of the Day, poll question, stat of the Day, all
of that forthcoming. All right, there's a few things to
talk about. I don't know if there's anything that's front
and center, but I'm going to start with this because
Peter King announced that he was going to retire from
writing his column The Football Morning in America. So in

(01:38):
his column today, and this is way down the column
and I'm looking through it, he had a couple of
items there about, you know, moments and interviews and recapping
all of the years that he's done this Hall of
Fame career. So at the very end of his column,
I'm just noticing it says, I suppose the Bears are

(01:58):
going to trade the top pick. I went, okay, we
didn't leave the column with this. Then he says, I
know nothing, but that seems to be the way the
wind is blowing. So this is Peter King, and Peter
doesn't do this where he just kind of sends up
balloons and we go, h, I don't know, is that
one gonna pop? Is that one real. He doesn't do that.

(02:20):
So when Peter says this, now he's not reporting it,
and I thought, okay, because we've been speculating. What do
you do if you're the Bears. Matt Eberflus held on
for another year. Other guys got fired. There you got
Justin Fields. So Peter says, the Bears would keep Justin Fields,
trade the first pick, and they would trade it to Washington.

(02:43):
Washington would take hometown hero Caleb Williams. Then he says
that maybe if you trade that down, then you get
the second pick, maybe a second round pick, and then
a first round pick the following year. Then Peter says,
what if the Bears would trade that second pick overall
to Atlanta and then they would get the eighth pick.

(03:05):
The Falcons would get one of the quarterbacks there, Chicago
gets the eighth pick, Atlanta's second round pick, and then
a first and second round pick the next year. So
that would give them the eighth and ninth picks in
this year's draft, second round picks from Atlanta and Washington,
three first round picks, and two second round picks in

(03:26):
twenty twenty five, So you would move down seven slots
in the first round the Bears would end up with
nine picks in the first two rounds of the next
two drafts. So Peter, I mean, you have a hypothetical
or hey, now he does say I believe the Bears
are going to trade the top pick. Now he says

(03:48):
he knows nothing, but it seems to be the way
the wind is blowing. That's kind of reporting something in
my opinion based off knowing Peter King and how he
approaches these things. He's not a guy who breaks news,
not anymore. He leaves that up to Chefty and Glazier.
But this is where Peter talks to a lot of people,

(04:11):
and somebody's going to say, or he's going to ask,
and then somebody's going to say, this is what I'm hearing,
And then somebody else would say, hey, you know what
I think they're going to do. Now, all of a sudden,
it has a little bit bit of momentum and we
go into the combine week. Because if memory serves me correctly,
it was last year at this time that the Bears
and Carolina struck the deal to trade the number one

(04:34):
overall pick March ninth. So when the combine ends, everybody's
there in Indianapolis. For the most part, the gms are
there and you're able to go, Hey, come on over,
let's have a drink, let me talk to you, or
you do something privately because you don't want to be
seen publicly. Hey, I saw the gms of the Carolina
Panthers Chicago Bears having a drink. What do you think

(04:56):
they're talking about? Now you have this situation if you
keep Justin Fields certainly sounds like that according to Peter
and then you once again, you passed up on the
quarterbacks last year and you're gonna pass up on the
quarterbacks this year. You got to be absolutely positively sure

(05:18):
that Justin Fields is a franchise quarterback because you're gonna
pass up on Caleb Williams, Drake May, Jaden Daniels, and
you're gonna have Justin Fields. Well, you're gonna have to
pay him next year. You have to say to yourself,
we're gonna pay Justin Fields fifty million dollars a year

(05:40):
because imagine the leverage that Justin Fields has if he
knows that you passed on Caleb Williams, Drake May, and
Jaden Daniels, and he's gonna be like, uh, hello, how
about we talk about a contract extension there, and it's
going to cost you fifty million dollars a year. If
you're that sure, Now, maybe it's smoke. Maybe there's a look.

(06:02):
I've said this before, it's hard to trust anybody when
they're telling you something because it feels like everybody has
an agenda. Are the Bears trying to drive up the
price on Justin Fields, Hey, you want to come up
and get Caleb Williams, this is what it's going to
cost you. Maybe, But just the fact that here's Peter
saying that's kind of how the wind is blowing here.

(06:25):
I'm really surprised because if I'm Chicago and I can
reset the clock, now, I understand the logic. If you
said I can have nine first second round picks in
the next two drafts, I'm pretty set. As long as
I have somebody who's really good at drafting people, you
can have a lot of picks. As the Cleveland Browns

(06:46):
have proven years past, they didn't draft good players. But
if you're the Bears and you could get nine picks,
and you could do a complete makeover, but you would
still have Justin Fields and you would have passed on
maybe the next Patrick Mahomes, Drake May, Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams,

(07:07):
And you're going to give leverage to Justin Fields. I
don't know if he can stay healthy the way he plays,
and you're going to give him fifty million dollars. So
that kind of cotton lay attention of things that are
happening right now. And granted, Peter wouldn't have put it
in unless somebody said something that probably hit home with
him that wow, this could actually happen. You have the

(07:28):
combine coming up, and it was a year ago that
that's when the Bears and Panthers struck their deal. But man,
are you giving Justin Fields a lot of leverage? And
you're basically saying, we are attaching our franchise to you.
I like Justin Fields, but when I start to put it,
you know, paint that picture here. I mean, I have

(07:49):
to really love Justin Fields, and I don't love him.
I would love to see him in Atlanta. I'd like
to see him back home on the turf and he'd
be playing with those weapons there. That'd be a lot
of fun. But if I'm the Bears, would you have
kept Matt Eberflus the head coach if you were going

(08:12):
to move on and draft Caleb Williams. And the reason
why I say that is Caleb Williams comes in, what
if the team is not good next year? Do you
stay with the head coach or do you go out
and get a new head coach. If I'm going to
take Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels or Drake May, don't
I want a coach to come in and be able

(08:33):
to be with him for those four years or five
years instead of Matt Eberflus. Maybe he's won and done.
If they don't perform, maybe you know, if you take
Caleb Williams, there's no guarantee you're gonna go. Well, we
should let Matt eberflu stay there for a while. He's
already been there for a while. So it was one
of those wow that kind of jumped out at me that, yes,

(08:57):
Peter retiring, I'm gonna miss him. Great contributor to the show.
But this was one of those down far in the
column where I went, Okay, that's got a little bit
of teeth to it in my opinion. When you said
I suppose they will and that's the way the wind
is blowing instead of saying I got a crazy trades,

(09:19):
you know, possibility here. We do hypotheticals on here. And
maybe if Peter had kind of framed it that way,
I wouldn't have led the show with that. But the
fact that Peter had it the way the wind is blowing,
I think there's something to this. Unless you're trying to
drive up, you know, the price of Justin Fields. Maybe

(09:40):
they keep him and maybe, you know, you make some
trades here. Atlanta needs a quarterback and Washington needs a quarterback.
Patriots need a quarterback. Wait a minute, who's going to
be trading up for that? What are you going to
get for that? Washington's going to trade that?

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
The Raiders are also keep an eye on the Raiders
doing something as well, you know, because they're kind of
in no man's land to get the big name quarterbacks.
And if you want to go up there, and I
like Aidan O'Connell, I don't love Aidan O'Connell, but I
like him, And can you go up and what are
you going to have to give up to go up
and get one of those three quarterbacks? Because there's a

(10:18):
big separation between Caleb Drake and Jaden and then it
dips down to bow Knicks, Michael Pennix Junior the third
and JJ McCarthy. It goes down a bit. Also keep
in mind Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is not going to
be with Denver next year. In my opinion, I don't
think that's going to happen. The question is they're going

(10:39):
to have to eat a lot of that salary, all
of that salary, and Russ may end up somewhere where
he's taken the league minimum. That's certainly been spoken about,
and that would be interesting because Denver will then be
in need of a quarterback. And I was told that
JJ McCarthy is a quarterback who would be on their radar.

(11:02):
But once again, there's a lot of agendas, there's a
lot of smoke. But Peter surprised me a little bit,
and that's why I led the show with him. All right,
age seven seven three DP show, Uh Seaton, what kind
of poll question are you thinking about today? You going deep?
I know, I know, danger rang well. I wasn't prepared,
fired up, ready to go. Yes, Paul, it is.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Interesting though the last two times the Chicago Bears had
a top five draft pick twenty seventeen, they passed on
Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson and then.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
How did that work out?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
And last year, Now it's revisionist history because people weren't
in love with c J. Stroud, but they passed on
c J. Stroud last year when they could have taken
him or even traded down a spot and taken him. Yeah,
there's got to be some paranoi in the building about
passing again. Yeah, ironically, it feels like they're going to
do that again.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Feels like it.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
See, when you're scared of missing on someone, that's usually
when you make a terrible pick. It's true, that's usually
when you make it an absolutely awful one. Yeah, hey,
how about we start with this? Uh should storming a
corpy band? Left turn?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I want to spend a little bit of time on
this with what happened with wake Forest and Duke, so
we'll address that coming up. We'll address a lot of things.
You got baseball has see through pants and see through
pants day at the I don't know, I mean it
sounds like a marketing ploy. Hey, do you really want
to see your star player.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Randy Johnson really missed his window there?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
The big unit. If you know what I mean, we're back.
What other questions do you have?

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Well, we could go with a better outfit the MLBC
through pants or Rick Patino's all white suit.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's a class Yeah, the white out at the garden. Yeah,
I got to.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Rick.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Rick hasn't had a good couple of weeks here. You know,
I never understood this, Like you love coaching? Is that
coaching that you're you know, really you denigrate to ride
your team and you call people like show some composures.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
The facilities are terrible, Like what do you do? Recruiting
was awful? Why did you take the job?

Speaker 2 (13:15):
You got enough? Retire? It's like Doc rivers, Doc sounds miserable, dude,
then don't take the job. What else? I got to
change the narrative about this three to one series leading
Thank you Doc. It's been a lot harder than I
thought it'd be.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, they didn't thought he was walking into a round.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, and he might be, but good god, he sounds
like he you know, at gunpoint they made him take it.
No you imagine no, never mind, I'm not gonna get
it now. You know what, let me take a break.
We'll take a break, and then we'll settle on a
poll question here, and it's great to be back. It is.
I missed you guys, then you too, Todd, thank you,

(13:57):
although it's hard to miss you when I feel like
you never leave me.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like there's a lot of pictures you.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Guys, photos little rhymetime games that weren't actually a rime
time yet I know.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And then there was a text that you sent. My
wife goes, are you going to answer that? Because she
saw that it was from you, and I go no,
I'll get a round to him. I'm going to see
him next Monday. I said, it can hold hunt, it's
not that serious. All right, let me take a break.
We'll get phone calls coming up. Jim Baheim. They had
Jim Baheim Day yesterday at Syracuse. We did a video.

(14:30):
I didn't know it was going to be shown on
the jumbo shot, but it was showing on the jumbo
tron and we're roasting Jim Beheim. Everybody else is, you know,
saying great things about Jim Baheim. We're up there making
fun of him when he after a game at a
press conference where he's going. It was shown on the
jumpboat tron yesterday. All right, Uh, let's take a break

(14:55):
back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (14:57):

We are back. It's our two great to have time off,
but we missed you. Gangs all here, including Fritzie, Jim
Behan Jim Beayheim day yesterday at Syracuse. He'll join us
coming up. Get his thoughts on storming the court. Does
he have a solution for that? And also the NCAA
tournament could it expanded ninety six teams? We'll talk to

(15:59):
coach coming up here. In a moment, NFL Combine is happening.
Peter King announced that he was going to retire the
Football Morning and America columnist, former Monday Morning Quarterback, and
in his column today he floated the possibility of maybe
the Bears trading the number one pick and then maybe

(16:21):
getting the number two pick from Washington and maybe trading
that as well, maybe coming away with a hall of
nine draft picks in the first two rounds over the
next two years. But Peter floated that didn't report it,
just saying that what he's hearing the Bears are probably
going to trade the number one pick. All right. Stat

(16:42):
of the day brought to you by Penadi America, the
official trading cards of this program. It'll be Ohio State
and Iowa. That'll be Caitlin Clark. That'll be a rematch,
and Iowa faces Minnesota at nine eastern. Ohio State faces
Michigan at six thirty east, and this will be on Peacock.
It'll be Wednesday night basketball, and then you have Iowa

(17:04):
and Ohio State the rematch I believe this weekend with
Caitlin Clark at Ohio State. All Right, we'll get to
your phone calls coming up, as we always do every Monday,
eight seven to seven three DP show Email Addressdpatdanpatrick dot com,
twitter handle at DP show. Good morning if you're watching
on Peacock. Also check in at the NFL Combine and

(17:24):
Major League Baseball has a uniform issue. We'll have that
for you coming on. I was watching the tribute to
Jim Bayhan yesterday. I had all these luminaries, everybody's saying
nice things. It's emotional, and all of a sudden they
play our video because we were asked by Syracuse, hey,
could you guys do something say some nice things about

(17:45):
coach Baheim. And then we went around the room Fritzi
and Seaton, Marvin Paulie, and then myself, and then we
kind of roasted Jim Bahan and then made fun of
Jim after every game winner lose when he's at the
press conference. So they're showing this and I'm cringing. I'm

(18:06):
going I thought this was just like a private thing
for Jim, not in front of fifty thousand around how
many people were there. So the former Syracuse head coach,
Jim Beahem joining us on the program, let me apologize
on behalf of everyone here for absolutely nothing. That's our relationship,

(18:26):
and I'm glad that we closed you out.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
That way, I would have expected nothing else.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
And you know it was twenty eight tributes twenty sixty
very nice, well done, and you and Gina my good
friend Ariama were brutal and it just, you know, was
power for the course, you know, I mean I expect that.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
And now even my wife doesn't like joy. She was
she was like, you're only fan and SERI So now,
I mean your ratings just went probably forty down losing her.
So that's it. I mean, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
We tried to say something nice. We did. We did.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
It's hard. I know it's hard. It's really hard. Yeah,
but this is the new Jim Beeheim. You watched me
on TV.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
You me.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
And by the way, when you came on, I heard
who's the best player in all of sports to watch? Play?
Right now, I'll say basketball.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's easier for you.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Point Clark, nobody else. Steph Curry's close still, but she's
moved past. And you know why I like her the most.
Her passing skills are unwheel. She makes passes that are
just subtle that you have to know the game, which

(20:02):
I mean nobody in your room there I don't understand.
I know that would be hard. You have to understand
the game. She makes subtle passes that really it's incredible.
I watch every game she's on, I mean literally.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
But we don't have to watch her. We don't have
Caitlin Clark without Steph Curry.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Well yeah, I mean, he's an influence on everybody. It's
like Pearl Washington was the first influence on a generation
of guards, and now it's you know, Steph Curry. He's unique.
I mean, it's not enough to say he's the best
shooter of all time, which he is, but he's just

(20:45):
a unique player to watch play. He's my favorite player
to watch since probably Michael Jordan, I guess, and Magic.
You know some guys you just turn on the TV
to watch. I mean I have to stay up and
you know I'm old now, and I stay from midnight
to watch Steph Curry play because you know, you have to.
You have to watch the guy play basketball. But she's

(21:09):
just as fun to watch and amazing. I just said
she's an amazing player and she probably needs to stay
in college because she'd probably make four million dollars next
year with the wonderful new system we have of ni L.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
So wait, that sounded sarcastic with the Wonderful News a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, that's a great idea, and I always a great idea.
It's just it's just turned into we're going to buy
these players, and that's what it is. It's everybody knows that.
It's pretty simple.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, could you give the green light to someone like
Caitlin Clark one of your players?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I gave the game greenlight the guys that weren't as
good as her, come on.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
But I mean shooting that deep. I remember Steve Kerr
would he would hold his head in his hands when
Steph would take those long shots and that he would
make him. And then he realized that he makes those
That's just who he is.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
It's just you can I tell players, hey, you can
take any shot that you can make. I don't care
where it is, just as long as you can make it.
You know, fire it, let it go. And you know,
some people can just do things other people can't do.
Part of coaching his adjustments, you know, you know, you

(22:27):
adjust to those guys, and it's not hard to adjust
to Steph Curry, trust me, you know, he's just okay.
Pearl Washington was like that. He did some crazy things.
But he you know, he he did them and he
entertained people. You know, we went from fifteen thousand people
a game when Pearl Washington came to Syracuse. It was early.

(22:47):
It was in the first second year of the Carrier
Dome now the JMA Dome. But we went to twenty
five thousand people in one year, and it was because
of people wanted to watch Got play. And you know,
it was some people are like that there's there's great players,
and then there's great players that everybody want to watch play.

(23:09):
You know, that's there's a there is a difference. There's
a difference, no question about it.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
All Right, we're talking to the former Syracuse head coach
Jim Baham. A couple of things, court storming. What would
be your solution on how to police or prevent.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Well, you put one hundred and two hundred police officers there,
you could do it. But you know, I mean, I'm
very sympathetic. I hope Kyle. I love Kyle Philipowski. I
hope he's all right. I really do. But in all
the years of all the court stormings I've seen, and
you know, I'm kind of old, so it's probably a

(23:46):
couple of hundred right, I've never seen anybody get hurt.
I mean that's that's the first thing everybody's talked about
since this happened. Players, safety, players this and I've never
seen anybody get hurt. Now that doesn't mean they couldn't
get hurt, but it's you know, it's it's you could

(24:07):
stop it. I mean you'd have to just ring the
whole building with police officers with sticks and stuff, and
you know you could stop it. Yeah, I mean you can.
But I've never seen anybody get heard. This the one
that was a fast court. Those people you know, you

(24:27):
know those people that were storming the court there, you
know at Wake they were fast. I mean they must
have had all the athletes running out there, kind of
a smaller one.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Wake was favored by two. You can't storm the court
when you're favored.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Well, when you haven't beaten Dukin twenty five years ago,
you went, I mean, yeah you do. There is an
occasion that you can storm the court. And it was
a huge win for Wake. Is you know, Joe Lenardi,
as we all know, picked three ACC teams over the
tournament just a month ago and couldn't have been more wrong.

(25:05):
We're gonna have six in there, maybe more, but at
least that because you can't go you know, by numbers.
The net is the worst thing ever foisted upon us
by the NCAA. Have a lot of bad things because
you can play ten bad teams, beat them by a lot,
and your net's gonna be good because you cap the

(25:28):
point spread, but you can't cap the efficiency of your
offense and defense. And when you're playing bad teams and
you win by forty, you're gonna be very efficient on
both ends, so your net's gonna be great. So you
just need to discount the net a little bit and
try to find the best teams. And I'm not saying

(25:48):
they're acc teams will have some of them, but you
have to look for the best teams, not teams that
have the best net, because you can get a net
by playing nobody and winning big. And we need to understand.
I think the NCAA committee understands that. I think that's
been talked about a lot, and we have to get

(26:11):
back to finding the best teams and the end result
when you get to the end of selection Sunday, you
want to have the best teams in the tournament, and
you have to watch teams play and see their improvement,
more so now than ever. I believe in the whole

(26:32):
season is important, but with the transfer portal, so many
new teams that you have to watch teams at the
middle and end of the year to see how they've
developed from beginning to end. And when you have so
many transfers, you're not going to be as good in
the beginning and you might be really good at the end.

(26:54):
So even though you take the whole season into consideration,
you have to put some of the little emphasis on
the last fifteen or twenty games.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Let's speaking of the tournament. The new president of the NCAA,
I guess, is floating the idea of expanding the tournament
to ninety six schools.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Listen, I've talked about this for forty years. It doesn't
hurt a thing to expand the tournament. If anything. In
the first rounds you get the bad teams out, you'll
end up with a better sixty eight or sixty four.
If you do it that way, you get more fan
bases involved, you get more players in the tournament, and

(27:38):
you don't hurt the tournament at all. And you can
do it. I don't know if you get in ninety
six but we have a play in days right now.
Just have three players at three at the four sites
where the tournament's going to be. So if you win,
you're playing, you're right there at your site.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Don't have to I can't believe you're agreeing with the
NC double line. What happened to you?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh it's hard, it's hard, I trust me. And it's
only once. Hey, everybody's right once a day. Every clock's
right twice to day a broken clock, right. But no,
they this is when you should expand. I know all
these peerists say, oh, we don't you know, Well, what
if we were still where we started at twelve? John

(28:25):
Wooden was a great coach. We were at sixteen. He
didn't want to expand, best coach ever history, right, No,
we don't need to expand. Well, then we went to
thirty two, forty eight, sixty. It's a tournament. Is good?
Hour better? It's better. So you add a few teams,
so what it's over, you can get it over in

(28:47):
a couple of days, be down to sixty four teams,
go forward. It's no big deal. The same in football.
You know, they should have expanded the football right away.
It should have been where whoever it is twelve six
ye before.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
I let you go? Did you ever cross paths with
Pete Merrivich? I know his names come up now because
of Caitlyn Clark, and.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I you know I saw him play in person
once and he was in the NIT in New York,
and those days, you know, he hadn't seen him, you know,
he was the LSU. He really didn't seen him. The
first play, he caught the ball in a rebound, took
one dribble and through a behind the back length of
the court passed to a guy who caught it and

(29:33):
laid it in. And I'm like, who, well that was good.
The guy was Caitlyn Clark. You know what was it
forty years ago? Fifty? Yeah, fabulous, unbelievable offensive machine. He
could do things with a basketball that really no even

(29:55):
Steph Curry can't do just dribble things, passing things. I mean,
the guy was in a good conference and was defended
with boxing ones all the time and average forty points
a game. No, you know, who can do that? How
many people can do that that many?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
And not the three point shot either. If you factor
that in, he's he probably would have ended his career
at you know.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, he would have had fifty every fifty a game,
every time. But thanks for the nice tribute to me.
And it's good to bring you down, bring people down,
you know, when you and other people are looking you up,
it's good that you know somebody's there like you and
Gena just to you know, I'm a member of the
your group. Now you gotta be nice.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
No not yet, no, no, yeah, no no. And by
the way, you know what, we made fun of Coach K,
so if we can make fun of Coach K, we
can make fun of you.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Absolutely, he's the best for me. I'm not even. And
then the same kid, same one, one type of guy
in Syracuse trying to compare me to Coach Wooden, and
I said, well, yeah, I mean we're similar. He's on
the penthouse and I'm in the basement. That's about That's
about close we are. I think I've worked my way

(31:17):
up from about the fifth floor.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, you're in the kitchen. You're in the kitchen. Maybe, yes, yes,
everything happens in the kitchen. Yeah, you're not going to
get to the pan.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Come a long way with Kevin Costner. And you were
just a guy, and you were what you were just
there was a news or support.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
So I was at CNN. I was at CNN in Atlanta, and.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Uh we were in the room. Nobody even know who
you were.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
They did not, they did not, was it? Yeah, there was.
There was a girl who was interested in me and Costner.
And Costner went over and and he said he started
talking to her and then he sees me and he goes,
I get out of here. I'm going to take one
for you. I go, all right, So Kevin Costner took
one for me as he shatted up this woman. But

(32:06):
all right, my best to your wife is alive years old.
All right, that's okay, that's okay, it's okay. Uh stay
in touch and uh congratulations on your day.

go to the combine. Tom Pelsero, NFL Network insider, get

(33:05):
his thoughts on what Peter King floated in his column
today about the possibility that the Bears trade the number
one pick. We'll have that for you coming up right
after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
More phone calls coming up. People have suggestions on how
to stop court storming, and as Jim Beheim just pointed out,
didn't sound like he had a problem with it, because
he said, how many times does somebody actually get injured?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I don't know if I want to flirt with it
that way to say, hey, nobody's gotten hurt in a
long time. Oh, somebody twisted their ankle. Happens to be
one of the stars of Duke. You know, we tend
to overreact. I get it. We're reactionary society, certainly when
it comes to sports. But I would like to think
there is a better way to play lease this and

(34:02):
maybe you don't show the court storming. I don't know
if that's a solution or not, but I'm open to
your suggestions here. Tom Pelsero, NFL Network insider. He is
in Indianapolis the Combine. He's there for the NFL Network
and that'll be Thursday through Sunday. Tom, thanks for joining us.

(34:22):
What's the hotel lobby buzz? What's the number one topic
in Indianapolis?

Speaker 9 (34:27):
Well, Dan, that'll pick up starting later today. Most NFL teams, coaches, players,
GMS or excuse me, executives, scouts gms. They'll get in
town later today. The players just started getting in the
first groups yesterday, or D line and the linebackers. So
this sort of ramps up gradually throughout the course of
the week. I would say, you know, as the bars
and the restaurants and the lobbies fill up. Here big

(34:49):
part of it starts out at number one in the
draft and exactly what the Bears are going to end
up doing. What the Bears end up doing with justin
fields obviously, Caleb Williams there's a lot of signs pointing
toward the Bears just standing pat and taking him at
number one overall, but certainly there are going to be
conversations and phone calls and they'd still got to meet
with the guy. They got to meet all these you know,

(35:10):
rookie quarterbacks coming into the league. So that's part of
the process throughout the course this week. Certainly you've got
some other, you know, potential trade options out there as
we go through this process, some other quarterbacks that could
be on the move. What happens with Russell Wilson, what
happens with Mac Jones, what happens at a different level
with Zach Wilson. Those are some of the questions as

(35:31):
you go through it. And then you know, you can
just go down the list and look at some of
the teams with a lot of you know, older, more
expensive players. What does Jim Harbaugh do with all those
guys that he's got in his roster. We're making a
ton of money like Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and
Derwin James and Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa. Those are
some of the storylines here. On top of obviously you know,

(35:51):
two weeks from today, the free agent negotiating window opens,
and if history is any guy in a lot of
those big deals, maybe sort of, even if it's not allowed,
might be sort of done here in Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I don't know if you saw Peter King's column today
where he announced his retirement from writing the column, but
he also floated the idea of the Bears maybe trading
that number one pick, keeping justin fields and then maybe
trading that pick, you know, another pick and basically accumulating
nine first and second round picks over the next two years. Now,

(36:24):
Peter just floating something. Isn't just anybody floating something here?
What do you make of what Peter was suggesting?

Speaker 9 (36:34):
Well, first of all, love Peter, and I think that
I've got similar stories to a lot of other people,
you know, through the years of being a young I'm
not that young anymore, of a young up and coming
reporter and getting a random call or text or email
from Peter King saying, Hey, I like like that thing
you did, Tom, that was really good. There's so many
of us who you know Peter, we grew up reading

(36:55):
him in Sports Illustrated, and then you know, he made
you feel like you were any well, and he makes
did something to the Super Bowl this past year, invited
a bunch of reporters out just for a big dinner
with a bunch of people from competing outlets, and asked
us a dinner to you know, share stories of something
we learned from the past year. And those are things
that just don't happen in the modern era of journalism.

(37:17):
And so for Peter to put that together, Like I
walked away going that was one of the most meaningful
things that I've done in quite a while. Just hearing
other people's experiences, meeting some young up and coming people,
the people who are actually young now, and you know,
that was that was really cool. But that's stuff that
you know, Peter's done for a long time. He's done
his job at a high level for a long time.
As far as the Bears and the possibility of trade back,

(37:40):
what I would tell you Dan is the Bears have
not made final decisions on what they're going to do.
They've not finalized anything internally.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
They have not.

Speaker 9 (37:51):
Despite some questions I've heard from people in the league
in the past couple of days, they have not communicated anything.
To Caleb Williams saying that you were definitely taking you
at number one, and there's always the possibility that someone
is going to make you an offer that makes you
reconsider whatever your inclination was. I mean, if you go
again through this offseason here and the way that they've

(38:12):
handled things publicly, the way that they had handled the
offensive coordinator search and hiring Shade Waldron to run a
certain style of offense, there's a lot of arrows to
point toward this is going to end up being Caleb
Williams at number one. But again, if you have that opportunity,
and if you're going to trade down once, why would
you not contemplate trading down twice unless you're going to
take one of the other quarterbacks, or if you're trying

(38:34):
to only move back a spot and let's say take
Marvin Harrison Junior or something, you could potentially trade down
and continue to amass it picks into the future. Having
said that, you've also got Matt Eberflus Ryan Poles. They're
entering year three. Year three is always critical decision time.
I don't want to say make or break, but in
a lot of ways, anytime you're into year three, you're

(38:54):
either going to work your way to a contract extension,
or you're going to work your way into somebody else
having your job to trade completely out of it. The
not reset at the quarterback position would be a substantial gamble.
It's one more reason that again, nothing done, but one
more reason to believe ultimately it's Capleb Williams number one
in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Tom pel Cerol NFL Network insider, explain to me the
options that the Broncos have with Russell Wilson.

Speaker 9 (39:21):
Same options that they had last year during training camp
in the buy when they approached Russell Wilson about something
that quite frankly in one regard to another, happens all
the time in the NFL. In this case, it was
not taking a pay cut, which dozens of players do
every year. It was not giving up money. It was
pushing back the vesting date on his twenty twenty five

(39:42):
injury guarantee to twenty twenty five instead of having the
early vesting, which if they kept Russell Wilson on the
roster beyond this March seventeen, now you're locking to seventy
six more million dollars to Russell Wilson instead of the
thirty nine that they own this year whether Russell Wilson
is on the team or no. So the options are

(40:03):
once again, they can re engage, and Russell Wilson can
agree to accept the delay in the vesting because he's
not going to be a Bronco if he's not a
Justice contract come March seventeenth, or they you know, you know,
like lil would release him. I don't really anticipate a
trade market arise in there. So it's either released or
he does the restructure. You know the issue that you

(40:23):
have here because say about this, Dan, you go back
to the bye week in the fall, and I know
the version Russell Wilson is told. I know the version
that his publicist and his agent and everybody else have
put out there. From the Broncos perspective, they were trying
to do a deal that would actually keep Russell Wilson
in Denver for twenty twenty four. In other words, if

(40:43):
you didn't have to worry about that future money vesting,
you would just pay him thirty nine million dollars this year.
You maybe would draft one, maybe not. You'd keep your
options open at the quarterback position, but Russell Wilson would
absolutely be the starting quarterback of the Broncos in twenty
twenty four. I know he said in that interview with
Brandon Marshall that he wants to be in Denver. Well,
there's one way to do that, which is taking something
in terms of an adjusted contract to delayed vesting date

(41:07):
that last time the Broncos, in their opinion good faith,
proposes a way to keep you here. Instead, you file
a complaint with the NFL Players Association and went public
and called them all a bunch of liars and said
that you got benched over money. That's a lot to
come back from Dan. But if Russell Wilson and the
Broncos look out there at their options to realize we're

(41:27):
not really going to do better here and it doesn't
make sense, there's still that possibility that they could find
a path forward, but it's going to have to involve
Russell Wilson taking a contract adjustment that he just hasn't
been willing to do to this point.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
I'm going to go back to the combine with the
quarterbacks that a lot of them aren't throwing or maybe
doing workouts. But if you said to NFL teams, would
you rather have the interviews in the medicals over throwing
working out at the combine. If you're trying to assess
these quarterbacks, yeah, you would rather.

Speaker 9 (41:57):
Have the interviews in the medicals especially. You know, there
are some of these guys who that's going to be
really big on For Michael PENNOCKX Junior, he's had so
many injuries through the years, getting his medical that's going
to be That's the I talked to an executive a
couple of days ago, just asking the questions on the quarterbacks.
He said, Okay, with Penis it's medical, medical and medical
because there's so much there that you got to wrap

(42:18):
your mind around. That's going to be a big part
of the process with.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Him, you know.

Speaker 9 (42:22):
And in the interviews, I think that Jayden Daniels and
Caleb Williams, two guys who don't plan to throw here,
those are going to be, you know, really important. There's
some things that people want to peel back the layers
of with Jade Daniels and with Caleb Williams. You know,
he's from just he might be like kind of the
first true New Era Nil baby at quarterback. In other words,

(42:42):
he's already been a professional for several years. He's made
a ton of money, he's basically left in free agency
in college. You know, he you know, is living large
in Los Angeles and he's you know, obviously an unbelievably
talented player, but he's gonna you know, he's got a
different team, he doesn't have a customary agent. I'm not
really anticipating that he does the medical here either. He's

(43:03):
probably just going to show up, do the interviews and
that's going to be it. And you're just gonna want
to get to know him and get to know you know,
can you ramp him up quickly enough as a player
in the NFL? You can deal with, you know the
fact that he's got other interests and he's gonna have
some different things around him. I don't know there's anything
that's bad there, but you know, actually getting to sit

(43:24):
down and get a feel for Caleb Williams the person
and find out a little bit more about the supports
system that he has around him. I think he's going
to be a big for the Bears and everybody else.
Making this evaluation, I'll leave you with this.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
With the salary cap going up, give us the team
to keep an eye on spending money in free agency.

Speaker 9 (43:43):
I mean, there's a lot it is funny because you
know when the cap goes up, it goes up for
every team, right, so all these fans are like, oh,
now we've got money. It's like everybody else has that
more money too. But I have talked to GM I
tid to one a few minutes before we got on
this show, who was saying, that's pretty good for us.
Because if you're a team was over the cap or
had some big money stuff, or you're trying to eat

(44:03):
money and whatever this year, having that extra, depending what
you were budgeting at ten, twelve to fifteen million dollars,
can't potentially be huge. It does lend a little bit
more flexibility. Now, those same players are going to be
more expensive now because there is more money in the
marketplace here. But in terms of you know who's actually
spending in free agency, you know, the Patriots have a

(44:25):
ton of money, and they've got a roster that really
needs an influx of talent to it. You know, they're
not trying to win the Super Bowl this year any
more than any other team is. But they're not, in
other words, going all in because it got so far
to go here. But you know, that's certainly a team
that I think you're going to see be active as
we go through the free agency period here. Beyond that,

(44:47):
I think it's going to be a lot of a
lot of the usual suspects that like to spend in
free agency. There are some teams that are fundamentally opposed
to doing it. There are other teams that you know,
always want to be in that mix. Even a team
like that or just knowing how you know Sean Payton thinks.
I don't know if they're gonna make the same splash
that they made last year pumping a ton of money
into the offensive line, but you know Sean wants veterans.

(45:10):
Sean coming up in New Orleans is no stranger to
borrowing money from the future to make something happen now.
And that's where you know, when we talk about the
Broncos having all options on the table still at quarterback,
I wouldn't rule out anything in Denver, including they get
a big swing at a guy like Kirk Cousins, who
I know is already throwing. He's already dropping back coming

(45:30):
off that torn achilles. He's gonna be thirty six before
the season, but he is going to have a significant market.
And if you're Sean Payton and you're sitting there realizing
you've got to compete with Jim Harbaugh and Andy Reid
in the division. You're probably gonna be best served doing
that with a veteran quarterback, whether that's Russell Wilson or
somebody else. They got to figure out what the pathway
is to get one.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Have fun there, Good to talk to you is always
thanks for joining us, Tom, Thanks Dan. That's Ton Pelsero,
NFL Network Insider, NFL Network Provider Live coverage at the
Combined Thursday through Sunday. Yeah, a lot of these quarterbacks,
including Caleb Williams, they're going to go, but they're not
going to work out. And as my sources told me
before having been at the Combine, been in these interviews,

(46:15):
getting the medicals is really really important. Uh you know,
how how tall is somebody? Do they do? They look
like they'll get bigger? Can they get bigger? How much
energy you know, have they used in college with all
the injuries that they've had and all the games they've played,
And you know, are you ready for the grind that's
known as the NFL? And then you're not going to

(46:35):
throw We we assume that you have a pro day,
but they're all scripted. You should be really good when
you do your pro day or you throw at the combine.
If I'm one of the top picks.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
I'm not going to be throwing. I'm not gonna be
running past patterns. I'm just not. I would be like,
let me when they're interview, well, let them see the medicals.
Although if Caleb's not, I don't know if that's a
red flag where people are going to say, you know,
is he hiding something. Michael Pennix Junior, he has to
do this. He must try to put the fears to rest.

(47:12):
He's had a couple of acls. You just want to
make sure he does have the talent, does he have
the durability. We'll take a break. We'll give you our
best and worst of the weekend. More phone calls as well.
A lot of people have thoughts on court storming. We'll
have that for you coming up. After this PGA tour begins.
It's Florida Swing. It'll be the Cognizant Classic and the

(47:34):
Palm Beaches. Rory McElroy and the stars of the tour
are in Florida, as is Jeff Passion of the Mothership
senior baseball insider. Before we get to Jeff, this statement
from Major League Baseball. The uniform pants have the same
material and thickness as the uniform pants used last season.

(47:55):
There were changes to the fabric of the jersey, not
the pants, Baseball said. Baseball spokesman told ESPN that Nike
fanatics and MLB representatives have been making adjustments to the
jerseys based on player request made during spring training. Now,
there was a report, or at least some of the
players said the pants are see through. Let's bring in

(48:18):
Jeff passing. Jeff, of all the things I've ever had
you on, I don't know if I've ever had you
on for see through pants. So how did we get
here with the uniform change or changes in Major League Baseball?

Speaker 10 (48:30):
Yeah, I'm just hoping there's not ce through pants under
your desk right there.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
I don't have pants on Beauty Beauty.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
You know.

Speaker 10 (48:40):
Major League Baseball can say all that it wants that
the material of the pants is the same and that
you know, this is just a change and the fit
of them or the ability to customize them. But the truth,
like the only thing that matters is that we've seen

(49:02):
things that we should not see this spring and that
we have not seen in past springs. We have seen
twigg and berries if you want to call it that,
or I mean junk however you want to put it.
We done seen it so far, okay, and that is

(49:24):
the change from the past.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
That gives a whole new meeting to junk ball pitcher.
So okay, how did Baseball not know that this was happening?

Speaker 10 (49:36):
You know, when you go through a new manufacturing process,
there are always errors that come out, and that to
me is the most frustrating thing about this entire story.
I cover a sport dan whose resonance among fans isn't
quite the same as it used to be, and that
is always looking for entrees into new groups of people

(50:00):
to watch. And if your marketing is you can see
our players and other regions, something's not going right there.
And the immediate reaction, the very simple reaction to this,
should not be but wait, they were see through in
years past two, which is what Major League Baseball's trying
to say right now, you know, which which may be true.

(50:24):
But the important thing is fixing the issue that you've
got right now. And it doesn't seem as if they're
doing a whole lot to fix this or change it.
And that's the frustrating part of it that everyone's kind
of pointing fingers at one another. You know, Nike is
the you know, new manufacturer of the uniforms, and they're

(50:45):
looking at Fanatics and saying, yeah, you know it's Fanatics
that soon, and Fanatics is looking at Nike and saying, well,
we're just going off the designs that they sent us.
And you don't solve problems by pointing fingers. This is
a problem because I am on the dam Pack Show
and the first question that he asked me was about
the ability to see players through their pants. Like, if

(51:09):
that's not a problem that you should be you should
be out there trying to solve instantaneously. You've taken the
wrong path.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
But I have a problem though that the jerseys. I
mean I had these uniforms when I was in Little
league where they would take an iron and then they could,
you know, put your name on or your number on,
and you're gonna probably still charge the same to fans.
Like there's no raised lettering here. I mean, there's nothing
that says boy, that's quality here.

Speaker 10 (51:39):
No, it looks like a minor league uniform. And I
don't even mean like minor league baseball. I mean like
weekend guys going to the park. It you know, it's
Chico's bail bond. That's what it looks like right now.
And you know, you don't understand how much better the

(51:59):
large lettering looks until you see the small lettering. But
we had an example of this just last year, Dan,
do you remember during the World Baseball Classic Great Britain's
uniforms it looked like Times New Roman twelve point font
and we saw just how goofy it can be when

(52:21):
the lettering compared to the people who are wearing the
actual letters is as small as it is. And to
you know, to have those sorts of jerseys now, it's
just been catastrophic from top literally to unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Bottom showing your bottom. Help me understand expansion, the possible expansion,
And I know you've mentioned two cities, what kind of
Is there a timeframe for expansion with Major League Baseball?

Speaker 10 (52:52):
Yeah, but it's probably not until the end of this decade,
so we're a while off here. And I think the
process would probably be a little bit quicker because expansion
fees are going to be of scene. You know, We're
talking two plus billion dollars DAN per franchise. When the
last time Baseball spanned it was like one hundred and
thirty million dollar expansion fee. So it's enormous money. There

(53:17):
are people who are motivated to do it. The problem
is there are a couple of issues that need to
be resolved. First, Tampa Bay and Oakland. You know, the
Rays are trying to get a new stadium in Saint
Pete and while it looks promising, they've got to pass
a couple of votes before it goes through Oakland. On

(53:38):
the other hand, you know, as much of a disaster
as the uniforms have been this spring, the A's or
probably ahead of them just in terms of messing things up.
And so while they've got agreements in place to play
in Las Vegas for the twenty twenty eight season, there
is no shovel in the ground yet there's not going

(53:59):
to be for a while now. And aneptitude is really
the modus operandi of the Oakland A's ownership at this point.
And so I don't think anybody thinks it's a fate
a complete that they're going to end up in Las Vegas.
And that's been hanging over the game, and Rob Manford
has said, we're not going to do anything until Tampa

(54:21):
and Oakland are resolved. Beyond that, while Major League Baseball
can unilaterally say, hey, we want to expand, the actual
expansion process needs the Major League Baseball Players Associations back
and that's the sort of thing that doesn't happen until
a collective bargaining agreement is negotiated. And so part of

(54:42):
the CBA after the twenty twenty six season, when it expires,
is going to include expansion processes. How do you draft guys,
when do they start picking minor leaguers, those sorts of things,
And until those are in place, it's really impossible to say, yes,
go ahead and get that stadium started and crank on

(55:03):
this franchise, because you know, the stadiums are costing a billion,
a billion and a half two billion dollars. The two
cities you mentioned, Nashville, which has been promoting this this
Nashville Stars brand successfully for a while now, and Salt
Lake City, which has this sprawling, enormous plan that the

(55:24):
Miller family is going to pay three and a half
billion dollars to make come a reality. Those are the
two favorites right now. But when you have so many
years then until the actual expansion is going to take place,
weird things can happen in terms of who's a favorite,
who falls back in the pack.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
I think I said Nashville Sounds.

Speaker 10 (55:44):
That's a triple A team.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Okay, okay, okay, yeah, you got you got it? Okay,
just want to yet will show how Tawny be playing
in April.

Speaker 10 (55:53):
Yes, I think he'll probably be playing in March. I
think he'll be playing in Korea. Okay, you know the
plan this whole time. At very least they had a
template for it, and that template was him because remember
he's had Tommy John surgery and gone out and hit
the next season. So he knows what his body needs,

(56:15):
he knows when he needs rest, he knows when he
can push, he knows what he's feeling all these things.
You know, when he's been taking live batting practice, he's
looked like show heyo Tommy. I was there for his
first live VP and he absolutely crushed a home run
off of JP Fireeyes, and so he's going to be fine.
I just think they're being very judicious about it, because remember,

(56:38):
you don't pay a guy seven hundred million dollars coming
off of, you know, his second major elbow procedure, unless
you reasonably think he's going to be pitching again. And
so while that's not going to be this season, the
Dodgers want to do everything they can to ensure that
when he comes back, he is the same quality pitcher
that he was, or at least as close to that

(56:59):
sort of pitch that he was before he got hurt.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Hopefully we won't be talking see threw close the next
time I have you on.

Speaker 10 (57:06):
But listen, it's hilarious to me, Like it's kind of sad.
It's a little embarrassing. And when people who aren't fans
of baseball are texting you saying, hey, when did baseball
turn into porn?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Like that?

Speaker 10 (57:24):
That's not sort of the thing that you're exactly excited
about hearing. But I find it hilarious, and I will
talk about.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Sheer pants with you, and I like, Patrick, that is hot.
Thank you, Jeff, take it easy that it's Jeff passing
to the mothership baseball insider. I know, maybe it's a
ratings ploy that is hot. That is hot, Yes.

Speaker 11 (57:46):
Marvin, can we get Frank Thomas to do a commercial
for the super pants, Oh, the big hurt.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
And she'll like it too. How do you already know that, Frank? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
Yeah, I don't really like what you were implaying about.
Maybe some history? Yeah wa wait, what do you know
about my wife? How do you know she's gonna like it?

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Yeah? I guarantee it, honey, Yeah, you have something, honey?
Do you have you met Frank Thomas before? And then
she has that little KOI innocent look there? Yes, Tony?
And are they still offering free samples for those of
us who would like to try for ourselves.

Speaker 4 (58:18):
Yes, I'm on MLB's website, and you can still buy
jerseys from last year of players. So like, let's say,
you know you could buy last year's player if they're still.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Can I buy Otawani Dodger jersey? But it's last year's uniform.
I'm checking.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
But by the way, there's nowhere on the site where
you could buy Major League Baseball official pants. Why is
that that's an underserved market? Like I would buy a gaze.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
I don't know how many people show up at a
game in full uniforse. Maybe that's the new thing.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
Maybe they're gonna double sales by offering pants online.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
See through pants. Yeah, I would love some Cubs pins
right pants. Yeah that were really regretting managers wearing them too.
Oh man, yeah not skip yeah, skip going out there.
He's excited about this pitching change. Yeah yeah, arguing balls

(59:11):
and strikes. Oh, we are easy. Now, come on, you're
better than that. You're better than that. Carlos in Miami, Carlos,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 11 (59:23):
Hey, mister Dan, how are you doing? Thank you everybody
for listening in the show. So I was talk about
the storming of the court.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Yep.

Speaker 11 (59:30):
My idea is you can do like high profile like
they do with the singers.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
Just put five.

Speaker 11 (59:35):
Trained crew members like bodyguards, and when they's rushing, they
just rush through the players and they protect them on
the court. And then you know, people know whoever's took
aiming at them, they're they're they're gonna get dealt with.
Just you cover the high profile asset that's on the court.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Yeah, I just want to cover the entire team, that's all.
The visiting team should be protected. They didn't sign up
for this. They should be protected to get to the line.
Maybe that's all we can ask.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
Yes, Paul, I'm on the LA Dodgers website as I
always am this time of day. And if you want
to o tany jersey or anyone else, you got to
get the new officially license.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
The Nike Fanatics jersey.

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
The vapor jersey they're calling this, And it's the print on,
not the stitching. You can buy old Dodgers like you
can buy a Fernando Valenzuela throwback jersey with proper stitching
and raised lettering.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
But I know that they're trying to make a better
design for the players. They have to wear it every day.
You got to wear it in really you know, hot temperatures.
They want to make it so it's it's comfortable. I mean,
I don't are we Lulu lemoning the Major League Baseball here? Yes, yes,
that's what it is. Well, I don't know. It feels

(01:00:49):
like there's a happy medium between nudity and the old
school of a nice uniform, a nice jersey, raised lettering.
It looked great. Now all of a sudden, it just
looks like it's bad news.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Bears.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
Yes, it is funny though, because if you've ever worn
a Major League baseball uniform, held one, it's the last
thing you'd want to wear in ninety degree weather, and
plus a black belt is rarely worn.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
I don't gotta have the belt.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
What sporting events have belts involved?

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Well, my old this was junior high basketball shorts had
a belt. We had belts like you know, they those
satin shorts belt.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Patrick could get in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
They you know, you could use the belt as a
weapon if you wanted to. You could cut somebody. Not
that I did, but they could have done that to
me to try to stop me.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
No suspenders though.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
No, no, no, I no, I did have a belt.
We had these shiny trunks that had a belt on it. Yes, yes,
Mark so Wilt Chamberlain scored one hundred points wearing satin
and a belt. Yeah, greatest player ever.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
Yeah yeah, maybe that satin is how it was so successful.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
No, no, because it didn't help me. Then didn't help me. Well,
I'm not gonna go any first. We probably shouldn't. Yeah,
and that's the problem. I didn't go any further. How
about we take a break, Well, last.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
Goal for phone you were holding up to sign in
front of you with zero points?

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Yes, yes, zero zero zero instead of one zero zero.
Take a break last goal for phone? Calls back after
this
