We also found out that Fritzi has never mowed his grass. I have not never.

00:01:18
Speaker 4: I was concerned that Number One, I would get hurt somehow, a blade or something in my foot would get stuck under something, and I'd have some kind of injury, and I just don't understand the process.

00:01:26
Speaker 2: I would consider doing one of those riding modes.

00:01:29
Speaker 4: They're very expensive, and I have a little bit of a hill to my house, so I would just probably tip over and fall over the little bump that's I can by the front lawn. So I'm better off for spending the couple bucks and have someone that's a professional do it.

00:01:41
Speaker 3: I'm amazed you leave your house. I really am.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of things I do well.

00:01:45
Speaker 4: I've kind of devoted my whole life to booking guests, and this questions about even that, and outside of that, it's tough to function.

00:01:51
Speaker 3: Sometimes. Does your wife mow the grass?

00:01:54
Speaker 4: No, but she'll do some shoveling, and you know, take make sure it's not too icy around this circomfort of the house.

00:02:00
Speaker 3: Alright, it's a meet Wednesday, we have the carne Asada mission, Burritos, Porterhouse Steaksjlapano, Cheesy Corn.

00:02:10
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do?

00:02:12
Speaker 3: No brought to you by Heartland Steak Company.

00:02:17
Speaker 2: Poll question. Play of the Day.

00:02:18
Speaker 3: Stat of the Day. The Warriors head coach Steve Kerr will join us coming up here in a little bit. Got a chance to talk to him yesterday before their game against the seventy six ers. Robert Griffin Junior, the third the Heisman Trophy winner, will stop by dan Orlovsky of the mother Ship as well. We had flag football last night. And if you get rid of the you're a Pro Bowl player, I'm okay with it. The activities, it's that's the problem we have. And I'm old, I'm old and old school, but you know we don't like that on your resume. Where Joe Flacco at age forty one became a Pro Bowl quarterback and then Shudor Sanders Justin Fields turned down being a Pro Bowl participant. Okay, get rid of the designation just you know, if we can phrase it differently, or a Pro Bowl participant, but not the oh you're a Pro Bowl quarterback. Big difference there. I thought it was entertaining, and it's not for my you know, it's my age demo. It's for younger you know, kids to watch this and it's fun and they're having fun and they're trying to sell flag football. I'm okay with it. I just don't like the designation on somebody's resume where you go, you're not a Pro Bowl quarterback? Well, I was.

00:03:33
Speaker 2: In the Pro Bowl. You were part of the Pro Bowl activities?

00:03:37
Speaker 4: Yes, hut for a sport that has macho as the National Football League Pro Bowl Activities or whatever they call it, it sounds like they're gonna be finger painting that are playing with blocks and doing jigsaw puzzles.

00:03:46
Speaker 2: It just sounds like, really, this is what we're doing.

00:03:48
Speaker 3: I would watch that too. You were yeah finger painting, Yeah yeah, yeah, Paul.

00:03:52
Speaker 5: But if you want the old days with helmets and they played for Pride of the eighties and nineties, those aren't coming back.

00:03:57
Speaker 6: But last night it was like a pickup game.

00:04:00
Speaker 5: It was fun, but it got really competitive at different points, and like Micah Parsons is yelling at a ref and Joe Burrow wants to stay in the game.

00:04:08
Speaker 6: It was fun. It was vanilla, but fun.

00:04:11
Speaker 3: As long as nobody gets hurt, that's all I care about. If they want to participate. I don't want somebody to put themselves in harm's way.

00:04:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauli Jamar Chase had a pick six. He played defense the wide receiver for the Bengals. When he went into the end zone, he did like a front flip round off and landed funny and I had to look away from the screen.

00:04:31
Speaker 6: He was fine, but that made me nervous.

00:04:33
Speaker 3: Yeah. Seen, what's poll question today?

00:04:36
Speaker 7: Poll questioned hour one, how many games should the NFL season be?

00:04:40
Speaker 2: All right?

00:04:41
Speaker 3: I think the commissioner was lying when he said that they haven't had discussions about an eighteen game. And I don't know why he wouldn't say, yeah, we've talked about it, as if he's gonna lose leverage. Well, you're trying to tell me nobody's brought up eighteen games. When Robert Kraft goes on a radio station and says, yeah, eighteen games is a foregone conclusion. Have you had informal talks? Now if the NFL Players Association said we've had discussions, okay, now that's a little bit more interesting because what came out yesterday was the NFLPA said, we're not, you know, moving forward with this eighteen games? Now, are we going to get to eighteen games? Yes we are, but you know these are both sides posturing here. But the commissioner can say, yeah, we've talked about it. We talk about a lot of things. I mean, I'd hate to think a league that is so forward thinking that would be like, what eighteen games?

00:05:38
Speaker 2: We never thought of it? What a great idea?

00:05:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, Rodger Goodell said, we've not had any had any formal discussions about it, and frankly, very little informal conversations. But other owners are like, well, it's again and obviously we're doing it, but nobody's really.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: Talked about it.

00:05:53
Speaker 8: We just all kind of accept that, well, obviously we're going to do that.

00:05:56
Speaker 3: Well, the owner's gone rogue and they're not telling the commissioner come on, yeah, Pauline.

00:06:01
Speaker 5: It's like the money's the given, the end game is the given of they know how much more they'll all make if they get there. The NFLPA said, our members have no appetite for our regular season eighteenth game.

00:06:11
Speaker 6: There are a lot of factors for us to even discuss this.

00:06:14
Speaker 3: They have discussed this I've spoken with somebody last year or the year before at the NLPA NFLPA, and they said, yes, of course we talked about this because we want to know, can we get four more roster spots per team? Is there a second bye week? Everybody's going to be playing a game internationally? You know? Can can we get health insurance longer? You know for these players? You know, when I saw Jim McMahon and Tahoe last summer and he said he almost had to have his foot amputated, And I'm thinking, this is Jim McMahon. He didn't have healthcare through the NFL, and I think that's what they're looking for. I get healthcare for what five years? Can I get it for fifteen years? Can my family get it?

00:06:59
Speaker 9: Like?

00:06:59
Speaker 3: These are the things that they want to negotiate in there that there will be the money aspect, but also are there going to be more roster spots? And I think that's the important part for the NFLPA is more roster spots and more money for your players. And you know, let's get rid of the what about the safety of the game. We're done with that, we move forward. They settled a billion dollar concussion lawsuit here. You know, you want to bring in the new helmets from the jetsons. I'm fine with that, but these are things that are being negotiated, and the commissioner saying we haven't even had informal talks. I think that he's telling a little fib yes, Ton, but he knows.

00:07:36
Speaker 4: What he's doing because it minimizes follow up questions the less you know or the less you say you did, because then if you're saying you did have these conversations, then it opens the door to where were they like or was in the wasn't interested?

00:07:47
Speaker 2: Which team?

00:07:47
Speaker 9: You know?

00:07:48
Speaker 4: You're better off to saying I don't know, we've haven't thought of it, and then there's no second question.

00:07:52
Speaker 3: But he deflects these questions anyways. So if you say we've had informal talks, what's your follow up? Who there?

00:08:01
Speaker 10: You know?

00:08:01
Speaker 3: Just a couple of owners, you know my staff. I mean, he could say whatever he wants to do, But I don't know why. It's a big secret. We're gonna go to eighteen games not a foregone conclusion yet. It is because there's money attached to this, Yeah, Paulick.

00:08:15
Speaker 6: Right, And I think you mentioned that yesterday. Eighteen games.

00:08:18
Speaker 5: Is mandatory to global expansion to have more games internationally without losing home games for the local team.

00:08:24
Speaker 6: It's mandatory to go to eighteen, all.

00:08:26
Speaker 3: Right, So Steve Kerr will join us. Robert Griffin the third dan Orlovsky of the Mothership. James Harden said he wanted to play for a contender. It's weird though, the timing of this, because the Clippers have won sixteen of their last twenty games, but they're not a championship caliber team. So they shipped him off to Cleveland and the Clippers got Darius Garland, which you know, I for the long haul. That's good for you know, the Clippers a whole lot younger than James Harden. Harden's numbers, what twenty five and eight, Those are pretty credible numbers, But you know, he's he's sort of the Sam Darnold. Hey, let me see what you're going to do in the postseason, because we've seen him come up small in the postseason. But those numbers, and I wanted to check with DraftKings. The Cleveland Cavaliers were plus twenty five hundred yesterday prior to the trade to win the title. They're now plus twelve hundred so that's a big jump, and you have the East wide open. And that's why I think, if I'm Milwaukee, can I get a team that really thinks that they can win this now and you trade Giannis? Because that's what it's going to take. Is somebody going to be a little impatient and not want to wait till the summer. But we'll talk, you know. I talked to Steve Kurr yesterday and I said to him, I joked, I said, hey, if you're going to make a trade, can you tell me now? And I promise I won't tell anybody. And he goes yeah, and I go, oh, okay, and then he goes, remember you cost me ten thousand dollars and I go, that's right. I did. Because he was the Phoenix general manager I think, or president and I had him on and I said, oh, you guys interested in Lebron before Lebron went to the Lakers, I think, And he said, who wouldn't be? We have like the mid level mid level exemption and it was a joke, and the commissioner find him ten thousand dollars and I asked him, I said, what do you say to your wife that you go on a radio show and you get off the phone and it just cost you ten thousand dollars. He said, I hid that from my wife. I did not tell her that I lost ten thousand dollars. So we talked about a variety of things. Obviously Steph Curry and are they attached? Is Steve Kerr going to coach as long as Steph Curry is going to play? So that'll be coming up here in a little bit. I was wondering about this the most team for a Hall of Famer in NBA history, So James Harden, I think is is this is seventh team? Marvin?

00:11:09
Speaker 2: It feels like six six. Well, it's easy to lose track for sure.

00:11:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Paul Houston.

00:11:16
Speaker 5: Okay, see La c Brooklyn, Philly and now Cleveland six six and counting. Okay, Alan Irison was on four. We're checking for most teams by a Hall of Famer.

00:11:29
Speaker 3: Feels like it would be a five club.

00:11:31
Speaker 2: Shack, Yeah, Shack played for six teams.

00:11:34
Speaker 3: Okay, bloop, anybody else who wills don't really count.

00:11:40
Speaker 2: True Celtic Shack does not come out.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: It was so weird to see Shack in a Celtic uniform. Green is not slimming. You know, it just didn't look great that it was. That's why I looked off and the fact that he was basically done. Other than that, yes, Todd.

00:11:59
Speaker 2: The one was weird too, but he was the big cat, the big shock.

00:12:02
Speaker 3: Oh that was a big shock.

00:12:03
Speaker 2: We got a cool nickname.

00:12:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. E eight seven seven three DP show operator Tyler's sitting by. If you're watching on Peacock or the NBC Sports Network, thanks for joining us. And uh oh, by the way, Lindsey Vaughn is still going to compete in the Olympics, and the Olympics start on Friday. Her competition in the downhill was Sunday and she has I don't know if it's a complete ACL tear. I think it's a partial tear. But still I was I don't know if the Olympic committee could have said to her, let's put in an alternate, and I don't know if it's too late to put in an alternate. But you know, A Pauline and I were talking about this this morning. How much money does she have coming in from advertisers where she's going to be the biggest story of the Olympics, at least for the first week if she's competing with an ACL tear and I don't think, you know, people want to know about the pain. You know, you can get by with that. She'll get by with that. It's just I don't know stability wise, and I don't know if they could put a brace in there. I know when I tore my aco a couple of times, it's after you you do it. It's not like you're in pain, but you know something's happened. But I wasn't, you know, I was just trying to walk. She's gonna be going down a mountain at sixty miles an hour, yes, ton.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: But if she doesn't win the gold, you can't use that as a crutch.

00:13:28
Speaker 3: Oh okay, all right, I'm gonna give you a bloop on that.

00:13:32
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it is very serous. I like that anyway.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: No, I like that.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: After yesterday, I'm rallying. That's that little bit.

00:13:41
Speaker 3: Yeah that is gold, all right?

00:13:43
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.

00:13:43
Speaker 5: Pauli, a doctor from the University of Denver, did a breakdown on this and said, Lindsay Von can definitely still ski with this. It's gonna be very painful, but it's a very limited event. It's not like a basketball player playing a seven game series. It's two minutes, and then another two minutes, and then her career is done.

00:14:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:14:01
Speaker 8: See, it feels like two minutes though that your knees are important.

00:14:05
Speaker 7: Yes, well, I mean I feel like your knees are probably an important part of that two minutes.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: The strain, the pressure, the wear and tear, and you're going back. That's why I just want to know about, you know, stability, how much will she have and can you wear any kind of brace? Yeah?

00:14:25
Speaker 7: See, and I am curious if there is, you know, how competitive she'll be versus an alternate that could jump in there.

00:14:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm curious about it. I'm going to guess that she's gonna make a lot of money by being in the Olympics, and you don't want to pass that up. At age forty one, it's been a great story and this has been a five year comeback trail for But I'm gonna.

00:14:47
Speaker 7: Guess it feels like even at age forty one, it was a stretch. Yeah, I mean, her comeback is a stretch anyway, just start being there was a stretch.

00:14:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, she won a couple of events there, so but she'll be the big deal, and that'll be on Super Bowl Sunday. I think that she starts her competition. All right, let me.

00:15:05
Speaker 2: Take a break.

00:15:06

00:16:42
Speaker 2: He was on.

00:16:43
Speaker 13: He played the same year as Bronnie James. Okay, you could tell which one was the NBA player, So.

00:16:47
Speaker 3: Bronnie played with him? Not he played with Bronnie correct, Yes, but we thought there was a big difference when you watch those two plays, like, well, that guy's an NBA player, that guy has a dad who plays in the NBA.

00:17:00
Speaker 2: For sure.

00:17:00
Speaker 13: Getting a text from you at eleven thirty eight at night, Yeah, watching the USC game, I was like, who's that texting?

00:17:06
Speaker 3: It's Dan Uh twenty two assists, most in the NBA this season, most by jazz player since John Stockton had twenty two in nineteen ninety two. Brought you by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Did we come up with an answer, Paul, of most NBA teams by a Hall of Famer.

00:17:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, and these are guys either in or going in. So there's a bunch of sixers. Uh six times. Tracy McGrady had six, Shack six, Utumbo six, Carmelo Anthony six. Now the sevens, Moses Malone, Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billips still in the Hall, Bob McAdoo, Adrian Dantley's seven teams, Dan and one guy had eight.

00:17:58
Speaker 6: Here's the hint.

00:17:59
Speaker 5: One of us, I think everybody loves this guy. Well, one of us on the staff really.

00:18:03
Speaker 6: Loves this guy. Okay, that's the hint.

00:18:06
Speaker 5: Probably his favorite basketball player. It's not me Marvin or Seaton? All right, is Seaton? Oh there's a hint.

00:18:14
Speaker 3: The hint is it's me your favorite basketball player?

00:18:19
Speaker 6: I think so.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: One of the guys that I talk about a.

00:18:21
Speaker 8: Lot, Marvin Vince Carter Okay fan half amazing.

00:18:27
Speaker 6: Yes, Vincent Lamar Carter Junior eight teams.

00:18:31
Speaker 3: The third Cooper Flag got thirty six, nine and six. They lost. MAVs lost to the Celtics, and the Warriors had just two free throws in the loss to the seventy six ers.

00:18:43
Speaker 2: We talked to.

00:18:43
Speaker 3: Steve Kerr prior to the game yesterday and my first question was are you a football fan?

00:18:51
Speaker 12: I do, Yeah, yeah, big fan. I watch everything.

00:18:54
Speaker 3: And who do you root for?

00:18:56
Speaker 1: Well?

00:18:57
Speaker 9: I root for the Niners. I was a Rams fan growing up, and then when they moved to Saint Louis, I discarded them. And uh, so I've become a Niners fan living up here in the last twelve years.

00:19:08
Speaker 3: But then when the Rams came back, you didn't go back.

00:19:10
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's too late.

00:19:12
Speaker 9: It's like, you know, your ex girlfriend, you know, runs off with someone and then comes back.

00:19:17
Speaker 12: It's not the same thing.

00:19:18
Speaker 3: So, uh, how much blame do you take for the proliferation of the three point shot?

00:19:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, I take I take zero responsibility for that, just so you know.

00:19:34
Speaker 2: So it's all on Steph.

00:19:36
Speaker 12: I blame Steph for all of it, every bit of it.

00:19:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when did you come to the grips of I'm going to let him shoot wherever whenever.

00:19:46
Speaker 9: Mid midway through my first season coaching him, there's there's actually a clip that's probably right when it happened. It's a famous clip where he dribbles around his back through his legs around different guys on the Clippers with a light blue short sleeve jerseys on. Yeah, and he shoots like a fade away twenty six footer and they show me on the sidelines I'm holding it. So I don't know if it was that moment, but there definitely was a moment that season, my first year coaching them, where everything I'd ever been taught by all of my coaches, and pretty much all of them were in the Hall of Fame. And by the way, everything I was ever taught was, you know, these are terrible shots. You can't shoot that. You can always get a better shot later. And then about halfway through my first year coaching staff, I realized that's part of his power and you just let him rip and he's going to take some bad ones, but in the end he's going to shoot over forty percent, and there's something about his swashbuckling approach that is really powerful for the team.

00:20:57
Speaker 2: Can you teach it?

00:21:00
Speaker 12: I don't think so. I don't think you can teach it. I think players have to have that.

00:21:08
Speaker 9: But the tricky part is you can sorry about my dog in the background.

00:21:12
Speaker 12: You can get you.

00:21:14
Speaker 9: Can get players who have it, but they shouldn't have it, you know what I mean, Like like the opposite can be true too, Like a guy who has that attitude which you know you kind of admire, but the person shooting percentages don't go hand in hand.

00:21:33
Speaker 3: Could you imagine though, Larry Bird with today's philosophy or you know, throw out whoever, Like what kind of numbers are they putting up shooting from the three point range?

00:21:45
Speaker 9: Well, I think I think we're going to see it with kan Ka Nipple doing what he's doing in his rookie year. You know, this is you know, probably the first generation of rookies who have really grown up and learn basketball, you know, watching Steph Curry and watching the style of play these days with the pace and the three point shots, and you know, for most most of the young players over the past half decade or so, it's it's felt more like, all right, this is kind of where it's all heading.

00:22:19
Speaker 12: And with with.

00:22:21
Speaker 9: Canipple, it's more like this is already where I am right away, and you can see what a great shooter is the volume.

00:22:28
Speaker 12: I think you're going to start seeing more and more players who.

00:22:31
Speaker 9: Come in with that approach because analytically and stylistically the game has really evolved over the last decade.

00:22:39
Speaker 3: Tour it is now and Caitlyn Clark doesn't happen without Steph Curry right.

00:22:44
Speaker 12: Totally agree, Totally agree.

00:22:46
Speaker 9: And it really is remarkable when you think about how Steph has impacted the game beyond just the records and.

00:22:54
Speaker 12: The championships and everything else.

00:22:56
Speaker 9: It's it really is an art form with him, and there's there's only you know, certain athletes who can really emulate him.

00:23:06
Speaker 12: But but this this.

00:23:08
Speaker 9: You know, in terms of the fluidity and the movement and the grace, but stylistically, analytically, everything has kind of led to this point I think in the league and and Steph is at the forefront of that.

00:23:23
Speaker 12: Obviously.

00:23:24
Speaker 3: Talking to Steve Kerr, the Warriors head coach, I'm curious that you played for Pop, you played for Phil, you played for lut Olsen. If I said, give me the one thing, if there's one thing you took from those three Hall of Fame coaches, Yeah.

00:23:40
Speaker 9: That's that's a great question. I mean, I've definitely taken a lot from all of them. I played for Lenny Wilkins and Cleveland for three years, brilliant Hall of Fame coach. I think what I would say ties them all together is their authenticity just to who they are, what they believe in, what they stand for. I think you have to have conviction as a head coach. You can believe in anything, you can come from any kind of background, but the players need to feel that conviction, that authenticity, that compassion for what your players are going through, what they're dealing with day after day. All those things you know, I felt from all four of those Hall of Fame coaches.

00:24:27
Speaker 3: But do you believe that everybody is individual? Used to be the old school style is you're all the same, it's a team, But there's so many personalities and demands on a game and time and you know, stardom and so do you subscribe more to what Phil Jackson was doing with the Bulls.

00:24:47
Speaker 12: Well, I think Phil was ahead of his time.

00:24:49
Speaker 9: He was probably at the forefront of what you're seeing with a lot of modern coaches, which is very much being in tune on the emotional side with your players. I thought Phil came around right at the end of the my ware of the Highway type, you know style coaching, and he helped us.

00:25:10
Speaker 12: You're in this modern era that we're in where yes.

00:25:14
Speaker 9: There's there's more empowerment for the players, but it's also just society. How different we are, you know, the way we live, the way we see things. And so I think coaches today are much more like like Phil than they would have been, you know, during Phil's time, just being really aware of.

00:25:35
Speaker 12: Of everything that's happening. But what made Phil.

00:25:38
Speaker 9: Really unique was his background and his interest in his love for Native American spirituality. And you know, a lot a lot of people made fun of of all that stuff, calling him Chief Triangle.

00:25:50
Speaker 12: Or whatever, but it was real.

00:25:53
Speaker 9: You know, he was so brilliant and so authentic, and we felt, we genuinely felt like part of his tribe. You know, he would say that and we felt it, and that was what made him so great.

00:26:06
Speaker 3: Are you and Steph a package deal? Is this? Are you going to coach until Steph leaves?

00:26:12
Speaker 12: Well? I would never leave him. I can tell you that I love Steph.

00:26:16
Speaker 9: I'm so incredibly lucky to have coached him for twelve years. I think every coach kind of dreams of, you know, coaching somebody like Steph, who is arguably the greatest faith of the franchise of any player who's ever lived.

00:26:34
Speaker 12: And I will never leave him.

00:26:36
Speaker 9: I can tell you I'm not going to become a free agent and go sign with another team to coach. But it all has to play out, you know, with the organization, and but yeah, hopefully that that's how it ends up.

00:26:51
Speaker 12: You never know.

00:26:52
Speaker 3: Trade deadline comes and goes. You were traded five times?

00:26:56
Speaker 12: Yes, five times?

00:26:57
Speaker 3: How tough is that? You go home and you tell your wife and I don't know, if you had little ones at home.

00:27:04
Speaker 9: Really hard, really hard. It's a lot easier if you get traded in the off season.

00:27:10
Speaker 3: Was there a city where you said to your wife, Hey, I got traded, where are we going.

00:27:19
Speaker 9: There was only one time when I lived away from my family, and that was when I got traded from San Antonio to Portland.

00:27:27
Speaker 12: But it wasn't because of the city.

00:27:28
Speaker 9: It was because I was traded during the school year and it was just before camp. It would have been probably mid to late September. Kids were already in school and we just decided, you know, to leave them there and I went up to Portland on my own.

00:27:44
Speaker 12: And that's a really difficult thing to do.

00:27:46
Speaker 9: But something that a lot of a lot of NBA players end up having to do.

00:27:51
Speaker 3: You talked about Steph. I maintained that he has changed the game, probably more than any other basketball player from this standpoint of you know, be like my nobody could be like Mike, but you feel like you can be like Steph. And I don't know if we're getting into Victor wembin Yama. Is he going to change the game. Are we going to look back in, you know, fifteen years and say, oh, my gosh, he started this.

00:28:16
Speaker 2: But then, I mean, I don't know.

00:28:18
Speaker 3: Steph's so unique that we've seen big men who are athletic, and you know, Dirk could shoot from the perimeter, but wembin Yama, the fact that he is so good at both ends of the floor. I don't know if he reminds you of anybody else.

00:28:33
Speaker 9: No, I mean, if you think it would be hard to be like Mike, imagine telling your kid.

00:28:38
Speaker 12: Be like Victor. Be taller, just be taller, keep eating those carrots. I don't know.

00:28:47
Speaker 9: I just think he is more of a unicorn than anybody I've ever seen. Just the size and the skill, but also the awareness are to be great.

00:29:00
Speaker 12: You can see it.

00:29:01
Speaker 9: You know, I've never even talked to him or met him, but you can see it, you know, just in the way he carries himself. But there's so few people who are ever born to look like that. And I think that's what Steph's appeal is, you know, to so many people, boys and girls.

00:29:19
Speaker 12: I mean, he is.

00:29:21
Speaker 9: He's someone who at least you can imagine being like for real. Now that's not really true either, because he has the greatest hand eye coordination of anybody on earth. But he's inspiring so many people and it's really fun to watch.

00:29:38
Speaker 3: I think he had thirty career starts.

00:29:41
Speaker 2: That sound about right.

00:29:43
Speaker 12: That sounds like a lot. Actually, yeah, I.

00:29:45
Speaker 2: Looked it up.

00:29:46
Speaker 3: I think one year you had, you know, like twenty starts. Yeah, and you might have the fewest starts. You might be the most famous person in NBA history with the fewest starts rings person start ratio. I mean it's pretty good.

00:30:04
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm very proud of that.

00:30:06
Speaker 3: I'm sure you are, sure, sure you are. I'm curious if your kids know the feeling of when you yell at Draymond. Did they ever know that rap that you know when you yell at him?

00:30:21
Speaker 12: To be fair, my kids have never yelled at me like Draymond.

00:30:30
Speaker 3: Fair enough, Uh, but you've never run them. You well, you probably sent your kids basically to you know, the showers.

00:30:39
Speaker 9: Yeah, send them, send them to an early shower and early early bedtime.

00:30:43
Speaker 12: That might have happened a couple of times back in the day.

00:30:46
Speaker 3: But you and Draymond are going to be friends for life, right.

00:30:50
Speaker 12: He is the best I you know, he's so emotional and.

00:30:55
Speaker 9: Passionate and we've been connected for twelve years in miss quest to win. And he's the first to tell you he's flawed, h and he goes overboard at times, but you know, he's he's such a competitor and his will to win is kind of what's not only gotten him this far, but also gotten him into trouble over the years. And he knows that and so that's that's been something that he and I have really tried to work on together and uh, you know, kind of embrace because you can't win without without competitive desire like that on your team.

00:31:36
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking time, I know you're busy, and good luck.

00:31:40
Speaker 12: Always good to see it.

00:31:41
Speaker 3: Dan Steve his dog started attacking him, and I'm like, somebody loves you, you know, but uh, yeah, I've known Steve a long long time. Go back to the Arizona days, but he played for loud Olsen, place for Phil Jackson, place for Greg Papa bitch. If you're looking at careers, where you go. Okay, that guy had thirty career starts. But he ends up being part of what nine NBA titles as player and coach, assistant coach, playing on the Bulls, playing with Mike. Pretty amazing career and he's going to go into the Hall of Fame and go back to when remember when Phil Jackson left the Knicks or stepped down, and we thought Steve Kerr was going to go to the Knicks, and then he eventually replaces Mark Jackson with Golden State, And that's when we didn't know how good Golden State was. They were a curiosity and then all of a sudden, Steve said, you know, I can unlock the potential of this team. But they almost traded Klay Thompson for Kevin Love, and I think Mark Jackson was still the head coach, and I asked him about that and he said, I'll I'd never give up Klay Thompson. Love was a big deal. I mean he was giving you, you know, thirty twenty. He gave you a thirty thirty game. Yeah, Paulie.

00:33:08
Speaker 5: This was in twenty fourteen, right before the run started. They almost traded Kevin Love for Klay Thompson. Tons of stories about it. All right, let me take a break. Let's see play of the day.

00:33:20
Speaker 3: Coming up. I have the amount of money that Lindsey Vaughn is I guess going to make, could make by participating in the Olympics, even with a torn acl I'll have that for you. Coming up.

00:34:23
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

00:34:29
Speaker 3: That's all he does. Man, he scores goals. I was watching the pregame and they talked about he's a scoring machine. That's five consecutive years with at least twenty five goals. That's your play of the day. Play of the Day brought to you by the great folks at TCL. It is the official TV partner of the NFL in Super Bowl sixty, the Ultimate Series, QM eight K, QM nine K, we have the ninety eight inch and we have that in the Man Cave. TCL the official TV partner the NFL, available at all major retailers.

00:35:03
Speaker 7: There are times in hockey calls that I have absolutely no idea what language they're speaking, even though I know it's English because I swear at one point in that the guy said, screet up Tolleen reebock on tensil. What the hell was reebockl reeback got a screet up Colleen readoped on tensil?

00:35:20
Speaker 8: Like goal? Like, what the hell?

00:35:22
Speaker 3: Language of the Lindsey Vaughn's endorsement for twenty twenty six nearly ten million dollars Red Bull under Armour, Rolex Oakley and UH I don't know how much of that is attached to her actually competing in the Olympics, but certainly that would be a big motivator if it is all right. Um, you know, I was wondering about this. Remember when the Dallas Cowboys the offensive linement, they would they would stand up and then they would go back down.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: I don't do you remember that with Tom Landry.

00:35:53
Speaker 5: Yes, in the seventies, they would get up to the line of scrimmage and they would be like kind of their forearms on their knees.

00:35:59
Speaker 6: They were not down, and Roger Staubach or whoever the quarterback would go down and then they would go up and then down to the set position.

00:36:06
Speaker 3: But nobody did that afterwards, and then the Cowboys stopped doing maybe when Jimmy Johnson got there. Yes, Todd, I did.

00:36:15
Speaker 2: Not like the Cowboys, but I thought that was bad ass. There's something about that look.

00:36:18
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because they were the only ones doing it, to be up and down like that, like they're ready to do something.

00:36:22
Speaker 3: And uh, Chris Collinsworth is going to join us later in the week. And I started thinking about remember wide receivers, they would stand at the line of scrimmage with their hands or their like on their hip and they would have one foot in front. Do you remember that, DoD You do totally remember mar Marvin. You're looking at me and like you don't remember that. When they would almost like Nick Jagger.

00:36:43
Speaker 2: Yes, so they stay like Mick Jagger saw me.

00:36:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would be at the line of scrimmage. It doesn't look threatening at all, but they would have their hands on their hips and I'd go, like Fred bulittn a cough, I remember, he would just be like this. I'd be like, Okay, that's how you play wide receiver. You stand there with your hands on your hip.

00:37:03
Speaker 2: Not an intimidating post.

00:37:04
Speaker 3: No, yeah, Paul. Yeah.

00:37:05
Speaker 5: And going back to the Cowboys, I looked up it was called the Landry shift. He wanted all his offensive lineman to be in sync and go down and position at the same time.

00:37:13
Speaker 6: That was the only reason.

00:37:14
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that they would draw teams off sides, you know, because of that, because there's movement there all right. By the way, I ran into a closed talker yesterday, and you know when you're like close close okay, yeah, not clothes you said, a clothes talker, like a tailor.

00:37:32
Speaker 2: No, someone's talking about clothes.

00:37:36
Speaker 3: Talks about clothes, so weird close talker, and uh, you know when you talk, they're right there, and then you take a step.

00:37:45
Speaker 2: Back and retreat. Yeah, I'm trying to retreat.

00:37:48
Speaker 3: But he kept coming, and Paulie goes, well, there is a rule of thumb here about Paulie's going to demonstrate Marvin if you'll stand up and we'll because I said to Paulie, you know, I wasn't sure what is protocol here? All right, So Marvin standing Paulie.

00:38:04
Speaker 5: So I saw this on the internet years ago comedian and said, if you're close enough where I shouldn't be able to put my hand on your shoulder, Look at Marvin, I have in a conversation.

00:38:12
Speaker 6: Okay, if I could put my hand on your shoulder, that's it.

00:38:17
Speaker 5: Okay, there it is all right line of demarcation.

00:38:20
Speaker 3: Well, thank you anytime. Yeah. Things you learn on this program the things that you don't want to learn on this program.

00:38:27
Speaker 4: Yes, Todd, what if you are hugging people for the first time, when you're meeting rivers that invading social distance space.

00:38:32
Speaker 3: I think I made that mistake yesterday where I met somebody and I went to you know, put my hand out and shake her hand, and I thought she was leaning in for a hug and I don't know if i'd met her before. And then she said, no, you met me at the super Bowl in Miami. That still doesn't mean that I can go in for a hug like that. But it was a little awkward.

00:38:56
Speaker 2: If I was making the rules, you absolutely don't even give about it.

00:39:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, it's awkward, yes, Martin.

00:39:03
Speaker 2: That's like yesterday.

00:39:04
Speaker 13: I mean two days ago, we did a meet and greet and you know the Kemp Peel skit where Barack Obama gives everybody just the you know.

00:39:12
Speaker 2: Business like Hansha, Oh yeah, comes over to me, DAPs me up. I hear you bro. Black History Month? Yeah, he dapped you up.

00:39:20
Speaker 3: He came to me and he gave me that firm.

00:39:26
Speaker 15: I'm bro.

00:39:27
Speaker 2: So we got, Yes, we got. I was like, man, me you James and Virginia. Yeah, Black History Months? You know this all month?

00:39:37
Speaker 3: Let me see uh Andy and Rhode Island. Hi, Andy, what's on your mind today?

00:39:44
Speaker 2: Good morning Dan?

00:39:45
Speaker 6: What's up?

00:39:46
Speaker 15: Then next and you talked to a lucky winner of not one.

00:39:49
Speaker 14: But two free Super Bowl tickets. Courtesy of that ticks.

00:39:53
Speaker 15: And I am currently on my way to pick up my god brother. We're going to be flying out from Logan Airport out of California for the super Bowl, and I am on a high that I can't and explained because I just found out last night through an email that I was one of the lucky winners. So here, I am getting ready to head out to California, and I'm hoping that I could possibly stop by the show to see you guys.

00:40:14
Speaker 2: Maybe Friday, that would be great.

00:40:16
Speaker 3: We'd love to see you Andy six to nine am at the China Basin Park. Congratulations Chico in Baltimore.

00:40:24
Speaker 2: Hey Chico, Hey Dan, I see you guys out here.

00:40:28
Speaker 10: Feels good to have you guys back on NBC Sports Network. So you guys, you saying that there will be a how you say about bad Bunny being performing at the halftime.

00:40:39
Speaker 3: Show, Good for him. I really don't care about the halftime show. I don't get caught up in halftime shows. I might watch a little bit of it, but hey, it's for you, not for me, you know. But you tune in if you like it, then you can tune out if you don't. I mean, I'm sorry. Yeah, like it's nobody's making you watch it. Yes, Marvion, the.

00:41:04
Speaker 13: Post Janet Jackson halftime shows might have been for your audience, like Bruce Springsteen, The Who, not for seating. But there were other Tom Pitty and a heartbreaking Stone. He really got away from Nipplegate. He went to old school acts right after Janet Jackson, like, oh more old acts.

00:41:23
Speaker 3: I still think justin Timberlake should have taken a little more heat, a little bit like all of it, a little bit like all of it. I think Janet knew what was going on. I knew somebody worked on the halftime show, and I waited a little while until I called him because he was an absolute wreck. After that absolute wreck, he goes, I just hope this blows over. I hope there's a controversial finish to the game. I said, no, it's gonna be there a while. In fact, forever, RG three will stop by our two on the way Dan and The Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show
