Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We put our pants on the same way you do.
It's a Friday. It's a meat Friday. Yes see.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I think there are a lot of people this morning
who put their pants on and thought of us immediately
this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, because I use my Lou Holtz impersonation. They put
your pants on the same way we do. And so
I waited a day after the passing of Lou Holtz.
But then we started talking about how do you put
your pants on in the morning, and lo and behold,
it's either left leg first or right leg first. Paul
Y both legs jumping in fritzy somehow brought up folkrum.
(00:43):
Who knew? You know, we build up this great morale
the last week and a half or so, and it's
all gone to hell. Yeah, Meet Friday has really divided
the building. Yeah, there is some overt tension. Dylan has
(01:05):
been prepping for days and he said, hey, I was
gonna have some Indian food. I said, well, just make
sure there's some meat in there. It's a meat Friday.
And so he said, okay. He was prepping yesterday afternoon,
he was prepping this morning. I come in and I
hear from a couple of backroom guys, I'm not eating that.
I go, well, you don't have to, but let's try it.
(01:28):
Let's be open minded. We have buttered chicken, lamb tica, masala, garlic,
Nan and Rice. Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Pretty much? Everyone?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Who is the most concerned of the danetes?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm going to guess this might not agree with you.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I'm very concerned about the menu.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
I don't know if I'm gonna like it, and I
don't know what's gonna happen after eating it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, but you've had Indian food before. I tried a
little bit yesterday.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
I had like, what like two little teeny pieces of
some kind of chicken curry thing that I put on
a piece of bagel.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But before yesterday, I've never had an Indiana Okay.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
Yes, Todd is not adventurous in anything in life and
food especially. I'm surprised, living in Brooklyn he hadn't had
Indian food before. It's an eclectic area.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
I don't know why we can't just have hot dogs
and hamburgers and pizza and meatball subs and called meat.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Forridder's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, yeah, I mean that
that's your food, my wheel, have your food wings.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
There's a million things I would eat ahead of that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Anybody else concerned in here, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Know concerned is the right word. I'm I've tried Indian
food many, many times. My wife and my son love it.
They absolutely love it, and I've tried. I've gone out
with them many times. I've gone out with our friends
who are Indian to their favorite Indian restaurants and eating
food with them. And when I travel that it's when
my wife and son go get Indian food. All Right,
(03:02):
It's just not my thing. I just it's not my
flavor profile.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well, we have to overcome this. I've tried
it many times, though. I really have this on the
heels of a team building lunch. And now all of
a sudden, this is a team disbuilding or dismantling. Something
has gone on, something's gone wrong off the rails. But
you know what, in my family, with my wife and kids,
(03:30):
you got a gold star if you tried something, and
of course I aspired to get a gold star. The
kids would be like, do I get a gold store
for that? They'd be like five years old, do I
get a gold star, Yes you do, Okay, I'll try it.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Did you guys do a clean plate club by any chance?
Speaker 10 (03:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's big in our house.
Speaker 2 (03:48):

of the Day, all of that forthcoming stat of the
Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
cards of the program. Good morning, if you're watching on
Peacock or NBC Sports Network or are radio affiliates around
the country. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio Seat and we'll have
a poll question coming up. If you haven't seen him,
(04:31):
please do. Victor Wembenyama coming to an arena near you.
He had thirty eight, sixteen and five blocks and the
Spurs beat the Pistons. San Antonio Is won thirteen of
its last fourteen and Wemby is the first NBA player
with thirty eight sixteen five blocks in the game since
Joel Embiid in twenty twenty two, and well the first
(04:55):
Spur to do it since David Robinson in nineteen ninety
no turnovers as well. He is a very, very fluid player.
(05:20):
It's not like your big guy can be a little
bit clumsy. He's got a great handle and great hands.
I mean, so does Joker. You know, these big men
have evolved that you want the ball in their hands.
They're not afraid to put it on the floor. They're
good passers. But I don't know who's going to win
the MVP this year, but Wemby's going to win it
(05:41):
the following year. Joker, to me, is the best player
in the game. SGA is the best player on the
best team. But man, you know, objects in your rear
view mirror appear closer. No, no, this object in your
rear view mirror is closer because Wemby is changing the game. Yes, Pauling,
(06:02):
he can't win it this year. I don't think he
could steal it unless Joker doesn't play in the required
sixty five games and or SGA. But after that, I
know people are going to talk about Kay Cunningham and
Jalen Brunson really really good players. They're they're not Victor
wembin Yama. Now that doesn't mean that, you know, somebody
(06:23):
like that couldn't come in and steal the MVP. And
this would be the first year that this could happen
because you have to have at least sixty five games,
so you might get some you know, Jaylen Brown with Boston,
you might get somebody who wins the MVP because somebody
or somebody's lost the MVP. But watching Victor wemben Yama,
(06:45):
he had to put back dunk where he had to look,
he had to look out for the rim. He he
leaned back so as his head wouldn't hit the rim.
But fascinating, you know. And oh, by the way, Joker
at a triple double last night beating the Lakers. I
don't know why I keep watching the Lakers and going
there's going to be a different outcome here, because that
(07:07):
Denver roster is not a great roster. It's not. But
I'm watching the Lakers and they're top heavy. And Luca
got another technical here, and we're going to talk to
Jim Jackson a great analyst. It just feels like the
NBA is turning on Luca right now. Like we saw
glimpses of him complaining before not playing defense, but he
(07:30):
was such a magnificent offensive player. Well, now the Lakers
they're on all the time, They're being discussed all the time.
People weren't discussing the Dallas Mavericks all the time with Luca.
Now everybody knows, Hey, you got to play the ratings game,
you got to get clicks, you got to talk about
the Lakers. Well, if you're talking about the Lakers, what
(07:51):
are the positives? Okay, Lebron has more field goals made
than anybody in the history of the game, passing Kareem
abdul Jabbar. Okay, now what do we talk about. Here's
another technical he's been complaining, whining. But more people are
seeing this, therefore more people talking about this. And then
it just feels like and Kendrick Perkins, who I know
(08:15):
is looking for clicks. But you know, even Draymond Green
they said, you know, maybe Nico Harrison was correct in
his assessment of Luca. Now I don't buy into that,
because you still got a generational talent. As a score
and a guy who can give you a triple double,
very good passer. He doesn't play defense and he winds, Okay,
(08:35):
we all know that, but what he does on the
offensive end. You can't give up Luca for Anthony Davis. Okay.
So he could be right about Luca, but you got
to get more than what you got. So you can
tell me, boy, he's smart to get rid of Luca,
but he wasn't smart getting Anthony Davis. He can't have
it both ways there. But you're watching Luca. Every call
(09:02):
can't be against you, like sometimes they might get a call,
right and you're a star, you get more calls than
other players do, and you're just watching and you're going,
you're selfish, You're making this all about you. You don't
get the call, get back on defense, don't sit there
and whine. And if I'm a ref am, I going
(09:26):
to acquiesce to you because you're complaining all the time. Now,
I think coaches get away with this, you know, far
more than players do. But the great players they did wine,
They did complain all the time, and it felt like
they would get extra calls in this situation. Like if
Draymond Green was you know, complaining, I'd go, Draymond, shut up,
(09:47):
you get another technical. Okay, we're not doing this, Luke,
I'd say the same thing. Get up, You're better than this.
Play the game. Yeah, it's like, hey, oh, how can
you not call that? I get it. Shaq could have
complained every single time down the floor, every single time
(10:09):
he was going to get found. But they can't call
foul on every play. But Luca has got to understand
be a teammate here, not an individual. And it feels
like every time down the floor it's some referendum on
him not getting calls. But Denver ends up with the win.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yes, Marvin May, you see so many times when it's
a four or five because Lucas already back there. Look,
they're not going to change the call just because you're complaining.
You got to get back on defense. And it's the NBA.
An open three pointer that's a practice shot to these guys.
And so the lack of defense is because you're not
even back there playing defense because you're arguing with.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
The ref Lebron had sixteen and with seven field goals made,
he passed Kareem for the most made field goals in
NBA history All right, we'll come up with the poll
question and we got our play of the day coming up.
Your phone was always welcome on this controversial meet Friday
eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick
(11:07):
dot com, Twitter handle a DP show coming up. I
want to talk about Jason Tatum. And when I was
at the Super Bowl, I ran into somebody who has
always been a great source with the Celtics, and I
just said, Hey, what are you thinking with Tatum? He said, well,
I'm hearing from this person that Tatum will be back
(11:28):
at the end of the month. I said, man, is
that quick? So I did come on the air because
I trust both of these sources that he was going
to come back at the end of the month. Well,
I'm a week off because he's going to be coming
back tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. But I'm going to
bring back what Reggie Miller had to say earlier this
week and listen to what he had to say about
(11:52):
Jason Tatum, the surgery and being able to come back
this quickly.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
To answer your question, and you and I have kind
of talked about this when he should be back. I'm
hearing as early as Friday that he's thinking about coming back.
I believe they do play Dallas at home. I'm from
the thinking I would like to see him come back
in the playoffs, when people's like, well, he needs games
under his belt. This will be a decision that he
(12:20):
has to make. I think it's a foregone conclusion that
he is coming back this year. I'm a little surprised,
but I think he's been doing this, working so hard
for his mental and I think he's ahead of schedule.
I don't know if you've watched any of that five
part documentary of you know, the quiet part of them
(12:42):
following him around, the best thing, if there was knock
on wood, the best thing. When he tore his achilles
in Game five, I believe in New York that the
doctor was right there, that they attached it right away,
and the thinking was the body didn't even know that
it had that traumatic experience. That's how quickly, within twenty
(13:03):
four hours they had the surgery on the achilles. So
that's why he is so far ahead a schedule versus
a Damian Lillard or Tyrese Halliburton is because they had
the surgery within twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He gets injured in New York and it just so
happens that this specialist had an opening on his calendar
the next day at three o'clock and he performed the
surgery less than twenty four hours later. But if you look,
Klay Thompson was out from November of twenty twenty to
January of twenty twenty two, Kevin Durant June of twenty
(13:40):
nineteen to December of twenty twenty, Tyrese Haliburton June of
twenty twenty five, he's still out. And here's Jason Tatum
injured in May and now coming back at the beginning
of March. Pretty remarkable because Achilles surgery that seemed like
that was the end of your career. We've made so
(14:00):
much progress in medicine with surgeries with athletes, certainly with knees,
with acls, even Tommy John, but the Achilles that was
always the man. The Achilles going to be at least
a year to come back. Now making great strides here,
no pun intended, but Jason Tatum will be minutes restriction
(14:21):
coming up tonight, and the Celtics have been preparing for this,
putting Peyton Pritchard on the bench and having him come
off as their sixth band to get ready for Tatum.
Now I would do it the other way. I'd have
Tatum come off the bench. I don't want We're not
winning the title in March. We could lose the title
in March if I over extend Jason Tatum because I
(14:42):
do think the Celtics of the team to beat in
the East. All Right, football news, more news coming up
next week. We will try to foreshadow what that could
look like. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network will join us

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Shuttle on a poll question more phone calls coming up.
The NFL is omnipresent, as is Ian Rappaport, NFL Network
insider and free Agent Frenzy. This is where you know,
when you have a storm, like you have to label
the storm. We got a free agent Frenzy comeing up
Monday through Wednesday, starting at ten am Eastern on NFL Network.
(16:04):
Thanks for joining us Ian give me the Bills side
of the trade yesterday. Their strategy.
Speaker 12 (16:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think for the Bills it's fairly simple.
They have been trying for more than a year to
acquire a big time playmaker for Josh Allen and you
needed someone you knew was going to come in contribute
right away and you know, be the kind of difference maker.
I think it's fair to say that the offense is
probably needed. You know, remember at the trade deadline, the
Buffalo Bills were in.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
It for Jalen Waddle, right.
Speaker 12 (16:33):
Didn't end up doing it because I think the Dolphins
were like, we don't want Jalen model to beat us
twice a year, makes sense, So didn't end up getting
that deal done. And you know, I think the Bills
were in on the AJ Brown deal and said, you
know what, this one makes sense for us, and the
fact that DJ Moore at two of his best seasons
with Joe Brady when the two were in Carolina probably
(16:53):
made this fit a little easier. So Dj Moore goes
to the Bills, and I think, if you're the Bears,
you know, I like what they did. Compensation wise, it's
basically the value of a you know, third round pick
three slash four, but they gave up a five and
got a two.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
That's a really good way to do it for Chicago.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And they'll try to replace him. I get a guest
with that draft pick or draft picks, but then now
you got to replace your center as well. Yeah, with
the Chicago Bears. How surprising was that for you?
Speaker 12 (17:24):
You know, Dolman had been I would say, contemplating this
for the last several weeks.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
So I think it caught you know, the public by surprise.
Chicago has really known.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
In fact, you know, one of the ways I found
out about it was Tyler Biattis, who actually is signing
a three or thirty million dollar deal with the Chargers.
You know, he was planning to visit Chicago, and you're
sort of like, well, why would be oddist be planning
to visit Chicago. He played center, they have a center,
and then you sort of realize, like, what's been going on.
You know, it's tough to know what goes on inside
(17:56):
someone's head. But what I would say is, if at
some point, first of all, you've made enough money, second
of all, you decide you're not fully in this, you
should definitely not play because football is not something that
you can sort of do halfway. So you know, he
I think he gave up a total of fourteen million dollars,
including repaying some of the signing bonus, so capwise end
(18:18):
up being not bad for Chicago.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
The Rams Chiefs trade, you don't normally get blockbusters like
that in early March. How surprised were you and how
would you grade this?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (18:29):
I mean, fascinating trade and made for a unbelievable talk
about Frenzy, made for an unbelievable frenzied several hours as
I tried to nail this down and figure out what
rumors were true. And you know, it's fun when these
things happened because the principles involved in the deal, everybody
goes silence. So that's kind of what happened here is
you know, there's probably ten people I can call on
(18:51):
all sides of this, and for two hours, no one
said a word, and you're like, either I'm crazy, possible,
or this deal is definitely only happening. It turned out
this deal was happening. It was very fun to hit
send on that one. So, you know, I would say
for the Rams, the interesting sort of rumor or whatever
you want to call it that I heard on the Rams.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
I know they have a lot of their players that are.
Speaker 12 (19:14):
Up now, Pouka Nakua, Kobe Turner, a lot of really
good players. What I was told was they want to
get those guys done. That's important, but they're going to
spend regardless.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
They believe.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
You know, look, we don't know if it's Matt Stafford's
last year, but it might be. They believe they have
a window and they want to take advantage of it.
So I was thinking in my head, like, all right,
the Rams are gonna load it for something. Trent McDuffie
makes sense. I knew the Chiefs really like him but
were never able to get to a contract for him.
So whenever the contract gets done with the Rams will
likely be the highest paid corner and for the Chiefs,
(19:45):
same thing they did with the Tyreek Hill deal. Got
a great player, get draft pick compensation, rebuild a part
of our team with these draft picks, and keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
What's Pokin Nakua going to get.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
A lot of money? A lot of money?
Speaker 12 (20:01):
You know, I would you know, I would think they'll
take a look at it this offseason, whether it's this offseason,
next offseason. I mean, you know, he and JSN are
both in the category of like, whenever they get paid,
it's going to be a lot, So you know, will
they be the highest paid receiver?
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Maybe?
Speaker 12 (20:18):
But either way, you're talking something in the thirties for
super super productive pass catchers.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I'm wondering who goes first there, because somebody's gonna
set the market between those two. And then yeah, I
don't know, if you know, Puka comes in after js
in and goes, I'm better than him. I want thirty
thirty six million dollars a year.
Speaker 12 (20:40):
Well, you know, I would say generally what happens is
if a guy's going to take a deal after he
knows that he's probably gonna get a little more. And
if you're the guy that goes first, you know, if
you have a good agent, and both these guys have
really good agents. They will say, you're gonna do this deal.
It's the right time, it's the right deal for you. Like,
negotiations happen when they happen, So sometimes they end in April,
(21:01):
sometimes they end in June. Whenever they end, the agent's
gonna tell them like, look, you're probably gonna get jumped,
like that's the way this works. But you do the
right deal for you, and if someone comes in a
little above you, that is okay.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Talking to Ian Rappaport NFL Network Insider their free agency
coverage Monday through Wednesday next week, starting at ten am Eastern,
try to understand the Patriots. Can I connect the dots
that Stefan Diggs released and then AJ Brown is certainly
a possibility there.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
They are connected, but not fully connected.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Like the Patriots releasing Stefan Diggs was a decision made
not to say, like, we're only going to do this
if we get AJ Brown. You know, My sense is
it was sort of like the Patriots have done the
last twenty years, which is, you know, cut a player
loose a little before it becomes a thing, right Like,
so we rather do it a year earlier than a
year late.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Diggs was awesome for them, a great signing.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
You know, had the off the field issues, which you know,
we'll see which way those go are kind of what
the fallout from that is. But obviously something as an
organization they heard about and dealt.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
With before the Super Bowl. He's thirty three years old.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
They decided cut bait there, say it was a great
season and and kind of move on.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
And then you know they're in it for a j. Brown.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
I get the sense it's real. I know there are
other teams too, and then if you're the Eagles, you know,
it's like I was joking around with someone. I was like, oh,
is it you know, trade or bust. It's like, it's
not trade or bust. It's trade or the Eagles because
that is a good situation too, and he's one of
their best players. So I think a trade could happen,
but I'm not gonna say like it's definitely definitely happening,
(22:46):
and I'm not gonna say it's definitely definitely happening to
the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What do you expect this weekend early next week?
Speaker 12 (22:54):
A lot of tweets, a lot of tweets, a lot
of phone calls, a lot of tweets. I think, you
know what generally happens is the trades happen kind of
early because teams would like to know going into the week,
like what do we have right like, so I would
say today and tomorrow, maybe into Sunday morning. You'll probably
get some more trades as teams clear space, as they
(23:17):
you know, get rid of some veterans, as they collect
draft picks, those sorts of things, and then you know,
we'll probably still see some trades during free agency frenzy,
but usually it's more just like very very quickly, a
lot of players get a lot of money, and I
expect it to be very quick.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is the NFL still a copycat league?
Speaker 12 (23:37):
As far as one team does one thing, another team says,
all right, that's a good idea, we should.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Do the same.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Like the Rams with what they do with their draft
picks that they go all in. Nine out of the
last ten years they've traded their first round pick. So
I don't I don't know if they like are they
the model of consistency that people would look at and
say we would like to emulate.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
No, I think the Rams have been different because they've
been in the window for so long. I mean they've
they've been to several Super Bowls, they've won one. I
think the difference with the Rams and like, you know,
not everyone else, but how many teams have really been
in the championship window for the for the last decade, right,
I mean, Chiefs have, Ravens have, not a there's some others,
(24:23):
but there's not you know, there's not a ton. So
when they've been in their window, they've said, you know what,
let's just let's just get this really good player. And
I think one thing the Rams like is they will
say we'll give up, you know, the thirtieth or twenty ninth,
whatever pick it is, because I think twenty nine, we'll
give that up and know that we are getting a
(24:45):
great player rather than the sixty percent chance of getting
a great player with that draft pick. Like they'll take
the certainty rather than the uncertainty. Some teams don't want that.
Some teams will say, I'll take the lottery ticket.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You know.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
It's like if I say to you, I'm to give
you fifty dollars or a lottery ticket, like you'd probably
be split on.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
How many people would take each. So I don't think
it's a copycat league.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
I just think the Rams generally are in the window
and they will take the certainty of knowing they have
a great player.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Help me understand. I've seen the headlines, and you can't
always buy into a headline. But is Aaron Rodgers holding
the Steelers hostage again? Or is it? You know, this
predicated on the Steelers. If they want to sign Aaron,
then they offer him a contract. So I'm I'm trying
to figure that out. And even his appearance on McAfee
(25:35):
didn't necessarily clear it up for me.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
No, we learned a lot of other things though, learned
a lot of other things, a lot about his personal life.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
I was not expected, But here we are. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
I would say for him to say there's not an
offer that he's considering, I think that's true. But my
guess is he probably knows what the offer would be, right,
Like you get to this point in your career. He's
made a lot of money, you know, I think he
was a twenty last year, whatever it was, Like, my
guess is it's similar. So whether it's been offered or not, Like,
(26:07):
he probably knows what it is. It's just a matter
of him saying do I want to play or not.
You know, my sense is it's the Steelers or no one.
It's just on him to sort of make a decision
and let.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
Us all know.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
And if you want to tell us all sorts of
things about his personal life and his exercise schedule and
all that, we'll probably take.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
That as well.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
The Vikings wouldn't be in the mix.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Heere.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
You know, they had a chance last year and didn't
do it.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
I'd be surprised if they did it this year with
the same exact opportunity presented.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Could you Okay, then let's do the musical chairs here
Kyler Murray to Malik Willis throwing Kirk Cousins. I guess
if you want to sure got a feeling on any
of those quarterbacks?
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Yeah, I mean I would say, you know, we've talked
about this. Minnesota makes a lot of sense for Kyler.
He's gonna have a lot of options because he's going
to make a million bucks, you know, because the Cardinals
are paying all of it, just like TOUA two is
gonna you know, make the minimum because it offsets into
his previous deal and that's all fully guaranteed, so the
previous team pays all the money and the new team
gets one of the best deals in the century, you know,
(27:13):
of the century. So Minnesota makes sense for Kyle. I
think a bunch of other teams is gonna be interested
in Jets will be interested. I mean, there's gonna be
a lot of teams. I would say for Kirk Cousins,
I don't get the sense he would play for the minimum,
so his you know hit Basically, if he gets paid
more than ten, then the new team pays it, right,
then he gets more money. He's making ten no matter
(27:34):
what from the Falcons. So if he doesn't want to
play for the minimum, then there's a chance he just waits.
And he's the guy who if anyone gets injured, they go,
I'll take that guy. And you know, he's made a
lot of money, but he is an excellent businessman and
he always would like more money.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
So I could see.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Cousins hanging around and waiting a little bit. And you know,
as far as too, I do think he's gonna have
options of just not just not sure where he ends up.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Landing right now.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And is mac Jones going to be available?
Speaker 12 (28:06):
You know, I think everyone's available. Mac Jones is in
a weird situation of he played so well last year
and brock Purdy has had times where he's missed time.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
So if you're the forty nine.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Ers, like I think they would do a deal, but god,
it would have to be worth it to where, like,
you know, let's just let's play this out a little bit.
Let's say the forty nine ers trade mac Jones somewhere
for a mid round pick.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Okay, totally reasonable.
Speaker 12 (28:34):
And then you know, God forbid, brock Purdy gets injured
next year and they go.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
Why did we just do this?
Speaker 12 (28:42):
That's the fear, because if you're the forty nine ers, like,
they're another team that's in their super Bowl window all
the time, So it has to be something where it
is worth it.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
If you trade your backup.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Quarterback, yeah, I wouldn't trade him.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
You wouldn't trade it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No, no, no, no, no, not this next year, because
there's no guarantee with brock perty staying healthy for seventeen games.
And I know I have a quarterback who could be
equal to him, who's the backup. And I don't know
if any other team in the NFL has that luxury
right now.
Speaker 12 (29:17):
Right, I mean, And that's this is the problem, and
it's like when you're talking trades, you're like, all right,
you know, we talked about guard so these guy's going
to go for three, this guy's going to.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Go for four, et cetera.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
It's like you have to know that, you know you're
giving up a guy that you might need, and that's
always sort of the issue.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
This time, it's really complex and interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And Malik Willis it feels like it's Miami or Arizona
given the connections of Mike laflor to Matt Lafleur and
then the front office going to the Dolphins.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean, I think he's gonna have more than that.
You know.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
Again, like he's an interesting case because he doesn't have
a lot of throws, but when he's played, he has
played awesome in the biggest moments. So you're not going
to sign Malik Willis and then say, what's he gonna
be like in the fourth quarter. You know you've seen it.
It's just not a huge sample size. Like I think
he's going to do really well. You know, I think
(30:08):
those two teams make sense. But it's really like one
of the more interesting free agentsies sometimes because he could
come in be the franchise quarterback. We all thought he
was going to be in the in the draft, and
you know, could be another sign where once again the
whole world gives up on a quarterback too early, and
then he comes in and he's Sam Darnold, you know,
holding a trophy like We've seen a lot of examples
(30:29):
of that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What's the next contract going to be worth for a quarterback?
Like like Drake May, what's his contract in five years ninety?
Speaker 12 (30:41):
I mean I would say, first of all, probably looking
at you know, you'd hope to do four years. You know,
Dak Prescott's still the gold standard at sixty. I think
whenever Lamar gets a deal done with the Baltimore Ravens,
which you know doesn't sound imminent, but you know, you'd
hope this offseason, you know, that might be the one
that either sets the bar comes close. But yeah, I mean,
if DA's at sixty, I think the next round of
(31:03):
quarterback deals you're pushing sixty or maybe more like but
the caps going up. That's what you want, right that
you want all these guys to get paid.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
They all deserve it.
Speaker 12 (31:13):
If you're you know, the worst problem you have is
also the best, which is you got to pay your
quarterback a lot of money because that means you got
a guy and.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
That's a very good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Thanks for taking time.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Awesome, good hanging man. Take it.

Jason Tatum set to make his season debut tonight against
the MAVs, and DraftKings has the over under at twelve
and a half points for Jason Tatum. Mavericks are fourteen
and a half point underdogs. Cooper flags to come back.
He's missed a couple of weeks, a couple of phone
calls in here, Aaron in Virginia's we wait for Jim Jackson.
Speaker 13 (32:06):
Hi erin, Hey DP, thanks for having me again. I
gotta take that. I think is more controversial than the pants.
For first, I just want to say, Fritty, I agree
with the I've seen videos of Indian street food and
they're like scooping up with their hands and that's just disgusting.
But my take is everybody that I've ever asked has
disagreed with me. Most people put their socks and shoes on.
(32:29):
They go sock sock shoe, shoe. I go stop shoe,
sock shoe. That can depend it if anybody wants to
want the.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Uh, that's insane, insane. Yes, I'm it's sock sock shoe shoe. Yes, Bonly, you.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Should be on a watch list if you do your
shoes and socks like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sock sock shoe.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Shoot.
Speaker 10 (32:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Uh did Cooper Flag play that?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:58):
In the Loss of Your Magic?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Okay, okay, right, so it was his first game back. Okay? Uh?
Fresh in Milwaukee, Hi Fresh? What's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (33:09):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
DP?
Speaker 10 (33:10):
And Dan nets with DP. I think you did a
great job. I'm making a poll question this week. You
brought us some excellent nicknames with Grandma Mam and doctor
dunkas Stein and it got me to think, and what
are the five greatest nicknames in sports?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Air?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Doctor j Magic?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, it's the great one or the greatest? So Ali
and Gretzky I would start there and then work your
way down. I mean, Eric Jordan was great because it
created a brand, a you know, billion dollar brand. But
Ali called himself the greatest and lived up to it.
(33:50):
Wayne didn't call himself the great one. He was called
the great one, but he lived up to being the
great one. You can have a great nickname, you just
got to live up to it. Yes, MARVH.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
I think Magic Johnson's the greatest sick name because they
call you magic instead of Irving.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Right.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
No one's saying, hey, greatest, how are you? People say magic,
how are you? That's what I That's what I take.
When somebody says a nickname like Babe Ruth, no one
calls him George Herman. Yeah, but Babe in a great nickname. Oh,
I was just using it as an example as a nickname.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I don't know why. It feels like we're feuding.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I think we're getting spicy because of the Indian food.
I think it just turned us against one another.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
But I don't want to go into the weekend like that. Okay,
you're right, Dan, I love you. I love you too.
I just want to make sure that did it feel
like I was piling on you? No, I have a buffalo.
I mean I tried to No, I.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Thought this was just good sports radio conversation.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Yes, PAULI magic is just perfect because he had it
before the Lakers brought him in. He went there with
the nickname, and he went to the right team and
the right style. If you ever said to someone you
don't have to be a sports fan, yeah, I just
ran into magic.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You don't have to say Johnson, and I would say
Paolo Bancaro.
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Your guy.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, it feels like my magic have peaked.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
They were one of my up and coming teams and
then they just they stop up and coming as a team. Yes, Marton, Yeah,
that's still your team, right, they were. You know, each
year I try to pick out a team because three
years ago it was like the Cavaliers. I gave you
the Cavs. I gave you Sacramento. Well no, but I
(35:36):
gave you when they were a playoff team because they
had Tyrese Haliburton. See, when you watch these teams nobody
else is watching, then you almost become an authority. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (35:46):
When you type the word magic in the Google, the
next word that comes out as Johnson.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Okay, Larry Legend, nice nickname. Uh. Pete Rose was the
hit king, but you're talking about. That's your actual name.
Your nickname is is your first name to a lot
of people. Tiger, Yeah, Tiger is a great one.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
I think Doctor J is up there too, because people
would just say doc.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Doc, yeah, yes, poem.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
But doctor J's was versatile. You could call him doctor J,
the doctor doc. Announcers would call him different things. Yeah,
and he was cool enough to have that nickname.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
And when he got introduced when he was in Philadelphia
was Julia's. They had this great uh pa announcer and
he would give you that Julia serving aving awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Uh Still seeing him in the airport is one of
the coolest things the last twenty years of my life.
It might be in the top five of just seeing
doctor J walk by me in the airport and being like,
oh my god, that's Julia's serving.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
And then it was like my kids were going, hey,
can we have permission to go and follow doctor J? Dan, Dan,
you see Dan? I know, I said, said, go ahead,
go ahead tell him. I said hello, because they just
saw doctor J in the airport. I think we were
at Lax and all of a sudden, he's just floating down.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
The coolest stroll I've ever seen in real life.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Like a boss. Yeah, like a boss. Jim Jackson, Fox,
NBA college basketball analyst, and he's got Indiana at Ohio
State coming up on Saturday. You remember the first time
you met doctor j oh Do?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I oh, it was it was unbelievable.
Speaker 14 (37:31):
Ninety five, ninety four, ninety five. It was an All
Star game in Phoenix, and I finally got it because
I grew up a doctor J fan.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Okay, I wanted to have the af ro.
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Uh you remember fish to say at Pittsburgh, Yeah, Moses Guthrie.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
That's that's doctor J.
Speaker 14 (37:51):
So when I met him, and I was listening to
you guys talk about how smoove doctor is, it's unbelieved.
When he walks in a room, it's just like poetry
of motion. It and I still got the picture I
have when I shook his hand. He had some glasses on,
and it was just one of those moments where I
was like, man, I just met I just met doctor J.
And we've become really close friends, you know, since then.
(38:14):
So it's it's it's surreal. One of my heroes growing up. Man, unbelievable,
unbelievable human being.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And if I could attach soundtracks to certain athletes like
Miles Davis or Coltrane would have been doctor J.
Speaker 14 (38:29):
No doubt it had been something real, smooth, dramatic, heavy baseline,
but smooth with doctors moving.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Man, he's still he's still like that.
Speaker 14 (38:39):
Because you know, we got good friends, especially over the
time covering the Big Three, and he's a big cigar
smoker like I am. So just hanging out with him,
hearing the stories about back in the day. By this progress,
you know, through the A, B, A and NBA, it's
nothing like it man to this day, small a person.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Help me understand what's going on with Luca from the
standpoint of everybody feels like there's this is its open
season on Luca that he winds a lot, got another technical,
he's you know, doesn't play defense. You know, the it's
now being exposed because every Laker game is under the
(39:23):
microscope always. Okay, where where's this headed with Luca and
the Lakers?
Speaker 14 (39:30):
Well, it's tough, Dan, because we're not privy to the
day to day operations every day in practice the conversation,
So you want to you want to take pause to
that a little bit and try not to evaluate everything
by what you think, you know, and see now optically,
it doesn't look good optically. It was the same thing
in Dallas with with Luca, with his body language at times,
(39:52):
with his persistent to persistence to always complain about files
to the official that's always been there. Now it's been
some other players that have been like that in the
past too, but with Luca now being with the Lakers
as well, expectations it just draws the ear of a
lot of people. Now, keep in mind, this is the
situation too because of the trade situation. The Lakers have
(40:17):
to figure this out with Luca. That was that was
one of the big things when when they the trade
went through, it was like, okay, yes we got the trade,
but the Lakers still got to convince Luca that this
is the ultimate and the final landing spot, you know,
to sign his deal. So how that interaction between he
and JJ he and new management continue to foster itself
(40:38):
is very important to the future of this franchise, okay,
because they put everything all eggs in one basket basically
by going to get Luca. So they got to figure
out a way to make it work. But it doesn't
look good optically with what's going on. I'm not talking
about he and you know JJ having some words on
the sideline. Players and coaches do that all the time.
That's that's nothing new. But partically his body language doesn't
(41:01):
look good.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Does it ever help complaining to an official.
Speaker 14 (41:07):
In your mind as a player, Yes, you know it.
But sometimes you know old school officials, you know, the
earl Stroms of the world, the dig Vveda's, you can
go up and talk to okay, and they'll tell you like, okay,
enough is enough, this is it, this is what's going
to happen, or they'll tell you know, I missed that one.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (41:28):
Now I'm not saying that today's officials don't do it,
but it was a different kind of relationship back then.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Yeah, but Jim talking to an official and whining to
an official, big difference.
Speaker 14 (41:38):
Okay, what about yelling, because Mike yelled at a lot
of officials. Yeah, Magic did, Isaiah did, all the guys
you know, yes, yeah, Kobe.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Did, Yes, Kobe did, Larry did they Yes, Larry.
Speaker 14 (41:51):
Did, yes. So but you're saying whining, and I think
with with Luca it's it's gone overboarding. A lot officials
tired of it, they really are, but they don't tack
him up.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
So if they're tired of it, check them up.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, but he's on the on the precipice of being
suspended with his technicals.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Well, I mean sometimes you got to go to extreme
mad well what not. But you know what now, But
she got a text and he knew it. Okay.
Speaker 14 (42:21):
And but the officials made it a point too with
Rashid that if you continue to do this, boom you're out.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
They don't do that with Luca.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
See the difference you think if they if they say, hey,
one more, you're gone.
Speaker 14 (42:36):
Yeah, tell said Luca, Okay, enough is enough? Okay, one more.
I got what you're saying. You want the file. But
I could call the file on the other end when
you resin and we didn't call it. Okay, I can
do the same thing. Now, how do you want it?
How do how do you want to play this?
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Okay?
Speaker 14 (42:55):
I said, you just got to be raw and honest
with the player, because you got to give certain player
you're gonna give respect to. Then they deserve it now
that you just tell them, like now you're on my
butt for this. But I could have called this a
couple of times down here, and I didn't. Not that
I'm playing favorites, but I'm trying to let the game go.
So it's the same thing on the opposite end. That's
(43:16):
that's old school refereeing right there. That's what that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
So now, as a player, you got to make a decision.
Speaker 14 (43:21):
Okay, do I really need to keep complaining and putting
him in a situation or the officials in a situation
where now they're gonna kick me out or give me
another tech? Now that's on me because they told me
exactly what is going to happen if I continue down
this path.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
It's on me.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Can you make Luca play defense?
Speaker 4 (43:44):
At times? He has?
Speaker 14 (43:46):
But as a player, that's that that goes back to
not only just the coaching staff but his teammates. How
much respect he has to really want to play this
game at the end of the day, Dan, That's that's
all it is. And again I'm not saying, and I
don't think everybody's saying that he has to be the
best defensive player, that he has to be a lockdown defender.
But you got to give the effort. You just can't
(44:06):
lay on the screen. You just can't not run back
after you take a bad shot and not get back
in transition. You cannot not rotate over to take a
charge or step in and help your teammates. That's something individually,
that's something that you know, his teammates got to expect
out of him and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
He has to want to give that to his team.
Speaker 14 (44:28):
I'll play with Steve Nash. Steve probably he'll tell you
he wasn't the best defender, but he gave the effort.
And that's what all teammates want to see, is that,
just give me the effort.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Do you think Steve Nash could guard me?
Speaker 14 (44:41):
Oh, he'll lock you down, Dan, I'm here, get up
underneath you all day long. That one step you got
to the side, he'll take that away. He's sending you
left all day.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
But I'm gonna take him down low.
Speaker 14 (44:51):
So I mean, not the first time that team got
posted up and Steve would be like hell double.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Which Jackson Fox's NBA College basketball analyst, can wemby steal
the MVP?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
You know what?
Speaker 14 (45:09):
That's a that's a great question because of the position
that they're in, right, I don't think he can this year.
I don't think it's his numbers stack up to individually, Okay,
individually to those of SGA, Jokic, Kay Cunningham now here.
Here's the difference too, is that I know a lot
of conversation has been about SGA and about MVP Most
(45:34):
Valuable Player Okay to their team numbers sometimes don't tell
it all. Steve Nash when he won back to back,
Kobe's number on that. Numbers on the back end of
that were better, but Steve's value to the team.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
But that's what it was based on.
Speaker 14 (45:48):
Kobe's value to the team SGA, even though when he
was absent Okase he continued to win. It's a difference
with Wendy when he out of the lineup. That's how
I think they just start to determine MVP. But I
really love Kate what Cage is doing. I mean, unbelievable
(46:09):
job there in Detroit. Honestly, you know, I would love
to see him be rewarded if they have the best record,
because his value to that team is multiplied a lot
by what he does, kind of like with Yo Kitch
at times, even though they weren't ten and six when
he was out. It's something about But I think Wemby
(46:32):
definitely is in the conversation. I don't think he'll even
if they get end up being second second best record,
I still don't think he'll get it this year.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Well, you know, we have that sixty five game threshold,
and if Joker misses one more game, he's out. If
SGA misses a few more games, he's going to be on.
Would you be okay by default that Kate Cunningham, because
he played more than sixty five games, is the MVP, of.
Speaker 14 (46:56):
Course, and that's why you put it in. I think
you know it's I want to ask you too, what
do you think about the sixty five game rule, because
here's my thought on this is that if you're going
to put that rule in, you have to let this
thing play out and have players understand that it is
a consequence. Now, sometimes it's not against it's not their
fault that they get hurt, but this has to be
(47:19):
it has to be a pain point to a lot
of players where they make it so that they are
on the court. So you can't all of a sudden,
after one or two years, just change it because now
it doesn't do anything. If the sixty five game rule
is going to be put into effect, and these are
the number of games that you have to play in
order to receive the awards at the end of the year.
(47:40):
You got to make it stick. You got to make
it a pain point for players that they understand there's
a penalty if I don't it here or can't adhere
to this.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
You can't just all of a sudden change, I.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Know, but in all transparency, I'm the one that brought
it up to the commissioner that I thought that he
needed to have a number. So you had guys who
were going to play hard and if you're going to
be eligible for postseason honors, that you played at least
sixty five games.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
So you did that. Yeah, oh, we appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (48:11):
Now keep in mind the Players Association all of that.
They have to agree to it too. Is not something
that Adam Silf you can to just lay down the
law and say, Okay, this is what we're going to do.
So obviously it was discussed and negotiated and agreed upon,
and I think it needs to stay in place if
that's what they're going to do, to have players understand
(48:32):
this is the threshold on what you must pass in
order to receive awards at the end of the year,
and it has to stick.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I know, we're creeping up to March Madness. Here you've
got Indiana and Ohio State on Saturday. What was worse
that you were in the Elite eight and you lost
in overtime, or that you lost in overtime to Michigan.
Speaker 14 (48:56):
It wasn't the fact that it was Michigan, because you
think about it, at the time, our rival was Indiana.
It wasn't missed. We beat Michigan twice that year. But
it goes back to the nineteen eighty nine Final four. Well, yeah,
final four. It was Illinois Michigan. Illinois that year beat
Michigan twice during the regular season. Michigan won that game
(49:17):
and went to the National Championship, ended up winning. It
just tells you how difficult it is to beat it now.
Them being us being in the same region was kind
of ironic. But when we watched that team play, there
was a different team than when we played earlier in
the year. From the first game to the second game
to where they were at. They matured, they grew, they
got more confident, and we had the onus was on
(49:40):
us because we were the number one seed to win.
No pressure was on Michigan. So yes, it hurt. It
hurt and not just because it was Michigan. It's because
we had a chance to go to a Final four,
to accomplish something that a lot of teams don't get
a chance to. That was more disappointing than actually who
we lost to.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Do you ever bring I see?
Speaker 14 (50:00):
Okay, I still can't watch the game to today because
to this day, Dam, I'm hoping for a different outcome
and for some reason, it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
I think you run it back? Can you get everybody together?
Speaker 6 (50:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Man, that'd be an ugly game. Brother, it'd be an
ugly game.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
But when you run into these Michigan guys, do they
remind you no?
Speaker 14 (50:23):
Because I played, they're some of my best friends. Played
with Juwan in Houston, played with Christian Sacramento. Jimmy King
was a free agent, came down to camp in Dallas.
Ray Jackson and I good friends. Jalen and I worked
out in the summertime, did a lot of stuff. So actually,
when they went to the Final four, what was that
(50:43):
Trey Burtch here two thousand and sixteens, I mean seven,
I forget when they lost to Louisville. You were in
San Antonio. I was there. I was with the group
I was. You know, they're really close friends of mine,
and I respect each each one of them, man, I
mean each one got the great guys. Man, give the
shirt off their back to you.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Great to see you, thank.
Speaker 4 (51:05):
You, Great to see you too. Man. Work on that
post up game. I'm testing.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
I'm not afraid of Steve Nash. I'm not afraid.
Speaker 4 (51:12):
I'm just saying shots, shots taken.
Speaker 2 (51:14):
I'm just telling you I shoot better deeper than he does. Really, yes, yes, okay, yes.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
We'll leave it right there. I'm taking that message to Steve.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
If you don't give it, I will. I'm telling the
country right now, you are Steve Nash. Mid range jumper.
Mid range jumper. Steve is what I called him. You're
not out there. I mean great percentage from three point
right right, just saying mid range jumper, Steve.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
All right, he's going nicky to death.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
They called me Danny deep, Danny deep.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Jim all right, man, have a good one, Jim Jackson Fox,
come man.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
He's not buying any of that.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
He thinks I'm joking. I'm joking. He hopes you're joking.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
I love that, all right, man.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
He thinks I should be joking right now, texting Steve
naw He'll be working Indiana at Ohio State on Saturday
with fonts
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We put our pants on the same way you do.
It's a Friday. It's a meat Friday. Yes see.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I think there are a lot of people this morning
who put their pants on and thought of us immediately
this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, because I use my Lou Holtz impersonation. They put
your pants on the same way we do. And so
I waited a day after the passing of Lou Holtz.
But then we started talking about how do you put
your pants on in the morning, and lo and behold,
it's either left leg first or right leg first. Paul
Y both legs jumping in fritzy somehow brought up folkrum.
(00:43):
Who knew? You know, we build up this great morale
the last week and a half or so, and it's
all gone to hell. Yeah, Meet Friday has really divided
the building. Yeah, there is some overt tension. Dylan has
(01:05):
been prepping for days and he said, hey, I was
gonna have some Indian food. I said, well, just make
sure there's some meat in there. It's a meat Friday.
And so he said, okay. He was prepping yesterday afternoon,
he was prepping this morning. I come in and I
hear from a couple of backroom guys, I'm not eating that.
I go, well, you don't have to, but let's try it.
(01:28):
Let's be open minded. We have buttered chicken, lamb tica, masala, garlic,
Nan and Rice. Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Pretty much? Everyone?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Who is the most concerned of the danetes?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm going to guess this might not agree with you.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I'm very concerned about the menu.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
I don't know if I'm gonna like it, and I
don't know what's gonna happen after eating it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, but you've had Indian food before. I tried a
little bit yesterday.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
I had like, what like two little teeny pieces of
some kind of chicken curry thing that I put on
a piece of bagel.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But before yesterday, I've never had an Indiana Okay.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
Yes, Todd is not adventurous in anything in life and
food especially. I'm surprised, living in Brooklyn he hadn't had
Indian food before. It's an eclectic area.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
I don't know why we can't just have hot dogs
and hamburgers and pizza and meatball subs and called meat.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Forridder's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, yeah, I mean that
that's your food, my wheel, have your food wings.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
There's a million things I would eat ahead of that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Anybody else concerned in here, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Know concerned is the right word. I'm I've tried Indian
food many, many times. My wife and my son love it.
They absolutely love it, and I've tried. I've gone out
with them many times. I've gone out with our friends
who are Indian to their favorite Indian restaurants and eating
food with them. And when I travel that it's when
my wife and son go get Indian food. All Right,
(03:02):
It's just not my thing. I just it's not my
flavor profile.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well, we have to overcome this. I've tried
it many times, though. I really have this on the
heels of a team building lunch. And now all of
a sudden, this is a team disbuilding or dismantling. Something
has gone on, something's gone wrong off the rails. But
you know what, in my family, with my wife and kids,
(03:30):
you got a gold star if you tried something, and
of course I aspired to get a gold star. The
kids would be like, do I get a gold store
for that? They'd be like five years old, do I
get a gold star, Yes you do, Okay, I'll try it.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Did you guys do a clean plate club by any chance?
Speaker 10 (03:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's big in our house.

of the Day, all of that forthcoming stat of the
Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
cards of the program. Good morning, if you're watching on
Peacock or NBC Sports Network or are radio affiliates around
the country. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio Seat and we'll have
a poll question coming up. If you haven't seen him,
(04:31):
please do. Victor Wembenyama coming to an arena near you.
He had thirty eight, sixteen and five blocks and the
Spurs beat the Pistons. San Antonio Is won thirteen of
its last fourteen and Wemby is the first NBA player
with thirty eight sixteen five blocks in the game since
Joel Embiid in twenty twenty two, and well the first
(04:55):
Spur to do it since David Robinson in nineteen ninety
no turnovers as well. He is a very, very fluid player.
(05:20):
It's not like your big guy can be a little
bit clumsy. He's got a great handle and great hands.
I mean, so does Joker. You know, these big men
have evolved that you want the ball in their hands.
They're not afraid to put it on the floor. They're
good passers. But I don't know who's going to win
the MVP this year, but Wemby's going to win it
(05:41):
the following year. Joker, to me, is the best player
in the game. SGA is the best player on the
best team. But man, you know, objects in your rear
view mirror appear closer. No, no, this object in your
rear view mirror is closer because Wemby is changing the game. Yes, Pauling,
(06:02):
he can't win it this year. I don't think he
could steal it unless Joker doesn't play in the required
sixty five games and or SGA. But after that, I
know people are going to talk about Kay Cunningham and
Jalen Brunson really really good players. They're they're not Victor
wembin Yama. Now that doesn't mean that, you know, somebody
(06:23):
like that couldn't come in and steal the MVP. And
this would be the first year that this could happen
because you have to have at least sixty five games,
so you might get some you know, Jaylen Brown with Boston,
you might get somebody who wins the MVP because somebody
or somebody's lost the MVP. But watching Victor wemben Yama,
(06:45):
he had to put back dunk where he had to look,
he had to look out for the rim. He he
leaned back so as his head wouldn't hit the rim.
But fascinating, you know. And oh, by the way, Joker
at a triple double last night beating the Lakers. I
don't know why I keep watching the Lakers and going
there's going to be a different outcome here, because that
(07:07):
Denver roster is not a great roster. It's not. But
I'm watching the Lakers and they're top heavy. And Luca
got another technical here, and we're going to talk to
Jim Jackson a great analyst. It just feels like the
NBA is turning on Luca right now. Like we saw
glimpses of him complaining before not playing defense, but he
(07:30):
was such a magnificent offensive player. Well, now the Lakers
they're on all the time, They're being discussed all the time.
People weren't discussing the Dallas Mavericks all the time with Luca.
Now everybody knows, Hey, you got to play the ratings game,
you got to get clicks, you got to talk about
the Lakers. Well, if you're talking about the Lakers, what
(07:51):
are the positives? Okay, Lebron has more field goals made
than anybody in the history of the game, passing Kareem
abdul Jabbar. Okay, now what do we talk about. Here's
another technical he's been complaining, whining. But more people are
seeing this, therefore more people talking about this. And then
it just feels like and Kendrick Perkins, who I know
(08:15):
is looking for clicks. But you know, even Draymond Green
they said, you know, maybe Nico Harrison was correct in
his assessment of Luca. Now I don't buy into that,
because you still got a generational talent. As a score
and a guy who can give you a triple double,
very good passer. He doesn't play defense and he winds, Okay,
(08:35):
we all know that, but what he does on the
offensive end. You can't give up Luca for Anthony Davis. Okay.
So he could be right about Luca, but you got
to get more than what you got. So you can
tell me, boy, he's smart to get rid of Luca,
but he wasn't smart getting Anthony Davis. He can't have
it both ways there. But you're watching Luca. Every call
(09:02):
can't be against you, like sometimes they might get a call,
right and you're a star, you get more calls than
other players do, and you're just watching and you're going,
you're selfish, You're making this all about you. You don't
get the call, get back on defense, don't sit there
and whine. And if I'm a ref am, I going
(09:26):
to acquiesce to you because you're complaining all the time. Now,
I think coaches get away with this, you know, far
more than players do. But the great players they did wine,
They did complain all the time, and it felt like
they would get extra calls in this situation. Like if
Draymond Green was you know, complaining, I'd go, Draymond, shut up,
(09:47):
you get another technical. Okay, we're not doing this, Luke,
I'd say the same thing. Get up, You're better than this.
Play the game. Yeah, it's like, hey, oh, how can
you not call that? I get it. Shaq could have
complained every single time down the floor, every single time
(10:09):
he was going to get found. But they can't call
foul on every play. But Luca has got to understand
be a teammate here, not an individual. And it feels
like every time down the floor it's some referendum on
him not getting calls. But Denver ends up with the win.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yes, Marvin May, you see so many times when it's
a four or five because Lucas already back there. Look,
they're not going to change the call just because you're complaining.
You got to get back on defense. And it's the NBA.
An open three pointer that's a practice shot to these guys.
And so the lack of defense is because you're not
even back there playing defense because you're arguing with.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
The ref Lebron had sixteen and with seven field goals made,
he passed Kareem for the most made field goals in
NBA history All right, we'll come up with the poll
question and we got our play of the day coming up.
Your phone was always welcome on this controversial meet Friday
eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick
(11:07):
dot com, Twitter handle a DP show coming up. I
want to talk about Jason Tatum. And when I was
at the Super Bowl, I ran into somebody who has
always been a great source with the Celtics, and I
just said, Hey, what are you thinking with Tatum? He said, well,
I'm hearing from this person that Tatum will be back
(11:28):
at the end of the month. I said, man, is
that quick? So I did come on the air because
I trust both of these sources that he was going
to come back at the end of the month. Well,
I'm a week off because he's going to be coming
back tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. But I'm going to
bring back what Reggie Miller had to say earlier this
week and listen to what he had to say about
(11:52):
Jason Tatum, the surgery and being able to come back
this quickly.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
To answer your question, and you and I have kind
of talked about this when he should be back. I'm
hearing as early as Friday that he's thinking about coming back.
I believe they do play Dallas at home. I'm from
the thinking I would like to see him come back
in the playoffs, when people's like, well, he needs games
under his belt. This will be a decision that he
(12:20):
has to make. I think it's a foregone conclusion that
he is coming back this year. I'm a little surprised,
but I think he's been doing this, working so hard
for his mental and I think he's ahead of schedule.
I don't know if you've watched any of that five
part documentary of you know, the quiet part of them
(12:42):
following him around, the best thing, if there was knock
on wood, the best thing. When he tore his achilles
in Game five, I believe in New York that the
doctor was right there, that they attached it right away,
and the thinking was the body didn't even know that
it had that traumatic experience. That's how quickly, within twenty
(13:03):
four hours they had the surgery on the achilles. So
that's why he is so far ahead a schedule versus
a Damian Lillard or Tyrese Halliburton is because they had
the surgery within twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He gets injured in New York and it just so
happens that this specialist had an opening on his calendar
the next day at three o'clock and he performed the
surgery less than twenty four hours later. But if you look,
Klay Thompson was out from November of twenty twenty to
January of twenty twenty two, Kevin Durant June of twenty
(13:40):
nineteen to December of twenty twenty, Tyrese Haliburton June of
twenty twenty five, he's still out. And here's Jason Tatum
injured in May and now coming back at the beginning
of March. Pretty remarkable because Achilles surgery that seemed like
that was the end of your career. We've made so
(14:00):
much progress in medicine with surgeries with athletes, certainly with knees,
with acls, even Tommy John, but the Achilles that was
always the man. The Achilles going to be at least
a year to come back. Now making great strides here,
no pun intended, but Jason Tatum will be minutes restriction
(14:21):
coming up tonight, and the Celtics have been preparing for this,
putting Peyton Pritchard on the bench and having him come
off as their sixth band to get ready for Tatum.
Now I would do it the other way. I'd have
Tatum come off the bench. I don't want We're not
winning the title in March. We could lose the title
in March if I over extend Jason Tatum because I
(14:42):
do think the Celtics of the team to beat in
the East. All Right, football news, more news coming up
next week. We will try to foreshadow what that could
look like. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network will join us

Shuttle on a poll question more phone calls coming up.
The NFL is omnipresent, as is Ian Rappaport, NFL Network
insider and free Agent Frenzy. This is where you know,
when you have a storm, like you have to label
the storm. We got a free agent Frenzy comeing up
Monday through Wednesday, starting at ten am Eastern on NFL Network.
(16:04):
Thanks for joining us Ian give me the Bills side
of the trade yesterday. Their strategy.
Speaker 12 (16:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think for the Bills it's fairly simple.
They have been trying for more than a year to
acquire a big time playmaker for Josh Allen and you
needed someone you knew was going to come in contribute
right away and you know, be the kind of difference maker.
I think it's fair to say that the offense is
probably needed. You know, remember at the trade deadline, the
Buffalo Bills were in.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
It for Jalen Waddle, right.
Speaker 12 (16:33):
Didn't end up doing it because I think the Dolphins
were like, we don't want Jalen model to beat us
twice a year, makes sense, So didn't end up getting
that deal done. And you know, I think the Bills
were in on the AJ Brown deal and said, you
know what, this one makes sense for us, and the
fact that DJ Moore at two of his best seasons
with Joe Brady when the two were in Carolina probably
(16:53):
made this fit a little easier. So Dj Moore goes
to the Bills, and I think, if you're the Bears,
you know, I like what they did. Compensation wise, it's
basically the value of a you know, third round pick
three slash four, but they gave up a five and
got a two.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
That's a really good way to do it for Chicago.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And they'll try to replace him. I get a guest
with that draft pick or draft picks, but then now
you got to replace your center as well. Yeah, with
the Chicago Bears. How surprising was that for you?
Speaker 12 (17:24):
You know, Dolman had been I would say, contemplating this
for the last several weeks.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
So I think it caught you know, the public by surprise.
Chicago has really known.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
In fact, you know, one of the ways I found
out about it was Tyler Biattis, who actually is signing
a three or thirty million dollar deal with the Chargers.
You know, he was planning to visit Chicago, and you're
sort of like, well, why would be oddist be planning
to visit Chicago. He played center, they have a center,
and then you sort of realize, like, what's been going on.
You know, it's tough to know what goes on inside
(17:56):
someone's head. But what I would say is, if at
some point, first of all, you've made enough money, second
of all, you decide you're not fully in this, you
should definitely not play because football is not something that
you can sort of do halfway. So you know, he
I think he gave up a total of fourteen million dollars,
including repaying some of the signing bonus, so capwise end
(18:18):
up being not bad for Chicago.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
The Rams Chiefs trade, you don't normally get blockbusters like
that in early March. How surprised were you and how
would you grade this?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (18:29):
I mean, fascinating trade and made for a unbelievable talk
about Frenzy, made for an unbelievable frenzied several hours as
I tried to nail this down and figure out what
rumors were true. And you know, it's fun when these
things happened because the principles involved in the deal, everybody
goes silence. So that's kind of what happened here is
you know, there's probably ten people I can call on
(18:51):
all sides of this, and for two hours, no one
said a word, and you're like, either I'm crazy, possible,
or this deal is definitely only happening. It turned out
this deal was happening. It was very fun to hit
send on that one. So, you know, I would say
for the Rams, the interesting sort of rumor or whatever
you want to call it that I heard on the Rams.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
I know they have a lot of their players that are.
Speaker 12 (19:14):
Up now, Pouka Nakua, Kobe Turner, a lot of really
good players. What I was told was they want to
get those guys done. That's important, but they're going to
spend regardless.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
They believe.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
You know, look, we don't know if it's Matt Stafford's
last year, but it might be. They believe they have
a window and they want to take advantage of it.
So I was thinking in my head, like, all right,
the Rams are gonna load it for something. Trent McDuffie
makes sense. I knew the Chiefs really like him but
were never able to get to a contract for him.
So whenever the contract gets done with the Rams will
likely be the highest paid corner and for the Chiefs,
(19:45):
same thing they did with the Tyreek Hill deal. Got
a great player, get draft pick compensation, rebuild a part
of our team with these draft picks, and keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
What's Pokin Nakua going to get.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
A lot of money? A lot of money?
Speaker 12 (20:01):
You know, I would you know, I would think they'll
take a look at it this offseason, whether it's this offseason,
next offseason. I mean, you know, he and JSN are
both in the category of like, whenever they get paid,
it's going to be a lot, So you know, will
they be the highest paid receiver?
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Maybe?
Speaker 12 (20:18):
But either way, you're talking something in the thirties for
super super productive pass catchers.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I'm wondering who goes first there, because somebody's gonna
set the market between those two. And then yeah, I
don't know, if you know, Puka comes in after js
in and goes, I'm better than him. I want thirty
thirty six million dollars a year.
Speaker 12 (20:40):
Well, you know, I would say generally what happens is
if a guy's going to take a deal after he
knows that he's probably gonna get a little more. And
if you're the guy that goes first, you know, if
you have a good agent, and both these guys have
really good agents. They will say, you're gonna do this deal.
It's the right time, it's the right deal for you. Like,
negotiations happen when they happen, So sometimes they end in April,
(21:01):
sometimes they end in June. Whenever they end, the agent's
gonna tell them like, look, you're probably gonna get jumped,
like that's the way this works. But you do the
right deal for you, and if someone comes in a
little above you, that is okay.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Talking to Ian Rappaport NFL Network Insider their free agency
coverage Monday through Wednesday next week, starting at ten am Eastern,
try to understand the Patriots. Can I connect the dots
that Stefan Diggs released and then AJ Brown is certainly
a possibility there.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
They are connected, but not fully connected.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Like the Patriots releasing Stefan Diggs was a decision made
not to say, like, we're only going to do this
if we get AJ Brown. You know, My sense is
it was sort of like the Patriots have done the
last twenty years, which is, you know, cut a player
loose a little before it becomes a thing, right Like,
so we rather do it a year earlier than a
year late.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Diggs was awesome for them, a great signing.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
You know, had the off the field issues, which you know,
we'll see which way those go are kind of what
the fallout from that is. But obviously something as an
organization they heard about and dealt.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
With before the Super Bowl. He's thirty three years old.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
They decided cut bait there, say it was a great
season and and kind of move on.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
And then you know they're in it for a j. Brown.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
I get the sense it's real. I know there are
other teams too, and then if you're the Eagles, you know,
it's like I was joking around with someone. I was like, oh,
is it you know, trade or bust. It's like, it's
not trade or bust. It's trade or the Eagles because
that is a good situation too, and he's one of
their best players. So I think a trade could happen,
but I'm not gonna say like it's definitely definitely happening,
(22:46):
and I'm not gonna say it's definitely definitely happening to
the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What do you expect this weekend early next week?
Speaker 12 (22:54):
A lot of tweets, a lot of tweets, a lot
of phone calls, a lot of tweets. I think, you
know what generally happens is the trades happen kind of
early because teams would like to know going into the week,
like what do we have right like, so I would
say today and tomorrow, maybe into Sunday morning. You'll probably
get some more trades as teams clear space, as they
(23:17):
you know, get rid of some veterans, as they collect
draft picks, those sorts of things, and then you know,
we'll probably still see some trades during free agency frenzy,
but usually it's more just like very very quickly, a
lot of players get a lot of money, and I
expect it to be very quick.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is the NFL still a copycat league?
Speaker 12 (23:37):
As far as one team does one thing, another team says,
all right, that's a good idea, we should.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Do the same.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Like the Rams with what they do with their draft
picks that they go all in. Nine out of the
last ten years they've traded their first round pick. So
I don't I don't know if they like are they
the model of consistency that people would look at and
say we would like to emulate.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
No, I think the Rams have been different because they've
been in the window for so long. I mean they've
they've been to several Super Bowls, they've won one. I
think the difference with the Rams and like, you know,
not everyone else, but how many teams have really been
in the championship window for the for the last decade, right,
I mean, Chiefs have, Ravens have, not a there's some others,
(24:23):
but there's not you know, there's not a ton. So
when they've been in their window, they've said, you know what,
let's just let's just get this really good player. And
I think one thing the Rams like is they will
say we'll give up, you know, the thirtieth or twenty ninth,
whatever pick it is, because I think twenty nine, we'll
give that up and know that we are getting a
(24:45):
great player rather than the sixty percent chance of getting
a great player with that draft pick. Like they'll take
the certainty rather than the uncertainty. Some teams don't want that.
Some teams will say, I'll take the lottery ticket.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You know.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
It's like if I say to you, I'm to give
you fifty dollars or a lottery ticket, like you'd probably
be split on.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
How many people would take each. So I don't think
it's a copycat league.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
I just think the Rams generally are in the window
and they will take the certainty of knowing they have
a great player.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Help me understand. I've seen the headlines, and you can't
always buy into a headline. But is Aaron Rodgers holding
the Steelers hostage again? Or is it? You know, this
predicated on the Steelers. If they want to sign Aaron,
then they offer him a contract. So I'm I'm trying
to figure that out. And even his appearance on McAfee
(25:35):
didn't necessarily clear it up for me.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
No, we learned a lot of other things though, learned
a lot of other things, a lot about his personal life.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
I was not expected, But here we are. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
I would say for him to say there's not an
offer that he's considering, I think that's true. But my
guess is he probably knows what the offer would be, right,
Like you get to this point in your career. He's
made a lot of money, you know, I think he
was a twenty last year, whatever it was, Like, my
guess is it's similar. So whether it's been offered or not, Like,
(26:07):
he probably knows what it is. It's just a matter
of him saying do I want to play or not.
You know, my sense is it's the Steelers or no one.
It's just on him to sort of make a decision
and let.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
Us all know.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
And if you want to tell us all sorts of
things about his personal life and his exercise schedule and
all that, we'll probably take.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
That as well.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
The Vikings wouldn't be in the mix.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Heere.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
You know, they had a chance last year and didn't
do it.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
I'd be surprised if they did it this year with
the same exact opportunity presented.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Could you Okay, then let's do the musical chairs here
Kyler Murray to Malik Willis throwing Kirk Cousins. I guess
if you want to sure got a feeling on any
of those quarterbacks?
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Yeah, I mean I would say, you know, we've talked
about this. Minnesota makes a lot of sense for Kyler.
He's gonna have a lot of options because he's going
to make a million bucks, you know, because the Cardinals
are paying all of it, just like TOUA two is
gonna you know, make the minimum because it offsets into
his previous deal and that's all fully guaranteed, so the
previous team pays all the money and the new team
gets one of the best deals in the century, you know,
(27:13):
of the century. So Minnesota makes sense for Kyle. I
think a bunch of other teams is gonna be interested
in Jets will be interested. I mean, there's gonna be
a lot of teams. I would say for Kirk Cousins,
I don't get the sense he would play for the minimum,
so his you know hit Basically, if he gets paid
more than ten, then the new team pays it, right,
then he gets more money. He's making ten no matter
(27:34):
what from the Falcons. So if he doesn't want to
play for the minimum, then there's a chance he just waits.
And he's the guy who if anyone gets injured, they go,
I'll take that guy. And you know, he's made a
lot of money, but he is an excellent businessman and
he always would like more money.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
So I could see.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Cousins hanging around and waiting a little bit. And you know,
as far as too, I do think he's gonna have
options of just not just not sure where he ends up.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Landing right now.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And is mac Jones going to be available?
Speaker 12 (28:06):
You know, I think everyone's available. Mac Jones is in
a weird situation of he played so well last year
and brock Purdy has had times where he's missed time.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
So if you're the forty nine.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Ers, like I think they would do a deal, but god,
it would have to be worth it to where, like,
you know, let's just let's play this out a little bit.
Let's say the forty nine ers trade mac Jones somewhere
for a mid round pick.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Okay, totally reasonable.
Speaker 12 (28:34):
And then you know, God forbid, brock Purdy gets injured
next year and they go.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
Why did we just do this?
Speaker 12 (28:42):
That's the fear, because if you're the forty nine ers, like,
they're another team that's in their super Bowl window all
the time, So it has to be something where it
is worth it.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
If you trade your backup.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Quarterback, yeah, I wouldn't trade him.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
You wouldn't trade it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No, no, no, no, no, not this next year, because
there's no guarantee with brock perty staying healthy for seventeen games.
And I know I have a quarterback who could be
equal to him, who's the backup. And I don't know
if any other team in the NFL has that luxury
right now.
Speaker 12 (29:17):
Right, I mean, And that's this is the problem, and
it's like when you're talking trades, you're like, all right,
you know, we talked about guard so these guy's going
to go for three, this guy's going to.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Go for four, et cetera.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
It's like you have to know that, you know you're
giving up a guy that you might need, and that's
always sort of the issue.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
This time, it's really complex and interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And Malik Willis it feels like it's Miami or Arizona
given the connections of Mike laflor to Matt Lafleur and
then the front office going to the Dolphins.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean, I think he's gonna have more than that.
You know.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
Again, like he's an interesting case because he doesn't have
a lot of throws, but when he's played, he has
played awesome in the biggest moments. So you're not going
to sign Malik Willis and then say, what's he gonna
be like in the fourth quarter. You know you've seen it.
It's just not a huge sample size. Like I think
he's going to do really well. You know, I think
(30:08):
those two teams make sense. But it's really like one
of the more interesting free agentsies sometimes because he could
come in be the franchise quarterback. We all thought he
was going to be in the in the draft, and
you know, could be another sign where once again the
whole world gives up on a quarterback too early, and
then he comes in and he's Sam Darnold, you know,
holding a trophy like We've seen a lot of examples
(30:29):
of that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What's the next contract going to be worth for a quarterback?
Like like Drake May, what's his contract in five years ninety?
Speaker 12 (30:41):
I mean I would say, first of all, probably looking
at you know, you'd hope to do four years. You know,
Dak Prescott's still the gold standard at sixty. I think
whenever Lamar gets a deal done with the Baltimore Ravens,
which you know doesn't sound imminent, but you know, you'd
hope this offseason, you know, that might be the one
that either sets the bar comes close. But yeah, I mean,
if DA's at sixty, I think the next round of
(31:03):
quarterback deals you're pushing sixty or maybe more like but
the caps going up. That's what you want, right that
you want all these guys to get paid.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
They all deserve it.
Speaker 12 (31:13):
If you're you know, the worst problem you have is
also the best, which is you got to pay your
quarterback a lot of money because that means you got
a guy and.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
That's a very good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Thanks for taking time.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Awesome, good hanging man. Take it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Jason Tatum set to make his season debut tonight against
the MAVs, and DraftKings has the over under at twelve
and a half points for Jason Tatum. Mavericks are fourteen
and a half point underdogs. Cooper flags to come back.
He's missed a couple of weeks, a couple of phone
calls in here, Aaron in Virginia's we wait for Jim Jackson.
Speaker 13 (32:06):
Hi erin, Hey DP, thanks for having me again. I
gotta take that. I think is more controversial than the pants.
For first, I just want to say, Fritty, I agree
with the I've seen videos of Indian street food and
they're like scooping up with their hands and that's just disgusting.
But my take is everybody that I've ever asked has
disagreed with me. Most people put their socks and shoes on.
(32:29):
They go sock sock shoe, shoe. I go stop shoe,
sock shoe. That can depend it if anybody wants to
want the.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Uh, that's insane, insane. Yes, I'm it's sock sock shoe shoe. Yes, Bonly, you.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Should be on a watch list if you do your
shoes and socks like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sock sock shoe.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Shoot.
Speaker 10 (32:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Uh did Cooper Flag play that?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:58):
In the Loss of Your Magic?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Okay, okay, right, so it was his first game back. Okay? Uh?
Fresh in Milwaukee, Hi Fresh? What's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (33:09):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
DP?
Speaker 10 (33:10):
And Dan nets with DP. I think you did a
great job. I'm making a poll question this week. You
brought us some excellent nicknames with Grandma Mam and doctor
dunkas Stein and it got me to think, and what
are the five greatest nicknames in sports?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Air?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Doctor j Magic?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, it's the great one or the greatest? So Ali
and Gretzky I would start there and then work your
way down. I mean, Eric Jordan was great because it
created a brand, a you know, billion dollar brand. But
Ali called himself the greatest and lived up to it.
(33:50):
Wayne didn't call himself the great one. He was called
the great one, but he lived up to being the
great one. You can have a great nickname, you just
got to live up to it. Yes, MARVH.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
I think Magic Johnson's the greatest sick name because they
call you magic instead of Irving.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Right.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
No one's saying, hey, greatest, how are you? People say magic,
how are you? That's what I That's what I take.
When somebody says a nickname like Babe Ruth, no one
calls him George Herman. Yeah, but Babe in a great nickname. Oh,
I was just using it as an example as a nickname.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I don't know why. It feels like we're feuding.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I think we're getting spicy because of the Indian food.
I think it just turned us against one another.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
But I don't want to go into the weekend like that. Okay,
you're right, Dan, I love you. I love you too.
I just want to make sure that did it feel
like I was piling on you? No, I have a buffalo.
I mean I tried to No, I.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Thought this was just good sports radio conversation.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Yes, PAULI magic is just perfect because he had it
before the Lakers brought him in. He went there with
the nickname, and he went to the right team and
the right style. If you ever said to someone you
don't have to be a sports fan, yeah, I just
ran into magic.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You don't have to say Johnson, and I would say
Paolo Bancaro.
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Your guy.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, it feels like my magic have peaked.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
They were one of my up and coming teams and
then they just they stop up and coming as a team. Yes, Marton, Yeah,
that's still your team, right, they were. You know, each
year I try to pick out a team because three
years ago it was like the Cavaliers. I gave you
the Cavs. I gave you Sacramento. Well no, but I
(35:36):
gave you when they were a playoff team because they
had Tyrese Haliburton. See, when you watch these teams nobody
else is watching, then you almost become an authority. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (35:46):
When you type the word magic in the Google, the
next word that comes out as Johnson.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Okay, Larry Legend, nice nickname. Uh. Pete Rose was the
hit king, but you're talking about. That's your actual name.
Your nickname is is your first name to a lot
of people. Tiger, Yeah, Tiger is a great one.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
I think Doctor J is up there too, because people
would just say doc.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Doc, yeah, yes, poem.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
But doctor J's was versatile. You could call him doctor J,
the doctor doc. Announcers would call him different things. Yeah,
and he was cool enough to have that nickname.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
And when he got introduced when he was in Philadelphia
was Julia's. They had this great uh pa announcer and
he would give you that Julia serving aving awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Uh Still seeing him in the airport is one of
the coolest things the last twenty years of my life.
It might be in the top five of just seeing
doctor J walk by me in the airport and being like,
oh my god, that's Julia's serving.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
And then it was like my kids were going, hey,
can we have permission to go and follow doctor J? Dan, Dan,
you see Dan? I know, I said, said, go ahead,
go ahead tell him. I said hello, because they just
saw doctor J in the airport. I think we were
at Lax and all of a sudden, he's just floating down.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
The coolest stroll I've ever seen in real life.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Like a boss. Yeah, like a boss. Jim Jackson, Fox,
NBA college basketball analyst, and he's got Indiana at Ohio
State coming up on Saturday. You remember the first time
you met doctor j oh Do?
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I oh, it was it was unbelievable.
Speaker 14 (37:31):
Ninety five, ninety four, ninety five. It was an All
Star game in Phoenix, and I finally got it because
I grew up a doctor J fan.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Okay, I wanted to have the af ro.
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Uh you remember fish to say at Pittsburgh, Yeah, Moses Guthrie.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
That's that's doctor J.
Speaker 14 (37:51):
So when I met him, and I was listening to
you guys talk about how smoove doctor is, it's unbelieved.
When he walks in a room, it's just like poetry
of motion. It and I still got the picture I
have when I shook his hand. He had some glasses on,
and it was just one of those moments where I
was like, man, I just met I just met doctor J.
And we've become really close friends, you know, since then.
(38:14):
So it's it's it's surreal. One of my heroes growing up. Man, unbelievable,
unbelievable human being.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And if I could attach soundtracks to certain athletes like
Miles Davis or Coltrane would have been doctor J.
Speaker 14 (38:29):
No doubt it had been something real, smooth, dramatic, heavy baseline,
but smooth with doctors moving.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Man, he's still he's still like that.
Speaker 14 (38:39):
Because you know, we got good friends, especially over the
time covering the Big Three, and he's a big cigar
smoker like I am. So just hanging out with him,
hearing the stories about back in the day. By this progress,
you know, through the A, B, A and NBA, it's
nothing like it man to this day, small a person.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Help me understand what's going on with Luca from the
standpoint of everybody feels like there's this is its open
season on Luca that he winds a lot, got another technical,
he's you know, doesn't play defense. You know, the it's
now being exposed because every Laker game is under the
(39:23):
microscope always. Okay, where where's this headed with Luca and
the Lakers?
Speaker 14 (39:30):
Well, it's tough, Dan, because we're not privy to the
day to day operations every day in practice the conversation,
So you want to you want to take pause to
that a little bit and try not to evaluate everything
by what you think, you know, and see now optically,
it doesn't look good optically. It was the same thing
in Dallas with with Luca, with his body language at times,
(39:52):
with his persistent to persistence to always complain about files
to the official that's always been there. Now it's been
some other players that have been like that in the
past too, but with Luca now being with the Lakers
as well, expectations it just draws the ear of a
lot of people. Now, keep in mind, this is the
situation too because of the trade situation. The Lakers have
(40:17):
to figure this out with Luca. That was that was
one of the big things when when they the trade
went through, it was like, okay, yes we got the trade,
but the Lakers still got to convince Luca that this
is the ultimate and the final landing spot, you know,
to sign his deal. So how that interaction between he
and JJ he and new management continue to foster itself
(40:38):
is very important to the future of this franchise, okay,
because they put everything all eggs in one basket basically
by going to get Luca. So they got to figure
out a way to make it work. But it doesn't
look good optically with what's going on. I'm not talking
about he and you know JJ having some words on
the sideline. Players and coaches do that all the time.
That's that's nothing new. But partically his body language doesn't
(41:01):
look good.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Does it ever help complaining to an official.
Speaker 14 (41:07):
In your mind as a player, Yes, you know it.
But sometimes you know old school officials, you know, the
earl Stroms of the world, the dig Vveda's, you can
go up and talk to okay, and they'll tell you like, okay,
enough is enough, this is it, this is what's going
to happen, or they'll tell you know, I missed that one.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (41:28):
Now I'm not saying that today's officials don't do it,
but it was a different kind of relationship back then.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Yeah, but Jim talking to an official and whining to
an official, big difference.
Speaker 14 (41:38):
Okay, what about yelling, because Mike yelled at a lot
of officials. Yeah, Magic did, Isaiah did, all the guys
you know, yes, yeah, Kobe.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Did, Yes, Kobe did, Larry did they Yes, Larry.
Speaker 14 (41:51):
Did, yes. So but you're saying whining, and I think
with with Luca it's it's gone overboarding. A lot officials
tired of it, they really are, but they don't tack
him up.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
So if they're tired of it, check them up.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, but he's on the on the precipice of being
suspended with his technicals.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Well, I mean sometimes you got to go to extreme
mad well what not. But you know what now, But
she got a text and he knew it. Okay.
Speaker 14 (42:21):
And but the officials made it a point too with
Rashid that if you continue to do this, boom you're out.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
They don't do that with Luca.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
See the difference you think if they if they say, hey,
one more, you're gone.
Speaker 14 (42:36):
Yeah, tell said Luca, Okay, enough is enough? Okay, one more.
I got what you're saying. You want the file. But
I could call the file on the other end when
you resin and we didn't call it. Okay, I can
do the same thing. Now, how do you want it?
How do how do you want to play this?
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Okay?
Speaker 14 (42:55):
I said, you just got to be raw and honest
with the player, because you got to give certain player
you're gonna give respect to. Then they deserve it now
that you just tell them, like now you're on my
butt for this. But I could have called this a
couple of times down here, and I didn't. Not that
I'm playing favorites, but I'm trying to let the game go.
So it's the same thing on the opposite end. That's
(43:16):
that's old school refereeing right there. That's what that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
So now, as a player, you got to make a decision.
Speaker 14 (43:21):
Okay, do I really need to keep complaining and putting
him in a situation or the officials in a situation
where now they're gonna kick me out or give me
another tech? Now that's on me because they told me
exactly what is going to happen if I continue down
this path.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
It's on me.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Can you make Luca play defense?
Speaker 4 (43:44):
At times? He has?
Speaker 14 (43:46):
But as a player, that's that that goes back to
not only just the coaching staff but his teammates. How
much respect he has to really want to play this
game at the end of the day, Dan, That's that's
all it is. And again I'm not saying, and I
don't think everybody's saying that he has to be the
best defensive player, that he has to be a lockdown defender.
But you got to give the effort. You just can't
(44:06):
lay on the screen. You just can't not run back
after you take a bad shot and not get back
in transition. You cannot not rotate over to take a
charge or step in and help your teammates. That's something individually,
that's something that you know, his teammates got to expect
out of him and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
He has to want to give that to his team.
Speaker 14 (44:28):
I'll play with Steve Nash. Steve probably he'll tell you
he wasn't the best defender, but he gave the effort.
And that's what all teammates want to see, is that,
just give me the effort.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Do you think Steve Nash could guard me?
Speaker 14 (44:41):
Oh, he'll lock you down, Dan, I'm here, get up
underneath you all day long. That one step you got
to the side, he'll take that away. He's sending you
left all day.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
But I'm gonna take him down low.
Speaker 14 (44:51):
So I mean, not the first time that team got
posted up and Steve would be like hell double.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Which Jackson Fox's NBA College basketball analyst, can wemby steal
the MVP?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
You know what?
Speaker 14 (45:09):
That's a that's a great question because of the position
that they're in, right, I don't think he can this year.
I don't think it's his numbers stack up to individually, Okay,
individually to those of SGA, Jokic, Kay Cunningham now here.
Here's the difference too, is that I know a lot
of conversation has been about SGA and about MVP Most
(45:34):
Valuable Player Okay to their team numbers sometimes don't tell
it all. Steve Nash when he won back to back,
Kobe's number on that. Numbers on the back end of
that were better, but Steve's value to the team.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
But that's what it was based on.
Speaker 14 (45:48):
Kobe's value to the team SGA, even though when he
was absent Okase he continued to win. It's a difference
with Wendy when he out of the lineup. That's how
I think they just start to determine MVP. But I
really love Kate what Cage is doing. I mean, unbelievable
(46:09):
job there in Detroit. Honestly, you know, I would love
to see him be rewarded if they have the best record,
because his value to that team is multiplied a lot
by what he does, kind of like with Yo Kitch
at times, even though they weren't ten and six when
he was out. It's something about But I think Wemby
(46:32):
definitely is in the conversation. I don't think he'll even
if they get end up being second second best record,
I still don't think he'll get it this year.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Well, you know, we have that sixty five game threshold,
and if Joker misses one more game, he's out. If
SGA misses a few more games, he's going to be on.
Would you be okay by default that Kate Cunningham, because
he played more than sixty five games, is the MVP, of.
Speaker 14 (46:56):
Course, and that's why you put it in. I think
you know it's I want to ask you too, what
do you think about the sixty five game rule, because
here's my thought on this is that if you're going
to put that rule in, you have to let this
thing play out and have players understand that it is
a consequence. Now, sometimes it's not against it's not their
fault that they get hurt, but this has to be
(47:19):
it has to be a pain point to a lot
of players where they make it so that they are
on the court. So you can't all of a sudden,
after one or two years, just change it because now
it doesn't do anything. If the sixty five game rule
is going to be put into effect, and these are
the number of games that you have to play in
order to receive the awards at the end of the year.
(47:40):
You got to make it stick. You got to make
it a pain point for players that they understand there's
a penalty if I don't it here or can't adhere
to this.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
You can't just all of a sudden change, I.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Know, but in all transparency, I'm the one that brought
it up to the commissioner that I thought that he
needed to have a number. So you had guys who
were going to play hard and if you're going to
be eligible for postseason honors, that you played at least
sixty five games.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
So you did that. Yeah, oh, we appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (48:11):
Now keep in mind the Players Association all of that.
They have to agree to it too. Is not something
that Adam Silf you can to just lay down the
law and say, Okay, this is what we're going to do.
So obviously it was discussed and negotiated and agreed upon,
and I think it needs to stay in place if
that's what they're going to do, to have players understand
(48:32):
this is the threshold on what you must pass in
order to receive awards at the end of the year,
and it has to stick.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I know, we're creeping up to March Madness. Here you've
got Indiana and Ohio State on Saturday. What was worse
that you were in the Elite eight and you lost
in overtime, or that you lost in overtime to Michigan.
Speaker 14 (48:56):
It wasn't the fact that it was Michigan, because you
think about it, at the time, our rival was Indiana.
It wasn't missed. We beat Michigan twice that year. But
it goes back to the nineteen eighty nine Final four. Well, yeah,
final four. It was Illinois Michigan. Illinois that year beat
Michigan twice during the regular season. Michigan won that game
(49:17):
and went to the National Championship, ended up winning. It
just tells you how difficult it is to beat it now.
Them being us being in the same region was kind
of ironic. But when we watched that team play, there
was a different team than when we played earlier in
the year. From the first game to the second game
to where they were at. They matured, they grew, they
got more confident, and we had the onus was on
(49:40):
us because we were the number one seed to win.
No pressure was on Michigan. So yes, it hurt. It
hurt and not just because it was Michigan. It's because
we had a chance to go to a Final four,
to accomplish something that a lot of teams don't get
a chance to. That was more disappointing than actually who
we lost to.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Do you ever bring I see?
Speaker 14 (50:00):
Okay, I still can't watch the game to today because
to this day, Dam, I'm hoping for a different outcome
and for some reason, it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
I think you run it back? Can you get everybody together?
Speaker 6 (50:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Man, that'd be an ugly game. Brother, it'd be an
ugly game.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
But when you run into these Michigan guys, do they
remind you no?
Speaker 14 (50:23):
Because I played, they're some of my best friends. Played
with Juwan in Houston, played with Christian Sacramento. Jimmy King
was a free agent, came down to camp in Dallas.
Ray Jackson and I good friends. Jalen and I worked
out in the summertime, did a lot of stuff. So actually,
when they went to the Final four, what was that
(50:43):
Trey Burtch here two thousand and sixteens, I mean seven,
I forget when they lost to Louisville. You were in
San Antonio. I was there. I was with the group
I was. You know, they're really close friends of mine,
and I respect each each one of them, man, I
mean each one got the great guys. Man, give the
shirt off their back to you.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Great to see you, thank.
Speaker 4 (51:05):
You, Great to see you too. Man. Work on that
post up game. I'm testing.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
I'm not afraid of Steve Nash. I'm not afraid.
Speaker 4 (51:12):
I'm just saying shots, shots taken.
Speaker 2 (51:14):
I'm just telling you I shoot better deeper than he does. Really, yes, yes, okay, yes.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
We'll leave it right there. I'm taking that message to Steve.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
If you don't give it, I will. I'm telling the
country right now, you are Steve Nash. Mid range jumper.
Mid range jumper. Steve is what I called him. You're
not out there. I mean great percentage from three point
right right, just saying mid range jumper, Steve.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
All right, he's going nicky to death.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
They called me Danny deep, Danny deep.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Jim all right, man, have a good one, Jim Jackson Fox,
come man.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
He's not buying any of that.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
He thinks I'm joking. I'm joking. He hopes you're joking.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
I love that, all right, man.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
He thinks I should be joking right now, texting Steve
naw He'll be working Indiana at Ohio State on Saturday
