Former Heisman winner Robert Griffin Jr. III. He can react to the latest news. The Minnesota Vikings are not pursuing Aaron Rodgers. It's official there are two reports the Vikings are not pursuing Aaron Rodgers. I don't know if the Steelers still are. I don't know if the Giants are. I don't know if Rogers is pursuing the Giants. Is he pursuing the Steelers? We tried to kick the tires on this Viking situation, and I wondered. I was skeptical, but I thought, okay, if the Vikings are interested in him and J.J. mcCarthy's not ready to play, okay, then I would take it. I would take a chance on Aaron Rodgers for one year. J.J. mcCarthy is your future. You traded up to get him at number 10 in the draft last year, but I just didn't know. It felt like maybe Rogers was interested. I just didn't know if it was reciprocated. And maybe internally the Vikings were saying, hey, what, what about this? What do you think? Maybe you talk to J.J. mcCarthy, maybe you get an update on his recovery time and then you finally come to the realization we're good. Now. I do think they made a mistake in letting Daniel Jones go because I'd like to have a little bit of experience there as a backup. Sam Darnold was going to cost you more. I got that. But Daniel Jones, I think you could have kept him there and he would have been maybe okay as a backup. But you're, you're getting somebody who is going to be basically a rookie in playing but coming off knee surgery and there's going to be an adjustment period. This is a team that was a playoff team, had aspirations of going to the Super Bowl. But now if you're Aaron Rodgers, does Aaron Rodgers want to stay in New York? If you wanted to go to the Steelers, you probably would have gone to the Steelers. I Don't know if that's a great fit. It's just because it's, you know, if he goes into Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh is the star. He went to the jets and they're like, what do you want? Do whatever you want. You want to change the colors? I don't care. They were desperate. The Steelers aren't desperate. But it feels like you go in there, that's Mike Tomlin you're dealing with. You're dealing with T.J. watt, Minka, Fitzpatrick. Cam Hayward had something to say. He's the Steeler defensive lineman on the Not Just Football podcast. On. What would your recruiting pitch be to Aaron Rogers to join the Steelers? I ain't doing that darkness darkness treat retreat. I don't mean any of that crap. Like either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don't. That's. That's simple. That's the pitch. If you want me to recruit. That's the recruiting pitch. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want to be part of it, so be. If you don't. No. No skin on my back. Exactly. That's what I've been saying. You're the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't lower yourself. Oh, Aaron, could you please come here? Move on. You should have kept Justin Fields. At least that gave you a bridge quarterback for the next two years. Maybe he develops into something now what do you have? Mason Rudolph. Okay. Are you going to bring Russ back? If it's true that Russ and Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator, didn't get along at the end of the season, or maybe you didn't see eye to eye, but you're the Steelers. Now I get it. The Giants, they are going to have to beg to get Aaron Rodgers. The Giants. Who would have thought? One of the blue bloods. And you're waiting to find out, would Aaron Rodgers please come and play for our team? Feels like the Giants are taking Shador Sanders. I don't have any information on that other than it feels like Shador has thought all along that's where he was going. Now can you bring in somebody? Do you bring in Aaron Rodgers and let Shador Sanders sit? A year maybe, but the once proud New York Football Giants, they're waiting for Aaron Rodgers. And if you're the Steelers, move on. No move on. You might not have somebody as good as Aaron Rodgers or the ceiling might not be as high, but move on. You're the Steelers. You don't do this, please. And then Russell Wilson. I still think Kirk Cousins plays a role in this somewhere at some point, somehow. Now the Falcons you know, they have him, they're paying him, they want him to be their backup. And it feels like every team needs a, you know, a good backup. If you're going to be a playoff team, you got to have a good backup. Chances are your quarterback's going to get dinged up a little bit at some point, somewhere down the line. Michael Penix Jr. III has been banged up in his career, early in his career when he was at Indiana. So the quarterbacking carousel, I don't know if it's stopped or stalled, but it doesn't seem like it's going at the same speed that we thought it was going to. I thought Aaron Rodgers would make a decision by last Friday, but he's Aaron Rodgers. Maybe he waits, maybe you wait until after the draft. And this is what I wondered. With some of these teams, you're going to get a quarterback. You might get a quarterback. If you don't get your quarterback, then things change a little bit. Then all of a sudden, maybe there's more people interested in Russell Wilson, maybe there's more people interested in Kirk Cousins. Maybe he becomes more valuable in a. As a, you know, trade possibility. There's always the chance that Aaron Rodgers just says, I'm done. And this came out. I. I'd love to give. Maybe it was Diana Rossini. I'd love to give the credit to the person, but it felt like there is that option on the table. And, and that seems obvious at his age, what he went through with the Jets. But then we always come back to the following. Well, you don't want to go out this way. How do you think Aaron Rodgers is going to go out? Probably not on a high note unless he goes to the Vikings. You can't all be John Elway. And if you're going to go to the Giants, how do you think you're going to go out? This isn't Travis Kelsey, who played in the Super Bowl. Hey, I want to come back. Okay, Aaron Rodgers, does he want to play? I don't know. Does he know? But if I'm the Steelers, I make you an offer and you don't want to come, we're the Steelers, then I say, all right, we move on. Were the Vikings ever really interested in him? Was he more interested in them? Now? There are reports that he loves New York, wants to stay in the New York area if he's going to play, whether that's true or not. But he would go from, you know, one locker room to the other locker room in the same building, from the jets to The Giants. But that's the updated news with Aaron Rodgers holding us all hostage. Not much longer, though, right? 877-3-DP Show Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Watch basketball last night, and I was curious just how good North Carolina was going to be. And this doesn't. This doesn't prove really anything. I know this is where Tar Heel fans will say, oh, are you going to apologize today? No. For what? I didn't think you deserved to be in the tournament. It's not the end of the world. It's okay. If you're really honest about your team, you probably would say you didn't deserve to be in the tournament, but you take it. Okay, fine. You beat San Diego State. Great. Maybe you make a run. We've seen teams in the first four end up in the Final Four, and, you know, they. They're on a mission here. Alabama State at the buzzer gets by St. Francis. Pennsylvania, not a great couple of days for West Virginia basketball. West Virginia doesn't get in the tournament. Thought they deserve to get in over North Carolina. And then to make matters worse, they lost their basketball coach. He went to Indiana. Darien DeVries. I don't know if he would have gone to Indiana had West Virginia made the tournament. After they get, you know, bounced. Do you eventually go to Indiana? I'm not sure, but Mike Woodson, who got Indiana to the doorstep of making the tournament, got fired. Darian devries, who was kind of the. I think the guy after the guy to clean up Bob Huggins mess at West Virginia, but he goes from West Virginia. I don't know if the governor holds a press conference and has anything to say today about losing their basketball coach. Yes. Your alma mater. Yeah. I think the big part was Bob Huggins. This is kind of the after. I think Darren Devries, he was, like you said, kind of the guy after the guy. Yeah. You know. Yeah. And now going to Indiana, Steve Alford never got a shot. Now Steve's at Nevada. And I thought that that was one of those. That was always going to be inevitable. And then all of a sudden it wasn't. Yes. Marvin, looking back on history, don't you think that's a bad idea? You saw Patrick Ewing at Georgetown and Chris Mullen at St. John's it's going okay for Penny Hardaway at Memphis, but isn't it tough to be the greatest player in the hit, not one of the greatest players in the history of a program going back to be the head coach like Clyde Drexler at Houston. Right. You can't hire somebody without the thought that you may have to fire them. And with, you know, Chris Mullen at St. John's Patrick Ewing at Georgia, like these are your all timers. And of course, it has to be awkward when you come back. You know, there's. There's a Hall of Fame ceremony, alumni weekend, and yeah, you're introducing Chris Mullen or Patrick Ewing, and everybody's thinking the same thing. The school fired them. Yes, Marvin. And it's hard because those two are easily the greatest players in the history of that program. So everyone's looking for them. Steve Alford, I'm not sure if he's the great. I don't know much about Indiana basketball, so I don't know who the greatest player is that ever went there, but it's got to be difficult if you come back after getting fired. But this was a guy who played for Bob Knight. He's a local. He's an Indiana kid. You won a national title with him. I just. And I think Dan Dakotch, who played at Indiana, Radio host, will join us tomorrow and I can ask him more about this. But it just felt like Steve Alford wasn't considered for that job. You know, he had ucla, had Iowa, Nevada, but Indiana now has West Virginia's head coach. All right, see what's poll question today? I was going to go with most sure thing in the tournament. Okay. Oh, by the way, a sure thing. The Dodgers won. They just beat the Cubs. And get a load of Roki Sasaki. If you get a chance to watch him pitch. Whoo. His first three pitches, hundy, hundy, hundi. And then his next pitch was 99. Then he had a splitter at 82. He. It feels like either strikes you out or walks you, but you want to talk about some electric stuff. They may not need Ohtani to pitch this year. Imagine a year in the National League west and you're like, damn, we're already two games behind the Dodgers because nobody else has played except for the Dodgers and the Cubs. But they ended up winning. Ohtani. Homer in the game. This is just business as usual. But Sasaki has. I'm trying to think who it reminds me of. Yeah, Paul Nuke Lelouch. Well, a little Nuke Lelouch. Three innings, one hit, one earned run, five walks and three K's. Yeah, but as far as. Man, he's got some stuff. But they ended up beating the Cubs, you know, and you get. Sometimes you'll get that Japanese player who might be 26 or 27. Ichiro, I think was 26, 27 when he came over. Sasaki's 23. But that's that pipeline. They spent the money. They outspent everybody for him. And they, you know, their pitching staff was decimated last year with injuries. And I mean, you have, Clayton Kershaw is a luxury. He could be, he could be your pitching coach at $35 million a year. May not need him that much, but I don't think the offense is going to be as good. But they're still going to be the overwhelming favorite to win the World Series. In fact, according to DraftKings, the Dodgers are plus 2. 90, the second favorite. The Braves are plus 7. 50. The Yankees plus 8. 50. Then it's the Phillies and then the Mets at plus 1200. Yes, Paul, the bases were there's two men on for Otani and they intentionally walked Ohtani. Not a good reaction from the local crowd. No, no. All right, Seaton, I interrupted you. You know what, Let me take a break. We'll come back, we'll run down all the poll question options and your phone calls. Always welcome. So you have basketball coming up tonight.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does Energy Line with Nate. And JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, Dylan. I was just gonna say we should have all bet on UNC last night. We could be on vacation right now. Dan, why would we be on vacation if we bet North Carolina last night? Because that was the clearest script of what was going to happen ever. Everyone and their mothers talking about how they don't deserve it and then they go out and win by 30. So we would have made so Much money that we would have. Eight to ten billion dollars. And then we. I still would show up for work today. $8 billion. Yeah. Yeah, I would. What about on Monday? Yeah. Really? Yeah, I like going to work. We could do the show from like, Turks and Caicos or something. No, I don't need that. I mean, would I do it maybe for a week or so? Maybe in February? Yeah, maybe. But no, then you get used to the island life. Nah, I can't get used to the island life. Really? Yeah. Can't I try? It's just, I don't sit at the beach. I'm not a guy who reads a book. I gotta be doing a couple of things. Something, but. And then leave it to me and our family. We go on vacation. We get on one of those banana boats, you know, LeBron and D. Wade and Carmelo Anthony. Banana boat. Next to last day, we're done with vacation. The guy who is, you know, he's got a motorboat and he's, you know, taking the banana boat all around and hitting waves. Captain Banana. He's trying to get you to fall off the banana boat. And then, you know, he does. Well, my sister's boyfriend. Elbow goes right into my. My daughter's collarbone. So she breaks her collarbone and we're in another country. And that's not a pretty sight when you have to go to a hospital and you're like, ah, we're not having surgery here. Could you give her some pain meds? But I mean, that's like, let's do something. How about a banana boat? Sounds great. Next thing I know, my daughter's got a broken collarbone. Got a flyer back home the next day. We could have just stayed. Stayed at home, played board games or something. Yes, Paul, we've all been together a long time. I can't remember you. You're not an island sit at the beach guy in any way. I gotta be moving. Gotta do something. What's your ideal vacation? Like? Like art galleries and stuff like that? No, just movement. You gotta be like, what's there to see? Like, when I went to wine country, it was great. You're moving. It's constant. I can't just sit there, sit there in the sun, and then all of a sudden the sun reminds you you missed a spot, and you're like, God, Lee, that's. That hurts. And then reading the book and all, I can't. Can't do it. I'm a terrible person to go on vacation with because I start to relax, usually the next to last day, and I'm like, all right, you know, and everybody else is like, you've been miserable the whole time. I go, no, no, not really. Not really. By the way, March Madness is built on chaos, right? The first four games we usually dismiss because, well, it's the first four. Nobody cares. We may focus on the 89 matchup. That's always competitive. Maybe you go Cinderella story. By the way, for some reason, every time I look at my bracket and I see liberty, I always go liberty Biberty. Like I always think of that commercial with the guy who's by the Statue of Liberty. Liberty. Biberty. Can't pronounce it. Marvin, you seem puzzled. Have you seen that commercial? It's on like 15, 20 times. It feels like an hour. Is that the same commercial words? Liberty, liberty, Liberty. Yeah. Okay. Then she asked, I have. As opposed to what other liberty commercial? It's not for the university. I've seen those. I've seen tons of those. Liberty. Beverly Fairly Dickinson stunned Purdue in 2023. That's the second number 16 seed to topple number one at large. First four teams have done pretty well. VCU in 2011 went from the first four to the final four. UCLA did it 2021, taking down number one Michigan along the way. Number 10 Colorado last season kept the trend alive, beating Boise State and then number seven Florida. I don't know if one of these teams, Xavier, Texas, Alabama State goes any further than what they did. You know, Alabama State last night you got Xavier and Texas. I don't know if Mount St. Mary's or American is going to advance, but it feels like there's always going to be one or two of those teams and when you're filling out your brackets, like I've moved from the 12:5 to the 13:4, like I, I just think teams have gotten better, more balanced and you know you're going to take a shot here. There'll be a probably a double digit seed who goes to the Elite Eight. Maybe the final four feels like it's that way every year. Jim Boeheim, Mr. Sunshine will join us coming up a little bit later on. He filled out a bracket. I think he won the bracket challenge last year behind was pretty good. Couple of phone calls in here. Let's go to Curtis in Illinois. Hi Curtis. What's on your mind? Morning. DP was wondering if maybe you thought Aaron Rodgers finally came to the realization that he's not the end all be all and as opposed to just playing for anybody that'll take him. He wants to play for like a Kevin O'Connell an offensive guru under that Shanahan tree. And maybe he's just going to hold out for maybe somebody to get injured so he could have that opportunity at a team where he can be coached a little in an offensive system that seems to work in today's NFL. I think going to Minnesota and having that coach to coach you, if Aaron would let that happen with those weapons, Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson, I mean, that to me would have been an ideal situation. You get to go back to the NFC north that you know quite well. But, you know, at some point you have to just say, we as an organization are moving on. You can be intrigued by Aaron Rodgers. I would have brought Aaron Rodgers in just to pick his brain. That's why, I don't know why more teams don't interview more coaches. Because they bring in all of this information. They, they tell you exactly what they think of your team. And if Aaron Rodgers came in, I'd love to hear what he would have to say. Now if you do bring him in, then all of a sudden that's when it starts to, you know, explode. Oh, he's in. And then, you know, you got to talk JJ McCarthy down off the lead. No, no, you're still, you know, teams are still, from what I was told, inquiring about trading for JJ McCarthy, which if I'm Minnesota. No, no, you got your guy. You traded up to get your guy. You got a great, great coach for quarterbacks and now you have that rookie contract. But Aaron Rodgers, if you wanted the Steelers, you know, he would have made that decision. It feels like it's the Giants or retirement or a Giant retirement, but I don't know if there's anything else for him. I do know that this story will linger if he, if he retires and you don't fill out papers. You know, J.J. watt told us a couple of weeks ago he didn't fill out any papers that, that will always be there. Let's say just throw this out. Matthew Stafford gets hurt. There was talk that maybe Aaron Rodgers would go there. If Matthew Stafford went to the Giants, got a playoff team, got two really good wide receivers. Oh, you happen to have Devonte Adams there. Aaron Rodgers will always be the. Hey, what about Aaron Rodgers? That is a storyline that will persist in the off season and then the regular season, somebody gets hurt. That's why I think Kirk Cousins is really valuable for Atlanta. If a quarterback on a playoff caliber team gets hurt, I mean, who's Cleveland's quarterback? Can he pick it? Russell, like, what's Russell Wilson going to do. Is he going back to Pittsburgh? I don't know if they want him. If they wanted him, they would have said, we're keeping you. Did the Browns. Does he want the Browns? The Giants? I think he would go to the Giants. I think playing in New York, that whole thing. And maybe you bring him in and, you know, once again, I think they're going to go after Shador Sanders. Somebody's going to take Jackson Dart out of Ole Miss, maybe somewhere in the first 15 picks. That will change things up for some teams. And then all of a sudden, we didn't get our guy or we did get our guy. We're not interested in Russell Wilson or the Giants bring him in because they want to have him there for one year because they're going to bring in Shador Sanders. Yes, Pauline. I went to clevelandbrowns.com you can go to every team's website and see their depth chart. I told you not to go to those not safe for work websites there. Big red flag. My computer's locking up while you're looking at this. They don't have a depth chart up on their website. It says check back in 2025. It's 2025. There's no depth chart. But I think they have James. Well, they don't even have James. Winston. No. Pickett is under contract. Watson is under contract. Okay. Dang. Yikes. See, most of the time, as NFL fans, we think there's a chance for our team every year now, even if you're a bad team, you go, you know, schedule, draft picks. I don't know. It's rare when you go into a season and you go, we have absolutely no hope. How many? How many no hopers are out there? Like, I have more hope for Carolina than I do Cleveland, the Titans. I mean, unless Cam Ward proves to be Jaden Daniels, probably no hope there. Any other? No. Like, Arizona has the potential. The Giants probably a no hoper. The jets, are they a no hoper? They always have hope. Delusional hope. Yes. Mark. Jaguars. No hope. Nah. They on earth. On earth? No. I think they do. I think they have hope. Yeah. That division, decent off season. Yeah. Like I'm. I'm okay with Jacksonville. I am. Yeah. Paul, like the New England patriots, they were 4 and 10. But Drake may had a very sneaky nice season. Not Jaden Daniels. Ish. That feels hopeful but not near future. Yeah. But you might say, all right, can we be better than the Jets? Yes. Can we better be better than the Dolphins? Yes. We're not as good as the Bills. Can we get nine wins? Can we be a wild card team? Yes, Marvin. So when you guys are saying no hope, do you guys mean a playoff team? Like a potential. Yeah. Okay, so I'm gonna stick with the Jaguars. So you don't have any hope for the Jags? Not on this planet. Okay. All right. They seem a long way from hope. They feel like they're just on the downside of that last bit of hope they had that clearly isn't working out. I think that they set their GPS to hope and then all of a sudden they got sidetracked. Recalculated. Yes. Recalculated. Yes. Wait, where you take Surrey? Where are you taking me? You are not going to the playoffs. Wait, it was straight ahead there. Now I'm taking lefts and back. By the way, how many times you had asked for directions and they take you, you know, you know, the quickest way to go someplace, and all of a sudden they have you going like three or four different turns than you would normally. And I go, I don't know if I can trust you. Like, I think she's deceiving me. She's lying to me. And I always go, how did you get these directions? Maybe she's giggling at me. Wouldn't it be great, though, if I would love to be a Surrey boy? You know, like car directions where you could actually say to somebody, you know, hey, that's terrible music. Hey, keep your eye on the road. She doesn't like you. Crack a window. Please do that. No, because then you have to do all of those lines that, you know, you have to record everything, and then they piece it all together. All right, Josh in Indianapolis. Hey, Josh, what's on your mind today? What up, DP? Hey, Josh. Second time, long time. 5, 9, 2, 12. Hey, so I'm calling because I'm heading out to Vegas for opening weekend March Madness, and I just wanted to hear what Dylan's got rolling for. For the weekend. Dylan, what do you have rolling for the weekend? Well, Dan, traditionally, I bet every game Thursday and Friday just for the. The numbers game. I like. I have one big upset, which is actually a team that's been a hot topic on this show, Arizona. I'm finally going to smarten up, and I'm taking them to lose in the first round. Akron is plus 7,50 moneyline. Okay. I've been beaten by them too many times. Oh, I have too many times. Like I said, I call them the Chargers of college basketball. Or the Chargers are Arizona basketball of the NFL, where you go, I'm all in. And then all of a sudden. And the Wildcats have been shocked again. I fall for that every year. And like, nope, not anymore. They're like, you know who the best four seed is in the tournament? Arizona bounced in the first round by Yale. Wait, Arizona's playing Yale? No, they're playing Akron. But okay, I think a year or two ago, they did lose in the first round to Yale. Okay. Yeah. There's certain teams where I've been burned that if they win, I'll be like, hey, good. Good for you. Round of Paul. Toast to you. But for the most part, they're just certain teams where you go, nope, not going to do it. You're not going to make me do it. Yes, Marvin. And on the opposite end, Michigan State, no matter what seed they are. Oh, Tom Izzo. In March, they could be the 11 seed. Oh, man, he got to the Final Four again. John Scholtz would always win our bracket challenge because he would always have his alma mater, Michigan State, or he was going to go to Michigan State, decided to, you know, play for the Braves. But he always has Michigan State in the Final Four or the championship game. And for some how, some way, some reason, Tom Izzo always has his team ready to go. For a guy that you probably can't name more than five players, marquee players who have played for him, I mean, you go back to Mateen Cleaves, I mean, he's had players, you know, Draymond Valentine, there's been some good players, but he doesn't have one in Dunners. He's one of those guys that is just a basketball treasure. He knows how to coach, and they're coaches who know how to coach early in the middle of the season, late in the season, and then the postseason, very few can do it at all. Four of those times. And Tom Izzo is one of those guys. I haven't filled out my bracket yet. I hate it. But it's just like when I took the SAT and I didn't give any thought to it. I did better than when I actually gave it thought. I just go, B, C, A, B, D, C. Didn't matter, didn't care. Did better when I did that. All right, we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up. Settle on our poll question. We'll talk to RG3 about the Vikings no longer interested in Aaron Rodgers. Jim Boeheim will join us a little bit later on as well, but our play of the day is next. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. In the I Heart radio app Love at First Swipe, I highly doubt it. What's your biggest red flag? No, no, no. What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight, we're finding love through walls, or we're even judging people by balloon pops. But what really makes a relationship last?

Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast this Is Working can help with that. Here's advice from Google CMO Lorraine Twohill on how to treat AI like a partner. I see AI as incredible co pilots. You may use different tools or toys to get the work done, but ultimately as editor, as creator, as maker, you own it and it needs to be good. AI is just the latest flavor of that.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say. And not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us. Current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do. Provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

Simpson will inbound under his own basket. Potato pressures the ball. He throws a baseball right hand pass, arking toward the far free throw line. It's loose under the basket. Right up and in by Knox. 710 of a second to go. A more Knox. You tell him it was State. The lead, 70 to 68. Alabama State, nine wins by three points or less this season, tied with Michigan for the Most in Division 1. That's courtesy of Westwood One Radio. And that's your Play of the Day.

Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. Watched a wa. Watched a lot of the Alabama State game and St. Francis. I think they had 19 losses going into that game. Does that sound about it? They had a losing record, but you have that baseball pass, and it's like defensive backs. Knock the ball down. Knock it down. He had a ricochet and then put in with 7/10 of a second there. I want to make sure I got that stat right with St. Francis. Do we have. They're the 19th team to enter the tournament with the losing record. Those teams are 19. Oh, for 19 all time. They were 16 and 18. So not 19. Well, maybe. Are they 19 losses with last night checking? Okay. All right. How about the poll results there, Seaton? Yeah, we got up there right now more of a sure thing in the tournament. Your options are Duke, Florida, Auburn, and Houston. Hmm. Right now, Florida running away with that 1 at about 46% of the vote, followed by Duke. Auburn is in last there. And I've seen Auburn in a couple of different places, referred to as possibly the greatest team of all time. Yeah, I'm not going to subscribe to that. Possibly the greatest team of all time. Yeah. Yeah. Florida is going to leave its mark here. At least that's what the analysts say. I mean, Seth Greenberg said Florida is Noah's ark. They have two of everything, which is a great line. I don't know, it's just. It's always weird when you have a team that's really, really good, dominating. I just want to see when you don't have your A game, when you have to win ugly, when you have to win a close game, you know, because for the most part, you're going to have some blowouts. But you're going to have one of those games. Feels like just about any team that wins the title, there's always one of those games where you have to get by somehow. And sometimes it's not the guy that you would expect to help you move on. Tim in Ohio. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind? Morning, Dan. Good morning. A stand of the day. I got set of the day here. Okay. The night. In 1937, the NIT tournament started. One year before the National NCAA Tournament. It was held at Madison Square Garden. Sixteen for fix to play and the winner of the tournament, Temple Owl over the Colorado Buffaloes. All right, stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. I was watching a little NIT last night with Saint Bonaventure. It's not that exciting at my house. I'm just saying, you know, sometimes it can get crazy. But hey, I'm gonna flip back and forth with an NIT game. Maybe I'll see Woj there at St. Bonaventures game. Yes. Seaton. Yeah. You know, last night was one of those nights because I found myself. You like just flipping around. I watched hockey for a while last night. That was a lot of fun. You know what they do in hockey too, that I never realized. So I apologize, hockey fans, for. Your head's all about to explode. But if you do like a coaches challenge on a play, I was watching islanders penguins, I think it was, and there was like a goalie interference question on a goal and the coach challenged it because he thought that there was a coach's challenge. He thought there was interference. And then they found that there was no interference. They got docked for delay a game and then the other team ended up getting a power play. Oh. So there was like consequences for. If you're going to challenge this and waste our time, we're going to take a guy off ice for. I forget how long, two minutes or whatever it was. I forget. But you like, there's way more skin in the game about like I just throw it and see what happens. Like. No, if you do it now, you immediately not only does the goal stand, but when you come back, you're in a. The other. You're short on ice. You imagine if you did that in basketball where if somehow you're wrong, then the other team gets to shoot a technical. Right? Yeah, exactly like. All right, well, you messed that up. This other team is going to get to shoot. Yeah, it's kind of awesome. Yeah. You're wasting our time. You interrupted the flow of the game. You guys get to shoot a technical foul. Yeah, the more, the more you pay attention. Hockey is a fantastic game. It's a. It's a great sport. But how many sports do we say the following, man, come playoff time now, football, you. You will say, we love the regular season. Doesn't matter. Baseball, man, postseason's great. Basketball, man, postseason is great. Hockey, definitely. Postseason is great. It's just not a great philosophy to have that everything is about your postseason. College basketball is great. You know, the postseason is great. Regular season is not. And I mean, that's why people have a hard time filling out their brackets because they're going, I don't know, I didn't watch, you know, I think I watched the Maui Invitational, but that was, you know, back in October. But you have, you know, like baseball, you get excited at the beginning. There might be moments during the season, a no hitter, somebody hits, you know, four home runs. All Star Game. But it feels like the NBA starts after Christmas. Baseball, we sort of get after the All Star Game, maybe July ish, where people get a little more ramped up with it. Yes. Marvin. Yeah. Hockey is one of those sports where I know great goalkeeping. Like, man, Tim Thomas, when he's with the Bruins. Dominic Hashick with the Buffalo Sabres. Yeah. And was that Mike Richter? Richter. I can't name anybody else. Because they were like, man, it's about goalkeeping. It's like pitching in the playoffs in Major League Baseball, man. Great pitching. Yes. And that's what hockey is. And then they. I had never heard the expression, oh, he was standing on his head out there, the goalie was. And I go, no, he wasn't. I know it's an expression here. Yes. Paul, do you think with youth hockey it's the kid. Do people aspire to be a goaltender? Or is the kid out there who can't skate too well has to kind of try out in goal early in his career, AKA the first baseman. No offense. No offense. I don't think it's like the stereotypical heavy kid is going to be the catcher in the movie. That's what I was asking. Usually hockey goalies are actually a lot of times the best skaters on the team. The best skater. Yeah. Well, they're. They're probably the best athletes, or at least I think a lot of them. Maybe it didn't used to be that way, but I mean, just what they do, it's. And to do it on skates, it's pretty. And you got things flying at you 100 miles an hour. I wouldn't sign up to be a goalie, but there are people who have that mindset of this is what they love. You're in the action all the time. Yes. Yes. Dylan. It is pretty insane that in, like, modern society, at one point, hockey goalies had nothing on their head or face. Or face. Yeah, yeah. And then all of a sudden, you're soft. If. Who was it? Jacques Plant? Was he the first to have a goalie? You imagine these hockey guys got stitches all over the place. They see him, they. You're soft. You got to wear a mask. Are you hungry? Colleen Witt here. And Eating While Broke is back for season four every Thursday on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
