Speaker 2 (00:05):
Team USA sixteen and a half point favored to win
the Gold coming up tomorrow against France, rallying down from
being down seventeen to knockoff Serbia with Lebron with another
triple double as they lived to see another day. Come
on in final hour, Bob Costas will join us, just
back from Paris, and we'll catch up with Bob. Your
(00:26):
phone calls always welcome, eh seven to seven three DP show.
Some of the headlines yesterday, aside from basketball, Noah Lyles
went from being a big favorite in the two hundred
meters to getting COVID to then getting a bronze medal.
And I don't know if the track analyst, I don't
know who knew that he had COVID or when they
found out that he had COVID, because even before it
(00:48):
didn't look like there was anything wrong with him. Certainly
after the race, you could tell that he was struggling.
And I think that's when people realize that he did
run with COVID, ended up with the bronz.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Eight seven seven three DP Show Email address DP Atdanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle The DP Show you got more
Olympics coming up today. You got women's Olympic golf that's
going on now. That'll be settled tomorrow, but Team USA
will face France for the gold. Poll question for the
final hour is going to be what seton stat of
the day, by the way, brought to you Bob Pennine
(01:22):
America the official trading cards of the program. Let's see
right now we've got up there the BLT. Is it
overrated or underrated? Sixty one percent have it underrated?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Appropriately? I appreciate that. No jj Watt swing in this
pole question and it stayed firmly with the underrated.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, jj Watt is not big on the BLT by
the way, Smoked BLT sandwiches and beer battered onion rings.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Nod, that's our meat Friday there, h right, maybe called
the BLT trash, which she did call it trash, and
I said.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't think there's any need to be hurtful or rude.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, because it's underrated. I didn't say that it was
a favorite or overrated. I you said bot is under radio.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You can't okay, you're gonna throw it up against a
bacon egg and cheese. That's not fair either.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
No, but I would put a grilled cheese or peanut
butter and jelly up against that.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, I said it.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Whoa, whoa, whoa power three.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I don't know your old school, your traditional.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, it's because that was the standard that was the
go to in my house. My mom would always say, oh,
just make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay, can
I have maybe this steak? Or no, no, get a
grilled cheese sandwich. So you should be surprised that I
(02:41):
am going back to my childhood where I didn't want these.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Now I kind of do, yes, Todd, but.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Could you put as much peanut butter or jelly or
cheese on these sandwiches? I know when it came to meat,
you can only have like one thin slice on the bread.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
When it came to bolooney, who got bloony? Nobody gets blooney, Paula,
you got.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Oh yeah, we didn't have a lot of dough. It
was one slice of balooney, never two slices.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you'd have And I swear to God, I swear
I could hold up that slice of bolooney because my
dad would get it so thin I could see my
brother through the bologney. It was that thin. And you
got one slice of American cheese and it was on
white bread, and that was it. Now get to school, okay,
(03:28):
and here's an apple too. Oh okay, thanks mom.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, you guys are right, though JJ's reaction was harsh. Yes,
BLT is a good ass sandwich. Hey, the philosophy of
this squad is off the field.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
We're good ass dudes. We're nice guys. We do the
right thing on the field.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
When you step on the field, you're the baddest keep
on the planet.
Speaker 9 (03:49):
And together we're the baddest team.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
On the planet.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
And that's the way we're gonna attack everybody day.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I don't care who walks into our building. I don't
care whose building we walk into.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
We're the baddest out there, Texas, all three.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We're gonna help grandmothers across the street.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Give me a packon egg and cheese and a glass
of belk.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, we're gonna stay and we're gonna do extra homework.
We're gonna volunteer for a pop quiz. We're good ass dudes.
We got preseason football coming up tonight. Texans, Steelers, Falcons Dolphins,
Eagles against the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Jim Harbaugh. Another press conference, Another interesting question here. So
Jim Harbaugh, I would say, deflected a question yesterday about
the NCAA's most recent sanctions. They're they're levied against him
four year show cause. So what that means is he's
banned from college football coaching until August of twenty twenty eight.
(04:53):
So here's the question and the answer from Jim Harbaugh
about the punishment.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Jim, the NCAA came out yesterday with the four year
show caused penalty.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Do you have any comment on that.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
I'm the stop and the engagement there with commenting. But
so my only continued hope is that one day college
athletics will be about what's best for the young men
and the young women who participate in them. That's really
(05:27):
all I got to say about it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's where I would have followed up and say, Jim,
you didn't answer the question that I had for you here,
because you went from being very defiant a couple of
days earlier that you didn't do anything wrong. Now you
were suspended for three games, and these were recruiting violation.
Now we can say these are silly recruiting violations. There's
still violations. Five years down the road, we may look
(05:52):
back and go that was a violation. Yes, at times
they can be petty, they can be silly. But look
at what happened with Jim Tressel at Ohio State because
of tattoos. And if you cover up the crime, that's
even worse. But Jim Tressel got that over his players
turning in some of their gear to get free tattoos.
(06:15):
Is it silly? Yeah, with nil now, But Jim didn't
really answer the question. He wasn't as defiant about that
as he was the cheating scandal with Connor Stallions. So
the NCAA sanctions, he wants what's best for athletes. Yeah,
well they are doing pretty well now. By the way,
(06:38):
I mentioned right at the end of the last hour,
the biggest winner in all the Olympics, over everybody, even
if Team USA wins the gold medal, Snoop Dogg. Snoop
Dogg is the big winner. He's kind of the co
host here. Now you're going to have the games go
to la in four years in his backyard. And I
(07:03):
think NBC had a great investment having Snoop Dogg as
one of their hosts.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I thought he did a great job.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of course, paid reportedly five hundred thousand dollars each day
to show up. I mean, you're gonna have to pay
me to go see maybe equestrian, you know, dressage. But
he was there, he was dressed up, he was having fun,
he was engaging, went to a lot of these sporting events,
engaged with the athletes, and I think he had the
(07:30):
best Olympics out of anybody. And you talk about a career,
you didn't see this happening with Snoop Dogg not, you know,
fifteen years ago, twenty years ago. Now all of a sudden,
he's America's darling out there. If you're fifteen, you're going, man,
(07:50):
that dude is cool. Now if you're thirty five or forty,
you're like, damn, talk about a career.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Comeback here, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
It's amazing when you see guys like Snoop and ice
Cube also where it's like, wait, this guy right here
was not supposed to be, Like ice Cube wasn't supposed
to be And are we there yet? The children's movie, Yeah,
it's Snoop. Like my son knows who who Snoop is?
He doesn't know murder was the case Snoop when Snoop
was literally gonna try for murder. Like he doesn't know that, Snoop,
(08:19):
he just knows the fun loving Snoop with the dreads
and you know, we're just hanging out going to the Olympics.
It's insane, but that's what happens when you're around for
thirty years.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Experience the Olympics like you've never seen them before. Of course,
Prime Time in Paris tonight on NBC in Peacock.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yes, you went to put Snoop and Martha Stewart together.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You want to have come up, but.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I would not, but I remember it was Snoop and
Leiah Coca from Chrysler. I think they did a commercial
as well. That's the first time it was like, wow,
we're gonna really try to cross over. And then all
of a sudden, you know, he and Martha Stewart are
Martha ends up going to prison.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It Snoop's not you know, like if you just said, hey,
one of these two is going to.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Prison and be like, well, of course it's going to
be Martha Stewart insider trading.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yes, yes, that's why I'm just like endlessly tickled watching
the Olympics, and you know we get twenty four hour
a day coverage. Now you can turn it on any
day you want. So there's a million different hosts, and
every host whenever they're teasing the Snoop Dogg segwud coming up,
crip walking through Paris, that'll be fun. You're like, are
you listening to what you're saying? It truly is just
(09:25):
one of the more remarkable thing there's Snoop Dogg. I
wonder to fill crip walk over to the four hundred
meter race leader. Oh my god, yeah, oh my god.
But you almost have to have somebody translate some things
just to let we're not doing the electric slide over there.
It's like, no, it's it's called crip walking.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
He's the big winner. He's the big winner.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Got that blue bandana hanging out the left side, only
on his left side, whichever side it is.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh my god, we'll get to your phone calls coming up,
Bob Costas will stop buying. I saw this headline Raiders
quarterback competition looks like ugly dilemma with no good answer. Boy,
I want to dive into that article. If I'm a
Raider fan. I mean they got Gardner Minshew, who I love.
(10:21):
Aidan O'Connell had a pretty good rookie season. But that's
it doesn't That's why I thought, man, the Raiders are
going to go all in and get Michael Pennix Junior.
I thought they were going to get him. They were
going to go make a big splash there and get
a quarterback. But feels like it's gonna be a rough year.
(10:45):
I mean, you got guys who you know. Max Crosby
is a top fifteen player, Davante Adam's the top fifteen player.
I don't know what you're going to have to show
for it when it's all said and done with that team?
Can you get to seven wins? They went, they won
five of their last nine with Antonio Peers and then
(11:06):
he got the job.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Can you get to seven wins this year? I don't
even know that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is that sound like the over under for the Raiders
seven and a half. Maybe we should check that with DraftKings.
But yeah, sometimes that headline doesn't always reflect what the
article says. This You're like, yeah, that's probably so. Raiders
quarterback competition looks ugly. Looks like ugly dilemma with no
good answer yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And if you're the Chiefs, you're looking at your division,
which is the first thing you got to get past.
You got the Raiders that don't feel threatening, not threatening,
you know they could be Okay. The Broncos probably in
October will start a rookie quarterback so they're not threatening.
And then the Chargers, which they're always threatening in August.
They always look fantastic in August.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And then there's always an injury in September.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
They always Derwin James and their great roster. And I'm just.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Waiting, Mike Williams, keenan Allen.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
There's a reason Andy Reid's not thinking about retires.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, looks around that receiving corps is not there running
back situation, But Jim is going to try to have
the Chargers look like Michigan football.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, Ton and.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Justin Herbert's got this plantar situation that they're hoping he'll
be ready.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's true, that's true. Let me see Rich in South Carolina. Hi, Rich,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Dan? Thanks? Sorry, still love. I'm just imagining you looking
through a piece of bologna at your brother going I
can see you anyway, when you get talking about the
second most important position. I started thinking about that and
during your interview, and if you look at the last
four teams remaining, you know NFC AFC at some point,
doesn't it have to be tight end? Because the best
(12:46):
four tight ends in the league were in the final games.
You got Mark Andrews at Baltimore, Kelsey kc Laporta in
Detroit and then Kittle San fran And and that is
your bailout for when you have a the left hap
I mean, defit then coming down your neck and then
you just dump it over its head. I mean it
seems like when Gronk was with Brady, they would always win.
(13:07):
It was always like, oh once they get Gronk, it
gets you over the hump. And it's just I don't
ever feel like tight ends ever going to be near
get the second position.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But I think it's fair. I think that's that that's fair.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You got the numbers to back it up, Uh, the
examples to back it up. How many great receivers win
Super Bowls? Because that would probably be where I'd start.
If you think the wide receiver is the second most important,
I think he's the second most important During the regular season.
I don't know if that's necessarily the case when it
(13:38):
comes to the postseason.
Speaker 11 (13:40):
Yes, mark traditional wide receiver, probably Tyreek Hill with the
first Super Bowl with the UH with the Chiefs, and
then historically Jerry Rice, Yeah, Michael Irvin.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Let me see Cooper Cup that one. Jamar Chase helped
get the Bengals there. I don't know if having that
number one wide receiver always translates into high level success
postseason success. I mean, I'm just throwing that out there.
I mean, Randy Moss helped get the Patriots to the
(14:15):
Super Bowl. They didn't win it. But the tight end,
certainly with Gronk and that history with Brady, they were
great when Gronk was healthy. The Patriots were great because
that was their offense. They were making sure when they
got down in the red zone that Gronk was going
to get the football. But yeah, you can make a
case with these teams their tight ends. Although didn't Andrews
(14:39):
get hurt with the Ravens last year.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Was ankle here one of those horse collar things?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, yes, Todd, would you count Isaac.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Person Torrey Holt from the Greatest Show on Turf Year?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, but that was the quarterback and the running back. Really,
I mean if Kurt Warner and Marshall Falk are the
ones who shared the MVPs in those regular season But yeah,
you have to have respectable receivers. It's not like you
can go out there and you know, you got us
running around backwards. You got to have guys who are competent.
But when it comes to paying an elite, you know,
(15:11):
justin Jefferson, are the Vikings going to play in a
big playoff game the super Bowl anytime soon? And the
answer is no, they won't. Jamar Chase has already been
in a super Bowl. So I'm looking at let's say
the top five wide receivers. Tyreek Hill, the Dolphin's going
to be in a super Bowl anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Anybody else that you would put up there, and you go,
you know what, they'll be in a Super Bowl? Who
comes to mind. I'm on Ross Saint Brown. He's getting
paid as a top five receiver, but I just think
left tackles important edge rusher to go along with your quarterback.
Then it feels like you make your choice either tight
end or wide receiver. Yeah, Marvin Debo, but he's not
(15:57):
your typical number one receiver. But it feels like San
Francisco had three number one go to guys right four
with McCaffrey and Kittle, an Ayuk and Devo.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But yeah, it feels well the wide receivering.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They're getting paid like they're the second most important position
in football. All right, let me take a break. Bob
Constas will join us coming up next back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Feels like Snoop Dogg's title was co host of the Olympics.
He was everywhere I thought. He came out as the
big winner here and now four years from now in LA,
that's where people are going to be waiting for Snoop Dogg.
I think he happened upon the scene and we're like,
all right, okay, and then all of a sudden, Martha
Stewart's involved in it. They really incorporated I thought, both
(17:30):
of those and celebrities as well, and made it an
even bigger deal, if that's possible, Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Right on cue break, dancing at the Olympics is starting,
and the opening ceremonies for it, Snoop Dogg walked out
in the crowd.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Im Bisser springing, Bob Constace, the Hall of Fame sportscaster
and a host of the Olympics. Many many, many, many
many times. If I would have told you twenty years ago,
fifteen years ago, hey, Snoop's going to be co hosting
the Olympics, you would have said, what.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Dan, What a crushing blow it's going to be when
next spring Snoop Dogg is the guy who denies you
the sports host Emmy yet again, Wow, that is just
going to be. It's wrong on so many levels, but
it's inevitable.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
All Right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I see where we are we've established the battlegrounds already.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Bob shot across the bow.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Okay, but you know the Olympics are about celebrating showcase him.
Would you have pushed back if that was a suggestion
by management that they were going to incorporate Snoop.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
I think the tide was flowing in a direction.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
It's just gobbled me up and taking me out to
see you know, look Snoop is a very personable guy.
I'd encountered him once a few years ago, and he
was very knowledgeable about sports. We mostly talked about the NBA,
and I had a brief encounter with him along with
Al Michael's at the Beach ball Ball venue when I
was in Paris last week.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
You know, he's he's high spirited about it. I get it.
I get what the appeal is.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
And if I was hosting, as long as it didn't
encroach upon in any way what you're primarily there for,
then it's you know, it's just a side dish. It's
a large side dish in this case, but it's a
side dish.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
How has social media changed the Olympic coverage?
Speaker 8 (19:24):
You know, I guess it's even more more out there
than before. The last time I hosted was twenty sixteen.
But the thing that strikes me, and I'm not an
expert on this because I'm not following all the reactions
from the general public, but the athletes themselves, all of them,
even those who are elder statesmen, which might mean that
they're thirty years old, they grew up with social media,
(19:45):
so they're posting throughout You know who is the pole
vault woman from the United States who decided its work
and some people loved it and some people didn't. But
her answer was, look, I make money off of this.
I am popular larity because of this. It's second nature now.
And another thing that I've noted is this every Olympian
(20:06):
just about is going to have a catalog of childhood
photos and videos because everybody all around the world has
the fault. So the entire life of the child from
birth through whatever has has been filmed, and so it's
almost already made documentary, already made for the Olympic profiles.
(20:27):
You know, here's here's Duplantis, Mondo Duplontis when he was
pull vaulting like off his bed when he's three years old.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I was wondering if consciously subconsciously you did this, I
think I did, and that is that you kind of
root for Team USA when you're hosting, even though you're
supposed to be covering the Olympics. Did you ever find
it you kind of blurred the lines there?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Not really, because Team USA almost always did well enough
that there were going to be lots of moments and
they're going to be metal winners brought into the studio.
And I think your job is to be appreciative. We
know that the coverage is going to lean toward the
home team. In Britain, it leans toward athletes from England,
(21:16):
the UK, the same thing in Australia. Everywhere you go.
You go to parts of the world, they'll show a
whole lot of badminton because in Akistan they're really good
at it. In Canada, even if the Canadians don't win
a whole lot of medals and they've done well in
these Olympics, they're going to lean. The CBC is going
to lean in that direction. That's not unique to the
United States. But I think it's.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Our job, or was my job when I hosted.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
It, to be aware and appreciative of the accomplishments of
all the athletes, no matter where they came from.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What do you remember about the Dream Team?
Speaker 8 (21:50):
The mania that surrounded it, you know, walking down the
Roomblas in Barcelona and seeing like a fifteen story building
from the sidewalk to the roof of the building with
a Michael Jordan mural on it. The mania that surrounded them,
and also the idea that their opponents and in most
(22:12):
cases in ninety two they're victims, enjoyed. It was the
guy from was it an Angola who wanted to take
a I guess back back.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Then selfie's were kind of a new thing.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
The ball goes out of bounds and he wants a
selfie with Markley before the balls foot.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Back and play.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
And I also remember Marv Albert in typical dry Marv style.
I threw it out to him for the first game
I think it was the Dream Team against Angola and
he says, Bob, bookmakers in Lo London have taken this
one off the board.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Have you ever I experienced anything close to just the
admiration the fandom that we had with the Dream Team.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Not exactly, because you had a lot of build up
prior to all those players, not just Jordan.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
You know, magic Bird.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Every member of that team, with the exception of Christian
and later, and Christian may be in the Hall of
Fame because the Basketball Hall of Fame is, you know,
combines amateur and pro. So he may be in because
of what he did at Duke, but a part from that,
every other member of the team is a Hall of Famer.
But that fame, at least in the United States, preceded that,
and then the reverberations continued into the subsequent NBA seasons,
(23:30):
So I think it's kind of been a separate category.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
How do we know as city did well in the Olympics, Well, there's.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Just a vibe feeling. There's always a bottom line feeling.
The Greeks got the Olympics in two thousand and four
because of their historic connection to it, but a nation
of only ten twelve million people probably can't put it
on again, and there was a huge economic cost and
a lot of the venues now just sit there with
(23:58):
weeds growing because they have no use for it. Subsequently,
but the vibe in Paris is incredible. It just feels
like a success. It feels right, and even watching at
home wherever home is the United States are anywhere around
the world. This is a huge bounce back from the
last three Olympics, especially the last two. I think Tokyo
(24:22):
would have been an excellent host, but we'll never know
because it's under COVID circumstances. There's no fans in the stands.
And then with the same circumstances in place, all the restrictions,
no fans when they went back to China for another Olympics.
I think by then the understanding around the world that
China is a serious human rights abuser and just a
(24:42):
mockery of the supposed Olympic ideals that turned people off.
Now the COVID circumstances are largely behind us, no alliles notwithstanding,
and there are fans in the stands. It's a beautiful setting.
Everywhere you look. It's a postcard. It's not just the
Eiffel Tower, it's.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Not just the Loop. I was driving to one of
the games with Al Michael's one of the events.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Rather and I said, you know, Al, in the average
American city, maybe not DC or New York or whatever,
in the average American city, the twentieth most appealing building
we will see on this ride would be the centerpiece
building in that city. That's just what Paris is and
this could be the beginning of the Olympics getting its
(25:25):
group back because Milan Courtina seems like an appealing setting
for the next Winter Olympics. And then it's in Los Angeles,
and from an American standpoint, despite all the challenges of
putting it on in security and everything else, there's going
to be a big, big vibe for that. So, you know, Paris,
I think is the start of something really good for
the Olympic movement.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Talking to Bob Costas, I was wondering if the IOC,
and I know there's so much money at stake here
and getting bids from other countries, but yeah, could they
do a rotation? Doesn't a rotation make the most sense
because it doesn't economically damage or you know, these cities,
and even if you have multiple cities involved, it could
(26:05):
be the West Coast could bring you the Olympic Games,
not just the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, that makes some sense, it does. And maybe you
could farm out certain events. Maybe you run the marathon.
You always run the marathon in Greece, they always run
it in Athens, you know, to keep that connection.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
You could probably.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Identify let's say four or five really good host cities
for a Winter Olympics, be a different sort of four
or five around the world for a Summer Olympics. We
know that the IOC is intent on spreading its wings.
They're going back to Australia. That's a good thing. Australia
was a good host in two thousand and there's going
(26:43):
to be another one in the years ahead. They've put
several in Asia, and that's a good thing. As soon
as they can find the right nation and the right
city to host. They want to put an Olympics in Africa,
and those are all good intentions. But to your point,
it's becoming more and more challenging, and a lot.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Of times what happened with Beijing.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I'm not making excuses for the IOC, but a lot
of the other more classic Winter Olympic sites backed out
because of the costs and other issues, security and everything else.
So the list of possibilities is shrinking. So to your point,
it might make sense to have some permanent sites that
rotate them.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Baseball topics, if you will, Paul Skenes against the Dodgers
coming up on Saturday. Who comes to mind, Well, I
guess Dwight Gooden, but who comes to mind that had
sort of this must see TV.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
As far as a pitcher, you know, Vida.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Blue when he started with the A's was like that.
Fernando Fernando pitched like eight shutouts in his first ten
starts or something like that with the Dodgers Fernando Mania.
For a while, there was a whole lot of hype
surrounding Stephen Strasburg and in his first game he struck
out fourteen against the Pirates, as it happened. But and
(28:01):
he had some good years and he was the MVP
of the World Series in twenty nineteen, but injuries kind
of took him off what could have been a Hall
of Fame track. And your point about Gooden is absolutely correct.
And you know there are some athletes where the objective
accomplishments are one thing, and then there's just the poetry
of it. Dwight Gooden was just beautiful to watch, you know,
(28:22):
his motion, the fluidity of it, that classic twelve to
six curveball to go with the high heat. And back then,
I don't want to sound like back in my day, Sonny,
but back then, great pictures finish what they started, and
so they're on the mound when the game ends and
Gary Carter comes out and you know, shakes hands with
Dwight Gooden. We're in an eurowere. Blake Snell, who had
(28:45):
won two cy Young Awards, just pitched his first complete game,
and only because it was a no hitter. So I
think that, you know, some of the drama and theater
is taken away there. I understand all the modern analytics.
I'm not saying it isn't the right strategic approach. From
the standpoint of theater. We're never going to see Bob
Gibson on the mound as the World Series ends, or
(29:06):
Sandy Kofax on two days rest in the seventh game
of the World Series strikes out the last guy in
the World Series ends. That tableau has been taken away.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, but we're going to have to modify our Hall
of Fame expectations for starting pitching.
Speaker 9 (29:21):
Yep, Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
You're going to get people in the Hall of Fame
with fewer than two hundred victories. You know, Dizzey Dean
had fewer than two hundred, but he got injured and
had established Hall of Fame credentials.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Kofax is the best example.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
I think he won only one hundred and sixty five,
but for that five year stretch, he was the best
pitcher on the planet, maybe the best picture of all time.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
You could certainly make.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
A case for him, but generally speaking, two hundred was
a threshold. Three hundred was a cinch. But no one's
ever going to win three hundred again because you just
can't get that many decisions anymore. So I think you
could very well see a guy with one hundred and
forty wins, but with a good era and the analytics lineup,
especially as the electorate and younger voters who have grown
(30:02):
up with this is the norm, no problem with that,
that's their norm, they'll be more receptive to that.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well, it's almost like the running back and the pitcher,
the starting pitcher, huh, very similar. That we've reduced their
necessity there, and we're going to have to reassess running
backs because it's probably going to be more receptions, you know, yeah,
yards after the touch or whatever it might be, not
necessarily running the football.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Plus, when you talk about a thousand yard season, which
used to be a benchmark, or the two thousand yard
season when OJ did it, that's a fourteen game season.
When Jim Brown broke into the league. Was a twelve
game season, then fourteen, then sixteen, now seventeen. So you know,
all those have to be taken into account on a
percentage basis.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
You could have picked other rooms in your apartment, right.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
No, this is the one that works best. I swear.
I said to Eric, your guy there, your production guy there.
I know where you're going with this. I'm just I
have a sense where you're going with this. It's what's
behind me.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
I tried to crop the shot so that it wasn't there.
But when I do this, I cut the top of
my head as far as I can go.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Does that help?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
But it's a message.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean, you know, you came out of the gate
Snoop Dogg's gonna win the Emmy, and then you take
this shot, and now we got sports Emmys over there.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
I mean, yeah, there's.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
They don't all fit behind me. Look here's a panoramic.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
All right, you got me.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All in good fun, Bob, Bob, Do you have any
rooms without emmys?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
Yes, yes, just a few.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Your wife won't let you have an Emmy in the bedroom, though,
Uh no, no, that crosses the line. Great to catch
up with you. Thanks for joining us as always, buddy,
thank you, thank you. That's Bob Costas. That was great.
I asked for it. I asked for it. So Bob
(32:12):
opened it up and then showed the entire room where
all the Emmys.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Unreal, Yeah, unreal.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
He's like, he's got eight of them behind him, and
then he's like, oh, that doesn't need and there was
just another.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Whole wall of them.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That was fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
What a boss. Yeah, what a boss. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
One of the funniest bits when you did not win,
you didn't lose, you didn't win the Emmy. A couple
of years in a row to Bob Costas, he called
in each Monday to talk about her whatever day it was,
and Fritzy and I had the idea on the third
one to invite Bob up and Fritzy and I talked like,
Bob Costa is not going to come up at eight
forty five in the morning on a Tuesday, and Fritzey
(32:56):
calling us, Yes, shir I'll be there. It was like
a two minute conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Hey, brought in an Emmy and he surprised you.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
He was on the phone and back. Yeah, and then
walked out.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Because he would usually say Hello Loser, because we'd have
him on the day after he won the sports SIMMI,
Hello loser, and I went avon.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
He hung out with us afterwards when we went.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
To Yeah Cool.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You had a Texas longhorned baseball hat on jeans. He's
drinking Budweiser at the bar with us, his seats like,
this is blowing my mind.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
He's got on jeans, a hat and it's drinking a
bud heavy. This is one of the greatest days of
my life.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
All right, let me.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Take a break, last call for phone calls. What we learn,
what's in store for Monday. And if you're watching on Peacock,
time to go out to the Tregger grills. And we
got two pies to the face. Fritzie gets one, Paulie
gets one. All of that in the next twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Pauli gets a pie, Fritzie gets a pie, everybody gets enjoyment.
This how we close up shop on Friday all together.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Ever since I was a tona bar.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Alrighty close up shop. Olympic weekend comes to a close
with Paris. I think Olympics are labeled successes by Americans.
When Americans do well, it's like, man, those Olympics were great.
No incidents so far.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
I've been told that NBC wanted to see what the
closing ceremonies were going to be just so there's no controversy,
and that they've watched the closing ceremonies or I guess
what's going on in the closing ceremonies, maybe once or twice,
just to make sure that we don't have any controversy
(34:47):
like we did the opening ceremonies. And then I think
Tom Cruise is supposed to do something spectacular that takes
the games from Paris to Los Angeles. I don't know
what Tom ru is going to do, like a stunt.
I think that's what it's called. I think that there's
a closing ceremony stunt with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Yes, Tom, is he gonna jump on a couch or
table professing his love?
Speaker 7 (35:13):
No wonder, that's not nice.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Can Tom Cruise get insurance on Tom Cruise?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Like?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
How much would that cost?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
When he does his own stunts, And if you're another actor,
you're like.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Oh, God, Cruise show off?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And then didn't you have Ryan Gosling was in The
stunt Man? Was he in that movie The Fall Guy?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
The Fall Guy? Basically the stunt Man? And I don't
know how many of his own stunts that he did.
But now actors are being asked that you do your
own stunts? Are you doing your own stunts like Tom Cruise?
Does Tom Cruise is moniacal? Like I you know, you
got a motorcycle going to go off a cliff and
then your parachute opens up? And is that Tom Cruise
(36:02):
really doing it?
Speaker 9 (36:04):
All?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Right? Last goal for phone calls? How about this day's
sports history? Pump I got a couple huge ones.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Nineteen thirty six, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal
at the Berlin Olympics, the first American to win four
medals in a single Olympics. Nineteen seventy five, the New
Orleans Superdome officially opened. Saints played the Oilers. Cost of
the Superdome to build is nineteen seventy five one hundred
and sixty three million daily. Thompson of Britain in eighty
four went his second consecutive Olympic to cathlon and then
(36:31):
probably the biggest or most impactful trade in sports history.
Nineteen eighty eight, Wayne Gretzky of the Oilers was sent
to the LA Kings. They got three first round draft
picks for.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It and fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Yeah, a little bit of cash.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So Jimmy Carson, Martin Jelena and three first round picks
and fifteen million dollars because Edmonton was Strapford. Cash changed
the league, changed everything for the NHL. Then you wanted
cities in the United States that wanted to have a
(37:06):
team because Wayne Gretzky was going to come to town.
So it was Wayno. It was Marty McSorley and Mike
Crucial Nisky were the players who came with Wayne to
the LA Kings.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
He was crucial to the trade.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, Usain Bolt when's the two hundred meters and that
was back to back, so twenty twelve, I was there
back to back Olympics, he had the one hundred and
two hundred, he ran nineteen point three in the two
hundred meters. I thought that he would be front and
center showcased. I don't know if NBC reached down to
(37:40):
him or if he was doing anything for the BBC.
But I thought we would see Usain Bolt sort of
like we see Michael Phelps and maybe we're going to
see Simone Biles in that role coming up as well.
But you seen Bolt posted a couple of social media things,
but one was a sponsorship for liquor. Other one was
I take a shout out to the Jamaican team. Uh
(38:03):
Jeff in South Carolina, Good morning, Jeff, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (38:07):
Okay, gentlemen, thank you to take my call? First time,
long time five nine A little kind of Dowey two
twenty one, talk in on a BLT aspect the first time.
My wife, so my girlfriend then basically met my parents.
They were cooking dinner and they did BLTs. Well, the
BLTs they decided to make were just playing white flatbread,
(38:30):
no toasted. There's some playing tin bacon and some little
tomato and iceberg lettuce, a little bit to mayo. And
so my wife graciously ate the food and we hang
out with parents. And as soon as we left our parents' house,
my wife looked my now wife looked at me and said, hey,
we need to go someplace elves get some food because
I'm still hungry those BLTs and not enough.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Hey, if JJ Watt was here with these BLTs, he
would take back what he said the blasphemous things he
said about a BLT last hour.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
I think garbage trash. These are really good, really good. Yes,
and they were kind of big and a high.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Before Paulli took his, he kind of had to press
it down, Yeah, just so that he'd be able to
get a bite on him.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yes, very tasty. King in Saint Louis, King, thanks for holding.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 14 (39:17):
Hey, but I kind of feel like I kind of
feel like the Saint Louis day, the great Bobcassa's got
his career started here in Saint Louis, and you're finally
in the market here in Saint Louis. I'm listening to
you on five ninety Sports Talk here in Saint Louis.
I'll welcome to Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (39:28):
Kind of have to do with my question. Todd brought
up this athlete earlier. I wanted to know if you
can flex your muscle behind the scene and do meet
me a solid and see what you can do about
getting one of my one of my my favorites, the
great Tory Holt from the Greatest Show on Turf. See
if you can push him through, get them off, to
get him off the wait list for the Hall of Fame.
(39:50):
If you look at his numbers compared to some of
his peers in that same position that have gone in
as of late, especially the numbers he put up the
first few years that he was in the league, Tory
Holt's numbers compare to pretty much anyone's whose name isn't
you know, Jerry Jerry Rice?
Speaker 3 (40:07):
All right? What else?
Speaker 9 (40:08):
Do?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
What do you what numbers do you have there, paulink for.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Yeah, he's got six seasons with ninety plus catches, you know,
seven Pro bowls. That's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
But you think it used with Isaac Holt.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
It's an ensemble.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I know.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
That's the problem with it. It's not fair. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 11 (40:24):
See you even just dated there, Isaac Bruce, Isaac Bruce
together Tory Holt.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Maybe they should go in together. Isac Bruce is already Infortunately,
Isaac Holt.
Speaker 11 (40:37):
It's like Reggie Wayne.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, great numbers, but he's behind Marv.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
You know what, I'll work on it, Todd, What did
I learn on today's program.
Speaker 9 (40:44):
J J.
Speaker 6 (40:44):
Watt says, the bailtiest trash get a bacon, egg and
cheese instead, or a girl chies a peanut, butter and Delly.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Team USA sixteen and a half point favored to win
the Gold coming up tomorrow against France, rallying down from
being down seventeen to knockoff Serbia with Lebron with another
triple double as they lived to see another day. Come
on in final hour, Bob Costas will join us, just
back from Paris, and we'll catch up with Bob. Your
(00:26):
phone calls always welcome, eh seven to seven three DP show.
Some of the headlines yesterday, aside from basketball, Noah Lyles
went from being a big favorite in the two hundred
meters to getting COVID to then getting a bronze medal.
And I don't know if the track analyst, I don't
know who knew that he had COVID or when they
found out that he had COVID, because even before it
(00:48):
didn't look like there was anything wrong with him. Certainly
after the race, you could tell that he was struggling.
And I think that's when people realize that he did
run with COVID, ended up with the bronz.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Eight seven seven three DP Show Email address DP Atdanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle The DP Show you got more
Olympics coming up today. You got women's Olympic golf that's
going on now. That'll be settled tomorrow, but Team USA
will face France for the gold. Poll question for the
final hour is going to be what seton stat of
the day, by the way, brought to you Bob Pennine
(01:22):
America the official trading cards of the program. Let's see
right now we've got up there the BLT. Is it
overrated or underrated? Sixty one percent have it underrated?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Appropriately? I appreciate that. No jj Watt swing in this
pole question and it stayed firmly with the underrated.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, jj Watt is not big on the BLT by
the way, Smoked BLT sandwiches and beer battered onion rings.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Nod, that's our meat Friday there, h right, maybe called
the BLT trash, which she did call it trash, and
I said.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't think there's any need to be hurtful or rude.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, because it's underrated. I didn't say that it was
a favorite or overrated. I you said bot is under radio.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You can't okay, you're gonna throw it up against a
bacon egg and cheese. That's not fair either.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
No, but I would put a grilled cheese or peanut
butter and jelly up against that.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, I said it.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Whoa, whoa, whoa power three.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I don't know your old school, your traditional.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, it's because that was the standard that was the
go to in my house. My mom would always say, oh,
just make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay, can
I have maybe this steak? Or no, no, get a
grilled cheese sandwich. So you should be surprised that I
(02:41):
am going back to my childhood where I didn't want these.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Now I kind of do, yes, Todd, but.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Could you put as much peanut butter or jelly or
cheese on these sandwiches? I know when it came to meat,
you can only have like one thin slice on the bread.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
When it came to bolooney, who got bloony? Nobody gets blooney, Paula,
you got.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Oh yeah, we didn't have a lot of dough. It
was one slice of balooney, never two slices.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you'd have And I swear to God, I swear
I could hold up that slice of bolooney because my
dad would get it so thin I could see my
brother through the bologney. It was that thin. And you
got one slice of American cheese and it was on
white bread, and that was it. Now get to school, okay,
(03:28):
and here's an apple too. Oh okay, thanks mom.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, you guys are right, though JJ's reaction was harsh. Yes,
BLT is a good ass sandwich. Hey, the philosophy of
this squad is off the field.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
We're good ass dudes. We're nice guys. We do the
right thing on the field.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
When you step on the field, you're the baddest keep
on the planet.
Speaker 9 (03:49):
And together we're the baddest team.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
On the planet.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
And that's the way we're gonna attack everybody day.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I don't care who walks into our building. I don't
care whose building we walk into.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
We're the baddest out there, Texas, all three.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We're gonna help grandmothers across the street.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Give me a packon egg and cheese and a glass
of belk.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, we're gonna stay and we're gonna do extra homework.
We're gonna volunteer for a pop quiz. We're good ass dudes.
We got preseason football coming up tonight. Texans, Steelers, Falcons Dolphins,
Eagles against the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Jim Harbaugh. Another press conference, Another interesting question here. So
Jim Harbaugh, I would say, deflected a question yesterday about
the NCAA's most recent sanctions. They're they're levied against him
four year show cause. So what that means is he's
banned from college football coaching until August of twenty twenty eight.
(04:53):
So here's the question and the answer from Jim Harbaugh
about the punishment.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Jim, the NCAA came out yesterday with the four year
show caused penalty.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Do you have any comment on that.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
I'm the stop and the engagement there with commenting. But
so my only continued hope is that one day college
athletics will be about what's best for the young men
and the young women who participate in them. That's really
(05:27):
all I got to say about it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That's where I would have followed up and say, Jim,
you didn't answer the question that I had for you here,
because you went from being very defiant a couple of
days earlier that you didn't do anything wrong. Now you
were suspended for three games, and these were recruiting violation.
Now we can say these are silly recruiting violations. There's
still violations. Five years down the road, we may look
(05:52):
back and go that was a violation. Yes, at times
they can be petty, they can be silly. But look
at what happened with Jim Tressel at Ohio State because
of tattoos. And if you cover up the crime, that's
even worse. But Jim Tressel got that over his players
turning in some of their gear to get free tattoos.
(06:15):
Is it silly? Yeah, with nil now, But Jim didn't
really answer the question. He wasn't as defiant about that
as he was the cheating scandal with Connor Stallions. So
the NCAA sanctions, he wants what's best for athletes. Yeah,
well they are doing pretty well now. By the way,
(06:38):
I mentioned right at the end of the last hour,
the biggest winner in all the Olympics, over everybody, even
if Team USA wins the gold medal, Snoop Dogg. Snoop
Dogg is the big winner. He's kind of the co
host here. Now you're going to have the games go
to la in four years in his backyard. And I
(07:03):
think NBC had a great investment having Snoop Dogg as
one of their hosts.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I thought he did a great job.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of course, paid reportedly five hundred thousand dollars each day
to show up. I mean, you're gonna have to pay
me to go see maybe equestrian, you know, dressage. But
he was there, he was dressed up, he was having fun,
he was engaging, went to a lot of these sporting events,
engaged with the athletes, and I think he had the
(07:30):
best Olympics out of anybody. And you talk about a career,
you didn't see this happening with Snoop Dogg not, you know,
fifteen years ago, twenty years ago. Now all of a sudden,
he's America's darling out there. If you're fifteen, you're going, man,
(07:50):
that dude is cool. Now if you're thirty five or forty,
you're like, damn, talk about a career.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Comeback here, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
It's amazing when you see guys like Snoop and ice
Cube also where it's like, wait, this guy right here
was not supposed to be, Like ice Cube wasn't supposed
to be And are we there yet? The children's movie, Yeah,
it's Snoop. Like my son knows who who Snoop is?
He doesn't know murder was the case Snoop when Snoop
was literally gonna try for murder. Like he doesn't know that, Snoop,
(08:19):
he just knows the fun loving Snoop with the dreads
and you know, we're just hanging out going to the Olympics.
It's insane, but that's what happens when you're around for
thirty years.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Experience the Olympics like you've never seen them before. Of course,
Prime Time in Paris tonight on NBC in Peacock.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yes, you went to put Snoop and Martha Stewart together.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You want to have come up, but.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I would not, but I remember it was Snoop and
Leiah Coca from Chrysler. I think they did a commercial
as well. That's the first time it was like, wow,
we're gonna really try to cross over. And then all
of a sudden, you know, he and Martha Stewart are
Martha ends up going to prison.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It Snoop's not you know, like if you just said, hey,
one of these two is going to.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Prison and be like, well, of course it's going to
be Martha Stewart insider trading.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yes, yes, that's why I'm just like endlessly tickled watching
the Olympics, and you know we get twenty four hour
a day coverage. Now you can turn it on any
day you want. So there's a million different hosts, and
every host whenever they're teasing the Snoop Dogg segwud coming up,
crip walking through Paris, that'll be fun. You're like, are
you listening to what you're saying? It truly is just
(09:25):
one of the more remarkable thing there's Snoop Dogg. I
wonder to fill crip walk over to the four hundred
meter race leader. Oh my god, yeah, oh my god.
But you almost have to have somebody translate some things
just to let we're not doing the electric slide over there.
It's like, no, it's it's called crip walking.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
He's the big winner. He's the big winner.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Got that blue bandana hanging out the left side, only
on his left side, whichever side it is.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh my god, we'll get to your phone calls coming up,
Bob Costas will stop buying. I saw this headline Raiders
quarterback competition looks like ugly dilemma with no good answer. Boy,
I want to dive into that article. If I'm a
Raider fan. I mean they got Gardner Minshew, who I love.
(10:21):
Aidan O'Connell had a pretty good rookie season. But that's
it doesn't That's why I thought, man, the Raiders are
going to go all in and get Michael Pennix Junior.
I thought they were going to get him. They were
going to go make a big splash there and get
a quarterback. But feels like it's gonna be a rough year.
(10:45):
I mean, you got guys who you know. Max Crosby
is a top fifteen player, Davante Adam's the top fifteen player.
I don't know what you're going to have to show
for it when it's all said and done with that team?
Can you get to seven wins? They went, they won
five of their last nine with Antonio Peers and then
(11:06):
he got the job.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Can you get to seven wins this year? I don't
even know that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is that sound like the over under for the Raiders
seven and a half. Maybe we should check that with DraftKings.
But yeah, sometimes that headline doesn't always reflect what the
article says. This You're like, yeah, that's probably so. Raiders
quarterback competition looks ugly. Looks like ugly dilemma with no
good answer yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And if you're the Chiefs, you're looking at your division,
which is the first thing you got to get past.
You got the Raiders that don't feel threatening, not threatening,
you know they could be Okay. The Broncos probably in
October will start a rookie quarterback so they're not threatening.
And then the Chargers, which they're always threatening in August.
They always look fantastic in August.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And then there's always an injury in September.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
They always Derwin James and their great roster. And I'm just.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Waiting, Mike Williams, keenan Allen.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
There's a reason Andy Reid's not thinking about retires.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, looks around that receiving corps is not there running
back situation, But Jim is going to try to have
the Chargers look like Michigan football.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, Ton and.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Justin Herbert's got this plantar situation that they're hoping he'll
be ready.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's true, that's true. Let me see Rich in South Carolina. Hi, Rich,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Dan? Thanks? Sorry, still love. I'm just imagining you looking
through a piece of bologna at your brother going I
can see you anyway, when you get talking about the
second most important position. I started thinking about that and
during your interview, and if you look at the last
four teams remaining, you know NFC AFC at some point,
doesn't it have to be tight end? Because the best
(12:46):
four tight ends in the league were in the final games.
You got Mark Andrews at Baltimore, Kelsey kc Laporta in
Detroit and then Kittle San fran And and that is
your bailout for when you have a the left hap
I mean, defit then coming down your neck and then
you just dump it over its head. I mean it
seems like when Gronk was with Brady, they would always win.
(13:07):
It was always like, oh once they get Gronk, it
gets you over the hump. And it's just I don't
ever feel like tight ends ever going to be near
get the second position.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But I think it's fair. I think that's that that's fair.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You got the numbers to back it up, Uh, the
examples to back it up. How many great receivers win
Super Bowls? Because that would probably be where I'd start.
If you think the wide receiver is the second most important,
I think he's the second most important During the regular season.
I don't know if that's necessarily the case when it
(13:38):
comes to the postseason.
Speaker 11 (13:40):
Yes, mark traditional wide receiver, probably Tyreek Hill with the
first Super Bowl with the UH with the Chiefs, and
then historically Jerry Rice, Yeah, Michael Irvin.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Let me see Cooper Cup that one. Jamar Chase helped
get the Bengals there. I don't know if having that
number one wide receiver always translates into high level success
postseason success. I mean, I'm just throwing that out there.
I mean, Randy Moss helped get the Patriots to the
(14:15):
Super Bowl. They didn't win it. But the tight end,
certainly with Gronk and that history with Brady, they were
great when Gronk was healthy. The Patriots were great because
that was their offense. They were making sure when they
got down in the red zone that Gronk was going
to get the football. But yeah, you can make a
case with these teams their tight ends. Although didn't Andrews
(14:39):
get hurt with the Ravens last year.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Was ankle here one of those horse collar things?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, yes, Todd, would you count Isaac.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Person Torrey Holt from the Greatest Show on Turf Year?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, but that was the quarterback and the running back. Really,
I mean if Kurt Warner and Marshall Falk are the
ones who shared the MVPs in those regular season But yeah,
you have to have respectable receivers. It's not like you
can go out there and you know, you got us
running around backwards. You got to have guys who are competent.
But when it comes to paying an elite, you know,
(15:11):
justin Jefferson, are the Vikings going to play in a
big playoff game the super Bowl anytime soon? And the
answer is no, they won't. Jamar Chase has already been
in a super Bowl. So I'm looking at let's say
the top five wide receivers. Tyreek Hill, the Dolphin's going
to be in a super Bowl anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Anybody else that you would put up there, and you go,
you know what, they'll be in a Super Bowl? Who
comes to mind. I'm on Ross Saint Brown. He's getting
paid as a top five receiver, but I just think
left tackles important edge rusher to go along with your quarterback.
Then it feels like you make your choice either tight
end or wide receiver. Yeah, Marvin Debo, but he's not
(15:57):
your typical number one receiver. But it feels like San
Francisco had three number one go to guys right four
with McCaffrey and Kittle, an Ayuk and Devo.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But yeah, it feels well the wide receivering.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They're getting paid like they're the second most important position
in football. All right, let me take a break. Bob
Constas will join us coming up next back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Feels like Snoop Dogg's title was co host of the Olympics.
He was everywhere I thought. He came out as the
big winner here and now four years from now in LA,
that's where people are going to be waiting for Snoop Dogg.
I think he happened upon the scene and we're like,
all right, okay, and then all of a sudden, Martha
Stewart's involved in it. They really incorporated I thought, both
(17:30):
of those and celebrities as well, and made it an
even bigger deal, if that's possible, Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Right on cue break, dancing at the Olympics is starting,
and the opening ceremonies for it, Snoop Dogg walked out
in the crowd.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Im Bisser springing, Bob Constace, the Hall of Fame sportscaster
and a host of the Olympics. Many many, many, many
many times. If I would have told you twenty years ago,
fifteen years ago, hey, Snoop's going to be co hosting
the Olympics, you would have said, what.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Dan, What a crushing blow it's going to be when
next spring Snoop Dogg is the guy who denies you
the sports host Emmy yet again, Wow, that is just
going to be. It's wrong on so many levels, but
it's inevitable.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
All Right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I see where we are we've established the battlegrounds already.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Bob shot across the bow.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Okay, but you know the Olympics are about celebrating showcase him.
Would you have pushed back if that was a suggestion
by management that they were going to incorporate Snoop.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
I think the tide was flowing in a direction.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
It's just gobbled me up and taking me out to
see you know, look Snoop is a very personable guy.
I'd encountered him once a few years ago, and he
was very knowledgeable about sports. We mostly talked about the NBA,
and I had a brief encounter with him along with
Al Michael's at the Beach ball Ball venue when I
was in Paris last week.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
You know, he's he's high spirited about it. I get it.
I get what the appeal is.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
And if I was hosting, as long as it didn't
encroach upon in any way what you're primarily there for,
then it's you know, it's just a side dish. It's
a large side dish in this case, but it's a
side dish.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
How has social media changed the Olympic coverage?
Speaker 8 (19:24):
You know, I guess it's even more more out there
than before. The last time I hosted was twenty sixteen.
But the thing that strikes me, and I'm not an
expert on this because I'm not following all the reactions
from the general public, but the athletes themselves, all of them,
even those who are elder statesmen, which might mean that
they're thirty years old, they grew up with social media,
(19:45):
so they're posting throughout You know who is the pole
vault woman from the United States who decided its work
and some people loved it and some people didn't. But
her answer was, look, I make money off of this.
I am popular larity because of this. It's second nature now.
And another thing that I've noted is this every Olympian
(20:06):
just about is going to have a catalog of childhood
photos and videos because everybody all around the world has
the fault. So the entire life of the child from
birth through whatever has has been filmed, and so it's
almost already made documentary, already made for the Olympic profiles.
(20:27):
You know, here's here's Duplantis, Mondo Duplontis when he was
pull vaulting like off his bed when he's three years old.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I was wondering if consciously subconsciously you did this, I
think I did, and that is that you kind of
root for Team USA when you're hosting, even though you're
supposed to be covering the Olympics. Did you ever find
it you kind of blurred the lines there?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Not really, because Team USA almost always did well enough
that there were going to be lots of moments and
they're going to be metal winners brought into the studio.
And I think your job is to be appreciative. We
know that the coverage is going to lean toward the
home team. In Britain, it leans toward athletes from England,
(21:16):
the UK, the same thing in Australia. Everywhere you go.
You go to parts of the world, they'll show a
whole lot of badminton because in Akistan they're really good
at it. In Canada, even if the Canadians don't win
a whole lot of medals and they've done well in
these Olympics, they're going to lean. The CBC is going
to lean in that direction. That's not unique to the
United States. But I think it's.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Our job, or was my job when I hosted.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
It, to be aware and appreciative of the accomplishments of
all the athletes, no matter where they came from.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What do you remember about the Dream Team?
Speaker 8 (21:50):
The mania that surrounded it, you know, walking down the
Roomblas in Barcelona and seeing like a fifteen story building
from the sidewalk to the roof of the building with
a Michael Jordan mural on it. The mania that surrounded them,
and also the idea that their opponents and in most
(22:12):
cases in ninety two they're victims, enjoyed. It was the
guy from was it an Angola who wanted to take
a I guess back back.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Then selfie's were kind of a new thing.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
The ball goes out of bounds and he wants a
selfie with Markley before the balls foot.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Back and play.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
And I also remember Marv Albert in typical dry Marv style.
I threw it out to him for the first game
I think it was the Dream Team against Angola and
he says, Bob, bookmakers in Lo London have taken this
one off the board.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Have you ever I experienced anything close to just the
admiration the fandom that we had with the Dream Team.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Not exactly, because you had a lot of build up
prior to all those players, not just Jordan.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
You know, magic Bird.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Every member of that team, with the exception of Christian
and later, and Christian may be in the Hall of
Fame because the Basketball Hall of Fame is, you know,
combines amateur and pro. So he may be in because
of what he did at Duke, but a part from that,
every other member of the team is a Hall of Famer.
But that fame, at least in the United States, preceded that,
and then the reverberations continued into the subsequent NBA seasons,
(23:30):
So I think it's kind of been a separate category.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
How do we know as city did well in the Olympics, Well, there's.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Just a vibe feeling. There's always a bottom line feeling.
The Greeks got the Olympics in two thousand and four
because of their historic connection to it, but a nation
of only ten twelve million people probably can't put it
on again, and there was a huge economic cost and
a lot of the venues now just sit there with
(23:58):
weeds growing because they have no use for it. Subsequently,
but the vibe in Paris is incredible. It just feels
like a success. It feels right, and even watching at
home wherever home is the United States are anywhere around
the world. This is a huge bounce back from the
last three Olympics, especially the last two. I think Tokyo
(24:22):
would have been an excellent host, but we'll never know
because it's under COVID circumstances. There's no fans in the stands.
And then with the same circumstances in place, all the restrictions,
no fans when they went back to China for another Olympics.
I think by then the understanding around the world that
China is a serious human rights abuser and just a
(24:42):
mockery of the supposed Olympic ideals that turned people off.
Now the COVID circumstances are largely behind us, no alliles notwithstanding,
and there are fans in the stands. It's a beautiful setting.
Everywhere you look. It's a postcard. It's not just the
Eiffel Tower, it's.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Not just the Loop. I was driving to one of
the games with Al Michael's one of the events.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Rather and I said, you know, Al, in the average
American city, maybe not DC or New York or whatever,
in the average American city, the twentieth most appealing building
we will see on this ride would be the centerpiece
building in that city. That's just what Paris is and
this could be the beginning of the Olympics getting its
(25:25):
group back because Milan Courtina seems like an appealing setting
for the next Winter Olympics. And then it's in Los Angeles,
and from an American standpoint, despite all the challenges of
putting it on in security and everything else, there's going
to be a big, big vibe for that. So, you know, Paris,
I think is the start of something really good for
the Olympic movement.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Talking to Bob Costas, I was wondering if the IOC,
and I know there's so much money at stake here
and getting bids from other countries, but yeah, could they
do a rotation? Doesn't a rotation make the most sense
because it doesn't economically damage or you know, these cities,
and even if you have multiple cities involved, it could
(26:05):
be the West Coast could bring you the Olympic Games,
not just the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, that makes some sense, it does. And maybe you
could farm out certain events. Maybe you run the marathon.
You always run the marathon in Greece, they always run
it in Athens, you know, to keep that connection.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
You could probably.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Identify let's say four or five really good host cities
for a Winter Olympics, be a different sort of four
or five around the world for a Summer Olympics. We
know that the IOC is intent on spreading its wings.
They're going back to Australia. That's a good thing. Australia
was a good host in two thousand and there's going
(26:43):
to be another one in the years ahead. They've put
several in Asia, and that's a good thing. As soon
as they can find the right nation and the right
city to host. They want to put an Olympics in Africa,
and those are all good intentions. But to your point,
it's becoming more and more challenging, and a lot.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Of times what happened with Beijing.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I'm not making excuses for the IOC, but a lot
of the other more classic Winter Olympic sites backed out
because of the costs and other issues, security and everything else.
So the list of possibilities is shrinking. So to your point,
it might make sense to have some permanent sites that
rotate them.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Baseball topics, if you will, Paul Skenes against the Dodgers
coming up on Saturday. Who comes to mind, Well, I
guess Dwight Gooden, but who comes to mind that had
sort of this must see TV.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
As far as a pitcher, you know, Vida.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Blue when he started with the A's was like that.
Fernando Fernando pitched like eight shutouts in his first ten
starts or something like that with the Dodgers Fernando Mania.
For a while, there was a whole lot of hype
surrounding Stephen Strasburg and in his first game he struck
out fourteen against the Pirates, as it happened. But and
(28:01):
he had some good years and he was the MVP
of the World Series in twenty nineteen, but injuries kind
of took him off what could have been a Hall
of Fame track. And your point about Gooden is absolutely correct.
And you know there are some athletes where the objective
accomplishments are one thing, and then there's just the poetry
of it. Dwight Gooden was just beautiful to watch, you know,
(28:22):
his motion, the fluidity of it, that classic twelve to
six curveball to go with the high heat. And back then,
I don't want to sound like back in my day, Sonny,
but back then, great pictures finish what they started, and
so they're on the mound when the game ends and
Gary Carter comes out and you know, shakes hands with
Dwight Gooden. We're in an eurowere. Blake Snell, who had
(28:45):
won two cy Young Awards, just pitched his first complete game,
and only because it was a no hitter. So I
think that, you know, some of the drama and theater
is taken away there. I understand all the modern analytics.
I'm not saying it isn't the right strategic approach. From
the standpoint of theater. We're never going to see Bob
Gibson on the mound as the World Series ends, or
(29:06):
Sandy Kofax on two days rest in the seventh game
of the World Series strikes out the last guy in
the World Series ends. That tableau has been taken away.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, but we're going to have to modify our Hall
of Fame expectations for starting pitching.
Speaker 9 (29:21):
Yep, Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
You're going to get people in the Hall of Fame
with fewer than two hundred victories. You know, Dizzey Dean
had fewer than two hundred, but he got injured and
had established Hall of Fame credentials.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Kofax is the best example.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
I think he won only one hundred and sixty five,
but for that five year stretch, he was the best
pitcher on the planet, maybe the best picture of all time.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
You could certainly make.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
A case for him, but generally speaking, two hundred was
a threshold. Three hundred was a cinch. But no one's
ever going to win three hundred again because you just
can't get that many decisions anymore. So I think you
could very well see a guy with one hundred and
forty wins, but with a good era and the analytics lineup,
especially as the electorate and younger voters who have grown
(30:02):
up with this is the norm, no problem with that,
that's their norm, they'll be more receptive to that.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well, it's almost like the running back and the pitcher,
the starting pitcher, huh, very similar. That we've reduced their
necessity there, and we're going to have to reassess running
backs because it's probably going to be more receptions, you know, yeah,
yards after the touch or whatever it might be, not
necessarily running the football.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Plus, when you talk about a thousand yard season, which
used to be a benchmark, or the two thousand yard
season when OJ did it, that's a fourteen game season.
When Jim Brown broke into the league. Was a twelve
game season, then fourteen, then sixteen, now seventeen. So you know,
all those have to be taken into account on a
percentage basis.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
You could have picked other rooms in your apartment, right.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
No, this is the one that works best. I swear.
I said to Eric, your guy there, your production guy there.
I know where you're going with this. I'm just I
have a sense where you're going with this. It's what's
behind me.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
I tried to crop the shot so that it wasn't there.
But when I do this, I cut the top of
my head as far as I can go.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Does that help?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
But it's a message.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean, you know, you came out of the gate
Snoop Dogg's gonna win the Emmy, and then you take
this shot, and now we got sports Emmys over there.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
I mean, yeah, there's.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
They don't all fit behind me. Look here's a panoramic.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
All right, you got me.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All in good fun, Bob, Bob, Do you have any
rooms without emmys?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
Yes, yes, just a few.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Your wife won't let you have an Emmy in the bedroom, though,
Uh no, no, that crosses the line. Great to catch
up with you. Thanks for joining us as always, buddy,
thank you, thank you. That's Bob Costas. That was great.
I asked for it. I asked for it. So Bob
(32:12):
opened it up and then showed the entire room where
all the Emmys.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Unreal, Yeah, unreal.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
He's like, he's got eight of them behind him, and
then he's like, oh, that doesn't need and there was
just another.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Whole wall of them.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That was fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
What a boss. Yeah, what a boss. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
One of the funniest bits when you did not win,
you didn't lose, you didn't win the Emmy. A couple
of years in a row to Bob Costas, he called
in each Monday to talk about her whatever day it was,
and Fritzy and I had the idea on the third
one to invite Bob up and Fritzy and I talked like,
Bob Costa is not going to come up at eight
forty five in the morning on a Tuesday, and Fritzey
(32:56):
calling us, Yes, shir I'll be there. It was like
a two minute conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Hey, brought in an Emmy and he surprised you.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
He was on the phone and back. Yeah, and then
walked out.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Because he would usually say Hello Loser, because we'd have
him on the day after he won the sports SIMMI,
Hello loser, and I went avon.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
He hung out with us afterwards when we went.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
To Yeah Cool.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You had a Texas longhorned baseball hat on jeans. He's
drinking Budweiser at the bar with us, his seats like,
this is blowing my mind.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
He's got on jeans, a hat and it's drinking a
bud heavy. This is one of the greatest days of
my life.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
All right, let me.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Take a break, last call for phone calls. What we learn,
what's in store for Monday. And if you're watching on Peacock,
time to go out to the Tregger grills. And we
got two pies to the face. Fritzie gets one, Paulie
gets one. All of that in the next twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Pauli gets a pie, Fritzie gets a pie, everybody gets enjoyment.
This how we close up shop on Friday all together.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Ever since I was a tona bar.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Alrighty close up shop. Olympic weekend comes to a close
with Paris. I think Olympics are labeled successes by Americans.
When Americans do well, it's like, man, those Olympics were great.
No incidents so far.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
I've been told that NBC wanted to see what the
closing ceremonies were going to be just so there's no controversy,
and that they've watched the closing ceremonies or I guess
what's going on in the closing ceremonies, maybe once or twice,
just to make sure that we don't have any controversy
(34:47):
like we did the opening ceremonies. And then I think
Tom Cruise is supposed to do something spectacular that takes
the games from Paris to Los Angeles. I don't know
what Tom ru is going to do, like a stunt.
I think that's what it's called. I think that there's
a closing ceremony stunt with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Yes, Tom, is he gonna jump on a couch or
table professing his love?
Speaker 7 (35:13):
No wonder, that's not nice.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Can Tom Cruise get insurance on Tom Cruise?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Like?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
How much would that cost?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
When he does his own stunts, And if you're another actor,
you're like.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Oh, God, Cruise show off?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And then didn't you have Ryan Gosling was in The
stunt Man? Was he in that movie The Fall Guy?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
The Fall Guy? Basically the stunt Man? And I don't
know how many of his own stunts that he did.
But now actors are being asked that you do your
own stunts? Are you doing your own stunts like Tom Cruise?
Does Tom Cruise is moniacal? Like I you know, you
got a motorcycle going to go off a cliff and
then your parachute opens up? And is that Tom Cruise
(36:02):
really doing it?
Speaker 9 (36:04):
All?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Right? Last goal for phone calls? How about this day's
sports history? Pump I got a couple huge ones.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Nineteen thirty six, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal
at the Berlin Olympics, the first American to win four
medals in a single Olympics. Nineteen seventy five, the New
Orleans Superdome officially opened. Saints played the Oilers. Cost of
the Superdome to build is nineteen seventy five one hundred
and sixty three million daily. Thompson of Britain in eighty
four went his second consecutive Olympic to cathlon and then
(36:31):
probably the biggest or most impactful trade in sports history.
Nineteen eighty eight, Wayne Gretzky of the Oilers was sent
to the LA Kings. They got three first round draft
picks for.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It and fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Yeah, a little bit of cash.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So Jimmy Carson, Martin Jelena and three first round picks
and fifteen million dollars because Edmonton was Strapford. Cash changed
the league, changed everything for the NHL. Then you wanted
cities in the United States that wanted to have a
(37:06):
team because Wayne Gretzky was going to come to town.
So it was Wayno. It was Marty McSorley and Mike
Crucial Nisky were the players who came with Wayne to
the LA Kings.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
He was crucial to the trade.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, Usain Bolt when's the two hundred meters and that
was back to back, so twenty twelve, I was there
back to back Olympics, he had the one hundred and
two hundred, he ran nineteen point three in the two
hundred meters. I thought that he would be front and
center showcased. I don't know if NBC reached down to
(37:40):
him or if he was doing anything for the BBC.
But I thought we would see Usain Bolt sort of
like we see Michael Phelps and maybe we're going to
see Simone Biles in that role coming up as well.
But you seen Bolt posted a couple of social media things,
but one was a sponsorship for liquor. Other one was
I take a shout out to the Jamaican team. Uh
(38:03):
Jeff in South Carolina, Good morning, Jeff, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (38:07):
Okay, gentlemen, thank you to take my call? First time,
long time five nine A little kind of Dowey two
twenty one, talk in on a BLT aspect the first time.
My wife, so my girlfriend then basically met my parents.
They were cooking dinner and they did BLTs. Well, the
BLTs they decided to make were just playing white flatbread,
(38:30):
no toasted. There's some playing tin bacon and some little
tomato and iceberg lettuce, a little bit to mayo. And
so my wife graciously ate the food and we hang
out with parents. And as soon as we left our parents' house,
my wife looked my now wife looked at me and said, hey,
we need to go someplace elves get some food because
I'm still hungry those BLTs and not enough.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Hey, if JJ Watt was here with these BLTs, he
would take back what he said the blasphemous things he
said about a BLT last hour.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
I think garbage trash. These are really good, really good. Yes,
and they were kind of big and a high.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Before Paulli took his, he kind of had to press
it down, Yeah, just so that he'd be able to
get a bite on him.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yes, very tasty. King in Saint Louis, King, thanks for holding.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 14 (39:17):

Speaker 14 (39:28):
Kind of have to do with my question. Todd brought
up this athlete earlier. I wanted to know if you
can flex your muscle behind the scene and do meet
me a solid and see what you can do about
getting one of my one of my my favorites, the
great Tory Holt from the Greatest Show on Turf. See
if you can push him through, get them off, to
get him off the wait list for the Hall of Fame.
(39:50):
If you look at his numbers compared to some of
his peers in that same position that have gone in
as of late, especially the numbers he put up the
first few years that he was in the league, Tory
Holt's numbers compare to pretty much anyone's whose name isn't
you know, Jerry Jerry Rice?
Speaker 3 (40:07):
All right? What else?
Speaker 9 (40:08):
Do?
Speaker 3 (40:08):

seven Pro bowls. That's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:17):

Speaker 5 (40:20):

Speaker 11 (40:24):

Isaac Holt.

You know what, I'll work on it, Todd, What did
I learn on today's program.
Speaker 9 (40:44):
J J.
Speaker 6 (40:44):
