(01:11):
Good morning, those watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading
the app and our radio affiliates around the country. Let
me start with Scottie Scheffler rolling to the Open championship
at seventeen under. This isn't about his greatness, because we
can talk about that, we have talked about that, but
this is the personality attached to the greatness. And this
(01:33):
has happened before. You know, the Spurs were labeled boring
because Tim Duncan played a boring brand of basketball. Pete
Sampras didn't really have a personality. He was the face,
the focal point of men's tennis. Mike Trout for a
long time in baseball. Boy, he's so great. So this
is what we're asking for now, growing up in a
(01:54):
different generation, if you're of similar age. We didn't ask
that of our celebrities. We didn't ask that of our athletes.
It was like, they do something really well, and we
appreciate that. Times have changed. Now you've got to sell
a sport and a lot of times these athletes are
selling themselves. You're selling a product. There's a lot more
involved in this. But this will sound like we're denigrating
(02:17):
Scotty Scheffler, and we're not. We're just stating the facts.
He plays a very impressive game of golf, but we've
gotten used to Tiger Woods. Well, Tiger wasn't a interesting personality.
His interviews weren't very good. He just played in a
way in a style that we had never seen before.
(02:38):
It's like, oh my gosh, did you see that? And
he started at age two when he was on the
Mike Douglas Show. We had watched him grow up right
in front of us. Then all of a sudden, you're
watching him dominate the sport, and he dominated in a
way that we hadn't seen, well, we hadn't seen since
Jack Nicholas. Now, nobody ever said is Jack Nicholas got
a good personality when he was dominating Arnold Palmer had
(03:00):
a great personality, but he wasn't the golfer that Jack
Nicholas was. Tom Watson great golfer. I don't know if
anybody said, man, but what about his personality? It's different
now because social media and what you're selling and how
you're selling it. And I'm watching Scotty Scheffler and he
just is methodical. This is what he does. Nothing's changing,
(03:22):
this is the way he's going to play. This is
who he is now. He did show personality at the
end on eighteen when it came to his family. I'm
not asking him, you know, to be ready for Broadway,
and he wants to share great. But I've interviewed thousands
of athletes in my career. Some have it, some don't,
some will never have it. Bryce and De Shamba had
(03:44):
a personality transformation all of a sudden. He went from
you know, the heel in wrestling to the good guy.
He's high five in the gallery and he wants to
be loved, even though he's on the live tour and
you don't get to see much of him. But Scotty Scheffler,
this is who he is. And if you enjoy just
somebody going out and being very very good at what
(04:05):
they do, no frills, there you go. You got it.
And the numbers I know, you know, for such a
long period of time, and for the most part when
I was at Sports Center, we're waiting for the next Jordan. Oh,
who's the next Jordan, Tracy mcgrady's the next Jordan, Penny Hardaway,
Grant Hill, Nobody's the next, Nobody's the next Tiger Woods.
(04:29):
Scotti Scheffler can match him, surpass him in some categories.
Here he's not Tiger, he's not Jack, he's not Arnie.
But that's okay because there isn't another Jack Nicholas. There
isn't another Tiger Woods. There isn't another Arnold Palmer. And
that's where you have to accept what you're seeing because
(04:50):
when it comes to golf, we got spoiled for a
long period of time because people tuned in to see
Tiger Woods. We had once again not seen that style,
that personality, the expression, like his personality was on the
golf course, off the course. Not a good interview. It's
like Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter famously went out of his
(05:12):
way to not say anything, but he made you feel
good when he didn't tell you anything. But he was
just a great baseball player. Certain athletes, you know, Mike Trout,
we've had him on. We even said to the commissioner,
you know, do you go out of your way to
encourage Mike Trout to be more of a personality to
be more out there, ready to be interviewed, be the
focal point. Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, he said,
(05:36):
I don't want to be the face of the league.
There's a lot that goes along with that. Hey, I'm
just a charismatic basketball player. Okay, is that good enough
for this for us? I should say, because it feels
like with Scotti Scheffler, we're going yeah, but okay, what
is the yeah? But there's no personality. You can't put
(05:58):
that in your bag when you've got on the golf course.
This is just who he's going to be. So appreciate
it for what it is, for who he is and
who he's trying to be, and that is himself. Here's
Jordan's speed, Scotti Scheffler's good friend. On Scheffler's personality.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
He doesn't care to be a superstar. He's not transcending
the game like Tiger did. He's not bringing it to
non golf audience necessarily. He doesn't want to go do
you know the stuff that you know a lot of
us go do corporately, anything like that. He just wants
to get away from the game and separate the two
because I know that he you know, at one time
felt it was too much. Who's taking it with him?
(06:39):
And you know whenever he made that switch, I don't
know when it was, but you know, to have his hobbies,
he's always with his family. You know, they're always doing stuff.
I think it's more so the difference in personality from
any other superstar that you've seen in the modern era,
and maybe any sport.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It doesn't define him. He said that at a press conference.
Winning or losing golf doesn't define me, and I'm fine
with that, you know, Joker. I don't think basketball defines him.
I think that's just who he is. Remember the big
rivalry with Andrea Agassy and Pete Sampress. You know, Agacy
(07:16):
it was style over substance and had his own shoe
and he had the nikon camera. Pete Sampress didn't care
about any of that stuff. But that's who he was,
who he is. Even now you don't see him, but
Andre Agassy you'll see him doing tennis commentary. So I
(07:36):
think we're going to be asking for something and it's
not going to be there. Here's the one thing that
I kept an eye on, and that is Scotti Scheffler.
When he's putting. That's what I want to know. You
win tournaments, lose tournaments inside ten feet. There was a
while that Tiger I don't think missed a six foot
putt in years. But that's where you have supreme confidence
(08:00):
and you have concentration. Scheffler from inside ten feet over
four days, had sixty three puts inside ten feet. He
made fifty nine of the sixty three. You will not
beat him. You will not. No one will beat him
if he plays that way. No one. Now, you'll get guys.
There's always going to be somebody comes out of nowhere.
(08:21):
That's what happened with Tiger. I mean, look at some
of his great matches. They weren't against great golfers. You're like, Okay,
that guy's stepping up and he's gonna take him, take
him to you know, at least make an interesting on
the final day. And you saw that yesterday. There are
some really good golfers. But is Justin Thomas Have we
(08:44):
seen the best of him? Jordan Spieth, like from age
twenty one to twenty four, have we seen the best
of him? Ricky Fowler, we've seen the best of him.
So who is it? Who's the next guy? And there
will be two or three that will be up on that.
They'll be on the leader board in and week out,
because a lot of times you watch the leaderboard and
you go, who's that? And I follow it. Who's that?
(09:07):
But Scotty Scheffler's playing. I'm looking at the odds to
win the four majors next year, Masters plus three hundred,
PGA Championship plus three fifty US Open plus three twenty
the Open Championship plus three hundred. I mean he's getting
into the Tiger category? Is he Tiger? No? But could
(09:27):
he have the same results as Tiger? Could he put
up similar numbers? What was the stat that they had
from his first to his fourth major? It was like
one thy one and ninety seven days, exactly the same
number of days in between tigers first and his fourth.
(09:48):
By the way, Scheffler may look like he's thirty five,
but he's twenty. He just turned twenty nine years of vague.
Come on, he's here, he's staying. Yes, Yes, that's a
that's an old look. All right, let's come up with
a pole question once again introducing our starting lineup. But
Fritzie is back from his European vacation. Uh Seaton Marv
(10:09):
Paulie uh Seaton, you're gonna do the honors with the
pole question today.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, we're gonna use one of Marvin's here that he
sent over. Most reluctant superstar ever, Scotti Scheffler, obviously, Tim Duncan,
he was a reluctant superstar.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yes he was.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Pete Sampress, Yeah, wasn't reluctant superstar. We also have room
for other if we'd like.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So you have Mike Trout, Tim Duncan, Pete Samprass, Oh,
Mike trapped.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yep. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I don't know if Scotty's reluctant. I just don't know it. Hmm.
That's a that's a tricky word. Reluctant. That means are
you you don't want to share, or you can't share,
you don't want to reveal anything. So I think reluctant
(11:03):
that's an interesting word to attach to this.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Anybody unwilling and hesitant, disinclined as a scening of Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't know if he's unwilling. I just he might
not be able to talk about himself or share, or
maybe there's nothing really interesting to tell you, you know,
it's just he even talked about yesterday. He goes, you know,
if I go to Chipotle by my house, I'm swarmed.
But if I go to another Chipotle, and trust me,
(11:35):
I'm not going to tell you where that is. Nobody
bothers me like okay, Like wow, you can't go into
a Chipotle. Yes, Marvin, you.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Always talk about the difference between being a great player
and a superstar. The players that I mentioned in the
pole question, they're great players. They don't want to be superstars.
They want to do their job and they want to
go home. So I think that's the big difference.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
He is almost like asking more of our our stars.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Now we're saying now, trust me. There are players athletes
who are overrated because of their personalities, Like they're a
great personality, but there they don't live up to the
personality as far as performance goes.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yes, Mark, It's almost like Odell Beckham was a bigger
start than Julio Jones, but Julio Jones was definitely the
better wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Ray is that a better comparison?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yes, that's good now I like that.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Um.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
It made for a frustrating Sunday and it should have
been a celebration of You know, he was like Katie
Ledecki swimming out there on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
It was everyone was in his wake.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
The guy was I think he was six shots clear
on the turn and he just parted his way home
and he did it so measured and calm. He and
his caddy are having casual conversations about their lie, like
it's another the Honda Open and it should be more celebrated.
How but it made for a right word here, a
non compelling TV experience yesterday for golf fans and non
(13:07):
golf fans. And it's not Scottie Schuffer's fault that he's
that great, but.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It feels like we want to blame somebody for this.
He ruined our Sunday.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
He ruined our Sunday by being so awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:24):

(13:44):
Got some football to talk about? Coming up next hour,
rich Lerner will join us from Across the Pond courtesy
of Gold Channel a little bit later on Glad to
be Back. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 10 (14:12):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
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 list lame in me.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Well, you know what it's called over promise.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
You should be good at it because you've been over
promising women for years.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Well, it's a Cavino 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 10 (14:47):
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

There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Age seven seven three DP show as we do every Monday,
best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that
you liked you didn't like. We have an alternate Scottie
Scheffler poll question that didn't take long twenty two minutes
into the show, and we're changing maybe the wording on
our poll question. All right, Paul, what's the alternate of
(15:30):
Scottie Scheffler?
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Already it's worded this way for the PGA tour, Scotti
Scheffler is awesome.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Or an issue.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
My reasoning is, like the best player in the sport,
clearly the best player in the sport and probably going forward,
is not engaged in the star power process and not
compelling TV, compelling as a golfer, not compelling as a personality.
You interviewed Commissioner Manfred A. Day to go about this
issue with Mike Trout, and he said it was an
(16:04):
air quotes issue for MLB somewhat similar.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I think issue is strong. I think it's too strong
of a word, because you're you are seeing somebody great,
though how often does that person come along a lot
of these guys, it's it's a two or three year window.
If there's consistency with Scottie Scheffler with greatness, then that's
great for the game. If you know that he could
(16:31):
be a meteor, he could be, you know, a shooting star,
and then all of a sudden, we've seen this two, three,
four years, then it's gone sustainability. I mean, that's that's
the mark of greatness. That's what you know Tiger was
able to do. Nick Foudell, Greg Norman, Nicholas Palmer. It's
it's not five years, it's a decade. It's two decades.
(16:53):
That's what I'm curious about. I can't ask him to
be something that he's not. He's not, writes into Shambo.
But then Bryson de Schambeau is not Scotty Scheffler. And
I think we got spoiled with Tiger because Tiger gave
you highlights. Scotty doesn't hit it farther than anybody. He
doesn't do anything where you go, Oh my god, did
you see that? It's all right, here's a little baby
(17:15):
cut down the middle of the fairway. All right, he's
seven feet away. Okay, he made a birdie on to
the next hole. That's Scotty Scheffler. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Not only does Scotty not do anything like super remarkable
like you said, when he's playing, other than consistently play well,
he doesn't even celebrate when he wins. Tiger at least
gave you a fist pump and you were like, hell, yeah, dude,
look at this.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Dude is pumped.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Scotty Scheffler barely his pulse barely got above Like I don't.
It was just categorized as a living.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, he walked over. He's something like a foot and
a half punt. He picked up the ball, walked over,
kind of took his hat off real quick, shook a
hand shook a hand, shook a hand, then just walked
off and was like, Okay, I won that one too.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Get excited when he saw his wife and kids. He
got excited when he saw them, and I was like, wow,
which is weird anyway, Yeah, I mean I react when
I see my wife like that.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
You know, yes, Pong, He's gotten so good at the
sport where he doesn't miss fairways or greens and put
himself into the position to have a remarkable recovery shot
like a Bubba Watson in a straw or Phil Mickelson
where they have to hit it two forty five with
a four iron. He is so measured the entire time.
It's like it's like watching Joe Montana play football without
(18:38):
the violence.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And you know, you got a guy like Jordan Spieth
who's always in trouble off the tea and always hitting
recovery shots. Michelson famously always doing that, and you're going, oh,
he's a magician. Semi bi Astero's oh he's a magician. Well,
he's a magician because he put himself in a bad place.
Vroley doesn't do that. It's like, oh, he's in the
(19:01):
first cut. Oh, what's wrong? With him. Meanwhile, Rory's hitting
the ball in the rough and finds out there's a
ball underneath his ball. That was crazy weird it was
he's in the rough. How would you like to be
the that there's a guy who probably played that hole
who knows how long ago? And he's like, you know,
(19:23):
I lost. I lost my ball on the fourteenth, kind
of in that same area. And then Rory hits his
shot and the other ball pops up, and I'm like,
oh my gosh, yes, Todd.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Wouldn't it be helpful?
Speaker 12 (19:34):
I know you don't need a bad guy like wrestling,
but if he was a little bit cocky or a
little bit arrogant like de Chambeau used to be, where
you can kind of be rooting against him for those
that aren't chefler fans to go, I can't wait to
see this guy finally lose and get embarrassed after all
these wins. I was beating everybody by several strokes.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well, I don't know, do you want a villain? I
think the tour guys or the villains, Well, you're not
going to get it from him. He's not a villain.
He's just he's sort of like Andy Griffith, you know
from Mayberry. He's just a nice he's a nice sheriff.
That's all we need. Who do you think you are
in jail?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
That's what we need, Chef to say.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Now, yeah, that that's not going to happen. He's just
a nice guy. He sees the sheriff of Mayberry and
he'll put you behind bars and then he'll let you
out and he'll feed your lunch, maybe bring you over
for dinner. That's just kind of who he is. Kelly
in Kansas, Hi, Kelly, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (20:30):
IDP HI dmn's this Through the weekend I have for you.
I got to try out my new panel board that
my friend gave me for my birthday. Worst of the
weekend was realizing that Todd Taylor Fritz got to go
to Wimbledon. That's on my bucket list, have been to
the US Open. But I have a question for you Dan. Okay,
(20:55):
we've been watching Waiting Up the Happy gal More too,
and we were watching the growth that movie. I just
wondered if you were the actor that got pushed down
the water slide and climbed the gym rope, or if
you had a send numbers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I was pushed down the slide. I went down the slide,
but we did a couple of different takes, and they
had a stunt double climbing the rope. I mean, I
hate to do that to you, Kelly, because that was
a pretty hot scene. But that was a stunt double
going up the rope.
Speaker 13 (21:28):
Well, thank you, Dan. That crushes me and I'll know him.
That's a dut double. Thank you, guys, thank.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You, thank you. It was a butt double, is what
it was.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Yes, Paul, to be fair to you, Dan, you wanted
to climb the rope like Tom Cruise and Mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I did.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
They would not let you insurance purposes.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I did, they did, Yes, of course. Of course. By
the way, the premiere for Happy Gilmore is tonight in
New York City, but I had to inform Sandler that
I would not be there. Let the other celebrities have
their moment, and that I wouldn't either. The movie comes
out on Friday, Happy Go More too. Perhaps you've heard
(22:05):
him Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (22:12):
What a dp?
Speaker 15 (22:13):
Happy Monday boys, Nice Lakers lid Marvin Dan, you had
the dog days of summer on top of no week
of DP and you get not.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Good.
Speaker 15 (22:29):
But dude, my sports show Beakie is back and I
couldn't be happier. Best of the weekend, Dan, the MLB
All Star Weekend, I mean on a whole. I mean
it was appropriate, very entertaining. The uniforms were back, inappropriate,
and then listening to the.
Speaker 16 (22:47):
Two hitters Kershaw face fully miked up was absolute gold.
I mean I could have watched that for an hour.
It's a must watch if you haven't seen that. Listening
to him get upset with Smolty because he doesn't throw
hutter and mid wind up was both hilarious and awesome.
Speaker 14 (23:04):
And worst of.
Speaker 15 (23:04):
The worst of the weekend.
Speaker 16 (23:07):
The amount of like ds hot takes that gets thrown
out on area it's kind of cringey at this time
of the year, Dan, I mean, as it's just kind
of it's it's it's too much sometimes. But I have
a question for you, Dan, can you confirm for me
that you did, in fact receive your sign magnum of
c smoke that I brought to you at Lake Tahoe
Because my friends were busting my chops for that.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Uh. The big German drove it home because I couldn't
take it with me on the flight, and the big
german had the TV truck and I said, I need
you to store this and take it back. So it
is back. It is in the man cave, and thank
you again for that. You know, the Kershaw moment with
the big dumper, that was great. Cal Rawley and then
(23:55):
he goes into the dugout and I think he's saying,
you know, suck it, dumper after he got him out.
It's fun. And I think if the players, you know,
here was one of the problems that I had with
the All Star Game. A lot of your players left
and then you had this home run, this swing off
there at the end of the All Star Game, and
(24:17):
that's where you're going, Wait a matte, who are these guys?
Because you didn't have the big names trying to win
the All Star Game. That was a little bit of
a bummer. But I remember that there were there was
a time when it would be uh five and dive.
It'd be five innings and then guys would leave the
All Star Game. They just leave the building, shower and
(24:39):
go and I would hope that, I mean, I get it,
you know, it's the All Star break. But still, if
you're there, stay there, that's all. Make it, make it
a team effort. You don't know how many times you're
going to be named the All Star Game, and every time,
should you know? Kershaw got an opportun tunity one more time?
(25:02):
You know, savorite, that's all.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Yeah, Paul Kershaw was so good on the mound when
he's miked up. I thought he'd be talking between pitches.
He's watching the signs on the Ketcher goes, oh, he
wants the curve ball again. All right, I'll give it
to him, and he as he's in his wind up,
he goes here, it comes and he's like narrating his
own pitch. And the next one he goes, all right, fastball,
I'm hitting ninety one on this one, yeah, boys, And
then he throws it and he's talking during the delivery,
(25:27):
not just in between the pitches.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
It was gold.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah. I like that. It was fun. Christ and Syracuse, Hi, Chris.
Speaker 17 (25:37):
Hey, thanks Dan. Hey, I'm Scotty Scheffler. You know, he's
kind of like Matt Damon in rounders, just methodical, check
check check. And in your open you mentioned he doesn't
like to talk. I don't know if he's private or shy,
it seems like win or lose. He doesn't say much.
And I always remember one of my favorite things Tony
Dungee ever told you was his mom gave him some advice.
(25:58):
She said, when you win, say a little, and when
you lose, say lesson. He definitely listens to that and
quick best and worst. And it's a combination. Dan, I'm
torn on it, and I'm curious what your opinion is.
I heard this weekend that Brian Kelly put a million
dollars of his own personal money into the nil coffer
(26:19):
for LSU, and part of me thinks, you know, wow,
it's really generous. What a commitment to his school football program,
you know, commitment to winning. And then another part of
me thinks it's a dangerous precedent to set because the
coaches you can afford to give that much money are
already at programs that have a ton of money, and
it just creates a bigger gap between the haves and
(26:40):
the have nots.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, I saw that. I didn't read enough about that,
but yeah, Brian Kelly putting up his money. I mean,
if you want to say to these coaches who make
you know, twelve fourteen million dollars. How about we give
half of that to nil. How about we how about
we do that half your salary and the collective here,
(27:05):
and that will en sure that you have a good
season and continue to make this kind of money. Gus
in La, Hi, Gus, welcome back.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Good morning, missus. Patrick, Hope and the boys are doing well.
Happy premiere week, miss Patrick. Look forward to seeing you
on the screen on Friday. You know what, it is
not good around here. To caote my boy, buddh it's
not good, not good at all. Dodgers, I believe, are
like two and twenty and like their last like three
(27:38):
weeks of play man, like taking the All Star break
out of it, which was much needed. I don't know
what's wrong with these boys, man. They just got swept
for this season by the Brewers. Every game they played
against the Birds this past season they have lost and
it's not looking good at all. I don't know if
you guys saw I just say. Clayton Kershaw literally walked
off in the middle of his interview, with the last
(28:00):
thing of him saying I'm gonna walk away before I
ruffle feathers around here, and then he walks off and
if from years are just talking about it, cool, calm,
collective on the mound and the middle of the All
start game. Good thing. And then to see someone like
Dad go to like walking off their press conference, not
you know, not showing good things around Dodgets down right now,
(28:22):
you know, uh, that's the best of the weekend. We
go back to next week. Hey man, that All Start
game was actually pretty impressive. It was great and everything.
The MLB draft, though, so the most boring draft in
the history of drafts. You boys, take care, have a
great week.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Thank you guys, Thank you guys. You know, the problem
with the MLB draft is that you know, pretty much
ninety nine percent of those players, you're gonna wait three
years to see them play in the major leagues. That's
the problem. Cooper Flag, we get to see him opening night.
We'll see him football. If you're you know, drafting cam Ward,
(29:01):
we see him opening game Baseball. It's like, all right,
see you later, we'll talk to you in three or
four years. Here. Hockey has a little bit of that
as well. But you know, now you've seen some of
these players who were so good that they're ready to
go right into the NHL. But as far as the
draft goes, it's kind of nice to see, Oh yeah,
(29:21):
I remember that guy from the College World Series, and
then three years from now you go, that's the guy
from LSU. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
It's kind of weird too, to be like, hey, look
you just went in the fifteenth round.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, well, what was Piazza? The sixty first round?
Speaker 9 (29:42):
Yeah, couldn't get in that sixtieth round. Couldn't sneak into
that sixty.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Wouldn't you think that the NFL would have more rounds
than Major League Baseball because you got fifty three players
on a roster, whereas Major League Baseball, what do you
have twenty six? I remember the NBA used to have
what eight or nine rounds? Yeah, and that's where that's
where all of a sudden, somebody would say, we're going
(30:07):
to draft Carl Lewis, We're going to draft pat Riley,
Oh you know, late eight, eight ninth round pick. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
But the NFL doesn't have a single A, triple A,
in double A. They can't stack up linebackers in the
fifty eighth round like an MLB. I think that's the
big difference.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It'd be great if you could draft them their freshmen
and sophomore year and then stockpile them and you know,
you could have the number one pick, and then you
could take somebody who's a freshman, and then you're going
to say when he comes out and he's ours, but
you take that risk of how good is he going
to be? You know what, did we stumble upon something
here that that'd be kind of interesting? You know play?
(30:52):
You know, teams could be paying their player while he's
in college.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, we talked about this a few months
ago in Green Bay. What if you could take arch
Manning a year early and you hold his rights. You
don't get any player in this draft, but you're taken
with the first round. That'd be wild, kind of like
I think Larry Bird was taken by the Celtics. Played
one more year at college basketball.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah yeah, read urback out smarter to everybody. It's like,
we're gonna take Larry Bird. He's still in college. Yeah,
but he's eligible, he's draft eligible.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Yes, Marvin Jeremiah Smith would have been a top five pick.
You know what, we'll wait two years for him, the
wide receiver from Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
We'll wait a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, but then somebody would have taken Christian Hackenberg.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
His freshman year, Josh Rosen.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Maurice Clarett, somebody would have taken him his freshman year. Yeah,
using your first round pick. Then all of a sudden,
that guy gets demoted to second string and you've wasted
a first round draft pick on him. I already got drafted.
I'm not playing this. I'm not trying to get hurt.
Yes year, I'm sitting now. Uh Rocco in Florida. Hey Roco,
(32:01):
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Dan Jannett's five nine? So I was just jumping in
on the Scotty thing. What you guys are talking about.
I want to see your opinions on. I was thinking, like,
not the hype because when Tiger came in, you know,
it was that was when media everything was first around.
And would it be when he retires. Do you think
(32:23):
if Scotty surpasses all the staffs and everything, would it
be actually Vechkin Because of Vegan, it was still celebrated,
but it wasn't as much the hype. And then also
I want to throw in if I could compare him
to someone else, I'd say maybe the joker. He's just
good at what he does, and he just goes out
and does it. He's not worried about anything else.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, And look, it's the time of year where you're
kind of searching for things to talk about, and then
things become bigger because there's nothing really to talk about.
You're trying to bring football in, uh baseball the dog days.
This stands out because Scott he won again, and he's
won three of the four majors. He's twenty nine years
(33:05):
of age. And I think that's why it's it's standing
out a little bit more than it would have if
let's say this happened in mid August or happened in April.
Other things to talk about. Let's see, how about we
take a break, update the poll results, more of your
phone calls Monday, Best and worst of the weekend. What
you saw that you liked you didn't like. Our play
(33:27):

This is the play of the day.

Check this out.

tireraq dot com the way tire buying should be. Update
the poll results if you can, Seaton. Yeah, we got
up there right now. Paul suggestion Scottischeffler earl for the
PGA Tour. Scotti Scheffler is awesome or an issue right now?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Ninety one percent of the audience having that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I think issue is a strong word. I think sustained
greatness is great for any sport. I think that's really
the important part. I don't know when we started expecting
more out of our athletes that it wasn't just your performance.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
It was.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, But it still feels like we're a style over
substance society. You know a lot of the shows that
we watch, like how deep are some of these shows
like Love Island or the Kardashians that are big hits
where you go, uh boy, but they got style, but
there's no substance to that.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I guess that's trickled into US sports, but not all sports.
This is an individual sport, and I think you're watching
somebody and you're waiting for something dramatic to happen. If
this was the Ryder Cup and Scotti Scheffler is a
part of the Ryder Cup, then we'll be excited and
he might share his personality more in a team setting,
(36:04):
but as far as individually, and they don't like to
get out of their routines. There's certain players who play
with passion emotion in all sports. Other players famously are
you know, cool under fire? You know? Joe Montana famously
pointing out that that's John Candy in the stands before
leading the Niners to a Super Bowl winning drive against
(36:26):
the Bengals. You know, Tom Brady was fiery, but when
he was under fire, he was pretty cool, calm and collected.
U We see this with coaches. Sometimes coaches are very demonstrative.
Other coaches are very chill. Uh, you know the they
kind of flatline a little bit there. Let me get
a couple more phone calls in here. David in Ohio, Hi, David,
(36:49):
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (36:52):
He and the.
Speaker 19 (36:53):
DNS welcome back from vacation. Hope you guys had a
great one. I'll start off with worse than the weekend
at the flew the whole weekend, which suck, but best
of the weekend watching the Open Championship, seeing Scottie wind
and I recovered in my sleep number bed which my
sleep number fifty five, and it really helped me get
(37:17):
back into get back to normal. So appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Thank you, thank you, Thank you. David. Little product placement there,
We appreciate that. Dustin in Alabama, Hi, Dustin, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 18 (37:32):
Good morning?
Speaker 20 (37:33):
Glad to be back on the show. I got a
kind of a stat of the day, if you will,
if you're call called in a couple of weeks back
told a quick story about my son birthday phone Sunday
of the Masters. Well, I did a little bit of
research and uh, you know, next year will be Scottie
Scheffler's first attempt at the Grand Slam, and it will
(37:55):
be the Sunday of the US Open that year at
shinnecoqu will fall on his thirtieth birthday, so that might
be some divine intervention there. Also, in the year twenty
fourty five, my young son who skipped the Masters for
years and years ago, his thirtieth birthday will fall on
this Sunday of the Masters. So I'm sorry that maybe
(38:17):
we will be talking about him that same year. My
birthday rich to you like this. My birthday will be
one two three four five re time.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Thank you, thank you, dosin thank you. Yeah, your birthday
is the same as Brent Farms Hunt.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Ten sixty nine, same day, same on, same year.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I don't know if you have good followay, oh okay,
I forgot about.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
People are saying another person we should put on this
list of reluctant superstars and it's funny that we missed him.
Is Barry Sators. The most electrifying running back arguably of
all time with the highlights and a guy who wasn't
interesting off the field, and you know that better than anybody.
He's the most polar or you know, on the field,
it is a superstar.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Yeah, but he wasn't involved in championships. He was just
a great player. I mean they weren't good teams. I
think when you know, like mahomes Is winning Super Bowls
or you know those guys who were there. I don't
know if somebody's saying, boy, I wish Jalen Hurts had
a personality. I mean he's he's been great for the Eagles,
but like we pick and choose who we want to Okay,
(39:31):
Mike Trout's not interesting. He's a great players shoheu Tani.
He's just a great player. I don't know if anybody's saying,
you know, I wish he had a little more personality.
He doesn't do interviews, but we we look at him
differently than we do Mike Trout. I don't know, does
Aaron Judge go, say, do we look at him go?
(39:54):
You know, he can use a little more more personality.
So we pick and choose with some of these athletes, Yes, Todd,
but arenon.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
Judge, at least on the Yankees.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
If you have no personality and you're on a team
with no personality like the Angels, that's a double whammy.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Then you're really in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
That's that's a shot, Thank you, Todd. By the way,
uh my Charlotte Hornets Summer League champs, how do you hold.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
That for forty five minutes?
Speaker 4 (40:24):
One?
Speaker 7 (40:25):
Now?
Speaker 5 (40:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
All right, okay, free the caniple. Five of the previous
eleven Summer League championship teams made the playoffs the following season.
Let's keep an eye on my Charlotte Hornets here. I'm
not saying that you know they're gonna win anything, but
they may win our hearts by making the playoffs. But
(40:51):
congrats to the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
Yes, Marvin, they'd be much better if they go back
to the original uniforms with Larry Johnson Alonzo Morning Greatest,
the fourth a History of Basketball.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
Come on, DP. So we're having a good day. We're
having a good day.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
No, Teal is overrated, Oh, deal's overrated. Teal is overrated, yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (41:13):
And now the run the Charlotte Hornets are on. They're
not changing anything. They're gonna stick with whatever's working. You're
in a Summer league title, you don't change anything.
Speaker 9 (41:21):
That's what my grandfather taught me. It's like the Commanders,
they're on a roll.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Yeah, Golden State in twenty thirteen, San Antonio twenty fifteen,
the Bulls twenty sixteen, the Blazers twenty eighteen, the Cabs
twenty twenty three. Memphis won the Summer League title one year,
didn't he That was twenty nineteen. They didn't make the
(41:46):
playoffs that following season. Alrighty, we'll talk some football.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
TJ.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Watt got paid. What we talked to Albert Breer, the
Monday morning quarterback and the possibility of Nick Saban coming
back to coach hour two on this Monday back after
this
