Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Made it to a Friday. It's a meat Friday.
Speaker 1: At that come on in. Everybody's here, including Fritzie Case.
Speaker 1: You're wondering what's on the trigger today? French dip sandwiches,
Speaker 1: smoked macaroni salad, sweet potato fries.
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do? Nobody?
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: Also, music Friday. The theme to Music Friday is what Marvin.
Speaker 5: I get ready, everybody, it's teams from the city for
Speaker 5: bands from the city that you think Otani is going?
Speaker 5: To say that five times.
Speaker 4: And we'll try it again, Marvin, what's the music theme
Speaker 4: today for Friday?
Speaker 5: Bands from the city that you think shohe Otani is
Speaker 5: going to? Okay, So if you think he's going to
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays, you play Drake or some forty one. Okay.
Speaker 4: If San Francisco there's a lot of Bay Area bad Journey, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you could have Journey, Creeden's Clearwater, Steve Miller ban all right.
Speaker 4: Uh so the Chicago Cubs if you think he's going there.
Speaker 4: Los Angeles there's a lot of bands there as well.
Speaker 5: Orange County.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Paulie said that he thinks show Atani's going
Speaker 4: to the Dodgers, therefore his musical act has to be
Speaker 4: from Los Angeles. But Paulie, of course is a diehard
Speaker 4: Rush fan and Rush Getty Lee is a big Toronto
Speaker 4: Blue Jay fan. Missed a golden opportunity.
Speaker 6: Oh that's gonna hault me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I would rather fake pick Toronto to go with Rush.
Speaker 6: I should have wear it my head.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Stat of the Day brought to you by Patini America,
Speaker 4: the official trading cards of this program. I want to
Speaker 4: thank our partners King Swaiian Nice Buns every Sunday Slider Sunday.
Speaker 4: I'm going to make a declaration here and uh, I
Speaker 4: didn't think I was going to say this, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to say this. The moonshine that we have available
Speaker 4: right now, the Peppermint Bark, is the best moonshine that
Speaker 4: we've made so far. Nope, you know what, I thought
Speaker 4: it was salted caramel. I had the Peppermint Bark yesterday.
Speaker 4: In fact, I had it twice because I wanted to
Speaker 4: make sure. And it's the best moonshine that we have
Speaker 4: made so far in my opinion. It's available at Danpatrick
Speaker 4: dot com. Yes, I've heard others backing that up. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's getting rave reviews so far.
Speaker 2: As it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can go to Danpatrick dot com order it.
Speaker 4: Get it in time for the holidays. Great to have
Speaker 4: a Christmas party and serve some tailgate moonshine. All right,
Speaker 4: poll question, Play of the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 4: We check in with the Dallas Cowboys a little bit
Speaker 4: later on. Gronk will join us Rob Gronkowski a little
Speaker 4: later on. Also, Brandal Shambley of the Golf Channel give
Speaker 4: us his opinion on John Ram taking the money and
Speaker 4: running to live tour. We'll talk about that coming up. Also,
Speaker 4: Army Navy coming up this Saturday. Patriots hold off the Steelers.
Speaker 4: If you're a Patriots fan and you're watching that game,
Speaker 4: you may want to watch with pride that, hey, let's
Speaker 4: just look good in a standalone game, even if we lose.
Speaker 4: Let's be competitive, let's have some offense for a change,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, you're getting offense and
Speaker 4: you're winning and you're ruining your draft position.
Speaker 2: That's how I would feel if I was a Patriot fan.
Speaker 4: Like, all right, Bailey, zappy, nice touchdown, Another touchdown, that's
Speaker 4: three touchdown Hey, ease up there, Bailey Zappy, Who do
Speaker 4: you think you are?
Speaker 2: Tom Brady?
Speaker 4: Then you have the Steelers a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: you're seven and four, you got Arizona at home, and
Speaker 4: you got the Patriots.
Speaker 2: You're nine and four, you're going to go to the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Next thing you know, you're seven and six and you
Speaker 4: might not be going to the playoffs. It got booed
Speaker 4: certain fan bases that may not boo as much as
Speaker 4: other fan bases, Saint Louis Cardinal fans. I don't really
Speaker 4: when maybe the Steeler fans, you know, they're spoiled because
Speaker 4: they've usually been treated to really good teams. But they
Speaker 4: were booing Mitchell Trubisky last night. I don't know if
Speaker 4: there was any Matt Canada chance since they fired their
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator because he seemed to be the problem. But
Speaker 4: now they're seven and six. By the way, the Patriots
Speaker 4: are the first team this season to have multiple quarterbacks
Speaker 4: throw three touchdowns in a game. Mac Jones did this
Speaker 4: in Week one, and of course Bailey Zappi last night.
Speaker 4: Now you would think that's an odd stat because if
Speaker 4: you're good enough to throw three touchdown passes in a game.
Speaker 4: You're probably the starting quarterback, but Mac Jones lost his job.
Speaker 4: Bailey Zapi comes in throws through three scores. So here
Speaker 4: are the Steelers lost at home to Arizona and New England.
Speaker 4: Second team in history to lose back to back home
Speaker 4: games to teams with ten plus losses going into the game,
Speaker 4: and the first team with the winning record to do so.
Speaker 7: Day Stana day stand outa day, scant outa day. This
Speaker 7: is the stand of the day.
Speaker 4: So you would think Bill Belichick standalone game. He would
Speaker 4: be really pumped up after a win like that, and
Speaker 4: you would be correct.
Speaker 8: Happy for a team, happy for the coaches. Like I said,
Speaker 8: it was a short week. I'm much sleep this week,
Speaker 8: but they put a lot into it and it's very
Speaker 8: satisfying to see the results that we had today.
Speaker 4: That's kind of bordering on excitement that he did nunciate.
Speaker 4: I could make out every word he said, and he
Speaker 4: didn't just go you know, I was going to win
Speaker 4: for the coaches and I'm just happy to to make
Speaker 4: sure we.
Speaker 3: What was that?
Speaker 6: Bill?
Speaker 2: He's the guest picker for Army Navy coming up this weekend.
Speaker 4: He loves that. I'm guessing since he's a Navy guy.
Speaker 4: His guest picking is going to be the Naval Academy.
Speaker 4: I don't think that would be a big surprise since
Speaker 4: he grew up in that environment. Mike Tomlin, Steve Deeler's
Speaker 4: head coach. Here's the question and then his answer.
Speaker 6: Where do you guys go here?
Speaker 5: What is the direction?
Speaker 2: We get ready for our next opportunity next week? That's
Speaker 2: what we all always do. Obviously this stings, but we'll
Speaker 2: be back. Okay.
Speaker 4: All he does is produce winning records, does that every
Speaker 4: year and still might do that. But boy, that was
Speaker 4: a golden opportunity. You have Arizona at home, you have
Speaker 4: New England at home, and you lose both of those
Speaker 4: in a very competitive division there in the AFC North
Speaker 4: All right, eight seven, seven to three DP Show operator
Speaker 4: Tyler is standing by to take your phone calls. Seaton Pole.
Speaker 4: Question for hour one is going to be, well, we
Speaker 4: could start with Bill Belichick and the Patriots. Is Bill
Speaker 4: Belichick happy the Patriots won last night? Heck yeah or
Speaker 4: heck no. Well, if he's going to be there next year,
Speaker 4: then maybe privately you're not. But you know, if you're
Speaker 4: a Patriot fan and you want to get a great
Speaker 4: draft pick. You'd like to be in the top two
Speaker 4: so you get a franchise potential, franchise quarterback. Bill Belichick
Speaker 4: just wants to win, trying to set the all time
Speaker 4: record for victories. And if he's coaching after this, maybe
Speaker 4: in another place, then he'll probably look back and say,
Speaker 4: you know, got a couple of victories there that was great,
Speaker 4: and I don't know how many he's behind Don Shula.
Speaker 4: What is he still like twelve fourteen away if we
Speaker 4: can check that with his victory total, yeah, pauling.
Speaker 6: The draft order as of today, the Bears are still
Speaker 6: clear with Carolina's pick. They could afford a win by
Speaker 6: Carolina and the Bears still get the number one pick.
Speaker 6: New England is three and ten have the number two
Speaker 6: pick of the draft. Arizonas three and ten have number
Speaker 6: three pick of the draft. That strength of schedule, if
Speaker 6: the Caroline I'm sorry, if New England wins one more game,
Speaker 6: they go into that list with four and eighteens, four
Speaker 6: and nine teams, and it could be anywhere. It could
Speaker 6: be anywhere from four to nine they could be picking.
Speaker 4: According to DraftKings this morning, the Patriots over under for
Speaker 4: wins this season four and a half, Panthers over under
Speaker 4: two and a half, Cardinals over under four and a half,
Speaker 4: the Giants over under four and a half, the Jets
Speaker 4: over under five and a half.
Speaker 2: Static the day of the day that best. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I was trying to make it so dramatic there,
Speaker 2: but here comes that stat of the day.
Speaker 4: It just feels like that last game of the season.
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick, all if they lose this game, they could
Speaker 4: end up with the second pick in the draft. They're
Speaker 4: facing the Jets and the Patriots win. Bill's exit is there,
Speaker 4: you go, Good luck trying to find a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 4: You're not going to have one of the top two picks.
Speaker 4: Good night, everybody. Yes, Tom, Looking at three.
Speaker 5: Forty seven and three point thirty two, that suggests Belichick
Speaker 5: as fifteen.
Speaker 2: Fifteen minutes behind. Okay, thank you? All right?
Speaker 4: Any other poll questions you're thinking about today, they're seat
Speaker 4: noe punter.
Speaker 9: Okay, of course? All right, how about this one. We
Speaker 9: haven't really hit on this topic yet today. How much
Speaker 9: more interested are you in live golf now that John
Speaker 9: ram is on board?
Speaker 2: Very slightly or not? Really? Is there snark attention to that?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 9: I think it's a real question. Okay, I know that.
Speaker 9: For me, I was just like, uh, don't really care.
Speaker 9: But for other people, this was a seismic shift in golf.
Speaker 9: It was a massive, massive move. It had been rumored
Speaker 9: for a while.
Speaker 4: I don't know if if John ram is playing and
Speaker 4: in contention, then I do want to watch that, because
Speaker 4: he's a great golfer. But I don't watch a tournament
Speaker 4: going as John Rahm in this He's got two majors.
Speaker 4: You know, he got an offer he couldn't refuse, and
Speaker 4: and good for him. No, I have a problem when
Speaker 4: you have a problem with the format of live but
Speaker 4: then you're going to get this money. You don't have
Speaker 4: a problem with the format of the live tour. If
Speaker 4: the live tour played four rounds, that's all I care about.
Speaker 4: I mean, I watched the DP World Tour. I watch
Speaker 4: LPGA play four rounds. That's all I'm asking. If you
Speaker 4: do that, then great, I'd love to watch that. But
Speaker 4: you play three rounds, no cut, You have teams, you
Speaker 4: get to wear shorts, and you play loud music. It's
Speaker 4: not interesting. But I'm interested in those great players. And
Speaker 4: then you have Taylor Gooch, who is on the Live
Speaker 4: Tour who comes out and says, you know, maybe those
Speaker 4: naysayras will realize we have great players on the Live Tour.
Speaker 4: Nobody ever said that, Taylor, and you're not one of
Speaker 4: the great players. No one said you don't have good
Speaker 4: players on the Live Tour. We would like to see
Speaker 4: those players play the same kind of events, the same
Speaker 4: length as the PGA Tour. If you said, I can
Speaker 4: watch Brooks, Brooks, Koepka and Bryson Deshamba go head to head,
Speaker 4: or Bubba or Phil Great play four rounds, play grown
Speaker 4: up golf, not Hey, this is so wild. We're playing
Speaker 4: three rounds or in shorts. Yes, and we're playing loud music.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2: And there's music.
Speaker 4: Yeah, John Ram going there. I don't know what it means,
Speaker 4: but you know, keep in mind with in fairness to genreme,
Speaker 4: the PGA Tour went behind the PGA Tour's back to
Speaker 4: negotiate with Livetour. You know, Rory was out there dying
Speaker 4: on the hill, you know, talking and John Ram. They
Speaker 4: stood up for the PGA Tour and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, the PGA Tour didn't stand up for them.
Speaker 4: They made a deal. I don't I don't begrudged John
Speaker 4: rom from taking that money general wealth, but just tell
Speaker 4: me you're doing it for that, don't say you know
Speaker 4: what I'm looking and I really like what they do
Speaker 4: and you know, doing some different things there. No, you
Speaker 4: didn't like this before, John, Now you do take the money.
Speaker 4: It's generational wealth. I understand it. I don't begrudge you
Speaker 4: at all. And what happened when you stood up for
Speaker 4: the PGA tour, I get it. But is there a
Speaker 4: price tag for everybody?
Speaker 2: There is?
Speaker 4: There's a price tag. John found out that Live would
Speaker 4: meet his price. I don't know why they're spending that
Speaker 4: money if they're eventually going to merge, But this is
Speaker 4: all you want to do. A golfer who I know
Speaker 4: said this to me last night. All we want to
Speaker 4: do is play in the majors. And if you're good
Speaker 4: enough to play for the Ryder Cup, that's all you
Speaker 4: care about the other stuff.
Speaker 2: You're going to make all that money.
Speaker 4: Maybe nobody's watching, but you get to play in the majors,
Speaker 4: that's all you care about.
Speaker 2: And if you get to play in the.
Speaker 4: In the Ryder Cup, and the Ryder Cup is very
Speaker 4: important to John h and he's going to be able
Speaker 4: to play in these majors.
Speaker 2: He's got a US Open and a Master's. That's all
Speaker 2: they care about, you.
Speaker 4: Know, they're the John Deere Classic or you know some
Speaker 4: of these other events. I mean, yeah, you're required to
Speaker 4: play in a certain number of events, but you know,
Speaker 4: when it comes down to what are you judged on majors?
Speaker 4: Not how many wins you have on tour, John, I
Speaker 4: think as eleven wins on tour. But I don't know
Speaker 4: if it changes anything. I'm still going to watch a
Speaker 4: golf event and if those guys aren't in it. I
Speaker 4: watched golf all the time, but I don't go, yeah,
Speaker 4: where's Bubba, Where's Brooks Koepka? Now when they play, I
Speaker 4: enjoy it, but they're not, So I just appreciate the
Speaker 4: golf that's played in front of me. Is John Rahm
Speaker 4: going to make me go I gotta find that live
Speaker 4: Tour event? And the answer is no. But if he
Speaker 4: is playing, and maybe it's a bigger it's global, maybe
Speaker 4: Spanish fans will care that John is now on the
Speaker 4: Live Tour.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I.
Speaker 4: Don't begrudge him. Here is John Rahm talking about the
Speaker 4: decision to go to live.
Speaker 10: The money is great, obviously, is wonderful, But what I've
Speaker 10: said before is true. I do not play golf for
Speaker 10: the money. I play golf for the love of the
Speaker 10: game and for the love of golf. But as a husband,
Speaker 10: as a father, and as a family man, I have
Speaker 10: a duty to my family to give them the best
Speaker 10: opportunities and the most amount of resources possible.
Speaker 2: And that's where that comes in.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 10: Obviously, it is a factor, and it was an important
Speaker 10: one obviously in this decision, but there's many other things
Speaker 10: like I mentioned earlier that make it so exciting.
Speaker 4: Okay, you took the money, yet they met your price.
Speaker 4: You took the money, good for you. But if you
Speaker 4: tell me it's about golf, you're not playing real golf
Speaker 4: on livetur That's my problem with it. You want to
Speaker 4: play real golf and it means something to you.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 4: I love seeing his emotion. I love that he has
Speaker 4: spirit and he cares and it matters, But you're not
Speaker 4: playing real golf. Live is manufactured. Three rounds, no cut yay,
Speaker 4: no drama, that's what they have.
Speaker 2: No drama, yes time, yeah.
Speaker 5: But it's evolved and there's all kinds of new innovation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, at least that's what John Ram is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe, you know, if they were drinking, then
Speaker 4: maybe I would watch with their you know, wearing shorts,
Speaker 4: loud music and everybody had to shoot a beer every
Speaker 4: every hole. All right, now, there that's something at least entertaining.
Speaker 4: But it's not real. That's what I always come back
Speaker 4: to himself. John Ram is going to live to her?
Speaker 4: Anybody else going to follow? What's that do for the merger?
Speaker 2: A mess? I A mess? All right, let me take
Speaker 2: a break. We'll settle on a pole. Question.
Speaker 4: Phone calls are always welcome eight seven to seven, three
Speaker 4: DP show. Congrats to the Pacers and Lakers. They'll meet

Speaker 5: Because I think he's going to the Dodgers. Okay? On
Speaker 5: fact House of Pain not from Boston.
Speaker 6: That just blew my mind.
Speaker 4: By the way, I didn't know there was a debate.
Speaker 5: Well, so if you watch the Hause of Pain video, Yeah, everlast,
Speaker 5: the lead rapper, I guess, has a you know jersey
Speaker 5: on Larry Bird Jersey. You're out of Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
Speaker 5: Oh and it's got you know a lot of Boston
Speaker 5: in it. But those guys are from Los Angeles.
Speaker 6: So I made a second source on this one.
Speaker 5: Everybody thinks they're from Boston. Yep.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, all right, fair enough, all right, Age
Speaker 4: seven seven three DP show email address DPA Dan Patrick
Speaker 4: dot com Twitter handling TP show. It's a coming out
Speaker 4: party for Tyrese Halliburton, just to let you know. It's
Speaker 4: almost like he spent a couple of years to become
Speaker 4: an overnight sensation. He's out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, goes to
Speaker 4: Iowa State, has a good career, and he's drafted I
Speaker 4: think eleventh or twelfth by the Sacramento Kings. And I
Speaker 4: noticed him as rookie year just because I tend to
Speaker 4: watch watch the teams that I don't think other people
Speaker 4: are watching, and I go, this guy's got a funky shot,
Speaker 4: but he's good.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden he got traded.
Speaker 4: Now, all of a sudden, every analyst is telling me
Speaker 4: that they thought that he should have gone to another team,
Speaker 4: and another team should have wanted him.
Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody thought anything about.
Speaker 4: Tyrese Haliburton when he goes to the Pacers, because Sabonis
Speaker 4: goes to Sacramento and it was like, hey, the King's
Speaker 4: got Sabonis. Nobody said, hey, the Pacers got Haliburton. Well,
Speaker 4: he is good, maybe bordering on very good, maybe great.
Speaker 4: He's my Shay gilgis Alexander this year and what they're doing.
Speaker 4: The Pacers score, and here they are playing the Lakers
Speaker 4: for the n season Tournament. But everybody knew Tyre's Halliburton was.
Speaker 2: Going to be great.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, all right, took a couple of years,
Speaker 4: but now I'm finding out. Steven A last night, prior
Speaker 4: to the game, I told you the Nick should have
Speaker 4: taken him.
Speaker 2: I said the Nick should have taken them, all right.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna believe you. I don't remember anybody being demonstrative
Speaker 4: about Tyrese.
Speaker 5: Haliburt Tyrese Halliburton.
Speaker 4: And then Shaq is on interviewing Tyrese Halliburton and his dad,
Speaker 4: and Shaq goes, I'm paraphrasing. I bet he was like,
Speaker 4: you might be my favorite player right now.
Speaker 2: And then he called him by the wrong name.
Speaker 4: He said something, and then Ernie jumped in and you know,
Speaker 4: maybe it was Tyson and he called him Tyree.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, Tyre's, you might be my favorite player, Tyson. No,
Speaker 2: it's Tyres Haliburton.
Speaker 4: But he is h He's bawling out, as the kids
Speaker 4: like to say, and putting up some pretty impressive numbers.
Speaker 4: But the Pacers beat the Bucks last night to advance
Speaker 4: to the finals. They're averaging one hundred and thirty two
Speaker 4: point seven points per game during the n season tournament.
Speaker 4: They're averaging one twenty eight point four overall this season.
Speaker 4: Both are most in the NBA, and Haliburton had twenty
Speaker 4: seven and fifteen in his six in season tournament games.
Speaker 4: Only the Joker with the thirty two ten is averaging
Speaker 4: better than what he is, and he's averaging almost twenty
Speaker 4: nine and thirteen.
Speaker 2: And a half assists.
Speaker 4: It's good. You know, I'm happy for the Pacers. And
Speaker 4: if the Pacers beat the Lakers, you want to put
Speaker 4: up a banner, go ahead, Hell, yes, you got room,
Speaker 4: you got the whole ceiling. Maybe there's some ABA banners
Speaker 4: in there. Or when you went to the NBA finals once.
Speaker 9: Yes, Yes, if I owned a team, I would absolutely
Speaker 9: do stupid stuff like that, like let's go bannernight, we
Speaker 9: want it, Summer League, let's go T shirts hats.
Speaker 2: I'd have a parade.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be great as an in season parade for
Speaker 4: the Pacers.
Speaker 6: Gotta be short because they got to get back to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: December and Indiana, Yeah, come on, everybody, come on.
Speaker 3: Come on, good time.
Speaker 6: Come I'm in.
Speaker 2: I would have.
Speaker 4: I would have a celebratory parade, absolutely, yes, Mark, Like.
Speaker 5: Oh, the Nicks made a huge mistake by trading Obie
Speaker 5: Top and I can't even believe it. They won. The
Speaker 5: NC isn't turning me?
Speaker 2: How many pacers can you name? Current? Can you name.
Speaker 5: Bruce Brown? Okay, Obie? Maybe I shouldn't do this.
Speaker 2: Yo, you're yeah, you're pretty well versed in this.
Speaker 6: Yes, I did see Buddy Heal last night. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: heard he was on the Pacers, but I confirmed it
Speaker 6: last night.
Speaker 4: It feels like every year Buddy Heald's name comes up
Speaker 4: as maybe Lakers go out and get Buddy Healed.
Speaker 2: They could use it.
Speaker 4: A guy like Buddy Heal's they never get, but they
Speaker 4: need a guy like Buddy Heel still do Yeah, Buddy
Speaker 4: Heel so a coming out party for Tyrese Haliburton and
Speaker 4: watches Jumper though it drives me crazy.
Speaker 2: It's got a.
Speaker 4: Side and then a snap to it, like Shawn Marion. No, no, no,
Speaker 4: Seawn Marion's he shot from his belt buckle. He like
Speaker 4: a little whatever. It was Halliburton. You know it would
Speaker 4: if I would have known him growing up, I'd be like, dude,
Speaker 4: I got to help you.
Speaker 2: Change your shot.
Speaker 6: And if we have him in studios, yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: Tell him that.
Speaker 4: I would just say, tell me, help me understand how
Speaker 4: you ended up with this release because it's a side
Speaker 4: in a snap.
Speaker 5: Yes, Ray Allen's wondering how many more points you would
Speaker 5: have had if it would have gotten your advice years ago.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to help out Haliburton. Now I can't help
Speaker 4: out Ray Allen anymore. I mean I did help him
Speaker 4: a little bit, and I don't think he was welcoming
Speaker 4: my advice there.
Speaker 2: That was so awkward. You know you're doing that wrong.
Speaker 5: I know that was incredible that you told him.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 4: But he had the ball on the palm of his
Speaker 4: hand and I said, no, no, you need a little separation.
Speaker 4: There should be more on your fingertips. I'm telling one
Speaker 4: of the greatest shooters, maybe five greatest shooters.
Speaker 2: Of all time.
Speaker 4: Imagine if he had done what I told him to do,
Speaker 4: maybe he's the second greatest shooter of all time.
Speaker 2: Yampoo.
Speaker 6: Okay, So in the game last night, Halliburton Pacers, he
Speaker 6: makes a big three turns. The crowd's going crazy. He
Speaker 6: hits the Dame celebration hitting his wrist. Dame's right there.
Speaker 5: Do you guys like it?
Speaker 6: Love it? Or too soon for Halliburton.
Speaker 4: Here's Dame Lillard on Halliburton during Dame time.
Speaker 12: I learned as a as a kid, you know, when
Speaker 12: you dish it out, you got to be willing to
Speaker 12: take it. And for as many times as I've done
Speaker 12: it to people, you know, I can't be upset when
Speaker 12: somebody else does it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I think that's also.
Speaker 12: A sign of respect and acknowledgment for you know, knowing
Speaker 12: my history and knowing what I do, and you know
Speaker 12: I didn't mind it was what it was. I just
Speaker 12: I've also known that, you know, when you have in
Speaker 12: your moment is it's important to be careful and to
Speaker 12: be humble when you're having your moments because you just
Speaker 12: never know how to Tayle's turn and when they're gonna turn.
Speaker 12: So I respected it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll see you.
Speaker 4: He was respectful, but sending a message here, sending him here.
Speaker 4: Let me set my watch to Dame time the next
Speaker 4: time we face the pacers. Easy, young, easy, like there
Speaker 4: was respect. He knows Dame time. And but you gotta
Speaker 4: be humble. You never know, can we find out when
Speaker 4: the Bucks play the Pacers again.
Speaker 9: That would be New Year's Day, Dan, Monday, January first,
Speaker 9: thank you.
Speaker 4: See, all right, I'm gonna take a I'm a sneak
Speaker 4: a peek at that now all of a sudden, I'm
Speaker 4: interested a little bit more when the Pacers meet the Bucks.
Speaker 2: Yes, Todd, you can kind of disabey have it.
Speaker 9: Actually, actually it's even earlier than that.
Speaker 4: Is it Christmas? They're playing the thirteenth. Oh so next
Speaker 4: week in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: That's convenient. I like it? Okay it flex okay, over.
Speaker 4: Under Wednesday game, remember thirteenth, eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: Let's go time.
Speaker 2: Who scores more?
Speaker 5: Oh Dame? Oh he does scores more than Wilt? Try
Speaker 5: go ahead, Tyres okay.
Speaker 9: All right, young fella, okay, young fella, No.
Speaker 2: Come out out here? Does Holiburton take the bait? Come
Speaker 2: on out here?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 4: Oh oh, how deep is the first shot that Dame takes?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: Is it like forty forty feet? Just a a young
Speaker 4: fella more where that came from? You do want to
Speaker 4: make that first one, though, and you want to make
Speaker 4: sure it's where you hear that swish?
Speaker 9: Yes, I think he actually starts closer to the hoop
Speaker 9: and slowly gets further out as the game goes on.
Speaker 9: So by the end of it, he's just absolutely destroying
Speaker 9: the Pacers and he's hitting, you know, he's.
Speaker 2: Doing logo stuff, yes, Marv.
Speaker 5: And Dame hasn't really gone off yet this season, so.
Speaker 4: He's way had one big game I think right, like
Speaker 4: early and Giannis was out and I think he had
Speaker 4: a big number, right, yeah, Pauline.
Speaker 6: If Lillard were being honest, would he want to score
Speaker 6: sixty on Helliburton and lose a close game or twenty
Speaker 6: five in a win if he was being honest with
Speaker 6: himself a regular season, early December game, and what would
Speaker 6: you do if you were in issues?
Speaker 2: I think I might want to put up sixty, Yeah,
Speaker 2: even if it's a loss.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's an honest answer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Marv.
Speaker 5: You know what, but Dame's moore into the like when
Speaker 5: you hit the big shot.
Speaker 2: Well, that's Dame time.
Speaker 5: That's Dame time.
Speaker 4: It's not game time, right, it's not the entire game,
Speaker 4: it's what time is it? It's Dame time. I just
Speaker 4: hit a jumper. I loved it. I mean, what do
Speaker 4: the Pacers have to celebrate? It was a big moment there.
Speaker 4: It was a fun moment. It feels like this. You know,
Speaker 4: ratings are up for the Ncason Tournament now. It's great
Speaker 4: marketing by the NBA because the games don't mean more.
Speaker 4: If they meant something when we got to the postseason,
Speaker 4: then I would I think that I'd be a little
Speaker 4: bit more curious about it. It's just, hey, you won this,
Speaker 4: and you guys are going to get five hundred thousand dollars. Okay,
Speaker 4: But that marketing has been really good. And normally we
Speaker 4: don't care about basketball until Christmas. The commissioner came up
Speaker 4: with something where we care about it now and credit
Speaker 4: to him, and then they're going to culminate this with
Speaker 4: the title game in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Seton.
Speaker 9: I love that the Pacers haven't had a winning record
Speaker 9: in like four or five years, and Tyres Haliburt and
Speaker 9: this like few year overnight success. They finally get a
Speaker 9: pre Christmas win and he's doing Dame time, selly mister December. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: it's December, it's before Christmas.
Speaker 2: And he's like, that's right, it's my time. It's good.
Speaker 6: There's snow in the air. You had no part of me.
Speaker 2: I love that so much. It's great. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the tournament. Yeah yeah, not the tournament, but
Speaker 4: a tournament. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 5: I love it because as excited as the Pacers were
Speaker 5: after the Lakers Pelicans game, the woman was asking Lebron
Speaker 5: about you know, you had a great game, you had
Speaker 5: and he's a tournament. He goes relaxes December. You could
Speaker 5: tell like all right, like all right, Junas what's important.
Speaker 5: But for the Pacers, I'm celebrating any win.
Speaker 4: The Lakers won by forty four against the Pelicans, and
Speaker 4: Lebron was great.
Speaker 2: I mean it was almost systematic.
Speaker 4: You know, here's thirty I'm gonna make all my three pointers,
Speaker 4: zero turnovers, and it's still amazing at his age what
Speaker 4: he does and you just watch him, you go, he's
Speaker 4: still the best player on the floor. Zion Williamson he
Speaker 4: played twenty three minutes Lebron did at thirty points. But
Speaker 4: with Zion, I just I'm not gonna say I worry,
Speaker 4: but I would say there has to be a level
Speaker 4: of concern of do you want to be great? Because
Speaker 4: he's the classic example of I've been great all my life.
Speaker 4: I've been there with aau with highlights, with YouTube video.
Speaker 2: All of this at Duke one year.
Speaker 4: Now, we're kind of waiting because I think these next
Speaker 4: two years are going to be really important. He's going
Speaker 4: to get his money, He'll get paid. I just think
Speaker 4: we might look at this and go what he could
Speaker 4: have been if he wanted to be. And I'm not
Speaker 4: the only one that brings this up. Charles Barkley's more
Speaker 4: direct with him, because Charles sees I think some of
Speaker 4: himself in Zion and he sees where you know, Charles
Speaker 4: got that motivational talk that you know, tough talk from
Speaker 4: Moses Malone, like you have a chance to be special.
Speaker 2: Do you want to be special?
Speaker 4: You need to get a diet, you need to care
Speaker 4: about this, you need to get in shape. And that's
Speaker 4: what Charles is saying because he sees himself, or at least
Speaker 4: the embryonic stages of his game where Zion is right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pull, I've been thinking about this. I watched Zion
Speaker 6: the other day. I think we may all have to
Speaker 6: recalibrate zion expectations and realize it's never going to be great.
Speaker 6: Why because if you expect him to be like Duke,
Speaker 6: where he's blocking shots with his elbow, and hitting his
Speaker 6: head on the rim. I think those days.
Speaker 2: Are well, well, I don't care about that, but I think.
Speaker 6: That's what the casual fan.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I want him to be consistent in play.
Speaker 6: If you look at his stats, they're nice, like he
Speaker 6: passes the ball well, he's a great uh. He never
Speaker 6: takes threes anymore. He plays well bar on the rim.
Speaker 6: He's a nice remounder, but he's not special in any category.
Speaker 6: And it feels like that's what it's going to be.
Speaker 6: And you know, not a bust or anything. But I
Speaker 6: don't think he's ever going to be the highlight guy
Speaker 6: because I don't know if the weight or the pounding
Speaker 6: or whatever has taken a toll. And this is Apple's
Speaker 6: and origin. Remember Marie Stodemeyer after he had microfracture surgery
Speaker 6: and he was less explosive, but he was still a
Speaker 6: nice post player.
Speaker 4: And Zion's doing windmill dunks in warmups but not playing.
Speaker 2: In the game.
Speaker 6: It doesn't seem like the explosiveness is there during the game.
Speaker 6: And he was a big guy at Duke and he
Speaker 6: was all over the place. He's one of the quickest
Speaker 6: jumpers I've ever seen. His second jump is as quick
Speaker 6: as anybody I've ever seen. I just don't know how
Speaker 6: much it means to him. I mean, you get all
Speaker 6: this money, you're a star. You know, how much do
Speaker 6: you want?
Speaker 4: The motivation is what is always a great curiosity with
Speaker 4: these players, and really it can define if you're a
Speaker 4: good player or a Hall of Famer because of how
Speaker 4: much it matters to you.
Speaker 5: Yes, and when he's healthy, he's an All Star player,
Speaker 5: not like, oh he's a French All Star. No, he's
Speaker 5: a legit All Star. He played, He played an All
Speaker 5: Star game when he was healthy that one season he
Speaker 5: made the All Star team. And it wasn't like, oh,
Speaker 5: he's only there getting voted in by the by the fans.
Speaker 5: He was there because he played great. You know, he
Speaker 5: was easily a twenty two and eight guy. He might
Speaker 5: have been more than more than that. Probably he might
Speaker 5: have been a twenty seven. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6: His second year in the league Zion, he played sixty
Speaker 6: one games. At twenty years old, he was averaging twenty
Speaker 6: seven points, seven rebounds, five assists. I mean he was
Speaker 6: an all purpose player. He was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and now it's like twenty two points, six rebounds,
Speaker 6: five assists.
Speaker 4: He's a nice all purpose player. He's not gonna I
Speaker 4: wonder this next contract if he's in New Orleans. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's how talented he is. He's a bus right now
Speaker 4: to us. He's averaging twenty two.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying he's a bush.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that that I'm waiting.
Speaker 4: I'm waiting right right, But I think these next two
Speaker 4: years are really really important. Let me take a break.
Speaker 4: Got our player of the day coming up. We'll get
Speaker 4: to your phone calls as well. Back after this.
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. John I just had a report. I don't
Speaker 1: is it breaking news what he has?
Speaker 6: Paulie, not really, he but he was on MLB network,
Speaker 6: he says source show Hey Otani's decision is imminent. Decision
Speaker 6: is imminent, like he's made it, possibly as early as today.
Speaker 2: He says.
Speaker 6: The Blue Jays are one of the finalists for show,
Speaker 6: Hey Tani.
Speaker 2: He is, but how many finalists though? We don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because if they're one of four or five finalists,
Speaker 4: then that's not breaking news.
Speaker 6: Will people be shocked nationwide if it's the Blue Jays, Yes.
Speaker 4: Yes, because he's right there in the backyard of the
Speaker 4: Dodgers and the Giants have whiffed on a couple of
Speaker 4: big free agents here recently. But but you know, you
Speaker 4: he's going to own Canada and he'll be a big
Speaker 4: deal in the United States. If you go back to
Speaker 4: Lebron when he was with the Cavaliers, he didn't have
Speaker 4: to be in a big market. He was in Cleveland.
Speaker 4: He was the market. And that's the same thing with
Speaker 4: Shoe Heeyotonic. You get to go and play in a
Speaker 4: ballpark where it's a beautiful ballpark and you have you know,
Speaker 4: the conditions aren't going to change because you're in a
Speaker 4: dome and you're able to go there. And this is
Speaker 4: similar to the ballpark he had when he was in Japan.
Speaker 4: You can go there and you could be a big star,
Speaker 4: but maybe you're not. You know, it's not Spotlight, it's
Speaker 4: not New York, it's not la I don't know if
Speaker 4: less pressure is fair to him, but it feels because
Speaker 4: you're in the Al East, so you're going to be
Speaker 4: going to Boston and Yankee Stadium plus the number of
Speaker 4: times he gets to go to Yankee Stadium. He's probably
Speaker 4: going to like that that short right field porch there
Speaker 4: for him. But it feels like Toronto is getting a
Speaker 4: little bit more momentum than I thought they were going to,
Speaker 4: because I thought all along it was the Giants. Then
Speaker 4: I was told yesterday, you know, I know you said
Speaker 4: the Giants, but the Dodgers still have the hammer. I go,
Speaker 4: what's the hammer they have Los Angeles? He doesn't have
Speaker 4: to move, And he said, the only hurdle could be
Speaker 4: Joe Kelly whars number seventeen.
Speaker 2: And I go, that's not a hurdle.
Speaker 4: Joe Kelly, Joe, you'll be happy to give up number seventeen, right,
Speaker 4: Yes you will.
Speaker 2: If not, then we'd be happy to give up Joe Kelly.
Speaker 4: You imagine if they said, you know, Tani was going
Speaker 4: to the Dodgers, Joe Kelly wouldn't give up his jersey, Like,
Speaker 4: I just can't do it, Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry something. I'm attached to this. I love this.
Speaker 4: It's my number, all right. So that's where we are
Speaker 4: right now. I think by the end of the day
Speaker 4: we know where shohe Atani's going now. Also, keep in
Speaker 4: mind John Morosi brought this up yesterday. Once he agrees,
Speaker 4: and he's gonna have to have all these medical tests.
Speaker 4: He's going to be in an MRI, like a total
Speaker 4: body scan to find out how healthy. If I'm ponying
Speaker 4: up five, you know, five hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 4: for this guy, I'm gonna guess I want to see, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, what the parts look like there?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: A couple of phone calls Buddha and San Francisco. Hi Buddha,
Speaker 4: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3: Nobody happy to meet Friday Boy, a pretty uh zap
Speaker 3: bitty dude out Dan glop blop to you, good pool yesterday,
Speaker 3: the Steelers and Patriots crushing the over under last night,
Speaker 3: and uh Dan John Rahm going to the Lift Tour.
Speaker 3: It's just fine by me, who cares, But.
Speaker 2: Like you know, just don't lie to me.
Speaker 3: Don't just say you just say he took the money.
Speaker 3: Don't give me a bunch of bull junk and try
Speaker 3: to hide the elephant in the room. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 3: even Fritzy's Valley Girl can see what's going on here.
Speaker 3: He's lying and Dan as a die hard Laker fan.
Speaker 3: I guess I got to address Lebron and give him
Speaker 3: credit for what he's doing at his age. I'm happy
Speaker 3: for the boys, but I can already start hearing the
Speaker 3: declarations if Lebron and a Lakers win, well, Michael Jordan
Speaker 3: never won in a season tournament title. The goat debate
Speaker 3: over question marks like come on, man and the Lakers
Speaker 3: one hundred percent should have a parade.
Speaker 2: No, nobody's going to be bringing that up. Jordan didn't
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 4: And it does it matter big picture legacy, Absolutely not
Speaker 4: unless somebody is really fishing and trying to manufacture something.
Speaker 2: But no, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: I still go back to, and it's one that I
Speaker 4: think is a fair discussion the longevity of Lebron for
Speaker 4: over two decades or Jordan's career, which was what thirteen
Speaker 4: or fourteen years? You could have both of those careers
Speaker 4: if you're an owner or a GM, which one would
Speaker 4: you take? And it's worth a discussion because do I
Speaker 4: get six titles with Mike, Yes, I get what ten
Speaker 4: appearances in the finals with Lebron? I got four titles
Speaker 4: and counting, and I have consistency and longevity that his
Speaker 4: team is always going to be a playoff team. I
Speaker 4: think you got to factor that in with all of this.
Speaker 4: Because Lebron may have the greatest basketball career of all time.
Speaker 4: Mike is the best player of all time, and there's
Speaker 4: a difference in that. But if I'm an owner and
Speaker 4: this is about business, which it is, then do I
Speaker 4: want twenty plus years with Lebron at that high of
Speaker 4: a level, being consistent and competitive, or do I want
Speaker 4: Mike and then a drop off like the Bulls had
Speaker 4: where they haven't recovered. I think it's a fair discussion,
Speaker 4: not who's the best player, but if you're looking at
Speaker 4: best career, then you'd probably do Lebron. All right, Hour
Speaker 4: two coming up, we're gonna check in with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: What changed after their bye week or did anything change?
Speaker 4: Randall Shamblay of Golf Channel will give us his thoughts
Speaker 4: on John Rahm, and Gronk is going to join us.
Speaker 4: Coming up in the final hour of the program, phone
Speaker 4: calls will get to more of those eight seven seven
