Todd (4:42)

I was concerned that, number one, I would get hurt somehow, a blade or something, my foot would get stuck under something and I'd have some kind of injury and I just don't understand the process. I would consider doing one of those riding mowers even though they're very expensive and I have a little bit of a hill to my house. So I would just probably tip over and fall over the little bump that's like by the front lawn. So I'm better off spending a couple bucks and have someone that's a professional do it.

Dan Patrick (5:05)

I'm amazed you leave your house. I really am.

Todd (5:08)

There's not a lot of things I do well. I've kind of devoted my whole life to booking guests, and there's questions about even that. And outside of that, it's tough to function sometimes.

Dan Patrick (5:16)

Does your wife mow the grass?

Todd (5:18)

No, but she'll do some shoveling and, you know, make sure it's not too icy around the circumference of the house.

Dan Patrick (5:23)

Alrighty, it's a meat Wednesday. We have the carne asada, Mission burritos, porterhouse steaks, jalapeno cheesy corn horn. Who has it better than we do?

Marvin (5:36)

Nobody.

Dan Patrick (5:38)

Brought to you by Heartland Steak Co. Poll question. Play of the day. Stat of the day. The warriors head coach, Steve Kerr will join us coming up here in a little bit. Got a chance to talk to him yesterday before their game against the 76ers, Robert Griffin Jr. III, the Heisman Trophy winner, will stop by. Dan Orlovsky of the Mothership as well. We had flag football last night, and if you get rid of the. You're a Pro bowl player. I'm okay with it. The activities, it's. That's the problem we have. And I'm old. I'm old and old school. But, you know, we don't like that. On your resume. Where Joe flacco at age 41 became a pro bowl quarterback, and then Shodor Sanders, Justin Fields turned down being a Pro bowl participant. Okay, get rid of the designation. Just, you know, if we can phrase it differently, you're a Pro bowl participant, but not the, oh, you're a Pro bowl quarterback. Big difference there. I thought it was entertaining. And it's not for my, you know, it's my age demo. It's for younger, you know, kids to watch this, and it's fun, and they're having fun and they're trying to sell flag football. I'm okay with it. I just don't like the designation on somebody's resume where you go, you're not a Pro bowl quarterback. Well, I was in the Pro Bowl. You were part of the Pro bowl activities? Yes, Todd.

Todd (7:02)

For a sport that is macho as the National Football League Pro bowl activities or whatever they call it, sounds like they're going to be finger painting and playing with blocks and doing jigsaw puzzles. It just sounds like, really, this is what we're doing.

Dan Patrick (7:13)

I would watch that, too.

Fritzi Seaton (7:14)

You would?

Dan Patrick (7:14)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Paulie.

Paulie (7:16)

But if you want the old days with helmets and they played for pride of the 80s and 90s, those aren't coming back. But last night, it was like a pickup game. It was fun, but it got really competitive at different points. And like, Micah Parsons is yelling at a ref and Joe Burrow wants to stay in the game. It was fun. It was vanilla, but fun.

Dan Patrick (7:36)

As long as nobody gets hurt, that's all I care about. If they want to participate, I don't want somebody to put themselves in harm's way. Yeah, Paulie.

Paulie (7:45)

Jamar Chase had a pick six. He played, played defense, the wide receiver for the Bengals. When he went in the end zone, he did like a. A front flip round off and landed funny. And I had to look away from the screen. He was fine, but that made me nervous.

Dan Patrick (7:57)

Yeah. Seaton, what's poll question today?

Seaton (8:00)

Poll question, hour one. How many games should the NFL season be?

Fritzi Seaton (8:04)

All right.

Dan Patrick (8:05)

I think the commissioner was lying when he said that they haven't had discussions about an 18 game, and I don't know why he wouldn't say, yeah, we've talked about it. As if he's going to lose leverage. You know, you're trying to tell me Nobody's brought up 18 games when Robert Kraft goes on a radio station and says, yeah, 18 games is a foregone conclusion. Have you had informal talks? Now, if the NFL Players association said, we've had discussions. Okay, now that's a little bit more interesting because what came out yesterday was the NFLPA said, we're not, you know, moving forward with this 18 games. Now, are we going to get to 18 games? Yes, we are. But, you know, these are both sides posturing here. But the commissioner can say, yeah, we've talked about it. We talk about a lot of things. I mean, I'd hate to think a league that is so forward thinking that would be like, what, 18 games? We never thought of it. What a great idea. Yeah.

Seaton (9:05)

Seaton, Roger Goodell said, we've not had any, had any formal discussions about it and frankly, very little informal conversations. But other owners are like, well, it's a given. Obviously we're doing it, but nobody's really talked about it. We just all kind of accept that. Well, obviously we're gonna do that.

Dan Patrick (9:20)

Well, the owner's gone rogue and they're not telling the commissioner. I mean, come on.

Paulie (9:24)

Yeah, Paulie, it's like the money's the given. The end game is the given of they know how much more they'll all make if they get there. The NFLPA said our members have no appetite for a regular season 18th game. There are a lot of factors for us to even discuss this.

Dan Patrick (9:38)

They have discussed this. I've spoken with somebody. What last year, the year before at the nlpa, NFLPA and they said, yes, of course we talked about this because we want to know, can we get four more roster spots per team? Is there a second bye week? Everybody's going to be playing a game internationally. You know, can, can we get health insurance longer, you know, for these players? You know, when I saw Jim McMahon in Tahoe last summer and he said he almost had to have his foot amputated and I'm thinking this is Jim McMahon. He didn't have health care through the NFL. And I think that's what they're looking for. I get health care for what, five years? Can I get it for 15 years? Can my family get it? Like these are things that they want to negotiate in there, that there will be the money aspect, but also are there going to be more roster spots? And I think that's the important part for the NFLPA is more roster spots and more money for your players. And you know, let's get rid of the. What about the safety of the game? We're done with that. We move forward. They settled a billion dollar concussion lawsuit here. You know, you want to bring in the new helmets from the Jetsons. I'm fine with that. But these are things that are being negotiated. And the commissioner saying, we haven't even had informal talks. I think he's telling a little fib.

Todd (10:59)

Yes, Todd, but he knows what he's doing because it minimizes follow up questions. The less you know, the less you say you did. Because then if you're saying you did have these conversations, then it opens the door to what were they like, who was in there, who wasn't interested, which team? You know, you're better off just saying, I don't know yet. We didn't thought of it. And then there's no second question.

Dan Patrick (11:16)

No, but he deflects these questions anyways. So if you say we've had informal talks, what's your, what's your follow up? Who's there? You know, just a couple of owners, you know, my staff. I mean, he could say whatever he wants to, but I don't know why it's a big secret. We're gonna go to 18 games. Not a foregone conclusion yet is because there's money attached to this. Yeah, Paulie.

Fritzi Seaton (11:39)

Right.

Paulie (11:39)

And I think you mentioned it yesterday, 18 games is mandatory to global expansion. To have more games internationally without losing home games for the local team. It's mandatory to go to 18.

Dan Patrick (11:50)

All right, so Steve Kerr will join us. Robert Griffin iii, Dan Orlovsky of the mothership. James Harden said he wanted to play for a contender. It's weird though, the timing of this, because the Clippers have won 16 of their last 20 games, but they're not a championship caliber team, so they shipped him off to Cleveland and the Clippers got Darius Garland, which, you know, I. For the long haul. That's good for the, you know, the Clippers. A whole lot younger than James Harden. Harden's numbers, what, 25 and 8, those, those are pretty incredible numbers. But, you know, he's, he's sort of the Sam Darnold. Hey, let me see what you're going to do in the postseason, because we've seen him come up small in the postseason, but those numbers, and I wanted to check with DraftKings. The Cleveland Cavaliers were plus 2500 yesterday prior to the trade to win the title. They're now 1200. So that's a big jump and you have the east wide open. And that's why I think if I'm Milwaukee, can I get a team that really thinks that they can win this now? And you trade Giannis? Because that's what it's going to take. Is somebody going to be a little impatient and not want to wait till the summer? But we'll talk. You know, I, I talked to Steve Kerr yesterday and I said to him, I joked, I said, hey, if you're going to make a trade, can you tell me now? And I promise I, I won't tell anybody. And he goes, yeah. And I go, oh, okay. And then he goes, remember, you cost me $10,000. And I go, that's right, I did. Because he was, he was the Phoenix general manager, I think, or president. And I had him on. And I said, oh, you guys interested in LeBron? Before LeBron went to the Lakers, I think. And he said, who wouldn't be? We have like the mid level, mid level exemption. And it was a joke. And the commissioner find him $10,000. And I asked him, I said, what do you say to your wife that you go on a radio show and you get off the phone and it just cost you $10,000? He said, I hid that from my wife. I did not tell her that I, I lost $10,000. So we talked about a variety of things. Obviously Steph Curry and are they attached? Is Steve Kerr going to coach as long as Steph Curry is going to play? So that'll be coming up here in a little bit. I was wondering about this. The most teams for a Hall of Famer in NBA history. So James Harden, I think, is, is this his seventh team Marvin.

Marvin (14:33)

It feels like six.

Paulie (14:35)

Six.

Dan Patrick (14:36)

Well, it's easy to lose track for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Paulie (14:39)

Paul, Houston, okc, lac, Brooklyn, Philly, and now Cleveland. Six. Six and counting.

Dan Patrick (14:47)

Okay.

Paulie (14:48)

Allen Iverson was on four. We're checking for most teams by a Hall of Famer.

Dan Patrick (14:53)

Feels like it'd be a five club. Shaq. Yeah, Shaq.

Marvin (14:57)

Play for six teams.

Dan Patrick (14:58)

Okay. Bloop. Anybody else who would?

Seaton (15:02)

Some of those don't really count.

Dan Patrick (15:04)

True Celtic.

Marvin (15:06)

Shaq does not come out.

Dan Patrick (15:08)

It was so weird to see Shaq in a Celtic uniform. Green is not slimming. You know, it just didn't look great. Is that what it was? That's why I looked off. And the fact that he was basically done other than that. Yes.

Todd (15:23)

Todd thought the sun's one was weird, too, but he was the big cat, the big shack. At least he got a cool nickname out.

Dan Patrick (15:29)

All righty. 877, three DP show operator. Tyler sitting by if you're watching on Peacock or the NBC Sports Network. Thanks for joining us. And oh, by the way, Lindsay Vaughn is still going to compete in the Olympics, and the Olympics start on Friday. Her competition in the downhill was Sunday, and she has. I don't know if it's a complete ACL tear. I think it's a partial tear, but still, I was. I don't know if the Olympic committee could have said to her, let's put in an alternate. And I don't know if it's too late to put in an alternate. But, you know, Paulie and I were talking about this this morning. How much money does she have coming in from advertisers where she's going to be the biggest story of the Olympics, at least for the first week. If she's competing with an ACL tear. And I don't think, you know, people want to know about the pain. You know, you can get by with that. She'll get by with that. It's just, I don't know, stability wise. And I don't know if they could put a brace in there. I know when I tore my ACL a couple of times, it. It's after you. You do it. It's not like you're in pain, but, you know, something's happened. But I wasn't, you know, I was just trying to walk. She's going to be going down a mountain at 60 miles an hour. Yes, Todd.

Todd (16:50)

But if she doesn't win the gold, you can't use that as a crutch.

Dan Patrick (16:52)

Oh, okay. All right. I'm gonna give you a bloop. On that one. No, no, no.

Todd (16:57)

It is very soon.

Dan Patrick (16:58)

I like that anyway. No, I like that. After yesterday, I'm rallying a little bit.

Todd (17:04)

A little bit.

Dan Patrick (17:05)

Yeah. That is gold. All right. Yeah. Paulie.

Paulie (17:08)

A doctor from the University of Denver did a breakdown on this and said Lindsey Vonn can definitely still ski with this. It's gonna be very painful, but it's a very limited event. It's not like a basketball player playing a seven game series. It's two minutes and then another two minutes and then her career is done.

Dan Patrick (17:25)

Yeah.

Seaton (17:25)

See, it feels like two minutes, though, that your knees are important.

Dan Patrick (17:29)

Yes.

Seaton (17:30)

Well, I mean, I feel like your knees are probably an important part of that two minutes.

Dan Patrick (17:34)

The, the strain, the, the pressure, the wear and tear, and you're going back. That's why I just want to know about, you know, stability. How much will she have? And can you wear any kind of brace? Yeah.

Seaton (17:49)

See, and I am, I am curious if there is, you know, how competitive she'll be versus an alternate that could jump in there.

Dan Patrick (17:55)

Yeah.

Seaton (17:55)

But I'm curious about that.

Dan Patrick (17:57)

I'm gonna guess that she is going to make a lot of money by being in the Olympics and you don't want to pass that up at age 41. It's been a great story and this has been a five year comeback trail for. But I'm gonna guess it feels like.

Seaton (18:12)

Even at age 41, it was a stretch.

Dan Patrick (18:14)

Yeah.

Seaton (18:15)

I mean, her comeback is a stretch anyway. Just her being there was a stretch.

Dan Patrick (18:18)

Yeah. But, you know, she won a couple of events there, so. But she'll be the big deal and that'll be on Super Bowl Sunday. I think that she starts her competition. All right, let me take a break. We talked to Steve Kerr yesterday. We'll bring that interview to you coming up here in a little bit. We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show.

Marvin (25:05)

He was on. He played the same year as Bronnie James.

Dan Patrick (25:07)

Okay.

Marvin (25:08)

You could tell which one was the NBA player.

Dan Patrick (25:10)

So Bronnie played with him, not he played with Bronnie.

Marvin (25:13)

Correct. Yes.

Dan Patrick (25:14)

But we thought there was a big difference. When you watch those two play, it's like, well, that guy's an NBA player. That guy has a dad who plays in the NBA for sure.

Marvin (25:23)

Getting a text from you at 11:38 at night, watching USC game. My wife's like, who's that texting? It's, damn.

Dan Patrick (25:30)

22 assists, most in the NBA this season. Most by a Jazz player since John Stockton had 22 in 1992. This is the style of day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the day. Patrick show. Did we come up with an answer? Paul. Of most NBA teams by a Hall of Famer.

Paulie (25:57)

Yeah. And these are guys either in or going in. So there's a bunch of sixers. Six times. Tracy McGrady had six. Shaq, six. Mutombo, six. Carmelo Anthony, six. Now the sevens. Moses Malone, Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups. Still in the hall. Bob McAdoo, Adrian Dantley. Seven teams. Dan. And one guy had eight. Here's the hint. One of us, I think everybody loves this guy. Well, one of us on the staff really loves this guy. That's the hint. Probably his favorite basketball player. It's not me, Marvin or Seaton. All right. Is Seton. Oh, there's a hint.

Seaton (26:37)

The hint is it's me.

Dan Patrick (26:39)

You. Your favorite basketball player?

Paulie (26:41)

I think so.

Seaton (26:42)

One of the guys that I talk about a lot.

Dan Patrick (26:44)

Marvin, Vince Carter. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Okay, half.

Seaton (26:49)

Amazing.

Stugots (26:50)

Yes.

Paulie (26:51)

Vincent. Lamar Carter Jr. Eight teams.

Dan Patrick (26:54)

The third Cooper flag had 36, nine and six. They lost. Mavs lost to the Celtics, and the warriors had just two free throws in the loss to the 76ers. We talked to Steve Kerr prior to the game yesterday, and my first question was, are you a football fan? I do. Yeah.

Steve Kerr (27:15)

Yeah. Big fan. I watch everything.

Dan Patrick (27:17)

And who do you root for?

Steve Kerr (27:19)

Well, I root for the Niners. I was a Rams fan growing up, and then when they moved to St. Louis, I. I discarded them. And so I've become a Niners fan living up here the last 12 years.

Dan Patrick (27:31)

But then when the Rams came back. You didn't go back.

Steve Kerr (27:33)

Yeah, it's too late. It's like you Know, your ex.

Dan Patrick (27:36)

Girlfriend.

Steve Kerr (27:37)

Girlfriend, you know, runs off with someone and then comes back. It's not the same thing.

Dan Patrick (27:41)

So how much blame do you take for the proliferation of the three point shot?

Steve Kerr (27:51)

Yeah, I take, I take zero responsibility for that, just so you know.

Dan Patrick (27:56)

So it's all on Steph.

Steve Kerr (27:59)

I blame Steph for all of it, every bit of it.

Dan Patrick (28:02)

Yeah, but when did you come to the grips of. I'm going to let him shoot wherever, whenever. Mid.

Steve Kerr (28:09)

Midway through my first season coaching him. There's, there's actually a clip. It's probably right when it happened. It's a famous clip where he dribbles around his back, through his legs, around four different guys on the Clippers with the light blue short sleeve jerseys on.

Fritzi Seaton (28:28)

Yeah.

Steve Kerr (28:28)

And he shoots like a fade away 26 footer. And, and they show me on the sidelines, I'm holding. So I don't know if it was that moment, but there, there definitely was a moment that season, my first year coaching him, where everything I'd ever been taught by all of my coaches, pretty much all of whom were in the hall of Fame, by the way, everything I was ever taught was, you know, these are terrible shots. You can't, you can't shoot that. You can always get a better shot later. And then about halfway through my first year coaching Steph, I realized that's part of his power. And you just let him rip. And he's going to take some bad ones, but in the end he's going to shoot over 40%. And there's something about his swashbuckling approach that is really powerful for the team.

Dan Patrick (29:20)

Can you teach it?

Steve Kerr (29:23)

I don't think so. I don't think you can teach it. I think players have to have that. But the tricky part is you can. Sorry about my dog in the background. You can get, you can get players who have it, but they shouldn't have it. You know what I mean? Like, like the opposite can be true too. Like a guy who has that attitude which, you know, you kind of admire, but the person shooting percentages don't go hand in hand.

Dan Patrick (29:56)

Could you imagine though, Larry Bird with today's philosophy or, you know, throw out whoever, like what kind of numbers are they putting up shooting from the three point range?

Steve Kerr (30:07)

Well, I think, I think we're going to see it with Con Knippel doing what he's doing in his rookie year. You know, this is, you know, probably the first generation of rookies who have really grown up and learned basketball. You know, watching Steph Curry and watching the, the style of play these days with the pace and the three point shots and, you know, for most. Most of the young players over the past half decade or so, it's. It's felt more like, all right, this is kind of where it's all heading. And with. With Kanipple, it's more like, this is already where I am right away. And you can see what a great shooter he is and the volume. I think you're going to start seeing more and more players who come in with that approach, because analytically and stylistically, the game has really evolved over the last decade to where it is now.

Dan Patrick (31:03)

And Caitlin Clark doesn't happen without Steph Curry, right?

Steve Kerr (31:07)

Totally agree. Totally agree. And it really is remarkable when you think about how Steph has impacted the game beyond just the records and the championships and everything else. It's. It really is an art form with him. And there's. There's only, you know, certain athletes who can really emulate him. But. But this, this, you know, in terms of the fluidity and the movement and the grace, but stylistically, analytically, everything has kind of led to this point, I think, in the league. And. And Steph is at the forefront of that.

Dan Patrick (31:46)

I. Obviously, talking to Steve Kerr, the Warriors head coach, I'm curious that you played for Pop, you played for Phil, you played for Loot, Olson. If I said give me the one thing. If there's one thing you took from those three hall of Fame coaches.

Steve Kerr (32:02)

Yeah, that's. It's a great question. I mean, I've definitely taken a lot from all of them. I played for Lenny Wilkins in Cleveland for three years. Brilliant. All three Fame coach. I think what I would say ties them all together is their authenticity just to who they are, what they believe in, what they stand for. I think you have to have conviction as a head coach. You can believe in anything. You can come from any kind of background. But the players need to feel that conviction, that authenticity, that compassion for what your players are going through, what they're dealing with day after day. All of those things, you know, I felt from all four of those hall of Fame coaches.

Dan Patrick (32:50)

But do you believe that everybody is individual? Used to be the old school style is you're all the same, it's a team. But there's so many personalities and demands on a game and time and, you know, stardom. And so do you subscribe more to what Phil Jackson was doing with the Bulls?

Steve Kerr (33:09)

Well, I think Phil was ahead of his time. He was probably at the forefront of what you're seeing with a lot of modern coaches, which is very much being in tune on the emotional side with your players. I thought Phil came around right at the end of the my, where are the highway type, you know, style coaching. And he helped usher in this modern era that we're in, where, yes, there's more empowerment for the players, but it's also just society, how different we are, you know, the way we live, the way we see things. And so I think coaches today are much more like. Like Phil than they would have been, you know, during Phil's time. Just being really aware of. Of everything that's happening. But what made Phil really unique was his background and his interest and his love for Native American spirituality. And, you know, a lot of people made fun of. Of all that stuff, calling him chief triangle or whatever, but it was real. You know, he was so brilliant and so authentic, and we felt. We genuinely felt like part of his tribe. You know, he would say that, and we. We felt it, and that was what made him so great.

Dan Patrick (34:29)

Are you and Steph a package deal? Is. Is this. Are you going to coach until Steph leaves?

Steve Kerr (34:35)

Well, I would never leave him, I can tell you that. I love Steph. I'm so incredibly lucky to have coached him for 12 years. I think every coach kind of dreams of, you know, coaching somebody like. Like Steph, who is arguably the greatest face of the franchise of any player who's ever lived. And I will never leave him, I can tell you. I'm not going to become a free agent and go sign with another team to coach, but it all has to play out, you know, with the organization and. But, yeah, hopefully that. That's how it ends up. You never know.

Dan Patrick (35:14)

Trade deadline comes and goes. You were traded five times.

Steve Kerr (35:19)

Yes. Five times.

Dan Patrick (35:20)

How tough is that? You go home and you tell your wife, and I don't know if you had little ones at home.

Steve Kerr (35:27)

Really hard, really hard. It's a lot easier if you get traded in the off season.

Dan Patrick (35:33)

Was there a city where you said to your wife, hey, I got traded. Where are we going?

Steve Kerr (35:42)

There was only one time when I lived away from my family, and that was when I got traded from San Antonio to Portland. But it wasn't because of the city. It was because I was traded during the school year, and it was just before camp. It would have been probably mid to late September. Kids were already in school, and we just decided, you know, to leave them there. And I went up to Portland on my own, and that's a really difficult thing to do, but something that a lot of. A lot of NBA players end up having to do.

Dan Patrick (36:14)

You talked about Steph. I. I maintain that he has changed the game probably more than any other basketball player. From the standpoint of, you know, be like Mike. Nobody could be like Mike, but you feel like you can be like Steph. And I don't know if we're getting into Victor Wembanyama, is he going to change the game? Are we going to look back and, you know, 15 years and say, oh, my gosh, he started this. But then, I mean, I don't know. Steph's so unique that we've seen big men who are athletic and, you know, Dirk could shoot from the perimeter, but Wembanyama, the fact that he is so good at both ends of the floor. I don't know if he reminds you of anybody else.

Steve Kerr (36:56)

No, I mean, if you. If you think it would be hard to be like Mike, imagine telling your kid, be like Victor.

Dan Patrick (37:04)

Be taller.

Steve Kerr (37:05)

Yeah, just be taller. Keep eating those carrots, son. I don't know, I just think he is more of a unicorn than anybody I've ever seen. Just the size and the skill, but also the awareness, the desire to be great. You can see it. I've never even talked to him or met him, but you can see it just in the way he carries himself. But there's so few people who are ever born to look like that. And I think that's what Steph's appeal is, you know, to so many people, boys and girls. I mean, he is someone who at least you can imagine being, like, for real. Now, that's not really true either, because he has the greatest hand eye coordination of anybody on earth. But. But he's inspiring so many people, and it's. It's really fun to watch.

Dan Patrick (38:01)

I think. You had 30 career starts. That sound about right?

Steve Kerr (38:05)

That sounds like a lot, actually.

Dan Patrick (38:08)

Yeah, I looked it up. I. I think one. One year, you had, you know, like, 20 starts.

Steve Kerr (38:13)

Yeah.

Dan Patrick (38:14)

And you might have the fewest start. You might be the most famous person in NBA history with the fewest starts, rings per start ratio. I mean. Pretty good. Yeah.

Steve Kerr (38:27)

I'm very proud of that.

Dan Patrick (38:29)

I'm sure you are. Sure. Sure you are. I'm curious if your kids know the feeling of when you yell at Draymond. Did they ever know that rap that, you know, when you yell at him?

Steve Kerr (38:44)

To be fair, my kids have never yelled at me like Draymond.

Dan Patrick (38:53)

Fair enough. But you've never run them. Well, you probably sent your kids basically to, you know, the showers.

Steve Kerr (39:02)

Yeah, send them. Send them to an early shower and early, early bedtime. That might have happened a couple of times back in the day, but you.

Dan Patrick (39:09)

And Draymond are going to be friends for life, right?

Steve Kerr (39:12)

He is the best. I. You know, he's so emotional and. And passionate, and we've been connected for 12 years in this quest to win. And he's the first to tell you he's flawed and he goes overboard at times, but, you know, he's. He's such a competitor, and his will to win is kind of what's not only gotten him this far, but also gotten him into trouble over the years. And he knows that. And so that's been something that he and I have really tried to work on together and, you know, kind of embrace, because you can't win without. Without competitive desire like that on your team.

Dan Patrick (39:59)

Thanks for taking time. I know you're busy, and good luck.

Steve Kerr (40:03)

Always good to see you, Dan.

Dan Patrick (40:07)

Steve, his dog started attacking him, and I'm like, somebody loves you, you know, but, yeah, I've known Steve a long, long time. Go back to the Arizona days, but he played for Loot. Olson, plays for Phil Jackson, plays for Greg Popovich. If you're looking at careers where you go, okay, that guy had 30 career starts, but he ends up being part of, what, nine NBA titles as player and coach, assistant coach, playing on the Bulls, playing with Mike, Pretty amazing career. And he's going to go into the hall of Fame and go back to when. Remember when Phil Jackson left the Knicks or stepped down, and we thought Steve Kerr was going to go to the Knicks, and then he eventually replaces Mark Jackson with Golden State, and that's when we didn't know how good Golden State was. They were curiosity. And then all of a sudden, Steve said, you know, I can unlock the potential of this team. But they almost traded Klay Thompson for Kevin Love, and I think Mark Jackson was still the head coach. And I asked him about that, and he said, I'll never. I'd never give up Klay Thompson. And Kevin Love was a big deal. I mean, he was giving you, you know, 30, 20. He gave you a 30, 30 game.

Paulie (41:31)

Yeah, Paulie, this was in 2014, right before the run started. They almost traded Kevin Love for Klay Thompson. Tons of stories about it.

Dan Patrick (41:39)

Seaton (48:21)

Dude, there are times in hockey calls that I have absolutely no idea what language they're speaking, even though I know it's English, because I swear at one point in that, the guy said, screed up tallinn reebok on 10 tensil.

Dan Patrick (48:33)

What the hell was Reebok?

Seaton (48:35)

And Tensor Reebok had a screen up. Colleen read up dumb tensile like, goal. Like, what the hell language is that?

Dan Patrick (48:41)

Lindsay Vaughn's endorsement for 2026. Nearly $10 million. Red Bull, under Armour, Rolex, Oakley. And I don't know how much of that is attached to her actually competing in the Olympics, but certainly that would be a big motivator if it is. All right. You know, I was wondering about this. Remember when the Dallas Cowboys, the offensive lineman, they would. They would stand up and then they would go back down. I don't you remember that with Tom Landering?

Paulie (49:11)

Yes. In the 70s, they would get up to the line of scrimmage and they would be like kind of their forearms on their knees. They were not down yet. And Roger Staubach or whoever, the quarterback would go down and then they would go up and then down to the set position.

Dan Patrick (49:25)

But nobody did that afterwards. I. And then the Cowboys stopped doing. Maybe when Jimmy Johnson got there. Yes, Todd, I did not like the.

Todd (49:34)

Cowboys, but I thought that was badass. There's something about that. Look, maybe it's because they were the only ones doing it to be up and down like that, like they're ready.

Dan Patrick (49:40)

To do something and Chris Collinsworth is going to join us later in the week. And I started thinking about, remember wide receivers? They would stand at the line of scrimmage with their hands or they're like on their hip and they would have one foot in front. Do you Remember that, Todd? You do totally remember, Marvin. You're looking at me like you don't remember that. When they would. Almost like Mick Jagger.

Marvin (50:01)

Yeah. So they stand like Mick Jagger, ready to stop me.

Dan Patrick (50:05)

Yeah. They would be at the line of scrimmage. It doesn't look threatening at all, but they would have their hands on their hips, and I'd go like Fred Balitnikov. I remember he would just be like this. And I'd be like, okay. That's how you play wide receiver. You stand there with your hands on your hip.

Todd (50:21)

Not an intimidating pose.

Dan Patrick (50:22)

No. Yeah, Paul.

Paulie (50:23)

Yeah. And going back to the Cowboys, I looked up. It was called the Landry shift. He wanted all his offensive linemen to be in sync and go down in position at the same time. That was the only reason.

Dan Patrick (50:32)

And I'm sure that they would draw teams offsides, you know, because of that. Because there's movement there.

Fritzi Seaton (50:40)

All right.

Dan Patrick (50:40)

By the way, I ran into a closed talker yesterday.

Paulie (50:43)

I know.

Dan Patrick (50:44)

And you know when you're like, close. Close.

Fritzi Seaton (50:47)

Okay.

Dan Patrick (50:48)

Yeah. Not close.

Seaton (50:48)

You said a close talker. Like a tailor.

Todd (50:51)

No, Someone talking about cloth.

Seaton (50:54)

Somebody who always talks about clothes. So weird.

Dan Patrick (50:56)

Clothes talker. And you know when you talk, they're right there. And then you take a step back, retreat. Yeah, I'm trying to retreat. But he kept coming. And Paulie goes, well, there is a rule of thumb here about. Paulie's going to demonstrate. Marvin, if you'll stand up and. And we'll. Because I said to Paulie, I said, yeah, you know, I wasn't sure. What is protocol here? All right, so, Marvin, standing poly.

Paulie (51:23)

So I saw this on the Internet years ago. Comedian said, if you're close enough where I shouldn't be able to put my hand on your shoulder, look at Marvin and I having a conversation. Okay, if I could put my hand on your shoulder.

Steve Kerr (51:34)

We're too close.

Dan Patrick (51:34)

That's it. Okay, There it is. All right.

Paulie (51:38)

Line of demarcation.

Dan Patrick (51:38)

Well, thank you.

Paulie (51:39)

Anytime.

Fritzi Seaton (51:40)

Yeah.

Dan Patrick (51:41)

Things you learn on this program, the things that you don't want to learn on this program. Yes. Todd.

Todd (51:46)

What if you're hugging people for the first time when you're meeting them? Is that invading social distance space?

Dan Patrick (51:51)

I think I made that mistake yesterday where I met somebody and I went to, you know, put my hand out and shake her hand, and I thought she was leaning in for a hug, and I don't know if I'd met her before. And then she said, no, you met me at the super bowl in Miami. That still doesn't mean that I can go in for a hug like that, but it was a little awkward.

Todd (52:15)

If I was making the rules, you'd be absolutely. Don't even give that a second, though.

Dan Patrick (52:20)

Yeah, it's. It's awkward. Yes, Marvin.

Marvin (52:22)

That's like yesterday. I mean, two days ago, we did a meet and greet and you know the Key and Peel skit where Barack Obama gives everybody just the, you know.

Dan Patrick (52:31)

Yeah.

Marvin (52:31)

Business like, handshake.

Dan Patrick (52:32)

Oh, yeah.

Marvin (52:32)

Comes over to me, daps me up. I hear you, bro. Happy Black History Month.

Dan Patrick (52:37)

Yeah. He dapped you up. He came to me and he gave me that firm.

Marvin (52:40)

He did.

Fritzi Seaton (52:40)

Nice to meet you.

Paulie (52:41)

Nice to meet you.

Dan Patrick (52:41)

Hi, nice to meet you. What up, Marvin? Give me a. Really, bro.

Seaton (52:45)

That's all we got. That's all we got.

Marvin (52:47)

I was like, man, me, you, James of Virginia.

Dan Patrick (52:49)

Yeah. Black History Month.

Todd (52:51)

You know this all month.

Dan Patrick (52:55)

Let me see Andy in Rhode Island. Hi, Andy. What's on your mind today?

Andy (53:02)

Good morning, Dan. What's up, Dan X. And you're talking to a lucky winner of not one, but two free super bowl tickets courtesy of Vet Ticks. And I am currently on my way to pick up my God brother. And we're going to be flying out from Logan Airport out to California for the Super Bowl. And I am on a high that I can't even explain because I just found out last night through an email that I was one of the lucky winners. So here I am getting ready to head out to California and I'm hoping that I could possibly stop by the show to see you guys.

Dan Patrick (53:32)

Maybe Friday. That would be great. We'd love to see you, Andy. 6 to 9am at the China Basin Park. Congratulations, Chico in Baltimore. Hey, Chico. Hey, Dan.

Andy (53:45)

I see you guys out here. Feels good to have you guys back on NBC Sports Network. Hey, so you guys, you think that there will be a How you feel about Bad Bunny being performing at the halftime show?

Dan Patrick (53:59)

Good for him. I really don't care about the halftime show. I don't get caught up in halftime shows. I might watch a little bit of it, but, hey, it's for you and not for me, you know? But I. You tune in if you like it and you can tune out if you don't. I mean, it's so refreshing. Yeah. Like, it's. Nobody's making you watch it. Yes.

Marvin (54:22)

Marvin the Post Janet Jackson. Halftime shows might have been for your audience, like Bruce Springsteen, the who, not for Seaton. But there were other Tom Petty and a Heartbreaker Stone. They really got away from Nipple Gate. He's with the Old school acts right after Gina Jackson. Yeah, like, oh, more old acts.

Dan Patrick (54:42)

I still think Justin Timberlake should have taken a little more heat. Yeah, a little bit like all of it. A little bit like all of it. I mean, I think Janet knew what was going on. I knew somebody who worked on the halftime show and I waited a little while until I called him because he was an absolute wreck after that absolute wreck, he goes, I just hope this blows over. I hope there's a controversial finish to the game. I said, no, it's going to be there a while. In fact, forever. RG3 will stop by hour two on the way. Dan and the Dan and Stan Patrick show.
