For those of us that are exiting stage left. Exiting stage left. 8773 DP show. If you'd like to dial us up, we're here. For the next three hours or so, we'll talk to Brandle Shamblee. Golf Channel Masters week underway. Got the par three tournament coming up and whether it looks like it's going to be great. The baseball commissioner, Rob Manfred, a little bit later on in the program if you would like to join us. Operator Tyler sitting by. You'll take your phone calls. Good morning. If you're watching, if you're streaming on Peacock or NBC Sports network, stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the DP show and first hour brought to you by the great folks at Miller Light. The picks will be coming in. Draft night isn't just about who gets called. It's about who shows up. Fernando Mendoza is not showing up the number one overall pick. It's going to sit this one out and be with his family. But for the big moments, Miller Light, legendary moments. Start with a Miller Light. Got a play of the day poll question. Stat of the day, all of that forthcoming NBA final regular season games. I mentioned, Fernando Mendoza is going to sit this one out. And I don't know, you know, might have to do with his mother not being able to travel, but he wants to spend the time with his family. I remember covering Barry Sanders and Barry Sanders was going to be at home with his family. He didn't go to the draft, but, you know, Barry wasn't the number one overall pick. Now if I'm the NFL, I'm like, okay, how do we get Fernando Mendoza? It's like you go to a play opening night and the star is not going to be there. He'll eventually be there, but he's not going to be there that opening night. And this draft is void of stars, name recognition. You have Jeremiah Love. Now he's the other big name. But, you know, this was about Fernando Mendoza. And if I'm the mothership and you want to have features, you know, your, your lead up to the draft. The Raiders are on the Clock and Fernando Mendoza walking in with his family. What's he wearing? You know, then you get that opportunity, get an interview with him. He gets drafted, he gets to hug the commissioner. And then you talk to him again after he gets drafted. So you get to spend, you know, a good hour on Fernando Mendoza leading in, you know, to that first night of the draft. Speaking of Jeremiah Love, I had him as second on my Heisman list. I thought he was wonderful this year. I thought he was must see tv. Here's the problem I have, and it. And I guess it's a good problem. But the Tennessee Titans at number four, they're the ones that a lot of these mock drops have them taking Jeremiah Love, the Notre Dame running back. And while I love Jeremiah Love, I don't want to take a running back unless I know my team. Like, that's the missing piece. Now, this is why I thought the Giants taking Saquon Barkley, it was a smart move. It was at the end of Eli's career. I thought that they were ready to win. And he was going to be that safety valve. He was going to give you 1200, 1400 yards. He was going to catch, you know, 40 or 50 pounds, and he was going to be a weapon. But if you take him that high, you got to make sure that you're able to use him on a good team, because you don't build around a running back. Now, years and years and years ago, you could build around a running back, but that's not the case anymore. The Raiders, they drafted Ashton Jenty. And while I loved watching him in college, I didn't think he played well. I didn't think he was a threat. He had 900 yards. 975. And he averaged a 3.7 yards per attempt. Number six pick overall. Well, he might be the right guy. It just wasn't the right time for him because the offensive line wasn't any good. If I'm Tennessee, I think long and hard about, okay, take Jeremiah Love. How is my offensive line? Because if we're confident our line is pretty good, not average, then take Jeremiah Love. But if you're not confident that that line will be opening up holes for him, you're gonna have him for four years, and then you might be getting better, and then you're gonna have to pay him. But if I'm taking Jeremiah Love, like Washington to me is the destination, because they had a down year, injuries, and you put Jeremiah Love in there with Jaden Daniels, now we got something. We got something going on. But I got to have the right team around him. It's just like a quarterback. And I have to have the right team ready to go for that running back. And I don't know if Tennessee is that team right now, because you might waste him. And he gets, you know, a thousand yards, which isn't a big deal anymore, but a thousand yards and your team wins, you know, six games. But if you have that missing piece and it's like, man, I can. I got a home run threat right there, because that's the guy. Because if I'm the Titans, I have the fourth pick. Do I trade out of that? Can I trade out of that? Can I get a lineman that I think is worth that pick? And alignment makes more. You know, we don't like when our team takes a lineman, a defensive lineman, an offensive lineman. We like when you have that pick that everybody knows. Oh, my God, Mill Kuyper loved that. You know, it's when you get some guy, you know, Jimmy Lipper out of NC State, and you go, yeah. But then you get to the playoffs, and then all of a sudden they're saying, oh, this is how they built their team. They got that center and then they got this guard, they got that tackle and free agency, that's how you win championships. That's how you advance in the playoffs. It's nice to have the shiny pieces, but if they're covered up, you know, the gold looks like pewter. And that's the big difference I have with this going into this draft. Jeremiah Love is a home run waiting to happen, but I got to make sure that I have a team that can allow him to hit home runs. Yes, Marvin.
- [08:54]
Amazon Advertiser
Yeah, I think the best case scenario was maybe 10 or so years ago when the Cowboys drafted Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall. And he had a great offensive line, and he came out like gangbusters, and I think he led the league in rushing. Yeah, that's the best case scenario. That's the time when you get a running back with the fourth pick in the draft, when you have your offensive line solidified already.
- [09:12]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. And then they got to the next contract, and I said, don't resign him. You got five years out of him. Let him go. And they. They resigned him. But, you know, the Titans, with a new stadium, I mean, you. You want to roll into this with some momentum. Cam Ward, by all accounts, is a franchise quarterback, but the more I look at these mock drafts, Jeremiah Love is probably going to be a top five, top six, top seven pick, maybe. I think the commanders, are they at seven and if that's the case, I would gobble him up if I'm Washington. But they're in a different position than Tennessee is. But, you know, this isn't one of those drafts where we're going to look back on all the big names, even the wide receivers. Like there are some wide receivers where you go, oh, yeah, I remember that guy. This is lacking star power, but that doesn't mean we won't look back and go, God, I got that guy in whatever slot, whatever round. And it might be a guy that is an offense defensive lineman, maybe an edge rusher in here who turns out to be great. But that's where it's tricky. You know, we don't have the star power with quarterbacks and the quarterback is not showing up for the draft. And Ty Simpson is probably going to be a first round pick, even though there are a lot of draft evaluators, including my friend who said, I don't have a first round grade on him. That doesn't mean he won't go in the first round because there are. People are still looking at Arizona, the Jets or the Steelers. Those are the three teams that everybody has been told they could be drafting Ty Simpson. So look, I'm going to the draft. We're going to be there for three days in Pittsburgh. We look forward to it. We love the atmosphere. You get to talk football in April. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't, I don't know if the focus will be completely on just the draft because you're going to have to be introducing people to some of these players, which is fine. I love doing that. If you find that guy and you go keep an eye on him. And it feels like every year where you go, man, I love that guy. And this might be one of those drafts where it's somebody you not quite sure about or you haven't heard, but then you remember, oh my gosh, yes, they talked about him on draft night. Yes, Marv.
- [11:31]

The NFL draft, espn, NFL Network. They got to put a montage of defensive linemen making big plays in the super bowl and in playoff games just to let teams know this is what wins championships. Because the name, name recognition alone is not going to move the needle.
- [11:45]
Dan Patrick
Well, you go back to Aaron Donald. When Aaron Donald was taken, they didn't know what they had. They're like, you got a short guy out of Pittsburgh and then all of a sudden he became one of the best defensive linemen in NFL history. You don't know. And that's where you go, where'd that guy go to school or how did he end up there? It doesn't matter as long as you end up in the NFL and you get your chance. Yes.
- [12:09]
Paulie
Pauling, and what you're saying about running backs. I just picked a draft from a couple years ago, 2022.
- [12:13]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [12:14]
Paulie
The best running backs from the 2022 draft. The three best. James Cook, middle of the second round. Having a very nice like him a lot. Kyron Williams out of Notre Dame for the Rams. He was a fifth round draft pick. He's basically almost free. And then Kenneth Walker iii, Super bowl mvp taking the middle of the second round. You don't need to draft a running back high and it's actually dangerous.
- [12:36]
Dan Patrick
But Jeremiah Love is different, right?
- [12:38]
Paulie
Like B John Robinson.
- [12:42]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yeah, I would put him on that level. Jameer Gibbs, but he can be a kick return. I mean, Jeremiah Love, he. He 90 yards like he's in scoring position when he's 90 yards out. There aren't that many players in recent memory who are in scoring position 90 yards out, but he's. He's fascinating. I just don't know if I would be taking him if I'm Tennessee at number four. Unless I am sold that my offensive line is good. Yes. Paulie.
- [13:14]
Paulie
Tennessee last season had the third worst rushing offense in the league. So clearly they're looking to help it. But you know, had the worst rushing offense in the league, the Las Vegas Raiders.
- [13:23]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it's about your offensive line really is. And I think what happens is I don't know if we're developing offensive linemen that that can play at the next level because college is different than the NFL with the style that you're playing. How many good teams are you playing and. But having a great offensive line or guys who are really good at playing their position, because we don't talk about that. We talk about edge rushers. You'll talk about cornerbacks, you talk about quarterbacks, wide receivers. It feels like that's the group that we talk about, certainly quarterbacks, wide receivers and then the edge rusher. But we don't focus on is there a plethora of really good offensive linemen. And I don't think that there are. I don't know. And I've talked to Ross Tucker about this before. Ross played offensive lineman. But I don't know if we develop them with the skill set to be ready to play in the NFL. They're developed to play in college football. It's like, you know, quarterbacks getting under center. These guys are having problems like Fernando Mendoza hasn't been under center. You're going to have to learn how to be under center. But that's what's kind of interesting. Like you couldn't play the position unless you got under center. Now you're in a shotgun all the time. But if you have an offensive coordinator or a head coach where we want you to be under center occasionally, you're not learning that in college. I don't know how many quarterbacks played under center in college, even for a few plays. Because you'll hear a quarterback go, well, I got to learn how to play under center. Well, it is a learned skill. You got to. You're at the line of scrimmage, you're calling your plays and all of a sudden getting the ball now backing up if you're going to throw seven yard drop, five yard drop. But I always thought that quarterbacks would benefit being under center because now play action is, is more deceptive that the, you know, the defense can't really see everything. If you're in shotgun. I can see you when you're going back to pass and I like when you're going back to pass because you're kind of going back and surveying the entire field there. Now you might say, yeah, but you still got to go back seven yards. You got to plant, step up in the pocket. But I just thought when you're under center, I can do a lot of different things there. If I'm in the gun, it's, you know, if I hand the ball off, there's no real deception there. And I always thought like, Boomer Siason was wonderful with play, play fake, play action. He was great, one of the best that I ever saw. And I always thought that that was such a benefit for the offense and, you know, a detriment to the defense because they're like, I can't really. And these, you know, these running backs, if you're around them on the field, they're like five, nine. I mean, nobody's six feet tall. Eric Dickerson is not coming through that door, but, well, Derek Henry, he's coming through the door.
- [16:31]
Paulie
He's unique.
- [16:32]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, he's tearing. He'd be breaking open down the door. But these guys are small. Why not take advantage of that deception? And Fernando Mendoza. Now you get Ashton Genty with a legitimate quarterback. They'll bolster the offensive line. I got Brock Bowers is my tight end now. There's promise there. And your head coach just won a Super bowl with Seattle. But these are all the things leading into the draft that I'm always curious about the philosophy of what somebody is looking at when they're looking at that player and who trades down. There's. You might get GMs making really smart decisions. This draft. Seaton brought this up earlier this morning. He goes, there's no guy. You're really going to go, I'm going to reach for that guy. It's. Man, we'll just take that guy right there. And that's it.
- [17:24]
Marvin
Although we forced into smart picks.
- [17:26]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yeah, that's no fun. No shiny fun.
- [17:29]
Marvin
Object over there. All right, get the tackle.
- [17:31]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Alrighty. So just some football there. Randall Shamblee is going to join us from Augusta. Get ready for the Masters. I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime where we would say this golfer against the field versus the field. But this is where we are with Scotty Scheffler. Scotty is entering that Tiger. Hey, Tiger. Or the field. Scotty Scheffler on. Or the field. I'll always take the field. Even with Tiger, I had to take the field. Even though that pick would come back to haunt me pretty much all the time. Like, damn, he did it again. Yeah, Paul.
- [18:12]
Paulie
But Scheffler and Woods are the opposite. On the course. It's like.
- [18:15]
Dan Patrick
And off the course.
- [18:16]
Paulie
Right.
- [18:17]
Dan Patrick
And off the course.
- [18:18]
Paulie
But like, Tiger would wear red on Sunday. Scotty Sheffler would wear like a beige V neck on Sunday. His beige V neck.
- [18:25]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. You know, the best thing that ever happened was when he got arrested.
- [18:29]
Paulie
Oh, yeah.
- [18:30]
Dan Patrick
Scotty. Best thing that happened when Scotty got arrested.
- [18:33]
Marvin
Man of mystery.
- [18:33]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Do we know this guy? Rebel man. He's got a. A secret life. Yeah, he just had another kid, you know, probably has a minivan. You know, two of them. Yeah, both beige. All right. Randall Shamblee. He'll join us coming up next. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Down to the last pigs in a blanket. So soon? I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned and other days, well, life throws curve balls. It's not always convenient.

Dan Patrick
We've been treated to a lot of drama in the past calendar year. Go back to last year's Masters where Rory was going to win it, going to lose it, going to win it, going to lose it, wins it. You had the national title game in football. That was awesome. World Series, Game 7, Blue Jays and the Dodgers, this year's national title game. And men's basketball wasn't that great. But you know, we've been treated to a lot of great stuff here. Brando Shamblee, on loan from Golf Channel, joining us in Augusta. I didn't think in my lifetime I'd ever say a golfer against the field, but here we are, it feels like with Scotty Scheffler. Is that fair to say it's Scotty versus the field at the Masters?
- [23:43]
Randall Shamblee
Yeah, I think he separated himself not quite to the extent that Tiger did, but to your point, I didn't think I'd ever again in my lifetime see a golfer with such complete control tea to green as Tiger woods had. And that's what we're talking about with Scotty. He's not quite the putter that Tiger woods was. So he doesn't distance himself quite to the extent that Tiger did. But I think that's a fair statement.
- [24:04]
Dan Patrick
Dan, the familiarity of coming back to the same course. Now, I know they change it, they tweak it, but is that why Cinderella Stories don't usually happen at Augusta.
- [24:16]
Randall Shamblee
I think that's part of it. I think, you know, Augusta is such. It's a unique golf course. You don't play a Hillary, a Hillier golf course on the PGA Tour. Every lies either above your feet or below your feet. So you've got to have, for the most part, an upright golf swing to pick it off those weird lies. And you got to hit the ball so high to get it to stop below the hole on those devilish greens. So there are not that many people that can do those things. They're just not that many people that also have a blend of power and finesse around the green. It is really a place where the best players go to show off, and so there's not much room for anybody else. The average world rank of a winner there the last 10 years is around ninth. So that's a trend in the game of golf generally. But more specifically at Augusta, I didn't
- [25:06]
Dan Patrick
know how Rory's game was going to react after winning last year, because that's the exhale. That's when you can go out and just play now, and nobody's going to say, hey, you've done everything, but you haven't won the Masters. Well, now he's won all those. He won the Grand Slam, but I haven't seen that exhale. Now I can go out and just play. Why?
- [25:30]
Randall Shamblee
Well, I think he. He's reset his goals. You know, he kind of stated it at the end of last year. You know, he. He said he. He wanted to win an Away Rider Cup. He said he wanted to win the Grand Slam again. So he's sort of reset his goals. You know, he's 36. The window closes pretty fast. I mean, okay, he's. In this era, we've had Tom Brady and we've had Federer, and we've had great examples of longevity in the game. And he looks like he's headed in that direction. He's got great team around him from a fitness standpoint. So maybe he's got another 10 years, and if he does, maybe he can win the Grand Slam again. And I think he's. I think he's hungry again this week. He's, you know, he's certainly having a good time. He said, he said he could never wait for the Masters to start in the past, and this one he wished would never start. So he's really enjoying himself. I don't know if he'll play with quite the intensity that he has because of the, you know, the enjoyment that he's getting out of this week. So that's enough to make me, you know, probably not pick him this week.
- [26:30]
Dan Patrick
I don't know if PGA Tour can declare victory, but it feels like that with live Tour that, you know what, there's no big names in the last, what, two or three years who've gone to live, and it just feels like they're going to, you know, have their tournament like the fight is over. Maybe there's still curiosity there. But did PGA Tour win?
- [26:55]
Randall Shamblee
They did, yeah. I mean, even when live events are broadcast in the United States, and even when they're broadcast and finished in primetime on the east coast, they garner 35, 50,000 views. More people watch pickleball than that on TV. So. And these are the best players. I mean, Bryson DeChambeau, John Rom playing on the east coast, finishing. Then they're just not galvanizing anybody to watch them around the globe. They'll get a few people out. They make it easy for people to come out. But, you know, Brooks Koepka leaving live tour was a boon for the PGA Tour. Patrick Reed leaving the live tour was a boon for the DP World Tour, for the PGA Tour. And, and, you know, if you Listen to Bryson DeChambeau, he's trying to play both sides against the middle. He's, he's asking supposedly for $500 million. I don't think the Saudis are going to bite there, I think has a pretty much an inflated view of his value because, again, people don't watch him on TV. They may go to his YouTube videos, but they're not watching him on TV.
- [27:53]
Dan Patrick
Bryson DeChambeau, Golf Channel lead studio analyst and live from the Masters Must See TV before and after the coverage. You haven't said anything that's got you in trouble here this week, have you?
- [28:06]
Randall Shamblee
No, I've been on my best behavior, Dan.
- [28:08]
Dan Patrick
Why? Why? I don't, I don't like that. You know, no drama there. I'm always like, oh, let's have Brando on. He said something.
- [28:16]
Randall Shamblee
I ruffled a few feathers here and there, but, you know, there's. There's decreasingly less controversy in the game of golf. That's probably not good. It's better when we get a little controversy. The great thing about majors, Dan, is that it does bring live players back so you get this sort of Ryder cup feel. You know, Patrick Reed comes in here playing great. John Rom comes in here on a tear, and so does Bryson DeChambeau. So it's likely we'll have this great back and forth between one of them. And, you know, one of the popular players on the PGA Tour.
- [28:45]
Dan Patrick
A month ago, did you think Tiger was playing in the Masters?
- [28:48]
Randall Shamblee
I did. You know, two weeks ago I thought he was playing. I, I'd heard he was practicing. I heard he was grinding away. I saw him hitting balls at the TGL event. He looked, he looked okay. And yeah, I thought he'd be here. It's, it's sad. And I think everybody in the sports world hopes he goes and gets the help that he needs.
- [29:07]
Dan Patrick
What's his future as a golfer?
- [29:11]
Randall Shamblee
You know, I just don't think he should play anymore, personally. I mean, I mean, obviously he's a golfer. He wants to get out there and he can play the Champions Tour and get in a cart and go play with his best buddies Fred Couples and Steve Stricker, who did that sounds really fun. But he's, you know, he pushes himself to his physical limits. So if he goes back to practice and he goes back to grind, the same thing's going to happen. He's going to push himself to his physical limits. He's going to get injured, it's going to require surgery, it's going to require prescription pain medicine and you know, it's, it's hard not to imagine him getting on that treadmill again. So he's done everything you could ever possibly do in the game of golf. Every other thing in the world is open to him, from designing golf courses to the governance of the PGA Tour, etc. Etc. So, you know, personally, I, you know, we will miss him as a competitor, but he gave us so much.
- [29:59]
Dan Patrick
Dan, if Tiger never started lifting weights. Finish that sentence.
- [30:06]
Randall Shamblee
He would have probably won 125 golf tournaments and 25 majors. You know, if you go back to when he was a wispy teenager and Jack and Arnold played with him in a practice round here, I believe it's 1995 or 6. They said he's going to win more Masters titles than us combined. Well, Jack won six, Arnold won five. So they were predicting 11 plus Masters titles. He averaged 346 yards off the tee then. And that was not with a solid core golf ball and that was not with one of these big headed long drivers. 346 yards off of the tee. That's what they saw in him. He traded speed for strength. Maybe it helped him think he deserved it. Maybe it helped him be intimidating. And you know, I'm sure he wanted to treat golf like a sport, so. But his body broke down pretty quickly and I don't, I just don't know that he was training properly or he got the proper rest. Either way, I don't think it did him a whole lot of good.
- [31:02]
Dan Patrick
I think he wanted to look like an athlete. Brandle.
- [31:05]
Randall Shamblee
Exactly. I do, too. I, you know, you could say that's vanity. You could say, but when you look at him, he was very intimidating. And you can't, I don't think we can disregard the intimidation factor. When, when people would get paired with Tiger, they would always say, you know, I want to get paired with Tiger. I'm like, well, really, do you? Because the cost of playing with Tiger was okay. So if you got paired with Tiger on Saturday and Sunday, and this was, you know, when I looked this up, maybe like 2005. So it was damn near a decade. If you got paired with him on Saturday and Sunday, you were ostensibly playing as good a golf as Tiger, otherwise you wouldn't get paired with him. And then the difference between what you had shot and what you shot with Tiger was 3 1/2 shots. So the cost of playing with Tiger was 3 1/2 shots. There's never been a more intimidating golfer than Tiger Woods.
- [31:55]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I think the vanity part of it as well. You look at those old videos where, you know, the shirt, it's like draped on him, you know. Now if you didn't know what he did for a living, you'd say, is he a football player? I mean, it looks like he's a defensive back.
- [32:11]
Randall Shamblee
Yeah, that's who he hangs out with. You know, those are his buddies. And he did help turn this, this, this game into a sport. Rich Lerner told me he did an outing with him like a year, year and a half ago. He walked up to him and, you know, patted him on the back. He said it was like patting a piece of absolutely rock hard ripped. And, you know, he did make the sport look cool and he looked awesome. And, you know, you can't argue with the record 15 major championships and 82 tournaments. But the injuries changing his golf swing, this kept him from being the all time major winner.
- [32:50]
Dan Patrick
Was it worth it, Randall?
- [32:52]
Randall Shamblee
I don't think so. But, you know, if Tiger was sitting here right now, he, you're an idiot. It was, it's a sport. You got to train. And I'm not saying training's not necessary at all. That's not what I'm saying.
- [33:03]
Dan Patrick
But why isn't Scotty Scheffler jacked?
- [33:06]
Randall Shamblee
Scotty trains differently. I think they learned from the mistakes that Tiger made in the gym.
- [33:11]
Dan Patrick
Rory's jacked.
- [33:12]
Randall Shamblee
Rory Trains differently, though. You know, there's more big movements, more fast movements. If you look at the exercises they all do now, it's nothing like what Tiger used to do. I mean, Tiger was on the COVID of Fitness, Men's Fitness or something, and he went back and looked, and it. It was not the stuff. You know, as you go along, you learn. You learn how to train, and these guys learn how to train for fluidity of movement and speed. Not necessarily. You know, Tiger looked like he could lift a Buick off of the Epic. And these guys just looked like they could. You know, they look like speed swimmers. They look like gymnast than gym rats.

Have you ever been in the building during the Champions Dinner?

Dan Patrick
Have you ever tried to look? Are there windows where you can look into the Champions Dinner?
- [33:57]
Randall Shamblee
Well, they.
- [33:58]
Paulie
They.
- [33:58]
Randall Shamblee
You know, before they go in there, they have cocktails on the patio, so we have cameras leering in it. Look, they're having a Nazalia, who's having a bourbon up there.
- [34:09]
Dan Patrick
Why don't you walk in and just grab, like, a drink off of the waiter's tray and, you know, just act like you belong there.
- [34:16]
Randall Shamblee
I think I would be escorted off. The problem last year. Ever see me on Live From? We're always sitting on our set, Dan, just pontificating about the menu and the wine and frivolous things like that.
- [34:28]
Dan Patrick
When I played in the mid-90s, and I went into the players locker room, and you got to see everybody's. I don't. I wasn't supposed to go in there, I don't think. But you see the name plates. And I remember looking in Jack's locker. There were two green jackets in there, so not six. Yeah, they. It wasn't locked. And I just remember I went in there and I was like, well, I'm here. I might not get back. There wasn't any security. And I thought, you know what? Why not? Yeah. I mean, I'm a big deal. I'm on SportsCenter. Of course, they're not going to throw me out of this place, but I remember looking in the locker room, like, oh, my God. Then I remember touching the jacket and like, I better get out of here. But they did. They showed me the wine cellar. Now, I was told that you always wanted to get an assessment, like, you always wanted to get your letter, because then it was a good thing to be told you owe this. This amount of money, because when you don't get it, then you're not going to be coming back to Augusta. So one guy says to me, the Guy who was my host was. I don't know, he's probably 75 years of age, so his dad made him join many, many, many years ago. And he said, somebody brought up, why don't we have a wine cellar? Well, that guy got a letter from Augustus saying, you're going to pony up for the wine cellar, because it was a makeshift wine cellar. I went down there. There was a large bottle of champagne, and it said, ike. So it was Eisenhower had some wine, champagne down there, and there was no wine cellar in Augusta. And this guy was told, you're going to pay for the wine cellar.
- [36:16]
Randall Shamblee
You know, you down there is probably when you know, a gift, you know, when he liberated France or something. It's rumored to be the best wine cellar in the world. And, yeah, be careful what you wish for. You're likely to get the bill for it. But if you. I don't know if you saw Rory's menu. Yeah, but. And I don't know if you, if you're a wine lover, but if you're a wine lover and a buddy of mine's got great psalm friends, and they were like, that's the best wine list they've ever seen at Champions Dinner. Rory knows his wine.
- [36:44]
Dan Patrick
Yes, he does.
- [36:45]
Randall Shamblee
And it was, you know, they, they, they at Augusta Country Club, where we're at when we're getting ready for the show before we go over to Augusta National. They recreated the Champions Dinner for us last night, minus the wine.
- [36:57]
Dan Patrick
I was gonna say, was that a Chateau Lafitte?
- [37:03]
Randall Shamblee
I think I had a. A duck horn below.
- [37:05]
Dan Patrick
Okay, that's all right. All right. If not Scheffler, then who.
- [37:11]
Randall Shamblee
If not Scheffler, you know, I would go with Ludwigelberg first. Ludwig comes in here, you know, playing his rear off the last three events. And I think because he hasn't won, sort of keeps him hungry. Twice he's played at the Masters and he's finished second and seventh. And if not Oberg, I would go Cameron Young, who similarly comes in here playing his rear off and has played twice at Augusta and finished seventh and ninth. And then below that, just below that, I'd go Fleetwood and Matthew Fitzpatrick. And if you're looking for a nice bet on a first timer, I'd go Chris Goderup.
- [37:46]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, got her up. Played well. He had a stretch there. Played really well. Oberg. He has had three straight top five finishes.

The play of the day. This is the play of the day. Check this out. Was air mailed to the backstop. Oh, oh. And now here comes Solaire. They're gonna start to fight. They're throwing blows. We got major differences here as they're throwing haymakers. And now a big pile on the first baseline. Sholair was hit by a pitch in the third inning. And we got a riot here in la, courtesy of the Braves radio network. That was wild. Solar hit a two run homer in the first inning. Then he got drilled with a fastball in his next plate appear. And he's been hit four times by Braves pitchers in his career. Oh man, I hate, I hate when somebody homers and the next time they come up and the pitcher hits them, it's so cowardly because pitchers aren't going to be batting. But when you see that and it looks obvious and the hitter knows it's obvious, then it's game on. And you saw that play of the day, by the way. I mean they were usually baseball fights are just sort of slow dancing. It's like, you know, it's like a prom. But that one had some people swinging there. There was some action there.

- [43:25]
Dan Patrick
Solaire Homer in two of the four games against Atlanta which he was hit by a pitch. He also played for the Braves in 2021, again in 2024. Yes, Todd, if you're afraid to face the batter, just intentionally walk him, signal and put him on base to try to put the guys life or you know, career in danger. You don't know how you can control. You can hit somebody in the face or something like that. Put them out several weeks unless something was said that record, you know. And even then you can't be throwing a 90 mile an hour pitch at somebody's head or any part of it. Do you watch any baseball? I've watched plenty baseball. Yeah, well this happens. They police themselves. This has happened for decades. I don't care if someone said something or there was a bat flip or he stared at you or you slowly went around the bases and took an hour and a half after the home run. Can't be throwing a pitch. Chris in Syracuse. Hi Chris. What do you have for me today?

Hey, thanks Dan. I got a couple of things for you and I'd like to say to something to Seton if I may. Hey, it took Geno till 9 o' clock Tuesday night to finally issue a real apology for something that occurred four days earlier. Yeah, last night was not Gino apologizing, that was the University of Connecticut making Gino apologize. And Dan, yesterday you were talking with Jalen Rose about the popularity of the name Jalen. I know Nick's assistant coach Rick Brunson named his son Jalen Brunson after his good buddy the formation Jalen Rose. And also Dan, yesterday you were talking about Amari Stoudemire getting into the hall of Fame. Dad, remember when you were interviewing Steve Nash and he was on the Suns team bus and he was questioning your basketball shooting prowess and you said to him just ask Stoudemire, he knows. And Steve Nash yells out hey, stat. Can Dan Patrick shoot it? A couple seconds later Nash was like yeah.
