Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I saw this the only team in the league that
is currently favored in every single one of their regular
season games this season, the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Meanwhile,
two teams listed as underdogs in all of their games
this season, You'll get the Carolina Panthers. This other team
(00:29):
is going to be an underdog at least listed so
far in all seventeen regular season games, because there won't
be a postseason for them. If you said the New
England Patriots, you'd be correct. So the Niners. They are
favored in every single one of their regular season games.
The Patriots and Panthers the only two teams listed is
(00:49):
underdogs in all seventeen of their games. More phone calls
coming up make way for Drew Brees newest addition to
the team of investors at Sports Illustrated Tickets, say fan
first ticketing marketplace over fifty million tickets sports, concerts, theater
events everywhere, and you can go to SI tickets dot Com.
(01:09):

on the site. No hidden fees, no surprises at checkout.
Drew Brees the future Hall of Famer joining US. You know,
I want to go back to your rookie season and
you were drafted, You go to the Chargers and you sit.
Were you ready to play your rookie season in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I got in one time during my rookie year.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I actually dog so that you got a concussion in
the second quarter against Kan City Chiefs, and I came
in and.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Play about two and a half quarters.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And man, I had some I probably had some disastrous
moments during that, but I also had some good moments
just too. I didn't know any better and I was
just kind of freewheeling and dealing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Bottom line is this.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I think the best thing that all these rookie quarterbacks
can do is sit for a period of time.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And I don't know if that's a full season part
of this, but.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I do have a formula in my mind for I
think when a qb ends up being ready to play
at the next level, and every guy's going to be
a little bit different, but I think it has to
do with the combination of the experience that they have
leaving college. You know, the type of system that they've
been in college, and then how much time they sit
in the NFL. But yes, I think it's very beneficial
(02:24):
for a guy to sit for a period of time behind.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
A veteran quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But part of the problem is you have these these
franchises that are starved for victories, winning a tradition, like
the Bears, you know, the Commanders, they draft quarterbacks. Patriots
drafted quarterback like the fans want to see them play.
The owner wants to appease the fans. I mean, it's
kind of this tug of war of what's good for
(02:49):
the player, what's good for my fan base here?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, well, I'll give the Bears as an example. You know,
you know, Justin Fields obviously had has an incredible skill set,
and I'm excited to see how Pittsburgh uses him this year.
I would actually envision a situation where it's almost like
a Taysom Hill type package, you know, like we had
(03:14):
a New Orleans where you know, Russell Wilson is your
starting quarterback, Justin Field is getting seven to ten STAPs
a game.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know, how problematic would that be for a defense?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
He can come in and do many things explosively in
the run game of the past game. You know, why
why wouldn't they have started him off that way as
a rookie. Hey, you you're not going to be the starter,
but we're gonna have a package of stuff for you
that just brings you along, that kind of gets your
feet wet and gets you into this without kind of
feeling like you're just throwing the whole thing on his shoulders.
(03:47):
I just think if you look statistically at the guys
who have succeeded when they came in day one as
the starter, it's not very many, especially if they were
in a situation where the job was given to them
versus they really had to go out and earn it.
I think there's something psychological to that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How important is this schedule release to players? How much
did you take note of it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh? Absolutely absolutely, I was to the second. You know,
the minute that would come out.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You immediately start visualizing where you have to go, the
time of year, the teams you have to be. You know,
if you've got a couple of these, you know, back
to back games, if you have a.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Monday night, Hey, short week, and then we got to
go here and play this. Who do we have on
Thursday night? Like, you immediately begin to kind of formulate
your strategy for the season based based on that schedule.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, you are, you're looking at your bye week. How
do you end the season? You're playing a conference opponent,
you know you're going overseas, and you know you're you're
all yeah, it's like you're trying to plan five months.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well yeah, then and then and then you start getting
the text messages from.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Family like we're coming out. You gotta manage all that
stuff too.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was there a team when you go, yes, I can't
like we're playing this team?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Like, do you look forward to playing that team? Who
was that?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think I think immediately you're looking for primetime games, right,
Like you're looking for Sunday night, Morinday night, Thursday night,
right like when America is going to be watching You're
the only game on television. There's a reason that you
guys are going primetime against this opponent. Right, So there's
those you know, you you certainly look at the divisional opponents,
but I feel like that's become a bit more formula,
(05:29):
Like it's you play them in the beginning, and then
you play them at the end, right, and then everything
in between is just you know, whoever, whenever you know,
you start looking at games where you can get some
potential weather like for example, I'm looking at the Saints
this year and it's at Green Bay December twenty third, right,
So immediately in my mind, I'm thinking, here.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We go twenty degrees, it's going to be snowing. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You just you start visualizing what that moment's going to be.
So all those all those factors and variables.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
What kind of welcome reception do you think Sean Payton
gets when the bronc has come to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He's going to get a huge welcome reception until the
game starts, until he starts.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yelling at the rest on the sideline the game starts.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No, it's New Orleans loves Champayton and as they should.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Ever play a game overseas.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
We played two London games, eight against the Chargers and
the seventeen kins the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Do you see the city at all?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know what, those were great trips.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's funny when people ask me, Hey, how'd you like
the London trip? First off, we went over there for
a week. I think some teams now, maybe Jacksonville, just
because of their approximate to London. You know, they've played
a couple of games their year. Now it seems like
they just go over for three days and come back.
But you know, we made it a week long trip.
It's one of those where if you go over there
and you win, it was an awesome trip. If you
(06:54):
ever go over there and mose, you're probably like.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That wasn't very fun. But we won both games. We've
made the most of it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know, there's some jet lag Monday Tuesday, and then
you just kind of get into a routine.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You have some free time, you have.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
A chance to go see the city a little bit
with your teammates, made money. Tuesdays, they have family, come
in with my wife and I, you know, walk around on
Friday kind of after practice just to just kind of
clear my head, get ready for the game, spend some
time with her, and then you know, you get ready
to roll on Sunday and it kind of feels like
an ordinary week, except you walk into a stadium with
fans that have every possible jersey for every possible sport.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And and just cheer at random moments. Yeah, that's uh,
that was pretty much the atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It feels like the NFL is shied away from putting
a franchise in London. Now it feels like let's just
kind of travel the globe and then we'll just have
certain cities that, you know, teams can have a fan
base there in Brazil or in Germany, Jacksonville in London.
So I do you see a team in another country
(08:00):
full time at any point?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, that's a good question. I know they've been talking
about it for a while. I don't. I don't think so.
I think logistically it would be it would be difficult.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
But but obviously playing sport in London at these Munich games,
Mexico City going to.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Brazil this year, right, So I think the you know,
being able.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
To spread and spread the knowledge and the love of
the game, you know, throughout the globe.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think it is probably more of a realistic probability is.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
That you continue to schedule games and some unique places
maybe develop even you know, broader fan bases, you know.
The I think the digital media part of this equation
is is where it can get really really profitable as
well and continue to drive lead revenues.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So to me, that's the more realistic approach.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Tell me what you're doing with Sports illustrated tickets?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, so Sports Illustrated tickets. Obviously, we all know the
Sports Illustrated brand. It's one of them psychotic brands in
all of sports.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I think when I think when I was a kid,
and when most of us were growing up, you know,
that would have been our ultimate goal was to be
on the cover Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I have the great fortunate of being able to do
that a few times. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Sports Illustrated is getting into the ticket business. There's a
Sports Illustrated ticket platform that actually has an NFL partnership,
you know, right alongside take a Master Receipt geek. But
at the end of the day, we feel like we
will do it better and can do it better.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's a transparent process.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
There's nothing worse than as a fan when you go
onto a ticketing website and you see a price and
then by the time you get to the end, there's
this then there's that fee, and now it's twice what
you thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That's not the case for Sports Illustrated Tickets. It's a
very transparent process. We have an NFL partnership.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
We've got two and a half billion dollars or billion
tickets inventory. When it comes to sports, concerts, theater, the
best venues in the entire country. So we wanted to
provide that platf film for fans that experience.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And it's just another vertical that Sports a host Trated
is in that just continues to uh build the iconic brund.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's SI tickets dot Com with zero fees. Yeah, you
have that iconic cover with you after winning the Super
Bowl with your son wearing his headphones.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
How old is he now?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
He's fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's incredible, you know, hard to believe because yeah, I've
got that Sports Illustrated cover in my office, you know,
holding him up and he'll walk in and I'll just
I'll have that moment of reflection every now and then
just say, son, can you can you believe?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You know here we are and you.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Know I'm about to coach you in high school sports,
you know, playing football.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Across and just becoming becoming a young man.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So it's one of my greatest joys in life as
a father is to watch watch my son play, watch
him grow up, be a part of his life. But
really all of our kids, it's kind of a crazy
time for us. We're in the thick of it. Have
seven on set in playoffs on Friday this week and
some lacross playoffs, some baseball playoffs, and it's it's the.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Greatest before I let you go. Any advice for Tom
Brady when he gets in the booth.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, you know what it I think he did it
right by taking a year off. You know, sometimes I wish,
I wish I would have done that. Yeah, I jumped
right into into the booth. I'll tell you what it's uh.
I love broadcasting games, you know it was the preparation
was very much like playing the game. And I think
he and I are wired in a lot of the
(11:32):
same ways. You know, I don't think that's ever gonna
leave us. You know, you just kind of watch the
game different, you see the game different, and then you
can communicate the game different. So I look, I think
he's gonna do a great job. I think he spent
a lot of time studying some of the greats in
the in the business, and you know, we'll we'll see.
But obviously he has a wealth of knowledge and experience
(11:54):
to share.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Great to catch up with you again, Good luck with
the kids, and thanks for joining us. That's Drew Brees
future Hall of Fame. Some good advice there should have
taken a year off, which Brady did. And Brady's still
going to be able to call games even though he
is going to be, I guess a minority owner of
the Raiders. I don't know how many Raider games he's
(12:16):
going to call. I'd be curious about that. I think
people are trying to piece together what his schedule would be.
But he opens up having the Cowboys first game. I
believe that's against the Cleveland Browns. Some more phone calls
in here, let me see Darryl and Nashville.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Hey, Darryl.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Hey Dan, So, I got the movie for the Scotti
Scheffler episode, and I've already got the title for you.
We're just going to call it Shank.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Redemption, okay, instead of Shawshank Redemption. All right, I got it,
Thank you, Daryl. Yeah, Shank Redemption. I think he birdied
his first hole though, of course.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I don't think that he was bothered by too much
there right out of the gate. And I wonder what
the Gallery does though throughout. I thought that they would
give him a big shout out there and kind of
give him a heroes welcome. I don't know if you're
going to get free Scotty T shirts you Robin Orlando,
(13:19):
Hi Rob, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Dan?
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Good morning to you and the guys.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Man.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
First off, you know, nobody can be more appreciative of
this story than the Denver Nuggets this morning. Take the
heat off of that, you know too, You guys did
a great job of just segueing on the fly as
you always do, you know, to to break his story.
And how would you quantify, you know, if Scotty goes
on to win, and obviously he's already doing worse than yesterday,
(13:46):
being he dunked it in from the fairway on one
and the only birdie today, But how would you quantify?
I pep wins this week in comparison to the mental
and routine orientation that somebody has to have to play
at that level.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It might change some guys philosophy, not that you want
to get arrested, but maybe the amount of time I
always found for myself and even talking to former athletes,
the more you think, the worse you do. You get
over a putt, You've done this thousands and thousands of times.
Get your routine, get it done. You go to the
(14:19):
free throw line. Don't the longer you wait, the worse
the result is you stand over your ball. The longer
you wait, the worse it gets. You know, when you
get in the batter's box and you're waiting and waiting
and then all of a sudden, the picture's making you
wait and then you step out and then you get
back in. You need to have that just reaction like
this is what I do and I'm not going to
(14:41):
give this any more thought than I need to.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
But a lot of these golfers.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Show up two and a half hours, three hours before
their round because there's a routine that they go through.
We'll find out when Scott he's done today, what was
that routine because he didn't have time to do much
of anything except for get dressed, grab his and go
out to the range. We will head to the PGA Championship.
(15:05):
We'll check in with really what it's like, what it
was like this morning. We'll talk to a reporter from
a golf channel who was on site, and even reaction
from some of the players.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Have that for you Coming up next.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Hey, it's Ben, host of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.

our weekly auditory journey you're asking, what in God's name

Albert will join us. Final hour of the program. Operator
Tyler's sitting by. Take your phone calls.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The story of the day still a story. Scotty Scheffler
arrested in jail in a jump suit, mugshot, bailed out
and now he's on the golf course. Rex Hoggard, as
the senior writer Golf Channel, kind enough to join us, Rex,
When did you first hear about what happened to Scotty?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
This morning? A little bit after.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
Seven thirty am, which isn't too long after he had
been detained. I spoke with an officer this morning. He
was arrested at seven to twenty eight local time, taking
downtown to Louisville, arraigned on four different charges than probably
the series of them as a second degree assault on
a police officer that is a felony, and then he
was released about eight eight forty eight. I will just
(16:40):
say you asked how he was greeted on the first team,
it was warm.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I would say it's rained.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
This morning was not a whole lot of fans, but
it was a warm greeting.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I was wondering player's reaction when they saw Scotty. What
was that like when he went to the driving range?
Speaker 10 (16:56):
A little surreal for everyone involved, player, Caddy's officials. We
don't have situations like this very often, and certainly not
in golfer in sports, so everything that happened this morning
was out of the ordinary. And to your point, Scotti
Scheffler's really good about departmentalizing things and how he got
the number one in the world, won the Masters, He's
won four of his last five start. This one's going
(17:16):
to be tough, though.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
PGA tour accommodate Scheffler in any way.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Well, it's the PGA of America. I think they've tried to.
They tried to accommodate him in as much as sort
of giving him an opportunity to get here in time,
but there was only so much they could do. Again,
I pointed out that he was taken downtown where he
was arraigned. That's about a forty minute drive, so you
get an idea of how tight that timing was.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Trying to understand though, if this is a road that
was blocked off and really only VIP cars and golfers
officials like, how how do they stop or why don't
they let him go in? I'm just trying to understand
the miscommunication there at the gate.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
Well, it's important to point out so there's really only
one main road in and out of Valhalla. That's the
road that he was traveling on this morning. I think
the issue that came up from what we compete piece
together is there was a fatal car craft this morning
has nothing to do with Scotty Scheffler. That was before
Scotty Schffler arrived and police had actually closed off the road.
Officials with the PGA of America had actually postponed the
start of the championship because of it.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Scotty was coming.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
In early to work out to prepare for his round,
and the way it normally works in situations like this,
and you see it weekend and we go out on
the PGA tour because there normally is traffic around tournaments.
If a player is going to be laid for his
teeth time, usually there is, to your point, some sort
of accommodation and we'll try to create some sort of
escort for him. Go back to the Ryder Cup. Remember
at Madina not too long ago that Roy McElroy actually
(18:45):
got a police escort because he was going to miss
his tea time. So they do try to accommodate that.
Scotty was showing up. He went into sort of the
shoulder of the road to go around the traffic. I
don't know if he didn't hear the police officer's command
to stop, or if he just kept driving. We'll have
to find out that later, but that's when things started
to escalate.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The expectation is Scotty will talk to the media when
his round is over.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
That's the expectation. He actually just posted something on Instagram,
just a quick statement. As you pointed out, he peed
off earlier. PGA of America sent out a release only
on the incident earlier this morning. They have not addressed
the Scottish Shepherd situation.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, but he put out the statement, his lawyer put
out a statement.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Was that a preemptive strike that maybe he doesn't talk
to the media.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm just kind of curious as we're all trying to
piece this together.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
There's a good chance that he doesn't talk to the media. Now,
this was an entirely different circumstances yesterday, but he only
made one stop. He spoke with ESPN after his round yesterday.
Normally had a major championship with the world number one,
he'll make three, four or five different stops after a
round like that. But he wanted to go to the range.
He wanted to work on his game. So he wasn't
in a talkative mood yesterday. I can't imagine that's going
to change today.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Rex, You've been doing a long time.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Have you had anything that competes with this as far
as wait, what just happened?
Speaker 10 (20:07):
I was thinking this morning. I think the last time
I was on this show was when Tiger Woods had
hit a tree outside of his home in Iowath in Orlando.
So yeah, I've had things close, but not like this.
And it was surreal in as much as anyone who
knows Scotty Scheffler knows that he would be the last
person that you would expect to have some sort of
run in with the police. I don't think there's anyone
(20:28):
on the PGA tour that's more kind, more giving, more
accommodating person than Scottie Scheffler. That was probably the part
that shocked me. The most things come up all the time,
and you have incidents with athletes or caddies or even
even folks in the media.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
This one was stunning.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well wait till something bad happens again, Rex, and then
we'll reach out to you.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Thanks Dan, I forgot that. Rex.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That was the last time Vive was on with when
Tiger had his accident. Rex Hoggard, he is the senior
writer Golf Chim. I hope Fritzie tell Rex I was
joking about that.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, it sounded like you wasn't sure.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I know, I know, sorry about that, Rex. Not everybody
gets my sense of humor, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
I just checked the rundown the day after Tiger and
the Thanksgiving thing. Rex Hugary was on the show.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, the Thanksgiving thing thing. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Because you're joking, but it is serious. Yeah right, I'm
only joking. We're only going to reach out. It might
be the next time we talked to him, though not
everybody gets my sense of humor.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Let me see a couple more phone calls in here.
Uh rj in Colorado?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Hey orj.
Speaker 14 (21:41):
Hey, are you with me? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Bud great orj awesome?
Speaker 14 (21:45):
Just wanted to kind of chime in. When we were
inside of that prison for all those years, we used
to always find little pine cones and sticks to try
to play golf. But old Scott, he's taking it to
a whole other level here, trying to play with a
whole new set of irons.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you, Orgie, our prison insider and literally our jay. Yeah, Pauline,
what if he was there?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
Like, I don't have a joke, but what if Scheffler
was there all day and some goes, what are you
in for?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
How do you guess?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
You know?
Speaker 13 (22:12):
I was going into Valhalla and I'll do it again.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let me go into Valhalla. Jim
in Michigan, Hi, Jim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Good morning, Dan?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (22:23):
That's I did just something that was kind of bothering
me when Marvin departed.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
Yeah, will he need it?
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Will he need a doctor's note when he returns on Monday.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, he needed a note today because okay, yeah, because
he had to leave the show to go have his
wisdom teeth.
Speaker 12 (22:42):
Okay, I know if I always departed early on a Friday,
we have to have some kind of a documentation on
Monday that you know, maybe I did.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Go Oh no, no, it's you know, like Fritzy took
last Friday off and I needed a note and he
supplied a note. We run a really tight ship around here.
Patrick and Vermont. Hi, Patrick, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (23:04):
Hey, good morning Dan, Thanks for taking my call again. Hey,
I just wanted to say, you know, when Marvin first
came in, I was a little worried that he wasn't
going to be really terrific. But he's done a phenomenal job.
And that being said, I do have a complaint about him.
I want to know how I'm supposed to start my
weekend right without hearing him singing ever since I was
(23:24):
a tiny boy.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well, he gave us a little bit of that before
he departed. But thank you, Patrick, he's done a great job.
He really has because we weren't sure what he was
going to be like when he sat down in the chair,
but he is. He understood the tone of the show,
he knew everybody here that helped him get a running,
running start there, and he was filling in form c
(23:46):
Lovin and he's done a wonderful John, great job.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
You have a question, pauling.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
I'm a dentist question, and I'm not besmirching dentist at all.
But dentists are doctors? Correct?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Yes, they go to medical school. Yes, I'm just on
double checking. I think that's the truth, right, Yeah, they
go for many years.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
Okay, so just like they are a doctor. Yeah, how
come no one he calls dentist doctor when you walk
into the office.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I did.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Jenny Batschie's dad was a dentist, like calling doc Bachie
you were you were.
Speaker 13 (24:15):
A kid, and you're probably I would.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Still call him that, of course, being respectful.
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Hey doc, Okay, yeah, I rarely hear dentists called doc.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yeah, donc Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Now, people who are chiropractors, people sometimes might not call
them doctors.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
But you don't have to go to medical school to
be a caract No, yes, Ton, But if a dentist
gets a doctor license plate of some sort of I
think they can park wherever they want.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
That's a little stepping over their bounds.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
You're how urgent can a dental situation?
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, is there a dentist in the house?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
That's exactly what doesn't happen?
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Well, which is a more serious level of doctor, like
a pediatrist who deals with feet, or a dentist he'll
deals with teeth and mouth. I mean there's levels of.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Doctors, right, I respect all of them.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh yeah, But because they went to Moore School spent
more time than I did.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
His gums are bleeding. Clear what happened to you today?
I don't even think that's fusure. I need a your
ex user. His gums are bleeding? Is this a Friday fritzee?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
A little bit?
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Final Hour on the Way. You know, the last time
we had Marv Albert on, it didn't go well for you.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
It did not Final Hour on the Way.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 2 (25:36):
With the baseball season in full swing, there's a new
Peacock original DOCU series called Bronx Zoo the Nineties, Crime,
Chaos and Baseball The Yankees nineteen ninety baseball season first
hand accounts of those closest to the team streatment now
only on Peacock. I don't think I was around the Yankees.
(25:58):
I was there in the eighties. I was there when
Billy Martin was there. There was a so I had
juxtaposed this with Don Mattingly was there, who was extremely professional,
just getting started in his career, and then you have
George stein Renner and Billy Martin. The drama that was
going on there. Every time I went to Yankee Stadium.
(26:19):
There was something, always something going on. So the Bronx
Zoo on Peacan Marv Albert will join us, coming up
here in a moment. Let me see Jeff and socou Hi. Jeff,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (26:35):
Born Dan Just driving in Friday traffic. So thanks for calling.
Speaker 16 (26:39):
Yeah, I got a couple of couple quick things for you.
Uh you called back to you know, Todd speech challenges
the other day and just drives home my theory that
the the Lazarus Naturals commercial with you know, content creation
gold on top of the orthodontics about made me spit
taking my car brothers, So thank you for that. I
(27:00):
was hoping maybe for the audience he'd reach out to
Sandman see what he saw, as you know, star power
in Anthony Edwards when he was casting him.
Speaker 15 (27:08):
For Hustle and then on the third see every time
you have Ryan Leaf on your show, man, I call
in to No Avail only the hope to go on
record as the second person you know with a son
named Macguiver. The only difference in my situation is it
was my wife's idea.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Well, well, thank you. Jeff.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Sandler's the one that told me about Anthony Edwards. He's
like Danny. This guy has so much charisma. When we
did the movie Hustle, and then I watched it and
I said to Sandler, I said, that is natural, man,
he has charisma, He has the riz as the kid
saying he was perfect. He was unbelievable. And I said
to Sandman because I didn't know much about Anthony Edwards,
(27:49):
but when I saw him, I just knew his game.
I didn't know his personality, and all of a suddenly
I'm going, wow, this is this kid has so much personality.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
There speaking of which segue.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He's the Hall of Famer former Knicks broadcaster Marv Albert
joining us on the program.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Marv, How's life life is good?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Dad? But I must say retirement has has been has
been great. I do miss the preparation and you know,
the people I work with and we do stay in touch.
But I have missedter Binge TV. So I do a
lot of reading, work out, all those kinds of things.
(28:34):
But all is good. But I've been enjoying the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Also, three years ago today you announced your retirement.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Was it to the day?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I think? I think May seventeen?
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Now do you do any play by play like around
the house, a playground?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Anything?
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Only?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Yeah? Only dinner time?
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah? How often?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Like this strangest way you've been recognized for your voice
is how.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let's see the strangest way, Well, it would usually happen
on a phone if I'm calling for some service or
you know that type of thing, and I don't say
my name and they pick it off. You know, I'm
always amazed by that. But you know, usually I'm not
(29:28):
speaking the same way I would on a game, you know,
so that would be a little crazy. If I were
doing that I was also.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Wondering Scottie Scheffler got arrested this morning going into the
PGA tournament. And the strangest, like you were there when
OJ the Mike Bronco the police chase right ninety four.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I was doing the game. Yeah, I was doing it
and going back and forth with Tom Brokaw, who was
following the car chase and UH, and then I would
throw it to Bob Costas or to UH to Tom.
It was one of the strangest events to cover with that,
(30:13):
you know, with that going on. In fact, it was
at first We're looking across the way and there were
TV screens along the press table at Madison Square Garden,
and you could see people coming down to stand behind
the writers to watch what was what was going on
and UH it was and the players would come over,
(30:36):
you know and check it out during timeouts. So it
was kind of a weird, a weird seeing you know.
OJ Uh was at one time doing sideline for US
for NFL games, and I remember I was working with
Paul McGuire at the time and we would rehearse and Uh, Paul.
(31:00):
All of Paul's comments during the rehearsal were used by
Ojay what he would go on the pregame show.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
So he just took he took Paul Maguire's info.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
No, No, it was Paul's mostly, I must say, the strategy.
You know, we had met with the coaches and met
with players, and Paul would always have great stuff. And
then what we had to do after a couple of
games went by in this fashion, we were actually throwing
the rehearsal. In other words, we made things up.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Just to see if oj was going to use him.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yes, he did a couple of things.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
He did, Yes, But how difficult was it?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
But that's my searing memory of oj you know, working
with us at NBC.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
But how difficult was it?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You're trying to you're broadcasting an NBA Finals game. Meanwhile
you got this going on where Tom Brocawn News, Bob
Constance is involved in this, and then now back to you, Marv.
So just the rhythm of trying to keep that going.
How difficult?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yeah, it was the most unusual. And Dick Epersol, the
president of NBC Sports, was sitting to our left in
the stands, but he had an earpiece so he heard
exactly what was going on, and he was kind of
directing the activity. You know, also set it back to TOMU,
go over to Bob, you know, all this kind of stuff.
(32:29):
And you know, by the way, there's Charles Smith with
the drump guy. You know, it was really the most
unusual situation I.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Have been in on the air talking to the Hall
of Famer Marv Albert, former Knicks broadcaster and the lead
play by play.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Voice the NBA on NBC.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I was also wondering this style, now, how is play
by play style?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Has it changed very much in your opinion.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
In terms of basketball, No, very little, I would have
to say.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
In other sports, perhaps there's more talking. Uh that in
the past. Uh. I watch a lot of baseball and yeah,
I find on TV this is sometimes more talking than
it had been in past years. But I don't think
(33:27):
in basketball it's changed very much.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, I was wondering, I I love silence, like the
use of silence in a building.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yes, uh, I agree.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
And it feels like that's kind of a lost art
that when somebody does it, like we feel like we
got to go wall to wall when we talk, when
we describe the action, when sometimes you just pause, that
makes it even more exciting.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
With with what you're gonna call next.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Well, I totally, I totally agree with that, and you
have to let particularly on you know, radio is different
because you're describing every move that players make or whatever,
you know, whatever's happening. But on TV you can certainly
you have to learn to use the crowd. And you know,
(34:14):
there there are color commentators who you know, really pull back,
which is great. They come at at the right time,
you know. That's why it was a you know, a
pleasure working with people like Steve Kerr, Reggie Reggie Miller.
I don't want to leave people out. Those are, of course,
Mike Pritenno, but and there are some people I won't
(34:39):
name names who talk too much. There's no question, and
you can use the crowd. The crowd is very important,
particularly at times like this, they're in the playoffs, where
the crowds are at another level. I mean, what takes
place at the garden now, I was at I was
at the Philadelphia Nick Series and it was so loud.
(35:00):
And then people talk about when Brunson got hurt and
came out in the second half after going back to
the locker room. They compared it to the Willis Reid
return in nineteen seventy of the championship series against the Lakers,
where he was not supposed to play, came out at
the last minute. And I did that game on radio
(35:20):
in New York, and that was the loudest crowd I'd
never heard about his Square garden. When Willis came out
of the court. The Lakers couldn't believe it. I remember
Chamberlain and West, the whole group just stopped during the war.
They were at the completion of their warm ups and
they just turned and looked toward the area where Willis
(35:44):
was walking out, and they were a guest. I mean,
they couldn't believe he was playing that he comes out.
Of course, it hits the two jump shots, and then
Clyde Walt Frazier just took over and they beat the
Lakers for the championship. But that was the loudest crowd
I've ever heard. Uh who ever anywhere?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
What do you think when you what do you see
when you see this next team?
Speaker 5 (36:09):
I see such a scrappy, surprisingly excellent team that is
hampered by injuries, and that's unfortunately eventually gonna you know,
we're going to see that's going to take its toll
because without well, they're missing Julius Randall, but they've been
able to, you know, survive very well without him because Brunson,
(36:33):
Heart and de Vicenzo have been terrific and Ananobi, who's
out again for tonight's game, has been such a key,
and so has Mitchell Robinson in terms of rebounding. So
they are so hampered, but they're so interesting because despite
all this, they've been able to play extremely well, particularly Brunson.
(36:59):
He amazes made the footwork, the shooting touch so difficult
to guard. How far he's come from his days not
only at Villanova but in Dallas too. But he didn't
get the playing time there. But I don't know how
he made the quick recovery from the previous game. He
could elevate when he had that bad game and came
(37:22):
out and the last game, game five was unbelievable, you know.
But there are so many injuries now. I mean, even
Jamal Murray's taking a lot of criticism, but he is hurt.
I mean that's the read. I mean, Edwards did a
good job on him, but in many Minnesota's a very
good defensive team. But still he's hurt. And the same
(37:45):
as crew of Tyrese Halliburton, who's hurt. You know, it happens.
It's it becomes a different sport in the playoffs because
fowls and a lot of fouls that are called during
the regular season. I'm not I'm not called it's a
more bruising game. It's you know, it's played differently in
the playoffs. And then you have these swings in terms
(38:07):
of the scores which happened before. I mean that's happened before.
You know, one game the team wins by thirty forty fifty, uh,
and then the next game it's like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Well, it's great to talk to you. Do you ever
do you ever shout out yes?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
No, but you know, I'll be uh sometimes walking, you know,
very innocently. Somebody who feel, yes, you know, scares me.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Pizza shows up and you go, yes, yes, yeah, yeah,
uh coffee for Marv.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
Yes, yeah, that's good. You do that very well.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Then, thank you, thank you, Mark, Hey, great to talk
to you, and thanks pleasing. All right, that's the great
Marv Albert called twenty five Star games, thirteen NBA finals,
eight Super Bowls, eight Stanley Cup Finals, the dream Team.
They're run through the nineteen ninety two Olympics. So he's
been a busy, busy man. Great to talk to him. Yeah,
three years ago today. Now it's his retirement, yes, Paul.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
Well, once in a while we have someone on the
show and when they say their first word or two,
it's just like, Oh, it's like a refreshing feel to
hear Marv Albert's voice.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Yeah, it just feels great.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, let's see take a couple of phone calls here.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
How about Kylie in Iowa? Hi, Kylie, Hey DP.
Speaker 17 (39:37):
I wanted to thank you ABS for bringing some some
plum to an awkward procedure I had today. I wore
my I can feel it in my plums T shirt.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Did you will be spending the week?
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Oh? Are you frozen?
Speaker 17 (39:54):
P's Yeah, I'm cradling some peas. It feels like there's
vice scripts down there right now.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
But okay, we'll get through, all right. Kylie having a
little surgery there. You can feel it in his plumbs.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Adam in West Virginia, High, Adam, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (40:15):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 18 (40:15):
Do you think that Scotti Scheffler had any pause into
going back to the tournament, because you know, if he
doesn't win, is it really a good idea. Do you
think he'd like, actually want a mulligan on that or what.
And I'm also going to be in New York in
a couple of weeks to get married, and I know
you're a man of great taste, so I was wondering
if you could tell me a nice restaurant to take
(40:39):
my wife to while I'm there to you know, just
after we get married and everything, just kind of try
some more nice.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Keenes Steakhouse k e e n s Keen Steakhouse in
Midtown if you can get in. If you can get in,
ask for Ira when you get there, see if he's there,
Uh king stickhouse. I don't think Scotti Scheffler gave it
any thought other than I you know, I came here
(41:06):
to win this tournament. In favor, to win this tournament.
History is going to grade my report card by winning
majors and if anything, showing that I'm able to compartmentalize
and go out there and play great golf even after
what happened. So I don't know if he ever wavered
(41:26):
on that thought. I mean, we're going to find out
when his round is over. We'll get a lot more information.
If you're watching on peacock. You want to see grown
men eat, you have an opportunity. We'll have that for you.
Coming up in the look in and last call for
phone calls. What we learned, what's in store right after
this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I saw this the only team in the league that
is currently favored in every single one of their regular
season games this season, the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Meanwhile,
two teams listed as underdogs in all of their games
this season, You'll get the Carolina Panthers. This other team
(00:29):
is going to be an underdog at least listed so
far in all seventeen regular season games, because there won't
be a postseason for them. If you said the New
England Patriots, you'd be correct. So the Niners. They are
favored in every single one of their regular season games.
The Patriots and Panthers the only two teams listed is
(00:49):
underdogs in all seventeen of their games. More phone calls
coming up make way for Drew Brees newest addition to
the team of investors at Sports Illustrated Tickets, say fan

Drew Brees the future Hall of Famer joining US. You know,
I want to go back to your rookie season and
you were drafted, You go to the Chargers and you sit.
Were you ready to play your rookie season in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I got in one time during my rookie year.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I actually dog so that you got a concussion in
the second quarter against Kan City Chiefs, and I came
in and.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Play about two and a half quarters.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And man, I had some I probably had some disastrous
moments during that, but I also had some good moments
just too. I didn't know any better and I was
just kind of freewheeling and dealing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Bottom line is this.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I think the best thing that all these rookie quarterbacks
can do is sit for a period of time.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And I don't know if that's a full season part
of this, but.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I do have a formula in my mind for I
think when a qb ends up being ready to play
at the next level, and every guy's going to be
a little bit different, but I think it has to
do with the combination of the experience that they have
leaving college. You know, the type of system that they've
been in college, and then how much time they sit
in the NFL. But yes, I think it's very beneficial
(02:24):
for a guy to sit for a period of time behind.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
A veteran quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But part of the problem is you have these these
franchises that are starved for victories, winning a tradition, like
the Bears, you know, the Commanders, they draft quarterbacks. Patriots
drafted quarterback like the fans want to see them play.
The owner wants to appease the fans. I mean, it's
kind of this tug of war of what's good for
(02:49):
the player, what's good for my fan base here?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, well, I'll give the Bears as an example. You know,
you know, Justin Fields obviously had has an incredible skill set,
and I'm excited to see how Pittsburgh uses him this year.
I would actually envision a situation where it's almost like
a Taysom Hill type package, you know, like we had
(03:14):
a New Orleans where you know, Russell Wilson is your
starting quarterback, Justin Field is getting seven to ten STAPs
a game.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know, how problematic would that be for a defense?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
He can come in and do many things explosively in
the run game of the past game. You know, why
why wouldn't they have started him off that way as
a rookie. Hey, you you're not going to be the starter,
but we're gonna have a package of stuff for you
that just brings you along, that kind of gets your
feet wet and gets you into this without kind of
feeling like you're just throwing the whole thing on his shoulders.
(03:47):
I just think if you look statistically at the guys
who have succeeded when they came in day one as
the starter, it's not very many, especially if they were
in a situation where the job was given to them
versus they really had to go out and earn it.
I think there's something psychological to that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How important is this schedule release to players? How much
did you take note of it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh? Absolutely absolutely, I was to the second. You know,
the minute that would come out.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You immediately start visualizing where you have to go, the
time of year, the teams you have to be. You know,
if you've got a couple of these, you know, back
to back games, if you have a.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Monday night, Hey, short week, and then we got to
go here and play this. Who do we have on
Thursday night? Like, you immediately begin to kind of formulate
your strategy for the season based based on that schedule.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, you are, you're looking at your bye week. How
do you end the season? You're playing a conference opponent,
you know you're going overseas, and you know you're you're
all yeah, it's like you're trying to plan five months.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well yeah, then and then and then you start getting
the text messages from.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Family like we're coming out. You gotta manage all that
stuff too.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was there a team when you go, yes, I can't
like we're playing this team?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Like, do you look forward to playing that team? Who
was that?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think I think immediately you're looking for primetime games, right,
Like you're looking for Sunday night, Morinday night, Thursday night,
right like when America is going to be watching You're
the only game on television. There's a reason that you
guys are going primetime against this opponent. Right, So there's
those you know, you you certainly look at the divisional opponents,
but I feel like that's become a bit more formula,
(05:29):
Like it's you play them in the beginning, and then
you play them at the end, right, and then everything
in between is just you know, whoever, whenever you know,
you start looking at games where you can get some
potential weather like for example, I'm looking at the Saints
this year and it's at Green Bay December twenty third, right,
So immediately in my mind, I'm thinking, here.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We go twenty degrees, it's going to be snowing. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You just you start visualizing what that moment's going to be.
So all those all those factors and variables.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
What kind of welcome reception do you think Sean Payton
gets when the bronc has come to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He's going to get a huge welcome reception until the
game starts, until he starts.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yelling at the rest on the sideline the game starts.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No, it's New Orleans loves Champayton and as they should.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Ever play a game overseas.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
We played two London games, eight against the Chargers and
the seventeen kins the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Do you see the city at all?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know what, those were great trips.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's funny when people ask me, Hey, how'd you like
the London trip? First off, we went over there for
a week. I think some teams now, maybe Jacksonville, just
because of their approximate to London. You know, they've played
a couple of games their year. Now it seems like
they just go over for three days and come back.
But you know, we made it a week long trip.
It's one of those where if you go over there
and you win, it was an awesome trip. If you
(06:54):
ever go over there and mose, you're probably like.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That wasn't very fun. But we won both games. We've
made the most of it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know, there's some jet lag Monday Tuesday, and then
you just kind of get into a routine.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You have some free time, you have.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
A chance to go see the city a little bit
with your teammates, made money. Tuesdays, they have family, come
in with my wife and I, you know, walk around on
Friday kind of after practice just to just kind of
clear my head, get ready for the game, spend some
time with her, and then you know, you get ready
to roll on Sunday and it kind of feels like
an ordinary week, except you walk into a stadium with
fans that have every possible jersey for every possible sport.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And and just cheer at random moments. Yeah, that's uh,
that was pretty much the atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It feels like the NFL is shied away from putting
a franchise in London. Now it feels like let's just
kind of travel the globe and then we'll just have
certain cities that, you know, teams can have a fan
base there in Brazil or in Germany, Jacksonville in London.
So I do you see a team in another country
(08:00):
full time at any point?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, that's a good question. I know they've been talking
about it for a while. I don't. I don't think so.
I think logistically it would be it would be difficult.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
But but obviously playing sport in London at these Munich games,
Mexico City going to.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Brazil this year, right, So I think the you know,
being able.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
To spread and spread the knowledge and the love of
the game, you know, throughout the globe.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think it is probably more of a realistic probability is.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
That you continue to schedule games and some unique places
maybe develop even you know, broader fan bases, you know.
The I think the digital media part of this equation
is is where it can get really really profitable as
well and continue to drive lead revenues.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So to me, that's the more realistic approach.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Tell me what you're doing with Sports illustrated tickets?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, so Sports Illustrated tickets. Obviously, we all know the
Sports Illustrated brand. It's one of them psychotic brands in
all of sports.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I think when I think when I was a kid,
and when most of us were growing up, you know,
that would have been our ultimate goal was to be
on the cover Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I have the great fortunate of being able to do
that a few times. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Sports Illustrated is getting into the ticket business. There's a
Sports Illustrated ticket platform that actually has an NFL partnership,
you know, right alongside take a Master Receipt geek. But
at the end of the day, we feel like we
will do it better and can do it better.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's a transparent process.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
There's nothing worse than as a fan when you go
onto a ticketing website and you see a price and
then by the time you get to the end, there's
this then there's that fee, and now it's twice what
you thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That's not the case for Sports Illustrated Tickets. It's a
very transparent process. We have an NFL partnership.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
We've got two and a half billion dollars or billion
tickets inventory. When it comes to sports, concerts, theater, the
best venues in the entire country. So we wanted to
provide that platf film for fans that experience.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And it's just another vertical that Sports a host Trated
is in that just continues to uh build the iconic brund.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's SI tickets dot Com with zero fees. Yeah, you
have that iconic cover with you after winning the Super
Bowl with your son wearing his headphones.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
How old is he now?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
He's fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's incredible, you know, hard to believe because yeah, I've
got that Sports Illustrated cover in my office, you know,
holding him up and he'll walk in and I'll just
I'll have that moment of reflection every now and then
just say, son, can you can you believe?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You know here we are and you.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Know I'm about to coach you in high school sports,
you know, playing football.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Across and just becoming becoming a young man.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So it's one of my greatest joys in life as
a father is to watch watch my son play, watch
him grow up, be a part of his life. But
really all of our kids, it's kind of a crazy
time for us. We're in the thick of it. Have
seven on set in playoffs on Friday this week and
some lacross playoffs, some baseball playoffs, and it's it's the.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Greatest before I let you go. Any advice for Tom
Brady when he gets in the booth.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, you know what it I think he did it
right by taking a year off. You know, sometimes I wish,
I wish I would have done that. Yeah, I jumped
right into into the booth. I'll tell you what it's uh.
I love broadcasting games, you know it was the preparation
was very much like playing the game. And I think
he and I are wired in a lot of the
(11:32):
same ways. You know, I don't think that's ever gonna
leave us. You know, you just kind of watch the
game different, you see the game different, and then you
can communicate the game different. So I look, I think
he's gonna do a great job. I think he spent
a lot of time studying some of the greats in
the in the business, and you know, we'll we'll see.
But obviously he has a wealth of knowledge and experience
(11:54):
to share.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Great to catch up with you again, Good luck with
the kids, and thanks for joining us. That's Drew Brees
future Hall of Fame. Some good advice there should have
taken a year off, which Brady did. And Brady's still
going to be able to call games even though he
is going to be, I guess a minority owner of
the Raiders. I don't know how many Raider games he's
(12:16):
going to call. I'd be curious about that. I think
people are trying to piece together what his schedule would be.
But he opens up having the Cowboys first game. I
believe that's against the Cleveland Browns. Some more phone calls
in here, let me see Darryl and Nashville.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Hey, Darryl.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Hey Dan, So, I got the movie for the Scotti
Scheffler episode, and I've already got the title for you.
We're just going to call it Shank.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Redemption, okay, instead of Shawshank Redemption. All right, I got it,
Thank you, Daryl. Yeah, Shank Redemption. I think he birdied
his first hole though, of course.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I don't think that he was bothered by too much
there right out of the gate. And I wonder what
the Gallery does though throughout. I thought that they would
give him a big shout out there and kind of
give him a heroes welcome. I don't know if you're
going to get free Scotty T shirts you Robin Orlando,
(13:19):
Hi Rob, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Dan?
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Good morning to you and the guys.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Man.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
First off, you know, nobody can be more appreciative of
this story than the Denver Nuggets this morning. Take the
heat off of that, you know too, You guys did
a great job of just segueing on the fly as
you always do, you know, to to break his story.
And how would you quantify, you know, if Scotty goes
on to win, and obviously he's already doing worse than yesterday,
(13:46):
being he dunked it in from the fairway on one
and the only birdie today, But how would you quantify?
I pep wins this week in comparison to the mental
and routine orientation that somebody has to have to play
at that level.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It might change some guys philosophy, not that you want
to get arrested, but maybe the amount of time I
always found for myself and even talking to former athletes,
the more you think, the worse you do. You get
over a putt, You've done this thousands and thousands of times.
Get your routine, get it done. You go to the
(14:19):
free throw line. Don't the longer you wait, the worse
the result is you stand over your ball. The longer
you wait, the worse it gets. You know, when you
get in the batter's box and you're waiting and waiting
and then all of a sudden, the picture's making you
wait and then you step out and then you get
back in. You need to have that just reaction like
this is what I do and I'm not going to
(14:41):
give this any more thought than I need to.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
But a lot of these golfers.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Show up two and a half hours, three hours before
their round because there's a routine that they go through.
We'll find out when Scott he's done today, what was
that routine because he didn't have time to do much
of anything except for get dressed, grab his and go
out to the range. We will head to the PGA Championship.
(15:05):
We'll check in with really what it's like, what it
was like this morning. We'll talk to a reporter from
a golf channel who was on site, and even reaction
from some of the players.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Have that for you Coming up next.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Hey, it's Ben, host of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Would mean a lot to have you join us on
our weekly auditory journey you're asking, what in God's name

off of it. Ben Maler show, a cult hit overnights

Speaker 2 (15:47):
We'll get some more phone calls coming up. Great Marv
Albert will join us. Final hour of the program. Operator
Tyler's sitting by. Take your phone calls.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The story of the day still a story. Scotty Scheffler
arrested in jail in a jump suit, mugshot, bailed out
and now he's on the golf course. Rex Hoggard, as
the senior writer Golf Channel, kind enough to join us, Rex,
When did you first hear about what happened to Scotty?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
This morning? A little bit after.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
Seven thirty am, which isn't too long after he had
been detained. I spoke with an officer this morning. He
was arrested at seven to twenty eight local time, taking
downtown to Louisville, arraigned on four different charges than probably
the series of them as a second degree assault on
a police officer that is a felony, and then he
was released about eight eight forty eight. I will just
(16:40):
say you asked how he was greeted on the first team,
it was warm.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I would say it's rained.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
This morning was not a whole lot of fans, but
it was a warm greeting.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I was wondering player's reaction when they saw Scotty. What
was that like when he went to the driving range?
Speaker 10 (16:56):
A little surreal for everyone involved, player, Caddy's officials. We
don't have situations like this very often, and certainly not
in golfer in sports, so everything that happened this morning
was out of the ordinary. And to your point, Scotti
Scheffler's really good about departmentalizing things and how he got
the number one in the world, won the Masters, He's
won four of his last five start. This one's going
(17:16):
to be tough, though.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
PGA tour accommodate Scheffler in any way.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Well, it's the PGA of America. I think they've tried to.
They tried to accommodate him in as much as sort
of giving him an opportunity to get here in time,
but there was only so much they could do. Again,
I pointed out that he was taken downtown where he
was arraigned. That's about a forty minute drive, so you
get an idea of how tight that timing was.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Trying to understand though, if this is a road that
was blocked off and really only VIP cars and golfers
officials like, how how do they stop or why don't
they let him go in? I'm just trying to understand
the miscommunication there at the gate.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
Well, it's important to point out so there's really only
one main road in and out of Valhalla. That's the
road that he was traveling on this morning. I think
the issue that came up from what we compete piece
together is there was a fatal car craft this morning
has nothing to do with Scotty Scheffler. That was before
Scotty Schffler arrived and police had actually closed off the road.
Officials with the PGA of America had actually postponed the
start of the championship because of it.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Scotty was coming.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
In early to work out to prepare for his round,
and the way it normally works in situations like this,
and you see it weekend and we go out on
the PGA tour because there normally is traffic around tournaments.
If a player is going to be laid for his
teeth time, usually there is, to your point, some sort
of accommodation and we'll try to create some sort of
escort for him. Go back to the Ryder Cup. Remember
at Madina not too long ago that Roy McElroy actually
(18:45):
got a police escort because he was going to miss
his tea time. So they do try to accommodate that.
Scotty was showing up. He went into sort of the
shoulder of the road to go around the traffic. I
don't know if he didn't hear the police officer's command
to stop, or if he just kept driving. We'll have
to find out that later, but that's when things started
to escalate.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The expectation is Scotty will talk to the media when
his round is over.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
That's the expectation. He actually just posted something on Instagram,
just a quick statement. As you pointed out, he peed
off earlier. PGA of America sent out a release only
on the incident earlier this morning. They have not addressed
the Scottish Shepherd situation.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, but he put out the statement, his lawyer put
out a statement.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Was that a preemptive strike that maybe he doesn't talk
to the media.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm just kind of curious as we're all trying to
piece this together.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
There's a good chance that he doesn't talk to the media. Now,
this was an entirely different circumstances yesterday, but he only
made one stop. He spoke with ESPN after his round yesterday.
Normally had a major championship with the world number one,
he'll make three, four or five different stops after a
round like that. But he wanted to go to the range.
He wanted to work on his game. So he wasn't
in a talkative mood yesterday. I can't imagine that's going
to change today.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Rex, You've been doing a long time.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Have you had anything that competes with this as far
as wait, what just happened?
Speaker 10 (20:07):
I was thinking this morning. I think the last time
I was on this show was when Tiger Woods had
hit a tree outside of his home in Iowath in Orlando.
So yeah, I've had things close, but not like this.
And it was surreal in as much as anyone who
knows Scotty Scheffler knows that he would be the last
person that you would expect to have some sort of
run in with the police. I don't think there's anyone
(20:28):
on the PGA tour that's more kind, more giving, more
accommodating person than Scottie Scheffler. That was probably the part
that shocked me. The most things come up all the time,
and you have incidents with athletes or caddies or even
even folks in the media.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
This one was stunning.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well wait till something bad happens again, Rex, and then
we'll reach out to you.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Thanks Dan, I forgot that. Rex.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That was the last time Vive was on with when
Tiger had his accident. Rex Hoggard, he is the senior
writer Golf Chim. I hope Fritzie tell Rex I was
joking about that.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, it sounded like you wasn't sure.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I know, I know, sorry about that, Rex. Not everybody
gets my sense of humor, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
I just checked the rundown the day after Tiger and
the Thanksgiving thing. Rex Hugary was on the show.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, the Thanksgiving thing thing. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Because you're joking, but it is serious. Yeah right, I'm
only joking. We're only going to reach out. It might
be the next time we talked to him, though not
everybody gets my sense of humor.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Let me see a couple more phone calls in here.
Uh rj in Colorado?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Hey orj.
Speaker 14 (21:41):
Hey, are you with me? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Bud great orj awesome?
Speaker 14 (21:45):
Just wanted to kind of chime in. When we were
inside of that prison for all those years, we used
to always find little pine cones and sticks to try
to play golf. But old Scott, he's taking it to
a whole other level here, trying to play with a
whole new set of irons.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you, Orgie, our prison insider and literally our jay. Yeah, Pauline,
what if he was there?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
Like, I don't have a joke, but what if Scheffler
was there all day and some goes, what are you
in for?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
How do you guess?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
You know?
Speaker 13 (22:12):
I was going into Valhalla and I'll do it again.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let me go into Valhalla. Jim
in Michigan, Hi, Jim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Good morning, Dan?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (22:23):
That's I did just something that was kind of bothering
me when Marvin departed.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
Yeah, will he need it?
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Will he need a doctor's note when he returns on Monday.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, he needed a note today because okay, yeah, because
he had to leave the show to go have his
wisdom teeth.
Speaker 12 (22:42):
Okay, I know if I always departed early on a Friday,
we have to have some kind of a documentation on
Monday that you know, maybe I did.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Go Oh no, no, it's you know, like Fritzy took
last Friday off and I needed a note and he
supplied a note. We run a really tight ship around here.
Patrick and Vermont. Hi, Patrick, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (23:04):
Hey, good morning Dan, Thanks for taking my call again. Hey,
I just wanted to say, you know, when Marvin first
came in, I was a little worried that he wasn't
going to be really terrific. But he's done a phenomenal job.
And that being said, I do have a complaint about him.
I want to know how I'm supposed to start my
weekend right without hearing him singing ever since I was
(23:24):
a tiny boy.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well, he gave us a little bit of that before
he departed. But thank you, Patrick, he's done a great job.
He really has because we weren't sure what he was
going to be like when he sat down in the chair,
but he is. He understood the tone of the show,
he knew everybody here that helped him get a running,
running start there, and he was filling in form c
(23:46):
Lovin and he's done a wonderful John, great job.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
You have a question, pauling.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
I'm a dentist question, and I'm not besmirching dentist at all.
But dentists are doctors? Correct?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Yes, they go to medical school. Yes, I'm just on
double checking. I think that's the truth, right, Yeah, they
go for many years.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
Okay, so just like they are a doctor. Yeah, how
come no one he calls dentist doctor when you walk
into the office.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I did.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Jenny Batschie's dad was a dentist, like calling doc Bachie
you were you were.
Speaker 13 (24:15):
A kid, and you're probably I would.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Still call him that, of course, being respectful.
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Hey doc, Okay, yeah, I rarely hear dentists called doc.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yeah, donc Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Now, people who are chiropractors, people sometimes might not call
them doctors.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
But you don't have to go to medical school to
be a caract No, yes, Ton, But if a dentist
gets a doctor license plate of some sort of I
think they can park wherever they want.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
That's a little stepping over their bounds.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
You're how urgent can a dental situation?
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, is there a dentist in the house?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
That's exactly what doesn't happen?
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Well, which is a more serious level of doctor, like
a pediatrist who deals with feet, or a dentist he'll
deals with teeth and mouth. I mean there's levels of.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Doctors, right, I respect all of them.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh yeah, But because they went to Moore School spent
more time than I did.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
His gums are bleeding. Clear what happened to you today?
I don't even think that's fusure. I need a your
ex user. His gums are bleeding? Is this a Friday fritzee?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
A little bit?
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Final Hour on the Way. You know, the last time

juxtaposed this with Don Mattingly was there, who was extremely professional,
just getting started in his career, and then you have
George stein Renner and Billy Martin. The drama that was
going on there. Every time I went to Yankee Stadium.
(26:19):

Born Dan Just driving in Friday traffic. So thanks for calling.
Speaker 16 (26:39):
Yeah, I got a couple of couple quick things for you.
Uh you called back to you know, Todd speech challenges
the other day and just drives home my theory that
the the Lazarus Naturals commercial with you know, content creation
gold on top of the orthodontics about made me spit
taking my car brothers, So thank you for that. I
(27:00):
was hoping maybe for the audience he'd reach out to
Sandman see what he saw, as you know, star power
in Anthony Edwards when he was casting him.
Speaker 15 (27:08):
For Hustle and then on the third see every time
you have Ryan Leaf on your show, man, I call
in to No Avail only the hope to go on
record as the second person you know with a son
named Macguiver. The only difference in my situation is it
was my wife's idea.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Well, well, thank you. Jeff.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Sandler's the one that told me about Anthony Edwards. He's
like Danny. This guy has so much charisma. When we
did the movie Hustle, and then I watched it and
I said to Sandler, I said, that is natural, man,
he has charisma, He has the riz as the kid
saying he was perfect. He was unbelievable. And I said
to Sandman because I didn't know much about Anthony Edwards,
(27:49):
but when I saw him, I just knew his game.
I didn't know his personality, and all of a suddenly
I'm going, wow, this is this kid has so much personality.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
There speaking of which segue.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He's the Hall of Famer former Knicks broadcaster Marv Albert
joining us on the program.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Marv, How's life life is good?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Dad? But I must say retirement has has been has
been great. I do miss the preparation and you know,
the people I work with and we do stay in touch.
But I have missedter Binge TV. So I do a
lot of reading, work out, all those kinds of things.
(28:34):
But all is good. But I've been enjoying the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Also, three years ago today you announced your retirement.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Was it to the day?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I think? I think May seventeen?
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Now do you do any play by play like around
the house, a playground?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Anything?
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Only?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Yeah? Only dinner time?
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah? How often?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Like this strangest way you've been recognized for your voice
is how.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let's see the strangest way, Well, it would usually happen
on a phone if I'm calling for some service or
you know that type of thing, and I don't say
my name and they pick it off. You know, I'm
always amazed by that. But you know, usually I'm not
(29:28):
speaking the same way I would on a game, you know,
so that would be a little crazy. If I were
doing that I was also.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Wondering Scottie Scheffler got arrested this morning going into the
PGA tournament. And the strangest, like you were there when
OJ the Mike Bronco the police chase right ninety four.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I was doing the game. Yeah, I was doing it
and going back and forth with Tom Brokaw, who was
following the car chase and UH, and then I would
throw it to Bob Costas or to UH to Tom.
It was one of the strangest events to cover with that,
(30:13):
you know, with that going on. In fact, it was
at first We're looking across the way and there were
TV screens along the press table at Madison Square Garden,
and you could see people coming down to stand behind
the writers to watch what was what was going on
and UH it was and the players would come over,
(30:36):
you know and check it out during timeouts. So it
was kind of a weird, a weird seeing you know.
OJ Uh was at one time doing sideline for US
for NFL games, and I remember I was working with
Paul McGuire at the time and we would rehearse and Uh, Paul.
(31:00):
All of Paul's comments during the rehearsal were used by
Ojay what he would go on the pregame show.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
So he just took he took Paul Maguire's info.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
No, No, it was Paul's mostly, I must say, the strategy.
You know, we had met with the coaches and met
with players, and Paul would always have great stuff. And
then what we had to do after a couple of
games went by in this fashion, we were actually throwing
the rehearsal. In other words, we made things up.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Just to see if oj was going to use him.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yes, he did a couple of things.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
He did, Yes, But how difficult was it?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
But that's my searing memory of oj you know, working
with us at NBC.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
But how difficult was it?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You're trying to you're broadcasting an NBA Finals game. Meanwhile
you got this going on where Tom Brocawn News, Bob
Constance is involved in this, and then now back to you, Marv.
So just the rhythm of trying to keep that going.
How difficult?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yeah, it was the most unusual. And Dick Epersol, the
president of NBC Sports, was sitting to our left in
the stands, but he had an earpiece so he heard
exactly what was going on, and he was kind of
directing the activity. You know, also set it back to TOMU,
go over to Bob, you know, all this kind of stuff.
(32:29):
And you know, by the way, there's Charles Smith with
the drump guy. You know, it was really the most
unusual situation I.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Have been in on the air talking to the Hall
of Famer Marv Albert, former Knicks broadcaster and the lead
play by play.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Voice the NBA on NBC.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I was also wondering this style, now, how is play
by play style?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Has it changed very much in your opinion.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
In terms of basketball, No, very little, I would have
to say.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
In other sports, perhaps there's more talking. Uh that in
the past. Uh. I watch a lot of baseball and yeah,
I find on TV this is sometimes more talking than
it had been in past years. But I don't think
(33:27):
in basketball it's changed very much.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, I was wondering, I I love silence, like the
use of silence in a building.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yes, uh, I agree.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
And it feels like that's kind of a lost art
that when somebody does it, like we feel like we
got to go wall to wall when we talk, when
we describe the action, when sometimes you just pause, that
makes it even more exciting.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
With with what you're gonna call next.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Well, I totally, I totally agree with that, and you
have to let particularly on you know, radio is different
because you're describing every move that players make or whatever,
you know, whatever's happening. But on TV you can certainly
you have to learn to use the crowd. And you know,
(34:14):
there there are color commentators who you know, really pull back,
which is great. They come at at the right time,
you know. That's why it was a you know, a
pleasure working with people like Steve Kerr, Reggie Reggie Miller.
I don't want to leave people out. Those are, of course,
Mike Pritenno, but and there are some people I won't
(34:39):
name names who talk too much. There's no question, and
you can use the crowd. The crowd is very important,
particularly at times like this, they're in the playoffs, where
the crowds are at another level. I mean, what takes
place at the garden now, I was at I was
at the Philadelphia Nick Series and it was so loud.
(35:00):
And then people talk about when Brunson got hurt and
came out in the second half after going back to
the locker room. They compared it to the Willis Reid
return in nineteen seventy of the championship series against the Lakers,
where he was not supposed to play, came out at
the last minute. And I did that game on radio
(35:20):
in New York, and that was the loudest crowd I'd
never heard about his Square garden. When Willis came out
of the court. The Lakers couldn't believe it. I remember
Chamberlain and West, the whole group just stopped during the war.
They were at the completion of their warm ups and
they just turned and looked toward the area where Willis
(35:44):
was walking out, and they were a guest. I mean,
they couldn't believe he was playing that he comes out.
Of course, it hits the two jump shots, and then
Clyde Walt Frazier just took over and they beat the
Lakers for the championship. But that was the loudest crowd
I've ever heard. Uh who ever anywhere?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
What do you think when you what do you see
when you see this next team?
Speaker 5 (36:09):
I see such a scrappy, surprisingly excellent team that is
hampered by injuries, and that's unfortunately eventually gonna you know,
we're going to see that's going to take its toll
because without well, they're missing Julius Randall, but they've been
able to, you know, survive very well without him because Brunson,
(36:33):
Heart and de Vicenzo have been terrific and Ananobi, who's
out again for tonight's game, has been such a key,
and so has Mitchell Robinson in terms of rebounding. So
they are so hampered, but they're so interesting because despite
all this, they've been able to play extremely well, particularly Brunson.
(36:59):
He amazes made the footwork, the shooting touch so difficult
to guard. How far he's come from his days not
only at Villanova but in Dallas too. But he didn't
get the playing time there. But I don't know how
he made the quick recovery from the previous game. He
could elevate when he had that bad game and came
(37:22):
out and the last game, game five was unbelievable, you know.
But there are so many injuries now. I mean, even
Jamal Murray's taking a lot of criticism, but he is hurt.
I mean that's the read. I mean, Edwards did a
good job on him, but in many Minnesota's a very
good defensive team. But still he's hurt. And the same
(37:45):
as crew of Tyrese Halliburton, who's hurt. You know, it happens.
It's it becomes a different sport in the playoffs because
fowls and a lot of fouls that are called during
the regular season. I'm not I'm not called it's a
more bruising game. It's you know, it's played differently in
the playoffs. And then you have these swings in terms
(38:07):
of the scores which happened before. I mean that's happened before.
You know, one game the team wins by thirty forty fifty, uh,
and then the next game it's like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Well, it's great to talk to you. Do you ever
do you ever shout out yes?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
No, but you know, I'll be uh sometimes walking, you know,
very innocently. Somebody who feel, yes, you know, scares me.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Pizza shows up and you go, yes, yes, yeah, yeah,
uh coffee for Marv.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
Yes, yeah, that's good. You do that very well.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Then, thank you, thank you, Mark, Hey, great to talk
to you, and thanks pleasing. All right, that's the great
Marv Albert called twenty five Star games, thirteen NBA finals,
eight Super Bowls, eight Stanley Cup Finals, the dream Team.
They're run through the nineteen ninety two Olympics. So he's
been a busy, busy man. Great to talk to him. Yeah,
three years ago today. Now it's his retirement, yes, Paul.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
Well, once in a while we have someone on the
show and when they say their first word or two,
it's just like, Oh, it's like a refreshing feel to
hear Marv Albert's voice.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Yeah, it just feels great.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, let's see take a couple of phone calls here.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
How about Kylie in Iowa? Hi, Kylie, Hey DP.
Speaker 17 (39:37):
I wanted to thank you ABS for bringing some some
plum to an awkward procedure I had today. I wore
my I can feel it in my plums T shirt.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Did you will be spending the week?
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Oh? Are you frozen?
Speaker 17 (39:54):
P's Yeah, I'm cradling some peas. It feels like there's
vice scripts down there right now.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
But okay, we'll get through, all right. Kylie having a
little surgery there. You can feel it in his plumbs.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Adam in West Virginia, High, Adam, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (40:15):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 18 (40:15):
Do you think that Scotti Scheffler had any pause into
going back to the tournament, because you know, if he
doesn't win, is it really a good idea. Do you
think he'd like, actually want a mulligan on that or what.
And I'm also going to be in New York in
a couple of weeks to get married, and I know
you're a man of great taste, so I was wondering
if you could tell me a nice restaurant to take
(40:39):
my wife to while I'm there to you know, just
after we get married and everything, just kind of try
some more nice.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Keenes Steakhouse k e e n s Keen Steakhouse in
Midtown if you can get in. If you can get in,
ask for Ira when you get there, see if he's there,
Uh king stickhouse. I don't think Scotti Scheffler gave it
any thought other than I you know, I came here
(41:06):
to win this tournament. In favor, to win this tournament.
History is going to grade my report card by winning
majors and if anything, showing that I'm able to compartmentalize
and go out there and play great golf even after
what happened. So I don't know if he ever wavered
(41:26):
on that thought. I mean, we're going to find out
when his round is over. We'll get a lot more information.
If you're watching on peacock. You want to see grown
men eat, you have an opportunity. We'll have that for you.
Coming up in the look in and last call for
phone calls. What we learned, what's in store right after
this

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
