Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and
the Dan Ence Dan Patrick Show. We took you to Paris.
Last hour, we talked to Mike Tarico. He joined us
in front of the Eiffel Tower. Get a chance go
to Paris. A lot of sights to see there, not
just the Eiffel Tower. Christopher Matd Doug Russo will join
(00:23):
us coming up here in a little bit. Team USA
basketball has Serbia coming up on Sunday. Well, that means
you got the joker. But the last time they played,
they played in a friendly and they played great defense.
They really shut down Serbia. They shut down the joker.
I don't know if that's where their competition is going
(00:46):
to come from. It feels like, and we've seen this
so far where they've had close games. Germany was close,
South Sudan that was close. I expect them to have
some close games here. Now all of a sudden, things
get ramped up a little bit. Everybody playing Team USA
is going to play as hard as they probably can.
(01:08):
Team USA probably picking and choosing as these players do
during the regular season. Now, all of a sudden, this
feels postseason, Like now, all of a sudden, you're going
to play defense. Now, all of a sudden, a loose ball, you're.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Going to go for it, Whereas before you might say, eh,
probably not today. Now this is when the games begin,
truly begin, the competition begins. But point spread team USA
versus Serbia is.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Let's play guests that point spread USA versus Serbia, USA
is favored.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, I'm going to say USA thirteen. Okay, Todd eight
and a half, Seaton nine and a half, Marvin thirteen
and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Is giving fourteen and a half to Serbia. Slap on
the face to the entire country of Serbia.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I don't think Serbia is that good. I think
they have the best player in basketball. But when I
watched him play last time, I mean, they were overwhelmed,
it felt like. But Team USA played some really really
good defense. And you know that's the difference. Even when
the Dream Team was playing, when they really looked great,
is when they played defense, when they Scotty and Mike
(02:27):
were shutting down Tony Koukoach, they played defense to win
that gold medal. This team got to play a little
defense here, because if you get a couple of these
countries who hit their threes. If somebody gets squirrely and
hits fifteen threes, now all of a sudden, Team USA
is fallible.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the US seemed like they took Serbia
real series because they have a lot of respect for
the Joker South Sudan. They seemed like they could just
turn it on and off whenever they felt like it,
because they don't have somebody on that same caliber as
Joker or Luca.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Or Greek Freak. So that'll be on Sunday. The Olympic.
The opening ceremony will be tomorrow tomorrow at noon Eastern
on NBC and Peacock NBC, Amazon, ESPN Score the NBA
rights TNT is left out. I'm not surprised at this.
It felt like they were sort of in. They were
(03:16):
half in and half out. And I wouldn't use the
threat of losing Charles Barkley in Shack as a reason
why we want to stay with TMT, because Charles isn't
going to do it that much longer. This is a
ten year, eleven year deal that you have. You got
to start thinking about that down the road, you know,
(03:36):
and four years from now, five seven, ten years down
the road. Where is the NBA? How consumable is it streaming?
And that's why you're you know, in business with Amazon,
NBC and Peacock getting streaming, you're gonna have games just
about every night. This is you know, this is what
This is the last deal that Adam Silver is probably
(03:58):
going to make as the commissioner as far as a
TV deal, because in a decade from now, is he
still the commissioner of the NBA? All right? Eight seven
to seven three, DP Show email address, Dpadanpatrick dot com
Twitter handle at DP show. Yesterday we spent a little
time talking about the Cowboys from the standpoint of your
coach and your quarterback going into the last year of
(04:19):
their deals. And I asked Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback,
who's likely to be more likely to be there next year?
And he said Dak. Because if you truly believe in
Mike McCarthy, who did win a Super Bowl, then nobody's
talked about him getting extended. It's all about Dak Prescott,
which I find really curious. But you know, Mike McCarthy's
(04:41):
going to say all the right things. Hey, I'm betting
on myself. Yeah, well, you have no other choice but
to bet on yourself. I was looking at now there's
coaches on the hot seat, and I was curious the
win totals for those teams with coaches who could be
on the hot seat. Let's start in Buffalo Sean McDermott.
You lose Stefan Diggs. Some people think they'll be just
(05:03):
as good as they were last year. The over under
for the Buffalo Bills is ten and a half wins.
I'm a little surprised at that. The Giants Brian Dable
started out great. Now all of a sudden, maybe not
trending in that direction. Over under for the Giants this
year six and a half wins. Seat's gonna get hotter,
(05:30):
going to get warmer. How about Matt Eberflus, the new
and improved Bears over underwin total eight and a half.
I'm taking the over. How about the Broncos Sean Payton, Okay,
maybe not Bronco's over under his five and a half. Now,
(05:53):
this might be one of those where they get six wins.
We see a lot of positives with bo Nicks. Oh
maybe there's a little bit more momentum, but feels like
this isn't the hot seat year for Sean Payton. Next
year is how about the Jets? Robert Salah over under
(06:14):
nine and a half wins? It feels like this is
make or break year for coach and GM with the Jets,
e Ts, Eagles iggles. Imagine, okay, over under is ten
and a half wins for the Eagles and you got
(06:37):
a coach who is on the hot seat with ten
and a half win team, and then you have this
Jalen Hurts Sirianni are they on the same page and
they're not and they're working on their relationship. It feels
like we're a little too deep into their relationship for
them to be working on their relationship. Yes, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, is it the hot seat always based off of expectations,
because if you're the Eagles, the expectation is to at
least get to the super Bowl, not win the division.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, but this is a good team. This is as
talented as you know the Niners. And you would think, like, Okay,
how many wins does it take for him to keep
his job if he wins ten or does it matter
what they do in the postseason? Didn't they lose to
Tampa and the playoffs last year? They got roughed up.
(07:32):
Just feels like and then I think he had a
press conference where he said, I don't have any answers.
That's not what you want to hear from your coach.
I don't know, I don't have any answers. So the
Jags Doug Peterson eight and a half wins. How about
the Saints? Who knows the Saints head coach Todd Dennis Allen? Yeah,
(07:57):
that was your Super Bowl pick last year?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
They had their quarterback as the MVP too.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, almost came close. Saints over Under and perhaps Dennis
Allen's last year as the head coach. Seven and a
half wins. Then Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys. Is
this all about the postseason and not the regular season?
Ten and a half wins for the Cowboys feels like
(08:28):
it's right there at ten wins for this team, But
then we don't know what's going to happen with CD
Lamb and Michael Parsons Dak Prescott. But ten and a
half wins, Okay, let's say they end up with eleven. Now,
how far do you go in the postseason? If they
go to the NFC title Game, probably keeps his job
(08:49):
if you don't get to the NFC title game, probably
doesn't keep his job. And you know that you have
Bill Belichick waiting. They know that, Yes, so he's he's
always there. Whether Bill would want to, you know, coach
under Jerry Jones, I think is a maybe a huge
(09:10):
question that would need to be answered at some point.
But I mean Bill's not gonna answer it because he
didn't want to ruin his leverage for other jobs. H Philadelphia,
I think for Belichick and the Giants. For Belichick, I
could see. I could see those two before I would
see the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Marmon for the Cowboys. I
(09:31):
don't care what round it is. You can't lose a
home playoff game. If you lose a home playoff game,
you're out. Okay, Like he's by McCarthy's done. Okay, Well,
they probably won't have home field advantage if they get
to the NFC Titlekay, I'm guessing San Francisco. You know,
a sneaky super Bowl team, the Rams like like a
(09:56):
sneaky you know, because I started to think, okay, I
gotta have my Super Bowl pick coming up. You know,
in a few weeks before the season starts, you start
to gather how many teams Aaron Rodgers said yesterday eight
to twelve teams can win the Super Bowl, which it's
not twelve, it's probably maybe eight at the most. Can
the Jets win the Super Bowl? I mean they can
(10:19):
from the standpoint of their playing their season, so they
do have a chance. But nine and a half wins
all goes well, you get ten eleven. Maybe you're going
to invest if these are stocks. Are you investing in
the Jets right now? Or would you invest in the
Rams instead of would you invest in the Packers instead
(10:42):
of if they were stocks? Or would you just say, look,
I'm taking Kansas City, I'm taking San Francisco. Those are
the two best teams. You know, the Brandon Nyuk situation,
how does that play out? Is it there during the
regular season? Does something change before the start of the regulars? Yeah,
you've still got a great nucleus there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Pauling with the Rams twenty twenty one, they're twelve and five,
they win the Super Bowl, and then they fall off
the cliff, go five and twelve. Everybody kind of jumped
off their bandwagon and they got no we do this
for a living. They got no coverage last year and
they were ten and seven, Yes and hookah, and they've
got a good running back and kind of stabilized everything.
They're starting to get their draft picks back, but they're
(11:23):
off the radar of Super Bowl expectation.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I got no articles. Well, the Chargers have overshadowed them
as far as coverage goes. By the way, I'm going
to miss Jim Harball in college. I'm already missing Jim
Horble like it Big ten media day, him going in
defending national champ. Now he's still entertaining, and he opened
up his press conference yesterday with this.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Just the way it feels, I mean, feels like Begger's Day.
You know, it feels like being born. Feels like coming
out of the womb. You know, it's like here and there,
it's comfortable, it's safe, and now you're out.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You're born.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
The lights are on, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's bright, chaos.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
People look people looking at you, people people talking at you,
and just feels good to have it happened.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Okay, first day of camp. It feels like birth, except
for maybe your wife, but it feels like birth. You
come out and everybody's staring at you. The lights are bright.
But Harball is entertaining. And I wondered about this with
Harball because the Chargers have been cheap before with their
(12:35):
coaching hires, and Jim was going to be a big
ticket item. You can't spend all that money on Justin
Herbert and then all of a sudden, you're not going
to get a coach who can compliment him, and vice versa.
And I think the Chargers finally stepped up to say,
all right, we're going to spend all this money on
Justin Herbert. We should spend money on a coach who
(12:57):
has proven how great he is every single stop. Took
a while at Michigan, but then he proved himself, whether
it was with the Niners, whether it was at San Diego.
He proves himself. And now you get him with the Chargers.
So now you have a different kind of respect there,
and Justin Herbert should be a lot better because now
(13:18):
you get somebody who played the position, is good at
coaching the position. You know they're going to run the football.
They're going to be it feels like economical when it
comes to passing, They're not going to go. You know
this is we're going to be, you know, the second
coming of Dan Marino. He may throw twenty five touchdown
(13:39):
passes this year, but how many interceptions and then how
many more wins? And you're going to be set up
to be a better playoff team. If you make the playoffs.
Harball will have a physical line, a running game, and
then passing might be complimentary. That's the feeling I get. Jim,
(14:00):
in his style and what he believes in, you may
just get a pro version of Michigan. And I think
that's where the Chargers make the ride. They were going
to bring in Mike Brabel. It was Rabel's job. Jim
decided that he wanted to coach again in the NFL.
That's how it happened. But if you're Justin Herbert, you
got Harball there, little wacky at times, but you know what,
(14:25):
it'll be refreshing and he'll make Justin Herbert better. That's
the key. And any quarterback you want consistency. Like Jalen Hurts,
I think has had three different offensive coordinators. That's usue
death for a quarterback. What happened in Chicago. Coaches offensive coordinators,
you gotta have consistency. Look at New England Matt Patricia.
(14:48):
Defensive coordinators. Is the offensive coordinator, greatest coach in history
with one of the dumbest moves that he ever made.
Mac Jones had no chance. You gotta have consistency having
Harball there with Justin Herbert for let's say the next
four years, five years, that's when we might see Justin
Herbert be a true top five quarterback. All Right, we'll
(15:11):
take a break. Phone calls coming up. Christopher mad Dog
Russo will join us back after this. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 7 (15:35):
We never have enough time to get to everything we

Speaker 8 (15:38):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blober li lame and me.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino on Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by

it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Cabino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, update our poll results. We'll settle on a poll question.
For hour two. We make way for Christopher mad Dog Russo,
host of mad Dog Unleashed, and you can see him
contributing to a first take with Steven Ang just signed
a new three year extension to stay as the face
and voice of mad Dog Sports Radio. Okay, I'm working,
(16:53):
I'm working. I'm working for three and a half more years.
Are you trying to steal my head lines by only
working three more years?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
You know, I hadn't thought of that, and nobody can
steal your headlines, you little radio Hall of famer. You well,
you know I thought of it, though. It's interesting. Did
you know that I was with Mike for nineteen years?
And did you know when I did that press conference
way back in September of or maybe in August of
two thousand and eight, I said that I look at
(17:24):
Sirius as the second half.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Of my career. And I just said it at the time,
you know, the b litte press conference.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
That did And did you know that end of these
three years, it would be nineteen years for Sirious, So
I would have done nineteen with Mike and then after
these three years up, I never thought of it nineteen
with Sirius. So maybe thirty eight years would be enough
for Chris ressup.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
So maybe at sixty eight and you're going to go
a lot longer than me.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
I mean, you're a big star for crying out loud,
Feisty and bet By and they got this show that's
as hot as hell, So maybe I will leave the
scene to give you the platform.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Thank you all right, well, thank you for being a
team player. I was at ESPN for eighteen years. I've
been gone from ESPN for eighteen years.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Wow, perfect, I didn't realize that you've been gone for
eighteen years in ESPN.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Wow eighteen Was that a very tough move for you
at the eighteen year period.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
I know they changed and formats and things moved, the
whole scenario change, But how about for you leaving one
place for eighteen years and starting somewhere else for another
eighteen years?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
How about that transformation here?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm conducting the interview here, but I'll let you answer
that question. Now. You know what it was, Chris. I
think I got to the point where I realized maybe
where Sports Center was headed, and I didn't want to
be part of it. They didn't encourage personalities. They just said,
it's those four letters. And I really needed to try
something new because I'd kind of mastered doing SportsCenter and
(18:56):
I just needed to get out from behind those four letters.
And I couldn't have made it without those four letters,
but you know they were they were a springboard to
try something different and I needed to kind of see
if I could do it myself. And thankfully I did.
I mean, there were times when we didn't know if
we could make paychecks for the dan Etes. When I
(19:16):
first started, we were doing the show out of my
attic for three years. But I kind of needed to
be humbled a little bit because I got a little
too full of myself and I didn't know if I
was getting any better. So that's a well, how about
that long winded door?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I say that you never heard you say that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Interesting?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Okay, but you continue?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes, any other questions for me?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
No, I was gonna ask you Jack Ramsey question. I
know you're big on Jack.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Ramsey, wonderful man, wonderful man. Always enjoyed being around him
during the NBA Finals, And uh, you know what, sometimes
when you see players, the respect that people had, players
and coaches had for doctor Jack Ramsey was amazing. When
we did the Rockets, when the Rockets were winning back
to back, Hachem eliju On after every game would come
(20:07):
up to Jack Ramsey and he would say, doctor Jack,
Doctor Jack, what did you see? And Jack Ramsey would say, Hey,
pump fake at the at the foul line and you
can you can go off the dribble now. If the
person facing a chem had said, doctor Jack, what are
you seeing? He would tell he would knowing him, he
(20:29):
would have said, hey, watch for the head fake at
the top of it. Like he was. If you ask
for advice, he would give you advice. And he was
just a wonderful, selfless, great person. And uh, you know,
dearly missed because he was truly an innovator. You look
at the blazer Mania team.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Oh great, great.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
And you know I remember Jack Ramsey's son went to Rawlins,
Chris Ramsey. Yes, so I knew Jack JACKI used to
come down and visit him all the time.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
So that's number one. Number two. Pat Williams was a
very good.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Buddy of mine who just passed away last week and
funerals tomorrow down in Florida, the whole bit.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But he saved my career.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Pat Williams make a long story short when he got
to Orlando in the mid eighties. But did you know
I did not know this untilarn you. Of course he
told me this last week.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Did you know when he left the Sixers in sixty
eight to become the general manager of the Bulls.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
His first GM job, he was the business manager of
the Sixers. So he goes to Chicago. You know, Jack
wanted to get rid of chet Walker. So the first
trade that Pat made was with this old boss and
he traded Jim Washington for chet.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Walker and chet Walkers.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
You know, was a very good player and was a
very good player in the Bulls. So Pat's first trade
as an executive in the NBA, he stole one from
doctor Jack, which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I was thinking about that the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Anyway, go ahead the headline with the NBA. With TNT
now out of the equation here, what do you think
happens with Shaq and Ernie Kenny, Charles? What do you
think they can do after this next season?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
And then you know, well, didn't Ernie say he wasn't
gonna leave TNT.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
He's not gonna go anywhere? But could they still do
that show in Atlanta even though it's not for TNT?
Could they do it for Amazon?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Listen, I definitely think that. You know, I don't buy
Barkley's retirement nonsense. So he's not quitting. They're paying them
too much money. Number one, what's he gonna do? So
I do think I do think Shaq, Kenny and Charles
will end up somewhere. Maybe they go to NBC. Maybe
they go to Amazon. Hey're too good, the show is
too acclaimed, So they are going to work after the
contract with TNT wears out.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
You know, it's gonna be interesting. Then that is going
to be a weird year next year for those three.
You know, TNT is a lame duck. You know how
lame ducks with the television. It becomes very tricky. Charles
will say lots of crazy.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
I know he's made at TNT anyway for losing the rights,
so well, that is going to be an interesting dynamic,
saying goodbye to a relationship that you've been in in
sports for whatever it is. How long they've had the
rights thirty years? You would know I have been more
than me. It's been long decades. And then for them
to leave, that is going to be tricky. But I
would be shocked if those three now it won't be
(23:18):
earning with somebody else. But I would be stunned if
those three don't end up doing some sort of pregame
postgame on.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Either or either Amazon or NBC. I'd be shocked. I
really would.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Christopher mad Dog Russo, host of mad Dog Unleashed on
Serious XM Channel eighty two host a High Heat on
MMB network and contributes to ESPN's First Take. I do
find it interesting on your radio show you are almost
asked to defend whatever stephen A. Smith says, like, how
do you allow that to happen? Chris, You're there when
(23:50):
he says these things, so you feel like you're put in.
I don't know if it's uncomfortable, but you're kind of
asked to validate or discredit what steven A says.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
Yeah, it's tricky, and I love him and stephen A
is is you know, he's he's a big factor. He's
the reason why I've had this little renaissance, and he's
been great to me. So I don't want to hear
it from my fans. But let's face it, you and
I are doing sports talk. It's a different kind of audience.
You know, my fans, your fans have been following us
for a long period of time. Normally your fans, my
(24:24):
fans are not going to watch debate shows in the
morning on TV. So you know, I don't think the
TV fans listen to the radio, and I don't know
if the radio.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Fans watch the TV.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
So you you know, it's so a little bit like
say Boomersias and doing radio on WFA in New York.
His radio audience and his TV audience are two different things,
so you have to you have to juggle that. Furthermore,
we Nember on ESPN. You do a lot of NBA,
now you know better than anybody. You know, even Olympics stuff.
I do plenty of NBA, but in the middle of January,
(24:59):
I'm not going to break down on a regular season
game between.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
The Thunder and the Tea Wolves. And on an ESPN
they will do that.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
And so I always get asked, Chris, I mean, how
much NBA can you do on ESPN?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Well, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
I mean, that's I don't I don't handle the format
that's up to then, Chris, we're talking NBA today, we're
talking NBA.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I gotta keep my mouth shut and figure out a
way to do it. And again, I'm not going to
do that it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Have you fought the format? Have you been in those
meetings where you go, oh, do we have to talk
about nie something?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
You'll be proud of me. You'll be proud of me.
I'll give you a perfect example. Yesterday I said, guys,
you have to give me a quick take.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
All right, what do you want to do, Chris? You
know that little one minute thing?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
And I said, well, you know, at first we're gonna
do Matt Yankees, and then I thought about it. No,
do the quick take on poor schemes, pitching and ninth inning.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
The day before, you know, he.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
Came out in the ninth inning one to one against
Saint Louis on ninety two pitches.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Give me, give me that. So they gave me a
one minute quick take on Paul schemes.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
So I felt I made a contribution to the diversity
and the versatility of TV sports talk by doing something.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Now, how many times they.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Gave you a minute, Chris.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
A minute? I got a minute about how the highlight up.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
How many times you would know, better than anybody with
ESPN want to do something on Paul's schemes in the morning,
in the middle of July, with football.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Training camps and all that. Never a chance. Never, So
I feel like I made a little contribution he made.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I take my little wins. I take my little wins
when I can get them. Mister Patrick, do you.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Raise your hand and go. I can't talk about Brownie
James anymore. Oh god, yeah, can I can we not
talk about Aaron Rodgers today?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Rodgers is right now, you got to do some because
obviously it's his first couple of days of training camp
and football moves.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'll give you a topic that I think we overdo.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
How many times can I talk about Dark Prescott's can
whether they pay him fifty five million or six Who
cares the client out loud? I mean, let's watch the games.
So I have to do some of that. And those
are topics that we don't normally do on the radio,
you know, on a day and basis. But I'll tell
you Dan something that's interesting, especially this time of the year,
and you know how hard it is to do sports
(27:17):
talk necessarily this.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Time of the year.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
A lot of times I use what I did in
the morning on the Tuesdays or the Wednesdays, and I
will use that for the radio as content to fill
fifteen minutes. For instance, the other day I opened up
this radio show with NFL storylines.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Where did I get that idea or we had done
that on the first take?
Speaker 9 (27:41):
So sometimes I try to and I figured my radio
awarded instant see me on the first take.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So what it was and the first take.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
People watched it don't have serious exam on Channel eighty two,
So to me, it's almost like I used one topic
to pacify to audiences.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You've been there yet.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
You have to you try not to be repetitive, but
you got to make sure that the one audience that
you know what they like, and the other audience you
know what they like, so you try to handle it
both ways.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Does an eighteen game regular season make sense?
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Well, it makes sense, Dannie, only because you and I.
For me and for you, it's content. And let's face it,
the NFL when you and I started doing this thirty
forty years ago, you didn't do the NFL in the
middle of the summertime. You didn't do the NFL in
June July. Now, you didn't even do it really after
the Super Bowl into the Draft. Now it's such a
(28:35):
twelve month sport. I don't know anybody who breaks into
this TV or radio business, and my son's gonna do
this now, who is not going to focus in on
the NFL and college football essentially three sixty five, twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So if it.
Speaker 9 (28:52):
Gives you content, the extra game, you and I both
know what waters down in regular season You and I
both know eighteen games and that sports almost too much.
They're gonna move the Super Bowl to President's Day weekend.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You know that too. You know what, everybody.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Talks football, America's obsessed with it, bet, fantasy, everything else.
You know what, It's gonna help you and I make
our jobs a little easier to have another week of
regular season football.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
To me, it's okay. Is it overdone in the purest form, certainly?
Speaker 9 (29:23):
But for content wise, for Danny Patrick and Christopher Russo,
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What's the most you've ever bet on a sporting event?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Well, here's what I'll tell you. When I bet NBA NFL,
I'll give you a NFL. Let's say I'm gonna bet.
I'm gonna bet the Jets.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
By the way, they're nine and a half over under
Rogers they do for some good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The Jets.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna bet the over. I'm gonna bet him
to win.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Ten games, ten and seven, okay.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Rogers healthy, I'm gonna do that. I'll go to Vegas
to do it. It's a year, it's a six month bet.
What do you think is a reasonable amount for me
to bet? And I'll tell you what my bet is.
You take a pick, you take a guess at it.
You think a reasonable amount is.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You've been called cheap, so not by me, I think,
Mike Frances, Yeah, I'm going to I'm gonna say twenty ten. Okay,
all right, you got my attention.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
It's a five month bet.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I mean that's a day's pay at first.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
Take yeap that way, that's that's a day's pay for
you doing this show. To my friends.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Oh yeah, that's not five poorhouse Nen.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
We're all we're all doing well, we're all, we're all
do that. Okay, ten grand, I'll.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Go to Vegas and I'll get the bets in and
it keeps me into it for four or five months.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Okay, maybe I'll take five grand of that and take
the under You.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Want to go the other way on it.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Jets, the chats, they're the they're the I know.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
I'll tell you. There's a lot of teams.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
I like, did you see the Atlanta schedule the Falcons?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No, oh my god, it's easy. I got other things
to do. Then look at the Falcons schedule.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I understand, Well, if you bet ten grand, you.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Wouldn't that, Okay, are you betting ten grand on any
other over?
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yes, how much are you betting? When you go to Vegas?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I'll bet three four teams?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Okay, So you're gonna bet.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I can't take the money with me for crying out loud,
what the hell?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
But your family can.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Let them earn it themselves.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay. So you're gonna bet thirty or forty thousand dollars
prior to the start of the season.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
I will do it legally in Vegas, correct, okay?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, so your other over under. So you have the
Jets at nine and a half.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I haven't figured out exactly which one jet. I like
the Rams for the eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I like the Rams too. I like the Rams.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
I like Atlanta, as I said, and I always like
to take an un and last year I took the
Eagles at eleven or eleven and a half. You know,
they were ten and one, and I wondered that.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was shot. Nick Sirianni kept his job after that.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
But this is how betting works. I also took Jacksonville
over nine and a half. They were eight and three.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You'll win one, yes, you'll lose one. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
By the way, can I ask you something it's funny.
Did you see the trailer for the new Bob Dylan movie.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
With Timothy Chalomagne.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yes, did you see that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I've just seen. I've read articles, seen pictures.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
His look of a complete it's called a complete unknown.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, like a rolling stone.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Oh my god, well I've be into that comes out Christmas.
You have to see that. I get Todd Fritz or
one of your dad Netes to get that for you.
It's great, it's great.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well you just discovered good music not too long ago,
Laurel Canyon. Yes, yes, Then all of a sudden you're like, wow,
Joni Mitchell, I guess she was pretty good. Crosby Stills,
Nash and yelling job Danny.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You listen more than I think you do.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I'm always doing a drive by Chris. I just want
to keep you honest. You know when you're right.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Though, right. And there's a new book on Jonny Mitchell out.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I did. Joni had a lot of boyfriends.
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Oh she sure did, Oh my god, yes, yeah, you
know Crosby Graham, Mash, Jackson Brown, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
God, funny, yeah she did, all right. Well, you don't
keep fighting a good fight, there, dog. I love you, Dan,
Thank you, buddy, you.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Have had all you are something keep it going.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Thank you. I don't know what that means, but I'm
going to take Chris's word for it that that's something good.
I'm something. Uh. They signed a three year extent to
stay at a serious XM. All right, let me take
a break. We'll come back. I got phone calls to
get to back after this.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
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 WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
PAULI just asked me a fair but thought provoking question.
When is it too early to have a sausage or
a hot dog? Now, well, you can have sausage with breakfast,
but a hot dog before eleven in the morning on
a bun. Okay, but this is different. You know this
our day starts earlier. You know, how about a good
(34:36):
hot dog or so? I mean, I bought one of
those hot dog rollers that you see at like a
convenience store. It's ready, it's rolling, literally rolling, So I thought,
you know what, I got some red haunts put them
on there. Of course, Fritzy coming out there, wanted to
have one. I had half of it already.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
I'm saving the other half when once you go to
commercial break, I will take that down. A little trouble
opening up the mustard lid. I'm not sure why that was.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We know why it was. But he was frustrated. He goes,
how do you open up the mustard? How do you?
I don't know how to where's the thing? Where's the
pop up? I ripped the whole cap with I was
just in the hole because there was just a hole
left at the tip. He twisted off the top and
Marvin goes, you just do this time once again? How
did you graduate SEC?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Because it's book.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Smarts, That's what it is.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
It's not street smarts, it's not any other smarts. It's
memorizing stuff and writing essays and writing the right answer on.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Tests, occasionally cheating off. Your eyes are looking at the.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I would say on the hot dog question, if you're
just like a day of the week and it's you know,
ten twenty am and you're firing up a couple of
hot dogs, I don't think that's right. That's you're probably
not living a healthy lifestyle. But there are certain situations
if you're tailgating, you could eat a hot dog or
broad or sausage at any point in the morning. If
you're at an airport, all rules are suspended of time
and place for what accurate You could have a double
(35:59):
cheeseburger at seven forty five am at airport in Chicago.
Airports everyone needs hot dogs in the morning, and I
would say at casinos because there is no time. You
can eat anything anytime of day. Okay, definitely to those
three are.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
When I see somebody have a bear at eight am
at the airport, I'm like, nah, no, now they might
do that to calm their nerve. Vacation beers though, No.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
No, what if you and some bros Are on their
way to like combo send Louk No, no.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
No, I'm gonna have enough beers when I get there
that I don't need to kickstart my vacation with my bros.
Speaker 11 (36:34):
I was always a, uh, I'm at the airport beer guy.
So you get to the airport, find where you're going,
and they're like, all right, let's go get a beer.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have been there. I guess you
suspend time in space when you're there. You're just like, yeah,
just here at the airport. This isn't weird.
Speaker 11 (36:52):
But but you wouldn't. There's always somebody else there, at
least a couple of people. It's true, but you wouldn't
do this at home. If your wife came down at
seven thirty in the morning and you're drinking a beer
having a hot dog at the kitchen table.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
He bit heitit. Hey, what do you have a beer
and a hot dog? Yes? Tom?
Speaker 10 (37:14):
Would you care about buying any food item to bring
on the plane for your flight that may have an
odor that's not favorable? Like if would you get a
tuna sandwich?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Have you done this?
Speaker 9 (37:23):
I have?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (37:23):
Would you bring like a tuna sandwich? And just sitting
next to whoever, No, I may not love the smell
of tuna fish right.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Next to no. Who loves the smell of tuna fish
when they're not eating it? When somebody else is, You're like, man,
this smells great. And on a plane. Yeah. See.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
A long time ago I worked at I was an
intern for a morning show, a classic rock morning show,
and the woman who hosted the morning show at the
country station next door. Every single morning, around seven thirty
in the morning, she would heat up a tuna melt
and it blew up the whole hallway and everybody was
(37:59):
always She's just like, ah, why does she do every
single morning she'd have a tuna melt at about seven thirty,
just blew up the whole hallway, smelling like that was
the worst.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
A couple of phone calls in here Sean in Indianapolis. Hi, Sean,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 12 (38:15):
Marian Dan. I feel like I'm coming out of the
womb with this phone call. I am going back to
the first hour you were talking about the Olympics and everything.
I kind of wondered, Simone Biles. You know, last Olympics
she had the quote unquote yips. Why is this she
any criticism or you know what's going to happen if
(38:39):
she doesn't come through in this Olympics. I just want
to hear your thoughts on that.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well. I don't know if you now would I want
to talk about that to her? If I was going
to do a profile, I would. I think you got
to be careful with that. It's like a golfer who
has the yips. They don't want to talk about it,
but it is his story. And that's where it's a
delicate kind of tricky balance there of asking a question
(39:05):
that you don't want to linger in the athlete's head,
even though the audience wants to know really what happened,
because it's not like people followed Simone Biles's career after
the Olympics the way they were doing it during the Olympics,
and it was a moment that like, you couldn't believe
what you were seeing, greatest gymnast in history, and she
(39:29):
can't do a certain dismount and it's in her head.
You want to ask the question so we can kind
of think about that when you're performing at your best now.
You just don't want her to think back to what
she was going through.
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Yeah, seen, Well one, I think it's odd to want
to criticize her going into the Olympics for something that
she hasn't done yet, right, Like, why isn't she getting
more criticism heading into this Olympics? Well, why would she?
She hasn't done anything wrong, And not that she didn't
do anything wrong in the last one, but I think
there's a huge difference between Simone Biles and what she
(40:05):
was struggling with versus say, Chuck Nablock can't get the
ball from second over to first. When Chuck Nablock does that,
it's an error. Simone Biles. If she can't flip the
right way, she breaks her neck, she breaks her back.
She you know, it's like a catastrophic injury. That's a
little different than Charles Barkley can't swing a golf club anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Well, I think Seawn misspoke. It's not about where's the
criticism as more as where are the questions that leading
up to this about that moment? Yeah, once again it's
the Olympics are feel good, talk positive, especially the gymnast
and you know those are big ratings draw But people
(40:46):
will think about that with Simone Biles. I will when
I'm watching her. I hadn't thought about it in years,
but I will now. And maybe it's one of those
where they do a flashback of a dismount that she
pulls off this time around to what you know didn't
happen four years ago. But I do think, you know,
those are legitimate storylines, questions, not criticism, because like we
(41:13):
can't process it like the yips until you have the
yips and then you go, okay, oh that's that's what
it feels like. But yeah, I do think that those
are questions that I would love to have her reflect
back and how she grew from that.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and
the Dan Ence Dan Patrick Show. We took you to Paris.
Last hour, we talked to Mike Tarico. He joined us
in front of the Eiffel Tower. Get a chance go
to Paris. A lot of sights to see there, not
just the Eiffel Tower. Christopher Matd Doug Russo will join
(00:23):
us coming up here in a little bit. Team USA
basketball has Serbia coming up on Sunday. Well, that means
you got the joker. But the last time they played,
they played in a friendly and they played great defense.
They really shut down Serbia. They shut down the joker.
I don't know if that's where their competition is going
(00:46):
to come from. It feels like, and we've seen this
so far where they've had close games. Germany was close,
South Sudan that was close. I expect them to have
some close games here. Now all of a sudden, things
get ramped up a little bit. Everybody playing Team USA
is going to play as hard as they probably can.
(01:08):
Team USA probably picking and choosing as these players do
during the regular season. Now, all of a sudden, this
feels postseason, Like now, all of a sudden, you're going
to play defense. Now, all of a sudden, a loose ball, you're.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Going to go for it, Whereas before you might say, eh,
probably not today. Now this is when the games begin,
truly begin, the competition begins. But point spread team USA
versus Serbia is.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Let's play guests that point spread USA versus Serbia, USA
is favored.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, I'm going to say USA thirteen. Okay, Todd eight
and a half, Seaton nine and a half, Marvin thirteen
and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Is giving fourteen and a half to Serbia. Slap on
the face to the entire country of Serbia.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I don't think Serbia is that good. I think
they have the best player in basketball. But when I
watched him play last time, I mean, they were overwhelmed,
it felt like. But Team USA played some really really
good defense. And you know that's the difference. Even when
the Dream Team was playing, when they really looked great,
is when they played defense, when they Scotty and Mike
(02:27):
were shutting down Tony Koukoach, they played defense to win
that gold medal. This team got to play a little
defense here, because if you get a couple of these
countries who hit their threes. If somebody gets squirrely and
hits fifteen threes, now all of a sudden, Team USA
is fallible.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the US seemed like they took Serbia
real series because they have a lot of respect for
the Joker South Sudan. They seemed like they could just
turn it on and off whenever they felt like it,
because they don't have somebody on that same caliber as
Joker or Luca.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Or Greek Freak. So that'll be on Sunday. The Olympic.
The opening ceremony will be tomorrow tomorrow at noon Eastern
on NBC and Peacock NBC, Amazon, ESPN Score the NBA
rights TNT is left out. I'm not surprised at this.
It felt like they were sort of in. They were
(03:16):
half in and half out. And I wouldn't use the
threat of losing Charles Barkley in Shack as a reason
why we want to stay with TMT, because Charles isn't
going to do it that much longer. This is a
ten year, eleven year deal that you have. You got
to start thinking about that down the road, you know,
(03:36):
and four years from now, five seven, ten years down
the road. Where is the NBA? How consumable is it streaming?
And that's why you're you know, in business with Amazon,
NBC and Peacock getting streaming, you're gonna have games just
about every night. This is you know, this is what
This is the last deal that Adam Silver is probably
(03:58):
going to make as the commissioner as far as a
TV deal, because in a decade from now, is he
still the commissioner of the NBA? All right? Eight seven
to seven three, DP Show email address, Dpadanpatrick dot com
Twitter handle at DP show. Yesterday we spent a little
time talking about the Cowboys from the standpoint of your
coach and your quarterback going into the last year of
(04:19):
their deals. And I asked Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback,
who's likely to be more likely to be there next year?
And he said Dak. Because if you truly believe in
Mike McCarthy, who did win a Super Bowl, then nobody's
talked about him getting extended. It's all about Dak Prescott,
which I find really curious. But you know, Mike McCarthy's
(04:41):
going to say all the right things. Hey, I'm betting
on myself. Yeah, well, you have no other choice but
to bet on yourself. I was looking at now there's
coaches on the hot seat, and I was curious the
win totals for those teams with coaches who could be
on the hot seat. Let's start in Buffalo Sean McDermott.
You lose Stefan Diggs. Some people think they'll be just
(05:03):
as good as they were last year. The over under
for the Buffalo Bills is ten and a half wins.
I'm a little surprised at that. The Giants Brian Dable
started out great. Now all of a sudden, maybe not
trending in that direction. Over under for the Giants this
year six and a half wins. Seat's gonna get hotter,
(05:30):
going to get warmer. How about Matt Eberflus, the new
and improved Bears over underwin total eight and a half.
I'm taking the over. How about the Broncos Sean Payton, Okay,
maybe not Bronco's over under his five and a half. Now,
(05:53):
this might be one of those where they get six wins.
We see a lot of positives with bo Nicks. Oh
maybe there's a little bit more momentum, but feels like
this isn't the hot seat year for Sean Payton. Next
year is how about the Jets? Robert Salah over under
(06:14):
nine and a half wins? It feels like this is
make or break year for coach and GM with the Jets,
e Ts, Eagles iggles. Imagine, okay, over under is ten
and a half wins for the Eagles and you got
(06:37):
a coach who is on the hot seat with ten
and a half win team, and then you have this
Jalen Hurts Sirianni are they on the same page and
they're not and they're working on their relationship. It feels
like we're a little too deep into their relationship for
them to be working on their relationship. Yes, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, is it the hot seat always based off of expectations,
because if you're the Eagles, the expectation is to at
least get to the super Bowl, not win the division.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, but this is a good team. This is as
talented as you know the Niners. And you would think, like, Okay,
how many wins does it take for him to keep
his job if he wins ten or does it matter
what they do in the postseason? Didn't they lose to
Tampa and the playoffs last year? They got roughed up.
(07:32):
Just feels like and then I think he had a
press conference where he said, I don't have any answers.
That's not what you want to hear from your coach.
I don't know, I don't have any answers. So the
Jags Doug Peterson eight and a half wins. How about
the Saints? Who knows the Saints head coach Todd Dennis Allen? Yeah,
(07:57):
that was your Super Bowl pick last year?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
They had their quarterback as the MVP too.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, almost came close. Saints over Under and perhaps Dennis
Allen's last year as the head coach. Seven and a
half wins. Then Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys. Is
this all about the postseason and not the regular season?
Ten and a half wins for the Cowboys feels like
(08:28):
it's right there at ten wins for this team, But
then we don't know what's going to happen with CD
Lamb and Michael Parsons Dak Prescott. But ten and a
half wins, Okay, let's say they end up with eleven. Now,
how far do you go in the postseason? If they
go to the NFC title Game, probably keeps his job
(08:49):
if you don't get to the NFC title game, probably
doesn't keep his job. And you know that you have
Bill Belichick waiting. They know that, Yes, so he's he's
always there. Whether Bill would want to, you know, coach
under Jerry Jones, I think is a maybe a huge
(09:10):
question that would need to be answered at some point.
But I mean Bill's not gonna answer it because he
didn't want to ruin his leverage for other jobs. H Philadelphia,
I think for Belichick and the Giants. For Belichick, I
could see. I could see those two before I would
see the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Marmon for the Cowboys. I
(09:31):
don't care what round it is. You can't lose a
home playoff game. If you lose a home playoff game,
you're out. Okay, Like he's by McCarthy's done. Okay, Well,
they probably won't have home field advantage if they get
to the NFC Titlekay, I'm guessing San Francisco. You know,
a sneaky super Bowl team, the Rams like like a
(09:56):
sneaky you know, because I started to think, okay, I
gotta have my Super Bowl pick coming up. You know,
in a few weeks before the season starts, you start
to gather how many teams Aaron Rodgers said yesterday eight
to twelve teams can win the Super Bowl, which it's
not twelve, it's probably maybe eight at the most. Can
the Jets win the Super Bowl? I mean they can
(10:19):
from the standpoint of their playing their season, so they
do have a chance. But nine and a half wins
all goes well, you get ten eleven. Maybe you're going
to invest if these are stocks. Are you investing in
the Jets right now? Or would you invest in the
Rams instead of would you invest in the Packers instead
(10:42):
of if they were stocks? Or would you just say, look,
I'm taking Kansas City, I'm taking San Francisco. Those are
the two best teams. You know, the Brandon Nyuk situation,
how does that play out? Is it there during the
regular season? Does something change before the start of the regulars? Yeah,
you've still got a great nucleus there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Pauling with the Rams twenty twenty one, they're twelve and five,
they win the Super Bowl, and then they fall off
the cliff, go five and twelve. Everybody kind of jumped
off their bandwagon and they got no we do this
for a living. They got no coverage last year and
they were ten and seven, Yes and hookah, and they've
got a good running back and kind of stabilized everything.
They're starting to get their draft picks back, but they're
(11:23):
off the radar of Super Bowl expectation.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I got no articles. Well, the Chargers have overshadowed them
as far as coverage goes. By the way, I'm going
to miss Jim Harball in college. I'm already missing Jim
Horble like it Big ten media day, him going in
defending national champ. Now he's still entertaining, and he opened
up his press conference yesterday with this.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Just the way it feels, I mean, feels like Begger's Day.
You know, it feels like being born. Feels like coming
out of the womb. You know, it's like here and there,
it's comfortable, it's safe, and now you're out.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You're born.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
The lights are on, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's bright, chaos.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
People look people looking at you, people people talking at you,
and just feels good to have it happened.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Okay, first day of camp. It feels like birth, except
for maybe your wife, but it feels like birth. You
come out and everybody's staring at you. The lights are bright.
But Harball is entertaining. And I wondered about this with
Harball because the Chargers have been cheap before with their
(12:35):
coaching hires, and Jim was going to be a big
ticket item. You can't spend all that money on Justin
Herbert and then all of a sudden, you're not going
to get a coach who can compliment him, and vice versa.
And I think the Chargers finally stepped up to say,
all right, we're going to spend all this money on
Justin Herbert. We should spend money on a coach who
(12:57):
has proven how great he is every single stop. Took
a while at Michigan, but then he proved himself, whether
it was with the Niners, whether it was at San Diego.
He proves himself. And now you get him with the Chargers.
So now you have a different kind of respect there,
and Justin Herbert should be a lot better because now
(13:18):
you get somebody who played the position, is good at
coaching the position. You know they're going to run the football.
They're going to be it feels like economical when it
comes to passing, They're not going to go. You know
this is we're going to be, you know, the second
coming of Dan Marino. He may throw twenty five touchdown
(13:39):
passes this year, but how many interceptions and then how
many more wins? And you're going to be set up
to be a better playoff team. If you make the playoffs.
Harball will have a physical line, a running game, and
then passing might be complimentary. That's the feeling I get. Jim,
(14:00):
in his style and what he believes in, you may
just get a pro version of Michigan. And I think
that's where the Chargers make the ride. They were going
to bring in Mike Brabel. It was Rabel's job. Jim
decided that he wanted to coach again in the NFL.
That's how it happened. But if you're Justin Herbert, you
got Harball there, little wacky at times, but you know what,
(14:25):
it'll be refreshing and he'll make Justin Herbert better. That's
the key. And any quarterback you want consistency. Like Jalen Hurts,
I think has had three different offensive coordinators. That's usue
death for a quarterback. What happened in Chicago. Coaches offensive coordinators,
you gotta have consistency. Look at New England Matt Patricia.
(14:48):
Defensive coordinators. Is the offensive coordinator, greatest coach in history
with one of the dumbest moves that he ever made.
Mac Jones had no chance. You gotta have consistency having
Harball there with Justin Herbert for let's say the next
four years, five years, that's when we might see Justin
Herbert be a true top five quarterback. All Right, we'll
(15:11):
take a break. Phone calls coming up. Christopher mad Dog
Russo will join us back after this. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 8 (15:38):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blober li lame and me.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino on Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by

or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, update our poll results. We'll settle on a poll question.
For hour two. We make way for Christopher mad Dog Russo,
host of mad Dog Unleashed, and you can see him
contributing to a first take with Steven Ang just signed
a new three year extension to stay as the face
and voice of mad Dog Sports Radio. Okay, I'm working,
(16:53):
I'm working. I'm working for three and a half more years.
Are you trying to steal my head lines by only
working three more years?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
You know, I hadn't thought of that, and nobody can
steal your headlines, you little radio Hall of famer. You well,
you know I thought of it, though. It's interesting. Did
you know that I was with Mike for nineteen years?
And did you know when I did that press conference
way back in September of or maybe in August of
two thousand and eight, I said that I look at
(17:24):
Sirius as the second half.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Of my career. And I just said it at the time,
you know, the b litte press conference.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
That did And did you know that end of these
three years, it would be nineteen years for Sirious, So
I would have done nineteen with Mike and then after
these three years up, I never thought of it nineteen
with Sirius. So maybe thirty eight years would be enough
for Chris ressup.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
So maybe at sixty eight and you're going to go
a lot longer than me.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
I mean, you're a big star for crying out loud,
Feisty and bet By and they got this show that's
as hot as hell, So maybe I will leave the
scene to give you the platform.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Thank you all right, well, thank you for being a
team player. I was at ESPN for eighteen years. I've
been gone from ESPN for eighteen years.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Wow, perfect, I didn't realize that you've been gone for
eighteen years in ESPN.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Wow eighteen Was that a very tough move for you
at the eighteen year period.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
I know they changed and formats and things moved, the
whole scenario change, But how about for you leaving one
place for eighteen years and starting somewhere else for another
eighteen years?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
How about that transformation here?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm conducting the interview here, but I'll let you answer
that question. Now. You know what it was, Chris. I
think I got to the point where I realized maybe
where Sports Center was headed, and I didn't want to
be part of it. They didn't encourage personalities. They just said,
it's those four letters. And I really needed to try
something new because I'd kind of mastered doing SportsCenter and
(18:56):
I just needed to get out from behind those four letters.
And I couldn't have made it without those four letters,
but you know they were they were a springboard to
try something different and I needed to kind of see
if I could do it myself. And thankfully I did.
I mean, there were times when we didn't know if
we could make paychecks for the dan Etes. When I
(19:16):
first started, we were doing the show out of my
attic for three years. But I kind of needed to
be humbled a little bit because I got a little
too full of myself and I didn't know if I
was getting any better. So that's a well, how about
that long winded door?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I say that you never heard you say that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Interesting?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Okay, but you continue?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes, any other questions for me?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
No, I was gonna ask you Jack Ramsey question. I
know you're big on Jack.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Ramsey, wonderful man, wonderful man. Always enjoyed being around him
during the NBA Finals, And uh, you know what, sometimes
when you see players, the respect that people had, players
and coaches had for doctor Jack Ramsey was amazing. When
we did the Rockets, when the Rockets were winning back
to back, Hachem eliju On after every game would come
(20:07):
up to Jack Ramsey and he would say, doctor Jack,
Doctor Jack, what did you see? And Jack Ramsey would say, Hey,
pump fake at the at the foul line and you
can you can go off the dribble now. If the
person facing a chem had said, doctor Jack, what are
you seeing? He would tell he would knowing him, he
(20:29):
would have said, hey, watch for the head fake at
the top of it. Like he was. If you ask
for advice, he would give you advice. And he was
just a wonderful, selfless, great person. And uh, you know,
dearly missed because he was truly an innovator. You look
at the blazer Mania team.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Oh great, great.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
And you know I remember Jack Ramsey's son went to Rawlins,
Chris Ramsey. Yes, so I knew Jack JACKI used to
come down and visit him all the time.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
So that's number one. Number two. Pat Williams was a
very good.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Buddy of mine who just passed away last week and
funerals tomorrow down in Florida, the whole bit.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But he saved my career.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Pat Williams make a long story short when he got
to Orlando in the mid eighties. But did you know
I did not know this untilarn you. Of course he
told me this last week.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Did you know when he left the Sixers in sixty
eight to become the general manager of the Bulls.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
His first GM job, he was the business manager of
the Sixers. So he goes to Chicago. You know, Jack
wanted to get rid of chet Walker. So the first
trade that Pat made was with this old boss and
he traded Jim Washington for chet.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Walker and chet Walkers.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
You know, was a very good player and was a
very good player in the Bulls. So Pat's first trade
as an executive in the NBA, he stole one from
doctor Jack, which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I was thinking about that the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Anyway, go ahead the headline with the NBA. With TNT
now out of the equation here, what do you think
happens with Shaq and Ernie Kenny, Charles? What do you
think they can do after this next season?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
And then you know, well, didn't Ernie say he wasn't
gonna leave TNT.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
He's not gonna go anywhere? But could they still do
that show in Atlanta even though it's not for TNT?
Could they do it for Amazon?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Listen, I definitely think that. You know, I don't buy
Barkley's retirement nonsense. So he's not quitting. They're paying them
too much money. Number one, what's he gonna do? So
I do think I do think Shaq, Kenny and Charles
will end up somewhere. Maybe they go to NBC. Maybe
they go to Amazon. Hey're too good, the show is
too acclaimed, So they are going to work after the
contract with TNT wears out.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
You know, it's gonna be interesting. Then that is going
to be a weird year next year for those three.
You know, TNT is a lame duck. You know how
lame ducks with the television. It becomes very tricky. Charles
will say lots of crazy.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
I know he's made at TNT anyway for losing the rights,
so well, that is going to be an interesting dynamic,
saying goodbye to a relationship that you've been in in
sports for whatever it is. How long they've had the
rights thirty years? You would know I have been more
than me. It's been long decades. And then for them
to leave, that is going to be tricky. But I
would be shocked if those three now it won't be
(23:18):
earning with somebody else. But I would be stunned if
those three don't end up doing some sort of pregame
postgame on.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Either or either Amazon or NBC. I'd be shocked. I
really would.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Christopher mad Dog Russo, host of mad Dog Unleashed on
Serious XM Channel eighty two host a High Heat on
MMB network and contributes to ESPN's First Take. I do
find it interesting on your radio show you are almost
asked to defend whatever stephen A. Smith says, like, how
do you allow that to happen? Chris, You're there when
(23:50):
he says these things, so you feel like you're put in.
I don't know if it's uncomfortable, but you're kind of
asked to validate or discredit what steven A says.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
Yeah, it's tricky, and I love him and stephen A
is is you know, he's he's a big factor. He's
the reason why I've had this little renaissance, and he's
been great to me. So I don't want to hear
it from my fans. But let's face it, you and
I are doing sports talk. It's a different kind of audience.
You know, my fans, your fans have been following us
for a long period of time. Normally your fans, my
(24:24):
fans are not going to watch debate shows in the
morning on TV. So you know, I don't think the
TV fans listen to the radio, and I don't know
if the radio.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Fans watch the TV.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
So you you know, it's so a little bit like
say Boomersias and doing radio on WFA in New York.
His radio audience and his TV audience are two different things,
so you have to you have to juggle that. Furthermore,
we Nember on ESPN. You do a lot of NBA,
now you know better than anybody. You know, even Olympics stuff.
I do plenty of NBA, but in the middle of January,
(24:59):
I'm not going to break down on a regular season
game between.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
The Thunder and the Tea Wolves. And on an ESPN
they will do that.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
And so I always get asked, Chris, I mean, how
much NBA can you do on ESPN?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Well, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
I mean, that's I don't I don't handle the format
that's up to then, Chris, we're talking NBA today, we're
talking NBA.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I gotta keep my mouth shut and figure out a
way to do it. And again, I'm not going to
do that it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Have you fought the format? Have you been in those
meetings where you go, oh, do we have to talk
about nie something?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
You'll be proud of me. You'll be proud of me.
I'll give you a perfect example. Yesterday I said, guys,
you have to give me a quick take.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
All right, what do you want to do, Chris? You
know that little one minute thing?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
And I said, well, you know, at first we're gonna
do Matt Yankees, and then I thought about it. No,
do the quick take on poor schemes, pitching and ninth inning.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
The day before, you know, he.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
Came out in the ninth inning one to one against
Saint Louis on ninety two pitches.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Give me, give me that. So they gave me a
one minute quick take on Paul schemes.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
So I felt I made a contribution to the diversity
and the versatility of TV sports talk by doing something.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Now, how many times they.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Gave you a minute, Chris.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
A minute? I got a minute about how the highlight up.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
How many times you would know, better than anybody with
ESPN want to do something on Paul's schemes in the morning,
in the middle of July, with football.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Training camps and all that. Never a chance. Never, So
I feel like I made a little contribution he made.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I take my little wins. I take my little wins
when I can get them. Mister Patrick, do you.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Raise your hand and go. I can't talk about Brownie
James anymore. Oh god, yeah, can I can we not
talk about Aaron Rodgers today?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Rodgers is right now, you got to do some because
obviously it's his first couple of days of training camp
and football moves.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'll give you a topic that I think we overdo.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
How many times can I talk about Dark Prescott's can
whether they pay him fifty five million or six Who
cares the client out loud? I mean, let's watch the games.
So I have to do some of that. And those
are topics that we don't normally do on the radio,
you know, on a day and basis. But I'll tell
you Dan something that's interesting, especially this time of the year,
and you know how hard it is to do sports
(27:17):
talk necessarily this.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Time of the year.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
A lot of times I use what I did in
the morning on the Tuesdays or the Wednesdays, and I
will use that for the radio as content to fill
fifteen minutes. For instance, the other day I opened up
this radio show with NFL storylines.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Where did I get that idea or we had done
that on the first take?
Speaker 9 (27:41):
So sometimes I try to and I figured my radio
awarded instant see me on the first take.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So what it was and the first take.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
People watched it don't have serious exam on Channel eighty two,
So to me, it's almost like I used one topic
to pacify to audiences.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You've been there yet.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
You have to you try not to be repetitive, but
you got to make sure that the one audience that
you know what they like, and the other audience you
know what they like, so you try to handle it
both ways.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Does an eighteen game regular season make sense?
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Well, it makes sense, Dannie, only because you and I.
For me and for you, it's content. And let's face it,
the NFL when you and I started doing this thirty
forty years ago, you didn't do the NFL in the
middle of the summertime. You didn't do the NFL in
June July. Now, you didn't even do it really after
the Super Bowl into the Draft. Now it's such a
(28:35):
twelve month sport. I don't know anybody who breaks into
this TV or radio business, and my son's gonna do
this now, who is not going to focus in on
the NFL and college football essentially three sixty five, twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So if it.
Speaker 9 (28:52):
Gives you content, the extra game, you and I both
know what waters down in regular season You and I
both know eighteen games and that sports almost too much.
They're gonna move the Super Bowl to President's Day weekend.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You know that too. You know what, everybody.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Talks football, America's obsessed with it, bet, fantasy, everything else.
You know what, It's gonna help you and I make
our jobs a little easier to have another week of
regular season football.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
To me, it's okay. Is it overdone in the purest form, certainly?
Speaker 9 (29:23):
But for content wise, for Danny Patrick and Christopher Russo,
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What's the most you've ever bet on a sporting event?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Well, here's what I'll tell you. When I bet NBA NFL,
I'll give you a NFL. Let's say I'm gonna bet.
I'm gonna bet the Jets.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
By the way, they're nine and a half over under
Rogers they do for some good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The Jets.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna bet the over. I'm gonna bet him
to win.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Ten games, ten and seven, okay.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
Rogers healthy, I'm gonna do that. I'll go to Vegas
to do it. It's a year, it's a six month bet.
What do you think is a reasonable amount for me
to bet? And I'll tell you what my bet is.
You take a pick, you take a guess at it.
You think a reasonable amount is.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You've been called cheap, so not by me, I think,
Mike Frances, Yeah, I'm going to I'm gonna say twenty ten. Okay,
all right, you got my attention.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
It's a five month bet.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I mean that's a day's pay at first.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
Take yeap that way, that's that's a day's pay for
you doing this show. To my friends.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Oh yeah, that's not five poorhouse Nen.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
We're all we're all doing well, we're all, we're all
do that. Okay, ten grand, I'll.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Go to Vegas and I'll get the bets in and
it keeps me into it for four or five months.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Okay, maybe I'll take five grand of that and take
the under You.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Want to go the other way on it.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Jets, the chats, they're the they're the I know.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
I'll tell you. There's a lot of teams.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
I like, did you see the Atlanta schedule the Falcons?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No, oh my god, it's easy. I got other things
to do. Then look at the Falcons schedule.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I understand, Well, if you bet ten grand, you.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Wouldn't that, Okay, are you betting ten grand on any
other over?
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yes, how much are you betting? When you go to Vegas?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I'll bet three four teams?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Okay, So you're gonna bet.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I can't take the money with me for crying out loud,
what the hell?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
But your family can.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Let them earn it themselves.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay. So you're gonna bet thirty or forty thousand dollars
prior to the start of the season.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
I will do it legally in Vegas, correct, okay?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, so your other over under. So you have the
Jets at nine and a half.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I haven't figured out exactly which one jet. I like
the Rams for the eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I like the Rams too. I like the Rams.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
I like Atlanta, as I said, and I always like
to take an un and last year I took the
Eagles at eleven or eleven and a half. You know,
they were ten and one, and I wondered that.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was shot. Nick Sirianni kept his job after that.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
But this is how betting works. I also took Jacksonville
over nine and a half. They were eight and three.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You'll win one, yes, you'll lose one. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:32):

Thank you, buddy, you.
Speaker 5 (33:48):

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Thank you. I don't know what that means, but I'm
going to take Chris's word for it that that's something good.
I'm something. Uh. They signed a three year extent to
stay at a serious XM. All right, let me take
a break. We'll come back. I got phone calls to
get to back after this.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
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 WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
PAULI just asked me a fair but thought provoking question.
When is it too early to have a sausage or
a hot dog? Now, well, you can have sausage with breakfast,
but a hot dog before eleven in the morning on
a bun. Okay, but this is different. You know this
our day starts earlier. You know, how about a good
(34:36):
hot dog or so? I mean, I bought one of
those hot dog rollers that you see at like a
convenience store. It's ready, it's rolling, literally rolling, So I thought,
you know what, I got some red haunts put them
on there. Of course, Fritzy coming out there, wanted to
have one. I had half of it already.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
I'm saving the other half when once you go to
commercial break, I will take that down. A little trouble
opening up the mustard lid. I'm not sure why that was.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We know why it was. But he was frustrated. He goes,
how do you open up the mustard? How do you?
I don't know how to where's the thing? Where's the
pop up? I ripped the whole cap with I was
just in the hole because there was just a hole
left at the tip. He twisted off the top and
Marvin goes, you just do this time once again? How
did you graduate SEC?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Because it's book.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Smarts, That's what it is.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
It's not street smarts, it's not any other smarts. It's
memorizing stuff and writing essays and writing the right answer on.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Tests, occasionally cheating off. Your eyes are looking at the.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I would say on the hot dog question, if you're
just like a day of the week and it's you know,
ten twenty am and you're firing up a couple of
hot dogs, I don't think that's right. That's you're probably
not living a healthy lifestyle. But there are certain situations
if you're tailgating, you could eat a hot dog or
broad or sausage at any point in the morning. If
you're at an airport, all rules are suspended of time
and place for what accurate You could have a double
(35:59):
cheeseburger at seven forty five am at airport in Chicago.
Airports everyone needs hot dogs in the morning, and I
would say at casinos because there is no time. You
can eat anything anytime of day. Okay, definitely to those
three are.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
When I see somebody have a bear at eight am
at the airport, I'm like, nah, no, now they might
do that to calm their nerve. Vacation beers though, No.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
No, what if you and some bros Are on their
way to like combo send Louk No, no.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
No, I'm gonna have enough beers when I get there
that I don't need to kickstart my vacation with my bros.
Speaker 11 (36:34):
I was always a, uh, I'm at the airport beer guy.
So you get to the airport, find where you're going,
and they're like, all right, let's go get a beer.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have been there. I guess you
suspend time in space when you're there. You're just like, yeah,
just here at the airport. This isn't weird.
Speaker 11 (36:52):
But but you wouldn't. There's always somebody else there, at
least a couple of people. It's true, but you wouldn't
do this at home. If your wife came down at
seven thirty in the morning and you're drinking a beer
having a hot dog at the kitchen table.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
He bit heitit. Hey, what do you have a beer
and a hot dog? Yes? Tom?
Speaker 10 (37:14):
Would you care about buying any food item to bring
on the plane for your flight that may have an
odor that's not favorable? Like if would you get a
tuna sandwich?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Have you done this?
Speaker 9 (37:23):
I have?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (37:23):
Would you bring like a tuna sandwich? And just sitting
next to whoever, No, I may not love the smell
of tuna fish right.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Next to no. Who loves the smell of tuna fish
when they're not eating it? When somebody else is, You're like, man,
this smells great. And on a plane. Yeah. See.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
A long time ago I worked at I was an
intern for a morning show, a classic rock morning show,
and the woman who hosted the morning show at the
country station next door. Every single morning, around seven thirty
in the morning, she would heat up a tuna melt
and it blew up the whole hallway and everybody was
(37:59):
always She's just like, ah, why does she do every
single morning she'd have a tuna melt at about seven thirty,
just blew up the whole hallway, smelling like that was
the worst.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
A couple of phone calls in here Sean in Indianapolis. Hi, Sean,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 12 (38:15):
Marian Dan. I feel like I'm coming out of the
womb with this phone call. I am going back to
the first hour you were talking about the Olympics and everything.
I kind of wondered, Simone Biles. You know, last Olympics
she had the quote unquote yips. Why is this she
any criticism or you know what's going to happen if
(38:39):
she doesn't come through in this Olympics. I just want
to hear your thoughts on that.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well. I don't know if you now would I want
to talk about that to her? If I was going
to do a profile, I would. I think you got
to be careful with that. It's like a golfer who
has the yips. They don't want to talk about it,
but it is his story. And that's where it's a
delicate kind of tricky balance there of asking a question
(39:05):
that you don't want to linger in the athlete's head,
even though the audience wants to know really what happened,
because it's not like people followed Simone Biles's career after
the Olympics the way they were doing it during the Olympics,
and it was a moment that like, you couldn't believe
what you were seeing, greatest gymnast in history, and she
(39:29):
can't do a certain dismount and it's in her head.
You want to ask the question so we can kind
of think about that when you're performing at your best now.
You just don't want her to think back to what
she was going through.
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Yeah, seen, Well one, I think it's odd to want
to criticize her going into the Olympics for something that
she hasn't done yet, right, Like, why isn't she getting
more criticism heading into this Olympics? Well, why would she?
She hasn't done anything wrong, And not that she didn't
do anything wrong in the last one, but I think
there's a huge difference between Simone Biles and what she
(40:05):
was struggling with versus say, Chuck Nablock can't get the
ball from second over to first. When Chuck Nablock does that,
it's an error. Simone Biles. If she can't flip the
right way, she breaks her neck, she breaks her back.
She you know, it's like a catastrophic injury. That's a
little different than Charles Barkley can't swing a golf club anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Well, I think Seawn misspoke. It's not about where's the
criticism as more as where are the questions that leading
up to this about that moment? Yeah, once again it's
the Olympics are feel good, talk positive, especially the gymnast
and you know those are big ratings draw But people
(40:46):
will think about that with Simone Biles. I will when
I'm watching her. I hadn't thought about it in years,
but I will now. And maybe it's one of those
where they do a flashback of a dismount that she
pulls off this time around to what you know didn't
happen four years ago. But I do think, you know,
those are legitimate storylines, questions, not criticism, because like we
(41:13):
can't process it like the yips until you have the
yips and then you go, okay, oh that's that's what
it feels like. But yeah, I do think that those
are questions that I would love to have her reflect
back and how she grew from that.
