show SA. Good morning to our radio affiliates around the world,
Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio as well. Edmondton Oilers. They squeak by.
The Canucks advanced to the Western Conference Finals. They'll face
(03:21):
the Stars. This is what I'm looking for today.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now I'm going to try to program ESPN for you,
and I try not to do that because I have
no idea what they're thinking. Anymore. But you have the
Stars in the Western Conference finals. You have the MAVs
in the Western Conference Finals. So here is your topic
bar for the shows today. More pressure on the Cowboys now.
(03:46):
Now the Stars and the MAVs are doing well. Question Mark,
the most popular team now they can't even do that.
One most popular team in Dallas Cowboys the most computer
team in the NFL. But I'm waiting for that. How
do we shoehorn this into get the Cowboys in there?
(04:07):
Or to us contract? Do they extend him Jax contract?
Question Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's there's a.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Couple of different topics each day that you go, how
do we work lebron into this? You know Bronnie's combine
and you know people talking about how well he did.
You know, the number one bet with the basketball draft
is Bronnie will go number one overall. Now, I don't
know how many bets there are when it comes to
(04:35):
the draft, but DraftKings Vegas saying that if you know
a lot of people are betting that Bronnie would go
number one. I don't know what the odds are with that,
and it won't happen, but it's kind of fun to
have that ticket.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, Paul I saw that story and I really thought
it was a joke or a misprint or something like that,
because we're not expert gamblers, but we know the basics
of gambling, and when a bet cannot happen, cannot cash,
you don't make it. I know the odds if you
bet on Bronnie James to be the number one overall
pick must be like one thousand to one. Actually I
got two hundred to one, and one of the bet
(05:09):
websites said twenty two point five percent of all their
bets on the number one pick is Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, but how much money is being bet? I don't
care that you have that many, right, you might do. Hey,
I'm going to bet five dollars, but isn't that ten dollars?
That's giving your money away? Yes, but you do that
when you go to a casino, you eventually give it away.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
True, But when you play a hand of blackjack, you
could play you could just y'all hit hit hit, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you're gonna have that forever that you bet on
Brownie going number one overall. It feels like it's more
of a keepsake than anything else.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Uh So, by the way, the All Rookie Team was
announced in the NBA. Victor win bay Yama was unanimous.
Chet Holmgren in his second year is on the All
Rookie team. If you're Chet Holmgren, do you want to
be on the All Rookie team in your second year?
Because he couldn't play his first year and my thought is, yeah,
he might have incentives in his contract if he made
(06:02):
All Rookie Team that he got something. So he basically
had a gap year when he was hurt and he
played really well this year. So he's part of the
All Rookie Team with Victor Wembayana. Congratulations Chad Holmgreen, Scotti
Scheffler has a court date. It'll be June third, and
tonight Pacers at the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's game one.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It's the Eastern Conference Finals, and now the pressure gets
ratcheted up. Playoffs are missing a lot of familiar faces
when you think about it, so no Lebron, no Steph,
no KD, no Joker, and the lack of former champs
feels like there's even more pressure building in Boston and
rightfully so, this has been like a half a decade
(06:45):
here that they've been flirting with winning a title in
the Eastern Conference Finals going to the NBA Finals. The
team lost to the Warriors in twenty twenty two in
the finals. Twenty twenty three lost to the Miami Heat
in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And now here we are. Now you got your great chance.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
DraftKings currently has Boston as a heavy favor to win
the title. So after years of underperforming in the postseason,
no better opportunity than this.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And I was looking back on some of the numbers here.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Jalen Brown twenty twenty three Eastern Conference Finals, he shot
seventeen percent from three point range in the series against
the Miami heam scored under twenty points in four out
of the seven games. Jason Tatum twenty twenty two NBA Finals.
Scored twelve points in Game one against the Warriors. He
shot seventeen percent, scored thirteen in Game six, shot thirty
(07:39):
three percent from the field. Now, both players have played
well in the playoffs so far. Jalen Brown, I think
is making sixty million dollars a year. Hey, he signed
that three hundred million dollar contract. We should expect championships
out of them.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And Jason Tatum, I know people keep trying to shoehorn
him in and he could be the face of the NBA.
I don't think he wants to be the face of
the NBA. I think he just is a really good player.
But we've seen him get a little tight when you know,
the games get bigger, spotlight gets a little bit brighter.
They should win. They've had nothing in their way. The
(08:23):
Heat were banged up with Jimmy Butler, there's no Yiannis,
Joe Ellenbiid was banged up. You know, even the Knicks,
if they had gotten there, they would have been banged up.
You're facing a pacer team that most people don't realize
who they are and if they're that good, and now
you don't have the joker on the other end, no Lebron,
no steph you're gonna have Anthony Edwards or Luca So
(08:47):
no stars, then no excuses. They should win and you
start And we were trying to think of this yesterday.
When's the last time a team had to win a
championship like there was no uses. You were expected to
win that championship. And it doesn't happen very often because
there's always the possibility of what if, what if that
(09:09):
team gets hot what if somebody gets injured? But how
many times in recent sports history? And I brought up
the Dodgers. I brought up the Dodgers a couple of
years ago. It was a relief that they won the title.
The Atlanta Braves back in the mid nineties, they won
a title. It was a relief because they had been
there so many times. I don't know if the Bulls
(09:31):
like the Bulls, I never felt like there was pressure
that they had to win. I just thought they're going
to win. I never ever go, wow, they better win.
Never thought that for a moment. Yeah, Marv, what about
the Pistons? Would Isaiah Thomas?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Was that a sire relief for those guys because they
were so close with the Celtics and then losing to
next year against the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Was that a sire relief maybe for them? I guess
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But like they were going through some pretty tough teams there,
you know, going through the Boston Celtics, and that Celtic
team one of the greatest of all time, and then
they finally beat them. Then they they had their little
window and then all of a sudden, Mike came along
and then there was a new bully on the block.
But I don't know if San Antonio, where I go,
(10:19):
you gotta win, unless it was nineteen ninety nine when
they faced the Knicks and no Patrick Ewing. But even then,
I don't remember that there was no build up. There's
been a build up for five or six years with
this Boston team, and because of the expectation level in Boston.
You know, Celtic fans expect their team to play for
a championship or win a championship. But I don't know
(10:42):
if I remember a team that hadn't won a title.
I mean, can you imagine if they don't win a
title this year? But I mean they had their young core,
but in their deep they play defense. I mean, they're
statistically one of the better teams in recent NBA history.
(11:03):
Top five offense, top five defense. You got a couple
of stars, or they're paid like stars. Here's here's the
highest paid players in the postseason. Only one of the
top fifteen highest paid players in the NBA remains in
the postseason. Steph's out, embiid Lebron Joker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant,
(11:29):
Dame Lillard, Sorry, Jannis Kawhi, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Clay, Rudy,
and the Goberts. Fred van Vliet. Fred van Vliet makes
forty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
But the Yeah, so Rudy Gobert makes forty one mil.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, Anthony Davis, I'll teach you kids out there,
gets tall.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yes, play basketball.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So you have Jalen Brown and uh, well Tatum's up
there too. So this is according to Uh, let's see
the NBA. Do you have Tatum's numbers?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
They're pulling Tatum and Brown for the Celtics. They're starting
to escalate, like they're making about thirty eight thirty nine four,
so they're a bargain and in two years they're gonna
be making fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, So Rudy Gobert is still in the playoffs. He's
the one out of the fifteen. Man, you could win
some money if you said, out of all of the
top fifteen paid players in the NBA, the one player
who's still in the postseason, I wouldn't have guessed Rudy Gobert.
That's why when we look at Minnesota, we're not fair
to the roster because we go man aunt man's doing
(12:45):
it all by himself.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And I go, no, he's not Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You gave up five first round draft picks to Utah
to get him, and he's won his fourth defensive place,
so he's going into the Hall of Fame. And then
you got Karl Anthony Towns who's been in All Star
and according to him, he's changed the game and he
once scored sixty points in the game. And then you
(13:08):
got nas Reed, who's the sixth Man of the Year.
Like you, you had Mike Conley's a veteran, been around thirty.
You know, he's thirty five years of age. So it's
not just Anthony Edwards. If it was just Anthony Edwards,
they wouldn't have beaten Denver in Game seven. They have
a pretty good roster there, and now they get to
hook up with Luca.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
All right, seeing what's pole question today? I hour one.
We got a couple options for you.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Right, Let's see, we could go with, uh, it's Chet
holmgrena rookie, but you've already.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But even on that one, even when each Ero came over,
I think he was twenty six, he won the Rookie
of the Year and he won MVP, And I'm like,
I'm okay with that. Back then, we didn't know how
good Japanese players were. I think there were some curiosities,
and it felt like there were a couple of pitchers
that were like, okay, you know, all right, they got
(13:59):
some decent over there, and then each yearro came over
and became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, Paul, Okay, here's the reason Chet Holmgren's not a rookie.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Let's say you're doing play by play for an NBA
game this year and you had Oklahoma City and you're
with the Van Gundys, and you said, what a great
night by the rookie Chet Holmgren. Would you say that
on air?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Well, he is a rookie.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Would you say it on the air?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't think you would. You're a pro broadcaster, and
you go, you wouldn't consider him a rookie.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
A rookie sensation.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Look at this rookie tearing up the NBA, assuming chet
Holmgren was having at huge night. You wouldn't say that
because he's.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Not a rookie.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
His rookie year didn't work out, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
But do you have to play for something to signify
your rookie season.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It was his rookie contract as far as like the
NBA is concerned, his second year of his contract. He's
not a rookie, and I think it's unfair to their
actual rookies. I'm pro Chet Holmgren. I love me some check,
but he not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now, this goes back to high school, Paul, where you
said that he was not going to be successful. You
watched him play, You came in here and you trashed
Chet Holmgren said. The record will show you're not a
chat hoolmegreun fan unless you've become one. But it sounds
like you haven't because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was anti. I thought he was too skinny to last.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
See now all of a sudden, here we go. But
are you.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Still a player if you did not play at all?
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Does a year that you don't play actually count?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
No, he was paid by the league. He was working
at the facility. Okay, how about we who thinks Chet
Holmgren is a rookie. There's nobody else arguing this today,
but that's what makes this show so great.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So let's have Chet on and go. Let's welcome the
rookie sensation.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Chet, how are you man, Todd? Do you think Chet
Holmgren is a rookie? I am fine him being considered
a no counter.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, Marvin, Marvin. Yeah, he's a red shirt, red shirt freshman,
red shirt rookie.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Okay, let's say, uh arch Manning red shirted his freshman year, right,
and he comes back for a sophomore year of Texas yea.
And when he gets home from his sophomore year of school,
but his parents go, how is your freshman year?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's a sophomore year, but it would be his, but
they I don't think they would say that when they
greeted him.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I know, so exactly because he's a freshman. So Johnny
Manziel won the Heisman. They say he's the first freshman
to ever win the Heisman Trophy. But he wasn't a freshman.
He was a red shirt fres shirt freshman, right, so
he still they don't say he was a sophomore. Academically Okay,
probably academically, yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Then we need a designation for someone who's a second
year rookie, red shirt rookie or whatever maybe called, because
no one would.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We want to get a hold of somebody at the
NBA home office because they love hearing from us.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Really early in the morning.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Send these emails as soon as.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
They get in.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
So imagine, you know, you got Tommy who's showing up.
You just walked in at nine o two, and he's
sitting down having his coffee, having a donut.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
And you're going, wait, I got an email from Todd Fritz.
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Uh, why is ched Holman considered a rookie?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin right, he he won Rookie of
the Year in his second year. Where was your outrage then, Paul?
You had to sit me down. Yeah, Paul, it's okay, No,
he's not a rookie. Let me take a break and
we'll settle on a poll question today. We're off to
(17:45):
a flying start, all right, We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 3 (18:01):
With Tony Fusco.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
You know, as the host of the number one rated
Paully and Tony Fusco show. We get tons and tons
of fan mail every day.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Piles of it.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
In fact, Tony, why don't you open up one of
those letters right now and read what's inside.
Speaker 12 (18:12):
Hey, listen to this, Dear Paulie and Tony, your sports
takes the dumbest and most terribly that.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Wait, open this other one.
Speaker 12 (18:20):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you suck more than anyone.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Wait, try this one.
Speaker 12 (18:25):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you guys are the absolute best.
There you go, coming up with the stupidest take.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Forget it.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco Show on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, yep, it's the topic everybody's talking about today. Should
Cheed Holmgren be listed as a rookie? He's on the
first team All Rookie squad for the NBA. Paulie argues no,
and Ben Simmons didn't he sit out a year he
won the Rookie of the Year. Blake Griffin did this,
(19:00):
sat out a year injured, then won Rookie of the Year.
And now chet Holmgren? What other evidence?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know our great partners at Panini, the cards, the
trading cards. I looked up. There's a bunch of twenty
two to twenty three chet Holmgren rookie cards, and I
looked at the twenty three twenty four chet Holmgren cards.
They no longer say rookie on them. They're just cards
because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
We have an email into Panini to see if they
actually cover second year rookie cards rookies, awaiting their response.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Also, Dan, this is not a victimist crime and chet Holmgren.
Someone said that he's probably has a bonus in his
contract and he's all rookie. Yeah, sure, good for him.
I'll bet you that all the other people who finished
second team all rookie this year, like Derek Lively and
Men Thompson, et cetera, et cetera, they probably had bonuses
in their contract and he took one of their spots.
Not a victims. There's victims here, Dan, there's victims.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Okay, Well, they they were getting ahead of the sea
in with chet Holmgren, and then they put out the
rookie card his first year, right, and then he wasn't
able to play. Therefore he's still a rookie.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
He's a rookie this year when his rookie card came
out last year. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh the outrage.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, how do you think it would work in the
NFL if a top draft pick quarterback didn't play a
snap and then played the like Mahomes he played one
game his rookie years and then the next year he
won MVP. If he didn't take a snap, would he
have been eligible for Rookie.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Of the Year. I'm gonna say no.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
So two sports, two different rules.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
He did suit up, and he was on the sidelines,
and he was capable of playing chet Holmgren couldn't suit up.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Well, he could suit up, but he couldn't play. Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The least amount of snaps taken by a rookie quarterback
that I could find taken in the first round was
Philip Rivers his first year in San Diego. Everys sat
behind breeze.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
He took eight snaps eight eight. He had eight attempts,
so he played out sparingly in a couple of games.
I wonder if he sat that entire year, would he
have been considered a rookie stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't know if you have that in the NFL.
I don't think so because he's not injured. I think
if you're injured. You didn't at least suit up. Then
they're in lies the rub Fritzie, do you have emails
into the NBA?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Of course we do.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Okay, they're gonna love us today, they're gonna love us.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
What do you think the collective reaction is from any
league office and they see from the desk of Todd
fritz pop up. Well, they might emails, you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They may print those out and post those just around
the office. Yeah, oh yeah, we got another. Hey we
can add to the collection. Fritzy asked about this.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
What's all right? He's considered a rookie.
Speaker 13 (21:46):
Let it go.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I'm gonna get something like that. What are you guys
trying to figure out? What are you trying to stir
up something? Is it a slow news day?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Get you Benny.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
A b It's what I imagine every reaction to be
when Todd sent someone in an email, I.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Can't get your dextra show. Yes I can't. Those guys
are got by Annie and you want you.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Want, well, he'll do it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So so Jay Horowitz used to be the PR guy
with the Mets long time for years, years, and and
I I first met him in the early eighties when
I was out doing stories on the Mets, and of
course you had Doc Gooden, Manor and Strawberry and you
would go, hey, Jay, you know we're doing a feature.
(22:37):
I was working at CNN at the time. Hey can
I get Doc. I can't get you, donc I can't
get to you know, I could get you bennyag Bayghana,
And I go, but I I'm doing a feature on
Dwight Gooden. And he was trying to give me all
these I give you a Tim Tuffell and I go, no,
I'm doing a feature on Doc Gooden. And he and
(23:00):
then if I became friends with Doc's dad, that's the
only way I got to do a feature, because I said, Jay,
I talked to Doc's dad and he said that he's
fine with Doc doing an interview.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Yes, Tom standing right outside the Metz locker, ones peering in,
and I said, how a co went Batman Mcgrenold and
I could see them in the locker.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They're not even here.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
You that's that's not going to happen. Then I'm in
here shelter.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Adam Silver says he has no plans. Now this is
this is twenty nineteen, So Adam Silver talked to the
Mothership and he was asked about players who were eligible.
So if you sat out their true rookie year, would
they remain eligible for Rookie of the Year. And Adam
(23:44):
Silver told the Mothership that there's not We have a
rule in place and we've had it there for some
time and they're not going to change this. A league
source told ESPN the NBA might be interested in adopting
a rookie designation similar to that of Major League Baseball,
where if a player competes in minimal games his rookie
(24:05):
season due to injury, he would qualify for Rookie of
the Year the next season. Adam Silver says he's not
had any conversation about that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yes, Paul, this was twenty eighteen. Ben Simmons won Rookie
the Year in his second year in the NBA. Donovan
Mitchell actually went to bat for himself on social media
and said, you're not a rookie, why are you eligible
for this reward ard and suggested he recuse himself, which
Ben Simmons didn't do the first time. He didn't recuse himself,
but the commission was asked multiple times, would you change
(24:36):
He said, it's something I would I'm open to change,
but not something that's on the table. Yeah, we should
bring it back.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
This is kind of awesome, though. Do you know the
minimum threshold or maybe it's maximum actually of at bats
to be considered a rookie in baseball?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Okay, let's guess, all right, So the minimum.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
That there are two thresholds to be considered. You're considered
a rookie unless you cross these two threshold and one
of them is at batskay, the other is innings pitched
in a major league seasons.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, how about it bats, Todd, what's the line of
demarcation where you're no longer a rookie?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Twenty five at bats?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Twenty five? All right, Marvin ten Paully forty nine at bats.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'm gonna go seventy five at bats.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
For two of the guesses. You could add one hundred
and still be considered a rookie. It's one hundred and
thirty at bats. Once you hit one hundred and thirty
at bats, you're then considered no longer a rookie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, you want to try innings pitched?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay, innings pitched, Marvin, how about that innings pitched and
you're no longer a rookie thirty five, Paulie fifty nine,
fifty Wait, we were going to say fifty ye two.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
No, sorry, Paul said it first though, so he wents thirty.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, so I think on that, so.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You could be a closer pitch forty eight innings as
a rookie and then you're a rookie the next year.
I guess that's wild.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, how about that. I don't know what we solved there.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
It's fun.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
That's baseball, Yeah, fun trivia, little known rule, I guess.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Okay, have we heard from the NBA yet? God?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Not just I haven't heard from Panini yet either. Okay,
it's going to keep updating that.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes, yeah, because do they have a second rookie card?
Does just Chat Holmgren have two years of rookie cards
when they do an all rookie team?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Uh spectacular you know what I mean, where it's all
shiny and like, you know, lasers and stuff like that.
Pannini like, yeah, these are this this is the five
first team All rookie it's gonna be Chet Holmgren on there.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, I'm looking all of Chet's cards as a rookie here,
the PRISM cards here. Okay, we'll work on that. Shawn
and Oregon. Good morning, Sean. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (27:06):
Hey, I just wanted to bring up that our vetas
a Bonus was drafted by in Portland Trible as Is
nineteen eighty six, and he made the NBAL rookie team
in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Well, but that was his first year in the league though, correct.
He had come over from Russia.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Yeah, after he had a gold medal for him basketball.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, Our Vita Sabonis came over at age thirty one,
and I remember meeting him in Atlanta. The Hawks were
thinking of drafting him, and I met him at the airport.
It was top secret and I was at CNN and
they sent me out to the airport and I was
(27:48):
going to do an interview with our Vitas Sabonis, or
at least an interpreter. And I remember he got off
the plane and he walked in and he barely got
in the door. He's one of the He's a Yao
ming type of guy. He was huge, and then of
course he stayed in the Soviet Union and then went
to Portland. He was a wonderful player, but he had
(28:09):
bad knees, but wonderful as far as one of the
best passing big men I ever saw great touch as well.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
And his son, of course, is killing it in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Uh, Jesse in Atlanta, Hey, Jess, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (28:23):
Hey guys love the show a long time, not the
first time, but many times. Side of the theory, you know,
I know we weren't nominated this year for a sports seme,
and I kind of put two and two together and
I was like, maybe does sports semis have a new
rule where like the NBA, if you're not on for
so much time, then you know you can be disqualified
(28:44):
as a starter. So maybe because we considered the dance
and you know, of course mister Dan Patrick as a
team because of first of these medical absences, did he
get us disqualified this year? And he shouldn't we look
about making a trade up the roster.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Nope, I this is my team right here, this is
our starting five. It's us for better for worse. Todd,
you didn't miss that much time?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
He might be referred to number number of years back.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
There was a.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Number of years A number of years back.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Yeah, there was. There was a few years back where
I had a miss significant time in the hospital, but
thank god, not to recently. I might have missed a
day or two here and there, but not to the
effet why we would lose the sports.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Me, Well, you've taken a Friday off when you're feelings
I was on my yacht. You took You took friday
off when your feelings were hurt about being relegated?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You did?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Was that?
Speaker 10 (29:39):
And my kid graduated?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah? In that in that order, I was mainly.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Hurt, and then I figured I should probably attend my
kid's college graduation.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
To be fair to Todd whenever he's away from We're
never fair to Todd whenever he's away from the show
for any reason. His contributions to the show triple.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
When you're not here, you probably contribute more because you're
sending emails, ideas, pull questions, text messages, so you're you're involved.
Speaker 10 (30:08):
And maybe some of the biggest guys I've ever booked
to work from my hospital bed with an IVY in
my own.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
For some strangers, I'm not even joking.
Speaker 10 (30:15):
I'm if I'm just sitting there relaxing, and I can't
you don't drink anything.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I know.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
I'm nothing to do but lay there and just do
some work to not feel sorry for myself.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
How about a round of applause for working from his
hospital bed. Woman Ivy nearly died one of our incredible moments. There,
you're the willis Read of Bookers named in this world.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Worst thing. The doctors are whispering about your outside and
you can only hear parts of what are they gonna
do to me?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What the X ratio?
Speaker 10 (30:43):
Can't really hear?
Speaker 13 (30:43):
What this?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Andrew in Washington, Andrew, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Third morning, Dan, Daned, thanks for taking my call. That's amazing, Dan.
You have two willis Reads on your team. You have
the willis Read of Bookers and the willis Read.
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Of the board.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Friday.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yep, yeah, that's amazing. So I have a.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Stat of the day that pertains the Indiana Pacers and
the Boston Celtics. So I look back, and the Indiana Pacers,
we all know about their shooting percentage leaves the NBA,
their scoring leads the NBA. But I look back, and
here's the stat is that if the Indiana Pacers win
the rebounding margin, they win the playoff game. So seven
out of their eight wins in every game in the
(31:22):
New York Series, they have won the rebounding margin against
their opponents. So I believe that if they don't win
the rebounding margin, they won't win against Boston.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
All right. Stat of the Day? Whoa how stant of
the day?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Stant of to day, statuta day stand outa day.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
This is the state of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program Points spread tonight,
the Celtics are giving ten to the Pacers, ten to
the Pacers. In case you're wondering over under Jason Tatum
twenty nine and a half, Jalen Brown twenty four and
a half, would you just take the Pacers to win
(32:09):
out right tonight? Like just take the money line, just
say let's you know what, Let's see if there's some
momentum here Celtics maybe get a little tight there.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
What do you think, Mark? I'm with you, an TJ.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Mcconnald's gonna win a great He's gonna win the great
and grind battle against Peyton Prichard.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Man. The favorites TJ. McConnell, Payton, Patrick Richard. I love it.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
I love those two guys because everyone's like, oh, grit
and grind. Those guys, I'm sure were five star recruits
coming out of high school and with the big time programs,
You're like, oh, these guys fought.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
They started from the bottom. Get out of here.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
It's like hoosiers two.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
These guys started in the mail room, right, They worked
their way up to be the.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I'm sure ettributor. I'm sure one of those guys was
probably McDonald's all American, I'm certain of it. Talking about
great and grind. They started from the bottom.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Please, why are you ruining the great white hope? Here
the story?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Okay, yeah, come on, you gotta follow its formulaic.
Speaker 7 (33:07):

By the way, when you see those Edmonton Oiler uniforms,
they're awesome. But when you have success, and they had
a lot of success, you didn't change your uniform like
they're playing against Vancouver. Vancouver's changed its uniforms drastically feels
(34:54):
like every decade they've changed it. But Edmonton has Stanley
Cups and they have have Gretzky and you see those
uniforms and you go, you can't improve upon those. You know,
the Canadians don't change their uniform the maple Leafs, even
though maple Leafs haven't had success in a long time.
But there's certain like when do you have a really
(35:16):
successful franchise and you change your uniforms? And I was
wondering about this because Cowboys stay the same, Packers stay
now you have throwbacks, but Steelers, Raiders, Dodgers, you know
your main uniform, you don't change it. Yankees you don't
change it. And I was wondering because a lot of
(35:37):
times a team will change its look because they're trying
to change their identity. Yeah, they're trying to move on
from something now that never existed. Where are the new Padres?
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Yes, Tom, I think someone's going to break the jinks
of how horrible they are, or we have to find
a way to make some money, so let's get some
new jerseys and stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, Pauli, I would say the example is the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers with the orange and white or the creamskull white.
Back in the seventies, remember when they changed the pewter
in that deep red the Warren sap nerk Brooks era,
that didn't look anything like the Buccaneers. They went a
tile a complete different direction. That's like Vancouver, where there
we didn't do anything well in this uniform. Let's completely
(36:18):
change it.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
And Vancouver was in the Stanley Cup finals years ago.
In fact, there's a documentary about that that day that
they lost in the Stanley Cup Final. And I was
in Vancouver and I remember leaving the building and it
was like the movie Escaped from New York where there
was a lot of stuff going on there. Fires, I mean,
(36:42):
it was chaos. Now, I remember, I'm with Mike Millberry.
He's the guy you want to be with if there
could be a fight or there could be you know,
some navigating there to get through some trouble, because Millberry
he doesn't suffer fools gladly. I mean, he's like, all right,
let's go, and I'm like, all right, I'm following you,
(37:03):
and a little nervous there. Beautiful city. But I think
there's a documentary on that night. Yeah, Pauline, you.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Know one team that was really good, the Denver Broncos
in the seventies and eighties, and they changed pretty drastically
late in the lwayh days to that they were the
traditional uniform. They changed pretty not color wise, but the
total feel of it. Yeah, that's a big chance.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Oh you know what.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
To Paul's point, the Houston Rockets, they won those titles
with just the regular red uniforms. Then they went to
the Rockets red glare uniform with the blue and it
was really loud and they had an actual rocket on
a uniform.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
After the Akima Laijahwan titles.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Uh, the Bulls, the Bulls went like black uniforms during
Mike's career.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
There sell Moore jerseys.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah yeah, but I understood the business side of that.
But the Lakers have stayed the Lakers Celtics for the
most part, I think, I mean, you'll have that third uniform,
you have home and road and then a third or
maybe a fourth with a throwback in there as well.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
But you know, for the most most part, there's Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
When I when I look at Edmonton, I always think
of Retzki, yes, Mark, and.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
There's teams that haven't had a ton of success. But
the uniforms are just so beautiful. You never change them.
The Mariners like when they went away from the blue
and yellow to the teal in navy blue. The ken
Griffy a rod never changed.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
No, that's true.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Never.
Speaker 14 (38:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What do Vancouver players do to one another after a
big win?
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Todd? They give each other Canucks.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Wow, isn't it. That's kind of sad that we're on
the same level.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
There is awesome, Yes, it's awesome. Yeah, that's good. Aiden
in Utah, Hey, do you just do to your brand?
Speaker 10 (38:56):
I know ques question?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Hey, Aidan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Hey man, thanks for calling back. I got a credit
proposal for Todd Fritz. Oh okay, so Todd Fritz and
I'm gonna try to think. I can't come up with
whatever would be equivalent of two draft picks, and you're
gonna trade all that for Nick Wright. I feel like
(39:24):
you would, really, I feel like you would get you
over the edge and and and get you that sports Sammy.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
All right, well, thank you, Aiden.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I'm not trading Todd, even if I could secure the
rights to Nick right.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Not gonna do that now. If you throw in one
of his guys, on his show, you know, talking, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
But that's like drafting Michael Pennox when we have Kirk Cousins.
We have an established quarterback, and you're gonna muckle things
up with another host.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah maybe if you're throwing Joey Taylor and Nick Wright,
you know, maybe we could make something work there.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
But you're not. You're not on the trade. That's good
to hear you're not.
Speaker 10 (40:02):
Because I would take that extremely well.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I know him, with two hours left in their show
and a long ride home, you would do really well
with that topic.
Speaker 3 (40:12):

team in the NFL. But I'm waiting for that. How
do we shoehorn this into get the Cowboys in there?
(04:07):
Or to us contract? Do they extend him Jax contract?
Question Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's there's a.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Couple of different topics each day that you go, how
do we work lebron into this? You know Bronnie's combine
and you know people talking about how well he did.
You know, the number one bet with the basketball draft
is Bronnie will go number one overall. Now, I don't
know how many bets there are when it comes to
(04:35):
the draft, but DraftKings Vegas saying that if you know
a lot of people are betting that Bronnie would go
number one. I don't know what the odds are with that,
and it won't happen, but it's kind of fun to
have that ticket.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, Paul I saw that story and I really thought
it was a joke or a misprint or something like that,
because we're not expert gamblers, but we know the basics
of gambling, and when a bet cannot happen, cannot cash,
you don't make it. I know the odds if you
bet on Bronnie James to be the number one overall
pick must be like one thousand to one. Actually I
got two hundred to one, and one of the bet
(05:09):
websites said twenty two point five percent of all their
bets on the number one pick is Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, but how much money is being bet? I don't
care that you have that many, right, you might do. Hey,
I'm going to bet five dollars, but isn't that ten dollars?
That's giving your money away? Yes, but you do that
when you go to a casino, you eventually give it away.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
True, But when you play a hand of blackjack, you
could play you could just y'all hit hit hit, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you're gonna have that forever that you bet on
Brownie going number one overall. It feels like it's more
of a keepsake than anything else.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Uh So, by the way, the All Rookie Team was
announced in the NBA. Victor win bay Yama was unanimous.
Chet Holmgren in his second year is on the All
Rookie team. If you're Chet Holmgren, do you want to
be on the All Rookie team in your second year?
Because he couldn't play his first year and my thought is, yeah,
he might have incentives in his contract if he made
(06:02):
All Rookie Team that he got something. So he basically
had a gap year when he was hurt and he
played really well this year. So he's part of the
All Rookie Team with Victor Wembayana. Congratulations Chad Holmgreen, Scotti
Scheffler has a court date. It'll be June third, and
tonight Pacers at the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's game one.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It's the Eastern Conference Finals, and now the pressure gets
ratcheted up. Playoffs are missing a lot of familiar faces
when you think about it, so no Lebron, no Steph,
no KD, no Joker, and the lack of former champs
feels like there's even more pressure building in Boston and
rightfully so, this has been like a half a decade
(06:45):
here that they've been flirting with winning a title in
the Eastern Conference Finals going to the NBA Finals. The
team lost to the Warriors in twenty twenty two in
the finals. Twenty twenty three lost to the Miami Heat
in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And now here we are. Now you got your great chance.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
DraftKings currently has Boston as a heavy favor to win
the title. So after years of underperforming in the postseason,
no better opportunity than this.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And I was looking back on some of the numbers here.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Jalen Brown twenty twenty three Eastern Conference Finals, he shot
seventeen percent from three point range in the series against
the Miami heam scored under twenty points in four out
of the seven games. Jason Tatum twenty twenty two NBA Finals.
Scored twelve points in Game one against the Warriors. He
shot seventeen percent, scored thirteen in Game six, shot thirty
(07:39):
three percent from the field. Now, both players have played
well in the playoffs so far. Jalen Brown, I think
is making sixty million dollars a year. Hey, he signed
that three hundred million dollar contract. We should expect championships
out of them.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And Jason Tatum, I know people keep trying to shoehorn
him in and he could be the face of the NBA.
I don't think he wants to be the face of
the NBA. I think he just is a really good player.
But we've seen him get a little tight when you know,
the games get bigger, spotlight gets a little bit brighter.
They should win. They've had nothing in their way. The
(08:23):
Heat were banged up with Jimmy Butler, there's no Yiannis,
Joe Ellenbiid was banged up. You know, even the Knicks,
if they had gotten there, they would have been banged up.
You're facing a pacer team that most people don't realize
who they are and if they're that good, and now
you don't have the joker on the other end, no Lebron,
no steph you're gonna have Anthony Edwards or Luca So
(08:47):
no stars, then no excuses. They should win and you
start And we were trying to think of this yesterday.
When's the last time a team had to win a
championship like there was no uses. You were expected to
win that championship. And it doesn't happen very often because
there's always the possibility of what if, what if that
(09:09):
team gets hot what if somebody gets injured? But how
many times in recent sports history? And I brought up
the Dodgers. I brought up the Dodgers a couple of
years ago. It was a relief that they won the title.
The Atlanta Braves back in the mid nineties, they won
a title. It was a relief because they had been
there so many times. I don't know if the Bulls
(09:31):
like the Bulls, I never felt like there was pressure
that they had to win. I just thought they're going
to win. I never ever go, wow, they better win.
Never thought that for a moment. Yeah, Marv, what about
the Pistons? Would Isaiah Thomas?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Was that a sire relief for those guys because they
were so close with the Celtics and then losing to
next year against the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Was that a sire relief maybe for them? I guess
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But like they were going through some pretty tough teams there,
you know, going through the Boston Celtics, and that Celtic
team one of the greatest of all time, and then
they finally beat them. Then they they had their little
window and then all of a sudden, Mike came along
and then there was a new bully on the block.
But I don't know if San Antonio, where I go,
(10:19):
you gotta win, unless it was nineteen ninety nine when
they faced the Knicks and no Patrick Ewing. But even then,
I don't remember that there was no build up. There's
been a build up for five or six years with
this Boston team, and because of the expectation level in Boston.
You know, Celtic fans expect their team to play for
a championship or win a championship. But I don't know
(10:42):
if I remember a team that hadn't won a title.
I mean, can you imagine if they don't win a
title this year? But I mean they had their young core,
but in their deep they play defense. I mean, they're
statistically one of the better teams in recent NBA history.
(11:03):
Top five offense, top five defense. You got a couple
of stars, or they're paid like stars. Here's here's the
highest paid players in the postseason. Only one of the
top fifteen highest paid players in the NBA remains in
the postseason. Steph's out, embiid Lebron Joker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant,
(11:29):
Dame Lillard, Sorry, Jannis Kawhi, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Clay, Rudy,
and the Goberts. Fred van Vliet. Fred van Vliet makes
forty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
But the Yeah, so Rudy Gobert makes forty one mil.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, Anthony Davis, I'll teach you kids out there,
gets tall.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yes, play basketball.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So you have Jalen Brown and uh, well Tatum's up
there too. So this is according to Uh, let's see
the NBA. Do you have Tatum's numbers?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
They're pulling Tatum and Brown for the Celtics. They're starting
to escalate, like they're making about thirty eight thirty nine four,
so they're a bargain and in two years they're gonna
be making fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, So Rudy Gobert is still in the playoffs. He's
the one out of the fifteen. Man, you could win
some money if you said, out of all of the
top fifteen paid players in the NBA, the one player
who's still in the postseason, I wouldn't have guessed Rudy Gobert.
That's why when we look at Minnesota, we're not fair
to the roster because we go man aunt man's doing
(12:45):
it all by himself.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And I go, no, he's not Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You gave up five first round draft picks to Utah
to get him, and he's won his fourth defensive place,
so he's going into the Hall of Fame. And then
you got Karl Anthony Towns who's been in All Star
and according to him, he's changed the game and he
once scored sixty points in the game. And then you
(13:08):
got nas Reed, who's the sixth Man of the Year.
Like you, you had Mike Conley's a veteran, been around thirty.
You know, he's thirty five years of age. So it's
not just Anthony Edwards. If it was just Anthony Edwards,
they wouldn't have beaten Denver in Game seven. They have
a pretty good roster there, and now they get to
hook up with Luca.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
All right, seeing what's pole question today? I hour one.
We got a couple options for you.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Right, Let's see, we could go with, uh, it's Chet
holmgrena rookie, but you've already.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
But even on that one, even when each Ero came over,
I think he was twenty six, he won the Rookie
of the Year and he won MVP, And I'm like,
I'm okay with that. Back then, we didn't know how
good Japanese players were. I think there were some curiosities,
and it felt like there were a couple of pitchers
that were like, okay, you know, all right, they got
(13:59):
some decent over there, and then each yearro came over
and became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, Paul, Okay, here's the reason Chet Holmgren's not a rookie.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Let's say you're doing play by play for an NBA
game this year and you had Oklahoma City and you're
with the Van Gundys, and you said, what a great
night by the rookie Chet Holmgren. Would you say that
on air?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Well, he is a rookie.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Would you say it on the air?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't think you would. You're a pro broadcaster, and
you go, you wouldn't consider him a rookie.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
A rookie sensation.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Look at this rookie tearing up the NBA, assuming chet
Holmgren was having at huge night. You wouldn't say that
because he's.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Not a rookie.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
His rookie year didn't work out, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
But do you have to play for something to signify
your rookie season.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It was his rookie contract as far as like the
NBA is concerned, his second year of his contract. He's
not a rookie, and I think it's unfair to their
actual rookies. I'm pro Chet Holmgren. I love me some check,
but he not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now, this goes back to high school, Paul, where you
said that he was not going to be successful. You
watched him play, You came in here and you trashed
Chet Holmgren said. The record will show you're not a
chat hoolmegreun fan unless you've become one. But it sounds
like you haven't because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was anti. I thought he was too skinny to last.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
See now all of a sudden, here we go. But
are you.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Still a player if you did not play at all?
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Does a year that you don't play actually count?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
No, he was paid by the league. He was working
at the facility. Okay, how about we who thinks Chet
Holmgren is a rookie. There's nobody else arguing this today,
but that's what makes this show so great.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So let's have Chet on and go. Let's welcome the
rookie sensation.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Chet, how are you man, Todd? Do you think Chet
Holmgren is a rookie? I am fine him being considered
a no counter.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, Marvin, Marvin. Yeah, he's a red shirt, red shirt freshman,
red shirt rookie.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Okay, let's say, uh arch Manning red shirted his freshman year, right,
and he comes back for a sophomore year of Texas yea.
And when he gets home from his sophomore year of school,
but his parents go, how is your freshman year?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's a sophomore year, but it would be his, but
they I don't think they would say that when they
greeted him.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I know, so exactly because he's a freshman. So Johnny
Manziel won the Heisman. They say he's the first freshman
to ever win the Heisman Trophy. But he wasn't a freshman.
He was a red shirt fres shirt freshman, right, so
he still they don't say he was a sophomore. Academically Okay,
probably academically, yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Then we need a designation for someone who's a second
year rookie, red shirt rookie or whatever maybe called, because
no one would.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We want to get a hold of somebody at the
NBA home office because they love hearing from us.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Really early in the morning.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Send these emails as soon as.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
They get in.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
So imagine, you know, you got Tommy who's showing up.
You just walked in at nine o two, and he's
sitting down having his coffee, having a donut.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
And you're going, wait, I got an email from Todd Fritz.
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Uh, why is ched Holman considered a rookie?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin right, he he won Rookie of
the Year in his second year. Where was your outrage then, Paul?
You had to sit me down. Yeah, Paul, it's okay, No,
he's not a rookie. Let me take a break and
we'll settle on a poll question today. We're off to
(17:45):
a flying start, all right, We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 3 (18:01):
With Tony Fusco.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
You know, as the host of the number one rated
Paully and Tony Fusco show. We get tons and tons
of fan mail every day.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Piles of it.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
In fact, Tony, why don't you open up one of
those letters right now and read what's inside.
Speaker 12 (18:12):
Hey, listen to this, Dear Paulie and Tony, your sports
takes the dumbest and most terribly that.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Wait, open this other one.
Speaker 12 (18:20):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you suck more than anyone.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Wait, try this one.
Speaker 12 (18:25):
Dear Paulie and Tony, you guys are the absolute best.
There you go, coming up with the stupidest take.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Forget it.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco Show on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, yep, it's the topic everybody's talking about today. Should
Cheed Holmgren be listed as a rookie? He's on the
first team All Rookie squad for the NBA. Paulie argues no,
and Ben Simmons didn't he sit out a year he
won the Rookie of the Year. Blake Griffin did this,
(19:00):
sat out a year injured, then won Rookie of the Year.
And now chet Holmgren? What other evidence?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know our great partners at Panini, the cards, the
trading cards. I looked up. There's a bunch of twenty
two to twenty three chet Holmgren rookie cards, and I
looked at the twenty three twenty four chet Holmgren cards.
They no longer say rookie on them. They're just cards
because he's not a rookie.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
We have an email into Panini to see if they
actually cover second year rookie cards rookies, awaiting their response.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Also, Dan, this is not a victimist crime and chet Holmgren.
Someone said that he's probably has a bonus in his
contract and he's all rookie. Yeah, sure, good for him.
I'll bet you that all the other people who finished
second team all rookie this year, like Derek Lively and
Men Thompson, et cetera, et cetera, they probably had bonuses
in their contract and he took one of their spots.
Not a victims. There's victims here, Dan, there's victims.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Okay, Well, they they were getting ahead of the sea
in with chet Holmgren, and then they put out the
rookie card his first year, right, and then he wasn't
able to play. Therefore he's still a rookie.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
He's a rookie this year when his rookie card came
out last year. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh the outrage.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, how do you think it would work in the
NFL if a top draft pick quarterback didn't play a
snap and then played the like Mahomes he played one
game his rookie years and then the next year he
won MVP. If he didn't take a snap, would he
have been eligible for Rookie.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Of the Year. I'm gonna say no.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
So two sports, two different rules.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
He did suit up, and he was on the sidelines,
and he was capable of playing chet Holmgren couldn't suit up.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Well, he could suit up, but he couldn't play. Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The least amount of snaps taken by a rookie quarterback
that I could find taken in the first round was
Philip Rivers his first year in San Diego. Everys sat
behind breeze.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
He took eight snaps eight eight. He had eight attempts,
so he played out sparingly in a couple of games.
I wonder if he sat that entire year, would he
have been considered a rookie stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't know if you have that in the NFL.
I don't think so because he's not injured. I think
if you're injured. You didn't at least suit up. Then
they're in lies the rub Fritzie, do you have emails
into the NBA?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Of course we do.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Okay, they're gonna love us today, they're gonna love us.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
What do you think the collective reaction is from any
league office and they see from the desk of Todd
fritz pop up. Well, they might emails, you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They may print those out and post those just around
the office. Yeah, oh yeah, we got another. Hey we
can add to the collection. Fritzy asked about this.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
What's all right? He's considered a rookie.
Speaker 13 (21:46):
Let it go.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I'm gonna get something like that. What are you guys
trying to figure out? What are you trying to stir
up something? Is it a slow news day?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Get you Benny.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
A b It's what I imagine every reaction to be
when Todd sent someone in an email, I.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Can't get your dextra show. Yes I can't. Those guys
are got by Annie and you want you.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Want, well, he'll do it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So so Jay Horowitz used to be the PR guy
with the Mets long time for years, years, and and
I I first met him in the early eighties when
I was out doing stories on the Mets, and of
course you had Doc Gooden, Manor and Strawberry and you
would go, hey, Jay, you know we're doing a feature.
(22:37):
I was working at CNN at the time. Hey can
I get Doc. I can't get you, donc I can't
get to you know, I could get you bennyag Bayghana,
And I go, but I I'm doing a feature on
Dwight Gooden. And he was trying to give me all
these I give you a Tim Tuffell and I go, no,
I'm doing a feature on Doc Gooden. And he and
(23:00):
then if I became friends with Doc's dad, that's the
only way I got to do a feature, because I said, Jay,
I talked to Doc's dad and he said that he's
fine with Doc doing an interview.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Yes, Tom standing right outside the Metz locker, ones peering in,
and I said, how a co went Batman Mcgrenold and
I could see them in the locker.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They're not even here.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
You that's that's not going to happen. Then I'm in
here shelter.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Adam Silver says he has no plans. Now this is
this is twenty nineteen, So Adam Silver talked to the
Mothership and he was asked about players who were eligible.
So if you sat out their true rookie year, would
they remain eligible for Rookie of the Year. And Adam
(23:44):
Silver told the Mothership that there's not We have a
rule in place and we've had it there for some
time and they're not going to change this. A league
source told ESPN the NBA might be interested in adopting
a rookie designation similar to that of Major League Baseball,
where if a player competes in minimal games his rookie
(24:05):
season due to injury, he would qualify for Rookie of
the Year the next season. Adam Silver says he's not
had any conversation about that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yes, Paul, this was twenty eighteen. Ben Simmons won Rookie
the Year in his second year in the NBA. Donovan
Mitchell actually went to bat for himself on social media
and said, you're not a rookie, why are you eligible
for this reward ard and suggested he recuse himself, which
Ben Simmons didn't do the first time. He didn't recuse himself,
but the commission was asked multiple times, would you change
(24:36):
He said, it's something I would I'm open to change,
but not something that's on the table. Yeah, we should
bring it back.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
This is kind of awesome, though. Do you know the
minimum threshold or maybe it's maximum actually of at bats
to be considered a rookie in baseball?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Okay, let's guess, all right, So the minimum.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
That there are two thresholds to be considered. You're considered
a rookie unless you cross these two threshold and one
of them is at batskay, the other is innings pitched
in a major league seasons.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, how about it bats, Todd, what's the line of
demarcation where you're no longer a rookie?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Twenty five at bats?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Twenty five? All right, Marvin ten Paully forty nine at bats.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'm gonna go seventy five at bats.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
For two of the guesses. You could add one hundred
and still be considered a rookie. It's one hundred and
thirty at bats. Once you hit one hundred and thirty
at bats, you're then considered no longer a rookie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, you want to try innings pitched?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay, innings pitched, Marvin, how about that innings pitched and
you're no longer a rookie thirty five, Paulie fifty nine,
fifty Wait, we were going to say fifty ye two.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
No, sorry, Paul said it first though, so he wents thirty.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, so I think on that, so.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You could be a closer pitch forty eight innings as
a rookie and then you're a rookie the next year.
I guess that's wild.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, how about that. I don't know what we solved there.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
It's fun.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
That's baseball, Yeah, fun trivia, little known rule, I guess.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Okay, have we heard from the NBA yet? God?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Not just I haven't heard from Panini yet either. Okay,
it's going to keep updating that.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes, yeah, because do they have a second rookie card?
Does just Chat Holmgren have two years of rookie cards
when they do an all rookie team?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Uh spectacular you know what I mean, where it's all
shiny and like, you know, lasers and stuff like that.
Pannini like, yeah, these are this this is the five
first team All rookie it's gonna be Chet Holmgren on there.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, I'm looking all of Chet's cards as a rookie here,
the PRISM cards here. Okay, we'll work on that. Shawn
and Oregon. Good morning, Sean. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (27:06):
Hey, I just wanted to bring up that our vetas
a Bonus was drafted by in Portland Trible as Is
nineteen eighty six, and he made the NBAL rookie team
in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Well, but that was his first year in the league though, correct.
He had come over from Russia.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Yeah, after he had a gold medal for him basketball.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, Our Vita Sabonis came over at age thirty one,
and I remember meeting him in Atlanta. The Hawks were
thinking of drafting him, and I met him at the airport.
It was top secret and I was at CNN and
they sent me out to the airport and I was
(27:48):
going to do an interview with our Vitas Sabonis, or
at least an interpreter. And I remember he got off
the plane and he walked in and he barely got
in the door. He's one of the He's a Yao
ming type of guy. He was huge, and then of
course he stayed in the Soviet Union and then went
to Portland. He was a wonderful player, but he had
(28:09):
bad knees, but wonderful as far as one of the
best passing big men I ever saw great touch as well.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
And his son, of course, is killing it in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Uh, Jesse in Atlanta, Hey, Jess, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (28:23):
Hey guys love the show a long time, not the
first time, but many times. Side of the theory, you know,
I know we weren't nominated this year for a sports seme,
and I kind of put two and two together and
I was like, maybe does sports semis have a new
rule where like the NBA, if you're not on for
so much time, then you know you can be disqualified
(28:44):
as a starter. So maybe because we considered the dance
and you know, of course mister Dan Patrick as a
team because of first of these medical absences, did he
get us disqualified this year? And he shouldn't we look
about making a trade up the roster.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Nope, I this is my team right here, this is
our starting five. It's us for better for worse. Todd,
you didn't miss that much time?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
He might be referred to number number of years back.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
There was a.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Number of years A number of years back.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Yeah, there was. There was a few years back where
I had a miss significant time in the hospital, but
thank god, not to recently. I might have missed a
day or two here and there, but not to the
effet why we would lose the sports.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Me, Well, you've taken a Friday off when you're feelings
I was on my yacht. You took You took friday
off when your feelings were hurt about being relegated?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You did?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Was that?
Speaker 10 (29:39):
And my kid graduated?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah? In that in that order, I was mainly.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Hurt, and then I figured I should probably attend my
kid's college graduation.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
To be fair to Todd whenever he's away from We're
never fair to Todd whenever he's away from the show
for any reason. His contributions to the show triple.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
When you're not here, you probably contribute more because you're
sending emails, ideas, pull questions, text messages, so you're you're involved.
Speaker 10 (30:08):
And maybe some of the biggest guys I've ever booked
to work from my hospital bed with an IVY in
my own.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
For some strangers, I'm not even joking.
Speaker 10 (30:15):
I'm if I'm just sitting there relaxing, and I can't
you don't drink anything.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I know.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
I'm nothing to do but lay there and just do
some work to not feel sorry for myself.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
How about a round of applause for working from his
hospital bed. Woman Ivy nearly died one of our incredible moments. There,
you're the willis Read of Bookers named in this world.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Worst thing. The doctors are whispering about your outside and
you can only hear parts of what are they gonna
do to me?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What the X ratio?
Speaker 10 (30:43):
Can't really hear?
Speaker 13 (30:43):
What this?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Andrew in Washington, Andrew, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Third morning, Dan, Daned, thanks for taking my call. That's amazing, Dan.
You have two willis Reads on your team. You have
the willis Read of Bookers and the willis Read.
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Of the board.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Friday.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yep, yeah, that's amazing. So I have a.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Stat of the day that pertains the Indiana Pacers and
the Boston Celtics. So I look back, and the Indiana Pacers,
we all know about their shooting percentage leaves the NBA,
their scoring leads the NBA. But I look back, and
here's the stat is that if the Indiana Pacers win
the rebounding margin, they win the playoff game. So seven
out of their eight wins in every game in the
(31:22):
New York Series, they have won the rebounding margin against
their opponents. So I believe that if they don't win
the rebounding margin, they won't win against Boston.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
All right. Stat of the Day? Whoa how stant of
the day?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Stant of to day, statuta day stand outa day.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
This is the state of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program Points spread tonight,
the Celtics are giving ten to the Pacers, ten to
the Pacers. In case you're wondering over under Jason Tatum
twenty nine and a half, Jalen Brown twenty four and
a half, would you just take the Pacers to win
(32:09):
out right tonight? Like just take the money line, just
say let's you know what, Let's see if there's some
momentum here Celtics maybe get a little tight there.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
What do you think, Mark? I'm with you, an TJ.

Speaker 7 (32:32):

coming out of high school and with the big time programs,
You're like, oh, these guys fought.
Speaker 3 (32:40):

These guys started in the mail room, right, They worked
their way up to be the.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I'm sure ettributor. I'm sure one of those guys was
probably McDonald's all American, I'm certain of it. Talking about
great and grind. They started from the bottom.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Please, why are you ruining the great white hope? Here
the story?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Okay, yeah, come on, you gotta follow its formulaic.

By the way, when you see those Edmonton Oiler uniforms,
they're awesome. But when you have success, and they had
a lot of success, you didn't change your uniform like
they're playing against Vancouver. Vancouver's changed its uniforms drastically feels
(34:54):
like every decade they've changed it. But Edmonton has Stanley
Cups and they have have Gretzky and you see those
uniforms and you go, you can't improve upon those. You know,
the Canadians don't change their uniform the maple Leafs, even
though maple Leafs haven't had success in a long time.
But there's certain like when do you have a really
(35:16):
successful franchise and you change your uniforms? And I was
wondering about this because Cowboys stay the same, Packers stay
now you have throwbacks, but Steelers, Raiders, Dodgers, you know
your main uniform, you don't change it. Yankees you don't
change it. And I was wondering because a lot of
(35:37):
times a team will change its look because they're trying
to change their identity. Yeah, they're trying to move on
from something now that never existed. Where are the new Padres?
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Yes, Tom, I think someone's going to break the jinks
of how horrible they are, or we have to find
a way to make some money, so let's get some
new jerseys and stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, Pauli, I would say the example is the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers with the orange and white or the creamskull white.
Back in the seventies, remember when they changed the pewter
in that deep red the Warren sap nerk Brooks era,
that didn't look anything like the Buccaneers. They went a
tile a complete different direction. That's like Vancouver, where there
we didn't do anything well in this uniform. Let's completely
(36:18):
change it.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
And Vancouver was in the Stanley Cup finals years ago.
In fact, there's a documentary about that that day that
they lost in the Stanley Cup Final. And I was
in Vancouver and I remember leaving the building and it
was like the movie Escaped from New York where there
was a lot of stuff going on there. Fires, I mean,
(36:42):
it was chaos. Now, I remember, I'm with Mike Millberry.
He's the guy you want to be with if there
could be a fight or there could be you know,
some navigating there to get through some trouble, because Millberry
he doesn't suffer fools gladly. I mean, he's like, all right,
let's go, and I'm like, all right, I'm following you,
(37:03):
and a little nervous there. Beautiful city. But I think
there's a documentary on that night. Yeah, Pauline, you.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Know one team that was really good, the Denver Broncos
in the seventies and eighties, and they changed pretty drastically
late in the lwayh days to that they were the
traditional uniform. They changed pretty not color wise, but the
total feel of it. Yeah, that's a big chance.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Oh you know what.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
To Paul's point, the Houston Rockets, they won those titles
with just the regular red uniforms. Then they went to
the Rockets red glare uniform with the blue and it
was really loud and they had an actual rocket on
a uniform.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
After the Akima Laijahwan titles.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Uh, the Bulls, the Bulls went like black uniforms during
Mike's career.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
There sell Moore jerseys.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah yeah, but I understood the business side of that.
But the Lakers have stayed the Lakers Celtics for the
most part, I think, I mean, you'll have that third uniform,
you have home and road and then a third or
maybe a fourth with a throwback in there as well.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
But you know, for the most most part, there's Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
When I when I look at Edmonton, I always think
of Retzki, yes, Mark, and.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
There's teams that haven't had a ton of success. But
the uniforms are just so beautiful. You never change them.
The Mariners like when they went away from the blue
and yellow to the teal in navy blue. The ken
Griffy a rod never changed.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
No, that's true.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Never.
Speaker 14 (38:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What do Vancouver players do to one another after a
big win?
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Todd? They give each other Canucks.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Wow, isn't it. That's kind of sad that we're on
the same level.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
There is awesome, Yes, it's awesome. Yeah, that's good. Aiden
in Utah, Hey, do you just do to your brand?
Speaker 10 (38:56):
I know ques question?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Hey, Aidan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Hey man, thanks for calling back. I got a credit
proposal for Todd Fritz. Oh okay, so Todd Fritz and
I'm gonna try to think. I can't come up with
whatever would be equivalent of two draft picks, and you're
gonna trade all that for Nick Wright. I feel like
(39:24):
you would, really, I feel like you would get you
over the edge and and and get you that sports Sammy.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
All right, well, thank you, Aiden.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I'm not trading Todd, even if I could secure the
rights to Nick right.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Not gonna do that now. If you throw in one
of his guys, on his show, you know, talking, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
But that's like drafting Michael Pennox when we have Kirk Cousins.
We have an established quarterback, and you're gonna muckle things
up with another host.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah maybe if you're throwing Joey Taylor and Nick Wright,
you know, maybe we could make something work there.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
But you're not. You're not on the trade. That's good
to hear you're not.
Speaker 10 (40:02):
Because I would take that extremely well.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I know him, with two hours left in their show
and a long ride home, you would do really well
with that topic.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Rich in Athens, Hi, Rich, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (40:15):

Speaker 15 (40:17):
