Some of the big signings there. You know the Raiders signing their center Tyler Linderbaum for $27 million per year. That's 9 million more than the second highest paid center who is Creed Humphrey with Kansas City. I love the signing. You get an elite center and I'm going to have him in front of Fernando Mendoza helping to block for Ashton Genty as well. I think it's a very smart decision. I'd load up on offensive line early and often if I'm the Raiders. The Chiefs got Kenneth Walker Jr III. It's a three year 45 million dollar deal. And keep in mind he's played more than 12 regular season games twice in his four years. He of course the Super Bowl MVP Mike Evans going to the Niners. They're probably going to release Brandon Ayuk. You got to compete with LA and Seattle and it says 3 years 60 million. I'd be surprised at age 33 if he's able to go for 3 years. Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I told you that's where I thought he was going to go. Three years at 67 million. The surprising part of this is and I thought he would go there but then I also said if I'm the Dolphins I would just stay with Quinn Ewers and then just kind of get through this season. Malik Willis, he's not coming in to I, I don't like using the word tank but underperform. He wants to come in to prove that he is a starting quarterback in this league. But the Dolphins aren't ready to win now and that's what was surprising. Now it's not a lot of money for a starting quarterback. You know, 22 and a half million dollars. I think it's great The Dolphins head coach Jeff Halfley, he was the Packers DC last year so he saw Willis every day in practice and they bring him in. But I was wondering about the Kenneth Walker signing because the Chiefs at nine I thought maybe Jeremiah Love, if the Chiefs were lucky he would fall there. The Saints have Travis Ektn, they, they signed him. The Cardinals aren't going to go I don't think for Jordan Love at number three. So maybe the Titans at four, Giants at five are the commanders at seven. So these are the things when you look at the free agent signings what do they mean at other positions or players who are going to be drafted? And the Panthers did make the playoffs last year at 8, 9 but they went out and improved their defense. Jalen Phillips, it's a lot of money, four for 120. And Devin Lloyd, he was a second team All Pro in 2025. So those are just some of the moves that happen and how they're going to impact teams with drafting, how they're going to impact other free agents there. But Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs that's, that's good money that they paid. And Albert Brea, the Monday morning quarterback will join us next hour. We'll talk about college basketball. Those who punched their tickets last night, the drama that is Magic City with the NBA have that for you as well. Seaton, what's the poll question for the first hour of this program?

Seaton (6:48)

First our poll question is from Paul. Who had the best day yesterday? Malik Willis, Tua, Fernando Mendoza, maybe Mike Evans even. There's a lot of people that changed destinations that may be upgraded. We can populate this poll question if you'd like. Who I'm not surprised had the best day yesterday.

Dan Patrick (7:12)

I'm not surprised Tua ended up in Atlanta. I thought if you're going to build your offense around a left handed quarterback bringing Tua in, he doesn't cost you anything. I don't think either of these quarterbacks is the future a solution but it doesn't cost anything. If I can bring Tua in. I don't know If Michael Pennix Jr. III is going to be ready to start the season coming off an injury and you bring in Tua maybe. I mean you got weapons there and you know he doesn't have the strongest of arms but he can move it around a little bit there. You got a great running back bringing Pittsback so maybe you got an offensive minded head coach but I'm okay with this. Yeah Paul, you can make the case

Paul Pabst (7:55)

that to his career is in better shape. Now than it was a week ago. He gets all his money, he's on a better roster, a better defense, a winnable division. Much more winnable division compared to what he was in.

Dan Patrick (8:08)

Yeah, yeah. I don't think there was any real downside. Just like the Vikings bringing in Kyler Murray, I think that's where he's gone. I said that from the beginning. That would be the place. And I think with Kevin o' Connell with some offensive weapons there, he's indoors, on turf. I like that as well. But Trey Hendrickson is kind of in no man's land. You know, he missed out on that big contract. He got the one year franchise contract or offer from the Bengals and now he's out looking for work and at his age, he's not going to get that big contract. You know, might get front loaded, maybe get some, you know, decent guaranteed money, but he missed out on his window. Yeah.

Seaton (8:48)

Seaton, it does seem like with the like salary cap bump that happened this year, players are getting paid. Yeah, maybe more so than. It's, it's a little bit here and there, but you know, I mean that McDuffie deal is huge. Even Laramie Tunsil got two years 60. That's, that's damn good money. There's a whole bunch of guys, you know that. The alec Pierce money, four years, 114 million. That's.

Dan Patrick (9:18)

Alec Pierce was a kid out of Cincinnati and I remember watching one of their games, I'm like, that dude gets behind the defense and that's what he does. He gets behind the defense. He's not a guy that's going to have 80 catches. He's going to get 40 and then he'll turn 40 into 10 touchdowns. He averages about 22 yards per reception, but he got $29 million. Now I go, wow, that's a lot of money for a guy who's not even your number one option. But 29 million per season, so that's 1 million less than Aman Ross St. Brown. That's $4 million more than Devonte Smith. That's 5 million more than Nico Collins. Wow. For a guy who, well, hopefully he can develop into a 80 catch guy, but he does make you pay with the 40 plus catches. Yes. Paul.

Stugots (10:13)

Yeah.

Paul Pabst (10:13)

Alec Pierce last year only 47 catches, a thousand yards, 21 yards a catch. The year before, 22 yards of catch. That's like old AFL days numbers.

Dan Patrick (10:24)

Yeah. You don't get too many of those guys that are like, he just does one thing, he beats you deep. But they, the Colts, Michael Pittman Jr. III goes to Pittsburgh. But Alec Pierce, your go to guy for the Colts staying home. Yes. Todd, you're the owner of an average team or a below average team that didn't do much. And I know it's been only that first day yesterday. What does the owner want to say to the general manager or coaching staff is like, you know, what are we doing here? We have a couple more days. But you miss out on the big ticket items. And I go back to Jerry Jones. He was all in and then he was going to bust the budget. I think this year, like he comes up with slogans. It just he doesn't really do anything. I mean, Rashawn Gary, nice player. You know, he's a kind of a plug and play, you know, kind of let's stop the run game, I guess. Just like Kenny Clark. So they got another Kenny Clark from the Green Bay Packers. But I keep waiting for doubt. I mean, the only move in the off season was Dak Prescott not getting married. And if I'm a Cowboy fan, not getting. No, no.

Paul Pabst (11:32)

What do you mean? He was engaged, right? I honestly don't know about this.

Dan Patrick (11:36)

They were at the bachelorette and bachelor parties and then after that decided they weren't going to get married.

Paul Pabst (11:43)

Is he a restricted free agent right now?

Dan Patrick (11:45)

I think he's unrestricted. Oh, yeah, Seaton, lots of people saying

Seaton (11:50)

he got too close to a ring and had to.

Dan Patrick (11:52)

Yes, that's true. He had to back away. Yeah, I got it a little too

Seaton (11:55)

close to a ring.

Dan Patrick (11:56)

Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. David in Ohio. Hi, David.

Caller (12:02)

Yeah, Seaton just stole my thunder there. But yeah, free agency news. Zach Prescott falling off the wedding for I don't know what happened there. And like Seaton said, it's not like the Cowboys to, you know, choke a month before getting the ring. So.

Dan Patrick (12:20)

Thank you. All right, Dave, I know we had a cowboy joke in there somewhere. All right. 8773 DP show we'll come up with a poll question. Watching basketball, I did watch the World Baseball Classic with Team usa. Paul Skeens looked like he was in mid season form there last night. Sometimes there's certain pitchers where you go, it's not fair. Randy Johnson, when he would get on the mound and I would say, boy, it's not fair. Especially if you're a left handed batter with schemes. It doesn't matter. He was bringing cheese there. It was fun to watch. And then I'm watching OKC and the Denver Nuggets and it's back and forth. Joker's playing great SGA's playing great game on the line. And SGA has the ball. And as I yell out loudly to wake up my dog next to me, double him. Double team. Oh my God. Step back. Three. Boom. And I go. Oh my goodness. He's the only guy in the building who's going to take the shot. OKC didn't have their full starting lineup. And give credit to SGA. He was great. Great. You look at the numbers here, 35. He scored at least 20 points in 126 consecutive games. So he. He's tied with Wilt Chamberlain for the longest such streak in NBA history. He also had 15 assists. He also didn't commit a turnover. And over the last five years, SGA has made eight go ahead baskets in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. Three more than any other player. Of the day. Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. And this isn't like you have to have your Heisman moment, but this could be your MVP moment because if you didn't stay up and watch it but national TV, you'll see it on SportsCenter and you're going to see him hit a big shot against their rival and the guy who is up there for MVP as well in Joker. But sga, methodical and I know people can. Now they're starting to go, well, you know, he kind of gets a lot of call fouls called and he kind of initiates contact. And you know, we went through this with James Harden. He's a great player. He's a great player and game on the line. He's done everything that you want. He plays hard and probably going to be the MVP. Now I thought he was going to win the MVP even before this just because OKC has played well. Although they did taper off a little bit, I think we thought they're on a record breaking pace. So he'll be the mvp. Joker to me, still the best player. I think Jalen Brown might be the most valuable player just because what he did in a year that we thought was maybe a throwaway year for the Celtics, kept them in the thick of things and now Tatum is back and they might be the team to beat in the east. But you're watching and you're going, what is your defensive philosophy? If you're going to play man on man against SGA and you're going to leave some poor kid on an island with the best player. Mvp. And they paid for it. Paid for it. Yes. Marvin, when. When I saw that play, all I

Sports Announcer (15:48)

could think about was you and how angry you were.

Dan Patrick (15:50)

Like two people on him.

Sports Announcer (15:53)

If Lou Dort hits the shot or one of the Jalen Williams is hits the shot, all right, but not him. It cannot be every single time you

Dan Patrick (16:01)

know the team's best player hits a

Sports Announcer (16:03)

game winner, I just see you come in the next day.

Dan Patrick (16:05)

No, Marvin, I can, I can never, ever let the best player on the floor beat me. And yes, they did force him to take a three, but it was a step back jumper and I got to take the ball out of his hands. It's as simple as that. Somebody else beats me good, I'm fine with that. I got to take the ball out of his hands and there is another defender right there at the top of the key who could have come over, make him pick up his dribble, make him pass it and maybe you get somebody who is not ready to take that big shot. Like what is the downside to that? We're going to double sga if he makes a shot when he's double teamed, hey, he earned it. We deserve to lose. But in that moment, I can't let him take that shot. Alrighty, we'll come up with a poll question. Phone calls coming up. A couple of schools punched their tickets last night, a whole lot more to get to. And Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback will join us in an hour from now. We'll kind of recap what happened yesterday and what he sees happening today and tomorrow in free agency and also how this is going to affect the draft as well. We'll take a break. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Dan Patrick (21:31)

Phone calls Coming up Play of the Day Albert Breer is going to join us in an hour from now. He sent out a tweet, and I don't know if he's being sarcastic, but he said if your team didn't sign anyone within five hours of the start of free agency, your GM is asleep at the switch, your coach is neglecting his roster, and your owner is cheap and any shot you had at a championship is over and done with. I think he's being sarcastic there because we do want our teams to do something right away. Big splash there. Who did we get? You know, I look at Denver, they didn't do anything. Just resigned everybody. Arizona kind of did some things. And then you're looking at the Raiders, and you might not know any of these players, but they did spend over $250 million yesterday. Sometimes you get those players that build your team so your stars can shine. And I think what the Raiders did, I give them credit for attempting to rebuild that roster or build that roster. But I gotta ask Albert if he's being sarcastic here. I think he is, yes. Seaton.

Seaton (22:39)

Yeah, it sort of like feels like an amalgamation of like every common fan response when your team doesn't do anything. It's like one of those things.

Paul Pabst (22:48)

Yeah, Paulie, but when I read it yesterday, I thought he was being serious. At the end. He says any shot to win a championship is over and done with. Like, but the rest of it, I kind of agreed with that. If you're not ready to go and sign someone early, are you behind?

Dan Patrick (23:04)

I get the feeling, yes. Unless, you know, you know, we're not going to overspend or we're not going to spend just to spend like The Cowboys, I keep waiting. Jerry says last year, all in this year they were going to bust the budget. I've yet to see that. Now that doesn't mean you have to be foolish. But Rashawn Gary, that's not exactly busting the budget or you're all in with that kind of signing. But I look at the Cardinals, Tyler Algier, defensive lineman Roy Lopez, the wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, and quarterback Gardner Minshew. Okay, all right. I mean, I don't know what you're going to do with that early first round pick, but probably going to be a defensive player. But that goes back to what I've said. You know, the Chiefs have their running back down. I think people thought maybe Jeremiah Love could fall to number nine or the Saints. Well, they brought in Travis Etienne. So you have some of these teams there that are taking running backs. Now do the Giants go in? Do the Titans go in? I could see the Titans taking him, but it's high to take, you know, a player like that at that position. But there's nobody like him. He's one of those guys. He's Bijan Robinson. He, he has that capability of being able to beat you a pass reception, a kick return or run. And I could see he's a weapon. And there aren't many guys like that who put pressure on the defense in this year's draft. Yeah, Paulie, weren't you guys a little

Paul Pabst (24:40)

bit surprised with Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs? Not that he's not great, but he's max expensive for a running back. In the past few years they used Isaiah Pacheco on a rookie deal, seventh round. And Kareem Hunt, who is making decent money but not high end money and they patchworked it together. This is a different direction for them.

Dan Patrick (24:59)

Well, and Albert Breer says that he's a good pat. He's a three down running back. I don't think he is. And I'm going to go because I'm quoting Chris Collinsworth in the super bowl where he talked about Kenneth Walker is not a great pass receiver, pass catcher. He's a great running back. But if I'm playing with Patrick Mahomes, I gotta be able to catch some passes here. I would think at some point here Travis Kelsey is coming back. I was surprised at this decent money coming back one more year, I guess. You know, there were reports that his agent was looking at a couple other potential landing spots here. And the only reason why I thought that was interesting is if it's true that Mahomes is not Going to be ready at the start of the season. Knowing Mahomes, I expect him to be there week one, but if he was looking at other places, was he looking at a place that maybe you could kind of slip in, be in the postseason, maybe win another championship? That was the only thing I thought, if it's a one year deal. But are you going to be able to get Patrick Mahomes? Is he going to be Patrick Mahomes Week 1 Coming off the injury? Yeah.

Paul Pabst (26:15)

Paul, I saw a couple media critics yesterday saying Travis Kelsey may have lost money yesterday by not going all into a media career, that he could have made more than 12 million instantly on the free agent market with the media.

Dan Patrick (26:28)

Oh, I agree with that. But he wants to play, you know, then it's over. Once you go in, then it's over. Yeah. And I think these guys at that age, it's hard to say my. I've worked all of my life, 3/4 of my life, I've played football. And you all of a sudden go, yep, I'll just go into the media. We've seen a lot of guys go into the media and they're like, wait, is that all there is? You know, it's a sterile environment there, unless you're doing games. And most of the guys who are making the money are the guys who are in the studio, aside from Tom Brady, you know, Tony Romo, Chris Collinsworth and Troy. You got all these studio guys, you know that certainly Fox that they make a lot of money there. But trying to replicate that feeling. Give I give Kelsey credit. You know, if you're ready to go, you got one more year, go get him. He's going to have a broadcasting career after this. He's got the podcast that's worth a hundred million dollars. And as long as he's still attached to Taylor Swift, people are still going to want to listen to that podcast. If somehow they break up, I would say that podcast will lose considerable amount of value. Yes. Paul.

Paul Pabst (27:39)

It's interesting though. His brother Jason Kelsey, same age, decided to retire after being first team all pro. He passed up another year making about 15, 16 million and took the media job. When it was hot, he went the other direction.

Dan Patrick (27:54)

Yeah, yeah. But I think at his position, you know, probably, you know, looking at the lifespan of an offensive lineman as opposed to a tight end there, and Kelsey with that team, with that quarterback, it'd be hard to walk away if I know that Patrick Mahomes is still going to be my quarterback. Yeah, see, and the level of glory

Seaton (28:14)

you get between The Kelsey brothers positions is a drastic difference.

Dan Patrick (28:19)

Drastic difference. Yes. Yeah. People are like, Kelsey played on the offensive line. I don't know what position.

Seaton (28:28)

And center Jason Kelsey's best play is probably the worst thing in the world for him too. And it's like, oh, they're gonna do it. He's like, oh, great, I gotta do this again.

Dan Patrick (28:38)

Here comes that damn tush push. Yes. Paul.

Paul Pabst (28:42)

I disagree with the first part and totally agree with the second part. He may be the most publicized focal point center in the history, the recent history of the sport. The tush push play was a partnership and he was the face.

Dan Patrick (28:53)

Wait, wait, wait. It's not a long list of great centers who have a lot of attention.

Paul Pabst (28:57)

Exactly my point. He's probably the most famous center of all time. And his last couple years, his play was one of the most discussed plays. But like Seaton also said, it's a painful play to have to do another season for

Dan Patrick (29:12)

Kelsey. Gives him one more year. Good. You know, it's good to have him back in. Round of applause for Travis Kelsey.

Paul Pabst (29:20)

Caught a break.

Dan Patrick (29:21)

Yeah. Something went his way. Very happy. Dave in Nova Scotia. Good morning, Dave. What's on your mind today?

Sports Announcer (29:31)

Nick?

Caller (29:31)

Just wanted to. Just wanted to vent a little bit. The Bucks fans are wearing all black today. Obviously with the loss of Mike Evans and you know, from. From the crew nation here, it seems that ever since hashtag Tommy walked out the door, the Bucs continue to revert back to their old pre Brady ways.

Dan Patrick (29:56)

Right.

Caller (29:57)

They continue to push all of their chips into Todd Bowles. They lose a diamond in the rough offensive coordinator and Liam Cohen. They let Mike Evans walk out the door this offseason when 12 months ago he was all about staying with the Bucs. I get that they've got, you know, packed wide receiver room, but just continuing to bet on Todd Bowles after a collapse last year when, you know, the team was looking pretty good at the beginning of the season is extremely frustrating and starting to question the front office and the Glazers with some of their moves around free agency and the.

Dan Patrick (30:34)

Yeah, I get it, but I don't want Mike Evans three years, but 49ers were willing to give that to him if that's what it really is. You know, sometimes a three year deal is not a three year deal, but you're getting a future hall of famer and a big body there. And if you're going to lose Brandon Iuk, I mean, they, they need to have a go to guy. You know, George Kittle has been that guy. But you know, once again, these guys battling injuries here and you're in a very tough division, but getting Mike Evans and you know, everybody was making moves. Although Seattle losing Kenneth Walker, you know, they, they keep Shaheed, but they, they had to spend to keep him. And that's, you know, it's an interesting division. It's like the battle within the war of the NFL and that is in your own division. And Seattle's now got to step up a little bit here because we know the Rams have and the 49ers as well. Let's see. Brian in South Carolina. Hi, Brian. What's on your mind? What's up? Dan?

Caller (31:39)

A few times a long time I was just thinking, like, if the Browns really want to retool everything, I mean, why don't they go ahead and bring Trey Hendrickson and if Jerry wants to go all in like he says, maybe they can work out some sort of trade with the Cowboys and retool their lineup. They got one year, that Albatross left at quarterback. And then, you know, I don't know what would happen. I don't know if they, if that's even a thing to do. I'm just footballing here.

Dan Patrick (32:05)

And yeah, I haven't seen any great grand plan with the Cowboys. Not that they would reveal that, but I mean, the window. You're spending $60 million on your quarterback, you're going to get Pickens franchise tag, and he's not going to like that. And that might lead to a holdout. It's still, they're still interesting, but, you know, you gotta be dangerous. They're interesting. They're not dangerous. And that's why I'm always surprised. I. And, and look, I haven't given Jerry the credit that he deserves. Not that he's waiting for it. I think they've made some really smart moves. Now, they had made some really questionable, stupid moves before, but I think that they've done a decent job. But you can't just do a decent job if you're going to try to compete for a championship. And when he tells us, when he comes out with these slogans, you're like, okay, what are you doing? How about you don't say anything? How about you surprise us when you do something? Instead of here comes, we're going to bust the budget. And you're like, what'd you do? We got wait for this. Wait for this. Rashawn Gary. Okay, what else? What else? Do we wait for it? Wait for it. Yes. Marvin.

Sports Announcer (33:30)

I'm sorry, D.P. did you say Jerry Jones and not say anything in the same sentence.

Dan Patrick (33:34)

I know, I know, I know, I know. We're all in.

Paul Pabst (33:38)

But it's such a dumb topic, the all in topic. As if Jerry Jones can spend as much as he wants. There's a hard salary cap. This isn't the Mets owner or the Golden State warriors on it. There's no way to spend more or outspend people in the sport.

Dan Patrick (33:52)

But then don't tell me. Right.

Paul Pabst (33:54)

You're right. There is no.

Dan Patrick (33:55)

Don't say anything like, I'm okay if they didn't do anything, but don't tell me you're going to do something and then you really don't do anything. You know, the Chargers I want to keep an eye on because somebody's going to get A.J. brown. I think A.J. brown is going to leave the Eagles. Now, the question is the Patriots, the Chargers might be in there. The 49ers, I think were in there. But then they just got Mike Evans. But I mean, you got Harbaugh, and then you bring in Mike McDaniels, the new offensive coordinator. And if you can get A.J. brown, boy, that'd be a big, big boost to Justin Herbert if they got something like that. But it's going to cost you. I think if the Patriots or their offer was true, that it's. Is it going to be a first and a second and a player? It's a lot. AJ Brown, I think, is 28 or 29, but to get him, they could certainly use one of those. This guy is a, you know, he's a difference maker, and they haven't really had that. But you get your tackles back. Herbert, Harbaugh, McDaniels calling plays, you know, and you're in a very competitive division. That's another thing when you. I mean, the Raiders aren't going to be terrible forever. Least.

Paul Pabst (35:20)

Sorry.

Dan Patrick (35:22)

They won't be like they. They have to be better. And so if I'm in that division, they're young and I want to make sure that I keep up with him. It's just like whatever the Chiefs do, you know, they're an older team. If you look quarterback, tight end, you know, some of the players there, you got to make sure that you keep up with these younger, you know, because Denver's young and Chargers with, you know, certainly with the quarterbacking situation here. Yeah. Paulie.

Paul Pabst (35:49)

The Raiders have made the postseason twice since 2002. 2002. So you're. You said forever, so you can't ding you there.

Dan Patrick (35:58)

Yeah, forever. Forever. Ryan in Detroit. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind?

Caller (36:06)

Hey, Dan, thanks for calling me again.

Dan Patrick (36:08)

Yeah, Ryan.

Caller (36:10)

First off, sock, shoe, sock, shoe. And then it just seems like this year's free agency is way crazier than previous years. I don't know if that's because the cap went up or there's just more coverage. I don't know.

Dan Patrick (36:26)

Is there a.

Caller (36:27)

Is there something that's kind of a common thread there for it being so nuts this year?

Dan Patrick (36:33)

Well, I don't know if people are. Teams are looking for solutions in the draft and certainly not having that with quarterbacks. Now all of a sudden, these quarterbacks take on a different life. So Kyler's now more important to them. May start the year for Atlanta. Malik Willis going to start for the Dolphins. You're getting guys right now because the draft isn't very good. I love what the Raiders did, getting, you know, their center. I mean, that's a great player. I know it's not a great price, but still I would overpay for my center. There's certain positions where I'd go, I'd overpay for that. And I remember, you know, there's certain drafts where you go. And I remember when Tyler was drafted, I said, you know, that's one of those guys where somebody goes, I got a center. But I go, that's the kind of guy who plays 10 years and plays at a high level. But we, everybody wants that. You know, who's our wide receiver, our running back, who's our quarterback, who's our edge rusher? We got a center. Well, we'll see how that plays out here for Fernando Mendoza. He'll. He'll be thrilled that he gets somebody that quality. Let me see. Russell in Philly. Hi, Russ.

Caller (37:51)

Hey, what's up, Dan? What's up, Dan? X1 210 Member of the DVC club, unfortunately since 2013. Huge Eagles fan. So I'm hoping we can hold on to AJ but it's so much noise around him that I know he has to. Ago I was seeing things that talk about him going to the Charges or the Bills. I just don't want them to go to the Patriots, man. What's your guys thoughts? I sit back. I'll hang up and listen.

Dan Patrick (38:21)

Yeah, I think we thought because of the relationship that you have with Mike Brable and A.J. brown, a personal relationship, that it made sense. They certainly need A.J. brown. And with Bourne now leaving now, you've got to get somebody who can be a playmaker, somebody who can keep the defense honest. They got good running backs. They're bolstering their offensive line again. And if you're going to invest in Drake May and give him a, you know, $290 million contract here next year, go out and get somebody like this and maybe you have to overpay a little bit here. All right, we'll take a break. When we come back after yesterday's free agency, what kind of movement did we have on the Super Bowl? Odds? You might be surprised at a couple of teams. Up next, our Play of the Day.

Oh my God.

Dan Patrick (42:56)

The play of the Day. This is the play of the day. Check this out. SGA with five SGA step back three. He's got it 2.7 left OKC by three Gordon the he no. And on a night that he ties Will Chamberlain, HCA's greatest hit star continues. OKC wins courtesy of Peacock SGA 35 points. He also had 15 assists. He also didn't commit a turnover. That's your play of the day. Play of the Day brought to you by. The folks have been doing it for 40 years. Now it's tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. You find the right tires for how and what and where you drive ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. I already know what the result's going to be, and I'm still yelling at the tv. When SGA has the ball, it's like, double him. Take the ball out of his hands. Yeah. Seaton.

Seaton (44:09)

At what point does the league. I'm not saying it was necessarily that shot, but at what point does the league start to push back on perhaps a storyline of SGA pushing off a little too much?

Dan Patrick (44:22)

No, I think it's a big deal. I really do.

Seaton (44:25)

It's. Man, is it just. It's as egregious as anything else I've ever seen in basketball.

Dan Patrick (44:32)

Yeah. Well, you saw this with Harden. Trey Young got away with some cheap fouls, but I give them credit that, you know, they're. Until they call it, then keep doing it. But sga, and then you build up that reputation of being a great player. Then now it's kind of hard that now we're going to go back and police him. It's like with James Harden, it's like, well, wait a minute here. Well, but you've allowed him to do it for a long time. So that would be my biggest concern with this is SGA has been doing it and doing it right in front of the officials, and sometimes it's, well, that's sga. Well, he had to become sga. He didn't walk in and become sga. Nobody knew who he was. But he's developed into the best player or the most valuable player in the game. Yeah. See, it's just weird.

Seaton (45:21)

Like, people are like, yeah. His ability to create space for himself is really just unparalleled. Yeah. Because he's putting his shoulder into somebody and then fully extending his arm, pushing them away. That's how he does it.

Dan Patrick (45:31)

But I go back to Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway had this ability to create separation with a forearm, and he would get you just on, you know, on your heels a little bit. And he is. You know, he'd have that crossover. All you're looking for is just a. Like a split second, like a moment. And these guys are so good at taking advantage of that. Jordan impioria. And then Paulie wants to play the SGA stat line quiz.

Paul Pabst (46:01)

Oh, it's fun.

Dan Patrick (46:02)

Okay, hold on. Let me. Let me get to Jordan and Peoria.

Caller (46:06)

Oh, man, I can't wait for that game, too. Dan. Hey, I was catching. I was catching up on the show last week, and there was some great sports radio conversation going on with Larry Bird playing in today's modern NBA and it kind of got Me thinking you've seen the NBA of all from the physical, you know, 80s and 90s to today's space and pace game. And I wanted to know like, was there a specific eye test moment for you where you're like, okay, collectively, this sport is different now. Thanks.

Dan Patrick (46:31)

Well, you know, it was rough and tumble with the Lakers and the Celtics, but keep in mind when those teams played against each other, they both ran the fast break. It wasn't showtime against the Celtics plotting big men. Bird would be out on the break. I mean that it was up and down. Now was it physical? Yes. But I think the game changed probably with the Cavaliers in, the knicks in the 90s. And it was just bad basketball. It was almost like first team to get to 90 points is going to win. And it was really physical. And that's when I don't understand that if I'm the commissioner, I want to try to get allow people to see my best players be at their best. Same thing with hockey. You know, the Devils created this like shell defense and you didn't get to showcase your best players. Now they've since opened it up. Sometimes they'll open it up too much. But with the NBA, Bird and Magic, those two teams, both teams full of hall of famers and they were going up and down the floor. Not everybody had those players obviously or any anything close to it. So they tried to play a different way. The Pistons were going to rough you up, but I would say, you know, Jordan survived that. And then he, you know, he brought in. It felt like he ushered in a new NBA. But he had to survive getting beat up. He had to survive losing to the Celtics, survive losing to the Pistons. And then once he got there, he was not going to lose to anybody. But you got to see greatness, you got to see more free flowing. And you know, they took away the hand check. Isn't that amazing? You could put your hand on a guy and before you say, well, it's not a big deal, have one of these guys, a professional basketball player, put his hand on your hip and then you tell me how much maneuverability you have. It's like holding you there, but they allowed you to do that. All right, Paulie, the much anticipated long awaited SGA statline quiz.

Paul Pabst (48:38)

Working on this one for weeks. SGA last night, 35 points, 15 assists, 0 turnovers. As you said, I thought that was pretty shocking. Zero turnovers. I asked our stat guy how many times that's happened in NBA history. Besides him, who wants to guess?

Dan Patrick (48:56)

So you have 35, 15 no turnovers.

Paul Pabst (48:59)

Yep. In NBA history.

Dan Patrick (49:00)

Okay. How many guys have done that? Okay, let me see.

Paul Pabst (49:12)

My guess was zero.

Dan Patrick (49:14)

One.

Seaton (49:14)

Zero as well.

Dan Patrick (49:15)

I'm gonna say one.

Paul Pabst (49:16)

Other than sj. You're right. It's one. Who did it? It was eight years ago.

Dan Patrick (49:29)

Feels like it's an obvious guess. Yes. LeBron.

Paul Pabst (49:32)

LeBron James did it. 2018.

Dan Patrick (49:37)

Thank you. Wait, are you applauding for LeBron or me? Both.

Sports Announcer (49:40)

Both.

Dan Patrick (49:41)

Okay. Thank you.

Paul Pabst (49:41)

The team effort.

Seaton (49:42)

Let's just applaud, you know.

Dan Patrick (49:45)

Yeah. Come on, Todd. How about we just. All right. Come on now.

Sports Announcer (49:50)

Negative Nancy.

Webull Advertiser (49:51)

My goodness.

Dan Patrick (49:53)

Debbie Downer. I was gonna guess like eight. That was way off the mark. You were gonna say 11. 11. Yeah. Seaton. Would you update the poll results from the first hour of this award nominated program, Dan?

Seaton (50:05)

I would be glad to do that one up there from Paul Pabst executive producer Dan Patrick. Show who had the best day yesterday? Malik Willis. Tua Tug of Iloa or Fernando Mendoza? Malik Willis right now has 46% of the vote. Guess who has 43? Fernando Mendoza. How about that?

Dan Patrick (50:26)

Great day. All right, Tua. I guess he had an okay day. Well, he found a team that they. It'll be hard to tell the difference between the two quarterbacks. Whoever's starting for the Falcons is like that. Pennix or is that Tua? Malik Willis. He didn't get paid as much as I thought. I think we. I remember Paulie and I, we'd throw out three years, 100 million, you know, as if it's not our money. Three years, 100 million and all of a sudden he's making 22 and a half million. If he turns out to be a good quarterback, it's a great start, at least for the Dolphins. Albert Brear will join us next hour. T mobile has the best plan on the best network.

Chelsea Handler (52:40)

This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea, after the Big Game. Like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials, and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. And it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the Big Game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
