Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
At that case, you're wondering on the Traeger grills, pork belly,
bond me sandwiches, Vietnamese summer rolls, and coconut fried rice.
Who has it better than we do? No stat of
the Day has always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. I've been talking
about the Indiana bench forty eight points. They got forty
(00:28):
nine points in Game three, and we have not seen
this in the last forty years. This is the most
points from a team's bench in the NBA Finals in
the last forty years. They've also won three games. They've
been the underdog in three of those games, every game
so far, and this ties the Raptors for the most
(00:49):
finals wins by an underdog since two thousand and eight.
Pole question today, our two is going to be what
Seaton counter.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hold on one second?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Let me get that for you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Led me.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're going with the Pascal Siakam Hall of Fame, Hall
of Very.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Good if he wins the title.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
If he wins the title, is he in the Hall
of Fame or the Hall of very Good?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Two titles and an MVP in the NBA Finals if
they would win on Sunday night. Corrects. Okac favored by

Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner,
download the app if you haven't done so, so there
(01:40):
will be a game seven and Okasee favored by eight
and a half. Let's bring in Jeff Tige, former champion
with the Bucks. He's the head coach of Pike High
School in Indianapolis's alma mater. A couple think an All
Star in twenty fifteen, former first round pick of the Hawks.
Eight podcasts By the way, UH five twenty in the morning.
(02:04):
So Jeff Tigue joins us on the program. What happened
last night? Why did Indiana dominate Club five twenty? I
should say, uh.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Indiana played with a lot of energy. Like you said,
the bench was fantastic. They've been fantastic all series. But
they played with so much energy. You can tell that
they really wanted to get the win last night.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But when you go to the bench, like if you're
a coach and you know your bench is your strength
or one of your strength. Can you go to the
bench too soon in a situation like that?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah, But I think that's what makes Indiana a great team,
Like they can go to their bench early and they
know they're gonna get some effective play.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Nash if we call him TJ McConnell, and he played
so well. I mean, he comes off the bench with
so much energy, and he changed the dynamic of the
game every time he steps on the floor. So when
you know you had that boda energy coming off the bench,
it's never too late to put him in.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He gets paid to be annoying, doesn't he.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, what's it like when you face that annoying guy,
that hustle guy never quits high motor.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, you kinda he kind of pits
you on your toes a little bit. Like you know,
he's gonna come in with that energy. You gotta protect
the ball. So as soon as he checks in, you like,
here we go, they're come to TASMANI and double. He's
gonna be all over the floor. He's gonna be everywhere.
And playing against him was annoying. But watching him playing
and probably like his teammates probably love him for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Explain the defense with the Pacers. We talk about Okayc's defense,
but you're turning. You know, Shay had eight turnovers. Yeah,
I mean they that's not typical. So what happened last
night that kind of turned them into a turnover machine?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Indiana was flying around, they were on a string.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And they're not known for being really a physical team
throughout the regular season, but this playoffs matchups, they've been
so physical and attacking the ball and they're making him
shasy bodies. I mean, Nimhrt did a wonderful job last
night staying in front of him, trying.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
To make him make tough shots.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
But every time he was spind or go behind his bag,
he will be a second defender there. And they played
a team defense last night. Myles Turner was big in
the paint. It was just an overall great team effort.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And now the pressure on game in game seven on okay,
shit right all on?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
See, I mean they played really well at home, we
know that, but a couple of those shots missed early
in that game, it could get a little spooky. I
think the Pacers are playing with a lot of confidence.
They really don't have anything to lose. Everybody expects them
to lose on a Game seven on the road, so
they're probably gonna play free. I can imagine Tyreez Aliburn
(04:44):
having a big game. I'm actually taking the Pacers in
this game.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Okay, did you have the pacers from the beginning, because
you know, oh you get okay she okay.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, I had Okay, see, but I told some of
the guys that on the podcast with me, if it
made it to a Game seven, I was going to
take the pacers just because I know the pressures that
could be on in the game seven.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Playing through an injury, Halliburton played what twenty three minutes. Yeah,
because that kind of injury, you'd probably be missing games
during the regular season. But you can't sit down, go
back in, go sit down. Like it felt like Carlisle
is gonna go. I'll get as much as I can
for as long as I can. And I don't know
(05:25):
if three days of rest how that impacts that kind
of injury, if at all.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Probably not. I mean, he probably need a couple of
weeks to get back healthy.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
But I just think that that spirit, that toughness that
he's playing through it I think it went throughout the
whole team, and you can see how they were playing.
They were all connected and it was like they were
they had one goals to get to that Game seven,
and I think they kind of carry that energy over
its in Game seven. I think the passers can take it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Jeff chiegu won a championship with the Bucks in twenty
twenty one, head coach of Pike High School in the
Indian amplush his alma mater in his podcast Club five twenty.
You tell great stories. You you're not afraid to tell
great stories. Give me the story that probably got the
most reaction after you told it on your podcast.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Probably the Jimmy Butler story.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Jimmy Butler he had an episode, I would say, during
practice where he kind of went off on everybody and
he ended up playing us with like some of the
guys from the G League and beating us and telling
us about it, and I kind of teld the backstory
to it all, and then he got traded.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So it was just a whole funny scenario.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Wait, so he's just he's taking names, like he's he's
going at you guys and bringing in guy to prove
that he can doesn't matter who he has, he's going
to beat you.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, he just wanted to He wanted to get paid,
and basically he was looking to get that extension and
he didn't get the extension he wanted, so he came
in and he was trying to wreck shop and he
pointed out guys from the front office to the coaching
staff to players on the team, and he just.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Went at everybody.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
And he had a moment in practice and he was
he was killing and he was letting it be known.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Is he crazy or calculated?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Calculated? It's not crazy at all.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
But he's gonna get what he wants and he's gonna
go to whatever extreme measures he needs to to get
what he wants.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You ever play against the guy who made you a
little nervous that he was kind of crazy. Wasn't all there?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Uh yeah, Reggie Evans, he scared me a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Why, I'm not gonna say he wasn't all there.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But he just he was physical and it just seemed
like he wanted to smoke anytime. So I had a
college teammate named James johnsonho plays for the Pacers, and
practice sometimes you would think he was all there, but
he's very intelligent, very locked in, but he can get
he can get going a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
What was your welcome to the NBA moment? Welcome to
the NBA?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Uh I came to say his name, No stro and
the sturbage Yo bowed me in the nose for trying to.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Dunk on them. That was my welcome to the NBA.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And what did you do?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Nothing? Help held the town to my nose.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
So no words, you're exchanged, nah, Like he just he
kind of apologized to me, was like, Hey, you're not
gonna be able to dunk in this league.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Man, I just help my you know what I mean?
Nothing I can really do.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
What's it like to guard Steph Curry?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I told a story about that on the podcast. In
a preseason game. We went to China for a preseason
game when I was in Minnesota, and you know, it's
a preseason game. We're all having a good fun and
he's like, before the game, let's play serious. It's like,
get a good run in the night, y'all. So we're like, okay,
and he ended up scoring forty something points on me
in front of thirty forty thousand people. I was so mad.
(08:59):
If I could have false currying that would have fault him.
But no, he's incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But when do you know, like, is there any indication
when somebody gets on one of those heaters and you
just know it doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, with him, when he when he starts dancing and
you know, doing all the simi and stuff, you know
pretty much you in trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And then the mouthpiece comes out right in front of you.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
You get the running around and Draymond Green get to
set in that legal screen.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
WHOA. But you want Draymond on your team, right for sure.
But he's but he's a dirty player.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No, I wouldn't call him dirty. I think he just
plays hard.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah you would. You'd call him dirty.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Everybody.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Everybody got a little dirty.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
He's just been televised.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I would say, well, we do focus on him, but
it feels like whatever it takes, he's he's going to do.
But he he made himself into a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, I mean he does all the little things.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
He's a phenomenal defender, he can guard one through five,
great playmaker. But he's that guy you want on your team.
But you definitely hate playing against him.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
But you're the coach in high school now, and I'm
curious about this Steph Curry impact on high school basketball.
How much do you coach or coach against that style
of basketball?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Uh, nobody can shoot like Steph Curry. So that's the
first problem. Yeah, but they think they can. Yeah, that's
the that's the biggest problem. So everybody wants to shoot threes.
I'm not against taking threes. If you're open, shoot the basketball.
But uh, it's not even more Steph Curry. It's kind
of like more James Harden that you got a face
(10:45):
like the dribble, dribble step back threes. That's probably the
hardest thing in like control a little bit, but shooting threes.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If you can shoot, I'll let you shoot.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What was it like when Harden would get on a heater.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Oh, he was the hardest player to everguard in the
NBA besides Dereck Rose for me, because you couldn't touch him.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
He can get to the foul line at will.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
He shoot that step back through like I said, and man,
he was incredible when he was averaging like thirty five
thirty four points a game.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
There's nothing you could really do with them.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
If Derek Rose doesn't get hurt.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, he's to me. If he doesn't get hurt, he's
a top five point guard of all time.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What made him special.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
His speed, quickness, his strength, and then his ability to
make those floaters and tough shots.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And then he was fearless and he never got tired.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Literally he I mean, you know how Tims played for
fifty minutes.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's only forty eight in the game. But like, he
never got tired.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He was always ready, He never set out games, and
he was always in attack mob.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You got a good Lebron's story.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, Lebron's my favorite player all time. So beat him
in the playoff series, like never won a game, So
I got like PTSD. But he's still my favorite player
of all time. But I got a lot of slack
(12:15):
and a lot of pushback from some guys because I
pushed him into the crowd one time because we were losing.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I was a sore loser.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Wow, And uh yeah, I got a couple of death threats.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
But we're all good now.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Wait death threats.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, because they were winning the series and I think
it might have been game four and we're there, probably
like eight, and he was dribbling the ball and he
was kind of waving at the crowd, but we're at
home and the crowd was rooting for him, and I
just kind of like, nah, not here, and I pushed
him out of bounds.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
And you don't get on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
After that Lebron saying anything to you. Nah.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
He just laughed.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He kind of got up in and wiped his shoulder off.
Crowd went crazy again, and I got ejected.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But he's your favorite player instead of Jordan.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Do you ask for a jersey from Lebron?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Now I have it? I need one?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Who do you talk from? What jersey?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I got everybody from my draft class, mostly so Steph
Curry was an old nine draft guy. I got his,
and I got a bunch of my teammates. So I
got Yannis and I mean I got hundreds of jerseys,
but I never got Lebron. I'm still looking for Lebron
and Kevin Durrant.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
What what do you think happens with Yannis this offseason?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I think he stays in Milwaukee. I think his brother's
gonna come back. This is my theory. I think they're
gonna sign his brother back, and then they might sign
the older the other brother that plays overseas.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I think he just bring his whole family over there.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
He's like, Hey, if I'm gonna stay here, I have
my whole family on the team.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It feels like there's three teams interested in Durant. Where
do you think he ends up? I hope he ends
up with the Spurs.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I know it's gonna take some willing and Dylan to
get it done, but that's where I hope he ends up.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
With Houston. It wouldn't be a bad place for him.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I think they have a really exciting team, the up
and coming team, and I know he has a relationship
with MME, so I wouldn't be surprised if he went
there too.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But I would like to see him with San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
What is he eighth on the all time scoring list
something like that?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Incredible? Yeah, he's incredible. He does he doesn't tell. If
he doesn't tear as Achilles, he probably on his way
to the top five for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Top five in scoring, yeah easy. Is he a top
ten player of all time on my list? Yes?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I think he's the best scorer that the NBA has
ever seen.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean, he's almost shooting fifty forty ninety for his
career at seven foot and he shoots a lot of
jump shots.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What's the scouting report?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Just put a hand up. I was part of the game.
I was played maybe a minute when he had that
forty nine, like fifteen to ten for Brooklyn during that
playoff run, and I think that's the series.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Had he stepped on the line after made that shot.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, watching that game, I knew, like he's in. There's
nothing you can do when he wants to score the basketball.
He going to score the basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So you played one minute.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't even remember if I got in that game,
but if I did, it probably was one minute.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I probably got scored on.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So all you did is so that's your defense for
Durant to just put your hand up.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, that's all you can really do. Because he's seven footy,
shoots right over you. You just got afraid that he misses.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Hey, congrats on the success. Keep telling the great stories there.
Good luck with the high school team. I appreciate that.
That's Jeff Chegue and it's a club five twenty. He's
head coach of Pike High School in Indianapolis. Yeah, social
media always has something that they take from that show.
He's always Yeah, he's got he's always got stories and
(15:48):
he's not afraid to give an opinion as well.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes, it's like, you know, people always say, man, what
I love about your show. It's like it sounds like
me and my buddies sitting around talking. Well, it's Jeff
Tige and his buddies sitting right. And he's just he's
a great storyteller. He tells the stories from his days
playing or just coming up through high school, college in
the league.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's really really good. And he's self deprecating as well.
And I think, you know, I tell athletes or former
athletes when they want to do this. You have to
be able to speak to your audience, share with your audience,
not be afraid to have fun. And you could give opinions,
but you know, you don't have to be critical as
much as you can say I like that guy, or
(16:27):
I have a problem with that, or you know, whatever
it might be. But the more you let your audience
feel like they're eavesdropping, which is my goal with every interview,
and the more real you sound that it feels like
you're somebody's doing you a favor. There's a benefit to
listening to this because I get to hear these stories,
and that's our goal every single time we have somebody on,
(16:49):
tell me a story, entertain my audience, keep them in
their car.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Yeah, Pauling, And I think a guy like Jeff Tige,
he had a good career, but he wasn't a superstar,
so he is a little more room to breathe and
talk and analyze and tell stories because he's not worried
that if I say one thing about Durant, They're all
gonna come back after me.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
He just kind of honest, yeah, see, hey, you know it,
though he was this close to being pretty close to
a superstar in that if he he just he had
a couple of moments in his career where he chose
to go to one team instead of the other. Or
he wants told the story about how Kobe really wanted
him to go to the Lakers, but Jeff turned it
down because he didn't kind of want I think all
of the pressure that comes with the Lakers. M man,
(17:26):
that would have been I mean talk about what I
don't know what the career would look like if that
had happened.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You know, we'll take a break. Jim Gray, Hall of
Fame reporter, will join us. Coming up. Got something really
cool going on in conjunction with Tom Brady in Las
Vegas at the Fountain Blue Hotel, and he'll talk about
that and we return Dan Patrick Show.

great to see you. How long has this been in
the works.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Great to see you, Dan, Thanks for having me on
eight years. Eight years we've been talking about this and
today the public gets to share in all these great artifacts.
So it's been a long journey, a lot of twists
and turns, but here we are and hope everybody comes
and enjoys it. Get all this stuff out of people's
safety positive boxes, out of their warehouses, out of these auctions,
(18:52):
and now everybody can come see. The fans saw it
when they earned these achievements, when they produce this excellence,
and now they can share in it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Run down the list of items that people can see
at the Fountain Blue.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Muhammed Ali's road, his final robe as he got ready
for Trevor Burbeck. Kobe Bryant's first jersey that he wore
on national TV in the McDonald's All American Game. The
bat that Jackie Robinson used to break the color barrier.
All of Tom Brady's seven rings, in fact, the eight
rings including his Orange Bowl ring, his jerseys and so forth.
(19:27):
We've got Babe Ruths called shot back. We've got the
only bat that we know in existence from Joe DiMaggio's
fifty six game hitting streak, Lebron James, the basket that
was used when he broke Kareem abul Jabbar's record, the
torch that lit Muhammad Ali's torch for the Olympics. A
baseball by every president to throw out a first pitch,
(19:48):
dating all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, Oprah Winfrey's
Medal of Freedom, Clint Eastwood, Glint Eastwood's Academy Award for Unforgiven,
his first one. We have a trophy room for everything
that's competed for in Pete Samprss Wimbledon Trophy, Billy Jean
King's Wimbledon dish to Clara Jones from Tom weisbaff the
Heisman Trophy, Charles Woodson. I can go on and there's
(20:10):
three hundred artifacts. Do you want to? We got a
lot of stuff here, hell lot of stuff here.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
How long does it take to go through?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Well, Morgan Friedman is the voice of God and the
voice of the Hall of Excellence, and he takes you
through a tour and that will take you about thirty
eight minutes if you listen to Morgan. But on each
and every artifact, Dan, you can hit a button and
then you'll hear the greatest voices of our time. We
have Marv Albert for basketball and the Dream Team. We
have Bob Costas for baseball in the Olympics. We have
(20:40):
Jim Nantz for golf. We have Oprah Winfrey for the entertainment.
We have Andres Kanter who does the soccer. We have
Mike Emrick who does the hockey, and Mary Carilla for
tennis and Tom for his artifacts, me for boxing. So
you can come in here and you can be inspired,
you can be educated and hopefully entertained.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, how do you go about getting all of this stuff?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Well, that's why it's taken eight years, Dan, I've called
in every favor from everybody. And when you're calling with
Tom Brady's name attached, it opens all of the doors.
And I had a bunch of stuff that had been
given to me over the years by all of these
great athletes. And they didn't give it to me because
they wanted me to give it away or to sell it.
(21:27):
They gave it to me because they wanted me to
have it. So now I wanted to display this. I
don't have children, so there's no one to pass it
on to, So why not let the public come in
and see it and get these things into a place.
And the Fountain Blue Hotel has just been a great partner, Jeff,
sofer you stay here, you're here for the Super Bowl.
This place is spectacular and they've been a spectacular partner
(21:50):
to work with.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Is Tom Brady nostalgic? Is he a collector?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
He is? He's been collecting things since the day he
went to the catch and he came home with that
styrofoam finger number one that he was waving when Dwight
Clark caught that pass from Joe Montana. He collected cards.
He's very into this. He comes in here and he
spends hours and he's just astonished. He's moved by it
(22:15):
because you know, Tom has often said that anybody can
be great. You can be great for a game, you
can be great for a season, But what about the
sustain test of time. That's what excellence is. And it
was Al Davis who said commitment to excellence. And of
course we're here with the Raiders. Al was a dear
friend of mine and Al we'd have many many dinners,
(22:36):
hundreds of dinners back in Los Angeles when the Raiders
were there, and he once said to me he wanted
to have a Raiders Hall of Fame. And I said,
you know what, Al, great idea. You should call it
the Hall of Excellence. And he said, shimmy, that's a
pretty good idea. Unfortunately he never got to it in
his lifetime. Perhaps Mark Davis will build one here. But
that's where I came up with the germ of this
(22:57):
Hall of excellence. So I said this to Tom about
eight years ago. I said, up, we've got all this
stuff and he broke some record. I said, what do
you do with all this stuff? He said, I put
it down in my closet and I've got a storage room.
And I said, we should do this. And that's where
the germ of the idea came and that's how we've
gotten here today.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
How do you think that movie is going to portray
John Madden and Al Davis that's set to come out.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
They better get it right. They better get it right.
I hope they get it right. It's a tribute to
them that they're doing it. But if they screw around
and jag it all up and make it all wrong,
that would be a shame. But I hope that the
people who are doing it are diligent.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
And Madden's an icon. How's the only man, How's the
only man in the history of football to be a scout,
an assistant general manager, a general manager, a president, a
head coach, an assistant coach, and a commissioner. So he's
one of the clients. So I hope they get it right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And with John Madden, what do you have a ten
year career as a coach. But I like, people don't
really think of him as a coach, Like when you say, oh,
he was a great coach, and they go he coached.
They think of video games and being a broadcaster there.
But I think he won one hundred games in those
ten years.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
He was the fastest to win one hundred games and
get that percentage at the time. And yeah, we have
a tribute to John Madden. I lived at John's house.
I was like the guy who came for dinner and
never left at the Dakota when I got my first
job at NBC back in the late eighties, and so
I stayed there. Had a lot of great stories with John.
But we have a shrine to the All Madden team,
(24:34):
one of his Emmys, and his last plane ticket that
Mike and Virginia Madden gave us his last play ticket
before the advent of the train and then the Madden Cruiser,
and it's right here behind us bend.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Where is the Madden Cruiser.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I believe the Madden Cruiser is at the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in Campton, Ohio, and that they use
it as a special exhibit and toured around from time
to time and The Pro Football Hall of Fame has
been great to us. We have a deal with them
where they've given us some artist. They've been great. The
Nate Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the USGA and
the Golf Hall of Fame, and Graceland. We have something
(25:08):
for everybody. We have the very first dan. If you
walk the strip right now, it's one hundred and ten
degrees out there. If you walk the strip, you're going
to see twenty people dressed as Elvis Presley walking around. Yeah,
take their picture. We have Elvis Presley's first suit that
he wore for his first residency from Graceland and the
people at the ABG and they were just great. So
(25:29):
we had that when he appeared across the street at
the International Hotel. We also have the Beatles first poster
and program signed by them. It was three dollars to
go back on that night in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Give me the Holy Grail. What's the one item that
you're still in pursuit of.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
That's a great question. It's a great question. You know,
I'm not sure that there is something that that is.
There are a lot of things that we would you know, obviously,
we will continue and grow and always curate the museum.
You know there are a lot of great as I'm
sure you know something from Jesse Owens. We have a
changed the world right behind this wall exhibit where we
(26:07):
have Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell his MVP Award
that his wife Jenny has granted us a loan down display,
Billy Jean King her dress for her iconic dress from
the Philadelphia Freedom, Jim Brown's helmet when he broke the
record as a Cleveland Brown, and Threem Abdul Jabbar. So
(26:30):
you know, we're always looking for people who change the world.
So perhaps Jesse Owens for his great feat, so what
he did at the Berlin Olympics. And you know, right
in front of me is Simone Bias and Shoey o'canni
and Tom shoes from when he came back from twenty
eight to three. So we've got so many great items here,
but there's always room to improve. Commitment to excellence never ends, Dan.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But if Tom wants one of his Super Bowl rings,
how does he get it?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
He calls us up and he says, I want to
wear this tonight. And guess what, everybody who's loaned this,
every single person who's longest. The day they want it
back is the day we give it back. And so
Tom will come and take his ring, and you know,
we'll say temporarily unavailable, come back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Before I let you go the Pete Rose situation, I
did think about you when the commissioner said that he
would consider putting him up, you know, for Hall of
Fame or putt him on the ballot. And at the
time I thought the timing was weird. I know that
you know, we're looking at a lifetime ban, but it
wasn't it was a permanent ban. It wasn't his lifetime
(27:36):
and then they changed it to a lifetime ban, and
then there was some wiggle room President Trump's role in
this with the commissioner, and I did think of you,
of what you think. How does baseball honor Pete Rose.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Dan. I've always said this, we do not live in
the Soviet Union. Pete rose accomplishments are his accomplishments, and
we should not be trying to erase them. He did
on the field was the greatest hitter of all time
by the numbers, and that should be acknowledged, and he
should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame by the
same token while it was coupled. There's consequence for action,
(28:13):
and he walked in front of that sign. That sign
didn't say no steroids, it didn't say no domestic abuse,
it said no Gambian and he saw that sign thirty
thousand times. But it was a lifetime ban. His lifetime
is over the Hall of Fame committee now when it
reconvenes for that committee should consider him. And I believe
(28:33):
because of what he achieved, I've always said he should
be in the Hall of Fame. But it should be
noted on his flat that he was banned for baseball
due to gambling and that was a part of his
life and that should be a part of the plaque.
But yes, his records are his records. And if you
have his bat in there for breaking the record, and
you have his uniform or one of the balls or
(28:54):
whatever it is that Cooperstown displays, you know he's in
the Hall of Fame. And when his flat and when
his time is dog you know. The shame of it
is is that Pete didn't get to see it while
he was alive. That the reform that that Commissioner Giamani
asked him to reconfigure his life. You know that he
that that didn't happen, and that's and that's that, and
(29:15):
that's that for him. He's gone now and it's sad
for his family and it's just it's just all kind
of too bad because what he did on the field
and what he achieved on the field, you know, was
was so super so great.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
How do you differentiate Pete from Barry Bonds, who uh
did it on the field but under you know, certainly
a cloud of suspicion that what Pete did on the
field wasn't under suspicion, but certainly Bonds what he did.
Can you put him in the Hall of Fame? Well,
they haven't voted him and so he is at least
on the ballot, but having a plaque that says this
(29:51):
is what he was accused of or involved in, or
how do you know? How do you edit this?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Dan? I can I ask you a question? I sometimes
do that in my career. That's the capacity question. How
is Bud feeling who profiteered in a Baseball Hall of Fame?
Who stood over this, watched over, presided over all of this.
All of the guys who we presided over are banished
or not allowed come on, this is ridiculous. He got
(30:18):
called to the carpet by Congress. That's why he altered
his position, because he didn't want to lose anti trust.
And so now we put Bud Selick, who I love,
I'm personally very fond of, but I love sus Celick.
She's one of my favorite people. But come on, this
stuff's ridiculous. You can be in the Hall of Fame.
You let all of this go on, All of the
(30:38):
club's profiteered, the attendance was up, this was what. I
don't want to say it was the standard, because I
don't want to besmirch the people who didn't. But I'm
saying this was prevalent, and there are a lot of
guys who are under this cloud. And so I would
hope that at some point Baseball would find a way
to have the grace to say this was a part
of our life. Let's denote it, show it, let's explain it,
(31:02):
and let's move on. Barry Bonds was great long before
anything that he was accused of. Okay, so I believe
he belongs in the Hall of Fame. That's my personal opinion.
I don't like anybody who cheats. I don't like anybody
who stirts the rules. I don't like when it's under
a cloud of suspicion or that somebody has an advantage.
But I think when it's prevalent and the commissioner is
(31:24):
allowed to be in the Hall of Fame, than the
people who are doing it to have that same consideration. Yeah,
I know that's what I would think.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, I don't want to be holier than now. But
I did think when Bud Seely was going to go
into the Hall of Fame, that you say no, because
you have to acknowledge what happened under your leadership exactly
or exactly or put it on his plaque. And you're right,
Bud Ceiliing. I love Bud. His wife is very nice
(31:55):
and a frequent listener of the show. But I thought
maybe you'd say, hey, I was the guy in charge
of this. Now. He wasn't as strong as Donald fear
in the Players Association. He told me that numerous times.
He said, there's only so much I can do, and
that's why he started really going after testing in the
minor leagues. But still it's under your watch that this happened.
(32:16):
One of the darkest eras in Major League Baseball history.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Can before we go. Sure, we're a great voice. What
you did for John Facinda, Brett Musberger. Dan, you you

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Yes, Paul Dodgers versus the Padres, past couple of.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Days, Yes, it's gotten a little chick, a little chippy.
I want to pitch this to you. Okay.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Should there be a rule in baseball that you can't
throw at Otani? Yes, and I'm only being a little facetious.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yes, there should be Aaron judge and show hey Tani,
you're not allowed to throw at like a commissioners.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we have our own commissioners
except list.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, we can have one in Baseball Commissioners Exempt List,
you are exempt from hitting either one of those guys
for the best interest to baseball, don't hit them. A
you got a problem with them.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
Well, Tani took one hundred mile an hour fastball to
his shoulder blade accurate, that goes up six inches, that
goes by his hands.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
He's out from month. Fernando Tatis Junior has been hit
by the Dodgers five times. He's been a He's been
hit by a pitch twenty six times in his career,
six of those times by Dodgers pitchers. No other team
has hit Tatis more than four times.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
Stalaadez stand Staladay.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
This is the Stalaanda Yes, Marvin stat of the day,
brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yes, Marvin, are the Padres and the Dodgers a semi rival?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They can't be their main rival. They're not the Giants
and the Dodgers, correct, But they want to be rivalry
s Yeah, Padres want to be Well, that would be
their rival, whereas the Dodgers it's the Giants. But yeah,
I'm gonna talk to the commissioner that you're not allowed
to throw at Otani and Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts wanted
a piece of somebody. I think he basically said I'm
(37:57):
gonna I want to I'm gonna beat your Yeah, not
basically yes, what did they just let him go? Like,
let's let the let's settle this real quick. Let the
two managers, two managers go at it. They're wearing athletic gear. Yeah,
I don't know if it's protective athletic gear though. Chris
and Syracuse, Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Thanks Dan?
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Hey, it just said a little question for you. After
Jim Gray interview. You guys were talking John mad and
I too. I always thought it was pretty amazing for
being such a great football coach to be known for
announcing that. I guess that tells you what kind of
announcer he was. And when I was a little kid,
I loved Pat Summer on tom Brookshire. And then some
aer On and man got together and I'm wondering, what
do you think. Do you think there's a better duel
(38:41):
or anybody even close as far as announcers over the years.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Oh boy, you know, it's it's open to interpretation. It's
the taste that you like. I think with social media
it's tougher to be beloved the way it used to be.
You know, Chris Colin is where it does it. I mean,
he's won almost as many Sports Emmys as Bob Costas has.
I mean, I think Chris is won like nineteen or
(39:08):
something crazy. He's really really skilled at what he does.
But social media, everybody's got an opinion, and they would
probably have an opinion with you know, Madden in summer. Aw,
I'm guessing you know, Troy and Joe do a wonderful job.
But it's social media. It almost feels like you have
to have an opinion on somebody. Yeah, there's there's way
(39:30):
too many that I've appreciated over the years in all sports.
Jay and Delaware, Hi Jay, Hey.
Speaker 11 (39:38):
Dan, happy to meet Friday to you and the fellows.
I was calling because last night I was a bit worried.
Saw a report before the game that Tyres had knocked
down fifteen straight threes and then all of a sudden
they missed their first aid shots. I almost turned the
game off. But you can't win a championship these days
without a deep, deep bench and without good depth. DJ
(39:58):
mcconnallls proof. Then Shepherd had a moment last night and
TJ is two the Pacers. What Caruso was to the
Lakers back in twenty twenty. He's just a news sense
on defense and when he finds his shot, he finds
his shot and.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
He's not afraid. And Jay, thank you, thanks for holding
Yeah having a bench. Go back to when Joker and
the Nuggets won. They won because of the bench. Yeah,
Marvin and TJ.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
McConnell's been around for a while, so he's not afraid
of anybody.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
He was on those processed sixers teams. He is the
anchor of the nightly news on NBC. Tom Yamis is
here in studio gonna talk being a big network anchor.
What happens disaster, what happens now? If something happened? Has
he got to get on the road. Final hour in
this Meet Friday, right after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
At that case, you're wondering on the Traeger grills, pork belly,
bond me sandwiches, Vietnamese summer rolls, and coconut fried rice.
Who has it better than we do? No stat of
the Day has always brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. I've been talking
about the Indiana bench forty eight points. They got forty
(00:28):
nine points in Game three, and we have not seen
this in the last forty years. This is the most
points from a team's bench in the NBA Finals in
the last forty years. They've also won three games. They've
been the underdog in three of those games, every game
so far, and this ties the Raptors for the most
(00:49):
finals wins by an underdog since two thousand and eight.
Pole question today, our two is going to be what
Seaton counter.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hold on one second?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Let me get that for you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Led me.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're going with the Pascal Siakam Hall of Fame, Hall
of Very.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Good if he wins the title.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
If he wins the title, is he in the Hall
of Fame or the Hall of very Good?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Two titles and an MVP in the NBA Finals if
they would win on Sunday night. Corrects. Okac favored by
eight and a half, eight seven to seven. Three. DP
show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show.
Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner,
download the app if you haven't done so, so there
(01:40):
will be a game seven and Okasee favored by eight
and a half. Let's bring in Jeff Tige, former champion
with the Bucks. He's the head coach of Pike High
School in Indianapolis's alma mater. A couple think an All
Star in twenty fifteen, former first round pick of the Hawks.
Eight podcasts By the way, UH five twenty in the morning.
(02:04):
So Jeff Tigue joins us on the program. What happened
last night? Why did Indiana dominate Club five twenty? I
should say, uh.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Indiana played with a lot of energy. Like you said,
the bench was fantastic. They've been fantastic all series. But
they played with so much energy. You can tell that
they really wanted to get the win last night.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But when you go to the bench, like if you're
a coach and you know your bench is your strength
or one of your strength. Can you go to the
bench too soon in a situation like that?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah, But I think that's what makes Indiana a great team,
Like they can go to their bench early and they
know they're gonna get some effective play.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Nash if we call him TJ McConnell, and he played
so well. I mean, he comes off the bench with
so much energy, and he changed the dynamic of the
game every time he steps on the floor. So when
you know you had that boda energy coming off the bench,
it's never too late to put him in.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He gets paid to be annoying, doesn't he.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, what's it like when you face that annoying guy,
that hustle guy never quits high motor.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, you kinda he kind of pits
you on your toes a little bit. Like you know,
he's gonna come in with that energy. You gotta protect
the ball. So as soon as he checks in, you like,
here we go, they're come to TASMANI and double. He's
gonna be all over the floor. He's gonna be everywhere.
And playing against him was annoying. But watching him playing
and probably like his teammates probably love him for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Explain the defense with the Pacers. We talk about Okayc's defense,
but you're turning. You know, Shay had eight turnovers. Yeah,
I mean they that's not typical. So what happened last
night that kind of turned them into a turnover machine?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Indiana was flying around, they were on a string.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And they're not known for being really a physical team
throughout the regular season, but this playoffs matchups, they've been
so physical and attacking the ball and they're making him
shasy bodies. I mean, Nimhrt did a wonderful job last
night staying in front of him, trying.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
To make him make tough shots.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
But every time he was spind or go behind his bag,
he will be a second defender there. And they played
a team defense last night. Myles Turner was big in
the paint. It was just an overall great team effort.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And now the pressure on game in game seven on okay,
shit right all on?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
See, I mean they played really well at home, we
know that, but a couple of those shots missed early
in that game, it could get a little spooky. I
think the Pacers are playing with a lot of confidence.
They really don't have anything to lose. Everybody expects them
to lose on a Game seven on the road, so
they're probably gonna play free. I can imagine Tyreez Aliburn
(04:44):
having a big game. I'm actually taking the Pacers in
this game.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Okay, did you have the pacers from the beginning, because
you know, oh you get okay she okay.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, I had Okay, see, but I told some of
the guys that on the podcast with me, if it
made it to a Game seven, I was going to
take the pacers just because I know the pressures that
could be on in the game seven.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Playing through an injury, Halliburton played what twenty three minutes. Yeah,
because that kind of injury, you'd probably be missing games
during the regular season. But you can't sit down, go
back in, go sit down. Like it felt like Carlisle
is gonna go. I'll get as much as I can
for as long as I can. And I don't know
(05:25):
if three days of rest how that impacts that kind
of injury, if at all.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Probably not. I mean, he probably need a couple of
weeks to get back healthy.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
But I just think that that spirit, that toughness that
he's playing through it I think it went throughout the
whole team, and you can see how they were playing.
They were all connected and it was like they were
they had one goals to get to that Game seven,
and I think they kind of carry that energy over
its in Game seven. I think the passers can take it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Jeff chiegu won a championship with the Bucks in twenty
twenty one, head coach of Pike High School in the
Indian amplush his alma mater in his podcast Club five twenty.
You tell great stories. You you're not afraid to tell
great stories. Give me the story that probably got the
most reaction after you told it on your podcast.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Probably the Jimmy Butler story.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Jimmy Butler he had an episode, I would say, during
practice where he kind of went off on everybody and
he ended up playing us with like some of the
guys from the G League and beating us and telling
us about it, and I kind of teld the backstory
to it all, and then he got traded.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So it was just a whole funny scenario.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Wait, so he's just he's taking names, like he's he's
going at you guys and bringing in guy to prove
that he can doesn't matter who he has, he's going
to beat you.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, he just wanted to He wanted to get paid,
and basically he was looking to get that extension and
he didn't get the extension he wanted, so he came
in and he was trying to wreck shop and he
pointed out guys from the front office to the coaching
staff to players on the team, and he just.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Went at everybody.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
And he had a moment in practice and he was
he was killing and he was letting it be known.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Is he crazy or calculated?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Calculated? It's not crazy at all.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
But he's gonna get what he wants and he's gonna
go to whatever extreme measures he needs to to get
what he wants.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You ever play against the guy who made you a
little nervous that he was kind of crazy. Wasn't all there?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Uh yeah, Reggie Evans, he scared me a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Why, I'm not gonna say he wasn't all there.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But he just he was physical and it just seemed
like he wanted to smoke anytime. So I had a
college teammate named James johnsonho plays for the Pacers, and
practice sometimes you would think he was all there, but
he's very intelligent, very locked in, but he can get
he can get going a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
What was your welcome to the NBA moment? Welcome to
the NBA?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Uh I came to say his name, No stro and
the sturbage Yo bowed me in the nose for trying to.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Dunk on them. That was my welcome to the NBA.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And what did you do?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Nothing? Help held the town to my nose.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
So no words, you're exchanged, nah, Like he just he
kind of apologized to me, was like, Hey, you're not
gonna be able to dunk in this league.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Man, I just help my you know what I mean?
Nothing I can really do.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
What's it like to guard Steph Curry?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I told a story about that on the podcast. In
a preseason game. We went to China for a preseason
game when I was in Minnesota, and you know, it's
a preseason game. We're all having a good fun and
he's like, before the game, let's play serious. It's like,
get a good run in the night, y'all. So we're like, okay,
and he ended up scoring forty something points on me
in front of thirty forty thousand people. I was so mad.
(08:59):
If I could have false currying that would have fault him.
But no, he's incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But when do you know, like, is there any indication
when somebody gets on one of those heaters and you
just know it doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, with him, when he when he starts dancing and
you know, doing all the simi and stuff, you know
pretty much you in trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And then the mouthpiece comes out right in front of you.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
You get the running around and Draymond Green get to
set in that legal screen.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
WHOA. But you want Draymond on your team, right for sure.
But he's but he's a dirty player.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No, I wouldn't call him dirty. I think he just
plays hard.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah you would. You'd call him dirty.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Everybody.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Everybody got a little dirty.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
He's just been televised.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I would say, well, we do focus on him, but
it feels like whatever it takes, he's he's going to do.
But he he made himself into a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, I mean he does all the little things.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
He's a phenomenal defender, he can guard one through five,
great playmaker. But he's that guy you want on your team.
But you definitely hate playing against him.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
But you're the coach in high school now, and I'm
curious about this Steph Curry impact on high school basketball.
How much do you coach or coach against that style
of basketball?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Uh, nobody can shoot like Steph Curry. So that's the
first problem. Yeah, but they think they can. Yeah, that's
the that's the biggest problem. So everybody wants to shoot threes.
I'm not against taking threes. If you're open, shoot the basketball.
But uh, it's not even more Steph Curry. It's kind
of like more James Harden that you got a face
(10:45):
like the dribble, dribble step back threes. That's probably the
hardest thing in like control a little bit, but shooting threes.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If you can shoot, I'll let you shoot.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What was it like when Harden would get on a heater.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Oh, he was the hardest player to everguard in the
NBA besides Dereck Rose for me, because you couldn't touch him.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
He can get to the foul line at will.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
He shoot that step back through like I said, and man,
he was incredible when he was averaging like thirty five
thirty four points a game.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
There's nothing you could really do with them.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
If Derek Rose doesn't get hurt.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, he's to me. If he doesn't get hurt, he's
a top five point guard of all time.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What made him special.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
His speed, quickness, his strength, and then his ability to
make those floaters and tough shots.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And then he was fearless and he never got tired.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Literally he I mean, you know how Tims played for
fifty minutes.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's only forty eight in the game. But like, he
never got tired.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He was always ready, He never set out games, and
he was always in attack mob.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You got a good Lebron's story.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, Lebron's my favorite player all time. So beat him
in the playoff series, like never won a game, So
I got like PTSD. But he's still my favorite player
of all time. But I got a lot of slack
(12:15):
and a lot of pushback from some guys because I
pushed him into the crowd one time because we were losing.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I was a sore loser.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Wow, And uh yeah, I got a couple of death threats.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
But we're all good now.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Wait death threats.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, because they were winning the series and I think
it might have been game four and we're there, probably
like eight, and he was dribbling the ball and he
was kind of waving at the crowd, but we're at
home and the crowd was rooting for him, and I
just kind of like, nah, not here, and I pushed
him out of bounds.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
And you don't get on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
After that Lebron saying anything to you. Nah.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
He just laughed.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He kind of got up in and wiped his shoulder off.
Crowd went crazy again, and I got ejected.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But he's your favorite player instead of Jordan.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Do you ask for a jersey from Lebron?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Now I have it? I need one?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Who do you talk from? What jersey?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
I got everybody from my draft class, mostly so Steph
Curry was an old nine draft guy. I got his,
and I got a bunch of my teammates. So I
got Yannis and I mean I got hundreds of jerseys,
but I never got Lebron. I'm still looking for Lebron
and Kevin Durrant.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
What what do you think happens with Yannis this offseason?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I think he stays in Milwaukee. I think his brother's
gonna come back. This is my theory. I think they're
gonna sign his brother back, and then they might sign
the older the other brother that plays overseas.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I think he just bring his whole family over there.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
He's like, Hey, if I'm gonna stay here, I have
my whole family on the team.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It feels like there's three teams interested in Durant. Where
do you think he ends up? I hope he ends
up with the Spurs.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I know it's gonna take some willing and Dylan to
get it done, but that's where I hope he ends up.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
With Houston. It wouldn't be a bad place for him.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I think they have a really exciting team, the up
and coming team, and I know he has a relationship
with MME, so I wouldn't be surprised if he went
there too.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But I would like to see him with San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
What is he eighth on the all time scoring list
something like that?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Incredible? Yeah, he's incredible. He does he doesn't tell. If
he doesn't tear as Achilles, he probably on his way
to the top five for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Top five in scoring, yeah easy. Is he a top
ten player of all time on my list? Yes?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I think he's the best scorer that the NBA has
ever seen.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean, he's almost shooting fifty forty ninety for his
career at seven foot and he shoots a lot of
jump shots.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What's the scouting report?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Just put a hand up. I was part of the game.
I was played maybe a minute when he had that
forty nine, like fifteen to ten for Brooklyn during that
playoff run, and I think that's the series.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Had he stepped on the line after made that shot.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, watching that game, I knew, like he's in. There's
nothing you can do when he wants to score the basketball.
He going to score the basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So you played one minute.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't even remember if I got in that game,
but if I did, it probably was one minute.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I probably got scored on.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So all you did is so that's your defense for
Durant to just put your hand up.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, that's all you can really do. Because he's seven footy,
shoots right over you. You just got afraid that he misses.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Hey, congrats on the success. Keep telling the great stories there.
Good luck with the high school team. I appreciate that.
That's Jeff Chegue and it's a club five twenty. He's
head coach of Pike High School in Indianapolis. Yeah, social
media always has something that they take from that show.
He's always Yeah, he's got he's always got stories and
(15:48):
he's not afraid to give an opinion as well.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yes, it's like, you know, people always say, man, what
I love about your show. It's like it sounds like
me and my buddies sitting around talking. Well, it's Jeff
Tige and his buddies sitting right. And he's just he's
a great storyteller. He tells the stories from his days
playing or just coming up through high school, college in
the league.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's really really good. And he's self deprecating as well.
And I think, you know, I tell athletes or former
athletes when they want to do this. You have to
be able to speak to your audience, share with your audience,
not be afraid to have fun. And you could give opinions,
but you know, you don't have to be critical as
much as you can say I like that guy, or
(16:27):
I have a problem with that, or you know, whatever
it might be. But the more you let your audience
feel like they're eavesdropping, which is my goal with every interview,
and the more real you sound that it feels like
you're somebody's doing you a favor. There's a benefit to
listening to this because I get to hear these stories,
and that's our goal every single time we have somebody on,
(16:49):
tell me a story, entertain my audience, keep them in
their car.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Yeah, Pauling, And I think a guy like Jeff Tige,
he had a good career, but he wasn't a superstar,
so he is a little more room to breathe and
talk and analyze and tell stories because he's not worried
that if I say one thing about Durant, They're all
gonna come back after me.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
He just kind of honest, yeah, see, hey, you know it,
though he was this close to being pretty close to
a superstar in that if he he just he had
a couple of moments in his career where he chose
to go to one team instead of the other. Or
he wants told the story about how Kobe really wanted
him to go to the Lakers, but Jeff turned it
down because he didn't kind of want I think all
of the pressure that comes with the Lakers. M man,
(17:26):
that would have been I mean talk about what I
don't know what the career would look like if that
had happened.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You know, we'll take a break. Jim Gray, Hall of
Fame reporter, will join us. Coming up. Got something really
cool going on in conjunction with Tom Brady in Las
Vegas at the Fountain Blue Hotel, and he'll talk about
that and we return Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Hall of Famer. So why not have a Hall of Excellence?
Jim Gray, the co host Let's Go podcast, Hall of
Excellence Museum partnering with Tom Brady, and when we were
out at the Super Bowl, they announced that they were
going to have this Hall of Excellence at the Fountain
Blue in Las Vegas. Are Home away from Home, the
newest luxury hotel on the Strip. And Jim joining us
(18:21):
as they get ready for the grand opening today. Jim,
great to see you. How long has this been in
the works.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Great to see you, Dan, Thanks for having me on
eight years. Eight years we've been talking about this and
today the public gets to share in all these great artifacts.
So it's been a long journey, a lot of twists
and turns, but here we are and hope everybody comes
and enjoys it. Get all this stuff out of people's
safety positive boxes, out of their warehouses, out of these auctions,
(18:52):
and now everybody can come see. The fans saw it
when they earned these achievements, when they produce this excellence,
and now they can share in it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Run down the list of items that people can see
at the Fountain Blue.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Muhammed Ali's road, his final robe as he got ready
for Trevor Burbeck. Kobe Bryant's first jersey that he wore
on national TV in the McDonald's All American Game. The
bat that Jackie Robinson used to break the color barrier.
All of Tom Brady's seven rings, in fact, the eight
rings including his Orange Bowl ring, his jerseys and so forth.
(19:27):
We've got Babe Ruths called shot back. We've got the
only bat that we know in existence from Joe DiMaggio's
fifty six game hitting streak, Lebron James, the basket that
was used when he broke Kareem abul Jabbar's record, the
torch that lit Muhammad Ali's torch for the Olympics. A
baseball by every president to throw out a first pitch,
(19:48):
dating all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, Oprah Winfrey's
Medal of Freedom, Clint Eastwood, Glint Eastwood's Academy Award for Unforgiven,
his first one. We have a trophy room for everything
that's competed for in Pete Samprss Wimbledon Trophy, Billy Jean
King's Wimbledon dish to Clara Jones from Tom weisbaff the
Heisman Trophy, Charles Woodson. I can go on and there's
(20:10):
three hundred artifacts. Do you want to? We got a
lot of stuff here, hell lot of stuff here.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
How long does it take to go through?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Well, Morgan Friedman is the voice of God and the
voice of the Hall of Excellence, and he takes you
through a tour and that will take you about thirty
eight minutes if you listen to Morgan. But on each
and every artifact, Dan, you can hit a button and
then you'll hear the greatest voices of our time. We
have Marv Albert for basketball and the Dream Team. We
have Bob Costas for baseball in the Olympics. We have
(20:40):
Jim Nantz for golf. We have Oprah Winfrey for the entertainment.
We have Andres Kanter who does the soccer. We have
Mike Emrick who does the hockey, and Mary Carilla for
tennis and Tom for his artifacts, me for boxing. So
you can come in here and you can be inspired,
you can be educated and hopefully entertained.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, how do you go about getting all of this stuff?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Well, that's why it's taken eight years, Dan, I've called
in every favor from everybody. And when you're calling with
Tom Brady's name attached, it opens all of the doors.
And I had a bunch of stuff that had been
given to me over the years by all of these
great athletes. And they didn't give it to me because
they wanted me to give it away or to sell it.
(21:27):
They gave it to me because they wanted me to
have it. So now I wanted to display this. I
don't have children, so there's no one to pass it
on to, So why not let the public come in
and see it and get these things into a place.
And the Fountain Blue Hotel has just been a great partner, Jeff,
sofer you stay here, you're here for the Super Bowl.
This place is spectacular and they've been a spectacular partner
(21:50):
to work with.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Is Tom Brady nostalgic? Is he a collector?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
He is? He's been collecting things since the day he
went to the catch and he came home with that
styrofoam finger number one that he was waving when Dwight
Clark caught that pass from Joe Montana. He collected cards.
He's very into this. He comes in here and he
spends hours and he's just astonished. He's moved by it
(22:15):
because you know, Tom has often said that anybody can
be great. You can be great for a game, you
can be great for a season, But what about the
sustain test of time. That's what excellence is. And it
was Al Davis who said commitment to excellence. And of
course we're here with the Raiders. Al was a dear
friend of mine and Al we'd have many many dinners,
(22:36):
hundreds of dinners back in Los Angeles when the Raiders
were there, and he once said to me he wanted
to have a Raiders Hall of Fame. And I said,
you know what, Al, great idea. You should call it
the Hall of Excellence. And he said, shimmy, that's a
pretty good idea. Unfortunately he never got to it in
his lifetime. Perhaps Mark Davis will build one here. But
that's where I came up with the germ of this
(22:57):
Hall of excellence. So I said this to Tom about
eight years ago. I said, up, we've got all this
stuff and he broke some record. I said, what do
you do with all this stuff? He said, I put
it down in my closet and I've got a storage room.
And I said, we should do this. And that's where
the germ of the idea came and that's how we've
gotten here today.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
How do you think that movie is going to portray
John Madden and Al Davis that's set to come out.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
They better get it right. They better get it right.
I hope they get it right. It's a tribute to
them that they're doing it. But if they screw around
and jag it all up and make it all wrong,
that would be a shame. But I hope that the
people who are doing it are diligent.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
And Madden's an icon. How's the only man, How's the
only man in the history of football to be a scout,
an assistant general manager, a general manager, a president, a
head coach, an assistant coach, and a commissioner. So he's
one of the clients. So I hope they get it right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And with John Madden, what do you have a ten
year career as a coach. But I like, people don't
really think of him as a coach, Like when you say, oh,
he was a great coach, and they go he coached.
They think of video games and being a broadcaster there.
But I think he won one hundred games in those
ten years.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
He was the fastest to win one hundred games and
get that percentage at the time. And yeah, we have
a tribute to John Madden. I lived at John's house.
I was like the guy who came for dinner and
never left at the Dakota when I got my first
job at NBC back in the late eighties, and so
I stayed there. Had a lot of great stories with John.
But we have a shrine to the All Madden team,
(24:34):
one of his Emmys, and his last plane ticket that
Mike and Virginia Madden gave us his last play ticket
before the advent of the train and then the Madden Cruiser,
and it's right here behind us bend.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Where is the Madden Cruiser.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I believe the Madden Cruiser is at the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in Campton, Ohio, and that they use
it as a special exhibit and toured around from time
to time and The Pro Football Hall of Fame has
been great to us. We have a deal with them
where they've given us some artist. They've been great. The
Nate Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the USGA and
the Golf Hall of Fame, and Graceland. We have something
(25:08):
for everybody. We have the very first dan. If you
walk the strip right now, it's one hundred and ten
degrees out there. If you walk the strip, you're going
to see twenty people dressed as Elvis Presley walking around. Yeah,
take their picture. We have Elvis Presley's first suit that
he wore for his first residency from Graceland and the
people at the ABG and they were just great. So
(25:29):
we had that when he appeared across the street at
the International Hotel. We also have the Beatles first poster
and program signed by them. It was three dollars to
go back on that night in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Give me the Holy Grail. What's the one item that
you're still in pursuit of.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
That's a great question. It's a great question. You know,
I'm not sure that there is something that that is.
There are a lot of things that we would you know, obviously,
we will continue and grow and always curate the museum.
You know there are a lot of great as I'm
sure you know something from Jesse Owens. We have a
changed the world right behind this wall exhibit where we
(26:07):
have Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell his MVP Award
that his wife Jenny has granted us a loan down display,
Billy Jean King her dress for her iconic dress from
the Philadelphia Freedom, Jim Brown's helmet when he broke the
record as a Cleveland Brown, and Threem Abdul Jabbar. So
(26:30):
you know, we're always looking for people who change the world.
So perhaps Jesse Owens for his great feat, so what
he did at the Berlin Olympics. And you know, right
in front of me is Simone Bias and Shoey o'canni
and Tom shoes from when he came back from twenty
eight to three. So we've got so many great items here,
but there's always room to improve. Commitment to excellence never ends, Dan.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But if Tom wants one of his Super Bowl rings,
how does he get it?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
He calls us up and he says, I want to
wear this tonight. And guess what, everybody who's loaned this,
every single person who's longest. The day they want it
back is the day we give it back. And so
Tom will come and take his ring, and you know,
we'll say temporarily unavailable, come back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Before I let you go the Pete Rose situation, I
did think about you when the commissioner said that he
would consider putting him up, you know, for Hall of
Fame or putt him on the ballot. And at the
time I thought the timing was weird. I know that
you know, we're looking at a lifetime ban, but it
wasn't it was a permanent ban. It wasn't his lifetime
(27:36):
and then they changed it to a lifetime ban, and
then there was some wiggle room President Trump's role in
this with the commissioner, and I did think of you,
of what you think. How does baseball honor Pete Rose.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Dan. I've always said this, we do not live in
the Soviet Union. Pete rose accomplishments are his accomplishments, and
we should not be trying to erase them. He did
on the field was the greatest hitter of all time
by the numbers, and that should be acknowledged, and he
should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame by the
same token while it was coupled. There's consequence for action,
(28:13):
and he walked in front of that sign. That sign
didn't say no steroids, it didn't say no domestic abuse,
it said no Gambian and he saw that sign thirty
thousand times. But it was a lifetime ban. His lifetime
is over the Hall of Fame committee now when it
reconvenes for that committee should consider him. And I believe
(28:33):
because of what he achieved, I've always said he should
be in the Hall of Fame. But it should be
noted on his flat that he was banned for baseball
due to gambling and that was a part of his
life and that should be a part of the plaque.
But yes, his records are his records. And if you
have his bat in there for breaking the record, and
you have his uniform or one of the balls or
(28:54):
whatever it is that Cooperstown displays, you know he's in
the Hall of Fame. And when his flat and when
his time is dog you know. The shame of it
is is that Pete didn't get to see it while
he was alive. That the reform that that Commissioner Giamani
asked him to reconfigure his life. You know that he
that that didn't happen, and that's and that's that, and
(29:15):
that's that for him. He's gone now and it's sad
for his family and it's just it's just all kind
of too bad because what he did on the field
and what he achieved on the field, you know, was
was so super so great.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
How do you differentiate Pete from Barry Bonds, who uh
did it on the field but under you know, certainly
a cloud of suspicion that what Pete did on the
field wasn't under suspicion, but certainly Bonds what he did.
Can you put him in the Hall of Fame? Well,
they haven't voted him and so he is at least
on the ballot, but having a plaque that says this
(29:51):
is what he was accused of or involved in, or
how do you know? How do you edit this?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Dan? I can I ask you a question? I sometimes
do that in my career. That's the capacity question. How
is Bud feeling who profiteered in a Baseball Hall of Fame?
Who stood over this, watched over, presided over all of this.
All of the guys who we presided over are banished
or not allowed come on, this is ridiculous. He got
(30:18):
called to the carpet by Congress. That's why he altered
his position, because he didn't want to lose anti trust.
And so now we put Bud Selick, who I love,
I'm personally very fond of, but I love sus Celick.
She's one of my favorite people. But come on, this
stuff's ridiculous. You can be in the Hall of Fame.
You let all of this go on, All of the
(30:38):
club's profiteered, the attendance was up, this was what. I
don't want to say it was the standard, because I
don't want to besmirch the people who didn't. But I'm
saying this was prevalent, and there are a lot of
guys who are under this cloud. And so I would
hope that at some point Baseball would find a way
to have the grace to say this was a part
of our life. Let's denote it, show it, let's explain it,
(31:02):
and let's move on. Barry Bonds was great long before
anything that he was accused of. Okay, so I believe
he belongs in the Hall of Fame. That's my personal opinion.
I don't like anybody who cheats. I don't like anybody
who stirts the rules. I don't like when it's under
a cloud of suspicion or that somebody has an advantage.
But I think when it's prevalent and the commissioner is
(31:24):
allowed to be in the Hall of Fame, than the
people who are doing it to have that same consideration. Yeah,
I know that's what I would think.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, I don't want to be holier than now. But
I did think when Bud Seely was going to go
into the Hall of Fame, that you say no, because
you have to acknowledge what happened under your leadership exactly
or exactly or put it on his plaque. And you're right,
Bud Ceiliing. I love Bud. His wife is very nice
(31:55):
and a frequent listener of the show. But I thought
maybe you'd say, hey, I was the guy in charge
of this. Now. He wasn't as strong as Donald fear
in the Players Association. He told me that numerous times.
He said, there's only so much I can do, and
that's why he started really going after testing in the
minor leagues. But still it's under your watch that this happened.
(32:16):
One of the darkest eras in Major League Baseball history.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Can before we go. Sure, we're a great voice. What
you did for John Facinda, Brett Musberger. Dan, you you

Days, Yes, it's gotten a little chick, a little chippy.
I want to pitch this to you. Okay.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Should there be a rule in baseball that you can't
throw at Otani? Yes, and I'm only being a little facetious.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yes, there should be Aaron judge and show hey Tani,
you're not allowed to throw at like a commissioners.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we have our own commissioners
except list.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, we can have one in Baseball Commissioners Exempt List,

for the best interest to baseball, don't hit them. A
you got a problem with them.
Speaker 7 (36:52):

his shoulder blade accurate, that goes up six inches, that
goes by his hands.

He's out from month. Fernando Tatis Junior has been hit
by the Dodgers five times. He's been a He's been
hit by a pitch twenty six times in his career,
six of those times by Dodgers pitchers. No other team
has hit Tatis more than four times.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
Stalaadez stand Staladay.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
This is the Stalaanda Yes, Marvin stat of the day,
brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yes, Marvin, are the Padres and the Dodgers a semi rival?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They can't be their main rival. They're not the Giants
and the Dodgers, correct, But they want to be rivalry
s Yeah, Padres want to be Well, that would be
their rival, whereas the Dodgers it's the Giants. But yeah,
I'm gonna talk to the commissioner that you're not allowed
to throw at Otani and Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts wanted
a piece of somebody. I think he basically said I'm
(37:57):
gonna I want to I'm gonna beat your Yeah, not
basically yes, what did they just let him go? Like,
let's let the let's settle this real quick. Let the
two managers, two managers go at it. They're wearing athletic gear. Yeah,
I don't know if it's protective athletic gear though. Chris
and Syracuse, Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Thanks Dan?
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Hey, it just said a little question for you. After
Jim Gray interview. You guys were talking John mad and
I too. I always thought it was pretty amazing for
being such a great football coach to be known for
announcing that. I guess that tells you what kind of
announcer he was. And when I was a little kid,
I loved Pat Summer on tom Brookshire. And then some
aer On and man got together and I'm wondering, what
do you think. Do you think there's a better duel
(38:41):
or anybody even close as far as announcers over the years.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Oh boy, you know, it's it's open to interpretation. It's
the taste that you like. I think with social media
it's tougher to be beloved the way it used to be.
You know, Chris Colin is where it does it. I mean,
he's won almost as many Sports Emmys as Bob Costas has.
I mean, I think Chris is won like nineteen or
(39:08):
something crazy. He's really really skilled at what he does.
But social media, everybody's got an opinion, and they would
probably have an opinion with you know, Madden in summer. Aw,
I'm guessing you know, Troy and Joe do a wonderful job.
But it's social media. It almost feels like you have
to have an opinion on somebody. Yeah, there's there's way
(39:30):
too many that I've appreciated over the years in all sports.
Jay and Delaware, Hi Jay, Hey.
Speaker 11 (39:38):
Dan, happy to meet Friday to you and the fellows.
I was calling because last night I was a bit worried.
Saw a report before the game that Tyres had knocked
down fifteen straight threes and then all of a sudden
they missed their first aid shots. I almost turned the
game off. But you can't win a championship these days
without a deep, deep bench and without good depth. DJ
(39:58):
mcconnallls proof. Then Shepherd had a moment last night and
TJ is two the Pacers. What Caruso was to the
Lakers back in twenty twenty. He's just a news sense
on defense and when he finds his shot, he finds
his shot and.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
He's not afraid. And Jay, thank you, thanks for holding
Yeah having a bench. Go back to when Joker and
the Nuggets won. They won because of the bench. Yeah,
Marvin and TJ.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
McConnell's been around for a while, so he's not afraid
of anybody.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
He was on those processed sixers teams. He is the
anchor of the nightly news on NBC. Tom Yamis is
here in studio gonna talk being a big network anchor.
What happens disaster, what happens now? If something happened? Has
he got to get on the road. Final hour in
this Meet Friday, right after this
