Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Thursday Dan and The Dan Nets Dan Patrick Show,
the inquiry into Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers continues. The
ever unending story of what exactly happened the circumventing the
salary cap to pay Kawhi Leonard could drag into twenty
(00:25):
twenty seven. This if the parties don't agree on the
findings or any proposed settlement that involves punishing the team.
This according to the Mothership Baxter Homes with this report. Okay,
a proposed settlement that involves punishing the team, does that
mean they can kind of complete their investigation?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Are you negotiating a settlement here?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's what I want to know. Is the investigation kind
of over with? But we're going to act like it's
not with until the Clippers agree to be punished, then
what happens. I think the NBA, if the Clippers are guilty,
has to come down hard on the Clippers and Steve Balmer.
(01:15):
This is one of those Joe Smith and the Timberwolves
five first round draft picks. I think they surrendered. I
don't know what year that was, but this is where
but that's been twenty six years.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Ago, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, that was in two thousand. The NBA punished the
Timberrels four of five first round draft picks and three
point five million dollars and voided Joe Smith's contract.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You got to come down on the Clippers because you can't.
You have to send a message to these teams. You
have to remind them that you can't be doing this.
Do I think this happens in all sports?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I do. I do think there are.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Side deals, sweetheart deals, equity. Hey, come back, resign this,
We'll give you this off the book. I believe that
that happens. I'm not going to be naive with this
and think this is the only one where an owner
might have circumvented the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But you got to come down hard own the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
If I'm the Clippers, I trade whatever first round picks
I have, I trade them.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Can you do that so you can't take away my
first round picks? Will be like twenty forty where you're
taking around my first round picks. And I mean, if
you find Steve Bomer, what's it matter now? You can say, well,
it signifies that you know there's still monetary damages here,
whatever it's going to be, I don't I don't think
(02:41):
Kawhi Leonard is going to get ding for this. And
he's waiting to go to Toronto. So they put that trade
on hold that was going to send Kawhi to the
Toronto Raptors, and it could this could drag into twenty
twenty seven. My goodness, How does this happen? How does
(03:03):
this take ten months? I think going on eleven months? Yeah,
but I saw that report yesterday by the Mothership that
the Kawhi investigation, the Clippers investigation, really it's not about Kawhi.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I mean Kawhi.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
He was like, hey, you want me to play for
the Clippers? I want this and this and this and
this and this, and I'm sure that his cousin made
these similar demands with other teams. I'm guessing. I don't
know if it was. Well, Steve Bamer's got more money,
he could buy the NBA. He's gonna want me there,
(03:41):
he's got a new arena, you know, maybe get into
the postseason whatever, But how long do you have to
unless you're finding out there this is a deeper dive
and there's some more things and maybe you're finding out
are there other teams involved in things like this? Man,
(04:06):
the investigation into Kawhi Leonard has how does it ten months?
Can't you cap this? I mean, I'm sure the attorneys
are going, hey twenty twenty seven, Yes, yes, marm.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
If this is MLB, this would have been over in
a weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's why I brought that up with Tisha Thompson with
the podcast on show, Heyotani in the gambling situation? How
how long from start to finish did it take from
Major League Baseball to wrap that up and to say
show Hao Tani wasn't involved in this at all?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, Paul, they had a pitch clock on the investigation.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
How fast it was?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It felt like that it was like, uh, what happened? Okay,
all right, and no Tani's not involved? Right, No, okay,
to see here? Yeah, come on, let's go send the
interpreter to prison. Yes, yes, dilly.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
If this Clipper.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Situation happening was happening with the Lakers, is there more
or less scrutiny on it?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh, this would be still a huge story, bigger right, Yeah, yeah,
nobody cares about the Clippers.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
But that's helping them right now.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yes, yes, I mean they they care kwhis involved in it.
I think we're fascinated by how they pull this off.
And you're going to give a guy a side deal
where he's going to make twenty seven million dollars for
not doing anything. Now, I remember there were always stories
when I was in college or in high school where
(05:43):
guys would get paid to go and water the football
field even though there was a sprinkler system there, so
you didn't have to water the football field, but you
had a job technically, so they could pay you to
go and.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Watch the water go on and then off. That would
be it.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yes, Paul, very smart of the Clippers not to go
deep into the playoffs to make this a bigger story.
You get to shine off them.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Eight seven to seven to three DP show email address
dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle that DP show. Lebron
James and the Mothership are in business. They're going to
be doing a documentary Should they be in business with
Lebron James? Can you cover Lebron James if you're going
to do a documentary series with him? So that was
(06:31):
the first thing that came to mind. Michael Jordan was
working with NBA Entertainment with the footage with the Last Dance.
ESPN is working with Lebron James. What if you find
something out like the obligation to report it, but also
(06:52):
something for a documentary, Lebron have final say I'm going
to guess in everything that will be in this documentary,
just like Michael did.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, Paul, the concept.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Of documentary is to tell you more about someone who's
undercovered or a store you don't know, and a documentary
about the most covered athlete of the past twenty five years,
like Tiger. I'd rather have a documentary because he seems
more secretive Lebron. It feels like we know most everything
at least.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, it feels like that, you know social media, like
everything has been out in the opening. It feels like
with Lebron James, I don't know what we're going to
find out in a documentary on the last year. Now
here's another thing. If you're going to do a documentary,
this is his last year, because you would want the
(07:41):
last year. I would think it feels like Lebron. Lebron
might get into this and if they play well and
maybe you do one more year, maybe it's a one
plus one because it's a two year deal for eight
million dollars. Are you going to do a two year
documentary on Lebron James? And maybe that's the case. I
don't know, but I'm just finding this out, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Yeah, to Paul's point, this is gonna be tough because
it's almost like the Michael Jackson movie. We already know
so much about him. You're not gonna tell something we
don't know. Michael Jordan was always there's always a mystique
around him. So you heard the opponents. We hear from
opponents that played against Lebron every we talk. We played
Tony Allen cuts yesterday. Yeah, so we're not gonna hear
(08:24):
anything new from former opponents a former avia series of Lebron.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Yes, Dylan, Yeah, you kind of either need like a
character who has an aura or like some salacious details
of that have happened throughout their life that people don't
really know about, you know, some off the field or
court stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, Dennis Rodman would have been more interesting because you
know there was a lot going on, a lot going on.
You bring in Madonna and Carmen Electra, all right, I'm good, Yes, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
I think that's the issue with today's modern athlete. There's
no mistique. There's no aura because of the adventist ocean
media where we know everything about you and everything that
you guys do.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
This week's Sunday Night Baseball, it will be the Red
Sox taking on show Hey and the Dodgers inter League
battle East versus West only on NBC and peak up the.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Sound of the bat?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
What was that to two pitch?
Speaker 8 (09:20):
A little sound of the bat that I make with
my tongue on my palette A trick fan sometimes that's
sitting in front of me.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Sunday Night Baseball it will be the Red Sox going
to Los Angeles to take on show. Hey, O Tony, No,
I say show have Tony, then you give me a
sound effect.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
I jumped it, yeah, through pitch the left side.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm gonna guess you probably do that at home.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
I do do that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
All right, good morning if you're watching on Peacock is
god forsaken shows.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
It wasn't necessary. I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It wasn't. Uh do I amuse you. Draymond Green had
some things to say about Jalen Brunson in the Knicks,
and he was on the Club five twenty podcast.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
It's the New York Knicks, bro. They can afford it.
You gotta take no discount, of course, for them to
get paid. You you ain't gonta my situation. Again, my
situation is different because Steph making two seventy, Clay making
one eight. All right, something guy to get cool. I
could take a little look. I can take less, but
he the top guy. Yes, sir, by the way, let
(10:31):
let Josh Hart or less.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Yeah, they in my role, I want of them take less.
But guess what. Steph Curry ain't take a penny less.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
I feel that, and neither did Klay Thompson ain't take
a penny less.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
So if it's gonna work, somebody do well. Guess what.
I ain't really expecting them to take it. I don't
know what he doing.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
I'm happy for him at this we've got the max,
though the max extension.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
He ain't get the max. That's one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Here's the difference though, because Draymond Green maybe took less
or didn't get paid as much, but he wasn't as
valuable as Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Somebody's saying, Josh Hart,
McHale Bridges should be taking a discount. Well, they weren't
offered two hundred million dollar contracts, so even if they
(11:21):
took less, it's not going to amount to much. Draymond
is saying, well, Steph didn't take any discount. Clay didn't
take any discount. Okay, Jalen Brunson took a discount, But
it's not you know, their success wasn't incumbent upon boy.
If McHale bridges sacrifices and Josh Hart's sacrifices their salaries,
(11:42):
we got a chance to build a championship team.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's not the same, yes, Martin, but.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Brunson taking one hundred million dollars less definitely helped because
now you can afford ogn know he makes thirty seven
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, he he didn't have Klay Thompson.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So if Jalen Brunson wanted to be able to get
everybody that he wanted on that team, he decided to
take less money.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
So and he's not going to the super kitchen any time,
so he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
No, no, everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I think everybody's good. But to say that Bridges should
have been sacrificing his one hundred million or Josh Hart.
They don't get paid that kind of money.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Yeah, Dylney, Yeah, you have to go and like squeeze
them both for like an extra six million dollars for
the for the team.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, it's not the same.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Dream.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He's always got something.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And then you hear stories like if you have a
great relationship with Lebron, I mean, what's it say about
Golden State that you could have stayed in California and
you could have played with Steph Curry maybe even bring
back Klay Thompson for your year. I think what you're
saying is they're not that threatening and Golden State has
(12:59):
whiffed on how many players in the last what five years?
They were in the Janni sweepstakes for a while. Draymond
I guess reportedly was vacationing with Lebron and you can't
convince him to go to Golden State. That's interesting too,
(13:21):
because Lebron and Steph have a great relationship.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It just.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He went where he had the best chance to win.
He might like Draymond Green, but you got to put
up with Draymond Green every single day.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That might get tiring. Yes, Paully.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I've got the Warriors draft history now. They drafted late
in the first round often, but they haven't really gotten
an impact player like Jordan Poole in twenty nineteen, impact temporarily.
The big whiff was twenty twenty, that injury season and
they took James Wiseman out of Memphis and they could
have reset the franchise with a good player, but wasn't
the right draft.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, and most of their like Moody Kaminga, I think
they missed on them as well.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I think they're okay. Yeah, Yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
The end if stuff kind of feels like the end
of Kobe, where they had they whipped on plenty of
opportunities to get high profile free agents and they didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, and you know, Bob Myers isn't there anymore. He's
in Philadelphia consulting them. Let's see Bucky and Notre Dame,
Hi Buck, welcome back, DP and the boys.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Six foot of very soft two fifteen. I was calling,
or I was calling earlier about your guys' poll question
about the knees, the acls, the achilles. I bet both
my knees done yesterday. I just got an injection in
my left Achilles, so try to avoid surgery. And I'm
(15:02):
usually driving to my car when I'm talking to you guys.
So now for the next four to six weeks, I'll
be on a couch with a boot and a scooter
and I'm now I'm watching you guys life on Peacock
and thank you very much. I appreciate it, and you
guys do a great show. And as always, go Irish.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right, thank you, Bucky. Jeff in Florida, Hi Jeff,
what do you have for me?
Speaker 11 (15:23):
Hi Dan, thanks for taking my Paul. I have a
theory about why the Kyle Shanahan story took eleven days
to break. The two parties involved in the car accident
was first, obviously, the nationally recognized head football coach, and
the other party was a twenty one year old so
poo too. The deep pockets belonged to the football coach.
(15:46):
So as soon as he possibly could, he got ahold
of his lawyers and said, Hey, I've been in a
car accident. I need you to reach out to the
other driver and let's try to work out some sort
of a settlement of green so that the other driver
feels compensated and we get a release signed, and then
(16:08):
once all that legal work was done it took about
eleven days, and then as soon as that law was
all taken care of, then the football coach could get
out in front of the store and explain why he
was damaged and injured. And basically it was just to
dodge a huge liability problem.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Maybe And you know, he did say he wasn't on
his phone, he dropped his phone. You know, I'm sure
that you're trying to get around a charge here, but
the niners should still have said our coach was involved
in a car accident. I don't need to know about
your working on a settlement or anything. Just be ahead
(16:49):
of the story. It feels like they keep climbing a
mountain that they created here. I just tell this is
what happened. Nobody's going to be well, wait a minute,
is he on his phone? Is there a settlement?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Who's in fault?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Just your football coach hospitalized, non life threatening injuries, the
other party not injured, and coach expected to be released
from the hospital whenever. You don't even have to tell
me the injuries. He was in an accident, he's hospitalized,
he'll be away for a few days. He might miss
(17:26):
some time during training camp. Make it a football story,
now you made it something more than that. That's all transparency.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We'll come back with more of your phone calls as
well a couple of stories dealing with former players and
CTE Parkinson's. These stories are still there. They're not going
to go away anytime soon. Have that for you coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:56):

We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 10 (18:27):
Yeah, you blubber list lame in me.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Well, you know what it's called over promise.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
You should be good at it because you've been over
promising women for years.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way,
so maybe we'll go at it even.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
A little harder.
Speaker 3 (18:55):

Speaker 12 (18:57):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Cabino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I'm on Green.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
The Packers' career rushing leader, has revealed that he has
Parkinson's disease. He's only forty nine years of age, and
he was on a podcast Go along with Tyler Dunn.
He was diagnosed with early onset of the disease January
of twenty twenty five. He said his short term memory
(19:32):
is quote trash. I've got to remind myself of things.
When I meet somebody for the first time, it's like
a name. I hear the name that I repeat it.
I try to repeat it, write it down, and if
I don't, I've got to follow up with them. I
have somebody close to me who's going through this now,
and when they ask you a question, and chances are
(19:57):
they might ask you that question three times of two minutes.
And it's tough when you see somebody who is probably
a genius mentally, certainly was, and they're having a hard
time short term memory. But you know football CTE. The
(20:22):
linebacker Billy Ray Smith Junior died of CTE caused dementia.
My brother, one of my older brothers, was great friends
with him, work with him in San Diego and radio,
and he was a member of the College Football Hall
of Fame. Billy Race Smith Junior, he was sixty four
years of age and played at Arkansas, played with the Chargers,
(20:47):
and I knew that he was battling this. This was
dementia caused by CTE. But those around him tried to
comfort him as best you can. Former Cowboys edge rusher
Marshawn Neelan, he was diagnosed with CTE after he died
(21:09):
at age twenty four. That was a big story. The
former Cowboys edge rusher. He died a self inflicted gunshot
wound at the age of twenty four. They still play,
you know, and it's not safe. You sign up, you
know it's not safe. But it feels like after the
lawsuit you know, where the NFL had to spend a
(21:33):
billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
That you were signing up and you knew what you
were signing up.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
For, and it almost exonerated the NFL, like, Okay, we
paid paid up and now you know they're trying to
make it safer. And I know we don't like like
the aesthetics of those helmets, the padded helmets, I don't care.
They didn't used to have batting helmets in baseball, I
don't Whatever it is that can protect you your brain,
(22:01):
the rest of your body, you know that's on you.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
But the game is not slowing down. It's getting faster.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
If I can come up with something that doesn't make
your brain rattle, that would be great. If I can
reduce this by a third, I have the number of
lives affected. It's not just the person who has you know,
dementia or Parkinson's, it's everybody around them, medical bills taking
(22:32):
care of them constant. And yes, do we love football?
Do we love the violence of football. Yes we do.
But if we can ensure more safety safeguards, and look,
the NFL has tried to do this. How you can
use your helmet. I mean, go back when you watch
highlights NFL films and you're going, oh my god, did
(22:55):
that guy get suspended? Did he get kicked out? No,
Chuck cecaw We celebrated that hit. I mean Jack Tatum,
we celebrated all of that. Now, we didn't know about CTE,
we didn't know about brain damage. But football has been violent.
You know, people died in college back in the early
(23:18):
nineteen hundreds. They were going to get rid of the sport.
President Roosevelt was like, we might have to get rid
of this sport. And these are just names that I know.
I saw Armon Green a few years ago, and when
he walked in the room, you knew he was in
the room. Then Built, you know, br as they called him,
(23:40):
played for the Chargers on their I think fiftieth anniversary team.
Hall of Famer College Football Hall of Famer at Arkansas.
Grew up in Texas. So it's just a reminder, that's all.
And trust me, if you go to the Hall of
Fame induction ceremony. You're going to be reminded when you
(24:02):
see some of these people that you haven't seen before
and you're going, oh my gosh, and then you realize
they might be in their forties or fifties, and you
realize the toll the damage that football takes on their bodies.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Yeampulling just about two weeks ago, based off what you're
talking about. Boston University they have a Concussion and CTA
Foundation and they dropped a study that they had of
nearly twenty thousand former NFL players and they said they
actually live longer cardio wise and things like that. There's
benefits actually to be a former NFL player. But their
research said that the NFL players' mortality rates for dementia
(24:41):
were three point eight times higher than the normal person,
three point eight eight times higher for Parkinson's disease.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
So no coincidence.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, and everybody's a tough guy. When you play football,
you got to be tough. You have to have that
mentality and you never want to come out of a game.
I always go back when heinz Ward told me the
story he's playing against the Ravens, went over the middle,
got absolutely blasted. He's out and he knows that he's
(25:11):
got a concussion. He grabs his ankle as if to say,
my ankle, that's why I can't get up.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I hurt my ankle.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
He was aware enough of knowing if I go to
the sidelines, they take away my helmet and I'm done,
and I've got a concussion.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
If you go up and you and anybody.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
If you have had a concussion, you know that feeling
where you're like, oh my god. You know, I saw
stars when I suffered a really bad concussion and I
had a head trauma, nearly died from it, but I
was like, I can't shake this. My brain just felt
(25:54):
like it was in somebody else's body. These guys do
that all the time. And even when I talked to
Troy Palamalu and I said, how many concussions goes?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I don't know. I don't know. I'll tell you when
I retire.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
At that point, you don't want to know, Like if
I'm I played that way, and you know, Junior sa
like I already made my decision. I don't after the fact,
it doesn't matter, all right, I had ten concussions.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
How do you feel feel good? Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But it just feels like it's a ticking time bomb
for dementia in Parkinson's.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yeah, Marvin, and when you're when you're in the game,
it feels like the adrenaline overtakes everything that's going on.
Right You're in the middle of this battle and Okay,
your head hurts, but you still have the adrenaline rush.
They get out there and keep playing.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And I mentioned this that if you're ever on the
sidelines and Marvin's been there doing work holding the microphone,
that boom microphone, just the sounds. Football tries to pick
up those sounds. But when you're on the sidelines, you
don't need a microphone to pick up how loud that
(27:13):
is and how fast that is. TV slows it down
so we can kind of consume it, you know. I
go back to when I saw Usain Bolton the London Olympics.
I'm like, damn, but TV stays right on him in focus.
I'm going, whoa wait a minute, that's it. He's gone,
made the turn in the two hundred meters gone.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yeah, Mark, guys moving at that speed at that size
and they're hitting each other and you could you could
hear the you could hear the grunt. I can't even
replicate the sound that it makes. And when you hear
somebody go whoa oh yeah, and somebody gets there, whoa.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yes, and everybody celebrates that. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I wonder if one of the byproducts of the nil
era is that some guy retire a little earlier, or
retire after the first or second concussion because they have
a little bit of dough from college or a lot
of dough from college. There was that running back years
ago we had on out of Yale, Tyler Varga, and
he I think he played for the Colts and he
had a real bad concussion.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
He tapped out.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I think he played one or one and a half
years because he had other things cooking with his career.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, going to Yale, so he had that back, you know,
backdrop there of a great education that you could lean on.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But not everybody. It's these guys don't walk away.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's really hard because you want to stay and like
Tua stayed. He has money and I hope that he
never suffers another concussion, but odds are he will.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Yeah, Dylan, Yeah, I wonder if that this topic at
large would has factored into Aaron Donald's deciding on a
potential return or not because that I mean, I imagine
the reason he retired early kind of went out on top,
like that has to be a factor, right, You're like
thinking about longevity beyond football, which I know not all
guys do, but there are some who just you know
(29:08):
Andrew Locke, maybe I know he had injuries and stuff,
but he's like, I think that's it for me, Like
I'm I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I can't speculate. I don't want to speculate on why
he retired. I think he had a ten year plan
and adhered to a ten year plan. I don't know
the other stuff and don't want to speculate on Hey,
if I play nine years or I play eleven years,
am I gonna get brain damage coming back?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Now?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Is he thinking about that? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I'd want to be fair to him on He seems
like he's in great shape. He accomplished everything he wanted to.
But you run the risk every time you're out there
and he's playing a position where you hit somebody or
get hit every single play, every single play. It's not
like a defensive back or a wide receiver. You don't
(29:55):
get hit blocked tackled every single play, Aaron Donald if
if he comes back, we'll run into somebody every single play.
Let me get a couple of phone calls in here,
Paul and Raleigh. Hey Paul, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Hi?
Speaker 14 (30:12):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (30:13):
Actually I stole the phone from Paul. This is Monica
and Raleigh.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
How you doing today?
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Dan in backroom?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Guys, Hi Monica, how are you?
Speaker 13 (30:23):
I am doing fantastic. Hope you are well. Also, I
just wanted to talk about the Rays leading their division
right now, So don't upset the Tampa baby Henry baby.
Speaker 14 (30:36):
And so, yes, it's my.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
Birthday today and so I'm super excited to see that.
I don't think we need to do anything for the
trade deadline, which is fantastic news. And once again we
are ready for college basketball season in Carolina instead of
dealing with the GM stuff that's going on over there
in the football program.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Well, Monica, how about a happy birthday for Mona. A
thank you Monica and Paul. By the way, yes, yes,
Mark Carl Crawford.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Still play for the Rais Warrior.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Oh here's something for you. Let me see here.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All fifty five UEFA member associations have just agreed to
boycott the Men's and Women's World Cups as a protest
against Jihanny Infantino's plan to sell a twenty one steak
in the FIFA World Cup commercial assets to private investors.
(31:47):
I don't know what that means, but it's not good.
There's an expedited process at North Carolina following a human
resources complaint by a former football front office employee against
Mike Lombardi, so they are expected to have an expedited
(32:09):
process there and a.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Lot going on. I don't know if it's anything good, Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
It came out the other day that the FIFA president
proposed to create a twenty billion dollar company running major
tournaments with private investors, private money, and YUEFA saying none
of us are the owners of football. It's like the
NCAA selling rights. FIFA supposed to be the organizing body.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No one turns down money.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yes, true. Steve in New Hampshire, Hi, Steve, what do
you have for me today?
Speaker 15 (32:44):
Hey? Guys? How are you good?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (32:47):
When you had Will Ferrell in studio recently, he brought
up going back to Ireland and I was talking to
my wife about that the other day because we had
actually planned on going to Ireland next year for my
birthday my fortieth said, if we go to Ireland next year,
maybe Dan Patrick show will be doing an Ireland broadcast
at the Ryder Cup and I can kill two birds
(33:08):
with one stone, as they say. So I just didn't
know if there's any more discussion on that.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh no, nothing yet. No, but Ryder Cup next September. Yep,
but you know it's it's on the table, let's put
it up. But Will Ferrell said, yeah, let's go to
the Ryder Cup take the show over there. He was
(33:37):
all in when we went to Ireland a couple of
years ago and we had a lot of fun over there.
But to go to Ryder Cup a dare Manor. I've
stayed at the adare Manor. Great, great facilities. You had
a pub.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Down in the basement now oh yeah, oh yeah, great gothic.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And yeah yeah, I had it all, golf, fishing, had
it all, yes, Marv.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
And Will was a true dant.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
He said, treat me like you do the dan Nette
and I said, okay, uh pub crawl.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
He sat there and he just said, you tell me
what to do, and I said, all right, all right,
let me take a break.
Speaker 3 (34:19):

Speaker 3 (34:36):
What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Inching closer to the trade deadline, Jeff passing from the
Mothership will join us and Trek Scouble probably his last
appearance as a Tiger pitcher. He was lights out, then
all of a sudden the lights went out and they
ended up losing. I think they're up seven to one
and they lost to the Orioles ten nine.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
Yes, Dylan, Yeah, they're up seven zip in the seventh
inning and blew it for him.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Yes, I was wondering, do Schooble have a screwball because
that would be very cool.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Umm M sorry, no, no, there's a drive.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
Just gear up a double.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Scooball, Schooble, Scooball. How do you think it did today?
Ask me. I'm gonna say be minor.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I liked Fjord. That was okay.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
We'll be about the Norwegian auto industry fjord.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Uh. How about we clean up the pole question Sarah Tilley.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
Surely Dan uh nfl training him. Fights are awesome, posturing
or stupid?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Sixty percent say stupid.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
Aaron Donald is dot dot dot coming back no doubt
on the fence or not coming back? Forty seven percent
say coming back, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Now, the betting odds right now are he's coming back
to play at least one snap correct, yes, okay, minus
two sixty three to come back and play at least
one snap yep, does not play plus four to seventy one.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Translate that for us.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
So it is pretty heavily favored that he is coming back,
according to the betting markets out there. But it's not
a foregone conclusion by any means.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
No, I know that.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
I mean, i'd like, based on the odds like it's
there decently.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
No, I know, but thank you, Todd.
Speaker 10 (36:30):
I thought you asked.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
You said, well, I know, but you still said it's
out of foregone conclusion. We know that then it would
be one hundred percent that he'd be coming.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
If he was back, he'd be back.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Oh yeah, you understand that. I'll try it again.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
There's a chance that he could not come back, but
it's a better chance that he is coming back, but
it's not a foregone What time do.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
You think the higher the odds are, the more Aaron
Donald looks at these things are like, I better get
back out there.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
They got me all the way up there at minus
seven thousand.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Yes, I have a question for Dylan about these different
types of markets, the prediction markets. Is it like a
prop bet? Is there a cap you could bet on
Aaron Donald's return or not return?
Speaker 7 (37:05):
So those those like prediction market apps like Calci and
poly market and stuff, and I guess everywhere has them.
Now it's depends on It's like stocks Quot's like or
whatever any other market. It's based on availability in the
market for that particular thing.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
So you could buy up all of the.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
Contracts for that side, which would essentially limit you in
that way.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Jordan in South Carolina, Hi Jordan.
Speaker 16 (37:30):
Mister Patrick. Uh, I appreciate you taking my call. Uh
I was just the only point that I wanted to
make was, Uh, you were talking about the movie odds earlier,
Who's gonna win Best Picture and whatnot? They're making a movie.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
With with John Mannon.
Speaker 15 (37:51):
Uh. Yeah, Nicolas Cage and and and.
Speaker 11 (37:56):
Christian Bale playing Al Davis.
Speaker 16 (37:58):
And I thought that that might be in the in
the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Now I haven't seen that. With the odds, I'm looking
forward to that. Nicholas Cage looks like John Madden. I
don't know when that movie is set to be released.
I would imagine it would be during the football season.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Now, I want you to do your impersonation with that
Pig movie. I got to get that if you don't mind,
it's a humorous.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Where Where's my pig?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
That's very good.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
That's why Nicholas Cage impersonation that movie Pig.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yes, boy, the.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Madden movie, The John Madden movie drops on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Okay, good timing Chris in Wisconsin. Hi, Chris, what do
you have for me?
Speaker 14 (38:40):
Hey, good morning, Thanks for taking my call. I know
a comment and a question real quick. My comment is,
last week you guys were talking about that called etiquette thing.
My buddies and I would have played the rest of
the round with our pants around our ankles and our
shirts tucked in our underwear, just to be spiteful.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Okay, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Ray Is still people on social media are saying something
to Ray, saying, hey, Bud because he that's what happened
when we were on the golf course where somebody came
up to him had his shirt tail out. Hey, Bud,
tuck your shirt tail in, Yes, stealing.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
We all got Corduroys yesterday, the members of the Gambling
Podcast to support you and surprise you because you're a
big enthusiast. We took a picture of all of us
in the first comment on it was Ray, tuck in
your shirt.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
It's like Marvin's hands if you're watching on Peacock. They
surprised me with the Corduroys. Look it's late July, but
I just felt corduroy, you know, just like, yeah, why not?
Speaker 7 (39:48):
I made fun of the chords for a while, and
yesterday I hand up.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
I'm a man.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah they're pretty great. Yeah, I told you this day
in sports? Okay, is this true? Was today Metallica releasing
Enter Sandman?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yes, okay, who is the first pitcher to use Enter Sandman?
Was it Billy Wagner or Marianna Rivera? Because there's conflicting
reports here, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
I'm double checking right now. I'm pretty sure it was
Billy Wagner. Technically, I know this was kind of a
topic of debate when Billy Wagner's with the Mets and
Mariano Rivera's with the Yankees. Obviously, but I think Mariano
Rivera's level of fame sort of bequeathed the song.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Well, Billy Wagner's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
Yeah, but I mean marian I mean they are still
on slightly different planes.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah, Poul, I.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
Have a couple of details just to help the cause
from the item mal Rivera started using it July sixteenth
of nineteen ninety nine. Virginia Tech football started using it
August twenty seven of two thousand. So we're still trying
to find the Billy Wagner angle.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah, when Billy Wagner was with the Mets, I think
it's when he used an your Sandman, Yes, Dylan, do
you have any thing to add to this?
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:03):
I think Billy Wagner started using it a couple years
prior Tomorrow and Rivera, but not with the Mets. So
then all came to town. Then it became an issue. Oh, well,
was he using it with the Astros?
Speaker 6 (41:15):
Correct? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Wow, So Billy Wagner was the original enter Sandman? Correct?
Speaker 6 (41:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Or Virginia Tech hmm, go round the room and see
if we learned anything. Todd, he must have thought she
was someone famous.
Speaker 8 (41:31):
When Tom Cruise Ross Tucker's wife at the Taylor Swift wedding,
What was that all about.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
Dylan Ross Tucker's wife looks like someone Yeah, apparently a
country singer. Marvin the Tampa Bay Rays our first place.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yay, Monica, Paul Billy Wagner reference Big project coming up.
