Network. If you could get a totally

0:51

honest answer with Tom Brady

0:54

on any topic, what would you want to know about

0:56

Tom? If you're the quarterbackh of for Baltimore

0:58

Ravens with their person now, how

1:01

1:32

Nance will join us on loan from CBS

1:34

Sports. Where would he be today?

1:37

I know he would be in Augusta. Would he be

1:39

at the tournament? Would he be broadcasting

1:41

today at eleven o'clock

1:43

Eastern? So Jim will join us coming up here in a

1:45

moment in what does he think Augusta is going to

1:47

look like? In November Age

1:50

seven seven, three d P show Email andressdpat

1:52

Dan Patrick dot Com. A

1:55

couple of things to mention here. We spent

1:57

some time talking about Howard Stearns

1:59

in view with Tom Brady. There were a couple of things that stood

2:02

out more on the personal side, because the

2:04

professional side the patriot

2:06

side. I didn't think I would get much out of

2:08

that, and I didn't. Now people

2:10

said, do you really think that Tom Brady doesn't

2:13

care about his legacy? This is what Brady

2:15

told Howard Stern. I

2:17

never cared about legacy. I mean I could

2:20

give it about that's never. I

2:22

never once when I was in high school, said, Man, I can't

2:24

wait for what my football legacy

2:27

looks like. I mean, that's

2:29

a very it says not me. That's

2:32

not my personality. So why

2:34

would I choose a different place.

2:38

It's because it was just time. I don't

2:40

know what to say other than that, like I

2:42

had done everything. I accomplished

2:44

everything I could in two decades with

2:47

an incredible organization, incredible group of

2:49

people, and that will never change. And

2:51

no one can ever take that away from me.

2:54

No one can ever take those experience or super Bowl

2:56

championships away from us. He's

3:00

when when he talks about this, you

3:02

know when you're saying it was just time, Well,

3:06

something happened for it to become time.

3:09

What are the series of events that led up

3:11

to that. That's what I was curious about. Yeah,

3:14

it was time, you know, it run its

3:16

course. He just wanted to have fun and

3:19

try something new. But time

3:22

is vague. It was time, But

3:24

what led up to that? Is there a way they could

3:26

have salvaged this? That's what I want to know. The

3:30

other thing is he talked about he was

3:32

a victim of what is

3:34

part of the reason for the success of the Patriots.

3:37

Everybody's interchangeable, and he talked about

3:39

Belichick, you know, doing that. Belichick's

3:42

a businessman, Tom, you would

3:44

take it personally. Bill did

3:46

this to everybody from good

3:48

players, great players, to you

3:50

know, average players. And Brady talked

3:53

about that, I'm not going to respond

3:55

to every rumor or

3:57

assumption that's made other than his

4:00

responsibility as coaches to try to get

4:02

the best player for the team, not only

4:04

in the short term, but in the long term as well.

4:06

So what I could control was trying to be the best

4:09

I could be in both of those situations.

4:11

Also, so I

4:14

got into unchartered territory as

4:16

an athlete because I

4:19

started to break the mold of

4:21

what you know, so many other athletes

4:25

had experience. So I got to a point where I

4:27

was old, I was an older athlete, and

4:29

he started a plan for the future, which

4:31

is what his responsibility is. And

4:34

I don't fault him for that, and that's what

4:36

he should be doing. That's what every coach should be doing.

4:39

Yeah, and Tom's dad talked about

4:41

this a couple of years ago, saying that his son

4:44

would eventually be the victim of, you

4:46

know, the same thing that Belichick did to all these

4:48

players. And you can run

4:51

down the list. They had great players, and

4:53

Bill would get rid of you a year early.

4:55

We always applauded him. He'd get

4:57

rid of you a year earlier than LA.

5:01

And that's what they did with Tom Brady.

5:03

In Belichick's mind, I'm

5:05

a businessman and we

5:07

were in the business. We were in the business of winning super

5:09

Bowls for twenty years. Now

5:12

I'm going to be in business with somebody else

5:14

to try to win a super Bowl. Same

5:16

thing with Richard Seymour with tylaw

5:18

with lawyer malloy, run down the list of

5:21

players who have played there. Bill

5:24

Belichick is a cutthroat

5:26

businessman. The

5:28

employee takes it personally. Belichick

5:31

doesn't because he can't.

5:33

Yeah, the one thing I'd like to know, and I don't think

5:36

Howard would ask him to this deep of a sports

5:38

question, But did Belichick side

5:40

with Garoppolo a few years ago? And

5:42

that's set up where we are today. Like I

5:45

believe that Belichick wanted to go with Garoppolo

5:47

move on from Brady. At some point Robert

5:50

Kraft said nope and put a stop to it, and

5:52

that led Brady to where we are today

5:54

with Tampa. That he said, Okay, you try to move on

5:56

from me a few years ago. Now I'll move on from

5:58

you. But I don't know if how Stern

6:00

ask about deflate Kate, I didn't. It was a two

6:02

hour interview. But

6:05

if you say, all right, you're you're done

6:08

with the Patriots, you've moved on, Um,

6:11

how did you feel when it didn't? You know,

6:13

it didn't seem like you're owner and coach backed

6:15

you start there? How

6:19

how do you how do you think those footballs got deflated?

6:21

You know? Okay, so I'm interested to look a little

6:24

bit in that, But I think really the

6:26

gold was, you know, it was Tom Brady

6:28

the person. Because Tom Brady the football player

6:30

is really good at not telling you anything about

6:32

Tom Brady the football player. He

6:34

wasn't that good and trying to shield

6:37

the you know, questions from him and his wife.

6:39

That to me was really interesting where

6:42

he was going to OTAs and she's saying

6:44

no, no, no, it's it's voluntary.

6:46

I want you here holding up your end of the bargain.

6:49

That to me I found really really

6:51

interesting. And then there's a quote al

6:54

Michaels who will join us tomorrow. Al

6:56

said the Patriots rate no, and they

6:58

sat down with Brady and he said the most miserable

7:01

or unhappy ain't no quarterback.

7:05

So people knew it, people

7:07

felt it. I guess we just didn't

7:09

want to believe it. Jim Nance, lead play

7:11

by play voice of the Masters, the NFL and

7:13

CBS NCAA Final Four

7:16

man, he would have been busy this week instead,

7:19

what's your schedule? Like? You

7:22

know, every day you come up with creative

7:24

ways to try to make it a little bit different

7:27

and what it is? And final

7:29

way, hello friends, Hello friends, and all

7:32

friends there, Danton everyone.

7:35

It's a constant living

7:38

reminder of where I'm supposed

7:40

to be, and it's a wonderful thing. People

7:43

have good intentions about it, but it happens

7:45

throughout the day. I think once we get through Sunday

7:49

and the final day of the scheduled

7:51

Masters, I can go back to where every day I

7:53

don't get flooded with things that make me

7:55

live in the past. It's

7:57

difficult to live in the present because

8:00

I've went through the NCAA tournament virtually

8:02

every day. Hey, you would have been going

8:04

to the regionals this week. Hey, how

8:07

how are things down at Atlanta? Yuk yuk

8:09

yat for the final four? How's one shining

8:11

moment, shooting up and now, of course we've

8:13

transitioned to already today

8:16

we're out there for the honorary starters

8:18

this morning, so you

8:21

know, it's where would you be right

8:23

now at eleven or eight East coast

8:26

time? Where would you be physically?

8:29

I would physically I

8:31

would have been on the ground since seven fifteen

8:34

ish to make sure I was in place

8:36

to watch Jack and Gary hit the ceremonial

8:39

first shot. I've been going

8:41

to Augusta since nineteen eighty six, en, and

8:43

I've never missed that moment, that ceremony,

8:46

going back to the days of Sarah's

8:48

and Nelson and Sneed and then of course Arnie

8:51

with Jack and Gary and now it's

8:53

Jack and Garry, and I've never missed

8:55

it. I just love that moment. It's it's

8:58

so heavy with nostalgia

9:00

and paying tribute

9:02

to the heritage of the game. And that's one of my honest

9:04

last, one of my favorite things of the whole

9:06

year. I get into things that people say, what are

9:08

your favorite sporting events? Is it calling?

9:11

This? Is it calling that? I love

9:13

things like the NFL schedule release, Those

9:15

are my favorite kind of sports shows, the Draft,

9:18

the NCAA bracket release, the

9:21

opening t shots at AUGUSTA.

9:24

Those are my favorite things along

9:26

the way. I'm not going to break out into Julie

9:28

Andrews from Sound of Music and seeing my

9:31

favorite things, but they are my favorite

9:33

things, and I would

9:35

have missed that right now at eleven o eight, the

9:38

round is well underway, and

9:41

who knows, I depending on who had a

9:43

hot hand early, I might have walked

9:45

out and saw someone play

9:48

late stages of their first nine or even

9:51

as maybe the first groups are approaching amen

9:53

corner, we would have been going through some

9:55

meetings. We wouldn't have been coming on the air with our

9:58

partners from ESPN for another three

10:01

to four hours. So m Lunch

10:04

is on the near horizon, which is my one chance

10:06

to sit down and really kind of catch up with

10:08

Lance, our great producers

10:10

through all these years, where we kind of start game planning

10:12

what we're going to do the rest of the day. But by the way, while

10:15

you have me in the moment, you have me on the grounds

10:17

there, I've got the late night show tonight, so I

10:19

will be here

10:21

so to speak, since seven fifteen,

10:24

and we'll be leaving the property

10:26

closer to eleven thirty

10:29

ash after we finally feed the late night

10:31

highlight show No Man, and

10:34

I love every minute of it, you know, I do.

10:36

I just I'm just you

10:39

know, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna have that sense every

10:41

day of awareness, Dana where we were supposed to be.

10:44

And by the way, maybe in here somewhere today

10:46

I would be on the phone with you anyway. We normally

10:48

we normally do something about this. Well, we

10:50

do the Jim Nance Sound Alike Contest, which you're

10:52

going to win because you're the unless

10:55

we move it to November, and then I'm think

10:58

you will you know, hello friends, and then Dogwoods

11:00

and Foliage, which we normally don't hear

11:03

at Augusta. Can you drop Foliage

11:05

for us in November. I

11:07

haven't worked mentally on how that's going to sound

11:10

or thought about the optics of what

11:12

that's going to look like. I'm just hopeful, like

11:14

everyone else, that this

11:17

sports part of our universe, which which

11:20

this country loves. It's a rabid

11:23

sports nation. I just hope that by

11:25

the time the new schedule for the Masters

11:27

November twelve through the fifteenth, we are

11:30

well into the sports world

11:32

being back in operational. Yeah,

11:35

and how about the fact that there'll be a Masters

11:37

in November, and of course you'll circle back

11:39

around and five months later have a

11:41

second one. So two and five months you're

11:43

going to be running a lot of soundllite content.

11:46

Had a five months which one.

11:49

I know, it's tough. It's like choosing which

11:51

child you like best, But which do you miss

11:53

the most, the Masters or the Final

11:55

Four? No,

11:58

it really is. It's it's

12:01

impossible to say which one you

12:03

missed the most, because it's basically

12:05

a very clever way. Dan, I give you major

12:07

props for that. Have asked me which one I love the most?

12:10

Thank you and I We've

12:12

been down this road a

12:14

few times, but it really is

12:16

difficult to not

12:20

be at Augusta right now now. I lived through

12:22

all of March. As I said, I'm

12:25

longing to be wherever

12:27

the site might have been. Starting with the

12:30

Big Ten Tournament, I got to do one game, a

12:32

regular season game at my alma mater, which

12:34

meant a lot to me. Downe at Houston is an unbelievable

12:37

chance to go back on campus. But sitting

12:40

with Bill Raftery, Grant Hill, working

12:42

with Tracy Wilson and our crew, I love it.

12:44

I love it, but Augusta runs

12:47

so deep through my veins. It's it's

12:49

it was the thing that most

12:51

I think inspired

12:54

me to want to one day be in

12:56

this industry. As a young kid, just listening

12:58

to the storytelling and the visuals

13:00

that came out of Augusta, I

13:03

was just crazy in love with the event. And

13:06

that's all I ever wanted to do since I was eleven

13:08

years old. I wanted to work for CBS

13:10

one day, and at that time,

13:13

if I was really being right

13:16

out in the open about it, I was

13:19

really molded into into aspiring

13:22

young broadcast or pretending pretending

13:25

because of the way CBS presented golf

13:27

and the NFL. I loved the

13:30

NFL coverage back in those days, and those

13:32

two sports really had me as

13:35

a crazy obsessed CBS

13:37

fan. And I'm

13:39

so thankful that I've had

13:41

a chance for my life to somehow

13:44

follow that path that could only dream

13:46

of as a young kid. CBS Sports announced

13:49

it's updated programming for Saturday,

13:51

April eleventh Sunday April twelfth.

13:53

They will feature the final rounds of the O four

13:56

and the twenty nineteen Masters tournaments. Two

13:58

classic tournaments featured victories

14:00

from Phil Nicholson and Tiger Woods.

14:02

I heard that you spoke to both Phil and

14:04

Tiger recently. Would you talk about We

14:07

didn't speak. We spent hours

14:10

actually taping each

14:12

of their lookbacks. Phil

14:15

will be on Saturday, the two thousand and

14:17

four rebroadcast of Phil's

14:21

first Green Jacket, and

14:23

it was an amazing day. I had never looked

14:25

back at that day of golf, or that broadcast,

14:29

i should say. And Phil is

14:32

in maybe every third segment

14:35

calling golf with me for at

14:37

time, stretches of fifteen minutes, maybe

14:39

longer. Very

14:42

generous both of them with their time, and just

14:44

exceptional insight from them both. And

14:47

we were with all day, all

14:49

yesterday morning with Tiger

14:52

starting at eight o'clock my time

14:54

out here in California, and I'm on my computer

14:56

at Pebble Beach and Tiger

14:58

was on his at his home in Florida.

15:01

It's just like Phil had been from

15:03

his home down south of me here in California,

15:06

and we just did the whole zoom treatment with

15:09

the broadcast running in a center box

15:11

on our screen, and we

15:13

called Golf and same thing Tiger.

15:16

This was not an interview. This was several

15:18

hours of pouring over

15:22

tiny little details about how

15:24

it got done, key situational moments,

15:27

what were you thinking? And we're just following

15:29

along the broadcast feed dance, So there

15:31

were no edits, there's no later post

15:34

edit. It's the broadcast

15:37

feed with the broadcast

15:39

audio as an undercurrent. And

15:42

what I thought was pretty amazing is how

15:45

both of them transitioned into

15:47

like the analyst role so

15:50

smoothly, so I could be, for example,

15:53

Tigers standing on the tea at

15:55

twelve, which we all know last year's tournament,

15:58

that was really the pivotal point in the

16:00

entire In final round, four

16:02

of the last six players hit it in the water, including

16:04

the other two in his group Mulinari

16:06

and fen Now, so Tiger's

16:09

pondering what to do. Francesco

16:11

has already hit it in the water, playing with him

16:13

and being up first. Then there's

16:16

a there's a cut to Xander

16:18

Shofley hitting his second shot. He's right in

16:20

the mix. He's hitting his second shot

16:22

at thirteen, So you know, I steer the

16:24

commentary. Let's go to thirteen. Here's Shopley

16:26

now going for the green and two, and Tiger

16:29

just went right into some commentary about

16:31

Shopley's skill and his ability and him

16:33

being in the mix and hearing the roars from

16:36

over at thirteen. Actually it was it was kJ

16:38

Choi and Ernie Els who were who

16:41

were over at thirteen, and what was circling

16:43

in his head because he heard the reaction

16:46

from over at thirteen

16:48

and heard the roars. Cut back to

16:50

tiger shot at twelve, move ahead

16:52

to Brooks, kept over here at fourteen,

16:55

Cantley for Bertie and we

16:58

did this through the course of the final round, not

17:00

every segment. You're

17:02

amazing you You're a machine now

17:05

you are you are that? That's great? So that'll

17:07

be coming up this weekend on Saturday

17:10

and Sunday. Are you in your office?

17:13

I am, It's okay. Can you do

17:15

in a bad state right now? Can you do

17:17

me a favor? Then turn upside down as I've

17:19

been trying to turn into a studio doing these zoom

17:22

shows. So I

17:24

need some I need some syrio. I'm gonna have the

17:26

time though, to reorganize what am I

17:28

looking for? Okay? Could you could you do us

17:30

a fav You're gonna do You're gonna do the

17:32

nation a favor. Oh

17:35

okay, I need you to get up. I

17:38

need you to go into the backyard and turn

17:40

on the Augusta music. And

17:42

that's problematic. Why you

17:45

know why I access

17:47

it off my phone. Now I'm not sure

17:49

that I can. Oh no, yeah,

17:52

let me see if I can. Okay, okay, interesting,

17:54

and I do a phone call and go to my sonos.

17:58

20:26

Okay, I'm

is our one shining moment. This

20:39

will have to be a great

20:41

substitute for I had it all the way

20:43

to the music cuts, unable

20:47

to play, unable

20:51

to play it, says, never had that come

20:53

up before. It has to be because I'm

20:55

on the phone. Okay, we're going to play the

20:57

music, and I'm gonna let you

21:00

act as if the Master's is

21:02

happening right now. So I don't

21:04

feel right about it. It's do

21:06

your vale. We should just do a little bit. We'll just try

21:09

to do a little bit. But okay, here we go. I'm

21:11

going to do it under the heading of this Dan, We're

21:16

yeah, friends,

21:20

welcome the Thursday

21:25

at the Master's. Our

21:28

hearts and thoughts go out to all

21:30

of you, and I'm being very serious. This

21:33

has been the most fascinating time for any

21:35

of us in our lives, and

21:38

we're going to get through this together, one

21:41

step at a time. Stay safe, stay

21:45

home, stay healthy. God

21:47

bless you all on this holy week, and

21:49

we'll look forward to seeing you in November.

21:58

That was golf applause. Now,

22:03

if you don't done I've shut myself out of locked

22:05

myself out of my home. I

22:08

was trying to go back to my office.

22:16

You know, we had to deliver the

22:18

message above all that's in the

22:20

heart because these

22:23

are these

22:25

are the wildest, craziest and

22:29

it's just you know, it's really sad times.

22:31

But I do want to bring

22:33

back some optimism and some hope.

22:36

That's what Spring is all about, right Dan, I

22:38

mean, you look it up.

22:40

Spring is the season of renewal.

22:42

It's all about hope. And you got Tony Romo

22:45

back. We never lost him, but you got

22:47

him back. Yeah, he never want anywhere. Where

22:49

did he go? He went to the banks

22:53

for me. Okay, he's still

22:55

at the bank. Hello,

22:59

Hello, Way. We're

23:01

having a lot of back and forth

23:04

by text every day. I love the guy and

23:08

he's he's down sheltering with

23:10

his home in Dallas. And

23:13

yeah, I'm so happy that that all worked

23:15

out. We've got many things.

23:17

I listen, there's so many people

23:20

right now that are suffering, and

23:23

it's it's why your show

23:26

and to be able to make people laugh a little bit

23:28

and be able to still have

23:31

a place in the sports universe is why it's so

23:33

important, because you

23:36

know, you need, you need certain things to keep

23:39

you uplifted. So if that's where your role serves

23:41

you, keep going on. I mean, I'm sitting here on the sidelines.

23:43

I've got nowhere to go, and

23:45

I'm making the

23:48

most out of this situation. I never

23:51

in my life, never in my career, ever had

23:53

this kind of time with my family.

23:55

And we're aware

23:57

of how horrific it is to clear

23:59

back in New York, but all over the number of thousands

24:02

of people that are affected by it. And you

24:04

know, we our

24:06

family is you know, we're a prayerful bunch

24:08

and we're really thinking everybody at this time.

24:11

And it's just nice to be able to

24:14

get on the phone talk a little bit, laugh a little

24:16

bit. But I do

24:18

want to say this. I spend a lot of time

24:21

watching and listening and more

24:23

importantly coming up with my own conclusions

24:27

on these data

24:29

spots, data places that are making

24:31

projections and where we're going to go, where's

24:33

the what,

24:36

where is the peak?

24:39

When's the flattening of the curve? All these things we've

24:41

really learned about as a nation. And

24:44

this is the tough weekend, Dan, as you know, this

24:46

is like, this is what it's supposed to be at its peak

24:48

in the next few days. If you look at that data

24:50

that Bill Gates Funds at

24:53

University of Washington study, and

24:55

thankfully they brought their numbers down their

24:57

projections significantly. They've adjusted twice

25:00

in the last week. And again

25:02

I'm an amateur at this, reading this

25:04

stuff and printing it out, and it's it's

25:08

really easy to go online and find it. But

25:11

if you look at these curves and everything, and

25:13

if we all keep doing what we're doing, it's really key we

25:15

don't let go of it. Now. You stay at home, stay

25:18

away from others, keep the six foot distance when

25:20

you have to go to the market, all these things that we're practicing.

25:23

If we do this, I can't speak

25:25

to what this means as far as rekindling the

25:28

sports universe, but I can't tell you this as

25:30

a society. The numbers are

25:33

going to drop and drop and drop significantly

25:36

and fast. And we'll

25:38

have a summer where it's

25:40

our hospitals are not going to be anywhere

25:42

close to what they have right now as far

25:45

as being populated, and we're

25:47

at least going to have a stretch. I can't speak

25:49

to the seasonality of it, but things

25:51

are going to get better soon. That's my interpretation

25:54

of what I look at the numbers and I'm hearing a lot of

25:56

these experts, and I love

25:58

to meet these these folk like Anthony

26:01

Fauci and Deborah Burkes who

26:03

never get a day off and are trying to lead

26:06

us through science. Uh. They

26:09

this is these are the sites and the data the day

26:11

look at. But it's it's it's a tough

26:13

time right now, but it's trending.

26:16

It's trending because we're doing the right things

26:19

in a very positive way. And I'm

26:21

I'm excited about that. I can't wait for all of

26:23

us to be able to go

26:26

to our next chapter in our lives. Uh.

26:28

Dan, for you, you keep working. Did

26:31

you get back in the house. I'm

26:33

still trying. I'm trying to find an opening. The

26:36

house is still asleep. Yeah,

26:38

I'm wandering around my driveway right

26:40

now. How are

26:42

you in your road your pajamas? What are

26:45

you doing? I'm already

26:47

actually dressed for the day, soured

26:50

and dressed and ready to go.

26:52

Hey, it's Thursday at the Master's Sport.

26:54

Think. But I want

26:56

to say this because I think this is

26:58

relatable for people. We've hit

27:01

this pause button on life.

27:04

All of us never saw it coming. And

27:07

you know, we now got a sense of

27:09

things that we kind of rushed

27:11

through, maybe more than we had in the past. I

27:14

mean, I through all the

27:16

gloom. I feel so thankful

27:18

to be able to have this time with my wife and kids.

27:21

And I know a lot of people can relate to that, and maybe

27:23

they're they're still crazy at this point,

27:25

but you're going to have a time in your life when you're going to look

27:28

back and say, I got to you know, I got

27:30

to really play with my kids for a long stretch.

27:33

And now as you again recalibrate

27:35

and you go back and figure out what you want to do when

27:38

you get back on the treadmill of life, maybe

27:41

we allocate our time in a little better

27:43

fashion than we did before and we don't

27:45

rush through things. And you

27:48

know, that's that's what I'm

27:50

going to do. Out of all of us. It's going

27:52

to try my best to figure out

27:55

even more ways to cut corners, to stay

27:57

at home a little longer, get back a little faster,

28:00

do the things that are important to my children because

28:02

we're on the run all the time. And

28:06

you know, well, this has been such a reality

28:08

check for for us as a nation and all

28:11

citizens of the world, and we're gonna

28:13

learn from this. Well, thanks for being a good sport.

28:15

Hopefully you get inside and call

28:17

us if you get bored. Jim, we're always here

28:19

for I'll leave the light on frame. I

28:23

just the biggest bumber of all is I couldn't

28:25

play the speaker out of the back.

28:27

I. Oh, well, I know we're

28:29

gonna tell. But I could have done it through

28:32

I could have done it through my

28:34

wife's computer in the kitchen. Yeah.

28:38

Next next time, we'll rehearse.

28:41

Now I might get better. Row. Yeah, I'm sure

28:44

you do. Here's the thing. I

28:46

Courty's up, I'm on with

28:48

I'm on with your great friend Dan Patrick right now?

28:50

Could you because she

28:54

says you're making a sock I'm so lazy. Well,

28:58

we'll do you night. All right, we'll

29:00

tell Courtney. I said hello and thanks again.

29:02

Jim. Hello. I

29:05

was going to play it through her computer, but I didn't know

29:07

how to get in the house. And now I have. You've

29:10

got to go, Thank you. I've got to go practice

29:13

some more music narration,

29:15

Thank you, gusta melody on, see you dad.

29:17

All right, that's Jim

29:19

29:48

things all the time, like email, your

29:50

Instagram, but what about checking something as important

29:53

as your credit? Just a

29:55

couple of things I wanted to bring to

29:57

your attention. Lebron James was talking

30:00

about the season now on hold and

30:02

the fact that we might not have a

30:04

championship decided here, and he

30:07

talked about that lack of closure. I will

30:09

have some satisfaction, like I said, on just being

30:11

with my brothers, being with my guys.

30:14

Closure, No, but to be

30:16

proud of what we've been able to accomplis to this point.

30:18

I'll be able to look back into Mike. Okay, you know we

30:20

get some special in that small period of time.

30:23

Yeah, this is a great opportunity obviously

30:25

for Lebron and they would be the

30:27

co favorites. I don't know what Vegas would have

30:29

with the Bucks and then the Lakers

30:31

and the Clippers, but a great opportunity.

30:34

And that's why I was told the NBA trying

30:36

their best to crown a champion this year.

30:38

I don't know how that's possible, but that's what they're

30:41

going to try to do. And I think that they'll limit

30:43

the number of regular season games and then they'll limit

30:46

the number of postseason games as well, but

30:48

they're they're bent on doing that. Shack

30:51

as a podcast and Shack

30:53

had Joe Burrow on, and Joe

30:56

Burrow, the LSU quarterback, had

30:58

this to say to Shaquille O'Neal. There

31:00

is definitely some disappointment. I was really

31:03

looking forward to, you know,

31:05

walking that stage, walking that rock carpet and

31:07

hear my name called. But you

31:10

know, I think having it at home with my

31:12

family is going to be just as good, you

31:14

know, getting drafted to getting drafted.

31:17

You know, I don't I don't really have any plan ex

31:19

I don't really know what it's going to look

31:21

like right now I'm planning. I'm

31:24

just sitting on my couch with my parents and Washington on

31:26

TV. I guess all right, that's

31:28

Joe Burrow with Shaquille

31:30

O'Neal on his podcast. There By

31:33

the way, check out the DP show store.

31:35

We've got all kinds of new T shirts. Quarantine

31:38

this is one we have Tampa Bay the

31:40

beer here t shirt. We're proud of that help

31:43

aid hourly and service industry workers

31:45

who have been impacted by the pandemic. O to

31:47

Dan Patrick dot com to check those out.

31:50

Yes, Pauli, I was looking at the NBA

31:53

season at the NBA season ended right now

31:55

with the standings they

31:57

are what they are. If you were the NBA, would

31:59

you play a few games if you could,

32:02

or go at the standings now? Because right now the

32:04

New Orleans Pelicans are three

32:07

games out of the eighth spot, and you'd love to have the Pelicans

32:09

in their Round one right now they're not well. I

32:11

don't think you could have that strategy if

32:14

you're the NBA home office of how do we

32:16

get the Pelicans in the playoffs? I think you

32:18

actually do because the Pelicans are having a great second

32:20

half of the season for them. Yeah, but you can't go,

32:22

you know what, we were gonna have five games, but because

32:24

the Pelicans are three back, like you could

32:26

get to the last game and go you don't want On second thought,

32:29

we're gonna add five more games because we want

32:31

to get the Pelicans in here. I think you could say it.

32:33

You think Fritzie's

32:36

scoreboard. The numbers are twenty five

32:39

and eighteen, twenty

32:41

five and yesterday was twenty five nineteen.

32:44

That's right. Okay, we did have a winner, Brian

32:47

Bridges, the big winner, and you get some DP show

32:50

gear. So twenty five eighteen

32:52

today twenty relating to

32:54

today's guests. Okay, so Jack

32:57

Nicholas, Jack Nicholas, eighteen majors,

32:59

that's the second hand. All right. Twenty

33:02

five we had Ernie Johnson

33:05

on doctor was Myron Rolls

33:07

number twenty five ding

33:10

ding ding ding yesterday and Nicholas

33:13

yesterday was twenty five nineteen,

33:16

which was All Star appearances

33:18

for Hank Aaron. Do you realize he was in

33:20

He was an All Star twenty five times some

33:24

of them. That was interesting that number because a

33:26

couple of years they had two All Star Game five

33:29

times and what was the other nineteen

33:32

nineteen was cal Ripken nineteen All Star Pear.

33:34

Okay, that's good from last year, all right, all

33:36

right, that's good. Let me get to Dave in

33:38

Indianapolis, who's been on hold for a little while. Hi, Dave,

33:41

what do you have for me today? And

33:47

Dave's gone? I think

33:49

I kept him on hold a little too long there,

33:51

so we uh or do we have him now?

33:55

David Indianapolis? He's

33:57

gone zoo all right? Dave dropped. He's

34:00

probably locked out of his house like Jim Nancis.

34:02

I think that's so funny.

34:06

I got a stat of the day

34:08

here on this day,

34:10

nineteen sixty five, the debut of the Asterdome.

34:13

Did you have that in this day in sports history? Polling?

34:16

Don't? Oh? Okay?

34:18

The reason why I bring it up? The

34:20

New York Times called it the world's largest

34:23

air conditioned room. Nineteen

34:25

sixty five, Houston Asterdome.

34:28

They the opponent.

34:30

The first exhibition game was

34:33

played with the Yankees in the Astros.

34:39

There were forty seven almost forty

34:41

eight thousand fans, including the

34:43

president Lyndon Johnson. Mickey

34:47

Mantell was put in the leadoff

34:49

spot so he could have the honor

34:51

of being the first player

34:53

to bat in the Asterdome. So he gets a base

34:56

hit, and then he became the first

34:58

player to homer in this stag adium, and

35:01

that was the only run the Yankees had. They lost to the

35:03

Astros two one. Also, I

35:05

think that they used orange baseballs

35:08

because there's a glare

35:10

in their players always talked about it. It It was hard to catch

35:12

a fly ball in the Astrodome, but

35:15

there was a glare in the dome, and

35:17

they experimented with orange baseballs

35:20

in that game. But that was nineteen sixty

35:22

five, the Houston Asterdome. Oh,

35:25

David's back. Thank god, David's

35:27

back from indianappas. Hi Dave, Hi,

35:29

Dan, what's on your

35:31

mind? I'm sorry.

35:34

I'm five nine two five okay,

35:37

okay, And I'm not as technological

35:39

savvy as my kids, just like Jack Nicholas

35:43

um Um and uh

35:46

no Ill. I was at the eighty three

35:48

and eighty four drafts drafts for the

35:50

Colts. Oh, you worked for the Colts. Yeah.

35:53

I worked for the Colts from summer

35:55

of eighty two to two thousand and nine, all

35:58

right, And it was interesting.

36:02

And because of the recession, Jim

36:05

Mercy let twenty five of us go in two

36:07

thousand and nine and

36:12

we didn't even have a chance to work from home.

36:14

So but interesting the way

36:16

things are playing out now, yes it is,

36:18

thank you. Dave, it's going to be

36:21

virtual draft, all right. We'll come back

36:23

interesting this day sports history that has

36:25

to you know, touches my heart because

36:28

it has to do with guys who love to shoot

36:30

and not pass the ball. I have that for you.

36:33

Coming up. Also, we'll explore the

36:36

new game with the NBA Horse rules,

36:38

Like what are the rules? We'll figure

36:40

that out as well. Since they borrow the

36:42

idea from us, we might as well help him come up with the rules

36:45

as well. We're back after this. What we learned,

36:47

what's in store tomorrow? This

36:49

37:23

What we learn found the results of the poll question

37:26

this day in Sports History? All

37:28

of that coming up. Do we have the rules

37:31

for horse? Because

37:33

I wondered can you when we had Damian

37:36

Lillard on, I said, can you dunk

37:38

here? Or you're allowed to dunk? And I'm

37:40

going to guess when you play horse, nobody

37:43

dunks, because if that's the case Zach

37:46

Levine, I might put my money on him. If

37:48

he just runs and leaves from the foul

37:50

line. I don't

37:52

know who else can run and leave from the foul line

37:54

and dunk. Yeah, Paul, I did. They

37:56

don't have any rules from the NFNBA yet,

37:58

but there are some general horse rules. There's some

38:01

horse competitions out there around the country, and

38:04

shots can be attempted from anywhere on the court. No dunking

38:07

is very common with horse

38:10

rules. If you're left handed,

38:12

that player you make a shot left handed,

38:14

that other player can do it with his dominant hand.

38:17

There's there's certain universal horse rules.

38:19

Okay, that should be

38:21

about it. Have we Trey

38:23

Young's involved in this, Have we seen a final

38:26

roster? And is there any time frame for when they're going

38:28

to do this, because I haven't seen

38:30

that. I just saw that there are a couple of guys

38:32

who signed up, Zach Levine and Trey Young. That

38:35

would be fun. You know, if you do it real time,

38:37

when you're going against each other, you can see

38:39

what that person did with their shot. Yeah,

38:42

Paul, Chris Paul's involved, Trey Young, Zach

38:44

Levine, and w NBA players and

38:47

recent NBA alums are

38:49

involved. Okay, could

38:52

that be so a recent like

38:54

Dwyane Wade? Would

38:57

he do it to help out Chris Paul, Ray,

38:59

Allen Ray. I just saw Ray

39:01

on TV this morning, maybe dusting

39:03

and off. I think Ray will always be ready

39:05

to shoot, and he

39:07

looks like he's in great shape. All

39:10

right, this day in sports history, what do you have for me?

39:12

Since I took the big one? The Astrodome

39:14

opened up and played its first game the Yankees

39:16

in the Astros soccer

39:19

Koiville had three goals. In

39:21

nineteen twelve, the first exhibition baseball

39:23

game was held at Fenway Park in Boston.

39:26

Red Sox versus Harvard in some type

39:28

of exhibition game nineteen thirteen,

39:30

Brooklyn Dodgers ebbotts Field Open. Here's

39:32

a weird one. Nineteen forty five, the NFL

39:35

officials decreed that was mandatory

39:37

for football players to wear socks in all

39:39

league games. I didn't know in the early forties

39:42

players were going al fresco with their feet,

39:44

but I guess that was a new rule that you had

39:46

to wear socks. Must wear socks nineteen forty

39:48

five. Okay, that's it. On this

39:51

day, nineteen seventy eight, final

39:53

day of the NBA regular season, David

39:56

Thompson scored thirty

39:58

two points in the first quarter in route

40:00

to seventy three points in

40:03

a two point loss to Detroit. At the

40:05

time, only Will Chamberlain had ever scored

40:07

more in an NBA game. Now he's

40:09

doing that because he's trying to win the scoring title. Later

40:12

that night, George Gurwan plays

40:14

a game where he knows he needs fifty

40:16

eight points to win the scoring title. He

40:19

goes out and almost gets that in

40:21

the first half. Ice went for twenty

40:23

in the first quarter, and then he

40:26

went for thirty three in the second

40:28

quarter. He's got fifty three at

40:30

a halftime. Then he won

40:33

the scoring title. He

40:35

finished with sixty three, and

40:37

he won it barely over David Thompson,

40:39

the closest scoring race in NBA

40:42

history, twenty seven point two

40:44

to twenty seven point one. But

40:47

didn't didn't David Robinson

40:50

do this on the final day of a regular

40:52

season to beat Shock in the scoring

40:54

title or something? Does that sound right? It

40:57

feels like David put up like

40:59

six one, Yeah, Paulie,

41:02

David Robinson scored seventy one

41:04

point on April twenty

41:06

fourth, nineteen ninety four to

41:08

win the scoring title. He trilled

41:10

Trail Shaquie O'Neil by thirty three points. He only

41:13

need thirty three in that game. Oh

41:15

but he put the hit the game. Oh my god,

41:18

seventy one all right, that

41:20

was this day in sports history. Mcleven. Final results

41:22

of the Hard Hitting Poll question, Okay,

41:25

would you rather your kid be a doctor or a pro athlete?

41:27

Fifty three percent said doctor? Yeah,

41:30

Now did we ever kind of zero win on

41:32

your son is going to be the second

41:35

base How about the second baseman for the Minnesota

41:37

Twins. We said the Detroit Tigers

41:39

and they won what forty seven games last year? And

41:41

then yeah, I had a back room, guys

41:43

pulled eleven different players played left field

41:45

for the Marritors last year, and none of us have heard

41:48

of any of them.

41:50

How about the second baseman? Brian

41:52

Doser's not there anymore, didn't they?

41:55

Who's the second baseman for the Twins? I

41:58

have no idea? Man, Yeah,

42:01

I don't know either. Oh, actually yeah I do. It's

42:03

Jonathan Shoop, Shoot there

42:05

it is. He used to be for the Tigers.

42:07

That's why I just look okay, But

42:10

but it's spelled like scoop, dn't

42:13

it could be I don't have that information, right, isn't

42:16

it sc h o

42:18

op? Yeah, exactly

42:21

shoop there it is all right, let's

42:23

go around the room. What we learned on the program? Todd? What did

42:25

you learn today? Jack Nichols has been busy

42:28

at home watching Caddyshack, Stripes other

42:30

movies during this quarantine period, and he's

42:32

got all of his golf clubs except for

42:34

the most famous golf club he ever used,

42:36

and that was the putter in the eighty six Masters.

42:39

But he knows where it is. The tennis players

42:41

at Bill Scamlin, I think he said, Mick

42:43

Lovin, what did you learn today? Jim

42:45

42:49

should have worked shopped that a little bit there, Uh

42:56

little bored. Wat It

42:59

feels he would be doing play by play for his

43:02

kids. He's probably still outside trying to

43:04
