Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. I hope you had a great weekend. Everybody
gang's all here ready to go. On this Monday, I
started my day, got my coffee, decided I was going
to drive my car through the car wash, got Tom Petty.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
On the radio.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Everything's good, and all of a sudden, going through the
car wash, and then my dog Winnie presses the button
for the window. The window goes down, and all of
a sudden, I've got water inside the car. So I
spilled my coffee and then I have to go over
to the other side of the car close the window.
And that's how I started my day. And then I
(00:40):
realized it's only going to get better from here because
I lost a bet. I lost a bet on the
Euros because I had England beating Spain. I had England
winning it all to start the event, and I doubled down.
So now I got four pies coming my way later today,
got two on Friday, and then I took Pauli's bet
(01:00):
if England would win, we'd wipe away two of those pies.
So that's how I started my day. I get to
end my day with four pies. How's your Monday going.
Come on in, stay a while. I love my dog,
but all of a sudden she gets so nervous in
the car wash, and all of a sudden, I'm just
sipping coffee, singing to learning to Fly, but I ain't
(01:22):
got wings.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Boom, it's the window.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Water comes splashing in and then I go okay, can
only get better from here, only to be reminded four
pies later. Today we say good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Come on
in and stay a while. Have a poll question. We
got to play of the Day, stat of the Day,
and we have a lot of good times on the way.
(01:46):
And the Minister of Humor, Todd Fritz is here in
the back row. Hi, Hi, Todd Seaton's here, Marvin Paully,
yours truly, Yes, he is Minister of Hume.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Tod Staut of the.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Day has always brought to you my Panini America, the
official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You had
your I guess, non typical sporting events over the weekend
that took center stage. You had international sporting events. You
had the Euros, you had COPA, the Scottish Open, as well,
and you still had baseball. You had some summer league
(02:20):
games as well. Carlos Alcarez, you had tennis winning Wembledon again,
Spain over the Euros wins the Euros, i should say,
and Argentina wins Copa America. Cleveland gets the number one
draft pick and Major League Baseball in in case you're
following that, and home run derby tonight in Arlington, Texas.
So it was a busy weekend, an interesting weekend, a
(02:42):
different weekend, and we'll try to dissect some of the
main stories there. Say good morning to our radio affiliates,
those chatting on chat Row. Operator Tyler is sitting by
taking your phone calls. We always do every Monday, Best
and Worst of the weekend. What you saw that you
liked and you didn't like. First Hour brought to you

buying should be all right Seaton Pole question for hour
one is going to be what.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, we've got some pole questions. Off of pole questions
originally started with who had the best weekend? Now we're
trying to figure out if this person actually had a
good weekend or not. So who had the best weekend?
Carlos Alcarez great weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Feels like he's been around for about ten years, but
he's only twenty one. And you're watching and I'm watching
the future present day and I'm going wow, and you
could tell, you know, players know, they know before we know.
And you could tell that Novak Djokovic was like, oh boy,
(04:00):
and he was trying to speed up the pace. He
was trying whatever he could do to kind of take
him off his game. And it didn't matter because the
future of tennis is here.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Now what else?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Spain? Spain had a great weekend. Not only did Carlos
Alcarez win, but then Spain the soccer team won the
Euros beat England.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Great great weekend. Too soon to bring that up for me, Yes, winning.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The Euros not a great weekend for everybody, but for
the Spanish, Yes, yes that was that was a great,
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That was a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I will you know if you're going Sunday morning and
then Sunday late afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yes, Spain did very very well.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Argentina did well. They did, they won as well. They're
on just a tear of a major. Although I'm worried
about Messi's ankle, as you should be.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, that didn't look good and that did not look good.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Now the next option is Jalen Brunson slash Nicks, to
which I would wonder. I think the Knicks had a
great weekend. They talked their superstar player until eaven over
one hundred million dollars on the table. Yeah, I don't
know if Jalen Brunson had a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh, I think he did, because perception wise he's a hero.
Perception wise he is. However, the cost of this brief
blip of public generosity is over one hundred million dollars.
It was one thirteen to be exact. But is he
going to eventually get the money. He's just not getting
the money now. Maybe Okay, twenty seven years of age
(05:30):
and he could have gotten a larger bag.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
As they like to say, it's costing him thirty seven
million dollars a year because he's eligible. This is the
understanding that as far as I think we could tell,
because I'm not great with contracts, is he can possibly
recoup this money after year three. So in like year
like four or five, say that he would be up
(05:55):
for a new deal, there's a year four player option
that then he could trigger that would then basically allow
him or give him the ability to recoup that one
hundred and thirteen million dollars. But he is gambling it
over the next three years.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But he does get into the next contract a year
earlier as well.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yes, So assuming there's nothing catastrophic that happens in the
next three years, I think that's the gamble.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, you know, he's coming off an injury surgery, not
going to be able to play on the Olympic team
because of that, but he had a great postseason perception wise.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Boy, this is big. It's big.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Knicks fans are essentially putting up the statue again already.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes, yes, do the Knicks have any statues. They have
money to spend on one now, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Think they have any statues. I think they just have
jerseys that they retire. But if you were going to
put up a statue, well, if you're putting up a statue.
You got a few other names to put up, but
Jalen Brunson gave you that feel good story, and the
Knicks usually don't have a feel good story. But what
he did, it's still generational wealth. While they said, ah,
(07:05):
he's you know, kind of forfeiting generational wealth while making
generational wealth on the same day. But I think if
you're going to and he said he was taking inspiration
from Derek Jeter, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes that they
took less to be able to ensure that you're still
able to keep the core, you know. You know, they
(07:26):
went out and got Michael Bridges resigning oj A Nanobi,
so they they're doing some really good things and keeping
that core together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The Nova Nicks.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If I'm giving up that kind of money, do I
have any say in what you're doing with my money?
Usually doesn't happen that way. But if I'm Jalen Brunson
at age twenty seven, do they say, Jalen, we were
thinking of spending forty million of your money on this guy.
What do you think it'd be kind of cool if
(07:58):
he was like, I don't know, oh, you know, can
we get him for thirty seven million let him be
sort of player GM here.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's when he learns the lesson of them saying, yeah, yeah,
it's not your money, it's our money. You could say,
we didn't give it to you, so that's our money.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Still.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
See that's how that works.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's only yours if we give it to you.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh oh, so it's not as got it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Because Brady didn't get a chance to do that. Patrick Mahomes,
I don't think got a chance to do that. I
don't think Derek Jeter as well. But that's where you
have to have full trust in the front office that
they're going to do the right thing. Because I always
go back to the Cleveland Browns always had draft picks,
and I said, it doesn't matter if you don't know
(08:39):
how to draft, and they didn't know how to draft,
but they always had a lot of draft picks. Meanwhile,
Baltimore would have like two draft picks and they would
always find a Hall of Famer in those two draft picks.
It's who's drafting. But I think what the Knicks are
building on is pretty special. And I think what we
saw with the postseason and now the off season, Yeah,
(09:03):
they're on a pretty good run and it's been a
long time. When's the last time we were really looking
at the Knicks as competitors?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is is it? You go back to Carmelo days?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean, and they're likable as well, which is that's
been a while since we've looked at a Knicks team.
I mean we had you know, uhlynsanity and you liked
that story.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Doesn't mean you like the Knicks. Yeah, Mark, the.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Knicks have always been likable. People just hated the owner.
It really hasn't been a Knicks team. Maybe the you
you know, depending on how you like to play basketball.
Pe wouldn't like the ewing Oakley Knicks. But the past
twenty years, what Knicks team's been unlikable? Well, Colan's been unlikable.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, But I don't know if you like the Knicks,
you're just indifferent towards them. Yeah, you just didn't not
like that mean you didn't go like this visceral reaction
I hate the Knicks. Now now it's like you can
look at that team and go, man, they're fun to
watch and Jalen Brunson, good for him what he's done.
You know, you're in Dallas and all of a sudden,
oh yeah, that's the guy who's with Luca, and then
(10:05):
all of a sudden it's like re sign him. No,
we're gonna move on from him. And then he goes
to the Knicks and he becomes a legitimate star. So
I think, good for him, good for the Knicks, and hopefully,
hopefully they can capitalize on this.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, One thing I learned about in this
whole story is that there's aprons of the salary cap.
I had never heard the phrase before aprons. So Brunson
taking less money now keeps the Knicks out of the
second apron level, which I guess is bad territory. You
don't want to go second aprin in first apron is fine.
It's a punitive threshold that severely limits a team's ability
to make trades, sign players, and use draft picks. But
(10:41):
if you're in New York the past few days, all
you know is like the kid from the Knicks just
left one hundred million on the table.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's the perception, yes.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But he did. I think that's the reality of it.
But he can still recoup the I don't think anybody
looked at Tom Brady and goes man, he left all
that money on the table. He'll never get that back.
Or Patrick Mahomes, they're eventually going to get that money.
You know what gets you paid winning winning, Derek Jeter, winning, Mahomes, winning,
(11:10):
Rady winning. That's when you get paid because then it's
more than just this is your salary here.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Winning gets you paid. All right? Who are the other
people on there?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That we had Alcarez and we had Jalen Brunson, anybody
else who might have had a great weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, I think we go with did Jalen Brunson have
a good weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yes? Or no?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Did he have a good weekend, a great weekend or
a bad weekend? Perhaps something like that. We'll also throw
out there who had the best weekend? I feel like
we left off Sergio Garcia want to live golf event
this weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Some people on Twitter are saying, hey, you forgot about
the live event, Like I had no idea what was
even happening.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, he didn't even qualify for the British Open. I
mean if he already won the live yes he did. Yes,
where ever that was played, he did win that. You're right,
so congratulations to Sergio. You won't be playing in the
British out golf plump, golf of plumps. Who else do
(12:13):
you want to put on there?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I had a lot of fun watching Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, it's a cool event. And when you go there,
when you go into the stadium, the stadium looks bigger
than what it is. It's like the first time I
went to Notre Dame for a game, you know, watching
it on TV, the way they framed it, it's like, man,
this is a huge stadium. Then you go in there
and you go it's not a huge stadium. Now, this
is before the renovations. But when you go to Wimbledon
(12:41):
and a lot of these tennis venues, you're like, wow,
that looks like majestic. And then you go there and
you're like, man, this is quaint. But the event it's
still great. I like Kate Middleton got a standing ovation.
How about that? I think she got the biggest of
applause of anybody there. Battling cancer and shows up there.
(13:04):
It's pretty cool. I also like the interviews after the match. Now,
I know it's difficult for the person who lost because
they have to stand there while Djokovic has to stand
there while Alcarez is telling you one liners here and
then he's going to get the big trophy. But Joker
realizes all the years that he was the one who
(13:24):
was getting the bigger trophy, and somebody always had to
wait for him to be done with the interview.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But I do like it.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You're playing to the audience and this is what tennis
has done. The event is over now. Normally they have
just the winner on, but with Wembledon, you're having both
on and doing an interview, and I think it comes
off really well. So all right, well settle on a
poll question here. Got a lot of things to talk about.
(13:50):
Argentina over Columbia, but that really wasn't the story. It
was leading up to the COPA Finals, Spain over England, England,
you bumms, alcarez. Wimbledon, the international sports took center stage
over the weekend. Uh so we'll come back. Let's see
(14:10):
fifteen after them, back after this. Fox Sports Radio has

Speaker 1 (15:02):
It was wall 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've got soccer in the afternoon
with the Euros, and then Summer League basketball, and then
(15:22):
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
(15:43):
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. Paulton 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 realize something was
(16:04):
something was wrong? Pregame.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
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 Lang and myself we
went down to the gates to see what was going on.
And I got down there at about six h five
(16:30):
or so, 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,
(16:51):
well after 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 shoes that were
playing out.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
How close was this to a disaster last night?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Yeah, I think really close. 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
(17:27):
to just let everyone 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.
(17:48):
You know, when I came into the stadium at three pm,
obviously it's 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,
(18:09):
being carried in, unconscious, kids coming in completely red, soaked
their 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 (18:24):
Who was running the security well.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
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
(18:49):
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
(19:10):
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
(19:31):
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
(19:51):
can't go anywhere. And it was just a really, really
dangerous situation. And I'm surprised that the organization, the preparation
for the was not good enough. It was 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
(20:13):
also happen 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 1 (20:20):
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 8 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 7 (20:35):
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
(20:58):
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,
(21:18):
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
(21:41):
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,
(22:03):
they have to be diligent in creating checkpoints to prevent
a build up at the gates themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Could this have been Messi's last big match, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It could have been. 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. After the game. 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
(22:34):
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 MI zone after the semifinal. He 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
(22:55):
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 makes some reflect on whether this this
should be the end.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Thank you, Paul. We appreciate you joining us and thank you,
thanks so much. That's Paul tn Orio, 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. Be sure to catch

Alrighty final hour poll question, it's a busy sports Sunday
that we've recapped. We'll give you our best and worst
of the weekend. Also, Paulie has a movie question about
a film that came out thirty three years ago, Seaton.
What's the poll question for the final hour of this
award nominated program.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, one here from Paulie. If you had to buy
stock in one of these people or persons, Okay, Carlos Alcarez, Yes,
that's yes. I don't know. Are you still you're not
really buying low anymore at this point? Right in that
stock you're buying Yeah, you're buying high. You're buying high ish, yes, right, yes, yeah,
paul Skins, that's like the stock pick somebody just told
(24:40):
you about. It kind of already happens, but you can
still get in fast enough to be like, oh, yeah,
I had it early.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's usually what I get. It's already happened.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And then somebody says, hey, I got a tip here,
and I go on, what and then you realize why
didn't you tell me, like a couple of months ago.
So Paul Skans a couple of months ago, Scottie Chef, Yeah,
that's that's already. He's the favorite for the British Open,
the Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Victor Wembanyama. You know what, those last two names right
there feel like there's still value picks for some reason,
despite being highly successful, they're both sort of a value pick. Like, man,
this feels like there's a higher ceiling here.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Okay, would you throw in CJ. Strou Sure? That was scripted?
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Shit?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You put c J.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Stroud and it feels like you're just scratching the surface.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah sure, quarterback, Yeah, yeah, sure if you want to
sure CJ Stroud in there with you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
If there's a list of only four people, who are
you taking off to put c J.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Stroud on?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, you want Victor Wembenyama on there because he's what
nineteen years of age? Alcarez is twenty one, Scheffler's what
twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm gonna take him off.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You're gonna take him off? Yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You'd have Carlos Alcarez, Paul Skins, Victor Wembanyama, c J. Stroud. Okay,
anyone else.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'm gonna take Alcarez.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm gonna take him because I'm not as concerned about
the competition that he's gonna be facing. He's the best
and he's twenty one. There's a lot of good quarterbacks
out there, a lot of good football teams out there.
Victor we Benyama doesn't have a good team around him.
You're gonna be a little while. And he's playing in
(26:38):
the West. Schemes, is playing for the Pirates, probably not
gonna be playing in big games. That doesn't mean he's
not gonna be a great pitcher. But I'm looking at
team success to go along with individual success. Individual success,
that's what Carlos Alcarez is all about.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's just about him. Yes, Tom not to.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Be a Debbie downer, which I've been in the past,
But how much do you factor in most at least
like could get injured based on their body type and
their career and the sport.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That they play.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Well, you have to factor that in when you're buying
your stock. I guess everybody can get banged up. Schemes
as hard as he throws Victor Wembenyama, his build, Carlos
al Carez in a sport that grinds you down. Everybody
seems to have, you know, problems there, whether it's foot, shoulder, wrist, knee, Who.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Else am I missing?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Crowd?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you play the position a quarterback? Yeah, Paully, you
know I would.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I would keep see Scotti Scheffer. I keep on there
even at twenty eight, because he seems so consistent and
he'd be great. But I wonder if buying into him,
he might be the Pete Sampras of his sport, where
there's greatness, but the entertainment value at least early in
Sanpress's career wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Scheffler's already established himself, but I don't know if he's
a marketing darling and will ever be a marketing dark Well,
I'm I'm buying into a stock on just how successful
you're going to be. Scotti Scheffler is never going to
be dynamic, right, Even how he plays is not dynamic.
Al Karez has everything, looks good, plays powerful, got charisma there,
(28:14):
twenty one years of age, wemban Yama still waiting. I
don't know enough about him personality wise, but it does
seem like he's certainly a mature nineteen year old.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
C J.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Stroud got some personality there as well, But no, Alcarez
is twenty one.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Years of age.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He's the best in his sport at twenty one years
of age, and it doesn't feel like he has a
rival right now. You know, when Djokovic, what Djokovic did
makes it even more impressive that he was always the
third guy. He wasn't the best tennis player, and then
all of a sudden, you know, Federer, you know, is
starting to fall apart, Nadal falling apart. Djokovic outlasted everybody
(28:58):
and sort of became the best player, maybe the best
player of all time, by just sort of being there.
He was always you playing thirty seven Grand Slam finals,
thirty seven you went twenty four. Hard to argue that, though,
I mean, it really is hard to argue that.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
It was like, Wow, that is consistency.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
We'll get phone calls coming up best and worst of
the weekend. The movie question I was wondering. I was
talking about how many Grand Slams have been hit, third
most since nineteen seventy four going into the All Star Game,
plus forty percent of the runs in Major League Baseball
come about courtesy of a home run.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's one of the all time haunts.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I was curious, strikeout wise, how many strikeouts do you
think have happened so far this season in Major League Baseball? Todd,
you have been absolutely positively horrible at guessing. So I'm
going to start with you. How many total? Once again,
every player, every team total, all together leading up to
(30:05):
the All Star.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
I think a couple hundred guys must have struck out total.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Man, Now, I'm gonna go with them.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Nine thousand, six oh six, nine thousand.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
That seems like a big number.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Nine thousand strikeouts, A lot of strikeouts. Okay, see O'Connor.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
We landed at how many home runs?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
It was a lot though, h it was over fifteen hundred.
I think there's like seventeen. I'm gonna guess ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Ten thousand strikeouts? How many home runs have been hit?
Do we have?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
That?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I might have thrown it away.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
As many, like three thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I thought it was six thousand. Was it something six thousand?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Why are you?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Why are you yelling?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Let's play the game again. We could all guess again.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Okay, yeah, two hundred and four. I'm gonna guess one thousand,
seven hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Okay, there's three thousand, one hundred and seventy one home
runs that have been hit so far this season.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
How do we not remember that after the fact?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
You know? Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
How many strikeouts collectively? Seating you had yours?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
How many home runs?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Was it.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Three and seventy one?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, I'm gonna guess there's for every one home run,
there's got to be at least two or three strikeouts, right,
this is the formula. Right, I'm gonna stick with ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's probably low. Marvin, I'm gonna go sixteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's a good guest, Paul. Ten thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Twenty four thousand, two hundred and fourteen strikeouts, second most
at the All Star Break since nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Startup a day, start of the day, stat of the day,
Start of the day, Statu the day, startup day, start
of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Start st out of the Day.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Brought to you by Panini America, the Official Trading Cards,
The Dan Patrick Show. Twenty two percent of all played
appearance since this season have ended in a strikeout, and
it's about seventeen. Let me see, seventeen strikeouts per game.
That's the average for a Major League Baseball game. That's
(32:17):
sixth highest since nineteen thirty three. This is what This
is what the analytics say. And these numbers are all
twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,
twenty twenty three, and now twenty twenty four. So the
numbers are staying, if not going up. But there have
been twenty four thousand strikeouts so far in Major League Baseball.
(32:43):
All right, best and worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll
start with you. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
My best of the weekend's been mentioned the number of times,
but I'm sticking with it. Carlos Alkores defeeding the Joker
in straight sets in Wimbledon wins back to back titles
in London after having beaten him in five sets in
the final just last year.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Worst, and this hits home to you.
Speaker 9 (33:01):
Unfortunately, the team Summer League opener against the Clippers Friday
Nuggets first round pick from your Dayton Flyers to Ron
Holmes torn Achilles expected to miss the entire season.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, and they didn't do a good job in the
offseason in Denver, and then here's your first round pick
out for the season.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
See no Connor. Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
My best of the weekend isn't really unique to this weekend,
but it just reminded me how much I love this.
At the end of tennis matches at tournaments, they have
the winner and loser, the champions, and then the second
place speak to the crowd and speak to the TV audience.
It's just really unique to tennis. I think it's really
great that they do that because you get such an
It's a little bit like a glimpse into who those
(33:41):
athletes really are and what their personality is like, their character,
all of those things. It's a really great moment.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Marvin Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Best of the weekend Future Hall of Famer Reese Hines.
He had three home runs over the weekend, including a
Grand Slam. That dude's been on fire. He's got five
home runs and Scott to the major leagues the other day. Yeah,
I know he should have been in the home run derby.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I know they should have. That's where you capitalize on this,
where you go. Paul Skeins is starting. Reese Hines you
want to be in the Home Run Derby odds to
win the Home Run Derby. By the way, Pete Alonzo
is your favorite, followed by Marcel Ozuna and Bobby Witt
Junior the third.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Do you have a worst of the weekend?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I do worse of the weekend inew Reese, she shot
three for thirteen from the field, finishing with eight points
and sixteen rebounds, ending her double double streak at fifteen games.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Well, she's not a shooter. No, she can still score points.
She's not a shooter. Doesn't have a good shot, but
she can get on the boards offensively and defensively. All right, Paulie,
best and worst with it.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
That'st the week in the Scottish Open, won by a Scotsman,
not a scott A Scotsman, I'm told Robert McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Bobby mack last five holes.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
He threw out a couple of birdies and an eagle
off the drainage pipe, which was great for his everything.
Just to see the local Scottish crowd revel in that moment,
it was really good TV. Worse of the weekend the
scenes before the Copa America down a hard rock. I'm
not blaming I don't know who to blame, but it
was really, really scary. I was hoping I wasn't going
to wake up this morning and hear about a disaster
(35:17):
either during or after the match. Getting out of there,
because it was very scary.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, you're reading some of these quotes in here, and
you know, here's a one of Argentina's most respected football
reporters tweeting at ten thirty seven pm to say that
she had been unable to enter the stadium. This is
a nightmare. It's madness. There are thousands of us here
outside the entrance gate. But I'm alive, thank god. This
(35:44):
is first soccer match. I see a headline it was
inhumane why the Copa America final was delayed and dangerously
close to disaster. Some of these quotes. There's a woman
who's quoted as saying I tried breathe. A man kept
telling me breathe, try to breathe, and I responded that
(36:04):
I'm trying to. Well, they open the gate. They were
using one gate for all these people. Everyone was pushing everyone,
Everyone was pushing. Yeah, it bordered on chaos. Crazy, but yeah,
just some of these quotes are really really sure.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
There's some photos in the Washington Post. And you remember
the Hillsborough disaster with Liverpool. It's not that, but it's
it's you see little kids pressed up against a fence,
sweating and they're trying to reach out for police to
pull them over. It's it's borderline disaster.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Hopefully we understand what the World Cup is going to
be in two years. The other countries, they understand what
it is. Uh, that doesn't mean it. It's done in
a dignified way, but we have to understand how other
countries react when they're involved in this and the importance
(37:01):
of it, and then the security levels that you're going
to have a right, let me see update the poll results.
Seat And you said we have a new poll question
for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, we're just putting that one up, but I can
update you on previous poll questions. Dad, who had the
best weekend? Carlos Alcarez, Spain, Argentina or the Knicks. Right now,
Spain is leading with fifty one percent of the vote.
Last place the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
That's all about. Yeah, it feels like they had a
pretty good weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Did Jalen did Jalen Brunson have a good weekend right now,
sixty seven percent of the audience say yes, Yes he did.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Indeed, Joe and Michigan, Hey Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (37:39):
More in Dan and Dan that morning. I just wanted
to get your opinion on a tenants take of mind.
Had a buddy asked me if I thought Alcaz could
be the greatest of all time, and I said no.
My reasoning, I guess could be a high take in
that if you can bind cider made Hall and Djokovic's
(38:00):
they have sixty six. So I said, it's hypothetically feder
and a Doll never played, Djokovic reasonably could have forty
or fifty majors. And also, I think those three guys
just should be in the discussion of greatest athletes of
all time that their accomplished schment's playing against each other
(38:23):
sure should be a reckon, you know, acknowledge.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And that's what's amazing sometimes when you look it's not.
When Pete Sampras was playing, Pete sort of stood alone.
I mean, you had Andre Agascy, you had other you
had other players, but it felt like Pete was the
best player in tennis, you know. Uh, Lennox Lewis when
he was the heavyweight champ of the world. There was
nobody really close to him. Larry Holmes for a long time,
(38:49):
like they were looking for rivals. It's when you have
the rival and then what you know. Tiger never really
had a rival, and that's partly due to how great
Tiger was. We kept waiting for Ernie Els or Phil Mickelson.
Nobody was really close to Tiger. But that's what you love.
You love when you have that rivalry and the fact
that you had somebody was winning a tournament. It was
(39:11):
either Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer, those three. It was really
really shocking if somebody other than them. But I just
look at you know, Carlos al Karez. He's twenty one.
Nobody's on his level right now. He's got four Grand
Slams and he's twenty one. He's on pretty good pace
(39:31):
right now.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. I hope you had a great weekend. Everybody
gang's all here ready to go. On this Monday, I
started my day, got my coffee, decided I was going
to drive my car through the car wash, got Tom Petty.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
On the radio.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Everything's good, and all of a sudden, going through the
car wash, and then my dog Winnie presses the button
for the window. The window goes down, and all of
a sudden, I've got water inside the car. So I
spilled my coffee and then I have to go over
to the other side of the car close the window.
And that's how I started my day. And then I
(00:40):
realized it's only going to get better from here because
I lost a bet. I lost a bet on the
Euros because I had England beating Spain. I had England
winning it all to start the event, and I doubled down.
So now I got four pies coming my way later today,
got two on Friday, and then I took Pauli's bet
(01:00):
if England would win, we'd wipe away two of those pies.
So that's how I started my day. I get to
end my day with four pies. How's your Monday going.
Come on in, stay a while. I love my dog,
but all of a sudden she gets so nervous in
the car wash, and all of a sudden, I'm just
sipping coffee, singing to learning to Fly, but I ain't
(01:22):
got wings.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Boom, it's the window.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Water comes splashing in and then I go okay, can
only get better from here, only to be reminded four
pies later. Today we say good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Come on
in and stay a while. Have a poll question. We
got to play of the Day, stat of the Day,
and we have a lot of good times on the way.
(01:46):
And the Minister of Humor, Todd Fritz is here in
the back row. Hi, Hi, Todd Seaton's here, Marvin Paully,
yours truly, Yes, he is Minister of Hume.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Tod Staut of the.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Day has always brought to you my Panini America, the
official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You had
your I guess, non typical sporting events over the weekend
that took center stage. You had international sporting events. You
had the Euros, you had COPA, the Scottish Open, as well,
and you still had baseball. You had some summer league
(02:20):
games as well. Carlos Alcarez, you had tennis winning Wembledon again,
Spain over the Euros wins the Euros, i should say,
and Argentina wins Copa America. Cleveland gets the number one
draft pick and Major League Baseball in in case you're
following that, and home run derby tonight in Arlington, Texas.
So it was a busy weekend, an interesting weekend, a
(02:42):
different weekend, and we'll try to dissect some of the
main stories there. Say good morning to our radio affiliates,
those chatting on chat Row. Operator Tyler is sitting by
taking your phone calls. We always do every Monday, Best
and Worst of the weekend. What you saw that you
liked and you didn't like. First Hour brought to you
by tire rack dot com, the official tire expert and retailer,

lineup of Continental Tires, special offers, free road hazard protection,

buying should be all right Seaton Pole question for hour
one is going to be what.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, we've got some pole questions. Off of pole questions
originally started with who had the best weekend? Now we're
trying to figure out if this person actually had a
good weekend or not. So who had the best weekend?
Carlos Alcarez great weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Feels like he's been around for about ten years, but
he's only twenty one. And you're watching and I'm watching
the future present day and I'm going wow, and you
could tell, you know, players know, they know before we know.
And you could tell that Novak Djokovic was like, oh boy,
(04:00):
and he was trying to speed up the pace. He
was trying whatever he could do to kind of take
him off his game. And it didn't matter because the
future of tennis is here.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Now what else?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Spain? Spain had a great weekend. Not only did Carlos
Alcarez win, but then Spain the soccer team won the
Euros beat England.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Great great weekend. Too soon to bring that up for me, Yes, winning.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The Euros not a great weekend for everybody, but for
the Spanish, Yes, yes that was that was a great,
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That was a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I will you know if you're going Sunday morning and
then Sunday late afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yes, Spain did very very well.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Argentina did well. They did, they won as well. They're
on just a tear of a major. Although I'm worried
about Messi's ankle, as you should be.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, that didn't look good and that did not look good.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Now the next option is Jalen Brunson slash Nicks, to
which I would wonder. I think the Knicks had a
great weekend. They talked their superstar player until eaven over
one hundred million dollars on the table. Yeah, I don't
know if Jalen Brunson had a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh, I think he did, because perception wise he's a hero.
Perception wise he is. However, the cost of this brief
blip of public generosity is over one hundred million dollars.
It was one thirteen to be exact. But is he
going to eventually get the money. He's just not getting
the money now. Maybe Okay, twenty seven years of age
(05:30):
and he could have gotten a larger bag.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
As they like to say, it's costing him thirty seven
million dollars a year because he's eligible. This is the
understanding that as far as I think we could tell,
because I'm not great with contracts, is he can possibly
recoup this money after year three. So in like year
like four or five, say that he would be up
(05:55):
for a new deal, there's a year four player option
that then he could trigger that would then basically allow
him or give him the ability to recoup that one
hundred and thirteen million dollars. But he is gambling it
over the next three years.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But he does get into the next contract a year
earlier as well.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yes, So assuming there's nothing catastrophic that happens in the
next three years, I think that's the gamble.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, you know, he's coming off an injury surgery, not
going to be able to play on the Olympic team
because of that, but he had a great postseason perception wise.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Boy, this is big. It's big.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Knicks fans are essentially putting up the statue again already.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes, yes, do the Knicks have any statues. They have
money to spend on one now, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Think they have any statues. I think they just have
jerseys that they retire. But if you were going to
put up a statue, well, if you're putting up a statue.
You got a few other names to put up, but
Jalen Brunson gave you that feel good story, and the
Knicks usually don't have a feel good story. But what
he did, it's still generational wealth. While they said, ah,
(07:05):
he's you know, kind of forfeiting generational wealth while making
generational wealth on the same day. But I think if
you're going to and he said he was taking inspiration
from Derek Jeter, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes that they
took less to be able to ensure that you're still
able to keep the core, you know. You know, they
(07:26):
went out and got Michael Bridges resigning oj A Nanobi,
so they they're doing some really good things and keeping
that core together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The Nova Nicks.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If I'm giving up that kind of money, do I
have any say in what you're doing with my money?
Usually doesn't happen that way. But if I'm Jalen Brunson
at age twenty seven, do they say, Jalen, we were
thinking of spending forty million of your money on this guy.
What do you think it'd be kind of cool if
(07:58):
he was like, I don't know, oh, you know, can
we get him for thirty seven million let him be
sort of player GM here.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's when he learns the lesson of them saying, yeah, yeah,
it's not your money, it's our money. You could say,
we didn't give it to you, so that's our money.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Still.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
See that's how that works.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's only yours if we give it to you.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh oh, so it's not as got it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Because Brady didn't get a chance to do that. Patrick Mahomes,
I don't think got a chance to do that. I
don't think Derek Jeter as well. But that's where you
have to have full trust in the front office that
they're going to do the right thing. Because I always
go back to the Cleveland Browns always had draft picks,
and I said, it doesn't matter if you don't know
(08:39):
how to draft, and they didn't know how to draft,
but they always had a lot of draft picks. Meanwhile,
Baltimore would have like two draft picks and they would
always find a Hall of Famer in those two draft picks.
It's who's drafting. But I think what the Knicks are
building on is pretty special. And I think what we
saw with the postseason and now the off season, Yeah,
(09:03):
they're on a pretty good run and it's been a
long time. When's the last time we were really looking
at the Knicks as competitors?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is is it? You go back to Carmelo days?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean, and they're likable as well, which is that's
been a while since we've looked at a Knicks team.
I mean we had you know, uhlynsanity and you liked
that story.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Doesn't mean you like the Knicks. Yeah, Mark, the.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Knicks have always been likable. People just hated the owner.
It really hasn't been a Knicks team. Maybe the you
you know, depending on how you like to play basketball.
Pe wouldn't like the ewing Oakley Knicks. But the past
twenty years, what Knicks team's been unlikable? Well, Colan's been unlikable.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, But I don't know if you like the Knicks,
you're just indifferent towards them. Yeah, you just didn't not
like that mean you didn't go like this visceral reaction
I hate the Knicks. Now now it's like you can
look at that team and go, man, they're fun to
watch and Jalen Brunson, good for him what he's done.
You know, you're in Dallas and all of a sudden,
oh yeah, that's the guy who's with Luca, and then
(10:05):
all of a sudden it's like re sign him. No,
we're gonna move on from him. And then he goes
to the Knicks and he becomes a legitimate star. So
I think, good for him, good for the Knicks, and hopefully,
hopefully they can capitalize on this.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, One thing I learned about in this
whole story is that there's aprons of the salary cap.
I had never heard the phrase before aprons. So Brunson
taking less money now keeps the Knicks out of the
second apron level, which I guess is bad territory. You
don't want to go second aprin in first apron is fine.
It's a punitive threshold that severely limits a team's ability
to make trades, sign players, and use draft picks. But
(10:41):
if you're in New York the past few days, all
you know is like the kid from the Knicks just
left one hundred million on the table.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's the perception, yes.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But he did. I think that's the reality of it.
But he can still recoup the I don't think anybody
looked at Tom Brady and goes man, he left all
that money on the table. He'll never get that back.
Or Patrick Mahomes, they're eventually going to get that money.
You know what gets you paid winning winning, Derek Jeter, winning, Mahomes, winning,
(11:10):
Rady winning. That's when you get paid because then it's
more than just this is your salary here.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Winning gets you paid. All right? Who are the other
people on there?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That we had Alcarez and we had Jalen Brunson, anybody
else who might have had a great weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, I think we go with did Jalen Brunson have
a good weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yes? Or no?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Did he have a good weekend, a great weekend or
a bad weekend? Perhaps something like that. We'll also throw
out there who had the best weekend? I feel like
we left off Sergio Garcia want to live golf event
this weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Some people on Twitter are saying, hey, you forgot about
the live event, Like I had no idea what was
even happening.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, he didn't even qualify for the British Open. I
mean if he already won the live yes he did. Yes,
where ever that was played, he did win that. You're right,
so congratulations to Sergio. You won't be playing in the
British out golf plump, golf of plumps. Who else do
(12:13):
you want to put on there?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I had a lot of fun watching Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, it's a cool event. And when you go there,
when you go into the stadium, the stadium looks bigger
than what it is. It's like the first time I
went to Notre Dame for a game, you know, watching
it on TV, the way they framed it, it's like, man,
this is a huge stadium. Then you go in there
and you go it's not a huge stadium. Now, this
is before the renovations. But when you go to Wimbledon
(12:41):
and a lot of these tennis venues, you're like, wow,
that looks like majestic. And then you go there and
you're like, man, this is quaint. But the event it's
still great. I like Kate Middleton got a standing ovation.
How about that? I think she got the biggest of
applause of anybody there. Battling cancer and shows up there.
(13:04):
It's pretty cool. I also like the interviews after the match. Now,
I know it's difficult for the person who lost because
they have to stand there while Djokovic has to stand
there while Alcarez is telling you one liners here and
then he's going to get the big trophy. But Joker
realizes all the years that he was the one who
(13:24):
was getting the bigger trophy, and somebody always had to
wait for him to be done with the interview.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But I do like it.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You're playing to the audience and this is what tennis
has done. The event is over now. Normally they have
just the winner on, but with Wembledon, you're having both
on and doing an interview, and I think it comes
off really well. So all right, well settle on a
poll question here. Got a lot of things to talk about.
(13:50):
Argentina over Columbia, but that really wasn't the story. It
was leading up to the COPA Finals, Spain over England, England,
you bumms, alcarez. Wimbledon, the international sports took center stage
over the weekend. Uh so we'll come back. Let's see
(14:10):
fifteen after them, back after this. Fox Sports Radio has

We've all used different tools. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay
Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast on the ieartradio app, Apple

Speaker 1 (15:02):
It was wall 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've got soccer in the afternoon
with the Euros, and then Summer League basketball, and then
(15:22):
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
(15:43):
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. Paulton 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 realize something was
(16:04):
something was wrong? Pregame.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
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 Lang and myself we
went down to the gates to see what was going on.
And I got down there at about six h five
(16:30):
or so, 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,
(16:51):
well after 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 shoes that were
playing out.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
How close was this to a disaster last night?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Yeah, I think really close. 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
(17:27):
to just let everyone 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.
(17:48):
You know, when I came into the stadium at three pm,
obviously it's 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,
(18:09):
being carried in, unconscious, kids coming in completely red, soaked
their 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 (18:24):
Who was running the security well.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
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
(18:49):
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
(19:10):
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
(19:31):
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
(19:51):
can't go anywhere. And it was just a really, really
dangerous situation. And I'm surprised that the organization, the preparation
for the was not good enough. It was 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
(20:13):
also happen 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 1 (20:20):
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 8 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 7 (20:35):
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
(20:58):
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,
(21:18):
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
(21:41):
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,
(22:03):
they have to be diligent in creating checkpoints to prevent
a build up at the gates themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Could this have been Messi's last big match, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It could have been. 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. After the game. 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
(22:34):
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 MI zone after the semifinal. He 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
(22:55):
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 makes some reflect on whether this this
should be the end.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Thank you, Paul. We appreciate you joining us and thank you,
thanks so much. That's Paul tn Orio, 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. Be sure to catch
the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at
(23:28):
nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the iHeartRadio app. If I'm producing the All Star Game,
nobody's asked me, but if they are. Paul Skeens starts
for the National League in the first batter he faces.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
From the New York k Yankees. Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Judge it's a heavyweight title about right away, I want
Skeens versus Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That's how I would produce this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Alrighty final hour poll question, it's a busy sports Sunday
that we've recapped. We'll give you our best and worst
of the weekend. Also, Paulie has a movie question about
a film that came out thirty three years ago, Seaton.
What's the poll question for the final hour of this
award nominated program.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, one here from Paulie. If you had to buy
stock in one of these people or persons, Okay, Carlos Alcarez, Yes,
that's yes. I don't know. Are you still you're not
really buying low anymore at this point? Right in that
stock you're buying Yeah, you're buying high. You're buying high ish, yes, right, yes, yeah,
paul Skins, that's like the stock pick somebody just told
(24:40):
you about. It kind of already happens, but you can
still get in fast enough to be like, oh, yeah,
I had it early.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's usually what I get. It's already happened.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And then somebody says, hey, I got a tip here,
and I go on, what and then you realize why
didn't you tell me, like a couple of months ago.
So Paul Skans a couple of months ago, Scottie Chef, Yeah,
that's that's already. He's the favorite for the British Open,
the Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Victor Wembanyama. You know what, those last two names right
there feel like there's still value picks for some reason,
despite being highly successful, they're both sort of a value pick. Like, man,
this feels like there's a higher ceiling here.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Okay, would you throw in CJ. Strou Sure? That was scripted?
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Shit?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You put c J.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Stroud and it feels like you're just scratching the surface.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah sure, quarterback, Yeah, yeah, sure if you want to
sure CJ Stroud in there with you.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
If there's a list of only four people, who are
you taking off to put c J.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Stroud on?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, you want Victor Wembenyama on there because he's what
nineteen years of age? Alcarez is twenty one, Scheffler's what
twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm gonna take him off.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You're gonna take him off? Yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You'd have Carlos Alcarez, Paul Skins, Victor Wembanyama, c J. Stroud. Okay,
anyone else.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'm gonna take Alcarez.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm gonna take him because I'm not as concerned about
the competition that he's gonna be facing. He's the best
and he's twenty one. There's a lot of good quarterbacks
out there, a lot of good football teams out there.
Victor we Benyama doesn't have a good team around him.
You're gonna be a little while. And he's playing in
(26:38):
the West. Schemes, is playing for the Pirates, probably not
gonna be playing in big games. That doesn't mean he's
not gonna be a great pitcher. But I'm looking at
team success to go along with individual success. Individual success,
that's what Carlos Alcarez is all about.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's just about him. Yes, Tom not to.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Be a Debbie downer, which I've been in the past,
But how much do you factor in most at least
like could get injured based on their body type and
their career and the sport.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That they play.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Well, you have to factor that in when you're buying
your stock. I guess everybody can get banged up. Schemes
as hard as he throws Victor Wembenyama, his build, Carlos
al Carez in a sport that grinds you down. Everybody
seems to have, you know, problems there, whether it's foot, shoulder, wrist, knee, Who.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Else am I missing?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Crowd?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you play the position a quarterback? Yeah, Paully, you
know I would.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I would keep see Scotti Scheffer. I keep on there
even at twenty eight, because he seems so consistent and
he'd be great. But I wonder if buying into him,
he might be the Pete Sampras of his sport, where
there's greatness, but the entertainment value at least early in
Sanpress's career wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Scheffler's already established himself, but I don't know if he's
a marketing darling and will ever be a marketing dark Well,
I'm I'm buying into a stock on just how successful
you're going to be. Scotti Scheffler is never going to
be dynamic, right, Even how he plays is not dynamic.
Al Karez has everything, looks good, plays powerful, got charisma there,
(28:14):
twenty one years of age, wemban Yama still waiting. I
don't know enough about him personality wise, but it does
seem like he's certainly a mature nineteen year old.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
C J.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Stroud got some personality there as well, But no, Alcarez
is twenty one.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Years of age.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He's the best in his sport at twenty one years
of age, and it doesn't feel like he has a
rival right now. You know, when Djokovic, what Djokovic did
makes it even more impressive that he was always the
third guy. He wasn't the best tennis player, and then
all of a sudden, you know, Federer, you know, is
starting to fall apart, Nadal falling apart. Djokovic outlasted everybody
(28:58):
and sort of became the best player, maybe the best
player of all time, by just sort of being there.
He was always you playing thirty seven Grand Slam finals,
thirty seven you went twenty four. Hard to argue that, though,
I mean, it really is hard to argue that.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
It was like, Wow, that is consistency.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
We'll get phone calls coming up best and worst of
the weekend. The movie question I was wondering. I was
talking about how many Grand Slams have been hit, third
most since nineteen seventy four going into the All Star Game,
plus forty percent of the runs in Major League Baseball
come about courtesy of a home run.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's one of the all time haunts.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I was curious, strikeout wise, how many strikeouts do you
think have happened so far this season in Major League Baseball? Todd,
you have been absolutely positively horrible at guessing. So I'm
going to start with you. How many total? Once again,
every player, every team total, all together leading up to
(30:05):
the All Star.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
I think a couple hundred guys must have struck out total.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Man, Now, I'm gonna go with them.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Nine thousand, six oh six, nine thousand.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
That seems like a big number.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Nine thousand strikeouts, A lot of strikeouts. Okay, see O'Connor.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
We landed at how many home runs?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
It was a lot though, h it was over fifteen hundred.
I think there's like seventeen. I'm gonna guess ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Ten thousand strikeouts? How many home runs have been hit?
Do we have?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
That?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I might have thrown it away.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
As many, like three thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I thought it was six thousand. Was it something six thousand?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Why are you?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Why are you yelling?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Let's play the game again. We could all guess again.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Okay, yeah, two hundred and four. I'm gonna guess one thousand,
seven hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Okay, there's three thousand, one hundred and seventy one home
runs that have been hit so far this season.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
How do we not remember that after the fact?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
You know? Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
How many strikeouts collectively? Seating you had yours?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
How many home runs?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Was it.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Three and seventy one?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, I'm gonna guess there's for every one home run,
there's got to be at least two or three strikeouts, right,
this is the formula. Right, I'm gonna stick with ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's probably low. Marvin, I'm gonna go sixteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's a good guest, Paul. Ten thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Twenty four thousand, two hundred and fourteen strikeouts, second most
at the All Star Break since nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Startup a day, start of the day, stat of the day,
Start of the day, Statu the day, startup day, start
of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Start st out of the Day.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Brought to you by Panini America, the Official Trading Cards,
The Dan Patrick Show. Twenty two percent of all played
appearance since this season have ended in a strikeout, and
it's about seventeen. Let me see, seventeen strikeouts per game.
That's the average for a Major League Baseball game. That's
(32:17):
sixth highest since nineteen thirty three. This is what This
is what the analytics say. And these numbers are all
twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,
twenty twenty three, and now twenty twenty four. So the
numbers are staying, if not going up. But there have
been twenty four thousand strikeouts so far in Major League Baseball.
(32:43):
All right, best and worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll
start with you. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
My best of the weekend's been mentioned the number of times,
but I'm sticking with it. Carlos Alkores defeeding the Joker
in straight sets in Wimbledon wins back to back titles
in London after having beaten him in five sets in
the final just last year.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Worst, and this hits home to you.
Speaker 9 (33:01):
Unfortunately, the team Summer League opener against the Clippers Friday
Nuggets first round pick from your Dayton Flyers to Ron
Holmes torn Achilles expected to miss the entire season.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, and they didn't do a good job in the
offseason in Denver, and then here's your first round pick
out for the season.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
See no Connor. Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
My best of the weekend isn't really unique to this weekend,
but it just reminded me how much I love this.
At the end of tennis matches at tournaments, they have
the winner and loser, the champions, and then the second
place speak to the crowd and speak to the TV audience.
It's just really unique to tennis. I think it's really
great that they do that because you get such an
It's a little bit like a glimpse into who those
(33:41):
athletes really are and what their personality is like, their character,
all of those things. It's a really great moment.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Marvin Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Best of the weekend Future Hall of Famer Reese Hines.
He had three home runs over the weekend, including a
Grand Slam. That dude's been on fire. He's got five
home runs and Scott to the major leagues the other day. Yeah,
I know he should have been in the home run derby.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I know they should have. That's where you capitalize on this,
where you go. Paul Skeins is starting. Reese Hines you
want to be in the Home Run Derby odds to
win the Home Run Derby. By the way, Pete Alonzo
is your favorite, followed by Marcel Ozuna and Bobby Witt
Junior the third.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Do you have a worst of the weekend?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I do worse of the weekend inew Reese, she shot
three for thirteen from the field, finishing with eight points
and sixteen rebounds, ending her double double streak at fifteen games.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Well, she's not a shooter. No, she can still score points.
She's not a shooter. Doesn't have a good shot, but
she can get on the boards offensively and defensively. All right, Paulie,
best and worst with it.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
That'st the week in the Scottish Open, won by a Scotsman,
not a scott A Scotsman, I'm told Robert McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Bobby mack last five holes.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
He threw out a couple of birdies and an eagle
off the drainage pipe, which was great for his everything.
Just to see the local Scottish crowd revel in that moment,
it was really good TV. Worse of the weekend the
scenes before the Copa America down a hard rock. I'm
not blaming I don't know who to blame, but it
was really, really scary. I was hoping I wasn't going
to wake up this morning and hear about a disaster
(35:17):
either during or after the match. Getting out of there,
because it was very scary.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, you're reading some of these quotes in here, and
you know, here's a one of Argentina's most respected football
reporters tweeting at ten thirty seven pm to say that
she had been unable to enter the stadium. This is
a nightmare. It's madness. There are thousands of us here
outside the entrance gate. But I'm alive, thank god. This
(35:44):
is first soccer match. I see a headline it was
inhumane why the Copa America final was delayed and dangerously
close to disaster. Some of these quotes. There's a woman
who's quoted as saying I tried breathe. A man kept
telling me breathe, try to breathe, and I responded that
(36:04):
I'm trying to. Well, they open the gate. They were
using one gate for all these people. Everyone was pushing everyone,
Everyone was pushing. Yeah, it bordered on chaos. Crazy, but yeah,
just some of these quotes are really really sure.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
There's some photos in the Washington Post. And you remember
the Hillsborough disaster with Liverpool. It's not that, but it's
it's you see little kids pressed up against a fence,
sweating and they're trying to reach out for police to
pull them over. It's it's borderline disaster.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Hopefully we understand what the World Cup is going to
be in two years. The other countries, they understand what
it is. Uh, that doesn't mean it. It's done in
a dignified way, but we have to understand how other
countries react when they're involved in this and the importance
(37:01):
of it, and then the security levels that you're going
to have a right, let me see update the poll results.
Seat And you said we have a new poll question
for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, we're just putting that one up, but I can
update you on previous poll questions. Dad, who had the
best weekend? Carlos Alcarez, Spain, Argentina or the Knicks. Right now,
Spain is leading with fifty one percent of the vote.
Last place the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
That's all about. Yeah, it feels like they had a
pretty good weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Did Jalen did Jalen Brunson have a good weekend right now,
sixty seven percent of the audience say yes, Yes he did.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Indeed, Joe and Michigan, Hey Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (37:39):
More in Dan and Dan that morning. I just wanted
to get your opinion on a tenants take of mind.
Had a buddy asked me if I thought Alcaz could
be the greatest of all time, and I said no.
My reasoning, I guess could be a high take in
that if you can bind cider made Hall and Djokovic's
(38:00):
they have sixty six. So I said, it's hypothetically feder
and a Doll never played, Djokovic reasonably could have forty
or fifty majors. And also, I think those three guys
just should be in the discussion of greatest athletes of
all time that their accomplished schment's playing against each other
(38:23):
sure should be a reckon, you know, acknowledge.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And that's what's amazing sometimes when you look it's not.
When Pete Sampras was playing, Pete sort of stood alone.
I mean, you had Andre Agascy, you had other you
had other players, but it felt like Pete was the
best player in tennis, you know. Uh, Lennox Lewis when
he was the heavyweight champ of the world. There was
nobody really close to him. Larry Holmes for a long time,
(38:49):
like they were looking for rivals. It's when you have
the rival and then what you know. Tiger never really
had a rival, and that's partly due to how great
Tiger was. We kept waiting for Ernie Els or Phil Mickelson.
Nobody was really close to Tiger. But that's what you love.
You love when you have that rivalry and the fact
that you had somebody was winning a tournament. It was
(39:11):
either Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer, those three. It was really
really shocking if somebody other than them. But I just
look at you know, Carlos al Karez. He's twenty one.
Nobody's on his level right now. He's got four Grand
Slams and he's twenty one. He's on pretty good pace
(39:31):
right now.
