Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2: On this Monday. Hope you had a great weekend. Gangzo
Speaker 2: here ready to go, Gino Oriema, the Yukon women's team
Speaker 2: just won another national championship. He'll join us. Coming up
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley, who is technically still the two time defending
Speaker 2: head coach of the Yukon Huskies until tonight when Florida
Speaker 2: and Houston meet. Florida favored by one tip off eight
Speaker 2: point fifty Eastern Time. Plan accordingly eight seven seven to three.
Speaker 2: DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
Speaker 2: DP show. We'll be at the NFL Draft, a lot
Speaker 2: of people with a lot of questions. We'll try to
Speaker 2: answer those. We'll be at the bar On home Grown Way,
Speaker 2: located about three blocks from Lambeau famous for their wings,
Speaker 2: and we will be there Wednesday, Thursday Friday doing the show.
Speaker 2: And there's no tickets, just you show up and we'll
Speaker 2: get as many people in to watch the show as
Speaker 2: we can. And then there's a meet and greet that
Speaker 2: Wednesday night from four to six and you can stop
Speaker 2: by as well. Once again, first come, first serve, but
Speaker 2: I'll be there with all the dan Eds. We'll take
Speaker 2: questions from the audience and it'll be great to say
Speaker 2: lo to our fans in Greenback.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Poll question for hour two is gonna be what Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 4: Well, we had up there hour one, who had the
Speaker 4: best weekend Alexander Rovechkin, Kelvin Sampson or Yukon women. Basically,
Speaker 4: Page Becker's and gen Aria. Ovechkin's got fifty four percent
Speaker 4: of that vote. Kelvin Sampson only eighteen percent. I feel
Speaker 4: like that should be seen as a bigger win for him.
Speaker 2: But well, I think he's got some baggage as well,
Speaker 2: so maybe you're not going to get a not exactly
Speaker 2: an embraceable coach with some of the other things that
Speaker 2: have happened. But man, they played hard, They did not
Speaker 2: lose their composure. And he he's been here before. Now,
Speaker 2: he hasn't won a national title, but he's been here before.
Speaker 2: And you saw that they played as if they had
Speaker 2: their composure and Duke did not game on the line
Speaker 2: big moments, and Duke lost that game. They collapsed, but
Speaker 2: Houston took advantage. You know, teams collapse all the time,
Speaker 2: but you have to take advantage of that, and that's
Speaker 2: what Houston did. Houston made big plays, made big shots.
Speaker 2: They're tough too, yeah they are, but they you know,
Speaker 2: that's emblematic of how Kelvin Samson coaches. And I wondered
Speaker 2: when we were making predictions on Friday. I thought Auburn
Speaker 2: was going to win, and they were leading there for
Speaker 2: a while, and then all of a sudden, Florida decided,
Speaker 2: you know what, Oh, that's right, we have Walter Clayton junior.
Speaker 2: Let's just give him the ball. And then I thought
Speaker 2: Houston would keep it close. They were five and a
Speaker 2: half point underdogs, and it looked like they were going
Speaker 2: to get blown out. And there it was just a
Speaker 2: moment like it's just one of those where you go, wait,
Speaker 2: what just happened? And part of it was in slow motion.
Speaker 2: Another part of it was so quick, it's like, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, how did they get to this point? And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden everything called in slow motion.
Speaker 2: With Duke. You're missing shots, you're not rebounding, you can't
Speaker 2: get the ball in. Cooper flag has the ball in
Speaker 2: the lane. And these are little things, but when you
Speaker 2: have a shot, you must always if you're going to
Speaker 2: take the shot. Make sure that you put a little
Speaker 2: extra on it, because if it's short, it's never going in.
Speaker 2: If it's long, at least you might get a friendly
Speaker 2: karm or somebody else gets a rebound. He kept it short,
Speaker 2: and give Houston credit. They did what they were supposed
Speaker 2: to do when they were supposed to do it. Stat
Speaker 2: of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the
Speaker 2: official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. A couple
Speaker 2: of phone calls, best and Worst of the weekend. What
Speaker 2: you saw that you liked you didn't like. Good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, that's a streaming partner, download
Speaker 2: the app if you haven't done so, and we say
Speaker 2: good morning to our radio affiliates around the country, over
Speaker 2: four hundred cities that carry the program. So tonight, Florida
Speaker 2: and Houston eight point fifty Eastern tip off, alex Ovechkin
Speaker 2: passes Gretzky and and oh, by the way, the Toronto
Speaker 2: Blue Jays gave Vlad Guerrero Junior five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: I didn't know they were going to get this deal done.
Speaker 2: I thought that maybe there's a chance that he plays elsewhere,
Speaker 2: but you lock him up for fourteen years, and that's
Speaker 2: that's the new style of contracts here. You know, you
Speaker 2: figure a player might get tired of playing in a place,
Speaker 2: or maybe a team might get tired of the player.
Speaker 2: Fourteen years a long time. I mean, that's a marriage.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what is the average length of
Speaker 2: a marriage.
Speaker 3: I want to play.
Speaker 2: I want to guess that. I have no idea the
Speaker 2: average length of a marriage in the United States. You guys,
Speaker 2: any guesses here, Marvin, how long do you think the
Speaker 2: average marriage lasts in the United States?
Speaker 5: Eleven years?
Speaker 2: Eleven? Okay, Todd six and a half, right, Seaton, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna stay closer to fifteen fifteen. I'm gonna go The
Speaker 2: average marriage last.
Speaker 6: Five years, according to a number of research sites. In
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, they did a study and the average length
Speaker 6: of a first marriage for individuals in America was twenty
Speaker 6: one years.
Speaker 3: Twenty one years.
Speaker 2: Dang, I thought the divorce rate was like under fifty
Speaker 2: percent or something like that, checking, or maybe it was
Speaker 2: over fifty percent.
Speaker 7: Yes, Mark, after a certain amount of years, you could say, fine,
Speaker 7: I'll stay.
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying? No, no, no, not me of
Speaker 2: course not, of course not the guy who had no
Speaker 2: reason why his marriage had lasted. Right when I said, oh,
Speaker 2: we're giving marriage advice and then came to you and
Speaker 2: you didn't have any.
Speaker 5: He's not a single word of advice for that, gentleman.
Speaker 2: Have a sense of humor, Have patience, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: If you have kids, you two are a team against
Speaker 5: the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah against.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you think you're making it any better than what
Speaker 2: do you say?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. You're just keeping it real, is what
Speaker 2: you're doing. Uh So, Gina Oriema is set to join
Speaker 2: us the freshly minted head coach of the national champion
Speaker 2: Yukon Huskies. Did you forget about this feeling? Did you
Speaker 2: remember what it was like to win a national title?
Speaker 3: Almost? You know, we have those moments our senior citizens.
Speaker 3: You know you ought to know so, but it didn't
Speaker 3: take long to remember. Though. Never ceases to amaze me,
Speaker 3: the the feeling that you have when when you watch
Speaker 3: those faces and it's just really really unbelievable.
Speaker 2: But take me back to pre season and you said
Speaker 2: that the girls they lost a scrimmage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did, we did.
Speaker 2: And is that where you go home and you say
Speaker 2: to your wife, oh my god, I don't know what
Speaker 2: we have here. We may not even make the tournament.
Speaker 3: Well it's that's exactly what we say. We said, I
Speaker 3: hope we make the NCAA tournament this year.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Is we didn't take it seriously, you know we we
Speaker 3: kind of everybody thought, yeah, we're gonna be good because
Speaker 3: you know, we're healthy. We got everybody back, But it
Speaker 3: was a it was a good reminder, but it was
Speaker 3: it was a struggle throughout I would say November December,
Speaker 3: trying to find some consistency. We would have it, lose it,
Speaker 3: have it, lose it. And I think it wasn't until
Speaker 3: we got back from South Carolina the first time, when
Speaker 3: we played so well that we actually understood, all right,
Speaker 3: this is what the level is, this is who we
Speaker 3: can be. And that's when it all changed.
Speaker 2: Is it a grind?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah?
Speaker 2: But is it a different kind of let's say, fifteen
Speaker 2: years ago, similar kind of grind.
Speaker 3: A little different. I think a little different it being
Speaker 3: that the players I'm coaching today are way more challenged,
Speaker 3: They're way more distracted, They've got way more voices in
Speaker 3: their head, They've got way too much information coming at
Speaker 3: them from all sources. Of people things that it's hard
Speaker 3: to make your voice really be a you know, the
Speaker 3: voice like you know when you played, like your coach said,
Speaker 3: you know, today's Wednesday. You go home and tell hey, mom,
Speaker 3: today's Wednesday. Man, No, it's not. It's Monday. Coach said,
Speaker 3: it's Wednesday today. What's your coach say today. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I wasn't listening. I mean, it's just a little bit
Speaker 3: harder right now. Man.
Speaker 2: But you're not dealing.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: We hear the men's coaches talking about transfer portal. Nil. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how prevalent is that for you on a daily, weekly,
Speaker 2: monthly basis?
Speaker 3: No, I don't deal with it on a daily, weekly,
Speaker 3: monthly basis. No, we don't have somebody on our staff
Speaker 3: that's calling AAU coaches and handlers and all that. You know,
Speaker 3: you know is you're a kid interested, Hey tell them
Speaker 3: we're interested, like a lot of schools do. No, we
Speaker 3: don't deal with that. We just coach our team. We
Speaker 3: know at the end of every year, because we get
Speaker 3: pretty good players and if they don't all play as
Speaker 3: much as they want, those days I'll wait my turn.
Speaker 3: Those are gone, you know, So we know that the
Speaker 3: end of every year, some kids already halfway out the
Speaker 3: door when they realize I'm not getting the time that
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to get, and it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, we understand we might lose a couple every year,
Speaker 3: but there's a couple of kids that want to come
Speaker 3: every year. What makes it hard is in the NBA,
Speaker 3: they have a free agency period of time. This is
Speaker 3: when you can talk to free agency is when you
Speaker 3: can sign them, blah blah blah. Our free agency is
Speaker 3: the whole year and every kid there's three hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty five Division one schools plus Division two. Every kid's
Speaker 3: a free agent every day the whole year. It's just
Speaker 3: and then the portal's open during the NCAA tournament. Can
Speaker 3: you imagine the NBA playoffs and free agency is going
Speaker 3: on during the playoff. I mean, it's insanity, so whoo,
Speaker 3: but luckily we don't have to deal with it as
Speaker 3: much as obviously it's happening on the guys. And the money.
Speaker 3: Don't even get me started on the money. Some of
Speaker 3: the money that I hear programs have to spend. And
Speaker 3: now obviously it's football and men's basketball to drive this,
Speaker 3: but it's out of hand. Man, it's out of hand.
Speaker 2: What would your pregames speech?
Speaker 3: What's my pregame speech? Probably, you know, the same as
Speaker 3: it was the previous three games, that we just want
Speaker 3: you know, we we we This was our fourth game,
Speaker 3: you know, too and too. I like to talk about
Speaker 3: how many times this one was really good. I like
Speaker 3: this one because I said, you know, this is our
Speaker 3: twenty fourth final four, and our record in the final
Speaker 3: four before last night was eleven wins twelve losses in
Speaker 3: twenty three final fours. I said, So, I'm the winningest
Speaker 3: coach in the history of college basketball, but I have
Speaker 3: a losing record in the final four. I said, But
Speaker 3: when I'm introduced at some events, you know, they go
Speaker 3: and ladies and gentlemen gino Oriama, you know, he's lost twelve,
Speaker 3: I said. They don't do that. They say, you know
Speaker 3: where emanies one eleven Nationals. So you know, nobody gives
Speaker 3: a damn about who loses. They just care about winning.
Speaker 3: So why worry about losing because nobody cares. So I
Speaker 3: think the thing that I always try to do is
Speaker 3: try to make them understand to not be afraid to lose,
Speaker 3: because that's what gets in the way of teams winning,
Speaker 3: especially at this point in time in the season, when
Speaker 3: your whole, you know, career is riding on it, the
Speaker 3: fear of losing is just so powerful, and I think
Speaker 3: it's my job to try to diffuse that as much
Speaker 3: as I can.
Speaker 2: At any point during that nine year maybe it's not
Speaker 2: fair to say drought, but for you it would be.
Speaker 2: But did you at any point doubt yourself of am
Speaker 2: I still able to motivate them? Am I losing it?
Speaker 2: Or you know, any kind of concerns about you and
Speaker 2: your coaching?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, of course, because well a couple of things.
Speaker 3: We went to fifteen straight final fours, but we didn't win.
Speaker 3: After number eleven, we didn't win the next four or
Speaker 3: five years. You know, six years out of those nine
Speaker 3: years that we didn't win, we went to the final
Speaker 3: four eight times, and we were never healthy. I shouldn't
Speaker 3: say six of those times we were never healthy. So
Speaker 3: I kept saying, you know, when we get healthy, we'll
Speaker 3: be fine. But I gotta tell you, Dan, I'm brutally honest.
Speaker 3: There was so many times when I would go home
Speaker 3: and I would say, I don't think I'm as good
Speaker 3: a coach as I used to be. I don't think
Speaker 3: as able to do what these players need in today's world.
Speaker 3: I don't know that I can do that, which is
Speaker 3: crazy because we're going to the Final four every year,
Speaker 3: But it does creep into your mind when it's you're
Speaker 3: having all these things thrown at you. This injury, that injury,
Speaker 3: this key player's out, that one's out for the season.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, it really really really made me question
Speaker 3: am I still the right person to be doing this
Speaker 3: at this time in my career at a place like Yukon,
Speaker 3: where championships is the standard.
Speaker 2: And you know how this works. We get to a
Speaker 2: certain age and people go, oh, how much long are
Speaker 2: you going to do it? You know, Oh, you know,
Speaker 2: be a great time to retire, you just when you
Speaker 2: walk off Finally, I mean, so how do you deal
Speaker 2: with this? Just because I decided in three years I'm retiring.
Speaker 2: I just said I have to mark this is when
Speaker 2: I'm going to retire, or I don't think I would retire.
Speaker 3: Is that five years ago? You made that commitment.
Speaker 2: A year and a half ago, I said I would retire,
Speaker 2: and I gave the date I was going to retire.
Speaker 2: Good for you, okay, but I needed to do it
Speaker 2: because there's other things I needed to do and to
Speaker 2: be fair with my family and my wife. Have you
Speaker 2: had those discussions of And I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: anything else that you want to do, because maybe you're
Speaker 2: like you know, coaches coach till they die. It's like,
Speaker 2: this is what I want to do. This is all
Speaker 2: I know. I don't know if I'm wired that way. No, no,
Speaker 2: I no, I don't know why I still do it.
Speaker 3: Be honest with you, Most people my age have enough
Speaker 3: sense not to do it. And I think one thing
Speaker 3: that helps me dan like when I get back to
Speaker 3: school and whatever recruiting has to be done or whatever
Speaker 3: I would say, by the time May comes around, I
Speaker 3: don't give basketball a thought until next September. I get it.
Speaker 3: I just walk away. I'm done, And luckily I have
Speaker 3: a staff and I got a program that can do that.
Speaker 3: But I don't live at twenty four to seven. I
Speaker 3: don't take it home with me like the way you
Speaker 3: know a lot of these guys do. That just wears
Speaker 3: on them day after day. Now we have the privilege
Speaker 3: of doing that because of our success. I get it.
Speaker 3: If you're grinding it out trying to make DANC Tournament
Speaker 3: every year, keep your job. But I'm not in that situation.
Speaker 3: If I was, I would have got out a long
Speaker 3: time ago. Uh So you know, I'm able to put
Speaker 3: it away, and there's so many other things that I
Speaker 3: would love to do. You know, when you retire, let
Speaker 3: me know, because I'll sit there and ask great questions
Speaker 3: like you do and make fun of people like you do.
Speaker 3: I would love to do that. However, I got it.
Speaker 3: I got an email today from a friend of mine,
Speaker 3: Tom Sherman, play for play for Penn State, and he
Speaker 3: played for Joe Paterno, and he emailed me today and
Speaker 3: he goes, hey, forty years at you kind of because
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable. He goes, you know what, Joe Paturna was
Speaker 3: at Penn State sixty four years, so you can still
Speaker 3: catch up. And I thought to myself, you've got to
Speaker 3: be kidding. Sixty four years. Yeah, so no, it'll be
Speaker 3: some time before that, trust me.
Speaker 2: And I'll leave you with this that you get your
Speaker 2: women to stay. You know, they're there for years, so
Speaker 2: you develop a friendship, a relationship. Whereas you know, men's
Speaker 2: college coaches, if you're good, you know, it's a six
Speaker 2: month you know transaction here. Yeah, but you could see
Speaker 2: that where you with Paige Becker's you're watching her be
Speaker 2: this great player to being injured to never winning a title.
Speaker 2: Now he's your chance to win a title, and just
Speaker 2: being overcome by emotion because it's real. It's like a daughter,
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean you're hugging a daughter of sorts
Speaker 2: in that moment and you're kind of at a loss
Speaker 2: for words. Correct, it was awesome though, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: It is because we do get them at a at
Speaker 3: an age where they're very impressionable, so to speak, and
Speaker 3: there's seventeen eighteen years old, and we know, if things
Speaker 3: go well, we do get them for four years. We
Speaker 3: do get to see them at the beginning, and then
Speaker 3: we get to see them at the end, and we
Speaker 3: get to see them when they're struggling, when they're It
Speaker 3: is it's like raising your kids and it's like, all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you send them off after a period
Speaker 3: of time. Yeah. If if this was like men's basketball,
Speaker 3: there's no way I would even have close to twelve
Speaker 3: national championships. Diana would have been one and done, Stewie
Speaker 3: would have been one and done. Mayan War would have
Speaker 3: been one and done. I can go on and on
Speaker 3: Paige Becker's would have been one and done all these guys.
Speaker 3: So the fact that I think we can it goes
Speaker 3: back to the old days. It's like the way it
Speaker 3: used to be. You know, we get them young and
Speaker 3: then we you know, work with them, and then does
Speaker 3: create a bond that I think is missing in men's
Speaker 3: college basketball and balls a little bit better because those
Speaker 3: guys have to stay, you know, for about three years.
Speaker 3: But now the portals become, yeah, look, I'm here as
Speaker 3: long as I can get what I want. Otherwise I'm out.
Speaker 3: And so the coaches feel like, Okay, well if this
Speaker 3: guy's going to walk out on me any day now,
Speaker 3: how why should I invest all of myself and in
Speaker 3: or her. I'm just going to coach you get what
Speaker 3: I need to get out of you, and if you leave,
Speaker 3: you leave. If you stay, you stay, that's fine. So
Speaker 3: it's really kind of created like a professional environment where
Speaker 3: we're just doing this. You're and this nonsense about well
Speaker 3: they're not employees. Yeah, they are employees. We're paying them
Speaker 3: to play basketball for us, and when they don't like
Speaker 3: their job, they quit and go go work someplace else.
Speaker 3: So I'm lucky. I really am I've got a great situation,
Speaker 3: and I know a lot of guys on the men's
Speaker 3: side envy it, and and I feel bad for those guys.
Speaker 2: Uh, congrats, hair still looks great, and uh, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, no, I can't believe you're still
Speaker 3: doing this. And I know I tell people all the time,
Speaker 3: you're one of the few guys in America that ask
Speaker 3: questions that are way shorter than the guy's answer. And
Speaker 3: I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2: I want a shot clock, Gino. I like that brevity, brevity,
Speaker 2: get to the point. That's it. Hey, congrats, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having us.
Speaker 2: That's Gino Oriema. He uh has won twelve national titles.
Speaker 2: There brings up a great point that is you get
Speaker 2: to keep your players. And he's right with one and
Speaker 2: donners that it's hard to sustain that greatness when you
Speaker 2: don't have that greatness there for three or four years.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break back after this.

Speaker 2: Geno Arima brings up an interesting point about him winning
Speaker 2: twelve national checkschampionships. When you have that great player or
Speaker 2: great players great teams, and you know that you're going
Speaker 2: to have them the following year and then the following year,
Speaker 2: it's a great luxury to have. And he acknowledges that
Speaker 2: because if you look at some of the great team's
Speaker 2: recent memory, go back to John Wooden. John Wooden had
Speaker 2: the luxury that Gino has now, and that is his
Speaker 2: players were staying. Bill Walton was staying, Leuel Sindor was staying,
Speaker 2: Marcus Johnson was staying, Gail Goodrich was staying. That's how
Speaker 2: you win championships. That's how you defend a national championship.
Speaker 2: And Gino has been able to do this. It's still
Speaker 2: amazing though a nine year and it's a drought and
Speaker 2: Tom Brady had one of those where he didn't win
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, and as he said, you start to
Speaker 2: have doubts about this because are you getting them over
Speaker 2: the hump? Are you adding or are you subtracting? And
Speaker 2: sometimes you need to have somebody be honest with you
Speaker 2: to say, am I still connect the way I need to?
Speaker 2: Because coaches, you know your demands, it's different, you know
Speaker 2: you're not the same when you're young and aggressive. Then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like, you know, I got
Speaker 2: to separate. I got to get away from this for
Speaker 2: a little while, to come back and get reinvigorated. But
Speaker 2: still twelve national championships, greatest women's college basketball coach of
Speaker 2: all time, and he's got an unbelievable team coming back
Speaker 2: next year. That's why you come back and keep coaching.
Speaker 2: It's go Why why would I walk away from this?
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley be a men's coach? At you come, We'll
Speaker 2: join us coming up next hour. Let's go around the room.
Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend, Marvin, I'm going to
Speaker 2: start with you. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 7: All right, DP, We're going with obviously Yukon freshman Sarah
Speaker 7: Strong twenty four points, fifteen rebounds as Yukon completely killed
Speaker 7: South Carolina National Championship game. Worst of the weekend the
Speaker 7: Denver Nuggets. I saw a little bit of this game.
Speaker 7: They lost to Indiana Pacers once twenty five to one twenty.
Speaker 7: The Nuggans have lost four street games.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if Jamal Murray's going to be
Speaker 2: available for the playoffs. And I said this after they
Speaker 2: won their NBA championship. Make sure you continue to surround
Speaker 2: Joker with great players or good players, complimentary players. Their
Speaker 2: bench helped them win an NBA championship, and they didn't
Speaker 2: do that. And I don't think that they're going to
Speaker 2: win another championship with Joker, and it won't be because
Speaker 2: of him. But you know, these other teams, they're young.
Speaker 2: You know, look at what Houston did with Golden State
Speaker 2: last night. Okay, see, they're really young, and I think,
Speaker 2: you know, you start to look at some of the
Speaker 2: other and the Lakers are young aside from Lebron, the
Speaker 2: Lakers are a young team. But he does if you're
Speaker 2: going to look at the curve, he certainly ups it
Speaker 2: up there. And uh, you know, they blew out Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City last night. Like that's just one of those teasers
Speaker 2: where you go, yeah, when they do it right, they
Speaker 2: can beat anybody. It just can you be consistent to
Speaker 2: win four games out of seven games? That's always the key.
Speaker 2: Can you beat them at their place? And they roughed
Speaker 2: up Oka? See all right, Marvin? What else?
Speaker 5: I gave him my best hot worse?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: You both? Okay?
Speaker 3: My bet?
Speaker 2: Uh Todd? How about you.
Speaker 11: We alluded to it earlier. Best of the week in
Speaker 11: Florida's Walter Clayton Junior. With the Gators leading by three
Speaker 11: in just over a minute left, Clayton hit a layup
Speaker 11: while getting fouled to put them up six game high
Speaker 11: thirty four points, five of eight from behind the arc
Speaker 11: four boards to assist first player with back to back
Speaker 11: thirty point games in the Elite eight and Final four
Speaker 11: since Larry Bird back in seventy nine. Worst of the
Speaker 11: weekend and if you heard this story, golfer Ryan McCormick
Speaker 11: plays plastic tape over his mouth in an effort to
Speaker 11: shut himself up on the course during the Club Card
Speaker 11: Championship in Savannah, Georgia. Friday said he tried about everything
Speaker 11: to control his anger management while on the course, hoping
Speaker 11: the tape would help your self control the last he
Speaker 11: missed the cut tape on his mouth because he could
Speaker 11: not control himself.
Speaker 2: Seat invest and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: Alex Novechkin setting the record not just because he set
Speaker 4: the record, book because of the way that he did it.
Speaker 4: That was a hell of a goal, which I haven't
Speaker 4: watched a ton of hockey in the last I don't
Speaker 4: know his whole career, but apparently that was like very
Speaker 4: like that was that was a very Ovechkin like goal.
Speaker 2: And you know he was trying to.
Speaker 4: Get the record the night before, two nights before where
Speaker 4: he could have had a hat trick but wasn't able
Speaker 4: to put one in. But to score like that, that
Speaker 4: was a hell of a goal. My worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: Steph has three points in thirty three minutes. What the
Speaker 4: heck is that? I know, it's just like an anomaly
Speaker 4: that's worth bringing up. I think it's certainly not like
Speaker 4: an indication of the decline of his career. But three
Speaker 4: points in thirty three minutes.
Speaker 2: And you know who else scored three points last night?
Speaker 2: Brownie James h better player shif's passing? Yeah, that feels
Speaker 2: like that's a Steven A. Smith first take discussion better
Speaker 2: player right now in their careers, Brown and your Steph.
Speaker 2: I saw where Skip Bayless, desperate for attention, put out
Speaker 2: there that Cooper Flag may lack the clutch gen. The
Speaker 2: kid is eighteen years of age. Oh yeah, he may
Speaker 2: not have the clutch gen. How big is the sample size?
Speaker 2: You're gonna work on that that he may not have
Speaker 2: the clutch gen one shot. Yeah, he may not have it. Well,
Speaker 2: there's a I had to laugh because skip he does
Speaker 2: his best is still try to stay in mainstream. He
Speaker 2: tries really hard, all right, Paulie. Best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 6: Best Houston Cougar's Ford, Joseph Tugler, Oh the Tugler. Yeah,
Speaker 6: Fritzy's old nickname. So he had the tip dunk with
Speaker 6: thirty seconds left. He had a really good game, helped
Speaker 6: that steal late. Only four points, but that's one of
Speaker 6: those that does show up in a stat book. Worst
Speaker 6: of the weekend. Good for Vlad Guerrero Junior to get
Speaker 6: four hundred, five hundred million dollars, But it's weird to
Speaker 6: announce it when after ten games you're hitting two fifty
Speaker 6: six with no home runs. You can't you wait till
Speaker 6: you like parks a few.
Speaker 3: And then announce it the next day. No offense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell, good luck with that. Yeah, I won't be
Speaker 2: covering a majority of his career. I get three more
Speaker 2: years of Vlad Guerrero Junior the third then that's it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: see three years from now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think the biggest contract in sports
Speaker 4: will be?
Speaker 2: We're talking about all sports. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you
Speaker 2: have both Kani, we're just so easily like casting aside,
Speaker 2: like five hundred mili. Oh, good for him, that's cute.
Speaker 2: That's five hundred million dollars. It's an insane amount of money.
Speaker 2: What do you think in three years this will keep? Well,
Speaker 2: what's Otani's seven hundred million and that I don't even remember. Yeah,
Speaker 2: six hundred million.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul Victor Webbanyama will be up for a super
Speaker 6: Max in three years twenty twenty eight. So if you
Speaker 6: look at him and what a sure thing he is
Speaker 6: as a Supermax, his potential average per year contract would
Speaker 6: be around ninety million based off the progression of super
Speaker 6: max contracts in the NBA.
Speaker 2: You know, but he's not going to be making seven
Speaker 2: hundred million. He might make four hundred million.
Speaker 6: Yeah, four fifty, but the per year average.
Speaker 3: Could be the highest in sports.
Speaker 2: But yeah, total no, Oh, well, the NBA players, you know,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have somebody making close to one hundred million
Speaker 2: here in the next couple of years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good one too, Wembanyama, He's certainly be
Speaker 4: right at the top of that list.
Speaker 2: Well, Shay Gilgis, Alexander is going to be probably the
Speaker 2: first guy to get up to eighty million. I'm thinking, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is why Cooper flag. If Cooper Flag is Cooper Flag.
Speaker 2: If he's going to be legit, you know, great player,
Speaker 2: he's going to make a billion dollars. He'll have his
Speaker 2: rookie deal, then he'll do a Supermax, and then he'll
Speaker 2: do a Supermax after them. So let's do the math
Speaker 2: eighteen twenty two, twenty seven, twenty eight, thirty three, thirty four.
Speaker 2: So he might he might get rookie deal, Supermax, Supermax,
Speaker 2: and then maybe on the back end of that a
Speaker 2: decent deal as well. You're going to make a billion dollars.
Speaker 2: But I wonder how crowds react when somebody is going
Speaker 2: to make that kind of money. Let's say you make
Speaker 2: more than a million dollars every game, and you're going
Speaker 2: to go out and see that player who's going to
Speaker 2: make a million dollars, but then he doesn't play. You know,
Speaker 2: I wonder when the crowd starts to go, you know,
Speaker 2: that's embarrassing a million, you're making ninety million, you'll make
Speaker 2: more than a million dollars per game, and how you
Speaker 2: know crowds react to that when you don't play. I
Speaker 2: mean they already react to that. Yes, Martin, he.
Speaker 5: Said the words out of my mouth. They're already there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Let me see Mike in New York. Hi, Mike,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Hey, thanks for taking my call, first time, long time
Speaker 8: grandpa Bob five six one sixty five. And what I
Speaker 8: wanted to comment on the timing was perfect when you
Speaker 8: just brought up Cooper flag and whether he has the
Speaker 8: clutch gene or not is uh. You know, that could
Speaker 8: have been maybe close to being the best shot in
Speaker 8: Duke history, but he didn't make it. He's barely eighteen
Speaker 8: years old and arguably the greatest shot in Duke's history
Speaker 8: with the Latner shot over Kentucky. He is almost twenty three.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 8: It's the way of our world in college sports these days.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why I brought up Cooper flag in
Speaker 2: the expectation level, and it was misconstrued. Maybe the message
Speaker 2: wasn't said appropriately that if he accomplishes what Kevin Love accomplishes,
Speaker 2: which is borderline Hall of fame worthy, I think people
Speaker 2: will be disappointed because he didn't live.
Speaker 5: Up to the hype.
Speaker 2: Now, Kevin Love was a I think he was a
Speaker 2: surprise to a lot of people. Good player turned out
Speaker 2: to be a great player and is a borderline Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer, I would think, And that's where people thought
Speaker 2: I was saying that Kevin Love has been a disappointment.
Speaker 2: Kevin Love overachieved. Nobody can say he didn't have a
Speaker 2: good career. But I'm talking about the expectation level on
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag. I mean you already have Oh, does he
Speaker 2: have the clutch gene? Now, granted it skips saying this,
Speaker 2: and you know, I don't think he truly believes that.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of embarrassing to say that about an
Speaker 2: eighteen year old that he may lack the clutch gene
Speaker 2: based off one shot, because give me the other instances
Speaker 2: where he may not have the clay. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: not Lebron where there are times when he didn't take
Speaker 2: a shot or didn't make the shot. I mean there
Speaker 2: were times when Michael Jordan said to John Paxson, you
Speaker 2: take the shot, or to Steve Kerr, you take the shot.
Speaker 2: Maybele don't bring that up. Mike didn't take the biggest
Speaker 2: shot all the time, he deferred, which is being a
Speaker 2: smart player. An open shot for John Paxon or Steve Kerr.
Speaker 2: It worked, but the clutch gene at eighteen it did
Speaker 2: make me laugh because I thought, oh my god, we
Speaker 2: can't go through another generational player where we're going to
Speaker 2: be questioning the clutch gene.
Speaker 5: That's what you think.
Speaker 2: All right, you're right, I'm not going to go through it.
Speaker 2: You know, Skip may outlive me. But I got three
Speaker 2: more years where I don't. No, he's always working out,
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's always you know, he doesn't drink,
Speaker 2: doesn't do anything. You know, he's gonna outlive me. I'm
Speaker 2: going to take a break here. I'm going to take
Speaker 2: a break. We'll get some more phone calls coming up,
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley, Well join us, coming up, Dan Hurley. Fritzie
Speaker 2: keeps saying, I think it's Dan Hurley. I said, well,
Speaker 2: I've known him as Danny Hurley his entire life. But
Speaker 2: maybe I'll just say, coach Hurley.
Speaker 3: How's that?
Speaker 2: Yes, Tod, I would say.
Speaker 11: He should go with Dan, because if you're so concerned
Speaker 11: with being a little crazy, the knoxious and immature whatever
Speaker 11: people are calling him when he has one of his outbursts,
Speaker 11: maybe you go with Dan instead of Danny.
Speaker 9: Less little boy kind of sunning.
Speaker 6: Yes, well, yeah, that'll make us all forget it. It's
Speaker 6: Dan moving on take a break back after.
Speaker 1: This, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2: What do you think Ovechkin's jersey would be worth the
Speaker 2: one that he broke the record million dollars? I'm not
Speaker 2: up on memorabilia. I mean, I have collected an awful
Speaker 2: lot in here, but I never collected to sell because
Speaker 2: there's certain ones like I have an autograph of Tiger
Speaker 2: Woods after he won the Masters one year, you know.
Speaker 2: But you know Kobe's jersey, All Star jersey, that's that's
Speaker 2: autograph to me. Lebron's that's just an autograph. Tom Brady
Speaker 2: is an autograph to me, Marino autograph, Farv, Barry Sanders,
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller. I imagine Ovechkin that'd be a million dollars. Yeah, Pauline,
Speaker 2: this might be.
Speaker 6: A dumb question, but is it Ovechkins to sell? Does
Speaker 6: he himself keep it?
Speaker 3: And then?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I'm sure if the team had rights to it,
Speaker 6: the league had rights to it.
Speaker 3: I don't know I would assume it's is.
Speaker 2: I think that would be kind of in poor taste. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if they said, hey, congrats, give me your jersey, yes, Todd.
Speaker 9: Can he donate it that to the Hockey Hall of Fame?
Speaker 9: He's got making a lot of money.
Speaker 11: I know everyone would like an extra million, But is
Speaker 11: it better to put forever or if anyone.
Speaker 9: Ever breaks in the Hockey Hall of Fame, or keep
Speaker 9: it yourself?
Speaker 2: I would keep that one you can give them. I mean, okay,
Speaker 2: that's not the jersey you scored the game winner or
Speaker 2: the all time record, but here's one that was before it,
Speaker 2: or maybe the final goal of his career. Then you
Speaker 2: could put that in the Hockey Hall of Fame. This
Speaker 2: one that's yours. Yeah, Seaton, I'm seeing that. The estimate
Speaker 2: right now on the puck eight ninety five, Yeah, to
Speaker 2: be worth somewhere between one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars. Okay,
Speaker 2: So if I said you could have the puck or
Speaker 2: the stick, you can't have the jersey, puck or stick, Todd,
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go stick.
Speaker 6: Okayy Seaton, I'm not call it the puck. Marvin stick
Speaker 6: Paul loved that we're playing pucker stick. I think stick
Speaker 6: bigger stage in your home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think a punk I have a better
Speaker 2: chance to display that if I bring in a hockey
Speaker 2: stick and my wife goes, what are you doing?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I figured I'd like to put this on a wall. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 2: is it fine?
Speaker 9: As keepers to rocking? Let the goal go for the Islanders?
Speaker 11: Can you turn around to pick that puck up and
Speaker 11: pop that thing in his pocket? And it's his pocket,
Speaker 11: who's it belonged to exactly? First one to grab it.
Speaker 11: I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2: I would think that he would be respectful. I think
Speaker 2: that's the first goal that Ovechkin has gotten against that goaltender.
Speaker 2: I think so, But I'm guessing. I'm guessing that they
Speaker 2: would just be respectful to Ovechkin and say this is yours.
Speaker 9: Or he could say you keep the stick in the jersey.
Speaker 3: I'm keeping his puck.
Speaker 6: For the right price, you can have it back, yes,
Speaker 6: Paul So Dylan, the graphics guy just sent us an
Speaker 6: article in the New York Times, and Ovechkin was changing
Speaker 6: jerseys a couple times a game the past week or
Speaker 6: so to put those on the market for the chase,
Speaker 6: so it could be goal number this, goal number that,
Speaker 6: and the early estimates on the jersey from yesterday, the
Speaker 6: goal jersey is a million plus.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, thanks sah rich In Athens hi Rich, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 12: A little bit of a left turn here, but it's
Speaker 12: time to play everyone's favorite game? Would you rather the
Speaker 12: Sports and Food edition? I'm going to present too sports
Speaker 12: and food related scenarios and you guys can can shoot

Speaker 2: a Kansas City Chiefs game with Taylor Swift?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, because you're not a golfer, what about you? Seaton?
Speaker 6: Probably rather be walking the course, Marvin Augusta. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 6: I stink at golf. It'd be disrespectful to play Augusta
Speaker 6: with you. You can walk, that's I would like to drive
Speaker 6: the cart for those gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Okay, they you could drive, and then you could say
Speaker 2: when you get to the green that you were gonna putt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that'd be fun. Yeah you could do that. Uh, definitely, Augusta.
Speaker 2: I mean I once you're in the booth the suite
Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift, like what happens? Like, Hi, Hi, really
Speaker 2: like your music? Okay, then that's it. I get. I
Speaker 2: get five hours with Jack Nicholas. You know, I'm the course.
Speaker 2: Then you get to go in the grill room. I
Speaker 2: ain't come on. That'd be great. I remember we were
Speaker 2: in Portland and it was the Fred Meyer Challenge. It
Speaker 2: was Pete Jacob Peter Jacobson's charity tournament, and I remember
Speaker 2: we did the show out there and I was talking
Speaker 2: to him. He was playing his round of golf and
Speaker 2: he waves to me. So I'm doing my radio show.
Speaker 2: He waves to me to come out. We're on the
Speaker 2: golf course. Eighteenth hole. He waves to me to come
Speaker 2: out and walk the final hole with Jack Nicholas. And
