Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour in.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This Wednesday Dan and the dan En dan Patrick Show,
it feels like we're sports complaining today. Does it feel
like that that everybody's got kind of a gripe here?
And we were talking about Michael Jordan. He was talking
about load management. Is there any way that we can
solve this? And I don't think there is. It just
(00:25):
it's today's player. Today's player is taking care of today's player,
not necessarily team first, individual first. And there's so much
money to be made. You want to extend your career.
Maybe you get a couple more years out of it,
and that could be another forty million dollars when you
think about it, So the investment is in you now.
(00:46):
I hope we don't have more Kawhi Leonards. From the
standpoint of if he plays, I'm surprised and he's going
to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. It's weird
when you think of careers, like if I say Kawhi Leonard,
what's the first thing comes to mind? Marvin?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Load management?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, that shouldn't be the first thing you think of
when you think of a Hall of Famer. Yeah, I
get it.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm different and I'm not thinking about things the same way.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
But the first thing that comes to mind when I
think of Kawhi Leonard is him laughing that.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Song the theme.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Okay, it's like the best video.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What did Kawi do last night? Did he play last night?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Checking?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
See, we don't even know if you played.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They only scored like eighty three points or something.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
You know what else, though, I do, even before I
think of load management, I think of him hitting that
shot sort of over the backboard.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Is yeah, falling into the crowd. That's an all time
great moment.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I do think about that play. Winning a championship with Toronto,
But he was such a great story in San Antonio,
and it was like that guy's really good and on
a team that was really good, and then he was
a finals MVP, and then all of a sudden it
got weird in San Antonio. And then he's seeing a
doctor I think in New York, and then there was
(02:10):
a falling out and then next thing you know, he's
playing elsewhere. But I can't think of somebody elsewhere you go.
You know what comes to mind? Load management, not something
great that happened, yes, Marvin, But you.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Know, I think load management was a big thing in Toronto. Also,
I think he played maybe fifty nine or sixty games
to hold him for the postseason and then winning the championship.
So when he went to the Clippers, hey, sure play
sixty games just so we can have you for the postseason.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sunday night, it's a match up between two teams looking
to make a little noise, the Seahawks against the Commanders.
That'll be Sunday at seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
You know, we were talking yesterday about well, you can't
pitch to that guy. Well, we were talking about show
hey o Tani. Today we might be talking about Blad
Guerrero Junior, the third two for four, a home run.
(02:58):
He now has twenty six hits, seven home runs, fourteen
RBIs in the postseason. Are we getting to the point
where maybe we don't pitch to Vlad Guerrero Junior. Otani
pitched to him and paid the price as he took.
I mean, that was one of those pitches where, oh
my goodness, how far is this going to go? And
(03:19):
he certainly covered it, took advantage of that. This is
kind of like, we went from Godfather Too to Godfather Three.
So if you watched the eighteen inning game, that's Godfather Too.
Last night Godfather three, where you go, okay, all right,
just in comparison of that's one of the greatest games
(03:40):
in baseball history. They've been playing one hundred and fifty years.
And then last night was just like an ordinary game
with Otani on the mount, but Vlad Guerrero stole the
show because that's one of those you got to do
something dramatic that kind of resets this because it felt
(04:01):
like it's Dodgers, they win dramatic fashion, walk off home run,
Otani on the mound. You guys are gonna be on
the ropes. You're gonna be down three games to one,
and then they can go for the clincher tonight. That
was the feeling that I had, and then all of
a sudden, when Vlad hits the home run. Now it's
different because then it felt like we homered off Otani
(04:25):
and you guys shouldn't be pitching to this guy. That
momentum that was big. That's a big swing, and now
you got the pivotal game five tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yes, Martin, it was like when Rocky hurt draga, he's
just a man. Yeah, that's what it felt like.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Okay, all right, he'p cut.

Good morning if you're watching on Peacock, thank you downloading
the app. Say good morning to our radio affiliates around
the country.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Paulie said that there is so Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
I think that they cornered the market on having polls
like sports polls they did. They have news polls as well. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Political, they're big in the political Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And then paul he said, Quinnipiac has a poll that
they put out and what kind of questions are on
that sports questions?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Just to the background, The Quinnipiac poll started in eighty
eight by a research professor and they started with political
just locally, and then they got big in the political national.
Here's one of the questions they asked a bunch of fans,
both sports and casual sports fans. Following questions, I'm going
to have you guys guess the results. The current NFL
season has seventeen regular season games in three preseason games.
(07:31):
The NFL is considering adding another regular season game and
removing a preseason game. Do you support or oppose this?
What do you think? The percentage was supporting and.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Opposing eighty five percent supporting, sixty.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
One percent support it, only twenty one percent oppose it.
Eighteen percent had no opinion. Here's the follow up question.
Adding a regular season game would increase players' salaries, but
also increase the risk of injury. With that mind, do
you have any problem with them adding a preseason another
rego season game. No, same thing. Sixty one percent said
(08:05):
it'd be worth it if players were injured more often.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Got I don't know as a consumer, as a fan,
that we think about injuries in the NFL unless it's
to a star player like even Jackson Dark got concussed.
He's in the blue tent. His coaches over there going
come on, get out of there. I'm sure the Giants
fans are like, yeah, they got fined a couple hundred
(08:31):
thousand dollars for that, but I'm sure they're like, hey,
we're good. But Jackson darts in there. He wasn't in
there long enough where it felt like they were gonna,
you know, concussion protocol, rub some dirt, Come on, let's go.
You know, I think we've gotten to that point where
the NFL leaves us sort of numb. There's there's no
(08:54):
load management. Everybody's playing. They're playing as long as they can,
as hard as they can, for as long as they can,
and getting an extra payday and another game check. And
because if they truly cared about safety, they wouldn't be
playing another game the NFL. Okay, they kind of care
about player safety, but they do care about adding another
(09:16):
game and playing games all over the world. I wish
they would do more controlled scrimmages, and you could do
that with another team. Maybe you use those as the
preseason games, and maybe you let the fans come in.
Maybe you let them come in and watch it for free.
How about that. Maybe you do something where you go, hey, fans,
(09:37):
we're going to give something back to.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
You're throwing a lot of stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I know, I know, I hate free My bad.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
I have a couple more questions. Oh okay, this is
from the Quinnipiac poll. The dynamic kickoff, introduced last year
is intended to encourage more kickoffs and reduce collisions. Do
you prefer the new dynamic kickoff or the previous kickoff style?
What do you think the results are by a random poll?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Well, I don't know who these people are voting on it,
but they don't sound like diehard sports fans.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
They try to looking at the basis of the poll,
They tried to find a cross population of hardcore sports
fans and casual sports fans.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah what so far from these results lead you to
believe they're not sports.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Fans because they're not. They're not sounding like a sports
fan like sixty one.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That number doesn't sound like sports fans. Sixty one. They
never sports fans.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Never has been.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, Hey, you're going to add another game. Who is
not in favor of another game? Everybody is right, if
you're honest, Yeah, everybody will be fine with that. I
don't know if players are fine with it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Football is one of those things that I'm kind of like,
I definitely don't need Wednesday night football.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I really don't. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I know I'm not as die hard as the rest,
but there is definitely too much of a good thing
for me.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Maybe you're part of that sixty one percent.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Say, well, not a real sports fan, you go nailed.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It, yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I think though, I want a longer season because at
the end of the season I always get like it's
over already.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh it's a pretty long season.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Yeah, in football, but I want it to be longer
because it's not as long as the NBA or Hockel.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't want to do as long as the NBA. No,
that's interminable.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
We have fewer football games to watch in any other sport.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, here's the result.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
On the kickoff. Seventy percent like the new version. Twenty
six percent want the old version back.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They're not sports fans. You want to you want old
school kickoff. Let's go fly down at you know, twenty
miles an hour and ram into people get cartered off.
That's okay, there's somebody else next man out. That's the
way football fans think. Any other questions here.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Okay, this is the NFL is considering moving the super
Bowl to President's Day weekend, so that is followed by
a federal holiday and Monday. Do you support or oppose
this change?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
One hundred percent they support.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
It, sixty four percent supporting on. Come on, and these.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Aren't sports fans. We've been asking for this.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Who doesn't want to day off?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah? Move it back Sunday, you're off Monday. Who doesn't
want to day off after the super Bowl?
Speaker 8 (12:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But I gotta get back. I got to go back
to work.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm not buying into these these responses here.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yes, I like that you're getting anger out.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh, come on, I can't off.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Here's the last question, thinking about professional football. Would you
describe yourself as a super fan, a fan, a casual fan,
or not a fan. So now you're going to find
out who was answering these poll questions. Ten percent said superfan,
twenty two percent said fan, twenty nine percent said casual fan,
thirty eight percent said not a fan.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Thirty eight Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
See why the hell you asking these people the question? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Why are you answering?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Why don't we have just diehard sports fans that you're
going to ask this to.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
It should start with are you a fan? Yes, Okay,
Now let's ask the question.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
Right.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
If you're doing a poll about Brussels sprouts, you're not
calling me I hate them? Yeah, all right, that's quinnipick pull.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Okay, all right, they lost some credibility with me right there.
I'm just telling.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
You the school.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, the entire school, dude, is this the journalism department there?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
I'm not nam Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Now, I have been to Quinnipiac for a basketball game.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I got some good hockey.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Hey, they have some great facilities there. Yeah, hockey's good Quinnipiac. Okay,
what's the pole question for the final hour?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
This is Quinnipiac. Happy to be on the day show today, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The award nominated program. What is our pole question?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Whole question for our three is is it pronounced Quinnipiac
or Quinnipiac? Sorry, just kidding, Quinnipiac Quinia.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I don't know if there's a state that can decide
or can argue more on how their own places are
pronounced more than Connecticut.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Everything is pronounced differently depending on who.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You ask.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Who is Tonight's more game more must win ish the
Dodgers fifty six percent must win game.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
It's a must win game.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's a must win that's right. Yeah,
who are you? Whom are you rooting for? It's about
sixty eight percent rooting for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Okay, yeah, Mike, I thought it might even be more
considering everybody else in the country and in Canada. I
know we're on in Toronto. I don't know how many
other places in Canada. Yes, Marvin, you've seemed puzzled over
there with your Blue Jays outfit on.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
No, no, no, I was just trying to figure out how
to get to Toronto for this weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Are you gonna go?
Speaker 7 (15:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
But it sounded good. It sounded good, right, yeah, like, oh,
you know what, I'm going to go meet Drake.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You could go Friday. If there is a Saturday, you're
back on Sunday. Toronto's great, great city.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
That's on my buckelous city. That's a Buckett city for me.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Now, Chicago, we went up to Toronto for a film,
a Sandler movie. Got to spend a little time there.
It's beautiful. We ripped that place up. Yeah, yeah I did.
They're still talking about that.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Yeah, that is one of the more surreal I don't
even remember if it was a weekend or not.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I don't think it was. I think it was a weekday.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
One of the more surreal seventy two hours I've ever
had in my whole life.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, well we got to meet dan Aykroyd.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
We would Yeah, we went to We eat dinner with
Dan Ackroid at Ivan Rerightman's Restaurant. Like what that hell?
With Adam Sandler? What the hell kind of bizarro world
are we living in?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
But we wanted to ask dan Aykroyd questions, but we couldn't.
We didn't want to. And then Sandler goes to Dan Ackroyd.
Danny let him ask all the questions they want, right,
and then Ackroyd does toad. Yeah, it's come on, you
don't ask.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Me, He told us.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Crazies.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know, I know that was very generous on Sandman's Park,
because I said, my guys want to ask him questions.
He goes, go ahead and nass no, Danny's cool. I
go no, no, no, I said, I'm going to need
you to help. And that's when he's like, Danny, they
want to ask you a bunch of questions. You're okay

Speaker 2 (17:20):
This just came in. Aiden Hutchinson has agreed to a
four year contract extension. No details as far as money,
but I'm guessing I don't think it'll be where Micah
Parsons is. I don't know if this is one of
those he's getting forty seven. I want to get forty
eight and he is in the middle of year four.
(17:43):
The Lions did what the Cowboys should have done with
Michaeh Parsons, and that is lock him up in the
previous year. It's inevitable that you have to sign him. Well,
it should have been inevitable for the Cowboys with Michah Parsons,
and if they did that in the previous year, they
would have saved money on that.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Yes, BAULI, would you like to play the guess how
much Aiden Hutchinson's gonna get paid game? I just got
it from our guy Albert Breer.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay, all right, so this is it's.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Four years blank million with blank million guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now are we doing the average.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
The total number? So it's four years a total of
blank million, and blank million of that is guaranteed.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Ummmm, h it's big.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I am going to go one hundred and sixty million
with one hundred guaranteed. Any other thoughts there?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Here we go four years, one hundred and eighty million
dollars with one hundred and forty million guaranteed to injury guarantee.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Of course, Wow, what's that average out to? Because that's
what I care about. Then total I don't care.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Forty five million per.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, so it's less less than Michael Parsons. I was
going to say it was going to be forty three million.
But good, good for the Lions, great player, healthy, You
got a chance to win a Super Bowl. Yeah yeah,
it's out of nowhere though.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
I have Micah Parsons at four years, one eighty eight,
one thirty six guaranteed. So the trade off is a
touch more guaranteed for Hutchinson, a touch more total for Parsons.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, Uh, Jay in West Virginia, Good morning, Jay, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 10 (19:39):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (19:39):
How are you doing this?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Good? Good?
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (19:42):
I wanted to get back talk about laid management. I
think it's about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I'm a Spurs fan.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
I'm diehard Spurs fan, and I remember about fifteen years ago.
I think we ended up the season as the best
record in the NBA and we was going against the
Memphis Grizzlies, and I remember, uh, Tim Duncan got hurt
during that playoff time, and maybe that's happenstance, but maybe that's,
(20:09):
you know, just to wear and tear of going through
eighty two games. But I remember getting knocked out the
first round against the Grizzlies, and from a super fan perspective,
I'd rather receive my I received my star players, take
Tom off and then miss out on a chance to
win an NBA finals. I think that's how it all
started in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So, well, how many how many times did Tim Duncan
play seventy five or more? Games? He probably never played
more than seventy five games in a season.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Yeah, pulling Tim Duncan's first six years, he hit eighty
two three times, eighty one once. But once he got
to age twenty seven, I had a couple were in
the eighties, but it averaged out to be about seventy
five games.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Ya, okay, all right, that's a lot more than I thought.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
It's it's more so that they invented the concept, didn't
push the concept.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, look, if my team has a chance to win
a championship, then yes, I understand load management. Fans will
be okay if the bottom line is that you're going
to win a championship, it's all the other teams. Like,
if you're an Atlanta Hawks fan, you're not going you
know what, it's just load management because who knows, we
may be winning something here you know, we're going to
(21:20):
be in that seventh spot and we may have a
shot at winning at all. I don't know how many
fan bases will be like, yeah, all right, like what
we're doing here, Yes, Marmon.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Are the Atlanta Hawks the default team to just make
fun of?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, I'm surprised that Trey Young is still on the team. See,
I don't know if there's a guy who puts up
incredible numbers but is probably thought of less than what
he should be. Because see then he put up like
twenty seven and ten.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Last year he averaged twenty five and twelve. I mean,
that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Those are Hall of Fame numbers.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
But Marvin always says, you pro rate Wizards numbers, Hawks numbers,
Charlotte numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, Marvin, they took the words out of my mouth.
Charlotte LaMelo ball. He's one of those guys where he's
gonna put in great numbers, Yes, but just on a
bad team. And if he you know, maybe if they
were better, we think of them in higher regard. Yeah,
but the Hawks are the one seed or the Wizards.
Wizards also, well.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
They're they're Merediths like they've they're they graduated into their
own little section. They're the Washington Generals.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Changed their name.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah they should the generals. Uh co peasy and Palm
Beach go peasy. What's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Good afternoon, DP Dan. It's always a pleasure to speak
with you. First and foremotion owned Fritzy Marvin. You must
know how phenomenal your shoe and hoodie games. Because the
chef's kiss the son of the Savage, I think it's
unbelievable if he didn't get it from you. Whatever, And PAULI,
(23:08):
you're the ultimate glue guy. I needed to say those things.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Reason for calling, No reason for calling was I work
for the Expos back in West Palm when I was
sixteen years old. I'm forty eight now, and I would
take the guys to VP into the bullpen for you
know whatnot. Took Gary Carter one time, Markeith Grisham, Layer Walker.
That team was insane, and I took Gary Carter with
(23:33):
a buddy of mine. He was allowed to come with
me on the golf cart and he screamed to Gary Carter,
he goes, Carter, let me get your cup. Honest to guy,
Gary Carter takes it out of his jock, throws it
over the fence. To this day, I'm forty eight years old.
My best friend Greg still has the comfort in his
(23:54):
man case. That's a story for all generations. I'll tell you, guys,
thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
For thank you, thank you, thank you for your service.
I remember Mark Maguire when he set the home run
record and I interviewed him in the off season. He
said that somebody stole his protective cup out of his
locker during the season. I said, man, seems random that
(24:20):
you're going to go through You're going to be able
to go through somebody's locker and take somebody's protective cup.
Tom and Michigan, Hi Tom, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (24:31):
Hey? Doing Dan and the Dan Epps?
Speaker 13 (24:33):
Great the morning.
Speaker 12 (24:35):
Hey just roll on. I think you guys have been
talking basketball, but to roll over back to the Expos again.
Got a trivia question for all you guys if you
can see, if you can figure it out, who is
the three times league MVP that was drafted by the
(24:56):
Montreal Expos in nineteen ninety five?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Tom Brady, that's right, Thank you, Tom. It's Montreal Expo's day.
Who knew? Who knew? Linda in Kalamazoo? Hi, Linda, I
get morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 14 (25:18):
Hey, I wanted to make a few comments on what
you were talking about the last hour on the baseball
micing up players and so forth. I think they should
and I know not only that, but I think that
they should have every game have the lineups being introduced
by the public address announcers, and they should carry the
(25:39):
national anthem, both on radio and television. It's one thing
I liked about the Blackhawks of the Chicago Blackhawks radio broadcast,
whether they're a home or away, they will at least
let you go down and hear the public address announcer
introduce the person doing the anthem and play the anthem.
Speaker 12 (25:58):
In its entirety.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
And I'm being as a totally blind person, I like
the miked up situation, especially when you can hear the
umpire save ball and when they have a strike. And
my fiance, who's also totally blind, is just getting into
the sport, so I've showed him how he can kind
of tell on the television where where you know what's
(26:23):
the ball and what's a strike, and as long as
the home team is batting and you hear the pop
of the pictures in the picture's ball hitting the catcher's glove.
You know that it's a ball on the crowd cheers.
If it's the road team batting and you hear that pop,
you know what's a strike.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah. I love this those sounds. I like the ambient sounds.
Linda Pauley is partially blind. He's blind in one eye,
legally blind in one eye. Now he tries to pose
a little bit as somebody who's kind of blind. Your thoughts, I.
Speaker 14 (27:04):
Mean, I don't have a problem with that, as long
as he's honest, and he is he knows when he
can and when he can use his vision. But it's
always good to be able to get training with a
blindfold if you have some vision, so that if God forbid,
you were to lose your vision completely, you would have
(27:25):
the ability to do things and you wouldn't be totally lost.
I dated somebody who had partial vision, and they relied
totally on their vision. And then one day out of nowhere,
and I was out of town when it happened they
lost their sight and they had to call somebody, and
that person who knew my house had to tell him
(27:47):
where the pans were, how to set the stove, et cetera,
et cetera.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
And it was it was not easy.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, PAULI has an eyepatch there, but legally blind in
one eye. But thank you, Linda, thank you. And I'm
all for the ambient sound. I think it's great. I
don't need players interview during the game. All Star game
is great.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
But they still have a job to do and you
can't be there, you know, all of a sudden, you know,
you pop up and you go, what what just happened? Yeah,
paul I do like that.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Linda's friend that lost his vision completely. His biggest priority
was finding pots and pants to make his next meal. Like,
I need a grilled cheese, not an high doctor, I
need a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Curtis in Illinois, Hi Curtis, what's on your mind? Hey morning?
Speaker 15 (28:33):
DP was just wondered this the other day. I thought
about it yesterday. But with oh show Heyo, Tony pitching
wouldn't really come into play. But if he's just going
to go on a tear again, and if he leads
off with a home or something like that, and they
decide to just walk him, wouldn't you just give him
free ring to steal second every time to get in
scoring position right out the gate if you don't have
to worry about him injuring his hand or whatever for pitching, I.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Would say no, because he's still going to be pitching.
When you know, the previous year, when you put up
those incredible numbers, he wasn't pitching. But yeah, yeah, at
some point every one of these guys, for the most part,
they stop running. I mean, that's that's a real toll
in the body. But I mean I'll take twenty stolen
bases from Otan. That's an oh, by the way, season,
(29:19):
twenty stolen bases, but he had fifty nine the previous year.
Andy in Los Angeles? Hi, Andy, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (29:28):
Good morning Dan, And it's gonna trying not to stumble
here first time, and it's my one year anniversary. Listened
to the show six feet two twenty five. I started
listening last year when the World Series was over and
you came back on my local radio show and I started.
I found out your show that way, and now I'm
a Peacock subscriber. Just coming on the Dodgers and maybe
(29:51):
a question on Taho. The game was over yesterday after
that sixth Indian and they continue to let Otani pitch
and they live Bonda and it almost enemy when you
go to a casino and within fourhands you're in and
out like you ran out your stuff quickly. But other
than that, I was actually in Tahoe and I got
(30:11):
to see Seed and there. I'm not sure if you remembers,
but I got a picture with him. I was just
wondering if you guys will ever have an audience there.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I don't know if we will in Tahoe because there's
too much going on at that time. Whenever we can,
if we can do a studio audience, we're going to
try to do that. But thank you for the phone call.
Andy Dave in Mason, Hi.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Dave, Hey Dan, how are you and the Danets the show?
Hey Houtani of talk shows?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Yeah. I just was one of to coming on whoever
is answering these poll questions. I don't understand that audience.
I can only assume that the same people that would
say that maybe both teams in the Super Bowl should
get the Vince Lombardi Trophy. You know, everybody gets a
trophy kind of I don't know, but the new kickoff
(31:03):
is terrible.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, I'm okay with the new kickoff, because we're getting
some results. If you went back to the old school one,
I'll take that, But this one at least has movement.
That's all I'm asking for. But these aren't sports. I'm like,
you can't ask people who aren't sports fans sports questions
(31:26):
and then look at those results and go, oh, okay,
maybe you didn't even watch the kickoff. Maybe you don't
even know what we're talking about with the dynamic kickoff.
So you do a poll and I couldn't care less
about your responses. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
At Quinnipiac, they definitely asked some academics football buffoonery.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Buffoonery, buffoonery, Jake and buffalo. Hi Jake, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (31:53):
Hey, Danna.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
Based on Linda's call giving the advice to Polly, is
there any chance do we get like Polly doing a
blind prep for meat for basketball shots or something, just
to get that practice in.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I don't know, Paulie. You've suggested that you get blindfolded
for one show.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
My shooting will probably be about the same.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Yeah, I don't think that'll be a fact, not at all.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
No, it'll not go in.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, but you wear the eye patch occasionally, Yeah, And
you had a scare a couple of months ago.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
You know, I wasn't going to bring it up. But
things are all better with the eye. I might as
well say it now. The retinal tear that was going
on the past year, they've cleaned it up and it's
back to where I was a year ago. It's a
lot better and.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
I'm in a lot better mood about Okay, good, Yes,
So this is going to be insensitive of me, but
I lose a partial blindness sympathy when one has been
a motorcycle rider most of their life. You can't be
half blind and ride a motorcycle. But also want people
to be like, yeah, but you're half blind man, that's
too bad. You rode a motorcycle most of your life.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
It's fair point.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I did cheat on my how much supposed to feel
bad about that?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
And like, how blind are you really if you could
ride a motorcycle?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Or how impossibly reckless and stupid are you that you
rode a motorcycle while half blind?
Speaker 6 (33:07):
More the latter, more the letter reckless and stupid.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
But you're not asking for sympathy, No, No, I don't
have a fairness to your eye.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Like the person that just called in was blind? Real blind?
I real blind.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
I don't know if they're like, oh yeah, by the way,
I got a Honda c C two nine er in
the thing, you know whatever.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
When I was sixteen, when I went to the DMB,
I did cheat on my I part of my driving test.
I used the right eye first, memorized everything, and then
just repeated it back with the left eye. Stats your limitation.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm going to have a citizen's arrest and I'm going
to turn you in.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
But if you're born that way, you just adjust. So
like riding a motorcycle. Yeah, I couldn't see anything to
my left, but I try to make more rights in left.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Who need to the left?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I made three.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Rights instead of making a left. It took a little longer.
DP true story.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
How about we take a break, I beout, We take
a break, Todd. How are we doing? We're doing good?
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Oscar Roberts.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store tomorrow? All of that after this.

what's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
So were Dion Sanders was taking a swing at all
the football coaching firings. He said that everybody wants to
quick fix the quick things there. You can get a
Brazilian butt lift. You could come in here flat as
I don't know what and leave thicker as.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
A snicker, thicker than a snicker.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, this is Dion. Dion goes on to say, that's
so good. This is a different country that we live in.
Man Ain't nobody got no patience?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
No more.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I don't either. I don't have patience as well. I
want things done right now because I'm used to putting
in the work and you want the result from the
work you put in. I don't oftentimes work like that. Okay,
once again, you can get a Brazilian butt lift. You
could come in here flat as I don't know what
(35:19):
and leave thick as a snicker.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Winston Churchill wasn't He originally said that Abe Lincoln, I
think it gets big on that proper credit. Yeah, Margaret Thatcher,
that the iconic Lincoln. But okay, checking.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Today today, I'm thicker as a snicker. Oh, Diana Resining, Sorry,
wait a minute, I mixed up my stories there.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Sorry, my apologies.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
It's a good timing though.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
What a show, What a show fun.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Okay, back to Dinersity.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Dina Rassini is standing by her report about Steve Sarkisian.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
What she's qualifying her report in different places when she
was asked about it. I think she meant it to
be as a topic. She had heard some stuff about
less of a breaking news report that he was discussing
with the NFL.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
She said, they have every right to be mad. Unfortunately
they never added Steve Sarkisian wants to stay at Texas.
They just said that is not true. We did not
talk to any NFL teams. But she's saying that he did,
or at least his people, his agent. I think he's
represented by Jimmy Sexton. Does that sound right? Any kind
(36:46):
of the agent to the coaches. Let's see, most college
coaches won a coach in the NFL at a time
where the college landscape is really difficult to navigate, a
lot of unknown. I think makes all the sense in
the world. The problem is nobody wants the world to
(37:07):
know that you're always looking just in case. Final results
of the Pole question where are you going to go
with their seatonel Gunner.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Yeah, yep, final results we went with for whom is
tonight's game more must win?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Issh.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
The Dodgers absolutely need to win tonight.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
That is a fact, right, Maser in Iowa? Hi, Maser,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (37:31):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (37:31):
I want to talk about the content that Jordan's delivering
right now. He's been retired for twenty plus years, and
it's not exactly like he's ever been going out of
his way to deliver his opinion because he thinks people
want to hear it. He's been kind of laid back
and going off on other ventures. So the content we're
getting are we really shocked. I mean, he's always going
to say he's the best, and we know he's the best,
(37:53):
So people are going to really have to dig at
him to get opinions because he's not just going to
voluntarily offer them up.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah. I don't know what the parameters were that Mike
probably said to NBC and Mike Trico. Here's topics that
I don't want to talk about. Here's topics I do
want to talk about. I don't know you'd walk in
there and you say, Mike we're talking about everything. I
don't think that's happening, but I would like to see
more of what Kobe did where he was actually giving
(38:23):
you an analytical perspective. He's actually breaking it down as
if Jordan would be going out and he was going
to play Shay Gilgos, Alexander, you know what I'm going
to do, Boom. That's what I want to hear. I
want to hear those insights about today's player. I'd love
to hear what he says about Victor wimbin Yama and
what we've seen so far, the evolution of the big
(38:46):
man being as versatile, if not more so than anybody
else on the floor. I mean, think about it. Big
men have become more versatile than anybody else. They can
play inside, they can block shots, they can go outside,
they can pass, they can shoot threes. It's incredible the
evolution of a big man, or at least what we
(39:07):
used to expect to now what we almost take for granted.
There's some video of limbin Yama going between his legs,
He's bringing the ball up the floor, He's being pressured
and I'm like, he looked awesome. It looked ai It
did Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Right and big guys. There's no more power forward because
there's no power.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
You just forwards. Forwards the center stay in sports history,
Paul your boy.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Nineteen seventy three, O. J. Simpson of the Bills went
over the thousand yard mark. You loved him in college.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I did. We're talking about football. I liked him in
the NFL as.
Speaker 6 (39:43):
Well, up to a point. He got one thousand yards
in only the seventh game of the season, and uh oh,
this is ironic. Nineteen seventy nine, Willie Mays was forced
to sever all ties with Major League Baseball because he
accepted a job as a greeter at an Atlantic City casino.
Nineteen ninety five, Jerry Rice of the Niners became the
NFL's leading receiving yardage guy all time fourteen thousand and
(40:06):
forty yards.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Klay Thompson had fourteen three pointers on this state twenty
eighteen fourteen. Didn't he have like nine dribbles or something?
Was that the game eleven eleven? I think that was
the thirty That was the thirty seven point?
Speaker 14 (40:21):
Course?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Is that a shot at Tom.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
He broke Oscar Robertson's right, That's come on, then.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
All right, all right back there, doing far quiet the
whole hour.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I raised my hand a few times, and you chose
not to call me, so I took a hint.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Not this hour, not this hour, last hour.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
You upset with me and I raised my hand two
or three times.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
The no, I wasn't. I told you to take the
segment off, but you didn't raise your hand this hour
I did not. Okay, That's what I just ask you.
What did I learn today? Tom?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
You've realized more than every after watching Gianness last night
that dribbling is optional in the NBA with that stilly
gather step.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Thanks for the phone calls, email tweets, the all around support,
our pleasure to serve you for Fritzy Seaton, Mark Pauli,
yours truly, and of course the back room guys as well.
Have a great day, enjoy the baseball, and we'll talk
to you tomorrow
