Speaker 2 (00:46):
Golf Channel Masters week under way, got the Par three
tournament coming up and whether it looks like it's going
to be great. The Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred a little
bit later on in the program, if you would like
to join us, Operator tylers By, you'll take your phone calls.
Good morning if you're watching, if you're streaming on Peacock
or NBC Sports Network. Stat of the Day is always
(01:07):
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the DP Show and First Hour brought to you
by the great folks at Miller Lite. The picks will
be coming in Draft Night. Isn't just about who gets called,
It's about who shows up. Fernando Mendoza is not showing
up the number one overall pick. It's going to sit
this one out and be with his family. But for
(01:28):
the big moments, Miller lte legendary moments start with a
Miller like got to play the day, poll question, stat
of the Day, all of that forthcoming NBA final regular
season games. I mentioned Fernando Mendoza is going to sit
this one out, and I don't know, you know, it
might have to do with his mother not being able
(01:48):
to travel, but he wants to spend the time with
his family. I remember covering Barry Sanders at Barry Sanders
was going to be at home with his family. He
didn't go to the draft, but you know, Barry wasn't
the number one overall pick. Now, if I'm the NFL,
I'm like, okay, how do we get Fernando Mendoza. It's
like you go to a play opening night and the
(02:10):
star is not going to be there. He'll eventually be there,
but he's not going to be there that opening night.
And this draft is void of star's name recognition. You
have Jeremiah Love. Now he's the other big name, but
you know, this was about Fernando Mendoza. And if I'm
the Mothership and you want to have features, you know,
(02:31):
your lead up to the draft, the Raiders are on
the clock and Fernando Mendoza walking in with his family.
What's he wearing? And you know, then you get that opportunity,
get an interview with him. He gets drafted, he gets
to hug the commissioner, and then you talk to him
again after he gets drafted. So you get to spend
(02:51):
you know, a good hour on Fernando Mendoza leading in,
you know, to that first night of the draft. Speaking
of Jeremiah of I had him as a second on
my Heisman list. I thought he was wonderful this year.
I thought he was must see TV. Here's the problem
I have, and I guess it's a good problem. But
(03:14):
the Tennessee Titans at number four, they're the ones that
a lot of these mocked drabs have them. Taking Jeremiah Love,
the notre Dame running back, and while I love Jeremiah Love,
I don't want to take a running back unless I
know my team like that's the missing piece.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
This is why I thought the Giants taking Saquon Barkley.
It was this smart move. It was at the end
of Eli's career. I thought that they were ready to win,
and he was going to be that safety valve. He
was going to give you twelve hundred, fourteen hundred yards.
He was going to catch, you know, forty or fifty pounces,
and he was going to be a weapon. But if
you take him that high, you've got to make sure
(03:54):
that you're able to use him on a good team
because you don't build around a running back now. Years
and years and years ago, you could build around a
running back, but that's not the case anymore. The Raiders
they drafted Ashton genty, and while I loved watching him
in college, I didn't think he played well. I didn't
think he was a threat. He had nine hundred yards
(04:17):
nine to seventy five and he averaged a three point
seven yards per attempt number six pick. Overall, Well, he
might be the right guy. It just wasn't the right
time for him because the offensive line wasn't any good.
If I'm Tennessee, I think long and hard about Okay,
take Jeremiah Love. How is my offensive line? Because if
(04:39):
we're confident our line is pretty good, not average, then
take Jeremiah Love. But if you're not confident that that
line will be opening up holes for him, you're gonna
have him for four years and then you might be
getting better and then you're gonna have to pay him.
But if I'm taking Jeremiah Love, like Washington to is
(05:00):
the destination because they had a down year injuries, and
you put Jeremiah Love in there with Jayden Daniels. Now
we got something. We got something going on. But I
got to have the right team around him. It's just
like a quarterback, and I have to have the right
team ready to go for that running back. And I
don't know if Tennessee is that team right now, because
(05:22):
you might waste him and he gets you know, a
thousand yards, which isn't a big deal anymore, but a
thousand yards and your team wins, you know, six games.
But if you have that missing piece, and it's like, man,
I got a home run threat right there, because that's
the guy. Because if I'm the Titans. I have the
fourth pick. Do I trade out of that? Can I
(05:45):
trade out of that? Can I get alignment that I
think is worth that pick? And alignment makes more. You know,
we don't like when our team takes alignment a defensive
lineman an offensive lineman.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We like when you have that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Pick that everybody knows, Oh my god, mil Kuiper loved that.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's when you get some guy, you know, Jimmy Lipper
out of NC State, and you go, yeah. But then
you get to the playoffs and then all of a sudden,
they're saying, oh, this is how they built their team.
They got that center, and then they got this guard,
they got that tackling free agency. That's how you win championships,
That's how you advance in the playoffs. It's nice to
(06:25):
have the shiny pieces, but if they're covered up, you know,
the gold looks like pewter. And that's the big difference
I have with this going into this draft. Jeremiah Love
is a home run waiting to happen. But I got
to make sure that I have a team that can
allow him to hit home runs.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I think the best case scenario was
maybe ten or so years ago when the Cowboys drafted
Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall and he had a great offensive
line and he came out like Gangbusters, and I think
he led the league in rushing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
That's the time when you get a running back with
the fourth pick and the draft, when you have your
offensive line solidified already.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, and then they got to the next contract and
I said, don't re sign him. You got five years
out of him, let him go, and they re signed him.
But you know, the Titans with a new stadium, I mean,
you want to roll into this with some momentum. Cam Ward,
by all accounts, is a franchise quarterback. But the more
I look at these mock drafts, Jeremiah Love is probably
(07:24):
going to be a top five, top six, top seven pick.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I think the Commanders so they had seven and if
that's the case, I would gobble him up if I'm Washington.
But they're in a different position than Tennessee is. But
you know, this isn't one of those drafts where we're
going to look back on all the big names, even
the wide receivers, Like there are some wide receivers where
(07:48):
you go, oh, yeah, I remember that guy. This is
lacking star power, But that doesn't mean we won't look
back and go, yeah, they got that guy in whatever slot,
whatever round owned And it might be a guy that
is an offensive defensive lineman, maybe an edge rusher in
here who turns out to be great.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
But that's where it's tricky.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You know, we don't have the star power with quarterbacks,
and the quarterback is not showing up for the draft.
And ty Simpson is probably going to be a first
round pick, even though there are a lot of draft evaluators,
including my friend who said I don't have a first
round great on him. That doesn't mean he won't go
(08:29):
in the first round because there are people who still
looking at Arizona, the Jets or the Steelers. Those are
the three teams that everybody has been told they could
be drafting ty Simpson. So look, I'm going to the draft.
We're going to be there for three days in Pittsburgh.
We look forward to it. We love the atmosphere. You
get to talk football in April. Nothing wrong with that.
(08:51):
I just don't I don't know if the focus will
be completely on just the draft because you're going to
have to be introducing people to some of these players,
which is fine. I love doing that. If you find
that guy and you go keep an eye on him,
and it feels like every year where you go, man,
I love that guy. And this might be one of
those drafts where it's somebody you not quite sure about
(09:14):
or you haven't heard, but then you remember, oh my gosh,
yes they talked about him on Draft nine.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yes, Marv.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The NFL Draft ESPN, NFL Network. They got to put
a montage of defensive lineman making big plays in the
Super Bowl and in playoff games, just to let teams
know this is what wins championships because the name recognition
alone is not going to move the needle.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, you go back to Aaron Donald. When Aaron Donald
was taken, they didn't know what they had. They're like,
you got a short guy out of Pittsburgh and then
all of a sudden he became one of the best
defensive linemen in NFL history. You don't know. And that's
where you go. Where'd that Can I go to school
or how did he end up there? It doesn't matter
(09:55):
as long as you end up in the NFL and
you get your chance, yes, Pauling.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
And what you're saying running backs, I just picked a
draft from a couple of years ago, twenty twenty two. Okay,
the best running backs from the twenty twenty two draft,
the three best James Cook middle of the second round,
having a very nice place, with kim Alot Kyen Williams
out of Notre Dame like the Rams, who's a fifth
round draft pick, he's basically almost free. And then Kenneth
Walker the third Super Bowl MVP taking the middle of
(10:21):
the second round. You don't need to draft a running
back high, and it's actually dangerous. But Jeremiah Love is different,
right like Bjonn Robinson. Yes, yeah, I would put him
on that level Jami or Gibbs. But he can be
a kick return I mean, Jeremiah Love. He ninety yards
(10:41):
like he's in scoring position when he's ninety yards out.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There aren't that many players in recent memory who are
in scoring position ninety yards out. But he's He's fascinating.
I just don't know if I would be taking him
if I'm Tennessee at number four, unless I am sold
that my offensive line is good.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yes, Pauline, Tennessee last season had the third worst rushing
offense in the league, so clearly they're looking to help it.
But you know what the worst rushing offense in the league,
the Las Vegas Raider.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, they're Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's about your offensive line, really is. And I think
what happens is I don't know if we're developing offensive
linemen that can play at the next level because college
is different than the NFL with the style that you're playing.
How many good teams are you playing but having a
great offensive line or guys who are really good at
(11:37):
playing their position, because we don't talk about that. We
talk about edge rushers, you'll talk about cornerbacks, you talk
about quarterbacks, wide receivers. It feels like that's the group
that we talk about, certainly quarterbacks, wide receivers, and then
the edge rusher, but we don't focus on is there
a plethora of really good offensive linemen And I don't
(11:58):
think that there are.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't know, and I've.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Talked to Ross Tucker about this before. Ross played offensive lineman.
But I don't know if we develop them with the
skill set to be ready to play in the NFL.
They're developed to play in college football. It's like, you know,
quarterbacks getting under center. These guys are having problems, like
Fernando Mendoza hasn't been under center. You're going to have
(12:23):
to learn how to be under center. But that's what's
kind of interesting, Like you couldn't play the position unless
you got under center. Now you're in a shotgun all
the time. But if you have an offensive coordinator or
a head coach where we want you to be under
(12:44):
center occasionally, you're not learning that in college. I don't
know how many quarterbacks played under center in college, even
for a few plays, because you'll hear a quarterback go, well,
I got to learn how to play under center. Well,
it is a learned skill.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You got.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You're at the line of scrimmage, you're calling your plays
and all of a sudden getting the ball now backing
up if you're going to throw seven yard drop, five
yard drop. But I always thought that quarterbacks would benefit
being under center because now play action is is more
deceptive that the you know, the defense can't really see
(13:23):
everything if you're in shotgun. I can see you when
you're going back to pass, and I like when you're
going back to pass because you're kind of going back
and surveying the entire field there. Now you might say, yeah,
but you still got to go back seven yards. You
got a plant step up in the pocket. But I
just thought, when you're under center, I can do a
(13:44):
lot of different things there. If I'm in the gun,
it's you know, if I hand the ball off, there's
no real deception there. And I always thought like Boomer
Sizin was wonderful with play play, fake play action. He
was great, one of the best that I ever saw.
And I always thought that that was such a benefit
for the offense, and you know, a detriment to the
(14:05):
defense because they're like, I can't really and these you know,
these running backs, if you're around them on the field,
they're like five to nine. Nobody's six feet tall. Eric
Dickerson is not coming through that door. But well, Derrick Henry,
he's coming.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Through the door.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
He's unique.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah he's daring breaking open down the door. But these
guys are small. Why not take advantage of that deception?
And Fernando Mendoza, Now you get Ashton Genty with a
legitimate quarterback, they'll bolster the offensive line. I got Brock
Bowers is my tight end. Now there's promise there. And
your head coach just won a Super Bowl with Seattle.
(14:44):
But these are all the things leading into the draft
that I'm always curious about the philosophy of what somebody
is looking at when they're looking at that player, and
who trades down. There's you might get gms making really
smart decisions this draft. Seaton brought this up earlier this morning.
He goes, there's no guy you're really gonna go. I'm
(15:05):
going to reach for that guy. It's man, We'll just
take that guy right there and that's it. Although we yes, yeah,
that's so fun.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
A shiny fun object over there, all right? Get the tackle?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, all right, So just some football there. H Randall
Shamblee is going to join us from Augusta. Get ready
for the Masters. I never thought i'd see this in
my lifetime where we would say this golfer against the
field versus the field. But this is where we are
with Scotty Scheffler. Scotty is entering that tiger. Hey, tiger
(15:44):
or the field, Scotty Scheffler on or the field. I'll
always take the field, even with Tiger. I had to
take the field, even though that that pick would come
back to haunt me pretty much all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Like damn, he did it again, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
But Scheffler and Woods are the opposite on the course.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It's like and off the course, right and off the course.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
But like Tiger would wear red on Sunday, Scotty Scheffler
would wear like a beige B neck on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Is beige V neck?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know the best thing that ever happened is when
he got arrested. Oh yeah, Scotty. Best thing that happened
when Scotty got arrested.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And a mystery.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes, do we know this guy, rebel man, he's got
a secret life.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I just had another kid. You know, probably has a
mini van, you know, two of them, Yeah, both beige.
All right, Randall Shamblee. He'll join us coming up next.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
We've been treated to a lot of drama in the
past calendar year. Go back to last year's Masters where
Rory was gonna win it, gonna lose it, gonna win it,
gonna lose it, wins it. You had the National Title
game in football that was awesome, World Series Game seven,
Blue Jays and the Dodgers. This year's National Title game
(17:48):
and men's basketball wasn't that great. But you know, we've
been treated to a lot of great stuff here.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Brandal Shamblee on loan from Golf Channel joining us in AUGUSTA.
I didn't think in my lifetime I'd ever say a
golfer against the field, but here we are. It feels
like with Scotty Scheffler. Is that fair to say it's
Scotty versus the field at the Masters?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I think he separated himself, not quite to the extent
that Tiger did. But to your point, I didn't think
i'd ever again in my lifetime see a golfer with
such complete control ty to green as Tiger Woods had.
And that's what we're talking about with Scotty. He's not
quite the putter that Tiger Woods was, so he doesn't
distance himself quite to the extent that Tiger did. But
I think that's a fair statement. Dan.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The familiarity of coming back to the same course. Now,
I know they change it, they tweak it, But is
that why Cinderella's stories don't usually happen at Augusta.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I think that's part of it. I think you know
Augustus such, it's a unique golf course. You don't play
Hillary Helly or golf course on the PGA Tour. Every
lies either above your feet or below your feet, So
you've got to have, for the most part, an upright
golf swing to pick it off those weird lies, and
you got to hit the ball so high to get
(19:07):
it to stop below the hole on those devilish greens.
So they're not that many people that can do those things.
They're just not that many people that also have a
blend of power and finesse around the green. It is
really a place where the best players go to show off,
and so there's not much room for anybody else. The
average world rank of a winner there the last ten
years is around ninth, So that's a trend in the
(19:30):
game of golf generally, but more specifically at Augusta.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I didn't know how Rory's game was going to react
after winning last year, because that's the exhale.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
That's when you can go out.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And just play now and nobody's going to say, hey,
you've done everything, but you haven't won the Masters. Well,
now he's won all those, he won the Grand Slam,
but i'ven't seen that exhale. Now I can go out
and just play.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Why, Well, I think he he's reset his goals. You know,
he kind of stated at it at the end of
last year. You know, he said he he wanted to
win on a way Ryder Cup. He said he wanted
to win the Grand Slam again. So he's sort of
reset his goals. You know, he's thirty six. The window
closes pretty fast. I mean, okay, he's in this era.
(20:20):
We've had Tom Brady and we've had Federer, and we've
had great examples of longevity in the game, and he
looks like he's headed in that direction. He's got great
team around him from a fitness standpoint, so maybe he's
got another ten years and if he does, maybe he
can win the Grand Slam again. And I think he's
I think he's hungry again. This week. He's you know,
he's certainly having a good time. He said. He he
said he could never wait for the Masters to start
(20:42):
in the past, and this one he wish would never start.
So he's really enjoying himself. I don't know if he'll
play with quite the intensity that he has because of
the you know, the enjoyment that he's getting out of
this week. So that's enough to make me, you know,
probably not pick him this week.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I don't know if PGA Tour can declare victory, but
it feels like that with Livetour that you know what,
there's no big names in the last two or three
years who've gone to Live and it just feels like
they're going to, you know, have their tournament, like the
fight is over. Maybe there's still curiosity there, But did
(21:20):
PGA Tour win?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
They did? Yeah? I mean even when live events are
broadcast in the United States, and even when they're broadcast
and finished in prime time on the East Coast, they
garner thirty five fifty thousand views. More people watch pickleball
than that on TV. So and these are the best players,
I mean Bryce of de Shambo, John Rohm playing on
the East Coast finishing then they're does not galvanize anybody
(21:45):
to watch them around the globe. They'll get a few
people out. They make it easy for people to come out.
But you know, brooks Kepka leaving Live Tour was a
boon for the PGA Tour, Patrick Reid leaving the Live
Tour was a boon for the dp World Tour. But
the peace and you know, if you listen to Bryce
of de Shambo, he's trying to play both sides against
(22:05):
the middle. He's asking supposedly for five hundred million dollars.
I don't think that now he's a going to bite there.
I think has a pretty much an inflated view of
his value because again, people don't watch him on TV.
They may go to his YouTube videos, but they're not
watching him on TV.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ris into Shamba Golf Channel leads studio analyst and Live
from the Masters Must see TV before and after the coverage.
You haven't said anything that's got you in trouble here
this week, have.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You No, I've been on my best behavior, Dan, Why
well I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't like that, you know, no drama there. I'm
always like, well, let's have brande on he said something.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
I ruffled a few feathers here or there. But you know,
there's there's decreasingly less controversy in the game of golf.
That's probably not good. It's better when we get a
little controversy. The great thing about Majors, Dan, is that
it does bring live players back, so you get this
sort of ryder cup. You know, Patrick Reree comes in
here playing Gary John Rahm comes in here on a tear,
(23:05):
and so does bryceon to Shamba, So it's likely we'll
have this great back and forth between one of them
and you know one of the popular players on the.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
PGA Tour A month ago, did you think Tiger was
playing in the Masters?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
I did you know? Well, two weeks ago, I thought
he was playing. I'd heard he was practicing, I heard
he was grinding away. Saw him hitting balls at the
TGL event. He looked, he looked okay, and Uh, yeah,
I thought he'd be here. It's it's sad, and I
think everybody in the sports world hopes he goes and
gets the help that he needs.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
What's his future as a golfer?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
You know, I just don't think he should play anymore personally,
I mean, you know, I mean, obviously he's a golfer.
He wants to get out there and he can play
the Champions Tour and get the cart and go play
with his best buddies, Fred Couples and Steve Stricker, who
that sounds really fun. But he's you know, he pushes
himself to his physical limits. So if he goes back
to practice and he goes back to grind, the same
(24:01):
thing's gonna happen. He's going to push himself to his
physical limits. He's going to get injured. It's going to
require surgery, it's going to require a prescription pain medicine,
and you know, it's hard not to imagine him getting
on that treadmill again. So he's done everything you could
ever possibly do in the game of golf. Every other
thing in the world is open to him, from designing
golf courses to the governance of the PGA Tour et cetera,
(24:22):
et cetera. So you know, personally, I you know, we
will miss him as a competitor, but he gave us
so much.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Dan. If Tiger never started lifting weights, finish that sentence.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
He would have probably won one hundred and twenty five
golf tournaments and twenty five majors. You know, if you
go back to when he was a wispy teenager and
Jack and Arnold played with him in a practice round
here I believe it was nineteen ninety five or six,
they said he's going to win more Masters titles than
us combined. Well, Jack won six, Arnold won five, so
they were predicting eleven plus Masters titles. He averaged three
(24:57):
hundred and forty six yards off the tee then, and
that was not with a solid core golf ball, and
that was not with one of these big headed long drivers.
Three hundred and forty six yards off of the tee.
That's what they saw in him. He traded speed for strength.
Maybe it helped him think he deserved it, Maybe it
helped him be intimidating. And you know, I'm sure he
wanted to treat golf like a sport. So but his
(25:21):
body broke down pretty quickly, and I don't. I just
don't know that he was training properly or he got
the proper rest. Either way, I don't think it did
him a whole lot of good.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I think he wanted to look like an athlete Brandle exactly.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I do too. You know, you could say that's vanity,
you could say, but when you look at him, he
was very intimidating, and you can't. I don't think we
can disregard the intimidation factor when when people would get
paired with Tiger, they would always say, you know, I
want to get paired with Tiger, and I'm like, well,
really do you? Because the cost of playing with Tiger
was okay. So if you got pair with Tiger on
(25:54):
Saturday and Sunday, and this was you know, when I
looked this up, maybe like two thousand and five, so
it was damn near a decade. If you got Parabi
on Saturday and Sunday, you were ostensibly playing as good
as golf as Tiger, Otherwise you wouldn't get paired with him.
And then the difference between what you had shot and
what you shot with Tiger was three and a half shots.
(26:15):
So the cost of playing with Tiger was three and
a half shots. There's never been a more intimidating golfer
than Tiger Woods.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, I think the vanity part of it as well.
You look at those old videos where you know the
shirt it's like draped on him. You know, now, if
you didn't know what he did for a living, you'd say,
is he a football player? I mean he looks like
he's a defensive back.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah, that's who he hangs out with. You know, those
are his buddies. And he did help turn this this
game into a sport. Rich Lerner told me he did
an outing with him like a year a year and
a half ago. He walked up to him and, you know,
patted him on the back. He said it was like
patting a piece of brink, Like he absolutely rock hard ripped.
(27:00):
And you know, he did make the sport look cool
and he looked awesome. And you know, you can't argue
with the record fifteen major championships in eighty two ternaments,
but the injuries changing his golf swing, this kept him
from being the all time major winner.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Was it worth it? Brandall?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I don't think so. But you know, if Tiger was
sitting here right now, you're an idiot. It was. It's
a sport, you got to train. And I'm saying training
is not necessary at all. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Why isn't Scotti, Scheffler jacked.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Scotty trains differently. I think they learned from the mistakes
that Tiger made in the gym.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Rory's jacked.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Rory trains differently though. You know, there's more big movements,
more fast movements. If you look at the exercises they
all do now is nothing like what Tiger used to do.
I mean, Tiger was on the cover of Fitness, Men's
Fitness or something and he went back and looked and
it was not the stuff. You know, you go along,
you learn, you learn how to train, and these guys
learn how to train for fluidity of movement and speed,
(28:04):
not necessarily. You know, Tiger looked like you could lift
a buick off of you, and these guys just look
like they could. You know, they look like speed swimmers.
They look more like gymnasts than Jim rats.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Have you ever been in the building during the Champions dinner? Now,
have you ever tried to look? Are there windows where
you can look into the Champions dinner?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Well?
Speaker 7 (28:25):
They they you know, before they go in there, they
have cocktails on the patio, so we have cameras leering
in it. Look, they're having an Azalia, who's having a
bourbon up there?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Why will you walk in and just grab like a
drink off of the waiters tray and you know, just
act like you belong there.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
I think I would be escorted off.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Problem.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
The last you ever seeing me go live from We're
always sitting on our set, man, just you know, antificating
about the menu and the wine and frivolous things like that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
When I played in the mid nineties and I went
into the player's locker room and you got to see
everybody's I wasn't supposed to go in there, I don't think,
but you see the name plates, and I remember looking
in Jack's locker. There were two green jackets in there,
so yeah, they it wasn't locked. And I just remember
(29:17):
I went in there and I was like, well, I'm here,
I might not get back. There wasn't any security, and
I thought, you.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Know what, why not?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean, I'm a big deal. I'm on Sports Center.
Of course they're not going to throw me out of
this place. But I remember looking in the locker room, like,
oh my god, I remember touching the jacket and like
I better get out of here.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
But they didn't. They showed me the wine cellar.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Now, I was told that you always wanted to get
an assessment, like you always wanted to get your letter,
because then it was a good thing to be told you, oh,
this this amount of money, because when you don't get it,
then you're not going to be coming back to Augusta.
So one guy says to me, the guy who was
my host was I don't know, he's probably seventy five
(30:07):
years of age. So his dad made him join many
many many years ago, and he said, somebody brought up,
why don't we have a wine cellar. Well, that guy
got a letter from Augusta saying you're going to pony
up for the wine cellar, because it was a makeshift
(30:27):
wine cellar.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I went down there. There was a large bottle.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Of champagne and it said ike, so it was Eisenhower
had some wine champagne down there, and there was no
wine cellar at Augusta. And this guy was told, you're
going to pay for the wine cellar.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
You know you're down there's probably when you know a gift,
you know, when he liberated France or something. It's rumored
to be the best wine cellar in the world. And yeah,
be careful what you wish for. You're likely to get
the bill for it.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
But if I don't know if he saw his menu, yeah,
and I don't know if you if you're a wine lover,
but if you're a wine lover and a buddy of
mine's got great Psalm friends and they were like, that's
the best wine list they've ever seen.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
A Champions dinner. Rory knows his why, Yes, and it was,
you know, they they they at Augusta Country Club where
we're at when we're getting ready for the show before
we go over to Augusta National, they recreated the Champions
dinner for us last night, minus the wine.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Is gonna say, was that a Chateau Lafitte?
Speaker 7 (31:31):
I think I had a duck horn in a load.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay, that's all right, all right? If not Scheffler, then who.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
If not Scheffler, you know, I would go with Ludwig Oberg. First.
Ludvig comes in here, you know, playing his rear off
the last three events, and I think because he hasn't won,
sort of keeps him hungry twice he's played at the Masters,
and he's finished second and seventh.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
And if not o Berg, I would go Cameron Young,
who's similarly. He comes in here playing his rear off.
Has played twice at Augustin finished seventh and ninth. And
then below that, just below that, I'd go Fleetwood and
Matthew Fitzpatrick. And if you're looking for a nice bet
on a first time or I'd go Chris.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Got her up, Yeah, got her up, played well. He
had a stretch there, played really well, oberg. He has
had three straight top five finishes.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
There you go. You got the cheap seat.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yes, I do. I did some homework here. Absolutely, we'll
be watching my best to rich Lerner and it's must
see TV live for the Masters. Before and after primetime
coverage Golf Channel recap analysis, Randall says, something that gets
you in trouble, Okay.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Okay, Dan, let's try take care.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
That's Randal shambly.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Lead golf analysts will take a break, your phone calls,
settle on a poll question, play of the day next.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Check this out.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Was airmail to the backstop. Uh oh, and now here
comes so Laire. They're gonna start to fight.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They're throwing blues.
Speaker 12 (33:26):
We got major differences here as they're throwing haymakers. And
now a big pile of the first base line. Jolaire
was hit by a pitch on the third inning, and
we got a riot.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Here in la courtesy of the Braves Radio network. That
was wild Solaria here a two run homer in the
first inning. Then he got drilled with a fastball in
his next plate appearance. And uh he's been hit four
times by Braves pictures in his career.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Oh man, I hate.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I hate when somebody homer's and the next time they
come up and the pitcher hits them. It's so cowardly
because pictures aren't going to be batting. But when you
see that and it looks obvious and the hitter knows
it's obvious, then it's game on. And you saw that
play of the day, by the way, I mean they
were U sue. Baseball fights are just sort of slow dancing.
(34:22):
It's like, you know, it's like a prom uh, But
that one had some people swinging. There was some action there.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yes, Paul, I'm watching back the clip of the fight
and Lopez, the pitcher for the Braves, he's fighting with
the ball in his right hand, his punching hand, and
he's got his mitts still on the other one like
he still wants to play during the fight.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So Laire homered in two of the four games against Atlanta,
which he was hit by a pitch. He also played
for the Braves in twenty twenty one again in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Yes, Todd, if you're afraid to face the batter just
to intentionally welcome signal and put them on base, to
try to put the guy's life or career in danger,
you don't know how you can control. You can hit
somebody in the face or something like that to put
them out several weeks unless something was said that record,
you know, And even then, you can't be throwing a
ninety mile an hour pitch at somebody's head or any part.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Of the hot.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You watched any baseball I've watched plenty of basics. Yeah, well,
this happens. They police themselves. This has happened for.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Decades.
Speaker 13 (35:36):
I don't care if someone said something, or there's a
bat flip where he stared at you, or he slowly
went around the bases and took an hour and a
half after the home run. Can't be throwing a pitch
at somebody.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Chris and Syracuse. Hi, Chris, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 8 (35:48):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (35:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Dan, I got a couple of things for you, and
I'd like to say to something to seat and if
I may. It took Geno till nine o'clock Tuesday night
to finally issue a real apology for something that occurred
four days earlier. Yeah, last night was not Geno apologizing.
That was the University of Connecticut making Geno apologize. And Dan,
yesterday you were talking with Jalen Rose about the popularity
(36:09):
of the name. Jalen, I know Nick's assistant coach Rick Brunson,
named his son Jalen Brunson after his good buddy before
mentioned Jalen Rose and also Dan. Yesterday you were talking
about Amari Stodhamar are getting into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 10 (36:21):
Dad.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Remember when you were interviewing Steve Nash and he was
on the Sun's Team Bust and he was questioning your
basketball shooting prowess and you said to him, just ask Dodemeyer.
He knows and Steve Nashell's out step Damn Patrick shoot it.
A couple of seconds later, Nash was like, yeah, well
e co six And it was great to hear that
Seaton will still be a big part of the Dan
(36:43):
Patrick Show and also expanding the Dan Patrick Show and
setan you mentioned that your son Karen is fifteen. It
seems like yesterday you were talking about being at a
house party and going on to the front porch for
a heater and you said you met this incredible girl
named Aaron and you were hooked. And I'm says smoking Snut.
Good for you and over the last twenty years, your
(37:04):
contributions and insights on the dam Pactors Show got better
and better, and your compassion on all social issues to
a lot of us is very inspiring. And I know,
I know you're not leaving, but I just want you
to know I'll miss you a lot.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
See, I appreciate that, think Chris, Chris, that means a
lot from a fellow like him. He's been there for
a long time, and yeah, there has been a lot
of life lived over the last twenty years.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Corey in Kansas City, Hi, Corey, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (37:35):
Oh jeesus, how I follow Chris up? Good morning, mister Patrick,
to you and the gentleman and Todd Marv Seaton, Wu
tang forever guys. A couple of Click Vegas team named
suggestions and then the comment to Seaton team named suggestions
is the Las Vegas deserts or perhaps in a shout
(37:56):
out to the old casino of the Las Vegas Mirage.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, we brought up Mirage as well, but that they
already have a Mirage Hotel, so that might be an
issue unless you partner with them. Thank you, Corey, Chris
and Sacramento, Hi Chris, Hey.
Speaker 14 (38:13):
Damn, thanks for taking my call. I too want to
say some of the scenes and I wanted to say
the contributions that he's done to the show is unseeakable
right from Strappensburg State and Jimmy Jimmerson and his last
is so timpageous in the way his insight is on
(38:35):
certain situations, how the positivity just comes in and he
did such a positive line light. There's no one like him. Man,
he will be missed on the show. I'm glad he's
not leading, but his contributions will be loosed.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Thank you. Chris Matt in Ohio.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
Hi Matt, Hey, guys, I'm just echoing the last couple
of callers.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
Set.
Speaker 10 (39:02):
That's the luck to you, man, I know you're gonna
do great things. And I also just wanted to give
the whole crew over their props because you guys.
Speaker 9 (39:13):
Are just your your your dudes, and you don't you're
not you don't have an agenda or anything like that,
and it's always been a pleasure to listen to and
just you guys are just awesome and Seed and I had.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
One question for you. If you have a walkout song
on your final day, what will that be?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Oh, you're gonna have a walkout song, good Gray? Or
is that an exit?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Is that an exit song?
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Exit? Sam Man?
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, I don't know. I hadn't I hadn't.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Thought of that.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Yes, the final segment instead of banging the drum, whatever
song Seeton chooses, do you do that for the final segment?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Yeah, okay, sure, figure it out.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I'll think I'll think about the final uh the walk
off song then.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Yeah, Paul Cea O'Connor is getting a little play as well.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Oh O'Connor, Cea O'Connor. Yeah, maybe morphing to Ceo O'Connor.
Coo O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
That was funny yesterday.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Now if you didn't hear yesterday, I know it got
picked up on social media. But Seaton still going to
be affiliated with the show. We're just trying to expand
the show and what we do, how we do it.
And Seaton has been kind of itching for this. He
thinks that there's a big future in the digital side
of things, and he'll still be out there at events
(40:34):
with us and occasionally appearing on the show. Dylan will
be sitting in his chair at least for the time being,
and give him an opportunity as well. One hour in
the books on these Wednesdays, on this Wednesday, these Wednesdays

bit later on in the program, if you would like
to join us, Operator tylers By, you'll take your phone calls.
Good morning if you're watching, if you're streaming on Peacock
or NBC Sports Network. Stat of the Day is always
(01:07):
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the DP Show and First Hour brought to you
by the great folks at Miller Lite. The picks will
be coming in Draft Night. Isn't just about who gets called,
It's about who shows up. Fernando Mendoza is not showing
up the number one overall pick. It's going to sit
this one out and be with his family. But for
(01:28):
the big moments, Miller lte legendary moments start with a
Miller like got to play the day, poll question, stat
of the Day, all of that forthcoming NBA final regular
season games. I mentioned Fernando Mendoza is going to sit
this one out, and I don't know, you know, it
might have to do with his mother not being able
(01:48):
to travel, but he wants to spend the time with
his family. I remember covering Barry Sanders at Barry Sanders
was going to be at home with his family. He
didn't go to the draft, but you know, Barry wasn't
the number one overall pick. Now, if I'm the NFL,
I'm like, okay, how do we get Fernando Mendoza. It's
like you go to a play opening night and the
(02:10):
star is not going to be there. He'll eventually be there,
but he's not going to be there that opening night.
And this draft is void of star's name recognition. You
have Jeremiah Love. Now he's the other big name, but
you know, this was about Fernando Mendoza. And if I'm
the Mothership and you want to have features, you know,
(02:31):
your lead up to the draft, the Raiders are on
the clock and Fernando Mendoza walking in with his family.
What's he wearing? And you know, then you get that opportunity,
get an interview with him. He gets drafted, he gets
to hug the commissioner, and then you talk to him
again after he gets drafted. So you get to spend
(02:51):
you know, a good hour on Fernando Mendoza leading in,
you know, to that first night of the draft. Speaking
of Jeremiah of I had him as a second on
my Heisman list. I thought he was wonderful this year.
I thought he was must see TV. Here's the problem
I have, and I guess it's a good problem. But
(03:14):
the Tennessee Titans at number four, they're the ones that
a lot of these mocked drabs have them. Taking Jeremiah Love,
the notre Dame running back, and while I love Jeremiah Love,
I don't want to take a running back unless I
know my team like that's the missing piece.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
This is why I thought the Giants taking Saquon Barkley.
It was this smart move. It was at the end
of Eli's career. I thought that they were ready to win,
and he was going to be that safety valve. He
was going to give you twelve hundred, fourteen hundred yards.
He was going to catch, you know, forty or fifty pounces,
and he was going to be a weapon. But if
you take him that high, you've got to make sure
(03:54):
that you're able to use him on a good team
because you don't build around a running back now. Years
and years and years ago, you could build around a
running back, but that's not the case anymore. The Raiders
they drafted Ashton genty, and while I loved watching him
in college, I didn't think he played well. I didn't
think he was a threat. He had nine hundred yards
(04:17):
nine to seventy five and he averaged a three point
seven yards per attempt number six pick. Overall, Well, he
might be the right guy. It just wasn't the right
time for him because the offensive line wasn't any good.
If I'm Tennessee, I think long and hard about Okay,
take Jeremiah Love. How is my offensive line? Because if
(04:39):
we're confident our line is pretty good, not average, then
take Jeremiah Love. But if you're not confident that that
line will be opening up holes for him, you're gonna
have him for four years and then you might be
getting better and then you're gonna have to pay him.
But if I'm taking Jeremiah Love, like Washington to is
(05:00):
the destination because they had a down year injuries, and
you put Jeremiah Love in there with Jayden Daniels. Now
we got something. We got something going on. But I
got to have the right team around him. It's just
like a quarterback, and I have to have the right
team ready to go for that running back. And I
don't know if Tennessee is that team right now, because
(05:22):
you might waste him and he gets you know, a
thousand yards, which isn't a big deal anymore, but a
thousand yards and your team wins, you know, six games.
But if you have that missing piece, and it's like, man,
I got a home run threat right there, because that's
the guy. Because if I'm the Titans. I have the
fourth pick. Do I trade out of that? Can I
(05:45):
trade out of that? Can I get alignment that I
think is worth that pick? And alignment makes more. You know,
we don't like when our team takes alignment a defensive
lineman an offensive lineman.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We like when you have that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Pick that everybody knows, Oh my god, mil Kuiper loved that.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's when you get some guy, you know, Jimmy Lipper
out of NC State, and you go, yeah. But then
you get to the playoffs and then all of a sudden,
they're saying, oh, this is how they built their team.
They got that center, and then they got this guard,
they got that tackling free agency. That's how you win championships,
That's how you advance in the playoffs. It's nice to
(06:25):
have the shiny pieces, but if they're covered up, you know,
the gold looks like pewter. And that's the big difference
I have with this going into this draft. Jeremiah Love
is a home run waiting to happen. But I got
to make sure that I have a team that can
allow him to hit home runs.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I think the best case scenario was
maybe ten or so years ago when the Cowboys drafted
Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall and he had a great offensive
line and he came out like Gangbusters, and I think
he led the league in rushing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
That's the time when you get a running back with
the fourth pick and the draft, when you have your
offensive line solidified already.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, and then they got to the next contract and
I said, don't re sign him. You got five years
out of him, let him go, and they re signed him.
But you know, the Titans with a new stadium, I mean,
you want to roll into this with some momentum. Cam Ward,
by all accounts, is a franchise quarterback. But the more
I look at these mock drafts, Jeremiah Love is probably
(07:24):
going to be a top five, top six, top seven pick.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I think the Commanders so they had seven and if
that's the case, I would gobble him up if I'm Washington.
But they're in a different position than Tennessee is. But
you know, this isn't one of those drafts where we're
going to look back on all the big names, even
the wide receivers, Like there are some wide receivers where
(07:48):
you go, oh, yeah, I remember that guy. This is
lacking star power, But that doesn't mean we won't look
back and go, yeah, they got that guy in whatever slot,
whatever round owned And it might be a guy that
is an offensive defensive lineman, maybe an edge rusher in
here who turns out to be great.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
But that's where it's tricky.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You know, we don't have the star power with quarterbacks,
and the quarterback is not showing up for the draft.
And ty Simpson is probably going to be a first
round pick, even though there are a lot of draft evaluators,
including my friend who said I don't have a first
round great on him. That doesn't mean he won't go
(08:29):
in the first round because there are people who still
looking at Arizona, the Jets or the Steelers. Those are
the three teams that everybody has been told they could
be drafting ty Simpson. So look, I'm going to the draft.
We're going to be there for three days in Pittsburgh.
We look forward to it. We love the atmosphere. You
get to talk football in April. Nothing wrong with that.
(08:51):
I just don't I don't know if the focus will
be completely on just the draft because you're going to
have to be introducing people to some of these players,
which is fine. I love doing that. If you find
that guy and you go keep an eye on him,
and it feels like every year where you go, man,
I love that guy. And this might be one of
those drafts where it's somebody you not quite sure about
(09:14):
or you haven't heard, but then you remember, oh my gosh,
yes they talked about him on Draft nine.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yes, Marv.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The NFL Draft ESPN, NFL Network. They got to put
a montage of defensive lineman making big plays in the
Super Bowl and in playoff games, just to let teams
know this is what wins championships because the name recognition
alone is not going to move the needle.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, you go back to Aaron Donald. When Aaron Donald
was taken, they didn't know what they had. They're like,
you got a short guy out of Pittsburgh and then
all of a sudden he became one of the best
defensive linemen in NFL history. You don't know. And that's
where you go. Where'd that Can I go to school
or how did he end up there? It doesn't matter
(09:55):
as long as you end up in the NFL and
you get your chance, yes, Pauling.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
And what you're saying running backs, I just picked a
draft from a couple of years ago, twenty twenty two. Okay,
the best running backs from the twenty twenty two draft,
the three best James Cook middle of the second round,
having a very nice place, with kim Alot Kyen Williams
out of Notre Dame like the Rams, who's a fifth
round draft pick, he's basically almost free. And then Kenneth
Walker the third Super Bowl MVP taking the middle of
(10:21):
the second round. You don't need to draft a running
back high, and it's actually dangerous. But Jeremiah Love is different,
right like Bjonn Robinson. Yes, yeah, I would put him
on that level Jami or Gibbs. But he can be
a kick return I mean, Jeremiah Love. He ninety yards
(10:41):
like he's in scoring position when he's ninety yards out.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There aren't that many players in recent memory who are
in scoring position ninety yards out. But he's He's fascinating.
I just don't know if I would be taking him
if I'm Tennessee at number four, unless I am sold
that my offensive line is good.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yes, Pauline, Tennessee last season had the third worst rushing
offense in the league, so clearly they're looking to help it.
But you know what the worst rushing offense in the league,
the Las Vegas Raider.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, they're Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's about your offensive line, really is. And I think
what happens is I don't know if we're developing offensive
linemen that can play at the next level because college
is different than the NFL with the style that you're playing.
How many good teams are you playing but having a
great offensive line or guys who are really good at
(11:37):
playing their position, because we don't talk about that. We
talk about edge rushers, you'll talk about cornerbacks, you talk
about quarterbacks, wide receivers. It feels like that's the group
that we talk about, certainly quarterbacks, wide receivers, and then
the edge rusher, but we don't focus on is there
a plethora of really good offensive linemen And I don't
(11:58):
think that there are.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't know, and I've.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Talked to Ross Tucker about this before. Ross played offensive lineman.
But I don't know if we develop them with the
skill set to be ready to play in the NFL.
They're developed to play in college football. It's like, you know,
quarterbacks getting under center. These guys are having problems, like
Fernando Mendoza hasn't been under center. You're going to have
(12:23):
to learn how to be under center. But that's what's
kind of interesting, Like you couldn't play the position unless
you got under center. Now you're in a shotgun all
the time. But if you have an offensive coordinator or
a head coach where we want you to be under
(12:44):
center occasionally, you're not learning that in college. I don't
know how many quarterbacks played under center in college, even
for a few plays, because you'll hear a quarterback go, well,
I got to learn how to play under center. Well,
it is a learned skill.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You got.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You're at the line of scrimmage, you're calling your plays
and all of a sudden getting the ball now backing
up if you're going to throw seven yard drop, five
yard drop. But I always thought that quarterbacks would benefit
being under center because now play action is is more
deceptive that the you know, the defense can't really see
(13:23):
everything if you're in shotgun. I can see you when
you're going back to pass, and I like when you're
going back to pass because you're kind of going back
and surveying the entire field there. Now you might say, yeah,
but you still got to go back seven yards. You
got a plant step up in the pocket. But I
just thought, when you're under center, I can do a
(13:44):
lot of different things there. If I'm in the gun,
it's you know, if I hand the ball off, there's
no real deception there. And I always thought like Boomer
Sizin was wonderful with play play, fake play action. He
was great, one of the best that I ever saw.
And I always thought that that was such a benefit
for the offense, and you know, a detriment to the
(14:05):
defense because they're like, I can't really and these you know,
these running backs, if you're around them on the field,
they're like five to nine. Nobody's six feet tall. Eric
Dickerson is not coming through that door. But well, Derrick Henry,
he's coming.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Through the door.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
He's unique.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah he's daring breaking open down the door. But these
guys are small. Why not take advantage of that deception?
And Fernando Mendoza, Now you get Ashton Genty with a
legitimate quarterback, they'll bolster the offensive line. I got Brock
Bowers is my tight end. Now there's promise there. And
your head coach just won a Super Bowl with Seattle.
(14:44):
But these are all the things leading into the draft
that I'm always curious about the philosophy of what somebody
is looking at when they're looking at that player, and
who trades down. There's you might get gms making really
smart decisions this draft. Seaton brought this up earlier this morning.
He goes, there's no guy you're really gonna go. I'm
(15:05):
going to reach for that guy. It's man, We'll just
take that guy right there and that's it. Although we yes, yeah,
that's so fun.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
A shiny fun object over there, all right? Get the tackle?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, all right, So just some football there. H Randall
Shamblee is going to join us from Augusta. Get ready
for the Masters. I never thought i'd see this in
my lifetime where we would say this golfer against the
field versus the field. But this is where we are
with Scotty Scheffler. Scotty is entering that tiger. Hey, tiger
(15:44):
or the field, Scotty Scheffler on or the field. I'll
always take the field, even with Tiger. I had to
take the field, even though that that pick would come
back to haunt me pretty much all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Like damn, he did it again, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
But Scheffler and Woods are the opposite on the course.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It's like and off the course, right and off the course.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
But like Tiger would wear red on Sunday, Scotty Scheffler
would wear like a beige B neck on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Is beige V neck?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know the best thing that ever happened is when
he got arrested. Oh yeah, Scotty. Best thing that happened
when Scotty got arrested.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And a mystery.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes, do we know this guy, rebel man, he's got
a secret life.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I just had another kid. You know, probably has a
mini van, you know, two of them, Yeah, both beige.
All right, Randall Shamblee. He'll join us coming up next.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
We've been treated to a lot of drama in the
past calendar year. Go back to last year's Masters where
Rory was gonna win it, gonna lose it, gonna win it,
gonna lose it, wins it. You had the National Title
game in football that was awesome, World Series Game seven,
Blue Jays and the Dodgers. This year's National Title game
(17:48):
and men's basketball wasn't that great. But you know, we've
been treated to a lot of great stuff here.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Brandal Shamblee on loan from Golf Channel joining us in AUGUSTA.
I didn't think in my lifetime I'd ever say a
golfer against the field, but here we are. It feels
like with Scotty Scheffler. Is that fair to say it's
Scotty versus the field at the Masters?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I think he separated himself, not quite to the extent
that Tiger did. But to your point, I didn't think
i'd ever again in my lifetime see a golfer with
such complete control ty to green as Tiger Woods had.
And that's what we're talking about with Scotty. He's not
quite the putter that Tiger Woods was, so he doesn't
distance himself quite to the extent that Tiger did. But
I think that's a fair statement. Dan.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The familiarity of coming back to the same course. Now,
I know they change it, they tweak it, But is
that why Cinderella's stories don't usually happen at Augusta.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I think that's part of it. I think you know
Augustus such, it's a unique golf course. You don't play
Hillary Helly or golf course on the PGA Tour. Every
lies either above your feet or below your feet, So
you've got to have, for the most part, an upright
golf swing to pick it off those weird lies, and
you got to hit the ball so high to get
(19:07):
it to stop below the hole on those devilish greens.
So they're not that many people that can do those things.
They're just not that many people that also have a
blend of power and finesse around the green. It is
really a place where the best players go to show off,
and so there's not much room for anybody else. The
average world rank of a winner there the last ten
years is around ninth, So that's a trend in the
(19:30):
game of golf generally, but more specifically at Augusta.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I didn't know how Rory's game was going to react
after winning last year, because that's the exhale.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
That's when you can go out.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And just play now and nobody's going to say, hey,
you've done everything, but you haven't won the Masters. Well,
now he's won all those, he won the Grand Slam,
but i'ven't seen that exhale. Now I can go out
and just play.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Why, Well, I think he he's reset his goals. You know,
he kind of stated at it at the end of
last year. You know, he said he he wanted to
win on a way Ryder Cup. He said he wanted
to win the Grand Slam again. So he's sort of
reset his goals. You know, he's thirty six. The window
closes pretty fast. I mean, okay, he's in this era.
(20:20):
We've had Tom Brady and we've had Federer, and we've
had great examples of longevity in the game, and he
looks like he's headed in that direction. He's got great
team around him from a fitness standpoint, so maybe he's
got another ten years and if he does, maybe he
can win the Grand Slam again. And I think he's
I think he's hungry again. This week. He's you know,
he's certainly having a good time. He said. He he
said he could never wait for the Masters to start
(20:42):
in the past, and this one he wish would never start.
So he's really enjoying himself. I don't know if he'll
play with quite the intensity that he has because of
the you know, the enjoyment that he's getting out of
this week. So that's enough to make me, you know,
probably not pick him this week.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I don't know if PGA Tour can declare victory, but
it feels like that with Livetour that you know what,
there's no big names in the last two or three
years who've gone to Live and it just feels like
they're going to, you know, have their tournament, like the
fight is over. Maybe there's still curiosity there, But did
(21:20):
PGA Tour win?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
They did? Yeah? I mean even when live events are
broadcast in the United States, and even when they're broadcast
and finished in prime time on the East Coast, they
garner thirty five fifty thousand views. More people watch pickleball
than that on TV. So and these are the best players,
I mean Bryce of de Shambo, John Rohm playing on
the East Coast finishing then they're does not galvanize anybody
(21:45):
to watch them around the globe. They'll get a few
people out. They make it easy for people to come out.
But you know, brooks Kepka leaving Live Tour was a
boon for the PGA Tour, Patrick Reid leaving the Live
Tour was a boon for the dp World Tour. But
the peace and you know, if you listen to Bryce
of de Shambo, he's trying to play both sides against
(22:05):
the middle. He's asking supposedly for five hundred million dollars.
I don't think that now he's a going to bite there.
I think has a pretty much an inflated view of
his value because again, people don't watch him on TV.
They may go to his YouTube videos, but they're not
watching him on TV.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ris into Shamba Golf Channel leads studio analyst and Live
from the Masters Must see TV before and after the coverage.
You haven't said anything that's got you in trouble here
this week, have.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You No, I've been on my best behavior, Dan, Why
well I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't like that, you know, no drama there. I'm
always like, well, let's have brande on he said something.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
I ruffled a few feathers here or there. But you know,
there's there's decreasingly less controversy in the game of golf.
That's probably not good. It's better when we get a
little controversy. The great thing about Majors, Dan, is that
it does bring live players back, so you get this
sort of ryder cup. You know, Patrick Reree comes in
here playing Gary John Rahm comes in here on a tear,
(23:05):
and so does bryceon to Shamba, So it's likely we'll
have this great back and forth between one of them
and you know one of the popular players on the.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
PGA Tour A month ago, did you think Tiger was
playing in the Masters?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
I did you know? Well, two weeks ago, I thought
he was playing. I'd heard he was practicing, I heard
he was grinding away. Saw him hitting balls at the
TGL event. He looked, he looked okay, and Uh, yeah,
I thought he'd be here. It's it's sad, and I
think everybody in the sports world hopes he goes and
gets the help that he needs.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
What's his future as a golfer?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
You know, I just don't think he should play anymore personally,
I mean, you know, I mean, obviously he's a golfer.
He wants to get out there and he can play
the Champions Tour and get the cart and go play
with his best buddies, Fred Couples and Steve Stricker, who
that sounds really fun. But he's you know, he pushes
himself to his physical limits. So if he goes back
to practice and he goes back to grind, the same
(24:01):
thing's gonna happen. He's going to push himself to his
physical limits. He's going to get injured. It's going to
require surgery, it's going to require a prescription pain medicine,
and you know, it's hard not to imagine him getting
on that treadmill again. So he's done everything you could
ever possibly do in the game of golf. Every other
thing in the world is open to him, from designing
golf courses to the governance of the PGA Tour et cetera,
(24:22):
et cetera. So you know, personally, I you know, we
will miss him as a competitor, but he gave us
so much.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Dan. If Tiger never started lifting weights, finish that sentence.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
He would have probably won one hundred and twenty five
golf tournaments and twenty five majors. You know, if you
go back to when he was a wispy teenager and
Jack and Arnold played with him in a practice round
here I believe it was nineteen ninety five or six,
they said he's going to win more Masters titles than
us combined. Well, Jack won six, Arnold won five, so
they were predicting eleven plus Masters titles. He averaged three
(24:57):
hundred and forty six yards off the tee then, and
that was not with a solid core golf ball, and
that was not with one of these big headed long drivers.
Three hundred and forty six yards off of the tee.
That's what they saw in him. He traded speed for strength.
Maybe it helped him think he deserved it, Maybe it
helped him be intimidating. And you know, I'm sure he
wanted to treat golf like a sport. So but his
(25:21):
body broke down pretty quickly, and I don't. I just
don't know that he was training properly or he got
the proper rest. Either way, I don't think it did
him a whole lot of good.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I think he wanted to look like an athlete Brandle exactly.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I do too. You know, you could say that's vanity,
you could say, but when you look at him, he
was very intimidating, and you can't. I don't think we
can disregard the intimidation factor when when people would get
paired with Tiger, they would always say, you know, I
want to get paired with Tiger, and I'm like, well,
really do you? Because the cost of playing with Tiger
was okay. So if you got pair with Tiger on
(25:54):
Saturday and Sunday, and this was you know, when I
looked this up, maybe like two thousand and five, so
it was damn near a decade. If you got Parabi
on Saturday and Sunday, you were ostensibly playing as good
as golf as Tiger, Otherwise you wouldn't get paired with him.
And then the difference between what you had shot and
what you shot with Tiger was three and a half shots.
(26:15):
So the cost of playing with Tiger was three and
a half shots. There's never been a more intimidating golfer
than Tiger Woods.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, I think the vanity part of it as well.
You look at those old videos where you know the
shirt it's like draped on him. You know, now, if
you didn't know what he did for a living, you'd say,
is he a football player? I mean he looks like
he's a defensive back.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah, that's who he hangs out with. You know, those
are his buddies. And he did help turn this this
game into a sport. Rich Lerner told me he did
an outing with him like a year a year and
a half ago. He walked up to him and, you know,
patted him on the back. He said it was like
patting a piece of brink, Like he absolutely rock hard ripped.
(27:00):
And you know, he did make the sport look cool
and he looked awesome. And you know, you can't argue
with the record fifteen major championships in eighty two ternaments,
but the injuries changing his golf swing, this kept him
from being the all time major winner.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Was it worth it? Brandall?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I don't think so. But you know, if Tiger was
sitting here right now, you're an idiot. It was. It's
a sport, you got to train. And I'm saying training
is not necessary at all. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Why isn't Scotti, Scheffler jacked.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Scotty trains differently. I think they learned from the mistakes
that Tiger made in the gym.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Rory's jacked.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Rory trains differently though. You know, there's more big movements,
more fast movements. If you look at the exercises they
all do now is nothing like what Tiger used to do.
I mean, Tiger was on the cover of Fitness, Men's
Fitness or something and he went back and looked and
it was not the stuff. You know, you go along,
you learn, you learn how to train, and these guys
learn how to train for fluidity of movement and speed,
(28:04):
not necessarily. You know, Tiger looked like you could lift
a buick off of you, and these guys just look
like they could. You know, they look like speed swimmers.
They look more like gymnasts than Jim rats.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Have you ever been in the building during the Champions dinner? Now,
have you ever tried to look? Are there windows where
you can look into the Champions dinner?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Well?
Speaker 7 (28:25):
They they you know, before they go in there, they
have cocktails on the patio, so we have cameras leering
in it. Look, they're having an Azalia, who's having a
bourbon up there?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Why will you walk in and just grab like a
drink off of the waiters tray and you know, just
act like you belong there.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
I think I would be escorted off.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Problem.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
The last you ever seeing me go live from We're
always sitting on our set, man, just you know, antificating
about the menu and the wine and frivolous things like that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
When I played in the mid nineties and I went
into the player's locker room and you got to see
everybody's I wasn't supposed to go in there, I don't think,
but you see the name plates, and I remember looking
in Jack's locker. There were two green jackets in there,
so yeah, they it wasn't locked. And I just remember
(29:17):
I went in there and I was like, well, I'm here,
I might not get back. There wasn't any security, and
I thought, you.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Know what, why not?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean, I'm a big deal. I'm on Sports Center.
Of course they're not going to throw me out of
this place. But I remember looking in the locker room, like,
oh my god, I remember touching the jacket and like
I better get out of here.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
But they didn't. They showed me the wine cellar.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Now, I was told that you always wanted to get
an assessment, like you always wanted to get your letter,
because then it was a good thing to be told you, oh,
this this amount of money, because when you don't get it,
then you're not going to be coming back to Augusta.
So one guy says to me, the guy who was
my host was I don't know, he's probably seventy five
(30:07):
years of age. So his dad made him join many
many many years ago, and he said, somebody brought up,
why don't we have a wine cellar. Well, that guy
got a letter from Augusta saying you're going to pony
up for the wine cellar, because it was a makeshift
(30:27):
wine cellar.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I went down there. There was a large bottle.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Of champagne and it said ike, so it was Eisenhower
had some wine champagne down there, and there was no
wine cellar at Augusta. And this guy was told, you're
going to pay for the wine cellar.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
You know you're down there's probably when you know a gift,
you know, when he liberated France or something. It's rumored
to be the best wine cellar in the world. And yeah,
be careful what you wish for. You're likely to get
the bill for it.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
But if I don't know if he saw his menu, yeah,
and I don't know if you if you're a wine lover,
but if you're a wine lover and a buddy of
mine's got great Psalm friends and they were like, that's
the best wine list they've ever seen.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
A Champions dinner. Rory knows his why, Yes, and it was,
you know, they they they at Augusta Country Club where
we're at when we're getting ready for the show before
we go over to Augusta National, they recreated the Champions
dinner for us last night, minus the wine.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Is gonna say, was that a Chateau Lafitte?
Speaker 7 (31:31):
I think I had a duck horn in a load.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay, that's all right, all right? If not Scheffler, then who.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
If not Scheffler, you know, I would go with Ludwig Oberg. First.
Ludvig comes in here, you know, playing his rear off
the last three events, and I think because he hasn't won,
sort of keeps him hungry twice he's played at the Masters,
and he's finished second and seventh.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
And if not o Berg, I would go Cameron Young,
who's similarly. He comes in here playing his rear off.
Has played twice at Augustin finished seventh and ninth. And
then below that, just below that, I'd go Fleetwood and
Matthew Fitzpatrick. And if you're looking for a nice bet
on a first time or I'd go Chris.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Got her up, Yeah, got her up, played well. He
had a stretch there, played really well, oberg. He has
had three straight top five finishes.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
There you go. You got the cheap seat.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yes, I do. I did some homework here. Absolutely, we'll
be watching my best to rich Lerner and it's must
see TV live for the Masters. Before and after primetime
coverage Golf Channel recap analysis, Randall says, something that gets
you in trouble, Okay.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Okay, Dan, let's try take care.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
That's Randal shambly.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Lead golf analysts will take a break, your phone calls,
settle on a poll question, play of the day next.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Check this out.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Was airmail to the backstop. Uh oh, and now here
comes so Laire. They're gonna start to fight.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They're throwing blues.
Speaker 12 (33:26):
We got major differences here as they're throwing haymakers. And
now a big pile of the first base line. Jolaire
was hit by a pitch on the third inning, and
we got a riot.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Here in la courtesy of the Braves Radio network. That
was wild Solaria here a two run homer in the
first inning. Then he got drilled with a fastball in
his next plate appearance. And uh he's been hit four
times by Braves pictures in his career.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Oh man, I hate.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I hate when somebody homer's and the next time they
come up and the pitcher hits them. It's so cowardly
because pictures aren't going to be batting. But when you
see that and it looks obvious and the hitter knows
it's obvious, then it's game on. And you saw that
play of the day, by the way, I mean they
were U sue. Baseball fights are just sort of slow dancing.
(34:22):
It's like, you know, it's like a prom uh, But
that one had some people swinging. There was some action there.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yes, Paul, I'm watching back the clip of the fight
and Lopez, the pitcher for the Braves, he's fighting with
the ball in his right hand, his punching hand, and
he's got his mitts still on the other one like
he still wants to play during the fight.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So Laire homered in two of the four games against Atlanta,
which he was hit by a pitch. He also played
for the Braves in twenty twenty one again in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Yes, Todd, if you're afraid to face the batter just
to intentionally welcome signal and put them on base, to
try to put the guy's life or career in danger,
you don't know how you can control. You can hit
somebody in the face or something like that to put
them out several weeks unless something was said that record,
you know, And even then, you can't be throwing a
ninety mile an hour pitch at somebody's head or any part.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Of the hot.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You watched any baseball I've watched plenty of basics. Yeah, well,
this happens. They police themselves. This has happened for.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Decades.
Speaker 13 (35:36):
I don't care if someone said something, or there's a
bat flip where he stared at you, or he slowly
went around the bases and took an hour and a
half after the home run. Can't be throwing a pitch
at somebody.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Chris and Syracuse. Hi, Chris, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 8 (35:48):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (35:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Dan, I got a couple of things for you, and
I'd like to say to something to seat and if
I may. It took Geno till nine o'clock Tuesday night
to finally issue a real apology for something that occurred
four days earlier. Yeah, last night was not Geno apologizing.
That was the University of Connecticut making Geno apologize. And Dan,
yesterday you were talking with Jalen Rose about the popularity
(36:09):
of the name. Jalen, I know Nick's assistant coach Rick Brunson,
named his son Jalen Brunson after his good buddy before
mentioned Jalen Rose and also Dan. Yesterday you were talking
about Amari Stodhamar are getting into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 10 (36:21):
Dad.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Remember when you were interviewing Steve Nash and he was
on the Sun's Team Bust and he was questioning your
basketball shooting prowess and you said to him, just ask Dodemeyer.
He knows and Steve Nashell's out step Damn Patrick shoot it.
A couple of seconds later, Nash was like, yeah, well
e co six And it was great to hear that
Seaton will still be a big part of the Dan
(36:43):
Patrick Show and also expanding the Dan Patrick Show and
setan you mentioned that your son Karen is fifteen. It
seems like yesterday you were talking about being at a
house party and going on to the front porch for
a heater and you said you met this incredible girl
named Aaron and you were hooked. And I'm says smoking Snut.
Good for you and over the last twenty years, your
(37:04):
contributions and insights on the dam Pactors Show got better
and better, and your compassion on all social issues to
a lot of us is very inspiring. And I know,
I know you're not leaving, but I just want you
to know I'll miss you a lot.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
See, I appreciate that, think Chris, Chris, that means a
lot from a fellow like him. He's been there for
a long time, and yeah, there has been a lot
of life lived over the last twenty years.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Corey in Kansas City, Hi, Corey, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (37:35):
Oh jeesus, how I follow Chris up? Good morning, mister Patrick,
to you and the gentleman and Todd Marv Seaton, Wu
tang forever guys. A couple of Click Vegas team named
suggestions and then the comment to Seaton team named suggestions
is the Las Vegas deserts or perhaps in a shout
(37:56):
out to the old casino of the Las Vegas Mirage.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, we brought up Mirage as well, but that they
already have a Mirage Hotel, so that might be an
issue unless you partner with them. Thank you, Corey, Chris
and Sacramento, Hi Chris, Hey.
Speaker 14 (38:13):
Damn, thanks for taking my call. I too want to
say some of the scenes and I wanted to say
the contributions that he's done to the show is unseeakable
right from Strappensburg State and Jimmy Jimmerson and his last
is so timpageous in the way his insight is on
(38:35):
certain situations, how the positivity just comes in and he
did such a positive line light. There's no one like him. Man,
he will be missed on the show. I'm glad he's
not leading, but his contributions will be loosed.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Thank you. Chris Matt in Ohio.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
Hi Matt, Hey, guys, I'm just echoing the last couple
of callers.

just you guys are just awesome and Seed and I had.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
One question for you. If you have a walkout song
on your final day, what will that be?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Oh, you're gonna have a walkout song, good Gray? Or
is that an exit?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Is that an exit song?
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Exit? Sam Man?
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, I don't know. I hadn't I hadn't.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Thought of that.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Yes, the final segment instead of banging the drum, whatever
song Seeton chooses, do you do that for the final segment?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Yeah, okay, sure, figure it out.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I'll think I'll think about the final uh the walk
off song then.

Yeah, Paul Cea O'Connor is getting a little play as well.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Oh O'Connor, Cea O'Connor. Yeah, maybe morphing to Ceo O'Connor.

Now if you didn't hear yesterday, I know it got
picked up on social media. But Seaton still going to
be affiliated with the show. We're just trying to expand
the show and what we do, how we do it.
And Seaton has been kind of itching for this. He
thinks that there's a big future in the digital side
of things, and he'll still be out there at events

be sitting in his chair at least for the time being,
and give him an opportunity as well. One hour in
