Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our one on this Tuesday, Dan and
the Dan. That's Dan Patrick Show, our starting lineup, the
Minister of Humor, Fritzie Seat and Marv PAULI years truly
did receive a letter from I guess a fan who said,
forty minutes of berating Todd on a certain day, and
(00:21):
you wonder why you don't win a Sports Emmy. Well,
if that's the case, then we're never gonna win a
Sports Emmy, Todd.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's just not in the cards.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
One of these days though, one of these days, it
just it all comes to an end, and then you're
gonna miss that. You're gonna miss me talking to you.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Be rated. I don't think i'd berate you, No, but.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'll be a lost soul wandering the street waiting for
random people to have started with me about it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I don't know what the word is or the words
are to describe our relationship.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I like poke, we poke, Yeah, we prod. We have fun.
I call it love.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's playful.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I call it a relationship.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Seton the definition of berate is to scold or criticize
someone angrily.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm not angry at you. No, you do it with
a smile. Yes, yeah, yeah. But if I don't talk
to you, then who does Todd.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Now I don't really have no friends. We all know
that you have no friends.
Speaker 1 (01:21):

brought to you by mcguires. The new hybrid ceramic washing wax.
(01:44):
It's a bucket or foam cannon. It's great you have
the extreme water beating technology. The next time you wash
your car truck, think McGuire's reflect your passion, Play the Day,
poll question, stat of the Day, All of that forthcoming
eight seven seven three DP Show operator Tyler is sitting by.
He'll take your phone calls. The press conference yesterday with
(02:09):
Dion Sanders. It was not football related, and I had
given you heads up that this was going to be
a medical update and there were wide ranging reports speculation
on Deon Sanders' future as a head coach. Being able
to actually walk the sidelines, and we know that he
had a couple of toes amputated, there were a blood
(02:30):
clot that was a couple of years ago, but this
was something different. This was bladder cancer. And those close
to him, at least one person that I spoke to yesterday,
said that that he was He wasn't Prime, He wasn't
coach Prime. He was Dion and obviously very concerned about this.
(02:52):
So it took on a whole different tone behind the
scenes from what I was told yesterday of this is
the this is about living, This is about quality of life.
And I don't think we understood the severity. And he
was being private with this, but he was also sharing
this with some of his close friends because Prime has confidence.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Prime walks in the room and you know he's there.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This was different, and he was asked yesterday about this
cancer and coming back from it being able to coach.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I always knew I was going to coach again. I
never didn't realize I was going to coach again. I
was always going to coach. It was never in my spirit,
in my heart that God wouldn't allow me to coach again.
He never thought like that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, I was told that privately, though he did wonder
if he was going to be able to do that.
Could he walk the sidelines, would he be in a
press box? So you know, the mortality. This one of
the great athletes of our generation. And then all of
a sudden you look at him. He's lost a couple
of toes, had a blood clot, bladder cancer. We're all mortal.
(04:05):
I think it hit me really, really hard years ago.
And I mentioned this last week when I saw Earl
Campbell and we were in Houston for the Super Bowl
and he was in a wheelchair, and it just I
don't know why it hit me so hard. And then
I run into Jim McMahon and Tahoe and Jim talking
about that maybe you know, he was going to have
(04:25):
to get his leg amputated, part of his leg amputated.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
We sort of live in this world.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Sometimes we're in a vacuum and we don't look at
what is life as much as we look at what
is sporting life to us, who they are to us
when we see them on the field, it's when we
see them off the field and you'll see some of
these players and they're really beat up. And with Dion,
(04:53):
you first time I saw, you know, his feet, he
took his shoes off and showed us and he had
turf toe. And at that, you know, you don't think
turf toe is going to slow down one of the
greatest athletes of all time. But it did. And so
he had to get these toes amputated. And then you
(05:14):
have the blood clot now with bladder cancer. But he's
going to be there on the sidelines, and that was
great news. It was a relief, I think more than anything,
because privately I was told, you know, maybe it's fifty
to fifty if he's going to coach again, and he
wants to be prime. He wants to be coach prime.
He doesn't want to be out there not able to
(05:36):
be that person, that confident person on the sidelines. And
I think maybe there was a little bit of trepidation
with that or concern over that. The other story yesterday,
Manhattan shooting suspect said to have had CTE had a
note that mentioned the NFL goes into the headquarters in
(06:01):
New York City. A twenty seven year old man. He
killed four people wounded a fifth and this was at
the home office of the NFL. This is on Park Avenue,
three four five Park Avenue. So he takes the wrong elevator.
He wants to go up to the NFL offices. He
takes the wrong elevator, but he apparently was blaming the
(06:25):
NFL for his injury. CTE. You know, it's the brain
disease that is linked to repeated hits to the head.
He was a high school player, played in Canada, and
he had a history of head trauma. But he casually
walks in and I don't know if that's an AR
(06:47):
or an AK, doesn't matter, but he's just walking in
as if he's walking into work. The preliminary investigation, according
to the Mayor of New York City, is the man
took the wrong elevator. He wanted to go to NFL headquarters.
Instead he went to rudent management and that's where he
(07:09):
started shooting people.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
A fifth shooting victim taken.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
To the hospital in critical condition, is out of surgery
and right now in stable condition. But this man had
some issues back in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four,
with law enforcement sources saying the yet two mental health
crisis holds on his background where they normally keep you,
(07:34):
I think for up to seventy two hours because they're
a danger to themselves. But scary moment obviously, and four
lives were lost yesterday. We haven't talked about CTE in
a while after the lawsuit. It's still there. We've seen
Tua and what's happened to him with a couple of
concussions there. It's quieted down, but it's almost because the NFL,
(07:59):
in that billion dollar lawsuit said, after this, you're kind
of signing up and you know.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Exactly what you're getting.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's sort of like when you see the warning on
the side of cigarettes, like it's there. Surgeon General says,
you probably shouldn't do this, but we've gotten better helmets.
I think that, you know, the medical approach is not
to put your head in the sand or act like
it doesn't exist. The guardian caps, which I think if
(08:30):
we started out with that, nobody would have a problem
with that. It just we look at them and it
doesn't feel like that's football for some reason. But I
think if somebody comes along and is able to modify those,
to streamline it a little bit and make them look
more like a helmet. I don't think we'll have a
(08:50):
problem with it. I mean, imagine the football players who
put a face mask on, It's like, what are you
doing that for? I don't know, Maybe saved my face,
I don't know, you look pretty weird. Or Jacques Plant
when he put on a goldie mask and they probably
went and do you see what Jacque's gone on?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's got a mask.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
After a while, it just becomes the norm and and
hopefully if that cuts down on CTE, because it is
it's just a terrible, terrible I mean, it's debilitating for
these poor people. Uh you know, you start to look
at what it does to you. You know some of
the symptoms, uh you know, you you get mood swings, memory,
(09:35):
laws you. I mean it leads to other things as well.
Seeing you know, these great football players and they have
to be fed, they have to be taken care of,
you know, the wife who is all of a sudden
taking care of you know, this person, or you have
(09:57):
to put him in a you know, facil assisted living.
It's real, it's still there. Hopefully they continue with the progress,
but you know it's still got the risk will still
be there. But this man who's twenty seven years of age,
had suffered apparently some brain damage CTE and killed four
(10:18):
people yesterday in New York City. All right, eight seven
seven three DP Show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
twitter handle at DP show. We'll check in with one
of our good buddies, Daniel Jeremiah, former NFL scout, does
a great job for NFL Network. He's been to a
couple of camps, and we'll talk to him. There was
(10:39):
a signing yesterday Cortland Sutton got signed by the Broncos.
And I found this interesting because I love Terry McLaurin.
I think he's a wonderful player. I think he's, you know,
kind of battled through all the chaos and nonsense with
Washington five straight seasons of one thousand receiving yards, and
he's been in league for seven years, and he produces.
(11:03):
He wants to get paid. He's thirty years of age,
same age I believe as Courtland Sutton. Sutton got paid
yesterday by the Broncos. And Courtland Sutton is not as
good as Terry McLaurin, and I hope that now he's
got a hold in. He's showed up at camp doesn't
want to get fined. But that was one of those
where Denver signed up Courtland Sutton had no problem with that,
(11:27):
but the commanders not with Terry McLaurin and mclauren was
great before they got Jayden Daniels. He was almost the
constant there, and I like when those players get taken
care of. Hopefully Trey Hendrickson gets paid. He did everything
he was supposed to do, and hopefully the Bengals will
sign him. Not always the case. There's sometimes when players
(11:51):
ask for more money or they have two years left
on their deal and they get paid, and usually that
comes back to Haunt management there Seeton, what's.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Poll question today? Well, we got two of.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Them here, and I think we're gonna get them both
after the break. Oh okay, all right, after the break? Wow,
this is after the break and two Todd, have you
seen Happy Gilmour too?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I have not just said I was thinking about maybe
saving it for the weekend action because I don't really
have much of a life on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So the next time I'm in a really big movie,
then maybe a one.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I may see it one of these weeknights, but I
may save it for like a Saturday kind of thing
because I've got a little dinner and then it could
be a Saturday night showcase at my house.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Okay, you and Paulie holding out? Yeah, paul I do
have an update.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
My daughter and I watched the first movie That's like
and she told me, how did you not show me
this before? Now we're ready for part Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But I wasn't in the original, which is a mistake
on their end. It is, it is, but they Sandler
learned that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yes, Sandler learned from his mistake, and then he put
me in a Happy Gilmore two. The update I got
is they're looking at somewhere between ninety and one hundred
million streams Unhappy Gilmore too the first week.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That sounds like a good number, y. Yes it is.
That's a very good number.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yes, it doesn't mean anything to my bottom line because
I do this. It's more of a charity that I
do it. I do it for Sandler and his children
so they have a better life. Helping out a friend. Yes,
that's what I don't. I don't charge an exorbitant rate.
It's just basically I'm here to give.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, Tom, you need to sit down with the saman
for a future g where you get a little back
end off of you get a certain streaming number.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's too late for that. It's too late for that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Although Sandler did buy Rock and David Spade and Rob
Schneider their favorite car a couple of years ago, well
it's a few years ago because of all their contributions
to his movies. And I said to Sandler, you know,
if I get to twenty movies, I kind of like
that car. Well I blew past twenty movies, no car.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Paully suggests that maybe Sandman would lease a car for me.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Nice thirty nine month, yeah, twelve thousand miles.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, it'd be nice, you know, nice payment plan. I'd
be fine with that. Just you know, just a gesture there.
That's all, just a nice little danny. I didn't buy
you a car, but maybe he's got to buy cars
for his daughters, his two daughters, of course, but buy
a horse for his wife, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
AnyWho.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay, I shouldn't be turning it into a negative. I'm
in one of the biggest movies this year of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes time, do you already have the pontoon boat? Maybe
like a souped up canoe is there something you can
send a Maine for you as as a backup deal
to your pontoon boat if he doesn't want to go car.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Why why are you joking that? Jo feels like you're
joking about this.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I think that would be a lovely gesture, something for
the water.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
See, this is why i'd be rate you, because you
make fun of me. Your words hurt.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm just saying it doesn't have to be a car.
He can you know, he can get your golf card.
You can get you some kind of little boats.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Golf cart would be fine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I think this is what people mean when they say
you're gas lighting someone. You're gas lighting Todd right now.
Oh I'm oh, but what was he doing to me?
You're because you're you're saying to Todd things like you know, Todd,
your words hurt, they do hurt. That's that's when you're
you're gas lighting toddeh gaslight Yeah, because your words hurt Dan.
Oh okay, and now you're you're like throwing it back
(15:33):
in Todd's face. I think this is what maybe one
of the things people mean when they say forty minutes
of B rating. I think this would go under the
B rate umbrella.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You're turning the script a little bit there. But what
but what role did Todd play in this though? Now
you're blaming the victim.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Your victim, blaming yeah, being here, being alive.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm the victim here, showing up every day. I'm the victim.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You took it as me being like poking. You were
being sarcastic. I was being legitimately, here's some other options.
That's sand on my that's a nice president. It turned
it into a thing.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Just felt like negativity, felt like you were gaslighting met Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
As being the weak victim.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I apologize if vehicle suggestions.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Thank you. I appreciate that. That's the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, when we come back, they long awaited pulsey suggestions,
whole question suggestions there. All right, Well, take a break.
We're just getting started. Dan and The Dan Ants Dan
Patrick Show. 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 8 (16:42):
Wapp Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every
day five to.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
But here's the thing, we never have enough time to
get to everything we want to get.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
To and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber this lame in me.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We only have twelve employees total in here, and there's
a lot of space in the man cave. But you know,
usually during the commercial break, so I like to walk
around and like, just evesdrop.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And then we have Rob who were works in the back.
He works on the newsletter among other things, and he
said a few weeks ago that he could beat Zion
Williamson in a one hundred meter dash, and of course
everybody was like what, and he goes yes, And then
I just walked back through.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's called the bullpen. So Ray is there and Dylan's there.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Weeks are cameraman during the commercial break, Marvin was there
and all of a sudden, I hear I would cream
Zion Williamson in a five K. So now it's gone
from a hundred meter dash to a five K. And Marvin,
you were there as the ear witness.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I can't repeat what I said, but yes, I was
there to witness it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I don't know how this started that all of a sudden,
a Knicks fan and he's going to call out Zion
Williamson and he could beat him in a hundred meter dash. Now, okay,
I the older, I get the better I was, And
I'm always wanting to challenge you know people, certainly to
a shooting contest. I'm not gonna challenge somebody to one
(19:04):
hundred meter dash or five k certainly who was a
professional athlete like that. But and I wanted to see
who was the fastest person in the building. And I
think I was giving what five hundred dollars? Is that
what it was to whoever is the fastest Because this
started with one of our backroom guys, one of the brgs,
that he was claiming, if you can beat Zion Williamson,
(19:26):
who I think ran a four to six forty or
you know, something like that, then you probably are the
fastest guy in the building. And I was willing to
put five hundred dollars and then he says, no, I
don't want to do that, but I would race Zion Williamson.
There's always entertainment in every nook and cranny in this place.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yes, Paul, A.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Couple of details for background. We have not reached out
to Zion yet. We weren't sure how to package this offer. Fritzy,
that's on you. Zion listed at six six to eighty
four coming out of college. We do not have any
measurements of his speed. I can't find he's ever run
and been timed, no combine or anything.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Okay, but there's a lot of speculation.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
I saw some video of him comparing him to other
guys running down the court, and he's amongst the quicker guys.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
In the league.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And somebody's on record is saying, who wasn't Marvin who
talked about Zion's quickness Baron Fox so de Aaron Fox
said that Zion would be the quickest, uh, one of
the quickest, one of the quickest at the fore position.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Correct, Okay, that's believable. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
See, the average NBA player runs about two and a
half to three miles a game. Okay, Uh, A five
k is a little over three miles. I feel like
Zion is probably in that type of shape for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm going to guess he could run a five K.
I'm gonna guess he can run a five K.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And I'm gonna guess that he might be able to
run at a decent pace. I don't I don't know
about the one hundred meter dash, but I would love
to have everybody who would like to be involved in that.
We tried to set this up months ago that we
would have one hundred meter dash. I don't know if
any of the dan Nets. I think Marvin said that
he would run. It's seating you run as well. Yeah,
(21:19):
and then there's a couple of guys in the back
who claim that they could run pretty fast, but five
hundred dollars. See who's the fastest person in the building
one race. I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'm not going to have heats. Hold on, you're not well.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I would have I would have probably three groups of
four and then we would just do times the fastest
time or I would do the winner of each of those,
you know, heats. Then they would face off for the
grand prize of five hundred dollars. Does that sound okay?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
They even top two of each heat? No, no, no,
only one.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm all about winning, about participating, yes, Seaton or yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
If you were doing Olympic style, you could have three
heats of four, the winner of each heat and the
best time would be the fourth person of the finals.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Okay, Olympic style.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Once again, this doesn't happen unless Rob, one of the brgs,
decides to run. Because I don't want this to be oh,
such and such one. Rob didn't, and then Rob goes, yeah,
but I didn't run in it.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Yes, Pauling and the I team has never seen Rob
do anything but sit in that chair and edit over
the past two years. He does a fine job, but
I've never seen him really move or stand since.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I bet, I have not seen anything athletic. He doesn't
do pickleball, he doesn't do basketball. I don't think he
did whiffle ball.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Zion six six two eighty five Rob five eight one
forty is the estimate.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Okay, yes, seton Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I haven't seen any estimates either on If an NBA
player runs two and a half miles per game a
video editor per shift, that mileage I think is significantly less.
You're mileage may You're mileage may very uh yes, tod.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's also easy to break or show courage about a
contest that will never actually happen when you're throwing out
something that's a that's the likelihood.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Taking a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That should be sair.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Somebody's going to say it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
When I sit next to Billie Joel the piano, I
will totally outplay him, which I know will never have.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Speaking of health, looking good, uh, Luca is on the
cover of Men's Health, and all of a sudden, people
are going, WHOA, wait a minute here, somebody got in shape. Yes,
and I wonder if does Men's Health reach out to
Luca or vice versa. But Luca and his people working
in conjunction with Men's Health. He's on the cover, and
(23:45):
immediately I was seeing the reaction and social media was saying, yeah,
but they can photoshop that. Well then I saw him
at Yankee Stadium with Aaron Judge. Well, they didn't photoshop that.
He looks he looks thin, he looks felt, talks about
his whole workout routine, and he was one of those
(24:05):
guys that felt like in the and Larry Bird did this.
Larry Bird famously played softball and drank beer in the
off season and then they would use training camp to
get in shape. Well, I think Luca just played basketball.
I don't know if he's ever lifted weights. I saw
that there was a report that the place that he
(24:26):
works out didn't have barbells and dumbbells, didn't have weights
basically until recently, and then Luca started working out. And
you know, most of this is diet, just eating right.
You know what you drink, how much you drink how
much water? You know, all of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
But he looks good.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Prior to this, even seeing this and seeing this article,
I said he'll be the MVP this year. I truly
believe that he'll be the MVP because he's gotten to
that window where we did this to Joker, we did
it to Giannis, we did it to Joel n B.
When are you going to be the best player? When
are you going to be the MVP? Now we also asked,
(25:11):
when are you going to win a title? Well, he
went further than Joe Ellenbid did, and Bid got his MVP. Uh,
Jannis got his MVP and won a title, a couple MVPs.
Joker a few MVPs got his title. Now it's Luca's
turn because he just saw Shay Gilgess Alexander get the
MVP and get his title, and they're around the same age. Now,
(25:34):
all of a sudden, we're saying Shay Gilgess is better
than Luca. We're saying Anthony Edwards is better than Luca.
And I'd say, hold on here, hold on, he's better
than Anthony Edwards. If you said you can have Anthony
Edwards or Luca right now, I would take Luca wouldn't
even think about it. Anthony Edwards is a highlight. He's
got a There's another step for him to take, and that's,
(25:58):
you know, the maturity aspect of this, to want to
be a leader, to act like a leader. He's a
wonderfully talented player, but I don't think he's better than Luca.
Shay Gilgis say, Shay has proven to be a leader.
He's a guy who goes out and does it every
single night. And he got his team, you know, to
the NBA Championship, So he's going to be ranked higher
(26:21):
than Luca. Even though I hate these lists where we're
ranking players. I would take Shay Gilgis because I can
count on him. But I think this is that year.
This is the biggest year of Luca's life because we're
kind of on the exit strategy end of Lebron's career,
and who knows what he's saying. He was on a
(26:41):
yacht with the Joker's agent and his agent and talking
about basically twenty twenty six. Okay, I don't know what
the cryptic message means. Feels like, hey, you know, maybe
I'll go to Dallas. You know, I got my Frank
Hyrie's there, and Anthony Davis is there, and you know
I can help Cooper flag and I have no idea,
(27:02):
but it feels like Lebron knows this.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Isn't your team.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And if there was any question, the Lakers have answered
that because this is about Luca, and I think Luca
is saying to the Lakers, I understand my role here.
I understand what it means to be a leader, to
be I have this gift. I need to take care
of this. You don't want to look back and say
(27:28):
I wish I would have put in the time, put
in the effort. And Luca looks great, and I think
that that says a lot about the off season.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I always go back to this.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And as soon as I saw the cover on Men's
Health with Luca, the first thing I thought of was
when Michael Finley took a beer out of Luca's hand
after a game. Luca is in the hallway outside the
locker room and Michael Finley.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Takes the beer out of his hand. There's cameras there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Michael knew that Luca's just drinking beer, and that's what
I thought of, Well, now somebody's pushing you, And I
thought working with Lebron, seeing Lebron the time that he
puts in that by proxy, Luca would want to be
in better shape to know he has to be in
better shape and look out NBA. Kyrie tells the story
(28:26):
of Luca and he says, there was a practice where
Luca scored twenty four points in three minutes. He was
cooking somebody that badly. It's hard to score twenty four points,
let alone twenty four points in three minutes. But Kyrie said,
it's one of those moments where you go, damn, I
(28:48):
got the MVP odds according to DraftKings Joker and then
SGA and then it's Luca, so Joker plus two hundred,
SGA plus two fifty, Luca plus six point fifty. Then
it's Giannis Anthony Edwards, Victor wemban Yama and Kate Cunningham
Victor Wembanyama in the next two years, and I think
(29:12):
after that it's his MV PIG. I just feel like
what he's going to do is going to be game changing.
A couple of phone calls in here get started. Let's
see Chris in Texas. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Wait? Did we come up with our pole questions.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, oh, I might even wait until after the next
right now, can can it wait until after the next
Let me get to Chris in Texas and then Seaton
will come.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Up with the poll questions suggestions? All right, Hi Chris,
Hey Dan, what's up? Hey?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I just want to say this is a bucket list
on it for me because you have entertained me ever.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Since I was a child.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I'm not I'm not trying to get killed, but you're
the man and today's bird. Oh and I just want
to say that I love everybody but suck it back row. Well,
I've got to say that, and I'm and I wanted
the way you six ten, three fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
All right, thank you, CHROs and also Boomer. That's all
I gotta say. All right, well, thank you Chris.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
How about we give Chris well, maybe the macro doesn't
want to give a he loves everybody but suck at
back row.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Uh ready heavy birthday, birthday? Thank you Chris.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yes, Tod, I'm wondering when someone does the suck at
back row a front row that they would need to
elaborate a little furthers to watch.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Do you want that way? I think I do Okay,
maybe that would help us, It might help me.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's like you stop singing, you're not funny whatever, all
the million things I've heard that are negative. But maybe
you need to give a sense or two about why.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Todd, we've been saying that to you for years, but
just throwing.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Out second front row, a second back round is hurtful.
I think you need to kind of step up with
a because and then just a stroke.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Okay, all right, you ask for it, yes, set and
se Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
I kind of appreciate that, actually, because I feel like
I get a lot of suckets directed at me that
are really because I'm with Todd because it's a back row.
But it's really they're just saying Todd that they just
don't want to say that.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Out lost fair fair, very fair point.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I see Chris in Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Hi, Chris, how are you?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Dan?
Speaker 10 (31:21):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (31:23):
Uh? Longtime listener, first time caller six three. Appreciabod going
back to uh to what you were talking about with
with Dion and about how just it kind of struck
a chord with me about nobody knows what these athletes
are dealing with and everything like that. Just, uh, I'm
pulling in the parking lot right now at my church,
and that, uh, that kind of relates to everybody. You
(31:46):
just never know what anybody's dealing with, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, And it once again when I was in Tahoe
and I saw Jim McMahon, former Bears quarterback, and he
was limping, had a smile on his face. But we
start talking about healthcare and he doesn't have health care
and he said that he showed me the X rays
of his leg and he said, yeah, they thought about
(32:11):
amputating my leg. But he has a smile on his face.
But it just it stayed with men. It hit me
a lot harder because I've known Jim.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A long long time, and you know, they're just like us.
We don't.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I mean, they'll say that, hey, I'm just like you,
and you're like, no, you're not. You're famous or you
got money or no, he's just like us, got health issues,
doesn't have health care from the NFL. So all of
the things that he did, and he was the punky
QB and he won a Super Bowl, I mean all
of those things, it doesn't matter now. It's like seeing
(32:49):
Ryan Sandberg used to go to Cubs games. Didn't know Rhino,
but I would go there to hang out with Mark Grace,
who played first base, and you just watch somebody. He
was the other twenty three in town. And Rhino is
a great player. He's gone at the age of sixty five. Yeah,
(33:09):
there is mortality to all of this, even though we
look at them differently, and uh, you know that. That's
where it hit me with Earl Campbell, and it hit
me with Jim McMahon that they are when it's all
said and done, just like us. We'll take a break,
come up with a poll question. We have ours play

Do you want the two that are up there or

Speaker 3 (34:53):
The two that are not.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
More wrong, Bryce Harp or Commissioner Rob Manfred alrighty, let
me give you the backstory here. Commissioner Baseball goes into
the Phillies locker room. He's talking about the financial sanity
of baseball, talking about you know, and I maybe maybe
there's a salary cap or you know, we we need
(35:21):
to talk about this, so there's no work stoppage. And
and now this is allegedly what he said, but there's
no allegedly what Bryce Harper said, because he told the commissioner,
get the f.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Out of the locker room.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Okay, that's embarrassing for Bryce Harper, it really is. You know,
you got your your players are there the commissioner. The
commissioner at least came in to talk to the players,
and then you're going to you're gonna react that way
(35:57):
instead of being mature, instead of saying to Rob Manfred,
let's talk let you and me, let's talk about this.
Or maybe the commissioner should have given Bryce Harper heads
up and said, hey, I'm going to bring this up.
What do you think? And then Bryce Harper might have said,
don't bring it up. Don't bring that in here. It's
(36:18):
not going to go well. But I give the commissioner credit.
He's at least trying to talk to the players. And
is there going to be a work stoppage? Can you
get a salary cap? How many owners would be in
favor of that? The players aren't in favor of that.
I certainly understand that. But for Bryce Harper to act
that way, who are you? I mean, you got your money,
(36:44):
you're good. Maybe you're fighting for everybody else. I understand that,
But this is the commissioner of the game. He's at
least talking to you, but you have more respect if
he didn't say something to you, if he hid. I
(37:04):
was disappointed in Bryce Harper. I was embarrassed for him.
But maybe more details will happen. We reached out to
the commissioner. I'm just curious how many of these teams
is he going to go and talk to and what
exactly is the message that he has when he goes
and talks to these teams, Like where are we going?
(37:27):
Because the threat of a workstopage, I think is real.
But you know, when you think of sports, how many
teams can win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Four?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Maybe how many can win an NBA championship? Well, we've
had what seven consecutive years of a different team winning.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Maybe you got.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Eight teams that could win. Maybe football, let's just say
make the playoffs. Make the playoffs in basketball, make the
play you know, so you're there is a disparity here.
We know that, and it's a growing disparity. You'll have
the family owned teams that don't spend, and then you
(38:12):
get the guy who's a hedge fun guy, or the
guy who's or you know, it's a group, it's a company,
it's a you know whatever, you know, conglomerate that comes
in and buys a team, they spend their money, and
as a fan, you want your team to spend money.
I would want there to be you must spend ninety
percent of your profits on your product. If we're helping
(38:35):
you build a stadium, spend your spend your money. That's
what we're asking you to do. I don't think that's
asking a lot. You're still gonna make your money. Your
team is going to be worth whatever it's gonna be worth.
It's gonna be worth more if you put a better
product out there. But I was I was really surprised
that Bryce Harper would say that. And granted, you know,
(38:55):
he's he's got the backdrop of all of his teammates there.
They're probably like, yeah, you tell him, Bryce.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
It's the commissioner.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
You can still send a message, but you can send
it in a more mature way.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
This for me definitely feels like a situation where more
information is needed because I can't figure out why the
commissioner is in the locker room talking about a salary
cap at all. Anyway, I'm not saying Bryce Harper was right,
but I don't understand why it even got to the
point where you know the commissioner.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Is in there.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Well, fellas real quick, just some thoughts on a salary cap.
How does that even come up? Why are you even
down there talking about that? If it does feel inappropriate. Now,
again not excusing what Bryce Harper said, but for Bryce
Harper to maybe say word it better and say I
don't know that this is really the time and place
to do that may have been appropriate.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, you could say that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
You could say, Commissioner, we're not talking about that. You
don't say to the commissioner, get.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
The f outing no you don't, no, no. But what's
the other poll question if you were forced to say
who was more wrong? Though? Back to the pole question,
Bryce or commission.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I'm gonna say Bryce Harper because the commissioner at least
met with players face to face.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Bryce Harper could have chosen better words.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
That's some you could deliver the message, but you can
deliver it in a far more mature way than that,
or say, Commissioner, I want to let me talk to
you before you talk to these guys. I'm the leader
of this team. You got to gut you have to
talk to me. Yes, Tom, And he's still.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
The commissioner that I think warn't a certain amount of respect. Yes,
whether you like him or not or believe in his policies,
there's just got to be an infinite number of ways
to deal with that.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (40:42):
As of right now, MOLB teams do not have a
minimum spending threshold. There's an expectation to spend one hundred
and fifty percent of your revenue share on payroll, but
it's not a hard fast rule.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
That's another problem with this.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
I got to I don't have a problem with the
Dodgers out the money and they want to spend, and
they want to win. I mean I would want the
ownership of my team to spend. You know, the Mets spend,
Steve Cohen wants to win. The Yankees always spent, they
wanted to win. Other teams you know, it's, hey, we
got to build in profit here, we're making money. I
(41:22):
just want to make sure that there is a minimum
spend for these teams. If you want to modify the max, okay,
but there should be a minimum that I know that
at least we're trying to put the best product out
on the field. One hour in the books, two more

He'll take your phone calls. The press conference yesterday with
(02:09):
Dion Sanders. It was not football related, and I had
given you heads up that this was going to be
a medical update and there were wide ranging reports speculation
on Deon Sanders' future as a head coach. Being able
to actually walk the sidelines, and we know that he
had a couple of toes amputated, there were a blood
(02:30):
clot that was a couple of years ago, but this
was something different. This was bladder cancer. And those close
to him, at least one person that I spoke to yesterday,
said that that he was He wasn't Prime, He wasn't
coach Prime. He was Dion and obviously very concerned about this.
(02:52):
So it took on a whole different tone behind the
scenes from what I was told yesterday of this is
the this is about living, This is about quality of life.
And I don't think we understood the severity. And he
was being private with this, but he was also sharing
this with some of his close friends because Prime has confidence.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Prime walks in the room and you know he's there.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This was different, and he was asked yesterday about this
cancer and coming back from it being able to coach.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I always knew I was going to coach again. I
never didn't realize I was going to coach again. I
was always going to coach. It was never in my spirit,
in my heart that God wouldn't allow me to coach again.
He never thought like that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, I was told that privately, though he did wonder
if he was going to be able to do that.
Could he walk the sidelines, would he be in a
press box? So you know, the mortality. This one of
the great athletes of our generation. And then all of
a sudden you look at him. He's lost a couple
of toes, had a blood clot, bladder cancer. We're all mortal.
(04:05):
I think it hit me really, really hard years ago.
And I mentioned this last week when I saw Earl
Campbell and we were in Houston for the Super Bowl
and he was in a wheelchair, and it just I
don't know why it hit me so hard. And then
I run into Jim McMahon and Tahoe and Jim talking
about that maybe you know, he was going to have
(04:25):
to get his leg amputated, part of his leg amputated.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
We sort of live in this world.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Sometimes we're in a vacuum and we don't look at
what is life as much as we look at what
is sporting life to us, who they are to us
when we see them on the field, it's when we
see them off the field and you'll see some of
these players and they're really beat up. And with Dion,
(04:53):
you first time I saw, you know, his feet, he
took his shoes off and showed us and he had
turf toe. And at that, you know, you don't think
turf toe is going to slow down one of the
greatest athletes of all time. But it did. And so
he had to get these toes amputated. And then you
(05:14):
have the blood clot now with bladder cancer. But he's
going to be there on the sidelines, and that was
great news. It was a relief, I think more than anything,
because privately I was told, you know, maybe it's fifty
to fifty if he's going to coach again, and he
wants to be prime. He wants to be coach prime.
He doesn't want to be out there not able to
(05:36):
be that person, that confident person on the sidelines. And
I think maybe there was a little bit of trepidation
with that or concern over that. The other story yesterday,
Manhattan shooting suspect said to have had CTE had a
note that mentioned the NFL goes into the headquarters in
(06:01):
New York City. A twenty seven year old man. He
killed four people wounded a fifth and this was at
the home office of the NFL. This is on Park Avenue,
three four five Park Avenue. So he takes the wrong elevator.
He wants to go up to the NFL offices. He
takes the wrong elevator, but he apparently was blaming the
(06:25):
NFL for his injury. CTE. You know, it's the brain
disease that is linked to repeated hits to the head.
He was a high school player, played in Canada, and
he had a history of head trauma. But he casually
walks in and I don't know if that's an AR
(06:47):
or an AK, doesn't matter, but he's just walking in
as if he's walking into work. The preliminary investigation, according
to the Mayor of New York City, is the man
took the wrong elevator. He wanted to go to NFL headquarters.
Instead he went to rudent management and that's where he
(07:09):
started shooting people.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
A fifth shooting victim taken.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
To the hospital in critical condition, is out of surgery
and right now in stable condition. But this man had
some issues back in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four,
with law enforcement sources saying the yet two mental health
crisis holds on his background where they normally keep you,
(07:34):
I think for up to seventy two hours because they're
a danger to themselves. But scary moment obviously, and four
lives were lost yesterday. We haven't talked about CTE in
a while after the lawsuit. It's still there. We've seen
Tua and what's happened to him with a couple of
concussions there. It's quieted down, but it's almost because the NFL,
(07:59):
in that billion dollar lawsuit said, after this, you're kind
of signing up and you know.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Exactly what you're getting.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's sort of like when you see the warning on
the side of cigarettes, like it's there. Surgeon General says,
you probably shouldn't do this, but we've gotten better helmets.
I think that, you know, the medical approach is not
to put your head in the sand or act like
it doesn't exist. The guardian caps, which I think if
(08:30):
we started out with that, nobody would have a problem
with that. It just we look at them and it
doesn't feel like that's football for some reason. But I
think if somebody comes along and is able to modify those,
to streamline it a little bit and make them look
more like a helmet. I don't think we'll have a
(08:50):
problem with it. I mean, imagine the football players who
put a face mask on, It's like, what are you
doing that for? I don't know, Maybe saved my face,
I don't know, you look pretty weird. Or Jacques Plant
when he put on a goldie mask and they probably
went and do you see what Jacque's gone on?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's got a mask.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
After a while, it just becomes the norm and and
hopefully if that cuts down on CTE, because it is
it's just a terrible, terrible I mean, it's debilitating for
these poor people. Uh you know, you start to look
at what it does to you. You know some of
the symptoms, uh you know, you you get mood swings, memory,
(09:35):
laws you. I mean it leads to other things as well.
Seeing you know, these great football players and they have
to be fed, they have to be taken care of,
you know, the wife who is all of a sudden
taking care of you know, this person, or you have
(09:57):
to put him in a you know, facil assisted living.
It's real, it's still there. Hopefully they continue with the progress,
but you know it's still got the risk will still
be there. But this man who's twenty seven years of age,
had suffered apparently some brain damage CTE and killed four
(10:18):
people yesterday in New York City. All right, eight seven
seven three DP Show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
twitter handle at DP show. We'll check in with one
of our good buddies, Daniel Jeremiah, former NFL scout, does
a great job for NFL Network. He's been to a
couple of camps, and we'll talk to him. There was
(10:39):
a signing yesterday Cortland Sutton got signed by the Broncos.
And I found this interesting because I love Terry McLaurin.
I think he's a wonderful player. I think he's, you know,
kind of battled through all the chaos and nonsense with
Washington five straight seasons of one thousand receiving yards, and
he's been in league for seven years, and he produces.
(11:03):
He wants to get paid. He's thirty years of age,
same age I believe as Courtland Sutton. Sutton got paid
yesterday by the Broncos. And Courtland Sutton is not as
good as Terry McLaurin, and I hope that now he's
got a hold in. He's showed up at camp doesn't
want to get fined. But that was one of those
where Denver signed up Courtland Sutton had no problem with that,
(11:27):
but the commanders not with Terry McLaurin and mclauren was
great before they got Jayden Daniels. He was almost the
constant there, and I like when those players get taken
care of. Hopefully Trey Hendrickson gets paid. He did everything
he was supposed to do, and hopefully the Bengals will
sign him. Not always the case. There's sometimes when players
(11:51):
ask for more money or they have two years left
on their deal and they get paid, and usually that
comes back to Haunt management there Seeton, what's.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Poll question today? Well, we got two of.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Them here, and I think we're gonna get them both
after the break. Oh okay, all right, after the break? Wow,
this is after the break and two Todd, have you
seen Happy Gilmour too?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I have not just said I was thinking about maybe
saving it for the weekend action because I don't really
have much of a life on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So the next time I'm in a really big movie,
then maybe a one.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I may see it one of these weeknights, but I
may save it for like a Saturday kind of thing
because I've got a little dinner and then it could
be a Saturday night showcase at my house.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Okay, you and Paulie holding out? Yeah, paul I do
have an update.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
My daughter and I watched the first movie That's like
and she told me, how did you not show me
this before? Now we're ready for part Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But I wasn't in the original, which is a mistake
on their end. It is, it is, but they Sandler
learned that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yes, Sandler learned from his mistake, and then he put
me in a Happy Gilmore two. The update I got
is they're looking at somewhere between ninety and one hundred
million streams Unhappy Gilmore too the first week.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That sounds like a good number, y. Yes it is.
That's a very good number.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yes, it doesn't mean anything to my bottom line because
I do this. It's more of a charity that I
do it. I do it for Sandler and his children
so they have a better life. Helping out a friend. Yes,
that's what I don't. I don't charge an exorbitant rate.
It's just basically I'm here to give.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, Tom, you need to sit down with the saman
for a future g where you get a little back
end off of you get a certain streaming number.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's too late for that. It's too late for that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Although Sandler did buy Rock and David Spade and Rob
Schneider their favorite car a couple of years ago, well
it's a few years ago because of all their contributions
to his movies. And I said to Sandler, you know,
if I get to twenty movies, I kind of like
that car. Well I blew past twenty movies, no car.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Paully suggests that maybe Sandman would lease a car for me.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Nice thirty nine month, yeah, twelve thousand miles.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, it'd be nice, you know, nice payment plan. I'd
be fine with that. Just you know, just a gesture there.
That's all, just a nice little danny. I didn't buy
you a car, but maybe he's got to buy cars
for his daughters, his two daughters, of course, but buy
a horse for his wife, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
AnyWho.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay, I shouldn't be turning it into a negative. I'm
in one of the biggest movies this year of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes time, do you already have the pontoon boat? Maybe
like a souped up canoe is there something you can
send a Maine for you as as a backup deal
to your pontoon boat if he doesn't want to go car.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Why why are you joking that? Jo feels like you're
joking about this.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I think that would be a lovely gesture, something for
the water.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
See, this is why i'd be rate you, because you
make fun of me. Your words hurt.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm just saying it doesn't have to be a car.
He can you know, he can get your golf card.
You can get you some kind of little boats.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Golf cart would be fine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I think this is what people mean when they say
you're gas lighting someone. You're gas lighting Todd right now.
Oh I'm oh, but what was he doing to me?
You're because you're you're saying to Todd things like you know, Todd,
your words hurt, they do hurt. That's that's when you're
you're gas lighting toddeh gaslight Yeah, because your words hurt Dan.
Oh okay, and now you're you're like throwing it back
(15:33):
in Todd's face. I think this is what maybe one
of the things people mean when they say forty minutes
of B rating. I think this would go under the
B rate umbrella.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You're turning the script a little bit there. But what
but what role did Todd play in this though? Now
you're blaming the victim.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Your victim, blaming yeah, being here, being alive.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm the victim here, showing up every day. I'm the victim.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You took it as me being like poking. You were
being sarcastic. I was being legitimately, here's some other options.
That's sand on my that's a nice president. It turned
it into a thing.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Just felt like negativity, felt like you were gaslighting met Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
As being the weak victim.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I apologize if vehicle suggestions.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Thank you. I appreciate that. That's the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, when we come back, they long awaited pulsey suggestions,
whole question suggestions there. All right, Well, take a break.
We're just getting started. Dan and The Dan Ants Dan
Patrick Show. 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.

Wapp Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
But here's the thing, we never have enough time to
get to everything we want to get.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
To and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber this lame in me.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We only have twelve employees total in here, and there's
a lot of space in the man cave. But you know,
usually during the commercial break, so I like to walk
around and like, just evesdrop.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And then we have Rob who were works in the back.
He works on the newsletter among other things, and he
said a few weeks ago that he could beat Zion
Williamson in a one hundred meter dash, and of course
everybody was like what, and he goes yes, And then
I just walked back through.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's called the bullpen. So Ray is there and Dylan's there.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Weeks are cameraman during the commercial break, Marvin was there
and all of a sudden, I hear I would cream
Zion Williamson in a five K. So now it's gone
from a hundred meter dash to a five K. And Marvin,
you were there as the ear witness.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I can't repeat what I said, but yes, I was
there to witness it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I don't know how this started that all of a sudden,
a Knicks fan and he's going to call out Zion
Williamson and he could beat him in a hundred meter dash. Now, okay,
I the older, I get the better I was, And
I'm always wanting to challenge you know people, certainly to
a shooting contest. I'm not gonna challenge somebody to one
(19:04):
hundred meter dash or five k certainly who was a
professional athlete like that. But and I wanted to see
who was the fastest person in the building. And I
think I was giving what five hundred dollars? Is that
what it was to whoever is the fastest Because this
started with one of our backroom guys, one of the brgs,
that he was claiming, if you can beat Zion Williamson,
(19:26):
who I think ran a four to six forty or
you know, something like that, then you probably are the
fastest guy in the building. And I was willing to
put five hundred dollars and then he says, no, I
don't want to do that, but I would race Zion Williamson.
There's always entertainment in every nook and cranny in this place.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yes, Paul, A.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Couple of details for background. We have not reached out
to Zion yet. We weren't sure how to package this offer. Fritzy,
that's on you. Zion listed at six six to eighty
four coming out of college. We do not have any
measurements of his speed. I can't find he's ever run
and been timed, no combine or anything.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Okay, but there's a lot of speculation.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
I saw some video of him comparing him to other
guys running down the court, and he's amongst the quicker guys.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
In the league.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And somebody's on record is saying, who wasn't Marvin who
talked about Zion's quickness Baron Fox so de Aaron Fox
said that Zion would be the quickest, uh, one of
the quickest, one of the quickest at the fore position.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Correct, Okay, that's believable. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
See, the average NBA player runs about two and a
half to three miles a game. Okay, Uh, A five
k is a little over three miles. I feel like
Zion is probably in that type of shape for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm going to guess he could run a five K.
I'm gonna guess he can run a five K.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And I'm gonna guess that he might be able to
run at a decent pace. I don't I don't know
about the one hundred meter dash, but I would love
to have everybody who would like to be involved in that.
We tried to set this up months ago that we
would have one hundred meter dash. I don't know if
any of the dan Nets. I think Marvin said that
he would run. It's seating you run as well. Yeah,
(21:19):
and then there's a couple of guys in the back
who claim that they could run pretty fast, but five
hundred dollars. See who's the fastest person in the building
one race. I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'm not going to have heats. Hold on, you're not well.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I would have I would have probably three groups of
four and then we would just do times the fastest
time or I would do the winner of each of those,
you know, heats. Then they would face off for the
grand prize of five hundred dollars. Does that sound okay?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
They even top two of each heat? No, no, no,
only one.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm all about winning, about participating, yes, Seaton or yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
If you were doing Olympic style, you could have three
heats of four, the winner of each heat and the
best time would be the fourth person of the finals.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Okay, Olympic style.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Once again, this doesn't happen unless Rob, one of the brgs,
decides to run. Because I don't want this to be oh,
such and such one. Rob didn't, and then Rob goes, yeah,
but I didn't run in it.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Yes, Pauling and the I team has never seen Rob
do anything but sit in that chair and edit over
the past two years. He does a fine job, but
I've never seen him really move or stand since.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I bet, I have not seen anything athletic. He doesn't
do pickleball, he doesn't do basketball. I don't think he
did whiffle ball.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Zion six six two eighty five Rob five eight one
forty is the estimate.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Okay, yes, seton Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I haven't seen any estimates either on If an NBA
player runs two and a half miles per game a
video editor per shift, that mileage I think is significantly less.
You're mileage may You're mileage may very uh yes, tod.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's also easy to break or show courage about a
contest that will never actually happen when you're throwing out
something that's a that's the likelihood.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Taking a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That should be sair.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Somebody's going to say it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
When I sit next to Billie Joel the piano, I
will totally outplay him, which I know will never have.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Speaking of health, looking good, uh, Luca is on the
cover of Men's Health, and all of a sudden, people
are going, WHOA, wait a minute here, somebody got in shape. Yes,
and I wonder if does Men's Health reach out to
Luca or vice versa. But Luca and his people working
in conjunction with Men's Health. He's on the cover, and
(23:45):
immediately I was seeing the reaction and social media was saying, yeah,
but they can photoshop that. Well then I saw him
at Yankee Stadium with Aaron Judge. Well, they didn't photoshop that.
He looks he looks thin, he looks felt, talks about
his whole workout routine, and he was one of those
(24:05):
guys that felt like in the and Larry Bird did this.
Larry Bird famously played softball and drank beer in the
off season and then they would use training camp to
get in shape. Well, I think Luca just played basketball.
I don't know if he's ever lifted weights. I saw
that there was a report that the place that he
(24:26):
works out didn't have barbells and dumbbells, didn't have weights
basically until recently, and then Luca started working out. And
you know, most of this is diet, just eating right.
You know what you drink, how much you drink how
much water? You know, all of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
But he looks good.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Prior to this, even seeing this and seeing this article,
I said he'll be the MVP this year. I truly
believe that he'll be the MVP because he's gotten to
that window where we did this to Joker, we did
it to Giannis, we did it to Joel n B.
When are you going to be the best player? When
are you going to be the MVP? Now we also asked,
(25:11):
when are you going to win a title? Well, he
went further than Joe Ellenbid did, and Bid got his MVP. Uh,
Jannis got his MVP and won a title, a couple MVPs.
Joker a few MVPs got his title. Now it's Luca's
turn because he just saw Shay Gilgess Alexander get the
MVP and get his title, and they're around the same age. Now,
(25:34):
all of a sudden, we're saying Shay Gilgess is better
than Luca. We're saying Anthony Edwards is better than Luca.
And I'd say, hold on here, hold on, he's better
than Anthony Edwards. If you said you can have Anthony
Edwards or Luca right now, I would take Luca wouldn't
even think about it. Anthony Edwards is a highlight. He's
got a There's another step for him to take, and that's,
(25:58):
you know, the maturity aspect of this, to want to
be a leader, to act like a leader. He's a
wonderfully talented player, but I don't think he's better than Luca.
Shay Gilgis say, Shay has proven to be a leader.
He's a guy who goes out and does it every
single night. And he got his team, you know, to
the NBA Championship, So he's going to be ranked higher
(26:21):
than Luca. Even though I hate these lists where we're
ranking players. I would take Shay Gilgis because I can
count on him. But I think this is that year.
This is the biggest year of Luca's life because we're
kind of on the exit strategy end of Lebron's career,
and who knows what he's saying. He was on a
(26:41):
yacht with the Joker's agent and his agent and talking
about basically twenty twenty six. Okay, I don't know what
the cryptic message means. Feels like, hey, you know, maybe
I'll go to Dallas. You know, I got my Frank
Hyrie's there, and Anthony Davis is there, and you know
I can help Cooper flag and I have no idea,
(27:02):
but it feels like Lebron knows this.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Isn't your team.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And if there was any question, the Lakers have answered
that because this is about Luca, and I think Luca
is saying to the Lakers, I understand my role here.
I understand what it means to be a leader, to
be I have this gift. I need to take care
of this. You don't want to look back and say
(27:28):
I wish I would have put in the time, put
in the effort. And Luca looks great, and I think
that that says a lot about the off season.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I always go back to this.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And as soon as I saw the cover on Men's
Health with Luca, the first thing I thought of was
when Michael Finley took a beer out of Luca's hand
after a game. Luca is in the hallway outside the
locker room and Michael Finley.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Takes the beer out of his hand. There's cameras there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Michael knew that Luca's just drinking beer, and that's what
I thought of, Well, now somebody's pushing you, And I
thought working with Lebron, seeing Lebron the time that he
puts in that by proxy, Luca would want to be
in better shape to know he has to be in
better shape and look out NBA. Kyrie tells the story
(28:26):
of Luca and he says, there was a practice where
Luca scored twenty four points in three minutes. He was
cooking somebody that badly. It's hard to score twenty four points,
let alone twenty four points in three minutes. But Kyrie said,
it's one of those moments where you go, damn, I
(28:48):
got the MVP odds according to DraftKings Joker and then
SGA and then it's Luca, so Joker plus two hundred,
SGA plus two fifty, Luca plus six point fifty. Then
it's Giannis Anthony Edwards, Victor wemban Yama and Kate Cunningham
Victor Wembanyama in the next two years, and I think
(29:12):
after that it's his MV PIG. I just feel like
what he's going to do is going to be game changing.
A couple of phone calls in here get started. Let's
see Chris in Texas. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Wait? Did we come up with our pole questions.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, oh, I might even wait until after the next
right now, can can it wait until after the next
Let me get to Chris in Texas and then Seaton
will come.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Up with the poll questions suggestions? All right, Hi Chris,
Hey Dan, what's up? Hey?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I just want to say this is a bucket list
on it for me because you have entertained me ever.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Since I was a child.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I'm not I'm not trying to get killed, but you're
the man and today's bird. Oh and I just want
to say that I love everybody but suck it back row. Well,
I've got to say that, and I'm and I wanted
the way you six ten, three fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
All right, thank you, CHROs and also Boomer. That's all
I gotta say. All right, well, thank you Chris.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
How about we give Chris well, maybe the macro doesn't
want to give a he loves everybody but suck at
back row.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Uh ready heavy birthday, birthday? Thank you Chris.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yes, Tod, I'm wondering when someone does the suck at
back row a front row that they would need to
elaborate a little furthers to watch.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Do you want that way? I think I do Okay,
maybe that would help us, It might help me.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's like you stop singing, you're not funny whatever, all
the million things I've heard that are negative. But maybe
you need to give a sense or two about why.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Todd, we've been saying that to you for years, but
just throwing.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Out second front row, a second back round is hurtful.
I think you need to kind of step up with
a because and then just a stroke.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Okay, all right, you ask for it, yes, set and
se Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
I kind of appreciate that, actually, because I feel like
I get a lot of suckets directed at me that
are really because I'm with Todd because it's a back row.
But it's really they're just saying Todd that they just
don't want to say that.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Out lost fair fair, very fair point.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I see Chris in Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Hi, Chris, how are you?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Dan?
Speaker 10 (31:21):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (31:23):
Uh? Longtime listener, first time caller six three. Appreciabod going
back to uh to what you were talking about with
with Dion and about how just it kind of struck
a chord with me about nobody knows what these athletes
are dealing with and everything like that. Just, uh, I'm
pulling in the parking lot right now at my church,
and that, uh, that kind of relates to everybody. You
(31:46):
just never know what anybody's dealing with, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, And it once again when I was in Tahoe
and I saw Jim McMahon, former Bears quarterback, and he
was limping, had a smile on his face. But we
start talking about healthcare and he doesn't have health care
and he said that he showed me the X rays
of his leg and he said, yeah, they thought about
(32:11):
amputating my leg. But he has a smile on his face.
But it just it stayed with men. It hit me
a lot harder because I've known Jim.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A long long time, and you know, they're just like us.
We don't.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I mean, they'll say that, hey, I'm just like you,
and you're like, no, you're not. You're famous or you
got money or no, he's just like us, got health issues,
doesn't have health care from the NFL. So all of
the things that he did, and he was the punky
QB and he won a Super Bowl, I mean all
of those things, it doesn't matter now. It's like seeing
(32:49):
Ryan Sandberg used to go to Cubs games. Didn't know Rhino,
but I would go there to hang out with Mark Grace,
who played first base, and you just watch somebody. He
was the other twenty three in town. And Rhino is
a great player. He's gone at the age of sixty five. Yeah,
(33:09):
there is mortality to all of this, even though we
look at them differently, and uh, you know that. That's
where it hit me with Earl Campbell, and it hit
me with Jim McMahon that they are when it's all
said and done, just like us. We'll take a break,
come up with a poll question. We have ours play

Speaker 3 (34:53):
The two that are not.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
More wrong, Bryce Harp or Commissioner Rob Manfred alrighty, let
me give you the backstory here. Commissioner Baseball goes into
the Phillies locker room. He's talking about the financial sanity
of baseball, talking about you know, and I maybe maybe
there's a salary cap or you know, we we need
(35:21):
to talk about this, so there's no work stoppage. And
and now this is allegedly what he said, but there's
no allegedly what Bryce Harper said, because he told the commissioner,
get the f.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Out of the locker room.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Okay, that's embarrassing for Bryce Harper, it really is. You know,
you got your your players are there the commissioner. The
commissioner at least came in to talk to the players,
and then you're going to you're gonna react that way
(35:57):
instead of being mature, instead of saying to Rob Manfred,
let's talk let you and me, let's talk about this.
Or maybe the commissioner should have given Bryce Harper heads
up and said, hey, I'm going to bring this up.
What do you think? And then Bryce Harper might have said,
don't bring it up. Don't bring that in here. It's
(36:18):
not going to go well. But I give the commissioner credit.
He's at least trying to talk to the players. And
is there going to be a work stoppage? Can you
get a salary cap? How many owners would be in
favor of that? The players aren't in favor of that.
I certainly understand that. But for Bryce Harper to act
that way, who are you? I mean, you got your money,
(36:44):
you're good. Maybe you're fighting for everybody else. I understand that,
But this is the commissioner of the game. He's at
least talking to you, but you have more respect if
he didn't say something to you, if he hid. I
(37:04):
was disappointed in Bryce Harper. I was embarrassed for him.
But maybe more details will happen. We reached out to
the commissioner. I'm just curious how many of these teams
is he going to go and talk to and what
exactly is the message that he has when he goes
and talks to these teams, Like where are we going?
(37:27):
Because the threat of a workstopage, I think is real.
But you know, when you think of sports, how many
teams can win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Four?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Maybe how many can win an NBA championship? Well, we've
had what seven consecutive years of a different team winning.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Maybe you got.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Eight teams that could win. Maybe football, let's just say
make the playoffs. Make the playoffs in basketball, make the
play you know, so you're there is a disparity here.
We know that, and it's a growing disparity. You'll have
the family owned teams that don't spend, and then you
(38:12):
get the guy who's a hedge fun guy, or the
guy who's or you know, it's a group, it's a company,
it's a you know whatever, you know, conglomerate that comes
in and buys a team, they spend their money, and
as a fan, you want your team to spend money.
I would want there to be you must spend ninety
percent of your profits on your product. If we're helping
(38:35):
you build a stadium, spend your spend your money. That's
what we're asking you to do. I don't think that's
asking a lot. You're still gonna make your money. Your
team is going to be worth whatever it's gonna be worth.
It's gonna be worth more if you put a better
product out there. But I was I was really surprised
that Bryce Harper would say that. And granted, you know,
(38:55):
he's he's got the backdrop of all of his teammates there.
They're probably like, yeah, you tell him, Bryce.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
It's the commissioner.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
You can still send a message, but you can send
it in a more mature way.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
This for me definitely feels like a situation where more
information is needed because I can't figure out why the
commissioner is in the locker room talking about a salary
cap at all. Anyway, I'm not saying Bryce Harper was right,
but I don't understand why it even got to the
point where you know the commissioner.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Is in there.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Well, fellas real quick, just some thoughts on a salary cap.
How does that even come up? Why are you even
down there talking about that? If it does feel inappropriate. Now,
again not excusing what Bryce Harper said, but for Bryce
Harper to maybe say word it better and say I
don't know that this is really the time and place
to do that may have been appropriate.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, you could say that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
You could say, Commissioner, we're not talking about that. You
don't say to the commissioner, get.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
The f outing no you don't, no, no. But what's
the other poll question if you were forced to say
who was more wrong? Though? Back to the pole question,
Bryce or commission.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I'm gonna say Bryce Harper because the commissioner at least
met with players face to face.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Bryce Harper could have chosen better words.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
That's some you could deliver the message, but you can
deliver it in a far more mature way than that,
or say, Commissioner, I want to let me talk to
you before you talk to these guys. I'm the leader
of this team. You got to gut you have to
talk to me. Yes, Tom, And he's still.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
The commissioner that I think warn't a certain amount of respect. Yes,
whether you like him or not or believe in his policies,
there's just got to be an infinite number of ways
to deal with that.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (40:42):
As of right now, MOLB teams do not have a
minimum spending threshold. There's an expectation to spend one hundred
and fifty percent of your revenue share on payroll, but
it's not a hard fast rule.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
That's another problem with this.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
I got to I don't have a problem with the
Dodgers out the money and they want to spend, and
they want to win. I mean I would want the
ownership of my team to spend. You know, the Mets spend,
Steve Cohen wants to win. The Yankees always spent, they
wanted to win. Other teams you know, it's, hey, we
got to build in profit here, we're making money. I
(41:22):
just want to make sure that there is a minimum
spend for these teams. If you want to modify the max, okay,
but there should be a minimum that I know that
at least we're trying to put the best product out
on the field. One hour in the books, two more
