Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dane Stan Patrick Show. Well, did he do it? Did
Speaker 1: he try to do it? Was there intent? There? Will
Speaker 1: the NBA have anything to say about what happened last
Speaker 1: night as Marcus Morris steps on the back of the
Speaker 1: shoe of the bad ankle of Luca don Chick. Not
Speaker 1: that had any impact on the outcome of this game,
Speaker 1: but it might have an impact on the outcome of
Speaker 1: the next game if the NBA decides to do something.
Speaker 1: Luca and the MAVs were overwhelmed by the Clippers last night.
Speaker 1: Paul George came out of a funk, out of a depression,
Speaker 1: a dark spot according to him, and he and Kawhi
Speaker 1: look like what you would expect from the Clippers. But
Speaker 1: the story that was sort of the story within the
Speaker 1: story was what happened with Luca don Chick. He already
Speaker 1: has a tender ankle, Chris stops porzingis is not able
Speaker 1: to play due to an injured knee, and then you
Speaker 1: have a play where Morris steps on the back of
Speaker 1: Luca don Chick's ankle, the bad ankle, and says that
Speaker 1: he did not try to do it. Luca thought otherwise,
Speaker 1: this is what he had to say. I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk to him. You know, he's just saying a
Speaker 1: lot of best stuff to me all the game, you know,
Speaker 1: and just I don't want to talk to him. I
Speaker 1: just got to move on, you know, like I say.
Speaker 1: But it's going to have their own opinion, and you know,
Speaker 1: I just hope he wasn't intensive. And that's if that
Speaker 1: was intentional, that's really better. Well. Rick Carlysle, the MAVs
Speaker 1: head coach, thought it was intentional. He got tossed from
Speaker 1: the game last night. But it was an impressive win
Speaker 1: by the Clippers, rolling the Mavericks. They're up three games
Speaker 1: to two. The Nuggets come back to beat the Jazz
Speaker 1: to stay alive. You got Magic Bucks, Thunder, Rockets, Blazers,
Speaker 1: Lakers all on today and tonight's agenda. This program brought
Speaker 1: to you by the great folks at Rockauto dot com.

Speaker 1: for this outlaw Porsche, this nineteen seventy three RS that
Speaker 1: I'm doing, and I found it. I found it on
Speaker 1: rocato dot com, so I was able to order that,
Speaker 1: got it delivered and ready to go. I'm waiting for
Speaker 1: the bigger reveal on this Porsche. And once again my
Speaker 1: brother reminded me. I said Porsche yesterday or day before
Speaker 1: on the show, and he goes, it's Porsche, and I go, okay,
Speaker 1: he owns them. He's the one that introduced me to him.
Speaker 1: So Porsche's and so I'm waiting for the big review.
Speaker 1: I got to get the interior done and then I'll
Speaker 1: bring it in and put it on display here for you,
Speaker 1: my stone gray Porsche. Yes, point it's not Corvetti. No,
Speaker 1: it's not Camaro E. But it's like if you see
Speaker 1: somebody drive a Corvette they always have their fog lights
Speaker 1: on those because the lights flip up. No, they don't
Speaker 1: have their head lights on the little ones, oh like always.
Speaker 1: And having been a Corvette owner, when they drive by you,
Speaker 1: they go like this, they give you the V. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So these were just things that I did not know
Speaker 1: I would have somebody who would. I thought it was
Speaker 1: the peace on And I said to my brothers, said, man,
Speaker 1: I got all these people drive Vets. They give me
Speaker 1: the peace sign. He goes, that's a V for Vett.
Speaker 1: I go, oh, okay, because I wave back. I'm not
Speaker 1: even given the V back, Like, hey, how are you?
Speaker 1: Is there a Porsche signal? Like a big can't do
Speaker 1: a p No need to Now you're just you know
Speaker 1: that you're a badass. You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: You're just like you just nod like yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: hate to see them pol sign if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. All right, so welcome to the program. Already
Speaker 1: in progress. We'll check in with our good friend Chris Haynes.
Speaker 1: He covers the NBA inside the Bubble for Yahoo, and
Speaker 1: he'll give us his thoughts on what happened last night.
Speaker 1: Does the NBA do anything to Marcus Morris, so the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, Maybe there's nothing to say. Maybe I'm overreacting.
Speaker 1: It's hard to judge intent. By the way, back to
Speaker 1: rock Auto dot com, tell them we sent you right
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick and the how did you hear about us? Box?
Speaker 1: So they know we sent you all the partit card
Speaker 1: truck wherever we need at rock Auto dot com. Also

Speaker 1: to enter a submission here a possible topic for podcast
Speaker 1: be in the contest. It ends at the end of
Speaker 1: the month, so you only have a couple more days
Speaker 1: to do so. And the contest. The reaction has been unbelievable.
Speaker 1: We have podcast ideas from all over the world, and
Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday that we had one from Ireland, we
Speaker 1: had one from Real, one from Germany, and they're all
Speaker 1: over the map as far as topic. So if you
Speaker 1: have a topic and you thought this might be a
Speaker 1: great podcast, you have your chance. This is the idea
Speaker 1: that I had when I started this a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, and thanks to iHeartRadio, we're able to do this. Also,
Speaker 1: we're in the podcast business. I have a couple of
Speaker 1: podcasts that are being announced today. The Battle for LA
Speaker 1: tells the story of the birth of professional basketball in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and how the two different franchises shaped the
Speaker 1: NBA and shifted the influences sports and culture on the
Speaker 1: West Coast. So the project is currently being developed for
Speaker 1: television and film by a great producer out there, Michael Sugar,
Speaker 1: who won an Academy Award for Spotlight. Also, Two Guys
Speaker 1: from Hollywood is another podcast that we launched today and
Speaker 1: another one called Meeting Tom Cruise. So very excited about
Speaker 1: those partnerships with iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia and thanks for all the
Speaker 1: support there Pull Question Mick Love and Final Hour what
Speaker 1: do you have for me? By? We have college football
Speaker 1: this weekend. Central Arkansas, who's going to play North Dakota
Speaker 1: State next month or in October, is facing Austin pe
Speaker 1: That'll be at nine eastern on Saturday. My governors are
Speaker 1: going to be an action against the Central Arkansas Pippins.
Speaker 1: That'll be at nine eastern on ESPN. Is there a
Speaker 1: better chant cheer than when Fly Williams was at Austin
Speaker 1: PEA Fly Williams, I think he led the nation in
Speaker 1: scoring and Austin pe had I think Lake Kelly might
Speaker 1: have been their head coach and Roy Ebron might have
Speaker 1: been their star big man. But Fly Williams was a
Speaker 1: great score, and the fans would say, the fly is open,
Speaker 1: Let's go pee, Like, how great is that? The fly
Speaker 1: is open, Let's go pee? National TV. Though Austin p
Speaker 1: against a Central Arkansas game, they going for that one.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going. I'd have to check
Speaker 1: with Rhees, Davis and Herbie, but I'm going to guess
Speaker 1: they probably won't go to Central Arkansas. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to have to wait and
Speaker 1: see there. Let me see NFL in fifteen days starts. God,
Speaker 1: can you imagine two weeks from tomorrow we've got the NFL.
Speaker 1: I did see this story, and look, I try to
Speaker 1: I try to give you positive news when I hear it,
Speaker 1: when I see it, when I'm told about it, you know,
Speaker 1: But there's also the reality the Oklahoma Sooners they were
Speaker 1: preparing for, you know, yesterday's practice, a scrimmage was on
Speaker 1: the docket, and the head coach, Lincoln Riley got the
Speaker 1: results from another round of COVID nineteen testing. The Sooners
Speaker 1: had gone without positive test after players returned to campus
Speaker 1: in June, then saw a spike a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago and nine players tested positive when they return. You know,
Speaker 1: the downfall college football is going to be student on campus.
Speaker 1: If you have the football team, if you can quarantine
Speaker 1: them and you don't have in person classes, you can
Speaker 1: pull this off. That's just the reality of this. Science
Speaker 1: tells us that is the reality of this. Universities across
Speaker 1: the country of welcome students back on campus and started
Speaker 1: the in person learning, only to reverse course within a
Speaker 1: couple of days. And as I said last week, if
Speaker 1: I'm the coach in one of these big conferences and
Speaker 1: the amount of money that's at stake here, I say
Speaker 1: to my school president, have them on campus, but haven't
Speaker 1: be online. It's the only way we can do this.
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, the conspiracy theorist in me
Speaker 1: would be that might be why you're seeing some of
Speaker 1: this on some of these campuses. And then it turns
Speaker 1: out you're going to find that most of these schools,
Speaker 1: if they're going to pull this off, are going to
Speaker 1: be doing this. So Lincoln Riley has an entire group,
Speaker 1: a position group. He didn't want to say what it was,
Speaker 1: is it quarterbacks or whoever. They didn't have anybody who
Speaker 1: could have played if they had a game coming up
Speaker 1: this week at that position. So he's got these concerns
Speaker 1: here of trying to be able to pull this off.
Speaker 1: And it's not just you know, students going to class,
Speaker 1: it's just students being students. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: confidence you can have Monday night. The Sooner has had
Speaker 1: seventeen active cases among players seventeen eight of the nine
Speaker 1: expected to return to practice after testing negative, and we've
Speaker 1: had this outbreak of false positives. I understand all of
Speaker 1: these things here. I just think it's really hard for
Speaker 1: college football to be able to do this because it
Speaker 1: comes down to students being students. As a professional, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can demand certain things from my players. Let them
Speaker 1: know what's at stake, Remind them what's at stake. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you have to remind them a couple of times. Just
Speaker 1: ask the Marlins or the St. Louis Cardinals. But this
Speaker 1: is why you have NFL teams who don't want their
Speaker 1: quarterbacks all together in case something happens where everybody comes
Speaker 1: down with a positive COVID nineteen test. The big issue
Speaker 1: with the NFL this, according to a source, is wait
Speaker 1: till week's seven, eight nine, because you're going to have
Speaker 1: players who are gonna act like their twenty three, twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, normal people, normal things, and they're
Speaker 1: going to get loose. He said, to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that. Also, what happens when a team realizes that
Speaker 1: they're not going to make the playoffs, what happens week twelve.
Speaker 1: Those are things just to keep it on. I'm told
Speaker 1: they're going to get off, they're going to start. The
Speaker 1: question is going to be midway through the season or
Speaker 1: the latter part of the season. And it's just like baseball.
Speaker 1: Baseball had a hiccup early and everybody that got everybody's attention. Here.
Speaker 1: Hopefully they're able to do this if it means students,
Speaker 1: you know, I wondered if you could have had students
Speaker 1: come on campus up till Thanksgiving and then had the
Speaker 1: football team come on after that or vice versa. Could
Speaker 1: you do it, but you know, like the football players
Speaker 1: would be coming in just to play football, and then
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving you'd already have the season over with, or
Speaker 1: at least the regular season over with, and then you'd
Speaker 1: have the students come on campus, or could you have
Speaker 1: the students come on campus stay till Thanksgiving, which is
Speaker 1: going to happen to most universities. After that you have
Speaker 1: football season starting. I don't I thought that that might
Speaker 1: be the approach that they would have, but probably not
Speaker 1: not able to salvage that. And they're still talking about
Speaker 1: spring football, and by all accounts, from what I'm told,
Speaker 1: it sounds interesting they got to stop. My source said yesterday,
Speaker 1: you should probably clarify this on your show and let
Speaker 1: people know it's not spring football. This is winter football.
Speaker 1: He said, because win or football you can actually pull off.
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult for the You know, if
Speaker 1: you played winter football in the Big Ten, imagine Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Ohio like these are going to be tough places to
Speaker 1: play in the winter. They play in the fall and
Speaker 1: it gets cold and you're on the cusp. But that's
Speaker 1: why my source said, say winter football, because spring football
Speaker 1: is not going to happen, but winter football could. Let's
Speaker 1: say you started in January and had January and February
Speaker 1: and then you had championship playoffs or whatever in March.
Speaker 1: That is something to keep an eye on. Yeah, po
Speaker 1: a guy know who is a position coach at a
Speaker 1: big college football program. He said, the single biggest thing
Speaker 1: they're worried about is a player putting himself in a
Speaker 1: bad position off campus and not letting them know before
Speaker 1: he gets back into a team meeting or team thing.
Speaker 1: He said, that's what they're stressing. He said that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be one guy who takes down the entire room,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to convince their players that if you
Speaker 1: go out out with a person or do something where
Speaker 1: you think you're in compromise yourself physically, let us know
Speaker 1: before you walk back in the building, call someholse. You
Speaker 1: will not have your scholarship pulled. You will not be
Speaker 1: in that much trouble. You'll be in bigger trouble we
Speaker 1: find out that you brought it back to the room.
Speaker 1: You just hold your breath here and yeah, I just
Speaker 1: give you the information I get. I don't politicize, I
Speaker 1: don't read into it. I'm not hopeful for anything other
Speaker 1: than having football. I'm hopeful. I take no glee. I'll
Speaker 1: never say I told you so. Never. Don't want to
Speaker 1: be that person, because, let's face it, I want to
Speaker 1: watch college football I want to watch the onfil I
Speaker 1: don't want people to lose their jobs because they have
Speaker 1: nothing to cover. It makes my job a whole lot
Speaker 1: easier to come in on Monday morning and talk about
Speaker 1: how great the NFL was or college football over the weekend.
Speaker 1: So you got me club. I think Big Ten football
Speaker 1: in February sounds terrible because like it's'd beat of the weather.
Speaker 1: I think that's like, who's going to want to play
Speaker 1: an exhibition in zero degree weather and not look like?
Speaker 1: I know, but what else are you're going to do?
Speaker 1: There's so much money at stake here. I think you'd
Speaker 1: put a bad I think you'd almost put a bad
Speaker 1: version of yourself out. Paul and I were just sort
Speaker 1: of arguing off fair that's playing Minnesota and zero. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're out Yeah, they're outdoor. It's like,
Speaker 1: but people don't care. There's no other option, you know.
Speaker 1: This is what I was told. It's about tuition and
Speaker 1: TV tuition for colleges and TV money for college football programs.
Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. You if you take
Speaker 1: away everything, sort it all out, put it to the side,
Speaker 1: and say what is this all about? It's about colleges
Speaker 1: getting tuition with you being on campus, and it's about
Speaker 1: getting TV money for your football programs. That's what's at stake.
Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. It's not about anything.
Speaker 1: We got to give kids the opportunity. This is about.
Speaker 1: This is a you know, billions of dollars here, local economy,
Speaker 1: like all of this stuff. I get it, and I'm
Speaker 1: hopeful and I wish that we're able to pull this off.
Speaker 1: I just don't know, because students on campus that's the key.
Speaker 1: You know. These programs said, hey, we had no positive tests.
Speaker 1: Well that's when you have quarantined your football program in June.
Speaker 1: But you can't do that in September with students on campus.
Speaker 1: Let me see anything else needs to be mentioned here?
Speaker 1: Brad and North Carolina joins us. Hey Brad, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hey? DP, Hey, I just want to wait
Speaker 1: in on the one and done conversation. You know, it
Speaker 1: seems like we just pile on Cal all the time.
Speaker 1: But it seems like coach k gets a pass. I mean,
Speaker 1: ever since he's adopted this one and done mentality, he's
Speaker 1: only won one championship. Also, and if you go back
Speaker 1: and look, I would say over the last five years.
Speaker 1: But I have a champion obviously this past year. But
Speaker 1: look at the last four champions of Virginia didn't have
Speaker 1: any five stars. Really Villanova, North Carolina, Hell, we couldn't
Speaker 1: even get five star talent because the NCAA investigation and
Speaker 1: then Villanova before that. So I think experiences, you know,
Speaker 1: really key when you get to March. Oh, no, you're right,
Speaker 1: and look, I understand why Col's bringing these kids in. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's hard to pass up talent, but I still think
Speaker 1: that Kentucky would be better served in not having so
Speaker 1: many one and duns, that you have a couple of
Speaker 1: sophomores or juniors, because Villanova has sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Speaker 1: Virginia sophomores, juniors and seniors. Whereas you don't get the
Speaker 1: marquee guy. But you arguing, that's why these teams are
Speaker 1: always dangerous in the NCAA experience. Every single year you'll
Speaker 1: have somebody who goes to the lad eight Final four,
Speaker 1: and you'll go why they got experienced? Like Wisconsin, didn't
Speaker 1: Wisconsin knock off the thirty eight and o Kentucky wildcounts
Speaker 1: like Sam Decker, Frank Kaminski Kanig, like you had experience,
Speaker 1: and that experience. How many times has experience overshadow or
Speaker 1: win against just pure talent because you're trying to take
Speaker 1: the aau out of these kids. Put him in there,
Speaker 1: and Kyl's discipline, he makes him play defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a great coach, but it just goes to show
Speaker 1: you you can have a whole lot of talent. That
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have a great team. And even when
Speaker 1: you have a really good team, that doesn't mean you're
Speaker 1: gonna win a championship. All it takes one bad game
Speaker 1: for somebody who acts like a freshman, which is normal,
Speaker 1: as opposed to that team who goes, we're kind of
Speaker 1: cool here. You know, we've been in this situation before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that Vermont, that what do you call Virginia team? Kyle
Speaker 1: Guy junior, DeAndre Hunter redshirt sophomore, So that was his
Speaker 1: third year on campus, ty Drome junior. There's a bunch
Speaker 1: of they were almost all juniors. Yeah, and just having
Speaker 1: that experience and then you have a really good coach. Yes, mccleman,
Speaker 1: I've been dying to ask Villanova coach Jay Wright, should
Speaker 1: he takes no, no, no, no, no, got a great
Speaker 1: gig at Villanova. There's nothing wrong with just saying this
Speaker 1: is a really good job. Comfortable, got tenure here, got
Speaker 1: players come in, they play, They played my system. He's
Speaker 1: got a formula there, loves his guards. You don't want
Speaker 1: to go to the seventy six ers. I would never
Speaker 1: want to coach in the NBA never never college. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they get rid of the one and done now, I'm all,
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with them. All right, let me take
Speaker 1: a break. I want to get to Chris Hans and
Speaker 1: talk to him about what we saw with the MAVs
Speaker 1: last night against the Clippers and also the Lakers in
Speaker 1: action tonight. So it's coming up on twenty after the hour.

Speaker 1: Just finishing up the cream pies there now. Seaton is
Speaker 1: betting on the Blazers, so he's double double or nothing
Speaker 1: on the pie. If if the Blazers win to night,
Speaker 1: Seaton doesn't get a pie. If the Blazers lose, Seaton
Speaker 1: gets two pies. But then I don't announce when I'm
Speaker 1: going to hit him with said pies. But Paulli and
Speaker 1: mclovin and Fritzie are getting pies to the face coming up.
Speaker 1: So is this going to be a pie angle? Like
Speaker 1: a triangle, but a pie angle? So you hit the
Speaker 1: person to the right of you so you don't see
Speaker 1: it coming from your backside. Oh boy, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: get it like a side shot into the ear. That's
Speaker 1: the worst. It gets all jammed up in there. That's Seaton,
Speaker 1: all right. So Paulli is but I thought you two
Speaker 1: were hitting each other, You Pauline and uh and Fritzie
Speaker 1: were going to hit each other. What if I do
Speaker 1: that and then I have Seaton just hit mclovin. Does
Speaker 1: that sound okay? So there's like three point one four
Speaker 1: people involved. I see what you did with Pine. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, well done, that's pretty good. Yeah. Let me
Speaker 1: give a shout out here to Chris Haynes NBA on
Speaker 1: TNT Courtside Reporter. That means he gets dressed Up to
Speaker 1: Go to the games. Yahoo Sports, NBA insider and host
Speaker 1: of Posted Up with Chris Haynes podcast. He covered Lakers,
Speaker 1: Blazers Monday, MAVs Clippers last night. So let me start
Speaker 1: with MAVs and the Clippers. Good morning, Chris. Do you
Speaker 1: think the NBA does anything to Marcus Morris after what
Speaker 1: happened to Luca don Chick last night? It will be
Speaker 1: hard for them to find out that Marcus, you know,
Speaker 1: did that on purpose. I seen I seen the replay obviously,
Speaker 1: and I've seen it live, and you know, it does questionable,
Speaker 1: But it's just it's just hard to tell. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how the NBA can come with down with a
Speaker 1: ruling saying that Marcus intentially intended to step on the
Speaker 1: ankle or the foot of Luca Donckas. And that's that's
Speaker 1: a serious matter. Obviously, Lucas out there, you know, by
Speaker 1: himself when you look at look at it from a
Speaker 1: star perspective, and you know he's hobbled, and so for
Speaker 1: anybody to do that that is as definitely an egregious act.
Speaker 1: But I just can't see how the NBA rules down
Speaker 1: on Marcus. Yeah, it's tough to rule on intent, and
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, but when I watch it,
Speaker 1: Marcus Morris is not making a basketball play. There's no
Speaker 1: reason for him to be approaching Luca from behind because
Speaker 1: they just scored the basket and he goes over. I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna like elbow or like him a
Speaker 1: forum or something like nudgeiumor a little bit, and you
Speaker 1: happen to step on the bad ankle. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: And plus, this is Marcus Morris. If this is Kawhi
Speaker 1: who did it, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: Morris doesn't get the benefit of the doubt here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And look, and Marcus has been rough and Luca, you know,
Speaker 1: especially after Luca had those you know, tremendous games, He's
Speaker 1: been roughing him up by him trying to make sure
Speaker 1: he's getting all up in him, talking trash, and Luca
Speaker 1: said he's saying Luke even said it last night. Marcus
Speaker 1: are saying all type of you know, foul stuff at me.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to ignore him. So this is attach
Speaker 1: that that Marcus Morris is using again. I know he's
Speaker 1: trying to get all up in him. I know he's
Speaker 1: trying to rough him up. And you know, and and
Speaker 1: bother him. But again, I just it's just difficult for
Speaker 1: us to tell intend the Clippers look great. What was
Speaker 1: the biggest difference last night aside from Christomps not playing
Speaker 1: and then Luca being shut down and you know, maybe
Speaker 1: that ankle has a little bit to do with it,
Speaker 1: but what's the difference with the Clippers? I mean, playoff
Speaker 1: Peace showed up. Playoff Peace showed up. I mean that
Speaker 1: was pretty much some difference. You know, he hit the
Speaker 1: first basket of the game. For him, you can tell
Speaker 1: that that was his mission to be offensively assertive. And
Speaker 1: I think once he did that kind of rallied the
Speaker 1: troops and uh, you know, they just got it going.
Speaker 1: They had it going from the start, and you know,
Speaker 1: really there's a lot a lot of different elements, but
Speaker 1: Paul George, definitely I think I was a difference maker.
Speaker 1: But then after the game, he talked about being depressed
Speaker 1: and you know, being in the bubble, and it got
Speaker 1: to him and so because I wondered, was he injured?
Speaker 1: Was there something else going on here, because he just
Speaker 1: seemed like he was not all there, And then he
Speaker 1: said I was actually going through something in the bubble
Speaker 1: how surprised were you with that. I was surprised to
Speaker 1: hear him say that. I'm not necessarily surprised if that
Speaker 1: was really the reason why he was struggling. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a you know, there's a there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: players who are having their their eels here in the bubble,
Speaker 1: just trying to cope with not being around family, the
Speaker 1: things that's going on in society right now. Another unarmed
Speaker 1: black man shot and this one happened in Wisconsin in
Speaker 1: front of his kids. And so there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that's dealing with these things. And you know, you're
Speaker 1: used to after games going home and whether it's a
Speaker 1: bad game, good game, or what are you're dealing with
Speaker 1: certain problems. You used to going home and being around family,
Speaker 1: being around people that you love, people that that support
Speaker 1: you and can can give you guidance. That's not here.
Speaker 1: You know, teammates or teammates, and definitely there's a bond
Speaker 1: between teammates, but it's not your family. It's not what
Speaker 1: you're accustomed to going home too. And so that that's
Speaker 1: been an issue for everybody. But I am surprised that
Speaker 1: Paul George didn't reveal that, but then you had this, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, senseless shooting with Jacob Blake and the players
Speaker 1: at least it felt like there was the start of
Speaker 1: a ground swell that maybe they were going to try
Speaker 1: to do something, whether it's sit out a game, uh,
Speaker 1: there'd be a boycott. How close do you think we
Speaker 1: are or were, to something like that happening in the bubble? Well,
Speaker 1: I just reported about ten minutes ago for Yahoo Sports
Speaker 1: that there was actually a meeting hill last night. There
Speaker 1: was a gathering with players who are just emotionally distraught
Speaker 1: and traumatized over what is going on. They're hurting here
Speaker 1: in this bubble, and a group of them met at
Speaker 1: one of the hotels here on campus, and they met
Speaker 1: with Chris Paul was there, andre Igodala, you know, as
Speaker 1: a leadership committee of the Players Association, And basically they're
Speaker 1: trying to get guidance and get some of the logistics
Speaker 1: of what it would look like if they were the boycott,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out their options. And it was a
Speaker 1: good talk from what I was told, And a lot
Speaker 1: of guys are just frustrated because they felt like a
Speaker 1: lot of things that they planned to do, like players
Speaker 1: planned before they got here, they planned to have meetings weekly.
Speaker 1: They wanted to have a couple of meetings weekly just
Speaker 1: to kind of stay engaged and just brainstorm and what
Speaker 1: they can do. But those meetings haven't come about as
Speaker 1: frequently as they hope, because, as you know, there's games
Speaker 1: every day, practices every other day, film study, and so
Speaker 1: they're they're feeling like a lot of players are frustrated
Speaker 1: because they feeling like the thing is that they're coming
Speaker 1: over here and they're distracting away from the real issues
Speaker 1: that are going on in the black community, and that
Speaker 1: is what they fear from the get So those talks
Speaker 1: are still on going. They started yesterday. They had a
Speaker 1: significant meeting last night trying to get the logistics. So
Speaker 1: this is something that's brewing, and that's something that I
Speaker 1: don't know that it's going to get done, but there's
Speaker 1: definitely the talks are firm, and it's definitely real how
Speaker 1: much pressure is on Lebron because usually when he says
Speaker 1: something does something, you know, he's become sort of the
Speaker 1: de facto of the league spokesperson. Lebron has made it
Speaker 1: clear from day one, even before he got to Orlando,
Speaker 1: that he felt that the NBA must go on, we
Speaker 1: must get the season, and so pressure on him. I
Speaker 1: don't know necessarily that there's pressure aside from just trying
Speaker 1: to perform on the court. Look, this season, I will
Speaker 1: believe this season is going to continue on. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen in a short term as
Speaker 1: far as boycotting games or so, but I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see there being pressure. But I will say this, Dan,
Speaker 1: you know there are people players and significant agents who
Speaker 1: told the players, look, before we got to this restart,
Speaker 1: that look, we can boycott or we can choose not
Speaker 1: to go to this restart, But how beneficial if it
Speaker 1: is it to us to lose money, and that's going
Speaker 1: to only hurt our chances of being able to invest
Speaker 1: in the black community and being able to give back.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are saying a lot of
Speaker 1: players feel like, you know, boycotting or not playing, that's
Speaker 1: going to hurt the black community and that's going to
Speaker 1: hurt our pockets enable us to give back. So that's
Speaker 1: the other side of that equation that I think. That's
Speaker 1: what Lebron James wins on as well. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Chris James NBA on TNT courtside reporter and of course
Speaker 1: ya Who's Sports NBA insider host of the post It
Speaker 1: Up with Change podcast. Lakers fixed all their issues. They're
Speaker 1: all good right now in this series, especially with Damian
Speaker 1: Little out. They definitely they've definitely fixed it, uh for
Speaker 1: this series. But you know, look, the Lakers have never
Speaker 1: been a good three point shooting team. All season. They
Speaker 1: were one of the poorest teams in the league. Over
Speaker 1: the last few games, you know, they have been one
Speaker 1: of the best. Is that going to be sustainable? And
Speaker 1: then when ray gian Rondo gets gets back, you know,
Speaker 1: can they keep that up? So I think they've solved it,
Speaker 1: solved it for right now. I'll be very very surprised,
Speaker 1: not to disrespect you some lurkers, not to disrespect c
Speaker 1: Jim McCallum, Carmelo Anthony, but I would be very surprised
Speaker 1: if the Blazer were able to and extend it to
Speaker 1: Game six. I just don't think they have the firepower
Speaker 1: in the depth to continue with the Lakers right now.
Speaker 1: Who would the Lakers want to face between the Rockets
Speaker 1: or Thunder the Thunder, I I would say the Thunder.
Speaker 1: I would say the Thunder. I just think the matchups
Speaker 1: are a problem. You know, Oklahoma City has a small
Speaker 1: guard backcourt, not just in the backcourt, you know, even
Speaker 1: at the small four position when they put Shay Allens
Speaker 1: into over there. So yeah, okay, see for sure, can
Speaker 1: you see Greg Popovich actually taking a job in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's really tough. It's really tough for me
Speaker 1: to imagine that. No, no doubt about it. Sean Marks
Speaker 1: has his eyes on Greg Popovich, you know, one of
Speaker 1: his mentors. But it's very tough. You know, for the
Speaker 1: last four years, you know, we've been kind of hearing
Speaker 1: Pop is thinking about retiring, you know, retire. It's like
Speaker 1: every year, like every single year. It's kind of like Jordan,
Speaker 1: you know, his last ten year, you know, his last
Speaker 1: few years in the league. You just didn't know if
Speaker 1: he was gonna retire. This's going to be the year
Speaker 1: or not. So I will say this, if Pop did
Speaker 1: take that next job, I can't see it happen. I
Speaker 1: personally can't you see it happen. But if he did,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a situation where it's a short term,
Speaker 1: a short term fixed because I think Pop's going and
Speaker 1: transform that team into a championship contending team from day one,
Speaker 1: and so I can see a scenario or where it
Speaker 1: would makes sense, but I don't. I just can't see it.
Speaker 1: I don't see it at all. Yeah, I wondered if
Speaker 1: he was going to continue coaching, and I thought that
Speaker 1: he would eventually when he left the Spurs, leave them
Speaker 1: in a place of comfort that Becky Hammond might take
Speaker 1: over as the head coach. I don't know if Tim
Speaker 1: Duncan wants to be the head coach, but I thought,
Speaker 1: knowing Pop and always forward thinking, that he would he
Speaker 1: would welcome or try to usher in Becky Hammond as
Speaker 1: the first female head coach in NBA history. What do
Speaker 1: you think about that? Well, and that would be the
Speaker 1: ultimate move, that would be the ultimate assists. No, definitely,
Speaker 1: I definitely see that if Pop wants to, if Pop
Speaker 1: feels like Becky is ready for this opportunity, and then
Speaker 1: he can go over there and get back to playing high,
Speaker 1: you know, high level basketball and get back to the
Speaker 1: postseason because the eys we know, Spurs didn't make it
Speaker 1: for the first time in what two decades, So I
Speaker 1: can see that makes all the sense of the world.
Speaker 1: But it's just hard just to not see pop on
Speaker 1: the spur sideline. I don't know if you know this story.
Speaker 1: It just came out the Pacers have fired Nate McMillan.
Speaker 1: They gave him a contract extension two weeks ago. They
Speaker 1: gave they put a year and they put they put
Speaker 1: a year on his Uh, looked at it. It was funny,
Speaker 1: you know when when it came out that he got
Speaker 1: an extension, like, Okay, that's cool, you know, so that's important.
Speaker 1: We found out it was just a year attitude. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but I thought they were a feel good team and
Speaker 1: you had the young players there, and you know, T J.
Speaker 1: Warren was the Michael Jordan of the bubble. You know.
Speaker 1: I mean they got swept. So you know, Brett Brown
Speaker 1: got swept, so I believe they got swept. Then they
Speaker 1: get swept. Yeah, okay, they got swept and Brett Brown
Speaker 1: definitely got swept. And so you know, that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of comes to the territory. Got any bubble gossip there
Speaker 1: for me? Bubble gossip? I mean, I haven't seen anybody
Speaker 1: sneak off. I haven't seen anybody um coming in as
Speaker 1: well and trying to think any juicy tippets I have
Speaker 1: for VP. Are you on late night patrol? I'm not,
Speaker 1: but I am up late nights and I find myself
Speaker 1: walking around, uh you know, not walking around see if
Speaker 1: I see anything questionable, just walking around because you're not
Speaker 1: narking out right, You're not nar okay. I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure to make sure. Okay, I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't. Yeah, how's morale there? Uh? Look,
Speaker 1: I think morale is gonna be a lot better next
Speaker 1: week because wives and and girlfriends getting clear and and
Speaker 1: and what's it called California work? Is that what? It's?
Speaker 1: La work? La work? Damn I love that. I never
Speaker 1: I never knew that that term la work. Have you
Speaker 1: experienced that? No? No, no, I mean back in the

Speaker 1: I have a hard enough time doing Milford work here. Man,
Speaker 1: don't get in trouble with you. No, I I get worked.
Speaker 1: I I'm not. I'm not in the import export business here, Chris,
Speaker 1: I'm not. Now. I've been in a bubble before there
Speaker 1: was the bubble. Uh, good to talk to you. Thanks

Speaker 1: to go out and uh smoke from a hookah. Has
Speaker 1: anybody smoked from a hookah. Sorry that I looked right
Speaker 1: at you, Seaton. Yeah, but I don't know what is
Speaker 1: the feeling you get from a hooka? So you just
Speaker 1: sit around. It's got that big pipe with hoses and
Speaker 1: then you just grab one and you start taking all share,
Speaker 1: you know. But everybody gets their own blend hose to
Speaker 1: smoke out of. But what is the sensation you get
Speaker 1: from smoking from a hookah? Depends on what you put
Speaker 1: in there, Dan, I get like any smoker. But but
Speaker 1: you can go to those places where it's a hookah lounge. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: m but do you get high? Nah? But what do
Speaker 1: you get? You get sick a sitar music? I would
Speaker 1: guess it's it's not unlike uh like a cigar bar. Okay,
Speaker 1: Like you go there and you smoke, and me maybe
Speaker 1: you might get a buzz from the cigar, so you
Speaker 1: might get I haven't smoked enough hookahs to really understand
Speaker 1: all of that. Should we get a hookah if you're
Speaker 1: but you want to turn one of these rooms into
Speaker 1: a little mini hookah out, and you know what we've
Speaker 1: on you know what, we'll call it hookah done chick Oh.
Speaker 1: I was gonna walk off, but I can't I can't.
Speaker 1: I had to walk off earlier today where Dunkin Donuts
Speaker 1: is making with Harpoon beer. They're making donuts with beer,
Speaker 1: and so it's dunkin Donuts and I said, we'll call
Speaker 1: it drunken Donuts. And it was a walk off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I realized I had to come back and do
Speaker 1: the show Boston Cream and Beer. Yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 1: just don't know if now I've gone to a tailgate
Speaker 1: before where you can have like a Guinness and you
Speaker 1: could have a donut, and I could, I could tolerate that,
Speaker 1: but not. I want me to bring in some beer
Speaker 1: and donuts one day and give it a try. We should,
Speaker 1: we should try it before we judge it. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you know, looking at this body, I don't eat donuts.
Speaker 1: I don't even drink beer. No, really, not drink tequila. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it Kala and tequila for yeah. See, I's still
Speaker 1: like even at nine am, Tequyla, you haven't. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I stepped on your punch. I think love it is
Speaker 1: the best walk off voice whenever you have a walk
Speaker 1: off that but they're always so bad, they are bad,
Speaker 1: but you take your headphones off and then you leave,
Speaker 1: so you don't even hear us saying how bad it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to say something walk off worthy,
Speaker 1: to walk off? Can I just walk off? Yeah? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not yet, because you got a pie that you're going
Speaker 1: to get hit in the face with. Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So right at the end of this show, if you're
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube or on peacock, there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of time right after the show, and that is only
Speaker 1: going to be available with these guys getting hit with
Speaker 1: the pause. So it's right after the show, but it's
Speaker 1: still going to be on TV. It'll be on peacock.
Speaker 1: By the way, you have until the end of this
Speaker 1: week to make the transition over to Peacock. All right,
Speaker 1: those on YouTube dot com slice the Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 1: join us, okay, because next Monday you'll find us on Peacock.
Speaker 1: As far as watching on TV. This day and sports history, Paulie,
Speaker 1: what do you have From nineteen thirty nine, the first
Speaker 1: televised Major League baseball games were shown. It was a
Speaker 1: double header between the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers. And
Speaker 1: today is on the National Day calendar. It's National Dog Day,
Speaker 1: International Dog Day, International Dog Day. Yes, fun, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I gave Penny a biscuit. I went back and the
Speaker 1: big Germans dog Penny. It encourages ownership of all breeds,
Speaker 1: ensure it's initiative to get people looking to buying dogs
Speaker 1: and rescuing dog. Do you care if your dog is
Speaker 1: not amongst the smartest dogs, because there's lists that say
Speaker 1: these are the smart dogs. And I thought that my
Speaker 1: son had a smart dog, ashiba Inu, and then I
Speaker 1: realized that he's not considered smart, and so you know,
Speaker 1: it's like you want your kids to be. Hey, they
Speaker 1: make great grades like percentile. Yeah, the guy was really
Speaker 1: I was proud of this dog, and like I was
Speaker 1: proud of my son. And then I realized that this
Speaker 1: dog is not considered that smart. Yes, times, is it
Speaker 1: just the list suggesting the dog isn't smart or you
Speaker 1: were trying to teach it some things that I just
Speaker 1: didn't want to have any part of figuring out what
Speaker 1: you were talking about. Well, we have a really we
Speaker 1: have a tough relationship, my son's dog and me because
Speaker 1: for some reason, he we all have accidents in my
Speaker 1: bedroom statement accents or in my closet, the only two places.
Speaker 1: So he sends a message I don't know what. He's
Speaker 1: eight years old, he's still sending messages and it's not
Speaker 1: an accident. But so I think he's smart because he's
Speaker 1: playing mind games with me. But I don't know. They said,
Speaker 1: like border collies and German shepherds and poodles are really
Speaker 1: smart dogs too. It would just you'd have to walk
Speaker 1: around with a poodle like, hey, it's a smart dog,
Speaker 1: but you're still walking around with a poodle. So I'd
Speaker 1: have a hard time doing that anything else on this
Speaker 1: day sports history. That's it, all right. The Seahawks tight
Speaker 1: end Greg Olsen's going to be joining us on the program.
Speaker 1: I saw where Russell Wilson Junior, the third said he
Speaker 1: wants to play another fifteen years. Is that I think?
Speaker 1: I think he said, anyone's played until he's forty five,
Speaker 1: and why not? Still going back to this story with
Speaker 1: the Pacers firing Nate McMillan. So you two weeks ago
Speaker 1: they give him one more year in his contract, and
Speaker 1: I thought the Pacers were a feel good story. You
Speaker 1: got t J. Warren, Malcolm Brogden, Sabonis Oladipot. That's a
Speaker 1: nice little nucleus here, Nino Sabonis wasn't in the bubble,
Speaker 1: and Oladipo got hurt. Brogden I think was inconsistent, might
Speaker 1: have been hurt as well. But TJ. Warren, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I felt like to add something going on there in Indiana?
Speaker 1: Did you check in with Mannix to see if there
Speaker 1: was like, is there something else that came up? Mannix
Speaker 1: was curious if this were like if someone in Matchman
Speaker 1: didn't care for Nate McMillan and they saw this as
Speaker 1: an opportunity to switch direction. But wait a minute, they
Speaker 1: so you're gonna switch directions in two weeks time with
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. He's not getting any blame. The
Speaker 1: injuries are being blamed for their short run. Well, he
Speaker 1: got blamed because he got fired. Now they got swept
Speaker 1: by the heat. Wow. All right, let's go around the
Speaker 1: room what we learned in the program. I'm going to
Speaker 1: start with Todd back left, Charles Barkley. So the shack
Speaker 1: loves his hookah and pot just made Charles want to
Speaker 1: eat lots of potato chips in the past. All right,
Speaker 1: and mcleven I gotta share the poll results. If you
Speaker 1: could change a three to either keep it at three two,
Speaker 1: points or two point five ninety four percent. Keep it
Speaker 1: at three four percent, two points and less than one
Speaker 1: percent two point five. Paully was big on the two
Speaker 1: and a half lets one percent, Well you could, How
Speaker 1: would you do that with the sig? You know when
Speaker 1: they you make it three, they hold up three fingers
Speaker 1: like you'd have to hold up two and then like Seaton,
Speaker 1: would you learn? I think I like Philip Rivers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's fun with he's on with this, Pauli Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: hoard's clothes and children, Well we learned. Brought to you
Speaker 1: by the Home Depot everyday, low prices, even bigger savings
Speaker 1: when you purchase by the Palette, the pro's best option
Speaker 1: when it comes to luring the Home Depot. How doers
Speaker 1: get more done? If you're watching on Peacock and the
Speaker 1: Dannats get pies to the faces coming up? Talk to
Speaker 1: you tomorrow,
