You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

We have the NBA tipping off tonight and it's NBC
and Peacock Rockets Thunder. Reggie Miller will be on the
call and OKC he'll join us in a little over
an hour from now. Warriors Lakers follows that one NBC
and streaming on Peacock.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning.

to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the Dan Patrick Show. By the way, I know that
you wanted it and you'll finally get it. Your Joe
Flacco T shirt is available at Danpatrick dot com. Flaco
(00:43):
around and find out, Yes, that's the T shirt available
at least this week. But they do have the Jets,
so maybe it can go for two weeks. Who do
the Bengals play after they play the Jets, because then
we might have to stop it after that as Polly.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Jets at Bengals, Bears at Bengals, Oh, Bengals at Steelers, Oh, All.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Right, all right, it might be a three week run here,
Joe Flacco t shirt there. All right, last night we
had the Lions picking up a win. It wasn't a
very good game. We kept waiting for the Buccaneers to
do something and they didn't. Seahawks over the Texans twenty
seven nineteen sloppy game as well. But the Blue Jays
stealing the headlines and going back to the World Series
(01:30):
the last time they were there. They went back to
back and I was at those two World Series champions championships.
They end up winning it four to three. In the
big hit was George Springer que O pitch.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Sling in a FI ball left field, A deep A
Rosina turns good Springer Tigger four three Blue Jays in
the butt of.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
A a seven.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Seattle is so close. That's courtesy of the Blue Jays
Radio network. But you're Seattle. You had a magical run
and you're still the only active baseball franchise to never
make it to the World Series. Cal Rawling had a
wonderful year. He was in the on deck circle as
Julio Rodriguez made the final out for them. But Blue
Jays are big underdogs, as you would expect against the Dodgers. Show, Hey,
(02:28):
Tani is your favorite to win the World Series?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
MVP?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Back to the NBA and the title odds. We have
not had a repeat champ in seven years. Okac, you're
defending champs. They are the favorites according to the bookmakers. DraftKings,
Nuggets or second then Cavs, Nicks, Rockets, And I was saying,
who had better odds? Would it be the Rockets, Lakers,
(02:53):
Timberwolves or Warriors. It's the Rockets, then the Lakers tied
with the Timberwolves, and then the Golden State Warriors. After that,
Orlando is in there, The Mavericks are in there, Clippers
and the seventy six ers. You know, the Mavericks I
thought might be a little bit higher, but you know
they're gonna wait. They gotta wait for Kyrie to come back.
(03:14):
Anthony Davis. They have a really good team frontline, and
if Kyrie is healthy, those odds will improve dramatically, you know. Okay, See,
we always see this where you're trying to come back
and do it again and just never the same. The Nuggets,
I don't know how good the team is, but I
(03:36):
think Joker is your MVP. Eleading candidate right now, I
have Luca as mine. He's going to be there for
three weeks without lebron If I gave you over under
points tonight with Luca and Golden State, Luca against Steph
(03:57):
Curry over under, Who's going Luca or who's going Steph?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And by how many?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, Paulie, I would say Luca twenty nine and a
half and he had more than.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Staph Okay Todd Luca thirty two and a half, all right.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Marvin Luca twenty eight and a half.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
All right, Seaton, Steph thirty one and one a half.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's Luca and Luca at thirty and a half, and
I got Steph I think at twenty six.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And a half. Disrespect. Oh that's the over under for
that matchup there, all right?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Eight seven seven three DP show. Do you want to
update the poll results? We had a lot of good ones,
a lot of spicy ones in the first hour of
the program.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
How about that.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Let's see the MF for pole question. AFC Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Broncos.
Right now, the Colts at sixty six percent, they are
the most for real in the AFC. Same thing more
for real NFC forty nine or Seahawks, Rams, Buccaneers Rams
running away.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
With that one. Okay, yeah, okay. We also have whose
career would you want?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
George Springer or Mike Trout George Springer fifty four percent
of that?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Okay, maybe asked that question after the World Series, how
about that? But I'm looking at the all time home
run list postseason Manny Ramirez twenty nine, Jose L Tuve
twenty seven, and then it's Springer and Kyle Schwarber, Bernie Williams,
Eric Gita, Albert Pouholz, Alec Bregman, and Corey Seeger. Then
(05:31):
you'll find Reggie Jackson. Mickey Mantle had eighteen but played
in fewer postseason games on a yearly basis.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, Tom, do you put.
Speaker 9 (05:41):
A mini trash can instead of Ben? Asked next to
an al Tuovay, what do you do with that? Instead
of a little star? A little mini trash can?
Speaker 10 (05:48):
No?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I feel on that one.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well, I mean that's your team, you root for cheaters.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
There there was some question with behavior going on.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Would you put a little trash can?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I think that would be a music to do that
you do?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I do think that would go over with Astros terribly. Okay,
all right, the Dolphins situation. Mike McDaniel still a head coach,
all right, and he's still gonna play Tua.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right. Here's Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins head coach.
Speaker 11 (06:17):
As far as talking to mister Ross, talked to him
right after the game, and we talk about the game.
You know, there's a lot to talk about. Definitely didn't
see it playing out that way, so you know, we
talked about that, and then we came here off the
off the plane.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Okay, but here's Tua.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Nobody has thrown more I think multi interception games than
Tua since twenty twenty two records. You don't want to
be on that list. But Mike McDaniel said that he'll
be better. Okay, like how could he not be? But
(06:57):
then this is where if you're part of the fan base,
there is this an indictment on the ownership front office
that you don't do something like what are you waiting for?
Tyreek Hill's not walking out of the walking into the
locker room, and if he is, he's limping. Got you
got a good running back and you got a wide receiver,
(07:18):
but you don't really have anything. And I wonder about
where this team now can you change the coach and
all of a sudden salvage this season. I don't think so,
because Buffalo and New England are better than you. But maybe,
like Mike McDaniel, obviously coaching for his job. I can't
(07:39):
imagine that he would hold onto his job. And this
is where it gets tricky for an owner. If you
start to win, then you got to keep him because
right now, if I said to Steven Ross, the owner
of the Dolphins, what are you gonna do at the
end of the year, if he was going to be honest,
he said, I'm probably going to clean house. Okay, So
(08:01):
why wait? Is there somebody on the staff you want
to give a chance to to be a head coach?
Are players going to respond differently? We see how they're responding.
Bill Coward, the Hall of Fame coach, set on CBS postgame.
The Dolphins look disinterested. That would really alarm me. The
things that get the attention of an owner is when
(08:23):
people don't show up for games, because that's the bottom line.
Are they going to show up? Do you have the
Dolphins schedule, PAULI?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, they are at the Falcons host, the Ravens host,
the Bills host the Commanders host the Saints.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Wait, so what for their next five are at home? Yes? Wow? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And like you said, what if they they've had three
one score losses this year? What if they happen to
beat the Falcons and Ravens and somehow weirdly beat the Bills.
Now the window to fire him is closed for a while.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, I just want to know, well, are they going
to move on from TUA? If you're not moving on
from your head coach? Are you moving on from TUA?
Because that would be the other question I would have.
I don't know Mike McDaniel, who I enjoy him when
he comes on. He seems like an offensive coordinator. As
(09:19):
I've said many times, not everybody is meant to be
a head coach because what is required of you is
different than what you're kind of accustomed to if you're
the defensive coordinator, like Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame. And
I talked to him when we were done with the interview,
and I said, how do the players look at you
(09:41):
now as head coach as opposed to when you were
the defensive coordinator? And I think I kind of caught
him a little bit off guard with it. But when
that's our DC, it's different, like it's us.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's one of us. He played linebacker. Now you're the
head coach. Now you oversee everything. Now you're a CEO.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But he said, no, I think they view me the same,
which I don't know how you can. Because when he
got named head coach at Notre Dame, that locker room,
that locker room erupted. They were so happy for him,
and rightfully so. But there has to be that you're
(10:25):
my offensive coordinator to like Robert Salah. He's a great
defensive coach. I just didn't think he was a head coach.
And it's not a knock on him because you got
to know your strengths. Everybody wants to be a head coach,
or we feel like, oh he deserves a chance to
be a head coach. No, not every pitching coach deserves
to be a manager. Like Leo Mazzoni with the Braves.
(10:49):
I liked him as a pitching coach, not as a manager.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, you have to try, but you have to know.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What if I said to Todd, I want you to
be the host of this show, could he be the
host of this show and then run the business? Could
you do all of those things, or does he go,
this is what I really do?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think you get guys who get in a position
and you go, like Gannon with the Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't know if he's a head coach or not.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I understand you want to do it, but you also
have to understand your limitations with that.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
I don't know that goes from like Todd's role to
your role though, is the same as going from like
an offensive or defensive coordinator to a head coach.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He's a personality, speaks a lot, but even then, like
that jump from being a DC or offensive coordinator being
a head coach. I mean, it's so different because you're
not really hands on the way you were. And I
think that's where who's the guy who we kept waiting
for him to get an opportunity with the Chiefs? Eric
(11:53):
b Enemy, Where did that go? That was front Murner
all these shows? He deserves it. Maybe he didn't interview well,
which is what I heard. You know, you have certain guys.
I understand you want to aspire to that, but I'm
not a play by play guy. Like if you said, hey,
do you want to do Sunday night football or you
(12:15):
want to do I don't know the fifth game on Fox,
I would say no because that's not what I do well.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
I fear like a really good quarterbacks coach, and then
you know, somebody offers you the offensive coordinator can be like,
I don't know, that's really my strength, and then you know,
but that's really close to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
You're right there in all of those those rooms. I
feel like you have to try. If you get the
chance to be a head coach, you have to try it.
Even if you fail. It's like, all right, that didn't
work out, but you have to try. I get that
you want to take the job. I get it. But
it goes back to if I'm an owner, not everybody
deserves to be a head coach. The guy who wants
to be a head coach, okay, but I would not
(12:56):
be I would not look at this and go, you know,
he deserves to be a head There's certain guys who
like Buddy Ryan to me, wasn't a good head coach,
but he was a great defensive coordinator. They're just certain
guys who were built for certain things. Even Belichick now
coming up Belichick, we would look at him and go
he's not a guy.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He's not built to be a head coach. Bill Belichick, No,
he's not at North Carolina. Yes, Pum.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I think what you're saying is being the face of
the program and having to do all the media time
because as an assistant coach you can go years without
doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
You don't have to. Yeah, you don't have to do
any interviews.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
They usually turn you down. We asked for assistant coaches
in college football were told no, and pro football were
told no. You look at Ben Johnson the Bears. He
was a little shaky this year at the podium. Aaron
Glenn with the Jets a little shaky at the podium.
They get too emotional because they're not used to being
in front of the podium weekend and week out.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And I understand you want to be a head coach,
but it goes back to where like Mike McDaniel doesn't
seem like a head coach. But I didn't know if
Dan Campbell could be a head coach, but I found
out he wins press conferences.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
They do follow him. They got a culture there and
they would.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Do anything, it seems like for him. So I'm glad
that he got that opportunity. But when he first got
sworn in, I went.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
Oh boy, yeah, it's like Pete Carroll might be a
little bit of an anomaly. But if you were to
ask like the Jets or the Patriots, he wasn't built
to be a head coach. But then he went to
college and he was a great head coach at college.
And then he went to the NFL and he was
a great head coach there too. You know, so sometimes
it's you know, maybe it takes a minute to figure
(14:34):
it out, but.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well, we recycle quarterbacks, we recycle coaches as well. But
getting that opportunity. Like Steve Kerr, I thought he had
had a great offensive mind, but I didn't know if
you know, what.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
He would be.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I knew he was great with the media. He was
a broadcaster as well. Those things help you, but I
didn't know he'd be this successful. Doug Collins when he
coaching the Bulls, he had Michael Jordan. They moved on
from him, brought in Phil Jackson. I'm like, Phil didn't
say anything. He didn't have to. All he had to
(15:10):
say was get it to Michael. Okay, is there a plane?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
No, just get it to twenty three?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yes, Well, he'd hand out books and give them motivational
literature to read in their free time.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
All right, let me take a break. We'll talk to
Kevin Harlan. Todd, get your voice ready, give me a
little Kevin Harlan.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
The Jazz are up twenty three to nine, and the
Denver Nuggets look confused.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
We'll step aside. This is the NBA on Prime video.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think you sound better than Kevin Harlan. You sound
more like Kevin Harlan than Kevin Harlan.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I will take that as a lovely cople.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Kevin Harlan will join us. Coming up next here, Dan
Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
We're gonna be in Vegas in a couple of weeks
going out for Formula one. I was just informed by
the Eyes and Ears of the show Mario, who is
our director, that Pitbull is going to be there that
Friday night when we're there, Mister three h five, I
don't know if he'll be in the hotel where we're staying.
That might be the only reason why I would go
(16:50):
see him.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I know you'll won't me. I don't know. Should we
have Pitbull on the show.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Maybe, Yeah, we're in a stadium named after him, heck
y oh yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Don't have to do my research on pit Bull. Yes,
time we're Milford.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
He's mister Worldwide. How would we possibly blow up Pitbull?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
And maybe we find out if he's going to be
there Thursday night. But I don't know if he's going
to get up when we get up as we start
at six am Vegas time, Marvin.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
He's performing at Fountain Blue Hotel. I think it's the
same place where we saw post Malone.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Oh now, I would have had post Malone on you
were ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He had his Troy Aikman jersey on, but every other
word was the F bomb, And I'm like, why we.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Don't need it?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
You were so offended.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I was just like, I like his voice. I'm worried
about the kids.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
That's all. There were no kids there though.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
People acting like kids.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But it was F bomb after F bomb, and I'm
standing next to Marvin, I'm like, come on, you're better
than that. He couldn't give you a sentence without two
or three F bombs in there. Maybe I just don't understand.
And the rap world or whatever world he's in, getting tattoos,
that's just how he kicks it. Yeah, well, lost a
(18:08):
lot of weight, looked good and his Troy Aikman jersey.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
The rappers getting to that. Rappers get tattoos, a cursing.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
On their faces. Get off my lawn, Get off my lawn. Yes, Melbourne.
Speaker 13 (18:21):
The way I turned around and looked at you like wait, wait,
you're worried about.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Him saying that bomb there much?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yes, yes, Bully with the post Malone, the lyrics.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
The F bombs are in the songs right, not just
he's not just floating them out there. They're in the
actual lyrics.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
No, no, no, no, I think they're in the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
They are, but in between songs, and then he would
throw out F bombs like a set up to the song.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I'm like, yes, Todd, it's said.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
When people refer to and try to do cursing to
get people's attention. That's a little shot. I took it myself.
Oh okay, but I just went blue too because no
one was laughing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So it's usually what happens sometimes when comedians get desperate,
they throw an F bomb and then people laugh for
some reason.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, I'm looking at post Malone, one of his more
popular songs. It is white Iverson, and the F word
appears in the official lyrics a number of times.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, but I'm talking about in between songs.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I'm just surprised that it's it's in the written lyrics.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Like we already have it in a song.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
But then he couldn't get from one song to the
next one without dropping a trail of F bombs.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Just once again, I'm here for the kids.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yes, what's worse unnecessary language are facial tattoos.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I don't care about the tattoos. I'm fine with it.
I like post malone, like he's very talented.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I mean, what's worse?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
What was You're gonna say to Mike Tyson? Man, you
have that's face?
Speaker 7 (19:46):
I say, like, what did you do to your face?
When you're like a grandpa and stuff like that?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
You want to always ahead of the curve, right, because
everybody's like, oh my god, do you see what Tyson did?
And then all of a sudden, it seems like there were.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
I mean, a little little Wayne and like all the
man it just yeah, he was. He seems like one
of the first two that really went like all in too,
like the face tattoos.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
He went heavy early.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't know how I could sit there and talk
to these guys like Lil Wayne without just kind of,
you know, looking his whole face and looking at these tattoos,
not even make an eye contact.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Just like, okay he got a cross there, Okay, you
got that?
Speaker 7 (20:22):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Is there any social or religious significance? Maybe I'm just
the one of the old men in the room. As
to like, why you would do it on your face?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
How would I know, Todd, I don't know, Because there's
actually cultures, there's actually scripture that talks about facial tattoos.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I think it's Corinthians too face making a joke like
there's you know, like.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Todd I'm complaining about f bombs at a post Malone concert.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
I want to know how you in the room process
when you see someone with like a bunch of facial tattoos.
What are what are they saying to the world and
what how are we supposed to you know, react to
that or what are.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
They Harlan is set to join us here uh NFL
on CBS play by play Monday night Action on Westwood One.
He was on the call last night. He was also
in the booth at Mile High between the Giants and
the Broncos. He's got Dolphins Falcons on CBS next Sunday,
then The Commander's Chiefs Westwood Run on radio Monday night,
(21:17):
and his first NBA game for NBA Prime will be
Timberwolves Lakers coming up on Friday night. Kevin Harlan on
the program. Given that schedule, how's the voice.
Speaker 14 (21:30):
It's a little early. I don't know how you do
it every morning, getting up and belting it out, but it'll.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Warm up, okay, So you do the game last night,
you have the Broncos Giants game, then you're gonna have
the Dolphins Falcons, then you got Commander's Chiefs, and then
you got your first NBA game Lakers and Tea Wolves
on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
That's a lot. That's a lot. How does that?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You got to kind of pace yourself, don't you? For
all of this and the energy you bring to a game.
Speaker 14 (22:02):
Maybe a little bit, you know. And I was at TNT.
We had the Sunday CBS, the Monday Westwood One Radio,
and then Tuesday NBA. So it was three games, three nights,
three different cities, flights in between. That was difficult, and
that was one of the problems I think with NBC
is that they have Tuesday games on Peacock and so
(22:25):
the Amazon thing made sense in a variety of ways,
but clearly their schedule fit what I do in football
a little bit better. And you know how the business is.
You get going and the microphones on, and you seem
to we love the business. We answer the bell and
we do the best we can.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Of all the games you've done. Where does the Giants
and Broncos rank.
Speaker 14 (22:48):
I was talking to someone of the press box last
night here in Detroit, and I said, the problem with
a game like that, and you've covered a lot and
done so much, is that when it's going on in
your I've seeing this monumental whatever is occurring, is that
you're trying to process it in real time. Unlike most
(23:08):
people that we watched that report on it have a
chance to digest it. You've got to make sure that
as you're going you're keeping track of all the parts
that build up to the top of the pyramid and
the conclusion. And that's just want to make sure you're
buttoned down. But thirty three points in one quarter is
a pretty significant number. I've never done a game like that,
(23:30):
and this is my forty first year doing the NFL.
Stunning and shocking because even when it was twenty six
to eight and the Giants were leading in the fourth,
you thought, well, this a garbage touchdown here, They're going
to just kind of get some momentum going into the
Brogers are going to get some momentum going into the
next game. And it was hardly that. And I guess
you need to realize that these guys, once they catch
(23:52):
a spark at this level, they don't let it go.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Give me the difference between your job with anticipation and reaction.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
Well, everything for me is reaction. I don't I think
if you let your mind go to what could be
and make sure that I'm ready for it, that you
lose what's actually going on in front of you. I mean,
I think there are different ways to handle it, and
you've you've done things like this before. I think the
(24:23):
best stuff that comes out is the stuff that is
organic and has the true you're you're so lost in
the game and clearly you know what's coming up a
third down or a fourth down, or where they got
to get to the line the game. But I think
that that you just it's truly one step at a time,
(24:44):
handle that play, and then as that play ends, make
sure you're previewing what's ahead, so you've covered what's happened
and what's to come and how that play played into
what's upcoming. So or I've always I've always leaned on
the organic side of it and let my love of
sports kind of come out.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I guess I kept waiting for Tampa to do something
last night. I don't know if you were getting that
sense of okay, better get it going, getting late, well.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
Baker Mayfield. I mean they had won all these games
by three points or less, and he had come back
and engineered these phenomenal comebacks at home and on the road.
And Detroit was depleted in the secondary as people have
read and followed the game, missing most of their starters
back there, and kids that filled in were great. The
(25:37):
pass rush was there that offset the loss in the secondary,
and Mayfield didn't seem to have an answer. Now, Listen,
he had. Evans was out with a broken collar bonus
we learned later on in a shoulder injury and maybe
a concussion. Abuka was not one hundred percent. They're missing
the number one running back and Bucky Irving. I mean,
(25:58):
they had a lot of things that they were dealing
with offensively, so Mayfield's arsenal wasn't there and the things
that made him so special early in the season. Detroit
had an answer last night. It was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Talking to Kevin Harlan NFL and CBS play by play,
I feel bad having you on. I can hear it
in your voice, like you know, just hanging there for
a couple more minutes.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
No, I'm for you.
Speaker 14 (26:22):
I'll do anything. When I saw this and go, gosh,
I'm not very good in the morning, and there's a
lot there's a lot of there's a lot of stuff
that's got to be cleared out.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But you go from pacing with TV a game on radio,
and then you go to NBA pacing, how do you
kind of, you know, is there any real adjustment for
you when you're doing those different games on different you know,
whether TV or radio and different You know, football.
Speaker 14 (26:50):
Is such a march, and I think that just for
me personally, I'm probably better with a cadence and a
rhythm and a flow and those kinds of things, and
I try to bring more of that to football because
to my ear, it's pleasing on basketball when it's like
(27:12):
a running conversation. So for all these years I was
with Reggie and we really felt like there was a
nice rhythm established we had so many years together. And
when it's like that in the NBA and the game flows,
I mean, you know, I mean, it just flows so well.
The one thing about college basketball is that the kids
don't shoot as well and the clock is longer, so
(27:33):
there's more time for an analyst to get his moment in.
Yet you can pick up the play with about eight
seconds on the shot clock, and that rhythm establishes itself,
and it really is pleasing from a broadcasting standpoint. NBA
is like a windshield wipeer, right, it's just back and forth,
baseline to baseline, but there's a rhythm that is established there.
(27:55):
In the NFL, it's more like a march. And you
know there's a segment where the analyst talks and then utah,
and you want to get out quickly and be efficient,
let him get back to what he's saying, because it's
an analyst driven medium. In the NFL on TV basketball,
I feel it's a fifty to fifty split, but in
(28:16):
football on TV it's analyst driven.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
How hard is it to picture an NBA post Lebron.
Speaker 15 (28:23):
Hard.
Speaker 14 (28:24):
He's going to be out the first three four weeks
of this season, and every promo I see by all
the networks, it's Lebron making a play. He's not going
to be there in November or till November, late November,
maybe no October basketball for him. And it reaches even
further than that. Curry and KD. You know, this is
(28:47):
the twilight of their careers and I don't know that
anyone he has stepped up there are many candidates to
go in there and fill in that void, but it's
coming when they're gone, and so much of the league
is built on those three players, and it's it's gonna
be hard to see like it was when when Kobe
(29:07):
retired and before that. You know, Michael, And have.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You ever used your voice for preferential treatment, for preferential treatment?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
No, no, restaurant, no no, no, I.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
I it is recognized from time. I'm not recognized, but
when I open my mouth. So my wife says that
that should be an indication. Don't talk, just just just
just why get home? You talk all the time when
you're on the road for your work. When you come home,
you're still talking. Let's let's let's let's let's quiet. Let's
have quiet time.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
So you don't say, I take the Caesar salahad No, no,
how do you sound.
Speaker 14 (29:47):
So good all the time? You're you?
Speaker 15 (29:48):
You're I.
Speaker 14 (29:49):
I I've told you this before. I admire you so much.
You know, it's the next part of your show. Are
your your questions? And people probably don't, they just think
it's just the flow. But when you're doing the show,
those questions and they're so efficient. Every kid in broadcasting
should listen and copy that stuff. I told you that before,
(30:10):
but I really admire it, and I'll write if I'm
never doing an interview myself and I don't do any
I'll do, I'll put literally swear to God DP on
the top of my board to remind myself. Be efficient,
get to the point, and think as you go along,
as opposed to having fifteen plans questions.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Great, that's what I teach my students, economical open ended questions.
And you're not the important person. The person you're speaking
to is now go home. Rest your voice. You don't
have to use it until what Friday night?
Speaker 14 (30:49):
Now, I got shows during the week I've got to do.
But yeah, but Friday night. Yeah, and Friday. Then fly
to Atlanta on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And once again, if the voice goes, you know, I
got your I got your dappo ganger here Fritzi is
ready to go.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
How about the Lakers Timberwolves?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Todd, The Timberwolves are on an eleven three run. The
Lakers want to talk about it. This is the NBA
on Amazon Video.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
Okay, let me just say something about that. This will
be my I have never ever ever said. And they
want to talk about it. I think I think he's channeling.
I think he's channeling a little Marv okay. But but
I have never I said, I said, I've heard that before.
(31:34):
I've never said that. I've never said they want to
talk about it. I said, uh, I mean whatever I've said,
You've called the time out, but they.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Told, well, pay some bills and step aside. This sin
is the NBA on Amazon prop video.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Have you said that before?
Speaker 16 (31:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
But it's fun You're and him say it.
Speaker 14 (31:57):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Great to talk to you. Thanks for getting up with
us and safe travels.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Thanks Dan, always a pleasure and great listening to you.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Kevin Harlan and Todd Fritz good Sport, thank you. Yes,
I do love you doing his impersonation to it.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I do love it.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
I have never said that in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Rockets are getting six and a half at the Thunder
over Under with Shay Gilgis Alexander Junior. The third is
thirty two and a half, Kevin Durant twenty three and
a half, Warriors minus two and a half at the Lakers,
Luka Doncic thirty and a half over Under, Steph Curry
twenty six and a half over under take a break,
(32:39):
more phone calls, more NBA coming up in about thirty
five minutes from now, when Reggie Miller joins us, we're
back after this.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Had a little shooting on petition during the live looking
if you're watching on Peacan, Fritzy with a couple of
late jumpers, and next break it'll be Marvin v.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Seaton as we get ready for the NBA tip off.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I don't know, Todd's got an interesting side spin on
his jumper, and but it went in, what'd you make?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Four or five?
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Four of the nine, last three and then one earlier
on the other side.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
And you had forty five seconds to do so caught
fire at the end of there you did. Yeah, middle
aged jumpers for middle aged guys. By the way, I
called Marvin Melvin, but that's because the back room guys
never call anybody by their real name. So Eric, the
big german is Derek, Mario is Maria a variety of
(33:48):
names for him, and Marvin is Melvin or what are
the other names they call you.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Mark, Marquee, Morton, Marcus.
Speaker 13 (33:58):
Yeah, it's it's as I joke from when we're building
the big German's brother Jay would never get my name right.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
And so that's how it started. Yeah, I'm so bad
with names. I'm sorry, Melvin.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
What did he call Seaton?
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Sexton?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Sexton? All right, I get Sexton, I get send Damon.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
For some reason, se nt O n I don't even
know what that is, but lots of people. Hey, sent
in Brian in Oklahoma. Thanks for holding Brian. What's on
your mind?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Hey, Dan, Harry you great?
Speaker 10 (34:30):
Hey.
Speaker 15 (34:31):
I want to ask this question. All these coaches that
are being fired by the universities and are drawing these
big paychecks for their contracts, do you see universities in
the future. Maybe not given ten year contracts. We give
them three or four year contracts and given a stipulation
with nil and transfer a portal. You have the opportunity
to get a big team or a really good team.
(34:51):
If you don't develop in those three years, you're out.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Well I would just say let's be in this together,
and if I give you three years to bring in
your players, after that you can reassess and I. You know,
these coaches jump around all the time. You know they
complain about players doing this. Coaches do this all the time.
There's no loyalty none, So you can't I'm asking you
(35:15):
to sign up for ten years and then I'm going
to have to pay you. I want loyalty in return
from you as well. Don't be shopping, you know, for
other jobs. But this is what they're going to do.
Speaker 15 (35:26):
It is.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
It's all about the money.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Everybody is keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, get more money,
take another job, take another job.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
There is no stability. But I don't know if they've
actually tried.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
To cultivate this. There's no stability in the players. Let's
see Brosky in wine Country. Hi Brosky, Hey, Dan, how
you doing?
Speaker 16 (35:52):
Go you doing for us good? This is Brosky Passerovos, California.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Number one wine country in the world.
Speaker 16 (35:58):
Dan okay, Hey, I'm new to the show, first time caller,
six foot two, O five and Dan, even though I'm
new to the show, I'm not new to the family.
Speaker 17 (36:11):
Buda from San Francisco and I grew up in our
twenties and thirties together. Speaking about mid range jumpers for
middle aged guys. We used to play knockdown basketball one
on one to where we were almost fighting each other,
and then we became really really good friends and he
moved up to.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
The Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
What's on your mind, Brosky?
Speaker 16 (36:34):
Hey, I'm calling. I got a numerology for Fritzy.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Okay.
Speaker 16 (36:41):
With the dismal play by the Broncos over three quarters,
they finally decided to step up and represent the great
Ta Marius Thomas, who passed away at the age of
thirty three.
Speaker 10 (36:53):
And.
Speaker 16 (36:54):
They scored thirty three points in the fourth quarter. They
had two eight point drives, which is a nod to
number eighty eight. The defense recorded thirty three solo tackles,
and they started the game winning drive with thirty three
seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah. I sent this to Fritzy early this morning.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, we'll get to the point, are Bronsky. You got
to have a tutorial, Chris, and Syracuse needs to give
you a tutorial.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Aiden in Utah Hi Aiden.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Hey DP the ALTIP short, real quick, worst and worstest
worst would be Sean Payton flight calling. For seventy five
percent of the game, we went from run run incomplete
path to screen stream overthrow, punt, and now The worstest
would be my utes losing to BYU for the third
(37:49):
straight year, and it looks like it's gonna be a
lot longer than that. They've got deep the pockets that
are programming where just we look embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah you got a great coach though, but thank you Aiden.
Speaker 7 (38:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You you got to have money to spend. It's plain
and simple. Gotta have money. Keith and Chico. Hi, Keith,
welcome back.
Speaker 15 (38:13):
Hey guys, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 18 (38:14):
I just got a quick quick question about the Chiefs.
Being a Lions fan, I would guess last night felt
like being a Chief sin as we got all the
important calls at the right times. I'm not sure that
I like it and will relish in that style of
winning is the same way they do in Kansas City.
And that brings me to the question, would you rather
your football team wins several Super Bowls but clearly get
lopsided help from the penalties, or win just one with
(38:36):
absolutely no controversy.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
I'll take all the help I can get. I don't
care as long as I'm not cheating. I'll take all
the help I can get. I don't hang my head
in shame if I win a Super Bowl. The Colonel
back from Tampa. Hi, Colonel, good.
Speaker 10 (38:55):
Morning, Dan, Good morning guys.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
How are we all doing great?
Speaker 10 (38:58):
He listen, no one knows. No one had it better
this weekend than our family and friends at my son's wedding,
to end our new daughter's wedding. It was great, lovely,
fantastic time, long weekend. So maybe I was tired, Dan,
maybe I didn't see what I saw over and over
(39:18):
last night on that television watching that game. But I'm positive, Dan.
We got the Saints, we got a bye week. It's
the NFL. We're going to make adjustments. The best is
yet to come.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
All right, colonel, thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
The best was this weekend and your daughter getting thereried congratulations,
or your son getting there. Yeah, it's one game. But
here's the bigger issue though. It's the injuries. It's like
the Niners their two best defenders aren't coming back. The
Buccaneers you're not getting Mike Evans back. Those are huge losses.
You can have somebody banged up, you can have some
(39:55):
people unhappy. You can have wide receivers who want to
get the ball more. You know Saquon Barkley. You want
to talk from an unbelievable year to a below average year.
I think he's averaging like three and a half yards
of carry, getting maybe fifty to sixty yards. I think
(40:15):
he was averaging a one twenty five last year. I
haven't heard him say he's not getting his touches. Those
wide receivers can complain all they want. Saquon Barkley not
getting as many touches as he did last year.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Two hours in the
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Books, one more to go and the return of the
Hall of Famer Reggie Aloysius Millard Junior, the third Fritzy
Seat and Marv Paul Years truly and of course the
back room guys Final hour right after this
