there's no
Speaker 6: denying that, but he doesn't understand that it's going to
Speaker 6: ruin his NBA career and he's gonna end up a
Speaker 6: sad story of what could have been in my opinion,
Speaker 6: And like, I want him.
Speaker 2: To succeed, I really do.
Speaker 6: But I heard you guys talking about Carmelo getting his
Speaker 6: jersey retired yesterday, which led to Lebron of course, and
Speaker 6: I just wanted to chi him in, Dan, because when
Speaker 6: I think of Lebron getting his number retired as a Laker,
Speaker 6: it's it's not an automatic to me because when I
Speaker 6: sit and think about all the jerseys and the Raptors
Speaker 6: and in la you know, Magic Kareem will check the logo.
Speaker 6: I mean even chick Hern. I mean, what is Lebron's
Speaker 6: Laker moment that enshrines them into Laker lore. I have
Speaker 6: no moments in my mind right now as I think
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 2: Well, the all time leading score, I would say that,
Speaker 2: and he won the title. No grant, it didn't win
Speaker 2: the title in Los Angeles actually on you know, the
Speaker 2: home floor there because they were in the bubble. But
Speaker 2: thank you bout it. Great to hear from it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: becoming the all time leading score, Yeah, that is enough.
Speaker 2: And I don't care who goes to the rafters. I
Speaker 2: have nothing against Lebron. In fact, I'm a Lebron fan.
Speaker 2: But if you want to retire jersey, you want to
Speaker 2: retire mellows like I don't, I don't care. It's really
Speaker 2: about the fan base. If you want a statue, great,
Speaker 2: You want a jersey up there, great, because you know
Speaker 2: from where I sit, it doesn't matter. I mean, I
Speaker 2: if you're going to put la Ello jersey and the Raptors,
Speaker 2: just put Bernard Kings in there. I just feel like
Speaker 2: I'm the caretaker for a previous generation with players letting
Speaker 2: people know. It's like when I hear stephen A. Smith
Speaker 2: said or quoted as saying, Steph Curry, I guess a
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer said to stephen A Steph Curry wouldn't
Speaker 2: average seventeen when this Hall of Famer played. But like,
Speaker 2: if you're if you're the Hall of Famer, why is
Speaker 2: it off the record? I do you feel strongly about this,
Speaker 2: put your name behind it. If there truly is somebody
Speaker 2: who said this to stephen A, Hey, he wouldn't get
Speaker 2: seventeen in our day. Okay, how about we have a discussion.
Speaker 2: Why don't you if you're going to say to stephen A,
Speaker 2: then why don't you say, hey, come on the show.
Speaker 2: I mean, that'd be the first thing I would say.
Speaker 2: If I'm Steven A and a Hall of Famer said, hey,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't average seventeen a game, I'd say, why don't
Speaker 2: you come on the show? If not, why are you
Speaker 2: telling me this? Jay Williams at least came out and said,
Speaker 2: having you know, name the guy, because it's stupid. Steph
Speaker 2: Curry is still the greatest shooter in the game and
Speaker 2: has a great handle. All you have to do is
Speaker 2: go back and you go, oh, well, Steph would get
Speaker 2: roughed up. If you do a little homework, you'll find
Speaker 2: that Nate Archibald was probably five ten at the most,
Speaker 2: maybe won sixty five. And I got to see him
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. He led the NBA in scoring an assist
Speaker 2: for a last place Tom once again, he's probably five
Speaker 2: to ten one sixty five and they played grown ass
Speaker 2: men basketball back then, and Nate was not a great shooter,
Speaker 2: but he would beat you off the dribble. So you're
Speaker 2: telling me Steph wouldn't be able to average twenty five. Nate,
Speaker 2: I think averaged close to thirty. Come on, I'm all
Speaker 2: about protecting eras I am. Jerry West could play today,
Speaker 2: Elgin Baylor could play today, And you want to put
Speaker 2: Giannis or Joker back in the seventies. Yes, would they
Speaker 2: be great, Yes, would they dominate?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 2: Would Lebron Yes they would. But you know, we just
Speaker 2: have these silly and I don't even know if they're real.
Speaker 2: But you can create a whole segment on a show
Speaker 2: by just saying somebody told me, tell me who you are.
Speaker 2: That's what I want to know and then tell me
Speaker 2: why you think that. But we get caught up in
Speaker 2: Bob Coosey couldn't be Bob Coosey. Now, Well, if Bob
Speaker 2: Coosey came up in the AAU era and was able
Speaker 2: to be exposed to all the basketball and you know,
Speaker 2: travel and training and all of those things, would he
Speaker 2: be able to play? I'm guessing he would be. Bill
Speaker 2: Russell wouldn't be Bill Russell, he wouldn't Would he be
Speaker 2: able to play today? Yes, he's one of the most
Speaker 2: athletic players I've ever seen. Oh, Wilt wouldn't be able
Speaker 2: to dominate. No, I know he wouldn't be. But if
Speaker 2: Wilt was coming up now, Wilt would be a different player.
Speaker 2: It's just I hate when we do this because if
Speaker 2: you're great, you'll you'll want to be great whenever you play.
Speaker 2: And Jerry West would have been a great player today.
Speaker 2: Walt Frasier would have been a great player today. Yes, Mom,
Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain looked the way he looked without weight training.
Speaker 2: You imagine if a every single day go into the gym,
Speaker 2: you know what wol chamber would have looked like. And
Speaker 2: then he was doing all this with low top convers
Speaker 2: on Actually he wore high tops. Excuse me, Yeah, Bill
Speaker 2: Russell wore low to even more impressive. And nobody ever
Speaker 2: got a sprained ankle? How is that? Bill Russell blocked
Speaker 2: Moore shot, Lenno Wilt probably blocked more shots than anybody.
Speaker 2: These guys didn't have sprained ankles. Bill Russell's going a
Speaker 2: different speed. Yes, yes, Janis had thirty five, seventeen and
Speaker 2: twenty assists last night. He went joker. He went joker
Speaker 2: on the seventy six ers last night. That's awesome. We
Speaker 2: forget about him, like he graduated to the Oh, that's right,
Speaker 2: and his team isn't that good? Not going to be
Speaker 2: playing for a championship. Maybe his days are numbered in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: Who knows. But these players, all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: have you seen this guy? To man, that guy's really good.
Speaker 2: To that guy, he's gonna win the MVP. Man, he
Speaker 2: better win a championship. Then he wins championship, and then
Speaker 2: what do we do? We move on. That's exactly what
Speaker 2: happened with him. He's still a marvelous player, but we
Speaker 2: don't focus on them because they're not a marquee team. Anymore. Yes, Mars, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Giannis is on scholarship, But I ad one question, does
Speaker 2: it really count because he did that against the seventy
Speaker 2: six ers? Wow? Master Risky? Wow? Well, yes, Todd, I
Speaker 2: was gonna say the same thing if you're doing it
Speaker 2: against the team that's not You know that the Maxie's
Speaker 2: gone for the year. Em bead is at You know,
Speaker 2: how do you hold on here? How many times have
Speaker 2: I said to you somebody had a big game like
Speaker 2: scored fifty, and I go, did they play the Wizards?
Speaker 2: And chances are they played the Wizards?
Speaker 4: Yes, Paulie, let's quickly play No your seventy six ers.
Speaker 4: The starting lineup that went against Giannis last night? If
Speaker 4: anyone can name two, you get ten bonus points. I
Speaker 4: don't know what that means. Ten bonus points? Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: who can name two starting six ers that the Bucks
Speaker 4: space last night?
Speaker 2: Marvin? Somebody who'd last named Milton? Nope, shake Milton, Speedy Claxton.
Speaker 2: This might be the toughest game in show history. And
Speaker 2: no Tyrese Maxy Nope, damn that was no. Joe l
Speaker 2: embiid Paul George, No, Paul George?
Speaker 7: What what about Johnson?
Speaker 2: I would have given it to you.
Speaker 4: Not a Johnson on the roster.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, no williams uh Nerlings Noel, give you a
Speaker 2: blop for the reference.
Speaker 4: Okay, dang, we could go all day Gershawan Yabacile get
Speaker 4: twenty two, okay, Justin Edwards Porten eight okay, adem bona
Speaker 4: ad em not Adam adem bona. Okay, he had it
Speaker 4: was full bona. He had twenty eight points. Okay, I
Speaker 4: had to do it. Dan talks Friday, Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 4: it's Friday. Jared or Jared Butler if he was European
Speaker 4: fourteen points. You may know this guy. He's had a
Speaker 4: nice season. Quentin Grimes.
Speaker 2: Oh that's the guy, Marvin. That's who you were looking for.
Speaker 4: That was twenty four and ten.
Speaker 2: He's had a couple of big games. Yeah, you're seventy
Speaker 2: six ers. Wow, yikes. Andrew in Washington, Andrew, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 9: Good morning, Dan.
Speaker 10: Then I hope my connection is better this time.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 10: That of the year is that Jim Harbaugh having more
Speaker 10: rushing yards than Bo Jackson. That's pretty amazing. I called
Speaker 10: about the Lakers. I think they did have a positive
Speaker 10: loss last night. If you look at it. They only
Speaker 10: lost by seven points, and their bench scored the lowest
Speaker 10: of the season, only seven points, So their starters really
Speaker 10: did win the game, almost win the game for him
Speaker 10: against Golden State. And I think they're going into the
Speaker 10: playoffs with a good stretch. I know they don't want
Speaker 10: to meet up with OKC, and I agree with that,
Speaker 10: but I think they're really hitting their stride. They're really
Speaker 10: going to get going as the playoffs come together. So
Speaker 10: I just want to say that, and guys have a
Speaker 10: good weekend.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Andrew. Yeah, I mean you can look at
Speaker 2: it and say the bench didn't have a great performance,
Speaker 2: but you know, aside from staff, I mean, Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: didn't have a great game. Who's the kid out of
Speaker 2: Santa Clara Brandon pod Zimski Desk. He's good. Yeah, Like
Speaker 2: he's in one of those you watch and you go, huh,
Speaker 2: got the headband on your He doesn't look like he
Speaker 2: looks like somebody out of the Will Ferrell basketball movie.
Speaker 2: Was that Jackie Moon semi pro? You'd say, yeah, he's
Speaker 2: one of the guys on the on the floor there.
Speaker 2: He's out of Santa Clair. I think yes, Pauline Brandon Podemski.
Speaker 2: I think it's the pronunciation. We should just call him
Speaker 2: ski for three ski Ski. All right, we'll take a break.

Speaker 11: not a little brother anymore. So yeah, I want to
Speaker 11: know your take on my San Diego padres and yeah,
Speaker 11: what tips you can give me, I'm becoming a father.
Speaker 2: Well, just be there for your wife, Just support her
Speaker 2: and do little things for even after the baby is born,
Speaker 2: give her an hour where you take over or you
Speaker 2: just do things for her, small things. And then once
Speaker 2: your daughter starts to be aware of who you are
Speaker 2: and the surroundings, just spend time, play house, dress up,
Speaker 2: all of those things. Have fun with it, Embrace it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, sen I would say too, understand that nobody knows
Speaker 7: what the hell they're doing, certainly for the first couple
Speaker 7: of years. So give yourself and your partner some grace.
Speaker 7: Understand that nobody knows what the hell's going on either,
Speaker 7: and you're all just trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: We got my son home, our first child, and I
Speaker 2: remember we put him on the bed and my wife
Speaker 2: and I looked at each other and we go, what
Speaker 2: are we doing? We just we had no You just go, man,
Speaker 2: he's he's gonna be there for ever. Yeah, he's we
Speaker 2: gotta take care of him. There's no nurses around here.
Speaker 2: What are we doing? And then you just figure it out.
Speaker 2: Have a sense of humor, You must have patience, and
Speaker 2: you must have a sense of humor.
Speaker 7: Yes, see, Brian bringing my wife and son home from
Speaker 7: the hospital. We stopped at Bruger's first to get some lunch,
Speaker 7: so like we didn't even go home yet. We stopped
Speaker 7: to go get like a bagel sandwich, and we while
Speaker 7: sitting there, we're looking at this kid and we're like,
Speaker 7: oh my god, what the hell are we going to do?
Speaker 7: And we were thinking about our dog at the time,
Speaker 7: Ruby and my wife saved half of her bagel ted
Speaker 7: like tuna on it too.
Speaker 2: I think it had tuna.
Speaker 7: She saved half of her bagels that when we walked in,
Speaker 7: the dog would smell the food and be like, oh wow,
Speaker 7: this is great. Like we gave the dog half of
Speaker 7: the sandwich to be like, oh look, ever since this
Speaker 7: kid got here, yeah, I get great food now.
Speaker 2: A little bait and switch there. We had no idea
Speaker 2: what the hell we were doing. We're like, why they
Speaker 2: park in Texas High Park? What's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 12: Hey, I was just having a question about your frustration
Speaker 12: comparing you know, NBA superstars from different eras and why
Speaker 12: we don't do that. It seems like with NFL players
Speaker 12: or MLB players, like I've never heard a segment on.
Speaker 12: You know, Johnny Uniteds would get cooked in today's NFL.
Speaker 12: So just your thoughts on Park.
Speaker 2: I just had a conversation with the Danis during the
Speaker 2: commercial break. I'm like, we don't do that with baseball.
Speaker 2: Nobody says, Man stand Usual wouldn't be able to be
Speaker 2: a great hitter today, or Ted Williams, Hey Ruth, Like,
Speaker 2: we don't do that, but we do that with basket football.
Speaker 2: Nobody goes, you know, Bart Starr wouldn't be able to
Speaker 2: play today, Bob Greasy wouldn't be able to play today.
Speaker 2: That's the way, you know, we pick and choose with this, Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because baseball changes less than other sports, the physicality,
Speaker 4: the structure. Baseball players are bigger and stronger now, but
Speaker 4: they're generally not drastically bigger than they were fifty years ago.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the oh no, they are if you look,
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth was not a big guy in his day.
Speaker 2: He was, but I think it was Tim Kirkchin who
Speaker 2: said that Babe Ruth was the size of rich Aurelia,
Speaker 2: who was a shortstop for the San Francisco Giants. They
Speaker 2: just look bigger back then. Black and white. Yeah, Ray
Speaker 2: Ruth he can take a Nepe Christopher mad Dog Russo
Speaker 2: Well John is coming up
