Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Thursday, and it's the final day
Speaker 2: that we can guarantee delivery by Christmas Day anything ordered
Speaker 2: at Danpatrick dot com except moonshine, that's not guarantee, just
Speaker 2: letting you know. Sunday night, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
Speaker 2: take on Trevor Lawrence and the Jags. That'll be seven
Speaker 2: Eastern on NBC and Peacock And that's one of those
Speaker 2: standalone games where you're looking at Lamar Jackson if he
Speaker 2: has a really good game. Now you move up a
Speaker 2: little bit in the MVP odds because right now it
Speaker 2: appears to be a two quarterback race. It's Dak Prescott
Speaker 2: and Brock perty Bennett's Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2: Football coming up tonight, Chargers are getting three against the Raiders.
Speaker 2: The over under is thirty four and a half. Anytime
Speaker 2: touchdowns score? Who do you have best odds to score
Speaker 2: a touchdown tonight at any time? Todd Austin Eckler, A second, Marvin,
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs, Josh Jacobs blue plu plu plu Yes. Zamir
Speaker 2: White is in there then DeVante Adams a mere Abdullah
Speaker 2: oblom Gatta. That's that's that's it's a mirror Abdullah.
Speaker 3: Yes, I wonder if you could bet on I'm sure
Speaker 3: you can being scoreless at halftime. Oh sure, I wonder
Speaker 3: what the odds on that at what the plus on
Speaker 3: that is?
Speaker 2: You think it'll be scoreless?
Speaker 3: It have no, it would be a fun one to
Speaker 3: play with after last week with the Raiders and the
Speaker 3: Charges offense not much better.
Speaker 2: Eastern Stick.
Speaker 4: I would never be smirt.
Speaker 2: Jon jn't bet against Eastern Stick. All right, So we've
Speaker 2: talked a lot about the Pacers, We've talked about the Bucks,
Speaker 2: the game ball drama, all of that. We'll do a
Speaker 2: little deeper dive here coming up. Your phone calls are
Speaker 2: always welcome. Poll question for the final hour, the program
Speaker 2: is going to be what Seaton No, Connor.
Speaker 4: Well, damn.
Speaker 5: People still sticking with Giannis deserving that game ball over
Speaker 5: Usk or she.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Yannis didn't want the ball for himself. He
Speaker 2: it's reported that he wanted it for Dame Lillard allegedly. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm just going by what was reported.
Speaker 5: Going going by what Todd Fritz.
Speaker 2: No, it's not Todd. No, that journalists are reporting that
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to. One of those journalists is
Speaker 2: the journalist with us Todd any minute? Okay, Eric name,
Speaker 2: the senior writer for the Athletic. He covers the bus.
Speaker 2: He was there when all the drama unfolded in the
Speaker 2: bowels of the stadium, the arena there. Let's bring in Eric,
Speaker 2: who joins us on the program. Help me understand here. Uh, okay?
Speaker 2: Is it Yannis who wanted the ball for Yannis or
Speaker 2: did Yannis wanted for Dame Lillard?
Speaker 6: I mean, I think Janis wanted it for Yannis. I
Speaker 6: think when Yanas had a chance to talk about it
Speaker 6: a little bit, he also wanted it for Dame because
Speaker 6: he realized, you know, I have a Hall of Fame
Speaker 6: teammate with me. He just had a historic night as well,
Speaker 6: so we need that game ball as well. But no,
Speaker 6: I think more than anything, Giannis knew that that was
Speaker 6: a franchise record, one that he one of the few
Speaker 6: franchise records at this point that he doesn't have. He
Speaker 6: wanted that basketball, he didn't have it, and he needed
Speaker 6: to go chase it down.
Speaker 2: How much of a factor was it that it was
Speaker 2: the Pacers and the Bucks. Given what happened with the
Speaker 2: end season tournament game.
Speaker 6: I think the Bucks definitely wanted to get that game
Speaker 6: back last night. They've lost twice to the Pacers this year.
Speaker 6: The first game this year, Jannis had fifty four points
Speaker 6: and the Pacers were still able to come back from
Speaker 6: behind and grab a win there. So I don't think
Speaker 6: the Bucks enjoyed playing the Pacers all that much. I
Speaker 6: don't think they enjoyed the Pacers, you know, having some
Speaker 6: fun at the Bucks expense in the end season tournament.
Speaker 6: You know, Tyre's Halliburton is fantastic, but he did the
Speaker 6: whole you know, fake Dame time kind of thing, is
Speaker 6: my time now instead of damn time? And you could
Speaker 6: kind of see that from the start of the game,
Speaker 6: Like at the very start of this game, Jannis gets
Speaker 6: a tech, he delivers a forearm shiver to Tyreus Haliburton.
Speaker 6: Is Haliburton's going back up the floor. So you can
Speaker 6: tell there's this kind of bad blood. I don't want
Speaker 6: to call it a rivalry quite yet. They haven't played
Speaker 6: playoff games like the Bucks have like full on playoff
Speaker 6: rivalries with like a team like the Heat, so it's
Speaker 6: not quite there yet, but yeah, it definitely has some
Speaker 6: of that. They're a little bit annoyed with with the
Speaker 6: little brother here, kind of trying to, you know, start
Speaker 6: something with.
Speaker 2: The big brother. Where is the game ball?
Speaker 6: I mean that all depends who you ask, because after
Speaker 6: the game, like I'm sitting in the locker room, and
Speaker 6: Yannis is a thousand percent convinced that the ball that
Speaker 6: is in his possession, sitting next to his locker is
Speaker 6: not the game ball from last night, because every game,
Speaker 6: I mean, and I learned a lot about game balls
Speaker 6: in NBA rules last night, but before every game, there's
Speaker 6: three balls. So you have three balls out there, the
Speaker 6: captains go out, they pick one of them, and then
Speaker 6: there's a reserve game ball. But also from my understanding,
Speaker 6: there should be a reserve to the reserve game ball,
Speaker 6: so there should be three that are there. So Yannis
Speaker 6: thinks the ball that was put in front of him
Speaker 6: in the locker room after the game is the reserve
Speaker 6: game ball and not the actual game ball. And his
Speaker 6: reasoning was, I played thirty seven minutes, I felt the
Speaker 6: ball throughout the night, I shot thirty two free throws.
Speaker 6: I know what it feels like. That is not what
Speaker 6: the ball feels like. So while they are telling him
Speaker 6: this is the game ball and you can watch, you know,
Speaker 6: right after the game, the one of the Buck security
Speaker 6: guards goes straight to the ref grabs the ball and
Speaker 6: from what I can tell, gives it to someone that
Speaker 6: works for the Bucks. And then the Bucks have the
Speaker 6: ball in their possession. But twenty seconds later, Tyrus Halliburn
Speaker 6: has a ball in his hands. Yanna sees it and
Speaker 6: thinks that's the ball. So honestly, it is all about
Speaker 6: who you believe at this point, because there are a
Speaker 6: number of people that I guess can account for the
Speaker 6: ball for some portion of the night, but can't account
Speaker 6: for the ball for other portions of the night. And
Speaker 6: now it is just who you believe. And this is
Speaker 6: one of the more ridiculous things I've ever covered in
Speaker 6: my time covering the league.
Speaker 2: Worst look for the Pacers or Yannas, Oh.
Speaker 6: That's interesting. I mean, probably Yannis that he is someone
Speaker 6: that's accomplished a lot, He's been through a lot. At
Speaker 6: this point, he should probably, you know, not be allowing
Speaker 6: teams to kind of get underneath his skin, uh in
Speaker 6: this way. But at the same time, you know whether
Speaker 6: or not the Facers had the actual ball. Once they're
Speaker 6: in the tunnel, they are yelling back to Yannis and
Speaker 6: all the Bucks players that have come along with them,
Speaker 6: don't let him have the ball. You're not getting the ball.
Speaker 6: So they enjoyed that, you know, whether or not they
Speaker 6: had it, they enjoyed that Yana's thought that they had it.
Speaker 6: So again, I don't know that anyone really comes up
Speaker 6: looking great after this one, because it truly is a
Speaker 6: pretty ridiculous sitution.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you do any reporting on the Pacers with
Speaker 2: their tradition that their rookies when they score their first basket,
Speaker 2: they get the ball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that is something that they do. But because
Speaker 6: this story just just keeps having more and more layers,
Speaker 6: it gets even more confusing because Oscar Sibwe technically scored
Speaker 6: before last night, right, but he did so in the
Speaker 6: N Season Tournament. So now we have to figure out
Speaker 6: is that an actual point, because we're not sure how
Speaker 6: anyone's going to keep these records going forward, because one,
Speaker 6: we don't know if the N Season Tournament's going to
Speaker 6: exist going forward, we know how long it's going to
Speaker 6: exist going forward. We don't know if it was an
Speaker 6: actual game or a not actual game or just an
Speaker 6: nd season tournament game. So what's in an official NBA
Speaker 6: point at this at this point, what's an official NBA
Speaker 6: ball at this point? Which one's the real one, which
Speaker 6: one's the fake one? None of us know anything, Dan,
Speaker 6: That's all I know at this.
Speaker 2: This is what I'm wondering. You know, now, as we
Speaker 2: move on, when a rookie scores his first points, does
Speaker 2: he ask to stop the game so he can take
Speaker 2: the ball out of the game. So he does, There's
Speaker 2: no confusion in case somebody goes for you know, seventy
Speaker 2: two points in a game.
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, let let's just go MLB style and
Speaker 6: you know, after after every time out, we'll get a
Speaker 6: new ball in there. We'll scuff it up, we'll make
Speaker 6: sure that's okay. If this is a free throw, you
Speaker 6: grab it, throw it back out, get a new ball
Speaker 6: in there. Like what, Let's just go for it. Dan.
Speaker 2: Do you think Giannis gets fined?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I think so. I don't think you can have the
Speaker 6: situation where you know you're running into a tunnel and
Speaker 6: making the scene. You know, when you were talking to
Speaker 6: Rick Carla after the game, he mentioned that Pacers GM
Speaker 6: Chabbu Cannon was in the tunnel and ended up getting
Speaker 6: bumped during that. Chabby Cannon confirmed with everyone that he's fined,
Speaker 6: and I don't think it's gonna be a serious injury.
Speaker 6: But again, just the look of it all, a general
Speaker 6: manager kind of getting into It's not a scuffle, but whatever,
Speaker 6: you know, some sort of physical altercation with a player, like, yeah,
Speaker 6: there's there's probably a fine gun.
Speaker 2: Can't wait until they meet what January first in Indiana.
Speaker 6: I mean, the beauty of it is it's January first
Speaker 6: in Milwaukee and then January third in Indiana, A home
Speaker 6: and home just I mean, it's gonna be lovely forty
Speaker 6: eight hours.
Speaker 8: All the rivalry can.
Speaker 6: Be renewed and we can figure it out all over again.
Speaker 6: I can't I truly can't wait.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Eric, We appreciate your time.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I have no answers at all.
Speaker 2: Neither do we, Eric. Neither do we Eric name, the
Speaker 2: senior writer for the Athletic covering the Bucks. Yeah, nobody
Speaker 2: ever said we had answers either. I asked questions. I
Speaker 2: don't have any answers. That's a good appearance by him,
Speaker 2: all right, some phone calls here eight seven seven three
Speaker 2: DP show uh Nick in La Hi Nick, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 9: I just wanted to make a comment. See if anybody
Speaker 9: noticed about when Draymond dropped Nurkic. Nobody on the Suns
Speaker 9: moved a muscle towards that guy. I mean, we've seen
Speaker 9: a lot less and everybody makes a big, giant, pushing,
Speaker 9: shoving freak out about it. That tells me a lot
Speaker 9: about how they feel about that dude in the locker room.
Speaker 9: Because no one came to him, no one got in
Speaker 9: Draymond's face, They just stood there and looked at it.
Speaker 2: Well, I think you got to be fair in retaliating.
Speaker 2: As soon as something like that happens, usually of the
Speaker 2: assistant coaches turn to their bench and make sure they
Speaker 2: hold the players back. I don't know if that was
Speaker 2: the case as far as teammates going up, but did
Speaker 2: they say or do to Draymond Green. It is a
Speaker 2: great point you bring up, but I think you're extra
Speaker 2: careful I think nowadays in going up and maybe you're
Speaker 2: inciting you know this moment here. I was kind of
Speaker 2: surprised at the reaction by the Golden State Warrior spench
Speaker 2: and even Steve Kerr is not really he's not even
Speaker 2: looking at Draymond when it happens, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden realizes. I don't think anybody's ever surprised where
Speaker 2: they go, oh my god, did you see what Draymond?
Speaker 2: Now it's yeah, you see what Draymond did again? And
Speaker 2: now he's suspended indefinitely, And I don't know if it matters.
Speaker 2: Sometimes when you go, okay, the suspension has to matter?
Speaker 2: Is fifteen games matter to Draymond? Green? Is the twenty games?
Speaker 2: If he suspended for fifteen games, then you're basically saying,
Speaker 2: Golden State you're not going to make the playoffs twenty games?
Speaker 2: Absolutely no chance. Does the league want to do that?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Let me play conspiracy theorist here, because the league loves
Speaker 2: Golden State, because we still love watching Steph Curry play.
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson is not himself anymore. Draymond is interesting TV.
Speaker 2: Not gonna say mussy, but he's interesting. Do you want
Speaker 2: to take him off the court? Do you want to
Speaker 2: take Golden State out of the playoff picture? You know,
Speaker 2: is the punishment going to fit the crime here? Are
Speaker 2: they going to punish him even more? Is it a
Speaker 2: jah morant? Situation where it's like, Okay, enough, now we're
Speaker 2: going to sit you down. Does he need help? Did
Speaker 2: he need help before? So there's a few questions that
Speaker 2: I have with this, and I think the indefinite suspension,
Speaker 2: it's almost like the league is given a little bit
Speaker 2: of a hall pass. Now they can take in all
Speaker 2: the opinions that are going to be out there, all
Speaker 2: the writers that are going to be out there, analyst.
Speaker 2: This is what they did with John Moran. Everybody had
Speaker 2: an opinion, everybody has an knew on Draymond Green. You
Speaker 2: gather all that information and then you go fifteen games plus.
Speaker 2: Is the Players Association going to appeal this because your
Speaker 2: job is to protect the players, but you have to
Speaker 2: protect your players from Draymond Green while trying to stand
Speaker 2: up for Draymond Green's rights. Good luck with that. Let
Speaker 2: me see Mark and san Antonio. Hi Mark, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 10: Hi Dan? Thanks for taking my call. Hey, you guys
Speaker 10: were talking earlier about Brandon Aubrey as a possible Rookie
Speaker 10: of the Year and it piaud my interest as far
Speaker 10: as kickers or placekickers as rookies of the Year. And
Speaker 10: it's happened three times in the past, which I didn't realize.
Speaker 10: But the first time it happened was fifty one years ago.
Speaker 2: What year was that? Fifty one years ago? Nineteen seventy three, two,
Speaker 2: two seventy two, Rookie of the Year, A kicker, Yeah, Holy.
Speaker 3: Jan Stener Root.
Speaker 2: Anyone else Jean was kicking? I think before that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, a young man out of an n A I
Speaker 10: a college from Poland.
Speaker 2: Oh no, not Chester Markle.
Speaker 10: That is the man blue blue, and damn it.
Speaker 2: Mark gets too soon. No, it's bad now. And I
Speaker 2: can't even get him a stat of the Day on that.
Speaker 2: That's that, that that hurts, That hurts, and you know
Speaker 2: that hurts, Mark, Chester Markle cost me a bet Ackers
Speaker 2: Bears Okay, the other two kickers, the other.
Speaker 10: Two kicks, Philadelphia, Paul McFadden.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have gotten that one.
Speaker 11: Nope.
Speaker 10: Nineteen ninety two from Detroit, Jason Hanson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have gotten Hansen. Okay, thank you, Mark,
Speaker 2: thank you. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Speaker 2: PENAI America, the official Trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: Zach and Reno. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 12: I've got a gripe about NFL officiating.
Speaker 2: Get in line.
Speaker 12: We all know that playing so we all know that
Speaker 12: playing penalty free defense in the NFL is next two impossible.
Speaker 12: It's sounding more and more likely that the NFL is
Speaker 12: going to ban a tackle called the hip drop tackle.
Speaker 12: I think this is going to be met with criticism
Speaker 12: that defenders are getting flagged for simply playing football.
Speaker 11: Just wanted to see if you have thoughts on this.
Speaker 2: Well, we're not going to be playing flag football. And
Speaker 2: you know, the commissioner did talk about this type of
Speaker 2: tackle that we saw on Tyreek Hill. You know, it's
Speaker 2: like the horse collar tackle. Now you have this they
Speaker 2: hip drop, and the commissioner has brought this up. I
Speaker 2: just I feel bad for defensive players trying to understand
Speaker 2: and what they can and can't do when they can
Speaker 2: do something when they can't. You're flying at you know,
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour, and while we can watch
Speaker 2: something even in real time and go oh, you should
Speaker 2: be able to adapt to the situation. It's so fast
Speaker 2: on the field and then you see slow motion and
Speaker 2: a defensive player sacking a quarterback is not thinking, man,
Speaker 2: I just want to crush him. It's I need to
Speaker 2: tackle him, not land on him. Be at the side
Speaker 2: of him. Don't hit him up top, hit him in
Speaker 2: a you know, an area the size of a mailbox.
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean imagine playing that way where you
Speaker 2: have to be instinctive, but you also have to be
Speaker 2: thinking in real time of did I lower my head?
Speaker 2: Can I lower I'm gonna make helmet to helmet contact.
Speaker 2: It happens so fast, Yes, Mark, it feels.
Speaker 13: Like holding a baby. Oh wait, wait, no, no, no, hold
Speaker 13: his head, hold his head all right, bring him down
Speaker 13: all right, right, swaddle him, take a nap, swaddle him
Speaker 13: all right?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, so there's a tag they're showing us the
Speaker 3: other day. I think Van Pell was showing it. There's
Speaker 3: a tackle towards the sideline where someone did a hip drop.
Speaker 4: Was it hurts?
Speaker 3: They got hurt? And so what else you're you going
Speaker 3: to do?
Speaker 4: Do you you.
Speaker 3: Can't uh, you can't uh you know, pile drive him
Speaker 3: if you got him in your hands. Instead of slamming
Speaker 3: him like they used to do. Now they do the
Speaker 3: hip drop because you can't slam him. You're running out
Speaker 3: of moves.
Speaker 2: But it's not that we're getting closer to flag football
Speaker 2: it's it's giving the defensive player at least a little
Speaker 2: bit of an advantage at some point, and they haven't
Speaker 2: done that. It's gone the opposite. And I think, to
Speaker 2: be fair, if I'm a defensive player. Now, this happened
Speaker 2: when I back in the nineties, when I was doing
Speaker 2: Sports Center, and I remember that a defensive back told
Speaker 2: me the only way that I can make Sports Center
Speaker 2: highlights is an interception, a sack, or I blow somebody up.
Speaker 2: And if you go back to the number of plays
Speaker 2: back then where defensive backs weren't trying to tackle you,
Speaker 2: they were trying to blow you up. They would just
Speaker 2: launch their body into you. Well, they've taken just about
Speaker 2: everything out of this. When we see a big hit,
Speaker 2: we immediately assume somebody's going to get flagged for it,
Speaker 2: and it's not always the case, but it's, oh my god,
Speaker 2: he had to do something illegal if it ended up
Speaker 2: like that, and sometimes it's just a great hit. I
Speaker 2: don't know how Ronnie Lott would play today, don't. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's certain players that played on the edge. You know,
Speaker 2: Jack Tatum played for the Raider. They couldn't. I don't
Speaker 2: know how they would play. I mean they'd have to
Speaker 2: learn to play differently. But Ronnie Lott was going to
Speaker 2: hit you every single time he could. He wouldn't be
Speaker 2: able to do that. Now take a break. More phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show said nine am Eastern, six am Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 14: Polly Foosco here with Tony Fosco.
Speaker 4: Yo.
Speaker 14: Of course you know us as the host of the
Speaker 14: number one rated show in all of sports talks, the
Speaker 14: Paully and Tony Fusco Show.
Speaker 11: Ye.
Speaker 14: Now, the suits at Fox Sports Radio gave us this
Speaker 14: ad time because they wanted us to tell you how
Speaker 14: great our show is.
Speaker 1: Why Yeah, Instead of us doing.
Speaker 6: That, let's just let our millions of fans.
Speaker 1: Do the talker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, play the tape you don't.
Speaker 4: Know, crap about four O crap, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 1: That's the wrong tape, wrong tape. Just forget that.
Speaker 14: Look, listen to the Paully Tony Fusco Show on the
Speaker 14: iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: I don't want to start anything while perhaps starting something
Speaker 2: we haven't heard if the Kansas City Chiefs are gonna
Speaker 2: get fined for criticizing the officials, Andy Reid also Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Now keep in mind Deontay Johnson, remember last month he
Speaker 2: was fined twenty five thousand dollars said the officials must
Speaker 2: have gotten paid well today. Usually the players are the
Speaker 2: ones who get fined if they questioned the integrity of
Speaker 2: the officials, But this time Andy Reid did and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: I'm curious. It seems like Patrick Mahomes a is going
Speaker 2: to get fined, but I would think Andy Reid would
Speaker 2: get fined. I'm not sure what the weight is. Then
Speaker 2: maybe they don't always announce it. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I'm just curious about that with the league office, Yes,
Speaker 2: ton if.
Speaker 4: They winked at it for whatever reason.
Speaker 15: With Mahomes other than being the face of the NFL,
Speaker 15: because he's saying, you know, they're human beings. People make mistakes.
Speaker 15: But Andy Reid went all in saying that's embarrassing. He's
Speaker 15: used that word a few times. The officials embarrassed the league.
Speaker 2: By the way, everybody has Caadarius Tony's back. Here's a
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes talking about his wide receivers going into the
Speaker 2: game against New England, just.
Speaker 7: Be you, men. I mean that's all you can do
Speaker 7: in life or in this league. I mean, you're gonna
Speaker 7: make mistake. I mean, soff's gonna happen in your life.
Speaker 7: How do you accept that adversity and get past it
Speaker 7: and do it the right way? And coach repreaches that
Speaker 7: and that's how our role is. I mean, you make
Speaker 7: one mistake, that's not how to define you. It's gonna
Speaker 7: be how you respond to that mistake. All the receivers
Speaker 7: know I believe in them. That's just kind of how
Speaker 7: I roll. If you're in this locker room and I
Speaker 7: see how hard you work, I'm gonna trust in you
Speaker 7: in big moments, and I'm gonna give you chances to
Speaker 7: go out there and make plays and for everything. I know,
Speaker 7: their mindset seems like it's in a good spot and
Speaker 7: they just want to go out there and and and
Speaker 7: continue to get better and better.
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't want Kadarius Tony to you, Just be you? No,
Speaker 2: that's why we're in this situation. He's been being you.
Speaker 2: You want him to be better, and I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: saying all the right things. Hey, you know, I believe
Speaker 2: in my receivers and throw them the ball and they'll
Speaker 2: make plays. Okay, there's no way. I mean Tom Brady
Speaker 2: when play would come in, he would not throw it
Speaker 2: to a certain wide receiver. Later in his career with
Speaker 2: New England, it was reported that Tom wouldn't throw to
Speaker 2: this receiver he didn't trust him. So, you know, quarterbacks
Speaker 2: don't look at all receivers and say they're you know,
Speaker 2: created equal. You're like, I need a bail out, Travis,
Speaker 2: where are you? I'll find you. Kadarius Tony was open
Speaker 2: on the play. Okay, if you look at the video,
Speaker 2: he's wide open. And then that's when he gestured back
Speaker 2: at Mahomes like he didn't throw it. And then he
Speaker 2: stops and then he drops his head. He lifts his head,
Speaker 2: and then Kelsey is coming his way. He throws in
Speaker 2: the ball and he runs in for a touchdown. So
Speaker 2: he's already stopped on the play. And there's a reason
Speaker 2: why the Giants gave up on Kadarius Tony. He's either
Speaker 2: hurt making an unbelievable catch or dropping a sure touchdown.
Speaker 2: Once in a while, he can be awesome, and we
Speaker 2: all say, man, that guy's got talent. Wow, the Chiefs
Speaker 2: got a steal and then you realize, no, they didn't.
Speaker 2: There's a reason why he was made available. But Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes going into this game got to sail the right things.
Speaker 2: But I'm curious if the NFL finds them for what
Speaker 2: they said.
Speaker 3: Yes, Kadarius Tony reminds me of He's like a player
Speaker 3: like Jameis Winston where he's helping one of the teams
Speaker 3: in the game win the game, and he's gonna do
Speaker 3: something that helps this team or completely hurt this team.
Speaker 3: And Caadarius did this. Remember was it the Lions game
Speaker 3: Week one or two? He had three drops in one
Speaker 3: game and the Lions beat the Chiefs the season week one?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yea, mar does Tony's performance in the super Bowl
Speaker 13: give him a mulligan?
Speaker 4: Like, you know what he did right by us in
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Well he got another season because of that. But is
Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony with this team next year? Oh no, That's
Speaker 2: what I'd be curious about. Oh yes, Mark, And.
Speaker 13: When Mahomes is like just be you, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 13: be something please please don't be you. We're in the
Speaker 13: situation because you were you.
Speaker 2: But Nick Wright was correct when he joined his first tower.
Speaker 2: He's like everybody's now saying, oh, you missed tyreek Hill. Yes,
Speaker 2: what team wouldn't miss tyreek Hill? But they had to
Speaker 2: make that decision because they don't want to pay twenty
Speaker 2: eight million dollars for Tyreek Hill and they won a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl without Tyreek Hill. You can't do the revision
Speaker 2: is history? Now? Are the Chiefs asking Mahomes to do
Speaker 2: more this year than in previous years? Yes? And it
Speaker 2: felt like the Patriots did that to Tom Brady a lot, like, Hey, Tom,
Speaker 2: I don't know, go out there and make something happen. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 13: Do you think the Chiefs go to Tony Real early
Speaker 13: in the game. It's like a nice, you know, five
Speaker 13: yard slant, like, oh, we believe you. Everyone's getting everyone's
Speaker 13: getting amped, all right, let's go. Andy Reid's eating a
Speaker 13: cheeseburger getting amped.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true, but I don't It's
Speaker 2: not what he does early, it's what he does late
Speaker 2: that I want to know, because when the game really matters,
Speaker 2: you know, it's on the li Travis. Yeah, And then
Speaker 2: you're like, I'm going to go to Travis because he's
Speaker 2: double teamed but I trust him. Kadarius Tony is wide
Speaker 2: open over here, and that's where Mahomes went. Brock in Atlanta, Hi, Rock,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Damn breaking news. High school quarterback Turtle Fleshman for Brownsville, Texas,
Speaker 16: has committed to Crappensburg State. The standout quarterback has exceeded
Speaker 16: all expectations this season with a strong arm heady runs
Speaker 16: to squirt past the opposition in the South Texas Bluewater League.
Speaker 16: Coach Cotton Toddy White says Turtle is known for his
Speaker 16: arm strength. He's blowing gas with accurate long throws down
Speaker 16: the pipe. He's been a streaky player with highs and
Speaker 16: lows throughout his high school career, but he splashed onto
Speaker 16: the radar of many college programs, most notably Crappensburg State.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Brock. I like that Rock spent
Speaker 2: time of his week where he's probably at the kitchen
Speaker 2: table and his wife's going, what are you doing? Just
Speaker 2: doing this crapp State thing? Is the yeah? Is there
Speaker 2: really a Crappensburg State? No, No, Dan Patrick show, they
Speaker 2: made up Crappensburg State. But I'm busy right now, honey, busy.
Speaker 5: I appreciated the delivery there as a stringer calling yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: You're all done. Yeah, got a reporter calling it.
Speaker 15: And that's why you didn't takeup the garbage or take
Speaker 15: the stuff out of the dishwater.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. By the way, with the basketball controversy, I'm
Speaker 2: sorry which one the Dame one and joannest one? If
Speaker 2: if if the ball was really important to Dame Lillard
Speaker 2: when the clock is ticking down three to Dame takes
Speaker 2: a three missus and then uh, the official grabs the ball.
Speaker 2: Somebody from the Bucks comes by to get the ball.
Speaker 2: Another person comes by to get the ball. If Dame,
Speaker 2: if it was that important where you're the fifth all
Speaker 2: time leader and three pointers made, wouldn't you just hold
Speaker 2: onto the ball like just right and just gonna hold
Speaker 2: on to it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't care about it.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I you could look at it
Speaker 2: this way too, Hey, I'm the hole on the ball
Speaker 2: and give it to Janni's But he he takes a
Speaker 2: shot and then it, you know, goes to the official,
Speaker 2: to a Bucks official, to another Bucks official.
Speaker 5: It's not about individual awards for Dame hmmm, It's about rings.
Speaker 2: Okay, But did Yannis want the ball for Dame or
Speaker 2: did he want it for himself, because it seems like
Speaker 2: Jannis is saying the same thing both of those things.
Speaker 5: It's right, he probably is, much like Draymond didn't mean
Speaker 5: to meant to punch somebody. Yeah, Janie, I think wanted
Speaker 5: the ball for himself.
Speaker 2: And then he was like, oh and.
Speaker 5: By the way, there was another guy who could have
Speaker 5: gotten the ball too, and not just me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 13: My favorite part was Giannis's brother. I can't pronounce his name.
Speaker 13: He's going to earn his keep somehow. You run in
Speaker 13: the locker room too, He run it too, Yiannis told
Speaker 13: him to run.
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't cut it.
Speaker 4: That's a good brother right there.
Speaker 2: Like you can't cut your brother. You can't the bucks
Speaker 2: can't go, you know what.
Speaker 4: He and I mean like brother like actual brothers, yeah,
Speaker 4: actual brother Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh here comes a little brother.
Speaker 13: When when you said Nurkin said I think the brother
Speaker 13: needs help, I was like, man, that guy's been in
Speaker 13: NBA locker room's a long time.
Speaker 2: Ben in Milwaukee, Hi, Ben, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11: Hey? Dan and Dan, that's a very healthy and happy
Speaker 11: holiday season. See you guys, shaking my head at the
Speaker 11: story talk about the Bucks. It's ridiculous. They just need
Speaker 11: to win. But I'm calling because I've got an idea
Speaker 11: to make the end season tournament matter. I think you've
Speaker 11: got to give it gravitas besides making a couple hundred
Speaker 11: thousand dollars. The person team that wins the end season
Speaker 11: gets to bump up a spot in the playoffs. So
Speaker 11: if you're seven, you go to six. If you're the
Speaker 11: last in the league, you're probably not winning the tournament.
Speaker 11: If you're the number one team and you win, then
Speaker 11: you get to host the finals. Even if you don't
Speaker 11: have the best record. It's got to mean something other
Speaker 11: than this. I don't know why they play hard.
Speaker 2: I think it means I think that's too much, Ben,
Speaker 2: But I do like the path you're on there of
Speaker 2: And that's what I said. Okay, there's some financial benefits
Speaker 2: if you win the Ncason Tournament or go far in
Speaker 2: the n season tournament, But can there be something that
Speaker 2: matters later in the season and in the postseason. Can
Speaker 2: it help in any way with that? And you know,
Speaker 2: maybe Ben's onto something there, but it feels like that
Speaker 2: might be I get you know, when the American League
Speaker 2: of the National League, and whoever won the All Star Game,
Speaker 2: then that the American League representative got to host the
Speaker 2: World Series. And I went, no, no, no, no, we
Speaker 2: don't need to do that. But Fox wanted people to
Speaker 2: care about the All Star Game and convinced baseball to
Speaker 2: well give home field advantage to whoever represents, you know,
Speaker 2: the winning team in the World Series.
Speaker 3: Yes, going back to thanas Thaniso. He averages two point
Speaker 3: six points per game over the past five years on
Speaker 3: the bench for the Milwaukee Bucks. He plays about seven
Speaker 3: minutes a game.
Speaker 2: Did they stop the game or did they get the
Speaker 2: game ball when he scored his first points? Checking Now
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with every NBA guy that we have on
Speaker 2: I have to ask, did you get the game ball
Speaker 2: in the game that you scored your first points in?
Speaker 2: I've never heard that. Now, I've never heard that. But
Speaker 2: we did have a former NBA player, Sam Dekker, played
Speaker 2: at Wisconsin and he was listening and he said, no,
Speaker 2: he got he has his basketball. Does Lebron have his
Speaker 2: basketball from the game against Sacramento his first game, his
Speaker 2: first points? I don't know. I never heard that.
Speaker 4: Maybe Doug Christy has that.
Speaker 2: Doug Christie has it Okay, I don't know, Rick and Ohio? Hi? Rick,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Hello? Dan Hirick.
Speaker 17: It's great to talk to the greatest shooter out of
Speaker 17: the Midwest. How's that for buttering out?
Speaker 2: I like it, Rick, You're not that far off. You're
Speaker 2: not that far off.
Speaker 17: They Giannie's basketball. Being a memorabilia collector yourself, if you
Speaker 17: had the choice me between having the non game ball
Speaker 17: and the game ball that he set the one game
Speaker 17: scoring record, which would you rather have? Well, do you
Speaker 17: think would sell for more money?
Speaker 2: So the mistaken ball as opposed to the real one, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I want the real one. I do because I know
Speaker 2: that's going to be worth something. The mistaken ball you
Speaker 2: kind of have to explain the story, and then you know,
Speaker 2: you have to tell people who Oscar schwee bay his
Speaker 2: and that he scored his point. But he'd already scored
Speaker 2: a point against the Lakers, but that was the end.
Speaker 2: He's in tournaments, so it's not really his first official point.
Speaker 2: So guys first point, they give him a basketball. It
Speaker 2: got heated in the hallway after that game over a basketball.
Speaker 2: I want that ball. It would have been great if
Speaker 2: Jannis calls out, Oscar, Oscar, get out here, bring that ball.
Speaker 2: You know what, Let's play one on one.
Speaker 13: Yes, Marvin, I can't wait until my man Oscar goes off.
Speaker 13: The next game, He's the headline is going to be
Speaker 13: Oscar the Grouch going crazy.
Speaker 2: He's averaging one again, he gets one more point of
Speaker 2: game than I do. He's not going off, He's not,
Speaker 2: but it sounds good. I mean, the next time they play,
Speaker 2: Oscar is going off.
Speaker 4: He's starting. I can't believe this is a thing. This
Speaker 4: is so wild.
Speaker 2: When we come back, the NFL is adding more games
Speaker 2: in New country. Does that mean the NFL is no
Speaker 2: longer looking at putting a permanent team in London? I'll
Speaker 2: have that for you coming up next.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
Speaker 1: listen live.
Speaker 2: Has the NFL moved on from maybe trying to put
Speaker 2: a team permanently in London? Feels like adding more games
Speaker 2: in more countries is going to accomplish something better than
Speaker 2: just having a team in London. But this was a
Speaker 2: decade in the making where we're like Okay, London, Okay,
Speaker 2: Jacksonville going to London. London's waiting for a team. Hey,
Speaker 2: they have a stadium, they're ready for an NFL team.
Speaker 2: And now it feels like it's Germany. I think they're
Speaker 2: going to be in Brazil, Spain, maybe Australia for a game.
Speaker 2: They're trying to do a global reach here. And if
Speaker 2: you look at that, now you teams saying we'll give
Speaker 2: up a home game so we can have That's what
Speaker 2: the Chiefs wanted when they played in Germany. They were like,
Speaker 2: we want that territory, we want to own that market,
Speaker 2: we want to be that team for that country. And
Speaker 2: now you're finding teams almost planting that flag to say
Speaker 2: that's our city, that's our country. And it feels like
Speaker 2: and Peter King had a lot of this information in
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football, but it feels like more countries are
Speaker 2: getting games, and we're going to go to an eighteenth
Speaker 2: game eventually, so that extra game might be teams playing
Speaker 2: in other countries and maybe you know, in Canada they
Speaker 2: do something, maybe in Mexico City they do more of that.
Speaker 2: But it feels like you could probably have eight to
Speaker 2: ten countries that you would rotate Now, I don't think
Speaker 2: we're going to export a Super Bowl, at least I
Speaker 2: hope not. You don't need to, but it feels like
Speaker 2: maybe a permanent home for a team is not going
Speaker 2: to be on the agenda.
Speaker 13: Yes, Mark, do you think they do something where the
Speaker 13: closest team in America might go to you know, the
Speaker 13: Cardinals might go to Mexico or to La Chargers or Rams,
Speaker 13: or the Buffalo Bills play in Toronto or something like that,
Speaker 13: where it's like, all right, let's get a built in
Speaker 13: fan base since they're relatively close to those certain teams.
Speaker 2: Well, you could put the Cowboys in Mexico City, but
Speaker 2: they're going to draw wherever they go. But the proximity
Speaker 2: of that, you know, these owners don't want to give
Speaker 2: up a home game with the revenue. But if you can,
Speaker 2: if you can expand your brand and you go into
Speaker 2: another country and you know, the merchandising, you know, the
Speaker 2: the de facto fan base that's in another country. I
Speaker 2: understand it and the importance of that, But I think
Speaker 2: what I would be interested in watching is what teams
Speaker 2: are going to try to claim which country or city
Speaker 2: in a country.
Speaker 3: Yes, this is maybe apples and Oranges. But like soccer
Speaker 3: teams in different countries, they have to have a certain
Speaker 3: amount of international players versus local players. What if NFL
Speaker 3: someday had a rule where you had to have an
Speaker 3: international player on your roster, either on the practice squad
Speaker 3: or the roster itself to encourage I think there's a
Speaker 3: punter from Ireland on the Packers or something more of that,
Speaker 3: because then it plays big in that home country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been rugby players, punters, a lot of punters
Speaker 2: and some kickers from other countries. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you could mandate that unless you said we're going to
Speaker 2: put an extra player it's a fifty four player roster
Speaker 2: instead of fifty three. That player is going to be
Speaker 2: designated from another country. By the way, we have this
Speaker 2: day in sports History, we will close up shop with
Speaker 2: our poll results. Gambling podcast will be taped right after
Speaker 2: the show bad Larry Dylan, the graphics guy, and Shan Irving,
Speaker 2: and we'll have that for you later on this afternoon
Speaker 2: at dan Patrick dot com. All right, this day in
Speaker 2: sports history, Paulink.
Speaker 3: This was a good signing for the Dodgers. In nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty two, they signed pitchers Sandy kofexn eighty four, Howard
Speaker 3: Cosell retired from NFL's Monday at Football and Dan Marine
Speaker 3: was always on it. This time of your nineteen eighty six,
Speaker 3: Damn Reno set the NFL record with his seventh four
Speaker 3: hundred yard game.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. Joe Burrow won the Heisman on this date,
Speaker 2: Desmond Howard won the Heisman on this date, and Steph
Speaker 2: Curry in twenty twenty one passed Ray Allen for the
Speaker 2: most made three pointers in NBA history. Interesting though, that
Speaker 2: Oscar Schweebe got the ball from that night and Steph
Speaker 2: Curry did not. You know, I call back, no, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you. Let me see Brian in Minneapolis. Hi, Brian,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 11: Damn?
Speaker 8: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 17: Good?
Speaker 8: And upon Brook Carlisle, I am trolling Yannis all the way.
Speaker 8: I'm putting Oscars Weeblay into the jump ball and I'm
Speaker 8: having him talk all kinds of mess. I.
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes we're shocked that a story has legs
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden it's like, all right, there's
Speaker 2: more to this, and then more to It's so silly.
Speaker 2: But I think because Yiannis reacted I mean it was
Speaker 2: so visceral and you're like, whoa, it's just basketball. But
Speaker 2: if it's not the Pacers, if that was a game
Speaker 2: against Cleveland and Cleveland did that for a rookie you
Speaker 2: scored his first points? Does he react that way because
Speaker 2: he got a technical earlier when he you know, gave
Speaker 2: a forearm to Tyrese Heliburton. So it was on, and
Speaker 2: it was on because the Pacers celebrated like they had
Speaker 2: won the title when they beat the Bucks in the
Speaker 2: Ncason Tournament. And You'll have to understand, the Pacers haven't
Speaker 2: had reasons to celebrate, so it was a big moment.
Speaker 2: You're beating up your big brother and you got a
Speaker 2: chance to play the Lakers in the Ncason Tournament championship.
Speaker 2: I get it. Are they are they biting off more
Speaker 2: than they're able to handle?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 2: But still fun fun for us. I mean, who's caring
Speaker 2: about a you know, a game on Wednesday in Milwaukee
Speaker 2: in December.
Speaker 4: Nobody great and grind, let's go Pacers.
Speaker 2: But it's it was fun and I watched it, but
Speaker 2: you know, Yannis going for sixty four and it probably
Speaker 2: bothered the Pacers that Yannis continued to try to score.
Speaker 2: You know, he wanted to put up a big number
Speaker 2: there and then it got chippy afterwards. I think Yannis
Speaker 2: is gonna get fined for going after the Pacers. You
Speaker 2: imagine you have to pay and you don't get the basketball,
Speaker 2: like he should say, all right, I'm gonna pay the fine,
Speaker 2: but I need the basketball, the real basketball, none of
Speaker 2: this fake stuff here. Let's see final results of the poll.
Speaker 4: Question.
Speaker 2: See oke we put up there.
Speaker 5: This one's from the toddler who's acted more out of
Speaker 5: character in the past few days, Jannie or Patrick? Right now,
Speaker 5: seventy percent have Patrick Mahomes Okay, more out of character.
Speaker 2: Well, we haven't seen an outburst like this from Mahomes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I think you know, there's always been decorum.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know about Giannis. I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: been a standalone moment or you know, singular moment where
Speaker 2: you go, man, what's up with him? I think he
Speaker 2: gets passionate. But this is that was above and beyond
Speaker 2: the call of duty, and that's where somebody else can
Speaker 2: do this for you, because you don't need to be
Speaker 2: in the hallway calling out the pacers. We need you
Speaker 2: long haul. We don't need you suspended. We don't need
Speaker 2: you engaging with somebody. All right, go around the room.
Speaker 2: What we learned on the program. By the way, Chad
Speaker 2: from Trigger is coming in tomorrow for Meat Friday. Now
Speaker 2: it gets real, all right, Todd? What'd you learn today?
Speaker 2: Nick Wright?
Speaker 15: Says Canaris Tony lined up offside several times in that game,
Speaker 15: and it wasn't called. The chief's anger was that it
Speaker 15: was called on that play, costing them quite possibly the game.
Speaker 4: Whin he touchdown? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But did the NFL do it on purpose? Like did
Speaker 2: the officials go, man, We're gonna wait until it's a
Speaker 2: big moment and then throw a flag. See no, Connor,
Speaker 2: what did you learn to?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 2: Reid isn't sure why they call that? Marvin? What about you?
Speaker 4: Buckspacers, best ribery and sports PAULI?
Speaker 3: After three hours, I know less about where the game
Speaker 3: ball is from last night?
Speaker 2: Vin Todd? What do I learn today?
Speaker 15: Nick Right once again agrees with you that Draymond Green
Speaker 15: is cowardly tough. It's never a fair fight.
