Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Made it to a Friday, Dan and the Dan and
Stan Patrick Show. I'm not in the main man Cave.
I'm in the main man Cave, but not in the
main without the e man Cave and the recipe. The
menu today certainly bears that out. Fritzy probably not going
to be happy with all of this burger and waffle fries.
That's it. As Tyler said, he didn't want to waste
(00:27):
a good meat Friday on just the Dan Etts if
I wasn't going to be in studio. So that's who
has it better than we do. No money, buddy, this
is fun.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
We're calling it the Winter Burger Festival. Burgers and beers
outside in the cold.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Burgers and waffle fries on the menu. Here for a
meat Friday, all right, Come on in, stay a while.
We'll talk to Jason Garrett, former Cowboys head coach David Carr,
NFL network analyst Mike Florio. We'll stop by as well.
Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls throughout
the morning. Eight seven to seven, three DP show Three
(01:05):
Days of Football Straight Ahead, starting with Saturday games Sunday,
games Monday, Monday night National Title game. So we'll try
to dissect all of these over the next three hours.
Most cars on the road could use a little TLC
and at MAKO they're trying to bring your car back
to life with affordable paint jobs and light collision repairs.
(01:26):
Get a free estimate today, Oh better get make up
play the day, poll question stat of the Day, all
of that forthcoming. The point spreads as of this morning
according to DraftKings, I've got the Texans getting eight and
a half, the Commanders getting eight and a half, the
Rams are getting six, and the Bills at home are
getting one and a half. Fritzi, It's Friday, Fritzi. He's
(01:48):
got a few pole question suggestions seat and will also
fill in some of the gray area there with some
of his own. Well, recap the big basketball game last night.
You probably didn't watch it, but the Oklahoma City Thunder
now thirty four and six. They rough up the Cavaliers
as they win by twenty and trying to make somebody
(02:09):
a star in a city that doesn't make stars or
a game that probably doesn't bear itself out and highlights
on the mothership. That's Shay gilgis Alexander. You'd have to
work on the name, the game and the fact that
he's in Oklahoma City. But I think all signs are
leading to him being the MVP this year. Might be
(02:32):
a little MVP voter fatigue with the Joker, but Shay
Gilgiss is averaging over thirty a game. He had over
forty last night against the Cavaliers. We'll talk about that
coming up. And he was second. He finished runner up
to Joker last year, so it's not going to be
a big surprise, but we'll talk about that. You're trying
or it feels like there's analysts trying to let you know,
(02:54):
watch him play. It's just he's not a highlight machine.
He's just extremely economically great. It just he goes out
there and he'll give you forty points. I think he's
done that six times so far this season. Alrighty Todd,
I'm gonna start with you. You have a few Friday
Fritzy Poll questions.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Texans aside, if the Lions reached the Super Bowl, who
should they want to play? It would be the Bills,
Chiefs or Ravens. Who should the Lions want to play?
If they're fortunate enough to reach the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I think it's weird to say the obvious answer would
be the Kansas City Chiefs because they feel vulnerable at
fifteen and two. I want no part of Patrick Mahomes
in a big game. I don't I don't been down
that road too many times. No, not gonna do it.
You can give me Lamar Jackson maybe one of the
greatest seasons ever by a quarterback, and Josh Allen is
(03:51):
probably going to be the runner up to him for MVP.
I'll take my chances because those guys haven't been in
this situation before. It's the same thing with Tom Brady.
I don't know how many years he wasn't the best
quarterback in the league. But if you said you got
to win one game, or you had a game winning
drive and you gave him the football or anybody else,
(04:11):
you said, I'll take him. And that's what Mahomes is.
Mahomes is not a stat machine. He hasn't been. They've
changed the whole complexion of this team. It's a defensive team.
They do run the football. Travis Kelcey has regressed a
little bit the last couple of years. During the regular season.
He's another guy where you go, man, I don't know.
(04:31):
It seems to be slowing down a little bit, and
it'll be like seven catches for ninety yards and with
Mahomes somehow, some way, you can't game plan for third
and fifteen and he gets out of the pocket dances
down the sidelines for sixteen. So I would say, I'll
take my chances with Buffalo or the Texans or the
(04:55):
Baltimore Ravens, anybody taking Kansas City that the Lions would
want to face old Ud.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Okay, it'll be extra special to keep them from the
three peats.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
The Chiefs, to me, I.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Understand your point, which are all valid, are a little
less scary than Lamar and Josh and those two teams.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Okay, But if I said the Broncos were in the
AFC title, gay and you could face the Ravens, Bills
are Chiefs? Who were you taking?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Based on what happened in the regular season, they got
destroyed forty one to ten against the Ravens. The Bills
just destroyed the Broncos. Denver almost beat the Chiefs in
Kansas City on a block field goal, and then they
let them beat them thirty eight to nothing. I'm gonna say,
I would take the Chiefs. They know us, but we
know them. We played them twice a year, and I
just think the Chiefs are ripe for the taking, as
(05:42):
if Bills and Ravens scamming more than the Chiefs, even
with all the experience in my home seat.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
What about you?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah, we us let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I feel like the Chiefs are actually the last team
that I want I would want to face, and probably
for all of the reasons you just mentioned, actually owing
for the three p they're completely unpredictable. I feel like
you can game plan for a lot of different things,
but you really can't game plan for that. You know,
fourth and seventeen, you've got Patrick Mahomes exactly where you
want to be scrambling, he jumps out of bounds and
(06:12):
somehow throws a thirty seven yard dart to a wide
open Kelsey, and this year, like, what the hell, we
just had him sacked, We just had them on fourth down.
You know, you can't really game plan for that.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But you would also look at that game planning that
Josh Allen is capable of those crazy plays and Lamar
Jackson capable of those plays. I've just seen it. When
the game is on the line and it's time to
pucker and Mahomes is awesome.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Yeah, right, those guys are all capable of those things,
but Patrick Mahomes does them regularly and right those other
two quarterbacks they have more of a history of.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Puckering.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
As you'd say that, they just makes them less scary.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, Paulie, I'm with you. I want no part of
the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been right for the taking
for straight years. It seems like every week they're down,
every game they're down. How many playoff games have they
been down? If I were a Lions fan going into
the fourth quart of the Super Bowl up two touchdowns
on the Chiefs, I'd be like, oh no, oh my.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It would never be caught it. He's got us just
where he wants to, right, you know, never comfortable. Dang it,
dang it. We're only up two touchdowns going into the
fourth quarter. But the Ravens in Buffalo and the Ravens
favored on the road by one and a half. You know,
you start to look at these and I always go,
what's Vegas want me to do? Is Vegas saying, you
(07:36):
know what, you got to take the bills they're getting
one and a half at home. That's what they're saying
to you. And then you look at these numbers with
the Commanders and the Lions eight and a half, Texans
Chiefs eight and a half, it feels and this isn't
fair to the Texans. I'll say that up front, like
the Commanders are capable, might be more capable of beating
(07:57):
the Lions in Detroit than the Texans beating the Chiefs
in Kansas City. And maybe that's you know, just the
perception of or the lack of respect. The Texans get
but eight and a half for both of these teams
on the road, and then the Rams and the Eagles
six point game. And I started to look at some
of the prop bets. Here. If I said over under
(08:21):
rushing yards Saquon Barkley against the Rams, Marvin, you got
a guess here, seventy five and a half, all right,
Seaton eighty two, Paul eighty nine and a half.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Todd, I'm going to say ninety four and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
One twelve and a half. That's aggressive, no respect. That
surprised me a little bit there, Yeah, yeah, uh. They
expect Josh Allen to have more passing yards than Lamar Jackson.
How about Derrick Henry over under rushing yards Ravens Bills,
Paul ninety six and a half, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Eighty eight, Todd ninety and a half, Seaton two hundred
and twenty seven and one half.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Ninety seven and a half. PAULI had ninety six and
a half. Yes, Patrick Mahomes passing yards against the Texans,
Paul kind of low.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm gonna go to twenty nine and a half, alright, Marvin.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Two forty eight and a half.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Todd, Well, I kind of split the difference there to
thirty seven and a half between those two guns.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
All right, Seaton, no connor, I'm gonna this is a
bad guess.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
But to twenty seven and a half.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Two twenty seven and a half is c J. Stroud's over.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Gotta give him love for that.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Patrick Mahomes is two fifty and half. Just some of
the random things here. Yeah, they got Josh Allen two
forty eight and a half, Lamar Jackson to twenty four
and a half. But and Poukinakua they expect him to
have a really good game over under his eighty eight
and a half yards in that matchup. All right? Eight
(10:19):
seven seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com,
twitter handle at DP show once again David Carr from
NFL Network. A little later on, we have the most
must win game of the weekend. Got her play of
the day coming up. Kind of a quiet last couple
of days with the coaching moves. Aaron Rodgers talks about
talking to the Jets, but Vegas has a new team,
(10:43):
a new place that Aaron Rodgers, if he decides to
play next year, that that would be the place that
he would be going to. Paulie, I'll start with you.
Vegas thinks that if Aaron Rodgers plays again, you know what,
let me play. Aaron Rodgers on McAfee's show talking with
the Jets.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I gave some constructive things.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
It's there's so much that goes into the whole thing.
There's there's the food far, there's the locker room, there's travel,
there's hotel stuff, there's different you know, you're just giving
a little constructive things here and there that maybe they
take the heart, maybe they don't. I think everybody understands
that it's going to come down to a GM and
a coach and myself, uh, and whether we all want
(11:26):
to do a dance together, or if it's it's not
in the cards, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight,
down down tonight. Figured that be right?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Set me up so lovely, even though you didn't mean to.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Do you know who saying sings that? Not? Sure casey?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Do you do you want?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
That's not them?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's not them, that's the Bay City Saturday. Wow. Come on,
let's go.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Come on, come on? How can I fail that.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The money, ask questions? Don't mail it in just because
it's Friday. Let's go. I got to pick it up
every day. Is the super Bowl all right?
Speaker 9 (12:18):
Here?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It is Vegas is the place that Vegas thinks that
Aaron Rodgers is going to go. Yeah, the Raiders are
the favorites for Aaron Rodgers. And uh I was a
little bit surprised that, well we brought this up here.
Can you get him to come in as your bridge quarterback?
Would Tom Brady entertain that as the new owner of
(12:42):
the Raiders? Man, unless I thought my team could be
good and and and compete, you know, I mean, you're
in a division where the Broncos, Chargers and Chiefs all
made the playoffs. So is Aaron Rodgers going to help
help me with anything other than attendance. And you're already
(13:04):
a tourist attraction. Now you don't have a home field advantage.
But do I want Aaron Rodgers or do I bring
in somebody else and go, can I get through this
next season and then maybe we start to build this
into a champion again? Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Lifestyle wise, it makes a ton of sense for Aaron Rodgers.
He could live out by pow Rump or Area fifty
one or what do they get a double white out
there would a satellite dish.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
He'd be perfect lifestyle wise. Okay, anybody else have thought?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I thought maybe Pittsburgh, but he just doesn't fit in
with what Pittsburgh's whole philosophy is. I can't see that happening.
I mean, Russ didn't really fit in. I mean he tried,
but I just can't imagine Aaron being on McAfee talking
about whatever he's talking about and then all of a sudden,
(13:55):
Mike Tomlin's got to go to the press conference, say
hey said the following on Pat McAfee. That feels like
that would get really old really quick for Tomlin. Yes,
I think it's got to be someplace that we don't expect.
They were like, hey, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
I don't think it's gonna be one of those Wow,
that makes a lot of sense places at all, Like
it's gonna be like New Orleans or something where you're like, Okay,
yeah I could. It's out of nowhere. Him and DeVante
Adams and two more of his buddies are going to
be like, why don't we just go all land at
the Saints?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Right now feels like it'll be Tennessee or the Raiders
if I was guessing. I have no information on that
other than just what I could see. Maybe one year
with the Raiders, but they're just not ready to win,
So why do I want to do that? Why do
I want to spend that money? It almost feels like
(14:48):
you take a step back before you take two steps forward.
And it doesn't mean he can't play a high I
mean his numbers were really good with the Jets, where
that's where stats are deceiving, where you go, man, all right,
not bad. The thing that I would want to look
at is his fourth quarter numbers, because that's the quarterback
I want, That's what I need. These games are all
decided by seven points or less. What did your quarterback
(15:11):
do when the game was on the line, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Along with your thoughts on the Titans in a winnable
AFC South, Would.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The Colts take a shot with him for a year?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
They were in the playoff picture up until towards the
very end there Week sixteen.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Week seventeen.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Absolutely, absolutely. I mean they do have talent there and
probably had enough talent to win that division. They just
didn't get consistent quarterback play. And Anthony Richardson's not ready,
not ready yet, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
And for the Colts, that's on brand for them. They
brought in what Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan. They'll try
their hand that another veteran quarterback?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Blue?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Bloop bloop blue. We'll take a break when we come back. Yes,
Joe Flacco coming back again?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Checking?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, okay, so he might be coming back? Who knows? Sure?
Why not? Yes?
Speaker 9 (16:01):
Mark?
Speaker 10 (16:02):
Can he win a comeback Player of the Year twice?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Not back to back?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I think Chad Pennington is a two time comeback Player
of the Year winner. But you can't come back twice
because if you came back, you have to revert back
to badness, I think.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
But could something bad happen during that next season that
you came back from and then you won come back player,
come back, back, back back actually yeah, Player of the Year. Yeah,
Steve Stricker, I think won Comeback Player of the Year
twice on the PGA Tour. I think when we come
back a little bit later on this first down, we'll
bring back a portion of the interview I did with
(16:41):
Bob Yuker. That was the last time that we had
him on the show, passing away at the age of ninety.
We'll take a break just getting started. Phone calls, we'll
get to those as well. Settle on our poll question.
We're back after this.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Late in the show yesterday, we found out that Bob
Uker had passed away mister Baseball. He was also mister
Belvedere and famous for those Miller like commercials as well.
He was wonderful. He was fun to be around. He
always made you laugh, and I had an opportunity later
in his life to be able to text with him
on occasion, whenever something happened with the Brewers or in
(18:25):
the off season when he was back in Arizona. I
would just text to check on him. And we wanted
to bring back just a portion of the last interview
that we did. This is back in June of twenty twenty,
and here he is, the great Bob Buker. Hi, Bob,
how are.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
You, Daniel Son? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I'm doing okay. No pressure on you, other than I
wanted to have some fun with baseball and there hasn't
been anything fun with baseball as of late. So how
are you doing. How's your morale?
Speaker 13 (18:56):
I'm doing okay. I'm glad. We're going back to work
and it'll be my sixty to fiftyear overall in baseball,
you know, as a player, if you want to say that,
And of course calling the games here in Milwaukee, I
worked a couple of I worked a couple of seasons
with the Braves with Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson before
(19:17):
Bud brought me back to Bud Saaley brought me back
to Milwaukee. But other than that, I'm hanging around and
I'm waiting to go back to work.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I just saw where your official batting average in your
career was one ninety nine to seven.
Speaker 13 (19:33):
I I you know that. I couldn't. A lot of
my sponsors would be upset if they dropped below two hundred,
because at that time it tied me with another sports
great averaging two hundred better for a ten year period,
and that was Hall of Fame Bower. Don Carter blow
(19:55):
that off.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But were you the mendozaligned before the mendoz A line.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
Bob, Well, yeah, but she's got a job in baseball now.
I think she works for the Mets, doesn't she.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's that's a different Mendoza. Oh okay, and tell me
if this is right. Did you get traded? Did your
baseball career get extended because you were a good clubhouse guy?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (20:22):
Yeah, I mean laundry has got to be done. There's
I mean for a couple of extra bucks a month
I was making, I was making below the minimum, you
know that, and selling other players equipment got me a
couple of months doing laundry. There's a lot of things
that you can do without playing. I actually thought it
(20:43):
was an infringement when they asked me to play a game.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But I thought you got traded to the Cardinals because
you were going to back up McCarver and you might
have had a better arm, but they liked your personality well.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
And I think arm wise, I had one on each side,
which wasn't that time. But yeah, to back up Timmy,
who's remained a great friend. And yeah, of course, you know,
we went a World Series that year when I got
traded to Saint Louis, and I'm not I'm not gonna
(21:17):
say anything. They didn't win one before when I got there.
They something had to be working, right.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He was eighty six at that time. He died at ninety,
but eighty six sharp, even the Jessica Mendoza who worked
for ESPN instead of the Mario Mendoza. The Mendoza line.
But you know he would, he would, I think love
it if we were smiling about this. I mean there's
sadness there, but that's a full life. You're ninety. And
(21:50):
he made people laugh, and he made people laugh in
such an easy, routine, almost normal kind of conversational tone.
It was in a big wind up. You never had
to set him up for anything. He just seemed to
have that ability to just he could laugh at himself.
But I still go back to my favorite Bob Yucker
(22:11):
line when he was asked, you know, how difficult is
it to catch a knuckleball? He said, It's really easy,
you just wait till it stops rolling. It just kind
of epitomized that self deprecating as a catcher, but also
had that fun you could always hear it in his voice. Yes,
Marvin and.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Bob Uker was so great. So the first time I
saw him was the movie Major League. I thought he
was like an actual comic. I had no idea about
his play by play or his baseball background. I didn'ven
realized he was a real baseball guy. I just thought
he was a comic that was the play by play
guy in this movie.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Just a bit outside.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Yeah, you know, I have the same experience as Marvin,
but it was from the sitcom that he did. I
forget what belvitere? Oh is he mister belvide I knew
him from mister Belvidere. I thought he was an actor,
and then you see him in Major League or whatever,
and they're like, oh my gosh, now he's doing play
by play. That's crazy. I had it all backwards, just
based on the reference point.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, he would be on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson,
and he was on probably sixty times, but he just
he was there and he made Johnny laugh. And you
know a lot of times comedians don't laugh at other
comedians now and here's Johnny who had Bob on and
he knew that he was going to crack him up.
(23:28):
And Bob used that platform. You know, he got the
miller like commercial must be in the front row. And
that's the first thing I thought of, is wherever he is.
I hope he's in the front row.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yes, Paulie, I just found an interview and yes, he
was on Johnny Carson's show sixty two times, which that's
a captive audience. Back in the seventies and eighties to
become famous, there was an envy with Johnny Carson, and
he talked about some of his favorite guests and he
compared Bob Ucker to Rodney Dangerfield. Just set him up
and let him go. It's the best kind of guest
for a TV show.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Also, much humor without language, like he's not offending anybody,
he doesn't have to go blue. He just had an
ability to just have something that just made you laugh.
Whether it was a snicker, whether it was a belly
laugh that he had that ability and passing away at
the age of ninety. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha,
(24:23):
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
No, buddy, Happy to meet Friday Boys. Let's go proceed
Group VP, real quick rip Bob Ucker to you guys's point,
absolute legend and Marvin is right. Major League is up
there as one of the best sports movies of all time,
so many great one liners, and still holds up to
(24:49):
this day. And Dan, you asked why some of us
have Chiefs fatigue. I mean, Marvin and I have a
great reason. We've lost to them a couple of times
in this Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Not good, good, Thank you, Buddha. Have a great weekend.
I watched basketball last night because two of my favorite teams,
Cleveland and Oklahoma City, they squared off and Oka see
one by twenty Shay gilgis Alexander Junior the third. He
is having another great season. Now. Oh, by the way,
(25:24):
the Joker is averaging a triple double. I think he's
averaging thirty one, like twelve and ten and it's an
Oh by the way, we've just gotten to that point
where oh yeah, those are nice numbers there. You know,
the take it for granted, triple double with a big
man averaging tennisist per game. But Shay Gilgis he is
(25:47):
averaging over thirty a game. And I'm curious. This would
be the third consecutive season averaging at least thirty points.
So I was curious how many players have averaged at
least thirty for three consecutive years. Bob McAdoo did it,
and that was back in the seventies. That was with
the Buffalo Braves. James Harden has done it. Kareem Abdul
(26:08):
Jabbar did it. Michael Jordan did it six consecutive years.
Oscar he did it from sixty three to sixty seven,
so I think four years in there. Wilt is in there.
But you know, you can take him off the board
because it's just different with him, because he was averaging
(26:29):
thirty seven, thirty eight, fifty forty four, thirty six, thirty four,
thirty five, thirty seven, thirty five. I mean, you know,
just like, wait a minute, what's going on here? Jordan
from eighty six to ninety two, he went thirty seven,
thirty five, thirty two, thirty three, thirty one, thirty and
(26:50):
thirty two, thirty two and a half, and you're scoring thirty.
You're not shooting threes back then. Now Shay gilgis is
now shooting threes at least not known like it's just
if you have to watch a game. And this is
what I would say to all these MVP voters. Make
sure you're watching games, because if you're watching highlights, you're
(27:13):
gonna come away and go, all right, what's the big deal.
It's a mid range jumper. You know you have I
think Anthony Edwards just came out and said, Shay Gilgess
Alexander is unstoppable. It's rare when you have somebody say
that about somebody else and say they're unstoppable. You know,
there are players that I think are You can't stop them,
(27:37):
you can only hope to contain them. But and he
might be one of those guys. It's just he's not
going to make the highlights. He's not and I don't
know if that prevents him from winning the MVP. We
love style points, we love something that go. Yeah, and
I voted for him, like you don't, you know, you
(27:58):
vote for the guy and you're like, really that guy?
And there was a late push last year by analyst
at ESPN. They thought, you know, even Barkley did that.
Shay Gilgis, I guess should have been the MVP. And
I don't have any problems with that. I mean, he
was a really good player for a team that had
a good record. Now with this record, it's really hard
(28:22):
to ignore that. And maybe he wins an MVP. There's
a couple of things that have worked against him. I said,
he's in Oklahoma City. You have to find their games.
They're not probably prominent. Like if you said to any
of these networks, hey, do you want to have the
Lakers on or OKC? I'm going to have the Lakers on.
(28:42):
Plus he was in Los Angeles, but he was with
the Clippers. Plus he was that guy that was kind
of traded thrown in, Hey we want to get Paul George,
Well we can give up this guy. Shay gilgis Alexander.
I think he needs a nickname. I think he needs
one of those that, you know, joke, Greek freak. I
think those things could help a little bit. Yes, Marvin, yeah, he.
Speaker 10 (29:06):
Has SGA, but Paul just pointed out it's just an abbreviation.
Would you club Shah is taken already.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, but I get you know, I would get mixed
up with Sizza s z a good jumper. Yeah, so
I might be thinking Sga as z a, yes, PAULI. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Calling him Sga puts a spotlight on how hard his
name is to say day to day, and that's one
of the reasons he's not easily consumable. Even watching his
game last night, if you're describing as game, it's like
he kind of meanders around the court, finds a spot,
just pops the jumper.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's it. All day. He makes it look easy and
it's not, obviously, but there's a there's a Kawhi Leonard
feel to him that he's not in a hurry. He's
not slow, he's not fast. He has his own tempo,
his own pace. When Kawhi Leonard used to play and
play at a high level, I see that with Shay Gilgers. Now.
(30:03):
I don't know if he's an on ball defender. You know,
Kawhi was a really good two way player. But I'm
watching and will continue to watch, and they don't even
have Cheded Holmgren back. And once you get him, I mean,
then they look like the team to beat they certainly do, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
And the thing is, they've been trying to make him
a star. He was in the skims, the Kim Kardashian line,
he posed in his you know own nearly nude. Well,
he had the what a Girl Wants commercial with the check.
So they've been trying, like there's been a concerted effort
to make this guy a star.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Commercial did him no favors? Now, that wasn't good. I'm
not blaming him, I'm blaming them. Yeah that was where
you go?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Mm man, I don't know. I don't know, but they're trying.
At least they tried. I just don't know if he's
ever going to get you know, like DeMar DeRozan, he's
a really good player, he's just not exciting. So when
you say on Demorto Rosen's average in twenty seven, you go,
I can't I can't remember one basket. And once again,
(31:09):
that's not fair. I remember Adrian Dantley. If you're old
enough to remember Adrian Dantley, he would give you thirty,
but you don't remember any of his points and be like, okay,
ad Marcaguire, hey man, that guy can score Alex English.
You're like a guy I can score. Meanwhile, Alex English
and Dominique Wilkins could average the same number of points.
(31:32):
I would remember Dominique's I didn't remember Alex English's, but
he was just that kind of methodical mid range jumper.
It's like Durant has become a star, but he had
to win to become a star, and I think that
was the important thing. You know, Adrian Dantley didn't win,
Alex English didn't win. If you win titles, then all
(31:55):
of a sudden we look at you differently, and maybe
that would change with shape guilty of Alexander, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And if you look at Kevin Durant, he may not
necessarily have above the rim highlights, but when you watch
him play since day one, it's it's like a guy
that tall shouldn't have those kind of handles, a guy
that tall shouldn't be able to do everything all over
the court.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
He's freakish in that way, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
Yeah, Like when I was maybe a teenager, guys like
Michael red Alley Houston great scores, but they weren't on
Sports Center when you were doing highlights. Guys like stro
Miles Swift and Kenyan Martin. Those guys were all over
sports and there they were more famous than those guys
that were averaging twenty five at night.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Well that's when we thought if you could dunk that,
you know, then you made the highlights or oh did
you see that highlight? And then be like that is
only two points of the game. Stro Miles Swift l issue.
I believe, yes, seton.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Kevin Durant doesn't need highlights because his whole being is
like he just comes with the word unstoppable, and it's
more like if he wanted to, he would score every
time time down the court. And sometimes you're like, why
don't you just do that? Why don't you just do that?
But his whole being is a highlight because you can't
do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
What is Kevin Durant's career high like kid, probably mid fifties,
maybe Keith Once again, I don't think you can guard him. True,
I truly think if he came down and you let
him put up forty five shots, he's he's gonna be
over fifty percent. He's gonna give you sixty points.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yes, PAULI, We're gonna play the Kevin Durant career high
points game.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Quickly. Let me take a break. Oh, let me take
a break. Yeah yeah, stuck in your car. That's gonna
keep you in your car. Absolutely, We'll take a break.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
A good way. Yeah, Marvin, do you got one? You
okay with that? No? That's probably whi Okay, let's play
the Kevin Durant career high point total game. Dan, You're
gonna play the first part.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
You have to guess the points for Kevin Durant and
what team he was on when he did it.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm gonna go sixty one for OKC.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
It was fifty five points was his career high whilst
a Brooklyn Nets. His high with OKC was fifty four.
His high with Golden State was fifty one. So he's
scored fifty plus in three different uniforms. Now for the room,
which team did Kevin Durant score fifty five against?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Here's a hint. It's not a surprise. Yes, Marvin like
the Hawks.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
That's the Hawks.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I knew, Marbara dang Okay, has anybody scored fifty or
more points for three three different franchises? Checking? Yes, Jamal Crawford,
he had fifty for three different teams.
Speaker 15 (38:08):
I think four four. I think so he's a highlight machine. Entertaining,
Yes he is. Didn't you say top ten most entertaining players.
Speaker 10 (38:21):
Let's not start it. I said second tier, all entertaining.
I didn't say he was up there with doctor J
and Dominique and MJ and Lebron and those guys.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Larry Bird the top.
Speaker 10 (38:32):
Ten, second tier, second tier with like white chocolate in
those guys not great?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Was it white chocolate?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
We're not gonna start. We're having a good day.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Jason Okay, Jason Williams underrated highlight reel.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
I don't think he underrated highlight highlight.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Wise, I don't think he. I don't think he's second tier.
Jason Williams white chocolate.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
You can put a first tear if you want.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
But I'm going in with how about his pickup games
that he's still playing in? Now? Have you seen those
pickup games when he's out there with these college kids?
Speaker 10 (39:13):
Look he did He did it behind the back pass
and tossed it off his elbow.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
It was so movie the movie had with against Gary
Payton and the glove. The glove was great, but that
move where he was fake and something and Gary was like, well,
and then he was pretty good, pretty good stuff, all right.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Paul Jamal Crawford had fifty plus points four times in
his career for four different teams, The Knicks, the Sons,
the Warriors, and the Bulls.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Stand the day style day.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
To day, Stana day.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
This is the style of the day. Want to you
buy Panini America, the official trading car of the Dan
Patrick Show. I can't imagine that anybody else's had even
three teams, right, yeah, mar.
Speaker 10 (40:11):
Probably Wilt Chamberlain, was he other Warriors?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
But how many teams did he play on? He played
on the Warriors and the Lakers and the Sixers. Well
they were the Philadelphia Warriors, so they would still be Philadelphia.
He wasn't playing in Golden State. Yes, Paul, we're double
checking this stat.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
But players who've had fifty plus points with three different
teams in their NBA career Will Chamberlain three, Bernard King,
never forget Moses Malone, Dan, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Lebron, James and of course Jamal Crawford. Okay, was Wilt
with the seventy six ers and then also the Warriors,
so they counted that is two different franchise I think,
so we're double checking that. Okay, would you update the
poll results Seaton from the first hour of the program
that flew by.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
I'm surprised that, like James, Harden isn't on that list.
As a dude whould put up points. He's played for
a bunch of teams. I bet he's If he's not
on that list, I bet he's close. Let's see, this
is one of the more oddly specific poll questions we've
ever had. But Texans aside, if the Lions were to
reach the Super Bowl, who should they want to play?
Bill's Chiefs or Ravens? Right now? It is a tie
(41:34):
between the Bills and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Okay, all right, interesting question I'm gonna ask David Carr,
former number one overall pick now NFL Network analyst. He'll
join us. Coming up. Jason Garrett, former Cowboys head coach,
has to have an opinion on Dion and Jerry Jones.
Question mark one hour in the books. Two more to
go in this meet Friday,
