(00:50):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
We'll come up with a new poll question. Also, the
most must win game of the weekend. We'll have that
for you coming up. Last night, the Colts lost clinched
playoff spots with the Bills, Jags, and the Chargers. But
this should be about the forty nine Ers because they
looked great on the road, giving five and a half
(01:14):
and rock Perty throws for five touchdowns as they roll
forty eight to twenty seven. They have now scored points
in twenty three consecutive quarters, the team's longest such streak
since nineteen ninety five. Stat of the Day is always
(01:41):
brought to you by Penny America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. You got a double header
basketball Tuesday nights on NBC in Peacock, Nuggets, mAbs, and
you have the Rockets and the Clippers. Reggie Miller will
talk about that NBA on NBC and streaming on Peacock's
Seaton Poll. Question for the final hour of the Final
(02:03):
Day for us this holiday.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Season, Final Day, Final Show, Final What let's see we
got up there right now for the holidays. You prefer
to host or travel right now? Sixty percent prefer to host.
And then we also have who's more to blame for
the USC Notre Dame rivalry going away?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Notre Dame has fifty eight percent. That's great. What are
we going to go with the final hour? I got
one here.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
From Paul who is asking if Philip Rivers is helping
his Hall of Fame chances or hurting his Hall of
Fame chances.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I think he's doing both because he's helping right now,
but by delaying five years, like he's going to be
up against Aaron Rodgers probably, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I think he's lightly helping his Hall of Fame case
because he doesn't have have a big hook besides numbers
and longevity.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
He doesn't have a Super Bowl a lot of moments.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
But I think this puts a pretty good spin on
the end of his career and people will remember that
in five years.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, not huge, it's a good story.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Good story.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You just you know, you wonder what quarterbacks are going
to be retiring and what kind of numbers are they
going to have. Are they going to have an MVP
and or a Super Bowl. I'm assuming Matthew Stafford the
way he's played this year, is going to want to
play at least another year. I don't know about Aaron Rodgers,
So you've got to factor that in as well. That
now you've moved the clock, you know, it's five five
(03:36):
more years. By the way, it's a meat Tuesday. We
just had some biscuits and gravy. We also have steak
and eggs, bacon, hash Browns. Who has it better than
nobody back in college Patty and Louisville.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Hey Patty Dan, longtime, first time. What's on your mind?
How are you the only one that ates the biscuits
and gravy?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Right? You have to owe open the biscuit.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh the dance did not open the biscuit. No, Marvin,
just ate the biscuit. Oh Marvin, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, thank you, Patty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I did didn't know we were going to be educated
in how to eat biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yes, Paul, as a person who believes in personal freedom
when eat. Whilst eating, some people chop up their biscuit.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Okay, just thrown out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay, that's fine, it's fine. Yes, fine.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I picked up the biscuit like there was a rock
on the floor, and I just dipped it into the
gravy and just held it.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
In my hand like I was holding a ball.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I had no interest in opening up.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Uh, Mario, if you could please give me the results
of the most valuable Least valuable dann.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
And is there any uh possible ability that you were
throwing things at curveballs at Mario last minute to affect
his voting.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He was told I tell him, don't produce a show,
just direct a show. And here's Anthony, who is on
the short list for Most Valuable back Room Yes, he's
made the first round to cut. He has made the
first round of cuts. That's Anthony, the youngest member of
our staff.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yes, paul would Anthony be the first ever rookie to
win it?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Wow? This is his first year.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And Mario has his trophy because he was the most
Valuable BRG last year. And it's right there if you're
watching on Peacock and Mario will bring that out. I
believe when you know what Mario, Mario, why don't you
bring that out? Because I want to introduce this year's
(05:48):
most Valuable Backroom Guy, Toddy. I'm gonna let you guess
who you think I'm picking for the most Valuable backroom Guy.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I am going to go with Dylan for that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Dylan, all right, Marvin Dylan, all right, Paulie, I'm pretty
sure you're going with Rob Rob Okay seatan.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh man.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know what I'm just gonna say. Uh, I'm gonna
throw it out there. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Ray, Ray. You can't say it and laugh. You can't
say it, then laugh at your own joke. Okay, gob cutthroat.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
All right, I'm sorry, Ray, that was a very nice
you know, I always got to go for the joke.
I'm sorry. It's a weakness that I have. I have
to go for it. Ray, You're very great, important. You're
my MVP RG. Okay every day.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Anthony who just started with us full time, he's on
the short list. Dylan has done a wonderful job as well.
Rob was sneaky great, does a lot of things. The
newsletter very very underrated, very understated. Uh Ray has done
a great job. Ray with the gambling podcast. There's just
(07:04):
so many candidates weeks. Who was our cameraman, you know?
Uh Eric the big german, all the things that he
did driving cross country. The most valuable back room guy
for this year is Jay Eric. There's like Leicester City
(07:32):
coming to sleep.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yes, this guy, this guy's been down twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Three his whole life. Yes, so oh, let's go Jay
in the building. I don't he's in the back working,
he's smoking outside. He might be smoking a heater butt
on his behalf of if we can, if we could
get in touch with him, you would have thought that
Mario would be producing this where we would have Jay
here to accept his award.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Vegas in there Ja on the board.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Jay was not on the board. And I did say
to the big German. And by the way, Mario was
so sure that it was going to be Dylan. Mario
betta pie to the face that it was gonna be Dylan.
So Mario not only loses the BRG trophy, he will
get a pie to the face coming up at the
(08:22):
end of the show. So if we can locate j
and it was probably outside.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You know, that's really unfortunate is that one of the
brg's had to go get Jay to bring him out
here to be like here, you're the person that won,
you know, in there.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Comes see that's a guy. Y All right, Jay, come
over here and get your trophy. Oh what a great moment.
Look at that there. You know, buddy movie, you're welcome
Jay there. He is so many newports tonight. Yeah, all
(08:59):
the newports cigarettes for everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
J Jay did a wonderful job this year. And uh,
right on cue they have to get him from back.
He's out there working and uh he of course is
the brother of the big German Eric, the big german.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So, uh, here we go.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yes, it was busy tarring the roof. That's why he
was late to accept the award. We had to get
him down with the ladder and everything. Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Okay, so Mario, you're an idiot.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I just opened the least Valuable dannette. There's nothing in here,
and then I opened the most Valuable dannette.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Then there's two things in here.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That is classic.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Okay, all right, what do you what do you like?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
This is why you you're getting a piety. I can
give you a pie of the face right now. I
wish you could be more like Jay.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Probably should have that m VBRG after Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, do we want to do Least Valuable Dan at
the start? Todd? Yeah, you guess.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I thought it was a you're announcing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just right to it, Todd.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I'm gonna go myself with least Valuable Dan net.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Okay, uh seatan, I'm gonna say me okay, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Me.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Paul. I think Todd will win the award.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Paul finished fourth, Least Valuable Marvin third, Seaton finished second.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Dang I lost.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It wasn't that close. Fritzy won by twenty five hundred vote.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Hate. Maybe it's a good thing. I don't know what
to maan.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now we get here, we go the envelope for the
most valuable. Dan Paulie was last, Marvin third, the winner
(11:20):
by a mere one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Franc He started.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The double.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah wow, you did the daily double again and the Lowman,
which once.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Again canceled each other. Oute. So I'm just kind of
a nomeric.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You're a you're you're of It's all about content. You're
really good and really bad.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Give it and take it away. That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yes, but Mary, I take that as a compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Maybe what the best in the most and least. I
don't know what. I'm trying to figure out how to
process that.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That you do really really good things and then you'd
do some bad things.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
There are extremes of repeatle contribution.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You're kind of like a home run hitter who strikes out.
You're Adam Dunn or Dave Kingman more hate him thing
with that. Yeah, you either hit a.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Home run or you strike out. You're are Pete Alonzo.
How's that lays to be compared to pet It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
If you take out Ethan, who won back to back mvds.
Somehow Todd has won five of the last six MM.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Congratulations Todd.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
It's a pretty amazing run.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
It's like a dynasty. I'm gonna like a all of a.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sudden, yeah, but you're making an impact.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
It matters.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
People also won four of the last five lvds. It's
basically just a Todd Fritz competition because he wins both
of them every single year.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was, you know, the least Valuable danet. So you
could see the voting and it went up like giving
the middle finger, like Todd's votes were so much that
it was like the other dan outs are here, and
then it went straight up like you were giving the
middle finger to all those who.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Voted for you.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Todd.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Fantastic.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yee Todd off to a bad start for next year
least valuable?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Dan ed Did you do this last year?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Did you?
Speaker 8 (14:46):
I mean, that's why we have one foot out the
door and you're counting the Minister of a on woll
be professional.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You got forty minutes.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I was weak. I should have had that on your
desk a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And yeah, you got some notes here.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You got to tell me that you know, the Rockets
visit the Clippers tonight at ten thirty eastern and Reggie
Miller will be on the call Terry Gannon.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And you didn't give me that information. I can't do
that to Red.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I was looking at the bacon and the steak and eggs.
We got biscuits.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I know we do have steak and eggs coming up.
We do have gravy and biscuits. Hi, reg how are you?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I'm great, Theodore Todd. I'm just supporting in you man.
Come on, man. Years ago, you were always, you know,
a step ahead of everyone, and I mean, oh, how
the mighty have fallen?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Come on now, I'm mailing it in. It's not good
for the last hour of the year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Here were you ever late for a game?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
For a game? Never? Never for a game? I think
I was late maybe out of my whole eighteen year
career to a practice once and it was because of
a snowstorm, a rare snowstorm in Indiana. I wasn't a
great driver in snow and I was probably late, fifteen
minutes late to a practice.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Okay, so you weren't like iverson never never.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
I was always I'm military show Hello, But how tough
was your dad on?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
All of you guys, you and your brother and your
sister like being a military like even when you show
up for this show, Like you're showing up early every time,
early every time?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But what was growing up in the household.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
Because if you're five minutes early, you're really five minutes late.
I just like to be prepared. I like things to work,
as everyone knows. I just things flow better with me
when things are organized. So I like, I like to
come to you guys and make sure the picture looks good,
we sound good. Growing up in the middle of the household,
(16:48):
it was, you know, throw the corter off the bed
and make sure it bounced once or twice. He We
led this kind of life just because I think it
helped in Because we were always first or second to practice,
you got extra time. We always stayed late. It just
(17:09):
now my kids now don't like it. Like Dad, you
weren't in the military. We can see Papa, but you
were in the military. I was like, well, I'm a product.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Sorry, yeah, but you're not making the bed now at home?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Hello, Yes, I am really yes.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Can you make the bed better than your wife? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
She's not making the bed. No, she does a great
job of helping me make the bed. Court we instill
in our kids that doing chores are something that kids
are supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Lakers play the Suns tonight. How long will it take
for Dylan Brooks to get into it with Lebron.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I think it started right up about now. Look, we
love we love the antics. These two have had a history.
What I just found out, which was a little surprising.
I do you know they both shared an agent, you know,
with Rich Paul. I know they were both under the
same umbrella. So these two guys, I don't know if
(18:16):
it's if it's an actor for show or if it's real.
But it's popcorn. I'm gonna tune in to see the
highlights after my game. I want to see.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
But you know, you see, we we had this with
Dennis Rodman and Carl Malone, but I don't know how
many agitators there are, or you kind of like Draymond
Green is a great agitator.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Well, we thought that was on case in point last night.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I know when his coach.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Look, I think he had a the Trell spree well
and PJ Carlissimo flashback moment.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You think he was gonna go after Steve.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
I don't think he was gonna put hands on Steve Kurr.
I think there's too much respect there. But I think
he thought about the consequences and I think he did
the mature thing and removed himself from the situation. Now
everyone's going to go back and dissect everything that happened
that led up to that. I think it was a turnover. Now,
(19:20):
getting back on defense, Look, if you're the Warriors, if
you would have told me after thirty games this team
would be fifteen and fifteen and in the plan, I
would have looked at you crazy. Only from the simple
fact of how they ended the season. Last year after
the trade for Jimmy Butler, they were one of the
top five teams, especially defensively. Fast forward to this year. Defensively,
(19:44):
they are horrible and they can't seem to close games
with one of the best closers in the game and
Stephen Curry. So look, emotions are building up. I applaud
Draymond for removing himself from the situation. Not a part
of the Latrell's free will PJ. Carlisovo history. But where
(20:06):
there's smoke, there's fire. A little bit that's going on
with the Warriors right now.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Thunder have lost two of their last four, and I
don't know if this is where you go, Okay, we
don't have to try to go for the Golden State
Warriors record. Let's it's it's It's just like the Spurs
mentality with Greg Popovich. I don't care what our record
is until we get to the postseason. I know this
is a young Oklahoma City team and you want to
(20:32):
have your mark and leave your mark, But man, I
want you ready to go in May and June. I
don't care that you have seventy four seventy five wins.
I want to know that you won the title.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I hope that's some of the conversations that are being
had in that locker room. Again. And you mentioned this,
and you are one correct. This is a young team
fresh off a championship, and if you want to be
in the same breath as like I said, Bulls, Well,
the Chicago Bulls have that seventy two and ten record
and winning the championship. Now remember Golden State Eclipse that
(21:11):
but lost the championship but was rewarded Kevin Durant in
the process and then went on to win back to
back championship. So if you're the thunder, do you want
to be put in that vein? Or if you go
back to back you're already yeah. I mean you're with
the Warriors, you're with the Bulls. So I don't think
(21:33):
winning and eclipsing that Golden State record is that important.
I think again, I've always said this on the show.
Playing well the end of March in April and moving
on is the most important thing. As long as health,
that's the number one key. If Shaye continues to be healthy,
he's on that unbelievable one hundred I think it's one
(21:53):
hundred games now scoring twenty plus points. And now they've
got their pipping back back and j Dubbs, So this
team again is gonna continue to roll. I just hope
they don't go after it at the sake of winning
a championship and Tyler reing out some guys.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If Golden State had won that championship instead of the Cavaliers, would.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Kevin get you never get Durant.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's why I'm just saying, I'm just gonna say that
never would have happened.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Right, Never would have happened. There's because remember during that
OKC and Russell Westbrook and KD they were up three
to one on that team and lost, and then if
they went on to win the championship, he doesn't like, oh, okay,
well I'll join them now. That was kind of the
door was a little bit open for them to join them. Hey,
(22:46):
you guys want seventy three games, but you didn't win
the championship. He joins them. They went back to back
these finals, MVP back to back, so he has his chips.
But if the Warriors win that, in my humble opinion,
I don't believe Kadi would have joined them.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Talking to Reggie Miller, NBC Sports, NBA lead game analysts,
the Rockets at the Clippers and the Clippers, it's a
bad situation.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
It is all the way around. But again, I think
the riding was on the wall even before they rolled
the balls out for training camp with the whole Kawhi
aspirations and money under the table and circumventing the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
How often do you think this happens? Reg I mean,
let's just look at this from a business perspective of
I can pay you this, and all of these guys
are billionaires. I can give you side money. I can
give you something that you'll be papping.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
It absolutely happens because you have so many sponsors in
house where it could be a commercial here or an
appearance a few appearances here. But when there's a track
record of you never showing up for X amount of dollars,
I mean, that's a red flag. It's a red flag.
(24:08):
It happens, but they got caught.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Basically, Yeah, I have to believe there are some more
que players who've gotten side deals. We can pay you
this under the salary cap, that we're going to entice
you by giving you this.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
I'm sure it happens. It never happened this way. I
wish it would have in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Now, when you were at UCLA and you had no
show jobs, what were they what were they giving you
back then?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Giving me? Well, now that we can talk about things
because of the nil Wow they gave me. No, I
had free housing. I will say that I had a
plush free housing. And I to tell you truth, I
was the original fresh press fresh Prince of val Aire
because I did have a nice freehouse in bel Air.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Now, so I was the original Okay, but how does
that work that you got a free crib in bel Air?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That was it like somebody's paying your rent?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well? No, it was a mansion.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And wait were you Kato Kaelin before Kato Klan?
Speaker 7 (25:23):
I was the fresh Prince and I was kato' kalin exactly.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You were Kato Kaelin with a jump shot there. Okay,
I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
That was the real perk. That was the only perk
I had because again back to my military dad, my
dad didn't want other people having favors over you, you know,
because he was like, hey, they're always gonna want something,
so always gonna want something. So Pops was kind of
he had a hand on it as well.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I'm not sure how often you get on these courts
that we had during the Cup that they're painted, and
some players have talked about out there slippery. Did you
notice a difference in a regular game court and for
the cup. When they dress them up, the.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Gloss can be a little bit different. I wasn't on
any this year, but last year when we did do games,
it wasn't so much to them being slippery. It was
sightlines and they were so bright for a shooter. Some
of the glare from the lights, because remember now the
lights are coming down from the top, the glare would
be a little bit outstanding. But look, it's a marketing thing.
(26:32):
I get it. And in today's age of Nintendo and
all these ps fives and kids like the shiny new things.
That's where we're at with this.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Theodore, the worst court you ever played on.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Without the shining I mean person that I played on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, the worst court you ever played on?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
The old Sports Arena where the Clippers used to play
before they moved. Wasn't great. The old Sports Arena downtown terrible,
terrible for your knees.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
What about Boston Garden.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Yeah, but there's history and all.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You were okay with it. Yeah, but there's gaps in the.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
There is, but there's history in there. I like to
hit that. The old Chicago Stadium, the roar of the
crowd for him.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That the.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Atmosphere was great. I like playing in places like that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The best shooting arena.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Wait, I'm gonna say MSG, no question, it is the
best arena in my opinion. It the smell of the
zoo and the popcorn elephants in the back, the Broadway lighting,
the celebrities in the front row. You see nothing but
court in the front row, and it's it is the
(27:52):
best place to play, the best by far.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
The Spurs seem to be ahead of schedule.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yes, that's night listen. They have taken a page. And
this is how you know we're a copycat league. Look
at the success of the Thunder. You build through the draft,
you get all these guards that can pick you up
full court. They have a generational type player. Thunder have SDA,
(28:23):
the Spurs have Wimby. Yeah, both got young coaches that
are innovative. They both play deep nine ten and everyone
plays the same way and they play for one another.
And you see more teams doing that. The young Chicago
Bulls are trying to do that. The Pacers were on
(28:44):
this path until Howe got hurt with young players all
being able to play one way. And you're just seeing
a trend happen. And the Spurs right now, to me,
the only thing is can Wimby make it to the
finish line? Healthy health will be the only thing with him,
But they've shown without him they continue to win. But
(29:06):
they're a much better team defensively when he's in the lineup.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I'm wondering who he reminds you of.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Defensively, I think he's a mixture of Hakeem Elijah on
with his instincts but being able to block shots and
intimidate a lot like to Kim Bait a little bit.
I think he's a hybrid of those two. And then
(29:34):
a lot of people don't want to talk about Ralph Samson.
I think Ralph Samson at that size was ahead of
the game as well. I think he kind of his
name gets lost in the shuffle in terms of describing Wimby.
Ralph Samson Hall of Famer Ralph Samson was great at
both ends of the four, a lot like Wimby.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, I imagine Ralm Sampson.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Now then we wouldn't have any problem with seven four
guy playing on the perimeter. But back then you're like,
what are you doing? Get inside? Your coach would always say, whatever,
get inside.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
See how the game has changed because when Rolf was around.
It was. It was all about the big man and
being inside Moses Malone, Patrick Ewing, I mean all the kareem.
He grew up in that era where the game was
played inside out. Today the game is played outside in
and Wimby's in this generation. And if Ralph Stams then
(30:27):
played today and his skill set like a former teammate
of mine, would be unbelievable in today's game. Rick Smith's
would be great in today's game at seven two seven three,
kid face up, shoot, great passer, he would be great
in today's game.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
But where is the evolution, Like, what what's the next
evolution of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Ten domes from now?
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Dare I say there there may be a four point shot?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Would you be in favor of that?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
The game? Everything evolves, life evolves. I would. I have
no problem with that. Now, it's going to mess up
the records. If I'm Stephen Curry, I would be upset
with that. But in ten years I wouldn't be surprised
if there's a four point line.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
What about removing the three point line all together?
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Yeah, that adds I think that adds flair to it.
That will never happen. That adds too much flair. But
so you mean just have a four point line or
just have two pointers?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Have a four point line?
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Oh I like that, Then I can do that.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But is basketball okay? I know we go old school
and get caught up in the esthetics of basketball. I'm
not talking about the nineties when it wasn't, you know,
sthetically pleasing except for the bulls.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
But it's just a lot of threes. Is that good?
Is that good for the game.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
I would love to see a little bit more inside place.
But the game has become international universal. There's a lot
of people that are progressive that want to push the
game forward.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Would you ever widen the court? Can you widen the courts?
Can you would you ever consider raising the basket?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Okay, would you widen the court?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Look, if you widen the court again, you're taking revenue
away from these owners. No, you got a factor that in.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's just these guys are getting so big and there's
only so much room out there. Like there's certain guys
who can't go to the corner because their shoes would
probably be out of bound and be on the line.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Look, I would be in favor of widening it a
little bit. I would be okay with a four point play.
Maybe they would. I mean they would have to tell
me how this would work. Or maybe bring in a
four point play the last three minutes of a game.
I don't know. Look, we're hitting gimmicky a little bit.
(33:11):
I would just like to see a little bit more
inside play. It was so good when you had dominant
big men who could, you know, play with their back
to the basket. You just don't see a lot of
that anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
What about a red white and blue basketball?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Hey, how you do a favor of that?
Speaker 7 (33:27):
My ABA guys, Uncle Bell Daniels, Roger Brown, Bob Mettalickey,
Come on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Now, would you be in favor of a red, white
and blue ball?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
I would? I like that. It was so cool.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
It was great, you know when you had when you're
shooting and you had that ball.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
That looked that was fire back in the day.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
But I know, all right, well, we'll see if we
can get the commissioner on, I'll make some suggestions.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I think they're going overseas first. That's their first order
of business from what I've been hearing. Yeah, we're gonna
have a European League.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I know now that will work.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
I don't know, but I think that's first.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And I was here in some of the price tags.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I'm talking to somebody who was actually helping to negotiate
in a city over there, and he was telling me numbers,
and I go, man, are they going to be able
to raise that kind of money over here?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
And he said, yeah, they're playing the long game with this, and.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
That the basketball a European Basketball League is coming, so
you're going to have you know, Madrid and Barcelona, and
you know Italy, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Greece, parent, you know all of that.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
That's coming. It's coming soon. All right, have fun tonight,
say nice things about the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
If you can't, I will, no, I will, I will
show up. Is playing.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Well today?
Speaker 1 (34:50):
To pay?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
You know, he gets paid whether whether he shows up
or not.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
That is true. They all do.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, thank you, reg.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Shit, Happy holidays, Theodore to you and yours and to

sneaky sneaky good all right. Most Must Win Game of
the Weekend otherwise known as the mmwgt W Todd.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
I'm a little tired of hearing of it, but the
whole Josh Allen.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
This has to be his year because some of the
other top quarterbacks aren't going to be in the Super Bowl,
so the Bills have.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Something to prove at home against the Eagles and keep
up with the pace.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Seaton. Most must win Game of the Weekend, I feel
like I would have to check.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
But I feel like this is a big week for
the Texans.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Texans getting two against the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I think the Texans right now they're sort of in
the hunt, if you will, for the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is a big, big game for them.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
They need to win.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
How about you, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
The Indianapolis Colts, they've lost five straight. They got to
stay alive in the playoffs and beat the Jaguars.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Uh, Paul, it's not exactly this weekend, but it's coming up.
The Indiana Hoosiers against Alabama. You have a once in
a lifetime chance to do something. It's already special, but
galactic special at Indiana must win.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
The most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I was going to do college, but since everybody else
was doing NFL, I'm gonna say the most most the
most must loss of the weekend would be the Raiders.
They have to lose that game against the Giants. Don't
do anything tricky and try to win a game and
then blow your chance to have the number one pick
(38:27):
in the draft. The Giants are favored by one and
a half against the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
The Raiders, Okay, you want to clean up the pole
question stuff, Seaton.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, we could do that. I go to clean up
the pole question if you'd like, Okay, we have up there.
Do you prefer to travel or host for the holidays?
Most people prefer to host. Yep, And the who's more
to blame for a usc Notre Dame Notre Dame is
running away with that one. Also have his philip rivers
(39:01):
helping or hurting his Hall of Fame case? Right now
he's helping it by eighty five percent.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay, that's fine, great story.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Maybe in five years from now we look back and
we go, man, that was great. That was great what
he did, and he didn't embarrass himself and he played
pretty well.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Yeah, Paul, I don't think the NFL is going to
make him wait five years. I think they're going to
give him some type of exemption that this is a
unique situation why. I don't know why. I just think
they will. I think that the NFL will put him
back on the ballot for this upcoming.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Okay, preferential treatment. Is that what you're saying? Hey, you
know this day in sports history.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
You'll love this one day in nineteen seventy two, the
Steelers versus the Raiders thirteen to seven in a playoff game.
On the last second played, dubbed the Immaculate Reception, Pittsburgh's
franc Oharris caught a deflected pass and ran all the
way for the touchdown.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Todd, would you learn today Alabama is getting seven against
Indiana and in their upcoming clift?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
In what alternate universe have we all fallen into?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Let's see Seaton big day for Jay Dn Yeah, the
big Germans brother Jay was the most valuable backroom guy, Marvin.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
We keep people sober, Oh not all people, Todd, What
did I learn?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Reggie Miller had free housing and bell air while playing
at UCLA State at a guesthouse in a mansion, his
ownly perk.

Merry Christmas.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Voting is over. It's time.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well, we're getting to that moment of the most Valuable
Least Valuable Danet. They're already screwing things up the backroom guys. Mario,
whose job is to direct the show. Also he is
the reigning most Valuable backroom Guy, and then he says, oh,
why don't we wait to reveal the results? And I go,
it's my show and I need you to give me

his trophy most Valuable Backroom Guy to the newest winner.

Reggie Miller will stop buy in a little bit. Good morning.
(00:50):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
We'll come up with a new poll question. Also, the
most must win game of the weekend. We'll have that
for you coming up. Last night, the Colts lost clinched
playoff spots with the Bills, Jags, and the Chargers. But
this should be about the forty nine Ers because they
looked great on the road, giving five and a half
(01:14):
and rock Perty throws for five touchdowns as they roll
forty eight to twenty seven. They have now scored points
in twenty three consecutive quarters, the team's longest such streak
since nineteen ninety five. Stat of the Day is always
(01:41):
brought to you by Penny America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. You got a double header
basketball Tuesday nights on NBC in Peacock, Nuggets, mAbs, and
you have the Rockets and the Clippers. Reggie Miller will
talk about that NBA on NBC and streaming on Peacock's
Seaton Poll. Question for the final hour of the Final
(02:03):
Day for us this holiday.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Season, Final Day, Final Show, Final What let's see we
got up there right now for the holidays. You prefer
to host or travel right now? Sixty percent prefer to host.
And then we also have who's more to blame for
the USC Notre Dame rivalry going away?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Notre Dame has fifty eight percent. That's great. What are
we going to go with the final hour? I got
one here.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
From Paul who is asking if Philip Rivers is helping
his Hall of Fame chances or hurting his Hall of
Fame chances.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I think he's doing both because he's helping right now,
but by delaying five years, like he's going to be
up against Aaron Rodgers probably, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I think he's lightly helping his Hall of Fame case
because he doesn't have have a big hook besides numbers
and longevity.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
He doesn't have a Super Bowl a lot of moments.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
But I think this puts a pretty good spin on
the end of his career and people will remember that
in five years.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, not huge, it's a good story.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Good story.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You just you know, you wonder what quarterbacks are going
to be retiring and what kind of numbers are they
going to have. Are they going to have an MVP
and or a Super Bowl. I'm assuming Matthew Stafford the
way he's played this year, is going to want to
play at least another year. I don't know about Aaron Rodgers,
So you've got to factor that in as well. That
now you've moved the clock, you know, it's five five
(03:36):
more years. By the way, it's a meat Tuesday. We
just had some biscuits and gravy. We also have steak
and eggs, bacon, hash Browns. Who has it better than
nobody back in college Patty and Louisville.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Hey Patty Dan, longtime, first time. What's on your mind?
How are you the only one that ates the biscuits
and gravy?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Right? You have to owe open the biscuit.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh the dance did not open the biscuit. No, Marvin,
just ate the biscuit. Oh Marvin, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, thank you, Patty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I did didn't know we were going to be educated
in how to eat biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yes, Paul, as a person who believes in personal freedom
when eat. Whilst eating, some people chop up their biscuit.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Okay, just thrown out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay, that's fine, it's fine. Yes, fine.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I picked up the biscuit like there was a rock
on the floor, and I just dipped it into the
gravy and just held it.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
In my hand like I was holding a ball.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I had no interest in opening up.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Uh, Mario, if you could please give me the results
of the most valuable Least valuable dann.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
And is there any uh possible ability that you were
throwing things at curveballs at Mario last minute to affect
his voting.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He was told I tell him, don't produce a show,
just direct a show. And here's Anthony, who is on
the short list for Most Valuable back Room Yes, he's
made the first round to cut. He has made the
first round of cuts. That's Anthony, the youngest member of
our staff.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yes, paul would Anthony be the first ever rookie to
win it?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Wow? This is his first year.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And Mario has his trophy because he was the most
Valuable BRG last year. And it's right there if you're
watching on Peacock and Mario will bring that out. I
believe when you know what Mario, Mario, why don't you
bring that out? Because I want to introduce this year's
(05:48):
most Valuable Backroom Guy, Toddy. I'm gonna let you guess
who you think I'm picking for the most Valuable backroom Guy.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I am going to go with Dylan for that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Dylan, all right, Marvin Dylan, all right, Paulie, I'm pretty
sure you're going with Rob Rob Okay seatan.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh man.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know what I'm just gonna say. Uh, I'm gonna
throw it out there. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Ray, Ray. You can't say it and laugh. You can't
say it, then laugh at your own joke. Okay, gob cutthroat.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
All right, I'm sorry, Ray, that was a very nice
you know, I always got to go for the joke.
I'm sorry. It's a weakness that I have. I have
to go for it. Ray, You're very great, important. You're
my MVP RG. Okay every day.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Anthony who just started with us full time, he's on
the short list. Dylan has done a wonderful job as well.
Rob was sneaky great, does a lot of things. The
newsletter very very underrated, very understated. Uh Ray has done
a great job. Ray with the gambling podcast. There's just
(07:04):
so many candidates weeks. Who was our cameraman, you know?
Uh Eric the big german, all the things that he
did driving cross country. The most valuable back room guy
for this year is Jay Eric. There's like Leicester City
(07:32):
coming to sleep.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yes, this guy, this guy's been down twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Three his whole life. Yes, so oh, let's go Jay
in the building. I don't he's in the back working,
he's smoking outside. He might be smoking a heater butt
on his behalf of if we can, if we could
get in touch with him, you would have thought that
Mario would be producing this where we would have Jay
here to accept his award.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Vegas in there Ja on the board.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Jay was not on the board. And I did say
to the big German. And by the way, Mario was
so sure that it was going to be Dylan. Mario
betta pie to the face that it was gonna be Dylan.
So Mario not only loses the BRG trophy, he will
get a pie to the face coming up at the
(08:22):
end of the show. So if we can locate j
and it was probably outside.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You know, that's really unfortunate is that one of the
brg's had to go get Jay to bring him out
here to be like here, you're the person that won,
you know, in there.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Comes see that's a guy. Y All right, Jay, come
over here and get your trophy. Oh what a great moment.
Look at that there. You know, buddy movie, you're welcome
Jay there. He is so many newports tonight. Yeah, all
(08:59):
the newports cigarettes for everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
J Jay did a wonderful job this year. And uh,
right on cue they have to get him from back.
He's out there working and uh he of course is
the brother of the big German Eric, the big german.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So, uh, here we go.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yes, it was busy tarring the roof. That's why he
was late to accept the award. We had to get
him down with the ladder and everything. Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Okay, so Mario, you're an idiot.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I just opened the least Valuable dannette. There's nothing in here,
and then I opened the most Valuable dannette.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Then there's two things in here.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That is classic.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Okay, all right, what do you what do you like?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
This is why you you're getting a piety. I can
give you a pie of the face right now. I
wish you could be more like Jay.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Probably should have that m VBRG after Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, do we want to do Least Valuable Dan at
the start? Todd? Yeah, you guess.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I thought it was a you're announcing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just right to it, Todd.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I'm gonna go myself with least Valuable Dan net.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Okay, uh seatan, I'm gonna say me okay, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Me.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Paul. I think Todd will win the award.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Paul finished fourth, Least Valuable Marvin third, Seaton finished second.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Dang I lost.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It wasn't that close. Fritzy won by twenty five hundred vote.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Hate. Maybe it's a good thing. I don't know what
to maan.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now we get here, we go the envelope for the
most valuable. Dan Paulie was last, Marvin third, the winner
(11:20):
by a mere one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Franc He started.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The double.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah wow, you did the daily double again and the Lowman,
which once.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Again canceled each other. Oute. So I'm just kind of
a nomeric.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You're a you're you're of It's all about content. You're
really good and really bad.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Give it and take it away. That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yes, but Mary, I take that as a compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Maybe what the best in the most and least. I
don't know what. I'm trying to figure out how to
process that.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That you do really really good things and then you'd
do some bad things.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
There are extremes of repeatle contribution.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You're kind of like a home run hitter who strikes out.
You're Adam Dunn or Dave Kingman more hate him thing
with that. Yeah, you either hit a.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Home run or you strike out. You're are Pete Alonzo.
How's that lays to be compared to pet It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
If you take out Ethan, who won back to back mvds.
Somehow Todd has won five of the last six MM.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Congratulations Todd.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
It's a pretty amazing run.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
It's like a dynasty. I'm gonna like a all of a.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sudden, yeah, but you're making an impact.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
It matters.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
People also won four of the last five lvds. It's
basically just a Todd Fritz competition because he wins both
of them every single year.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was, you know, the least Valuable danet. So you
could see the voting and it went up like giving
the middle finger, like Todd's votes were so much that
it was like the other dan outs are here, and
then it went straight up like you were giving the
middle finger to all those who.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Voted for you.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Todd.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, oh so much drama. I'm exhausted, but I still
got forty five minutes every day. Super Bowl Professional. Yes,
thank you, thank you, Todd. Reggie Miller will join us
coming up. We'll get some more phone calls. We will
also have Todd's holiday names, yes, so he can get
a start to next year's Least Valuable dan at and
(13:30):
we will have thee that will go to Now anything
that happens from here on goes on next year's resume.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, just letting you know.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Eleven fourteen am Eastern.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Time also the most must win game of the weekend.

meet Tuesday. We'll take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foosco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Packrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you
wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Shut up.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to The Pauly and Tony Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yee Todd off to a bad start for next year
least valuable?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Dan ed Did you do this last year?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Did you?
Speaker 8 (14:46):
I mean, that's why we have one foot out the
door and you're counting the Minister of a on woll
be professional.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You got forty minutes.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I was weak. I should have had that on your
desk a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And yeah, you got some notes here.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You got to tell me that you know, the Rockets
visit the Clippers tonight at ten thirty eastern and Reggie
Miller will be on the call Terry Gannon.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And you didn't give me that information. I can't do
that to Red.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I was looking at the bacon and the steak and eggs.
We got biscuits.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I know we do have steak and eggs coming up.
We do have gravy and biscuits. Hi, reg how are you?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I'm great, Theodore Todd. I'm just supporting in you man.
Come on, man. Years ago, you were always, you know,
a step ahead of everyone, and I mean, oh, how
the mighty have fallen?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Come on now, I'm mailing it in. It's not good
for the last hour of the year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Here were you ever late for a game?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
For a game? Never? Never for a game? I think
I was late maybe out of my whole eighteen year
career to a practice once and it was because of
a snowstorm, a rare snowstorm in Indiana. I wasn't a
great driver in snow and I was probably late, fifteen
minutes late to a practice.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Okay, so you weren't like iverson never never.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
I was always I'm military show Hello, But how tough
was your dad on?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
All of you guys, you and your brother and your
sister like being a military like even when you show
up for this show, Like you're showing up early every time,
early every time?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But what was growing up in the household.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
Because if you're five minutes early, you're really five minutes late.
I just like to be prepared. I like things to work,
as everyone knows. I just things flow better with me
when things are organized. So I like, I like to
come to you guys and make sure the picture looks good,
we sound good. Growing up in the middle of the household,
(16:48):
it was, you know, throw the corter off the bed
and make sure it bounced once or twice. He We
led this kind of life just because I think it
helped in Because we were always first or second to practice,
you got extra time. We always stayed late. It just
(17:09):
now my kids now don't like it. Like Dad, you
weren't in the military. We can see Papa, but you
were in the military. I was like, well, I'm a product.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Sorry, yeah, but you're not making the bed now at home?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Hello, Yes, I am really yes.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Can you make the bed better than your wife? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
She's not making the bed. No, she does a great
job of helping me make the bed. Court we instill
in our kids that doing chores are something that kids
are supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Lakers play the Suns tonight. How long will it take
for Dylan Brooks to get into it with Lebron.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I think it started right up about now. Look, we
love we love the antics. These two have had a history.
What I just found out, which was a little surprising.
I do you know they both shared an agent, you know,
with Rich Paul. I know they were both under the
same umbrella. So these two guys, I don't know if
(18:16):
it's if it's an actor for show or if it's real.
But it's popcorn. I'm gonna tune in to see the
highlights after my game. I want to see.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
But you know, you see, we we had this with
Dennis Rodman and Carl Malone, but I don't know how
many agitators there are, or you kind of like Draymond
Green is a great agitator.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Well, we thought that was on case in point last night.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I know when his coach.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Look, I think he had a the Trell spree well
and PJ Carlissimo flashback moment.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You think he was gonna go after Steve.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
I don't think he was gonna put hands on Steve Kurr.
I think there's too much respect there. But I think
he thought about the consequences and I think he did
the mature thing and removed himself from the situation. Now
everyone's going to go back and dissect everything that happened
that led up to that. I think it was a turnover. Now,
(19:20):
getting back on defense, Look, if you're the Warriors, if
you would have told me after thirty games this team
would be fifteen and fifteen and in the plan, I
would have looked at you crazy. Only from the simple
fact of how they ended the season. Last year after
the trade for Jimmy Butler, they were one of the
top five teams, especially defensively. Fast forward to this year. Defensively,
(19:44):
they are horrible and they can't seem to close games
with one of the best closers in the game and
Stephen Curry. So look, emotions are building up. I applaud
Draymond for removing himself from the situation. Not a part
of the Latrell's free will PJ. Carlisovo history. But where
(20:06):
there's smoke, there's fire. A little bit that's going on
with the Warriors right now.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Thunder have lost two of their last four, and I
don't know if this is where you go, Okay, we
don't have to try to go for the Golden State
Warriors record. Let's it's it's It's just like the Spurs
mentality with Greg Popovich. I don't care what our record
is until we get to the postseason. I know this
is a young Oklahoma City team and you want to
(20:32):
have your mark and leave your mark, But man, I
want you ready to go in May and June. I
don't care that you have seventy four seventy five wins.
I want to know that you won the title.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I hope that's some of the conversations that are being
had in that locker room. Again. And you mentioned this,
and you are one correct. This is a young team
fresh off a championship, and if you want to be
in the same breath as like I said, Bulls, Well,
the Chicago Bulls have that seventy two and ten record
and winning the championship. Now remember Golden State Eclipse that
(21:11):
but lost the championship but was rewarded Kevin Durant in
the process and then went on to win back to
back championship. So if you're the thunder, do you want
to be put in that vein? Or if you go
back to back you're already yeah. I mean you're with
the Warriors, you're with the Bulls. So I don't think
(21:33):
winning and eclipsing that Golden State record is that important.
I think again, I've always said this on the show.
Playing well the end of March in April and moving
on is the most important thing. As long as health,
that's the number one key. If Shaye continues to be healthy,
he's on that unbelievable one hundred I think it's one
(21:53):
hundred games now scoring twenty plus points. And now they've
got their pipping back back and j Dubbs, So this
team again is gonna continue to roll. I just hope
they don't go after it at the sake of winning
a championship and Tyler reing out some guys.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If Golden State had won that championship instead of the Cavaliers, would.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Kevin get you never get Durant.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's why I'm just saying, I'm just gonna say that
never would have happened.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Right, Never would have happened. There's because remember during that
OKC and Russell Westbrook and KD they were up three
to one on that team and lost, and then if
they went on to win the championship, he doesn't like, oh, okay,
well I'll join them now. That was kind of the
door was a little bit open for them to join them. Hey,
(22:46):
you guys want seventy three games, but you didn't win
the championship. He joins them. They went back to back
these finals, MVP back to back, so he has his chips.
But if the Warriors win that, in my humble opinion,
I don't believe Kadi would have joined them.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Talking to Reggie Miller, NBC Sports, NBA lead game analysts,
the Rockets at the Clippers and the Clippers, it's a
bad situation.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
It is all the way around. But again, I think
the riding was on the wall even before they rolled
the balls out for training camp with the whole Kawhi
aspirations and money under the table and circumventing the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
How often do you think this happens? Reg I mean,
let's just look at this from a business perspective of
I can pay you this, and all of these guys
are billionaires. I can give you side money. I can
give you something that you'll be papping.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
It absolutely happens because you have so many sponsors in
house where it could be a commercial here or an
appearance a few appearances here. But when there's a track
record of you never showing up for X amount of dollars,
I mean, that's a red flag. It's a red flag.
(24:08):
It happens, but they got caught.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Basically, Yeah, I have to believe there are some more
que players who've gotten side deals. We can pay you
this under the salary cap, that we're going to entice
you by giving you this.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
I'm sure it happens. It never happened this way. I
wish it would have in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Now, when you were at UCLA and you had no
show jobs, what were they what were they giving you
back then?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Giving me? Well, now that we can talk about things
because of the nil Wow they gave me. No, I
had free housing. I will say that I had a
plush free housing. And I to tell you truth, I
was the original fresh press fresh Prince of val Aire
because I did have a nice freehouse in bel Air.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Now, so I was the original Okay, but how does
that work that you got a free crib in bel Air?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That was it like somebody's paying your rent?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well? No, it was a mansion.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And wait were you Kato Kaelin before Kato Klan?
Speaker 7 (25:23):
I was the fresh Prince and I was kato' kalin exactly.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You were Kato Kaelin with a jump shot there. Okay,
I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
That was the real perk. That was the only perk
I had because again back to my military dad, my
dad didn't want other people having favors over you, you know,
because he was like, hey, they're always gonna want something,
so always gonna want something. So Pops was kind of
he had a hand on it as well.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I'm not sure how often you get on these courts
that we had during the Cup that they're painted, and
some players have talked about out there slippery. Did you
notice a difference in a regular game court and for
the cup. When they dress them up, the.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Gloss can be a little bit different. I wasn't on
any this year, but last year when we did do games,
it wasn't so much to them being slippery. It was
sightlines and they were so bright for a shooter. Some
of the glare from the lights, because remember now the
lights are coming down from the top, the glare would
be a little bit outstanding. But look, it's a marketing thing.
(26:32):
I get it. And in today's age of Nintendo and
all these ps fives and kids like the shiny new things.
That's where we're at with this.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Theodore, the worst court you ever played on.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Without the shining I mean person that I played on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, the worst court you ever played on?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
The old Sports Arena where the Clippers used to play
before they moved. Wasn't great. The old Sports Arena downtown terrible,
terrible for your knees.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
What about Boston Garden.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Yeah, but there's history and all.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You were okay with it. Yeah, but there's gaps in the.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
There is, but there's history in there. I like to
hit that. The old Chicago Stadium, the roar of the
crowd for him.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That the.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Atmosphere was great. I like playing in places like that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The best shooting arena.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Wait, I'm gonna say MSG, no question, it is the
best arena in my opinion. It the smell of the
zoo and the popcorn elephants in the back, the Broadway lighting,
the celebrities in the front row. You see nothing but
court in the front row, and it's it is the
(27:52):
best place to play, the best by far.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
The Spurs seem to be ahead of schedule.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yes, that's night listen. They have taken a page. And
this is how you know we're a copycat league. Look
at the success of the Thunder. You build through the draft,
you get all these guards that can pick you up
full court. They have a generational type player. Thunder have SDA,
(28:23):
the Spurs have Wimby. Yeah, both got young coaches that
are innovative. They both play deep nine ten and everyone
plays the same way and they play for one another.
And you see more teams doing that. The young Chicago
Bulls are trying to do that. The Pacers were on
(28:44):
this path until Howe got hurt with young players all
being able to play one way. And you're just seeing
a trend happen. And the Spurs right now, to me,
the only thing is can Wimby make it to the
finish line? Healthy health will be the only thing with him,
But they've shown without him they continue to win. But
(29:06):
they're a much better team defensively when he's in the lineup.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I'm wondering who he reminds you of.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Defensively, I think he's a mixture of Hakeem Elijah on
with his instincts but being able to block shots and
intimidate a lot like to Kim Bait a little bit.
I think he's a hybrid of those two. And then
(29:34):
a lot of people don't want to talk about Ralph Samson.
I think Ralph Samson at that size was ahead of
the game as well. I think he kind of his
name gets lost in the shuffle in terms of describing Wimby.
Ralph Samson Hall of Famer Ralph Samson was great at
both ends of the four, a lot like Wimby.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, I imagine Ralm Sampson.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Now then we wouldn't have any problem with seven four
guy playing on the perimeter. But back then you're like,
what are you doing? Get inside? Your coach would always say, whatever,
get inside.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
See how the game has changed because when Rolf was around.
It was. It was all about the big man and
being inside Moses Malone, Patrick Ewing, I mean all the kareem.
He grew up in that era where the game was
played inside out. Today the game is played outside in
and Wimby's in this generation. And if Ralph Stams then
(30:27):
played today and his skill set like a former teammate
of mine, would be unbelievable in today's game. Rick Smith's
would be great in today's game at seven two seven three,
kid face up, shoot, great passer, he would be great
in today's game.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
But where is the evolution, Like, what what's the next
evolution of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Ten domes from now?
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Dare I say there there may be a four point shot?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Would you be in favor of that?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
The game? Everything evolves, life evolves. I would. I have
no problem with that. Now, it's going to mess up
the records. If I'm Stephen Curry, I would be upset
with that. But in ten years I wouldn't be surprised
if there's a four point line.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
What about removing the three point line all together?
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Yeah, that adds I think that adds flair to it.
That will never happen. That adds too much flair. But
so you mean just have a four point line or
just have two pointers?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Have a four point line?
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Oh I like that, Then I can do that.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But is basketball okay? I know we go old school
and get caught up in the esthetics of basketball. I'm
not talking about the nineties when it wasn't, you know,
sthetically pleasing except for the bulls.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
But it's just a lot of threes. Is that good?
Is that good for the game.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
I would love to see a little bit more inside place.
But the game has become international universal. There's a lot
of people that are progressive that want to push the
game forward.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Would you ever widen the court? Can you widen the courts?
Can you would you ever consider raising the basket?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Okay, would you widen the court?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Look, if you widen the court again, you're taking revenue
away from these owners. No, you got a factor that in.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's just these guys are getting so big and there's
only so much room out there. Like there's certain guys
who can't go to the corner because their shoes would
probably be out of bound and be on the line.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Look, I would be in favor of widening it a
little bit. I would be okay with a four point play.
Maybe they would. I mean they would have to tell
me how this would work. Or maybe bring in a
four point play the last three minutes of a game.
I don't know. Look, we're hitting gimmicky a little bit.
(33:11):
I would just like to see a little bit more
inside play. It was so good when you had dominant
big men who could, you know, play with their back
to the basket. You just don't see a lot of
that anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
What about a red white and blue basketball?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Hey, how you do a favor of that?
Speaker 7 (33:27):
My ABA guys, Uncle Bell Daniels, Roger Brown, Bob Mettalickey,
Come on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Now, would you be in favor of a red, white
and blue ball?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
I would? I like that. It was so cool.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
It was great, you know when you had when you're
shooting and you had that ball.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
That looked that was fire back in the day.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
But I know, all right, well, we'll see if we
can get the commissioner on, I'll make some suggestions.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I think they're going overseas first. That's their first order
of business from what I've been hearing. Yeah, we're gonna
have a European League.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I know now that will work.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
I don't know, but I think that's first.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And I was here in some of the price tags.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I'm talking to somebody who was actually helping to negotiate
in a city over there, and he was telling me numbers,
and I go, man, are they going to be able
to raise that kind of money over here?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
And he said, yeah, they're playing the long game with this, and.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
That the basketball a European Basketball League is coming, so

Speaker 6 (37:13):
I'm a little tired of hearing of it, but the
whole Josh Allen.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
This has to be his year because some of the
other top quarterbacks aren't going to be in the Super Bowl,
so the Bills have.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Something to prove at home against the Eagles and keep
up with the pace.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Seaton. Most must win Game of the Weekend, I feel
like I would have to check.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
But I feel like this is a big week for
the Texans.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Texans getting two against the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I think the Texans right now they're sort of in
the hunt, if you will, for the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is a big, big game for them.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
They need to win.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
How about you, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
The Indianapolis Colts, they've lost five straight. They got to
stay alive in the playoffs and beat the Jaguars.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Uh, Paul, it's not exactly this weekend, but it's coming up.
The Indiana Hoosiers against Alabama. You have a once in
a lifetime chance to do something. It's already special, but
galactic special at Indiana must win.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
The most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I was going to do college, but since everybody else
was doing NFL, I'm gonna say the most most the
most must loss of the weekend would be the Raiders.
They have to lose that game against the Giants. Don't
do anything tricky and try to win a game and
then blow your chance to have the number one pick
(38:27):
in the draft. The Giants are favored by one and
a half against the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
The Raiders, Okay, you want to clean up the pole
question stuff, Seaton.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, we could do that. I go to clean up
the pole question if you'd like, Okay, we have up there.
Do you prefer to travel or host for the holidays?
Most people prefer to host. Yep, And the who's more
to blame for a usc Notre Dame Notre Dame is
running away with that one. Also have his philip rivers
(39:01):
helping or hurting his Hall of Fame case? Right now
he's helping it by eighty five percent.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay, that's fine, great story.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Maybe in five years from now we look back and
we go, man, that was great. That was great what
he did, and he didn't embarrass himself and he played
pretty well.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Yeah, Paul, I don't think the NFL is going to
make him wait five years. I think they're going to
give him some type of exemption that this is a
unique situation why. I don't know why. I just think
they will. I think that the NFL will put him
back on the ballot for this upcoming.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Okay, preferential treatment. Is that what you're saying? Hey, you
know this day in sports history.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
You'll love this one day in nineteen seventy two, the
Steelers versus the Raiders thirteen to seven in a playoff game.
On the last second played, dubbed the Immaculate Reception, Pittsburgh's
franc Oharris caught a deflected pass and ran all the
way for the touchdown.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Todd, would you learn today Alabama is getting seven against
Indiana and in their upcoming clift?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
In what alternate universe have we all fallen into?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Let's see Seaton big day for Jay Dn Yeah, the
big Germans brother Jay was the most valuable backroom guy, Marvin.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
