Gonna be a busy day for the NFL. It's already been a busy day. The NFL just announced there will be a triple header on Christmas Day. Say goodbye to the NBA. There's going to be three games. There's two games on Netflix, one on Amazon Prime. Now keep in mind that the games last year, you had chief Steelers and you had the Ravens, Texans. The they each topped 24 million viewers. Netflix then said, you know what, we're going to up the ante. We're going to bring out Beyonce for a Super bowl halftime show at Christmas. They not going away. They're not going away. You know, plus when you sign up for this, it's like Peacock. Peacock spent over what, a million dollars for one game, $110 million for one game. And then you get people to sign up for that game and then close to 80% stay with Peacock. That's what they want you to do. All these streaming services sign up. You got to sign up to get it if you haven't signed up already and then you're going to stay with those streaming services. Also, there's going to be four times each season where teams can use their throwback or alternate jerseys, their uniforms get ready for that. That's moving merchandise is what that is move some merchandise. Yes, Marvin. Oh, Kelly Green, Philadelphia Eagles uniforms, please. Bring them back. All right. Randall Cunningham. Green, I think is what they call them. Reggie White. What about Bucko Bruce? Are they bringing Bucko Bruce back? Orange Crush for the Broncos. Oh, yeah. Let's go. Yeah, but the NFL, they don't stay out of the headlines very often. You know, here it is that Tuesday. We're like, yeah, you know, might as well take over the headlines for a little while. Let's take over the news cycle a little bit. Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback, will join us coming up next hour. He's at the owners meeting. They are voting on the Tush Push, the brotherly shovel. They'll be voting on some other things, but that's the big one. That's the big ticket here. And I was wondering about this, that, you know, we've spent way too much time on this. I've given you my opinion. Just take the blocker from behind the quarterback out of the play and let's see what the Eagles can still do with the quarterback sneak. And my guess is they will be highly, highly successful because of their quarterback and their offensive line. But I started to wonder if you gonna have 24, at least 24 people, owners to make this work and or coaches involved in this. And I'm wondering about the coaches involved in this because what about the guys who were assistant coaches with the Philadelphia Eagles who have gone on to be head coaches. Are they going to vote against this? I wonder if they will. Is there loyalty there? That is Kellen Moore now with the Saints going to vote against the Tush push. Shane Steichen, I mean, you got four or five of these guys who are now head coaches who used to be with the Eagles. And I wonder if they would vote against that or ownership would vote against that. But we'll talk to Albert Breer. Adam Lefkoe has been doing double duty, NBA on tnt. And also NCAA host Jeff Passon from the Mothership will stop by. It was a big night for Torpedo bats. Ellie Dela Cruz of the Reds hadn't used it and then he used it and then he used up the opposition. The Reds beat the Rangers 14 to 3. Dela Cruz had seven RBIs. He had a single, double and two home runs with the Torpedo bat for the first time. I don't know. How do you get that bat? How do. Like, is it FedEx to you? Where. Where are these bats right now? The Yankees, couple of guys have them. They've been around for a while. It Just feels like nobody really paid any attention to them, and then all of a sudden, everybody's paying attention to them. But we'll talk to Jeff Passon from the Mothership. He'll join us. Coming up. Yes, Todd, did someone, or should have someone got a copyright for the Torpedo Bats? I know it's just a matter of welding it a certain way, but if so, whoever came up with that first and, and it's legal. That could be worth a few bucks if you got the rights to that. All right, thank you, Todd. I had another question, if you don't, if guys don't mind. What's the difference between owner meeting and owner's meetings? Everywhere I'm looking at stories, it refers to it as a meeting. But unless they're having one long meeting in Florida for three or four days, they must take breaks to go to sleep and have lunch and stuff. So it's actually several meetings. Wouldn't it be plural? Why is it called owner's meeting? It's bothering me for some reason. You know, there's certain things that you answer yourself when you ask the question. This is one of those times. Yes. Yes, Paul. The Stanley Cup Final is a singular event made up of multiple games, possibly seven. The owner's meeting is a singular event made up of multiple meetings. They're meeting with one another, but they're actually having meetings because it doesn't just go on endlessly. They have to meet and then they meet again once you meet a second time. But they have the NBA Finals. Yeah, should be final. Confusing. Yeah, it's the Stanley Cup Final. The NBA Finals. Yes. I'm looking at a headline from Sports Illustrated right now from 17 hours ago. What to expect this week's NFL Owners Meetings. What to expect from this week's NFL Owners meetings. Thankfully, someone's got it right because I saw a series of other articles that refer to it as the owners meeting. You know, let's not bother the NFL with this. I was going to send them a note. Why here's Yahoo Sports. NFL Owners Meetings kick off in South Florida. Maybe it came to me in a dream and I'm just making it up for content. Brian Guta Kunst speaks at NFL Owners Meetings. It came to me in a nightmare. Todd. Came to you in a dream? Yes, Paul. It is officially called the annual league meeting on NFL.com meeting. No S. We got some bad journalism. Or it's an event made up of small little breakouts. Once again, Albert Topics from NFL Owners Meetings. Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback, will join us. We'll ask him that question. That's the first question we'll ask him. You know, we'll have on Albert Breer and, you know, we'll bother him during his busy day. Just ask that one question from Football Zebras. Scorecard of the 2025 NFL owners meetings. Live updates. Yes, Todd. Football Zebras. That's where I get all my NFL information from. Thank you, Toddy. Boston Herald. Callahan. Five Patriots takeaways from the NFL owners meetings. I might go home. Oh, no. It's not a bad idea. Gotta admit. Start again Wednesday. Yeah, if I was in your shoes, I would be like, you know what? Yeah, forget it. I might just come back tomorrow. I'll see you guys tomorrow. This is stupid. All right. Oh, God. Todd. No. Albert Bridge just texted me. No tush push questions and nothing about Aaron Rodgers. Just wants to get into the meeting versus meetings debate. So just want to let you know when you interview. Okay? Yes, Paul. Todd, it's called the NFL draft. Multiple people are being drafted. Multiple people are drafting people. It's not the NFL drafts. Well, I guess, but it's one big draft. Like the Stanley cup final. It's an event. I don't know if the NFL meetings is an event. Can you guys go to a separate room and hash this out? There's a lot of things to talk about today. I got torpedo bats. I got the Pelicans in tank mode. By the way, we've trademarked it. We are coming up with tanking tops. Okay. Like the tank top. It's a tanking top. The Pelicans are wearing tanking tops because now you got C.J. mcCollum and you got Zion. They're going to sit out. They got injuries. They got hurt feelings, probably. Although if you're Zion, you're making like $39 million and you're going to sit out seven games, the final seven. Well, they are meaningless, but they are meaningful of what you could get because if you're tanking with your tanking tops, then you get a better chance for Cooper. Flag. Yes, Paul. As of right now, The Pelicans are 21 and 54. They have a 12.5% chance to get the number one overall pick by losing just three more games and Charlotte going the other way, they would increase those odds to 14% there. Okay, you're saying there's a chance, a better chance with your tanking tops, right? Yeah. That would be funny if the NF Noel, the NBA came out with, okay, you guys are wearing tanking tops, but it would be an official NBA Jersey that you have your tanking cup. It'd be. There'd be a large T on the front of it. Oh, you guys got your tanking tops. Hey, we're moving merchandise. Who wouldn't want to have a tanking top? Connecticut and Texas advanced in the women's final four. It's not the final Fours. It's the women's final four Time. So big night for the Torpedo bats last night. Big day for the NFL competition committee. And let's see, we'll play fill in the blank a little bit later on seed. What's poll question today? We have many options. Well, this will surprise you. Todd has sent in quite a few. Yeah, I know. I'm a little concerned. Like, this is a Tuesday. Todd too hyper. Like Friday. Fritzi. Tuesday Todd is a real problem. Yes, there's a real problem. He's got three guests. He's fired up. Paul sent over one. We could just get to real quick. Your prediction for today involving the tush push. Okay. Is it going to be illegal or legal? All right, Marvin, I'll start with you. Illegal, Paul, The NFL is going to declare it illegal. It's getting banned. Yeah, I think it's done. I think it's done or I thought it was done. And then all of a sudden, are you going to get that many people to agree on this? How does the NFL not make this the Eagles rule? I'd be curious, what's the language here that. What do you put in the rule book? Because it will be known as the Eagles rule. But can you. Can you single out a team? Everybody can do this, but can you single out a team? And I know that they're trying. They're desperately looking for, hey, you get hurt in the tush push? No. Did you? No. Did you? Going door to door trying to find somebody, you know, and my neck's a little sore from the tush push. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Let me get your name, your number. They're looking for data here. So then they can say health wise, they have to get rid of it, take it out of the game. Because then the commissioner can be going around and all of a sudden, you know, he's going to be saying, you know, we're worried about the. The health of the. Of the players. You know, it's player safety. Because under that umbrella, then maybe you could take it out of the game. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go counter and say that it stays. It stays. I know aesthetically it's not pleasing, but I, you know, I'm sorry, I don't. I can't take it out of the game just because it doesn't look good and they've mastered this. Yes, Paulie. I do remember watching the super bowl, though, and when Chris Jones of the Chiefs went down, at the time, we didn't know how he had lined up kind of sideways to block the play. When I saw him on the sidelines on Worldwide tv holding his head and neck, I was like, that's their opening. Yeah. That's their video. Well, he put himself in a position to get hurt. Yeah. Like, it was silly. You're like. You're lined up almost, you know, on an angle, and all they did is just blow through him. And then he's like, oh, my neck. Well, you exposed yourself. We'll come up with a poll question today. First hour, Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha. What's on your mind today? What up, dp? Happy Tuesday, boys. Dan, real quick. Seaton said that he lost 30 pounds yesterday on the show. And I was watching at the time, and I was like, you know what? Seaton looks great, man. Keep it up, brother. Good job. And I wanted. I just. Yesterday also, Fritzi got me lit up. Dan, when he was complaining about the torpedo bath, it reminded me of, like, when he was complaining about the. And yelling at the little bagel girl that didn't have his favorite bagel, which was ridiculous. Just like, the torpedo thing. I mean, come on, Fritzi. Really? Really. And, Dan, I'm on my way up to Tahoe, Gonna get some freshies. Just wanted to call in on my drive. You guys have a great day, boys. All right, Buddha, safe travels. Yeah, you did come off as a little whiny yesterday. Yeah, I didn't mean to. Yeah. Yeah, man. Headed to Tahoe, though. How great does that sound? Yeah, that sounds. Yeah, perfect. Yeah. You know, in. In July, it's a perfect time to go to Tahoe. I'd like to go out to Tahoe, maybe go out to the golf event, American Century. I went out there snowboarding once years ago. And there's this mountain there called Heavenly. And you're. You go up, you could see, like, the whole lake. You see this whole mountain range. It's incredible. And as you're riding down, they have signs all over the place. You'll cross from California to Nevada, and then back to California, back to Nevada. And every time you do it, they say, welcome to. You're now leaving. Welcome to. It's pretty fun. All right, we'll settle on a poll question. We'll get to more Phone calls as well. Got a busy morning. Glad you're part of the program.

Our podcast Hasta Bajo is where sports, music and fitness collide and we cover it all, the Arriva Asta sit downs with real game changers in the sports world like Miami Dolphins CMO Priscilla Shumate, who is redefining what it means to be a Latina leader. It all changed when I had this guy come to me. He said to me, you know, you're not Latina enough. First of all, what is that? My mouth is wide open. Yeah, history makers like the Sucard family who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career.

Here's advice from Google CMO Lorraine Twohill on how to treat AI like a partner. I see AI as an incredible co pilot. You may use different tools or toys to get the work done, but ultimately as editor, as creator, as maker, you own it and it needs to be good. AI is just the latest flavor of that. You're still the judge of what good looks like. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief.

If you're just as curious as I am about the way things are built, the insights behind what it takes to create a world renowned product, then tune in to my podcast Building one. There's so much to learn, like how Patagonia innovates with its supply chain. We had to go out to farmers and convince them it was really damn hard. Or the way Adobe thinks about the first interaction somebody has with Photoshop. I was always so fascinated by how people navigate and find their way. Ever wanted to know how Nike builds emotion into the Jordan brand? You have to be obsessed with the current state of the human condition and it doesn't stop there. What about how Gleam reinvented knowledge search with AI, you can learn about how a Michelin star chef is redesigning seeds for flavor and how Pixar is nurturing a creative culture.

You should always be in there actively managing your network.

Oh, that wacky Tiger woods, he tweeted out. I can't believe I'm saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles the and sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, plus the explosive lifts, my doctors and trainers have me ready to play the Masters next week. Can't wait. See you all on the course. And then five minutes later, April Fools. My Achilles is still a mess. It's one of those that you want to believe it, you'd love for Tiger to be able to play. But the the reality of that. I wonder how he came up with that. Do you think maybe his new girlfriend said, hey, hey Ty, Ty, how about we do an April? That's how they talk. Hey Ty, Ty, how about we do an April Fool's joke. Okay. Yeah. You're gonna play in the Masters. Okay. Yeah. We'll tweet it out like your hyperbaric chain. It'll be so funny. And. And then you. You. Then you, like, come back and say, hey, I was just kidding. Yes, Marvin. Who's the more fun personal social media now? Tiger woods or Bill Belichick? Oh, Belichick. But I see, I was. I didn't want to read this April Fool's joke because I wanted to give him his privacy. Him and his. His new girlfriend, their privacy. Oh, tie, tie. Yeah. That's still amazing. You. You tweet out pictures of you two and then say, please respect our privacy. I did respect your privacy until you invaded my privacy showing me that you're in love. Yes. Paul, if you were grading this April Fool's joke. F. No. Well, yeah. No. Nobody should believe that Tiger woods could come back in a matter of weeks from an Achilles. Yeah. So you shouldn't be fooled by it. But it's early in the morning, and it's one of those things you want to be true. So you're cloudy. Oh, no. I'd have to be drunk to go. I'm buying tickets to the Masters. Yes, Todd, but doesn't it have to be really funny and. Or clever? Is anyone that read that, unless I guess you're a super golf or Tiger fan going, oh, my God, I got to tell everybody Tiger's going to be able to play. How is that possible? If that's not your reaction, then it's lame. I'm sure that there was that kind of reaction for people. Yes. Yes. That's bizarre. They might not think that Tiger would do an April Fool's joke. I mean, pretty serious guy, but anything other than, wow, he's really gonna play. He's like a medical marvel. And then you move on with your life. I can't imagine, like, April Fool's joke is supposed to be, like, it gets all around the country and world, and the Today show is talking about it becomes, like, a big, crazy thing. Oh, and so it's coming out of retirement. Or this one took steroids. What? It was within five minutes that he said it was a joke. Todd. Should have been no minutes. That shouldn't have been done in the first place. Who are you today? I'm just saying that was very weak. I know. And I can't imagine anybody being that crazy. We've been on the air for 26 minutes, but this goes back about an hour prior to starting this. Yes. Well, I do find it odd that in the year 2025, people are still doing April Fool's jokes. You know, people above the age of 10. No, but social media brought it back. I mean, that's all this is. It's a big audience and you can dupe some people. Social media is essentially one long April Fool's joke. It's not. It's not contained to one day. It's. It's every day of the year. It's one long April Fool's joke. None of it is real. Yeah, maybe Todd's Persona today is one big April Fool's joke. Oh, okay. Putting something over on all of you. The most clever thing you've done in a while. Gonna play call everyone. I got a long day. I got a long day. This. That's what it is. It's all nothing but like there was probably some golf editor somewhere or like reporter got a call. Did you see Tiger's tweet? Okay. Yeah, I'll look into it. Is it true? Yeah, somebody's walked. You know, seeing Rich Lerner of the Golf Channel. Hey, did you see Tigers coming back? Yeah. Ok. Wow. He healed faster than okay. Yes, yes, Marvin. And somebody fell for the banana in the tailpipe because I'm sure somebody teased it all. Coming up. You'll never guess who's back from an Achilles right here. Get up. I wouldn't go say no names. No, no. They wouldn't be duped by that. No, they wouldn't. Let me see Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew. Welcome back. Good morning, Dan Dennett. Thanks for taking my call. Now you said yesterday who wouldn't want to see a show taping? Like I would love to see the behind the scenes of the last hour with Fritzi. Maybe a little meeting and meetings between him and Paul off camera. I think that'd be pretty interesting to watch. But I called in because the Lakers did beat the Rockets last night. They were the second seed. It was a back and forth game. But more importantly for the Lakers, Gabe Vincent and Dorian Finney Smith have found their shot, have found their place on the court. They can get their shots. Some have 20 points for Jordan Smith. Kenny Smith, that's. Yeah. Got a bad connection. Andrew got a bad connection. Yeah. That doesn't mean they found their place on the floor. They did last night. Where have they been in the other games? They. They couldn't find their spots. Thank you for the phone call, Andrew. Doug in North Carolina. Good morning, Doug. What's on your mind? Well, Dan, I wanted to get in on these Torpedo bats And bring up something that no one has talked about so far. The home run king in baseball is the guy who was juiced up. The hitting king was a guy who gambled on the game. The only sacred numbers we have left in baseball are 56 for DiMaggio and 400 for Williams. My question to you is, if somebody hits in 57 straight games using one of these bats, is there an asterisk or you can acknowledge it as a real record. It's a real record. Baseball's allowed these bats. It's already been approved. So yeah, it's legitimate. Go back to when Babe Ruth was playing. He had a 44 inch bat, a 36 ounce bat. So 44 inches, 36 ounce bat. But back then, power was king. Guys weren't throwing as hard as they are now. Nowhere near that. And go back to 2008. The average fastball in 2008 was 91 miles an hour. It's now 94.2 miles per hour. That trend is going to continue. But you have this futuristic tapered bat and the Yankee hitters are taking advantage of it. You're able to catch up to modern velocity here, increase your swing speed. And also you have a sweet spot. Now if you've ever seen golfers, professional golfers in their clubs, they play with blades. There's a sweet spot that feels like it's about the size of a dime, maybe a quarter. Like you must hit it there. You hit it there and you'll get the results that you want. We can't play those clubs, but we get clubs that are larger, larger face and far more forgiving. Certainly with a driver, this feels like there is a sweet spot. And if you hit that sweet spot, you're going to get the results that you want. That's the amazing part of this. And guys throwing a hundred. All right, I can swing a little faster. I don't know if they show this. I know they show exit velocity. I don't know if they show swing speed. Have you seen graphics before with a batter swing speed? We do this with golf. Min Wu Lee's swing speed was 120 miles an hour. And your top end golfers will be in that area. I don't know how fast Aaron Judge swings about or Shohei Otani, but I know they have exit velocity. I'm just curious about how fast are they swinging that bat. Yeah, Paulie. Yeah. I went to mlb.com and they did have a stat last year. 11 hitters with the fastest bats in MLB average bat speed through the zone and Guys like Kyle schwaber, Ronald Acuna Jr. Aaron Judge, the players you would expect to be on there. Okay, but they said about the high end is like 77 miles an hour plus. Oh, all right, yeah, golfers, 120 miles an hour. But once again, if you're throwing 100, that's why when guys are doing Home Run Derby, you know, you have to generate all the power because your, your pitcher is not throwing it that fast. If you've ever seen somebody throwing a hundred and then you get a power hitter. Like when Randy Johnson and Mark McGuire faced one another and that was a hundred and it was McGuire and he hit an absolute bomb. Because hitters will say when you hit it perfectly, you don't feel anything. And that's because they hit the sweet spot. The bat does everything you. They just, they timed it correctly. But I don't know if the torpedo bats are going to be outlawed or they're going to be re examined. I don't know if there's an outcry from. And unless there's all the pitchers formed a union and they go, we are going on strike. We're not pitching until you get rid of torpedo bats. Baseball has to love this. Now, if it wasn't the Yankees, would it be as big of a deal? Let's say this was the Indians, the Guardians, would it be a big deal? It'd be like, oh man, the Guardians, they're hitting some home runs this year. It wouldn't be, oh my God, they're cheating the game. But it's the Yankees. And that's why I think it came to the forefront because more people watching. Aaron Judge hits three home. He's not even using the torpedo bat. So we'll talk to Jeff Passon of the Mothership about this. The bat, I think Cody Bellinger was using it last year with the Cubs. Nobody brought it up because Cody Bellinger didn't have a good year. But it's been around, which is kind of strange that all of a sudden it's, it's kind of like pickleball. It's been around for decades. And then all of a sudden everybody was like, hey, have you played pickleball? Have you seen pickleball? I think it's been around since the 50s. It's like the pitch clock in baseball. It's been there. They just never enforced it. Yeah, Paul, like you said earlier the week, there's a rule about bats can't be more than 2.61 inches in diameter on any part of the bat. But it doesn't say one part can't be at full max size and the other thinner. There is a guy named Aaron Leonhardt, former Yankees analytics person who was hired by the Marlins a couple years ago and he's the one who invented this bat. He's also an engineer. Yeah, but he's with the Marlins now. I don't know the Marlins blatant cheater. I, I think he's an MIT guy, but I don't know the Marlins using it. I don't, I haven't heard anything, haven't seen any stats there. But yeah, everybody's up in arms with this Sean in Florida. Hi, Sean. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. And Dan Edge wanted to say quickly about the push push and then I had a question. First and foremost, Bill Gators and then the words of Tommy Howe, AKA Little Larry Bird. Walter Clayton is a cold, cold man. I wanted to say the push push is boring and lame and nobody likes it and that's why they should get rid of it. Only people that like are the Eagles fans. And then quickly. I know it's kind of off topic, but we signed Chris Godwin back. So we got Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. I want to get your guys thoughts on it. There's a better wide receiver duo out there. Thanks, guys. Have a good day. I would say Puka Nakua, I would think with him, with Dante Adams, I would say those two guys. You still have to have Waddle and Tyreek Hill in there. Although I wonder how much longer Tyreek Hills with the Dolphins. I mean, I wonder what do the Dolphins look like next year if they have a sub 500 record coach in jeopardy. Tyree Kill not going to want to be there. What happens with Tua? Like I. This feels like a really, really, really important season for the Dolphins. Here's the Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel on Tyreek Hill. I can certainly say with certainty that at this certain moment we are fully planning to move forward as a better version of our, of our relationship with Tyreek and the Miami Dolphins. So I have no reason to think otherwise. He's a character. He is. He better get better as a coach because they this feels like a must, must win situation. We're already must win on April 1st and it's not an April Fool's joke. Let's get the hot seat going. April 1st hot seat. Non April Fool's edition. Yes. Yeah you boy. Oh. Who's got the hottest seat in the NFL for head coaches? Next on get up. Yes. Paul Tua is under Contract with the Dolphins for two more years. It'd be really tough to not stick with him. They can get out after the 2026 season. Well, no, they'll just trade him and get out by trading him. I don't, I can't imagine he's there after this next season. I think this is, this is it. He's already put out cryptic messages on social media. You know, probably end up back with the Chiefs. But yeah, I, you think about the Dolphins, there's a lot at stake. Your GM and your coach, your star wide receiver. And then how does that affect your quarterback with tua? Let me see. Will in West Virginia. Good morning Will. What's on your mind? Idp a two part question. So why aren't there more comparisons with Cooper flag and Christian Laetner? How would you compare the two and with. With Christian success four years under coach K, you know, considered one of the greatest of all time in college and then goes on to have a subpar NBA career. What spells success for Cooper? I think Cooper's just a more athletic player and he's great at both ends. He's a great passer and I mean Laetner is one of the top 10, maybe top five greatest college basketball players of all time. You know, the resume is there what, four Final Fours, couple national titles and can't argue, can't argue with the bottom line with Leitner now you can argue with some of the things that he did to get to the bottom line. But he was a tremendous college basketball player. It's just the pros are different than college. I look, I've watched so many great college players and it doesn't translate to the pros. And then we diminish what they did in college, which isn't fair to them. Tyler Hansbrough, he might still be the all time leading scorer in ACC history, but he wasn't a good pro. But he was still the all time leading scorer in the history of the acc. And there have been wonderful college players. Rick Mount who played at Purdue back in the 60s, he one of the greatest shooters ever. He wasn't a good pro. But then there are guys who are good in college who like John Habl. Check. When he played at Ohio State back in the 60s, he was, Jerry Lucas was the best player. He was one of the players. He goes on to have a Hall of Fame career. In fact, it was on this date. I don't know if I have the exact year. 1973, Havalchek made 24, 36 field goal attempts. He had 54 points in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Hawks. But when he was at Ohio State, it was Jerry Lucas. Certain guys develop. And Cooper flagg is only 18. Leitner was a finished product. He didn't get better in the pros. He was already really good. He went to the wrong team as well. He wasn't a savior. Shaq became better. Laitner was better in college than Shaq was. I mean, it wasn't even close. Shaq admitted. But the Cooper Flag, he's just far more athletic and you know, I don't want to get into. I'm going to compare the two. I'm just going to tell you Flag is a really good passer. He is very aggressive offensively and defensively. And when you think that he's only 18 and should be a senior in high school, like he should be playing in a state championship game in Maine, although he went to Mont Verde. But he, it, that's rare. Somebody that young, this good and going against the Olympic team and holding his own against the Olympic team. I mean, that's when all of a sudden people realized it's on hype. It's real. And do I think he'll have a better career than Leitner? Yes, he will. In the pros, I believe that. But college wise, these guys don't. Leitner might be the last great college career in men's basketball. Like, but you know, these guys who were before him, you know Tim Duncan, he was there four years. Grant Hill, but, but Leitner's career guys aren't going to stay for three or four years. That might be the last complete career, great career in college basketball history. I don't know who else, Marvin, you had put on there. You just mentioned Tyler Hansborough. Yeah, he might have the last great four year run. He finished off with a national title. Yeah. All time leading scorer. I don't think he's as iconic as Christian Leighton. Oh, no, no. I don't want to put him in that category. But as far as he was great all four years, he might be the last one. And on top of that, it's probably because he wasn't a great NBA prospect. Because if he was, he wouldn't stay four years. Yeah, but back then Ewing stayed four, Leitner, Duncan stayed four. You know, that's the difference. You weren't looked at almost like, what's wrong with your game? You can't go pro now one year. Like John Shire yesterday, he's not even having a conversation with Cooper Flag. It's like, nope, nope, no need to. And the only conversation he probably had about going pro was when he signed him and said, hey, enjoy your six months here. Take a break, play the day. Up next. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9:00am Eastern, 6:00am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia.

It all changed when I had this guy come to me. He said to me, you know, you're not Latina enough. First of all, what is that? My mouth is wide open. Yeah. History makers like the Sucard family who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career. Finally things are starting to shift into a different level.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast this Is Working can help with that. Here's some advice from Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your EQ A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? You know, when you walk in a room, do people feel good you're there? Are you responsive to people? Do people know you have a heart? Develop the team, develop the people. Create a system of trust. And it works over time. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast this Is Working, leaders like Jamie Dimon, Mark Cuban and Richard Branson share strategies for success and the real lessons that have shaped them. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Did you know that companies hire the most in the first two months of the year? Or that nearly half of workers are worried about being left behind? I am Andrew Seaman, LinkedIn's editor at large for jobs and career development, and my show Get Hired brings you all the information you need to, well, get hired. People are forming opinions of you even before you log into the zoom or walk into the room. And so you really have to think about what is it I want to display?

You should always be in there actively managing your network.

Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get moo. I was leaving this morning. I normally take my dog Winnie, a four year old rescue. And I have my son's dog because my son and his wife have been traveling. So we have a Shiba Inu who's 11 years old and they act like a cat. They couldn't care less about you walking out the door. And the four year old is going crazy as she always does. And then little Cooper goes with that sad look of I don't get to go for a ride. I go out to the garage, he's still there looking. I go, all right, get in the car. So if you're watching on Peacock, the dogs are running around the whole place here. But it wasn't bring your dog to work. It was bring your dogs to work day. And so everybody's kind of navigating here with two dogs, an 11 year old and a 4 year old. All right. Oh, Paulie just had something on. Coastal Carolina. Coastal Carolina is going to their at their football games. They're going to give you whatever you want for free. Now. They're not going to give you Beer, but food and drink. You want hot dogs, free nachos, free soda free. Everything free. Now you're going to pay for beers, but getting you into the stadium, you're going to have to buy tickets, you know, parking, those kind of things. But I'm wondering, Coastal Carolina, first of all, they're not on the coast, but I'll look past that. Coast ish. Coast ish. Carolina. What. What was their average attendance last year? So Coastal Carolina is a pretty good football school lately. The Chanticleers three years ago, they averaged 17,000 people a game. Last year they averaged 21 4. And that's pretty much a packed house for the 2024 season. Okay, so now when you go to the games, if you have a game ticket, you walk in, you could select up to 4 items per concession stand visit from a menu selection of hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and fountain drinks. There is no limit on how many times you can visit the concession stands, but you must scan the app with your ticket each time. Beer is not included. And some other specialty items. Third party vendors not included. Now, can I sit right by the concession stand and still watch the game? No, they're kind of in the concourse behind, but I know. I like where your head's at. Yeah, they estimate that they make about 250,000 per game off concessions. Coastal Carolina. Okay. And they won't sell a lot more tickets because they're kind of packed already. But from. Is this a branding play? Is this a publicity play? This isn't an April Fool's Day. No, they released it yesterday. Yeah, but that could be. Get a head start on the April Fools. Yeah, see, my guess is you have to do all of this through their athletics app. Right? There's a much bigger play down the line with that app that there's about to launch sometime in the coming weeks. I'm guessing that that's going to be the move. They're going to take a short term hit on this to make sure everybody gets that app. And then after that, that's where all the money's going to be made. Huh? Todd said that he thinks that they'll rename the stadium Ozempic Stadium. It'll be kind of ironic if he's 11 hot dogs and nine popcorns and 12 notches. Thank you, Todd. By the way, April Fool's Day got started back by the French and the 1500s, in case you care. It's been going on for a long time because when I think humor, I think the French. Bonjour como vetu. Would you Give me an update on the poll results there, Seaton, for the first hour. Heck yeah. I can give you an update on that. I sure can. Stalling, stalling. We have the brotherly shove, the tush push today. Will be made legal or illegal. Right now, 54% have it being made illegal. A lot of people think it's staying okay. That's a lot of people. I think it is because it's going to take. Unless the commissioner is going around the room and talking to everybody and saying, hey, I'm going to call in a favor. Hey, I need this. Hey, you got to help me on this. Feels like if he wants it out of the game, he's probably going to get his way. We'll have more phone calls coming up. We'll talk to Albert Brear. He'll join us in 10 minutes from now from the competition committee. Owners meetings or meeting? NFL meetings. Meeting. What is it, Todd? Officially it's meeting, but as a Seaton pointed out, everyone else you know is calling it meetings. Okay. Adam Lefkoe will join us a little bit later on. We'll do fill in the blank. Jeff Passon, he'll join us as well. The torpedo bat controversy. He'll join us as well. And see anything else that I forgot. Yukon in Texas in the women's final four last night is Paige Beckers continues her great run. Never won a national title.
