Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our one on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I don't know if we're in a good mood, but
we're in a weird mood today, feisty mood. I would say,
morale is still on the uptick. But uh, interesting conversations
early this morning here. We'll get to those coming up
a little bit later on. Come on in, stay awhile
if you can.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner and our
radio affiliates around the country, we're up to four hundred
and ten cities that carried the program, The Big Unit.
Randy Johnson will join us on the program a little
bit later on Christopher Mad Dog Russo.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He will stop by as well.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Eight seven to seven three DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle at dp show play the day
poll question stat of the all of that forthcoming football
coming up tonight. Vikings at the Rams. Rams getting two
and a half here And as I said yesterday and
I was told by a sore over the weekend, this could.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Be a real tail tail game for.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The Rams moving forward. The Rams as we know them
will there be changes if they lose, will they be sellers?
Is there a chance Cooper Cup is traded? After that?
And I know that there was some chatter about maybe
Matthew Stafford being available. There was a story that came
out that maybe the Vikings were interested in him. I
think everybody has denied that, but I was told two
(01:28):
weeks ago, is Matthew Stafford going to be available if
the Rams are not in a race for the playoffs?
And then Cooper Cup, that name came up. And then
I talked to my source and I said, would they
trade them? Trade him to the forty nine ers? You know,
Tampa Bay lost Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, god went out
for the year. You got the Chargers, who could use
a weapon. I mean there's a variety of suitors out there,
(01:51):
the Steelers as well, but just some of the things.
So it's it's a standalone game. But there's a lot
more that could be attached to this depending on the outcome.
But the Vikings, they are favored by two and a
half in Los Angeles. Los Angeles has been the epicenter
of sports, certainly with Opening Night with the Lakers with
Bronning and his dad, and then you have what's going
(02:14):
on with the World Series on Friday night? You have
this Rutgers against USC football game coming up as well
this week Socibi.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Do you say Rutgers USC as a feature?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Host to coast, Yeah, yeah, coast Paul. It's a big
ten matcha Paul all An, a vintage. Yes, that's an
old school big ten MATCHA.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
One more juicy than you guys realize. I know, you
know you'll be a facetious.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Paul Is. I'm not Arlett Knight's Trojans.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
That's going to be something.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's tomorrow night. I don't know which one I'm going
to watch. World Series Suns Lakers, Rutgers USC. Yese, do
we want a guest on that game on Rutgers USC,
like somebody from Rutgers.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Somebody from the News Tribune covering the local New Brunswick
Gataway area.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Yeah, USC losers at the coliseum to the Scarlet Knights.
Things are gonna get very messy if they're not already.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You know you heard it here first all that, Thank
you God, captain. But you know my attention is going
to be tonight. What I'm going to watch is Yes, it's.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Funny too, because if your Rutgers going to USC. You're like, hell, yeah, man,
we're going to be in California for a couple of
days in LA. This rules your USC going to Rutgers.
You're like, we got to go to Piscataway.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, but this this will be at the Coliseu. It
will be. It will be to say it's not fair
when you yeah, what what is the line on that one?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
USC is favored by thirteen and a half? Okay, Now,
I know Rutgers football is better than it has been
in the path or they're a solid squad. But if
you're in southern California and you wake up in the
morning and you hear your team lost USC lost of Rutgers,
that is unrecoverable. Unrecoverable. It's a worry recoverable, yes, because
(03:58):
you would be three and five in mid October the
loss of Rutgers, which perception?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What does that mean? Though?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So you do you get embarrassed at home against Rutgers,
But what's the fallout that Lincoln Riley's on the clock?
I think he's on the clock, but you know he's
also on the payroll. They gotta give him a lot
of money to get rid of him. I don't from
what I was told that he's not on the hot seat,
and I was like, okay, you know he's an offensive
(04:28):
minded coach.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We all know that.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
But you know the game against the Scarlet Knights of
Rutgers coming cross country.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Lookout, Yes, Marvin Bigger, New.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
York, LA matchup, Rutgers versus USC or Yankees Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Fair question.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, Well let me ask Tom, because Todd brought up
USC Rutgers wow earlier today about that's a big game.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I'm excited about that game. I know my brother went there.
But the Scarlet Knights, that's Greg Ciano choppin. He may
do some chopping in LA and could surprise some folks
at USC. Everyone's talking about Rutgers basketball, and all of
a sudden, records football slides in and causes Lincoln Riley
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I don't know. Everybody is talking about that.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It's word on the street.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No no records is gonna be like in the Sweet
sixteen in basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well, okay, but I have other things to worry about.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I got the Spurs against the Mavericks coming up tonight,
and you know what that means. Victor Wembnyama against Klay Thompson.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
So I mean they're guarding each other, they're just playing
against each other in the same So.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Earlier this morning, about an hour ago, Paulie brought up
the game games that are coming up tonight, and Fritzy goes, yeah,
I'm looking forward to that matchup, Klay Thompson versus Victor Wembanyama,
and I go, They're not guarding each other. In fact,
do you think the ticket stub is going to have
Victor Wemby Victor Wembanyama against Clay Thompson tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
The graphics people should put that right.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, no, no, no, they would probably have Luca Lucas both
of them though, or Kyrie versus we I'm.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Disappointed you guys thought I met that they thought they'd
be guarding each other the West.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You made it seen like that's the game.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The reason why we're going to watch this game is
Victor wem ben Yama versus Klay Thompson, right.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Because them both are both gonna be on the court.
Clay is going to be now in a Maverick's uniform
for the first time. That's what I meant if I
said it to if I misspoke, but I think I
know a little bit more about the NBA than I
think that Wenby and Klay Thomps would be guarding one another.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
But that's okay, you guys gotta be.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You made it seem like that was the matchup, Like
the promo was going to be Victor wem Benyama versus
Klay Thompson. I was sitting and elbowing each other or
my wrong on Marvin? Is that how it was presented
this morning?
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I think it was because Fritzy goes Klay Thompson. He's
available tonight, right.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I was like, Yeah, it's been hurt a lot. I'm
glad he's going to be actually playing in Game one
for his new team.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, he's got a guard, Victor wen Benyama, so it's
going to be tough. I hope he's healthy.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Should probably find someone else to do that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So that's why we're kind of in a weird mood
today because well Todd for a couple of reasons there,
but Rutgers USC, I'm going to circle that one on
my calendar.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Took a peek at the baseball but you really want
to walk to this USC?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, stay on your phone. Lakers Sons, Lakers Sons as well.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Yeah, Sen, I'm glad that you brought this up because
it is our first poll question for the day. If
you were a graphic designer working for then tn T
that game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh I don't. I think you have to have your
best team on that one.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
If you were a graphic designer working for tn T,
who would you put on the poster for Spurs map
Victor Wembin Yama or or and rather not or but
and Luca Kyrie or Clay or Mark Cuban Cubes?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, Cubes, I'm I'm gonna guess Luca.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, PAULI just the iteam has a direct quote from Fritzy.
I said, you know one game to tune in tonight,
Spurs at Maps and Fritzy go yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
looking forward to Wembin Yama versus Klay Thompson as if that's.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The that was the that was the quote.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I still don't think that necessarily means that they're guarding
each other. That's a different phraseology to me, and that's
where I may be mistaken.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Okay, so tonight it's Vikings Rams. Well, I'm sorry, tonight
it's the MAVs versus the Spurs. Then you have Vikings Rams,
Syracusan Pitts and College Football World Series tomorrow and uh
to a tongue of Ioloa returns to practice with the
Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I have a question.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yes, I say, that's gonna be a fun game tonight,
Sam Donald versus Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Do you think that. I don't think one's gonna sack
the other one. They're gonna like, I'm just trying.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
To Sam Donald versus Matthew Stafford. One's not going to
tackle the other one on the field.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Okay, they both play off Klay Thompson and Victor Wembnyama
on the court at the same time. Yes, our Sam Donald.
Oh it don't looks for a little Matthew Stafford on
the field.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Just the wording.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I mean, one guarding the other.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That's what you do. You double down.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Used to take it quietly, and now all of a sudden,
I'm sticking up and it's a hey, it's an L.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Just take the L. I know, but you double down
and then you get a couple of l's in there.
You're l McPherson.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, Yes, I have the official Thursday Night football promo
from is that on Apple? Amazon Prime? Yes, the picture
is it's not Justin Jefferson, it's Sam Darnold and Matthew Staff.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, kind of like Klay Thompson and Victor Minyama.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But then I have a secondary one where it's Justin Jefferson,
who definitely won't be covered by Matthew Staff.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That exactly stat of the day brought to you by
Penni America, The Official Trading Cards of the Dan Patrick
Show eight seven seven to three DP show. Operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your phone calls. Let Express
Employment Professionals help you hire your next pro. Maybe they
could help me in this room. Forget about posting jobs,
sifting through resumes, interviews with unqualified applicants. Move up to
(10:00):
the pros. Expresspros dot com. Find the location nearest to
you expresspros dot Com. All right, see what do you
have for me?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Let's see we also have up there other than that
one which is going up right now. This is from
the t Dubs. Might as well keep the train rolling
if the product is bad. Would you still go see
a team played just because they're new in a new arena?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I have done that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I did that with the Pittsburgh Pirates when they moved
into their new stadium. I was in Pittsburgh, got tickets,
walked across the bridge because I wanted to see that
stadium and I loved it. The game wasn't good, but
the views of downtown Pittsburgh, everything they did with that,
they did it right in my opinion. So yeah, I
(10:45):
have done that before. Where i'd go see, you know,
I mean, I went to Cowboys Stadium. I wanted to see,
is this what we're headed? You know, the direction we're
headed into with stadiums and jumbo trons and everything that
bells in whistles, and hopefully we're not. But what the
Clippers did with their new arena is it would be
(11:08):
It'll take away from I think how bad the team
is going to be. I think the experience that's there
and the opposing players, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were
talking about it that this is a true home court advantage,
something they had never seen before. And the Clippers did
lose a close game to the Phoenix Suns. Here's Kevin
Durant and the question to Kevin Durant and his answer.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
I think much it liked to play in this building incredible.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
I loved it last. I absolutely love the water. They guys, yeah,
it's insane, I know in the playoffs, and you know,
once people get more and more comfortable with the arena,
it's going to be insane here. So I always love
when new venues go up in our league. Is always cool,
always says the standard for what they come down the line,
you know. So Steve is doing a great job as franchise.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Kevin Durant a few there talking about the Clippers and
Steve Balmer. Twelve of his twenty five points came in
the fourth quarter, went into overtime. James Harden is the
only thing to see so far with the Clippers, says
he had a pretty good night. He had twenty nine,
twelve rebounds and eight assists. But you know, the wall
is what they talk about, and there's certain requirements of
(12:22):
being there on the wall there. But it is a
two billion dollar arena, which is nothing to Steve Balmer,
and he's really kind of set the standard here. If
you're building an arena, it's like when Camden Yards opened.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Up and you're like, goly is that awesome? It was new,
but it was old.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It had retro You had the warehouse there, the fences
were you know, six feet high. It was downtown revitalization
on the waterfront there.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
They did a great job with that. It's weird how we're.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Trying to get you know, it's modern, but you want
old school like Fenway and Wrigley. I'm you know, thrilled
that they're still kept those buildings because Yankee Stadium got
torn down Old Yankee Stadium to basically replicate old Yankee
Stadium a few blocks away. But I love the fact
(13:16):
that they kept it with that feel of old you know.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And I had gone to Metropolitan Stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I was there for the last game the Orioles played,
and that was a terrible ballpark. Great players, great franchise,
but that was not a good, you know ballpark. But
Camden Yards, that was kind of like ushering in the Hey,
if you're going to build a stadium, this is what
you need to do. And that might be the case
with what the Clippers have done with you know, the
into It Dome. Also, if you miss back to back
(13:47):
free throws, everybody gets Chick fil a sandwiches there. So
Durant shoots eighty eight from the line, he misses two
free throws and people are going crazy and he's like, wait,
what's going on here? And then he realized he missed
back to back free throws. Everybody got Chick fil a sandwiches, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, And the wall has a lot of restrictions. I'm
looking at the official Clippers website. You know, the typical
no profanity. But you get to enter the stadium a
little earlier the normal fans, and they funnel you into
the wall area. It's like a fan zone. But you've
got to be a fan of the Clippers. If you
are seen wearing any other NBA team's gear, you can't
go into the wall. Things like that. You have to
be an all pro Clipper gear.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, but how does that work? If I have a ticket,
I go in and I have a son's jersey.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
On, they have a wallguard.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I know, but I got that's my ticket. They're not.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
They will physically not let you into the wall area.
Even if you have a ticket for the wall but
you're wearing opposing team's merchandise. It's on the ticket where
that you buy.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Feels like a Yeah, I'm not saying this about you,
but if you are a Suns fan and you buy
a ticket in the.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Wall, knowing that that's what that is. You're a massive loser.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Fair and it says that in the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No, you are a say that you know language.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Go in there and be a gigantic loser. Fifty one
uninterrupted rows of seats. The first thirteen rows are filled
with Clipper fans, diehard fans. They vetted them by the
franchise beforehand to get those seats. And the first thirteen
rows are expected to stand and chant for the entire game.
(15:23):
So that's your atmosphere. And Devin Booker and Kevin Durant
talked about a collegiate like atmosphere that it felt like
and that's what you want. There are a lot of times,
you know where I've gone to arenas and they have
something on the jumbo tron to make you clap or
make you cheer, or they'll be music constantly.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, everybody cut.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Their hands, don't tell me what to do.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yes, but that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
And you never have to do that at college basketball,
Like at Duke, you could never think that they would going,
come on, get on your feed. It'd be like we're
on our feet, we never sit down. Yeah, there are
that whole idea of the wall.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
There's like soccer stadiums all over the world that have that,
Like Liverpool have the cop which is like at anfield,
very famous like fan area. They're usually located right behind
the goal. And yeah, it's like where like the supporter
sections said, I think Minnesota United they have one. There's
a lot of places that do that. It's super effective.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And the Premier League does have the diehard fans that
do have special access or they give them something extra,
like what the Clippers are doing is that.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like if you go in there,
if you're gonna go sit in the supporter section, then
you have to be a fan of the team. And
then they'll have a supporter section for the other team,
and they're usually separated and they usually have to go
in different entrances just so there's not any issues.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I think you know, you're trying to get people
to go to games because watching a game at home,
they've made it so good surround sound, the quality of
the TV. It's like, wait a minute, what were we doing?
What were we thinking? The TV experience is so good
that you don't want to go to a game or
(17:13):
you if you are given the choice. You might say,
you know what, I'm not going to fight the crowd,
you know, to go and have an experience. That's what
it's all about, going to a ballpark and that first time.
I think we all remember the first time you went
to a baseball game or a football game. That just
the smell of it, the you know, kind of the
feel of you know, being in this environment though, And
(17:35):
good for the Clippers. I don't think they're a good team.
You know, You've got Kawhi out for a while. That's
James Harden's team, and that's not necessarily a good team
thing because the West is loaded.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Phone calls coming up, and the fact Tua is probably
going to play against the Cardinals. We will come up
with an hour one poll question as well. Randy Johnson
little bit later on Mad Dog Russo stops by back
after this.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Poll question, Seaton, what's first hour here? Let me get
you some early results.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I did more in the audience that we were in
a weird mood today. I don't know why. I think
it was Todd. He kind of set the tone there.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
If you were a graphic designer works for TNT, who
would you put on the post of Reverspurs Maps tonight,
Victor wimban Yama and Luca Kyrie or Clay Right now,
I'm very disappointed to say that Clay only has five point.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
One percent of vote, Kyrie has four. Okay, it's Luca.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I just saw the official promo for TNT, so it's
Luca versus Victor Wembo.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Luca's got ninety one percent of that vote. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It'd be great if the game came down to this,
Klay Thompson from the corner with Victor going.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Out to try to block it of this game.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yes, yes, we remember what happened the last time these
two teams faced tonight Klay Thompson Victor Wembanyama Part two
and the Spurs.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Hold on on a huge block by Wemby, and.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
They're going to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
There's no time left in the game, but they're going
to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
This is the you you doubled down, You've doubled down.
They want to talk about it. They want to talk about.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
The game is over, they're going to talk about it.
Bell here's their last time out. Okay, Sirs on the clock.
It feels like people on the Vikings bandwagon as signed.
Aside from Vikings fans, they're kind of like Nashally are gone.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't know, still kind of a wait and see
lost to the Lions. Close game. Now you got the
Rams Rams at home. But then after that you see
you have Rams, Colts, Jags, Titans. Those are all winnable.
I mean, you could be what nine and one, ten
and one after that. I don't know if people still
be all in the Vikings because we still go I
(20:02):
don't know, like Harrison Smith is their recognizable defensive player.
You got Justin Jefferson, and you got a good coach,
and then you're not quite sure about Sam Darnold or
anything else with the Vikings. But they've been a good team,
solid team, and could pick up four wins. They could
(20:24):
be nine to one when this is all said and done.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yes, Paul, the Lions, by the way, their upcoming schedule
hosts the Titans, then Packers Texans. It does feel like
the Lions are the aiden Hutchinson injury if it wasn't there,
they'd be declared the favorites in the ANFC.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I think they still are. Yeah, I don't think anybody
is close to that.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Is everybody off San Francisco or off San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I'm off San Francisco because of the injuries here. I
don't know when Christian McCaffrey's coming back. And you know
Deebo always gets nicked up. Brandon Ayuk is out. I
am you know you kind of want Now you're saying
Brock Purty win games instead of you know, quarterback games,
managed games now win games, and you don't have those
(21:09):
weapons there.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yes, Mark, So the new game off or off? Off?
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Off means I can jump back on, But off off
means I'm gone for good?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, that is the policy. Off means temporarily off.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay, who is off off with the Niners this year?
What exactly does off off means?
Speaker 9 (21:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I need more? Does that? When do you are? When
are you allowed to get back on?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Next?
Speaker 11 (21:32):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
No? No?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, I'm off off? Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, and you're a brock pardy, I am apologies. I am.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Brock is gonna need to We're going to see what
he's made of this year. His healthiest wide receiver is
the guy who got shot in the chest.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
He's the healthy guy.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's the healthy guy.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
He got shot in the chest two months ago, and
he's the healthiest wide receiver they have.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I am off off. That'd be Ricky Piersov who got shot.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Correct when they're listening listing like injuries like dnp shot,
I mean he's healthy, he's playing. You know, he had
a catch show over the weekend and you know, hey,
you're being insensitive.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, we're just trying to be silly. Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Off off also means they are not making the postseason
in any way. You're declaring them.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Okay, hold on?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Oh yeah, and I'm still off off wow, Because if
you're off, it's like a temp.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
You're saying they're not threatening right now? What off off
means they are not a contender and not going to.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The Postason nine are apologist? Marvin? Are you off off?
Speaker 8 (22:35):
I'm a stick with my guys.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'm just off, okay.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
So off is essentially saying nothing. Off off is saying
something that is true.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
The only one that's really taking a stand on this one.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Off.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
If you're just off, it's like, well, yeah, I think
they're still going to make the playoffs, but right now
I'm just saying that they're not very good.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, yes, so you're really not saying anything.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
No, but if you say you're off off, then you
said a lot, right, So the game is really nothing
or off off. Yeah, but it's all off and then
off off. What you really could call it is are
you off or on? Now I'm off?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's too close to in or out.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
This is let's see what happens or they're done game.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's what I think, although you could say, are you
in on the Niners or out on the Niners?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Are we playing in or out? No?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Again, No, we can't do the only one time per week, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Off off or off. It's just like when you're in
high school. Does she like me? Or does she like me?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Like me?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
That's the same thing, the same. Like me means you
got a shot, like me? Like me means I'm in.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah I was. I was off off in high school often? Yeah,
too often?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Off off often? Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Were you at least in the friend zone and they
wanted nothing to do with you?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
No, it's friend zone? Yeah, friend zone.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But uh, I don't think I realized that I might
have been in and I I didn't reckon. I wouldn't
pick an up body language, you know what I mean? Yeah,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
So you had to go sign from the third base.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I might have you know, a three to zero pitch
swing away and you just checked your back.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, in every sense.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Of I'm trying to work. I'm trying to work the
count to mine. Yeah it didn't work out. Okay, let
me see anybody else that we can throw in the
off off?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
How about Miami Dolphins? Are you off or off? Off? Todd?
Speaker 6 (24:32):
I'm gonna go with just off because I originally looked
at their schedule and I don't know the exact teams
off the top of my head, but they've got several
winnable games with two enough that maybe they can win
nine games.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And then Satan, are you off off? Off? Off? Off?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Means they're not making the playoff? Yes, I feel like
it's a more statement about everybody else. I'm just gonna
say off, okay, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Off or off of?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I'm off off, all right.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Pawling, Oh, it's just off or off off?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, there's no middle ground there. I'm off off too far,
too deep?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna go off off. I'm gonna go off off.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
One more team, okay, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers off or off?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Off?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
God in that division, just off, okay, Seaton, I'm gonna
say off, all right, just off. I'm gonna go off.
I'm not off off.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Even though they got injuries wide receivers, I'll still say
off because that division, Aldie, Are you off or off off?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, you can't say it because of the division. You're
kind of forced even if you don't believe in them,
which means it's a single off. Okay, one more team, Yeah,
the Cincinnade Bengals at three and four, godd.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Just off borrow can get things rolling.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There' still a lot of times just off or off,
off off, not off off, okay, Seaton, off or.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Off off, I'm off off. Oh okay, Marvin, I'm off.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Paulie still shaking from the seat and ramifications. I'm just
gonna go off.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I'm going off.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just off for right now. That game was offful yeah.
Vince in Austin, Hey, Vince, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Are you off on this game or off off on
this game? No, I'm just I'm in me. That's not
an object.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
That's a different day.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Off right now, but borderline off off rushing with that, Yeah, Vince,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
Hey guys, good morning, six one two Off Dan, I've
got a bone to pick with you so much. I
picked in my office. I've picked the night on the
Chiefs and the Lions to go to the Super Bowls
and one Rave reviews. I switched at the last minute.
(26:59):
Here you're you're lobbying and you picked the Rams. I'm
not joking, but I still followed you down that rabbit
hole and everybody's looking at me like, what the heck
was I thinking?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Because I picked the Lions to win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 12 (27:13):
Okay, I heard you.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
If you want to yell at me for picking the Jets,
because I was going to pick the Chiefs and then
PAULI goes, oh, come on, what were you going to
go with originally? And I go the Jets, I'll pick
the Jets. And I said, all right, I'll pick the Jets.
So peer pressure, I had the Lions winning the Super Bowl,
and uh, but I wanted it was going to take
Kansas City, but I took the Jets. Uh Jets off
(27:39):
or of off. Is anybody still believe in the j E.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
T S Jets Jets off off.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Off off Seaton Jets playoffs or bust? That's an off
off off?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay?
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Oh, three efforts? I got a three efforts, all right,
Marv effort, three effort M E S S Mass massive mass.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, that's an off off? Only are you off for off?
Speaker 4 (28:13):
For the story? I'm just off.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I'm gonna well, I'm gonna say I'm off because I
heard Davante Adams and he had this to say kind
of a pep talk with his teammates.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
I had reservations about speaking up too early and being
too vocal, too too early, but I felt like, you know,
you know, in my mind, I said that because I
need to. You know, we don't have time and I
gotta do whatever I gotta do to help to stay
move forward and lacking energy. I mean, that's a prerequisite
to be able to go out there and and have
a good year or have a good play or you
(28:48):
know whatever it is. So in my mind it was
something that I wouldn't have been able to sleep if
I didn't speak up on it. And you know, I
got a lot of good feedback, which it wasn't it was.
It wasn't a big robber out thing. It was just
more you know, to make bring awareness to it because
a lot of these guys in here haven't been anywhere
else where they've won and you know, have had that
urgency that it takes in order to be a good team.
So you know, this team being so talented on the
(29:10):
roster wise, it's just a waste to have everybody out
there and you know, to have a dead sideline like that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
All right, So that's DeVante.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Adams seems under control, measured and kind of a pep
talk what he gave with his team after they gave
another game away. Does he blame the media for the problems?
And is Pat McAfee part of the media, because I
don't know if Aaron should be going on Pat McAfee.
If McAfee's part of the media, therefore, he'd be part
(29:39):
of the enemy because the players have to stop listening
to the media.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I don't think former players like that ever consider themselves
part of the media.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Those are guys doing a show. Okay, well, I agree
McAfee is definitely doing his show. Yeah, I mean, I
don't look at him as a journalist, but he does
you know a great show.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yes, the Jets are at New England host the Texans
at the Cardinals host the Colts bye week.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Okay, you're saying there's a chance you should win.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
You got to win three or three or four?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yeah, there is a chance.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, let me take a break. More phone calls
coming up. Play of the Day right after this.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio wap, oh my God.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Of the day. This is the play of the day.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Jones Durant trying to get three, being guarded by.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Derek Jones Junior. I want to switch Coffee's got Durant
shot block at ten?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Durant try to drive the timer at six, spinning.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Into the lane double by Harden.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Durant gets the shot away and hits it. He's awesome,
he is, He's unstoppable. That's courtesy of ESPN. Kevin Durant
game time jumper went into overtime. The only active player
with a longer streak of scoring in double figures in
season openers is Lebron James. He's done it every single
(31:16):
season opener in his career. Durant has scored double figures
in all sixteen of his openers in which he played.

Go to rapid radios dot com sign up for sixty
percent off free shipping. Here's what was lost in the
Bron and Lebron debut. Is Lebron James. He is now
in his twenty second season. He's still considered, let's say,
top ten player in the game. Is that fair to say?
(32:00):
Even if you want to stretch it and it's top fifteen.
He's he's been in the league twenty two years. Vince Carter,
when he was in his last year last couple of years,
was not considered one of the top fifteen players of
the game. Maybe still you know, a highlight and he
became a three point shooter. Lebron is still a top fifteen,
(32:21):
if not top ten, player in the league. And I
think that got lost in the opening night. I mean
also JJ Reddick making his coaching debut. It became you know,
Lebron and Bronni and then they got the win JJ
Reddick's debut and then oh, by the way, Lebron continues
to do this at a very very high level. All right,
(32:44):
some phone calls here. We're also going to pick out
our NBA team this year. Now, this is just the
team that you're going to be rooting for. Like I mentioned,
the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets are two teams
that I'm going to be watching. You know, I had OKC,
I had the Cavalier years before that. You can't take
a favorite. It has to be somebody that you go, okay,
(33:06):
that's my team this year that I think they're going
to be entertaining, They're going to be better, maybe they
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
And yeh, can we have two? Yeah? I did. I
came up with Orlando and Houston. I took.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Are they off the board?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, no, you can take them if you want them.
It's not if I take them off the board, and
then you have to take somebody else. I mean, you
may like I watched Orlando last night. You know, Paolo.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Bancaro, the Wagners.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You know, watch that game a little bit of that
Rockets as well. So Setan, would you like to lead
us off? Who's your team's.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Well, I've already been pretty public about the Spurs being
my team.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
But I'm going to jump ahead to a different team
and then come back to the Spurs if they're still
available later.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Can I No, No, it's not that somebody takes them
and then they're off the board. Oh okay, yeah, like
I could take the Spurs and you could take this.
Can I take the Memphis Grizzlies. Yeah, sure, I'm gonna
take the Grizzlies. Okay, I think they're gonna be interesting.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Zach Edie watched a little bit. Well I don't know. Yeah, okay,
all right, that's your Rookie of the Year pick. That's
that's who I put on the poster first.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay, So when they play the Dallas Mavericks, it'll be
Zach Edie versus versus.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Okay, fair enough, Todd.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
I'm going with a team that had their top player sick,
another one fractured his hands, another one that's still out,
the New Orleans Pelicans.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
I am going to roll with them.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
All right, mar I could do a lot.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
Marvin, I don't know if I would consider them a
bad team. But can I pick the Sacramento king You
can pick anybody. I'm picking the Kings.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I mean they were a playoff team, they were the
nine seeds. They were a good team.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
It's like ten years in a row that one of
us was like, I think this year Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, I think they They were one of my
teams too, Cavs, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Kingdom, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
They're really really not good, but they have to eventually
get good with all these trafficks. I'll go to Detroit
Pistons to be much better.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yeah, it's a tough watch.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Like you at least want somebody that you can tune
in and go, I'm gonna watch this, like, you can't
go wrong with Victor wembin Yama. You can't because you
can't miss him and offensively, defensively, he's always going to impact.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
H Cunningham's not that guy though. Well I think he's a.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Good player, but he doesn't make me. There's no tune
in factor with him. Chris in Pennsylvania, Hi, Chris, what's on?
Speaker 15 (35:34):
Your mind today, Dan, I was watching not to take
you off track here, you guys never go off track.
But anyway, I was watching the two thousand and four
documentary last night on Netflix to the Red Sox. And
if you remember in the winter that you were featured
very primarily in this Netflix by the way, Oh, if
(35:55):
you remember they were trying to trade Garcia pair in
the off season first a Rod and you did an
interview with Malar and asked Malar who would he even
rather have? And it kind of caused the problem. So
I don't know if you could talk about better.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I remember it vaguely. Malara think's going to join us
next week so I can ask him. But I do
remember asking Malar about that, and I think he said
a Rod and that created a little bit. I haven't
seen the documentary, so I don't know what else is in.
I know that, you know, I was doing Sports Center
(36:34):
at the time. We were doing Sports Center at the
stadium during the playoffs, but have not heard anything about
the documentary.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Let's see Jesse in Louisiana. Hi, Jess, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (36:48):
Well?
Speaker 9 (36:48):
So, Dan, second time, long time six ' five A
couple things. What are your thoughts on Robert Salah joining
the Green Bayer coaching staff, as Matt Lafourda described as
a fluid rule.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I don't know if he was offered, like he's
on the payroll, but if I absolutely, I'd sign up
for that. Bring in Robert salin He's not a head coach,
said that not every great coordinator is going to be
a good coach, but he's available. I didn't know if
the Niners would bring him back, but bring him into
Green Bay absolutely, I'd have no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
What else, Jess.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Also, whatever happened to the wall of morale?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Well, we moved and I just thought, you know what,
maybe it's time that we moved on. And we were
mature and didn't have the wall of morale there. So
that's in the old man cave. We left everything behind.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
See, unfortunately people were only able to look at that
same el McPherson cover for ten years.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah. Yeah, and then we changed it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Having seen her in person when I think she was
twenty one, it wasn't fair like she is. And I
even said this to my wife, like she is the
most stunning person I ever met in my life, aside
from Jesse Palmer. But Elle is the most stunning woman
I've ever seen in person. I think she was twenty
(38:26):
one when she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit and it was.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I'm usually not at a loss for words that I
did an interview with her.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
We would always interview the Sports Illustrated cover woman Paulina Porzakova,
like you know, there were a few of them when
I was working in New York, and Elle came in
and I went, Ellelujah, yes boy, So what's it like
being that hot?
Speaker 5 (38:58):
You know?
Speaker 6 (38:58):
Chris Farley sl remember that time you were laying on
the beach you took that picture it And.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Then we went out to dinner with the SI people
and so we went to twenty one Club. I wasn't
married at the time. Dot dot down Mad Dog Russo
is gonna join us coming up
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's our one on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I don't know if we're in a good mood, but
we're in a weird mood today, feisty mood. I would say,
morale is still on the uptick. But uh, interesting conversations
early this morning here. We'll get to those coming up
a little bit later on. Come on in, stay awhile
if you can.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner and our
radio affiliates around the country, we're up to four hundred
and ten cities that carried the program, The Big Unit.
Randy Johnson will join us on the program a little
bit later on Christopher Mad Dog Russo.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He will stop by as well.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Eight seven to seven three DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle at dp show play the day
poll question stat of the all of that forthcoming football
coming up tonight. Vikings at the Rams. Rams getting two
and a half here And as I said yesterday and
I was told by a sore over the weekend, this could.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Be a real tail tail game for.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The Rams moving forward. The Rams as we know them
will there be changes if they lose, will they be sellers?
Is there a chance Cooper Cup is traded? After that?
And I know that there was some chatter about maybe
Matthew Stafford being available. There was a story that came
out that maybe the Vikings were interested in him. I
think everybody has denied that, but I was told two
(01:28):
weeks ago, is Matthew Stafford going to be available if
the Rams are not in a race for the playoffs?
And then Cooper Cup, that name came up. And then
I talked to my source and I said, would they
trade them? Trade him to the forty nine ers? You know,
Tampa Bay lost Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, god went out
for the year. You got the Chargers, who could use
a weapon. I mean there's a variety of suitors out there,
(01:51):
the Steelers as well, but just some of the things.
So it's it's a standalone game. But there's a lot
more that could be attached to this depending on the outcome.
But the Vikings, they are favored by two and a
half in Los Angeles. Los Angeles has been the epicenter
of sports, certainly with Opening Night with the Lakers with
Bronning and his dad, and then you have what's going
(02:14):
on with the World Series on Friday night? You have
this Rutgers against USC football game coming up as well
this week Socibi.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Do you say Rutgers USC as a feature?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Host to coast, Yeah, yeah, coast Paul. It's a big
ten matcha Paul all An, a vintage. Yes, that's an
old school big ten MATCHA.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
One more juicy than you guys realize. I know, you
know you'll be a facetious.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Paul Is. I'm not Arlett Knight's Trojans.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
That's going to be something.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's tomorrow night. I don't know which one I'm going
to watch. World Series Suns Lakers, Rutgers USC. Yese, do
we want a guest on that game on Rutgers USC,
like somebody from Rutgers.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Somebody from the News Tribune covering the local New Brunswick
Gataway area.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Yeah, USC losers at the coliseum to the Scarlet Knights.
Things are gonna get very messy if they're not already.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You know you heard it here first all that, Thank
you God, captain. But you know my attention is going
to be tonight. What I'm going to watch is Yes, it's.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Funny too, because if your Rutgers going to USC. You're like, hell, yeah, man,
we're going to be in California for a couple of
days in LA. This rules your USC going to Rutgers.
You're like, we got to go to Piscataway.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, but this this will be at the Coliseu. It
will be. It will be to say it's not fair
when you yeah, what what is the line on that one?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
USC is favored by thirteen and a half? Okay, Now,
I know Rutgers football is better than it has been
in the path or they're a solid squad. But if
you're in southern California and you wake up in the
morning and you hear your team lost USC lost of Rutgers,
that is unrecoverable. Unrecoverable. It's a worry recoverable, yes, because
(03:58):
you would be three and five in mid October the
loss of Rutgers, which perception?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What does that mean? Though?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So you do you get embarrassed at home against Rutgers,
But what's the fallout that Lincoln Riley's on the clock?
I think he's on the clock, but you know he's
also on the payroll. They gotta give him a lot
of money to get rid of him. I don't from
what I was told that he's not on the hot seat,
and I was like, okay, you know he's an offensive
(04:28):
minded coach.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We all know that.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
But you know the game against the Scarlet Knights of
Rutgers coming cross country.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Lookout, Yes, Marvin Bigger, New.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
York, LA matchup, Rutgers versus USC or Yankees Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Fair question.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, Well let me ask Tom, because Todd brought up
USC Rutgers wow earlier today about that's a big game.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I'm excited about that game. I know my brother went there.
But the Scarlet Knights, that's Greg Ciano choppin. He may
do some chopping in LA and could surprise some folks
at USC. Everyone's talking about Rutgers basketball, and all of
a sudden, records football slides in and causes Lincoln Riley
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I don't know. Everybody is talking about that.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It's word on the street.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No no records is gonna be like in the Sweet
sixteen in basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well, okay, but I have other things to worry about.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I got the Spurs against the Mavericks coming up tonight,
and you know what that means. Victor Wembnyama against Klay Thompson.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
So I mean they're guarding each other, they're just playing
against each other in the same So.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Earlier this morning, about an hour ago, Paulie brought up
the game games that are coming up tonight, and Fritzy goes, yeah,
I'm looking forward to that matchup, Klay Thompson versus Victor Wembanyama,
and I go, They're not guarding each other. In fact,
do you think the ticket stub is going to have
Victor Wemby Victor Wembanyama against Clay Thompson tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
The graphics people should put that right.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, no, no, no, they would probably have Luca Lucas both
of them though, or Kyrie versus we I'm.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Disappointed you guys thought I met that they thought they'd
be guarding each other the West.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You made it seen like that's the game.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The reason why we're going to watch this game is
Victor wem ben Yama versus Klay Thompson, right.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Because them both are both gonna be on the court.
Clay is going to be now in a Maverick's uniform
for the first time. That's what I meant if I
said it to if I misspoke, but I think I
know a little bit more about the NBA than I
think that Wenby and Klay Thomps would be guarding one another.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
But that's okay, you guys gotta be.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You made it seem like that was the matchup, Like
the promo was going to be Victor wem Benyama versus
Klay Thompson. I was sitting and elbowing each other or
my wrong on Marvin? Is that how it was presented
this morning?
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I think it was because Fritzy goes Klay Thompson. He's
available tonight, right.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I was like, Yeah, it's been hurt a lot. I'm
glad he's going to be actually playing in Game one
for his new team.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, he's got a guard, Victor wen Benyama, so it's
going to be tough. I hope he's healthy.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Should probably find someone else to do that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So that's why we're kind of in a weird mood
today because well Todd for a couple of reasons there,
but Rutgers USC, I'm going to circle that one on
my calendar.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Took a peek at the baseball but you really want
to walk to this USC?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, stay on your phone. Lakers Sons, Lakers Sons as well.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Yeah, Sen, I'm glad that you brought this up because
it is our first poll question for the day. If
you were a graphic designer working for then tn T
that game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh I don't. I think you have to have your
best team on that one.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
If you were a graphic designer working for tn T,
who would you put on the poster for Spurs map
Victor Wembin Yama or or and rather not or but
and Luca Kyrie or Clay or Mark Cuban Cubes?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, Cubes, I'm I'm gonna guess Luca.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, PAULI just the iteam has a direct quote from Fritzy.
I said, you know one game to tune in tonight,
Spurs at Maps and Fritzy go yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
looking forward to Wembin Yama versus Klay Thompson as if that's.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The that was the that was the quote.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I still don't think that necessarily means that they're guarding
each other. That's a different phraseology to me, and that's
where I may be mistaken.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Okay, so tonight it's Vikings Rams. Well, I'm sorry, tonight
it's the MAVs versus the Spurs. Then you have Vikings Rams,
Syracusan Pitts and College Football World Series tomorrow and uh
to a tongue of Ioloa returns to practice with the
Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I have a question.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yes, I say, that's gonna be a fun game tonight,
Sam Donald versus Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Do you think that. I don't think one's gonna sack
the other one. They're gonna like, I'm just trying.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
To Sam Donald versus Matthew Stafford. One's not going to
tackle the other one on the field.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Okay, they both play off Klay Thompson and Victor Wembnyama
on the court at the same time. Yes, our Sam Donald.
Oh it don't looks for a little Matthew Stafford on
the field.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Just the wording.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I mean, one guarding the other.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That's what you do. You double down.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Used to take it quietly, and now all of a sudden,
I'm sticking up and it's a hey, it's an L.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Just take the L. I know, but you double down
and then you get a couple of l's in there.
You're l McPherson.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, Yes, I have the official Thursday Night football promo
from is that on Apple? Amazon Prime? Yes, the picture
is it's not Justin Jefferson, it's Sam Darnold and Matthew Staff.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, kind of like Klay Thompson and Victor Minyama.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But then I have a secondary one where it's Justin Jefferson,
who definitely won't be covered by Matthew Staff.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That exactly stat of the day brought to you by
Penni America, The Official Trading Cards of the Dan Patrick
Show eight seven seven to three DP show. Operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your phone calls. Let Express
Employment Professionals help you hire your next pro. Maybe they
could help me in this room. Forget about posting jobs,
sifting through resumes, interviews with unqualified applicants. Move up to

the pros. Expresspros dot com. Find the location nearest to

have for me?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Let's see we also have up there other than that
one which is going up right now. This is from
the t Dubs. Might as well keep the train rolling
if the product is bad. Would you still go see
a team played just because they're new in a new arena?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I have done that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I did that with the Pittsburgh Pirates when they moved
into their new stadium. I was in Pittsburgh, got tickets,
walked across the bridge because I wanted to see that
stadium and I loved it. The game wasn't good, but
the views of downtown Pittsburgh, everything they did with that,
they did it right in my opinion. So yeah, I
(10:45):
have done that before. Where i'd go see, you know,
I mean, I went to Cowboys Stadium. I wanted to see,
is this what we're headed? You know, the direction we're
headed into with stadiums and jumbo trons and everything that
bells in whistles, and hopefully we're not. But what the
Clippers did with their new arena is it would be
(11:08):
It'll take away from I think how bad the team
is going to be. I think the experience that's there
and the opposing players, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were
talking about it that this is a true home court advantage,
something they had never seen before. And the Clippers did
lose a close game to the Phoenix Suns. Here's Kevin
Durant and the question to Kevin Durant and his answer.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
I think much it liked to play in this building incredible.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
I loved it last. I absolutely love the water. They guys, yeah,
it's insane, I know in the playoffs, and you know,
once people get more and more comfortable with the arena,
it's going to be insane here. So I always love
when new venues go up in our league. Is always cool,
always says the standard for what they come down the line,
you know. So Steve is doing a great job as franchise.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Kevin Durant a few there talking about the Clippers and
Steve Balmer. Twelve of his twenty five points came in
the fourth quarter, went into overtime. James Harden is the
only thing to see so far with the Clippers, says
he had a pretty good night. He had twenty nine,
twelve rebounds and eight assists. But you know, the wall
is what they talk about, and there's certain requirements of
(12:22):
being there on the wall there. But it is a
two billion dollar arena, which is nothing to Steve Balmer,
and he's really kind of set the standard here. If
you're building an arena, it's like when Camden Yards opened.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Up and you're like, goly is that awesome? It was new,
but it was old.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It had retro You had the warehouse there, the fences
were you know, six feet high. It was downtown revitalization
on the waterfront there.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
They did a great job with that. It's weird how we're.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Trying to get you know, it's modern, but you want
old school like Fenway and Wrigley. I'm you know, thrilled
that they're still kept those buildings because Yankee Stadium got
torn down Old Yankee Stadium to basically replicate old Yankee
Stadium a few blocks away. But I love the fact
(13:16):
that they kept it with that feel of old you know.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And I had gone to Metropolitan Stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I was there for the last game the Orioles played,
and that was a terrible ballpark. Great players, great franchise,
but that was not a good, you know ballpark. But
Camden Yards, that was kind of like ushering in the Hey,
if you're going to build a stadium, this is what
you need to do. And that might be the case
with what the Clippers have done with you know, the
into It Dome. Also, if you miss back to back
(13:47):
free throws, everybody gets Chick fil a sandwiches there. So
Durant shoots eighty eight from the line, he misses two
free throws and people are going crazy and he's like, wait,
what's going on here? And then he realized he missed
back to back free throws. Everybody got Chick fil a sandwiches, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, And the wall has a lot of restrictions. I'm
looking at the official Clippers website. You know, the typical
no profanity. But you get to enter the stadium a
little earlier the normal fans, and they funnel you into
the wall area. It's like a fan zone. But you've
got to be a fan of the Clippers. If you
are seen wearing any other NBA team's gear, you can't
go into the wall. Things like that. You have to
be an all pro Clipper gear.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, but how does that work? If I have a ticket,
I go in and I have a son's jersey.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
On, they have a wallguard.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I know, but I got that's my ticket. They're not.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
They will physically not let you into the wall area.
Even if you have a ticket for the wall but
you're wearing opposing team's merchandise. It's on the ticket where
that you buy.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Feels like a Yeah, I'm not saying this about you,
but if you are a Suns fan and you buy
a ticket in the.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Wall, knowing that that's what that is. You're a massive loser.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Fair and it says that in the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No, you are a say that you know language.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Go in there and be a gigantic loser. Fifty one
uninterrupted rows of seats. The first thirteen rows are filled
with Clipper fans, diehard fans. They vetted them by the
franchise beforehand to get those seats. And the first thirteen
rows are expected to stand and chant for the entire game.
(15:23):
So that's your atmosphere. And Devin Booker and Kevin Durant
talked about a collegiate like atmosphere that it felt like
and that's what you want. There are a lot of times,
you know where I've gone to arenas and they have
something on the jumbo tron to make you clap or
make you cheer, or they'll be music constantly.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, everybody cut.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Their hands, don't tell me what to do.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yes, but that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
And you never have to do that at college basketball,
Like at Duke, you could never think that they would going,
come on, get on your feed. It'd be like we're
on our feet, we never sit down. Yeah, there are
that whole idea of the wall.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
There's like soccer stadiums all over the world that have that,
Like Liverpool have the cop which is like at anfield,
very famous like fan area. They're usually located right behind
the goal. And yeah, it's like where like the supporter
sections said, I think Minnesota United they have one. There's
a lot of places that do that. It's super effective.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And the Premier League does have the diehard fans that
do have special access or they give them something extra,
like what the Clippers are doing is that.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like if you go in there,
if you're gonna go sit in the supporter section, then
you have to be a fan of the team. And
then they'll have a supporter section for the other team,
and they're usually separated and they usually have to go
in different entrances just so there's not any issues.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I think you know, you're trying to get people
to go to games because watching a game at home,
they've made it so good surround sound, the quality of
the TV. It's like, wait a minute, what were we doing?
What were we thinking? The TV experience is so good
that you don't want to go to a game or
(17:13):
you if you are given the choice. You might say,
you know what, I'm not going to fight the crowd,
you know, to go and have an experience. That's what
it's all about, going to a ballpark and that first time.
I think we all remember the first time you went
to a baseball game or a football game. That just
the smell of it, the you know, kind of the
feel of you know, being in this environment though, And
(17:35):
good for the Clippers. I don't think they're a good team.
You know, You've got Kawhi out for a while. That's
James Harden's team, and that's not necessarily a good team
thing because the West is loaded.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Phone calls coming up, and the fact Tua is probably
going to play against the Cardinals. We will come up
with an hour one poll question as well. Randy Johnson
little bit later on Mad Dog Russo stops by back
after this.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Poll question, Seaton, what's first hour here? Let me get
you some early results.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I did more in the audience that we were in
a weird mood today. I don't know why. I think
it was Todd. He kind of set the tone there.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
If you were a graphic designer works for TNT, who
would you put on the post of Reverspurs Maps tonight,
Victor wimban Yama and Luca Kyrie or Clay Right now,
I'm very disappointed to say that Clay only has five point.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
One percent of vote, Kyrie has four. Okay, it's Luca.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I just saw the official promo for TNT, so it's
Luca versus Victor Wembo.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Luca's got ninety one percent of that vote. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It'd be great if the game came down to this,
Klay Thompson from the corner with Victor going.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Out to try to block it of this game.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yes, yes, we remember what happened the last time these
two teams faced tonight Klay Thompson Victor Wembanyama Part two
and the Spurs.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Hold on on a huge block by Wemby, and.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
They're going to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
There's no time left in the game, but they're going
to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
This is the you you doubled down, You've doubled down.
They want to talk about it. They want to talk about.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
The game is over, they're going to talk about it.
Bell here's their last time out. Okay, Sirs on the clock.
It feels like people on the Vikings bandwagon as signed.
Aside from Vikings fans, they're kind of like Nashally are gone.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't know, still kind of a wait and see
lost to the Lions. Close game. Now you got the
Rams Rams at home. But then after that you see
you have Rams, Colts, Jags, Titans. Those are all winnable.
I mean, you could be what nine and one, ten
and one after that. I don't know if people still
be all in the Vikings because we still go I
(20:02):
don't know, like Harrison Smith is their recognizable defensive player.
You got Justin Jefferson, and you got a good coach,
and then you're not quite sure about Sam Darnold or
anything else with the Vikings. But they've been a good team,
solid team, and could pick up four wins. They could
(20:24):
be nine to one when this is all said and done.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yes, Paul, the Lions, by the way, their upcoming schedule
hosts the Titans, then Packers Texans. It does feel like
the Lions are the aiden Hutchinson injury if it wasn't there,
they'd be declared the favorites in the ANFC.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I think they still are. Yeah, I don't think anybody
is close to that.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Is everybody off San Francisco or off San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I'm off San Francisco because of the injuries here. I
don't know when Christian McCaffrey's coming back. And you know
Deebo always gets nicked up. Brandon Ayuk is out. I
am you know you kind of want Now you're saying
Brock Purty win games instead of you know, quarterback games,
managed games now win games, and you don't have those
(21:09):
weapons there.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yes, Mark, So the new game off or off? Off?
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Off means I can jump back on, But off off
means I'm gone for good?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, that is the policy. Off means temporarily off.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay, who is off off with the Niners this year?
What exactly does off off means?
Speaker 9 (21:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I need more? Does that? When do you are? When
are you allowed to get back on?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Next?
Speaker 11 (21:32):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
No? No?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, I'm off off? Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, and you're a brock pardy, I am apologies. I am.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Brock is gonna need to We're going to see what
he's made of this year. His healthiest wide receiver is
the guy who got shot in the chest.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
He's the healthy guy.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's the healthy guy.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
He got shot in the chest two months ago, and
he's the healthiest wide receiver they have.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I am off off. That'd be Ricky Piersov who got shot.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Correct when they're listening listing like injuries like dnp shot,
I mean he's healthy, he's playing. You know, he had
a catch show over the weekend and you know, hey,
you're being insensitive.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, we're just trying to be silly. Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Off off also means they are not making the postseason
in any way. You're declaring them.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Okay, hold on?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Oh yeah, and I'm still off off wow, Because if
you're off, it's like a temp.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
You're saying they're not threatening right now? What off off
means they are not a contender and not going to.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The Postason nine are apologist? Marvin? Are you off off?
Speaker 8 (22:35):
I'm a stick with my guys.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'm just off, okay.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
So off is essentially saying nothing. Off off is saying
something that is true.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
The only one that's really taking a stand on this one.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Off.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
If you're just off, it's like, well, yeah, I think
they're still going to make the playoffs, but right now
I'm just saying that they're not very good.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, yes, so you're really not saying anything.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
No, but if you say you're off off, then you
said a lot, right, So the game is really nothing
or off off. Yeah, but it's all off and then
off off. What you really could call it is are
you off or on? Now I'm off?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's too close to in or out.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
This is let's see what happens or they're done game.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's what I think, although you could say, are you
in on the Niners or out on the Niners?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Are we playing in or out? No?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Again, No, we can't do the only one time per week, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Off off or off. It's just like when you're in
high school. Does she like me? Or does she like me?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Like me?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
That's the same thing, the same. Like me means you
got a shot, like me? Like me means I'm in.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah I was. I was off off in high school often? Yeah,
too often?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Off off often? Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Were you at least in the friend zone and they
wanted nothing to do with you?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
No, it's friend zone? Yeah, friend zone.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But uh, I don't think I realized that I might
have been in and I I didn't reckon. I wouldn't
pick an up body language, you know what I mean? Yeah,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
So you had to go sign from the third base.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I might have you know, a three to zero pitch
swing away and you just checked your back.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, in every sense.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Of I'm trying to work. I'm trying to work the
count to mine. Yeah it didn't work out. Okay, let
me see anybody else that we can throw in the
off off?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
How about Miami Dolphins? Are you off or off? Off? Todd?
Speaker 6 (24:32):
I'm gonna go with just off because I originally looked
at their schedule and I don't know the exact teams
off the top of my head, but they've got several
winnable games with two enough that maybe they can win
nine games.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And then Satan, are you off off? Off? Off? Off?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Means they're not making the playoff? Yes, I feel like
it's a more statement about everybody else. I'm just gonna
say off, okay, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Off or off of?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I'm off off, all right.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Pawling, Oh, it's just off or off off?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, there's no middle ground there. I'm off off too far,
too deep?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna go off off. I'm gonna go off off.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
One more team, okay, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers off or off?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Off?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
God in that division, just off, okay, Seaton, I'm gonna
say off, all right, just off. I'm gonna go off.
I'm not off off.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Even though they got injuries wide receivers, I'll still say
off because that division, Aldie, Are you off or off off?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, you can't say it because of the division. You're
kind of forced even if you don't believe in them,
which means it's a single off. Okay, one more team, Yeah,
the Cincinnade Bengals at three and four, godd.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Just off borrow can get things rolling.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There' still a lot of times just off or off,
off off, not off off, okay, Seaton, off or.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Off off, I'm off off. Oh okay, Marvin, I'm off.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Paulie still shaking from the seat and ramifications. I'm just
gonna go off.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I'm going off.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just off for right now. That game was offful yeah.
Vince in Austin, Hey, Vince, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Are you off on this game or off off on
this game? No, I'm just I'm in me. That's not
an object.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
That's a different day.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Off right now, but borderline off off rushing with that, Yeah, Vince,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
Hey guys, good morning, six one two Off Dan, I've
got a bone to pick with you so much. I
picked in my office. I've picked the night on the
Chiefs and the Lions to go to the Super Bowls
and one Rave reviews. I switched at the last minute.
(26:59):
Here you're you're lobbying and you picked the Rams. I'm
not joking, but I still followed you down that rabbit
hole and everybody's looking at me like, what the heck
was I thinking?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Because I picked the Lions to win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 12 (27:13):
Okay, I heard you.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
If you want to yell at me for picking the Jets,
because I was going to pick the Chiefs and then
PAULI goes, oh, come on, what were you going to
go with originally? And I go the Jets, I'll pick
the Jets. And I said, all right, I'll pick the Jets.
So peer pressure, I had the Lions winning the Super Bowl,
and uh, but I wanted it was going to take
Kansas City, but I took the Jets. Uh Jets off
(27:39):
or of off. Is anybody still believe in the j E.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
T S Jets Jets off off.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Off off Seaton Jets playoffs or bust? That's an off
off off?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay?
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Oh, three efforts? I got a three efforts, all right,
Marv effort, three effort M E S S Mass massive mass.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, that's an off off? Only are you off for off?
Speaker 4 (28:13):
For the story? I'm just off.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I'm gonna well, I'm gonna say I'm off because I
heard Davante Adams and he had this to say kind
of a pep talk with his teammates.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
I had reservations about speaking up too early and being
too vocal, too too early, but I felt like, you know,
you know, in my mind, I said that because I
need to. You know, we don't have time and I
gotta do whatever I gotta do to help to stay
move forward and lacking energy. I mean, that's a prerequisite
to be able to go out there and and have
a good year or have a good play or you
(28:48):
know whatever it is. So in my mind it was
something that I wouldn't have been able to sleep if
I didn't speak up on it. And you know, I
got a lot of good feedback, which it wasn't it was.
It wasn't a big robber out thing. It was just
more you know, to make bring awareness to it because
a lot of these guys in here haven't been anywhere
else where they've won and you know, have had that
urgency that it takes in order to be a good team.
So you know, this team being so talented on the
(29:10):
roster wise, it's just a waste to have everybody out
there and you know, to have a dead sideline like that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
All right, So that's DeVante.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Adams seems under control, measured and kind of a pep
talk what he gave with his team after they gave
another game away. Does he blame the media for the problems?
And is Pat McAfee part of the media, because I
don't know if Aaron should be going on Pat McAfee.
If McAfee's part of the media, therefore, he'd be part
(29:39):
of the enemy because the players have to stop listening
to the media.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I don't think former players like that ever consider themselves
part of the media.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Those are guys doing a show. Okay, well, I agree
McAfee is definitely doing his show. Yeah, I mean, I
don't look at him as a journalist, but he does
you know a great show.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yes, the Jets are at New England host the Texans
at the Cardinals host the Colts bye week.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Okay, you're saying there's a chance you should win.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
You got to win three or three or four?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yeah, there is a chance.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, let me take a break. More phone calls
coming up. Play of the Day right after this.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio wap, oh my God.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Of the day. This is the play of the day.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Jones Durant trying to get three, being guarded by.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Derek Jones Junior. I want to switch Coffee's got Durant
shot block at ten?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Durant try to drive the timer at six, spinning.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Into the lane double by Harden.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Durant gets the shot away and hits it. He's awesome,
he is, He's unstoppable. That's courtesy of ESPN. Kevin Durant
game time jumper went into overtime. The only active player
with a longer streak of scoring in double figures in
season openers is Lebron James. He's done it every single
(31:16):
season opener in his career. Durant has scored double figures
in all sixteen of his openers in which he played.

Go to rapid radios dot com sign up for sixty

Bron and Lebron debut. Is Lebron James. He is now
in his twenty second season. He's still considered, let's say,
top ten player in the game. Is that fair to say?
(32:00):
Even if you want to stretch it and it's top fifteen.
He's he's been in the league twenty two years. Vince Carter,
when he was in his last year last couple of years,
was not considered one of the top fifteen players of
the game. Maybe still you know, a highlight and he
became a three point shooter. Lebron is still a top fifteen,
(32:21):
if not top ten, player in the league. And I
think that got lost in the opening night. I mean
also JJ Reddick making his coaching debut. It became you know,
Lebron and Bronni and then they got the win JJ
Reddick's debut and then oh, by the way, Lebron continues
to do this at a very very high level. All right,
(32:44):
some phone calls here. We're also going to pick out
our NBA team this year. Now, this is just the
team that you're going to be rooting for. Like I mentioned,
the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets are two teams
that I'm going to be watching. You know, I had OKC,
I had the Cavalier years before that. You can't take
a favorite. It has to be somebody that you go, okay,
(33:06):
that's my team this year that I think they're going
to be entertaining, They're going to be better, maybe they
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
And yeh, can we have two? Yeah? I did. I
came up with Orlando and Houston. I took.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Are they off the board?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, no, you can take them if you want them.
It's not if I take them off the board, and
then you have to take somebody else. I mean, you
may like I watched Orlando last night. You know, Paolo.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Bancaro, the Wagners.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You know, watch that game a little bit of that
Rockets as well. So Setan, would you like to lead
us off? Who's your team's.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Well, I've already been pretty public about the Spurs being
my team.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
But I'm going to jump ahead to a different team
and then come back to the Spurs if they're still
available later.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Can I No, No, it's not that somebody takes them
and then they're off the board. Oh okay, yeah, like
I could take the Spurs and you could take this.
Can I take the Memphis Grizzlies. Yeah, sure, I'm gonna
take the Grizzlies. Okay, I think they're gonna be interesting.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Zach Edie watched a little bit. Well I don't know. Yeah, okay,
all right, that's your Rookie of the Year pick. That's
that's who I put on the poster first.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay, So when they play the Dallas Mavericks, it'll be
Zach Edie versus versus.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Okay, fair enough, Todd.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
I'm going with a team that had their top player sick,
another one fractured his hands, another one that's still out,
the New Orleans Pelicans.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
I am going to roll with them.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
All right, mar I could do a lot.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
Marvin, I don't know if I would consider them a
bad team. But can I pick the Sacramento king You
can pick anybody. I'm picking the Kings.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I mean they were a playoff team, they were the
nine seeds. They were a good team.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
It's like ten years in a row that one of
us was like, I think this year Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, I think they They were one of my
teams too, Cavs, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Kingdom, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
They're really really not good, but they have to eventually
get good with all these trafficks. I'll go to Detroit
Pistons to be much better.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yeah, it's a tough watch.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Like you at least want somebody that you can tune
in and go, I'm gonna watch this, like, you can't
go wrong with Victor wembin Yama. You can't because you
can't miss him and offensively, defensively, he's always going to impact.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
H Cunningham's not that guy though. Well I think he's a.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Good player, but he doesn't make me. There's no tune
in factor with him. Chris in Pennsylvania, Hi, Chris, what's on?
Speaker 15 (35:34):
Your mind today, Dan, I was watching not to take
you off track here, you guys never go off track.
But anyway, I was watching the two thousand and four
documentary last night on Netflix to the Red Sox. And
if you remember in the winter that you were featured
very primarily in this Netflix by the way, Oh, if
(35:55):
you remember they were trying to trade Garcia pair in
the off season first a Rod and you did an
interview with Malar and asked Malar who would he even
rather have? And it kind of caused the problem. So
I don't know if you could talk about better.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I remember it vaguely. Malara think's going to join us
next week so I can ask him. But I do
remember asking Malar about that, and I think he said
a Rod and that created a little bit. I haven't
seen the documentary, so I don't know what else is in.
I know that, you know, I was doing Sports Center
(36:34):
at the time. We were doing Sports Center at the
stadium during the playoffs, but have not heard anything about
the documentary.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Let's see Jesse in Louisiana. Hi, Jess, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (36:48):
Well?
Speaker 9 (36:48):
So, Dan, second time, long time six ' five A
couple things. What are your thoughts on Robert Salah joining
the Green Bayer coaching staff, as Matt Lafourda described as
a fluid rule.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I don't know if he was offered, like he's
on the payroll, but if I absolutely, I'd sign up
for that. Bring in Robert salin He's not a head coach,
said that not every great coordinator is going to be
a good coach, but he's available. I didn't know if
the Niners would bring him back, but bring him into
Green Bay absolutely, I'd have no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
What else, Jess.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Also, whatever happened to the wall of morale?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Well, we moved and I just thought, you know what,
maybe it's time that we moved on. And we were
mature and didn't have the wall of morale there. So
that's in the old man cave. We left everything behind.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
See, unfortunately people were only able to look at that
same el McPherson cover for ten years.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah. Yeah, and then we changed it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Having seen her in person when I think she was
twenty one, it wasn't fair like she is. And I
even said this to my wife, like she is the
most stunning person I ever met in my life, aside
from Jesse Palmer. But Elle is the most stunning woman
I've ever seen in person. I think she was twenty
(38:26):
one when she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit and it was.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I'm usually not at a loss for words that I
did an interview with her.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
We would always interview the Sports Illustrated cover woman Paulina Porzakova,
like you know, there were a few of them when
I was working in New York, and Elle came in
and I went, Ellelujah, yes boy, So what's it like
being that hot?
Speaker 5 (38:58):
You know?
Speaker 6 (38:58):
Chris Farley sl remember that time you were laying on
the beach you took that picture it And.
Speaker 2 (39:04):

married at the time. Dot dot down Mad Dog Russo
