He'll join us.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We'll play Phill in the Blank and Jeff Passon covers
baseball for the Mothership on the rising ongoing controversy with
the Torpedo Bats. Elie Delacruz of the Reds had a
huge night last night with a couple of home runs
his first game with the Torpedo bat. Yukon and Texas
advanced to the Women's Final four, and the Pelicans officially
(00:52):
in tank mode. We have decided to come up with
tanking tops for some of these teams because CJ. McCollum
and z Ion Williamson will be sitting out the remainder
of the final seven games. Here eight seven seven three
DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
call seat and has a poll question and good morning
those watching on Peacock, also listening on our radio affiliates
(01:16):
including iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Poll question for hour two Seaton will be yeah, we
got up there right now.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Prediction today the brotherly shove will be made legal or illegal?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Fifty four percent of the audience think that's going to
be made illegal. Okay, we have a random one here
from Todd most impressive one hundred and fifty mile an
hour tennis serve one hundred and twenty mile an hour,
golf swing one hundred mile an hour fastball, or one
hundred mile an hour slap shot.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, how many people serve one hundred and fifty miles
an hour? How many swing of golf club one hundred
and twenty miles per hour? There seems to be a
lot of people throw a hundred miles an hour the
slap shot one hundred miles pre So I would be
curious how many people can do those individual achievements, because
(02:10):
that might tell you just how rare it is and
maybe how impressive it is.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yes, Paul, when I thought about those, what might be
more impressive is being on the other end of it,
being a catcher and dealing with one oh two and
being a goalkeeper. I didn't know a slap shot one
one hundred, and those guys are taking it off different
parts of their body. I know they're padded, but not
completely padded.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, you got to hit one hundred mile an hour fastball,
You have to hit a one hundred and fifty mile
an hour tennis serve.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
How many I one hundred and fifty miles an hour?
Who serves that fast?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I just did a basic look of what you know.
Above average speeds are like someone once had like one
hundred fifty seven or hundred and sixty mile an hour,
But that's like the greatest of all time. But then
there's some that go down to the one fifties and
one forties.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, because I don't I'd have to know how many
people in the world can do that. It feels like
there's on you know, there's a lot more guys throwing
one hundred miles an hour. One twenty is at the
high end for a golf swing. Slap shot one hundred
miles that used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It felt like.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Al mcguinnis didn't he have the fastest slap shot for years?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Back in maybe the eighties.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah, Paulie, there's been about fifteen recorded serves men's serves
of one fifty mph or over, including guys like Andy
Roddick did it and John Isner, a couple Americans.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You may know, yees see.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Returning a serve that fast must be almost impossible.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You know who was?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
There were two guys who stand out, who were two
of the greatest to ever do it. One was Andre
Agassy and the other one was Jimmy Conners. It just
felt like you're hitting bullets and they would just get
their racket on it just enough to get it over
so then you could have a rally. But I member Agacy,
he was so good at that, And I'm sure I'm
(04:04):
leaving out other people, but those were two that came
to mind. Eight seven seven three DP show. We'll get
to your phone calls coming up. Albert Breer is set
to join us Robert and Naples. Hi Robert, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 8 (04:18):
Hi Dan? Longtime missler, first time caller five eight one eighties. Yes,
I'm your average Bob softball pisney coach high school and
junior college. If I keep beating people inside and they
change the bats to where the sweet spots closer to
the hands. Why would I not start trying to attack
(04:39):
the outside with the BET's weaker.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I sure, I guess it's all open for interpretation and
discussion here. But Jeff Panson will join us next hour
talk a little bit more about that. He's Albert Breer,
the Monday Morning Quarterback, their senior NFL reporter, and he
joined us. Joins us from Florida. The owners meetings. There's
a lot on the table, a lot on the agenda.
(05:03):
Let me start with the tush push. When is that
being voted on today?
Speaker 9 (05:09):
I'm they're in the room now doing their votes, so
that could come down, you know, anytime I'd say, over
the next I would say within an hour, an hour
and a half will probably know one way or the other.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What's your sense?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
My senses?
Speaker 9 (05:23):
There's a ton of argument, you know in the room
over and I know you know Howie rosemans for the
room the other day and basically asked for the injury
data and when they said, well, there isn't really any
injury data. There haven't been injuries on it, he then said, okay,
well give me the difference in injuries between this and
a conventional quarterback sneak and they couldn't do that. Doctor
(05:46):
Allen Sales, the chief medical officer for the league, then
said like, well, you know, we're what we're worried about
based on the posture is that this can this could
create a catastrophic you know, or catastrophic spine injuries, you know.
And then you know, Mike Rabel and Jim Harbaugh actually
you know, spoke up and you know, got into the
(06:08):
way the rule was, how specifically written it is, like
it's written about you know, it's written in a way
where it's you know it it it It applies to
pushing behind the center. So Rabel asked, well, what if
the quarterback is running behind the guard, can you push him?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Then?
Speaker 9 (06:23):
And Harball came up with the ideas like, well what
if I put too extra linement And this would be
the most Harbaugh formation ever.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I think, what if.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
I put two extra linemen behind the guards, had them
push the guards and not touch the quarterback. So there's
been healthy debate. I just think, I I my sense
right now, Dan is if the commissioner really wants to
get this thing through, and I'm a little more certain
where he stands in the kickoff than I am on this.
(06:51):
If if the commissioner really wants to get it through,
maybe he tables it and they tweak it and work
it a little bit and and voted again.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
And I don't know.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
If they have the twenty four votes right now to
get it through and ban it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, that was my feeling that at first I thought
there just felt like there's at this groundswell and all
of a sudden there was a lot of you got
to get it out of the game. And then one
of my sources said, there's no data, Like they're searching
for data that's not there. They're desperate to find that.
And therefore, if you don't have that data, it's really
(07:22):
hard to say we're going to create a rule, get
it rid of a rule because of one team.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
And that's that's my problem with it, you know what
I mean, It's like, why should we be getting rid
of something because one team is really.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Good at it?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You know, what are the other things that have been
or will be decided or voted on today?
Speaker 9 (07:40):
So the overtime, the overtime proposal passed, which basically makes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hold on second, Albert, We've got a little breakup in
your connection there so we'll come back to you. So
I'd see if you can help Albert with his connectivity.
There By the way, the men's final four the odds,
Houston was a fore and a half point underdog. They're
now a five and a half point underdog against Duke,
and Florida is still two and a half point favored
(08:05):
against Auburn Yeston.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
This is a terrible day to be doing all this
voting and announcing all the.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Sea the April fools.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, there was just an ESPN just had a thing
that said breaking news NFL both teams will get the
ball in overtime.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well this and that.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I didn't even bother reading it all because I'm like,
I don't even know if it's true.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I really have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, you can joke about a lot of things, but
nobody wants to joke about the NFL. It just feels
like that that makes headlines and people would click on that.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yes, Paulie, one thing Albert said there. I didn't know
the NFL had the power to do. If they don't
feel like they had the votes, they could table this
to May and look at it again. I thought this
was like deciding day. That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It feels like, once again feels like the commissioner wants
to take this out of the game. It's predictable, esthetically
not pleasing. You're in the entertainment business. There's no data
that says that, hey, look at all of these injuries, Todd,
did we reconnect with Albert. We'll see if it sounds
a little bit better. So the overtime rule that was
(09:09):
just passed, can you explain that?
Speaker 9 (09:11):
Yeah, So, like, basically, it's going to take what's been
playoff overtime the last couple of years and make it
overtime across the board. The original proposal actually pushed for
a fifteen minute period. They tweaked that and moved it
back to being a ten minute period, which I think
is interesting because if you're the team that receives the kickoff,
well you just immediately go into your four minute offense, right, Like,
(09:34):
wouldn't you immediately start running the clock. So that could
add an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
My guess would be that they.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
Wanted to go to ten minute overtime because maybe the
broadcast partners don't want to be pushing outside the normal
window too far, And then you know, it's like adding
place to a game, which is a health and safety thing.
The Lion's proposal got shot down to take the automatic
first down away from defensive holding an illegal contact, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
And then the kickoff.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
I think it's the big one or the other big
one that they're going to vote on.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Here, Now, what what is it that they're going to
vote on?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
So it's to make the kickoff the obviously the new
kickoff that they debuted last year, to make that permanent,
and then there are some tweaks to that that they're
trying to go through. And my understanding is that Roger
really wants more returns. And the good news is like
(10:30):
the injury data that they have supports that this has worked.
Is you know, what they're saying is is that the
injury data shows that it's about the same injury right
now on a kickoff.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
As you have on a on a on.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
A on a normal play from scrimmage.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So like that part's good.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
They feel like too.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Many teams were kicking into the end zone. So you know,
like with the touch back being at the thirty they
it's been proposed they moved the touch back to the
thirty five. Now, you know, I know some coaches are
very against that, and so well, why don't we just
move the kicker back five yards so it's harder for
the kicker to reach the end zone. But the goal
(11:09):
here for Goodell seems very much to to find a
way to create more kickoffs and to get to get
more to create more kickoff returns. And you know, I
think there's been enough argument about the different formations and again,
like the different tweaks that I do think there's a
chance that Roger will look at this and say we
(11:30):
should table this until May and like go and work
through all of the tweaks and decide what's right for
this year, and then the vote again.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
On it May. What about the onside kick?
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Yeah, so the on side kick is that would allow
and this is just.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
A common sense thing.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
I don't know why they limited it to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
I don't know why they limited it to you have
to be behind, to be honest with you, I maybe
they they I mean, it is a more dangerous place,
and maybe they wanted to make sure that there were
a fewer of them. But yeah, what they would do
now is I think you still have to be behind.
But but the on side kick would be out in
all four quarters. Obviously you have to declare it because
(12:13):
it's completely different formation and play than than am if
I kickoff.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I know you're busy.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Thank you for spending time Albert anytime, Dan appreciate it.
That's Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback senior NFL reporter.
Tried to get a better connection there, but uh, sorry
about that, but Albert gonna have a busy day and
try to have him on again.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Yeah, Paulling, it is interesting that the kickoff that we
didn't really like the setup of the kickoff. But if
you can get more action, people are gonna I think
the fans will love it or get used to it
because you actually have action, not just a guy taking
a knee.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Well, yeah, it looks silly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It looks silly if there's no action that the guys
are just standing there and then you kick it and
then nothing really happens, at least if you're going to
stand there like you're guarding the Palace in London and
then you get to run after somebody and something's in play. Great,
Or if you kick it in the end zone you
get the ball at the thirty five or can you
(13:10):
move the kicker back to where But you know, then,
you know, you got guys who have really strong legs
and they would probably still be able to put it
into the end zone. But I think we're all in
favor of having a little more action on kickoffs. Jim
in Ohio, Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (13:28):
Good morning Dan? Good morning Dan. The previous caller.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
About you had the that's not good either, Jim, that's
not good call back. See if we can get a
better connection there. Lou in Indiana, Hi Lou, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Hi Dan, Thanks for taking my call. You were talking
about last four year great college player. I was where
Zach you would sit in there? He played four years
of produce, two time national player, got to the championship game,
and just happened to be playing against one of the
greatest college seamson in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, Zach Eaty would be in there.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Two time college player the year never won a national title,
so that takes him out of the running with all
of those great players who did win at least one
national title. But Latner might be the last great decorated
college basketball player because he stayed for four years with
the women. They're staying for four years. That's why you
(14:29):
know Rihanna Stewart, she might be the greatest women's college
basketball player of all time. You when you go four
for four and you're the most outstanding player in all
four of those national championship runs, can't improve upon that? Now,
you might say individually no, But if I'm looking at
(14:50):
what you accomplished and you were the most outstanding player
and your team won titles four for four, that puts
you on a very, very very short list of the
great women's college basketball players of all time.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Yes, Marvin, And for Paige, if she wants to be
on that list, she's got to win a national title
this year. Obviously this is the last go round, and
especially at Yukon. She doesn't crack the top five Yukon
women's players of all time without a national title.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, it's like Caitlin Clark that you have the purest
with the women's game saying, well, you can't say she's
the greatest of all times. She didn't win a national championship, okay,
but she changed the game. The all time leading scorer.
It's like Pete Maravich, Pete Marivitch all time leading scorer,
(15:34):
didn't win a national championship, didn't even come close. Now,
he didn't have a good team, but you know, Pete
getting forty four to night, but they went to the NIT.
I don't even know if he played in the well
back then the NIT was probably still favored over the NCAA.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But never won a national championship. But he was unstoppable.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Whereas Bill Walton and Luel Sindor, they're winning national championships there.
So if you're including Christian Laehner winning national championships, Tim
Duncan didn't win anything. Grant Hill won a national title,
you know. So you're you're looking at players, and if
you're going to say greatest players of all time, we
tend to start at the back end and then work
(16:16):
our way to the front of how many titles do
you have?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now? What else did you do? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Take a break, Adam Lefko on loan from TNT will
stop buy and more of your phone calls as well.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Watch a little bit of the Lakers Atlanta Hawks last night.
You know, I'm always fascinated with Trey Young, but it
just feels like he's had a career. Aside from going
to the Eastern Conference Finals where he puts up really
good numbers, it's just his team is mired in mediocrity.
He's like a twenty seven to ten guy, and you go, man,
(18:01):
and then you just go, what's his career going to be?
Speaker 15 (18:04):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yes, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Could he be one of those guys who has a
second act where he's maybe Option one A with a
better team?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yes, yes, I think he's going to need that. Yes,
Ton And that was the new assistant GM of Oklahoma basket.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Of what he does on the.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Court, I saw that he followed Steph Curry's blueprint there.
So he's the assistant GM for Oklahoma Basketball. Adam Lefko
NBA on TNT Inside the NBA he hosts on Tuesday Night.
He's also got a big podcast with Shaq Turner's Sports
March Madness studio host He does it All? Does it All?
(18:44):
How's the ego? I mean, you know you're getting a
lot of run now people know your name. You're talking
to big time celebrities. Thanks for taking time out for
this little show.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
People stop me in the airport. It took a hit
in a good way.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Do they stop you in a good way?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Yeah, they say, hey, stop running into the idiots. No,
my ego took a huge hit after I came in
here and I talked about Angel Reese and I argued
with you, and the internet did stuff, and then you
didn't have me on your show for like eight months.
And then I would occasionally text you and be like, man,
Caitlyn Clark is so good. Just trying to appease your
(19:24):
what I thought was an ego and.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So no, I just I thought I got to be
honest with you.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Though, Adam, I didn't know that you were doing it
for a reason. When you would just randomly I wanted.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
To talk to you, Dan you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You would randomly send me a text going, man, that
Caitlin Clark is phenomenal, and I'd be like, yeah, how
am I supposed to answer that?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of course she is.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Now I understand that you were trying to curry favor
or trying to win me back.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Yeah, because I rewatched the video and I was like
I think it was actually angry and no, so to
know that maybe that wasn't the case.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
What was the argument were you? Were you defending Angel
Reese and I thought I.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Was talking Angel Reese. It was like stop was at
the very highest, like they had won eight in a row,
and I was like, I don't know, dance, she might
win Rookie of the Year, and you were like, idiot,
I've been in sports for me seventy years.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But all right, well, glad to have you back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, this is Adam Sandler, happy Gilmore hoodie.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Wow. By the way, you gotta wear that, like what
once a month? You can't wear that too often.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I know I've probably gone to it a little too
often because you know people, Yeah, he got the lime green.
My daughter's in New York and she's walking along the
West Side Highway where they have basketball courts tennis courts.
She looks over and she sees somebody in a floral
shirt and baggy basketball shorts, and she calls me FaceTime.
(20:54):
She goes Dad, Adam Sandler is playing a pickup game
and she face times me. So I'm watching Sandler for
like five minutes on FaceTime, trying to yell at him,
and it was you know, he gathered a crowd there
going pickup basketball and he'll play anywhere with anybody. And
he was in town for a charity thing.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
See we're watching We're watching random sixteen year olds on
Twitch and there's millions of viewers. We should be streaming
the Sandler pickup basketball. I would watch that on a
on a Tuesday at two pm, I'm watching Sandler take
down random bags.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The why I'm in well, he sent me a picture
the last time he was playing in Lower Manhattan with
Timothy Challo May. Yeah, and actually he said Chalomey's got
some game.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
When I saw that. Timothy Challoway on two separate interviews,
one said his style icon is Kenny the Jet Smith
and then said his dream role is playing Ernie Johnson
in a bio. I went, this dude is definitely one
of the guys up at one am watching Inside. Also,
when did it become biopic and not biopick? When did
(22:07):
we make that switch?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I have a problem with it as well.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I thought it was it was biopick, but I've heard
you know, and it's.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Because someone British probably said bioperic and we went well,
they're always right?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Are you okay? With the Final four? The heavyweight, I
couldn't love it more.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
I've always been someone where I like, I wish we
had more upsets than the round one, but I like
all my upsets to happen in the round of sixty four.
And then I like amazing basketball because at this point
the ratings are going to be higher than they've ever been,
the storylines right themselves. I think the Duke Houston game
is going to be incredible. I mean, Houston member Jamal
(22:50):
shed got hurt last year against Duke in the sweet sixteen.
They went out there, they retooled with Uzan and so
the motivation from that side, the seniors versus the stud freshman,
and on the other side you get the sec storyline
battle that everyone's been obsessed with it. This is the
best case scenario, just like the twenty seventeen Final four
(23:11):
was amazing as well.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's Adam lefco NBA on TNT Inside the NBA, also
co host of The Big Podcast with Chack dan Patrick
Shut the Hell Up, Turner's Sports March Madness studio host
as well. We have already trademarked this. We wanted to
do tanking tops for like the Pelicans. They have to
(23:34):
wear tanking tops because they're tanking for flow.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Like pennies, like at high school practice.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, you must love them. You have to wear
tanking tops in practice.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Because tanking isn't obvious enough, then we need to make
it more obvious when they're playing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, as we want to shame them. Are the Sixers tanking?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, like it seems like it. It seems like half
the league is tanking because they too are watching the
final for and seeing Cooper flag. This is the time
of the year when everyone tries to solve tanking, and
my solve is just watch games like Houston, LA and
Minnesota Denver and just don't pay attention to them. I
think it's do you change the weight of the lottery?
(24:19):
Is if you're not in the lottery? Is everyone got
a chance to have the first pick in the draft?
It's the same thing. I'm an also an Eagles fan.
A ban the tush push, it's I don't know. It
just all seems unnecessary and excessive and arguing about like
the parts of sports that you actually don't care about.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
What's left to be settled with two weeks to go
in the season.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
So right now the West is a cluster in terms
of seating, and I think everyone is either trying to
fake like if Houston gets the two seed, sort of
like we had a few years ago where everyone was
jocking to get seven to face Memphis because they were younger.
That seems to be the right now. I mean, you
have some great teams in the West playing Minnesota's a
(25:04):
dangerous team, the Clippers are showing to be a dangerous team.
And then in the East, it's right now one, two, three,
look set and then do the Pacers get the four?
Where are the Bucks that I would love to see Bucks, Pacers,
Piston's Knicks, I think is the best matchup in that
middle ground. I don't think anyone's messing with Boston or Cleveland.
(25:28):
But on the West, you're trying to avoid the thunder
for as long as possible, and you're probably trying to
take on Houston because they can't score in a half
court offense. And like we saw with Memphis all those years,
you could be great in transition and offensive rebound, but
once the playoffs start and it's called differently. If you
can't score in a slow down game, they're going to
(25:49):
be in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Does the success of the Lakers hinge on them playing defense?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
You know, in last night they put up one of three,
I would say it it is. I would say also,
it's the other three point shooters. Last night gave Vincent, Dori,
Anthony Smith hit twelve threes combined and put up forty points.
And so Luca and Lebron are going to do their thing.
(26:17):
I don't think we're going to get Austin Reeves dropping
thirty points all the time. But who else could hit
threes when Luca and Lebron dish Because Luca's gravitational pull,
as you know, is so strong, just like it was
in Dallas. You need the Reggie Bullocks. You need those
guys on the outside that can hit those threes when
it matters. Defensively, though, Can we rely on lebron weak
(26:40):
side blocks and to clutch every game? I don't think.
So they went out and tried to trade for Mark Williams,
the center for Charlotte, who just went off for another
eighteen and thirteen. I don't know what happened with that
injury scan, but they showed us right there they needed
another big They didn't have it. And that's why for me,
the Lakers run is more likely next year condition.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
More all in on okay See or Cleveland.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Okay see that that was the wrong Eastern Conference team
to mention for me, I'm a Boston guy. I think
that Boston right now is a little bit like Oka
See where I feel like and I don't think they're
intentionally resting, but hey, Jalen Brown, you're off to that,
just like okay See, Hey Jalen Williams takes the more
rest Boston right now, I would take over. I just
(27:27):
I'm still I'm still I need to see it with
Cleveland and I'm just boring like that.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, I and the same thing with OKAC. We still
need to see it.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I don't know why I have more faith in Oklahoma City.
Maybe it's because and I know, Cleveland battle Boston and
battle back, and I've beaten Boston. I watched that okay
see Boston game a few weeks ago with Chuck and
I was just I was flabbergaston, Like we were just
sitting there watching Oklahoma City play defense. And typically, like
last night, Boston'll swing, swing, swing, and by the fourth
(28:03):
swing they caught you in a bad defensive shift. But
Oklahoma City is five guys that can all switch. It's
lou Dor, It's Caruso, both of their bigs, you know,
Chett Hartenstein can switch. And I think against Boston you
need to have that position versatility, and I think they
have it, and I think I don't know. I trust
(28:24):
Dagnal a lot. I trust. I do trust the Thunder
even though they haven't done it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Who's more interesting when the camera's not on Barkley or Shack.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Interesting in different ways. Chuck is so Chuck will go
out in public and we'll interact with everybody, which I
find endearing but also wildly annoying because you're never going
to get the story finished. So then Adam, as I
was telling you the Keda life is, Oh you want
a picture? Okay? Can you send them around the drinks? Yeah?
(28:55):
Where are you from? Honey? That's great? And you're like
where Shaq is like, we're going to go into a
private room by ourselves, and he's gonna, you know, Shaq
is going to tell you business stories about how he
walked into a boardroom. Was like, I'm sure, whereas Chuck
is going to tell you a story about you know,
Barcelona in ninety two. Very different people, but they're the
(29:19):
best when they're together. You know, they're like they're peanut,
butter and jail.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I like though that Chack didn't want money from a company.
He wanted part of the company he wanted.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
And now Chuck is finally in his equity bag. You know,
now he's got Redmont and Vodka and he's got all
of his companies. I want to know, you know, there's
a there's a chill that goes through the halls of
TNT when we get an alert that says Charles Barkley
on The Dan Patrick Show today, And I just want
to know, like, is this like the Manchurian candidate. Do
(29:51):
you have like a little node in the back of
his brain where you get him to say anything? Like
what have you done to this man? How have you
controlled his brain?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
One of the first times I met him, I did
a Sunday conversation when he was still no he was
with Phoenix, although I did meet him when he was
with the seventy six ers, but he talked about being
a woman, and so we had somebody at ESPN kind
(30:22):
of make him up as a woman and we use
the picture on the Sunday conversation with him, and he
got the biggest kick out of that, and then I
like I would just see him and he stayed in touch,
and it always feels like like that's our normal conversation.
If I'm around Reggie Miller, that'd be a normal conversation.
Around Charles, normal conversation. So all I try to do
(30:46):
is bring normalcy to something that isn't normal, and that's
an interview over zoom and Jack falls or Charles falls
for it every time.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
It's I think he loves he loves talking to people.
He loves to talk to is one. Both of those
two people are top two in terms of love being themselves.
Chuck loves being Chuck and Shack loves being Shack and
they've earned that. But Chuck to a tea like last night,
I thought it'd be funny because I hit a parleg
C and T and Chuck has yet to hit one
(31:18):
this year, and that was my second, and so I
was like, let me FaceTime, Chuck will understand, I know,
and he picked it up and I knew I was
in trouble. Dan when he had his clear glasses and
they were towards the edge of his nose, because as
Chuck is out, they get further and further down, and
then the talking gets louder and louder. And so I
(31:41):
tried and he he got me, and then I facetimed
him afterwards, and all I heard was like ten dudes laughing,
And I was like, where are you? He was like, oh,
I'm out with the fellas. We were watching you. And
when I saw you FaceTime me, I was like, you
knew and you still tried to end my life and
he was like, yeah, yeah, that's that's Chuck Man language.
(32:04):
He's the goat.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Great job. I hope you're having fun.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
I'm having a blast. Can I ask you for advice?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Did you ever cover like tennis, like extensively or just
sports singing?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I reported on it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't like the US Open, but I didn't do
anything where it was, you know, like Chris Baller calling matches.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Oh no, never. We're hosts, Dan, We're not play by people.
They're a whole weird. They like being on the road
and staying in the counter lodges. That's not our lives. Yes,
we like cushiness. We like someone that comes and puts
our if feedback.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Are you going to be a host.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
Well, I'm I'm at the point where I'm thinking, you know,
I'm starting to doing March Madness, and I'm thinking about
other sports. What about baseball, about tennis? Things like that.
How what is when you start to go, Okay, I'm
going to throw myself into another sport. I'm going to
really study and learn. How do you how do you say, well,
the greatest of all time? How do you throw yourself
into a new sport?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I throw it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I go into the deep end, but I go into
the deep end with people who have been with the
sport for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So they are my floaties. I'm in the deep end.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But I have these guys Mike Millberry when I did hockey,
you know, you can just ask these guys. There's so
many guys that, especially in that sport, who want to
help you. And that helped me greatly when I went
to the Olympics. You throw yourself in with Bob Costace
and al Michaels. I have the two greatest and you know,
(33:38):
so now I just take I just listen.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
But if you're going to.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Do that, be around people who have done this, because
they want to know if you're real or not. They
and I just go in and I just say, hey,
as if I don't know anything, help me understand these things.
And you'll be amazed at how much help that you like,
Doc Emrick, I just wanted to know how much he
(34:03):
why do you love the game so much? And he
gave me that costas with the Olympic and get you know,
you work so hard, you know, consecutive days. It's a
grind working the Olympics. But he said, you'll get like
it'll hit you and you'll get caught up in it
and you'll just be on overdrive. You'll just be on adrenaline.
(34:25):
And it was great. You know, those are very very beneficial.
But as a result, I'm doing that now. When Tony
Dungee and Rodney Harrison came in to football tonight, I said,
I want you to put your egos to the side.
I'm going to help you learn TV. You know football,
I'm going to help you with TV. And I think
that's the important part is you can play a role
(34:46):
to other you know, people coming up, but people will
play a role with you to help you understand the
nuance certain things you say and don't say. Terminology is
really big if somebody says, oh, you're in the bust
or you're in the sand trap, Well, it's like you
get the people who will watch the sport will go
be Oh, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
(35:07):
Oh he's out at home base. No, it's home place.
You know, silly things like that. But the more you're
around people who love the sport and they're almost watch dogs,
lifeguards for it, that'll help you.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I think it was beautiful.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I appreciate you, Dan, And Hey, Caitlin Clark MVP. Baby,
you got it this year, Dan, this is the year.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, you think she's finally gonna get the credit that
she's due.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
I just wish people would pay mark, you know. I
just feel like they need to watch her.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
I don't know where they're going to watch her or
find her. I don't know if she's got any national TV,
but she deserves. Thank you. Lefko, love you.
Speaker 3 (35:47):

Speaker 2 (38:32):
We've done it. We've done fill in the blank. Congratulations, Yeah,
round of applause for everybody here. Mike in New Jersey, Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:46):
Thanks for taking my call this morning, Dan, appreciate it.
Uh five eleven and a tone one five. So I've
been with my girlfriend for about seven months now and
things have been going great. We've been active and all that,
and uh, I wake up and and from time to
(39:06):
time we've been talked about going back to our celibate
ways before we get married, and uh, we haven't taken
that on. But this morning she wakes up and she says, Uh,
it's like, Mike, I think we need to become celibate
until until we get married. And uh, I was taking
it really hard, and I was like, all right, I'm
gonna do this, do this for my girlfriend. And then
(39:29):
and then as she gets ready and goes out the door,
and she's like, she's like, by the way, Uh, April
Fool's on the celibacy. Oh, thanks, welcome.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
All right, well, thank you, Mike. Uh credit to your
girlfriend there. We're active in stuff. I'm like, uh, okay,
getting busy. Harpo in South Carolina. Hi, harpo, Thank you
McCall deeply.
Speaker 8 (39:58):
Uh, that's the real deal in the Coastal Carolina freebie.
No April Fools there, but it is more credible being
close to the coast than in the Toddler being the
King of comedy.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Okay, so Coastal Carolina is closer to the coast than
todd is to the King of Comedy. All right, Yeah,
we were talking about Coastal Carolina where you go to
their football games and all the snacks are free, SODA's,
hot dogs, nachos, unlimited popcorn, beer. You still have to
pay for certain other specialty items, and we thought, wait
(40:33):
a minute. You know, you get about twenty one thousand
for each home game. That's a lot of snacks that
you're handed out. But then Seaton pulled the curtain back
and he's like, uh, you know, they probably get you
on an app and then all of a sudden, you know,
they monetize that somehow.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I don't know if that's the case or not, but
the story was definitely like every time you go up there,
you have to use this app, and we're going to
release that app eventually. Like, well, there's gotta be some
kind of data play there.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah, yeah, maybe so yeah, Paul, I.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
Wonder if that will catch on people like to imitate
other schools. Will other schools say, look what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I don't think Ohio State and Michigan or do that
for one hundred thousand people Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Everything's free. Do you have treadmills there?
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Like?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Do you have health experts? There?
Speaker 6 (41:23):
A coupon for we Gov help them out?
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Give me something.
Speaker 2 (41:26):

advanced to the Women's Final four, and the Pelicans officially
(00:52):
in tank mode. We have decided to come up with
tanking tops for some of these teams because CJ. McCollum
and z Ion Williamson will be sitting out the remainder
of the final seven games. Here eight seven seven three
DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
call seat and has a poll question and good morning
those watching on Peacock, also listening on our radio affiliates
(01:16):
including iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Poll question for hour two Seaton will be yeah, we
got up there right now.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Prediction today the brotherly shove will be made legal or illegal?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Fifty four percent of the audience think that's going to
be made illegal. Okay, we have a random one here
from Todd most impressive one hundred and fifty mile an
hour tennis serve one hundred and twenty mile an hour,
golf swing one hundred mile an hour fastball, or one
hundred mile an hour slap shot.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, how many people serve one hundred and fifty miles
an hour? How many swing of golf club one hundred
and twenty miles per hour? There seems to be a
lot of people throw a hundred miles an hour the
slap shot one hundred miles pre So I would be
curious how many people can do those individual achievements, because
(02:10):
that might tell you just how rare it is and
maybe how impressive it is.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yes, Paul, when I thought about those, what might be
more impressive is being on the other end of it,
being a catcher and dealing with one oh two and
being a goalkeeper. I didn't know a slap shot one
one hundred, and those guys are taking it off different
parts of their body. I know they're padded, but not
completely padded.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, you got to hit one hundred mile an hour fastball,
You have to hit a one hundred and fifty mile
an hour tennis serve.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
How many I one hundred and fifty miles an hour?
Who serves that fast?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I just did a basic look of what you know.
Above average speeds are like someone once had like one
hundred fifty seven or hundred and sixty mile an hour,
But that's like the greatest of all time. But then
there's some that go down to the one fifties and
one forties.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, because I don't I'd have to know how many
people in the world can do that. It feels like
there's on you know, there's a lot more guys throwing
one hundred miles an hour. One twenty is at the
high end for a golf swing. Slap shot one hundred
miles that used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It felt like.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Al mcguinnis didn't he have the fastest slap shot for years?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Back in maybe the eighties.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah, Paulie, there's been about fifteen recorded serves men's serves
of one fifty mph or over, including guys like Andy
Roddick did it and John Isner, a couple Americans.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You may know, yees see.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Returning a serve that fast must be almost impossible.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You know who was?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
There were two guys who stand out, who were two
of the greatest to ever do it. One was Andre
Agassy and the other one was Jimmy Conners. It just
felt like you're hitting bullets and they would just get
their racket on it just enough to get it over
so then you could have a rally. But I member Agacy,
he was so good at that, And I'm sure I'm
(04:04):
leaving out other people, but those were two that came
to mind. Eight seven seven three DP show. We'll get
to your phone calls coming up. Albert Breer is set
to join us Robert and Naples. Hi Robert, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 8 (04:18):
Hi Dan? Longtime missler, first time caller five eight one eighties. Yes,
I'm your average Bob softball pisney coach high school and
junior college. If I keep beating people inside and they
change the bats to where the sweet spots closer to
the hands. Why would I not start trying to attack
(04:39):
the outside with the BET's weaker.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I sure, I guess it's all open for interpretation and
discussion here. But Jeff Panson will join us next hour
talk a little bit more about that. He's Albert Breer,
the Monday Morning Quarterback, their senior NFL reporter, and he
joined us. Joins us from Florida. The owners meetings. There's
a lot on the table, a lot on the agenda.
(05:03):
Let me start with the tush push. When is that
being voted on today?
Speaker 9 (05:09):
I'm they're in the room now doing their votes, so
that could come down, you know, anytime I'd say, over
the next I would say within an hour, an hour
and a half will probably know one way or the other.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What's your sense?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
My senses?
Speaker 9 (05:23):
There's a ton of argument, you know in the room
over and I know you know Howie rosemans for the
room the other day and basically asked for the injury
data and when they said, well, there isn't really any
injury data. There haven't been injuries on it, he then said, okay,
well give me the difference in injuries between this and
a conventional quarterback sneak and they couldn't do that. Doctor
(05:46):
Allen Sales, the chief medical officer for the league, then
said like, well, you know, we're what we're worried about
based on the posture is that this can this could
create a catastrophic you know, or catastrophic spine injuries, you know.
And then you know, Mike Rabel and Jim Harbaugh actually
you know, spoke up and you know, got into the
(06:08):
way the rule was, how specifically written it is, like
it's written about you know, it's written in a way
where it's you know it it it It applies to
pushing behind the center. So Rabel asked, well, what if
the quarterback is running behind the guard, can you push him?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Then?
Speaker 9 (06:23):
And Harball came up with the ideas like, well what
if I put too extra linement And this would be
the most Harbaugh formation ever.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I think, what if.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
I put two extra linemen behind the guards, had them
push the guards and not touch the quarterback. So there's
been healthy debate. I just think, I I my sense
right now, Dan is if the commissioner really wants to
get this thing through, and I'm a little more certain
where he stands in the kickoff than I am on this.
(06:51):
If if the commissioner really wants to get it through,
maybe he tables it and they tweak it and work
it a little bit and and voted again.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
And I don't know.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
If they have the twenty four votes right now to
get it through and ban it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, that was my feeling that at first I thought
there just felt like there's at this groundswell and all
of a sudden there was a lot of you got
to get it out of the game. And then one
of my sources said, there's no data, Like they're searching
for data that's not there. They're desperate to find that.
And therefore, if you don't have that data, it's really
(07:22):
hard to say we're going to create a rule, get
it rid of a rule because of one team.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
And that's that's my problem with it, you know what
I mean, It's like, why should we be getting rid
of something because one team is really.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Good at it?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You know, what are the other things that have been
or will be decided or voted on today?
Speaker 9 (07:40):
So the overtime, the overtime proposal passed, which basically makes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hold on second, Albert, We've got a little breakup in
your connection there so we'll come back to you. So
I'd see if you can help Albert with his connectivity.
There By the way, the men's final four the odds,
Houston was a fore and a half point underdog. They're
now a five and a half point underdog against Duke,
and Florida is still two and a half point favored
(08:05):
against Auburn Yeston.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
This is a terrible day to be doing all this
voting and announcing all the.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Sea the April fools.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, there was just an ESPN just had a thing
that said breaking news NFL both teams will get the
ball in overtime.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well this and that.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I didn't even bother reading it all because I'm like,
I don't even know if it's true.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I really have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, you can joke about a lot of things, but
nobody wants to joke about the NFL. It just feels
like that that makes headlines and people would click on that.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yes, Paulie, one thing Albert said there. I didn't know
the NFL had the power to do. If they don't
feel like they had the votes, they could table this
to May and look at it again. I thought this
was like deciding day. That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It feels like, once again feels like the commissioner wants
to take this out of the game. It's predictable, esthetically
not pleasing. You're in the entertainment business. There's no data
that says that, hey, look at all of these injuries, Todd,
did we reconnect with Albert. We'll see if it sounds
a little bit better. So the overtime rule that was
(09:09):
just passed, can you explain that?
Speaker 9 (09:11):
Yeah, So, like, basically, it's going to take what's been
playoff overtime the last couple of years and make it
overtime across the board. The original proposal actually pushed for
a fifteen minute period. They tweaked that and moved it
back to being a ten minute period, which I think
is interesting because if you're the team that receives the kickoff,
well you just immediately go into your four minute offense, right, Like,
(09:34):
wouldn't you immediately start running the clock. So that could
add an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
My guess would be that they.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
Wanted to go to ten minute overtime because maybe the
broadcast partners don't want to be pushing outside the normal
window too far, And then you know, it's like adding
place to a game, which is a health and safety thing.
The Lion's proposal got shot down to take the automatic
first down away from defensive holding an illegal contact, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
And then the kickoff.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
I think it's the big one or the other big
one that they're going to vote on.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Here, Now, what what is it that they're going to
vote on?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
So it's to make the kickoff the obviously the new
kickoff that they debuted last year, to make that permanent,
and then there are some tweaks to that that they're
trying to go through. And my understanding is that Roger
really wants more returns. And the good news is like
(10:30):
the injury data that they have supports that this has worked.
Is you know, what they're saying is is that the
injury data shows that it's about the same injury right
now on a kickoff.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
As you have on a on a on.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
A on a normal play from scrimmage.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So like that part's good.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
They feel like too.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Many teams were kicking into the end zone. So you know,
like with the touch back being at the thirty they
it's been proposed they moved the touch back to the
thirty five. Now, you know, I know some coaches are
very against that, and so well, why don't we just
move the kicker back five yards so it's harder for
the kicker to reach the end zone. But the goal
(11:09):
here for Goodell seems very much to to find a
way to create more kickoffs and to get to get
more to create more kickoff returns. And you know, I
think there's been enough argument about the different formations and again,
like the different tweaks that I do think there's a
chance that Roger will look at this and say we
(11:30):
should table this until May and like go and work
through all of the tweaks and decide what's right for
this year, and then the vote again.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
On it May. What about the onside kick?
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Yeah, so the on side kick is that would allow
and this is just.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
A common sense thing.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
I don't know why they limited it to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
I don't know why they limited it to you have
to be behind, to be honest with you, I maybe
they they I mean, it is a more dangerous place,
and maybe they wanted to make sure that there were
a fewer of them. But yeah, what they would do
now is I think you still have to be behind.
But but the on side kick would be out in
all four quarters. Obviously you have to declare it because
(12:13):
it's completely different formation and play than than am if
I kickoff.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I know you're busy.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Thank you for spending time Albert anytime, Dan appreciate it.
That's Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback senior NFL reporter.
Tried to get a better connection there, but uh, sorry
about that, but Albert gonna have a busy day and
try to have him on again.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Yeah, Paulling, it is interesting that the kickoff that we
didn't really like the setup of the kickoff. But if
you can get more action, people are gonna I think
the fans will love it or get used to it
because you actually have action, not just a guy taking
a knee.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Well, yeah, it looks silly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It looks silly if there's no action that the guys
are just standing there and then you kick it and
then nothing really happens, at least if you're going to
stand there like you're guarding the Palace in London and
then you get to run after somebody and something's in play. Great,
Or if you kick it in the end zone you
get the ball at the thirty five or can you
(13:10):
move the kicker back to where But you know, then,
you know, you got guys who have really strong legs
and they would probably still be able to put it
into the end zone. But I think we're all in
favor of having a little more action on kickoffs. Jim
in Ohio, Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (13:28):
Good morning Dan? Good morning Dan. The previous caller.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
About you had the that's not good either, Jim, that's
not good call back. See if we can get a
better connection there. Lou in Indiana, Hi Lou, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Hi Dan, Thanks for taking my call. You were talking
about last four year great college player. I was where
Zach you would sit in there? He played four years
of produce, two time national player, got to the championship game,
and just happened to be playing against one of the
greatest college seamson in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, Zach Eaty would be in there.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Two time college player the year never won a national title,
so that takes him out of the running with all
of those great players who did win at least one
national title. But Latner might be the last great decorated
college basketball player because he stayed for four years with
the women. They're staying for four years. That's why you
(14:29):
know Rihanna Stewart, she might be the greatest women's college
basketball player of all time. You when you go four
for four and you're the most outstanding player in all
four of those national championship runs, can't improve upon that? Now,
you might say individually no, But if I'm looking at
(14:50):
what you accomplished and you were the most outstanding player
and your team won titles four for four, that puts
you on a very, very very short list of the
great women's college basketball players of all time.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Yes, Marvin, And for Paige, if she wants to be
on that list, she's got to win a national title
this year. Obviously this is the last go round, and
especially at Yukon. She doesn't crack the top five Yukon
women's players of all time without a national title.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, it's like Caitlin Clark that you have the purest
with the women's game saying, well, you can't say she's
the greatest of all times. She didn't win a national championship, okay,
but she changed the game. The all time leading scorer.
It's like Pete Maravich, Pete Marivitch all time leading scorer,
(15:34):
didn't win a national championship, didn't even come close. Now,
he didn't have a good team, but you know, Pete
getting forty four to night, but they went to the NIT.
I don't even know if he played in the well
back then the NIT was probably still favored over the NCAA.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But never won a national championship. But he was unstoppable.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Whereas Bill Walton and Luel Sindor, they're winning national championships there.
So if you're including Christian Laehner winning national championships, Tim
Duncan didn't win anything. Grant Hill won a national title,
you know. So you're you're looking at players, and if
you're going to say greatest players of all time, we
tend to start at the back end and then work
(16:16):
our way to the front of how many titles do
you have?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now? What else did you do? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:21):

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Watch a little bit of the Lakers Atlanta Hawks last night.
You know, I'm always fascinated with Trey Young, but it
just feels like he's had a career. Aside from going
to the Eastern Conference Finals where he puts up really
good numbers, it's just his team is mired in mediocrity.
He's like a twenty seven to ten guy, and you go, man,
(18:01):
and then you just go, what's his career going to be?
Speaker 15 (18:04):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yes, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Could he be one of those guys who has a
second act where he's maybe Option one A with a
better team?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yes, yes, I think he's going to need that. Yes,
Ton And that was the new assistant GM of Oklahoma basket.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Of what he does on the.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Court, I saw that he followed Steph Curry's blueprint there.
So he's the assistant GM for Oklahoma Basketball. Adam Lefko
NBA on TNT Inside the NBA he hosts on Tuesday Night.
He's also got a big podcast with Shaq Turner's Sports
March Madness studio host He does it All? Does it All?
(18:44):
How's the ego? I mean, you know you're getting a
lot of run now people know your name. You're talking
to big time celebrities. Thanks for taking time out for
this little show.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
People stop me in the airport. It took a hit
in a good way.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Do they stop you in a good way?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Yeah, they say, hey, stop running into the idiots. No,
my ego took a huge hit after I came in
here and I talked about Angel Reese and I argued
with you, and the internet did stuff, and then you
didn't have me on your show for like eight months.
And then I would occasionally text you and be like, man,
Caitlyn Clark is so good. Just trying to appease your
(19:24):
what I thought was an ego and.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So no, I just I thought I got to be
honest with you.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Though, Adam, I didn't know that you were doing it
for a reason. When you would just randomly I wanted.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
To talk to you, Dan you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You would randomly send me a text going, man, that
Caitlin Clark is phenomenal, and I'd be like, yeah, how
am I supposed to answer that?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of course she is.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Now I understand that you were trying to curry favor
or trying to win me back.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Yeah, because I rewatched the video and I was like
I think it was actually angry and no, so to
know that maybe that wasn't the case.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
What was the argument were you? Were you defending Angel
Reese and I thought I.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Was talking Angel Reese. It was like stop was at
the very highest, like they had won eight in a row,
and I was like, I don't know, dance, she might
win Rookie of the Year, and you were like, idiot,
I've been in sports for me seventy years.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But all right, well, glad to have you back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, this is Adam Sandler, happy Gilmore hoodie.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Wow. By the way, you gotta wear that, like what
once a month? You can't wear that too often.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I know I've probably gone to it a little too
often because you know people, Yeah, he got the lime green.
My daughter's in New York and she's walking along the
West Side Highway where they have basketball courts tennis courts.
She looks over and she sees somebody in a floral
shirt and baggy basketball shorts, and she calls me FaceTime.
(20:54):
She goes Dad, Adam Sandler is playing a pickup game
and she face times me. So I'm watching Sandler for
like five minutes on FaceTime, trying to yell at him,
and it was you know, he gathered a crowd there
going pickup basketball and he'll play anywhere with anybody. And
he was in town for a charity thing.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
See we're watching We're watching random sixteen year olds on
Twitch and there's millions of viewers. We should be streaming
the Sandler pickup basketball. I would watch that on a
on a Tuesday at two pm, I'm watching Sandler take
down random bags.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The why I'm in well, he sent me a picture
the last time he was playing in Lower Manhattan with
Timothy Challo May. Yeah, and actually he said Chalomey's got
some game.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
When I saw that. Timothy Challoway on two separate interviews,
one said his style icon is Kenny the Jet Smith
and then said his dream role is playing Ernie Johnson
in a bio. I went, this dude is definitely one
of the guys up at one am watching Inside. Also,
when did it become biopic and not biopick? When did
(22:07):
we make that switch?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I have a problem with it as well.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I thought it was it was biopick, but I've heard
you know, and it's.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Because someone British probably said bioperic and we went well,
they're always right?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Are you okay? With the Final four? The heavyweight, I
couldn't love it more.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
I've always been someone where I like, I wish we
had more upsets than the round one, but I like
all my upsets to happen in the round of sixty four.
And then I like amazing basketball because at this point
the ratings are going to be higher than they've ever been,
the storylines right themselves. I think the Duke Houston game
is going to be incredible. I mean, Houston member Jamal
(22:50):
shed got hurt last year against Duke in the sweet sixteen.
They went out there, they retooled with Uzan and so
the motivation from that side, the seniors versus the stud freshman,
and on the other side you get the sec storyline
battle that everyone's been obsessed with it. This is the
best case scenario, just like the twenty seventeen Final four
(23:11):
was amazing as well.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's Adam lefco NBA on TNT Inside the NBA, also
co host of The Big Podcast with Chack dan Patrick
Shut the Hell Up, Turner's Sports March Madness studio host
as well. We have already trademarked this. We wanted to
do tanking tops for like the Pelicans. They have to
(23:34):
wear tanking tops because they're tanking for flow.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Like pennies, like at high school practice.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, you must love them. You have to wear
tanking tops in practice.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Because tanking isn't obvious enough, then we need to make
it more obvious when they're playing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, as we want to shame them. Are the Sixers tanking?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, like it seems like it. It seems like half
the league is tanking because they too are watching the
final for and seeing Cooper flag. This is the time
of the year when everyone tries to solve tanking, and
my solve is just watch games like Houston, LA and
Minnesota Denver and just don't pay attention to them. I
think it's do you change the weight of the lottery?
(24:19):
Is if you're not in the lottery? Is everyone got
a chance to have the first pick in the draft?
It's the same thing. I'm an also an Eagles fan.
A ban the tush push, it's I don't know. It
just all seems unnecessary and excessive and arguing about like
the parts of sports that you actually don't care about.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
What's left to be settled with two weeks to go
in the season.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
So right now the West is a cluster in terms
of seating, and I think everyone is either trying to
fake like if Houston gets the two seed, sort of
like we had a few years ago where everyone was
jocking to get seven to face Memphis because they were younger.
That seems to be the right now. I mean, you
have some great teams in the West playing Minnesota's a
(25:04):
dangerous team, the Clippers are showing to be a dangerous team.
And then in the East, it's right now one, two, three,
look set and then do the Pacers get the four?
Where are the Bucks that I would love to see Bucks, Pacers,
Piston's Knicks, I think is the best matchup in that
middle ground. I don't think anyone's messing with Boston or Cleveland.
(25:28):
But on the West, you're trying to avoid the thunder
for as long as possible, and you're probably trying to
take on Houston because they can't score in a half
court offense. And like we saw with Memphis all those years,
you could be great in transition and offensive rebound, but
once the playoffs start and it's called differently. If you
can't score in a slow down game, they're going to
(25:49):
be in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Does the success of the Lakers hinge on them playing defense?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
You know, in last night they put up one of three,
I would say it it is. I would say also,
it's the other three point shooters. Last night gave Vincent, Dori,
Anthony Smith hit twelve threes combined and put up forty points.
And so Luca and Lebron are going to do their thing.
(26:17):
I don't think we're going to get Austin Reeves dropping
thirty points all the time. But who else could hit
threes when Luca and Lebron dish Because Luca's gravitational pull,
as you know, is so strong, just like it was
in Dallas. You need the Reggie Bullocks. You need those
guys on the outside that can hit those threes when
it matters. Defensively, though, Can we rely on lebron weak
(26:40):
side blocks and to clutch every game? I don't think.
So they went out and tried to trade for Mark Williams,
the center for Charlotte, who just went off for another
eighteen and thirteen. I don't know what happened with that
injury scan, but they showed us right there they needed
another big They didn't have it. And that's why for me,
the Lakers run is more likely next year condition.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
More all in on okay See or Cleveland.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Okay see that that was the wrong Eastern Conference team
to mention for me, I'm a Boston guy. I think
that Boston right now is a little bit like Oka
See where I feel like and I don't think they're
intentionally resting, but hey, Jalen Brown, you're off to that,
just like okay See, Hey Jalen Williams takes the more
rest Boston right now, I would take over. I just
(27:27):
I'm still I'm still I need to see it with
Cleveland and I'm just boring like that.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, I and the same thing with OKAC. We still
need to see it.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I don't know why I have more faith in Oklahoma City.
Maybe it's because and I know, Cleveland battle Boston and
battle back, and I've beaten Boston. I watched that okay
see Boston game a few weeks ago with Chuck and
I was just I was flabbergaston, Like we were just
sitting there watching Oklahoma City play defense. And typically, like
last night, Boston'll swing, swing, swing, and by the fourth
(28:03):
swing they caught you in a bad defensive shift. But
Oklahoma City is five guys that can all switch. It's
lou Dor, It's Caruso, both of their bigs, you know,
Chett Hartenstein can switch. And I think against Boston you
need to have that position versatility, and I think they
have it, and I think I don't know. I trust
(28:24):
Dagnal a lot. I trust. I do trust the Thunder
even though they haven't done it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Who's more interesting when the camera's not on Barkley or Shack.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Interesting in different ways. Chuck is so Chuck will go
out in public and we'll interact with everybody, which I
find endearing but also wildly annoying because you're never going
to get the story finished. So then Adam, as I
was telling you the Keda life is, Oh you want
a picture? Okay? Can you send them around the drinks? Yeah?
(28:55):
Where are you from? Honey? That's great? And you're like
where Shaq is like, we're going to go into a
private room by ourselves, and he's gonna, you know, Shaq
is going to tell you business stories about how he
walked into a boardroom. Was like, I'm sure, whereas Chuck
is going to tell you a story about you know,
Barcelona in ninety two. Very different people, but they're the
(29:19):
best when they're together. You know, they're like they're peanut,
butter and jail.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I like though that Chack didn't want money from a company.
He wanted part of the company he wanted.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
And now Chuck is finally in his equity bag. You know,
now he's got Redmont and Vodka and he's got all
of his companies. I want to know, you know, there's
a there's a chill that goes through the halls of
TNT when we get an alert that says Charles Barkley
on The Dan Patrick Show today, And I just want
to know, like, is this like the Manchurian candidate. Do
(29:51):
you have like a little node in the back of
his brain where you get him to say anything? Like
what have you done to this man? How have you
controlled his brain?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
One of the first times I met him, I did
a Sunday conversation when he was still no he was
with Phoenix, although I did meet him when he was
with the seventy six ers, but he talked about being
a woman, and so we had somebody at ESPN kind
(30:22):
of make him up as a woman and we use
the picture on the Sunday conversation with him, and he
got the biggest kick out of that, and then I
like I would just see him and he stayed in touch,
and it always feels like like that's our normal conversation.
If I'm around Reggie Miller, that'd be a normal conversation.
Around Charles, normal conversation. So all I try to do
(30:46):
is bring normalcy to something that isn't normal, and that's
an interview over zoom and Jack falls or Charles falls
for it every time.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
It's I think he loves he loves talking to people.
He loves to talk to is one. Both of those
two people are top two in terms of love being themselves.
Chuck loves being Chuck and Shack loves being Shack and
they've earned that. But Chuck to a tea like last night,
I thought it'd be funny because I hit a parleg
C and T and Chuck has yet to hit one
(31:18):
this year, and that was my second, and so I
was like, let me FaceTime, Chuck will understand, I know,
and he picked it up and I knew I was
in trouble. Dan when he had his clear glasses and
they were towards the edge of his nose, because as
Chuck is out, they get further and further down, and
then the talking gets louder and louder. And so I
(31:41):
tried and he he got me, and then I facetimed
him afterwards, and all I heard was like ten dudes laughing,
And I was like, where are you? He was like, oh,
I'm out with the fellas. We were watching you. And
when I saw you FaceTime me, I was like, you
knew and you still tried to end my life and
he was like, yeah, yeah, that's that's Chuck Man language.
(32:04):
He's the goat.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Great job. I hope you're having fun.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
I'm having a blast. Can I ask you for advice?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Did you ever cover like tennis, like extensively or just
sports singing?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I reported on it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't like the US Open, but I didn't do
anything where it was, you know, like Chris Baller calling matches.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Oh no, never. We're hosts, Dan, We're not play by people.
They're a whole weird. They like being on the road
and staying in the counter lodges. That's not our lives. Yes,
we like cushiness. We like someone that comes and puts
our if feedback.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Are you going to be a host.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
Well, I'm I'm at the point where I'm thinking, you know,
I'm starting to doing March Madness, and I'm thinking about
other sports. What about baseball, about tennis? Things like that.
How what is when you start to go, Okay, I'm
going to throw myself into another sport. I'm going to
really study and learn. How do you how do you say, well,
the greatest of all time? How do you throw yourself
into a new sport?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I throw it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I go into the deep end, but I go into
the deep end with people who have been with the
sport for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So they are my floaties. I'm in the deep end.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But I have these guys Mike Millberry when I did hockey,
you know, you can just ask these guys. There's so
many guys that, especially in that sport, who want to
help you. And that helped me greatly when I went
to the Olympics. You throw yourself in with Bob Costace
and al Michaels. I have the two greatest and you know,
(33:38):
so now I just take I just listen.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
But if you're going to.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Do that, be around people who have done this, because
they want to know if you're real or not. They
and I just go in and I just say, hey,
as if I don't know anything, help me understand these things.
And you'll be amazed at how much help that you like,
Doc Emrick, I just wanted to know how much he
(34:03):
why do you love the game so much? And he
gave me that costas with the Olympic and get you know,
you work so hard, you know, consecutive days. It's a
grind working the Olympics. But he said, you'll get like
it'll hit you and you'll get caught up in it
and you'll just be on overdrive. You'll just be on adrenaline.
(34:25):
And it was great. You know, those are very very beneficial.
But as a result, I'm doing that now. When Tony
Dungee and Rodney Harrison came in to football tonight, I said,
I want you to put your egos to the side.
I'm going to help you learn TV. You know football,
I'm going to help you with TV. And I think
that's the important part is you can play a role
(34:46):
to other you know, people coming up, but people will
play a role with you to help you understand the
nuance certain things you say and don't say. Terminology is
really big if somebody says, oh, you're in the bust
or you're in the sand trap, Well, it's like you
get the people who will watch the sport will go
be Oh, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
(35:07):
Oh he's out at home base. No, it's home place.
You know, silly things like that. But the more you're
around people who love the sport and they're almost watch dogs,
lifeguards for it, that'll help you.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I think it was beautiful.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I appreciate you, Dan, And Hey, Caitlin Clark MVP. Baby,
you got it this year, Dan, this is the year.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, you think she's finally gonna get the credit that
she's due.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
I just wish people would pay mark, you know. I
just feel like they need to watch her.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
I don't know where they're going to watch her or
find her. I don't know if she's got any national TV,
but she deserves. Thank you. Lefko, love you.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
We've done it. We've done fill in the blank. Congratulations, Yeah,
round of applause for everybody here. Mike in New Jersey, Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:46):
Thanks for taking my call this morning, Dan, appreciate it.
Uh five eleven and a tone one five. So I've
been with my girlfriend for about seven months now and
things have been going great. We've been active and all that,
and uh, I wake up and and from time to
(39:06):
time we've been talked about going back to our celibate
ways before we get married, and uh, we haven't taken
that on. But this morning she wakes up and she says, Uh,
it's like, Mike, I think we need to become celibate
until until we get married. And uh, I was taking
it really hard, and I was like, all right, I'm
gonna do this, do this for my girlfriend. And then
(39:29):
and then as she gets ready and goes out the door,
and she's like, she's like, by the way, Uh, April
Fool's on the celibacy. Oh, thanks, welcome.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
All right, well, thank you, Mike. Uh credit to your
girlfriend there. We're active in stuff. I'm like, uh, okay,
getting busy. Harpo in South Carolina. Hi, harpo, Thank you
McCall deeply.
Speaker 8 (39:58):
Uh, that's the real deal in the Coastal Carolina freebie.
No April Fools there, but it is more credible being
close to the coast than in the Toddler being the
King of comedy.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Okay, so Coastal Carolina is closer to the coast than
todd is to the King of Comedy. All right, Yeah,
we were talking about Coastal Carolina where you go to
their football games and all the snacks are free, SODA's,
hot dogs, nachos, unlimited popcorn, beer. You still have to
pay for certain other specialty items, and we thought, wait
(40:33):
a minute. You know, you get about twenty one thousand
for each home game. That's a lot of snacks that
you're handed out. But then Seaton pulled the curtain back
and he's like, uh, you know, they probably get you
on an app and then all of a sudden, you know,
they monetize that somehow.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I don't know if that's the case or not, but
the story was definitely like every time you go up there,
you have to use this app, and we're going to
release that app eventually. Like, well, there's gotta be some
kind of data play there.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah, yeah, maybe so yeah, Paul, I.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
Wonder if that will catch on people like to imitate
other schools. Will other schools say, look what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I don't think Ohio State and Michigan or do that
for one hundred thousand people Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Everything's free. Do you have treadmills there?
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Like?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Do you have health experts? There?
Speaker 6 (41:23):
A coupon for we Gov help them out?
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Give me something.
Speaker 2 (41:26):

about the torpedo bats.
