You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show

0:03

on Fox Sports Radio.

0:04

It's our two on this Thursday, Dan

0:06

and The Danich Dan Patrick Show. Christopher

0:09

mad Dog Russo will join us. Coming

0:11

up a little bit. Celtics

0:14

blow out the Heat one, eighteen to eighty

0:16

four. Mavericks roll the Clippers.

0:19

They're up three games to two. Bucks

0:21

Pacers Game six tonight Nick

0:23

seventy six Ers Game six as

0:26

well. And in case you're wondering the

0:28

lines on these games, the Bucks are getting

0:31

eight. I'm assuming that Giannis

0:33

and Dame are not playing in this game. I

0:35

haven't seen any numbers. I

0:37

would think if the Bucks are getting eight versus

0:39

the Pacers, that those

0:42

two are not playing or they'll be limited.

0:44

The Knicks are getting three against the seventy

0:47

six Ers eight seven to seven to three.

0:54

Celtics last night thirty four point

0:56

win, the biggest win they've had

0:58

in a close out game since Game six

1:00

of the eight Finals, when they

1:02

beat the Lakers one thirty one to ninety

1:05

two. Luca had twenty

1:07

of his thirty five in the second half, and

1:10

he now has four career playoff

1:13

games with at least thirty five points

1:15

and ten rebounds against the Clippers. The

1:18

only other player in NBA history to

1:20

have four such games against a single

1:22

opponent, Oscar Robertson

1:25

against the Celtics a long time

1:27

ago.

Statu the day start of the day,

1:39

The dude,

1:42

paul you got an update on Dame and

1:44

Johannis the other night.

1:46

Doc Rivers said they're getting close

1:48

to returning both of them. Yeah, that was a

1:50

last actual update. Do we have

1:52

sound of that?

1:55

Sorry? Tom the oud Rivers

1:59

and press what are you doing?

2:02

But Vegas doesn't like that? Doesn't is

2:04

leaning the complete opposite way. There has been no update

2:07

either way. It's expected to happen

2:09

before five o'clock. The update either

2:11

way.

2:12

They got to play and get me forty eight rive no

2:14

chance. Still

2:17

too late. I mean,

2:20

did Paulie say Todd be ready and

2:23

then he was gonna get you.

2:24

You didn't get that, but I still should have been. I still should

2:26

have realized that that's when you do.

2:28

The doc Rivers even did the joke this

2:30

morning about how people don't pay attention to the show.

2:34

Wasn't enough of a heads up. God,

2:37

you're one of the main culprits. You

2:41

don't listen to the show. Eventually

2:43

I'll pay stat of the Day, brought to you by

2:45

Panini America, the official trading cards

2:47

of the Dan Patrick Show. All right, so

2:49

mad Dog Russo will join us. He's

2:52

on fire about Nick fans.

2:54

Seventy six er fans. The seventy

2:56

six ers owner bought two thousand tickets.

2:59

What a wonderful gesture gave those two

3:01

first responders, but also a

3:03

little deeper into that gesture trying

3:06

to keep the Nick fans from buying those two

3:08

thousand tickets. There. All

3:11

right, poll question from hour one

3:13

and what are we going to serve up our

3:15

two here to the audience.

3:17

Yeah, well we got a hot one here

3:19

with the bees versus dogs.

3:22

Okay, we're going to have the bee keeper on

3:25

or his job is to get rid of bees.

3:27

He was there with the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers

3:29

game that was delayed two hours

3:31

because of the bees. He's going to join us coming up

3:34

next hour. And then Seatan being a

3:36

former mail carrier, he had

3:38

to fend off dogs and bees.

3:40

Oh yeah, so you put that up there on

3:42

the poll question.

3:43

Luckily I didn't live in a bar infested area,

3:45

but there are people who do. And the more rural

3:48

routes dan the more rural rural

3:50

Okay, yeah, yeah, worse to get attacked

3:52

by a swarm of bees or a mad dog.

3:56

Right now, swarm of bees is still leading. I don't know

3:58

if that's recency biased, but have

4:00

a swarm of bees.

4:01

Okay. I've been bitten by a dog

4:03

and I've been attacked by bees, which

4:06

would probably make me an expert on this two time

4:08

survivor.

4:09

Yes, people are also doing the classic.

4:11

Is it worse to get attacked by one

4:14

dog sized bee or one thousand b

4:16

sized dogs?

4:18

Boy, I don't know. I just do not know.

4:20

I don't know if I could wrap my head around that one. It's

4:22

too early in the morning. I just not

4:25

know what. By

4:28

the way, Sunday, Liverpool and

4:30

Tottenham face off, it's a must win situation.

4:33

Can the Reds fight their way back to first

4:35

place? Can the Spurs make a late

4:37

push into the top four. You'll find

4:40

out live May fifth

4:42

at eleven thirty am Eastern, exclusively

4:44

on Peacock. A couple of phone

4:46

calls in here by the way

4:48

Travis Kelsey, It's thirty four million

4:51

over two years. He was on his podcast

4:53

yesterday, the New Heights Podcast, and

4:56

Travis talked about his new contract.

4:59

I'm so excited and I'm so thankful to

5:02

this organization for getting it done and

5:05

making me feel appreciated and compensated

5:07

the right way. And on top of that, I got to move

5:09

the needle for the tight end room. You know, it's

5:12

everyone else's job to go out there and keep

5:14

making that tight end

5:17

aa V number go up and up

5:19

with every single contract that's

5:22

better than mine. And I'm not a

5:24

guy that sits out. I'm not a guy that holds

5:26

out. I'm a guy that loves coming into the building.

5:28

And the Chiefs know that. So for them to want

5:31

to first of all, want to be able to get

5:33

this done for me, knowing how much

5:36

blood, sweat, and tears I put into this thing for

5:38

I'm extremely grateful and extremely thankful

5:40

for everybody involved.

5:42

Man, I love Kansas City for it. Okay, yeah,

5:45

I mean, why would you want to retire if

5:47

you still play with Mahomes? You love Andy

5:49

Reid and it feels like that

5:51

team is as balanced as any team in the

5:53

NFL. Became more of a defensive

5:55

minded team. Plus, he's a guy that I don't

5:57

need during the regular season. It's almost

5:59

like Gronk later in his career with the

6:02

Patriots. You just you thought, all

6:04

right, he's got sixty two catches

6:06

during the regular season. Then it'll end up

6:08

with you know, nine for catches

6:11

for one hundred yards and two touchdowns in the postseason

6:14

in a playoff game. That's what you want with Kelsey.

6:17

And I go back to that Ravens game when I

6:19

think all of us thought the Ravens were at home, you got

6:21

the MVP, you're gonna win this game, and

6:24

Travis Kelcey showed up and

6:26

there's no answer for him. It's

6:29

just that ability to understand space.

6:32

He understands it as well as anybody.

6:34

I understand where I need to be, what's

6:37

around me, and really how to take

6:39

advantage of that. Also,

6:42

you know where he's able to shield a defender

6:45

Mahomes. You know having him certainly

6:48

helps. But all I'm all I'm thinking

6:50

is Travis Kelcey. I'm bringing him back

6:52

to win at least one more super Bowl.

6:55

That's what we're doing. We're going to give him that

6:57

money he's earned. That money, and

7:00

he might not be the best tight end in football,

7:03

but when there's a game on the line, there's no other

7:05

tight end you want, and not many

7:07

wide receivers that you would take over him

7:09

either. If you get inside the red

7:11

zone and you know that

7:14

he's going to get the ball, like

7:16

that's what's amazing. Yeah. I always

7:18

marveled at players like in basketball,

7:21

Okay, you know that guy's got the ball and you

7:23

know he's going to score, and

7:25

they still do you

7:28

got, you know, a tight end here where you go, Okay,

7:30

he's going to get the ball. The question

7:32

is where and is it going to be for

7:34

a touchdown? And to have Patrick Mahomes

7:37

there, Andy Reid, you know, I

7:40

understand it play a couple more years, at least

7:42

one more year, and that's what I thought. Maybe

7:44

it's just one more year. Does he join

7:47

his brother at ESPN? Does

7:49

he maybe veer off and go

7:51

to another network, But he'll have a

7:53

lot of opportunities there. So

7:57

it's good and he's fun to watch. We

8:00

still you watch sometimes

8:02

we don't understand how and

8:04

we always want to know, like how does that guy do that?

8:07

I mean we're still doing that with Joker.

8:10

You're like, I don't get it, even

8:12

Luca last night, Like I watch and

8:14

I go how. I

8:17

mean, he's a big guy, he's good at playing

8:19

the angles, and it just seems

8:21

like he barely gets his shot off, but

8:25

he's putting up thirty five.

8:26

Yeah, Mark, in every single playoff

8:28

game, why is Kelsey open?

8:30

Yeah?

8:31

I just see him and sometimes he'll just sit and

8:33

do his own to play his own defense. If he's

8:35

just sitting right there for an eleven yard game.

8:38

Yeah, you don't have to look far to find him.

8:40

He's right there and

8:42

he's not going to beat you down the field. It's

8:44

like, all right, I got a fifteen yard

8:46

bubble here I gotta worry about, and

8:48

he just seems to find where to

8:50

play in the bubble. All

8:53

right. A few more phone calls in here, Ben

8:56

in Des Moines, Hey Ben.

9:00

And six three They spelt

9:02

one, just

9:05

calling to uh, let you know how

9:07

great it feels. I've been feeling a lot

9:09

like John Waller lately, being on

9:12

attorney leaves and getting

9:14

paid not to play. It's

9:17

certainly a great feeling. And I

9:19

just hope guys like him are just soaking up

9:21

every minute of it because it

9:24

doesn't last forever and uh just

9:26

loving every minute.

9:27

Well, Paul George says, no pressure.

9:30

You know, he's okay, no pressure.

9:34

Here's a Raj in Chicago.

9:35

Hey, Raj, Yeah,

9:38

thank hey you doing a fast bank is taking my call?

9:41

You know.

9:42

Paul George is definitely first Balley

9:44

Hall of Good.

9:45

You know, the dude has him fun anyway,

9:47

he's gone, well, I can see why he has to feel any

9:50

pressure.

9:50

So he's like twenty first century Rolando Blackman.

9:53

So I don't know, man, I mean, you

9:55

don't see if Christ is doing much with him.

9:57

They might as want to let him go.

9:58

Man and try to pre up that money he brings.

10:00

Mighty young are well, and they have no draft

10:02

picks either, Like I think

10:04

all of those draft picks are in Oklahoma City. I

10:07

think they have a second round pick either this year

10:09

or next year that we'll see.

10:11

In twenty twenty eight, twenty nine.

10:14

Yeah, yeah, Marv.

10:15

I like the Rowando Blackman reference,

10:18

but I think he's more like Tracy McGrady, a

10:21

very very good scorer but just

10:23

never had big playoff success.

10:26

He's somebody's goat, like all these guys, Brandon

10:28

Miller and all these other young NBA players. They love

10:30

Paul George.

10:31

Yeah, I mean he's he's a talented player.

10:36

Like I don't have a strong opinion

10:38

about him other than he's a really he's

10:40

a good player. Yeah.

10:43

By the way, Rolando Blackman, he

10:45

paid the price shooting contest

10:47

in Dallas years ago when he was still

10:50

playing for the Mavericks against

10:52

me. Oh yeah, yep,

10:54

paid the price. Your gun was always loaded

10:56

with well, I was always always

11:00

and then I got taken down by Avery Johnson.

11:03

Avery Johnson just took fifteen footers.

11:05

That's it, because he can't shoot threes, and

11:08

he ended up beating me. Rolando

11:11

Blackman, he paid the price, gentleman.

11:14

He understood. Look it happens,

11:17

you know. I think I think, as

11:19

Pali said, I think Rolando

11:21

Blackman's going to retire right after he

11:23

lost the shooting contest to me, why are

11:25

you retiring? Rolando?

11:26

Mostly embarrassment. I actually could play, and I have

11:28

a great contract with that guy.

11:30

I lost to that guy right there, that

11:32

talking hairdoo down there in

11:35

a shooting contest.

11:36

Actually I'm not wrong.

11:38

He left.

11:38

I remember you told me when you did this. That

11:41

was his second to last year in the Labe. He went and

11:43

played in Greece, Italy, and France. He left the country.

11:45

He was o ry. I

11:48

went to Italy and tried to do another shooting

11:50

contest. I couldn't get it.

11:51

Bon Journo, Rolando.

11:55

Yeah, it's like Jason Kidd. When Jason

11:58

Kidd played for the MAVs and we were going back

12:00

and forth with each other. He had done his Sports

12:02

Center commercial and I said, I'm

12:04

gonna come down there. We're gonna have a shooting contest

12:06

and I'm gonna own you. So I

12:08

go to down. He said, come on down. I go to Dallas

12:12

and I'm there at practice. Now all the players

12:14

know I'm there. I'm gonna have a shooting contest with him.

12:17

So I'm over at another basket. Shooting

12:20

practice ends, Jay

12:22

Kidd leaves the court tuft

12:25

and I went, I

12:28

may have said something to Jamal May. I

12:30

was like, where's Jason? He left.

12:32

I go, you gotta be kidding me. I

12:34

came down here for a shooting contest. He

12:37

said, he's not here. I

12:39

went, Wow, soft

12:43

soft Joe in

12:45

Orlando, Hi Joe. As I continue to pat

12:47

myself on the back, Hey Joe, what's on your mind?

12:51

Good morning? And so Dan, I have

12:53

a question for you. So, being

12:56

that Darvin Ham is going to be let go

12:58

and this is per the Athletic, make sure my

13:00

sources are correct. JJ

13:03

Redick is also interviewing. Well, was

13:08

this whole podcast,

13:11

let's call it that Lebron and JJ?

13:13

Was this just a promotion? Was he grooming

13:15

man for this job? Did they

13:18

learn the lesson from Jason Kidd? I know they

13:20

wanted coach k a duke guy

13:23

some years ago. I guess it

13:25

kind of makes sense. But what does

13:27

your take on that?

13:29

Well? I brought this up to Dave mcmanhamon

13:31

who covers the Lakers for the Mothership Last

13:33

Hour, because JJ Reddick

13:35

reportedly is or was interviewing

13:38

with the Charlotte Opening. And then

13:40

I wonder Lebron is doing a podcast

13:42

with JJ Redick. At what point

13:45

do you think when they're not recording, does

13:47

Lebron talk about the coaching situation

13:50

there, about Darvin Darwinham

13:53

darving him and is he venting

13:55

to JJ Redick or getting his thoughts on

13:58

what would you do with the Lakers. Lebron's

14:01

calculated and

14:04

I wouldn't be surprised if he says to JJ,

14:07

hey, what do you see? Because

14:09

JJ is never short on an opinion,

14:12

but I wonder, now he doesn't have head coaching

14:14

experience. I don't think he's been an assistant

14:16

coach, but he has

14:19

a lot of experience as a player wants

14:21

to coach. I

14:23

would imagine that if Lebron wanted

14:26

some feedback, JJ would give it to him. Even

14:28

if Lebron didn't want feedback, JJ would

14:31

probably give it to him.

14:31

Yeah, Pull, Just to clarify, the Athletic is

14:34

not reporting that Darvin Hamm is out. Darvin

14:36

Hamm is going to be fired. They did not report that. In

14:38

one of the articles. Their analyst said his

14:40

job is in jeopardy, which I don't think is a stretch

14:43

as an opinion. But there's no report

14:45

that Darvin Hamm is out for the Lakers.

14:46

Not yet. Feels like it's going

14:48

to happen. I wonder if Phoenix gets

14:51

rid of Frank Vogel after one year Yanks

14:56

and I think it's it was a six year deal. Does

14:58

that sound about right for Frank Vogel? Five

15:01

or six year deal? Let's buy out to the best. Oh

15:03

my god, yeah,

15:07

Well, let me see Cadillac

15:09

in Arkansas, My Cadillac cat

15:11

cack cack cack.

15:13

Hey, Dan, I appreciate you guys calling me

15:16

back. I'm on

15:18

my way to the Kentucky Derby. I got

15:20

a sister and brother in law that have a horse running

15:22

and I was gonna give Dylan and bad

15:24

Larry and Shade or Urban the

15:27

tips for their for their podcast.

15:29

Okay, what's the name of the horse? Because we're we're

15:32

taping our podcast after the show today.

15:36

This honor Marie coming

15:38

out of the seven Holes and

15:41

it's gonna be dead last, but it's gonna

15:43

be shot out of a cannon and

15:46

come on, it's a closer.

15:47

Oh h.

15:49

Also also, uh,

15:51

I'm a beer drinker, but I can't

15:53

go to Kentucky without sipping suburbs.

15:55

So how do I order?

15:58

That's far?

16:00

Well, you could order your bourbon

16:03

with maybe an ice cube, just

16:05

one if you want it. I

16:10

mean that's usually how I'm drinking bourbon because

16:12

I might have an ice cube in there. But

16:14

you can you can drink it meat. I

16:16

mean, you know, these bourbons aren't

16:19

your dad's bourbon. So there's some of these

16:21

bourbons are so good. Uh,

16:23

if you find Keeper's Heart when you're

16:25

there, sip that

16:27

great bourbon there. Yes, Paula,

16:30

don't.

16:30

Mix it with like diet coke or mountain

16:32

dew or anything like that. Don't don't waste the

16:34

poor Anna Marie the horse as

16:37

of this morning, twenty to one odds.

16:39

All right, kind of in the middle there, all right. I'll

16:41

let Dylan the graphics guy, Shan Irving

16:43

and bad Larry know about that as

16:45

we have our podcast, our gambling podcast

16:47

later on today. Let me take one more phone call, then

16:50

we'll take a break. Christopher mad Dog Russo

16:52

John in North Carolina, Good morning, John

16:56

born in the day.

16:58

It's five

17:00

eleven, Harry, one eighty

17:03

five, and I

17:06

got two things. Okay,

17:09

speaking of be's, Jerry Rice at practice

17:11

years ago had a b in his helmet.

17:13

They showed it on TV and he still

17:16

caught the ball. Unbelievable.

17:19

Second thing is the past several

17:21

years in the NFL draft, the first

17:24

round has always been quarterbacks. They're

17:26

flooding the market with quarterbacks. When do

17:28

you think that will stop and they start looking

17:30

at defense or other positions.

17:33

Well, quarterbacks still the most important

17:35

position in all the sports. That

17:38

is not changing. Oh,

17:40

I just saw this. Let's

17:43

see so Frank Bogel

17:45

has a five year deal with Phoenix

17:47

Suns is that right?

17:49

That is correct?

17:50

Yeah, five years right, So we'll

17:52

take a break, mad Dog Russo in a little bit,

17:55

we'll get your more of your phone calls as well.

17:57

What if TNT loses the NBA, because

18:00

there is a real chance that

18:02

NBC and Peacock are going to swoop

18:04

in and take that from TNT. What's

18:07

that due to Shack and

18:09

Charles Barkley, I think joins us on the program tomorrow

18:12

he does. Yeah, so Kenny Ernie,

18:15

could you just take that show and just NBC

18:17

take it? So we'll talk about that coming

18:20

up. Also, who is paid the most to play

18:22

the least in the NBA? Back

18:24

after this Dan Patrick show.

and.

18:44

I'm Joe Madden.

18:45

We're going to be around to talk a little bit about managerial

18:47

decisions and what may have occurred to the dugout maybe

18:49

in the nineteen eighties.

18:50

It's the Book of Joe podcast.

18:52

I can't wait for this Joe.

18:53

We're going to dive into what goes on in the dugout

18:56

and behind the scenes in Major.

18:57

League Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else we want

18:59

19:16

Stole Settles see give

19:26

Now he joins Conor McDavid,

19:29

Cone, McDavid and Sidney Crosby

19:31

is the only active players with ten or more

19:33

points in four or more playoff

19:35

series. That's courtesy of the Oilers

19:37

Radio Network. By the way, Edmonton,

19:41

their sweaters are awesome. They're still

19:43

awesome, but then it helps

19:45

that Gretzky war those so when you

19:47

see them, you're like, yeah, they look great.

19:51

I think it's hard to kind of have that great looking

19:53

uniform if you don't have maybe

19:56

some positive thoughts to attach with

19:58

that. You know, the Yankee you see the Yankee like,

20:00

yeah, may Ruth, Derek

20:02

Jeter, all those great players.

20:05

It's rare when you like. The Podres' uniforms

20:09

looked a lot better when the Podres got

20:11

a lot better. Because I remember when they first

20:13

came out early seventies,

20:15

went to a Reds game and

20:18

I'm looking at those uniforms and I said,

20:20

man, I feel sorry for those guys. Now

20:22

all of a sudden, you look at those uniforms, You're

20:24

like, look pretty good. Yeah,

20:27

Paul.

20:27

Do you notice though, that some uniforms are

20:29

it's like revisionist history. The Tampa

20:31

b Buccaneers when they came out, people made

20:33

fun of those uniforms. They thought they're soft and too

20:36

much Florida or whatever it may be. The Padres,

20:39

the brown and yellow, they made fun of. The

20:41

Astros rainbows uniforms. They

20:43

got made fun of at the time. Then a generation

20:46

later they become cool because it's nostalgic

20:49

and you think better of it.

20:50

I guess, yeah, I think you have to have

20:52

some success, Like give me

20:54

a uniform where you go. Man, that

20:56

team was terrible, but they had great uniforms.

20:59

Yes, Mark, the Charlotte Hornets.

21:01

Charlotte Hornets.

21:01

I never liked those uniforms. I

21:05

never liked him. Like there

21:07

was a run on teal and then

21:09

you're like, okay, huge run on till

21:11

yeah, like like who said you

21:14

know who issued the memo?

21:15

But they were the originators on the teal

21:17

though, Yeah, I know, and the starter Jackie

21:19

was selling everywhere. Like what team is this? I don't know, but the

21:21

colors are amazing?

21:24

Yeah, and they had a good They had a

21:26

good team there as well, didn't

21:29

they.

21:30

You know, Jordan released the Grapes

21:32

too, which had a little they had a

21:34

teal streak running through it, which I

21:36

don't know who came first, the Charlotte Hornets or

21:38

Jordan Grapes, but they

21:42

they were like white sneakers that

21:44

had teal and purple in them,

21:46

and they were a big deal.

21:48

They were a big deal. I wish that

21:50

I knew what the sneaker market

21:53

was going to be like because I collected.

21:55

I had so many shoes, but I wore them constantly.

21:58

There are people who just buy the shoe

22:01

and then put them away, don't wear them.

22:04

I wore those things out on the concrete

22:08

asphalt and they

22:10

looked like I'd been out there playing Chris

22:12

and Syracuse Hi Chris, welcome back.

22:16

Hey, thanks Dan Kate. Last sement, you were

22:18

talking about Jason Kidd watching you

22:20

warm them up, and all of a sudden you got the Dan Patrick

22:23

flu.

22:23

And I was.

22:23

Trying to think of a cop.

22:25

The only thing I.

22:26

Can think of is back in nineteen seventy to

22:28

bring out the Gimp game, when Willis Reid was

22:30

warming up and all the Laker

22:32

players were watching. They couldn't believe he

22:34

was going to play, And like Jason

22:37

Kidd, they knew they were going to lose, but

22:39

at least they showed up and played the game.

22:41

Yeah, well, thank you, Chris. Yeah,

22:44

Jason Kidd will acknowledge this. I

22:47

showed up at practice and he

22:49

was we were gonna have a shooting contest

22:51

and he went

22:54

to the locker room and never came out after practice.

22:56

Soft Lynn

22:59

and Colorado, Hi Lynn, what's on your mind?

23:02

Good morning man. Hey, you guys are talking about.

23:04

The bees, dogs and bears and stuff.

23:06

I live up here by the common

23:09

to buy it on the good side, and

23:12

Paulie should know this. But there's only one

23:14

surefire away how to keep bears

23:17

out of your backyard, and

23:19

that's put up goldposts. Bears

23:21

won't send here.

23:23

Oh

23:26

that's funny.

23:27

Ooh, that's funny. Glynn, Lynn

23:30

take a victory lap there. Yes,

23:33

that's a Wisconsin joke. Man, Oh

23:37

that's funny.

23:38

Paul and Wyoming. Hey Paul,

23:43

Hey Paul, Hey Dan, good morning.

23:46

This is quite an honor. I'm actually about ten

23:48

minutes away from heading to a blue ribbon trout

23:51

street up here and hope to see you around

23:53

here about three and a half years.

23:54

My question is about the draft when

23:58

the guy.

23:58

Is picked, like say

24:01

Pennix was picked by the Falcons and a team

24:03

below them traded

24:05

for that player and picked during the draft

24:08

or is that are they off.

24:09

The board then?

24:10

Oh, no, you can trade. I mean

24:12

I was there at the draft when Scottie

24:14

Pippen and Olden Polonies were drafted

24:17

and then traded for one another. In

24:20

fact, they were you know, the media was around

24:22

both of them, and I remember old

24:24

and I'm interviewing Olden Polonies and

24:26

I said, I think you just got traded and

24:29

he goes to where And

24:32

that was when Scotty got drafted, and that

24:34

was I think what Seattle and uh, Chicago,

24:38

so old and Polonies then got

24:40

traded and then Scotty got traded

24:42

as well. It

24:45

was a little different back then covering the

24:47

NBA Draft, and then they switched hats

24:49

because they put the hats on and

24:51

then all of a sudden, you know, ops,

24:54

I said, you just got traded. They exchanged

24:56

hats. Wile. Yeah,

24:59

if you go to last.

25:00

Week's draft coverage when Penix got drafted,

25:02

the people on the dais, especially ESPN,

25:05

Matt Miller of ESPN goes, this makes

25:07

no sense. We've had no inkling of this because

25:09

I'm thinking this is a setup for a trade

25:11

to the Raiders or another team. A

25:13

lot of people thought that the Falcons were trading

25:16

Pennix within the hour.

25:18

Yeah, and then the Raiders said that they weren't trading

25:20

up. It's weird how you get whether

25:22

it's true or not. That

25:25

now I'm going to believe these teams, whereas before

25:27

the draft, I'm supposed to believe these teams. I

25:30

don't know. I was told that the Giants

25:32

were all in to go get Drake May and

25:35

not JJ McCarthy. That was

25:37

not going to happen. And as I said to the audience,

25:40

I was told, that's a smoke screen, that's

25:42

a lot of hype. That's Jim Harbaugh

25:45

and JJ's agent doing a great

25:47

job. Now I went to the right place. He

25:49

went to the Vikings and got a great chance

25:51

to succeed right away. But I

25:54

was told the Giants wanted Drake May and

25:56

they were trying to get him, and a couple other teams were

25:59

trying to go up there and trade with the

26:01

Patriots. You

26:03

know, this is where you get your quarterback. Is

26:06

this going to be different than mac Jones?

26:09

Are you going to have a better team around him? That's

26:11

really the key because if not, you

26:13

know, then you know it's professional

26:16

malfeasans where you're not doing

26:18

your job to have that quarterback.

26:21

There's no reason to have that quarterback if you

26:23

don't have a team around it.

26:25

It's just not going to happen. Now, there's

26:28

reports that the NBA

26:30

up for grabs or at least a portion of the broadcasting

26:33

rights, and I saw where my

26:35

boss is at NBC and Peacock reportedly

26:39

or spending a couple of billion dollars they

26:41

want TNT's piece of the NBA.

26:45

And I'm wondering, if if

26:47

you get the NBA on TNT, can

26:50

you also get the pregame show

26:53

with Shaq Ernie Kenny

26:55

and Charles because I

26:57

would want the whole team. I

26:59

would say, hey, we're buying this. We'd

27:01

also want to get your guys.

27:05

Now. I think Charles Barkley, who joins

27:07

us tomorrow, said that his

27:09

contract allows him to opt out if

27:12

it's not on TNT. Now

27:14

that just means they can renegotiate

27:16

with NBC. But if I could

27:18

get the NBA on TNT, I

27:21

would want to have that pregame show because

27:23

there are times when I watch the pregame show or

27:26

halftime and I don't watch the game. There's

27:29

no other show that that happens with

27:31

And to be able to get those guys who would

27:33

come over give you instant

27:38

recognition, credibility, be

27:41

great entertainment. I

27:44

would certainly inquire about

27:46

that. But we'll talk to Charles tomorrow.

27:48

All right, let me take a break. One of our favorites, Christopher

27:50

mad Dog Russo, will join us coming up next.

27:53

Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

27:55

Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern

27:58

six am Pacific on Fox

28:00

Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio

28:02

WAPP.

28:04

I was an innocent bystander. I'm watching

28:07

Christopher mad Dog Russo get set up

28:09

on his zoom call here with us, and

28:11

then all of a sudden, it's like his wife's involved,

28:13

his daughter's involved. There might have been a handyman

28:16

involved. Chris, You've been

28:18

doing this a long time.

28:20

I'm terrible. I'm terrible.

28:22

I'm terrible.

28:23

I need help and I had to make a deal

28:25

with my daughter give one hundred bucks to set up the next

28:27

one o'clock.

28:27

And here he has not been doing it a long

28:30

time and has lots of help around here.

28:32

Yeah, that's terrible.

28:33

Oh why you Danny, Hi buddy, good to talk

28:35

to you all right? What fan base

28:38

bothers you more today? The Knicks

28:40

fan base or the seventy six

28:42

Ers fan base.

28:43

I'm gonna say seventy six ers based on

28:45

the development yesterday that the ownership had to

28:47

go buy two thousand tickets because they couldn't

28:50

figure out or guarantee that

28:52

this would not be a problem tonight with Nick

28:54

fans in the buildings. So I will say because

28:57

the Sixers, the ownership

28:59

after that disaster on Sunday, you think of

29:01

anything they boughting online for

29:03

tickets that we got to go out there and buy

29:06

the two thousand extra And you know me, Dan,

29:08

you and I have discussed this in the past. Philadelphia

29:10

from a basketball standpoint, historically,

29:13

he's always been very shaky. The

29:15

Knick fan is obviously always been loyal.

29:18

I don't like what the Nick fan did last Sunday,

29:20

you know, assuming that they were gonna win that series.

29:22

When you know that the Knicks, you can't assume

29:24

anything with them. But right now, because

29:27

they bought the two thousand, I'll say, Phillies fan base.

29:29

What do you expect out of this game tonight?

29:32

I expect another game in the last

29:35

three minutes when it's anybody's game. I

29:37

mean, they played four games or five games

29:39

like this anyway, why wouldn't there be

29:41

a sixth I would expect the Cloud

29:43

to be excellent. I would expect Dan

29:45

bid to be a lot better. This series

29:48

does have a seven game feel to

29:50

it. And Dan, you've been following

29:52

basketball, how about more than I have? And you played

29:54

it and everything else. If I told you two

29:56

weeks ago that we be sitting right

29:58

now Nick three, Philly

30:01

two, Game six and phillis, you

30:03

know now that's what's gonna happen. So no matter

30:05

how they got there, and the Nick fan all ticked off

30:07

blowing that six point lead, Philly blew

30:09

a game two league, so to me that was a watch.

30:12

So this is a sense thing where we should be. I

30:14

thought Knicks in seven fire.

30:17

I think the Knick fan will be a little nervous on

30:19

Saturday, but I do think they would probably

30:22

win. But I think Philly will probably win

30:24

the game tonight. But a close game last two minutes. Who

30:26

knows.

30:26

But is this the start of a rivalry

30:28

from the standpoint of Tyres Maxie versus Jalen

30:31

Brunsy, Yes.

30:32

Good question, that's a very good one. Danny, Yeah, definitely.

30:35

I don't see why not. Plus, the cities are so close

30:37

apart, so close together, ninety

30:39

miles apart, ninety miles. I haven't played

30:41

since eighty nine. Maxi's great, Brunson

30:43

is great, and Bead's not going anywhere.

30:46

You know, regular season stuff

30:48

with the NBA, it's hard to develop a rivalry.

30:51

So you got to have them play in the playoffs. Knicks

30:53

Pacers great matchups as you know, a

30:55

long time ago. So for the rivalry to

30:58

build in the NBA, it cannot be generated

31:00

by the regular season. You

31:02

know, Yankees Red Sox is juice in the

31:04

regular season. You know the Cowboys and the Giants

31:07

obviously when they played twice the

31:09

NBA. Robberry has to be fueled

31:11

by playing in the postseason, and you can't guarantee

31:15

that they're going to play in the postseason based on all

31:17

the seed stuff. That's why these two teams

31:19

haven't played since nineteen eight nine. But

31:21

if they play, you know, three times

31:23

in five years, there'd be a lot of juice

31:25

with these two teams.

31:27

Watching the Clippers last night, and

31:30

I don't know, like it's almost like

31:32

they're they're You're stuck

31:34

with what you have here, just like the Phoenix

31:36

Suns are kind of stuck with that roster there.

31:39

Who feels like closer

31:42

to winning something Phoenix or the Clippers.

31:45

Maybe the Clippers. But you hit it right on the

31:47

head. I mean of number one, Kawhi

31:49

doesn't play a lot. You know, he played

31:51

sixty eight games in the regular season. Now

31:53

he can't play. That was a bad performance

31:56

last night. They couldn't make a shot, you know,

31:58

they obviously lots of He's made

32:00

by Dallas. I want to

32:02

be surprised that the Clippers one game

32:04

six is the home court doesn't seem

32:07

to be a lot and I think that could be a seven game

32:09

Series two. But you know the Clippers.

32:11

Every year, Dan is something, isn't it.

32:13

I mean, it's Blake Griffin breaking

32:16

his wrists, it's blowing a three

32:18

to one lead to Houston and I had a thirty point

32:20

lead in Game five that one year with

32:22

Michale coaching the Rockets. It's Chris

32:25

Paul getting hurt. I mean, it's at Leonard

32:27

doesn't play. There's always something

32:29

with this friend and they never playing. They've never

32:31

played the Conference linal for crying out loud. I

32:34

mean the Clippers, they've had some good teams

32:36

last twenty something years. I know when you

32:38

Arena, but they're older. Who

32:41

knows. I mean, are the Clippers ever

32:43

going to have a big championship run.

32:46

They got a great roster, but they can't

32:48

keep the big guys healthy. But in big spots.

32:50

Could you imagine if you had a high

32:53

paid superstar who

32:55

was playing part time and this happened

32:57

in New York. It feels like Kawhi gets

33:00

a hall pass because they're in the shadow

33:02

of the Lakers and it doesn't

33:04

really kind of bubble up to the

33:07

surface with the national media.

33:09

It's a good point. I mean, you and I saw

33:11

a bird play with a bad back and cussed

33:13

against Indiana Game five, and anyway, he was

33:16

and he's back on the court. You and I saw Jordan,

33:19

you know, return off that broken foot

33:21

when everybody said don't and he scores sixty

33:23

three against the Celtics in a losing cause

33:26

they weren't gonna win that series anyway. In nineteen eighty

33:28

six, we saw Isaiah Thomas

33:30

with that terrible ankle. You probably

33:33

were NBC at the time, did the post

33:35

game and all that when he broke when he was

33:37

won on one ankle in the last two games.

33:39

We saw that Jerry West two broken

33:42

thumbs Game seven against the Knicks in nineteen

33:44

simptoms seventy when the next beat Den

33:46

Willis, you know, couldn't moved. I

33:48

mean, it's I don't know what it is. I

33:50

mean, the athlete bigger and struggle,

33:53

Oh the hell is bigger than Jordan or better than him.

33:55

You know these we saw MacHale with a broken

33:57

foot playing in a freaking series.

34:00

He's an eighty eight against Detroit. I

34:02

mean, it's I don't understand it, you

34:04

know. I mean, you tell me that these

34:06

training staffs getting away. You're telling

34:08

me that you know the a it is bigger, better,

34:10

stronger, so as a result, he's

34:13

more prone to injury. Who

34:15

knows, but it

34:17

is the NBA has got a major problem. Then

34:19

these big stars don't play. Giannas

34:21

doesn't play, Butler doesn't play, Kawhi

34:24

doesn't play, Lillard doesn't play.

34:26

I mean, Zion doesn't

34:28

play. I mean it's a it's a

34:30

major problem that they play

34:32

the eighty two games and then when

34:35

the game sunny means something, the best players

34:37

can't get out there and play. It's a major problem

34:39

for the league. It really is.

Chris mad Dog Russo, host of mad

34:42

Dog Unleashed on Sirius XM Channel

34:44

eighty two, also High Heat on MLB

34:47

Network and First Take with Steven

34:49

A and Company on the Mothership. If I

34:51

said to the New York sports fan, I

34:53

can give you the Knicks winning the NBA title,

34:56

all right, give you the Giants winning the Super Bowl

34:59

or the Jets winning the Super Bowl.

35:01

Well that's a good one. I would say the Jets

35:03

won because it's been such a

35:05

long time, sixty nine they've

35:08

had They've been so star crossed, all

35:10

these injuries. Never can get out of their

35:12

own way. Belichick obviously,

35:14

Aaron Rodgers last year Now, remember

35:17

the difference between the Jets

35:19

and the Giants stand is that a lot

35:21

of Giant fans don't like the Jets. So it's

35:23

not universal in New York City

35:26

if they win, because half the people won't like it

35:28

because they don't like the Jets. The Knicks

35:30

and the Nets are different. There's not enough Net

35:32

fans they're getting away. So if the

35:34

Knicks win, it's more of an encompassing

35:37

thing in New York compared to

35:39

the Giants or the Jets, or the Mets

35:41

or the Yankees, because half

35:43

the audience doesn't want that team to win

35:46

because it's it's problematic

35:48

for him because they weren't against them. The Knicks,

35:50

they're not, so everybody gets

35:53

on the same page with the Knicks. So

35:55

I would say, but I still think Jets.

35:57

It's football. I would say Jets won

36:00

next to at the moment, That's what I would say.

36:02

You ever have one of those moments going to

36:04

a press conference where you

36:07

you get embarrassed by the coach in

36:10

New York? Absolutely yes,

36:12

Do you have a bad one?

36:14

Well, I think the

36:16

most difficult one was Riley

36:20

in ninety five when

36:22

they lost Game seven in Indiana.

36:24

When you missed a you know, the finger

36:26

roll, and everybody

36:29

knew that Pat was going to leave because

36:32

you know, he hadn't signed his new contract. Everybody

36:34

knew that, you know, he was the team

36:36

was older, they weren't going to be as good. And

36:39

so when he did that press conference

36:41

that Sunday afternoon in

36:43

New York, I asked him, I

36:45

said, Pat, is this your last year coaching?

36:48

And I love Riley? Love him. I know you love him

36:50

too. I love Riley. I still always

36:52

one my favorites. He is my favorite. And I

36:54

asked him, Patt, this is it? Hey, are

36:56

you done? And you know me, I love dance

36:59

to ask those quests and those press conferences

37:01

in those days opened up a big fat

37:03

mouth. But I asked him that and

37:06

he didn't give me an answer, and I felt so bad

37:08

for the poor guy because we all knew

37:11

that he was leaving, and he was only after four years

37:13

and they had not won a championship yet. That

37:15

is an awkward one, I think, you

37:17

know, obviously. The other one that's awkward

37:19

is the Parcels thing. You remember that one

37:22

when he left New England and you

37:24

know, he had the speakerphone press

37:26

conference with the Jet media

37:28

because he was going to come coach the Jets, and

37:31

they had to organize it through the you

37:34

know, through the Commissioner's office with the compensation.

37:37

And I remember we all went to Webster

37:40

Hall there was whatever the hole was caught in Hempstead

37:43

fit with the medium in that big

37:45

theater and Frank Ramos, the great

37:47

Jet PR guy, put a little speakerphone

37:50

on a chair in the

37:52

middle of the auditorium and I

37:55

said, Bill, is this fair to New England?

37:57

You have a contract to bail out on the Patriots?

38:00

And I said it from one hundred yards away?

38:02

And he said who was that?

38:03

Who was that?

38:04

He I in So I went down

38:07

to the speaker phone on

38:09

the freaking on this on the

38:11

shelf there, I said, Bell, can you

38:13

hear me?

38:13

Now?

38:15

That was a funny one too. I was in ninety

38:17

that was whatever that was, what ninety five, ninety

38:19

six, ninety four, whatever it was.

38:21

I you know, with the years that I spent in

38:23

New York, I'm so happy

38:25

that I got dressed down by parcels. In

38:27

one of his press conferences, pat

38:30

Riley did it to.

38:31

Me, it's a badge

38:33

of.

38:33

Honor, ye, because it'll

38:35

humble you like you got to be willing to

38:37

ask a tough question, but be

38:40

willing with whatever repercussions

38:42

are going to happen.

38:43

Good point.

38:43

And I remember Parcells saying how

38:46

many games have you coached?

38:48

Oh?

38:51

And I said none? He goes

38:53

exactly. And pat Riley

38:55

didn't answer a question during the NBA

38:57

Finals. He didn't answer a question. Uh.

39:00

And Jack Ramsey gave me the question to

39:02

ask him, because I said, really, Jack, give

39:04

me one that Ryles will have to answer.

39:07

And Jack's like, Dan, you need

39:09

to ask him this. So I

39:11

asked him and I'm I'm ready

39:13

for Oh, what a great question. He

39:16

didn't answer it, and then I came

39:18

back. I came back over to doctor Jack,

39:20

the nicest man ever, and he says,

39:23

what did he say?

39:24

Dan?

39:24

I go, He didn't say anything.

39:26

Jack.

39:27

He left me hanging.

39:29

Jack, you and Jack had How about the old Lupa

39:31

could have read Holtzman thing when Lupka was

39:33

second guest on Holtzman and Holtsman

39:36

was asked a question in the press conference after

39:38

a game and that Lupi was says,

39:40

Mike, why don't you handle that? I

39:42

mean, you know what good? It's a hot shot?

39:44

You answered, you're the expert. Good

39:47

to talk to you and thank you. You love your Danny.

39:49

You are the best.

39:50

Thanks for combing your hair.

39:53

I did for you.

39:55

Juch for you.

39:56

Mad Dog Russo the host

39:58

of mad Dog Unleashed on Syria XM

40:00

channel eighty too. He's shown up

40:02

a couple of times and it looked like he just rolled out

40:04

of bed. I think his wife probably

40:07

said, let me comb your hair. Get

40:09

your set up so high heat. You

40:12

can see that on MLB. And of course

40:14

he's on First Take every Wednesday.

40:16

Update the poll results. There seating for hour two.

40:21

Yeah, and we got a lot.

40:22

Of people weighing in on the bee topic, believe it or

40:24

not, a lot of people.

40:25

Well, we're talking to the bee keeper. He'll join

40:27

us coming up top of the ourn. Right.

40:28

We talked to a med dog and the beekeeper.

40:32

The swarm of bees is still winning. I'm

40:34

surprised by that, Okay, I

40:37

thought more people would come around to a

40:39

dog. Yeah, the dog attack seems

40:42

particularly terrible. Goda, admit it

40:44

does.

40:45

Yeah, it does. Yeah.

40:47

Yeah, pull like there was a mean dog in your

40:49

backyard and a bee nest that

40:51

you're going to try to take down. It seems like you go

40:53

look at the bees nest and go I'm not doing that.

40:55

I'm gonna call a professional. Once you walk

40:57

out to the backyard, the dog could take control of the situation

41:00

quickly.

41:00

Yes, it could do that. Yeah. The bees don't care

41:02

about you. I don't think so. Until you get into

41:05

their world and God forbid,

41:07

you know, you touch the hive or they

41:10

you know, they think the queen is threatened, then

41:13

you're in trouble. We will talk

41:15

to the famous bee keeper who was there

41:17

with the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers. He

41:20

got to throw out the first pitch after he got

41:22

rid of all the bees. Final Hour on
