Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Wednesday beautiful day. Got here early
at West Coast call time of four thirty in the morning,
came outside. Nobody says anything as we're driving over to
the golf course. It is quiet in the car, and
dress accordingly if you're in There's certain areas in the
country where you can go from fifty degrees to eighty
(00:27):
degrees in the span of a couple of hours, and
tahoes like that. When you're up early. It was probably
upper forties, low fifties. It'll be gorgeous and probably sunny
in eighty in a couple of hours here. But we're
here for the American Century and they've been doing it
for thirty six years. Star Studed Affair, Aaron Rodgers is here,
(00:48):
Steph Curry's here, Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, you got Jason

so excited to be out here at NBC. Our partners
with Peacock and they have set us up. If you're
watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Behind
us is the driving Range. Behind us is the lake
(01:09):
behind us the mountains, and it almost looks like you
could put a painting there, or it is a painting
behind us. With the lake. It is gorgeous. And you
know certain places where you take it for granted. Every
time I've come out here, I just walk over to
the lake every single day, walk over to the lake.
Just take it all in because that water is beautiful
(01:33):
and it is cold, all of that water coming down
from the mountains here. You still got some snow in
certain mountain ranges here and great for skiing snowboarding here
as well. Eight seven seven to three DP show email
address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle a DP show coming up.
We'll talk to DeVante Adams now with the La Rams
(01:54):
he's out here playing, and Joe Buck, who we spoke
to yesterday. Your phone calls are welcome him. Operator Tyler
sitting by to take those calls. Do we have a
poll question for the final hour of the program. By
the way, Fritzy is not with us. If you're watching
or you're listening, he is in London. He scheduled a
vacation before we decided to come out here to Tahoe,
(02:15):
so Fritzy is there with his family watching Wembledon and
didn't get He did get a shout out on Pardon
the Interruption yesterday by Michael Wilbon because there is a
tennis player named Taylor Fritz who is playing in Wembledon,
and it sounded like this yesterday on PTI can't help but.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Look forward to at Fritz, Tod Fritz.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm gonna let you get something most of that, but
Prince and Al.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Kiraz is gonna be if figures me would.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Held him mat So Michael Wilbon makes the mistake, started
the show. They're talking about Wembledon, and then Tony Kornheiser
has to correct him. Yeah, I want to start.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It's it's Taylor Fritz.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's on to Taylor first.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I'm from his name.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Because I always think of Taylor Swift, but I'm always
starting with him.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And if I don't get the text from Todd Fritz later,
I'll be disappointed. Uh So, Fritzy is in London, but
we couldn't pass up the opportunity to come out here
and spend a few days. It is beautiful, people have
been wonderful and it's a it's a big, big celebrity.
This is the biggest celebrity event we have in the
(03:25):
United States the world for that matter, considering everybody who's
out here. And it's not just athletes, you got actors,
you got I don't head of the w NBA, I
think is out here. I mean it's Larry the Cable
guy is out here. I mean there's a variety of
Ray Romano is out here. I played around with Ray
(03:46):
Romano and uh yeah, starting and and he was just
learning to play. In fact, the first time I came
out here, Ben, I played with Ben Roethlisberger. He was
just learning to play. Aaron Rodgers was kind of starting out.
Roethlisberger isn't here, but Aaron Rodgers is here. Charles Barklay,
(04:08):
I think he has the worst odds to win this.
I thought he was back, like he had improved his game.
But I got the seventy seven hundred and fifty seventy
five hundred to one odds to win this thing for Charles,
who I believe will be joining us tomorrow. Yes, yes,
Marvin is the hitch gone in his swing? Yeah yeah, yes,
he went to a hypnotist to try to get rid
(04:31):
of it. And I remember when this first started because
I played with Charles this is a long time ago,
and he shot an eighty one. He was No. Seventy nine.
He was really good, short game, really good. He went
to a teaching pro I believe in Houston, and the
golf instructor said, pause at the top of your swing,
(04:55):
just like a split second pause. You know, there's a golfer,
Hedeki Matsuyama who does pause at the top of his swing.
Colin Moorekwa has a little bit. So Charles paused and
then he couldn't get back down to the ball. He just,
(05:15):
you know, mentally could not get started, and it screwed
him up for a long, long, long time. But he
loved the game and he kept playing and got rid
of that. Finally got rid of that hitch, all right.
Joe Buck we spoke to him, of course, the voice
for ESPN and ABC, and when he was at Fox
(05:36):
he called everything he called golf, football and baseball, And
I asked him, what is the difference between calling golf,
football and baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Golf was so different than I thought going in. And
you can prepare yourself all you want, but we all
fall asleep to it on the couch when we're watching it.
When you're sitting in that chair. It's why I have
so much respect for Jim, for Mike, for Dan, for
all the guys that do it regularly, because it happens
(06:08):
so fast, because you're not watching any of it with
your own eyes like live. It's all on monitor, so
you're getting information in your ear, like, Okay, we're going
to speak on four. It's a second shot. He's made
two birdies in a row, and so you just you
do like broadcast news, Let's go to speF on four.
It's a second shot. He's made two birdies in a row.
And you know, it's a little unnerving to be relying
(06:31):
on other people's information. I rather make my own mistakes
or do my own thoughts instead of just parroting what
I'm hearing in my ear. So long winded way of saying, baseball,
football way easier, way slower than you would think compared
to golf.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But also how many times have you had to fake
that you didn't know what was going to happen to
the golfer who was standing over a twenty foot or
to take the sole possession.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well that's the thing. I mean, you know all the
websites which you find out when you do golf, how
closed the community is. And like when Fox showed up
and then I'm calling it and it's not Dan Hicks
and Johnny Millard. It's like, oh my god, aliens have
landed on my TV and I cannot believe they're trying
to do golf. Their camera people suck. They can't find
(07:17):
the golf ball. We were Chambers Bay, it was Glary.
They're the same camera people that did it for NBC.
So it wasn't that now the guy in the chair
wasn't that good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's me.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
But you have to What you realize is if you're
gonna have a TV event and try and build any
drama whatsoever, you can't just do live shot, live shot,
live shot, live shot. You have to hold stuff to
make it, build a narrative as to where the thing
is going. And it takes a while to get into
(07:49):
that too. There's a you know, you I can see
on my laptop that a guy just made Birdie, but
it's not on the scoreboard I'm looking at. And if
it's not on the scoreboard, I'm looking at and make Bertie.
Yet we got to act like he's about to make Birdie.
So it's it's a lot of convoluted stuff that that's
handled better by smarter people.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I talked to John Smoltz and he said that he's
not on social media, that he'll maybe hear from his
kids about liar.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He's got burner accounts. He knows what's going on in
social media.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But do you need social media? Like, like, is it
part of your life? No.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I go on.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There periodically if I want to find out how awful
I am. If I'm feeling good about myself, I go
on social media. And then that just brings me back
to when this start.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
When did this start? Where you just for me or
for you? Ah?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, I think you know, I'm I'm kind of uniquely
positioned by being the World Series guy and the postseason
baseball guy from the advents of social media to now.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I haven't done it in four years, so I'm out.
But I think when you do the World Series and
every game is done by local TV announcers, I mean
you can watch it. You could put Cardinals in Cubs series.
You put Boog Shambi's call of a Cubs home run
and then boog Shambi's call of a Cardinal home run,
(09:22):
and it's night and day. It's yay us boo them.
That's the way you're supposed to do it. He does
it for the Cubs, and I think when you show
up and now you're getting excited for both teams, the
fan bases are like, why is this guy excited that
the Red Sox guy just hit a home run? He sucks,
he hates my team. And so add social media into
(09:42):
it and it just kind of becomes a thing. I
go to therapists for it. I suck my thumb again
because of it. But yeah, I mean, you just have
to realize. And I told Joe Davis when he took
over for me, and he and I have had long
talks about it. You just have to be willing to
put up with that, knowing that that's just part of
(10:03):
the job.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm talking to Joe Buck. I don't I'm not on it,
but I always say to the Dan Antley said, if
you guys read something that keeps me honest, great, Yeah,
but I don't need to hear ten people say you're
great and the eleventh person to say, why don't you retire?
That's the one you remember.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, you just scroll right through the nice ones and
you go right to the mean person.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, I read fan mail from the bottom up because
if it says sincerely, chances are it probably started nice.
But if it said hate you or fu and okay,
no need to go up top and read it. No.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And I'm pretty much to the point where I won't
open it if there's no return address on it, because
most of the time they want something sent back. Yeah,
but I mean, I'm not sitting here complaining about it.
I really am not. I've kind of put that in
its own box and I kind of laugh at it
a little bit. And to be honest with you, when
(10:59):
you leave it, you know, you have to retire or
die for people to say you were ever any good.
And so I haven't died yet, but I've retired from baseball,
and then I did one Yankee game at the beginning
of the year and it's like becomes viral where oh,
Joe Buck's doing baseball again, thank god? But was it were?
How are you people? For twenty four years? So it's
(11:22):
just it is what it is, and you have to
just kind of take it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
When did we get to the point where we had
to fill all of the time with voices? When you
do play by play and then you have a color
analyst and then maybe another color analyst. And if you
go back and listen to you know, yesteryear, there was
breathing and it was almost treating you as if, Hey,
I'm talking to you and we don't need to be.
(11:47):
You know, you and your wife can sometimes sit and
not talk a lot, But.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
At dinner on the couch, yeah, we've got seven year
old twins.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
But everybody, it just feels like it's wall to wall.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, I agree, and I think it should have been.
It should be really the reverse because and I say
this to broadcast students all the time, like, don't be
afraid to not talk. I think that little voice in
your head is telling you. If I don't say something here,
the audience thinks I don't know what to say.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And it's that.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Insecurity, And I think insecurity breeds over talking. I could
make the case that with the advancements that have been
made in audio, there really is no more dead air.
Dead air doesn't exist anymore. If I don't talk, you're
gonna hear you know whoever Aaron Rodgers calling signals out
(12:43):
at the line of scrimmage, or just good natural sound
or just the sound of a crowd enjoying a game,
and that's really the beauty of baseball, kind of that
hum that happens underneath. And I always tried to do
the game like that. You know, I tried to pick
my spots. I realize I'm not doing radio. I don't
need to talk, I don't need to go. Hey, here's
(13:04):
a two to one pitch. So and so rares back
lets it fly, swinging a ground ball to short. Jeter
goes in the hole, backhand and stop long throat bounces
at the first dugout by the first baseman.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Two out.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I can just go Jeter to his right, two out.
That's that's how I always tried to do a game's
because that's how I would want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But my favorite announcer of all time is somebody that
most people don't know. It's Ray Scott because my.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Dad used to work with him.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But he was economical. Yeah, and it was it'd be
Packers against the Bears. He would say star dollar first out. Yeah,
And I love the cadence to it because it just
felt like he respected me as a football fan.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, but you got to realize that we're old. I'm
the same way and you know that's not the way
of twenty twenty five. And that doesn't make it right,
wrong or indifferent. But I when when Pat Summer and
John Madden left and now all of a sudden, it's me,
Troy and Chris Collinsworth, I took the bait of trying
to be Pat summerle and I go back and I
(14:10):
listened to myself in the early two thousands and I'm like, yuck, man,
I hate that because I'm doing the Montana Rice touchdown
and then Madden. It was beautiful because Madden was bouncing
off the walls, and then Pat was the straight man
and just hit the notes and just let you enjoy
(14:31):
it for what it was. But I took that bait.
I never really tried to be my dad. I did
take a lot of cues from him, and a lot
of the pacing was the same. But I fell into
the trap of trying to be Pat. And I realized,
looking back at it, there's only one path.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You crushed me when your father was dying and you
used to go to the hospital, I believe, and read
to your father. Yeah, what were you reading to your
dad when he was dying?
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You know, basically the sport page. You know, I wasn't
reading poetry.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
He was.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He was at a time in his life before he
got sick, right before he got sick where he was
writing a lot of it. And one of the results
of that was the poem that he read at Bush
Stadium after nine to eleven. So he was always in
this mode. At the end of his life. He was
a depressionary kid. He was a World War Two vet
who got shot in Germany. He was in Paris when
(15:24):
the war ended and saw de Gaul speak. I mean,
he lived a life and at the end of his life,
I think he knew the end was coming. He was
very retrospective. He was writing a lot of poetry, he
was watching a lot of war documentaries, and he was
just kind of It wasn't the sports Jack Buck anymore.
It was so I would read sport, the sports page.
(15:46):
I would read, you know, a little excerpts out of
a book that he was reading before he went into
the hospital. But he was he was at the point
where he was incapacitated. He had a track, so he
couldn't really talk, and it was it was Shakespearean. It
was this guy with his great voice, great mind, his
mind was there to the end, but he couldn't speak
(16:07):
and he had to mouth everything to me. And so
going there every day, I would try to find off
times because I have seven brothers and sisters, one full
six half, and everybody was coming in different shifts. But
I tried to find all the off times because I
just wanted it to be the two of us. And
you know, I've told the story a million times, and
(16:28):
I'm not going to drone on about, you know, saying
my goodbyes to him the night before he died, when
I knew they were going to pull all the equipment
and all the respirator and everything out of him. But
I did a Cardinal game the night that night, and
I was driving by the hospital, and you know, he
hadn't passed away yet, and my family had all left,
and I went and went up to see him and
(16:51):
said a couple of things in his ear and kissed
him goodbye, and he had passed away before I got
to the car, and so I and they had pulled
the TV down by his head when when I was
doing it. It was a Cardinal's Angels game and Daryl
Kyle was going to die that same week, Mike Sosha
was amazing pushing a game back. It was just it
was a crazy time. But he was listening to me
(17:13):
doing the game, and I think he was waiting for
me to come say goodbye. At least my narcissistic life
thinks that. And maybe if I'd never gone, he'd still
be alive today three years later.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But I did. I went, and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sure, why would you go there? Yeah, you killed your father?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Wow, that got sentimental and dark in an.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Earth, But he would love that. That was his sense
of humor he had. The best thing I had with
my dad was that I could make him laugh, even
when I was a little kid. So he could take
me on the road and he was a tough audience,
but I got through to him, and some of it
was really dark, but he wanted me around. And that's
what's set up the rest of my life by just
being there with him on the road, seeing the life, uh,
(18:01):
just from the eyes of a broadcaster, and getting a
master's class in it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Really every night, good to see you. Thanks for Shure,
Thank you, thanks so much, Joe Buck.

couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up

Speaker 2 (18:33):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
You ass along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman,
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Try to sneak in a few more phone calls here
in Tahoe, hoping Charles Barkley will spend some time with
us Tomorrow. Austin Reeves, the great comedian Nate Bargatzi is
set to join us, I believe on Friday. Also one
of the Kelsey brothers, I believe Jason is going to
(19:26):
join us as well. So very fortunate where we're set
up right by the driving range and we just ran
into Davante Adams. They of course is now with the Rams,
was with the Raiders, of course Green Bay and pretty
good golfer. I was just talking to him. He's a
six handicap, which you know, that's where you get to
(19:48):
You get up there now you can kind of have
fun and compete with everybody. He's a six time pro bowler,
three time All Pro. Now with the La Rams, we
welcome in Devonte Adams, who joins us on the program.
Saw him out there. We were trying to trying to
impress him. He was trying to pick out who was
(20:08):
who gave the aura of being a quarterback, and I
think DeVante realized that nobody is going to be ready.
At least sounding wise, Seaton sounded like Aaron Rodgers with
his or No, Paulie, did you gave the a green nineteen? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
As a lifelong Bears fan, I can't tell you how
many team many times I've watched and saw Aaron Rodgers
draws off side with the green tea.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
That your owner. Definitely he did that quite a bit,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But even you're not in Green Bay anymore? But is
there still animosity hatred with the Chicago Bears. Does that
follow you the rest of your life? Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
No, Honestly, I've met so many fans. I feel like
I meet more fans in the NSC North down because
they actually come forth and speak to me. So I
let him out. Yeah cool, we can actually be friends now.
You know, I don't mind it. We have still in
NFC now, but I'm not in the NFC Norse, so
you know, I don't. I don't hate the Bears anymore.
That was just the thing that that last while I'm there.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, so they'll talk to you now because you're not
in the division. Yeah, if you were still with the
Packers Bears, fans wouldn't be talking.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
No, they don't introduce themselves quite as much. I think
they they they tend to hold back when I was
with the Packers.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Do you have a favorite story that you tell of
your time with the Packers?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
That's a that's a tough one. I was there for
eight years, so quite a bit of stories.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You got a Rogers story that you're gonna tell your kids' grandkids?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Oh yeah, I don't. I don't know if I can
say that. Tell tell one of them that the good
ones on the Dan Patrick Show. I might get in
some trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
But but you can you can have the language maybe, yeah,
you know, if you have to change the language a
little bit.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Well, my I guess one of a pretty good story
I have is one of the first stories. So my
basically first game plan was the Detroit Lions game. I
played like eight players in the in the season opener
against the Seahawk, So we open up the season and
you know, I kind of got my feet wet in
that game, and then the Detroit game, I got a
few more meaningful snaps.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So I get out there.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
In one of my first snaps, I'm on the right
side and I'm by myself, and we had a signal
that was this, and we had a signal that.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Was this, oh so very close.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
So and especially when it's full speed, mid cadence, you know,
Aaron time.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
So I see that.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
And basically the timing that you got now when you're
dealing with a person like Aaron, and you come to
learn the details are very very important, right, So this
signal is for when you're by yourself, So you wouldn't
get this signal typically if you're over there with another
tight end or another, you know, a slot receiver with you,
and I was outside. I wasn't playing in the slot
(22:49):
as much at that point. So if you get this,
you're typically for when you're alone. You get this. That's
a two man concept, right, I'm just a rookie coming in.
It's my second game plan. I'm not really ready to
you know, process all that, especially not mid caiden twitch up.
I don't even know if we ever even did that
again after that. I think it might have been a
test and I failed it. But I'm over there in
the boundary and green nineteen and he does that, so
(23:11):
Boom almost pooped myself for sure. And then I say, okay,
well I'm gonna run the slant. I think this is
the slant. So I come off the ball and I
run full speed. Now, the problem with that was that
the other route is a one step like stop right
where you are, so you're not moving anywhere, and the
ball's coming out immediately. So as soon as I drive
(23:32):
off the ball, take that step and stick for the slant,
the ball's flying to the where I basically was standing
the night before I even move. And then I looking
at him, I looked like flip my eyes to him,
and then I see the bass, so I flipped it
and I'm like looking back and forth, and I'm like,
and he's flying at me.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Just just this when you.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
See that finger come out and he starts skipping, you know,
you know it's problems. So I see him skipping over
toward me, and I've seen it in practice, but I wasn't.
It's less embarrassing in practice because you run all your
teammates and we you know, we were all getting it.
And he softened up over time, so he doesn't really
do that anymore. But that was twelve years ago. He
was he was a little bit more fiery. So but
(24:11):
what's that like going back to the huddle.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
It's it's not well.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
First of all, I had to deal with it before
I even got to the huddle, because I mean, he's
literally approaching.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Me as this is happening.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
So I'm going to him and I'm and I say,
I thought, I thought you gave you know whatever, And
then in the moment, I think that's sometimes the worst
thing to do, whether it's to your parents, to your
your your you know, your uncle, your veteran quarterback, it's
to say something that isn't like a legitimate response to them.
And I thought it was a legit response because this
signal and this signal or damn close.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
So I'm like, I thought you meant the other one.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
And then he taught me what details are about, and
he says, breaks that whole thing. I told you now
about the two man versus one man concept, and you
got to be able to take care of that in
your head, like you know, if you I'm not going
to give you a two man concept to a one
man's side, So you have to understand.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You got to do the math quickly and make that work.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So right then I said, okay, that next week I
just dove into the details.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Is different.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
And I mean, the man changed my life because he
got me, He got me dialed into the you know,
knowing just how important small things are in this game.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You were in Vegas and it felt like you can
blend in in Vegas. That didn't you know? You went
to a party, I think, and you had people didn't
know what you did for a living.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah that was my daughter's party.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah okay, oh so it's your daughter's party.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It was her party.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
We invited the parents of her school and her classmates too,
And I wasn't at the school as much at that point,
so they had no idea. They see Daja at school,
they had no idea that I was her father. So
they show up at the house and it's a little
weird for him.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So when did they realize what you do for a living?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Well, they all knew what I did for a living,
they just didn't know that I was the one whose
house they were showing up to. So they showed up
at Devonte Adam's house thinking they were just going to
their kids friends' birthday party. And I was there a greeting.
I'm saying, hello, welcome to my house.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Did you have your jersey on?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I didn't, I was. I was wearing my helmet though.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But but in Green Bay you can't walk around you're
not anonymous in Green Bay.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean it's to be honest, it's it's not
as comfortable as i'd like just period. But in Green
Bay there's there's a lot more people of fair skin there,
So I think I think just that alone kind of
draws a little attention, not in a bad way, but
like you know, it's like you're here, so you know,
(26:34):
and I look a little athletic, so even if they
don't know, sometimes they kind of know.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah the package correct, Yeah, yeah, don't know what position.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
But you like, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
I have my manager who is by no means appearing
to be a football player. He's he is of the
darker complexion, I will say that. But we go to
a Buffalo Wia Wings. It's like my second year and
I'm sitting there with my hood on and they got
my strings pulled and I'm waiting for the order, and
so he walks by him. He's like five to seven,
not in amazing shape, and it doesn't again, doesn't look
(27:06):
like he plays football. And they walked by him, tapped
on the shoulder and go good luck Sunday.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Just just and that let me know.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I was like, yeah, I think I don't think I'll
be outside too much out here.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But Los Angeles you can blend in.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
You can blend in a lot better there, that's for sure.
And it's built a little bit more for that.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
But have you met celebrities?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
And oh yeah, well I've met celebrities.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I mean I played in New York, I got I
played in you know, in uh in Vegas. So I've
had the opportunity to come across a lot of people.
But LA is full of him.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That okay, but give me the oh my god, that's
such and such.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Since being on the Rams or just period period. I
mean your your jay Z's your you know, obviously Bron
is a big one, and me being in LA. He
actually I saw him at Fanatics Fast in New York
just recently, and he's coming through it. Anywhere Lebron goes.
I don't know if you've ever been around Lebron. They
(27:59):
based that there's music playing, they cut the music off.
They made it's like the biggest deal in the world.
So when he walks through, everybody's just like staring at him.
And he came through and he was just kind of
walking with security and then he like gave like fully
embraced me as like the only person in like the building,
and everybody was looking at me like that, and I
wasn't expecting. I was just sitting there with my water
just kind of zipping, and I saw him. I was like,
(28:20):
what's up, and he just leaned over fully embraced me,
started talking about the LA thing and everything.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
So you know, I'm just a young humble dude.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
For Me's Paul Alto California, And obviously I know who
I am to people, but you lose sight of that
when you are, you know, humble and just staying focused
on continuing to get better. And when you got a
guy like Lebron that'll come in and only embrace you,
you know, immediately out of in a building, that obviously
means a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
What kind of football player do you think Lebron would
have made?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
He would have He would have been one of the
best receivers tight ends all time, no question. I don't
know if you've ever seen him play football. I saw
him play a high school.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, he can.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
He can fly to That's the thing he's He's one
of the fastest NBA players probably all time. I've never
seen somebody cover space on a basketball court. Maybe John Wall,
Derrick Rose, something like that.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
But but he's up there with all of them.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But you get guys whenever I bring up basketball players
playing football and they go, yeah, once they get hit
one time and then we'll see.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well they Bron doesn't help his case by the way
act sometimes, but I do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I do think it's it's.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
A little bit strategy in there, So I don't I
don't think he's actually like banged up every time. Now,
if you're doing that in football, we're gonna have some
issues and that might slow the game up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Because, Uh, but you guys, do you flop in football? Yeah,
like yourself trying to get a call.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
The football flop is like when you're trying to like
get under a dude's skin and he pushes you, and
you do that to get a flag, not like not.
You know, you'll get some flops like p I flops
and stuff like that a little bit, but it's never
like it's never like.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The soccer dudes.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Like I think soccer is really the worst soccer dudes
when they I think it's because the game doesn't stop.
Maybe that's what it is, so they really need some
breaks in the game. But these dudes get like touched
on their shoulder and they like are grabbing the shoulder,
mouth is wide open, screaming and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So I think they'd be a little worse off.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Do you have a hit that was a welcome to
the NFL hit?
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Oh? Absolutely well.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I've gotten hit more than what I would like in
this league, that's for sure, But I would say welcome
to the league was my.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It was either either Dante high Tower.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
My my first year, I caught a slant, a high
one and brought it in and he hit me, knocked
the wind out of me, and then I was safe
after that. Probably my second year, preseason, we were playing
the Patriots and I ran another slant and thought I
was getting busy after this is before I would wear
a mouthpiece, and caught it and I was getting ready
(30:42):
to turn up and Jamie Collins just hit me in
my in like like one of these like in your chest,
and it raised up so it made me bite through
my tongue and I couldn't eat food for like a
week and a half.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I had that. It was on like a strictly liquid die.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Why don't you wear a mouthpiece?
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Well my reason it's gonna be even dumber than that.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So okay, can we guess why DeVante Adams wouldn't wear.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
A mouth Let's yeah, I would love to see you
know what?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
You have very nice teeth and a good smile. I
think for branding he didn't want to cover up the
money maker.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You want to keep those teeth. That's why you wear
the cheating What do you think? I think because they
taste funny all right, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
New teeth, new teeth, like he had gotten them done.
Oh okay, no, that's not it. But I would say
it's dumber than all of those for sure. I would
wear a gold grill like like the the gold teeth
in in game, so I would I wore I wore
the tops and bottoms in games. And it was it
started in high school because it was kind of like
(31:46):
a culture thing. That's I grew up in East Palotto
and that was a that was a real popular thing.
Guys wore grills, and I just decided to keep it,
and it was kind of it worked as kind of
like an intimidation factor.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
A little bit too. I will see people.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
People will see it and be like, oh's wearing the
old teeth in the game.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
And then I'll talk a little crazier to him too,
obviously and put all that together. So yeah, not the
best reason, and I put one in the next game
after that.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He is a three time All Pro, six time pro
bowler now with the Rams. Davante Adams, how much work
have you had with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Quite a bit, man.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
We got right to it, had a really productive offseason,
and I've worked probably some of the hardest I've worked,
Just feeling really rejuvenated and ready to go and win
some games.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
So he looks amazing too.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
He looks just like the Matthew Stafford we all fell
in love with seventeen years ago when he came in
doing his thing. So I'm having a lot of fun
doing it with him. How's McVeigh just like everybody says.
I mean, I haven't heard anybody say anything different about McVeigh.
I think of any coach ever spoken.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
About to me.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
It's been the most uniform feedback ever. And then I
got around him and he completely validated.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
He's got some energy.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
He's got energy he's got but it's all legit.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
It's real. You can you can you can feel him.
You just love being around his energy. Even when you
don't do things wrong or you don't do things right,
and you may have, you know, messed something up, like
you don't feel that like, oh my coach is gonna
come down on me, like he's gonna correct you and
he's gonna hold you accountable. But it's it's just a
different feeling in that building right now. Anybody that you're
looking forward to meeting here in Tahoe. I really, I've
(33:24):
got to look at who's all here this year. I
haven't even seen fully everybody, but I've seen a lot
of thee and yeah, yeah, I've met all those guys.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I was on the par five on the other side
of the course when he knocked it in on uh,
I think it was number seven.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
What did you hit one?
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yeah, when he hit the whole on one, I think
that was seven. Yeah, And I heard it from like
the other side of the course, So I felt like
I met him then if I didn't meet.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Him before that, I know that you got Taco Bell hat. Yeah,
and uh so you're you're flying the colors there, Yes, sir,
you're so. You walk into Taco Bell and you ordered what.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Two crunch Trap Supremes, one, Dorito's Locals, Taco Supreme, no
tomatoes on either or two of the other and depending
on kind of where I'm at with that, Carmel, Apple
and Panada if they want to bring that back again
for me. I did bring that back for a while
Mexican pizza as well. So you guys are completely welcome.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Marvin. You're he's speaking your language here. Contract Supreme for
me with the Mountain Dew, Baja Blast.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
There you go. You got to go to the CANTEENA
in Vegas. They throw something in that for you if
you if you're interested, and just drop your name right, yeah,
just just tell them, tell them you there, tell them,
tell them tasting you tay.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They'd be like, oh you know tea, Yeah, I'll go
the cheesy Gordida crunch though, okay, and then these Cinnabon
delights as well.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Oh wow, you you depending your bag there?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah we might.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm feeling like we did some research.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
We're professionals here, attention to detail, just like Aaron Rodgers.
There you go, yeah, you go, what's great to meet?
And uh, good luck. Know that you're a six handicap,
so you're getting into that area where you might not
improve as much as you did when you're correct around nine, ten, eleven,
twelve handicap. Then you see improvement. Now you're gonna be like, damn,
(35:14):
I'm still six.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
The worst thing you can ever do in golf is
get better. I'm telling you, it's so frustrating. I'll still
where I could just run around just having a sip
a crown and.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Just enjoying again.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
At eighteen now I care too much about it. Oh,
so you won't sip any Crown royal out there.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I'll sit, but I would they were a little stronger
SIPs back then.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I will say thanks again for joining us, and good
luck this upcoming season.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Thank you appreciate.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
That's Davante Adams will take a break, last call for
phone calls, what we learn, what's in store.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Right after this, 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.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
WAP FUN first day. I hope you enjoyed it here
in Tahoe. We'll be here the next two days. John
Smoltz early in the show talked about shoe Hey o
Tani and why he wouldn't use him as a closer,
but maybe the Dodgers will use him in the postseason.
Picked some spots that you could bring him in as
a closer, but he might be who knows how many
(36:18):
innings he might be pitching then, but you could maybe
on a day where he's had a few days rest,
bring him in situational reliever. There we had big cat
pft from barstool, pardon my take, they're writing a book
after their ten years together. Let's see. Joe Buck told
his story and I don't know if you've heard it before,
(36:41):
but I just went It hit me because when he
was talking about his father, legendary father, Jack Buck, and
he was dying and Joe would go to the hospital
and read to his father, and his father couldn't communicate,
he had a tube down his throat, and you know,
he talked about that game that he called and he
(37:01):
was driving by the hospital and saw the light on,
and you know, they they made sure that his father
got to hear Joe call a Saint Louis Cardinal game
and it was just it was done in a in
a Joe Buck way. He told the story and then
it became dark humor after that, and he said, you
know that my dad would love that that it was
(37:23):
dark humor that he was kind of pointing out the
obvious loss of his father. But there was a joke
in there as well, and Davante Adams a lot of fun.
I had a lot of personality there. So tomorrow on
the show, we're still working on that. I think Barkley
for Friday, but yeah, we have a we have a
(37:44):
great guest list pending, uh, just because of the time
frame of being on from six until nine in the morning.
Guys getting here, and guys get here and they're serious,
they're serious about playing. You know, Smoltz's grinding, Ray Allen Roma,
all of these guys, they're like, it's really really important
to them. Yes, balling.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
What Devanta Adams said stuck out not to me because
I never played golf. Well, but imagine improving at golf
and make you want to play more and work on
it more.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, you get to a point where you don't improve,
you know, like Jordan has been I think a four
for a long time now. I don't know if he's
better than that. I think he said he was a
four and he wasn't a four. And you lose money
that way. But you know, Michael wanted to improve, keep improving.
He plays all the time. But you get to a
certain point where that's probably as good as you're going
(38:37):
to get. And that can be frustrating for these guys
who are always chasing, chasing, chasing, and then you realize,
you know, maybe this is as good as I get.
All right, let me see anything that this day in
sports history. Paul do you have some items for us. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Nineteen sixty eight, the first All Star MLB game played
indoors at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. Nineteen eighty five,
herschel Walker, New Jersey General's named MVP of the league
as a rookie. And oh, this was a this is
a set. Nineteen ninety seven Mike Tyson banned from the
boxing ring and find three million dollars four fighting the
ear off of Evander Holyfield.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
A portion of his ear. Yeah, well and it wasn't
a full ear. Apologies, Yeah, a full ear. Let's see.
The Red Sox in nineteen fourteen purchased Babe Bruce minor
league contract he was nineteen years of age for twenty
five thousand dollars. Seems like they do that about every
three weeks in this day sports. Is something about Babe Ruth,
(39:36):
Something about a Babe Ruth contract. H On this date,
nineteen sixty eight, Will Chamberlain became the first MVP, the
reigning MVP to be traded the next season when he
left Philadelphia to go to the Lakers. Let's go around
the room. What we learned on the program, Paul, would
you learn today? The weather changes fast? Yes, it does.
(39:58):
It was chilly Shelle at around four point thirty this morning,
but now it is gorgeous. Seaton, what did you learn today?
DeVante Adams kitchen air quotes is a short game. Yes,
he was getting some tips from Tony Romo. It's it's
cool to see the different sports. You know, sometimes you're
talking to a basketball player, baseball player, whoever, because you
(40:20):
get paired with guys that you are not used to
or hanging around? Is it a seven? He isn't a driver?
Had what would you use? Maybe that's why Tony Romo
is not joining us on the show. It's very I mean,
we spent that's him as a broadcaster. We did the
whole no Eu Romo for years about it's frustrating and disappointing.
(40:42):
We've we spent the better part of the eighteen years.
I know this dude. That's why when we asked for
Tony Romo and they said he's politely to time, I go, okay,
I'll take the polite I know. Marvin, what did you
learn today?
Speaker 4 (40:54):
You played golf of Ray Romana?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I did. For over forty years, ty Rag has been
helped and customers find the right tires for how and
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options, and mobile
tire installation as well tyraq dot com. The way tire
buying should be uh waite, that's your Ray Romano in person.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
On the spot.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Sometimes they just come out okay, all right, I think
you're Tony Romo is a lot better. Yeah okay, well
maybe he's got to work on it. Thanks for joining us,
our pleasure to serve you for the entire gang making
this possible. The great folks at NBC, Pauli Seaton, Marvin
Ray Romano, Tony Romo, talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Everybody else
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Wednesday beautiful day. Got here early
at West Coast call time of four thirty in the morning,
came outside. Nobody says anything as we're driving over to
the golf course. It is quiet in the car, and
dress accordingly if you're in There's certain areas in the
country where you can go from fifty degrees to eighty
(00:27):
degrees in the span of a couple of hours, and
tahoes like that. When you're up early. It was probably
upper forties, low fifties. It'll be gorgeous and probably sunny
in eighty in a couple of hours here. But we're
here for the American Century and they've been doing it
for thirty six years. Star Studed Affair, Aaron Rodgers is here,
(00:48):
Steph Curry's here, Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, you got Jason
and Travis Kelsey, George Kittle here as well, and us
so excited to be out here at NBC. Our partners
with Peacock and they have set us up. If you're
watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Behind
us is the driving Range. Behind us is the lake
(01:09):
behind us the mountains, and it almost looks like you
could put a painting there, or it is a painting
behind us. With the lake. It is gorgeous. And you
know certain places where you take it for granted. Every
time I've come out here, I just walk over to
the lake every single day, walk over to the lake.
Just take it all in because that water is beautiful
(01:33):
and it is cold, all of that water coming down
from the mountains here. You still got some snow in
certain mountain ranges here and great for skiing snowboarding here
as well. Eight seven seven to three DP show email
address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle a DP show coming up.
We'll talk to DeVante Adams now with the La Rams
(01:54):
he's out here playing, and Joe Buck, who we spoke
to yesterday. Your phone calls are welcome him. Operator Tyler
sitting by to take those calls. Do we have a
poll question for the final hour of the program. By
the way, Fritzy is not with us. If you're watching
or you're listening, he is in London. He scheduled a
vacation before we decided to come out here to Tahoe,
(02:15):
so Fritzy is there with his family watching Wembledon and
didn't get He did get a shout out on Pardon
the Interruption yesterday by Michael Wilbon because there is a
tennis player named Taylor Fritz who is playing in Wembledon,
and it sounded like this yesterday on PTI can't help but.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Look forward to at Fritz, Tod Fritz.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm gonna let you get something most of that, but
Prince and Al.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Kiraz is gonna be if figures me would.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Held him mat So Michael Wilbon makes the mistake, started
the show. They're talking about Wembledon, and then Tony Kornheiser
has to correct him. Yeah, I want to start.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It's it's Taylor Fritz.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's on to Taylor first.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I'm from his name.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Because I always think of Taylor Swift, but I'm always
starting with him.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And if I don't get the text from Todd Fritz later,
I'll be disappointed. Uh So, Fritzy is in London, but
we couldn't pass up the opportunity to come out here
and spend a few days. It is beautiful, people have
been wonderful and it's a it's a big, big celebrity.
This is the biggest celebrity event we have in the
(03:25):
United States the world for that matter, considering everybody who's
out here. And it's not just athletes, you got actors,
you got I don't head of the w NBA, I
think is out here. I mean it's Larry the Cable
guy is out here. I mean there's a variety of
Ray Romano is out here. I played around with Ray
(03:46):
Romano and uh yeah, starting and and he was just
learning to play. In fact, the first time I came
out here, Ben, I played with Ben Roethlisberger. He was
just learning to play. Aaron Rodgers was kind of starting out.
Roethlisberger isn't here, but Aaron Rodgers is here. Charles Barklay,
(04:08):
I think he has the worst odds to win this.
I thought he was back, like he had improved his game.
But I got the seventy seven hundred and fifty seventy
five hundred to one odds to win this thing for Charles,
who I believe will be joining us tomorrow. Yes, yes,
Marvin is the hitch gone in his swing? Yeah yeah, yes,
he went to a hypnotist to try to get rid
(04:31):
of it. And I remember when this first started because
I played with Charles this is a long time ago,
and he shot an eighty one. He was No. Seventy nine.
He was really good, short game, really good. He went
to a teaching pro I believe in Houston, and the
golf instructor said, pause at the top of your swing,
(04:55):
just like a split second pause. You know, there's a golfer,
Hedeki Matsuyama who does pause at the top of his swing.
Colin Moorekwa has a little bit. So Charles paused and
then he couldn't get back down to the ball. He just,
(05:15):
you know, mentally could not get started, and it screwed
him up for a long, long, long time. But he
loved the game and he kept playing and got rid
of that. Finally got rid of that hitch, all right.
Joe Buck we spoke to him, of course, the voice
for ESPN and ABC, and when he was at Fox
(05:36):
he called everything he called golf, football and baseball, And
I asked him, what is the difference between calling golf,
football and baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Golf was so different than I thought going in. And
you can prepare yourself all you want, but we all
fall asleep to it on the couch when we're watching it.
When you're sitting in that chair. It's why I have
so much respect for Jim, for Mike, for Dan, for
all the guys that do it regularly, because it happens
(06:08):
so fast, because you're not watching any of it with
your own eyes like live. It's all on monitor, so
you're getting information in your ear, like, Okay, we're going
to speak on four. It's a second shot. He's made
two birdies in a row, and so you just you
do like broadcast news, Let's go to speF on four.
It's a second shot. He's made two birdies in a row.
And you know, it's a little unnerving to be relying
(06:31):
on other people's information. I rather make my own mistakes
or do my own thoughts instead of just parroting what
I'm hearing in my ear. So long winded way of saying, baseball,
football way easier, way slower than you would think compared
to golf.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But also how many times have you had to fake
that you didn't know what was going to happen to
the golfer who was standing over a twenty foot or
to take the sole possession.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well that's the thing. I mean, you know all the
websites which you find out when you do golf, how
closed the community is. And like when Fox showed up
and then I'm calling it and it's not Dan Hicks
and Johnny Millard. It's like, oh my god, aliens have
landed on my TV and I cannot believe they're trying
to do golf. Their camera people suck. They can't find
(07:17):
the golf ball. We were Chambers Bay, it was Glary.
They're the same camera people that did it for NBC.
So it wasn't that now the guy in the chair
wasn't that good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's me.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
But you have to What you realize is if you're
gonna have a TV event and try and build any
drama whatsoever, you can't just do live shot, live shot,
live shot, live shot. You have to hold stuff to
make it, build a narrative as to where the thing
is going. And it takes a while to get into
(07:49):
that too. There's a you know, you I can see
on my laptop that a guy just made Birdie, but
it's not on the scoreboard I'm looking at. And if
it's not on the scoreboard, I'm looking at and make Bertie.
Yet we got to act like he's about to make Birdie.
So it's it's a lot of convoluted stuff that that's
handled better by smarter people.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I talked to John Smoltz and he said that he's
not on social media, that he'll maybe hear from his
kids about liar.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He's got burner accounts. He knows what's going on in
social media.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But do you need social media? Like, like, is it
part of your life? No.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I go on.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There periodically if I want to find out how awful
I am. If I'm feeling good about myself, I go
on social media. And then that just brings me back
to when this start.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
When did this start? Where you just for me or
for you? Ah?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, I think you know, I'm I'm kind of uniquely
positioned by being the World Series guy and the postseason
baseball guy from the advents of social media to now.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I haven't done it in four years, so I'm out.
But I think when you do the World Series and
every game is done by local TV announcers, I mean
you can watch it. You could put Cardinals in Cubs series.
You put Boog Shambi's call of a Cubs home run
and then boog Shambi's call of a Cardinal home run,
(09:22):
and it's night and day. It's yay us boo them.
That's the way you're supposed to do it. He does
it for the Cubs, and I think when you show
up and now you're getting excited for both teams, the
fan bases are like, why is this guy excited that
the Red Sox guy just hit a home run? He sucks,
he hates my team. And so add social media into
(09:42):
it and it just kind of becomes a thing. I
go to therapists for it. I suck my thumb again
because of it. But yeah, I mean, you just have
to realize. And I told Joe Davis when he took
over for me, and he and I have had long
talks about it. You just have to be willing to
put up with that, knowing that that's just part of
(10:03):
the job.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm talking to Joe Buck. I don't I'm not on it,
but I always say to the Dan Antley said, if
you guys read something that keeps me honest, great, Yeah,
but I don't need to hear ten people say you're
great and the eleventh person to say, why don't you retire?
That's the one you remember.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, you just scroll right through the nice ones and
you go right to the mean person.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, I read fan mail from the bottom up because
if it says sincerely, chances are it probably started nice.
But if it said hate you or fu and okay,
no need to go up top and read it. No.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And I'm pretty much to the point where I won't
open it if there's no return address on it, because
most of the time they want something sent back. Yeah,
but I mean, I'm not sitting here complaining about it.
I really am not. I've kind of put that in
its own box and I kind of laugh at it
a little bit. And to be honest with you, when
(10:59):
you leave it, you know, you have to retire or
die for people to say you were ever any good.
And so I haven't died yet, but I've retired from baseball,
and then I did one Yankee game at the beginning
of the year and it's like becomes viral where oh,
Joe Buck's doing baseball again, thank god? But was it were?
How are you people? For twenty four years? So it's
(11:22):
just it is what it is, and you have to
just kind of take it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
When did we get to the point where we had
to fill all of the time with voices? When you
do play by play and then you have a color
analyst and then maybe another color analyst. And if you
go back and listen to you know, yesteryear, there was
breathing and it was almost treating you as if, Hey,
I'm talking to you and we don't need to be.
(11:47):
You know, you and your wife can sometimes sit and
not talk a lot, But.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
At dinner on the couch, yeah, we've got seven year
old twins.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
But everybody, it just feels like it's wall to wall.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, I agree, and I think it should have been.
It should be really the reverse because and I say
this to broadcast students all the time, like, don't be
afraid to not talk. I think that little voice in
your head is telling you. If I don't say something here,
the audience thinks I don't know what to say.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And it's that.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Insecurity, And I think insecurity breeds over talking. I could
make the case that with the advancements that have been
made in audio, there really is no more dead air.
Dead air doesn't exist anymore. If I don't talk, you're
gonna hear you know whoever Aaron Rodgers calling signals out
(12:43):
at the line of scrimmage, or just good natural sound
or just the sound of a crowd enjoying a game,
and that's really the beauty of baseball, kind of that
hum that happens underneath. And I always tried to do
the game like that. You know, I tried to pick
my spots. I realize I'm not doing radio. I don't
need to talk, I don't need to go. Hey, here's
(13:04):
a two to one pitch. So and so rares back
lets it fly, swinging a ground ball to short. Jeter
goes in the hole, backhand and stop long throat bounces
at the first dugout by the first baseman.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Two out.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I can just go Jeter to his right, two out.
That's that's how I always tried to do a game's
because that's how I would want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But my favorite announcer of all time is somebody that
most people don't know. It's Ray Scott because my.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Dad used to work with him.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But he was economical. Yeah, and it was it'd be
Packers against the Bears. He would say star dollar first out. Yeah,
And I love the cadence to it because it just
felt like he respected me as a football fan.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, but you got to realize that we're old. I'm
the same way and you know that's not the way
of twenty twenty five. And that doesn't make it right,
wrong or indifferent. But I when when Pat Summer and
John Madden left and now all of a sudden, it's me,
Troy and Chris Collinsworth, I took the bait of trying
to be Pat summerle and I go back and I
(14:10):
listened to myself in the early two thousands and I'm like, yuck, man,
I hate that because I'm doing the Montana Rice touchdown
and then Madden. It was beautiful because Madden was bouncing
off the walls, and then Pat was the straight man
and just hit the notes and just let you enjoy
(14:31):
it for what it was. But I took that bait.
I never really tried to be my dad. I did
take a lot of cues from him, and a lot
of the pacing was the same. But I fell into
the trap of trying to be Pat. And I realized,
looking back at it, there's only one path.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You crushed me when your father was dying and you
used to go to the hospital, I believe, and read
to your father. Yeah, what were you reading to your
dad when he was dying?
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You know, basically the sport page. You know, I wasn't
reading poetry.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
He was.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He was at a time in his life before he
got sick, right before he got sick where he was
writing a lot of it. And one of the results
of that was the poem that he read at Bush
Stadium after nine to eleven. So he was always in
this mode. At the end of his life. He was
a depressionary kid. He was a World War Two vet
who got shot in Germany. He was in Paris when
(15:24):
the war ended and saw de Gaul speak. I mean,
he lived a life and at the end of his life,
I think he knew the end was coming. He was
very retrospective. He was writing a lot of poetry, he
was watching a lot of war documentaries, and he was
just kind of It wasn't the sports Jack Buck anymore.
It was so I would read sport, the sports page.
(15:46):
I would read, you know, a little excerpts out of
a book that he was reading before he went into
the hospital. But he was he was at the point
where he was incapacitated. He had a track, so he
couldn't really talk, and it was it was Shakespearean. It
was this guy with his great voice, great mind, his
mind was there to the end, but he couldn't speak
(16:07):
and he had to mouth everything to me. And so
going there every day, I would try to find off
times because I have seven brothers and sisters, one full
six half, and everybody was coming in different shifts. But
I tried to find all the off times because I
just wanted it to be the two of us. And
you know, I've told the story a million times, and
(16:28):
I'm not going to drone on about, you know, saying
my goodbyes to him the night before he died, when
I knew they were going to pull all the equipment
and all the respirator and everything out of him. But
I did a Cardinal game the night that night, and
I was driving by the hospital, and you know, he
hadn't passed away yet, and my family had all left,
and I went and went up to see him and
(16:51):
said a couple of things in his ear and kissed
him goodbye, and he had passed away before I got
to the car, and so I and they had pulled
the TV down by his head when when I was
doing it. It was a Cardinal's Angels game and Daryl
Kyle was going to die that same week, Mike Sosha
was amazing pushing a game back. It was just it
was a crazy time. But he was listening to me
(17:13):
doing the game, and I think he was waiting for
me to come say goodbye. At least my narcissistic life
thinks that. And maybe if I'd never gone, he'd still
be alive today three years later.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But I did. I went, and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sure, why would you go there? Yeah, you killed your father?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Wow, that got sentimental and dark in an.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Earth, But he would love that. That was his sense
of humor he had. The best thing I had with
my dad was that I could make him laugh, even
when I was a little kid. So he could take
me on the road and he was a tough audience,
but I got through to him, and some of it
was really dark, but he wanted me around. And that's
what's set up the rest of my life by just
being there with him on the road, seeing the life, uh,
(18:01):
just from the eyes of a broadcaster, and getting a
master's class in it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Really every night, good to see you. Thanks for Shure,
Thank you, thanks so much, Joe Buck.

Speaker 2 (18:33):

Speaker 7 (18:34):
You ass along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman,

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Try to sneak in a few more phone calls here
in Tahoe, hoping Charles Barkley will spend some time with
us Tomorrow. Austin Reeves, the great comedian Nate Bargatzi is
set to join us, I believe on Friday. Also one
of the Kelsey brothers, I believe Jason is going to
(19:26):
join us as well. So very fortunate where we're set
up right by the driving range and we just ran
into Davante Adams. They of course is now with the Rams,
was with the Raiders, of course Green Bay and pretty
good golfer. I was just talking to him. He's a
six handicap, which you know, that's where you get to
(19:48):
You get up there now you can kind of have
fun and compete with everybody. He's a six time pro bowler,
three time All Pro. Now with the La Rams, we
welcome in Devonte Adams, who joins us on the program.
Saw him out there. We were trying to trying to
impress him. He was trying to pick out who was
(20:08):
who gave the aura of being a quarterback, and I
think DeVante realized that nobody is going to be ready.
At least sounding wise, Seaton sounded like Aaron Rodgers with
his or No, Paulie, did you gave the a green nineteen? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
As a lifelong Bears fan, I can't tell you how
many team many times I've watched and saw Aaron Rodgers
draws off side with the green tea.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
That your owner. Definitely he did that quite a bit,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But even you're not in Green Bay anymore? But is
there still animosity hatred with the Chicago Bears. Does that
follow you the rest of your life? Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
No, Honestly, I've met so many fans. I feel like
I meet more fans in the NSC North down because
they actually come forth and speak to me. So I
let him out. Yeah cool, we can actually be friends now.
You know, I don't mind it. We have still in
NFC now, but I'm not in the NFC Norse, so
you know, I don't. I don't hate the Bears anymore.
That was just the thing that that last while I'm there.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, so they'll talk to you now because you're not
in the division. Yeah, if you were still with the
Packers Bears, fans wouldn't be talking.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
No, they don't introduce themselves quite as much. I think
they they they tend to hold back when I was
with the Packers.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Do you have a favorite story that you tell of
your time with the Packers?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
That's a that's a tough one. I was there for
eight years, so quite a bit of stories.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You got a Rogers story that you're gonna tell your kids' grandkids?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Oh yeah, I don't. I don't know if I can
say that. Tell tell one of them that the good
ones on the Dan Patrick Show. I might get in
some trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
But but you can you can have the language maybe, yeah,
you know, if you have to change the language a
little bit.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Well, my I guess one of a pretty good story
I have is one of the first stories. So my
basically first game plan was the Detroit Lions game. I
played like eight players in the in the season opener
against the Seahawk, So we open up the season and
you know, I kind of got my feet wet in
that game, and then the Detroit game, I got a
few more meaningful snaps.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So I get out there.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
In one of my first snaps, I'm on the right
side and I'm by myself, and we had a signal
that was this, and we had a signal that.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Was this, oh so very close.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
So and especially when it's full speed, mid cadence, you know,
Aaron time.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
So I see that.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
And basically the timing that you got now when you're
dealing with a person like Aaron, and you come to
learn the details are very very important, right, So this
signal is for when you're by yourself, So you wouldn't
get this signal typically if you're over there with another
tight end or another, you know, a slot receiver with you,
and I was outside. I wasn't playing in the slot
(22:49):
as much at that point. So if you get this,
you're typically for when you're alone. You get this. That's
a two man concept, right, I'm just a rookie coming in.
It's my second game plan. I'm not really ready to
you know, process all that, especially not mid caiden twitch up.
I don't even know if we ever even did that
again after that. I think it might have been a
test and I failed it. But I'm over there in
the boundary and green nineteen and he does that, so
(23:11):
Boom almost pooped myself for sure. And then I say, okay,
well I'm gonna run the slant. I think this is
the slant. So I come off the ball and I
run full speed. Now, the problem with that was that
the other route is a one step like stop right
where you are, so you're not moving anywhere, and the
ball's coming out immediately. So as soon as I drive
(23:32):
off the ball, take that step and stick for the slant,
the ball's flying to the where I basically was standing
the night before I even move. And then I looking
at him, I looked like flip my eyes to him,
and then I see the bass, so I flipped it
and I'm like looking back and forth, and I'm like,
and he's flying at me.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Just just this when you.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
See that finger come out and he starts skipping, you know,
you know it's problems. So I see him skipping over
toward me, and I've seen it in practice, but I wasn't.
It's less embarrassing in practice because you run all your
teammates and we you know, we were all getting it.
And he softened up over time, so he doesn't really
do that anymore. But that was twelve years ago. He
was he was a little bit more fiery. So but
(24:11):
what's that like going back to the huddle.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
It's it's not well.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
First of all, I had to deal with it before
I even got to the huddle, because I mean, he's
literally approaching.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Me as this is happening.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
So I'm going to him and I'm and I say,
I thought, I thought you gave you know whatever, And
then in the moment, I think that's sometimes the worst
thing to do, whether it's to your parents, to your
your your you know, your uncle, your veteran quarterback, it's
to say something that isn't like a legitimate response to them.
And I thought it was a legit response because this
signal and this signal or damn close.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
So I'm like, I thought you meant the other one.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
And then he taught me what details are about, and
he says, breaks that whole thing. I told you now
about the two man versus one man concept, and you
got to be able to take care of that in
your head, like you know, if you I'm not going
to give you a two man concept to a one
man's side, So you have to understand.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You got to do the math quickly and make that work.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So right then I said, okay, that next week I
just dove into the details.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Is different.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
And I mean, the man changed my life because he
got me, He got me dialed into the you know,
knowing just how important small things are in this game.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You were in Vegas and it felt like you can
blend in in Vegas. That didn't you know? You went
to a party, I think, and you had people didn't
know what you did for a living.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah that was my daughter's party.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah okay, oh so it's your daughter's party.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It was her party.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
We invited the parents of her school and her classmates too,
And I wasn't at the school as much at that point,
so they had no idea. They see Daja at school,
they had no idea that I was her father. So
they show up at the house and it's a little
weird for him.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So when did they realize what you do for a living?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Well, they all knew what I did for a living,
they just didn't know that I was the one whose
house they were showing up to. So they showed up
at Devonte Adam's house thinking they were just going to
their kids friends' birthday party. And I was there a greeting.
I'm saying, hello, welcome to my house.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Did you have your jersey on?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I didn't, I was. I was wearing my helmet though.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But but in Green Bay you can't walk around you're
not anonymous in Green Bay.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean it's to be honest, it's it's not
as comfortable as i'd like just period. But in Green
Bay there's there's a lot more people of fair skin there,
So I think I think just that alone kind of
draws a little attention, not in a bad way, but
like you know, it's like you're here, so you know,
(26:34):
and I look a little athletic, so even if they
don't know, sometimes they kind of know.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah the package correct, Yeah, yeah, don't know what position.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
But you like, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
I have my manager who is by no means appearing
to be a football player. He's he is of the
darker complexion, I will say that. But we go to
a Buffalo Wia Wings. It's like my second year and
I'm sitting there with my hood on and they got
my strings pulled and I'm waiting for the order, and
so he walks by him. He's like five to seven,
not in amazing shape, and it doesn't again, doesn't look
(27:06):
like he plays football. And they walked by him, tapped
on the shoulder and go good luck Sunday.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Just just and that let me know.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I was like, yeah, I think I don't think I'll
be outside too much out here.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But Los Angeles you can blend in.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
You can blend in a lot better there, that's for sure.
And it's built a little bit more for that.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
But have you met celebrities?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
And oh yeah, well I've met celebrities.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I mean I played in New York, I got I
played in you know, in uh in Vegas. So I've
had the opportunity to come across a lot of people.
But LA is full of him.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That okay, but give me the oh my god, that's
such and such.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Since being on the Rams or just period period. I
mean your your jay Z's your you know, obviously Bron
is a big one, and me being in LA. He
actually I saw him at Fanatics Fast in New York
just recently, and he's coming through it. Anywhere Lebron goes.
I don't know if you've ever been around Lebron. They
(27:59):
based that there's music playing, they cut the music off.
They made it's like the biggest deal in the world.
So when he walks through, everybody's just like staring at him.
And he came through and he was just kind of
walking with security and then he like gave like fully
embraced me as like the only person in like the building,
and everybody was looking at me like that, and I
wasn't expecting. I was just sitting there with my water
just kind of zipping, and I saw him. I was like,
(28:20):
what's up, and he just leaned over fully embraced me,
started talking about the LA thing and everything.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
So you know, I'm just a young humble dude.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
For Me's Paul Alto California, And obviously I know who
I am to people, but you lose sight of that
when you are, you know, humble and just staying focused
on continuing to get better. And when you got a
guy like Lebron that'll come in and only embrace you,
you know, immediately out of in a building, that obviously
means a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
What kind of football player do you think Lebron would
have made?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
He would have He would have been one of the
best receivers tight ends all time, no question. I don't
know if you've ever seen him play football. I saw
him play a high school.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, he can.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
He can fly to That's the thing he's He's one
of the fastest NBA players probably all time. I've never
seen somebody cover space on a basketball court. Maybe John Wall,
Derrick Rose, something like that.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
But but he's up there with all of them.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But you get guys whenever I bring up basketball players
playing football and they go, yeah, once they get hit
one time and then we'll see.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well they Bron doesn't help his case by the way
act sometimes, but I do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I do think it's it's.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
A little bit strategy in there, So I don't I
don't think he's actually like banged up every time. Now,
if you're doing that in football, we're gonna have some
issues and that might slow the game up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Because, Uh, but you guys, do you flop in football? Yeah,
like yourself trying to get a call.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
The football flop is like when you're trying to like
get under a dude's skin and he pushes you, and
you do that to get a flag, not like not.
You know, you'll get some flops like p I flops
and stuff like that a little bit, but it's never
like it's never like.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The soccer dudes.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Like I think soccer is really the worst soccer dudes
when they I think it's because the game doesn't stop.
Maybe that's what it is, so they really need some
breaks in the game. But these dudes get like touched
on their shoulder and they like are grabbing the shoulder,
mouth is wide open, screaming and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So I think they'd be a little worse off.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Do you have a hit that was a welcome to
the NFL hit?
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Oh? Absolutely well.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I've gotten hit more than what I would like in
this league, that's for sure, But I would say welcome
to the league was my.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It was either either Dante high Tower.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
My my first year, I caught a slant, a high
one and brought it in and he hit me, knocked
the wind out of me, and then I was safe
after that. Probably my second year, preseason, we were playing
the Patriots and I ran another slant and thought I
was getting busy after this is before I would wear
a mouthpiece, and caught it and I was getting ready
(30:42):
to turn up and Jamie Collins just hit me in
my in like like one of these like in your chest,
and it raised up so it made me bite through
my tongue and I couldn't eat food for like a
week and a half.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I had that. It was on like a strictly liquid die.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Why don't you wear a mouthpiece?
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Well my reason it's gonna be even dumber than that.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So okay, can we guess why DeVante Adams wouldn't wear.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
A mouth Let's yeah, I would love to see you
know what?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
You have very nice teeth and a good smile. I
think for branding he didn't want to cover up the
money maker.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You want to keep those teeth. That's why you wear
the cheating What do you think? I think because they
taste funny all right, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
New teeth, new teeth, like he had gotten them done.
Oh okay, no, that's not it. But I would say
it's dumber than all of those for sure. I would
wear a gold grill like like the the gold teeth
in in game, so I would I wore I wore
the tops and bottoms in games. And it was it
started in high school because it was kind of like
(31:46):
a culture thing. That's I grew up in East Palotto
and that was a that was a real popular thing.
Guys wore grills, and I just decided to keep it,
and it was kind of it worked as kind of
like an intimidation factor.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
A little bit too. I will see people.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
People will see it and be like, oh's wearing the
old teeth in the game.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
And then I'll talk a little crazier to him too,
obviously and put all that together. So yeah, not the
best reason, and I put one in the next game
after that.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He is a three time All Pro, six time pro
bowler now with the Rams. Davante Adams, how much work
have you had with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Quite a bit, man.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
We got right to it, had a really productive offseason,
and I've worked probably some of the hardest I've worked,
Just feeling really rejuvenated and ready to go and win
some games.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
So he looks amazing too.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
He looks just like the Matthew Stafford we all fell
in love with seventeen years ago when he came in
doing his thing. So I'm having a lot of fun
doing it with him. How's McVeigh just like everybody says.
I mean, I haven't heard anybody say anything different about McVeigh.
I think of any coach ever spoken.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
About to me.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
It's been the most uniform feedback ever. And then I
got around him and he completely validated.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
He's got some energy.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
He's got energy he's got but it's all legit.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
It's real. You can you can you can feel him.
You just love being around his energy. Even when you
don't do things wrong or you don't do things right,
and you may have, you know, messed something up, like
you don't feel that like, oh my coach is gonna
come down on me, like he's gonna correct you and
he's gonna hold you accountable. But it's it's just a
different feeling in that building right now. Anybody that you're
looking forward to meeting here in Tahoe. I really, I've
(33:24):
got to look at who's all here this year. I
haven't even seen fully everybody, but I've seen a lot
of thee and yeah, yeah, I've met all those guys.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I was on the par five on the other side
of the course when he knocked it in on uh,
I think it was number seven.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
What did you hit one?
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yeah, when he hit the whole on one, I think
that was seven. Yeah, And I heard it from like
the other side of the course, So I felt like
I met him then if I didn't meet.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Him before that, I know that you got Taco Bell hat. Yeah,
and uh so you're you're flying the colors there, Yes, sir,
you're so. You walk into Taco Bell and you ordered what.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Two crunch Trap Supremes, one, Dorito's Locals, Taco Supreme, no
tomatoes on either or two of the other and depending
on kind of where I'm at with that, Carmel, Apple
and Panada if they want to bring that back again
for me. I did bring that back for a while
Mexican pizza as well. So you guys are completely welcome.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Marvin. You're he's speaking your language here. Contract Supreme for
me with the Mountain Dew, Baja Blast.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
There you go. You got to go to the CANTEENA
in Vegas. They throw something in that for you if
you if you're interested, and just drop your name right, yeah,
just just tell them, tell them you there, tell them,
tell them tasting you tay.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They'd be like, oh you know tea, Yeah, I'll go
the cheesy Gordida crunch though, okay, and then these Cinnabon
delights as well.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Oh wow, you you depending your bag there?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah we might.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm feeling like we did some research.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
We're professionals here, attention to detail, just like Aaron Rodgers.
There you go, yeah, you go, what's great to meet?
And uh, good luck. Know that you're a six handicap,
so you're getting into that area where you might not
improve as much as you did when you're correct around nine, ten, eleven,
twelve handicap. Then you see improvement. Now you're gonna be like, damn,
(35:14):
I'm still six.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
The worst thing you can ever do in golf is
get better. I'm telling you, it's so frustrating. I'll still
where I could just run around just having a sip
a crown and.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Just enjoying again.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
At eighteen now I care too much about it. Oh,
so you won't sip any Crown royal out there.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I'll sit, but I would they were a little stronger
SIPs back then.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I will say thanks again for joining us, and good
luck this upcoming season.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Thank you appreciate.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
That's Davante Adams will take a break, last call for
phone calls, what we learn, what's in store.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Right after this, 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.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
WAP FUN first day. I hope you enjoyed it here
in Tahoe. We'll be here the next two days. John
Smoltz early in the show talked about shoe Hey o
Tani and why he wouldn't use him as a closer,
but maybe the Dodgers will use him in the postseason.
Picked some spots that you could bring him in as
a closer, but he might be who knows how many
(36:18):
innings he might be pitching then, but you could maybe
on a day where he's had a few days rest,
bring him in situational reliever. There we had big cat
pft from barstool, pardon my take, they're writing a book
after their ten years together. Let's see. Joe Buck told
his story and I don't know if you've heard it before,
(36:41):
but I just went It hit me because when he
was talking about his father, legendary father, Jack Buck, and
he was dying and Joe would go to the hospital
and read to his father, and his father couldn't communicate,
he had a tube down his throat, and you know,
he talked about that game that he called and he
(37:01):
was driving by the hospital and saw the light on,
and you know, they they made sure that his father
got to hear Joe call a Saint Louis Cardinal game
and it was just it was done in a in
a Joe Buck way. He told the story and then
it became dark humor after that, and he said, you
know that my dad would love that that it was
(37:23):
dark humor that he was kind of pointing out the
obvious loss of his father. But there was a joke
in there as well, and Davante Adams a lot of fun.
I had a lot of personality there. So tomorrow on
the show, we're still working on that. I think Barkley
for Friday, but yeah, we have a we have a
(37:44):
great guest list pending, uh, just because of the time
frame of being on from six until nine in the morning.
Guys getting here, and guys get here and they're serious,
they're serious about playing. You know, Smoltz's grinding, Ray Allen Roma,
all of these guys, they're like, it's really really important
to them. Yes, balling.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
What Devanta Adams said stuck out not to me because
I never played golf. Well, but imagine improving at golf
and make you want to play more and work on
it more.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, you get to a point where you don't improve,
you know, like Jordan has been I think a four
for a long time now. I don't know if he's
better than that. I think he said he was a
four and he wasn't a four. And you lose money
that way. But you know, Michael wanted to improve, keep improving.
He plays all the time. But you get to a
certain point where that's probably as good as you're going
(38:37):
to get. And that can be frustrating for these guys
who are always chasing, chasing, chasing, and then you realize,
you know, maybe this is as good as I get.
All right, let me see anything that this day in
sports history. Paul do you have some items for us. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Nineteen sixty eight, the first All Star MLB game played
indoors at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. Nineteen eighty five,
herschel Walker, New Jersey General's named MVP of the league
as a rookie. And oh, this was a this is
a set. Nineteen ninety seven Mike Tyson banned from the
boxing ring and find three million dollars four fighting the
ear off of Evander Holyfield.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
A portion of his ear. Yeah, well and it wasn't
a full ear. Apologies, Yeah, a full ear. Let's see.
The Red Sox in nineteen fourteen purchased Babe Bruce minor
league contract he was nineteen years of age for twenty
five thousand dollars. Seems like they do that about every
three weeks in this day sports. Is something about Babe Ruth,
(39:36):
Something about a Babe Ruth contract. H On this date,
nineteen sixty eight, Will Chamberlain became the first MVP, the
reigning MVP to be traded the next season when he
left Philadelphia to go to the Lakers. Let's go around
the room. What we learned on the program, Paul, would
you learn today? The weather changes fast? Yes, it does.
(39:58):
It was chilly Shelle at around four point thirty this morning,
but now it is gorgeous. Seaton, what did you learn today?
DeVante Adams kitchen air quotes is a short game. Yes,
he was getting some tips from Tony Romo. It's it's
cool to see the different sports. You know, sometimes you're
talking to a basketball player, baseball player, whoever, because you
(40:20):
get paired with guys that you are not used to
or hanging around? Is it a seven? He isn't a driver?
Had what would you use? Maybe that's why Tony Romo
is not joining us on the show. It's very I mean,
we spent that's him as a broadcaster. We did the
whole no Eu Romo for years about it's frustrating and disappointing.
(40:42):
We've we spent the better part of the eighteen years.
I know this dude. That's why when we asked for
Tony Romo and they said he's politely to time, I go, okay,
I'll take the polite I know. Marvin, what did you
learn today?
Speaker 4 (40:54):
You played golf of Ray Romana?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I did. For over forty years, ty Rag has been
helped and customers find the right tires for how and
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options, and mobile
tire installation as well tyraq dot com. The way tire
buying should be uh waite, that's your Ray Romano in person.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
On the spot.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Sometimes they just come out okay, all right, I think
you're Tony Romo is a lot better. Yeah okay, well
maybe he's got to work on it. Thanks for joining us,
our pleasure to serve you for the entire gang making
this possible. The great folks at NBC, Pauli Seaton, Marvin
Ray Romano, Tony Romo, talk to you tomorrow.
