You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on FOX Sports Radio. Ah, fun night. Lot to recap. Come on in, gangs. Here my starting lineup, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Polyers, Truly and the back room guys. Tuesday edition of the Dan Patrick Show. Reggie Miller will join us a little bit later on the return of the NBA. Two games tonight. Reg will be on the call with the warriors and the Lakers, Rockets and the Thunder as well. NBC and Peacock begin their run as host of the NBA. You had a couple of games last night in the NFL and didn't really lived up to any kind of excitement. We kept waiting for something to happen, certainly with the Buccaneers, and it didn't. The excitement was the Blue Jays come back to beat the Mariners and they head to the World Series. And once again, Seattle is the only baseball team, the only current baseball team to have never made a World Series. And you had one out, you had one batter and then you had Cal Raleigh in the on deck circle. That's what we were hoping for, at least end it that way. He had an incredible season. Extremely emotional after the game. Felt like, you know, it was a disappointment or they let Seattle down. They were great story. They went toe to toe. But you can't win those two games in Toronto and come home and then lose those games because Toronto was a really good team from start to finish this year and they're not finished yet. They go into the World Series. They'll be big underdogs here against the Dodgers. We'll talk a little bit more about that coming up. Lions handle the Buccaneers 24. 9. And you know, they lose Mike Evans, they're, they're already banged up, broken column collarbone. Bucky Irving was already out. Like this is one of those, it was going right and you're waiting for Godwin and Evans to come back and now it's not going to happen with Evans with the broken collarbone. I think he got concussed on that as well. But the Lions did what they're supposed to do. The Lions and the Chiefs right now the two best odds for the super bowl and not surprised at all that they've kind of, it took a little while certainly for the Chiefs. And you know, the Lions have been there. Tough schedule, but that was a game they had to have. I think if the Buccaneers had won that one, then we would continue to be like, wow, they are real. The Lions had to win that game. It felt like because you're at home, they have gone. I think the number is 51 consecutive games without losing consecutive games. That's the longest streak in the NFL right now. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. By the way, if you go to the website, you can pick up your Joe Flacco T shirt. I didn't think I would be saying that this year, but Flacco around and find out the T shirt is available. We're going to have it up there until their next game. Who do the Browns play? Don't they play the Jets? All right. Might be able to keep it up for two more weeks there, but Bengals in the Jets. They should say Flacco around and find out. First hour brought to you by Mako. Oh, get Flacco. No, oh, get Mako. From dense dings, faded paint. They got you covered. Free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates, including iHeartradio and Fox Sports Radio. Play of the day poll questions, Stat of the day, all of that forthcoming 877 3DP show operator Tyler sitting by with my dog Winnie taking your phone calls. Yes, Seaton, I have your Cleveland Browns. Their schedule is at New England, then at the jets home against Baltimore at the Ravens. There's a bunch of wins in there, actually. Oh, there could be. Okay. Don't you think? Well, what about the Bengals? Oh, yeah, that's right. He's a Bengal now. Damn it. It's so hard to separate. It really is. Joe Flacco's history with the Bengals is so storied, but it is nice to know what the Browns are going to be doing. Ah, damn it. That's right. He's on the Bengals now. Same state, same colors, same everything. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. They're playing the jets better than the Bears, though. They got better receivers down south than the Steelers, then the Patriots. Okay, that's what the schedule is. Yes, Paul, I know we have other things to hit, but it's still so nuts that the Browns would help the Bengals for a pick swap. Yeah, they gave a decent quarterback to the Bengals, who are floundering. But how many people said at the time, boy, they're really Giving the Bengals a boost. I don't know how many people did, because they thought, well, if he can't be good for the Browns, can't start for the Browns. He lost his job with the Browns. How good can he be? And my point was, you still have those receivers. As long as you keep Joe Flacco upright, that's it. He'll still be able to throw the ball, and you got those receivers. That's why watching the Texans last night was C.J. stroud. I mean, I don't know how good he is. You can say he's regressing. That offensive line is not good. Not having an offensive line will make every quarterback mortal. Everyone. If you look at Mahomes in two Super Bowls, he got humbled, he got embarrassed. He was mortal. Why he didn't have an offensive line. If Jared Goff played for another team, if he played for the Texans, we'd go, what's wrong with Jared Goff in Detroit? He's got the best left tackle. He's got a really good offensive line, really good weapons. And we go, man, he could be an MVP candidate. That's the difference. Brady, when they blocked for him in the super bowl, was unbelievable. When he played against the Giants, they didn't block for him and he got humbled. That's the difference. I don't care how good your quarterback is, you got to have somebody blocking for him at some point if you're going to be a winner. And if Joe Flacco can get some protection there, just like Jared Goff did last night. Golf didn't play well. He had Jameer Gibbs. By the way, this is how it sounded with Jameer Gibbs. Touchdown run last night. First down, hands to Jameer Gibbs. There he goes. Foot race, right side. You got no shot at catching. That man can find. End zone touchdown. Detroit Lions, 78 yards. A bolt of lightning. And the Lions extra point away from doubling up their lead. That was a reminder game where you go, oh, that's right. He's really good. Like, really good. He had a night. That's courtesy of the ticket, the Lions radio network. And when you look at Jir Gibbs and you look at what he does, he's. He's in an interesting category. Players who have averaged 5.3 yards per carry or better in their first three NFL seasons. This is since 1970. At least 300 carries. Jamal Charles averaged 6 yards per carry. Achan, with the Dolphins averaging 5.5 yards. C.J. spiller, 5.3. And then Jameer Gibbs, 5.3. Bo Jackson 5.3 as well. I mean, averaging over 5 yards per carry. That is some lofty territory there with Jameer Gibbs. But he was wonderful last night. Baker Mayfield did not have a great night. Kept waiting for something to happen. Kevin Harlan was on the call for Westwood One. He'll join us next hour. We'll talk about that. I don't know if he was waiting. I kept waiting for them something to happen. And then the Mike Evans thing. I mean, devastating. You're losing a Hall of Fame receiver before his season really even started. And here's Baker Mayfield upset with the officials. Still pretty damn confused about the double review. A lot of things in that game that a little questionable, but a lot of frustration at the end of that. It might be displaced onto John Hussey in the moment, but it's. I work my ass off when I put a lot into this game. So when things that I don't seem are deemed fair, I'm going to let somebody know. And that's good. Bad, indifferent. Yeah, it can be expensive as well. But he was John with the officials there. But that's a. That's frustration as well. Kind of taking over. But give Detroit credit. I mean, that's a game you got to win against a really good opponent. The Seattle win. I don't know who Seattle is. Like, there's a few teams that I don't know how good they are. I know that defense is good. I know that if Sam Darnold plays mistake free football, they're going to be in every game you're 5 and 2. But I don't know what that 5 and 2 means because it can mean different. I mean, levels of wow, they're five and two to they're five and two. They're wow, can you believe they're five and two? But Seattle is a tough place to play and Sam Darnold has done well. I don't know how good the Colts are, but I did say I thought they were a playoff team. We started the season, you're in a bad division and Danny Dimes has played really well. And they got some playmakers there. Kansas City. I picked Kansas City and Detroit to go to the Super Bowl. Not a big leap there. And I still think those are the two best teams right now. I don't. Maybe the Eagles are sort of up and down. Never quite sure. Not that vibe you had last year, maybe more like the previous year. It's still there. I just don't get the sense it's all there. Yeah, Marvin. But having the Eagles work themselves into Chiefs category territory. As far as, oh, man, they're not playing very well. Let's wait until the playoffs start, then we'll see how good they are. Yeah, and same with the Lions. There's a few teams like that. I would always say that about Baltimore. I'd say that about the Chargers. I'd always say that about the Cowboys. Regular season is fun. Postseason, that's for fame. That's where, when you do something, that's when you're remembered. Or when you don't do something, that's when you're remembered. Yeah. Paul, you know who's catching a lot of shrapnel today and this week is the Minnesota Vikings brass. Daniel Jones, who was on the Vikings roster last year, is playing out of his mind. Sam Darnold's playing really well and leading them to good days. And it's like revisionist history. People are saying, man, they should have kept Sam Darnold. Not a lot of people said that last year at the end of the season. No, you had those two bad games at the end of the year, and they're like, oh, okay, it's done. You know, the whole thing that those are two guys who got started in New York. And when it goes bad in New York, it goes worse than any other city in America, especially if you're a quarterback in those cities. And Sam Darnold was a high pick, so was Daniel Jones, and they failed, and therefore, it's all on them. And then we kicked him to the curb and, you know, we, we've kind of got. Got to get used to this reclamation, this comeback that you have with quarterbacks. Now, granted, Sam Darnold got bounced around to a couple of different teams. Danny Dimes just went from, you know, the Giants. He was a backup in Minnesota, didn't get a chance to really play. And now you're with the Colts and good. Baker Mayfield, same way. I mean, Jared Goff got kicked to the curb by the Rams, when you think about it, because Matthew Stafford was available. Hey, here's the consolation prize. We want you to take some first round draft picks as well. Will you please take Jared Goff? He got them to a Super Bowl. Jared Goff is a good quarterback. Good quarterback, really good quarterback. But goes back to, you got a good offensive line. I, I got Sewell there that I, I feel a whole lot better when I go to the line of scrimmage where I go, yeah, I got him. And if I'm, you know, Jameer Gibbs, I go, yep, I know he's going to take care of one or two people. All right, 877, three DP show. Which poll question? Seaton. Oh, my gosh. We've got seven at least right now. Seven. Yeah, seven. Okay. Give me a. Give me a taste here before we take a break. Taste before the break. Yeah. We have two poll questions based on your 5 and 2 commentary. Okay. All right. A little thing we like to call More For Real. Is that the official title? This is a More for Real poll question. Okay. AFC and NFC version. All right. We have a. Whose career would you want? We have a. Would you rather. We have a. I'm rooting for. We have a Witch's Worst. We have a. You can pick when to win a title. Okay, you did say something. Would you rather be a cheater or an underachiever? Yeah, right. Or underachiever. Coming up later. Okay. Yes. You're gonna have to explain that one. Like what. What spurred that one on? Would you rather be a cheater or an underachiever? Yeah, well, there's a longer sentence to explain both of those, but if we're doing this sort of abbreviation. Get right to the point. Okay. Cheater, underachiever. Okay, then we'll wait till after the break. Yes, Todd, is the morpher real? The MFer. What are we talking about here? The MF repo question. Yeah, that's right. All right. Thank you, Todd. We have a lot of letters on this show. Most must win game of the weekend. And you've got a few of those. What's that called when I do it all by a letter? Anagram. We're a big anagram show. Danogram. All right, we'll come back. We've got phone calls. Settle on a poll question. Reggie Miller in the final hour, and Kevin Harlan, who was on Fritzi. Get the Kevin Harlan voice ready to go. This is the NBA on Prime Video. I can't believe what I just saw. I want to know how Kevin Harlan's voice is this morning because he did the Denver Giants game. And then you go from that atmosphere, and then you do the Detroit Lions game with Tampa Bay last night on radio. And then he's got the Lakers on Friday night. Wow, what a schedule.

Whenever I got through the window I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff. I'm Ben Westoff and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down and proceeded. I tilted his head back and presented him mouth to mouth in cpr. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt, but when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Gross Heim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky or was something much darker at play? Listen to the Peacemaker podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. The Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is Back Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Got a lot of options for the poll question, recapping the Blue Jays and the Mariners. I was polling for the Mariners because they're the last team, last franchise that's even been to a World Series, and I would like to have seen the big dumper continue his season. What he ended up with 65, 70 home runs this year? I think 60. No. Including the regular season. Oh, total, yeah. Yeah. So I think 65. I think he's hit more home runs if you include the postseason than any player in American League history, if that sounds right. But he was in the on deck circle. Julio Rodriguez was at the plate and he had Cal Raleigh there in the on deck circle. George Springer it was a reminder night for George Springer because you go, oh, that's right, he was with the Astros. Yes, those Astros. But his numbers. He's not a Hall of Famer, but he's the hall of I want that guy on my team, especially in the postseason. He has played 78 games and he has 23 home runs. So he's third. Tied for third. I think on the all time postseason home run list. Now granted, more postseason games, you know, Mickey Mantle and some of those players played in far less playoff games because there were less matchups. They didn't have, you know, nlcs, alcs, the divisional series. They didn't have a wild card. But George Springer, George Springer is unbelievable. And here is the call last night as he wins the American league championship series. 10 pitch, swinging a fly ball left field and deep. A Rosa Reina turns good. A Springer Dinger. Four three Blue Jays in the bottom of the seventh. I love that. A Springer Dinger. And he is clutch. You talk about leadoff hitters lead off home runs. And he's got 293, 293 home runs regular season in his career. So I think he's one out of every three at bats in the postseason, hits a home run and one out of five maybe that he hits a home run. Yeah. In the regular season. Those are pretty good ratio numbers there for George Springer. Four time All Stars. He was an MVP of the World Series in 2017. You still have the Astros cheated stench that still permeates with all these players. Not as much, you know, it'll be in his bio. But really I think it, you know, kind of focuses or centers on Altuve. But Altuve is going to be a Hall of Famer. But George Springer, that's money. That is a guy in the postseason. And he's got a banged up knee because he took a foul ball off his knee. And I know there'll be revisionist history of you can't walk him. I would have walked him. I would have walked him because. Or I would have pitched to him because of the knee. I didn't think he was taking healthy swings. And John Smoltz talked about this. Now I can talk about his history not wanting to pitch to him, but I'm talking about what happened in this series. I didn't think he was completely healthy and he was going down on one knee sometimes when he was swinging the previous game. I would have pitched to him in that situation. I wouldn't have given him that pitch. It's one of those where you go, how about the corners? That was right down the middle and he was waiting and that was awesome. So George Springer and Seattle's how many ounce away? Like 11 ounce away? Yeah. Marvin, do you think he's in that same category as maybe like a Madison Bum Garner? I don't know if Madison Bumgar is going to the hall of Fame or not, but I know when it Was money on the line. Yeah, he was going to come through. Yeah, I think there's a few of those. Not hall of Famers, but hall of. I want that guy on the mound for my team or I want that guy in the field. And Springer was a dh. He, he couldn't, you know, he didn't have the mobility because he took a foul ball right off the knee. But that brings us to our first poll question. Seton. Indeed. Indeed it does, Dan. So would you rather, okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna phrase this a little more nicely. Okay. Would you rather win on a team accused of cheating or be a generational talent who never wins anything? Yes, Paul. Now, I wrote that poll and it was a little differently worded earlier. It was, would you rather have the career of Mike Trout or George Springer? Okay, I'd rather have Mike Trout's career because he's one of the great players of all time. I mean, Springer, right place, right time and performed and yes, that's a big stage. I was watching Cam Newton or a clip of Cam Newton saying that he wouldn't give back his MVP that he won to win the super bowl because he said winning an mvp, I take care of my family. Now, I'm paraphrasing here. You know, the super bowl, that's different. I was the MVP of the NFL. Now, I think if it was just a one off and I'm, I'm Cam or I'm Matt Ryan, I'd rather win the Super Bowl. Because you still get the benefits that go along with this because you're really good quarterbacks and you get paid. But Cam said he'd rather have the mvp. If I asked George Springer, would you rather have your career, Mike Trout's career, do you think George Springer is going to say, I'll take mine? Hell yeah. All right. Most people would say they'd rather have their career, you know, than. Even though you have, you're attached to the Astros. So you, you, you have to factor that in. It's in the first paragraph of your bio. You have to have that, you got to take that with you in the first paragraph. It's potentially two time World Series champion, two time mvp, perhaps in those. Yeah, one of them is the Astros. Yes, yes, yes, Todd. But the top of the other bio is one of the all time greats that didn't do a thing and has. No, I don't think it's bio. They would write it a little differently, but it's basically, here's a list of the great players that have no titles and did relatively nothing in the postseason. Yeah. I think they might soften it a little bit, you know, with his hall of Fame plaque. Yes. Paul Trout versus Springer is our baseball version of Calvin Johnson versus Julian Edelman. It's close. It's apples and oranges, but it's the baseball version of that discussion. Yeah, I'm going. Springer. Including the cheating allegations. Yeah. With Edelman. Yeah. Well. And he. And him. He got caught. Oh, yeah. Steroids. Oh, yeah. I think I said I'd take Edelman, so maybe I'm not following my own lead of. You want to win? You want to win. Yes. Right. There's, like, a certain part of this is, say, cheating or underachieving. Another part of it is being dominant or being a winner. You know, I. For some reason, it feels weird to say this, but winning is being underrated right now. Winning is pretty great. Yes. Paul. And Springer's not a niche player. A guy who tagged along for a World Series. He was directly responsible for 14 All Star appearances. Is really good. He got a lot of his career and made a lot of Dough. He hit five home runs back in 2017 to be the World Series MVP. What other poll questions? I like that one. So we're banging the drum for Springer. Oh, wow. That's not. That's. All right. Let's let bygones be bygones. I was like, eight years ago. Moving on. Live in the presence. Yeah. Dodgers have moved on from it. No, they haven't. No, they haven't. So. Well, we're gonna put up there probably both versions of that. Would you rather have the career of George Springer or Mike Trout? We would also put a win on a team of accused cheating or be a generational talent who never wins anything. We're gonna put up there. Are you rooting for the Blue Jays or the Dodgers? I expect heavy Dodgers on that, but maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, no, it's gonna be Dodgers. We're on in Toronto. But we're Morning drive in Los Angeles. Yes, Todd, but nationwide, don't more people. More people want to see the Blue. The Dodgers already won. They spent all that money and the whole buying titles thing, and it's not fair. And deferring Ohtani's money. He's only making 2 million. He gets the other 68 million down there. I think people would like to see the Blue Jays national standard. Dodger fatigue? Is that what you're saying? I'm saying. Yeah, I'm saying Dodger fatigue. I think if Seattle was in there, then you Would get a lot of people rooting for Seattle. Yeah. See? Yeah, dude. People hate the Dodgers enough to vote against them in the poll question. I don't know if they do. Maybe I'm underrating Dodgers fatigue, though. And maybe you get the casual baseball fan who wants to see Ohtani be great, but don't want to see the Dodgers win another World Series. But it's kind of hard to do that since he pitches any hits. Don't you want to see Otani against Vlad Guerrero and. And throw in George Springer as well? Maybe in a deciding game? That would be good. That'd be fun. All right, what else do we have? Let's see. We have. Which is. This one's from Todd. Which is worse, early overseas NFL games or Monday night double headers? I think there's an argument to be made for both of those things. Okay. Really don't like the double header thing. I like to concentrate on one game. I know some will be. But what if it's 20 to 3 in the middle of the second quarter or whatever? I don't. 2. We don't need two games. The overseas one has always bothered me. It just never feels real. It always feels like that's like a preseason game, you know, you kind of watch it. And games usually not very good. It's always raining or it's damp. They sent like the practice squads out there, like. Yeah. You guys play this one? Yeah. We didn't send everybody over there to London. Yeah. Yeah. Pauling. I don't think I need a double header on Monday nights this often. I think they do it usually the first week of the season. Couple past couple years. It's way too often that I've got a lot of football in me. After Saturday and Sunday, I'm chock full of football. One more feature game and then ease up a couple. Yeah, but we have all these international games and you got these double headers on Monday night. That's the future, certainly the international games. But there's. I mean, there's only so much room in the NFL window here. I think that's the interesting part of all of this. Trying to cram it all in. And they really are going to test the boundaries of. Can we give you too much NFL? What else do you have there? Seaton. We have the MF or poll question. If you want to get into that right now, you can ask the question. All right. More for real in the NFC, all of these teams are 5 and 2. The 49ers, Seahawks, Rams, Buccaneers, or all 5 and 2. I like the Rams a lot. The only reason why I didn't pick him to go to the super bowl is I didn't know if Matthew Stafford would hold up. But he's been great. I mean, they didn't even have PUK and aua, but I. Yeah, and, and the Buccaneers. That's a lot of injuries. Your running back, your hall of Fame wide receiver. It takes you down a notch. The Niners and too many injuries. Too many. And, and you've lost guys for the season. Warner and Bosa. And I'm fine with Mac Jones. I don't think there's a drop off at all. And I think what he's done has been impressive or a reminder, hey, I can still play. And it goes back to getting a quarterback in the right situation with the right people and you could see exactly how good somebody is or how good they are. You know, Trey Lance was there. Trey Lance was there in San Francisco. He had this opportunity. He can't play. And you have one of the great offensive minded guys play callers and weapons and he couldn't play. Mac Jones got out of New England, finally got somebody who could actually help him become a better quarterback. And Kyle Shanahan's been able to do that. All right. Any other poll questions? Man, that's a lot today. Yeah, we got the MF or for the AFC too. These teams are not all 5 and 2, but they're still worth asking the question. You got The Patriots at 5 and 2, Steelers are 4 and 2, Colts at 6 and 1, Broncos at 5 and 2. More for real. More for real. MFer. The MFer I like. I like New England as an underdog, but I don't love them. I liked them a lot. Pittsburgh, I'm not sure. I'm just not sure. Who else is in there? Seaton? The Colts. We have the Broncos, Colts, Steelers, Patriots. I gotta stick with the Colts because I thought they were a playoff team. I didn't think they were going to be this good and dominant. I'm going to stay with them. Denver's been eking squeaking by, but that says a lot about their coach and their quarterback. They got a really good defense that didn't show up in the first three quarters but. And maybe not in the fourth quarter either. They gave up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Yes, Todd. They also got robbed in Indianapolis with the whole. Give him a 15 yards closer. And we lost in the final seconds against the Chargers. It could be six and one or seven even. Okay. All right. Or they could be, they could be Three, four. Yeah, that works that way too. Yeah. Also I want to look, I'm going to go back to the Lions, trade with Matthew Stafford and the Rams. And you know, sometimes this gets lost when you get draft picks and then you forget who a team takes with those draft picks. So you send Stafford to the Rams, they win a Super bowl and you get Jared Goff, consolation prize, and then you get. How many first round draft picks did they get, Paulie? They got two and one more other draft pick. They parlayed that draft, that trade into Jameson Williams the wide receiver, Jameer Gibbs the running back and Sam laporta the tight end. Yeah. Three of their prime players. It's a case of both teams winning. But if the Lions would win the super bowl, this is one of those all time trades. I mean, it worked, worked out for the Rams. Obviously it's still working out for them, but it certainly worked out for the Lions. As you get LaPorta, Gibbs, you know who's tough. Campbell kid out of Iowa and he's all over the place. He's not afraid to hit somebody and he's. He like they wind up and I told you the NFL is going to address this at some point where you're trying to knock the ball out. And he said, until they find me and even when they do that, I'm still going to do this. They're just winding up and trying to punch that football out and I'm waiting for the NFL to go, nope, we're not going to allow that anymore. Stop that. Yes. Paulie, you go back to that 2023 draft. I just looked it up again for the Lions. They got critiqued pretty hard. Taking Jameer Gibbs at 12 too high. Yeah. Taking a middle linebacker, Jack Campbell at 18 too high. Sam Laporta from a college that didn't score a lot of points in Iowa, too high. They got critiqued for that draft strategy. Also, when you think about culture and identity, when Dan Campbell took over in Detroit, hey, we had fun with him. He was a punchline. You know, he came in there, we're going to bite kneecaps and all of that. We're like, okay. But you realize he's a really good coach and, and that's what you're looking for. Your coach is the overseer, he's the CEO and he is responsible for your culture. And I know that's a word we throw out. It's like chemistry, you know, like, I don't know, being a leader. But he did establish something there. And there's a sense of the Lions know who they are and how they play, and we know who they are and how they play. But also, I think these guys who didn't achieve great success, sometimes they're still looking for validation. And Dan Campbell wasn't a, you know, a regular player in the NFL. He was a backup tight end. So you go into that game, I gotta prove. I gotta continue to prove. My whole life has been proving. That's why I think great players don't necessarily make great managers or great coaches because you got to be hungry. You got to be, I'm never quitting. Whereas if you're great, you're like everybody, hey, guys, you got to catch up to me. I don't think Michael Jordan would have been a good coach. He wasn't a good gm, but Phil Jackson was a role player. But also he had Michael when he had Shaq and Kobe, but he was still that underdog. And you find these coaches who weren't great, but they turned out to be great coaches. Yeah, Paulie, you can make the case. Steve Kerr's career is like that. He only started 30 games in 15 years. Now, he was really important to a couple title runs, a bunch of title runs. But he was never the star or the focal point, and he learned a lot, probably being on the bench, one of those coaches. Yeah, but it's. Once again, it's. I'm. I'm constantly being underestimated. I got to keep fighting, fighting, fighting. That's the mentality of a role player or a guy who's been traded or a guy who's been cut, a guy who's kind of marginalized. And then you see those coaches that this is how I show you how great I am. Or at least that's the presentation that you get. All right, we'll take a break. We'll get to phone calls here. Coming up, we got Kevin Harlan, who was on the call for Westwood One last night and also had the Giants Broncos game. And then he's got NBA coming up later on in the week, Reggie Miller on the call, Lakers and Golden State. He'll join us in the final hour of the program. Play of the Day next.

Whenever I got through the window, I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff. I'm Ben Westoff and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down and I tilted his head back and proceeded again mouth to mouth in cpr. At first people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt, but when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Gross Heim Was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths? Was he profoundly unlucky or was something much darker at play?

Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh my God.

Todd told me that Reggie Miller is in Oklahoma City. He will be there with Mike Tirico that he'll join us coming up final hour of the show. So OKC with the Rockets. I think the Rockets have the tallest starting lineup in basketball. Is that a good thing? I don't know, I just throwing out a stat. I don't know if it means anything but I did see that where I think they have the the tallest starting five. Yes, Marvin in basketball isn't that normally a good thing in today's NBA? But they got guys that can play. It's not like they have a bunch of stiffs. Yeah, although I remember in high school when you would see the opposing team get off the bus and there'd be like a couple of guys who were six Four, six, five, maybe six, six. And I go, man, they must be good. There's nothing worse than seeing a kid with facial hair get off the bus. You're like, we're gonna get killed. We're gonna get killed. I remember like it was yesterday, eighth grade, and this guy took a jump shot and I went, damn, he's got hair under his arm. Yes, right. Oh, my God, that kid's got hair under his arms. We're dead. We're gonna. We're in trouble. And then the next year we played against this kid. He. He was the same size. He never got bigger. Because I'm thinking, God, we're gonna get crushed. And then all of a sudden, I would see him throughout high school and be like, man, you used to be something in eighth grade, dude. But I'm the man now. Still don't have hair under my arms, but I'm the man. I'm the man. Come and guard me. Yeah. Paul, are there more great players in the NBA? Under 66 or over 6 6. I'll throw out some unders. Shea Gilgis, Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson. I definitely under six six. Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards. That's six guys that are first team in first or second team NBA. Okay, if I gave you the under six six or the over six six. The over six six guys are Giannis Jokic. How about we have an all star game where the over six six and the under six six. I love that. Pitch that to the commission. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you know, he'll say, hey, everything's on the table. Everything's on the tables and unders. Now that we're in this new betting area, Dan in Vermont. Good morning, Dan. What's on your mind today? Hey, dp. Hey, bud. First time, long time. I'm apparently a short five twelve and a half shout out to Marvin. I also have small hands. My question is, why don't we give credit to teams who make the playoffs every year? I know that you ding people for what are you going to do in the playoffs? But isn't it hard to make the playoffs? Because I know you guys will give me an example. Dan. Well, for the Lamar Jackson, for example, and the Ravens, they're their perennial playoff parents, and everybody ding them. I know he's going to win the Bing game, but when you're going against the best, it's not always easy. And I know you guys with the sports semi, you guys don't get dinged, but you're there every year. Oh, you can. Hey, Dan, you can ding Us for not winning a sports Emmy. As long as I get nominated, I'm in the game. But should we have won? Yeah. Should Lamar Jackson win a home playoff game? Yeah. That's not asking much. Should the Cowboys win a home playoff game? Yes. I'm not asking for the bottom line of winning a Super Bowl. I'm asking you to win a home playoff game. I don't think that's asking much. Yes. You made the playoffs. Okay. What's the goal? Is the goal to make the playoffs or is the goal to win in the playoffs? And we know the answer to that. So I'm not holding you to a higher standard. But at that position, you know, that's the most decorated position in all the sports, the most talked about, the most lucrative. When you win, it's forever. If Tom Brady went to all those Super Bowls but didn't have a winning record, you could probably make a case that maybe Joe Montana is still a better quarterback. But he won those. Even LeBron, he got there. And that's part. That's what it's all about. It's getting there to play for a championship. Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew, Good morning. Dan Vanett. Thanks for taking my call. What a night for Washingtonians last night. From the ups and downs of the Mariners losing in the bottom of the seventh to the George Springer Dinger and then the Seahawks winning, but really looking like they lost because of how many takeaways. I mean, how many turnovers they had. They didn't look that great. They just barely squeaked by, even though the score, the final score didn't tell the. Tell the whole story. I do have a stat of the day. I'm really looking forward to the Lakers this year. Lakers and warriors tonight, the Ladonchic Lakers. I think they have a good chance of going to the Western Conference finals, maybe making the whole NBA Finals. But my stat of the day is this. And this was very surprising. It's a numerological palindrome. Saturday day because the Seahawks have the best Monday Night Football record ever at 31 and 13 on Monday night. All right, stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. You understood The Palodrome, the 311 3, right, Todd? I love my numerology. Yeah, I know you do. I know, I know. NBA title odds, Thunder. But we've had seven different champions, I believe, in the last seven years. Then it's the Nuggets, Cavaliers, Knicks, who has better odds to win the championship. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The Rockets or the Lakers or the Timberwolves or the Warriors? Hold on. Answer after the break. Kevin Harlan will join us. He did the call last night on Westwood One. They also had that crazy game in Denver with the Giants and the Broncos and then Reggie Miller in the final hour of the program one Tuesday. We're back after this. Does anything go better than Lego and Star Wars? I don't think so. Kids will love becoming a part of the galactic action while playing out their favorite adventures like with Jango Fett Starship. I mean, this Lego set is fantastic. It features a detailed recreation of Jango Fett's starship with four stud shooters, a seismic charge dropping function and wings that rotate with gravity.
