Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Tuesday, we'll check in with Michale Bridges the
Knicks Forward. Your phone calls are welcome eight seven to
seven to three. DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show. The US Open on NBC
and Peacock. That'll be at Shinnecock Hills. That will be
on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday NBC Peacock NBC Sports Network.
(00:28):
I've never played Shinnecock, but I've covered the US Open
when Raymond Floyd won I think that was nineteen eighty
five or eighty six, and that is a workout. That
course is a workout, and I would even play I
was just walking. It will be very, very, very challenging.
This is one of those if you're under par, you're
(00:49):
probably winning because the wind will play a big role.
And that is a tough, tough course. Doesn't look like fun.
Actually it looks fun. I don't think that playing it
is fun. I think it's just survival of the fittest.
It's one of those like Pinehurst number two. It was
(01:09):
an experience. I didn't need to do it again, even
though it's a legendary course. There's certain courses where you
go too tough, Bethpage Black, too tough, like you want
to play it just because you check it off the
list of great courses around around the world. I haven't
been to Bandon Dunes yet, but there's a lot of
beautiful courses out there.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, Dylan, Yeah, Shanacock might rank at the top of
most difficult to get to, although as the proflies, it's
very close.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yes, if you got a helicopter. I remember playing a
course in Ireland, Old Head and there were people Dan
Marino was there, Wayne heizinga there and they landed helicopters
in there to play. We had to drive two and
a half hours.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You can get a left on the chopper.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, no, no, but I saw the choppers there, all right,
eight seven seven three DP show and we'll get to
your phone calls. We have another poll question. He is
now an NBA champ, McHale Bridges New York Knicks forward.
Is that sunk in yet?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Not yet? I think when that parade happens, I think
it's probably gonna be the most right.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
There, Well, what left you more exhausted playing in the
finals or celebrating after playing in the finals.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
So the mix of both, that's other, that's a mix
of both.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
More I think more files a little more mentally than anything,
But physically, I don't know what to tack.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I don't know if I give you an answer on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Let me go back to game four, when you're down
twenty nine. What's Mike Brown say to you guys?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Just one possession at a time, that's pretty much shit,
and just keep you know, keep chopping at it. You
know you can't get it back on one possession, so just
take it one position at a time, And.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
That's what we did.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was talking to Tim Legler about this last hour.
I said, you know, the Spurs are a young team,
but they seemed really tired at the end of all
of those games. Why why is that? Younger guys should
be in great shape, But it felt like you guys
had a different gear.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I mean, I guess you saw it. I didn't see.
I didn't see that. I didn't I could tell if
they was tired or not. They're a really good team,
young and maybe coming off that game the seven, you know,
game seven, I guess, uh, okay, see, But firstly, I
don't think they were tired, but you know they're a
really good young team and they just go keep fighting.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Today.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
If somebody had never seen Jalen Brunson play, how would
you describe his style?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Scale, scale, and footwork. That's pretty much and like elite
shot making. So that's how that's my three right there.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And he's not afraid either. No, no, but when did
you notice that? You go back to college and all
of a sudden you knew, okay, there's something different.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yeah, when he came in as a freshman, like McDonald's
all American and everything, and he started like he started
as a freshman on our on the championship team. So
you know that, well, coach right with Jay Wright as
a coach, and that's not easy to do. And it
just him go out there fighting every single day in
the summer, the summer sessions and then you know, coming
(04:27):
to the you know, the our first like preseason, he
was just you could just see the skill and the
toughness he.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Had right away.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
And that's how that's how he started on a championship
team as a freshman.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
H Jay Wright joined us yesterday and coach said that
you guys made fun of Jalen when he was the
preseason n I t m v P and as a freshman,
and you guys were making fun of him that he
was trying too hard to be the m v P,
when according to coach, you guys felt like anybody could
have been the MVP of that preseason and I tea.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh, I was a really trip when I was young
at that time too.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I was just trying to make sure I mess up
on that court. I was really worried about that.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And he talks about you came in as a skinny
kid and you'd go, you go one on one with
Josh Hart all the time, and that like that first
year or that red shirt seemed to really change life
for you. What did you learn when you have to
sit and watch everybody play?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, it was tough.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I think it was one of the toughest, you know,
years of my life going on playing basketball every single year,
and then you know, you finally get to college and
now you're told you have to sit out a whole
year when you're completely healthy.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
So that was it was.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
It was tough because you want, you know, you want
to play and be out there, and an excitement from
going Division one and you've got your family and friends.
But you know, it was really pretty like halfway through
is where I start to click from me or I
felt myself getting stronger, from myself getting better, where I
was just like, Okay, this is the best thing for me.
(06:05):
But at the beginning it was tough. I was, you know,
I was upset and everything just because I couldn't play.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I got to set out whole year.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
But obviously grand scheme of things was the best thing
ever happened, and I learned patience has just learned just
with your time, and I just learned just workout habits
like how to how to be a person, to stay
in the gym, how to want to be in a gym,
and all those things.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So I was just very grateful for that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We're talking to Michael Bridges. The next forward NBA champ
is Spike Lee gonna get a championship ring.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
You should for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay, how many of these rings are you? Do you
think that James Dolan's going to be handing out a lot.
Patrick Ewan get one, of course, Tracy Morgan, Yeah, everybody.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
You get any funny, I'm gonna say yes to everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Timothy Chaloma, he gets everybody still, Okay, does does Kylie
Jenner get one?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, okay, all right, you're really generous with your your
owner's money. Take me back when James Dolan addressed the
team prior to the playoffs, like he gave you guys
his speech.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, it was great because you get kind of you know,
he talked to us before, but I know it seemed
like him coming over here was getting outside his comfort
zone a little bit. So I think he's pretty sure,
you know, let the that's why he has Leon Leoni,
you know, get our coaches and let them kind of
(07:37):
talk to the team like that's he kind of let
like the players and the coaches the gym, you know,
over there. And obviously he'll say his words when he
sees us. But I think he got out his comfort
zone for the Packs pretty much that whole year, because
even in the preseason he had a speech, he talked
to us when he was at dinner as a whole team.
It was really cool to see, you know, and I
(07:59):
appreciate you have so much for that. And I gave
him confidence both times, just like you know, I love
the speech, and you can tell I'm a guy I
don't love public speaking that much, and I think he's fine,
but I could tell that it was a little bit
outside his comfort zone.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And I just appreciate Fred because he didn't have to.
You know what I'm saying. He didn't have to, but.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
He did that because he truly believed and he truly
wanted to win for the city.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And you know that's that's that's really dope with him.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
What did you say from game five?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
What did I say?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Uniform? What did did? What are you keeping from when he?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh, oh yeah everything. I put everything in a mesh bag.
Got my sneakers, got the got the.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Goggles, hat jerseys, damn there, tights and socks too.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Uh So, when did you get a nickname? The warden?
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
When I was a Phoenix, fans used to call me that.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
That was funny.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I always like the war was just hilarious. I think
I got nicknames that I don't mean. I don't call
myself no nickname or anything. But that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Just like, wait, but why are you the warden?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Because they say a lot of people up on defense.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
So it was pretty cool. It was it was. It
was It's not you know, it's a big compliment.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's a good thing you didn't play when Michael Jordan
played if you had that nickname, because Mike, Mike would
want to tort you.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah, all the fans would bought this pressure on me
to go guard his ass.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And then you were Brooklyn Bridges with the nets.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I like that one too, just it was just easy
means since Yeah, yeah, I appreciate all my times, but
everybody everywhere I was at, all the fans and everything too.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And then you became known as the five draft picks
guy with the nick. I guess that's not a great
nick that's you don't need a nickname with that. But
are you are? You did your dad? Somebody said you
were putting out a T shirt me.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I'll think, uh, a lot of fans, even my teammates
and stuff. But out of the five picks thing, I
don't really. Obviously, I'm very grateful and blessed that, you know,
you know, Dolan and LEI did that to get me,
for sure. A lot of people, you know, you're saying
f and picks and stuff, you don't. That's not my
(10:32):
motive when I got there.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So okay, you got to sober up for Thursday. Right,
you're gonna be. You got a little bit of time
in between celebrating. You got to be ready for that
that parade.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, I'll be ready. I was so ready. I'm gonna be.
You're ready for that f eight. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Well, congratulations. It was a wonderful run. Great to see
and have fun on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Of course, man, thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's Michael Brice. He's the warden walking people up. I
remember Gary Payton was known as the Glove and Gary
Payton you know this is now after the fact, but
you know he would talk about Jordan and he gave
Jordan trouble and they asked Michael this, and Michael started laughing.
So he sees the clip. Michael has a tablet and
(11:22):
he he sees, you know, Gary Payton talking about you know,
lock locking Mike up and and this was on the
last dance, and Mike goes, I didn't have any trouble
with the glove, and he started laughing. Really yes, Marvin, I.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Think it was the SPS years ago and Jamie Fox
told Gary Payton there must have been a hole in
that glove.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Billis h Gary Payton was a wonderful on ball defender.
But Mike is like, I, I didn't have any trouble
with the glove. He cackled, Oh no, he got a
really like a legitimate laugh. And like if if Michael
Jordan was playing and he was playing against Mikale Bridges
(12:07):
and everybody was like, Hey, you're gonna be going against
the warden, and Mike would probably go, who's the warden?
McHale Bridges? Why did they call him the warden? Because
he locks people up? And then Mike would probably go,
We'll see about that. Yeah, marvh That's.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Why I always felt back for Ruben Patterson. He was
known as the Kobe stop.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Kobe's like, really, you've also had Gerald Wilkins, Dominique's brother.
He was known as the Jordan stopper that didn't go well,
Like Mike would make up slights like he didn't have
to make this up. And he hated Dan Marley only
(12:48):
because Jerry Krause the Bulls GM loved Dan Marley and
they ended up going against each other in the NBA
Finals when Dan was in Phoenix and and Marley's one
of the nicest guys. Get it wasn't his fault that
Jerry Krouse would talk about Dan Marley to the bulls
(13:09):
and they were like, they didn't want to hear it
Dan Marley. But Jerry Crouse, by the way, did a
wonderful job as an architect. He was very underrated, very
And then Mike was paired opposite Dan Marley in the
NBA Finals and Mike was taking it to Dan Marley
once again. You can't give Mike any ammo, and here
(13:30):
these guys would give him ammo. It's like, don't say
a word, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
There's a clip in the Last Dance where a young
Washington Bullets guard named le Bradford Smith supposedly said nice
game to Mike Michael Jordan after La Bradford scored thirty
seven and George had twenty seven. He didn't mean anything
by it, he just said nice game, like you know, hey, Jordan,
I guess chewed on that for a month, went back
a month later and dropped forty seven on the Wizards,
(13:56):
And Jordan even said in the documentary, I think I
created that in my head.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, yeah, poor La Bradford Smith, and he'd probably say, hey, Mike,
nice game, and Mike probably said, oh, I just had
a nice game. Oh okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna show
you a great game. Yeah deal.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
If that was anyone other than Michael Jordan would be
like a confirmed case of mental illness, I.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Think, just.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But it worked out, you know, it worked out Mike, Mike,
you know, to be around that, to see that, and
even to talk to his teammates. Now, I was friends
with Judd Bushler and Steve Kerr, and they were like,
you never want the look. You never want Mike to
give you the look, because that means if you missed
(14:43):
a shot, you're not getting the ball. Mike would give
you the look. And these guys talked about how, you know,
as if it was a horror movie, you know, like
Freddy Krueger, like, you do not want Mike to give
you the look.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Yes, talked about him like he was their dad, daddy.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
Who's your all right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Let me take a break. I got a lot of
phone calls to get to and we'll decide on a
poll question for the final hour of the program. I
was seeing some of the clips on the cal Bridges,
I think on Instagram, and there were people saying, please
take his phone away from him because he was in
his cups. As the kids like to say, he looked
(15:27):
like he had had a he had been on one.
And wait till Thursday, Wait till Thursday. All right, take
a break back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the

(15:51):
crow Armstrong homer to lead off the game last night,
tripled in the third inning, doubled in the fifth, singled
in the seventh, And he's the first player this year
to hit for the cycle. And then he got picked
off first base. And that's happened before, but it was
back in the nineteen forties. That might have been Joe
(16:13):
Cronin for some reason comes to mind. Yeah, Paul, he's.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Leading off lightly. The crowd is cheering. They realized the
moment the PA announcer, you're.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Out hey, yeah, yeah. How about that one? How about
Dustin May? They had perfect game into the seventh, finished
with a complete game, one hit, shutout, struck out nine,
walked one. How about one hundred and one pitches. First
complete game in seventy one starts.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. On
a personal note, Eddie Handelman died at the age of
eighty nine yesterday. He's probably the godfather of sports talk radio.
He was a legend, certainly in Boston, WEEI and he
did it at a very high rate for over forty years.
(17:15):
I think he was syndicated as well around the country
in some markets. But he had a big influence on me.
Got a chance to meet him. I was trying to
figure out how to do sports talk radio in my
own voice as opposed to doing it in the voice
that I thought I was supposed to have at ESPN.
But he was gregarious. I mean, he was Boston, eighty
(17:40):
nine years of age and well respected. But I think
if you boy, it'd be tough to find somebody who
might have been doing it before him, or certainly in
that size of market. But probably the godfather of sports
talk radio passing away at the age of eighty nine,
I'll sign up for that. Sign it for eighty nine, yes, Mark.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Now I know he's the godfather of sports talk radio.
What's Mike and the Mad Dog? As far as how
it relates to what this has become.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, that's where he had partners on WFAN, and usually
partners who don't have a lot in common tend to
work like myself and Keith Oberman. Now we were only
together for five and a half years. Mike and the
Mad Dog together in New York City and Wfan for
twenty years, and I don't think they had a lot
(18:37):
in common. I don't think that they socialized. But there
was something about magic when two guys got on the air,
and it's kind of like Pardon the Interruption with Mike
and Tony, Like when people talk about, you know, great
teams or great shows like Pardon the Interruption was ahead
of everybody with this. You know, the sports reporters did
(18:58):
have debates going on, and you had really smart sports
writers on there, but Mike and Tony made it a show,
and even the format of that, you know, it was
just different esthetically when you watched it, and they're still
doing it. But you know, when you're looking at great
shows in ESPN history, I mean, Pardon in the Interruption.
(19:21):
Sports Center you got to put it to the side,
but you know, individual shows, Pardon the Interruption that changed
a lot of TV and radio format but Mike and
the Mad Dog. Can't understate how great they were, the
impact that they had. And they went at each other too.
(19:41):
They had a falling out where you know, they disbanded.
They kind of came back together and you know, are
friends now, but had a big impact as well. I
remember listening when Wfan first came on the air, and
I was in my apartment in Brooklyn, and I remember
hearing Jim Lampley and I thought, God, I'd love to
(20:03):
do a sports update on WFAN. Like I was at
CNN at the time, I didn't even think that I
was capable of being a radio host on that level.
And I thought, and I remember talking to somebody and
be like, hey, if they got any openings, and they go, yeah,
but what days could you host? And I go, oh,
(20:25):
I was just talking about doing the sports update and
they're like, oh, no, no, no, you would want to host.
But you know, I lacked a lot of confidence. But
I remember listening and I go, oh, my god, I
can do that. That would be fun. And I've always
I grew up in a radio family and I've always
loved radio. And yeah, you got a face for radio. Yeah,
(20:48):
I know, I've heard it but I just think the
magic of that, and to hear Wfan, I'm thinking, are
they going to do this twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week. It's kind of like Sports Center.
It was like, I can do that. I want to
do that. And meanwhile, I'm sitting in my house off
campus at the University of Dayton. We don't have enough
(21:10):
money for heat. We spent the money on cable, and
I'm thinking, I can do that. You know, I got
my roommates going, yeah, all right, I go no, no,
I can do that, And I don't know, five and
a half years later, I'm doing it. But yeah, roundabout
way Eddie Adelman and for those who heard him, you
(21:32):
knew him. He had that voice and you knew that
that was Eddie. Let's see, I gotta get some phone
calls here, all right, Gerald in Connecticut is back. Hi, Gerald, Hey, Dan,
second time?
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Long time.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You know.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
There's a reason why the buddy you golfed with hit
his fandom because for the longest time before Brunson, the
theme of the Knicks was lineups like this, Kadeen Allen,
Daniene Dotson, Kevin Knox, Luke Cornick and noavonlah and that
was kind of a consistent thing for the Knicks.
Speaker 12 (22:03):
So like when people compare all these which where do they.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Rank in final teams? Real Nick fans don't even care.
I mean, they're just happy to have a championship. I
mean there were so many painstaking years. So thanks again
for taking my call.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, the enjoy the parade, enjoy the moment. It happens
all the time in all sports where you get people
their team won a title and they want to collect receipts,
and like, you got the greatest receipt of all time scoreboard,
soak it in. Don't get caught up in oh this
(22:38):
person said this, or you didn't believe in a sit
you won the championship. Red and Georgia's back, I read, hey.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Thanks for taking the call. Dan. He did listen about
the NIE and they were.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
Saying that that have been through over these years. I
think James Dolar Redemptions is here, and I think it'll
be a great interview for you and the guys man
because and it was a time when Jake Golden was
considered the worst owner.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
In the NBA. He got booed everywhere all the time,
and I would love to know what the niche tak
about him now, especially in New York. And we're fin
the seat is as the years go, because the Knicks
would have been on TV a whole lot thas to
taking the calle All.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Right, Red, You're right, no, they love him now. But
you know, I always find owners who can step to
the side and let people do their jobs, you have
a far better chance of succeeding the Knicks. They had
the same blueprint and they kept repeating the same mistake.
Step aside, let others who are paid to do this
(23:46):
do their job, and you had success because of that.
It's like Cleveland Brown's you got an owner who medals
step to the side and let these people that you
brought in not have to look over their shoulders constantly.
But James Dolan, who would have thought he wasn't just
(24:07):
considered the worst in the NBA, he was considered one
of the worst owners of all time in any of
these sports. Yeah, Paul, I could.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Look back at my notes. We've had segments on his
show before four or five, six years ago if one
fan base could remove an owner to help their team win,
and he would win it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And just so you know, Fritzy reaches out to everybody.
So somebody says, oh, would you have Brendan Soresby on, Yeah,
we've been reaching out. Would you have James Dolan on? Yes,
I would. He doesn't do interviews. I think Craig Carton
got him recently, and good for Craig. But you know,
James Dolan, things are going well. You know, now you
(24:46):
do want to be interviewed. I think now, I don't
know if he's ready for sixty minutes, but I do
think that you want, you want to have something positive
to talk about. And he even apologized, he said, I'm
sorry that it took this long. Yeah, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
And he also, I mean Madison Square Garden Corporation owns
the Rangers too, so it's not like it's been like
he's had another team that's had success recently to slough
some of that off on it.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Yes, Marmon, it's amazing what happens when you hire the
right people. Yes, Leon Rose is going to be looked
at like the way we look at theo Epstein. Yeah,
the guy that put the team together that ended the drought.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's a great point. Yeah, and he done new interviews.
He's a former agent. Yeah, Paully, and we've talked about that.
You said it on a hundred times. If you're an owner,
why not share some credit. He'd rather get half credit
for a title than one hundred percent credit for a failure. No,
one hundred percent blame for no title. It's like share
(25:42):
the wealth.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Share.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Let's see Calvin in New York. Khi, Calvin, what do
you have for me?
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Hey? Pat?
Speaker 9 (25:50):
So real quick?
Speaker 14 (25:51):
Are two things. One is the owner. If he's such
a great guy, then he needs to make amends with
the Oakley and so, because Oakley is a important part
of that history. Second, the cape Verdi should not be
a new thing to you. Two well known names that
you said for years and didn't know it, Wayne Fonse
and Tony Gonzales.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
They're both from cape Verdi, the Yeah family. Yeah, oh well,
never knew. You should have known that. I should have wait,
cape Verde, Calvin, man, it's Dan, not Pat. So if
you're gonna critique me for not knowing about Wayne Fonts
and Tony Gonzalds, and at least get my name right, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
While we're going international, I actually do have some Algerian
coaching news. Okay from twenty twenty four. Oh, they did
part ways with their coach after a loss in the
Africa Cup of Nations final. I see where the confusion was.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, I don't know why. I like, I saw this
headline Algeria replaces their coach and I go, wait, they
just played one man Gary in Hawaii. Hi Gary, Good morning.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
Dan, Dan.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
It's uh backroom guys.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (27:09):
I just wanted to call and say I heard I
was brushing my teeth and I heard you say he
Will Hawaii, and I was like what Because I.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Was born in he Will.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
I live in Hawaii Now.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I watch the show every day. I wake up at
three AMNN watch it and that's awesome. Well, thank you Gary.
Maybe maybe we'll get out there one of these days.
Fritzy has been out there a couple of times. Yes, Dylan, a.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Remote to Hawaii, Hawaii sounds pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Got a Rainbow Warriors game. I'd kind of like to
go to the NFL game in France, Okay, beef Berg, Yeah,
I don't know. Some people Australia is too far, and
we did look into maybe trying to do the show
in Australia, so maybe France. I'm a big fan of
(27:58):
Paris and Niece and you know a lot of great
great areas there.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yes, NFL in France late October October twenty fifth, Saints
Steelers in the Stude de France.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, who's with me? Yeah? Everybody?
Speaker 13 (28:16):
Yay?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah? Matt in La Good morning, Matt. What do you
have for me today?
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Good morning?
Speaker 12 (28:22):
And you are still sharp as ever catching the path.
I was wondering if you're going to say anything about that,
but my comment was, Michael Bridges seems like the nicest
person and I'm really that makes me even happier that
he had such a great Game seven. Question for you
is did you think I kind of felt he was
struggling a little bit in the series before that?
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Did you see that?
Speaker 10 (28:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
To be honest, I don't. I don't remember that, Like
it didn't stand out that I was focused on him.
But thank you for the phone call. And you know
he's kind of a shy guy, kind of a quiet guy.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
But you know.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's that's a high end role player. Those are the
guys you want when you get a guy who wants
to play defense. I'm okay, sign me up for those
kind of guys.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Yes, Mark, do you think more GMS are going to
say to their star players, hey, look what Jalen Brunson
did because the Knicks wouldn't be able to afford Bridges
and Anobi and Josh Hart and Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I don't know if you can bring that up. I mean,
that's that's Brunson realizing. You know, I win, I won
in college. I want to win in the pros. I
almost won in Dallas. Now it's my team. Now I
want to get my guys. If I'm going to say
go get my guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna sacrifice. So
(29:48):
you know I'm a team player. Now I'm asking you
to be a team player for me. And Josh Hart
had played for what three or four other teams? He
bounced around h Nobody really knew Michale Bridges. He was
in Brooklyn. I mean nobody was like, oh yeah, that
guy was on Villanova. Like they had guys who were
(30:09):
good but not famous. You know Dante DiVincenzo, you know,
he wanted guys that he knew, knew how to win.
And there's something to be said for that, where you
got guys who are used to being in these situations
and when you think about experience. It's the Knicks aren't
(30:30):
that much older than the Spurs, but they're far more
experienced than them. When Brunson could have left after his
sophomore year, he wanted to stay. He got another title.
Devincenzo heart bridges that that tells me an awful lot
about Jalen Brunson. Yes, you do give up money, but
(30:52):
I can't remember when I asked Peyton Manning like when
he signed his new deal, and I said, did you
think about taking less so you could make sure the
Colts could resign Edgrian James. We finished the interview, Peyton
didn't talk to me for four years.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Oops.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
Yeah, Pauline, I can't see this Jalen Brunson taking less
thing catching on. I don't think it's gonna become a
trend because my guess is his agent probably try to
talk him out of it. At the time, he bought
a lot of goodwill, but he really did pass on
a truckload at dough and agents.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
They won't let you do that. Tony Gwynn told me
that he was going to play his entire career in
San Diego, and the Players Association was upset because he
wouldn't take offers from other teams to raise the salaries
of other players, and Tony said, I had no interest
in playing any place else but here.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yes, Dylan, Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised, like it's not
more popular because if you do what Brunson did, essentially
bet on himself and open the door to get more
people like all right, you're gonna have to rough it
on thirty million dollars a year for a few years,
but you win a title, that's off the list and
then now the next contract you just get, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Supermax Mike and Wisconsin.
Speaker 12 (32:10):
Hi, Mike, stay pat thanks to taking my car.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 15 (32:16):
So when Nick clebbn left, it was a it was
kind of like, all right, good good for you, buddy,
good luck, hope you do well and next man up.
But Dan, right now, we're in the midst of the
World Cup where the host country and we have no
seat in then we're feeling a little bit. So what
do you guys think about having seating on for a
weekly World Cup update or if he's too busy, maybe Jimmy,
(32:38):
Jimmy Jimmerson makes it makes an appearance.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, we've talked about when's a good time to have
Seaton on. He is doing stuff for the show, commenting
on the comments, does that on a daily basis. But yeah,
we're trying to you know, maybe in the build up
with Team USA and then we'll have the seat and
join us at at some point. We might even bring
back soccer breakdown in three two one. I said, you
(33:05):
know what, Marvin Friday, team USA against Australia for morale purposes,
that we should do soccer breakdown, So get that ready
for Friday. Yes, Dylan, did that guy.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Not hear me say? Algeria parted ways with their coach
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I think he was taking a shot at you that
you're just not seating.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
It felt like that, and we'll off to bone up
on my soccer knowledge.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
By the way, Fritzy did a reach out to James Dolan. Sorry,
Jim is not available. Thank you really? Yeah, now he's
not not I know, No James Dolan and no go.
Fritzy reached out. Not available, like not available at any
point in the day or night, three in the morning,
(33:55):
not available. Let's take a break. Last call for phone calls.
What we learn, what's in store tomorrow and We're back
after this.

We learned it's cape Verd, not cape Verde. Although listen
at the end of the match when Cape Verde is
playing Spain and listen to the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
This is a win.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I mean, look at the celebrating games over it's over.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
It is a win in every possible way for cape
Verde and their first ever.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
World Cup game, a zero zero draw with.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
The European champion Spain.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Okay, now, is this the America americanizing of cape Verd, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
In Europe and in Africa they call it cape.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Verd in cape Verd, but over here here it's a
ver Day, well, like like Salsa vere Day. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
But if like Florence, Italy is pronounced Florence, in America.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It's pronounced Forenza something close to that, and Venice is
Venizzi and Basil is Basilico. Yes, yes, do it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
As the soccer and linguistics expert of the show. I
think the mix up is that we are more used
to Spanish here, and Spanish would be Cabo Verde and
Portuguese it's vered. So I think that's the That's why,
that's the real way.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Cape Verde five hundred thousand populations, Spain is forty eight million.
Cape Verde their roster salaries fifty five million. Spain's is
one point two million. Tim in Arizona, Good morning, Tim,
What do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (35:56):
Good morning, Dan in the morning, five to ten at night.
My question is for Paully, mainly the it I Supplemental Draft.
If soorsby enters and he's not selected, is he now
(36:16):
an undrafted free agent and a lot more appealing with
his five mil nil?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I don't know if I forgot to ask Florio that
if he goes undrafted unselected, is he an unrestricted free agent?
Speaker 7 (36:32):
We set a note asking that haven't heard back.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Okay, uh Frank and ohio, Hi Frank? What do you
have for me today?
Speaker 9 (36:39):
All right?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (36:41):
Five ft ten and three quarter inches. Weigne in at
one sixty five with a record of fifteen wins fourteen
via the KO. Now, I think all of football needs
to share a burden with soresby. I mean you they
take money from betting sites. You have everybody. I'm telling
you what prop to play. And if you give a
(37:03):
twenty year old kid millions of dollars, he's bond to
make some mistakes with it. I don't think he should
be crucified.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, he shouldn't be able to play if he bet
on his team. I'm like, this is one mistake. He's
gonna get a chance to play a kid. But he
did bet on his team. But he wasn't betting a
lot of money, considering he's a guy who has five
million dollars and maybe got a million dollars or whatever
(37:30):
nil from Cincinnati. He was just betting over and over
and over over and over over on a variety of things.
And yes, you're right about the leagues being hypocrites. All
those commissioners said, oh no, you know there won't be gambling, right,
can't happen. Then what happened. They all realized how much
money they were going to make, the owners all realized
(37:53):
how much money they were going to make. Then all
of a sudden, everybody's okay with gambling. Just like that,
everything's good, no worries you know, no threat of somebody
throwing a game, no threat of somebody betting on a game. No,
nothing to worry about here. This is just the start
of this. Okay, it's just the start of this, and
(38:17):
it's usually the weakest person. It's not like Patrick Mahomes
is going to be gambling. But it could be somebody
who is not a marquee player, not a star quarterback.
Look at John tay Porter, nobody even knew he was
in the league. He thought nobody's going to notice that.
(38:38):
He's Hey, I decided that I'm not going to play
long enough for my prop bet to hit take the under.
He doesn't. He doesn't think anybody's going to notice there.
Vegas has to notice. That's their business. Adam in La Hi, Adam,
what do you have for me today?
Speaker 16 (38:56):
Hey? Then six long one eighty. I just wanted to
thank you so much for having Marv Albert on yesterday.
You know, he felt like such a forgotten figure throughout
these finals, where because he wasn't sitting toward side, we
never saw him, we never heard about him, and just
growing up and Nick Sen, I mean, he is the
boy seize the face and just really appreciate you having
(39:16):
him on it was great And Dylan, do not listen
to these callers falling about seat and don't sweat it.
In the annals of replacements. You are the Sam Mayhanguard
to his David Lee Roth. You're doing a great job.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
People.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Oh, okay, van Hagar in the back room. We still
hope to have seating on at some point here talking soccer,
The Saint Sports History Poll.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
Nineteen ninety one, dan Otis Nixon a very nice player
for the Expos. He's had six steals in one game,
broke the major league record. Oh, and this one, of course.
Nineteen ninety three, Michael Jordan. The Bulls scored fifty five
points in the NBA Finals. Oh, should have been one
hundred against the Phoenix Suns. Jordan became the first player
you score fifty in the finals since Jerry West in
(40:03):
nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Charles Barkley in that game had thirty two, twelve and
ten assists in that loss to Michael Jordan. Also on
this date, nineteen seventy five, Kareem and Walt Wesley traded
to the Lakers for Elmore Smith, Brian Winters, draft picks,
Dave Meyer and Junior Bridgeman, howd that one workout? You know,
I thought the Bucks did okay. They just didn't. You know,
(40:28):
you can't trade away, great, you can't. But I thought
that they got a jeeson thank you. But I thought
they got a decent return, a decent return for a
guy who did not want to stay in Milwaukee, Dylan,
would you learn today.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Tunisia fired their coach and Algeria also did two years ago.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
