Prediction today the brotherly shove will be.
Adam Lefkoe
Made legal or illegal.
Dan Patrick
Right now 54% of the audience think that's going to be made illegal. Okay, we have a random one here from Todd Most impressive 150 mile an hour tennis serve 120 mile an hour golf swing 100 mile an hour fastball or 100 mile an hour slap shot. Well, how many people serve 150 miles an hour? How many swing a golf club 120 miles per hour. There seems to be a lot of people throw 100 miles an hour the slap shot 100 miles per hour. So I, I would be curious how many people can do those individual achievements because that might tell you just how rare it is and maybe how impressive it is.
Adam Lefkoe
Yes, Paul, when I thought about those, what might be more impressive is being on the other end of it being a catcher and dealing with 102 and being a goalkeeper. I didn't know a slap shot went 100 and those guys are taking it off different parts of their body. I know they're padded, but not completely padded.
Dan Patrick
Well, you got to hit 100 mile an hour fastball. You have to hit a 150 mile an hour tennis serve. How many I. 150 miles an hour. Who serves that fast?
Adam Lefkoe
I just did a basic look of what, you know, above average speeds are. Like. Someone once had like 157 or 160 mile an hour, but that's like the greatest of all time. But then there's some that go down.
Dan Patrick
To the 150s and 140s. Yeah. Because I don't. I'd have to know how many people in the world can do that. It feels like there's on, you know, there's a lot more guys throwing 100 miles an hour. 120 is at the high end for a golf swing slap shot. 100 miles. That used to be it felt like. Was it Al McGinnis? Didn't he have the fastest slap shot for years back in maybe the 80s? Yeah.
Adam Lefkoe
Paulie, there's been about 15 recorded serves, men's serves of 150 miles per hour or over.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Adam Lefkoe
Including guys like Andy Roddick did it. And John, is there a couple Americans you may know?
Dan Patrick
Yes. Returning a serve that fast must be almost impossible. You know who was there? There were two guys who stand out who were two of the greatest to ever do it. One was Andre Agassi and the other one was Jimmy Connors. It just felt like you're hitting bullets and they would just get their racket on it just enough to get it over so then you could have a rally. But I just remember Agassi, he. He was so good at that. And I'm sure I'm leaving out other people, but those were two that came to mind. 877-3DP show. We'll get to your phone calls. Coming up, Albert Breer is set to join us. Robert in Naples. Hi, Robert. What's on your mind today?
Adam Lefkoe
Hi, Dan. Long time miss, sir. First time caller. 58180. Yes, I'm your average Bob softball pitching coach, high school and junior college. If I keep beating people inside and.
Dan Patrick
They change the bats to where the.
Adam Lefkoe
Sweet spots closer to the hands, why would I not start trying to attack.
Dan Patrick
The outside where the bat's weaker? I sure, I guess it's all open for interpretation and discussion here. But Jeff Patson will join us next hour. Talk a little bit more about that. He's Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback, their senior NFL Reporter and he joined us, joins us from Florida at the owners meetings. There's a lot on the table, a lot on the agenda. Let me start with the tush push. When is that being voted on? Today.
Adam Lefkoe
I'm there in the room now doing their votes, so that could come down, you know, anytime, I'd say, over the next. I would say within an hour, hour and a half, will probably know one way or the other.
Dan Patrick
What's your sense?
Adam Lefkoe
My sense is there's a ton of argument, you know, in the room over it. And I know, you know, Howie Roseman stood in front of the room the other day and basically asked for the injury data. And when they said, well, there isn't really any injury data. There haven't been injuries on it, he then said, okay, well, give me the difference in injuries between this and a conventional quarterback sneak. And they couldn't do that. Dr. Alan Sills, the chief medical officer for the league, then said, like, well, you know, we're. What we're worried about, based on the posture, is that this can. This could create a catastrophic, you know, or catastrophic head and spine injuries, you know. And then, you know, Mike Vrabel and Jim Harbaugh actually, you know, spoke up and, you know, got into the way the rule was, how specifically written it is. Like, it's written about, you know, it's written in a way where it's, you know, applies to pushing behind the center. So Variable asked, well, what if the quarterback is running behind the guard? Can you push him then? And Harbaugh came up with the idea. He's like, well, what if I put two extra linemen? And this would be the most Harbaugh formation ever, I think. What. What if I put two extra linemen behind the guards, had them push the guards and not touch the quarterback? So there's been healthy debate. I just think I. My sense right now, Dan, is if the commissioner really wants to get this thing through, and I'm a little more certain where he stands in the kickoff than I am on this. If. If the commissioner really wants to get it through, maybe he tables it and they tweak it and work it a little bit and vote it again. I don't know that they have the 24 votes right now to get it through and ban it.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, that was my feeling, that at first I thought there just felt like there's this groundswell, and all of a sudden there was a lot of, you got to get it out of the game. And then one of my sources said, there's not. There's no data. Like they're searching for data that's not there. They're desperate to find that. And therefore if you don't have that data, it's really hard to say we're going to create a rule, get rid of a rule because of one team.
Adam Lefkoe
And that's my problem with it. You know what I mean? It's like, why should we be getting rid of something because one team is really good at it?
Dan Patrick
You know, what are the other things that have been or will be decided or voted on today?
Adam Lefkoe
So the overtime. The overtime proposal pass. Which basically makes.
Dan Patrick
Hold on a second, Albert, we got a little breakup in your connection there. So we'll come back to you. Todd, see if you can help Albert with his connectivity there. By the way, the men's final four, the odds, Houston was a four and a half point underdog. They're now a five and a half point underdog against Duke and Florida's still a two and a half point favorite against Auburn. Yes. Eden, this is a terrible day to.
Adam Lefkoe
Be doing all this voting and announcing.
Dan Patrick
All this April fools. Yeah, there was just. ESPN just had a thing that said breaking news, NFL. Both teams will get the ball in.
Adam Lefkoe
Overtime, this and that.
Dan Patrick
I didn't even bother reading it all. Cause I'm like, I don't even know if this is true.
Adam Lefkoe
I really have no idea.
Dan Patrick
Well, you can joke about a lot of things, but nobody wants to joke about the NFL. It just feels like that. That makes headlines and people who click on that. Yes. Paulie, one thing Albert said there, I.
Adam Lefkoe
Didn'T know the NFL had the power to do. If they don't feel like they have the votes, they could table this to May and look at it again. I thought this was like deciding day. That's interesting.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. But I, I just, I don't, I don't know. It feels like once again feels like the commissioner wants to take this out of the game. It's predictable, esthetically, not pleasing. You're in the entertainment business. There's no data that says that. Hey, look at all these injuries. Todd, did we reconnect with Albert? We'll see if it sounds a little bit better. So the overtime rule that was just passed, can you explain that?
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah. So like basically it's going to take what's been playoff over time the last couple of years and make it overtime across the board. The original proposal actually pushed for a 15 minute period. They tweaked that and moved it back to being a 10 minute period, which I think is interesting because if you're the team that receives the kickoff when you just immediately go into your four minute offense, right. Like wouldn't you immediately start running the clock? So that could add an interesting dynamic. My guess would be that they wanted to go to 10 minute overtime because maybe the broadcast partners don't want to be pushing outside the normal window too far. And then, you know, it's like adding plays to a game, which is a health and safety thing. The alliance proposal got shot down to, to take the automatic first down away from defensive holding and illegal contact, you know. And then the kickoff I think is the big one, the other big one that they're going to vote on here.
Dan Patrick
Now what, what is it that they're going to vote on?
Adam Lefkoe
So to make the kickoff the, obviously the new kickoff that they debuted last year to make that permanent and then there are some tweaks to that that they're trying to go through. And my understanding is that Roger really wants more returns. And the good news is like the injury data, they have supports that this has worked. Is, you know, what they're saying is, is that the, the injury data shows that it's about the same injury right now on a kickoff as you have on a, on a, on a, on a normal play from scrimmage. So like that part's good. They feel like too many teams were kicking into the end zone. So you know, like with the touchback being at the 30, they, it's been proposed they move the touch back to the 35. Now you know, I, I know some coaches are very against that and so why don't we just move the kicker back five yards so it's harder for the kicker to reach the end zone. But the goal here for Goodell seems very much to, to find a way to create more kickoffs and to get, to get more to create more kickoff returns. And you know, I think there's been enough argument about the different formations and again like the different tweaks that I, I do think there's a chance that Roger will look at this and say we should table this until May and like go and work through all of the tweaks and decide what's right for this year and then vote again on it.
Dan Patrick
May. What about onside kick?
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah, so the onside kick is, that would allow, and this is just a common sense thing. I don't know why they limited the fourth quarter. I don't know why they limited to. You have to be behind, to be honest with you. I, I, maybe they, they, they. I mean it is a More dangerous place. So maybe they wanted to, you know, make sure that there were fewer of them. But yeah, what they would do now is I think you still have to be behind, but. But the onside kick would be about in all four quarters. Obviously you have to declare it because it's completely different formation and play than the modified kickoff.
Dan Patrick
I know you're busy. Thank you for spending time, Albert.
Adam Lefkoe
Anytime, Dan. Appreciate it.
Dan Patrick
That's Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback, senior NFL reporter. Tried to get a better connection there, but. Sorry about that, but Albert gonna have a busy day and try to have him on again.
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah, Paulie, it is interesting that the, the kickoff, that we didn't really like the setup of the kickoff. But if you can get more action, people are gonna. I think the fans will love it or get used to it because you actually have action, not just a guy taking a knee.
Dan Patrick
Well, yeah, it looks silly. It looks silly if there's no action, that the guys are just standing there and then you kick it and then nothing really happens. At least if you're going to stand there like you're guarding the palace in London and then you get to run after somebody and something's in play. Great. Or if you kick it in the end zone, you get the ball at the 35 or can you move the kicker back to where. But you know, then, you know, you got guys who have really strong legs and they would probably still be able to put it into the end zone. But I think we're all in favor of having a little more action on kickoffs. Jim in Ohio. Hi, Jim. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. Good morning, Dennis. The previous caller about you had the. That's not good either, Jim. That's not good. Call back, see if we can get a better connection there. Lou in Indiana. Hi, Lou. What's on your mind today? Hi, Dan, thanks for taking my call.
Adam Lefkoe
You were talking about last four year great college player. I was wondering where Zach Eady would fit in there. He played four years of Purdue, two time national player of the Year, got to the championship game and just happened to be playing against one of the greatest college teams in the last 25 years.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Zach E. Would be in there. Two time college player of the year, never won a national title. So that takes him out of the running with all of those great players who did win at least one national title. But Laitner might be the last great decorated college basketball player because he stayed for four years with the women. They're staying for four years. That's why, you know, Brianna Stewart, she might be the greatest women's college basketball player of all time. You, when you go four for four and you're the most outstanding player in all four of those national championship runs, can't improve upon that. Now, you might say individually, no, but if I'm looking at what you accomplished and you were the most outstanding player and your team won titles four for four, that puts you on a very, very, very short list of the greatest women's college basketball players of all time. Yes, Marvin.
Adam Lefkoe
And for Paige, if she wants to be on that list, she's got to win a national title this year. Obviously, this is her last go round and especially at UConn, she doesn't crack the top five UConn women's players of all time without a national title.
Dan Patrick
Well, it's like Caitlin Clark that you have the purist with the women's game saying, well, you can't say she's the greatest of all time. She didn't win a national championship. Okay, but she changed the game. The all time leading scorer, it's like Pete Maravich, Pete Maravich, all time leading scorer, didn't win a national championship, didn't even come close. Now, he didn't have a good team, but you know, Pete getting 44 a night. But they went to the NIT. I don't even know if he played in the. Well, back then the NIT was probably still favored over the NCAA, but never won a national championship. But he was unstoppable. Whereas Bill Walton and Lu Alcindor, they're winning national championships there. So if you're including Christian Laettner winning national championships, Tim Duncan didn't win anything. Grant Hill won a national title, you know, so you're, you're looking at players and if you're going to say greatest players of all time, we tend to start at the back end and then work our way to the front of how many titles do you have now? What else did you do? We'll take a break. Adam Lefkoe, on loan from TNT will stop by and more of your phone calls as well. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

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 some advice from Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your eq. A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? You know, when you walk in a room, do people feel good you're there? Are you responsive to people? Do people know you have a heart? Develop the team, develop the people.
Dan Patrick
It create a system of trust.
Adam Lefkoe
And it works over time. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast this Is Working. Leaders like Jamie Dimon, Mark Cuban and Richard Branson share strategies for success and the real lessons that have shaped them.

You should always be in there actively managing your network.

Ever wanted to know how Nike builds emotion into the Jordan brand? You have to be obsessed with the current state of the human condition. And it doesn't stop there. What about how Gleam reinvented knowledge search with AI? You can learn about how a Michelin star chef is redesigning seeds for flavor and how Pixar is nurturing a creative culture. Listen to Building One on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dan Patrick
Watched a little bit of the Lakers Atlanta Hawks last night. You know, I'm always fascinated with Trey Young, but it just feels like he's had a career aside from going to the Eastern Conference finals where he puts up really good numbers. It's just his team is mired in mediocrity. He's like a 2710 guy and you go, man. And then you just go, what's his career going to be like? Yes. Yes.
Adam Lefkoe
Paulie could he be one of those guys who has a second act where he's maybe option 1A with a better team?
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yes. I think he's going to need that. Yes. Todd.
Adam Lefkoe
And now he's the new assistant GM of Oklahoma basketball. What he does on the court, I.
Dan Patrick
Saw that he followed Steph Curry's blueprint there. So he's the assistant gm. Proklahoma Basketball Adam Lefkoe NBA on tnt Inside the NBA. He hosts on Tuesday nights. He's also got a big podcast with Shaq Turner Sports March Madness Studio host. He does it all. Does it all. How's the ego? I mean, you know, you're getting a lot of run now people know your name, you're talking to big time Celebrities. Thanks for taking time out for this little show.
Adam Lefkoe
People stop me in the airport. It took a hit in a good way.
Dan Patrick
Do they stop you in a good way?
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah, they say, hey, stop running into me, Idiots. No, my ego took a huge hit after I came in here and I talked about Angel Reese, and I argued with you, and then the Internet did stuff, and then you didn't have me on your show for, like, eight months. And then I would occasionally text you and be like, man, Caitlin Clark is so good. Just trying to appease your. What I thought was an ego. And so. No, I just.
Dan Patrick
I got to be honest with you, though, Adam. I didn't know that you were doing it for a reason. When you would just randomly.
Adam Lefkoe
I just wanted to talk to you.
Dan Patrick
You. You would randomly send me a text going, man, that Caitlin Clark is phenomenal. And I'd be like, yeah, how am I supposed to answer that? Of course she is. Now, I understand that you were trying to curry favor or trying to win me back.
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah, because I rewatched the video, and I was like, I think Dan was actually angry and. No. So to know that maybe that wasn't the case.
Dan Patrick
What was the argument? Were you. Were you defending Angel Reese?
Adam Lefkoe
And I thought I was talking Angel Reese. It was like stock was at the very highest. Like, they had won eight in a row. And I was like, I don't know, Dan. She might win rookie of the year. And you were like, idiot, I've been in sports for 70 years, but I love you and I miss you.
Dan Patrick
All right, well, I'm glad to have.
Adam Lefkoe
You back and your green hoodie.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, this is Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore hoodie.
Adam Lefkoe
Wow. By the way, you gotta wear that, like, what, once a month? You can't wear that too often.
Dan Patrick
I know. I probably gone to it a little too often because, you know, people got.
Adam Lefkoe
You know, when you're wearing.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you got the lime green. My daughter's in New York, and she's walking along the west side highway where they have basketball courts, tennis courts. She looks over, and she sees somebody in a floral shirt and baggy basketball shorts. And she calls me and FaceTime, she goes, dad, Adam Sandler is playing a pickup game, and she FaceTimes me. So I'm watching Sandler for, like, five minutes on FaceTime, trying to yell at him. And it was. You know, he gathered a crowd there going, pick up basketball. And he'll play anywhere with anybody. And he was in town for a charity thing.
Adam Lefkoe
See, we're watching. We're watching random 16 year olds on Twitch and there's millions of viewers. We should be streaming the Sandler pickup basketball. I would watch that on a. On a Tuesday at 2pm I'm watching Sandler take down random dudes. The Y. I'm in.
Dan Patrick
Well, he. He sent me a picture the last time he was playing in lower Manhattan with Timothy Chalamet. Yeah. And actually said, chalamet's got some game. So I was like, that makes sense.
Adam Lefkoe
When I saw that Timothy Chalamet on two separate interviews, one said his style icon is Kenny the Jet Smith and then said his dream role is playing Ernie Johnson in a biopic. I went, this dude is definitely one of the guys up at 1am watching inside. Also, when did it become biopic and not biopic? When did we make that switch?
Dan Patrick
I have a problem with it as well. I thought it was. It was biopic, but I've heard, you.
Adam Lefkoe
Know, and it's because someone British probably said biopic and we went, well, they're always right.
Dan Patrick
Are you okay with the final four, the heavyweights?
Adam Lefkoe
I. I couldn't love it more. I've always been someone where I like. I wish we had more upsets in the round one, but I like all my upsets to happen in the round of 64.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Adam Lefkoe
And then I like amazing basketball because at this point, the ratings are going to be higher than they've ever been. The storylines write themselves. I think the Duke Houston game is going to be incredible. I mean, Houston, remember Jamal Shed got hurt last year against Duke in the sweet 16. They went out there, they retooled with us. And, and so the motivation from that side, the seniors versus the stud freshmen on the other side, you get the SEC storyline battle that everyone's been obsessed with it. This is the best case scenario. Just like the 2017 Final Four was amazing as well.
Dan Patrick
He's Adam Lefkoe, NBA on TNT inside the NBA. Also co host of the big podcast with Shaq Dan Patrick. Shut the hell up. Turner Sports March Madness studio host as well. We have already trademarked this. We wanted to do tanking tops for like the. The Pelicans. They have. They have to wear tanking tops because they're tanking for flow.
Adam Lefkoe
Like pennies. Like at high school practice.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. You must. You have to wear tanking tops in.
Adam Lefkoe
Practice because tanking isn't obvious enough. Then, like, we need to make it more obvious when they're playing.
Dan Patrick
Yes. We want to shame them. Are the Sixers tanking?
Adam Lefkoe
Yeah, like, it seems like it. It seems like half the league is Tanking because they too are watching the final four and seeing Cooper flag. This is the time of the year when everyone tries to solve tanking and my solve is just watch games like Houston, Louisiana and Minnesota Denver and just don't pay attention to them. I think it's you. Do you change the weight of the lottery is if you're not in the lottery is everyone get a chance to have the first pick in the draft. It's the same thing. I'm also an Eagles fan. Ban the tush push.
Dan Patrick
It's.
Adam Lefkoe
I don't know, it just all seems unnecessary and excessive and arguing about like the parts of sports that you actually don't care about.
Dan Patrick
What's left to be settled with two weeks to go in the season.
Adam Lefkoe
So right now the west is a cluster in terms of seating and I think everyone is either trying to fit like if Houston gets the 2 seed, sort of like we had a few years ago where everyone was jockeying to get seven to face Memphis because they were younger. That seems to be the jockeying right now. I mean you have some great teams in the west playing Minnesota is a dangerous team. The Clippers are showing to be a dangerous team. And then in the east it's right now 1, 2, 3, look set and then do the Pacers get the 4? Where are the Bucks that I would love to see? Bucks, Pacers, Pistons, Knicks I think is the best matchup in that middle ground. I don't think anyone's messing with Boston or Cleveland. But on the west you're trying to avoid the Thunder for as long as possible and you're probably trying to take on Houston because they can't score in a half court offense. And like we saw with Memphis all those years, you could be great in transition and offensive rebound. But once the playoffs start, it's called differently. If you can't score in a slow down game, you're going to be in trouble.
Dan Patrick
Does the success of the Lakers hinge on them playing defense?
Adam Lefkoe
You know and last night they put up 103. I would say it is, I would say also it's the, the, the, the other three point shooters. Last night Gabe Vincent, Dorian, Finney Smith hit 12 threes combined and put up 40 points. And so Luca and LeBron are going to do their thing. I don't think we're going to get Austin Reeves dropping 30 points all the time. But who else can hit threes when Luka and LeBron dish? Because Lucas gravitational pull as you know is so strong, just like it was in Dallas. You need the Reggie Bullocks. You need those guys on the outside that can hit those threes when it matters. Defensively, though, can we rely on LeBron weak side blocks in the clutch every game? I don't think so. They went out and tried to trade for Mark Williams, the center for Charlotte, who just went off for another 18 and 13. I don't know what happened with that injury scan, but they showed us right there they needed another big. They didn't have it. And that's why, for me, the Lakers run is more likely next year than this.
Dan Patrick
More all in on OKC or Cleveland.
Adam Lefkoe
Ok, see that? That was the wrong Eastern Conference team to mention for me. I'm a Boston guy. I think that Boston right now is a little bit like okc, where I feel like. And I don't think they're intentionally rusty, but. Hey, Jaylen Brown, you're off tonight just like okc. Hey, Jalen Williams, take some more rest. Boston right now, I would take over. I just. I'm still. I'm still. I need to see it with Cleveland, and I'm just boring like that.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I In the same thing with okc. We still need to see it.
Adam Lefkoe
I don't know why I have more faith in Oklahoma City. Maybe it's because I know Cleveland battle Boston and battle back and have beaten Boston. I watched that OKC Boston game a few weeks ago with Chuck, and I was just. I was flabbergasted. Like, we were just sitting there watching Oklahoma City play defense. And typically, like last night, Boston will swing, swing, swing. And by the fourth swing, they caught you in a. In a bad defensive shift. But Oklahoma City is five guys that can all switch. It's Lou Dort, it's Caruso, both of their bigs. You know, Chet and Hartenstein can switch. And I think against Boston, you need to have that position. Versatility. And I think they have it. And I think. I. I don't know. I trust Dagnal a lot. I trust. I do trust the Thunder, even though they haven't done it.
Dan Patrick
Who's more interesting when the camera's not on Barkley or Shaq?
Adam Lefkoe
Interesting in different ways. Chuck is so Chuck will go out in public and will interact with everybody, which I find endearing, but also wildly annoying because you're never gonna get the story finished. So then, Adam, as I was telling.
Dan Patrick
You, the key to life is.
Adam Lefkoe
Oh, you want a picture? Okay. Can you send them a round of drinks? Yeah. Where are you from, honey? That's great. And you're like, where Shaq is like, we're going to go into a private room by ourselves, and he's going to, you know, Shaq is going to tell you business stories about how he walked into a boardroom and was like, oh, shit. Whereas Chuck is going to tell you a story about, you know, Barcelona in 92. Very different people, but they're the best when they're together. You know, they're like. They're peanut butter and jelly.
Dan Patrick
I like, though, the Chaq didn't want money from a company. He wanted part of the company. He wanted equity.
Adam Lefkoe
And now Chuck is finally in his equity bag. You know, now he's got Redmont Vodka and he's got all of his companies. I want to know, you know, there's a. There's a chill that goes through the halls of TNT when we get an alert that says charles Barkley on the Dan Patrick show today. And I just want to know, like, is this like, the Manchurian Candidate? Do you have, like, a little node in the back of his brain where you get him to say anything like, what have you done to this man? How have you controlled his brain?
Dan Patrick
One of the first times I met him, I did a Sunday conversation when he was still no. He was with Phoenix. Although I did meet him when he was with the 76ers. But he talked about being a woman, and I. So we had somebody at ESPN kind of make him up as a woman. And we use the picture on the Sunday conversation with him. And he got the biggest kick out of that. And then I, like, I would just see him and he stayed in touch, and it. It always feels like. Like that's our normal conversation. If I'm around Reggie Miller, that'd be a normal conversation around Charles. Normal conversation. So all I try to do is bring normalcy to something that isn't normal. And that's an interview over zoom. And Shaq falls or Charles falls for it every time.
Adam Lefkoe
It's. I think he love. He loves talking to people. He loves to talk to. Is one. Both of those two people are. Are top two in terms of love being themselves. Chuck loves me and Chuck and Shaq loves being Shaq, and they've earned that. But Chuck to it to a tea. Like last night, I thought it'd be funny because I hit a parlay on NBA on tnt, and Chuck has yet to hit one this year. And that was my second. And so I was like, let me FaceTime Chuck. He'll understand.
Dan Patrick
I know.
Adam Lefkoe
And he picked it up, and I knew I was in trouble. Dan, when he had his clear glasses and they were towards the edge of his nose because as Chuck is out, they get further and further down, and then the talking gets louder and louder. And I. So I tried, and he. He got me. And then I FaceTimed him afterwards, and all I heard was, like, 10 dudes laughing. And I was like, where are you? He was like, oh, I'm out with the fellas. We were watching you, and when I saw you FaceTime me, I was like, you knew and you still tried to end my life? And he was like, yeah, yeah, that's. That's Chuck, man.
Dan Patrick
Language.
Adam Lefkoe
He's the goat.
Dan Patrick
Great job. Hope you're having fun.
Adam Lefkoe
I'm having a blast. Can I ask you for advice?
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Adam Lefkoe
Did you ever cover, like, tennis, like, extensively, or just sports?
Dan Patrick
I reported on it, like the US Open, but I didn't do anything where it was, you know, like Chris Fowler calling matches.
Adam Lefkoe
Oh, no, never. We're host and we're not Playboy.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Adam Lefkoe
People, they're a whole weird. They like being on the road and staying in econo lodges. That's not our lives. Yes, we like cushiness. We like someone that comes and puts our IFB back.
Dan Patrick
Are you going to be a host?
Adam Lefkoe
Well, I'm. I'm at the point where I'm thinking, you know, I'm starting to do March Madness, and I'm thinking about other sports. What about baseball, about tennis, things like that. How. What is when you start to go, okay, I'm going to throw myself into another sport. I'm going to really study and learn. How do you. How do you. Dan Patrick, one of the greatest of all time. How do you throw yourself into a new sport?
Dan Patrick
I throw it. I go into the deep end, but I go into the deep end with people who have been with the sport for a long, long time. So they are my floaties. I'm in the deep end. But I. I have these guys. Mike Milbury, when I did hockey. You know, you can just ask these guys. There's so many guys that. Especially in that sport, who want to help you. And that helped me greatly when I went to the Olympics. You throw yourself in with Bob Costas and Al Michaels. I have the two greatest. And, you know, so now I just take. I just listen. But I. If you're going to do that, be around people who have done this because they want to know if you're real or not. They. And I just go in and I just say, hey, as if I don't know anything. Help me understand these things, and you'll be amazed at how Much help that like Doc Emmerich. I just wanted to know how much he like, why do you love the game so much? And he gave me that Costas with the Olympic and get, you know, you work so hard, you know, consecutive days. It's a grind working the Olympics. But he said, you'll get, like, it'll hit you and you'll get caught up in it and you'll just be on overdrive. You'll just be on adrenaline. And it was great. You know, those are very, very beneficial. But as a result, I'm doing that now. When Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison came in to football tonight, I said, I want you to put your egos to the side. I'm going to help you learn tv, you know, football. I'm going to help you with tv. And I think that's the important part is you can play a role to other, you know, people coming up, but people will play a role with you to help you understand the nuance. Certain things you say and don't say. Terminology is really big. If somebody says, oh, you're in the bunker or you're in the sand trap, well, it like, you get the, you know, people who watch the sport who will go be, oh, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh, he's out at home base. No, it's home plate. You know, silly things like that. But the more you're around people who love the sport and they're almost watchdogs, lifeguards for it, that'll help you, I think was beautiful.
Adam Lefkoe
I appreciate you, Dan. And hey, Caitlin Clark, mvp, baby. We got it this year, Dan.
Dan Patrick
This is the year you think she's finally going to get the credit that she's due.
Adam Lefkoe
I just wish people would pay more attention, you know, I just feel like they need to watch her.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I know, I know.
Adam Lefkoe
I don't know where they're going to watch her or find her. I don't know if she's got any national TV games, but she deserves.
Dan Patrick

Adam Lefkoe
Thanks for taking my call this morning, dan. Appreciate it. 5, 11 and a tone 165 so I've been with my girlfriend for about seven months now, and things have been going great. We've been active and all that. And I wake up and from time to time, there's been talk about going back to our celibate ways before we get married. And we haven't taken that on. But this morning she wakes up and she says is like, mike, I think we need to become celibate until.
Dan Patrick
Until we get married.
Adam Lefkoe
And I was taking it really hard, and I was like, all right, I'm gonna do this for my girlfriend. And then. And then as she gets ready and goes out the door and she's like, by the way, April Fool's on the celibacy. Oh, thanks. Well done.
Dan Patrick

Adam Lefkoe
Thanks for taking my call. DP A. That's a the real deal in the Coastal Carolina freebies. No April Fools there. But it is more credible being close to the coast than in the toddler being the king of comedy.
Dan Patrick
Okay, so Coastal Carolina is closer to the coast than Todd is to the king of comedy. All right. Yeah. We were talking about coastal Carolina, where you go to their football games and all the snacks are free. Sodas, hot dogs, nachos, unlimited popcorn, beer. You still have to pay for certain other specialty items. And we thought, wait a minute. You know, you get about 21,000 for each home game. That's a lot of snacks that you're handing out. But then Seaton pulled the curtain back and he's like, oh, you know, they probably get you on an app and then all of a sudden, you know, they monetize that somehow. I don't know if that's the case.
Adam Lefkoe
Or not, but the story was definitely.
Dan Patrick
Like, every time you go up there, you have to use this app. And we're going to release that app eventually. I'm like, well, there's got to be some kind of data play there. Yeah. Yeah, maybe so. Yeah. Paul.
Adam Lefkoe
I wonder if that will catch on. People like to imitate other schools. Will other schools say, look what they're doing?
Dan Patrick
I don't think Ohio State and Michigan or do that for 100,000 people. Tennessee, everything's free. Do you have treadmills there? Like, do you have health experts there?

The Dan Patrick Show – Hour 2 Summary: Featuring Albert Breer and Adam Lefkoe
Release Date: April 1, 2025
In this engaging episode of The Dan Patrick Show, hosted by Dan Patrick and featuring NFL insider Albert Breer and NBA analyst Adam Lefkoe, the conversation delves into the latest developments in sports, including the thrilling conclusion of the women's college basketball season, pivotal NFL rule changes, and the dynamics of NBA team strategies leading into the playoffs. Throughout the episode, listeners are treated to insightful analyses, expert opinions, and lighthearted banter, enriched with notable quotes from the hosts and guests.
The episode kicks off with a focus on the culmination of one of the most exhilarating women's college basketball seasons. Dan and Adam highlight the intensity and unpredictability of the games leading up to the Final Four in Tampa.
Dan Patrick (00:01): "Hey, all you women's hoops fans and folks who just don't know yet that they're women's hoops fans."
Adam Lefkoe (00:03): "We've got a big week over at Good Game with Sarah Spain as we near the end of one of the most exciting women's college basketball seasons ever."
The hosts express enthusiasm over the competitive nature of the season, noting the high stakes as teams vie for the national championship.
Albert Breer joins the discussion to provide an inside look into the NFL owners' meetings, addressing significant rule changes under consideration.
A major topic of debate is the potential banning of the "tush push" play, a high-scoring strategy used by teams like the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dan Patrick (07:09): "Let me start with the tush push. When is that being voted on? Today."
Adam Lefkoe (07:59): "There's a lot on the table, a lot on the agenda."
Dan Patrick (09:53): "What are the other things that have been or will be decided or voted on today?"
Adam Lefkoe (14:34): "I thought this was like deciding day. That's interesting."
Breer explains the nuanced arguments surrounding the play, including concerns about player safety and the lack of concrete injury data to support a ban. The discussion underscores the complexity of altering longstanding game mechanics.
The hosts explore the recently passed overtime proposal that standardizes a 10-minute overtime period across all NFL games.
Adam Lefkoe (12:02): "It's going to take what's been playoff overtime the last couple of years and make it overtime across the board."
Dan Patrick (12:58): "The overtime rule that was just passed, can you explain that?"
The abbreviated overtime aims to enhance game excitement without excessively prolonging match times. The change reflects the league’s ongoing efforts to balance entertainment value with player health considerations.
Another significant change discussed is the relocation of touchbacks from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line, aiming to increase kickoff returns and enhance game action.
Dan Patrick (49:08): "Touchbacks on kickoffs will now be moved to the 35-yard line after being approved this morning."
Adam Lefkoe (12:55): "They're trying to create more kickoffs and to get more to create more kickoff returns."
This adjustment is part of a broader initiative to make kickoffs more dynamic and engaging for fans, potentially reducing the number of non-play actions at the start of each half.
Breer provides updates on the onside kick rules, noting that amendments regarding their usage outside the fourth quarter have been tabled for future consideration.
The postponement allows for further deliberation and refinement of the rules to ensure fair play and safety across all game scenarios.
Transitioning to basketball, Dan and Adam delve into the ongoing March Madness tournament, discussing standout teams, potential upsets, and player performances.
Adam Lefkoe (16:39): "I was wondering where Zach Eady would fit in there. He played four years of Purdue, two-time national player of the year, got to the championship game."
