You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to the program. It's hour one on this Wednesday.
We got a busy show. Commissioner Major League Baseball Rob
Manfriend going to stop by the Detroit Lions Pro Bowl
wide receiver. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, Will Robert or
Rio jungle Love as we get ready the NBA season
open last night with the Nixon Celtics, also the Lakers
(00:27):
and the Timberwolves. And he is the quarterback for Army.
Bryce and Daley will join us a little bit later
on as well. Full slate of NBA games coming up tonight.
The big news this morning, about an hour ago, whoa
breaking news. Kansas City Chiefs traded for the Titans wide
receiver DeAndre Hopkins or d hop as they like to
call him. Thirty two years of age, he goes from
(00:51):
maybe the most irrelevant team to the most relevant team
that would make him mister relevant. DeAndre Hopkins. Okay, who's
more excited? DeAndre Hopkins or Patrick Mahomes? I'm thinking DeAndre
Hopkins because Patrick Mahomes is probably already happy. He wakes
up happy. DeAndre Hopkins has to go to practice and
(01:12):
go who's my quarterback? Does it matter who my quarterback is?
Now he's not what he once was. When you get
to be over thirty years of age at that position,
you know, it takes its toll on you. But still
he gives you that underneath wide receiver so he can
be like Travis Kelcey and he still has that ability.
(01:33):
He's not going to beat anybody deep, but he has
that They talk about a the wide radius, you know,
the catching radius that he has, so he's going to
take up space and just like Travis Kelcey Xavier Worthy
over the top, you're going.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
To get Isaiah Pacheco back.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know, the Rashi Rice loss was a big loss
because that's a talented wide receiver. But Kansas City that
This is why I say Kansas City's coaching staff, you
can even bring the GM they're your MVPs because nobody
has stood out with the Chiefs this year. Where you
go like, we're trying to shoehorn Mahomes in there for MVP,
(02:10):
but he shouldn't be in there. He shouldn't be in
the top five. Right now they are undefeated. But if
we're talking about performance, there are other players who are
more important. Right now or have been playing better. I
don't think that matters to Mahomes. Those days of getting
fifty touchdown passes forty five touchdown passes, those are long gone.
It feels like now it's managing a game, good defense,
(02:33):
the right people, and Kansas City has done a wonderful job.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Like that was sneaky. That was sneaky. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I came in on Monday morning and well, let me
get through the other stuff. Good morning if you're watching
on Peacock, our streaming partner, and download the app if
you haven't done so. Stat of the Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Also our radio affiliates around the country. Thank you for
listening and supporting those great radio stations. IHEARTRATEDO Fox Sports
(03:00):
Radio Play the day, poll question stat of the Day.
Tyler is sitting by to take your phone calls at
each seven to seven three DP show who is traded next?
Because there are a lot of teams that could use
another wide receiver, the Niners, the Chargers, the Steelers, Buffalo,
maybe Tampa. I came in Monday morning. I had a
(03:24):
conversation with somebody, a source. On Sunday and I was
reaching out because I had heard through another source maybe
Matthew Stafford would be available if the Rams lost this
Thursday night. So I said, Hey, Matthew Stafford available, And
then I was told no, but Cooper Cup is So
(03:44):
I didn't and I was told that I can't go
on the air and even hint about it. And now
the news has come out that Cooper Cup could be available,
and so I wanted to know through my source. I said,
would the Rams trade him in the division to the
forty nine? And said, well, you might get more from
the forty nine Ers than you would from some of
(04:05):
these other teams. Tampa lost Mike Evans, Chris Godwin. Evans
has banged up god went out for the year dislocated ankle.
The Steelers could certainly use Cooper Cup. The Chargers have
no offensive weapons. Could they trade for him and just
keep him in Los Angeles? But the Rams play Thursday night.
(04:26):
They got a game against the Vikings, and I was
told if the Rams lose that game, now, they didn't
rule out trading Cooper Cup before then, but if you
dropped to two and five after Thursday Night's loss, now
you're selling. Now I'm paraphrasing this, but that was the
(04:48):
That was the feel of the conversation I had that
Cooper Cup was going to be available because I had heard, hey,
don't rule out Matthew Stafford. And I'm thinking this is
this is Matt's life last year, and he's probably saying, Look,
I want to stay here. I don't want to move
my team, my family. I want to stay with this
team in Los Angeles. I know I'm going to the
Hall of Fame. Maybe this is the last year. Well,
(05:12):
you're seeing the window of opportunity. It feels like in
the NFL is wide open. Now we can say Detroit,
they're the team to beat in the NFC. Okay, in
the AFC, you can say Kansas City. But it does
feel like Kansas City is more vulnerable this year, even
though they're undefeated, because they've lost, they don't have that firepower.
They still have the best quarterback in the game, you
(05:34):
have a really good defense, you have a great play caller,
you have a great defensive coordinator. But it feels like
there are teams that are in position to you never know. Now,
I don't know if Tampa is going to go after
a wide receiver. They could certainly use one or two.
The Steelers certainly could as well. You throw in the
Chargers do they do anything? But what are they worth you?
(05:57):
DeAndre Hopkins went for a fourth round pick. Conditional fourth
round pick. I believe what's Cooper Cup going to go
for if he's available now? He's been banged up there.
But that's just some of the backdrop here leading up
to this week, this Thursday night, and then you got
the trade deadline on November fifth. There are going to
be more players that are going to be on the
(06:18):
move here. The question is who's buying and who's selling?
All Right, pole question, Seaton, what do we have for
the first hour?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Well, we could start off with something positive. Actually I
got two positive things right now. Okay, who's having a
better year? I'm in Ross Saint Brown, Rob Manford, Bryson
Halio or I'll throw in Big Shop Pop too. I
really know what he's got going on. But it's another
year waking up with the nickname Big Shop Bob, and
that's pretty great.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Let me mention this. Diana Russini said the Rams and
Chiefs did discuss Cooper Cup, but the Super Bowl champs
needed to trade with a team that was willing to
take on a large chunk of the salary, didn't want
to give up high picks Tennessee as the team will
to play ball. Okay, so that's from Diana Verssini. So
there have been discussions already with Cooper cup I'm not
(07:06):
going to be surprised if he has dealt So the.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Pole question, well we have who's having a better year.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
We could also put it there, how much does how
much better does DeAndre Hopkins make the Chiefs?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Kind of significantly? No real change, I think kind of.
I think I don't think significant, but I think kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He might have, you know, a game in the playoffs
where he has two catches, but they're two really important catches.
That's the feeling I get with him and what he's able.
I mean, he's he's a guy who gets possessions. You know,
it's not like he's breaking you know, seventy yard touchdowns.
(07:49):
But it feels like, let's just move the change. And
that's what the Chiefs have become. Moved the change, Just
move the change. Defense is really good, be opportunistic, and
they've certainly done that this year. Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Hopkins is one of those guys that while he may
not catch thirteen balls in Week eight, he might catch
a huge one in January. In February reminds me of
when Tampa got Gronk and he was bubble wrapped during
the regular season, like he played, don't play, we don't care,
we need you in January February for third and nine.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It feels like the Chiefs have a couple of those guys,
because that's what Travis Kelcey is. Travis Kelcey is kind
of that, Hey, we need you to be there for
big games here, we need you to be there in
the postseason. And DeAndre Hopkins now he finally has a
quarterback who's really good to throw him the football. But
that opportunity and that happened about an hour earlier this morning.
(08:41):
Lebron and Bronni got to play together. Last night. Lakers
got the win. You know, this is the way the
headline is probably going to raid. It's Lebron and his
son playing Lakers beat Minnesota. Anthony Davis was awesome. And oh,
by the way, it was JJ Reddick's coaching debut. I
only had to watch one quarter and I already saw
(09:04):
more coaching involvement with JJ Reddick than I saw the
first month. I think with Darvin Ham, he has a rotation,
he has an idea, not afraid to call time out,
like just small things. And I thought, the Lakers, you
want to have a perfect night. I mean, Ronnie didn't score,
but Lebron got his moment. It was a cool moment.
(09:29):
I know that people just have this, you know, Lebron's
polarizing to people, not to me. I mean, I just
I appreciate what I'm seeing and the fact that your
son can play with you. I thought it was a
great moment. It's not the end of the world where oh,
you shouldn't be on the roster. I hope he goes
to the G League. Maybe they'll bring him up again
(09:50):
Christmas time. Let him have cameos here. He's not going
to be in the rotation. He's the last guy on
the bench. Dalton connected is the guy to keep an
eye on, the guy who can help them this year,
and he might be their best shooter. That's what I'm
looking for. But Bronnie got his chance to play and
it was a nice night. They got the win. I
(10:10):
watched the Nickson Celtics. That was wow. It's early It's
only one game, but that's one of those games where
you go, who's going to beat Boston, Who's going to
beat them? The only thing that it feels like if
they get complacent or they have injuries. If you have
an injury to Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown, Porzingis is
(10:34):
out until December.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
But I mean they shoot.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They average fifty three point attempts fifty and they're really
good at three pointers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
They just blew them out.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It was like, Hey, we're going to raise the banner
and then we're gonna put these guys away early and
then we'll just see if we can set the all
time NBA record for three pointers made and get booed
by the home crowd when we don't bring them.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yes, PAULI, if I'm a Celtics fan, I want to
thank Steve Kerr for pissing off Jason Tatum because whatever
happened to the Olympics, I don't know, but Jason Tatum
looked like, look like it was a Game seven in
the first half.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, and you know what, I would have thought that
he would be the MVP, the odds on favorite. That's
who I would pick when we come back I'll tell
you who DraftKings has as the favorite. Jason Tatum right
now is fourth on that list, and I'm surprised at
that because that team's going to be great. He's going
to be great. He's already proven he can win a championship,
so I would be really surprised if he's not the
(11:33):
MVP this year. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, the Lions
Pro Bowl wide receiver, joins us next year Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
One of our favorite players. I'm on Ross Saint Brown,
the Lions wide receiver, former USC wide out, joining us
on the program. Did you hear about the trade this
morning with DeAndre Hopkins?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I heard about it, and I was eating eating breakfast
this morning, looked at my phone and saw it, So
I guess won't guess we won't be going against DeAndre
Hopkins this week. Crazy news, But I mean I feel
like it's kind of been that way this year all year.
A lot of a lot of crazy news, especially at
the receiver position.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean the value of that. I think Cooper
cub could be traded. You know, Mike Evans got hurt,
Chris god went out for the year.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How difficult is it to stay healthy at that position?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I think I don't think it's the hardest position to
stay healthy at.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
But you know, it's football at the end of the day,
and you get in so many different positions, different angles
throughout the game, different catches that you make. You never
know what can happen throughout a football game. So it
really just depends, you know. I feel like a lot
of it has to do with luck, but yeah, you
gotta I feel like you got to train, you gotta,
you know, kind of callous here about for certain things.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But at the end of the day, there's some injuries
that you just can't prevent.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
But also you have a coach who's a tough guy.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So are there times where you go, I can't say
that I'm hurt, or like you can't tell coach Campbell,
hey can I come out of the game or take
me out of the game.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Yeah, I think it really depends on what you have
going on. But something serious, you definitely got to come
out or you will come out. But there's you know,
if you get a contusion, small things like that rolled
ankle or nothing. Two serious. I mean most guys on
our team, I think most guys in the league are
going to keep playing just because of the competitors that
we are. But like I said, it depends on the injury.
But I just want to let you know that everyone
(13:37):
here had the lines locker room is thinking about your
shoulder revery that you can come back and make it
in time.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Every day is a super Bowl for me, Like I
could play for Coach Campbell, Like I'll be out there.
I mean, I'll tape it up even though I got stitches,
like I'll play hurt.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah okay, yeah, just gonna let you know I'm not soft.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
The story that you'll tell your grandkids about Coach Campbell
as what.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I mean, there's so many, so many stories I feel
like for me. I mean, every day he has a
different story, something else that he's telling us.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Are there a lot of stories you can't tell on
the air.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
I wouldn't say there's not really, Okay, yeah, a lot
of them are. Really. You know he's a character though, man,
Yeah he is. He's awesome. I feel like us as players.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
You know, we really we respect him as a coach
so much because he's the same guy every day. He
brings the same energy whether we win, lose, draw, whatever
it is, he's the same coach. Anybody knows how to
get us going, whether it's you know, long day of work,
Wednesday practice, long day of practice, we got pads on.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
No one wants to have pads on.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
He's gonna make it fun, he's gonna make it good,
and he's gonna make his compete at the end of
the day.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You're supposed to learn from your losses, certainly in the postseason.
What did you learn last year from that loss?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Yeah, I think for us as a team, we learned
a lot last year. You know, obviously it was a
big year for us. We went we went pretty far.
Obviously we wanted to go to the Super Bowl and
win it, but we fell short. And I think going
into this year, the biggest thing for us was we
just got to do more. Whatever we did last year,
it wasn't enough. We got to do more in every
you know, every facet, whether it's in the weight room
and the meeting room, out on the field and the
(15:22):
training room, whatever it is. Players, coaches, everyone, We all
have to do more because if we don't, we expect
different results. I mean that's kind of crazy. So we
got to do more, and we got to be better
than we were last year.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's I'm on Ron Saint Brown, the Lions wide receiver.
What was that like? It's almost like I wish halftime
didn't happen in that game because you guys had so
much momentum. It's like you went into halftime in a
different team or two different teams came out of that
locker room.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Yeah, it was like a tall two sides. I feel like,
you know, we first half, everything went right. Second half,
I feel like everything went wrong. I remember going into
the you know, going into the locker room at halftime,
feeling like, you know, were a half away from going
to Super Bowl. I feel like we're going. We just
got to continue what we've been doing the first half,
don't mess it up. And I feel like as we
came out that second half, they did everything right and
(16:10):
we did everything wrong. And you know, that's how this
game is to game inches and they just made you know,
a few more plays in us at the end.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Of the game.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Who was your idol growing up playing wide receiver.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
So my idol growing up, I didn't play receiver, you know,
growing up as a kid, I played running back for
most of my you know, childhood until I got to
high school.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
But my auto was Kobe Bryant. I love Kobe. That
was my guy.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
You know, his mentality, his mindset, his the way he
went about the game was something that I really admired.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Did you meet him when you were at USC So?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I never met Kobe.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
I went to the to the parade when they won
the finals. I believe it was like an eight went
to the parade, but I never got to shake Kobe's hand.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Wait, how old were you when you was.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
At the parade? I was about eight years old. I
was born in so eight years old.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
That had to be a big moment. What did you
get to skip school that day?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I did? Yeah, it was awesome. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Did you watch the Lakers last night with Lebron and Bronni?
Speaker 6 (17:11):
No, you know, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Actually, I was busy doing my own podcast, doing my
own thing, and had to get the better early to
be up in the morning.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
But I saw I saw some of the highlights this morning.
I saw Bronn checking in.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I mean, I think that whole, the whole deal with
him and Lebron is it's something that you just can't replace.
I mean, it's a time in history. You know, one
of the best players ever played, his son is playing
with him. They got the dub. I think it was
an amazing time for sports in general.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
But can you take that Mamba mentality and play football
that way?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I think so for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
I think you can apply his his mentality in any
sport and anything in life. It doesn't even have to
be sports. It can be you know, you want to
be a pilot, you want to be a teacher, or
whatever it is. You can apply his mentality to try
to be the best, you know, version of yourself for
you know, that particular job that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He called me the White Mamba, but yes he did. Okay,
I think I think it's a positive. He signed his
All Star jersey to the White Mamba, and I'm like,
all right, you know I can at my age, I
can still take on that Mamba mentality if I need to.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Like, yeah, of course you can. Alth you got to
take it on now.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, once again, but thank you for the prayers. I
appreciate that. But I'm I'm going to be able to play,
all right, you have a meeting in four minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
If you're late, what happens?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
I get fined? So you got to pay it.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
How much is it.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I've never gotten fined, so I'm not sure, but I
know it's a pretty hefty amount.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, But if Goff walks in late, he's getting fined too.
It doesn't matter, don't matter who you are.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Oh man, you know I would like for you to
be one minute late, and I'd be willing to pay
the fine.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Really, yeah, what's it going to cost me? Five hundred?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Probably like five thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
No, it's not costing five thousand thousand.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
You want do that? Let me know.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know coach before or he was your head coach,
So okay, I got stories.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You can talk to him talk him out of finding me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hey, great to have you on and good luck against
the Titans. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Appreciate it, Dan, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's I'm on.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ross Saint Brown, Lions wide receiver, one of our favorite
players to watch. He's got a future, got a future
in the business, as they like to say, good looking guy.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This first hour brought to you by the Great folks
at tire rack dot com. It's the way tire buying
should be. The official tire expert of the DP show.
Go to tire rack dot com. Slash Dan tried the
Tire Decision Guide full lineup of Hankook Tires special offers,
free road hazard protection and mobile tire installation. Tyrerec dot com.
The Way tire Buying should be. Yeah, I had to
(19:45):
ask him about DeAndre Hopkins, you know, just with the position.
But they play the Titans coming up this weekend. So
he's like, well, I guess we'll meet the Titans without
DeAndre Hopkins. Yes, they won against the Vikings. He had
eight catches and a touchdown. So talented player and uh,
you know, fun seating. You watched the Receiver documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Oh yeah that was awesome. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He kind of jumps off the screen at you. A
lot of a lot of chrismas. Now, he had a
brother played at Notre Dame, a brother played at Stanford
as well, and then he played at USC. I think
he set the NC double a record. I think he
still has this. He scored four touchdowns. He had four
touchdown receptions in one quarter. I think against was Washington State.
(20:34):
That'd be tough to break, that'd be tough to beat.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, Paul, his full name is Amanra with a hyphen Amonra,
Julian Hero John Saint Brown, that's his full name. Wouldn't
it be great if he put the whole thing on
New Jersey, Like he had to go to the bottom.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
It'd have to be it be circular, it go around
his number.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
He's I was just thinking about this. He's probably the
third or fourth NFL player we've had on And you said,
who did you admire growing up? And they said co Brant.
I think Dak Prescott said it to us. And a
couple of years ago, some defensive back like he Kobe
transcended his sport of basketball.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, that mamba mentality, I think, and that just attack, attack,
And I don't know if you can play football that way.
Certain positions you probably can, Like Troy Polamalu was sort
of that mamba mentality of attack always. But as a
wide receiver, you know, how can you attack every single play?
(21:30):
A defensive player like Lawrence Taylor attacked, you know, before
mamba mentality, there was Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah, Like my son wasn't old enough to watch Kobe play.
But he but Kobe Bryant is a constant presence in
his life just because of everything he did post playing career. Yeah,
all the interviews that he did, all the talks he
would do like Ted talks. He would do, all of
this stuff just about his life and the Mamba mentality
and how you go about life and all of these
(21:59):
different things. Be ten times a day comes across my
son's like social media feed about something Kobe said or did.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He had this unwavering desire to consume everything. He just
he wanted to know everything. And in business, I think
that's where he was truly fascinated with how to do that,
be around these people, reading books about these people. Winning
an Academy award, we had him on I think the
day or day after, two days after, and he goes,
(22:27):
I know you're probably saying, Dan, what am I doing
when an Academy award? I'm thinking the same thing. But
we had we had him on so many different times,
and I always appreciated because I wanted to tap into
a dad with girls and how you can teach them
to be like he was on the basketball floor, to
(22:47):
be aggressive and take no prisoners and want to be great,
like he was taking the delicate part of that out
of the equation. It's like, no, it's basketball and you
play and we're playing to I want to be there.
I want to coach. I want to be involved in this.
And you know, being the father of three daughters, just
how you coach them, how you teach them, and that's
(23:10):
you know. I always got something from that because I
think he loved talking about all of his daughters there.
I can't overstate the importance the impact that Fernando Valenzuela
had on baseball, especially in the year nineteen eighty one
and he passed away yesterday, great Dodger. He won the
(23:31):
Cy Young, won the Rookie of the Year, and you
just go back and look at the numbers and they're
they're so impressive with what he did. You know, he
was he was starting games, he was twenty years of age,
and he was completing games. His rookie year, he had
eight shutouts, he had complete games, had eleven in nineteen
(23:55):
eighty one. But he would start games, finish games, and
he had a screwball that I mean, he was shutting
everybody out. And there was Fernando Mania. And I remember
watching on the nightly news. That Sports Nightly News did
(24:15):
a feature on Fernando Mania. And he came from a
family I think twelve kids, came from Mexico. I think
he grew up in the town where the drug cartel
leader El Chopo is from. But made it to you know,
the United States, the Dodgers. He was supposed to be
the fifth maybe pitcher on the roster, starting pitcher. He
(24:37):
was a relief pitcher, and then all of a sudden,
Tommy put him in in the rotation and it was
just amazing. It was it was an event to be
able to now we didn't have, you know, cable the
way we have it now to be able to see him.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
So you saw highlights.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And there have been a few pitchers who have had
that impact where it was like Mark Fidrich with the
Tiger nineteen seventy six and he was on the cover
Sports Illustrated with Big Bird. That was his nickname, Mark
the Bird Fiedrich, you looked like Big Bird from Sesame Street.
But you have these players where it's just different. And
what Fernando did for the city of Los Angeles, for
(25:18):
Mexico baseball fans in Mexico and they're seeing one of
their own at Dodgers Stadium and he's twenty years of
age and he's dominating.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I think proximity played a large role in this.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now, if he had done this in San Diego, probably
the same kind of impact, not in Seattle or Chicago.
It was the Los Angeles Dodgers and the impact that
he had, and he worked for the Dodgers for many
years as a broadcaster. But passing away yesterday and here
we have the Dodgers in the World Series with the
(25:52):
Yankees opening up on Friday. And we've talked about this
before where Francoharris died a couple of days I think
before they were going to pay tribute to the Pittsburgh
Steelers and frank Oherris the immaculate reception, and he passed
away a couple of days before, so he got his flowers,
(26:13):
he had all of the shows that talked about this.
In fact, probably got even more coverage because of that,
and I hope Fernando gets that coverage, whether it's today
or tomorrow or Friday. Before the game, maybe the Dodgers
wear a patch with his number thirty four on it,
but to let people know because that part of my job,
(26:35):
I feel like, is to let you know about somebody
that maybe you read about you didn't get to see,
but I got to see them, maybe got to interview them,
to let you know what impact they had on me,
or that I was there to speak to them. I
never met Fernando, but I do know what that feeling
was like when you're watching him and he looked to
(26:56):
the sky.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You know, he'd have his eyes shut.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He was pitching, when he's ready to deliver, he's looking
up and you know, people thought, well, what's he getting?
Is he breathing through his eyelids? You know, it was
just kind of crazy. There you're going, he's not even
looking at the strike zone but passing away. And I
couldn't help but think he just seemed like he was
so calm at age twenty and he's on the mound
(27:23):
for the Dodgers. But he looked comfortable. The hitters didn't
look comfortable. But he was phenomenal, phenomenal that first year,
a few years, and then he bounced around a little bit.
I think he ended up with one hundred and seventy
five wins. But you talk about a contribution to the game, now,
he's not going to get into the Hall of Fame
just because his numbers with other pitchers they don't stack up,
(27:47):
but contributions to the game and the impact that he
had on Mexico and Los Angeles as well. But I
hope he, you know, he gets that opportunit or we
get that opportunity to be able to share that with
people that Fernando Valenzuela, and I think he was just
sixty three years of age, so did want to bring
(28:09):
that up, the importance that he had to baseball. And
here we are close to the start of the World
Series Seeton.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
What's poll question. We're going to go with first hour
if you can.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
We've actually got several up there already. Okay, some you
haven't even heard yet. Oh okay, Yeah, we got one
here from Todd Oh, from the mind of Todd Fritz.
Biggest Mania in sports history, Fernando Mania, Hulkmania, Tibomania, WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Biggest mania in sports history.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, in case you're wondering, Trailing fifteen to nothing with
five twenty three to go in twenty eleven, Tim Tebow
leads the Broncos to two touchdowns forces overtime, gets a
fifty two yard field goal from Matt Prater to beat
the Dolphins. T BO time, Yeah, eighteen to fifteen. I
(29:06):
always argued that we wouldn't need t bow time if
he did his job prior to t bow time.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Twenty to ten early in the fourth Quarterman, it was
like a t BO time.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I said, well, maybe complete a couple passes prior to
the last five minutes when you need t bow time. Hulkamania, Tbomania,
Fernando Mania, wrestlem WrestleMania.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Very similar to Hulkamania. They kind of cancel each other
out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I'd admit, well, I'm gonna say WrestleMania because that's I mean,
that's a billion billions dollar industry there.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Right now, Hulkamania is leading thirty seven percent of the vote,
followed closely by WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Fernando Mania is in third.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Unfortunately, so Hulkamania came just a couple of years after
Fernando Mania. Yeah, because I'm in New York and we're
across from Madison Square Garden and the wrestlers were in
town and we had Hulk come in to CNN five
pen Plaza.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He came up and he's and he's acting.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Like Hulk running around the CNN newsroom, and it was
it was chaos. How people were like, oh my god,
like Hulk came, It didn't matter. I don't care who
you brought in. They were not going to trump what
we saw with Hulk. When Hulk is walking around, you
could have brought in anybody you wanted to, and Hulk
(30:32):
had everybody's attention. It was crazy, crazy Hulk mania.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Yes, people are asking, and Todd actually put this on
the poll question why Linsanity is not on there? And
that's a mania, that's a sanity, not a mania, so
we're not including sanities in here.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Linsanity was I mean, that was ridiculous. That was three weeks.
That was ever And I remember you're starting your team
with right now, Kobe?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Is that Jeremy Lynn? You don't know anything about basketball?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What that was was the most ridiculous three while it
was wild. And the fact that I had a source
who said Carmelo is the one who is not enjoying
this because he's like, this is my team, not his team.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But for those three weeks, Linsanity, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Paul and Linsanity and Tibomania crossed over twenty eleven, twenty
twelve we did a pole question. I just found it.
It was at the tail end of lin Sanity Week three.
Which future would you invest in? Tim Tebow or Jeremy Lynn?
That was our poll question on the show one What
a wild time?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well who won that?
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Lynn has had a longer en an NBA career than Tebo.
Then Tbo's in the NFL. I think t Bo only played.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, but then became a broadcast. I don't know what
he's doing now. Is he still working like the SEC Network.
He did a lot of stuff for the Mother Show.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
He was on Game Day a lot last year. I
haven't seen him much this year.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
But Linsanity was playing in China. He might still be
playing in China. Is he playing against Jim or four
dead over there? He was.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Jeremy Lynn in the NBA made sixty five million dollars
and went to China.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Well that's a lot more than Tebow mate, Yes, but
Tebo at Florida made more than.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
That.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Nil now would be crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Can you imagine Tebow and I old Although he might
not take it, he might say, you know what, I'm
gonna give it to charity or his parents. Weren't they
missionaries that they went to the Philippines and they were
doing circumcisions, and they.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Seem to have a problem except in cash. Now, I
don't know. I mean, he didn't seem to have a problem. Say,
you know, I don't think I want all this money?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, okay, Well no, when he was in college, he
might not have accepted that.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Oh yeah, a little more pure. Yeah, the urban Meyer
in Florida, he was the one guy. If he was
the guy who was doing it credit. Of course he
wouldn't have accepted that. No, he would not.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
All right, let me take a break. We're just getting started. Uh,
just getting started. We'll get to your phone calls coming up.
We settle on our pole question the commissioner, you know,
the commissioner of Major League.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Baseball is having a good year.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
If he's available to come on the show, because normally
when we have him on, it's like what about these
crappy uniforms that these guys got this year? Or what
about this? And complaining about you know, the baseballs. He's
had a really good year and should take a victory.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Why are these games taking four hours? You might want
to try to speed to that.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
All right, we'll get him down to three hours. Robert
Orry will join us coming up a little bit later
on as well. Let's take a break. We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Wapp Oh my God. The play of the day. Where's God?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
This is Tilman against the smaller McBride. They feed it
out to the opposite corner. Three parters.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Good.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Al Horford and the Celtics have tied the NBA record
twenty nine triples in a game. That's courtesy of ESPN
Radio Al Horford, Hall of Famer, of all the highlights,
we could play Al Horford.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Celtics tied the NBA record of twenty nine made three pointers.
They tied the Bucks against the Miami Heat in twenty twenty.
Then they missed their next thirteen three pointers and the
crowd at the Garden started to boo.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's opening night.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
They get their rings, they raised the banner and then
I didn't think that they would get booed last night
the way they played, but they did.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
It was a playful boo.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I think, Oh my little boo here is Lebron James
on the big night as the Lakers get to win.
But more importantly for Lebron, he got to be on
the floor with his son.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
I mean, obviously, you know a mission number one was
for us to come out and play well and win.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
I don't think, no, I don't. It's my first win
open a night as a Laker, so I wanted to
get that, get that done. And I think as a
team we came and played, you know, as close for
forty eight minutes to a complete game as we've played.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
In a while.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
So that was great.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
The game within the game obviously, that moment that's being
at discoorse table together and checking in together, something I
would never forget, no matter how I get, I would
never forget that moment.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It was fun to see hottest rookie's, biggest superstars, the
all time Great's the only place to collect them all.
Pinnity Trading Cards, the official trading cards for the Dan
Patrick Show. I mentioned this a little while ago. Odds
on odds to win the NBA MVP. I was a
little surprised at this because if I'm going to factor
in well, Jason Tatum, we're not going to give you
the MVP until we see you do something in the postseason.
(36:11):
They held this against Joker, and then Joker won the title,
and now he can win an mvpig Jannis, you know
he's won a title.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Joe Ellenbiid.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
They're still waiting for Joe ellenbid to kind of finish
the paragraph there. You're an MVP, now do something in
the playoffs. But we already have seen this from Jason Tatum.
He's played at a very high level. They won the
NBA title. But Luca is the odds on favor to
be the NBA MVP. Shay Gilgess, Alexander is second. Then
(36:43):
it's Joker, Jason Tatum, and Yannis. But Luca's going to
put up incredible numbers. I just don't know how good
that team is. Now you have Klay Thompson in there
as well. You got Kyrie Irving, so they do have
that possibility of being a dangerous team. Shay Gilgiess, Oklahoma
(37:05):
City is a really good team, and he's going to
continue to put up thirty a night. Joker. I don't
I think Denver takes a step back. I don't think
they're don't I don't look at them as an NBA
title challenger right now, and then you got Giannis after
Jason Tatum. But watching last night, I mean, Tatum is
(37:25):
at times makes it look as easy as anybody in
the game. There are times when Joker makes it look
like playfully easy.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
There's certain players where you go.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's too easy for them or the appearance, And there
are times when Jason Tatum, Now, there are times when
I go, I don't think he knows how to dribble,
or he can't go to his left, like there are
just certain things, and then you see him pulling up
for three and he can be I don't think he
knows how great he can be. I think it's just
(37:57):
like kind of taking that step next app whereas he
could be an all time great. But I think that's
he's got to kind of vary what he does. Develop
some things. Every great player added something you know at
certain you know, incrementally you add something you know. Magic
(38:18):
became a dangerous out outside shooter. Jordan went down on
the blocks. You just you have to evolve because they're
at certain points you're going to run into defenses or
players who are better than you are more athletic than
you and you have to take advantage of them by
doing other things. I want to see that with Tatum.
I want to see the evolution of him.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
Yes, Mark Oh, I think you're going to see it
because him watching Lebron and Katie and Stephan the Olympics,
as you just said on the bench, I think it
just motivated him and Jaylen Brown for not even making
the Olympic team. So I think those guys are coming
out sixty eight sixty nine wins this year. WHOA, Okay,
they brought everyone back.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I know Zingis is out for a little while, but
if they do that, and then he should be he
should be the MVP. Gus in La, Hi, Gus, welcome back.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Good morning, mister Patrick. I hope the recovery is going well.
All right. So last night, you know, the city of
La kind of had a weird juxtaposition for a moment,
you know, watching the Lakers, We're like, who the hell
is this team? We all had the Wolves winning another
opening night loss, and we're all happy, we're all surprised,
(39:30):
and then we all get the news of Fernando. Now
I understand that the rest of the world, the rest
of the baseball world and the rest of the country
may not understand what kind of significance the loss of
Fernando Valezuela has upon all of us here in La today.
But you know, in nineteen eighty one, not to give
a history lesson, but race relations at that time were
(39:53):
at an all time boiling point between the Latino community
and the city, and for the most part, community did
not like the Dodger organization at all, based upon the
ugly history of how Dodger Stadium became to be. And
in nineteen eighty one, there's a twenty year old kid
(40:15):
just grabbing a ball going out for Opening Day and
started as you, as Holly pointed out in the opener,
he was a phenomenon. That is the true definition of it.
And he quieted a lot of issues around the city.
And he brought a whole generation of new fans into
(40:37):
the Dodger family and wiped out seemingly overnight, a lot
of hatreot, a lot of issues.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
And I think those are great points, Gus. I'm up
against a break that was well said. He brought together
an entire city. It felt like our two on the
way
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to the program. It's hour one on this Wednesday.
We got a busy show. Commissioner Major League Baseball Rob
Manfriend going to stop by the Detroit Lions Pro Bowl
wide receiver. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, Will Robert or
Rio jungle Love as we get ready the NBA season
open last night with the Nixon Celtics, also the Lakers
(00:27):
and the Timberwolves. And he is the quarterback for Army.
Bryce and Daley will join us a little bit later
on as well. Full slate of NBA games coming up tonight.
The big news this morning, about an hour ago, whoa
breaking news. Kansas City Chiefs traded for the Titans wide
receiver DeAndre Hopkins or d hop as they like to
call him. Thirty two years of age, he goes from
(00:51):
maybe the most irrelevant team to the most relevant team
that would make him mister relevant. DeAndre Hopkins. Okay, who's
more excited? DeAndre Hopkins or Patrick Mahomes? I'm thinking DeAndre
Hopkins because Patrick Mahomes is probably already happy. He wakes
up happy. DeAndre Hopkins has to go to practice and
(01:12):
go who's my quarterback? Does it matter who my quarterback is?
Now he's not what he once was. When you get
to be over thirty years of age at that position,
you know, it takes its toll on you. But still
he gives you that underneath wide receiver so he can
be like Travis Kelcey and he still has that ability.
(01:33):
He's not going to beat anybody deep, but he has
that They talk about a the wide radius, you know,
the catching radius that he has, so he's going to
take up space and just like Travis Kelcey Xavier Worthy
over the top, you're going.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
To get Isaiah Pacheco back.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know, the Rashi Rice loss was a big loss
because that's a talented wide receiver. But Kansas City that
This is why I say Kansas City's coaching staff, you
can even bring the GM they're your MVPs because nobody
has stood out with the Chiefs this year. Where you
go like, we're trying to shoehorn Mahomes in there for MVP,
(02:10):
but he shouldn't be in there. He shouldn't be in
the top five. Right now they are undefeated. But if
we're talking about performance, there are other players who are
more important. Right now or have been playing better. I
don't think that matters to Mahomes. Those days of getting
fifty touchdown passes forty five touchdown passes, those are long gone.
It feels like now it's managing a game, good defense,
(02:33):
the right people, and Kansas City has done a wonderful job.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Like that was sneaky. That was sneaky. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I came in on Monday morning and well, let me
get through the other stuff. Good morning if you're watching
on Peacock, our streaming partner, and download the app if
you haven't done so. Stat of the Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Also our radio affiliates around the country. Thank you for
listening and supporting those great radio stations. IHEARTRATEDO Fox Sports
(03:00):
Radio Play the day, poll question stat of the Day.
Tyler is sitting by to take your phone calls at
each seven to seven three DP show who is traded next?
Because there are a lot of teams that could use
another wide receiver, the Niners, the Chargers, the Steelers, Buffalo,
maybe Tampa. I came in Monday morning. I had a
(03:24):
conversation with somebody, a source. On Sunday and I was
reaching out because I had heard through another source maybe
Matthew Stafford would be available if the Rams lost this
Thursday night. So I said, Hey, Matthew Stafford available, And
then I was told no, but Cooper Cup is So
(03:44):
I didn't and I was told that I can't go
on the air and even hint about it. And now
the news has come out that Cooper Cup could be available,
and so I wanted to know through my source. I said,
would the Rams trade him in the division to the
forty nine? And said, well, you might get more from
the forty nine Ers than you would from some of
(04:05):
these other teams. Tampa lost Mike Evans, Chris Godwin. Evans
has banged up god went out for the year dislocated ankle.
The Steelers could certainly use Cooper Cup. The Chargers have
no offensive weapons. Could they trade for him and just
keep him in Los Angeles? But the Rams play Thursday night.
(04:26):
They got a game against the Vikings, and I was
told if the Rams lose that game, now, they didn't
rule out trading Cooper Cup before then, but if you
dropped to two and five after Thursday Night's loss, now
you're selling. Now I'm paraphrasing this, but that was the
(04:48):
That was the feel of the conversation I had that
Cooper Cup was going to be available because I had heard, hey,
don't rule out Matthew Stafford. And I'm thinking this is
this is Matt's life last year, and he's probably saying, Look,
I want to stay here. I don't want to move
my team, my family. I want to stay with this
team in Los Angeles. I know I'm going to the
Hall of Fame. Maybe this is the last year. Well,
(05:12):
you're seeing the window of opportunity. It feels like in
the NFL is wide open. Now we can say Detroit,
they're the team to beat in the NFC. Okay, in
the AFC, you can say Kansas City. But it does
feel like Kansas City is more vulnerable this year, even
though they're undefeated, because they've lost, they don't have that firepower.
They still have the best quarterback in the game, you
(05:34):
have a really good defense, you have a great play caller,
you have a great defensive coordinator. But it feels like
there are teams that are in position to you never know. Now,
I don't know if Tampa is going to go after
a wide receiver. They could certainly use one or two.
The Steelers certainly could as well. You throw in the
Chargers do they do anything? But what are they worth you?
(05:57):
DeAndre Hopkins went for a fourth round pick. Conditional fourth
round pick. I believe what's Cooper Cup going to go
for if he's available now? He's been banged up there.
But that's just some of the backdrop here leading up
to this week, this Thursday night, and then you got
the trade deadline on November fifth. There are going to
be more players that are going to be on the
(06:18):
move here. The question is who's buying and who's selling?
All Right, pole question, Seaton, what do we have for
the first hour?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Well, we could start off with something positive. Actually I
got two positive things right now. Okay, who's having a
better year? I'm in Ross Saint Brown, Rob Manford, Bryson
Halio or I'll throw in Big Shop Pop too. I
really know what he's got going on. But it's another
year waking up with the nickname Big Shop Bob, and
that's pretty great.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Let me mention this. Diana Russini said the Rams and
Chiefs did discuss Cooper Cup, but the Super Bowl champs
needed to trade with a team that was willing to
take on a large chunk of the salary, didn't want
to give up high picks Tennessee as the team will
to play ball. Okay, so that's from Diana Verssini. So
there have been discussions already with Cooper cup I'm not
(07:06):
going to be surprised if he has dealt So the.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Pole question, well we have who's having a better year.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
We could also put it there, how much does how
much better does DeAndre Hopkins make the Chiefs?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Kind of significantly? No real change, I think kind of.
I think I don't think significant, but I think kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He might have, you know, a game in the playoffs
where he has two catches, but they're two really important catches.
That's the feeling I get with him and what he's able.
I mean, he's he's a guy who gets possessions. You know,
it's not like he's breaking you know, seventy yard touchdowns.
(07:49):
But it feels like, let's just move the change. And
that's what the Chiefs have become. Moved the change, Just
move the change. Defense is really good, be opportunistic, and
they've certainly done that this year. Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Hopkins is one of those guys that while he may
not catch thirteen balls in Week eight, he might catch
a huge one in January. In February reminds me of
when Tampa got Gronk and he was bubble wrapped during
the regular season, like he played, don't play, we don't care,
we need you in January February for third and nine.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It feels like the Chiefs have a couple of those guys,
because that's what Travis Kelcey is. Travis Kelcey is kind
of that, Hey, we need you to be there for
big games here, we need you to be there in
the postseason. And DeAndre Hopkins now he finally has a
quarterback who's really good to throw him the football. But
that opportunity and that happened about an hour earlier this morning.
(08:41):
Lebron and Bronni got to play together. Last night. Lakers
got the win. You know, this is the way the
headline is probably going to raid. It's Lebron and his
son playing Lakers beat Minnesota. Anthony Davis was awesome. And oh,
by the way, it was JJ Reddick's coaching debut. I
only had to watch one quarter and I already saw
(09:04):
more coaching involvement with JJ Reddick than I saw the
first month. I think with Darvin Ham, he has a rotation,
he has an idea, not afraid to call time out,
like just small things. And I thought, the Lakers, you
want to have a perfect night. I mean, Ronnie didn't score,
but Lebron got his moment. It was a cool moment.
(09:29):
I know that people just have this, you know, Lebron's
polarizing to people, not to me. I mean, I just
I appreciate what I'm seeing and the fact that your
son can play with you. I thought it was a
great moment. It's not the end of the world where oh,
you shouldn't be on the roster. I hope he goes
to the G League. Maybe they'll bring him up again
(09:50):
Christmas time. Let him have cameos here. He's not going
to be in the rotation. He's the last guy on
the bench. Dalton connected is the guy to keep an
eye on, the guy who can help them this year,
and he might be their best shooter. That's what I'm
looking for. But Bronnie got his chance to play and
it was a nice night. They got the win. I
(10:10):
watched the Nickson Celtics. That was wow. It's early It's
only one game, but that's one of those games where
you go, who's going to beat Boston, Who's going to
beat them? The only thing that it feels like if
they get complacent or they have injuries. If you have
an injury to Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown, Porzingis is
(10:34):
out until December.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
But I mean they shoot.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They average fifty three point attempts fifty and they're really
good at three pointers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
They just blew them out.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It was like, Hey, we're going to raise the banner
and then we're gonna put these guys away early and
then we'll just see if we can set the all
time NBA record for three pointers made and get booed
by the home crowd when we don't bring them.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yes, PAULI, if I'm a Celtics fan, I want to
thank Steve Kerr for pissing off Jason Tatum because whatever
happened to the Olympics, I don't know, but Jason Tatum
looked like, look like it was a Game seven in
the first half.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, and you know what, I would have thought that
he would be the MVP, the odds on favorite. That's
who I would pick when we come back I'll tell
you who DraftKings has as the favorite. Jason Tatum right
now is fourth on that list, and I'm surprised at
that because that team's going to be great. He's going
to be great. He's already proven he can win a championship,
so I would be really surprised if he's not the
(11:33):
MVP this year. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, the Lions
Pro Bowl wide receiver, joins us next year Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
One of our favorite players. I'm on Ross Saint Brown,
the Lions wide receiver, former USC wide out, joining us
on the program. Did you hear about the trade this
morning with DeAndre Hopkins?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I heard about it, and I was eating eating breakfast
this morning, looked at my phone and saw it, So
I guess won't guess we won't be going against DeAndre
Hopkins this week. Crazy news, But I mean I feel
like it's kind of been that way this year all year.
A lot of a lot of crazy news, especially at
the receiver position.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean the value of that. I think Cooper
cub could be traded. You know, Mike Evans got hurt,
Chris god went out for the year.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How difficult is it to stay healthy at that position?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I think I don't think it's the hardest position to
stay healthy at.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
But you know, it's football at the end of the day,
and you get in so many different positions, different angles
throughout the game, different catches that you make. You never
know what can happen throughout a football game. So it
really just depends, you know. I feel like a lot
of it has to do with luck, but yeah, you
gotta I feel like you got to train, you gotta,
you know, kind of callous here about for certain things.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But at the end of the day, there's some injuries
that you just can't prevent.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
But also you have a coach who's a tough guy.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So are there times where you go, I can't say
that I'm hurt, or like you can't tell coach Campbell,
hey can I come out of the game or take
me out of the game.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Yeah, I think it really depends on what you have
going on. But something serious, you definitely got to come
out or you will come out. But there's you know,
if you get a contusion, small things like that rolled
ankle or nothing. Two serious. I mean most guys on
our team, I think most guys in the league are
going to keep playing just because of the competitors that
we are. But like I said, it depends on the injury.
But I just want to let you know that everyone
(13:37):
here had the lines locker room is thinking about your
shoulder revery that you can come back and make it
in time.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Every day is a super Bowl for me, Like I
could play for Coach Campbell, Like I'll be out there.
I mean, I'll tape it up even though I got stitches,
like I'll play hurt.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah okay, yeah, just gonna let you know I'm not soft.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
The story that you'll tell your grandkids about Coach Campbell
as what.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I mean, there's so many, so many stories I feel
like for me. I mean, every day he has a
different story, something else that he's telling us.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Are there a lot of stories you can't tell on
the air.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
I wouldn't say there's not really, Okay, yeah, a lot
of them are. Really. You know he's a character though, man,
Yeah he is. He's awesome. I feel like us as players.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
You know, we really we respect him as a coach
so much because he's the same guy every day. He
brings the same energy whether we win, lose, draw, whatever
it is, he's the same coach. Anybody knows how to
get us going, whether it's you know, long day of work,
Wednesday practice, long day of practice, we got pads on.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
No one wants to have pads on.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
He's gonna make it fun, he's gonna make it good,
and he's gonna make his compete at the end of
the day.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You're supposed to learn from your losses, certainly in the postseason.
What did you learn last year from that loss?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Yeah, I think for us as a team, we learned
a lot last year. You know, obviously it was a
big year for us. We went we went pretty far.
Obviously we wanted to go to the Super Bowl and
win it, but we fell short. And I think going
into this year, the biggest thing for us was we
just got to do more. Whatever we did last year,
it wasn't enough. We got to do more in every
you know, every facet, whether it's in the weight room
and the meeting room, out on the field and the
(15:22):
training room, whatever it is. Players, coaches, everyone, We all
have to do more because if we don't, we expect
different results. I mean that's kind of crazy. So we
got to do more, and we got to be better
than we were last year.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's I'm on Ron Saint Brown, the Lions wide receiver.
What was that like? It's almost like I wish halftime
didn't happen in that game because you guys had so
much momentum. It's like you went into halftime in a
different team or two different teams came out of that
locker room.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Yeah, it was like a tall two sides. I feel like,
you know, we first half, everything went right. Second half,
I feel like everything went wrong. I remember going into
the you know, going into the locker room at halftime,
feeling like, you know, were a half away from going
to Super Bowl. I feel like we're going. We just
got to continue what we've been doing the first half,
don't mess it up. And I feel like as we
came out that second half, they did everything right and
(16:10):
we did everything wrong. And you know, that's how this
game is to game inches and they just made you know,
a few more plays in us at the end.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Of the game.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Who was your idol growing up playing wide receiver.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
So my idol growing up, I didn't play receiver, you know,
growing up as a kid, I played running back for
most of my you know, childhood until I got to
high school.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
But my auto was Kobe Bryant. I love Kobe. That
was my guy.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
You know, his mentality, his mindset, his the way he
went about the game was something that I really admired.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Did you meet him when you were at USC So?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I never met Kobe.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
I went to the to the parade when they won
the finals. I believe it was like an eight went
to the parade, but I never got to shake Kobe's hand.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Wait, how old were you when you was.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
At the parade? I was about eight years old. I
was born in so eight years old.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
That had to be a big moment. What did you
get to skip school that day?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I did? Yeah, it was awesome. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Did you watch the Lakers last night with Lebron and Bronni?
Speaker 6 (17:11):
No, you know, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Actually, I was busy doing my own podcast, doing my
own thing, and had to get the better early to
be up in the morning.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
But I saw I saw some of the highlights this morning.
I saw Bronn checking in.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I mean, I think that whole, the whole deal with
him and Lebron is it's something that you just can't replace.
I mean, it's a time in history. You know, one
of the best players ever played, his son is playing
with him. They got the dub. I think it was
an amazing time for sports in general.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
But can you take that Mamba mentality and play football
that way?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I think so for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
I think you can apply his his mentality in any
sport and anything in life. It doesn't even have to
be sports. It can be you know, you want to
be a pilot, you want to be a teacher, or
whatever it is. You can apply his mentality to try
to be the best, you know, version of yourself for
you know, that particular job that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He called me the White Mamba, but yes he did. Okay,
I think I think it's a positive. He signed his
All Star jersey to the White Mamba, and I'm like,
all right, you know I can at my age, I
can still take on that Mamba mentality if I need to.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Like, yeah, of course you can. Alth you got to
take it on now.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, once again, but thank you for the prayers. I
appreciate that. But I'm I'm going to be able to play,
all right, you have a meeting in four minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
If you're late, what happens?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
I get fined? So you got to pay it.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
How much is it.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
I've never gotten fined, so I'm not sure, but I
know it's a pretty hefty amount.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, But if Goff walks in late, he's getting fined too.
It doesn't matter, don't matter who you are.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Oh man, you know I would like for you to
be one minute late, and I'd be willing to pay
the fine.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Really, yeah, what's it going to cost me? Five hundred?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Probably like five thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
No, it's not costing five thousand thousand.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
You want do that? Let me know.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I know coach before or he was your head coach,
So okay, I got stories.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You can talk to him talk him out of finding me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hey, great to have you on and good luck against
the Titans. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Appreciate it, Dan, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's I'm on.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ross Saint Brown, Lions wide receiver, one of our favorite
players to watch. He's got a future, got a future
in the business, as they like to say, good looking guy.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This first hour brought to you by the Great folks
at tire rack dot com. It's the way tire buying
should be. The official tire expert of the DP show.
Go to tire rack dot com. Slash Dan tried the
Tire Decision Guide full lineup of Hankook Tires special offers,
free road hazard protection and mobile tire installation. Tyrerec dot com.
The Way tire Buying should be. Yeah, I had to
(19:45):
ask him about DeAndre Hopkins, you know, just with the position.
But they play the Titans coming up this weekend. So
he's like, well, I guess we'll meet the Titans without
DeAndre Hopkins. Yes, they won against the Vikings. He had
eight catches and a touchdown. So talented player and uh,
you know, fun seating. You watched the Receiver documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Oh yeah that was awesome. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He kind of jumps off the screen at you. A
lot of a lot of chrismas. Now, he had a
brother played at Notre Dame, a brother played at Stanford
as well, and then he played at USC. I think
he set the NC double a record. I think he
still has this. He scored four touchdowns. He had four
touchdown receptions in one quarter. I think against was Washington State.
(20:34):
That'd be tough to break, that'd be tough to beat.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, Paul, his full name is Amanra with a hyphen Amonra,
Julian Hero John Saint Brown, that's his full name. Wouldn't
it be great if he put the whole thing on
New Jersey, Like he had to go to the bottom.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
It'd have to be it be circular, it go around
his number.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
He's I was just thinking about this. He's probably the
third or fourth NFL player we've had on And you said,
who did you admire growing up? And they said co Brant.
I think Dak Prescott said it to us. And a
couple of years ago, some defensive back like he Kobe
transcended his sport of basketball.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, that mamba mentality, I think, and that just attack, attack,
And I don't know if you can play football that way.
Certain positions you probably can, Like Troy Polamalu was sort
of that mamba mentality of attack always. But as a
wide receiver, you know, how can you attack every single play?
(21:30):
A defensive player like Lawrence Taylor attacked, you know, before
mamba mentality, there was Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah, Like my son wasn't old enough to watch Kobe play.
But he but Kobe Bryant is a constant presence in
his life just because of everything he did post playing career. Yeah,
all the interviews that he did, all the talks he
would do like Ted talks. He would do, all of
this stuff just about his life and the Mamba mentality
and how you go about life and all of these
(21:59):
different things. Be ten times a day comes across my
son's like social media feed about something Kobe said or did.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
He had this unwavering desire to consume everything. He just
he wanted to know everything. And in business, I think
that's where he was truly fascinated with how to do that,
be around these people, reading books about these people. Winning
an Academy award, we had him on I think the
day or day after, two days after, and he goes,
(22:27):
I know you're probably saying, Dan, what am I doing
when an Academy award? I'm thinking the same thing. But
we had we had him on so many different times,
and I always appreciated because I wanted to tap into
a dad with girls and how you can teach them
to be like he was on the basketball floor, to
(22:47):
be aggressive and take no prisoners and want to be great,
like he was taking the delicate part of that out
of the equation. It's like, no, it's basketball and you
play and we're playing to I want to be there.
I want to coach. I want to be involved in this.
And you know, being the father of three daughters, just
how you coach them, how you teach them, and that's
(23:10):
you know. I always got something from that because I
think he loved talking about all of his daughters there.
I can't overstate the importance the impact that Fernando Valenzuela
had on baseball, especially in the year nineteen eighty one
and he passed away yesterday, great Dodger. He won the
(23:31):
Cy Young, won the Rookie of the Year, and you
just go back and look at the numbers and they're
they're so impressive with what he did. You know, he
was he was starting games, he was twenty years of age,
and he was completing games. His rookie year, he had
eight shutouts, he had complete games, had eleven in nineteen
(23:55):
eighty one. But he would start games, finish games, and
he had a screwball that I mean, he was shutting
everybody out. And there was Fernando Mania. And I remember
watching on the nightly news. That Sports Nightly News did
(24:15):
a feature on Fernando Mania. And he came from a
family I think twelve kids, came from Mexico. I think
he grew up in the town where the drug cartel
leader El Chopo is from. But made it to you know,
the United States, the Dodgers. He was supposed to be
the fifth maybe pitcher on the roster, starting pitcher. He
(24:37):
was a relief pitcher, and then all of a sudden,
Tommy put him in in the rotation and it was
just amazing. It was it was an event to be
able to now we didn't have, you know, cable the
way we have it now to be able to see him.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
So you saw highlights.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And there have been a few pitchers who have had
that impact where it was like Mark Fidrich with the
Tiger nineteen seventy six and he was on the cover
Sports Illustrated with Big Bird. That was his nickname, Mark
the Bird Fiedrich, you looked like Big Bird from Sesame Street.
But you have these players where it's just different. And
what Fernando did for the city of Los Angeles, for
(25:18):
Mexico baseball fans in Mexico and they're seeing one of
their own at Dodgers Stadium and he's twenty years of
age and he's dominating.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I think proximity played a large role in this.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now, if he had done this in San Diego, probably
the same kind of impact, not in Seattle or Chicago.
It was the Los Angeles Dodgers and the impact that
he had, and he worked for the Dodgers for many
years as a broadcaster. But passing away yesterday and here
we have the Dodgers in the World Series with the
(25:52):
Yankees opening up on Friday. And we've talked about this
before where Francoharris died a couple of days I think
before they were going to pay tribute to the Pittsburgh
Steelers and frank Oherris the immaculate reception, and he passed
away a couple of days before, so he got his flowers,
(26:13):
he had all of the shows that talked about this.
In fact, probably got even more coverage because of that,
and I hope Fernando gets that coverage, whether it's today
or tomorrow or Friday. Before the game, maybe the Dodgers
wear a patch with his number thirty four on it,
but to let people know because that part of my job,
(26:35):
I feel like, is to let you know about somebody
that maybe you read about you didn't get to see,
but I got to see them, maybe got to interview them,
to let you know what impact they had on me,
or that I was there to speak to them. I
never met Fernando, but I do know what that feeling
was like when you're watching him and he looked to
(26:56):
the sky.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You know, he'd have his eyes shut.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He was pitching, when he's ready to deliver, he's looking
up and you know, people thought, well, what's he getting?
Is he breathing through his eyelids? You know, it was
just kind of crazy. There you're going, he's not even
looking at the strike zone but passing away. And I
couldn't help but think he just seemed like he was
so calm at age twenty and he's on the mound
(27:23):
for the Dodgers. But he looked comfortable. The hitters didn't
look comfortable. But he was phenomenal, phenomenal that first year,
a few years, and then he bounced around a little bit.
I think he ended up with one hundred and seventy
five wins. But you talk about a contribution to the game, now,
he's not going to get into the Hall of Fame
just because his numbers with other pitchers they don't stack up,
(27:47):
but contributions to the game and the impact that he
had on Mexico and Los Angeles as well. But I
hope he, you know, he gets that opportunit or we
get that opportunity to be able to share that with
people that Fernando Valenzuela, and I think he was just
sixty three years of age, so did want to bring
(28:09):
that up, the importance that he had to baseball. And
here we are close to the start of the World
Series Seeton.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
What's poll question. We're going to go with first hour
if you can.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
We've actually got several up there already. Okay, some you
haven't even heard yet. Oh okay, Yeah, we got one
here from Todd Oh, from the mind of Todd Fritz.
Biggest Mania in sports history, Fernando Mania, Hulkmania, Tibomania, WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Biggest mania in sports history.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, in case you're wondering, Trailing fifteen to nothing with
five twenty three to go in twenty eleven, Tim Tebow
leads the Broncos to two touchdowns forces overtime, gets a
fifty two yard field goal from Matt Prater to beat
the Dolphins. T BO time, Yeah, eighteen to fifteen. I
(29:06):
always argued that we wouldn't need t bow time if
he did his job prior to t bow time.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Twenty to ten early in the fourth Quarterman, it was
like a t BO time.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I said, well, maybe complete a couple passes prior to
the last five minutes when you need t bow time. Hulkamania, Tbomania,
Fernando Mania, wrestlem WrestleMania.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Very similar to Hulkamania. They kind of cancel each other
out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I'd admit, well, I'm gonna say WrestleMania because that's I mean,
that's a billion billions dollar industry there.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Right now, Hulkamania is leading thirty seven percent of the vote,
followed closely by WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Fernando Mania is in third.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Unfortunately, so Hulkamania came just a couple of years after
Fernando Mania. Yeah, because I'm in New York and we're
across from Madison Square Garden and the wrestlers were in
town and we had Hulk come in to CNN five
pen Plaza.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He came up and he's and he's acting.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Like Hulk running around the CNN newsroom, and it was
it was chaos. How people were like, oh my god,
like Hulk came, It didn't matter. I don't care who
you brought in. They were not going to trump what
we saw with Hulk. When Hulk is walking around, you
could have brought in anybody you wanted to, and Hulk
(30:32):
had everybody's attention. It was crazy, crazy Hulk mania.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Yes, people are asking, and Todd actually put this on
the poll question why Linsanity is not on there? And
that's a mania, that's a sanity, not a mania, so
we're not including sanities in here.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Linsanity was I mean, that was ridiculous. That was three weeks.
That was ever And I remember you're starting your team
with right now, Kobe?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Is that Jeremy Lynn? You don't know anything about basketball?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What that was was the most ridiculous three while it
was wild. And the fact that I had a source
who said Carmelo is the one who is not enjoying
this because he's like, this is my team, not his team.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But for those three weeks, Linsanity, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Paul and Linsanity and Tibomania crossed over twenty eleven, twenty
twelve we did a pole question. I just found it.
It was at the tail end of lin Sanity Week three.
Which future would you invest in? Tim Tebow or Jeremy Lynn?
That was our poll question on the show one What
a wild time?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well who won that?
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Lynn has had a longer en an NBA career than Tebo.
Then Tbo's in the NFL. I think t Bo only played.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, but then became a broadcast. I don't know what
he's doing now. Is he still working like the SEC Network.
He did a lot of stuff for the Mother Show.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
He was on Game Day a lot last year. I
haven't seen him much this year.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
But Linsanity was playing in China. He might still be
playing in China. Is he playing against Jim or four
dead over there? He was.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Jeremy Lynn in the NBA made sixty five million dollars
and went to China.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Well that's a lot more than Tebow mate, Yes, but
Tebo at Florida made more than.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
That.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Nil now would be crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Can you imagine Tebow and I old Although he might
not take it, he might say, you know what, I'm
gonna give it to charity or his parents. Weren't they
missionaries that they went to the Philippines and they were
doing circumcisions, and they.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Seem to have a problem except in cash. Now, I
don't know. I mean, he didn't seem to have a problem. Say,
you know, I don't think I want all this money?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, okay, Well no, when he was in college, he
might not have accepted that.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Oh yeah, a little more pure. Yeah, the urban Meyer
in Florida, he was the one guy. If he was
the guy who was doing it credit. Of course he
wouldn't have accepted that. No, he would not.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
All right, let me take a break. We're just getting started. Uh,
just getting started. We'll get to your phone calls coming up.
We settle on our pole question the commissioner, you know,
the commissioner of Major League.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Baseball is having a good year.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
If he's available to come on the show, because normally
when we have him on, it's like what about these
crappy uniforms that these guys got this year? Or what
about this? And complaining about you know, the baseballs. He's
had a really good year and should take a victory.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Why are these games taking four hours? You might want
to try to speed to that.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
All right, we'll get him down to three hours. Robert
Orry will join us coming up a little bit later
on as well. Let's take a break. We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Wapp Oh my God. The play of the day. Where's God?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
This is Tilman against the smaller McBride. They feed it
out to the opposite corner. Three parters.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Good.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Al Horford and the Celtics have tied the NBA record
twenty nine triples in a game. That's courtesy of ESPN
Radio Al Horford, Hall of Famer, of all the highlights,
we could play Al Horford.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Celtics tied the NBA record of twenty nine made three pointers.
They tied the Bucks against the Miami Heat in twenty twenty.
Then they missed their next thirteen three pointers and the
crowd at the Garden started to boo.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's opening night.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
They get their rings, they raised the banner and then
I didn't think that they would get booed last night
the way they played, but they did.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
It was a playful boo.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I think, Oh my little boo here is Lebron James
on the big night as the Lakers get to win.
But more importantly for Lebron, he got to be on
the floor with his son.
Speaker 9 (35:14):
I mean, obviously, you know a mission number one was
for us to come out and play well and win.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
I don't think, no, I don't. It's my first win
open a night as a Laker, so I wanted to
get that, get that done. And I think as a
team we came and played, you know, as close for
forty eight minutes to a complete game as we've played.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
In a while.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
So that was great.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
The game within the game obviously, that moment that's being
at discoorse table together and checking in together, something I
would never forget, no matter how I get, I would
never forget that moment.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It was fun to see hottest rookie's, biggest superstars, the
all time Great's the only place to collect them all.
Pinnity Trading Cards, the official trading cards for the Dan
Patrick Show. I mentioned this a little while ago. Odds
on odds to win the NBA MVP. I was a
little surprised at this because if I'm going to factor
in well, Jason Tatum, we're not going to give you
the MVP until we see you do something in the postseason.
(36:11):
They held this against Joker, and then Joker won the title,
and now he can win an mvpig Jannis, you know
he's won a title.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Joe Ellenbiid.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
They're still waiting for Joe ellenbid to kind of finish
the paragraph there. You're an MVP, now do something in
the playoffs. But we already have seen this from Jason Tatum.
He's played at a very high level. They won the
NBA title. But Luca is the odds on favor to
be the NBA MVP. Shay Gilgess, Alexander is second. Then
(36:43):
it's Joker, Jason Tatum, and Yannis. But Luca's going to
put up incredible numbers. I just don't know how good
that team is. Now you have Klay Thompson in there
as well. You got Kyrie Irving, so they do have
that possibility of being a dangerous team. Shay Gilgiess, Oklahoma
(37:05):
City is a really good team, and he's going to
continue to put up thirty a night. Joker. I don't
I think Denver takes a step back. I don't think
they're don't I don't look at them as an NBA
title challenger right now, and then you got Giannis after
Jason Tatum. But watching last night, I mean, Tatum is
(37:25):
at times makes it look as easy as anybody in
the game. There are times when Joker makes it look
like playfully easy.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
There's certain players where you go.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's too easy for them or the appearance, And there
are times when Jason Tatum, Now, there are times when
I go, I don't think he knows how to dribble,
or he can't go to his left, like there are
just certain things, and then you see him pulling up
for three and he can be I don't think he
knows how great he can be. I think it's just
(37:57):
like kind of taking that step next app whereas he
could be an all time great. But I think that's
he's got to kind of vary what he does. Develop
some things. Every great player added something you know at
certain you know, incrementally you add something you know. Magic
(38:18):
became a dangerous out outside shooter. Jordan went down on
the blocks. You just you have to evolve because they're
at certain points you're going to run into defenses or
players who are better than you are more athletic than
you and you have to take advantage of them by
doing other things. I want to see that with Tatum.
I want to see the evolution of him.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
Yes, Mark Oh, I think you're going to see it
because him watching Lebron and Katie and Stephan the Olympics,
as you just said on the bench, I think it
just motivated him and Jaylen Brown for not even making
the Olympic team. So I think those guys are coming
out sixty eight sixty nine wins this year. WHOA, Okay,
they brought everyone back.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I know Zingis is out for a little while, but
if they do that, and then he should be he
should be the MVP. Gus in La, Hi, Gus, welcome back.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Good morning, mister Patrick. I hope the recovery is going well.
All right. So last night, you know, the city of
La kind of had a weird juxtaposition for a moment,
you know, watching the Lakers, We're like, who the hell
is this team? We all had the Wolves winning another
opening night loss, and we're all happy, we're all surprised,
(39:30):
and then we all get the news of Fernando. Now
I understand that the rest of the world, the rest
of the baseball world and the rest of the country
may not understand what kind of significance the loss of
Fernando Valezuela has upon all of us here in La today.
But you know, in nineteen eighty one, not to give
a history lesson, but race relations at that time were
(39:53):
at an all time boiling point between the Latino community
and the city, and for the most part, community did
not like the Dodger organization at all, based upon the
ugly history of how Dodger Stadium became to be. And
in nineteen eighty one, there's a twenty year old kid
(40:15):
just grabbing a ball going out for Opening Day and
started as you, as Holly pointed out in the opener,
he was a phenomenon. That is the true definition of it.
And he quieted a lot of issues around the city.
And he brought a whole generation of new fans into
(40:37):
the Dodger family and wiped out seemingly overnight, a lot
of hatreot, a lot of issues.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
And I think those are great points, Gus. I'm up
against a break that was well said. He brought together
an entire city. It felt like our two on the
way
