Speaker 1: You were listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's a Thursday. It's hour or two here
Speaker 1: in Scottsdale. Beautiful once again. Temperatures should be in the seventies.
Speaker 1: They start out and around forty degrees when we get
Speaker 1: here at five thirty in the morning, and then the
Speaker 1: sun comes up and we're good to go. Great backdrop here.
Speaker 1: We're in right field at Scottsdale Stadium, home to San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giant Scott to take some batting practice early early
Speaker 1: this morning, and I wanted these guys to hear what
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour sounded like. And we got
Speaker 1: into the cage down below Fritzie. Fritzie looked like Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1: There he was swinging. You were you were making no, no,
Speaker 1: You looked at us five or something. Then Fritziel's can
Speaker 1: I get batting gloves? And I go it really stungh, gosh,
Speaker 1: didn't you guys feel that that kind of hurt? You
Speaker 1: didn't even get in when they were throwing a hundred
Speaker 1: I did not take the guy that was just kind
Speaker 1: of logging all. A guy named Pedro was throwing about
Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour, about as far as I was like,
Speaker 1: you were getting it. He made good contact, and then
Speaker 1: I said, all right, let's get in dial it up
Speaker 1: to a hundred, and I just wanted to make contact.
Speaker 1: I fouled one off and I went, all right, I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm out of here. The sound of one hundred miles
Speaker 1: an hour is unsettling. It's like, yeah, I remember there
Speaker 1: was a baseball player who faced Nolan Ryan and he
Speaker 1: complained to the umpire and he goes, that didn't sound
Speaker 1: like a strike. He didn't say that didn't look like
Speaker 1: a strike. Just the sound of Nolan Ryan throwing a fastball.
Speaker 1: He's like, that didn't sound like a strike. Yeah, Paul
Speaker 1: Fritzie batting face looks like John Mayer guitar solo Seeton.
Speaker 1: You got you with me on that, Like Joe cockerback
Speaker 1: in the days, John May look at his face like
Speaker 1: at the screen mountains. Yeah, he was. He was digging
Speaker 1: in there. We couldn't get him out of the cage there.
Speaker 1: Marvin got in, took some rits. Yeah, that contact on
Speaker 1: two of them with but one hundred. These guys eat
Speaker 1: up one hundred. It's when it's ninety two and it's
Speaker 1: moving and it's like they have a jugs gun, they
Speaker 1: have a pitching machine. Oh, we're showing it's Fritzie slow motion.
Speaker 1: If you're watching on Peacock Fritzie. Uh well, the Mighty
Speaker 1: Casey has struck out. Get out of help from my friends.
Speaker 1: Uh our thanks to the giants. We had to sign
Speaker 1: a waiver because they thought, if you know, we happened
Speaker 1: to get hurt. And then Fritzie looked at the fine
Speaker 1: print and he says, they're asking if I want to
Speaker 1: be cremated here, thank you very cremated question. Man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I should sign that. Yeah, yes, Marv,
Speaker 1: Oh no, hey, I want to apologize to Bobby Jones
Speaker 1: and Casey Jones about the Hall of Fame. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: brought up Kyrie Irving and then you said, well, Kyrie's
Speaker 1: gonna get in the Hall of Fame. Bobby Jones is
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Shame. Here's my theory regarding to
Speaker 1: basketball Hall of Fame. Now, I just thought about it.
Speaker 1: Either yourn't iconic teams, or you have iconic moments. Okay,
Speaker 1: So if you're on like the eighty three sixes, which
Speaker 1: is forgive me Paulie, they feel eighty five Barrish. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're at that. For that one season they were dominant
Speaker 1: and Casey Jones a part of those championships with the Celsians, obvious,
Speaker 1: like Reggie Miller, like those moments at the Garden, you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I think that gets you into
Speaker 1: the hall. All Right, we say good morning those watching
Speaker 1: on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Download the app and
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Chris Mannox get his thoughts on the deal.
Speaker 1: That certainly, if you're waking up in Phoenix, Scottsdale surrounding areas,
Speaker 1: you got Kevin Durant, you got a new owner, and
Speaker 1: he certainly made a splash here as Kevin durandt is
Speaker 1: now a member of the Phoenix Suns. As we bring
Speaker 1: in the Great Reporter Sports Illustrated Senior, right, Chris Mannix,
Speaker 1: how big of a surprise is this that Durand's Durant's
Speaker 1: now and Phoenix, Chris, It's it's a pretty big surprise.
Speaker 1: You know. The Nets in making the Kyrie Irving trade,
Speaker 1: they have been operating like a team that for at
Speaker 1: least the rest of this season, was trying to see
Speaker 1: what it could do with Kevin Durant. They had other
Speaker 1: offers for Irving, specifically with the Lakers that might have
Speaker 1: brought back more in terms of draft capital, but the
Speaker 1: Mavericks deal you gave them NBA talent. I mean Spencer
Speaker 1: Dinwittie eighteen point per game score, Dorian Phinney Smith is
Speaker 1: one of the best wing defenders in the NBA. So
Speaker 1: the plan in the aftermath of the Irving trade was
Speaker 1: to kind of try to see what they can do
Speaker 1: with Durant and a bunch of high quality role players.
Speaker 1: That really changed in the last twenty four hours, maybe
Speaker 1: less in with with the Sons being the aggressor with
Speaker 1: their new owner Matt Ishpia really wanted to make a
Speaker 1: splash and you know, coming to the table with an
Speaker 1: offer for Kevin Durant that was more significant and gave
Speaker 1: the Nets more than what they wanted uh last summer.
Speaker 1: So you know, to get this deal done, I think
Speaker 1: you've got to give credit to the new ownership in
Speaker 1: Phoenix for really pushing to make something like this happen.
Speaker 1: And they also didn't have to give up DeAndre Ayden
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he wants to stay in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: He and Monty Williams have had their moments there, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I just don't think the Nets
Speaker 1: wanted DeAndre Aden. I really doubt I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think they could have had DeAndre Aden. I think they
Speaker 1: could have had DeAndre Aden last year. Um, Look, the
Speaker 1: player they wanted was Michael Bridges. I mean, Michael Bridges
Speaker 1: is a modern NBA talent. Um you know, he's a
Speaker 1: long wing player. Maybe you know, one of the top
Speaker 1: you know, top two or three best defensive players in
Speaker 1: the league. Manageable contract for the next I think four years,
Speaker 1: three to four years. They wanted mccael Bridges, and they
Speaker 1: wanted every draft pick the Suns could give up. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly they got, exactly what they wanted in this deal.
Speaker 1: All right, explain the Lakers situation. You don't get Kyrie.
Speaker 1: That felt like Darvin ham and Russell Westbrook were playing
Speaker 1: nice until the other night when they had words with
Speaker 1: one another. And now he's in Utah. You get D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 1: But I looked at the DraftKings odds to win at all,
Speaker 1: the Lakers odds didn't change one bit. So how dangerous
Speaker 1: are the Lakers? Well, they should have changed because I
Speaker 1: think the Lakers did a fantastic job over the last
Speaker 1: week leading up to this trade deadline, beginning with acquiring
Speaker 1: Ruy Hashimorro, who kind of stabilizes that small fourth position
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup, and then Dan. They went out
Speaker 1: and finally realized that to build a six sessful team
Speaker 1: around Lebron James's talent, you need shooting. This is something
Speaker 1: that Miami did, this is something that Cleveland did, and
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, it's the kind of
Speaker 1: thing the Lakers downplayed as being as being necessary with
Speaker 1: their signings and the trade of Russell Westbrook or for
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. Now they get some guys, you know from Utah,
Speaker 1: like Malik Beasley. He can really shoot Ruy Yoshimura from
Speaker 1: specific spots on the floor. He can really shoot D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 1: In January, Russell shot forty percent from three. This month
Speaker 1: he's right around forty three percent from three. He's really
Speaker 1: coming alive with that jump shot. They are a decidedly
Speaker 1: better team now than they were a week and a
Speaker 1: half ago. And look, you don't want to use the
Speaker 1: cliche of you don't want to play Lebron in the playoffs. Well,
Speaker 1: Lebron with a healthy Anthony Davis and this group around him,
Speaker 1: you know, with enough time to kind of come together,
Speaker 1: I think they've got it. They're gonna be I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a really dangerous team in the postseason.
Speaker 1: Explain to me how Kyrie and Luca work together. I
Speaker 1: think they'll work fine. Offensively, you know, m Kyrie made
Speaker 1: it work, albeit in a brief period with James Harden
Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant, and with just Kevin Durant. Now Kyrie
Speaker 1: can play off the ball. He's an excellent catch and
Speaker 1: shoot player, and there's only so many shots that Luca
Speaker 1: Dodgers can take. And look, I've been to several Mavericks
Speaker 1: games this year, but you could see the frustration on
Speaker 1: the face of Luca at varying points during the games
Speaker 1: because he was having to do everything. Now, maybe the
Speaker 1: minutes can tick down a little bit, Maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be you know, the twenty two
Speaker 1: second per twenty four second shot blot guy every single possession.
Speaker 1: Kyrie's gonna take a lot of stress off him offensively.
Speaker 1: The problem is they are going to be deplorable defensively.
Speaker 1: Like you've got Kyrie and Luca, who at that are
Speaker 1: average defenders. You've got Christian Woods still there for now,
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happened for the next five or
Speaker 1: six hours. Your three best offensive players are not good
Speaker 1: defensive players, and generally speaking, that's not a recipe for
Speaker 1: success in the postseason. They're gonna have to average one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty again, They're gonna have to have it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna outscore you because if you need a critical stop,
Speaker 1: that ain't happening with the Dallas Mavericks. Well it's also Dan.
Speaker 1: I mean not to swing it back to Phoenix, but
Speaker 1: that's kind of the question mark there too, right, Like
Speaker 1: they just traded away Bridges. Cam Johnson was a good
Speaker 1: player for them, and I don't really know what they're
Speaker 1: left with there like that. There's some weird line up
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw out there now. They're gonna
Speaker 1: score a lot of points too, And Durant and Booker
Speaker 1: are as good at one two punch in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Chris Paul is the right point guard to kind of
Speaker 1: meld all that together. But Chris Paul's got the defender
Speaker 1: he used to be. Kevin Durant's a good defender. Booker's
Speaker 1: okay defender, good average defender. Like that's a team that
Speaker 1: I think, especially in the first couple of weeks of
Speaker 1: this experiment, is going to have some nights where they're
Speaker 1: giving up a lot of points. Who would have thought
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons would be the last guy standing with the nets.
Speaker 1: Do you think that they tried to trade him, include
Speaker 1: him in any trades? Well, I don't. That's to say
Speaker 1: that's a poison pill in trades would be an understatement.
Speaker 1: I just there's no market for him, Like what, there's none,
Speaker 1: Like there's Dan, there's no market for him whatsoever. Like
Speaker 1: he's physically not able to prove he can stay on
Speaker 1: the floor. When he's out there, he still won't shoot.
Speaker 1: He's not the defensive player that he used to be. There.
Speaker 1: There's just he's got, you know, one of the worst
Speaker 1: contracts now in the NBA, maybe v worst contract in
Speaker 1: the NBA. Um nobody's acquiring at the moment. Maybe. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: we say this all the time, like maybe now with
Speaker 1: a lesser role, Ben Simmons will play better. Maybe now
Speaker 1: with a bigger role, Ben Simmons will play better. But
Speaker 1: if you think about it, Dan even on this now
Speaker 1: gutted Nets team. Where do you rank Simmons in terms
Speaker 1: of best players? Like fifth, He's still not among the
Speaker 1: top five or six guys or maybe six or fifth
Speaker 1: or six on that roster right now. So the rebuilding
Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons is going to have to continue because
Speaker 1: nobody out there was or is interested in training for him.
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this, with the Suns making the
Speaker 1: move with Kevin Durant, your favorite right now in the
Speaker 1: NBA to win it all is I still think it's
Speaker 1: going to come out of the Eastern Conference. And I'd
Speaker 1: had you a little bit just say Boston or Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: I think those two teams have been the most consistent.
Speaker 1: I'd say Boston Milwaukee didn't exist, because Boston, I think
Speaker 1: beats everybody else. But they have problems with the Bucks
Speaker 1: and have had problems with the Bucks over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. And I look, I think Milwaukee's still
Speaker 1: gonna deal to make two in the next few hours.
Speaker 1: They have and doing everything possible to extract Jay Crowder
Speaker 1: when he was with Phoenix. I think they're gonna find
Speaker 1: a way to get him out of Brooklyn in some
Speaker 1: kind of deal. Because the Nets have no use for
Speaker 1: him at this point. You put Jay Crowder and if
Speaker 1: he's still able to play, you know, having missed the
Speaker 1: entire season at a high level, that's going to be
Speaker 1: an upgrade for them. So it's one and one A
Speaker 1: Boston Milwaukee to win the whole thing. Um however you
Speaker 1: want to to rank them. Always good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: We miss you and we hope you're doing well. Chris, No,
Speaker 1: you don't No, you don't. Nah, you don't you don't
Speaker 1: you dont you never call you never Wright? This is
Speaker 1: like I even like deleted Fritzy's number from my phone.
Speaker 1: I just saw his area code pop up. So you
Speaker 1: know that's that's that is That is pandering. Damn, that's
Speaker 1: straight pandering. We reached out to you earlier this season
Speaker 1: and you weren't available. Now I think i'd need I
Speaker 1: need to do to make a whiteboard list of the
Speaker 1: NBA insiders you're called before me? Like, was was I
Speaker 1: like the fourth guy on the list? Here? Radio guys,
Speaker 1: let me ask hold on paul uh Paulieu. Do you
Speaker 1: know if Mannox was the first guy we called today?
Speaker 1: Do you want me to be nice? I want me
Speaker 1: to be truthful, be truthful. Okay you were third. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we're talking about what would you not you know?
Speaker 1: And Chris Haynes Chris easy, easy, easy, you know, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: Fritzie whatever. Like I said to Rich Eisen, I'm a
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen guy now, so I'm I'm te specially rich.
Speaker 1: There's a T shirt. Why did you come on to today? Then?
Speaker 1: If you're a Rich Eisen guy, I just, you know,
Speaker 1: to be respectful and I enjoy our conversations since. But
Speaker 1: you just disrespected me by being respectful to me. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pointing out the level of disrespect that's been direct.
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Chris Haynes. Chris Haynes is on hold here,
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I've been waiting for ten minutes. Thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Chris Mannix. Chris Mannix, which illustrated senior writer. Oh
Speaker 1: he got frosty because we reached out to him one
Speaker 1: time and he either didn't have anything or he was
Speaker 1: sorry available. Yeah. I think he's one of those guys.
Speaker 1: Now it needs like twenty four to forty eight hours
Speaker 1: at least notice, or you gotta talk to We've had
Speaker 1: Mannix on probably more than any other in the history
Speaker 1: of the NBA writer. What is he cranky about? Then?
Speaker 1: I don't know, And you know it could midlight crisis
Speaker 1: or recency bias. I think a couple of times when
Speaker 1: a story broke, he didn't get a call and he's like, huh,
Speaker 1: he usually get a call. He's used to getting the
Speaker 1: call over the past year. Well, you know, I told Fritzie,
Speaker 1: why don't you check to see if Mannix has anything
Speaker 1: on this story? You know, it seems like a novel
Speaker 1: approach to have somebody on and retweeting something that doesn't
Speaker 1: and Mannix is in love. Mannix is in love. He's
Speaker 1: got other things to worry about. Seen it. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: probably cares more about boxing than women's boxing than he
Speaker 1: does UFC. He's been knocked out, Yes he has. Let's
Speaker 1: take a break. He's cute's sweep. No, I'm glad. I'm
Speaker 1: happy for him. But when he announces that he's a
Speaker 1: rich eyes and guy, now okay, it's like all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he got engaged and like put on his
Speaker 1: big boy pants and he's like, I'm gonna you guys,
Speaker 1: can't dream me like this? Yeah take that. Yeah. Marv
Speaker 1: Vloody d Box in the Hall of Fame too. Well,
Speaker 1: you stop this. Why are you hating today, I'm not hating,
Speaker 1: Yeah you are. You're pointing out all these guys that
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Ky's gonna get in the Hall of Fame. Do
Speaker 1: you think Kyrie's gonna get in the Hall of Fame? Oh?
Speaker 1: Without questions? Okay, that I just I just named you
Speaker 1: three guys before. Okay, throughout the show, we'll keep going. Okay,
Speaker 1: you do that, you hate her, it's easier to get
Speaker 1: into the basketball Hall of Fame. Correct, Okay. Steve Garvey's
Speaker 1: not in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and he should be.
Speaker 1: We're gonna work on that. Yeah, thank you, Mark, Dia
Speaker 1: Rogers and Dino rog He is not in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame? Is he? I swear on my son? Oh
Speaker 1: that's well, that's international. That's international play for Dino Raja.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't swear my son, should I Dina Rogers in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? No? Okay, Yeah, Kyrie's gonna make
Speaker 1: the Dino Raja. But he had a great international career.

Speaker 1: looking ready for Super Bowl Sunday. Sound Palantonio, It looks
Speaker 1: like he's ready for a TV appearance. There, you look
Speaker 1: like you're ready for ready to go on TV. You
Speaker 1: knows as a reporter you always have to be ready
Speaker 1: whenever you would sit around the mother Ship and that'll
Speaker 1: be breaking news that you know, depending on what the
Speaker 1: sport was. You go, hey, put on a jacket prop
Speaker 1: you up and all of a sudden you go on TV.
Speaker 1: Sound good to see you, great to be here, dare, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're looking good all right? Is it different with your
Speaker 1: hometown team? Is a super Bowl? Yes, just telling Todd
Speaker 1: you know, I'm up to my chest and snakes and alligators? Man?
Speaker 1: Why And it's everything all the time. It's twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven coverage, you know, as it is when you
Speaker 1: cover in a Super Bowl team for ESPN. But then
Speaker 1: you add the fact that it's your hometown team, and
Speaker 1: there are a lot of requests, a lot, and you
Speaker 1: know you don't want anything to fall through the cracks.
Speaker 1: You don't want anything anybody reporting a story before you
Speaker 1: do either. But how taxing is that for NFL reporters?
Speaker 1: Certainly the importance of the sport for ESPN of not.
Speaker 1: It's not taxing. You know, it's it's fun. It's definitely fun.
Speaker 1: But if somebody beat you to a story that you
Speaker 1: should have gotten, blaming on Adam Schefter, all else fails. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you blame Chef. You can take him, couldn't you? And
Speaker 1: in what way? I a fight? Probably? I don't know. Wait, wait, clear,
Speaker 1: has have you seen Adams? I've seen him. I've seen
Speaker 1: him without a shirt off. Adams got a shirt. He
Speaker 1: was in the gym yesterday with me. He's he looks
Speaker 1: like he's doing pretty good. Yeah, but clear something up.
Speaker 1: Were you a Navy seal? I was not a Navy seal,
Speaker 1: though I was. I was a surface warfare officer in
Speaker 1: the United States Navy for six years. Okay, but that
Speaker 1: sounds serious. I went through boot camp and Officer Candidate school,
Speaker 1: pretty rigorous training. And you train while you're in the Navy.
Speaker 1: So what did you want to do? Excuse me, what
Speaker 1: did you want to do in the military? What I
Speaker 1: did my service I was in. I enjoyed it. It
Speaker 1: was great, but I missed my family, you know, being
Speaker 1: out at sea it's hard. Yeah. Yeah, So you have
Speaker 1: to make a choice. Really, if you're in the Navy,
Speaker 1: you're either gonna be out at sea or you're gonna
Speaker 1: come home. And and Cheft hasn't been on a destroyer.
Speaker 1: No telling him on, I would take you over, Chefton.
Speaker 1: That was I think there was almost going to be
Speaker 1: a fight in Houston, almost at the bar, and I
Speaker 1: remember Salam Powell was there and you had my back.
Speaker 1: We won't about that, but but you know, we could
Speaker 1: talk about it. Sal doesn't have to. All I know
Speaker 1: is there was a guy who wanted me to do
Speaker 1: a shot and I didn't want to do the shot.
Speaker 1: Wasn't Dippelware. Yeah I did, so I do remember it.
Speaker 1: And all I know is I do remember it quite well.
Speaker 1: This guy was getting in my face because I he
Speaker 1: study thought that I was too good to have a
Speaker 1: shot with him, and I'm going no, I just I
Speaker 1: don't want to do a drink. If I do a shot,
Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna say I saw him do five shots.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, Sal is just staring at
Speaker 1: this guy and you got your hands out. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you you recall what you did, but you're
Speaker 1: like ready to go. And you did have my back.
Speaker 1: Nobody else who was with me had my back, but
Speaker 1: you did, and you were ready to maybe disarm this person. Hey, hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes you just got to look at a guy
Speaker 1: and they know they got no shot. Cut what is?
Speaker 1: What is? So? This is your thirtieth Super Bowl? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the biggest change social media? Yea, yeah, gambling big.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the best Eagles team of all
Speaker 1: time in my opinion, cover the team for thirty years.
Speaker 1: But it's also the most engaged team of all time.
Speaker 1: You know you go around Philadelphia, Yeah, thirty thousand people
Speaker 1: out on the streets when they won the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1: People are totally emotionally engaged in this team. And I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with gambling.
Speaker 1: I really do. People are gambling on the NFL like crazy,
Speaker 1: But sixteen billion is going to be gambled on the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Have they broken it down by cities? Like
Speaker 1: where Philadelphia would rank gambling on Sundays any Sunday? Top three?
Speaker 1: You think so? Sure? You know when New York made
Speaker 1: online gambling legal, which was in January of this year,
Speaker 1: excuse me, twenty twenty two. We saw an explosion in
Speaker 1: gambling when online gambling was legal in New York. And
Speaker 1: it's New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. That's the vortex other
Speaker 1: than Las Vegas. How concerned are you of where we
Speaker 1: are now to where we're going to be gambling? And
Speaker 1: you got to start thinking about things that could go wrong,
Speaker 1: the various things I would think with the sport with gambling,
Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned about it. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: I think there's enough money in the sport, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're talking about players and your coaches, right, I
Speaker 1: think there's enough money in the sport where ninety nine
Speaker 1: point nine percent of those involved in the sport are
Speaker 1: not in jeopardy of saying, Okay, I gotta do something.
Speaker 1: They won't be tempted by it. It won't be tempted.
Speaker 1: There's not the temptation there. And the league has put
Speaker 1: in great safeguards, I think, and protections, and they scare
Speaker 1: the players and the coaches and that this is this
Speaker 1: is something you can't do. Sound Palantonio the Mothership joining
Speaker 1: us here in scotts Dale Stadium. Not a bad set
Speaker 1: up here. They gave us the ballpark. Last time I
Speaker 1: was here, I think I was having a beverage of
Speaker 1: choice with Chris Berman at a right right like literally
Speaker 1: right on this spot. I think this is like a hospitality. Yes,
Speaker 1: and yeah, we've We've come here a lot. Actually, it's fun.
Speaker 1: It's fun, you know, I love baseball of it. Where
Speaker 1: is the drama this week? Oh man? I think the
Speaker 1: number one drama has to be is Jalen Hurt's fully
Speaker 1: healthy to play the game? Absolutely? And what are you hearing, well,
Speaker 1: I think he's healthy enough to do what they need
Speaker 1: him to do to win the game. So I was
Speaker 1: talking one on one with Shane steike In yesterday, no cameras,
Speaker 1: you know, they have the coaching player availability, and he
Speaker 1: was sitting at a table by himself, the offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: to Eagles. No one was around him. So I just
Speaker 1: pulled up a chair next to him. And the last
Speaker 1: question I asked him, I want to a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I just said to him yes or no answer,
Speaker 1: Yes or no answer. Will you be restricted in any way?
Speaker 1: And how you call the game based on Jalen Hurts's shoulder?
Speaker 1: He said, no, We're trying to win this game. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go out and win it. You think he's gonna
Speaker 1: eat surgery in the offseason, No, Okay, I don't because
Speaker 1: it feels like we keep focusing on Mahomes's shoulder. Surgery
Speaker 1: is tough to do anyway, right, Yes, yeah, It's the
Speaker 1: only way you really repair it is through rest, you know,
Speaker 1: over the long period of time. So and he hasn't
Speaker 1: had that. He has had to go back onto the field.
Speaker 1: The high ankle spring, though everybody wants to talk about
Speaker 1: that because it's Mahomes. YEA, Mahomes's value to the Chiefs
Speaker 1: is different than Jalen Hurts and what you're going to
Speaker 1: ask them to do. Can the Eagles get into a shootout?
Speaker 1: They don't have to, and I don't think that they will.
Speaker 1: It rushed forty four times against the Niners in the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. And you look at Mahomes, He's ten
Speaker 1: and three in the postseason ten and three? Am I
Speaker 1: right about that? Paul eight ten and three. So you
Speaker 1: look at the three losses, the common denominator in the
Speaker 1: three losses is he loses the time of possession. Right,
Speaker 1: you gotta play keepaway from Patrick Mahomes. If you try
Speaker 1: to get into a shootout, you're gonna lose. You gotta
Speaker 1: play keepaway. The way to play keepaway is to run
Speaker 1: the football. Cincinnati had eighteen rushes. Dan eighteen rushes in
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. You gotta run the football. I
Speaker 1: know I sound like something you know, dinosaur, but in
Speaker 1: this game, you gotta run and play keep you put
Speaker 1: If you put Mahomes back on the field, you can't
Speaker 1: get him off. He's got a great third down completion percentage.
Speaker 1: They're great as a team on third down, they're great
Speaker 1: as a team on fourth down. Don't put the ball
Speaker 1: in his hands. Play keep away because once you put
Speaker 1: him on the field, he's hard to get off the field. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've said this before that these games come down to
Speaker 1: can you make a stop? Can you run the football?
Speaker 1: And I want when Mahomes gets on the field that
Speaker 1: now he has to have a little more pressure to
Speaker 1: make something happen because if he goes off the field,
Speaker 1: the Eagles run the clock. Now you now you've reduced
Speaker 1: the number of times he's going to get the ball.
Speaker 1: Now you put a little more pressure on the Number
Speaker 1: one outlier in this game is the Eagles offensive line.
Speaker 1: They are the best unit, single unit in this game,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, and they can dominate and they have
Speaker 1: and I think that they will try to run the
Speaker 1: ball and play keep away with Patrick Mahomes. You know,
Speaker 1: defense wins championships, but quarterbacks win the Super Bowl. And
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. You got to prevent Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes from winning the Super Bowl because in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: like you said, if you got to make a stop,
Speaker 1: he's hard to stop. So if he's got the ball,
Speaker 1: in his hands with a chance to win the game
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, You're probably gonna lose. He's probably
Speaker 1: gonna win. Is he a top ten quarterback of all
Speaker 1: time right now? I don't think so. Not yet. Not enough.
Speaker 1: Not enough time yet, Dan, not enough time. I don't
Speaker 1: think top ten. You know he's getting there, though. He's
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. Dana Orlomski says that Joe Montana is
Speaker 1: not a top five quarterback of all Joe Montana is
Speaker 1: a number one quarterback of all time, ahead of Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: I agree with Lawrence Taylor. I take Montana over Brady.
Speaker 1: Why so accurate, never lost the Super Bowl, never threw
Speaker 1: an interception in Super Bowl, just so intuitive with the ball,
Speaker 1: and don't forget you can't touch the quarterbacks now. Montana
Speaker 1: used to get him who lost, yes all the time,
Speaker 1: and he hung in there. I would take Montana. Brady
Speaker 1: is a close second, but I like Joe. But if
Speaker 1: you look back and and having you know, covered the
Speaker 1: NFL and been around for elway in Montana, those guys
Speaker 1: weren't throwing thirty touchdowns in a season because you know,
Speaker 1: the offenses weren't. They weren't geared towards that, or the
Speaker 1: defenses were a whole lot better and more physical. You know,
Speaker 1: when people go out, you know Elway, I think through
Speaker 1: thirty touchdown passes maybe once. Maybe Montana did it once
Speaker 1: as well, but that's not what their games were predicated on.
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers weren't predicated on that. You know,
Speaker 1: we get caught up in what are the numbers? But
Speaker 1: if it came down to one game, it's like somebody
Speaker 1: said to me, Hey, I know you think Lebron's the
Speaker 1: greatest basketball player of all time. Who would you take
Speaker 1: in a one game? I go, let' take Michael Sure.
Speaker 1: But if I said, hey, you got one World Series
Speaker 1: game to win, am I picking Kurt Schilling? Sure? John Smoltz, Sure,
Speaker 1: Jack Morris, sure, Tom sever They're not the greatest pitchers
Speaker 1: of all time that I'm taking? So one game, yes,
Speaker 1: but that's different. You know, Clayton Kershaw has got a
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career, But am I taking him over
Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling? The answers, no, So I don't know what
Speaker 1: we proved there. It was a good discuss, Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Yeah, the commissioner said, the officiating has never
Speaker 1: been better. What did you make of that room? More perfect?
Speaker 1: Never been better? Yeah, you know, I think he's got
Speaker 1: stats to prove it, but I think, you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't pass the eye test for most people who there's
Speaker 1: more social commentary. That's why I think there's more debate.
Speaker 1: That's and there's more rules. Yep. Then that makes it tougher.
Speaker 1: Like I can give them the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: because we've stood on the sidelines and watched an NFL game.
Speaker 1: It's hard to officiate an NFL game. It really is hard,
Speaker 1: and so much of it is subjective. Yes, for sure,
Speaker 1: offensive holding I think is subjective. For sure. Defensive holding
Speaker 1: is not, I think, And I think roughing the passer
Speaker 1: is not subjective. It is not. It really isn't. So
Speaker 1: there were times in that AFC Championship game that I
Speaker 1: thought the Chiefs should have been called for roughing the
Speaker 1: passer on Joe Burrow. Several times. Yes, yeah, it certainly one.
Speaker 1: There was several times. Yeah. But they should review. They
Speaker 1: should be able to review roughing the passer. Yes, I
Speaker 1: agree with Belichick. I think pretty much everything should be reviewable.
Speaker 1: And Dan put it on TV. Why don't we put
Speaker 1: it on television? I mean when he goes under the
Speaker 1: blue tent, start the cameras rolling live, have Troy Vincent
Speaker 1: John running audio, audio, the whole schmir put it all
Speaker 1: on TV. Hey, if we can have If we can
Speaker 1: have cameras and audio in a courtroom in the United
Speaker 1: States of America, why can't we have? Football is more
Speaker 1: important than court rooms. I mean, football is not more
Speaker 1: important than a court room. I mean we we broadcast
Speaker 1: trials live. Why can't we broadcast a review live? And
Speaker 1: guess what you can sponsor it? You can make money
Speaker 1: off it. It'd be great. Oh, I love it. And
Speaker 1: guess what else you could do on it? You know, gamble? Well,
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna get to that. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: gambling on each play. They do that now anyway in stadium.
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest things. You can gamble, And
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable how much young people are gambling all the time.
Speaker 1: But getting back to the refereeing, I think overall they
Speaker 1: do as good a job as they can, and I
Speaker 1: think they can do better for sure. I think all
Speaker 1: you have to do is look at the officiating cruise.
Speaker 1: If you ever read Kevin seyfertscom on ESPN dot Com.
Speaker 1: He does an unbelievable job of reviewing each crew. There's
Speaker 1: too much variation between the cruise on what they call.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be happening. But they also shouldn't have all
Speaker 1: star cruise for playoff games. It should be the team
Speaker 1: that you had. I would agree with that because I
Speaker 1: still go back to the Saints Rams game. If you
Speaker 1: had a team together, egos wouldn't have played a role
Speaker 1: there and and Nope, those guys would have huddled up
Speaker 1: and said, look, you missed it. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: help you out on that. And it felt like that.
Speaker 1: It seems counterintuitive that they don't work together all year
Speaker 1: long and then they're put together during the biggest game
Speaker 1: on the planet on one day. What should be working.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't take a team of all stars and put
Speaker 1: them in the super Bowl. You have to, you know,
Speaker 1: work up towards it. I agree with that. Let's be
Speaker 1: co commissioners. I think we could handle this. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like that. We'll split the paycheck. Okay, how much does
Speaker 1: a commissioner make? Oh, it's way up there, is it sixty?
Speaker 1: It's a lot? Yeah, how much the commissioner closest to
Speaker 1: the whole. What do you think the commissioner is going
Speaker 1: to make this year? I'll say sixty five. It goes
Speaker 1: seventy two. Oh I have fifty four last year. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: well did he have a good year this year? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'd like to be Baseball Commissioner Dan just
Speaker 1: for like a couple of weeks. I'd like to just
Speaker 1: sit with robot Rob Manford. Yea, but see what's would
Speaker 1: you do for two weeks? I want to have to
Speaker 1: have any power. I was just like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: you just want the title. Yeah, just the title. Walk
Speaker 1: around commissioner. Yeah, walk around from you know, spring training
Speaker 1: complex of spring training. Sit where I want to sit.
Speaker 1: I'd be kind of cool. Yeah, you and Peters King,
Speaker 1: You and Peter King. I could see, Yeah you know
Speaker 1: spring training. Baseball is the best thing ever invented by mankind.
Speaker 1: Yes it is, Yes, yes it is. I've spent many
Speaker 1: many a spring in the bleachers here. Yeah. Watch, absolutely

Speaker 1: you're in the Phoenix Scottsdale area, after the show, we'll
Speaker 1: be down at the home Plate Plaza that we've done
Speaker 1: the last couple of days and we'll do a meet
Speaker 1: and greet there. People driven in from California, New Mexico,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and just to say hello and see how small
Speaker 1: Marvin's hands. We had an awkward moment last night. We
Speaker 1: went to Top Golf and I of course wanted to
Speaker 1: bring out my new Picks clubs, and I didn't get
Speaker 1: a chance to do it because I had to say
Speaker 1: all to all of our great sponsors who were there.
Speaker 1: At one point I look over and Marvin's got his
Speaker 1: hands up, and there was a woman who works for us,
Speaker 1: who's a very tiny woman, and she put her hands yes, petite,
Speaker 1: and she put her hands up next to Marvin's and
Speaker 1: it's probably not the best thing for you to do
Speaker 1: that public, claimed Marvin. Well, that's why it was off. Mike. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just brought it out here into public. Well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything is for public consumption here, don't you know. Then
Speaker 1: I'm learning. Okay, So this this woman wanted to her
Speaker 1: wanted to measure her hands, and her hands were I
Speaker 1: think as big as yours, maybe a little bigger if
Speaker 1: you caught the nails. Yes, definitely, yes. Fall at the
Speaker 1: meet and greet all week outside every three or four minutes,
Speaker 1: I see like some sixty year old woman from Wisconsin
Speaker 1: with her hands up and there's Marvin someone taking a picture.
Speaker 1: I no, you think they're giving you a high five,
Speaker 1: And they're like Marvin and man, Marvin's all right, and
Speaker 1: I go, no, no, let's measure our hands there. It
Speaker 1: is definitely, Hey, Marvin, it's so good to wait. Put
Speaker 1: your hand, put your hands up, put your hands up.
Speaker 1: You're a great Okay, Yeah, we like you on the
Speaker 1: show and all that. Put your hands up. Uh, I
Speaker 1: like sound Palantonio's idea. It'll never happen. But if they
Speaker 1: go under the hood for a review and you got
Speaker 1: to hear the home office talking to the official and
Speaker 1: just hear what they're saying. Here, how good a TV
Speaker 1: is that? I mean, the NFL is a reality show.
Speaker 1: Make it a true reality show if you wanted to
Speaker 1: and and let us hear what is said under the hood,
Speaker 1: you got it wrong, let's go. But I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: Don't you want the full transparency of them saying we
Speaker 1: don't have a good angle on that. You know, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to go what your gut feeling is on that,
Speaker 1: or hey, you got to change that. You know, I
Speaker 1: had one foot in whatever it might be. Just to
Speaker 1: get that that moment of clarity from or whatever they're
Speaker 1: hearing and seeing, because how many times do we go
Speaker 1: are they seeing what we're see? Do they see all
Speaker 1: the replace that we're see? And then sometimes they'll go, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, we saw that after the fact, and then
Speaker 1: you go, oh, then they're showing you something You're going, oh, wait,
Speaker 1: how could they call it that? But I think that'd
Speaker 1: be fascinating. Yeah, yeah, you just want to just to
Speaker 1: hear how they got to the decision they're making sometimes,
Speaker 1: but what was the reason? And used? Because we see
Speaker 1: the replay ourselves when you go, okay, well they're obviously
Speaker 1: going to call that, and then they don't. You go wait,
Speaker 1: what are you seeing? Yeah, like how many times even
Speaker 1: just happened in this year's playoffs where it's like, no,
Speaker 1: he's inbounds, that's clearly inbounds, and then they call him
Speaker 1: out and you're like, wow, you can see. I still
Speaker 1: think that they have to do review on roughing the passer.
Speaker 1: I think that that is given the importance of it,
Speaker 1: and for defenders that they're not even quite sure what
Speaker 1: they're allowed to do and not allowed to do. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I was watching NFL films the other day or NFL
Speaker 1: Network and remember that the hit and the Rams Saints game.
Speaker 1: Who would talk about the interference. It was not just
Speaker 1: early contact where it was interference. It was also head
Speaker 1: to head contact. There were two files on the play
Speaker 1: and they ignored both. I could see they didn't catch that.
Speaker 1: They said it was bang bang with the passive interference,
Speaker 1: but it was it was clearly contact of the head.
Speaker 1: They could have called two yes. But that's an all
Speaker 1: star officiating crew and it felt like nobody wanted to
Speaker 1: embarrass somebody there, and I think your regular crew would
Speaker 1: be honest with you and say, you know what, I
Speaker 1: think you missed that one. Let's huddle up together. Yeah, Seed,
Speaker 1: But I was always under the impression that when they
Speaker 1: go under the hood, we'll say right, and they're looking
Speaker 1: at one play. If they see another foul in that play,
Speaker 1: they can't call it. No. I think I think that's
Speaker 1: part of the rules, like like, oh, dang, we missed
Speaker 1: him getting smashed in the head there, but we're only
Speaker 1: looking at this other part. It could have called the
Speaker 1: other penalty on the play even if they missed the
Speaker 1: helmet to helmet are in studio. Guests receive a great
