Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Hour two on this Thursday.

00:00:06
Speaker 2: Brackets have to be in for the Celebrity Bracket Challenge. We will unveil our picks for the final four that'll be coming up, and you could join the Luminaries. Fritzie's done a great job. Well, you know what, I'm not giving you credit for doing a great job and reaching out to celebrities because what happens is Fritzie was reaching out to people, basically women in Hollywood that he thought were well, they are beautiful. I mean, Jessica Alba has no you know, attachment to the show, not that I'm aware of, and they're not calling you back.

00:00:41
Speaker 3: Ra Jee mc garner was on the show one, so that wasn't that much of a region. She was fun and she loved being on with you.

00:00:46
Speaker 2: She was promoting a movie.

00:00:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you guys hit it off really well. Was enough to put her on my list to a call.

00:00:51
Speaker 2: But you and her didn't hit it on.

00:00:54
Speaker 3: He did not. I had nothing to do with it.

00:00:55
Speaker 2: Yes, but Todd reaching out to all the Rachel McAdams like they Nicole Kidman, They don't they don't have any attachment to the ship.

00:01:04
Speaker 3: Nicole Kennedy, you were in a movie with harr Richel McGann's. We were recently talking about wedding crashes.

00:01:08
Speaker 2: There's a method to the Medt's a little bit okay. Nicole Kidman had no idea who I was when I did that. Just go with it. Movie doesn't matter.

00:01:16
Speaker 4: On stage with her, Jennifer has that.

00:01:18
Speaker 5: That's a huge thing.

00:01:19
Speaker 2: I think she forgot about me as soon as our scene was over. That's unfortunately, yes it is. But she's on the rebound now and maybe she'll remember that magic that we actually smart, that chemistry that we had on the stage there in that scene. Rebecca Lowe, Roger Bennett, men In Blacier's Guy Fieri Diner's driving some dives. Philip Bevery I like it. I don't even know if we invited Philip Rivers we did.

00:01:48
Speaker 3: The funny thing is about half of the people that are that are involved with this they never responded that just out of the blue scentate we invited them. But they usually someone they'll say, yeah, I'll take care of the thanks for inviting me. But I'd say a third to a half were just I thought they weren't going to participate, and then all of a sudden, bank Philip Rivers sends it.

00:02:03
Speaker 2: In Dale Ernhard Junior, Alex Ovechkin. Of course you would expect him to fill out a bracket. Frank Calliendo, Connor Hellobuck, the goaltender, Josh Dumel, Darius Rucker, Jason Garrett, Reggie Miller, Melissa Start, and Chris mannox in there as well. So we'll tell you our picks for the final four coming up. Your phone calls always welcome each seven to seven to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. Tracy McGrady will join us coming up here in a little bit. The news from the first hour Cade Cunningham of the Pistons as a collapsed lung, and if you're looking for comparison, CJ. McCollum had a collapse lung a couple of years ago, I think, and he was out for three weeks. You know, once again, I don't have any information other than what Sham's tweeted out that he has to collapse lung. But the one thing that I was curious about, and Dylan, by the way, is sitting in Seaton's chair seatan is in for Marvin. Marvin out for a one game. I mean, Marvin is out for one day and he'll be back tomorrow on the show. But I asked Dylan, I said, well, you look at the numbers here, because it almost felt like Kate Cunningham could be the default MVP if Shay Gilgis had missed or misses a couple more games. I think Joker could only miss one more game there, or maybe Wemby. Maybe Wemby can sneak in and win the MVP. That would be the wem VP MVP WEMVP. So if Kad Cunningham is out three weeks, will he not be he had to have sixty five games, weill not be eligible, Dylan, he will not.

00:03:49
Speaker 5: Kate Cunningham right now sitting at plus seventy five hundred for the MVP. Okay from the top, SGA is minus one thousand.

00:03:58
Speaker 2: No, but I'm looking at the games and how many games has Shay Gilgis missed that that's what we're talking about.

00:04:04
Speaker 5: So he's played fifty eight and there's twelve games left, so he has to play seven or twelve to be eligible.

00:04:11
Speaker 2: SGA. Yes, Yeah, he'll do that. Yeah, Kate Cunningham is not going to be eligible. I don't think Joker. I think can miss one more game. Maybe has he missed fifteen games and then Wemby. Wemby'spent healthy after the blood clot last year.

00:04:32
Speaker 4: He has pauling Kate Cunningham with the Pistons is sitting at sixty one games played.

00:04:37
Speaker 2: Okay, ooh, so if he's out, they might just keep him out for the regular seat, you know, a collapse long yeah, paulin Joe gets said fifty.

00:04:48
Speaker 4: Four games played so far with twelve to go.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: Ooh, he snugg got to play all of them. He's not gonna win it. SGA is going to win it. But I don't really, I don't think s G A or I don't think Joker cares. I really don't.

00:05:05
Speaker 6: You know.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: I think the media cares, but I don't. I don't think Joker cares. It's like, okay, I know, I go back to my horses. Somebody did ask Joker who is his goat? And he goes, I don't have goats. I have horses. Oh that crazy sense of humor. Yes.

00:05:24
Speaker 4: One of his all time favorite clips is after he wins the title. One of the great moments. Of his life. They start talking about the parade, he goes, what is this parade?

00:05:32
Speaker 2: Tuesday? That's where he was like, I'm out of here, I'm out what does this parade?

00:05:41
Speaker 7: Like?

00:05:43
Speaker 4: I'm butchering that accent. But we got the Claric goes parade, I'm out of here yet parade.

00:05:53
Speaker 5: And he was brought to tears when he won a horse race, legitimately inconsolably happy.

00:05:58
Speaker 2: And when he won a bronze men as well. All right, so we'll get phone calls. What's the poll question?

00:06:05
Speaker 6: Update?

00:06:05
Speaker 2: And when are we going to go with our two? Seaton got up to it.

00:06:08
Speaker 8: You from hour one here if you'd like, uh, this year's NCAA tournament will be mostly chalk or non not chalk. Eighty seven percent of the audience say it's gonna be chalk.

00:06:19
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, what's poll question for hour two?

00:06:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, Dylan, what do you think.

00:06:24
Speaker 5: I'll field this one season? The best sports day of the calendar? Round one March Madness?

00:06:32
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:06:32
Speaker 5: Today?

00:06:32
Speaker 2: Wait are we saying one day? So if it's the final day of the Masters, that's one day? So you're I think you gotta do?

00:06:41
Speaker 9: Hey, what do you do?

00:06:43
Speaker 5: Sorry?

00:06:44
Speaker 2: That was that not Airic. Yes, when you said you might not be here tomorrow.

00:06:50
Speaker 4: I'm catholic. I could say that. Well, you said the Masters, that was an honest reaction to having the picture.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: But that's one day. I gotta say two days for March Madness, Thursday and Friday. I gotta go two days. Now. If it's not it, you can't pitch.

00:07:05
Speaker 8: You can't do the best two days because it's a one day.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: All right, So all right, Opening Day and night of March Madness Sunday at the Masters, Super Bowl, Sunday, Draft, NFL Draft.

00:07:17
Speaker 5: NFL Draft, opening Day, Baseball.

00:07:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh yeah.

00:07:26
Speaker 8: See the fact that the NFL Draft is something mentioned and we can't find one day for like the NBA or really major League baseball, I mean opening day kind of but man, it's crazy.

00:07:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but opening day is an opening day anymore. It's not anymore. It is, you know, I'm gonna take that off the board. And the NFL season starts on Thursday, and that's one game that's not a standalone that I would take over. The Masters or the draft.

00:07:53
Speaker 8: And even you know, the say, the opening round of the NCAA tournament that really shouldn't be compared to the Sunday at the man.

00:08:00
Speaker 2: No Sunday at the Masters. Yeah, doesn't matter who's in contention, doesn't matter. The golf course is the star, yes, Dylan, Well.

00:08:10
Speaker 5: It matters to some, you know, if you might have some action on a golfer and cards four over on Sunday all of a sudden, it's not as magical.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: By the way. The new episode of the Gambling podcast, it's available at Danpatrick dot com. The todcast either way, the reaction that I got from a couple of people yesterday saying must listen todcast where Fritzy is basically all alone with his thoughts, Dylan sort of guides him through and keeps him kind of in his lane. But the toddcast available at Danpatrick dot com. And it might be approaching Joe Rogan type numbers. I'm guessing. I think that's the kind of popularity that I'm hearing. Is Spotify can to steal him away? Is that they may, hopefully, I mean they might. Yes, Paulie back to the.

00:09:02
Speaker 4: Pole question January first Bowl games. There's three playoff games on January first, college football. I would absolutely have that in the mix.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. Yeah, See, my.

00:09:14
Speaker 8: Only problem with that is college football is constantly changing and shifting, so we don't know if that's actually going to hold for yeah, indefinitely.

00:09:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yes, Thanksgiving Day games, that one's pretty tried and true.

00:09:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the games usually aren't good.

00:09:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you're like tired and like the.

00:09:32
Speaker 2: Draft is NFL Draft is a big deal. That first round, that's a big deal, and then the build up to the draft and maybe somebody's making a trade there. I you know, Sunday at the Masters though on CBS, Hello friends, Yes, deally.

00:09:49
Speaker 5: What about Olympics opening ceremonies that's only once every four years too.

00:09:57
Speaker 2: That's just a bunch of people parading, you know, carrying the flags and you know, I mean respectfully, that's magic, but it's just a parade.

00:10:07
Speaker 8: Yes, So if we're trying to narrow this down a little bit, March Madness Day one, mm hmm, Super Bowl Sunday. What about NBA Christmas Day? Did we say Christmas Day?

00:10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, but nobody cares it that day. The NFL came in and basically blew that up.

00:10:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's man, I still think about watching basketball all day on Christmas.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: But if you have NFL on Christmas Day, then you're probably not much in the NBA. I hate that. I do. I hate that they bigfoot They bigfoot everything. No, like, can't you guys just they don't leave scraps for anybody. Y. I got to come into every room swinging it around like just all right, guys, we get it, we get it. Okay, we're the Yes.

00:10:52
Speaker 4: The idea of not watching the Sunday of the Masters is that bothers me. That's that's a six seven noon to six. It's lovely.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: But the NFL Draft is the right answer because how many fan bases, how many people you get hope that day your team is going to do on Super Bowl Sunday. If your team's not in it, you're gonna go, Okay, I'll sit around and drink and then I'll maybe place a bet. But you're not. And if you're not a golf fan or your favorite golfer is not playing on that Sunday, the NFL Draft, everybody's involved in this. Yeah, I do.

00:11:29
Speaker 5: I think.

00:11:31
Speaker 8: I do feel like there's a strong case to be made that the options should be the first day of the tournament, Super Bowl Sunday, the New Year's Day Bowl games. That is a great day that's a great day, especially because you could just lay around all day and just watch football and Sunday.

00:11:46
Speaker 2: At the Masters.

00:11:47
Speaker 8: Okay, those are those are three or four equally awesome days.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that, yes, Dylan.

00:11:55
Speaker 5: I mean Thursday March Madness. It's like, whether you're betting or not, is pretty awesome. Yeah, betting, if you're going off betting holidays, it's definitely number one. Yeah, hands down.

00:12:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't bet.

00:12:10
Speaker 6: Not anymore.

00:12:11
Speaker 5: No Sunday Masters though, because you get the Saturday Masters where you kind of nap on and off, have a few drinks, and then you sort of feel rested and ready to go for Sunday.

00:12:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:12:21
Speaker 4: Pauling, we used to go to Vegas High school friends for the first four days of the tournament, and that was paradise because you can make all levels of bets right there, cash them right there, and then free drinks the entire time when you're watching the games.

00:12:33
Speaker 2: You know this story about Matt Liiner saying no to USC unretiring a his jersey, it's got legs. I mean, there's so many opinions here of people. And then I have a friend who is a big USC fan. He says USC has a history of allowing recruits to wear retired numbers. To close the recruit Darnell Bing and Jordan Addison, they allowed them to wear the jersey numbers twenty and three. Those are numbers tired for Mike Garrett and Carson Palmer who won Heisman trophies. He goes on to say DeShawn Jackson chose USC over Cow, but insisted that the current wide receiver, Mike Williams, give him his jersey, the number one, to wear. Williams said no, DeShawn Jackson went to Cow so he could wear jersey number one. Wow, that doesn't seem crazy to you? Yes, that does that. I'm going to transfer because I want to wear number one.

00:13:32
Speaker 8: I'm going to this school instead because I want I need to wear this number. That seems crazy.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have allowed recruits or to close them to wear you know, two jerseys and won by Heisman Trophy winners at USCIX Nathan in Virginia, I Nate, what's on your mind today?

00:13:54
Speaker 10: Feet and about one meet Friday away from two hundred pounds. I have a fun thought for you and the dan Nance regarding the jersey retirements, and obviously it tying in the Max Crosby deal here? Do you guys ever see the human element getting pulled out of sports? For instance? Instead of instead of spending two hundred million on Max Cosby, do you ever see someone spending two hundred thousand on a robot that looks and tackles like Max Crosby.

00:14:25
Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to get that question today, but you know, I know AI is coming. AI is here, Yes, bully.

00:14:34
Speaker 4: His question was really good up to a point, like guys like, well, they have TGL where the golfers are on a you know, simulated environment. Then he went robots instead of Max Crosby.

00:14:43
Speaker 2: Will we have an NFL AI League? No doubt, right, you could see that where they say, hey, we're gonna have a off season simulation. Yeah.

00:14:56
Speaker 8: See do they have like robot boxing?

00:15:00
Speaker 2: Now? They have the rockham sock them robots where.

00:15:02
Speaker 8: Like people make robots and it's like, all right, let's see whose robot beats up the other robot.

00:15:08
Speaker 4: They absolutely do. It's called the National Havoc Robot League. It's based twenty minutes from here, and they have inventors and engineers put together different robots and it's like they get into the ring against each other. It's called the National Havoc Robot leg I've seen it in person. It's we gotta go, I get tickets.

00:15:25
Speaker 2: But how would Jake Paul do against one of those robots.

00:15:28
Speaker 4: He can unplug him, I guess.

00:15:31
Speaker 2: But some of the robots are like, hey, he'll fight anybody as long as he's making money. He'd be like, I'm going to fight a robot. Here.

00:15:37
Speaker 4: The robot will know the plan. But the robots are sometimes like small little things like cars and different types of robots.

00:15:45
Speaker 8: Yes, if the over under on Jake Paul in a robot was thirty seconds, he would survive.

00:15:52
Speaker 2: Who is the one that is still like sipping his dinner out of a like a straw with the broken jaw? Yeah? Is that Jake? Yeah? What's the other one? Logan?

00:16:04
Speaker 6: Noah?

00:16:05
Speaker 4: Noah?

00:16:05
Speaker 2: Logan Paul, Chris Paul, Paul Paul. Uh Yeah, what's Who's who got his jaw broken? Jake? But he did make a lot of money.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: Yes, totally worth it.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: He ate that punch too. I was like that hurt for sure.

00:16:21
Speaker 2: Well, that's when you want to be kind of a fake tough boxer. And then all of a sudden you get hit by a real fighter, and you could see when his eyes because he knew it was coming. And it's one of those where you go, oh my god, this isn't in the script and then boom and then that probably it will affect his jaw the rest of his life. Like he kind of moved over, you know when they do when somebody die and they show the skull, you know, you're like, damn, what happened to that guy? He got me? Because is I over here? And his ears over here? And remember mister potato head where you would's that's kind of Jake Paul when he got punched. It's like, damn, look at that.

00:17:09
Speaker 5: The daffy duck. Whereas Bill spins around to the back.

00:17:13
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break here, Tracy McGrady, he'll join us, coming up here momentarily. We're back after this.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: Waiting for Tracy McGrady to join US Hall of Famers, Seven time NBA All Star Mike and Wisconsin joins US Now and good morning Mike, what's on your mind today?

00:18:13
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning fellas. Happy March's madness. So my Badgers have to face the three point of Stass and Chase Johnson. So I did some digging out some three point stats, so everybody knows Steph Curry is attributed with kind of launching the three point revolution. But I thought it was interesting JJ Reddicks last year at Duke, which was before anybody knew who Steph Curry was he was, he shot forty two percent on three hundred and thirty attempts, which is almost kind of game. And it just makes me wonder, is it the Duke hatred factor that he doesn't give any credits for that.

00:18:51
Speaker 2: Well, I think because JJ was a good pro, not a great pro. And then Barkley came out the other day and said that Steph Curry ruined the NBA. Well, he didn't ruin it. It's all the other players who think they're Steph Curry who might have ruined it. Tracy McGrady, Hall of Famer, NBC Sports, NBA studio analyst and relaunching One's Basketball League, the premier one on one basketball league in the world. Good to see a team Mac. Did Steph Curry ruin the NBA?

00:19:26
Speaker 13: No, how he ruined the NBA? He actually could shoot the ball. I want to see him shooting.

00:19:32
Speaker 2: But you got all these imitators now, And I've talked about this before. He probably had more of an impact on how people play the game than anybody else in the history of the sport.

00:19:44
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's just bad coaches and GM's going out trying thinking they could find and next Steph Curry and have all these guys shoot threes.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: We've talked about Vegas and Seattle getting franchises, expansion franchises, and I saw where you talked about this. Do we have enough quality basketball players to add two more NBA teams.

00:20:06
Speaker 14: Uh, you seen the Washington Wizards play, but bam did to them?

00:20:17
Speaker 13: Keevin, Hey, like do we need more of that? I'm just saying I see bad basketball around the NBA. I know some players have heard, like you know Tyrese Hallen Burton has heard in Indiana. But what that product that we're seeing is bad. Seth Curry and those guys are hurting Golden State. We just had a boss Golden State New York Knicks game in the Garden.

00:20:42
Speaker 6: No.

00:20:42
Speaker 13: Man, Like the talent, Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of talent coming out of college.

00:20:50
Speaker 6: There's a lot of talent in the NBA.

00:20:51
Speaker 13: But when I'm saying you're trying to start a franchise, where is like the Steph Curry, the Dame Lillards that can carry the franchises. I just don't see that type of talent out there. Can these guys play, absolutely, but it's more than just going out scoring buckets. Like, there's a lot that comes with having to be a franchise guy if you're trying to start new franchises.

00:21:17
Speaker 2: Got a problem with bam Adebayo's score in eighty three.

00:21:21
Speaker 13: Not at all if f itls me in that position to you know, make history, I'm going for it. Dan, You're going for that too, regardless of how you get it. You're going to try to make history. So now I have no problem with that. I have the problem with how the defense is played on him and how the strategy that was played on him to stop him. I have a problem with that, but not him going out.

00:21:43
Speaker 6: And get it.

00:21:43
Speaker 2: No, would you go for sixty two? Yes, but if you wanted to, how many could you get or have gotten?

00:21:53
Speaker 13: Well, there were times in my career where I didn't even play the fourth quarter and I finished, like with over fifty points. So yeah, if I wanted to, I had an opportunity to hit seventy eighty points. That sixty two point game, I missed nine three girls. Oh wow, I missed nine three girls and I missed eight of my last like ten shots.

00:22:18
Speaker 6: I just got tired.

00:22:20
Speaker 13: And that wasn't a game where I actually felt like I was in a rhythm and felt great. My fifty two points in three quarters against the Bulls, I felt extremely in rhythm and felt like I could go for you know, seventy that night, but I didn't play at fourth quarter.

00:22:36
Speaker 2: Who do you think could get to ninety.

00:22:39
Speaker 6: In today's game?

00:22:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Donovan Mitchell, I think Devin Booker, those who come to mind right now, I think those two can't really do it well.

00:22:57
Speaker 2: You got to be ball dominant, you got to be able to hit three. You've got to be able to get to the free throw line. Like Luca would be the guy who would come to mind for me.

00:23:07
Speaker 6: Uh yes, my apologies and throw Lupa in there as well.

00:23:13
Speaker 2: There's not many of them.

00:23:14
Speaker 13: It's guys that can generate files at a high rate, knock those free throws down and also add in about you know, seven eight threes makes and just a ton of free throws and field goals. So if you get to about eighteen to twenty field goals and you're shooting like thirty free ros and you've asked some threes with that, yeah, and Luca can generate that.

00:23:39
Speaker 2: How do you think Kobe would have reacted if he were still alive to BAM's eighty three?

00:23:47
Speaker 13: He would have been professional amnks, you know, but privately, Yeah, a conversational.

00:24:01
Speaker 2: Talking to Tray McGrady, Hall of Famer, NBC Sports, NBA studio analyst and one's Basketball League is back. One on one. Explain the relaunch and who is involved in this.

00:24:15
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the relaunch. If you look at like alternative sports, they're doing extremely well. And I just think over the years me finding what my passion.

00:24:26
Speaker 6: Is and that's sports. I love sports.

00:24:28
Speaker 13: So a year ago I invested into the Buffalo Bills and got some ownership in that. And when you look around the landscape ownership in our professional sports, there's not a lot of you know, people look like me that you know, have ownership in these franchises. So with me, I wanted to revamp and pivot with my league and start something to where I actually can give out equity and ownership and teams. So I'm starting overl with the Battle of the Cities, and I have a cities that you know that is a part of OBL. And in these respective cities, I identify like influencers or people that have heavy influence and it's from these cities like New York. Jadakus my my guy in the hip hop community. He's going to be the owner in the GM of the New York team. Of course, my cousin Bence Carter from.

00:25:23
Speaker 6: The Florida area.

00:25:24
Speaker 13: I gave him the Orlando team. John Wall my guy from Raleigh, North Carolina. He's the owner for the Raleigh team. Tim Hardaway Senior has the Miami team. So on so far as and I have eight teams and eight gms that I'm bringing on board and giving these guys fifteen percent equity.

00:25:42
Speaker 6: So and with that, there's when.

00:25:45
Speaker 13: You look at sports, there's not a lot of guys that are actually from that city that they play in, and I wanted to bring that to sports.

00:25:57
Speaker 6: I wanted a community to back and.

00:26:00
Speaker 13: Support a kid that they've probably seen from from you know, elementary and middle school play basketball. So I have these guys that are going to be from these respective cities. Getting the support in the backing from the community is what I wanted, and that's what we created along with having opening up.

00:26:21
Speaker 6: You know, some equity for some of these guys to own franchise.

00:26:24
Speaker 2: What was your favorite football team growing up?

00:26:28
Speaker 13: It was the Cowboys and reason being Emmitt Smith is a Florida guy, Deon Sanders is a Florida guy, and Michael Irvin all Florida guys and I grew up watching those guys.

00:26:38
Speaker 6: So that's why I was a Cowboys fan.

00:26:41
Speaker 13: Many many, many many years ago in my career, I decided.

00:26:47
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna be a Cowboys fan.

00:26:50
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, if they were good, Tracy, would you still be a Cowboy fan.

00:26:55
Speaker 13: Yes, but we're not. I said, if we're gonna be mediocre, I might as well stick with the hometown team. So now I've been a Bucks fan for well over, you know, fifteen years. So I'm a Bucks fan, not a Cowboys fan. I'm riding with my home team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:27:15
Speaker 2: But wait a minute. You're part of the ownership group of the Buffalo Bills.

00:27:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, of course, but you Yes, that's obvious that I'm a Buffalo Bill.

00:27:24
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I just want to throw that out him. Oh right, Well, what kind of football player do you think he would have made.

00:27:33
Speaker 6: As a quarterback? I was a quarterback and receiver. I played football.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: Well I was, were you Alan Iverson?

00:27:43
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:27:44
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:27:45
Speaker 6: Okay, even now, if you if you find that note about me throwing a football, I was throwing football sixty yards easy.

00:27:56
Speaker 2: Who plays the position the way you used to play it?

00:28:00
Speaker 13: Connehem Randall, That's where my inspiration came from. Randall connahead my first autograph.

00:28:07
Speaker 6: I remember my mom.

00:28:08
Speaker 13: Working at Wild Word of Sports, working at Disney, and I was a kid man, And she came home one day because she used to tell me she used to see all these pro football players when they I think they had like the Pro Bowl down there. They had something down there when I was a kid, and see all these guys. So she came back. She came home one day and told me she seen all these guys. I was like, Mom, give me an autograph. My favorite player is Random Connaham. So she came back one day and had I got an autograph from Random Conneham, my first ever autograph.

00:28:40
Speaker 6: That was my guy.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Could you see One on one being somehow put into the All Star Weekend?

00:28:50
Speaker 6: I can't you see a slam dunk contest? You saw a slam dunk contest.

00:28:56
Speaker 2: Then I didn't see much of a slam dunk contest, But there guys you're jumping.

00:29:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, there you go. You know who I work for, Dan? You know what network I'm on?

00:29:05
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:29:06
Speaker 6: What is that?

00:29:07
Speaker 2: NBC?

00:29:08
Speaker 6: And we covered All Star Weekend. I'm fighting like hell.

00:29:11
Speaker 13: To get One on one basketball into All Star Weekend because I I think that will be the draw All Star Weekend Like these kids that are watching.

00:29:23
Speaker 6: The NBA, they will go crazy.

00:29:25
Speaker 13: We will get more younger people and Saturday night to watch that event.

00:29:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tracy, I gotta get stars to be in it. Why, Well, it's like the slam Dunk contest. Nobody cares if you don't know who these guys are.

00:29:40
Speaker 13: It's competitive. But that's the points. That is the point. If we're trying to expand teams in the NBA and we don't have a lot of stars, couldn't we make stars? And that could couldn't we you know, identify who these guys are if they get on this platform that creates stars. So now a guy that you don't know about it, you haven't heard he get in this one on one game.

00:30:07
Speaker 6: And you realize, I'm gonna be checking for this guy. He's really good.

00:30:11
Speaker 13: Like you would take a liking to some of these guys that you don't know in this type of setting.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, you imagine Wemby out there trying to somebody trying to card Wemby one on one.

00:30:24
Speaker 6: Hey, man, get him a trophy.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: Who is the best one on one player in the NBA.

00:30:33
Speaker 13: You're not He will be a very difficult draw. Oh man, Because you like how would you affect this shot?

00:30:40
Speaker 6: Seven y five? You can't.

00:30:42
Speaker 13: I see some of these guys like my height, my lips trying to guard him and contest this shot, and they're so far away from affecting it.

00:30:50
Speaker 6: It is. He's amazing.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: Well, good luck with the league, the relaunch of One's Basketball League one on one and and uh, he's Tracy McGrady, good pleasure, keep doing your tha. Thank you, Bud. That's a tamac there. Hall of Famer works for NBC with the NBA studio analyst. I remember there used to be a one on one contest and Mike Newlan of the Houston Rockets might have been the guy who won the one on one competition. And I think Maravich was in it. I think Ice Grew. I think they had some names in it. Yeah.

00:31:30
Speaker 8: See, I think Tracy is spot on about something too, because I know in my social media feed one on one videos I get a hundred of them, and the reaction to them is massive versus a dunk or something like that. Like watching that battle one on one is way more compelling than say, like a dunk contest.

00:31:49
Speaker 12: Uh.

00:31:49
Speaker 2: Let's see Josh in Florida. Hi, Josh, what's on your mind today? Hey Dan, how are you great?

00:31:58
Speaker 9: Five seven? One night? Thank you A couple of things real quick. First of all, I wanted to thank you guys.

00:32:07
Speaker 15: Most importantly, I don't think you guys really realized what you guys do for a lot of people like myself, The way you entertain, the way that you know you can't retire, just no way. You're gonna have to do this thing all the way till you die.

00:32:21
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, brother.

00:32:22
Speaker 9: And last night, to give you a little perspective, to eight in the morning, I get up to you know, use the restroom and guess what I tune into.

00:32:32
Speaker 6: Just go with it.

00:32:33
Speaker 9: And so I wanted to get your take on that because that hotel that cast with the Sandman, you know you're up there doing your deal with the coconut koozy deal. Can you just share a little bit, you know, with fans like us that see you do that, and how talented you are worrid, so natural and it is so funny. And I've seen the movie one hundred times, but I had stay until three thirty in the morning just to finish watching it.

00:33:04
Speaker 6: Experience.

00:33:06
Speaker 2: Thank you, don Yeah, I had a I had a great time, but It's the most nervous, one of the most nervous times ever, because I'm on stage with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman and they had no idea who I was. Sandler wants me to add lib. Dave Matthews is sitting next to Sandler in the audience making fun of me, and but I'm up there with Aniston and Kidman. My Kidman's a serious actress. And you know, I had my lines and I went as scripted, and then I stopped. And then Sandler goes in front of everybody. You know, there's there's a hundred people in this audience, and then on stage and you hear this in the back Danny Danny ad lib. Oh. I felt like I was two feet tall because I got Anniston and Kidman looking at me like, are you an actor? I mean that's what they were saying with their eyes. Well, Aniston might have been saying something else with her eyes, but Kidman was like, are you an actor? And I was crushed. So the next day we reshoot the scene and I came in and I just started saying whatever came to mind, and I'm like, what are you gonna do? Take away my scholarship and Aniston and Kidman I think had a little bit of respect for me. Yeah.

00:34:34
Speaker 8: See, Dave Matthew strikes me as the kind of guy too. Who I'm not saying he's rooting for a train wreck, but he might enjoy it if it was happening.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: Well, okay, part of the problem. The first night I met him, I went to dinner. Sandler put me across the table from Dave. Matthews went there with his wife and kids, and Sandler goes, hey, Dave, this is Danny. You two will get along. You guys are good at drinking beer. I went to shake his hand, knocked the beer over in his lab and Dave goes, well, I prefer to drink it.

00:35:07
Speaker 10: And I go.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: Extremely quick witted Dave Matthews. But yeah, he was. He was rooting probably against me that day. All right, let's take a break here, and we got phone calls coming up. We also will unveil our final four, and then we have a snake draft. This is the Disappointment Draft, Dylan, is that what we're calling this?

00:35:32
Speaker 5: It's been renamed from the Arizona Draft to the Disappointment.

00:35:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not put my Arizona Wildcats in there. Had I known, Dan, I would have never Okay, all right, we'll be back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. Had a little accident in here, apparently, and now we go.

00:36:00
Speaker 1: To the newsroom for an IT team investigation.

00:36:03
Speaker 2: The motto of our news team is fast and wrong is still fast. Let's go to the newsroom, Paulie.

00:36:11
Speaker 4: Dan, the item is scrambling on this breaking story. In the newsroom, there has been an incident. I'm gonna hand it right off to you.

00:36:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sammy Sosa statue, somebody knocked it off, and all I saw was part of his arm on the bar. I don't know if there's a cover up going on, if somebody wants to admit that something happened this morning. But Sammy Sosa is right now in shambles. Do we have any information now? If I have to go back and I have to look at the cameras in here, Marvin might have company with a day off. Anybody want to admit anything, Paul.

00:36:49
Speaker 4: Are you asking me as a person or as a journalists because as a person, I'm not a nark.

00:36:56
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, let's go all right. As a journalist, do you know how this got knocked off and broken?

00:37:03
Speaker 4: I can't see that while out of my left eye.

00:37:06
Speaker 2: What about your right eye?

00:37:07
Speaker 4: I heard something break while there was a lot of fixing of chords going on hours ago, I did not see who did it?

00:37:17
Speaker 6: Back to you?

00:37:18
Speaker 2: Anybody want to admit anything?

00:37:21
Speaker 3: God, I have a question, not an admittance. What is it better that that just have been just thrown in the garbage the piece of it, or just leave it laying there?

00:37:29
Speaker 2: Thought I would have seen it.

00:37:30
Speaker 3: You would have known it was just missing.

00:37:32
Speaker 2: Yes, So it's almost like someone's.

00:37:33
Speaker 3: Almost taunting you. Look at the broken pieces of your Samisozia thing, just leaving it like that for you?

00:37:38
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:37:38
Speaker 6: Doing?

00:37:39
Speaker 5: Do you have any working theories on suspects?

00:37:42
Speaker 2: Or I do I do? In fairness to the dan Ets, I don't think anybody is guilty. Now there could be guilty of a cover up that you don't want to tell me who did this? Who might be a back room guy? Oh and that could affect the most valuable VR gen.

00:38:06
Speaker 5: Yes, Dylan, I mean I like Paul's non ratting position that he's taken. Ye, like there was a time when like a bunch of Hell's Angels got arrested and no one flipped and they all got off.

00:38:17
Speaker 2: It works, yes see.

00:38:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, But if we're following Paul's example, if one of those guys said, actually, I'm not a person, I'm a journalist, I can rat now, Yeah what none of the Hell's Angels did?

00:38:27
Speaker 3: How might the punishment change if it's admitted now versus you find it on one of the cameras or days or weeks later, someone finally comes to by the way that.

00:38:35
Speaker 2: Was you have till the top of the arm.

00:38:36
Speaker 4: Wow, that's eight minutes.

00:38:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can go back and look at security camera footage and I will do that. For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how and what and where they drive, ship fast and free back by, free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyrack dot com. The way tire by should be. Once again, I have to be a professional. Then I have to move forward, and I have another hour and eight minutes to try to do this. Just say, uh, we just had somebody who came forward. I was running a cable. I knocked over Sammy Sosa. My guilt is immeasurable. I will try to gloom back together.

00:39:28
Speaker 8: Okay, hold on, can we guess who it was just based on that phrasing?

00:39:33
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a certain to.

00:39:35
Speaker 8: Speaks very closely to exactly one.

00:39:37
Speaker 2: I don't know if they really feel bad.

00:39:39
Speaker 8: My guilt is immeasurable.

00:39:41
Speaker 4: Is Paul like Larry Bird? I'm putting my finger up because I'm calling my shot based off as i'd probably bet a finger or a Sammy Sosa ankle. That that was Eric Weeks, the cameraman.

00:39:53
Speaker 2: It is Weeks, the cameraman admitted, probably two hours after the fact. Would have been nice in the moment to say, hey, I'm really sorry about this.

00:40:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, Seaton, I'll sort of jump in there with a partial I feel tangentially responsible. No no, no, no, were you there?

00:40:15
Speaker 2: No?

00:40:15
Speaker 8: I definitely yeah, you're part of the cover.

00:40:20
Speaker 1: No I'm not.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: I'm not.

00:40:21
Speaker 8: I just allowed the investigation to take course content And it was sort of my issue that Eric Weeks was fixing. I didn't instruct him to start smashing things, but it was my thing that he was addressing.

00:40:37
Speaker 2: So I'll take ten percent of that. Is anybody else involved in this? Did anybody else know about this and covered it up?

00:40:47
Speaker 5: I would have guess based on the use of the word immeasurable it was Jay.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: No Jay's been working in the back. No Jay. No Jay would J would feel terrible if he did this. He would immediately come forward. I know that there's more to this story. There he is. We're gonna play the Disappointment draft coming up. We'll reveal our brackets as well. Final Hour in this Thursday. Right after this
