Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our two on this Monday. Hope you
had a great weekend. Gangs here ready to go. Morale
is high.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Started my day off on a great note, got coffee,
taking the dog in, went through the car wash and
she accidentally opened up the passenger side window and I
got the car washed inside as well, realizing I got
four pies coming because England lost in the Euros to Spain.
And then I also realized my wife reminded me you
(00:33):
have a dentist appointment later today. Other than that, it's
a great day, best and worst of the weekend. What
you saw that you liked you didn't like? Eight seven
seven three DP. Show operator Tyler is sitting by stat
of the Day has always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. It
was kind of a big weekend for international sports with Wembledon,
(00:56):
with the Euros, with Copa America. You had the Scottish
Open as well. British Open will start coming up this
weekend this week as well. Pole question from hour one
is going to be what seed O'Connor.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The pole question from hour one was since we have
now moved past. Did Jalen Brunson have a good weekend?
Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I'd say yes he did. I'd say he got paid,
he got guaranteed money, and perception wise, he left a
lot of money on the table for the Knicks to
then go out and reinforce that roster, add to that roster.
So I would say yes. What did the audience say
about Jalen Brunson? Sixty seven percent of the audience agree
(01:40):
with you only sixty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, that feels high to me. I think people are
underappreciating how much money one hundred and thirteen million dollars
is somehow in.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
This that he left on the table. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, it's like why, Yeah, you did it for the
good of the team so you could win. Yeah, it's
he still chose to be like, I'll make thirty seven
million dollar less per year over the next three years.
That's that's a crazy amount of money. That's lottery money
that he's choosing to not even take.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But is he going to eventually get paid this money? Maybe?
Is he delaying this money not guaranteed, deferring this money not? Really,
he has the ability to get it back. That doesn't
mean that he is going to get it back, but
he has to stay healthy. Correct, Okay, correct, I'd still
say he had a really good weekend. I would say, yes,
(02:31):
even though he left one hundred and thirteen million dollars
on the table there.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I still say the Knicks had an infinitely better weekend
than he did.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Wooh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
They just talked their superstar player into leaving one hundred
and thirteen million dollars on the table.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I know, but every Knicks fan will look at
Jalen Brunson and go, that guy is a team first guy.
Look at what he did.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, Marvin, that's one hundred and thirteen million dollars less.
They better win a championship.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
But I hate to sound all lovey dovey, but I
wonder if there's something with Brunson who says, I really
do want to win and be rich. I could do both,
and I can delay the money help this team, knowing
that the currency of winning in New York City becomes
actual currency someday. If he said, if you bring the
Knicks to a title, I can't imagine what doors will
(03:29):
be open marketing wise for you in that city. In perpetuity.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But what if you don't, you're more likely that you don't.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
More likely, Yes, but you're helping your own cause you're
helping your own cost for it in the near future.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I think it's a big win for him. It's still
a lot of money that he's getting, and it's guaranteed,
and he's coming off an injury, and you'll get into
that next contract a year earlier. I think he's going
to do okay. I just I think the perception of this,
because this was really with Brady, Like, the perception was
(04:04):
man Brady taken less restructuring his deal and even when
he would do that, like he was probably the tenth
highest paid quarterback during part of his career. But I
also go back to Michael Jordan. When Jordan was taking less.
There was one year I believe when Michael was the
(04:24):
sixth highest paid Chicago Bull. Now he was making a
lot of money off the floor, but he was still
I mean, you still want to get your money. But
I always remember Michael did that because Mike realized, I
got to have a a as great as I am,
I have to have a really good team around me.
(04:45):
And what happens when you win you get paid. If
Michael Jordan was just Air Jordan and no championships, I
just don't think that you have. You know, you know
the amount of money that he's made off the floor
with Nike. When you win and you're Michael Jordan, that's
different than just man. That guy is a highlight. He's unbelievable.
(05:09):
We want winners. Mahomes wins, Brady wins. Winners get commercials,
except for Charles Barkley. I was watching Charles playing golf
yesterday in Tahoe. Charles talks a good game now. He
used to be really good. He used to be a
(05:30):
single digit. And I played against him one time and
we played in Dayton, Ohio in a celebrity event, and
we repaired with each other and he shot a seventy nine.
I shot an eighty one. And he was really really
good around the greens. It was legit. He shot a
seventy nine. And then all of a sudden he went
(05:51):
to a golf teacher, a pro and said, you should
pause for a second at the top of your golf swing,
because sometimes you know that transition, you move it so fast,
you know. They were like, just pause, seems simple. You
hear this you see this, A lot of golfers do that.
Charles couldn't get back down, and that's how all of
(06:15):
this happened for decades. And now you'll watch him swing.
It's a little more free flowing. It's not you know,
sort of a you know, like in segments there. And
I was watching him play. I'm not worried about Charles
being better a golfer than me. Not worried about that.
Anytime soon, I might have to play in that event
(06:36):
or just play Charles straight up in a golf event
made for TV. I don't know who's going to watch it,
but just be and Charles playing against one another. And
there's some it's the same guys who play in that
golf event who are always up there. Marty Fish is
always up there, John Smoltz is up there. Jack Wagner's
(06:56):
the same guys. Aaron Rodgers. I played with Roger there's
a is that twelve years ago, ten twelve years ago,
and he was just sort of starting out playing golf.
Him and Roethlisberger both played at the same event in Tahoe,
and Rogers is a good stick. Roethlisberger is a pretty
(07:18):
good stick as well. But you get out there, and
that's different than playing with your buddies on the weekend
because you got to play every shot. Now, if you
double bogie, you just pick it up, but you got
to play every shot, and there's a crowd there. You know,
Travis Kelsey ended up hitting somebody, Like the gallery thinks
you're actually decent, and they stand close and then you're
(07:38):
like no, no, no, back up, and then they laugh
and then they go, oh, you're just joking. And then
all of a sudden, somebody gets hit. But Travis Kelsey
hit somebody, hit a woman, end up giving her a
kiss on the arm or something. But you know, it's
a great event, beautiful place out there as well. But
seeing Charles play a little bit of golf, he's got
some work to do. Fritzy, did you reach out to Charles?
(08:00):
He was doing a lot of talking over the weekend
for a guy who's retiring. Okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Do you know what I noticed it about the American Century
and all those celebrity golf tournaments. The former players are
in it. Former athletes and actors, starting pitchers do very
well in these things. I'm looking at the leaderboard. It's
like Derek low Mark Moulder, John John Smoltz, because that's
all they did during their career, pitch, go with some
balls the next couple day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, they only have to be worried about one day
when they pitch, and then you got these other days.
Smoltz and Glavin Maddocks they would go play golf. If
if it you know, it was one of those days
when neither of the pitchers were pitching, they'd be playing golf,
you know, during the afternoon, and then you'd have a
night game. All right, see what's poll question for hour two?
(08:46):
Going to be.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I was putting up there who had the best weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Who had the worst weekend?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Those are always fun. I don't know if we got
to the worsts of the bunch, but England obviously did
not have a great weekend. Columbia did not have a
great weekend. Novak Djokovic, he didn't win, but still came
away from that loss looking pretty great. Even though he
got destroyed. He got to the finals. He got to
(09:14):
the finals.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm gonna say that, how many how many Grand Slam
finals has he played? It? I mean it's like thirty seven,
does that sound right? I think he's won twenty four.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's like won twenties.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I mean that's just it's like Jack Nicholas has
what eighteen majors? I think he finished second nineteen times.
Nolan Ryan has six no hitters and twelve one hitters. Yeah, Pa.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Novak Djokovic has won Wimbledon seven times, yeah yeah seven Yeah,
French Open three times, Australian a million times.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But how many times has he been in the finals? Yes,
Todd thirty seven Grand Slam finals appearance.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
As he said, Grand Slam titles twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's incredible, incredible, And here he is, I think, at
age thirty seven. And then you have Carlos Alcarez who's
twenty one, and he's the future, Like the future tennis
is right here now. It's not one of those boys.
If you don't get him now, you're not going to
get him in a couple of years. No, he's here
and everybody else is going. Now we got to you know,
(10:25):
it's almost like the Tom Brady Patrick Mahomes that you know,
here's this guy, hold on and he's going to give
another another go. Meanwhile, you got this guy who was
waiting and he is ready to take the mantle. He
is ready to be crown king. And that's what you
have with football, or had with football with the changing
(10:46):
of the quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
There.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
All right, So big weekend International Sports COPA final and Miami.
More on this. It was Argentina versus Columbia and it
was an ugly scene. Ugly scene. I think the wrong
I think the wrong people are being blamed here for
the crowd control. We'll talk about that, the security failure
that you had crowds pre game. They had to move
(11:09):
the starting time back, they kept moving it back. But
we'll have a reporter who was there and witnessed this
first hand. Barry in South Carolina. Barry, what's on your
mind today? Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Barry?
Speaker 8 (11:25):
First of all, Hey, but first of all, I'd be
remiss if I didn't acknowledge my nephew who graduated valedictorian
from the program the summer, so good job to him.
Second of all, best of the weekend, Alcarez blew past Djokovic.
I couldn't believe the three straight sets, unbelievable. And then
crazy dog story of the weekend, similar to yours. I
(11:48):
took my dog for a walk or shue me ride
my car, which I never really do. Got out a
car to drop off something to friends, left the car
running because it was super hot out. The dog locked
me out of the car. Yep, So an hour later
somebody came to fail me out. But I'm like, I'm big.
Can you like to step on that thing one more
time than you use to lock me out?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Please?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Thank you? Barry. Yeah. Whenever I go in to get
coffee and I have the dog there, and I always
take the keys because all it takes is just a
wrong step and the paul hits something and then you're
locked out, and then you're an idiot. You're just standing
there looking at your dog right through the windshield. Larry
in Michigan, Hi, Larry, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Hey damn, thanks for the call there. Today's my birthday,
so I'm kind of fired up about that and doing so.
I have a question. I wonder who's the little blond
dude underneath your microphone. On good days, I wake up
and hey, Bud, he's got a good smile. I waved
to him. On bad days when I wake up, I'm like, dude,
I don't know you quit waving to me. Take off
(12:51):
the glasses cause you're in the side.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
How about how about a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Yeah,
happy birthday. There that is Lou Holtz. If you're watching
on Peacock, that's when Lou was at Arkansas, and it
is a subtle reminder of I believe Lou was coaching
Arkansas when Arkansas beat Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. That's
(13:18):
the last bet I ever made. I believe it's nineteen
seventy eight or seventy nine. I have purposely tried to
blur it out of my mind my memory. Arkansas big underdog.
I think Lou Holtz was the head coach at Arkansas
at the time, and they beat Oklahoma. That's the last bet.
I lost thirty three hundred dollars on that bet. That's
(13:40):
the last bet I ever made. So Lou Holtz is
always there as a reminder.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't remember you tell me the number. That's a
lot of do back then?
Speaker 10 (13:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It was, yes, it was, yes, it was. I was
up six grand and I felt rolling. I felt strongly
about this. I was going to take Arkansas and the points.
Call my bookie and he says, uh so, what do
you What do you got? And I said, I like Arkansas.
(14:11):
I goes man, everybody's going Oklahoma. He talked me out
of it, and he knew that he was getting his
rear end handed to him by me, and he was
he would he wouldn't manipulate the line if I and
I realized this later because I would say, he'd say
who do you like? And I'd say, uh, I don't know.
(14:31):
What's the line on the Bears Packers game? And he goes, well,
what side? And I go, well, what's the line? And
you know, I like the Bears and the points, and
then he would jack up the line, knowing who I liked.
And then I stopped telling him who I liked because
he was manipulating the line right in front of me.
But yeah, I lost thirty three hundred dollars up six grand,
(14:54):
lost thirty three hundred. Never bet again. Well I did bet,
I guess because I bet that England would beat Spain.
And now I have four pies coming my way. I
had two to one Friday, I doubled down and I
got four coming in. It's okay, sorry, it's gonna be
a great story England beating Spain. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Look on the bright side, the pies didn't cost thirty
three hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Thank you, Marvin, what's the most you guys have ever bet? Marvin,
have you gambled? I have not big money on anything, No, No, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
On a single game, yeah, five hundred dollars and it
was a win. But it made me that was stretching
it for me as I was probably twenty two years old.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Seat and you ever bet big? Nah?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
No, I'm not much of a gambler.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah. See, I know that I have that DNA that's like,
it's bad, it's addicting, and therefore I was crazy about it.
And you're betting on everything and you think you're smarter,
like now I know a lot more, and now I
know a lot more. That's why I wouldn't bet, because
(16:10):
I know a lot more about the other side too.
And why my bookie drove a Lincoln Continental. It was
it was a powder blue Lincoln Continental and I was
riding a ten speed. You know there was a difference there.
All right, let me take a break. We'll have a
little bit more on what happened in South Florida last
(16:31):
night with Argentina winning Copa America and the reason why
I want to talk about it. You know, granted was
on US soil, but We're going to have the World
Cup coming here in a couple of years, and this
is one of those subtle reminders of the world is
coming to the United States. A lot of times we'll
watch what happens in other countries and we're removed from
(16:54):
it because it doesn't affect us. But last night it
should affect us, and hopefully we will learn in two
years how to handle this. More on that from a
reporter who was there in Miami last night. Take a
break back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
It was Wald to Wall International Sports yesterday. You start
out with Wembledon. It's awesome when the British opener Wembledon.
It's early in the morning and you're like yeah, and
then all of a sudden, you start to plan your day.
Next thing, you know, you got soccer in the afternoon
with the Euros, and then Summer League basketball, and then
(18:19):
at night you had COPA And I'm watching because I'm
friends with Rob Stone, he's the host of Fox Sports,
and so he's hosting this and I keep waiting, like
I'm waiting to go When are they going to go
out to the event? And they kind of downplayed what
was going on prior to the game leading up to
(18:40):
the game, and all of a sudden you realize that,
you know, the Copa America final with Argentina and Columbia
was a mess. And we wanted to talk to somebody
who was there. Paul tan Orio, the senior writer for
The Athletic. He was there and joins us from the
Fort Lauderdale area. Paul, thanks for joining us. When did
you really something something was wrong pregame.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, it was a little bit before six o'clock. We
started to hear that there were issues with people that
were jumping fences trying to get into the games, and
we saw a couple photos on the Getty wires actually
of people being arrested. And so at that point, my
colleagues Felipe Card and us Jack Laying and myself we
went down to the gates to see what was going on.
And I got down there at about six five or so,
(19:28):
and right around when I got down there, they closed
the gates. And at that point you're kind of thinking, Okay,
they're going to try to get control of this situation.
But very quickly, within a few minutes, I realized that
the decision to close the gates was going to be
one that made the situation worse, not better. And I
didn't go back upstairs and still, you know, well after
(19:49):
eight pm and just spend the next two hours documenting
everything that was going on around the gates and all
of the madness and the issues that were playing out.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How close was this to a disaster last night?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I think really close.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
There was a point, probably around eight o'clock I turned
to my colleague and I said, I think someone might
end up dying tonight if they don't do something to
change this drastically. And you know that's why when they
opened the gates at eight fifteen, it was not an
ideal scenario at all. And it was not a safe,
you know, a safe solution, right to just let everyone
(20:25):
into the stadium, not check tickets, not pat people down,
not go through metal detectors. But I felt it was
the only solution. The people that were crushed up against
those gates had been there for hours. The temperatures were
in the nineties. It was my hottest day here in
South Florida of the five days that I was here
in the lead up to the game. You know, when
I came into the stadium at three pm, obviously it's
(20:48):
three or four hours ahead of this, it was it
was it was just so hot. The sun was bearing
down right on that gate, the southwest gate of the
stadium where I was watching, and I was thinking to myself,
I wasn't surrounded by anybody at that point. And I
came in soaking wet with sweat, and hours and hours
of watching people come through the gates having fainted, being
carried in unconscious kids coming in completely red, soaked, their
(21:12):
t shirts, soaked in sweat, crying that something had to
be done. And again it wasn't a perfect solution, but
had they not opened the gates, I think it would
have been worse.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Who was running the security, well.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
The logistics of this tournament were run by Cole make Ball,
the association of the South American teams that puts on
the Cope America. You know, the last time Copa America
was here in the United States was twenty sixteen, the
Copa America Centinnadio. That tournament, a lot of the logistics
and operations were run by Soccer United Marketing, which is
Major League Soccer's marketing arm. US Soccer played a big
(21:46):
role this time around. Cole mad Ball wanted to run
everything top to bottom, and you know, it was, you know,
it was a little bit of a mess this entire tournament.
For I was there in opening night Argentina played Canada
and Atlanta, the logistics weren't great and all the way
through the last day. Now, once you're at the stadium,
of course, the coordination was happening between the security firm
(22:07):
that works at hard Rock Stadium, the hard Rocks stadium
operations people. I saw many of them down at the
Southwest gate trying to I don't even want to say coordinated.
I don't know exactly what they were doing, because there
wasn't a lot of communication happening even behind the gates,
let alone to the people that were stuck in front
of them. And then the Miami Dade police officers and
fire department were right there at the Southwest gate where
(22:28):
I was, So there were a lot of organizations working
in the moment, but there wasn't a lot of organization
happening and almost no communication. I mean, my editor's family
was outside of the gates. Friends of mine outside of
the gates were telling me they had no idea the
game had been delayed. You know, they went to get
to the gate and they were within eight feet of
the gate when it closed, and then you're stuck. You
(22:48):
can't go anywhere, And it was just a really, really
dangerous situation. And I'm surprised that the organization the preparation
for this was not good enough, almost as if, you know,
the hard Rock thought to themselves, Hey, we're hosting a
soccer game, not a continental final, with two of the
most passionate fan bases in the world who also happen
(23:10):
to have enormous communities in South Florida, they were not
ready for the rush of people that were going to
come to that stadium.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, let's fast forward to this, the United States hosting
the World Cup in a couple of years. How do
we learn from this? It feels like this keeps happening
over and over and over. I don't know if we're
learning from that. So how do you troubleshoot this?
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Well?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I think FIFA has their hands full in multiple ways.
First of all, I think they need to be able
to communicate to people that it'll be different when they
run things, when they organize things, it'll be a completely
different set of operations, different organization running things. Commobole is
an organization that reports essentially to FIFA. They are not FIFA,
so you know that hopefully will give you a little
bit of security. Thinking. FIFA's done World Cups before all
(23:55):
around the world. But I think for the American stadium
operations in all of these different cities, I hope that
they learn that the security logistics for these big games
have to be different around around the stadium, you know,
in other countries, they have multiple layers of security to
get to the stadium so that you don't have these
rushes at the gates, because this is happening more and more,
(24:15):
Like you said, we saw it in a Champions League
final in Europe. Obviously, with what happened yesterday, there has
to be there have to be checkpoints in order to
kind of filter out some of the people who who
are trying to get into these games without tickets or
else you end up with these with these bad situations.
And I will say at the early portion of this,
you know, they tried to open the gates a couple
of times, crack them open, and people would rush towards
(24:38):
those openings, and that's human nature. I mean they were
they were stuck there, they were trying to get out,
and then they would close the gates again. It was
there was this concern between letting people in that didn't
have tickets and the issues that can come from that
and the safety of the people themselves. And again I
think it shows that the security that FIFA has to
go through with these stadiums, with these local police offices,
(25:00):
they have to be diligent in creating checkpoints to prevent
a build up at the gates themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Could this have been Messi's last big match? Yeah, it
could have been.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
You know, he didn't. First of all, Argentina didn't come
through the mix zone at the end of the night,
so we didn't get to talk to the players at all.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
After the game.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
A lot of the focus, and Messi made sure a
lot of the focus was on on healthy Madia. It
being his last match, he was never going to take
that moment away from him, and so you know, they said,
no one talked about it being Messi's last match. I
wouldn't be surprised if he decided at one point it was.
But I have a feeling he's going to stick around.
He seems to. I've never seen him so happy. You
see him in the mix zone after the semifinal. He
(25:39):
was smiling and laughing and just really enjoying himself within
this group. Argentina is still playing in World Cup qualifiers.
He's still playing for Inner Miami, I think, as long
as he's playing club soccer, but probably play for Argentina.
But now we wait, We wait and see how the
ankle heels up, and we wait and see if giving
himself a couple of days of space between this trophy
and starting some medical work on his ankle make some
(26:02):
reflect on whether this this should be the end.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Thank you, Paul. We appreciate you joining us and thank you,
thanks so much. That's Paul t an Oreo the Athletic
covering last night. Yeah, there were there were two different events.
There was the game itself, the match itself, and then
what was happening prior to that. And you know there's
the documentary that was on Wembley. Was that the Euro's
(26:29):
Seaton a few years ago?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, that was just the last ones England, Italy, Italy.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yes, and if you're watching that documentary, it is you
can you can see it, you can feel it like
it's it's coming. And all of a sudden, these fans,
now there was a ton of drinking and they started
early and it was a mess. And then all of
a sudden they brought the party to Wembley and they
(26:56):
were getting in and they were getting in no matter what.
You almost have to if you can have a barricade
outside of the barricade, like you have these checkpoints to
allow people in. But you know, the World Cup is
going to be on home soil here, it's different, like
we don't. We're not passionate about soccer the way these
(27:17):
countries are, and you have to understand that with your
security measures. They were going through air conditioning ducks, you know, vents,
they were trying any way they could. And there were
people who had tickets who went to their seats and
people were sitting in their seats and they weren't getting up.
People didn't get in who had tickets. It's a lot
(27:40):
of money that you spent and then you didn't even
get into the event. Like that's inexcusable. I'm not going
to put this all on South Florida and the police
and security there because it wasn't run by them, but
I mean there's enough blame to go around. I've mentioned
this before. I was working in in Ohio and we
(28:01):
had tickets to the Who concert in Cincinnati, the Who
concert where eleven people died. And we got down there
and we saw ambulances and you saw body bags, you know,
on the viaduct there with Riverfront Coliseum. You know, all
it takes is and it shouldn't take that, but you
(28:21):
have something that is etched in my memory bank of
this was festival seating doors were crashed, glasses crashed, people
were squished, they were crushed. So I hope and we
always say this, well, the next time we'll learn from this. Okay,
(28:43):
I hope we learned from this and understand this and
the passion that's there. And you saw that last night,
watch that Wembley documentary. It is very sad day on
a variety of fronts there when you're watching how that unfolded.
All right, we'll get some phone calls best and worst
of the weekend. We'll have that for you coming up.
(29:04):
We will give you our best and worst of the
weekend strict in Tennessee. Hey, Stric what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (29:10):
Good morning, gentlemen, perfect being am I five to two
one sixty Okay, I thought maybe Sian would have had
this on his first full question. It's my best and
the best invested weekend, have no negativity all possible. How
about an eagle birdie birdie finish in the Scottish Open
(29:34):
for a scotsmand to win.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Cool, cool cool. And then the other best of the
weekend would be our careers kicking. Djokovic vich is reared
and I'm thinking, you know, Djokovic and maybe Aaron Rodgers
would get together and going wing and crying to be together.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
They seem to have similar kind of attitudes about things.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I thank you strick Aaron Rodgers playing golf over the weekend,
and he said that the season starts now. Now the
off season ends on Sunday, Now the regular season starts.
I don't know what that means other than yeah, you're
supposed to go to training camp. You weren't there for
the other OTAs where you're mandatory training camp. You didn't
(30:22):
show up for that, But now the season starts. But yeah,
he had some quarterbacks are pretty good golfers for the
most part. You know, Matt Ryan's pretty good, Rogers, pretty good.
Mahomes I think plays decent golf as well. It's like pitchers,
hockey players, pitchers and quarterbacks. For some reason, those guys
(30:43):
seem to be really good golfers. Charles Barkley not a
good golfer, but I give him credit that he continue
he's not. He comes on here and he's always like,
dam Bud, you gotta come out here. I'm gonna kick
your butt. And I'm watching him play. He not kicking
anybody's but he needs to kick his ome. Gun, but it's
(31:05):
different when you're playing in front of people. It's just
there's something about when I played at Pebble Beach in
the pro am, it was one of those where you go,
oh my god, these shots are going to be on TV.
You know, if you play in a celebrity event and
it's you know, it's some smaller country club somewhere, it's
just you and your buddies, and it's like, okay, no harm.
(31:27):
You know, you shoot an eighty four or something, who cares.
But when you're on TV and all of a sudden,
you can't hide. And one thing that Oberman did to
me when I was playing. This is mid nineties. I'm
playing Pebble Beach and I hit some decent shots, but
he got he edited. He had them edit together, so
I would swing and then it would end up in
(31:50):
the water. Even though it didn't end up in the water,
all of my shots that he was showing on Sports
Center ended up hitting into like the tall grass or
off a rock, or in the ocean. All to that.
And it wasn't funny at the time, but years later
it was like, all right, I'll give them credit, well
(32:10):
creativity there, all right, we'll come back, We'll give you
our best and worst of the weekend. More of your
phone calls is well on this Monday.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio AP.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
How many Grand Slams do you think have been hit
in Major League Baseball this year? Marvin, I'm going to
start with you. Total all the teams, how many Grand slams?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Seventeen?
Speaker 2 (32:41):

All right, Ton thirty six, Seaton fifty two. Now, the
record for most Grand slams at the All Star Break
since nineteen seventy four was set in two thousand ninety
(33:03):
four Grand Slam? What read into that? What you would like?
Beat steroid era twenty eighteen? Next on the last eighty six?
This year, eighty five Grand Slams have been hit so far.
(33:25):
How stell of a day? Start of a day, start
out of a day, scant.
Speaker 11 (33:30):
Out of a day?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
This is the stele of the day. I don't know
if there's a reason for it, but how about how
many home runs have been hit so far this season?
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
How many home runs total Major League base one hundred
and eighty three.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Way more than that.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm gonna try that again, Todd. How many total home
runs do you think have been hit by Major League
Baseball every team combined leading up to the All Star
two hundred and seventy four? You think it's like four hundred?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I really love four h two.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, let me try this again, Todd. How many home
runs of every player playing on every team so far
this season?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Six and eleven.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Well, if I could just be sure, we just established
that there have been eighty four Grand Slams.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Right, Yeah, that's why sometimes Todd doing other things. Sometimes
he's just not listening. More than six hundred. Let me
try this again. All of the players on all of
the teams, in all of the games going into the
All Star Game. If let me try it again, Todd.
(34:53):
What's the number of total home runs hit by everybody
who plays in Major League Baseball this year?
Speaker 10 (35:00):
Fifty seven?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Seat No Connor fifteen hundred, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yes, God, fourteen seventy two, all right, Palling seventeen hundred
and fifty.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
There have been three thy on runs hit so far
this season, sixth most at the All star break since
nineteen thirty three. That's insane, Toddy, Dad of the day,
that past Dad of the day, Stead of the day?
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Here comes that?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
What stat of the day? What was your first guest?
One hundred and fifty three? It was a very very
low number.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yes, especially more than the number of Grand slams.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Yeah, that's very reminiscent of the steak dinner you bought
us in Toronto and we were playing guest the bill
and it was five guys at a steakhouse for a
full night of steaks in drinks, and Todd guest won
on an eighty bucks I met.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Like almost the wine bill, Yeah, almost the wine bil.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Thirteen percent of all hits in Major League Baseball have
been home runs. Forty percent of all the runs scored
have come via home runs. Use that information however you want.
It's a very one dimensional I don't know what strikeouts are.
(36:25):
I just have the hitting so far at let me see. Yeah,
forty percent of all runs scored have come via home runs.
That's fourth most. The most was twenty nineteen, when almost
forty five percent of all runs came courtesy of home runs. Wow.
(36:45):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America
the official trading cards of the program. By the way,
I have four pies coming up in a little more
than an hour, and I didn't know if somebody would
have wanted to buy some goodwill and take one of
the pots. So you bank some goodwill if you take
one of my pies today. I had two on Friday
and I have four today.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Yes, Paul, so it's kind of a Jalen Brunson thing.
Good for the team. Banking goodwill is a vague phrase.
You know, it's not currency, it's well who knows, not tangible.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Who knows. If it's not current, you know, maybe it
is currency. Oh, could be anything. It could be anything,
a favorite, a later date, could be a day off,
could be Hey, I want to go to a wedding
in Ireland. I'm going to stay three days later because
I'm going to go to other countries. Oh that's right,
that's what Mario did. Yeah, Mary goes, Oh, I got
(37:39):
to go to this wedding and Ireland. I'm going to
miss a day or two. And then he comes back
and I said, I'm overhearing him tell people about his vacation. Yeah,
I went to Italy after Ireland and then I went
to you know, Denmark, and I'm like, what I thought
we were going to Ireland, dude for a wedding. Well,
I was there with my girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Yes, Mark, I just got breaking news. Mario just said
that he would take a pie for you.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
He should, happily, he should. He see, that's the thing.
He owes me one.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
So this is not banking goodwill.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So he owes me a pie and he he has
to take two pies.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
That's me, one for each country visited after Ireland.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Uh So, I don't know if anybody else backroom, guys,
if you would like to, you know, bank some goodwill.
If not, then I'll take the pies. I took the
pies on Friday. I'll take the pies today. If anybody
would like to bank some goodwill, let me start here
in the room. Any of the dan Neuts would like
to bank some goodwill? Okay, duly noted.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
See why would we bank great content when I mean
we can do it right now for the win and
then get more content again later.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Really being good producers, by.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Oh, is that what you're before going our banked goodwill
for the good of this show? We're actually being more
generous to the show. This is sacrificing ourselves.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Seems right.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Not backing you up here is better content than backing you.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
You're welcome, okay content. I didn't I didn't know I
was going to be thanking you. You're welcome. Can we
check picture day Ray if he would like to take
a pie Rob Nicks fan, maybe he would? Uh, weeks
the cameraman. I don't know if anybody wants to big
(39:38):
Germans on you know, maternity leave, so he's not around
to do that.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yes, Martin, I'm here from the IT team in the
back that everyone's passing you set Mario.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
All right, so I'm taking two. Mario's taken two. We'll
have that for you coming up in about an hour
from now. Thank you, Mario. Thank you Andy and on island,
Good morning Andy. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (40:04):
Hey Pp, thanks to calling me back. Yeah, uh, just
go to fret Sport very. I just passed to move
for dixit. I'll gladly turn around and come and take
a plight in the face for you.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
No problem today, Thank you, Andy. But it's got to
be somebody who works on staff here. But I appreciate that.
Good content. But now the audience is willing to take
a pie. Great audience. Uh Aiden in Utah? Hey Aiden,
(40:34):
Hey d morning talk.
Speaker 10 (40:38):
I will take you five to face if my goodwill
comes in a check. And I got to work the weekend.
Speaker 12 (40:45):
No best though, Okay, worse of the weekend.
Speaker 10 (40:48):
Five straight days. I get worse of the week five
straight days of triple.
Speaker 6 (40:52):
Digits out here in Utah.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Right, it's miserable.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, I was talking to uh, who do you the
blowfish guys? They were out in Salt Lake. They think
that was Thursday night hot Vegas, like one twenty Arizona,
banging on one twenty hot. I don't want to hear
from these people. You know, when it's ten below here
(41:18):
on the East coast. Wait, oh, yeah, you know it's
eighty one here. How about now
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our two on this Monday. Hope you
had a great weekend. Gangs here ready to go. Morale
is high.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Started my day off on a great note, got coffee,
taking the dog in, went through the car wash and
she accidentally opened up the passenger side window and I
got the car washed inside as well, realizing I got
four pies coming because England lost in the Euros to Spain.
And then I also realized my wife reminded me you
(00:33):
have a dentist appointment later today. Other than that, it's
a great day, best and worst of the weekend. What
you saw that you liked you didn't like? Eight seven
seven three DP. Show operator Tyler is sitting by stat
of the Day has always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. It
was kind of a big weekend for international sports with Wembledon,
(00:56):
with the Euros, with Copa America. You had the Scottish
Open as well. British Open will start coming up this
weekend this week as well. Pole question from hour one
is going to be what seed O'Connor.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The pole question from hour one was since we have
now moved past. Did Jalen Brunson have a good weekend?
Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I'd say yes he did. I'd say he got paid,
he got guaranteed money, and perception wise, he left a
lot of money on the table for the Knicks to
then go out and reinforce that roster, add to that roster.
So I would say yes. What did the audience say
about Jalen Brunson? Sixty seven percent of the audience agree
(01:40):
with you only sixty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, that feels high to me. I think people are
underappreciating how much money one hundred and thirteen million dollars
is somehow in.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
This that he left on the table. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, it's like why, Yeah, you did it for the
good of the team so you could win. Yeah, it's
he still chose to be like, I'll make thirty seven
million dollar less per year over the next three years.
That's that's a crazy amount of money. That's lottery money
that he's choosing to not even take.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But is he going to eventually get paid this money? Maybe?
Is he delaying this money not guaranteed, deferring this money not? Really,
he has the ability to get it back. That doesn't
mean that he is going to get it back, but
he has to stay healthy. Correct, Okay, correct, I'd still
say he had a really good weekend. I would say, yes,
(02:31):
even though he left one hundred and thirteen million dollars
on the table there.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I still say the Knicks had an infinitely better weekend
than he did.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Wooh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
They just talked their superstar player into leaving one hundred
and thirteen million dollars on the table.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I know, but every Knicks fan will look at
Jalen Brunson and go, that guy is a team first guy.
Look at what he did.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, Marvin, that's one hundred and thirteen million dollars less.
They better win a championship.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
But I hate to sound all lovey dovey, but I
wonder if there's something with Brunson who says, I really
do want to win and be rich. I could do both,
and I can delay the money help this team, knowing
that the currency of winning in New York City becomes
actual currency someday. If he said, if you bring the
Knicks to a title, I can't imagine what doors will
(03:29):
be open marketing wise for you in that city. In perpetuity.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But what if you don't, you're more likely that you don't.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
More likely, Yes, but you're helping your own cause you're
helping your own cost for it in the near future.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I think it's a big win for him. It's still
a lot of money that he's getting, and it's guaranteed,
and he's coming off an injury, and you'll get into
that next contract a year earlier. I think he's going
to do okay. I just I think the perception of this,
because this was really with Brady, Like, the perception was
(04:04):
man Brady taken less restructuring his deal and even when
he would do that, like he was probably the tenth
highest paid quarterback during part of his career. But I
also go back to Michael Jordan. When Jordan was taking less.
There was one year I believe when Michael was the
(04:24):
sixth highest paid Chicago Bull. Now he was making a
lot of money off the floor, but he was still
I mean, you still want to get your money. But
I always remember Michael did that because Mike realized, I
got to have a a as great as I am,
I have to have a really good team around me.
(04:45):
And what happens when you win you get paid. If
Michael Jordan was just Air Jordan and no championships, I
just don't think that you have. You know, you know
the amount of money that he's made off the floor
with Nike. When you win and you're Michael Jordan, that's
different than just man. That guy is a highlight. He's unbelievable.
(05:09):
We want winners. Mahomes wins, Brady wins. Winners get commercials,
except for Charles Barkley. I was watching Charles playing golf
yesterday in Tahoe. Charles talks a good game now. He
used to be really good. He used to be a
(05:30):
single digit. And I played against him one time and
we played in Dayton, Ohio in a celebrity event, and
we repaired with each other and he shot a seventy nine.
I shot an eighty one. And he was really really
good around the greens. It was legit. He shot a
seventy nine. And then all of a sudden he went
(05:51):
to a golf teacher, a pro and said, you should
pause for a second at the top of your golf swing,
because sometimes you know that transition, you move it so fast,
you know. They were like, just pause, seems simple. You
hear this you see this, A lot of golfers do that.
Charles couldn't get back down, and that's how all of
(06:15):
this happened for decades. And now you'll watch him swing.
It's a little more free flowing. It's not you know,
sort of a you know, like in segments there. And
I was watching him play. I'm not worried about Charles
being better a golfer than me. Not worried about that.
Anytime soon, I might have to play in that event
(06:36):
or just play Charles straight up in a golf event
made for TV. I don't know who's going to watch it,
but just be and Charles playing against one another. And
there's some it's the same guys who play in that
golf event who are always up there. Marty Fish is
always up there, John Smoltz is up there. Jack Wagner's
(06:56):
the same guys. Aaron Rodgers. I played with Roger there's
a is that twelve years ago, ten twelve years ago,
and he was just sort of starting out playing golf.
Him and Roethlisberger both played at the same event in Tahoe,
and Rogers is a good stick. Roethlisberger is a pretty
(07:18):
good stick as well. But you get out there, and
that's different than playing with your buddies on the weekend
because you got to play every shot. Now, if you
double bogie, you just pick it up, but you got
to play every shot, and there's a crowd there. You know,
Travis Kelsey ended up hitting somebody, Like the gallery thinks
you're actually decent, and they stand close and then you're
(07:38):
like no, no, no, back up, and then they laugh
and then they go, oh, you're just joking. And then
all of a sudden, somebody gets hit. But Travis Kelsey
hit somebody, hit a woman, end up giving her a
kiss on the arm or something. But you know, it's
a great event, beautiful place out there as well. But
seeing Charles play a little bit of golf, he's got
some work to do. Fritzy, did you reach out to Charles?
(08:00):
He was doing a lot of talking over the weekend
for a guy who's retiring. Okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Do you know what I noticed it about the American Century
and all those celebrity golf tournaments. The former players are
in it. Former athletes and actors, starting pitchers do very
well in these things. I'm looking at the leaderboard. It's
like Derek low Mark Moulder, John John Smoltz, because that's
all they did during their career, pitch, go with some
balls the next couple day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, they only have to be worried about one day
when they pitch, and then you got these other days.
Smoltz and Glavin Maddocks they would go play golf. If
if it you know, it was one of those days
when neither of the pitchers were pitching, they'd be playing golf,
you know, during the afternoon, and then you'd have a
night game. All right, see what's poll question for hour two?
(08:46):
Going to be.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I was putting up there who had the best weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Who had the worst weekend?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Those are always fun. I don't know if we got
to the worsts of the bunch, but England obviously did
not have a great weekend. Columbia did not have a
great weekend. Novak Djokovic, he didn't win, but still came
away from that loss looking pretty great. Even though he
got destroyed. He got to the finals. He got to
(09:14):
the finals.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm gonna say that, how many how many Grand Slam
finals has he played? It? I mean it's like thirty seven,
does that sound right? I think he's won twenty four.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's like won twenties.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I mean that's just it's like Jack Nicholas has
what eighteen majors? I think he finished second nineteen times.
Nolan Ryan has six no hitters and twelve one hitters. Yeah, Pa.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Novak Djokovic has won Wimbledon seven times, yeah yeah seven Yeah,
French Open three times, Australian a million times.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But how many times has he been in the finals? Yes,
Todd thirty seven Grand Slam finals appearance.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
As he said, Grand Slam titles twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's incredible, incredible, And here he is, I think, at
age thirty seven. And then you have Carlos Alcarez who's
twenty one, and he's the future, Like the future tennis
is right here now. It's not one of those boys.
If you don't get him now, you're not going to
get him in a couple of years. No, he's here
and everybody else is going. Now we got to you know,
(10:25):
it's almost like the Tom Brady Patrick Mahomes that you know,
here's this guy, hold on and he's going to give
another another go. Meanwhile, you got this guy who was
waiting and he is ready to take the mantle. He
is ready to be crown king. And that's what you
have with football, or had with football with the changing
(10:46):
of the quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
There.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
All right, So big weekend International Sports COPA final and Miami.
More on this. It was Argentina versus Columbia and it
was an ugly scene. Ugly scene. I think the wrong
I think the wrong people are being blamed here for
the crowd control. We'll talk about that, the security failure
that you had crowds pre game. They had to move
(11:09):
the starting time back, they kept moving it back. But
we'll have a reporter who was there and witnessed this
first hand. Barry in South Carolina. Barry, what's on your
mind today? Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Barry?
Speaker 8 (11:25):
First of all, Hey, but first of all, I'd be
remiss if I didn't acknowledge my nephew who graduated valedictorian
from the program the summer, so good job to him.
Second of all, best of the weekend, Alcarez blew past Djokovic.
I couldn't believe the three straight sets, unbelievable. And then
crazy dog story of the weekend, similar to yours. I
(11:48):
took my dog for a walk or shue me ride
my car, which I never really do. Got out a
car to drop off something to friends, left the car
running because it was super hot out. The dog locked
me out of the car. Yep, So an hour later
somebody came to fail me out. But I'm like, I'm big.
Can you like to step on that thing one more
time than you use to lock me out?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Please?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Thank you? Barry. Yeah. Whenever I go in to get
coffee and I have the dog there, and I always
take the keys because all it takes is just a
wrong step and the paul hits something and then you're
locked out, and then you're an idiot. You're just standing
there looking at your dog right through the windshield. Larry
in Michigan, Hi, Larry, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Hey damn, thanks for the call there. Today's my birthday,
so I'm kind of fired up about that and doing so.
I have a question. I wonder who's the little blond
dude underneath your microphone. On good days, I wake up
and hey, Bud, he's got a good smile. I waved
to him. On bad days when I wake up, I'm like, dude,
I don't know you quit waving to me. Take off
(12:51):
the glasses cause you're in the side.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
How about how about a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Yeah,
happy birthday. There that is Lou Holtz. If you're watching
on Peacock, that's when Lou was at Arkansas, and it
is a subtle reminder of I believe Lou was coaching
Arkansas when Arkansas beat Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. That's
(13:18):
the last bet I ever made. I believe it's nineteen
seventy eight or seventy nine. I have purposely tried to
blur it out of my mind my memory. Arkansas big underdog.
I think Lou Holtz was the head coach at Arkansas
at the time, and they beat Oklahoma. That's the last bet.
I lost thirty three hundred dollars on that bet. That's
(13:40):
the last bet I ever made. So Lou Holtz is
always there as a reminder.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't remember you tell me the number. That's a
lot of do back then?
Speaker 10 (13:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It was, yes, it was, yes, it was. I was
up six grand and I felt rolling. I felt strongly
about this. I was going to take Arkansas and the points.
Call my bookie and he says, uh so, what do
you What do you got? And I said, I like Arkansas.
(14:11):
I goes man, everybody's going Oklahoma. He talked me out
of it, and he knew that he was getting his
rear end handed to him by me, and he was
he would he wouldn't manipulate the line if I and
I realized this later because I would say, he'd say
who do you like? And I'd say, uh, I don't know.
(14:31):
What's the line on the Bears Packers game? And he goes, well,
what side? And I go, well, what's the line? And
you know, I like the Bears and the points, and
then he would jack up the line, knowing who I liked.
And then I stopped telling him who I liked because
he was manipulating the line right in front of me.
But yeah, I lost thirty three hundred dollars up six grand,
(14:54):
lost thirty three hundred. Never bet again. Well I did bet,
I guess because I bet that England would beat Spain.
And now I have four pies coming my way. I
had two to one Friday, I doubled down and I
got four coming in. It's okay, sorry, it's gonna be
a great story England beating Spain. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Look on the bright side, the pies didn't cost thirty
three hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Thank you, Marvin, what's the most you guys have ever bet? Marvin,
have you gambled? I have not big money on anything, No, No, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
On a single game, yeah, five hundred dollars and it
was a win. But it made me that was stretching
it for me as I was probably twenty two years old.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Seat and you ever bet big? Nah?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
No, I'm not much of a gambler.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah. See, I know that I have that DNA that's like,
it's bad, it's addicting, and therefore I was crazy about it.
And you're betting on everything and you think you're smarter,
like now I know a lot more, and now I
know a lot more. That's why I wouldn't bet, because
(16:10):
I know a lot more about the other side too.
And why my bookie drove a Lincoln Continental. It was
it was a powder blue Lincoln Continental and I was
riding a ten speed. You know there was a difference there.
All right, let me take a break. We'll have a
little bit more on what happened in South Florida last
(16:31):
night with Argentina winning Copa America and the reason why
I want to talk about it. You know, granted was
on US soil, but We're going to have the World
Cup coming here in a couple of years, and this
is one of those subtle reminders of the world is
coming to the United States. A lot of times we'll
watch what happens in other countries and we're removed from
(16:54):
it because it doesn't affect us. But last night it
should affect us, and hopefully we will learn in two
years how to handle this. More on that from a
reporter who was there in Miami last night. Take a
break back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
It was Wald to Wall International Sports yesterday. You start
out with Wembledon. It's awesome when the British opener Wembledon.
It's early in the morning and you're like yeah, and
then all of a sudden, you start to plan your day.
Next thing, you know, you got soccer in the afternoon
with the Euros, and then Summer League basketball, and then
(18:19):
at night you had COPA And I'm watching because I'm
friends with Rob Stone, he's the host of Fox Sports,
and so he's hosting this and I keep waiting, like
I'm waiting to go When are they going to go
out to the event? And they kind of downplayed what
was going on prior to the game leading up to
(18:40):
the game, and all of a sudden you realize that,
you know, the Copa America final with Argentina and Columbia
was a mess. And we wanted to talk to somebody
who was there. Paul tan Orio, the senior writer for
The Athletic. He was there and joins us from the
Fort Lauderdale area. Paul, thanks for joining us. When did
you really something something was wrong pregame.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, it was a little bit before six o'clock. We
started to hear that there were issues with people that
were jumping fences trying to get into the games, and
we saw a couple photos on the Getty wires actually
of people being arrested. And so at that point, my
colleagues Felipe Card and us Jack Laying and myself we
went down to the gates to see what was going on.
And I got down there at about six five or so,
(19:28):
and right around when I got down there, they closed
the gates. And at that point you're kind of thinking, Okay,
they're going to try to get control of this situation.
But very quickly, within a few minutes, I realized that
the decision to close the gates was going to be
one that made the situation worse, not better. And I
didn't go back upstairs and still, you know, well after
(19:49):
eight pm and just spend the next two hours documenting
everything that was going on around the gates and all
of the madness and the issues that were playing out.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How close was this to a disaster last night?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I think really close.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
There was a point, probably around eight o'clock I turned
to my colleague and I said, I think someone might
end up dying tonight if they don't do something to
change this drastically. And you know that's why when they
opened the gates at eight fifteen, it was not an
ideal scenario at all. And it was not a safe,
you know, a safe solution, right to just let everyone
(20:25):
into the stadium, not check tickets, not pat people down,
not go through metal detectors. But I felt it was
the only solution. The people that were crushed up against
those gates had been there for hours. The temperatures were
in the nineties. It was my hottest day here in
South Florida of the five days that I was here
in the lead up to the game. You know, when
I came into the stadium at three pm, obviously it's
(20:48):
three or four hours ahead of this, it was it
was it was just so hot. The sun was bearing
down right on that gate, the southwest gate of the
stadium where I was watching, and I was thinking to myself,
I wasn't surrounded by anybody at that point. And I
came in soaking wet with sweat, and hours and hours
of watching people come through the gates having fainted, being
carried in unconscious kids coming in completely red, soaked, their
(21:12):
t shirts, soaked in sweat, crying that something had to
be done. And again it wasn't a perfect solution, but
had they not opened the gates, I think it would
have been worse.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Who was running the security, well.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
The logistics of this tournament were run by Cole make Ball,
the association of the South American teams that puts on
the Cope America. You know, the last time Copa America
was here in the United States was twenty sixteen, the
Copa America Centinnadio. That tournament, a lot of the logistics
and operations were run by Soccer United Marketing, which is
Major League Soccer's marketing arm. US Soccer played a big
(21:46):
role this time around. Cole mad Ball wanted to run
everything top to bottom, and you know, it was, you know,
it was a little bit of a mess this entire tournament.
For I was there in opening night Argentina played Canada
and Atlanta, the logistics weren't great and all the way
through the last day. Now, once you're at the stadium,
of course, the coordination was happening between the security firm
(22:07):
that works at hard Rock Stadium, the hard Rocks stadium
operations people. I saw many of them down at the
Southwest gate trying to I don't even want to say coordinated.
I don't know exactly what they were doing, because there
wasn't a lot of communication happening even behind the gates,
let alone to the people that were stuck in front
of them. And then the Miami Dade police officers and
fire department were right there at the Southwest gate where
(22:28):
I was, So there were a lot of organizations working
in the moment, but there wasn't a lot of organization
happening and almost no communication. I mean, my editor's family
was outside of the gates. Friends of mine outside of
the gates were telling me they had no idea the
game had been delayed. You know, they went to get
to the gate and they were within eight feet of
the gate when it closed, and then you're stuck. You
(22:48):
can't go anywhere, And it was just a really, really
dangerous situation. And I'm surprised that the organization the preparation
for this was not good enough, almost as if, you know,
the hard Rock thought to themselves, Hey, we're hosting a
soccer game, not a continental final, with two of the
most passionate fan bases in the world who also happen
(23:10):
to have enormous communities in South Florida, they were not
ready for the rush of people that were going to
come to that stadium.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, let's fast forward to this, the United States hosting
the World Cup in a couple of years. How do
we learn from this? It feels like this keeps happening
over and over and over. I don't know if we're
learning from that. So how do you troubleshoot this?
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Well?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I think FIFA has their hands full in multiple ways.
First of all, I think they need to be able
to communicate to people that it'll be different when they
run things, when they organize things, it'll be a completely
different set of operations, different organization running things. Commobole is
an organization that reports essentially to FIFA. They are not FIFA,
so you know that hopefully will give you a little
bit of security. Thinking. FIFA's done World Cups before all
(23:55):
around the world. But I think for the American stadium
operations in all of these different cities, I hope that
they learn that the security logistics for these big games
have to be different around around the stadium, you know,
in other countries, they have multiple layers of security to
get to the stadium so that you don't have these
rushes at the gates, because this is happening more and more,
(24:15):
Like you said, we saw it in a Champions League
final in Europe. Obviously, with what happened yesterday, there has
to be there have to be checkpoints in order to
kind of filter out some of the people who who
are trying to get into these games without tickets or
else you end up with these with these bad situations.
And I will say at the early portion of this,
you know, they tried to open the gates a couple
of times, crack them open, and people would rush towards
(24:38):
those openings, and that's human nature. I mean they were
they were stuck there, they were trying to get out,
and then they would close the gates again. It was
there was this concern between letting people in that didn't
have tickets and the issues that can come from that
and the safety of the people themselves. And again I
think it shows that the security that FIFA has to
go through with these stadiums, with these local police offices,
(25:00):
they have to be diligent in creating checkpoints to prevent
a build up at the gates themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Could this have been Messi's last big match? Yeah, it
could have been.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
You know, he didn't. First of all, Argentina didn't come
through the mix zone at the end of the night,
so we didn't get to talk to the players at all.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
After the game.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
A lot of the focus, and Messi made sure a
lot of the focus was on on healthy Madia. It
being his last match, he was never going to take
that moment away from him, and so you know, they said,
no one talked about it being Messi's last match. I
wouldn't be surprised if he decided at one point it was.
But I have a feeling he's going to stick around.
He seems to. I've never seen him so happy. You
see him in the mix zone after the semifinal. He
(25:39):
was smiling and laughing and just really enjoying himself within
this group. Argentina is still playing in World Cup qualifiers.
He's still playing for Inner Miami, I think, as long
as he's playing club soccer, but probably play for Argentina.
But now we wait, We wait and see how the
ankle heels up, and we wait and see if giving
himself a couple of days of space between this trophy
and starting some medical work on his ankle make some
(26:02):
reflect on whether this this should be the end.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Thank you, Paul. We appreciate you joining us and thank you,
thanks so much. That's Paul t an Oreo the Athletic
covering last night. Yeah, there were there were two different events.
There was the game itself, the match itself, and then
what was happening prior to that. And you know there's
the documentary that was on Wembley. Was that the Euro's
(26:29):
Seaton a few years ago?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, that was just the last ones England, Italy, Italy.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yes, and if you're watching that documentary, it is you
can you can see it, you can feel it like
it's it's coming. And all of a sudden, these fans,
now there was a ton of drinking and they started
early and it was a mess. And then all of
a sudden they brought the party to Wembley and they
(26:56):
were getting in and they were getting in no matter what.
You almost have to if you can have a barricade
outside of the barricade, like you have these checkpoints to
allow people in. But you know, the World Cup is
going to be on home soil here, it's different, like
we don't. We're not passionate about soccer the way these
(27:17):
countries are, and you have to understand that with your
security measures. They were going through air conditioning ducks, you know, vents,
they were trying any way they could. And there were
people who had tickets who went to their seats and
people were sitting in their seats and they weren't getting up.
People didn't get in who had tickets. It's a lot
(27:40):
of money that you spent and then you didn't even
get into the event. Like that's inexcusable. I'm not going
to put this all on South Florida and the police
and security there because it wasn't run by them, but
I mean there's enough blame to go around. I've mentioned
this before. I was working in in Ohio and we
(28:01):
had tickets to the Who concert in Cincinnati, the Who
concert where eleven people died. And we got down there
and we saw ambulances and you saw body bags, you know,
on the viaduct there with Riverfront Coliseum. You know, all
it takes is and it shouldn't take that, but you
(28:21):
have something that is etched in my memory bank of
this was festival seating doors were crashed, glasses crashed, people
were squished, they were crushed. So I hope and we
always say this, well, the next time we'll learn from this. Okay,
(28:43):
I hope we learned from this and understand this and
the passion that's there. And you saw that last night,
watch that Wembley documentary. It is very sad day on
a variety of fronts there when you're watching how that unfolded.
All right, we'll get some phone calls best and worst
of the weekend. We'll have that for you coming up.
(29:04):
We will give you our best and worst of the
weekend strict in Tennessee. Hey, Stric what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (29:10):
Good morning, gentlemen, perfect being am I five to two
one sixty Okay, I thought maybe Sian would have had
this on his first full question. It's my best and
the best invested weekend, have no negativity all possible. How
about an eagle birdie birdie finish in the Scottish Open
(29:34):
for a scotsmand to win.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Cool, cool cool. And then the other best of the
weekend would be our careers kicking. Djokovic vich is reared
and I'm thinking, you know, Djokovic and maybe Aaron Rodgers
would get together and going wing and crying to be together.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
They seem to have similar kind of attitudes about things.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I thank you strick Aaron Rodgers playing golf over the weekend,
and he said that the season starts now. Now the
off season ends on Sunday, Now the regular season starts.
I don't know what that means other than yeah, you're
supposed to go to training camp. You weren't there for
the other OTAs where you're mandatory training camp. You didn't
(30:22):
show up for that, But now the season starts. But yeah,
he had some quarterbacks are pretty good golfers for the
most part. You know, Matt Ryan's pretty good, Rogers, pretty good.
Mahomes I think plays decent golf as well. It's like pitchers,
hockey players, pitchers and quarterbacks. For some reason, those guys
(30:43):
seem to be really good golfers. Charles Barkley not a
good golfer, but I give him credit that he continue
he's not. He comes on here and he's always like,
dam Bud, you gotta come out here. I'm gonna kick
your butt. And I'm watching him play. He not kicking
anybody's but he needs to kick his ome. Gun, but it's
(31:05):
different when you're playing in front of people. It's just
there's something about when I played at Pebble Beach in
the pro am, it was one of those where you go,
oh my god, these shots are going to be on TV.
You know, if you play in a celebrity event and
it's you know, it's some smaller country club somewhere, it's
just you and your buddies, and it's like, okay, no harm.
(31:27):
You know, you shoot an eighty four or something, who cares.
But when you're on TV and all of a sudden,
you can't hide. And one thing that Oberman did to
me when I was playing. This is mid nineties. I'm
playing Pebble Beach and I hit some decent shots, but
he got he edited. He had them edit together, so
I would swing and then it would end up in
(31:50):
the water. Even though it didn't end up in the water,
all of my shots that he was showing on Sports
Center ended up hitting into like the tall grass or
off a rock, or in the ocean. All to that.
And it wasn't funny at the time, but years later
it was like, all right, I'll give them credit, well
(32:10):
creativity there, all right, we'll come back, We'll give you
our best and worst of the weekend. More of your
phone calls is well on this Monday.
Speaker 1 (32:16):

The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six

Speaker 11 (33:30):
Out of a day?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
This is the stele of the day. I don't know
if there's a reason for it, but how about how
many home runs have been hit so far this season?
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
How many home runs total Major League base one hundred
and eighty three.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Way more than that.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm gonna try that again, Todd. How many total home
runs do you think have been hit by Major League
Baseball every team combined leading up to the All Star
two hundred and seventy four? You think it's like four hundred?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I really love four h two.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, let me try this again, Todd. How many home
runs of every player playing on every team so far
this season?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Six and eleven.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Well, if I could just be sure, we just established
that there have been eighty four Grand Slams.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Right, Yeah, that's why sometimes Todd doing other things. Sometimes
he's just not listening. More than six hundred. Let me
try this again. All of the players on all of
the teams, in all of the games going into the
All Star Game. If let me try it again, Todd.
(34:53):
What's the number of total home runs hit by everybody
who plays in Major League Baseball this year?
Speaker 10 (35:00):
Fifty seven?
Speaker 2 (35:01):

Speaker 2 (35:17):
There have been three thy on runs hit so far
this season, sixth most at the All star break since
nineteen thirty three. That's insane, Toddy, Dad of the day,
that past Dad of the day, Stead of the day?
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Here comes that?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
What stat of the day? What was your first guest?
One hundred and fifty three? It was a very very
low number.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yes, especially more than the number of Grand slams.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Yeah, that's very reminiscent of the steak dinner you bought
us in Toronto and we were playing guest the bill
and it was five guys at a steakhouse for a
full night of steaks in drinks, and Todd guest won
on an eighty bucks I met.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Like almost the wine bill, Yeah, almost the wine bil.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Thirteen percent of all hits in Major League Baseball have
been home runs. Forty percent of all the runs scored
have come via home runs. Use that information however you want.
It's a very one dimensional I don't know what strikeouts are.
(36:25):
I just have the hitting so far at let me see. Yeah,
forty percent of all runs scored have come via home runs.
That's fourth most. The most was twenty nineteen, when almost
forty five percent of all runs came courtesy of home runs. Wow.
(36:45):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America
the official trading cards of the program. By the way,
I have four pies coming up in a little more
than an hour, and I didn't know if somebody would
have wanted to buy some goodwill and take one of
the pots. So you bank some goodwill if you take
one of my pies today. I had two on Friday
and I have four today.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Yes, Paul, so it's kind of a Jalen Brunson thing.
Good for the team. Banking goodwill is a vague phrase.
You know, it's not currency, it's well who knows, not tangible.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Who knows. If it's not current, you know, maybe it
is currency. Oh, could be anything. It could be anything,
a favorite, a later date, could be a day off,
could be Hey, I want to go to a wedding
in Ireland. I'm going to stay three days later because
I'm going to go to other countries. Oh that's right,
that's what Mario did. Yeah, Mary goes, Oh, I got
(37:39):
to go to this wedding and Ireland. I'm going to
miss a day or two. And then he comes back
and I said, I'm overhearing him tell people about his vacation. Yeah,
I went to Italy after Ireland and then I went
to you know, Denmark, and I'm like, what I thought
we were going to Ireland, dude for a wedding. Well,
I was there with my girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Yes, Mark, I just got breaking news. Mario just said
that he would take a pie for you.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
He should, happily, he should. He see, that's the thing.
He owes me one.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
So this is not banking goodwill.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So he owes me a pie and he he has
to take two pies.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
That's me, one for each country visited after Ireland.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Uh So, I don't know if anybody else backroom, guys,
if you would like to, you know, bank some goodwill.
If not, then I'll take the pies. I took the
pies on Friday. I'll take the pies today. If anybody
would like to bank some goodwill, let me start here
in the room. Any of the dan Neuts would like
to bank some goodwill? Okay, duly noted.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
See why would we bank great content when I mean
we can do it right now for the win and
then get more content again later.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
