Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Coops off, this is that Dan Patrick's show.
Speaker 1: It's Tony Bisselli. Former Jags offensive blindman Tony Boselli was
Speaker 1: diagnosed with the coronavirlets. You we're going to do a PSA.
Speaker 1: What would you say? Yeah, I'd say this, it's real.
Speaker 1: The odds are that if you're my age or younger
Speaker 1: or even a little bit older and you're healthy, that yeah,
Speaker 1: the odds are gonna be Okay, you know, we have
Speaker 1: minor cold or flu and you'll never even go to
Speaker 1: the hospital. But there's a chance you're gonna like me,
Speaker 1: and the chance even you're gonna have worse than me.
Speaker 1: If you want to roll those world the dice on
Speaker 1: your own life, that's your business. But now are they're
Speaker 1: trying to think about other people bringing you the biggest
Speaker 1: guests and best interviews? Albert Breer Patriots cutting Cody Kessler
Speaker 1: means what I think it means. They probably draft on.
Speaker 1: They like Stam, they give him a shot, but they
Speaker 1: didn't kind of keep throwing Dart to the dark Boy.
Speaker 1: Broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cave is Dan Patrick, Our two,
Speaker 1: Dan and the Dennis dan Patrick Show on this Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Glad to have you on board, no matter how you're
Speaker 1: consuming this program. You're watching, you're listening, you're tweeting, you're emailing,
Speaker 1: all the above, Got to have you on board. Spend
Speaker 1: some time with Peter King NBC Sports Last Hour. Had
Speaker 1: some interesting thoughts on the virtual draft coming up. Thinks
Speaker 1: the commissioner will be at home. There will be some challenges,
Speaker 1: some hurdles for these teams because of modern technology that
Speaker 1: may not be so modern for some of these front
Speaker 1: office people. But we will have a virtual draft, and
Speaker 1: it looks like you'll have a combination of ESPN and
Speaker 1: the NFL network with their talent collectively handling Biff Ear's draft.
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard of the Blazers will join us coming up
Speaker 1: next hour. We'll talk to him about virtual horse. Is
Speaker 1: he going to take part in that. The NFL confirms
Speaker 1: the virtual draft, NBA considering rapid testing process. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. The commissioner will hear from Adam Silver a
Speaker 1: little bit later on, and baseball's looking at an Arizona return.
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale, who's been covering the sport for forty years,
Speaker 1: he'll join us on what are the particulars here the
Speaker 1: logistics of having everyone play in Arizona. It seems like
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible. And also one thing that nobody's thinking about,
Speaker 1: or maybe they are but not talking about yet, and
Speaker 1: that is you're going to ask these players to basically
Speaker 1: have isolation from their families for a couple of months
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I don't know if you can bring the families.
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, the reason why they're looking
Speaker 1: at Arizona. Arizona's advantages ten spring training ballparks and then
Speaker 1: you have the Diamondbacks. That's all within a fifty mile
Speaker 1: radius Florida's spring training. Those ballparks are spread out by
Speaker 1: as much as two hundred and twenty miles. And if
Speaker 1: you're going to spring training, you just set up shop
Speaker 1: in Scottsdale. You can see as many games as you want,
Speaker 1: and in less than an hour you can get to
Speaker 1: those ballparks. But we'll talk to Bob Nightingale about that possibility.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three DP Show email address DP at
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com. You can watch on YouTube dot
Speaker 1: com slash with the Dan Patrick Show and listen on
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty two Radio affiliates around the country
Speaker 1: and the Fox Sports Radio lineup poll question mclovin, what
Speaker 1: did we go with today? The first hour, it was
Speaker 1: do you think the NFL will have cybersecurity issues? Fifty
Speaker 1: nine percent said yes, yeah, if you want to change
Speaker 1: it up. By the way, at the end of the
Speaker 1: last hour, we got really hit hard on Twitter about
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown topic. Is he a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 1: I just pulled up the number. He's thirty fifth all
Speaker 1: time in career yards, but he's if he played two
Speaker 1: more seasons, he'd be top ten. So people are saying, no,
Speaker 1: he's not, but he seemed really close. Yeah. Once again,
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to factor in off the field. The NFL,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame is not supposed to eat even
Speaker 1: though they did I think with Tarall Owens, and they
Speaker 1: did that with Michael Irvin. They didn't do that with
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor. I think that they would probably do that
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, whether it's consciously or subconsciously. He was great,
Speaker 1: but I think he's borderline. I think at best he's borderline. Yeah, McClellan.
Speaker 1: The other one was Drew Brees. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are mad about Drew Brees that you mentioned. Okay, but
Speaker 1: if you have Brady and Aaron Rodgers, some you're not
Speaker 1: taking out Brady, so that means you're putting in Drew
Speaker 1: Brees instead of Aaron Rodgers. That's the argument. Some people
Speaker 1: are saying Breeze actually had a better decade. I don't know,
Speaker 1: did he. They're very close and numerically very very close.
Speaker 1: But I think Breese one in ten and Rogers won
Speaker 1: in nine, and I don't think Rodgers is one, Sin
Speaker 1: says he. I'll double check that. Sorry, I might have
Speaker 1: the years wrong. Now, I thought Rodgers had won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl later? Right? They right? What they shorted back
Speaker 1: to back or right around the same time. Sorry, they
Speaker 1: both won early, but they never really want to get Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Aaron Rodgers is widely considered the most talented player
Speaker 1: to ever play the position. Right, That's why we keep hearing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's not the greatest quarterback, but
Speaker 1: he's the most talented to ever play the position. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm okay if Drew Brees is not in there, I'm
Speaker 1: okay if Drew Brees is in there. Yes, McClellan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. It's twenty eleven. Aaron Rodgers. Okay, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a tough one to take off. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: went to seven Pro Bowls in the past ten years.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees went to nine. That said, Aaron Rodgers made
Speaker 1: two First Team All pros, Drew Brees had in zero.
Speaker 1: It's close. It's a toss up between those two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: McClelland I can feel your hatred for lists. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: we're off the shock of, you know, the best college
Speaker 1: basketball player of all time, So I need a little
Speaker 1: bit of space for my next list or you know,
Speaker 1: declaration of best players for a decade, like a little
Speaker 1: separation there, because I'm a little sensitive. Still. It hurts,
Speaker 1: it does. It hurts still a little bit where people.
Speaker 1: But I had a friend who goes, hey, Jordan, best
Speaker 1: college player of all time, right, And I go, no, no,
Speaker 1: not no, Well who was better? And I go, how
Speaker 1: much time do you got it? At times he wasn't
Speaker 1: even the best North Carolina player. I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: go back to this. Don't don't trick me, mclovin, don't
Speaker 1: you get me to I was doing okay here by
Speaker 1: the way, Fritzie's at home, the Cleven's at home. Seaton's
Speaker 1: at home, Polly right in front of me. Yes, Polly.
Speaker 1: Going back to um Antonio Brown, You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: factor in off the field, but if your off field
Speaker 1: activities remove you from the field, then it's fair. Like
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin had off field issues, but he always stayed
Speaker 1: on the field. He was employed by the Cowboys, his
Speaker 1: career stayed fine. Antonio Brown's off field behavior took him
Speaker 1: off the field and removed him from the NFL. And
Speaker 1: you know, so you can make Taryll Owens. He was
Speaker 1: always showed up. You know, he was difficult, he had
Speaker 1: problems with teammates, but he was always on the field. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how these voters separate that with Was
Speaker 1: Tarrell Owens a positive for he was? He was both
Speaker 1: at times positive and negative, but far more positive than negative.
Speaker 1: He was. He was an unbelievable player, he really was.
Speaker 1: I know that we sort of hold a grudge against
Speaker 1: him because of the way he acted or what he
Speaker 1: said about Donovan McNabb. And you know, was he a
Speaker 1: great teammate, But man did he produced? And they're all
Speaker 1: all these wide receivers are selfish, so he can't say, well,
Speaker 1: he's not a great team player. I mean, Jerry Rice
Speaker 1: was selfish. Jerry Rice wanted his touches like anybody else.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just Antonio Brown had it all gone.
Speaker 1: And I still go back to that hit by Vontes Burfitt,
Speaker 1: and I still believe. And I have somebody who's with
Speaker 1: the Players Association who said they have reached out to
Speaker 1: try to help him, because I said, there's something else
Speaker 1: going on there. You know, you get full of yourself,
Speaker 1: you think you're bigger than the sport, and then you
Speaker 1: realize the sport is moving on without you, Like the
Speaker 1: NFL is so big and powerful, and there's so many
Speaker 1: new players, Like you've got three wide receivers going in
Speaker 1: the first round, maybe four, maybe five going in the
Speaker 1: first round. You know, out with the old end with
Speaker 1: a new CD Lamb, you're gonna go, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs, you're gonna go, oh my god. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what happens. And Antonio Brown probably got caught up
Speaker 1: in I'm Antonio Brown. And then you realize nobody cares
Speaker 1: you're Antonio Brown, certainly with the way you're acting what
Speaker 1: you're saying, and nobody wants to take it. He just
Speaker 1: hired a new agent, so you got rid of Drew Rosenhouse,
Speaker 1: you know, mad that agent coming in trying to get
Speaker 1: meetings with teams and you can't get in front of teams.
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets a chance, but I think the bigger
Speaker 1: issue is mentally, where is Antonio Brown. That's the big
Speaker 1: concern I have. But if you want to put him
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, great, I'm waiting for the
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown Julian Edelman conversation to come. Edelman more of
Speaker 1: a team player about a guy who's going to disappear
Speaker 1: this year, though yes he Do you hear Julian Edelman's
Speaker 1: name called once this year? Probably not well, only when
Speaker 1: there was the April Fool's Day joke that he was
Speaker 1: going to Detroit and some hosts bought into that, like, hey,
Speaker 1: Edelman going to the Lions. No, they need all the
Speaker 1: weapons they can keep there for Jared's Stidham All right,
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three DP show gotta are you gonna
Speaker 1: stay with that pole question? Mcleven, You're gonna go with
Speaker 1: something else? When do you want to throw up the
Speaker 1: baseball pole? U seat mentioned the rule change is pretty showed.
Speaker 1: I'm dying to get into these. I can wait, but
Speaker 1: I'm very interested when we get to do a poll
Speaker 1: on that on which rule changes you want. Okay, basically, well,
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale is going to join us, but if you
Speaker 1: want to go there's some of these things that I
Speaker 1: would if I'm baseball, I would adopt these. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: use them. You know in this situation where you go,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a one hundred games schedule or season,
Speaker 1: and you know they're talking about electronic strike zone to
Speaker 1: allow the plate umpire to maintain sufficient distance between the
Speaker 1: catcher and the batter, no mound visits from the catcher
Speaker 1: or the pitching coach. I signed me up. Seven inning doubleheaders,
Speaker 1: Sign me up. I'm good with all of this, regular
Speaker 1: use of on field microphones by players as an added
Speaker 1: bonus for TV viewers. Sign me up. Great, let's do it.
Speaker 1: I'm doing like all of these are great. I don't
Speaker 1: need to have a pandemic to use these and continue
Speaker 1: to use these. These are all great. If you want
Speaker 1: to how about a one hundred games season permanently you
Speaker 1: have doubleheaders where you actually get to stay for both games.
Speaker 1: They don't have a game, and then they make you
Speaker 1: leave and then they bring in a new crowd. I
Speaker 1: think we're onto something here. Sixty game NBA season less
Speaker 1: is more more exciting here, No mound visits from the catcher,
Speaker 1: pitching code. Yes, this is awesome. Yes time. What do
Speaker 1: you think of Justin Turner's recent idea, after one extra inning,
Speaker 1: if it's still tied, go to a home run derby
Speaker 1: instead of an eleven No, that's not good. It's not
Speaker 1: that's not good. It's not good. I don't need to
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, that's gimmicky. If you want to
Speaker 1: have one hundred games, if you want to have seven
Speaker 1: inning a double headers, no mound visage, extra microphones, you're
Speaker 1: able to have a strike. Okay, people are gonna go
Speaker 1: the electronic strikes. I'm all for the electronic strike zone.
Speaker 1: You have the umpire who's still there, got a call
Speaker 1: fair and foul, and you know, if there's a play
Speaker 1: at the plate, electronic strike zone, that's great. If you
Speaker 1: have the technology and you can do it the way
Speaker 1: Tennis does it. Okay, you adjust to the batter, Okay,
Speaker 1: But if you want to get these calls right, if
Speaker 1: I want to remove the privileged attitude of umpires, in
Speaker 1: particular home plate umpires. It's a good way to do
Speaker 1: it because their personality is involved in there. They have
Speaker 1: their own strikes like I have my own strikes zone.
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yes? Who has a league where you go?
Speaker 1: Oh you have your own strike zone? Hey, I brought
Speaker 1: my own rules here. Oh okay, yes? Would that extra
Speaker 1: any idea be similar to penalty kicks in soccer, which,
Speaker 1: when you think about the bit gimmicky, you could do
Speaker 1: the same thing at three point shooting contest in the
Speaker 1: NBA if you get to let's say, if you're doing it.
Speaker 1: Soccer has their extra time and then they do pe ks.
Speaker 1: So I'm okay, look at me, little pek, little peek. Well,
Speaker 1: I watched the Bundesliga a couple of weeks ago, so
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much well, I just like saying, but Grassius.
Speaker 1: All right, so we got our poll question. I. You know,
Speaker 1: last I've been watching so much TV. I forgot what
Speaker 1: I was watching last night. I don't know what I
Speaker 1: watched last night, and it took me two hours this
Speaker 1: morning to remember what I watched last night because I'm
Speaker 1: watching so much Netflix and Amazon Hulu, and I finally
Speaker 1: figured out what I watched last night. You're right, Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle being honored with the Mark Tween Award. It's good, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It's good. It's good. And to have all
Speaker 1: of those comedians get up and talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: his impact, the fact that Eddie Murphy said, hey, this
Speaker 1: is he's the goat. That Dave Chappelle is the goat
Speaker 1: when it comes. He's such a great like George Carlin,
Speaker 1: to me was the best deep thinker comedian that I
Speaker 1: ever heard. Pryor was probably the best. I thought Chris
Speaker 1: Rock when he in his when he started out and
Speaker 1: he would just he would be prowling the stage like
Speaker 1: he was a lion, and I thought that he was
Speaker 1: brilliant too. But what Chappelle does is he has this
Speaker 1: brilliance of giving you a message, delivering a message, not
Speaker 1: afraid to give a message, but also he can give
Speaker 1: you you know, these iconic moments on Chappelle when he
Speaker 1: did the KKK, when he when he's he's there in
Speaker 1: front of a KKK rally, and the racial drafts, I mean,
Speaker 1: just their brilliant stuff. When he did the Rick James,
Speaker 1: the Prince stuff, I mean just those things alone are
Speaker 1: just brilliant, absolutely brilliant. But he is such a thought
Speaker 1: provoking comedian and watching that last night, it just reminded
Speaker 1: you that how brilliant he is. Yes By Eddie Murphy's
Speaker 1: career always reminds me of like Ken Griffey Jr. The
Speaker 1: first half of it was first ballot Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: no doubt as entertaining just took over at a young
Speaker 1: age and they were both nineteen when they started. And
Speaker 1: then their second half was good, It just doesn't match
Speaker 1: the first half. I always wonder about that when it
Speaker 1: comes to bands, because you have somebody who gives you
Speaker 1: brilliance and then and then they stop, Like what happens
Speaker 1: when you go you can't write another hit, But you
Speaker 1: did have a window of five to seven years where
Speaker 1: you're killing it. You know, comedians, you have this window
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, like Eddie Murphy. It's
Speaker 1: not that he stopped being funny, but he stopped being
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. If that makes sense. Yeah, seton. Well. I
Speaker 1: think that there's a certain expectation of greatness, like when
Speaker 1: you release that first album and it's great, or you
Speaker 1: do your first stand up special and it's great, and
Speaker 1: the pressure to keep the bar that high must be
Speaker 1: really difficult, especially you know, in those creative mediums. But
Speaker 1: I know that, sir, like with bands, say they'll spend
Speaker 1: five years writing that first album in theory and it'll
Speaker 1: hit and then you have nine months to make the
Speaker 1: second one, you know, and so you're not really given
Speaker 1: that same window. Yeah, you do get a lifetime to
Speaker 1: create your debut album. Yeah. And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it happened with hooting the Blowfish and their philosophy.
Speaker 1: Their logic was they put out this album that sold
Speaker 1: seventeen million, and they said, let's get our second one
Speaker 1: out quickly. So you get the second one out and
Speaker 1: get it out of the way. And I went, what
Speaker 1: kind of logic is that? But they put that second
Speaker 1: album out and now it did pretty well. If that
Speaker 1: was their debut album, that probably sold I don't know,
Speaker 1: five to seven million, maybe something crazy like that. But
Speaker 1: it was considered a disappointment because the first album, yeah seed.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting about the Chappelle thing too,
Speaker 1: is that they bring out one of the speakers is
Speaker 1: the co creator of that guy. He was the funniest
Speaker 1: guy of the night. Yeah, really had such a unique
Speaker 1: perspective on everything that's happened there. I thought he was
Speaker 1: the funniest guy on stage because he had the insight
Speaker 1: of creating Chappelle with Dave and just how crazy it
Speaker 1: is to work with Dave. And he's so random. He
Speaker 1: calls you up and what he's going to say to
Speaker 1: you on a Tuesday afternoon and they'll walk away from
Speaker 1: it all right, as it was really hitting its height.
Speaker 1: He walked away for twelve years, just up and went
Speaker 1: to Africa and then came back. Interesting, cat Man, really interesting.
Speaker 1: I just got this stat here. Oh you know, I'll
Speaker 1: take a break. This has to do with Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: NFL wide receivers with at least fifty nine touchdowns in
Speaker 1: a five season span. Will run down that list for you.
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale, longtime baseball columnists for USA Today, what's he
Speaker 1: think of baseball trying to come back in May and
Speaker 1: have everybody stay in Arizona. We'll talk to him about
Speaker 1: the good and the bad and maybe the ugly of
Speaker 1: that possibility. It's nineteen after the hour. This is the

Speaker 1: Go to Rock Auto dot com all departs your car
Speaker 1: or truck will ever need. Rock Auto dot Com, a
Speaker 1: family business founded by automotive engineers in nineteen nine two
Speaker 1: goals in mind first to give you direct access to
Speaker 1: all the parts information hidden in the computers and catalogs
Speaker 1: behind the part store counter. I am helping. Actually, I'm
Speaker 1: watching somebody rebuild in nineteen seventy three rs Porsche nine
Speaker 1: to eleven, and it's fascinating. You know, he orders these
Speaker 1: parts and I you know, I told him about Rock
Speaker 1: Auto dot Com, which he was well aware of. But
Speaker 1: I'm watching him rebuild an engine. And then I picked
Speaker 1: stone gray as the color for my Porsche, kind of
Speaker 1: a muted gray color like it's it's an it's a
Speaker 1: strange color, but it is gorgeous looking. So it's stone
Speaker 1: gray for this nine to eleven rs. And thanks to
Speaker 1: rock auto dot Com, they helped me with the nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty three five windows Chevy pickup truck. I was looking
Speaker 1: for parts, couldn't find him. Went to rock auto dot com.
Speaker 1: And you don't waste time and money hunting for parts, phoning, driving,
Speaker 1: waiting in lines. Go to rock auto dot com. Make
Speaker 1: sure you tell him that we sent you all the
Speaker 1: parts your car, truck, whatever need Rock Auto dot Com. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: I've got a ninety one land Cruiser and there's a
Speaker 1: front metal like a front chrome piece on the bumper
Speaker 1: that was just munchee and needed to come off. And
Speaker 1: I found it on there in two seconds and it
Speaker 1: was like a small piece munche like. It was disgusting
Speaker 1: looking munchie. Yeah, all checked up. By the way, the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers will reveal their new uniforms. I think
Speaker 1: they're just going to clean up their old uniforms with
Speaker 1: the numbers, and they're not going creamsickle yet, but I
Speaker 1: think eventually they will. Maybe that's in Brady's contract. Maybe
Speaker 1: we're wrong there, but if they go creamsickle, they're winning
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. NFL wide receivers, you guys can come
Speaker 1: on board here. Jump on board. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaker 1: NFL wide receivers with at least fifty nine touchdowns over
Speaker 1: a five season span, Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Terall Owens,
Speaker 1: Chris Carter, Randy Mons, Lance Alworth, and Antonio Brown. You're
Speaker 1: looking at all Hall of famers now. I know that
Speaker 1: the passing and receiving numbers are skewed a bit there.
Speaker 1: Maybe I think Antonio Brown is border borderline, but I
Speaker 1: do think his personality will hurt him in this process.
Speaker 1: Not supposed to, at least according to the guidelines in
Speaker 1: which they vote, but I think it'll hurt him in
Speaker 1: the process. There. We'll talk to Bob Nightingale, USA Today
Speaker 1: Baseball columnists and some of the proposed rule changes here
Speaker 1: if they decide to do this season coming up. I
Speaker 1: love all the things that they're thinking of doing. The
Speaker 1: proposed baseball changes for Arizona if they have this season
Speaker 1: coming up, electronic strike zone, I'm okay with that, no
Speaker 1: mound visits from the catcher, pitching coach. I'm all in favor,
Speaker 1: seven inning double headers. I'm all in favor regular use
Speaker 1: of on field microphones by players as an added bonus
Speaker 1: for TV viewers. I'm all in favor of. Then it's
Speaker 1: bringing Bob Nightingale covers the sport. What do you think
Speaker 1: of these proposals? Well, I just don't see it happening. Dan.
Speaker 1: First of all, there's no way they're going to play
Speaker 1: in a plastia bubble on Arizona. Just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: You can't protect the safety of all the players under
Speaker 1: one roof and everything else staying in hotels. You know,
Speaker 1: some of those le changes have been discussed, but I
Speaker 1: think they can happen anytime. I think even if we
Speaker 1: have a season with fans, you know, later in the summer,
Speaker 1: I could see something that taken effect. But why are
Speaker 1: they putting this out here? Bob? Then if you don't
Speaker 1: think that this is really possible, why are they floating
Speaker 1: these ideas? I think we're just floated, Like, Okay, if
Speaker 1: we get the health thing worked out. If all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, magically we have testing, we can test on
Speaker 1: the spot and get results. But there's no way in
Speaker 1: the world baseball is going to do this when the
Speaker 1: public doesn't even have it. Baseball would get crucified. Just
Speaker 1: the logistics of everyone playing in Arizona. Thirty teams in Arizona,
Speaker 1: and are they isolated from their families? Yeah, which is
Speaker 1: a big drawback. So how many guys have family? So
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, Okay, i'll see you later, I'm gone
Speaker 1: for the next four and a half months. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: know you're pregnant, but I'll miss the baby and things
Speaker 1: like that. And you're taking reduced pay. Hey, when there's
Speaker 1: no games, all fans these players aren't to be paid
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. They're gonna have to take a big
Speaker 1: take that too. Just like the owners are so all
Speaker 1: kauds of problems. What are the other options here? Bum? Well,
Speaker 1: the big thing is kind of sit back and wait.
Speaker 1: I think that they've talked about some radical stuff dan
Speaker 1: where you almost feel like an ncublate tournament and now brackets,
Speaker 1: but you know safe, you start the season in September,
Speaker 1: play through until Thanksgiving. Kind of a very short regular
Speaker 1: season and maybe just a wild type of incida, you know,
Speaker 1: November badness fact thing for baseball. But they're they're looking
Speaker 1: to play some kind of games, get some of the
Speaker 1: revenue back, at least do something. But they're certainly not
Speaker 1: going to rush into this. But you also have Scott Boris,
Speaker 1: which I understand why he's putting this out, Let's play
Speaker 1: baseball until after Christmas. How do people react it? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's how they reacted. They laugh, which I said, no,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. But he's trying to get his you know
Speaker 1: people paid right right, and that's the thing. Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: like he's got a big overhead and you know, all
Speaker 1: these agents are getting paid either, the players got bills.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to get their money, but that money is
Speaker 1: not going to come and some're not going to come
Speaker 1: at one hundred percent. Uh. You know, the owners are
Speaker 1: saying the revenue just from the ballpark, concessions, parking and
Speaker 1: all that is about you know, thirty five percent. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, has explained to me if you're if you're
Speaker 1: you're Mets and you're playing games, and uh in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: are you going to sell advertising race a city field
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing, So a lot, a lot
Speaker 1: of money you just won't be coming in. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a player, do you really want
Speaker 1: to take a huge pay bet in playing one hundred
Speaker 1: ten degree heat in Arizona without your film is going
Speaker 1: around and you aren't allowed to go out because all
Speaker 1: the bars and restaurants are closed. You're buzz kill Bob today,
Speaker 1: And I thought maybe I was. I was promising a
Speaker 1: hope on today's show. Well, the thing is that, you know,
Speaker 1: they really wanted to get gone. I mean, the union
Speaker 1: wants to get play, the owners want to play everybody else.
Speaker 1: But it's just like, you know, let's don't you know,
Speaker 1: four speed this thing. Let's take some time. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know how all these other events are getting canceled,
Speaker 1: and baseball says, oh, we we're the only sport that's
Speaker 1: going to have the magical cure and the testing and
Speaker 1: everything else. You know, you already have government officials in
Speaker 1: Arizona popping off and saying, we don't now we didn't
Speaker 1: have these tests for our own people that live here,
Speaker 1: and we're going to give them for our athletes that
Speaker 1: come from all around the world and give them special treatment.
Speaker 1: You know what concerns me is these commissioners who keep
Speaker 1: putting out these timelines and it's just I don't it's
Speaker 1: not dangerous, but it's false. Hope there where you saying, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe if we have baseball in May and we have
Speaker 1: a two week spring training and then we I thought
Speaker 1: Adam Silver did the right thing, the NBA commissioner. He said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you any time frame the
Speaker 1: rest of this month. Let's reassess when we get to May.
Speaker 1: It feels like baseball is trying too hard to make
Speaker 1: this work instead of letting it come to them. They're
Speaker 1: trying to go after this and you can't, No, you can't.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, SEVENE was that big you
Speaker 1: know Pep talk with they Donald Trump a day with
Speaker 1: all the commissioners and okay, hey, I love sports. Let's
Speaker 1: do everything possible. We're behind you. Whatever you guys can
Speaker 1: do to help out, you know, the entertainment business and
Speaker 1: all that. So I think part of it is from that.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think Adam Silver, you know
Speaker 1: what's perfectly said, you know, during him to talk to
Speaker 1: him and we don't even know what's going on, you know,
Speaker 1: until May until then, So it's just way too way
Speaker 1: too much of a rush. And say may, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't see how that's possible. And also how you're
Speaker 1: going to manage your pitching staff if it's a one
Speaker 1: hundred games schedule season, let's let's just say it is.
Speaker 1: Are you going to be able to add more players
Speaker 1: to the roster? I think there's a lot of questions
Speaker 1: that are left to be answered if if we do
Speaker 1: play baseball, what does it look like with your roster um?
Speaker 1: You know, if we do these double headers, you know,
Speaker 1: having the amount of pictures, are you going to be
Speaker 1: able to add a couple of pictures here? What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? I think they'll definitely add three guys. Dan,
Speaker 1: so instead of a twenty six man roster, it's twenty
Speaker 1: six years this year and said the usual twenty five
Speaker 1: go to twenty nine thirty maximum. But you're right, you're
Speaker 1: gonna need more pictures, just like we did in after
Speaker 1: yet five or stoppage and do that. That's I'm not
Speaker 1: sure seven innings you make sense to help out pictures.
Speaker 1: But you know, baseball is so big of the the
Speaker 1: you know, history and record books and everything else. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we sell these complete games and no hitters.
Speaker 1: It's like, wait a minute, now, you know you're you're
Speaker 1: changing everything. Yes, who would be the overwhelming favor It
Speaker 1: would be the favorite to win it all this year
Speaker 1: if we do play baseball. My kick before this all
Speaker 1: came about, it was the Dodgers over the Uncle and A.
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers are loaded. I love that Mookie
Speaker 1: Betts trade. I think David Price go up from the
Speaker 1: Al East to the Dodgers. Dave and pitching in that
Speaker 1: division off ballpark, you know, he could be a cy
Speaker 1: young guy again. So I thought they were the big
Speaker 1: time favorites. And I will say this layoff though. You know,
Speaker 1: even though I thought I was going to crush the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros with everything that we go through on the road,
Speaker 1: when baseball comes back, I don't know how much you know,
Speaker 1: fans are going to jump all over the Astros. It's like,
Speaker 1: with all we've gone through, are we really going to
Speaker 1: boo these guys who we really care that much about
Speaker 1: baseball cheating in light of what the what's going on
Speaker 1: with the rest of the world. So I think it
Speaker 1: actually favors. I think it's a break for the Astros
Speaker 1: because people aren't going to give him such a hard time.
Speaker 1: And I get Justin Burman energy to be healthy by
Speaker 1: the time this thing resets of it does good stuff. Bob,
Speaker 1: Hope you're safe and we appreciate your time, even though
Speaker 1: you were a buzz killed today. Always go down. That's
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale us say today baseball columnists. Yeah, I'm watching
Speaker 1: the Mothership this morning. Jeff Passing is on there and
Speaker 1: he's got a smile on his face, and I go wait,
Speaker 1: and he's smiling. He's mister upbeat. Remember the insight guy
Speaker 1: always had a smile on his face. That's Jeff Passon, Like,
Speaker 1: he's always got a smile on his face. They're baseball great,
Speaker 1: baseball insider. And I'm watching him and I'm going, Okay.
Speaker 1: He's telling Greeny that you know, hey, this could yeah
Speaker 1: what about Yeah, we can do this? And I go, wait,
Speaker 1: we can do this. I don't think we can do this.
Speaker 1: I got some problems with this. But you do have
Speaker 1: the ballparks, you do have the proximity, but you basically
Speaker 1: have to isolate all of these baseball players in hotels
Speaker 1: in Phoenix and Scottsdale, rental homes cond like, I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a club crazy. I was wondering. I know, you
Speaker 1: guys know Scottsdale, Well, it seems like a very hard
Speaker 1: play socially to isolate. You don't want to isolate in
Speaker 1: Scottsdale in the summer. You do, but you know, when
Speaker 1: it comes to February, March, April, it's a nice place
Speaker 1: to be. You would like to be out and about. Plus,
Speaker 1: our fans gonna sneak out if you go to these ballparks.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're huge stadiums where you can't see in.
Speaker 1: And if you're a fan, who's like, are you going
Speaker 1: to go to these games? Can you be on the
Speaker 1: outside looking in even though you're not gonna be allowed.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is happening. I like that we
Speaker 1: that we're being creative here, but I also think we're
Speaker 1: being reckless with the creativity here, because now you're gonna
Speaker 1: have people go, hey, you know what I'm hearing. I
Speaker 1: like when people who don't do this for a living
Speaker 1: they're hearing things. You know what I'm hearing? A hundred
Speaker 1: games schedule, seven inning double hitters. That's when I'm here. Oh,
Speaker 1: you are all right, Well, thank you, yeah, pull Mclub's
Speaker 1: right that that Scotsdale lifestyle is pretty good. I moved
Speaker 1: out there in the nineties and my first job in
Speaker 1: Scottsdale was a beer vendor at Scottsdale Stadium for the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. Beer here and it was the strike season,
Speaker 1: so it was all strike players. It wasn't even like
Speaker 1: the real good players, but it was. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun to be a beer van. A couple
Speaker 1: of phone calls in here each seven seven three D
Speaker 1: P show email ad drafts DP at Dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: Dan and North Carolina have been on hold for a while, Dan,
Speaker 1: how are you? Yeah? Hey, how are you doing? Dane?
Speaker 1: When I first heard you guys were moving to YouTube,
Speaker 1: I was really excited because now I can see your
Speaker 1: draft coverage and now thanks to the quarantine, you have
Speaker 1: practice doing it from remote locations. And that's the Beast party.
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of. Thank you, Dan,
Speaker 1: somebody actually wants to be Should we do a draft party?
Speaker 1: Should we do draft coverage like Thursday night of the
Speaker 1: you know, the first round, and people can watch us
Speaker 1: watch the draft. Is it okay if it's drafts at
Speaker 1: the drafts. Still yes, okay, and and we can drink. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll have drafts watching the draft, and then we'll have
Speaker 1: social commentary. What could go wrong? Say a bunch of
Speaker 1: things like a gap and three te yes. Yes, I
Speaker 1: don't know what anither mean, oily hips, wastebender, I call
Speaker 1: oily hips real twitchy, twitchy guy. But we don't have
Speaker 1: mayok like Mayock always had one of those. Maybe he'll
Speaker 1: be busy on draft night. He's more quick than fast.
Speaker 1: And that guy, yeah, that's a big one. Waste bender. Ye,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm assuming everybody's a waste bender. I I
Speaker 1: unless you know your Simone Biles and you can do
Speaker 1: something different your contortionist, but I think of your wastebender.
Speaker 1: We're all waste benders. Yeah see, and some of us
Speaker 1: don't bend at the waist like we used to. But
Speaker 1: if we're best, if we are bending, it would be
Speaker 1: from the waist. I'm guessing, but I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a club. I like the guy as the offensive line.
Speaker 1: It was short arms. We have dinosaur arms. I know
Speaker 1: that art. But this is like you're you're in your
Speaker 1: little club and you use these things because you're inside
Speaker 1: and yeah, you're not You're not a guy. You don't
Speaker 1: know what this terminal. This is what we say to
Speaker 1: one another. So I like its code, and it's you
Speaker 1: got a little secret club there and you got you know,
Speaker 1: he puts his what's his his hand in the dirt,
Speaker 1: remember that. Oh he's a guy puts his hand in
Speaker 1: the dirt. I go, I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's dirt unless it's Oakland Coliseum, his grass or Hastard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he puts his hand in the dirt. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that means. And it's a gap not ug gap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what? Uh he plays that ug gap gap? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that's when they know that you're fake. You know.
Speaker 1: I was watching this guy. It's a Dominican sue in
Speaker 1: that ug gap and he's really good. Yeah, I like.
Speaker 1: I hear him say three technique and I just mean
Speaker 1: I'm home. I just nod my head and I think
Speaker 1: I know what it means, but I don't really know
Speaker 1: what it means. Yeah, isn't there a five technique? Two?
Speaker 1: Is that like a five player like Dodgers stars Sean Green,
Speaker 1: like a really awesome player. Five technique. It's a five
Speaker 1: tool player, right, but there's also something called a five technique,
Speaker 1: which is a position like a three technique. J. J.
Speaker 1: Watson technique. Take that and figures you're gonna pick out
Speaker 1: the Jewish ballplayer Sean Green. Mclovin, Well, you mentioned Ben Scully.
Speaker 1: Whatever Sean Green would come to bat, he would go
Speaker 1: through every Jewish player in the league. It was a
Speaker 1: best secap. He's like, well, then there's Astros Catcher, Brad Alsmith,
Speaker 1: and then we got Michael Lieberthal and the Rod Crew,
Speaker 1: David Eckstein not at you. All right, We'll take a
Speaker 1: break here. More phone calls coming up, and we're back
Speaker 1: after this on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
Speaker 1: all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com

Speaker 1: Saw this in the New York Post today Andrew Marshawn,
Speaker 1: he covers media sports media for New York Post, and
Speaker 1: he was talking about sort of the fallback plan for
Speaker 1: ESPN for Monday Night Football. They were going all in
Speaker 1: on Romo, and they were going all in on Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: and they whipped on both of them. And it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like Joe Tessa Tour and Boogram McFarland will be back,
Speaker 1: at least I don't think. Feels like they were looking
Speaker 1: at Chris Fowler and Kirk curb Street from Monday Night
Speaker 1: and the other possibility. And Paulie and I discussed this
Speaker 1: maybe a week ago, two weeks ago, where he said,
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Levy would be great for Monday Night,
Speaker 1: very comfortable, good college football guy. Well, he's very versatile
Speaker 1: and play by play. And you put in Dan Orlovsky,
Speaker 1: whose star has risen dramatically at the Mother's Ship. And
Speaker 1: then you put in Lewis Riddick, a former defensive back
Speaker 1: also worked for a front office for an NFL team,
Speaker 1: And maybe that's your Monday Night team. My only concern
Speaker 1: if you do this, and I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I call it a concern what ESPN is doing on
Speaker 1: Monday Night, but just as a viewer, if Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: I think this is Drew Brees's last year and he's
Speaker 1: got an open invitation to join Fox, NBC and ESPN.
Speaker 1: From what I've read, you don't want to start something.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you got to blow
Speaker 1: it up again. That'd be my only concern with that.
Speaker 1: But if you said, Dan Orlomsky, Lewis Riddick, and Steve Levy,
Speaker 1: we're doing Monday Night Football, I'm fine with that. I'm okay.
Speaker 1: It's ESPN has overthought this for twenty years. If you
Speaker 1: have good games, that's the most important part of this,
Speaker 1: having good games surrounding it. And I think they surround
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football really well. The lead in the coverage,
Speaker 1: you know, the pregame. I think they do a really
Speaker 1: good job with that. I just think that they've they've
Speaker 1: had some you know, hiccups when it comes to the broadcast,
Speaker 1: and you know, Joe and Booger, they got rough top
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and these networks react to Twitter, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna put some people in there. Or Lobsky is very bright,
Speaker 1: not afraid to say something, Lewis Riddick, very bright, Levy
Speaker 1: is a comfortable listen. And maybe that's the new team.
Speaker 1: But Philip Rivers is gonna he'll be available to do
Speaker 1: this in one year, and I think Philip Rivers could
Speaker 1: be really good. And Drew Brees is going to be available,
Speaker 1: and then who knows. You know somebody else down the
Speaker 1: road and you're gonna go, oh. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: that guy was gonna be good. We didn't know Tony
Speaker 1: Romo was going to be this good. Nobody did except
Speaker 1: for I will say. Rich Eysen was telling me about
Speaker 1: Romo's audition and I don't know if he saw it
Speaker 1: or heard it, but he got wind of it and
Speaker 1: he said, hey, Romo killed it. I go really, because
Speaker 1: he killed it. He was great. I go, wow. It's
Speaker 1: like Sterling Sharp never said anything to media, and that's
Speaker 1: one of the smartest football people I've ever been around,
Speaker 1: and I've been around a lot of football people. He's bright,
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, effervescent, loquacious. I mean, you
Speaker 1: couldn't get him shut up. You know, his brother, we
Speaker 1: knew that Shannon loved to talk, but Sterling didn't talk.
Speaker 1: But you know, you just never know with these guys.
Speaker 1: And some guys you think are going to be good
Speaker 1: and they're not good, and some guys you go, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Jay Cutler gonna be good. Like
Speaker 1: I still don't know if Jay Cutler's good. He's really
Speaker 1: good on very cavalery, if if he was like that
Speaker 1: on a broadcast and you put her in there too,
Speaker 1: that would be great. He's entertaining, but is he good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but god, I couldn't imagine being married
Speaker 1: to him he died. I don't know how he got
Speaker 1: this far in life. I think he's a really bright guy.
Speaker 1: He's got a great arm. But I don't think he
Speaker 1: wants to do anything. He wakes up and goes, how
Speaker 1: can I not do anything today? Doesn't that sound kind
Speaker 1: of great? It does, Like I mean, they I feel
Speaker 1: like that's supposed to be a knock on him, but
Speaker 1: it actually makes me like it more. I'm like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I get it for sure. I think they're stuck in
Speaker 1: quotations in the Bahamas. Yeah. Yeah, he and his wife
Speaker 1: and another couple or a couple other people have been
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas for about thirty two days as a
Speaker 1: resort and they're not allowed to leave or they don't
Speaker 1: want to leave. It's hard to tell. Like, sorry, I
Speaker 1: can't get out. Yeah, it's got it. Sorry. By the way, danimation,
Speaker 1: we have Seaton getting the pie the number of pie
Speaker 1: when he lost the Have you seen the cartoon Seaton? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. So we have danimation, and so we just
Speaker 1: started this with some of the iconic moments there and
Speaker 1: you can go to the website. Mario has done a
Speaker 1: great job, a good job and helping with the danimation.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Yeah good. But yeah, Seaton getting the
Speaker 1: pie to the face. I remember you guys were so
Speaker 1: like let down that that was what happened with the
Speaker 1: Wheel of Punishment, that Seaton had to get five pies
Speaker 1: random and it turned out to be one of our
Speaker 1: great Wheel of punishments. Yeah. I remember that specifically because
Speaker 1: Fritzie had the choice to give seat in the punishment
Speaker 1: and it was either the friar tuck haircut that I
Speaker 1: think Tim Tebow had a training camp, or the five
Speaker 1: pies in the face. And I was very upset because
Speaker 1: I was like, the see Seats got the best hair
Speaker 1: on the show on this side of the glass, on
Speaker 1: his hardcore and it actually worked out great. Oh god.
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget though coming out of the box.
Speaker 1: Um that's when we used to still do the box
Speaker 1: and that I had kind of forgotten about the bet
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you smashed me right in
Speaker 1: the face of the pie, and I was like whoa,
Speaker 1: we're doing this? Yeah, crazy, I know. It kind of
Speaker 1: put me on edge for the next I don't know
Speaker 1: how long month or two. That's what every time I
Speaker 1: turned a corner. That was what was great is you
Speaker 1: never knew. And I think there were five pies that
Speaker 1: you could get, and I blasted you with one and
Speaker 1: then you came out of the bathroom. One day, I
Speaker 1: would have the poison the back, go out and get
Speaker 1: like Alan, the it guy. Alan would go out and
Speaker 1: get pie crossed cream and throw it a hall together
Speaker 1: and they'd make it in the back and I go,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna blast Seaton here. And then J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt paid it off at the super Bowl. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: if you remember why was in the back room. I
Speaker 1: think it was at the San Francisco super Bowl and
Speaker 1: he just had surgery, like stomach surgery, and we're like,
Speaker 1: we have a bit of you, guys. I can't do
Speaker 1: anything physical like block you or tackle you. Like, We're like, no,
Speaker 1: You're gonna smash this guy in the face of the pickers. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll do that. Yeah, And Seaton came outside because I
Speaker 1: trying to set him up, I said, watside. So in
Speaker 1: between commercial breaks, we went outside and JJ Watt was
Speaker 1: right behind the door and blasted Seaton. It was great, awesome.
Speaker 1: The final hour coming up the Blazers Damian Lillard will
Speaker 1: join us on the program.
