If you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network, thank you for downloading the app. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country, over 400 cities that carry this program. All right. There's a couple of things going on. The Tiger woods story is not just a sports story. It's a whole lot bigger than that. But next week, is the Masters? Is Tiger going to go? Is Tiger going to go to the Champions Dinner on Tuesday night? Tiger's also involved in a public golf course project there close to Augusta National. Will he go there for that? Is he going to play, try to play in the Masters? If you've won the Masters, you get an invite. But now not all players who have won the Masters decide to play in the Masters. They become too old. They don't want to put up, you know, 95 as their score. Tiger has not let Augusta national know if he's going to be there or not to participate. Now 15 former winners have told the Masters they will not be participating in the actual tournament. As of this morning, Tiger has not let anybody know anything. There is a report that Tiger is still practicing. And that would give you maybe some credence to Tiger will still try to play at Augusta. Will he even go? You know, if he's not going to play, will he go to the Champions Dinner on Tuesday night? He's got a press conference now. At least he was scheduled for a press conference to talk about this public golf course that they're launching in Augusta and he's part of it. He's part of the design team. Is he going to show up? They want Tiger there. They want him at a press conference. This is prior to his arrest. Is he going to go? And if he goes, is he going to talk to the media? Will he say, hey, I can't talk about that? Which I don't know who is, who his advisers are and what their game plan would be for something like this. But this was supposed to be a really big deal. I didn't think Tiger was going to play. But as I said yesterday, I've said a couple of times there is a photograph of his private jet there in Augusta recently. And you usually go a couple of weeks prior if you're going to be playing in the tournament. We'll talk to Jim Bones Mackay, who now works for NBC, get his thoughts on the Tigers situation. He'll join us coming up next hour. Reggie, in the final hour of the program, we've talked about it. I know I talk about it maybe too much. But keep this in mind. On March 24th, Victor Wembanyama's MVP odds were plus 2200. As of this morning, they're listed at plus 225. Here he comes. He put up 41 last night. SGA put up 47. They won their 60th game. Reggie Miller text me late last night and he said, I want to revisit the MVP conversation. I don't know. Feels like reg I was Reggie doing. I think he was doing the Thunder and the Knicks last night. Is that the Sunday night game? He did Thunder. Okay. That's probably why he wants to talk about SGA. But you know, you get to your 60 wins if you have the most wins. I still think that SGA is going to be your mvp. But the fact that you had JJ Redick, the Lakers head coach Doncic was suspended for his 16th technical. So he didn't play. LeBron had a triple double last night. But JJ said, hey, the way Lucas playing, he would be my mvp. Well, I expect him to say that. It would be news if he said, are you kidding? SGA is or Victor is going to be, but you're going to give your guys support there. Luca to me is still the best player in the game. He's not going to win. And it, you know, it can come down to subtle things like if Denver had the best record in the west, then Joker would win the mvp. They're on a run. If the spurs have the best record, then Wemby would probably be your mvp. Should it come down to who has the best record? Is that the most valuable? You know, I've said before, with Jalen Brown, you carry the Celtics for half the season, maybe three quarters of the season, Tatum comes back, and now you're the team with the second best odds to win the championship behind okc. Jalen Brown, to me, I would put him ahead of Luca. I wouldn't put him ahead of sga. I wouldn't put him ahead of Wemby. You could put him ahead of Joker and. And have a legitimate case. You know, his numbers aren't the same, but he's been great. He's been great for the Celtics, quietly. This was supposed to be one of those, well, this will be an off year. Maybe the Pistons are the team that plays for a championship out of the east, or maybe the Knicks or maybe the Cavs. Now it's Boston with the second best odds of anybody to win the championship. The other story is Dan Hurley and his. I. I don't even know how to describe this, because it's not a headbutt, but it's almost a meeting of the minds where they touch foreheads after the shot, and you're thinking, what is he thinking? To put yourself in a position like that where you're. You're touching foreheads with the official with 4/10 of a second left for you to go to the final four. Now, a lot of people, yeah, this became more than just a basketball situation. Everybody has an opinion. Because if I look at this and I listen to social media, you know, Danny Hurley is. Is polarizing, but it doesn't look good. But I have to put it in context here. And I think that's the hard part for people because you've already made up your mind that Dan Hurley. Why would he be taunting the official when you just hit a shot 4/10 of a second, your team is leading. And Seth Davis from CBS said for context, the referee is Roger A. He's worked multiple final fours, known for his toughness and his sense of humor. This struck me as Danny Hurley messing with a buddy more than intimidating. A reference. This is after the Mullen shot. So Hurley was obviously not mad at the officials. Social media wasn't as kind and didn't offer that context here. Why no technical. Well, I kept saying, okay, what is the context of this? Has Danny Hurley been interviewed since this to ask about this moment? I haven't seen anything, but I'm surprised. I would figure local media availability, somebody would ask him about that, but I don't think Danny Hurley would pick that moment to try to intimidate the referee because you're already leading. That would cost you the game. It felt like, hey, that was a moment almost, you know, like, how do you like them apples? That's the feeling I got, you know, Matt Damon and Good Will Hunting, how do you like them apples? Maybe he's saying, hey, what do you think of that? But I. I haven't heard anything from him. But the context of it, I think is important with this official, veteran official and their relationship. I don't know, but I would love to find that out if somebody is. I mean, we weren't going to ask for Dan Hurley again. He joined us last week and gave us a lot of time. But I. I haven't even seen a statement that. If I'm Yukon, the sports information director. Can you put out a statement there? When is there media availability for Dan Hurley and Connecticut? Because it is a big deal and he's polarizing to start with. And look, I've watched that video 50 times, it feels like. And I, I just. I come away with these same. What the hell is going on here? Like, I'm. I've seen a lot in 40 years doing this. That's wild. You're gonna. You're gonna touch foreheads. I can't say it's a headbutt. It's not. But I'd love to hear from the official. Hey, I've known Hurley, you know, we went back and forth. You know, whatever you're. You're reasoning is on this or description is on this. Yes, Marvin, I've seen the meeting of the minds between players. Maybe the coach and Mullins. If they would have done that, that would have been fine. But the ref, that's almost like doing that to John Shire. Yeah, it's just wild. Yes. Todd, you don't want to know or believe that a coach and a ref are buddies. At the very least, it's a bad look. So that's. That's the only little problem I have there. If it's being described as. That's just something between two buddies, that's just not. Well, I don't think that's correct. I don't think they're buddies, but I think there's familiarity there that they're both competitors. I don't know if, unless Danny Hurley comes out and says, oh, yeah, man, we socialize, or we're buddies, you know, on and off the court. I mean, if he says that, then, yeah, that. You can read into that however you want to that. Well, he's got his buddy out there. They travel in the same circles. And, you know, this official has done some final fours. I'm. I'm assuming they cross paths quite a bit if they're playing in big games. Yes. That's actually a bigger problem if they're like, well, we're buddies on and off the court. Like, okay, that's not supposed to be happening. Yeah. I do find, though, that the more like you. I've watched it a gajillion times, and it gets kind of more bizarre, slash, more amusing each time that I watch it. The thing though, that I, I keep coming back to is you, obviously, you watch Dan Hurley in that moment. You're like, dude, what is this guy doing? But when you watch the ref, he has no reaction. Yeah, he doesn't even. It's not even odd to him at all. In the moment, if some dude came up to you and put his forehead on your forehead, 99.9 of people would be like, yo, what are you doing, dude? Yes. What the heck? Because it's just an odd motion to make. This guy is like just going through to the scores table, almost like, oh, I gotta see how much time is left. You know, like, he's just doing business, get out of my face kind of thing. He didn't even. He didn't even react at all to it. And usually you would get the. Almost overreaction. If somebody was trying to headbutt you, you would bounce back. Yeah, Flop. But there was no emotion. There was. I mean, there was pause, but then that was it. He just kept moving to the scores table because he wanted to get the exact time. Then, you know, all of a sudden it's 3/10 of a second instead of 4/10 of a second. Or maybe it's 4/10 of a second. But Hurley is a mess. You know, is jacket is kind of on and off and he's walking down, he can't believe what just happened. And then all of a sudden he sees him coming and it might have been something as, hey, what do you think of that? And then they move on. Yeah, Paulie. Like, you guys, I've watched this 20 times, and if you had to describe this to someone, it's almost hard to find the words. It's like Danny Hurley was speaking in tongues or having an out of body moment because he turns and they kind of run into each other. And then if you keep watching the video, there's a longer video. The ref goes to the scores table, doesn't say anything back, and is Working on the rest of the game. And Hurley just goes back to the bench and resumes coaching. But yes, it was a. If you look at the headlines there, you know, it's headbutts official. Why not a technical call to mean social media? And I get it. I get it. Any other coach, we probably would have been a little more lenient. And if John Shire did that and they, you know, had a shot, big shot now, he could have done it to the official after Mullins hits the shot. Like, what the hell? What just happened here? Yeah, Paul, the headlines are fascinating. All over the country, even international headlines, Dan Hurley headbutts ref. Dan Hurley physically confronts ref. And there's real people that were bothered this. Terry McCauley is the NBC rules official. He said he was disappointed that the official didn't do his job and. And tee up Danny Hurley in the moment. Yeah, but that's why I think we need context here, and we need it from Dan Hurley and the official. I think this is really important, and I would hope that somebody can get, you know, some kind of statement or if Dan Hurley wants to join us and talk about that. Great. Or the official. Do the officials do any interviews? Todd, can we get Roger Ayers? We'll certainly ask. Is he. I don't think he's working this weekend, so he's got some time. We get sometimes umps and refs. There's all kinds of rules about that. But if they say no, they say no. Yeah, Paul, he might be recovering from the attack. We should be a little patient. Ptsd, been discharged from the hospital. We do know post traumatic stress, Danny. Yeah, ptsd. All righty, Seaton, we got a poll question. You know what? Let's take a break. I think this is take a break worthy. Break worthy. Yeah, I think so. We'll get phone calls coming up. NFL league meetings are underway. Interesting topic. That's not a topic. But I know why it's not a topic. We'll have that for you coming up as well.

Even those not in the basketball world, but those in that basketball world, like Seth Greenberg from the mothership had this to say about the Danny Hurley moment. This situation right here. First of all, Roger ears is the best efficient off college basket was tremendous communicator there isn't and he wrecked a ton of my game. There were games where he's put his arm around me, walked me back to my bench. It was time. Comments where he said seth, that's enough. But that situation right there, that is absolutely nothing. I talked to Roger today. He said what are you talking about? He literally didn't know what I was talking about. He said nothing happened. The ball went in. I was running back. They were celebrating. Danny leaned in, said something to me. I said something to him. It was absolutely nothing. So you're saying that was coach fired up in his own way in the moment and the official interacting with him, which is that guy is the best communicator in all of college basketball. As an official guy you'd want on every single one of your games. Home road favored not Favored. And then I spoke to Dan as well. Yeah, Dan said he didn't understand what was going on. He has so much respect for Roger. He's never had a problem with him. Now he's been walked back like all have during the course of a game. But that literally, that was social media trying to create something out of nothing because of Dan Hurley's allegedly reputation. No, it's not allegedly reputation. It's a well earned reputation here. I want to know what was said. Like, if you're going to talk to both parties, then tell me what was said. That'll put it in better context here. I mean, two things could be true. They could have a moment there. You could read into it and say, boy, that's strange. But it could also be. It's nothing. Okay, but I'd like to know the words that were exchanged. Was it hey, take that, or hey, man, unbelievable shot. Okay, but that's what I'd like to know. And that's where I think put out a statement here. Unless they want, you know, this to kind of linger and then lead into that game. And then CBS is going to, you know, blow this up, you know, once they get ready for that game. Yeah, Paulie, I. I decided to watch it one more time. The longest version I can of it. I. I'm further from figuring out what's going on it. Dan Hurley's jacket is askew. He just had one of the greatest shots in UConn history. And he looks like he's looking for something and he just goes eyeball to eyeball with this rap for two seconds with this weird look on his face and then goes back and starts celebrating. Yeah, it's as odd as it gets. Jim in Florida. Hi, Jim. Good morning. What do you have for me today? Hey, Dan. Dance. Now everyone's making a big deal about this. I mean, he probably neither one of them. I got two things, but neither one of them. Probably remember always said it was just basic basketball talk because he wanted to make sure the ref could hear him. I imagine it was pretty loud at that time, you know. Well, he's celebrating, man. I'm trying to, you know, got to get in his ear. Thank you, Jim. I don't know if I've heard that excuse that it was loud in there so he had to touch foreheads there. But thank you for the phone call. Robert in Sacramento. Hi, Robert. What's on your mind today? Hey, guys, Love the show. There's two things. One, welcome to the rec tech family, baby. I've had mine for nine years. Oh, good. It's awesome. I got a 590. It's a beast. I use it twice a week. Secondly, Roger Ayers is the Bruce framing Joe west of. Of college basketball. And I'm willing to bet all the money in my pocket against my ex wife's life that he looked at Danny Hurley and said, that's going to cost you some nil money. Thank you, Robert. I'd just like to know what, what, what words were exchanged, if you know. Here is Seth Greenberg, former coach, well connected. He talked to Danny. You talked to the official. Okay, then what was said now you might get. I don't even remember what I said in the moment. Yes, Todd. I feel like it almost works to Dan Hurley's advantage because I'm not just crazy Dan Hurley. Like, if it was some other coach, almost any other coach, it would be even a bigger deal. It's like, what is going on? How did that happen? But because it's Dan Hurley, you could almost wink at it because he's just a little insane. I think that's a very valid point. Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew. Good morning, Dan. Dennis, thanks for taking my call. I. I have something on Dan Hurley, but then also a stat of the day. I. I don't know, maybe it's a Duke fan in me, but I think it's a T. I think he just squared up at the ref real quick and a. In a big moment for him to show up the reps. But why would he do that in that moment? Because he can't control himself and he wants to show who's. You said he's. He's a control freak. He wants to show who's actually in control of the game. I did this even though you didn't call the game. I wanted. If you see how he walks away, he does that fake tough guy walkway, kind of takes his shoulder up, it's out of the jacket, and he kind of huffs and puffs back over. I think he caught himself in the ref. Knew he caught himself, so that's why it wasn't. But if you lip read, I do think he's saying, who do you think you are? I am. So that's what I think. I don't know if Hurley's saying anything, but if Seth Greenberg talked to the parties and they both said they said something and then moved on. Tell me what you said. Boy. Unbelievable shot the kid hit. Yeah, yeah. You know, whatever. Yes. Pulling. The only thing I could think of is he knows the ref is going to the scores table to look at how much time is on the clock after the Mullen shot. And he's trying to send a message, keep it friendly, don't add too much time. What else could he be discussing? No idea. That that's the only moment left in the game to be decided it. I don't think he's using the moment to say, hey, who's in control now? Because he's still not in control. The official is. Because the official is so much in control. He's going to go over there and change the clock. The time on the clock. He's in control. Do I think it's an out of body experience for Dan Hurley? Yes, I do. You're down 19. You got no chance. Duke's playing so well. Then you have a chance. You whittle it down, you whittle it down. All they got to do is get the ball into the front court and they're going to win the game. Tipped pass. Pass to here, pass to here. Shot up, boom. And then all of a sudden craziness and then he's walking around like a peacock. He's proud of his team. And then he sees the official and maybe there's that, hey, that was pretty effing unbelievable. And maybe the officials said yep or whatever, but I'd still like to know the context of that because that would help the situation here. Because if Danny Hurley said, hey, we, we overcame your officiating or something crazy that that would be, then then we could add credence to this. Yes, Marvin. If he said something like, take that, that would have been like, yep, Tech right there. Yeah. Yep. Tim in Ohio. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind today? Hey, BP first time, long time. 5, 10, 2, 30. So I know SGA is going to likely win the MVP. And while he had 47 points last night against the Pistons, 21 of those were from 25 free throw attempts and OKC only had 17 team assists. Meanwhile, you have Wemby over there having 41 points and he only had four free throw points on four free throw attempts. And the spurs had 31 team assists. So the viewer, I just think it's way more pleasant to watch Wemby than the spurs. And I think that's a reason going forward, the SGA might not get any more MVPs after this year. Yeah, I don't know. He's been great for a great team and he proved that greatness in the playoffs as well. Because we want to see that. We wanted to see it from Giannis, you wanted to see it from Joker you wanted to see it from Embiid. You want to see it from Luca. All the great players, the current great Anthony Edwards. You want to see what are you doing when you get to the playoffs that will make us co sign on. This MVP and SGA start to finish was incredible last year. Does he know how to draw fouls? Yes, he does. Well, I know it's not aesthetically pleasing, but neither was when James Harden was doing this as well. Trying to draw fouls or Trey Young trying to draw fouls. This is up to the NBA and the officials to maybe relearn how what you're going to call and not call. They're the ones calling it. SJ puts himself in the position. You don't have to call it, but SGA is almost making you make these calls. And he's got the ball. He's ball dominant. He gets in the lane. He makes contact. I think he initiates. They allow to allow him to initiate more contact than. Than they should. That's my problem with that. But he's not doing anything illegal. Yeah, Seaton. So I would disagree with that that he's not doing anything illegal. He doesn't draw contact in the same way that James Harden does. Only he straight up last night took a dude by the shoulder, pushed him off of him and took a step back and shot it. I mean, that's very clearly against the rules. So he does that a lot. But why don't they call that correct? I think. Well, I think they're starting to call it. They're definitely once a. The defender has a trick now where when they get pushed off like that, they just stop playing and throw their arms up like this is stupid. Yeah. And that's starting to get attention. And he. That is going to start backfiring for sure because you. It can't be that egregious where he's clearly shoving people off of him like that. Not with his shoulder, not even an elbow. Like a fully extended arm and still not getting. But there has to be a heightened awareness with the NBA home office and with the officials that they would be looking for this. And that's what's surprising. If you know that he's going to do this. It just feels like it's up to you, the official, to call this or not call this. And if you're not calling it, why. Why didn't you call that? Because they get graded after every game. And I would think. And you know, this decides if you're going to have postseason games as well. What's your Grade. I'd be curious about that. Yeah, Paul. So the Thunder beat the Pistons last night in overtime, but with five seconds left, SGA drives right, he puts out a forearm and he hits a jumper to take the lead with five seconds left. They called an offensive foul on sga and his face is incredulous. But that sent that game to overtime. If they happen to lose that game, I could see this getting a lot more coverage. But they did call it on the final drive of the regular, regular time curtain. Baltimore. Good morning, Kurt. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. Good morning. Well, the reason they called that follows because Bickerstaff, the coach, bark down the referee right before that call because he's pushing off the whole game and they do call him the foul merchant. So it just. It's kind of hard to watch because the other day you told us to watch the whole game. I watched the whole game till 1 o' clock in the morning and I was just like, wow. Yes. You know, and that's a great point that you make, Kurt. I always say watch a game, you know, have the total context of how a game is called, how a player plays. And if you watch an OKC game, SGA initiates contact. It feels like almost every time down the floor. Yes, again, I would disagree. They didn't call that because the coach was complaining. They called that foul because he didn't use his forearm. He used the palm of his hand on the guy's shoulder and used his full extended arm to push him five feet that way while he took a step five feet the other way to hit a shot. It was so obviously an offensive foul and that they. They finally called it. Let's see. Jake in Ohio. Hi, Jacob. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan, you hear me? Yeah. All right. 511 and a poker tudinous 183. And I've got a quick story about Sunday night with the Yukon Duke game and then a marriage question for you guys. So I'm watching the end of the game, 10 seconds left, goes to the line, and my buddy's got Duke winning his bracket. He checks his phone to see what happens. He looks at the score, put this phone down and walks away. So we knew something big happened. One of our leaders for our group, Bible group, sent a screenshot of the end of the game to one of my buddies to spoil the ending. So we kind of had that miraculous March moment taken away from us. Probably the worst experience, knowing what could have happened. And then my question for you guys is, I'm Getting married in April. I make a bracket every year and hanging up on my wall if my fiance is not okay with me continuing that, Is that something I need to have a discussion with, or is it kind of like, what do you guys think I should do about that? Thank you. Well, I would say this to you, Jacob. If filling out a bracket and hanging it on the wall is going to be a problem, then I'm worried about you. I'm going to take the under in this marriage, but maybe you put it some other place. And are you putting this in, like, the living room or the bedroom? Where are you putting it, Jacob? So. So I can maybe send a picture on Twitter or email, whatever you guys do. But it isn't like just a typical. Just normal bracket. I take four poster boards together, tape it up. It takes up a majority of my wall, and I, like, write the names of the teams in different colors. I draw the logo. So it's like an official March Madness bracket that I've been filling out for a while now. Okay, what room is it in? The living room, right beside the tv. I would suggest that you take it out of the living room. All right. And not. Not in the bedroom. Not in the living room. Maybe if there's an office or a man cave or maybe out in the garage. But yeah, I would say that. I mean, I hope this doesn't, you know, and the relationship here due to March Madness. But it's good to know now how she feels, you know. Sorry. We're getting married about 25 days, so just wanted to ask you guys before it happens. Okay. What has she said about the brackets that are on the living room walls? Well, I made him when she was over here, and she kind of gave me a confused look while I was making a bracket for two and a half hours, because I kind of take it really serious. But, I mean, she think I do a good job making it. It's not like it's a crappy bracket. I put time and effort into it. She, like, she likes that aspect of it, and she likes basketball. But yeah, during marriage, just never know, whatever. But yeah, she's gonna want to, you know, nice up the house a little bit. You don't want to have people over and you got, you know, big poster boards in there. But yeah, you know, it's. It's all about picking your battles here. All right. How important is this, Jacob? That's what it comes down to, that if you say, nope, this is my house, and I want to have my brackets up there for a month, and it's a deal breaker. What? Todd, I think she needs to embrace his passions and his interests. It's a few weeks out of the year. It's not like he's keeping up the football standings from, like, September to February. It's a few weeks out of the year. Unless they're having some kind of special event where family and friends are coming over and she'd be embarrassed by having this thing on the wall. I say wink at it. It's a few weeks out of the year. I can't have it in the living room. I can't. When you get married. I can't have that, Jacob. I'm sorry. I got to. I got to draw a line. You got to give her, you know, half the. Half the room in there. Well, maybe you give her all of the room in. There you go. Put it out. There you go. You found it. You found it. There you go. That's what that is. Yeah. Okay. We're all counting on you, Jacob. You know what? Send a picture. Tyler will put you on hold. I want to see what this setup looks like. But thank you, Jacob, and good luck. Thank you. Go blue. Alrighty. Yes. There's a reason man caves were invented. And it was. Can I just have one room in the house that I can put my stuff in, please? Can I. Can I just have one room in the house that's like, hey, this is the way I want it to be? Please? Yes. Paul, every year of marriage, you get squeezed a little bit more out of your house, whether it's your garage or your office or your man cave. If you have kids now, they're taking over your bathroom, or the man cave becomes a playroom. You have to find one dedicated room and own it. Let's take a break. Great advice. We hope for Jacob.

I was watching pardon the interruption last night and Michael Wilbon was talking about how this embarrasses the umpire. It does, but it also embarrasses the player when the umpire gets the call wrong and he strikes out and walks back to the dugout. But yes, everybody in the building knows the umpire screwed up. But keep this in mind. We're moving full speed. You know, we have, you know, you can challenge now, but by next year I'd be surprised if this just isn't every single call that it is. You know, the automated balls and strikes because this slows down the game, that you're trying to speed up the game when you challenge. And here's five times they have to stop the game and then all of a sudden you gotta wait for the replay. Now I love it, I want it. I, I want, you know, the game called that way because I do think that the technology to embrace this and make it, you know, kind of a game show feel on the scoreboard, how you dress it up, what it looks like. Now I've taken the umpires feelings out of this or credibility out of this. Now it's just, here's the call, these are the calls, this is how we're calling it. And the umpire will be at home. You still have to have an umpire at home plate for, you know, fair and foul down the line, a play at the plate, you know, if there's, you know, tipped ball, catcher's interference. Because people think, oh, there won't Be an umpire back there. No, you have to have one back there. But I do think the automated balls and strikes, I like it. I. But I want to go all in. I don't want it to be where now, there's strategy to it, novelty to it. I get that. But I think baseball is moving forward, and if it's all about you speeding up the game, then don't have these challenges, because that slows down the game. This in from tmz. Tiger woods, when he had his accident, had hydrocodone pills in his pocket. That is a potent opioid. It is used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain due to high addiction abuse, respiratory depression risk. It's a Schedule 2 controlled substance. If you've ever been on hydrocodone, then you know that feeling. Having used that before for my knee replacement surgery and quickly got off of that, man. Percocet, some of these other drugs, like, they do their job because you get this warm feeling, and it's like, all right, I could get used to this. That's the problem. People get used to this. But for Tiger, he. There's no alcohol, but from what I've, you know, been told, he's not a drinker. But, you know, these painkills, prescriptions. Who is prescribing him these prescriptions, too? Is somebody just giving it to him? I mean, yes, it starts with Tiger, but there's got to be culpability here. Yeah. Pauline, this TMZ report, they obtained the arrest affidavit. So it's based on not scuttlebutt, but the actual paperwork of the arrest. Yeah, but I don't know what's going to happen if Tiger is going to go to Augusta and if he goes there for a golf project. But, yeah, I'm. I'm not. Not quite sure. Not quite sure what the game plan would be for next week with Tiger. If you have, he's going to be holding a press conference to draw attention to this golf project that he's doing there. The champions dinner. Is there. Is he actually going to try to play? Man, tricky stuff. Zach and Knoxville. Hey, Zach. What's on your mind? Adp, thanks for taking my call. You briefly said that you thought Luca is the best player in the game right now. No. You think that Joker. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah. Joker. Joker's the best player in the game. Okay. Well, that was going to be. My question is, if not for longevity, because I know it'd be wimby, but I just. I think that Luca is such a liability on the defensive end. And I know Joker's not an enforcer, but. Well, there goes my question then. Would you. Would you start your team with Joker if you just had to have him for a season? Or Wemby or Luca? I would take Wemby. But, you know, once again, it's what makes you valuable, what makes you the best player. Lucas doing stuff that's never been done before, and at that position, it. It is commonplace for him to have. I mean, he's going to lead the league in assist, he's up there in rebounds, he's up there in points. I mean, it's remarkable. But Wemby, what he's doing offensively and defensively, I would want that on my team. I just think what Joker does is different than anybody else. And for everybody who says, oh, Luca doesn't play defense, where are all those people who voted for James Harden for mvp? If you're going to say that about Luca, where were you with James Harden? Because he doesn't play defense at all. But I never heard that. I never heard people say, yeah, but he doesn't play defense. It was like, James Harden is a bucket. And yes, he is, but he's a bucket for the other team occasionally as well. Eric in Salt Lake City. Hi, Eric. Hey, what's up, Dan? I got three things I'll keep the quick. First things first, I'm not a gambler, but I've never heard so much of a sure thing. I too am taking the under on Jake's marriage. Second thing, LeBron James. I was watching Austin Rivers last night do the commentary, and I realized LeBron came into the league, is still in the league. And in that time, Austin Rivers played his career at Duke, then played his his whole NBA career, and then got this broadcasting job. And LeBron is still triple double machine, super fun. And then three, get Paulie in the I team on it. Because if you zoom in on Dan Hurley's mouth, he's basically saying, hey, Dan, Patrick is retiring in a couple years and we would love to see him reignite that beef with Colin Cowherd. Well, thank you, Eric. Big wind up. Big wind up with the pitch. Yeah, we're not. Good effort, good effort. We're not reigniting anything there. All of nothing to see.
