Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
How are your brackets? Yes, you can ask that in public.
Nice brackets. It's hour two on the program. Paul, he's
out today, Dylan's in his chair. It's a meat Friday.
We have general sALS, chicken, beef and broccoli, pork, fried rice,
beef low maine. Who has it better than we do? No,
(00:28):
especially Fritzie. This is a dream menu.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
The Chinese food.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Let's go. At the end of this hour, it'll be
rhyme time. Do you want to give the audience just
a sample so they can look forward to this and
you know, plan their morning accordingly. We can totally do that, Okay.
Do you have one? Yeah? I do?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Okay, how about raftery foot deformities. Raftery foot deformities.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Bill, What is raftery like to say?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Onions?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And what would be a foot deformative onions, onions, bunyons.
That's how the game works, deformatives onions, bunyans.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Okay, there's more of that. More of that Radio Gold
coming up a little bit later on this hour. All right,
eight seven seven three DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show. We'll recap some of the
action that took place yesterday and last night, also later
(01:30):
on today and tonight a full slate of basketball. And
I said, I would be fine if the NCAA selection
committee had a sense of humor where you are setting
up certain matchups. And I singled out if Arkansas beat
Kansas and Saint John's was going to be their next opponent,
they had omaha, they would meet in the next round,
(01:52):
So you would have John Caliperry and Rick Pattino, no
love lost between those two coaches. Well, that's exactly what happened.
And I go back to and people have criticized that
opinion by saying, you know, there's integrity attached to this.
There is, or supposed to be. But it's entertainment. This
is a TV show. We say it all the time.
(02:14):
It's a TV show. And you can get these matchups.
Why wouldn't you. Now you might say, are they manipulating
the seating? Maybe, but you're gonna have Arkansas play Rick
Bettino and Saint John's And I think that's good for
TV and good for the tournament seaton. What's pole question
for hour two? Let's recap hour one as well.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Yeah, our one we had up there, coolest college basketball
team ever right now, Michigan's Fab five is about forty
percent of the vote, followed by thirty three percent with UNLV.
That nineties UNLV run Ficelamajama doing respectfully, and nobody have
much love for you in Georgetown, which is disappointing.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, they were. It was Hoya Paranoia, which was a
great nickname as well. I'm shocked that people haven't given
them more love because that was one of those you're
buying gear for a school you didn't go to, and
I just don't remember anybody else doing that before. You
(03:18):
would see that all over the country. You would have,
you know, guys who would have Georgetown gear on. I
don't remember that being the case with UNLV, although the
Running Rebels were an interesting team. FI slam a Jama
as well. It felt like when it came to merchandise,
Georgetown was ahead of the game with everybody else. The
Fab five they became, you know, a cultural phenomenon as well.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, seen it was specifically too, at least for me,
like the Starter brand right and Starter jackets. Everybody had
a Starter jacket I had in Miami one I thought
it was awesome. A lot of Notre Dame, a ton
of Georgetown jackets.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It really was.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
There's something about that specific jacket that really caught up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Is the Starter jacket still available? Are they still doing
this for schools?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Maartn So they just re released a bunch of biggie
Starter jackets. I think Carl Banks run Starter now, the
former New York Giants linebacker. And so Providence got one,
Yukon's got one. Seaton Hall, they just did a whole
thing in New York City, I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Okay, so Starter is back, Yeah, but I just remember Georgetown.
That was a that was a cultural that that was
something that was nationwide, and that's I think really the
test of it is, are there kids in other cities,
other states who are wearing your gear? H felt like
(04:43):
the Raiders were out in front of a lot of people,
you know, the cowboys were you know, you were getting
gear for Christmas, whether no matter where you lived, you
were like, no, I want Cowboy gear, Steeler gear, Packer gear,
Niner gear. And then it felt like Georgetown was the
first to capitalize on that. Chris Weber will join us
coming up a little bit in the Hall of Famer
(05:05):
and one of the members of the Fab five, and
Paul Skien's the Pirates pitcher, the nationally Rookie of the
Year will stop by Yes, Marvin Oh No, Chris Webber
first team all in al you think so.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Nike owes him some money, Starter owes him some money.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Everybody on the Fab five true as a collective, Yes, yes,
Can they get any money back? Can they? I don't
know if they're asking for that. It felt like there's
a there's like a window of opportunity for former athletes
to ask for money that maybe the school made off
of them or a sponsor made off of them. I
(05:48):
don't know if the Michigan players have said, you know that.
We've had Jalen Rose on and he's talked about how
much money they made for Michigan and Nike and once
a piece of that wonder with that number is yeah, Mark, they.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Should get a piece of every single pair of black
Nike socks that are sold at Nike because I was
wearing Church socks to my fifth grade rec league game
because they didn't have black socks like black athletic socks.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, but hold on here, Michael Jordan's the reason why
the Fab five gets a lot of credit for wearing
baggy shorts. Jordan did that. They also had black shoes.
They had black socks. Jordan did that. They didn't create this.
Jordan did black socks. Yes, we may have a disagreement
(06:41):
right here. Wait, Jordan never wore black socks.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I think he wore them later. But black socks and
black shoes, I think in the Fat five documentary, Chris
Weber and Jailer was like, they talk about we want
shorts like Michael Jordan, but baggyar So they give Michael
Jordan credit on the long shorts.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Baggy shorts were terrible, like the long ones, they looked stupid.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Well, they got they got to a point. The Fab
five era of baggy shorts was fine. It got to
a whole other like the Mike Bibby era of basketball
where they the shorts went down to your ankles.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That was crazy. I don't know why Mike.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I think Mike Bibby was in that timeframe, but there
was a point in time where it was stupid.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, when it went over your knees and they were
like capri pants, you know, that was terrible.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yes, Dylan, there's that like iconic picture of the guy
on Saint Bonaventure, I think Marcus Green where they're actually
touching his shoes almost. They're like, you know, like Dicky's,
like the oversized Dickies shorts.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They're literally longer than those. It's terrible. It was terrible.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I had to wear the short shorts when I was playing,
not like ewing short shorts, but still I had. You know,
we had some short shorts, and I didn't mind it
because you know, the ladies probably came out for that,
didn't they. No, they did not. No, I weighed one
(08:13):
hundred and forty eight pounds when I was six y three.
You didn't want to see that, Not that you want
to see it now, but you didn't want to see
it back then. Nobody wanted to see it back then.
All right, So the pole question for hour two is
going to be watched Seeden. Yeah, we're putting up there
right now.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
You root for upsets all the time, the top teams
to make the final four, or your bracket. Paul sent
that one in from the road as a matter of fact.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Hmmm, okay, yeah, I don't care about my brackets. I
just want to see entertainment. I think that's, you know,
the fun part. I just got a response. I was curious.
We had a caller who said, why is Michigan State
playing a late game tonight? Late on the coast seating
(09:01):
has nothing to do with game times in their tournament.
Game times, which are proposed by CBS and Turner then
approved by the NCAA, depend on the game time site.
Western sites typically will start later the geographic home of
the teams playing on each day, So hopefully that helps
(09:24):
you understand maybe why Michigan State's going to be playing
at ten o'clock East Coast time tonight. Todd already has
his limerick. We had somebody who's getting married, I think
sometime this afternoon, and he wanted to know if he
could drop in a reference here. Let's see, he's a
(09:47):
see a Packer fan, his wife's a Viking fan or
vice versa. But he is getting married and want to
know if Fritzy could help out with that. So Todd
has left the room.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, he's on the phone working out a guest situation.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh okay, he's all business, that guy. Well, he has
to be with Paul not here today.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You know it's possible, given how much he's been talking
about it too, and how much work he's put in
behind the scenes. That might be about the Chinese food
order as well. It might have nothing to do with
the guests.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh oh okay. Tonight, Oregon and Arizona, two top Western teams,
had the final slots in Seattle and the late time finishes.
Kentucky and Florida play in the early evening slot. Michigan
State and Yukon headline the late evening slot. Not always
easy to figure. There's a lot of data that goes
(10:37):
into it. It's also why game times for the second
round are dependent on most or all of the outcomes
from the first round. No, if that helps you behind
the scenes with some of this information, I'm sure tom
Izzo does it like this where you're asking your team,
you know you want to stay in a routine. Now
(10:59):
you're going to play three hours later than what you
normally play on the West Coast. I also saw this
story about Dion Sanders on the Big twelve media day
and he was asked about Shador Sanders and the coach
who reportedly a quarterbacks coach who called out his son,
(11:20):
called him brash and arrogant, and Dion says that he
knows who this coach is, but he said, don't make
me pull behind the curtain. He says, I'm trying to
do my best to keep it on the high road,
but I don't know the address. Josina Anderson NFL Insider
(11:40):
reported back on March third that the negative comments about
Dion Sun had been made by a QB coach from
a team with a top seven draft pick. So that
means the Titans, Browns, Giants, Patriots, Jags, Raiders, and Jets.
They all hold top seven picks. According to Josina Anderson,
(12:01):
the coach made his assessment known to a number of people,
and the coach seemed to have an issue with the
culture of athletes who have broad fame and financial success
before coming into the draft. So Dion knows who the
coach is, and I'm going to guess we'll make sure
(12:23):
that his son doesn't go there. But if the quarterback
coach thinks you're brash and arrogant, they're probably not going
to take you. And Dion originally responded to reports that
he shared quotes from other people here. Matthew Berry of
NBC Sports reported that two people on separate teams who
(12:45):
had both met with Shardor Sanders during the combine, said
the quarterback came off as unprofessional and disinterested. But then
you have somebody else who says Shudor Sanders came off
as confident and engaging. I just think this comes down
to Shador Sanders probably went in to do the interview.
(13:08):
I have to do the interview. I'm not interested in
the interview. I'm not interested in this team, but I'm
going to show up and maybe that's the fallout from this.
But if you don't like him, I'm just surprised that
anybody would say anything after the fact that it just
felt like, Okay, that kid was arrogant and brash, and
(13:30):
I'm gonna let some people know about that instead of
just saying, you know, internally, we're not interested in him.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yes, isn't that kind of what this time of year
is though? Yes, anonymous sources talking trash about sometimes one
specific person, sometimes a bunch.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yes, I agree. Yeah, it's unfortunate though, because I mean,
I wish Dion would just call him out. If you're
gonna whisper, now Dion's whispering, you guys, just say you
know what, I'll put my name behind it because it
feels like you wanted this to inflict some damage on
(14:08):
Shudor Sanders and Dion's not taking it, not going to
stand for it. Dave and Ohio, Hi Dave, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Hey morning, DP, Happy Friday, and I'm so happy Fritzy's back.
So I could say this five to nine and ozepek
free horned sixty five. Okay, I just wanted to as
a tooth head stuck in bucket land here, I just
want to get props to the Badgers and great Guard
(14:38):
who lost their two best players to Kansas and Louisville
but got John Todd Jay and along with all those
great six year seniors are still playing.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well. Congratulations. Wisconsin's a fun team. This is a different
kind of Wisconsin team than we're used to seeing. Todd,
you have your limerick for the guy who's getting married
in a few hours, All right, well, why why don't
you give it to him so he can put it
down in writing for his vowels. And this is Todd's
limerick for Andrew in Missouri who's getting married in a
(15:13):
couple hours and going to use this during his vowels.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So beautiful and purple cut her slack, but marrying a
Vikings fan is whack. She really starts my motor while
she pulls for Minnesota. I love you so much, but go.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Pack, so you rhymed motor with Minnesota Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
She really starts my motor while she pulls for Minnesota.
I love you so much, but go pack.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
All right, all right, and we'll see if Andrew wants
to use that in his wedding vows. Later on today
we'll take a break. See Webb Hall of Famer will
join us. We're back after this and the Dan Patrick Show.

We'll hear from Chris Weber coming up here in a moment.
Zach and Knoxville joins us. Now, Hi, Zach, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (17:08):
ADP, thanks for taking my call. I wanted to get
back on track with what callers should be doing and
not singing and suggesting nicknames and possible t shirt ideas.
Dylan Dylan has a very Stephen Wright delivery, so maybe
we could call him the guy in the back instead
of the guy on the couch and have a little
(17:29):
T shirt idea with that, and you know, you walk by,
you have a nice three team parlay and you're like, hey,
guy in the back, what do you think of this?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, Okay, I don't know if you want Dylan's gambling advice.
I'm just going to put that out there, Zach. He's
entertaining when he gives you his gambling advice. He's just
not very good.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Dylan would love to not have Dylan's gambling Okay, yesterday,
Yesterday was a rough day, Dan.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I'm sure today is going to be a rough day
as well. And I've had friends who say, is Dylan
trying to be bad at picking games? And they said, no,
you do give it great thought.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
I do, and then sometimes I get my wires crossed
and all of a sudden, I'm like, that's a lot
of red.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
He's Chris Webber, Hall of Famer, five time All Star,
former number one overall picked by the Magic back in
nineteen ninety three. See Webb joining us who came up
with the idea for the Black Socks with Michigan. Do
you remember I do?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I do? Ray Jackson?
Speaker 11 (18:30):
I had to interview him for my book, Shameless Plug,
but I had forgotten. So we were playing in Texas.
We're playing against Rice University, and you know then when
you play with your teammates, whenever you have a teammate
that's from somewhere, when you go to their home, you
want to show out. And so we knew we were
going to want to play well for Ray and Jimmy.
And Ray though he wanted to transfer, and Ray had
(18:55):
been talking about transferring to me for the whole summer.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
For the whole year.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
He felt that he was kind of left out that
he was escapego the coach. He was kind of tired
of coach staying on him for a long time. So
he and his friends decided to go to the mall.
He bought a few different colored pair of socks and
he was gonna wear them in protest. But he comes
to the room, and you know how it is with
your friends. He comes to the room, I'm sleep. He
(19:20):
comes back at Jawana's like what is this?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I love it.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
We're gonna wear those black socks. And Jalen's like, oh,
let's go to the mall. So Jaylen, Jimmy they ran
to the mall, brought me a pair of black socks,
and so raised frustration and protests turned into brothers saying, man's.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Shut up, we love you. We're all gonna wear the
black socks.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
And that's a whole nother story because we get in
trouble for wearing the black socks for not including the
rest of our teammates. So we have the black socks on,
we're excited. We have our sweatpants on. We usually don't
warm up with our sweatpants and warm ups, you know,
usually take them off in the shorts. We kept them
on and we all get in the starter circle and
(19:58):
coaches looking like what the hell you know, because it
was pretty obvious then. And then after the game coach
was fine, we went it. But after the game he
called me to the side and said, come on, man,
you know I was old. I'm the oldest of five kids.
And he was like, would you do that with with
you know, family members. He's like, no, we don't do
that here. Everybody has to wear black sox. So he
didn't understand how excited we were that really what he
(20:20):
was telling us is, yeah, y'all can wear them, but
everyone can wear them. But Ray Jackson was the Ray
Jackson was the start of that. He picked those socks.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
What about the baggy shorts. I know Jordan wore baggy shorts,
but you guys went bagg hear.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
Yeah, you know it was Illinois and UNLB have really
nice shorts Syracuse. You know, all the guys like Derrick
Coleman or Anderson Hunt. They would bring us their shorts
in the summer and give us a pair of shorts.
That was like gifting the guy a car to wear
some official, you know shorts.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Back then there was no.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
Fanatics and you know, no prammatic puss. You could just
give them things like that. And so really what it
was fun story. The day we get to get our uniforms,
we're all super excited. You know, that's a moment we
get to look at your uniform put it on. But
thanks to Chip Armor and Eric Riley and all of
the old heads, because they wanted just regular shorts and
(21:14):
we were searching for that extra two inches in the
cross in the scene. So we were able to trade
with upper classmen who didn't get it yet. And then
Coach eventually he and coach Dutcher of San Diego State.
Now he'll coach Dutcher eventually ordered us some longer shorts.
So we were just complaining the whole time about you know,
(21:35):
our shorts, you know the term. Then we didn't want
Stockton's and we didn't want to get catch a yeast infection.
That practice from a teammate to tight draws on. So
you know, Coach he was cool. We had some tough
practices for it. That's how we got to earn black
socks and everything. You have to have tough practices, but
we earned it. And Als well, we.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Were talking about the great nickname she had fab five
Fi Slama Jam and was great Hooya paranoia. Don't know
if there's a Running Rebels. Don't know if there are
any other team nickname that kind of belongs to that group.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Man, that's good.
Speaker 11 (22:11):
I wish I had a time to think about that one,
because that's gonna be on my mind. I really loved
the Running Rebels. I mean to me, it said at all.
Even they're Moniker with kind of the Yosemite Sam type character.
You know, I'm in I think them in Oklahoma got
to carry a gun around then at those times. But yeah,
I don't you know, I've always said the greatest personal
(22:33):
nickname to me is the great one and and then
you can go from there. But for the teams, I
think it have to be maybe running rebels.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Back there?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Were you aware of Georgetown with you wing?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Are you serious? Yes?
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Back home, man, I'm a Jew, I'm a big sports fan,
so yeah, and you gotta remember this well was really
smart and then talking to Sonny but Carol for my book,
he was a really good guy.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
But they u into our minds early.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
So when you talk about Georgetown, yes, do I love
John Thompson, Yes? Do I love Zoe and all the
big fellas they had Ewing and Man Tumble, Yes, But
what really started my love for them was the blue
and Great Nikes. It was the blue and gray Starter jacket.
And I don't think then really people remember what an
influenced Starter had in our kind of in our life
(23:24):
because you kind of got to be a pro before
you were a pro and wear what you wanted to
wear them. So yeah, for me it was it was
a really good time of fashion and where we won,
but it all started with which you could wear on
the street. And that's why I really loved Georgetown because
of how cool they were even before I got to
see them on the floor.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah. What I was meaning is growing up, you know,
because Ewing and Hoy you know, Hoya Paranoia was in
the eighties. And I'm just curious if you were old
enough to get gear, if you wanted to get gear
from Georgetown or there was some other school, because I
think he looked at Duke, didn't you If you didn't
go to Michigan, it was either Michigan State or Duke.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Yes, yes, and so Patrick you and is a little
older than me, and I didn't get Georgetown gear, but
you would always see all the cool guys in the
neighborhood wearing it. I remember his interview with my father,
you know, telling me where Patrick Geary was from. And
I remember my mother telling me how smart you had
to be to go at Georgetown. So I really remember
(24:25):
those conversations more so than watching Pat play. But coach
Carrill rest in Peace, who was a close close mentor
in mine when I got into pros, I heard so
many great stories about that Princeton Georgetown game, but those
were much later, So no, I didn't really get to
see that because I was going to Duke. I was
going to Michigan State to be like Steve Smith. Going
(24:45):
to Duke to play with Grant Hill, or you know,
luckily went to Michigan to play with Juwan Jay Lauren Jim.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The toughest guy you ever faced in college.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
Christian Ladner is the best, one of the best college
players of all time. I think of great college players,
I think of Kareem Walton. Of course, there are a
lot of brothers that are mixed in that have one
or two great years, but uh, it was it was
by far, by far Christian Layner for me, because sorry
(25:25):
Christian Layner, and big Dug Robinson, because those two Glenn Robinson,
those two were the first big guys that could put
it on the floor, that could dribble, that could pump fake,
that could get you in foul trouble, that played outside
the game. You know, when you look at the evolution
of the game, we grew up when big guys weren't
supposed to handle it, and so Laytoner being able to
shoot three's laton being able to just do all the
(25:46):
stuff that he did from a freshman all the way
to a senior, I would definitely say, in my time,
I think he was the toughest for me to play for,
play against.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Do you ever have a conversation with him about that
rivalry and you guys played against each other.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
No, no, no, but it's it's it's Overduke. It's it's
long overdue. We should have a beer over it, because
I think I told you this before. My best one
of my best college visits, if I had, you know,
eight or nine of them, was definitely at Duke and
Uh and late there was my host, so I was
very familiar with him when we played. That's why we
(26:22):
talked so much junk to each other.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
And you know he knew my admiration. But the more
admiration I have for you, the more to try to
kill you anyway. And I think that's the same with him.
But now we haven't talked about it, but you know,
it'd be fun, fun, fun to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It would be it would be a fun podcast where
it's just you two talking about that time. Because you
had Duke the establishment, you guys, you know, freshmen and
uh going toe to toe with them. Well, you probably
had people who liked you because they hate hated Duke
so much.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
They did.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
And also I had people that were mad at me
because I didn't hate Duke. I mean, I I hate
him because I wanted to beat him, but all of
the other talk and this that I didn't get into
it because I hated him enough just from basketball and
I went to visit there and I wanted to be
part of, you know, of that team. But you know,
Coach K is such a special guy. And you know,
(27:16):
when I think about and again keep saying in the
book By Guy's Grace, when I think about Coach K
coming to my house and recruiting me, he was in
enemy territory. Actually, my friends were screaming one O three
seventy three.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
One O three seventy three.
Speaker 11 (27:32):
That was the score that they lost against UNLV, And
people are outside chatting as while he's walking in my
house and all he does is turn around on the
court and of justice ring.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
And everybody's like, So, when I saw Coach K's toughness.
Speaker 11 (27:48):
You know, in the hood, and how he was and
you know, respectful comparis and all that, he's always been
one of my favorite coaches in the game as well.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Okay, wait a minute, your boys are outside Coach K's
walking into your house and they're mocking him of getting
blown out by thirty by UNLV.
Speaker 11 (28:03):
Yeah, man, I actually got to send this to you
because I interviewed my guys on the porch that he
walked in and they were saying it because my father
was like, don't tell anybody, you know, Coach K's coming,
and so the whole neighborhood, dude, And so he gets
out the car and they are just booming. But when
he walked back out, people are like, yeah, coach, you know,
you know, good job. So he earned our respect. But yeah,
(28:25):
coach Coach K was tough. It's not just it's not
just an act. You know, he's a he's a good guy,
in touch at heart, and so he's always had my respect.
He it is oll remind me a lot of each
other too, and I consider Coach is a very close friend.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Chris Weber, the Hall of Famer member of the Fab five,
more concerned about transfer Portal or ni L in the
future for the sport.
Speaker 11 (28:48):
Can you separate them? Can there be one out the other?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
You know, I'm you know, I'm very happy that.
Speaker 11 (28:58):
You know, anytime you're in the beginning of the new system,
it's gonna be terrible.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
The're gonna have to figure it out.
Speaker 11 (29:03):
So I can't wait until the playing field levels and
we figure it out. But I think coaches are getting
a taste of their medicine. You want to leave your
guys and coach and leave, well, some guys are gonna
leave you mentally late in the season when you decide that.
But also I hope that players start to understand that
the same love and passion should be there, but even
(29:26):
more than ever. You made a commitment now, and I've
talked to a lot of young players and I don't know,
I talked to a lot of young players, and we
are working through understanding that you're getting paid for this
commitment now.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
So you have no excuse.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
But you still need to come with the same energy
and inno sense of passion that you would have played with.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And how do you figure that out? I think some
guys are figuring out.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
I also think some players are looking mid season saying, well,
I'm averaging eight, I can go average ten here next
year here in a crazy, unsubstantiated situation, and then they
go into the transfer Portlando one picks them up, So
you know it's a it's a.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
It's a difficult time right now.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
And I think everyone from coaches players are all kind
of getting used to seeing like how is this gonna
gonna level out? But that needs to be more discussion
and hopefully more leveling of the playing field so everyone
can get comfortable.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, I'm wondering about that that if you get money
when you're in college, does that help you when you
go to the pros and get money because a lot
of times you go into the pros and you go
crazy because you haven't had this kind of money and
you buy stupid things. Did you do that?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (30:42):
Every every every everybody, everybody, Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody's done that.
And I thought it was sports until I talked to
a lot of my friends in VC and others and
I found out it's all people that do that. But
I definitely, uh, you know, it was one of those guys.
But you're going to do that, I think too with guys.
Let's take a guy like the Big Fella from Kansas Fixer.
(31:05):
He was he was at Michigan and I say this,
it was he's a really good guy and he plays
with passion. He's so hard he wanted to stay at
Michigan and he's going, I'm not playing pro now. I
(31:25):
think he's a pro. So I'm not having that conversation
he's a pro. He's a posy pro. But that was
the conversation, and the conversation asked to me, who was
someone had never been in that position, What would you do?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
You know?
Speaker 11 (31:37):
Because my thing was, you can stay here for legacy.
You've been in Michigan four years and having records and numbers.
Do you you know what that's like when you get
older to be able to come back to Michigan and say,
now you're a part of it.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
This is a wonderful university. And I think that.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
I think that that factor has been taking out of
the decision making because guys are saying, you know what,
I might not make the pose, I might not have
the luxury of getting a paycheck and buying something stupid.
I need to make as much as I can now
prepare for a professional career overseas or in coaching. So
I think guys are battling with a lot of different
decisions that really are they're struggling with that they don't
(32:12):
want to have. I was talking with Deon Sanders for
a show I'm doing, and he was telling me that
the parents were more of a problem with the portal
and with NIL than the students because the students haven't
lived life enough to kind of uh be that greedy
yet or order order to uh just not put team first.
(32:34):
And so again, I think it's a lot of different situations.
You know, guys are getting taxed off the ni L
and didn't know they were getting taxed, and parents for you.
So it's it's just so much going on that that
that hopefully again the dust yourselves.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
What's the craziest thing that you spent money on early?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
I mean, I've.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
You know, I was smarting the beginning because I wanted
to get my parents everything so and I had a
big family. But for me, I mean, you know, the
day you know, I got drafted, it was I have
a chapter in my book called Gators for Everybody. So gators,
you know, are a shoe. Now I look at this
so damn stupid, but gators are a shoe. And back
then it was big block gators and you know from
(33:21):
guys in the hood, the preachers, anybody had gators.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
And so what did I do.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
I went and bought gators for everyone in my neighborhood.
I mean, even if they didn't have a suit, Hey,
why don't you have some gators and take this? So
you know, oh man, I took friends to restaurants, you
know that we had never been to. So I got
a little across the street from me, Bookie rest in Peace. Uh,
just stupid stuff. You go to restaurants, you pork and
(33:46):
cockch and the hot sauce, and you say that guy here,
I'll give you five thousand dollars if you eat it,
and you're happy because you were gonna give them something anyway.
But you know your friends, you have to bust them up.
And so you know, I've done a lot more worse things,
I'm sure, and other areas of life.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
But I remember when I first got it was that.
Speaker 11 (34:02):
Oh one of the one of the most fun things
I did the probably was stupid.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
I went to a music place.
Speaker 11 (34:09):
I had a truck of white suburban when they first
came out, and I asked him to give me the
loudest sounds in the world, and the guy laughed, and
I immediately walked out and went down the street and
asked the guy for the loudest sounds.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
In the world.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
He was like, I could do that, and so I
took out every seat besides the front two seats.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I had sixteen twelve fourteen age.
Speaker 11 (34:28):
I'm crazy, And I used to just love driving down
the street making alarms go off, or breaking my window
in the back, and so I think that's pretty stupid to,
you know, put you know, fifty thousand dollars forty thousand
dollars worth of sounds in your truck and only one
person could fit in and you can't even put your luggagembler.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
It was a good time. So it was a good time.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, but here's your dad who worked factory for all
of those years. Did he ever say what are you doing?
Speaker 11 (34:53):
Yeah? You know, yeah, yeah, But the story timeline keep going.
I know, sure, I don't want to keep going.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Why do you bought him a Cadillac? Right?
Speaker 4 (35:02):
But that was the best thing.
Speaker 11 (35:03):
I told him Magic was coming to the house, and
I went to the and he loves Magic. I went
to the car dealership Cadillac, and people started cheering when
I went in because they knew my father had worked
for GM for you know, many many years, and I
bought him a Cadillac. I had to cut the grass
meticulously now, and you never got to play football on
my grass or anything. I drive the car on the
(35:23):
grass stand it. My father comes out at six and
us about seven in the morning, and that was one
of the more special moments of my life, getting yelled
at while throwing the keys to my father while he
was driving off, telling me to make sure I take
care of the grass.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
It was a pretty cool moment.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Always great. Thank you for storytelling time, Chris. We appreciate
your time as always.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
