Main Discussion Points & Key Segments

1. Dan Patrick Show Banter, Listener Calls, and NFL Free Agency

[02:25–07:58, 08:37–18:16, 20:08–20:15]

• Dan opens with a humorous recap of “Meat Friday” and playful shots at last week’s contentious Indian food menu, noting today’s kid-themed comfort food restored order: “Dino Nugget volcano mashed potatoes… message sent loud and clear.” (02:25)
• Dan and the Danettes react to NFL free agency, including the Minnesota Vikings' signing of Kyler Murray and trade rumors around Max Crosby. Dan raises suspicion over NFL team physical passing or failing as a negotiation tactic:

  “It's not a pass/fail type physical from what we were told by this former player... he wanted this amount of money and then they were going to fail his physical. And then he said, well, how about I play for this? And suddenly he passed his physical. It's open to interpretation here.” (04:10)

• The group jokes about the impossibility of Patrick Mahomes ever failing a team physical, implying superstar status overrides all:

  “I’m guessing any doctor that doesn’t pass Patrick Mahomes’ physical needs to look for a new job, right?” (05:50, Paulie)
  “Thank you, Jim. Why don’t you head out the door that way and let’s bring Charles here.” (06:01, Dan)

• Listener calls debate NBA takes (is Kobe Bryant a top-10 or top-15 Laker?), defend Bam Adebayo vs. Celtics’ fans, and complain of Miami sports disrespect:

  “Enough of the Miami hatred. Yesterday I heard you guys talking about the Jets and the Dolphins... We cannot be compared to the Jets.” (09:24, Caller: Brett in Florida)

• Danettes rib each other about job security and potential free agency after Dan’s eventual retirement:

  “Anybody who calls and asks to host the Dan Patrick Show when Dan retires, I would immediately put them in the no column.” (17:56, Jim Schmuckatelli)

---

2. NBA Update – Record Scoring

[06:11–08:37]

• Dan highlights outstanding recent NBA stats, such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 127-game 20-point streak and notable high-scoring losses:

  “I found at least 25 games this year where a team scored 130 and lost. And now we just added the Chicago Bulls.” (07:23, Dan)

---

3. Big 12 LED Glass Floor & College Basketball Trends

[24:23–36:26]

Big 12 Floor Controversy & March Innovation

• Dan and Seth Greenberg unpack the backlash against the experimental “LED glass court” at the Big 12 tournament:

  “The problem is the players did not like it and they had it for the women’s tournament, and all of a sudden…they’re going to go back to the old basketball floor.” (25:33, Dan)

• Greenberg credits innovation but prioritizes athlete comfort:

  “I give them a lot of credit for the ingenuity of trying it. I also give a lot of credit for the agility to say, ‘You know what? This isn't working for us. We need to change.’” (26:40, Greenberg)

NCAA Tournament Bubble and Bubble Politics

• Miami, Ohio’s at-large status is discussed:

  “Their resume says they’re not one of the 37 best teams, but their accomplishment says they are. …I think they're playing the play-in.” (28:18, Greenberg)

• On Bruce Pearl’s public criticisms (and his complicated father-son dynamic):

  “Bruce…has a little bit of an agenda. His son is right on that bubble. …Bruce, on the other hand, he’s got to stay out of the way... Your son’s the story.” (29:20, Greenberg)

Is College Hoops Top Heavy? NIL, Budgets, and the Transfer Portal

• Greenberg diagnoses a lopsided ‘haves vs. have-nots’ landscape:

  “Pay for play or nil or whatever you want to call it—rev share and the transfer portal together…it's really hurting the mid majors.” (31:02)

• College basketball budgets have exploded:

  “Last year [top teams] it was around $12 million. Now Kentucky spent $22 [million], but…three years ago it was a million, right? Three years later it’s 12.” (32:56, Greenberg)

  • Predicts further separation and eventual “break off” of Power 5s in NCAA/playoffs.

Prospects to Watch & NBA Draft

• Seth’s favorite NBA prospects:

  “The upside is Darren Peterson... Acuff is really good. He plays at his own pace. Reminds me of Damian Lillard... The Baz's reminds me of Tracy McGrady.” (34:38)

• On “gym rat” vs. pure talent question with Peterson:

  “I don’t know if he loves playing. …Some guys are really good, but that doesn’t mean they really love playing.” (35:19, Dan)

Bam Adebayo’s 83 Points vs. Kobe’s Legacy

• Dan asks if Adebayo’s historic scoring feat deserves an asterisk.

  “It’s not what Kobe did, but it’s an incredible accomplishment and I like it for Bam... he’s a blue-collar, grind-it-out, compete-every-day, all-about-the-team...” (36:55, Greenberg)

4. Oscars Odds – Predictions and Industry Chatter

[41:20–49:10]

• Dylan (Danette & gambling aficionado) breaks down the Oscars betting lines:
  • Best Picture:

    “One Battle After Another, minus 400. Heavy favorite.” (42:10, Dylan)

    • Dan: “Had to watch Sinners again to realize how great it was…16 noms, as we like to say.” (42:24)
  • Best Actor:

    “Michael B. Jordan, Sinners -185, followed by Chalamet, +150.” (44:19, Dylan)

    • Dan: “I think Michael B. Jordan’s going to win. Yeah, I think so. I mean, he played two characters. …He’s got two chances to win.” (44:53)
  • Supporting Actor:

    “Sean Penn is -350 to win it.” (47:59, Dylan)

    • Dan: “He’s gonna win the Academy Award. It was like…Larry Bird three-point contest. I just walked off the floor.” (48:13)
  • Amusing asides about award-worthy performances (“Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon… some of the best acting I have seen in a long, long time” (46:54, Dan)) and questions about what is or isn’t a “sports movie” or how Hollywood approaches these categories.
  • Playful banter on the definition of "a sports movie" and whether movies like "Marty Supreme" or "Die Hard" count.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• ”I know you guys are embracing this. At least I know Todd is. Todd’s very, very happy with this menu. Who has it better than we do? Nobody.” (02:35, Dan Patrick, on Meat Friday returning to basics)
• ”Anybody who calls and asks to host the Dan Patrick Show when Dan retires, I would immediately put them in the no column…there’s a new show after that called the Charles and Jim Schmuckatelli Show.” (17:56, Jim Schmuckatelli, poking fun at succession plans)
• “It's not a pass/fail type physical... he wanted this amount of money and then they were going to fail his physical. And then he said, well, how about I play for this? And suddenly he passed his physical. It's open to interpretation here.” (04:10, Dan Patrick on NFL negotiating tactics)
• "Pay for play or nil or whatever you want to call it... it's really hurting the mid majors. It's just the way it is. It's the cost of doing business." (31:02, Seth Greenberg)
• “I give them a lot of credit for the ingenuity of trying it. I also give a lot of credit for the agility to say, ‘You know what? This isn't working for us. We need to change.’” (26:40, Seth Greenberg on the Big 12’s LED court experiment)

[Dan Patrick]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on FOX Sports Radio Hour 2 on this meat Friday. And it's the return of Dylan as our chef trying to recover from last year's or last week's revolt on a Meat Friday. Maybe the most controversial Meat Friday that we've had in the show's history, Indian food. But today he came back with a kid's menu. We have the Dino Nugget volcano mashed potatoes and gravy lava chicken fingers with a barbecue dipping fountain. The SpongeBob Mac and Cheese cut up hot dogs and sippy cups with chocolate milk. Message sent loud and clear to the Danets. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. I keep thinking there's a pause in there that nobody's gonna say nobody. But no, you guys are embracing this. At least I know Todd is. Todd's very, very happy with this menu. All in 877-3-DP Show Email Address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter Handle At DP show we will look ahead to Selection Sunday with Seth Greenberg from the Mothership. He'll join us coming up in about 20 minutes. In an hour from now, Bam Adebayo, the Miami Heat forward, he will join us. And former Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim as well. The Vikings, as expected, brought in Kyler Murray. It's a one year deal. Free agency week is wrapping up and proved to be pretty exciting there, certainly with what happened with Max Crosby. Now I've seen a couple of reports that there are still some teams that are probably trying to swoop in and get Max Crosby. We heard from a former player yesterday who said that you can fail somebody fail their physical if maybe things aren't working out your way with the amount of money you want to pay. And I don't want to mention who the person is, you know, the it's not a pass fail type physical from what we were told yesterday by this former player. And it's basically he wanted this amount of money and then they were going to fail his physical. And then he said, well, how about I play for this? And suddenly he passed his physical. It's open to interpretation here. And with Max Crosby, is he going to be able to pass a physical? What happens when he gets traded? He goes to another team and passes the physical. Is that going to raise flags with what happened in Baltimore? Yes. And that's where I, if I'm the commissioner, I at least have to explore this. I at least have to make a phone call just to do my due diligence on. Is everything on the up and up with this situation? But from what we've heard, you know, we're not quite sure about that. Patrick Mahomes, coming from back from knee surgery, what if the Kansas City doctor says, man, I don't know, I don't know if I'm going to pass that physical? Of course he's going to pass the physical because he's Patrick Mahomes. But Max Crosby, is he going to pass the physical with the Raiders when he went back? Does he ever take a physical as well? I mean, it's still. There's still a lot to be learned or explored, I think, with this situation. Yes.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

I'm guessing any doctor that doesn't pass Patrick Mahomes is physical needs to look

[Paulie]

for a new job, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yes. You keep finding somebody who is going to say, no, no, the knee looks good.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

Thank you, Jim. Why don't you head out the door that way and let's bring Charles here.

[Paulie]

He can walk in with no knee and I pass him.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. Looks good. Charles, what do you think? What do you think of his knee? Looks good to me.

[Seth Greenberg]

Strong.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Very successful. Yeah. Shouldn't we do an X ray and an mri? No, no, I'm looking at it. Looks good to me. Yeah. Wait, which one did he have the surgery on? Just so I have the. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Looks good to me. Yes, sir. Thumbs up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what happens if Max Crosby gets traded and all of a sudden he passes the physical? What does that say then about either that team who signs off on it or the Ravens who said he's not going to pass the physical? It's open to interpretation. It's not a. You either pass the physical or you don't. 8 7, 7, 3 DP show email address [e-mail] Twitter handle @DP Show Shea Gilgis Alexander. He surpassed Wilt Chamberlain in the consecutive games, scoring at least 20 points. He ended up with 35. So that's 127 consecutive games with at least 20. Luca went for 51. All five starters scored in double digits. And the Lakers starters combined for 137 points. That's the most by a starting lineup in a regulation game since 1970. Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards for the Dan Patrick show. And the Lakers playing some shutdown defense. They held the Bulls to 130 points. You know, I was tabulating that yesterday where I found at least 25 games this year where a team scored 130 and lost. And now we just added the Chicago Bulls. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie Nuggets 1, 136, 101 yesterday. And the Magic 136, 101. So there's a couple more.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I'm talking about teams that score 130 and lose.

[Paulie]

Yeah, the Wizards had 131 in a loss to the Magic and The Nuggets had 131 in a loss to the Nuggets.

[Dan Patrick]

Run that by me again.

[Paulie]

The Spurs. Yeah, The spurs had 131 points and a loss to the Nuggets. So teams that scored 130 and lost.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right. So we had three teams that had at least 130 and lost last night.

[Dylan]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Couple of phone calls. Jim in Omaha. Hi, Jim. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, thanks for calling me back, Dan. Appreciate it. I'm a die hard Celtics fan and bam. Out of bio. Seems like a legitimately good player.

[Dan Patrick]

Great guy.

[Caller]

The problem isn't substra or him. The problem is the Washington Wizards and franchises like that. Second point, Paul is lying when talking about the Dino Nuggets. No, it's cut up dinosaurs. Todd may have been the snarkiest, funniest thing I've heard in months. Thanks for what you do. I'm gonna miss you guys.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Jim. Well, we're around for two more years. Brett in Florida. Hi, Brett. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, D.P. how you doing? Just wanted to send Seaton. I'm sending you a scarf, just so you know. So we're adding that to the whole thing. Shalom, Fritzi. Love you, plaid God. Paulie, I got a question for you and Marvin. Your intelligence in NBA basketball is beyond me. I don't understand it. Enough of the Miami hatred. Yesterday I heard you guys talking about the jets and the Dolphins.

[Dan Patrick]

Come.

[Caller]

I know we had. We were in the playoffs just recently. We cannot be compared to the Jets. Then we go on and we go about Pam's 83. Do we realize that the Wizards are tanking? Do we realize that Bam had like you said, thank God you mentioned this that he had 60? I just feel like South Florida is getting a lot of hate. We're getting rained on right now. I mean, God bless you guys. I mean this is enough is enough.

[Dan Patrick]

You're what?

[Caller]

I'm not taking any apology. I will apologize to absolutely nobody.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Brad. Yes, Conor McGregor. I apologize to no one. Who has more wins this next season, the jets or the Dolphins? Who wants a piece of that bet? Didn't I have the jets and the Raiders yesterday? I don't know what the over unders are. They can't be too far off. It's got to be probably four and a half, maybe five and a half at most. Can we see what DraftKings has for Raiders, jets and the Dolphins over unders? Let's see. Ron In California. Hi, Ron. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Dan? Long time listener. Hope you're having a great day. So I've been a long time Laker fan and let's dispute this. They want to put. And I love Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson better than Kobe Bryant. Kareem Abdul Jabbar better than Kobe Bryant. Will Chamberlain better than Kobe Bryant, Jerry West. Do I need to go on? Kobe Bryant's amazing, but don't even talk about being the greatest. He's top 10, top 15.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, it's open to interpretation, Ron, because I could say, hey, I saw these guys play in person and you didn't. But nobody wants to have an argument with somebody who's going to do that. I know what I saw, I know what I feel. And I've been watching the NBA for 60 years. So to me, Kobe is a top 15 player. And look, it's an incredible list of Lakers, former Lakers, but it's open to interpretation and I have no problem with that. Paulie, do you have the over unders for the Raiders, jets and Dolphins?

[Paulie]

I do. The Raiders over under five and a half. The jets over under five and a half, and the Dolphins over, under. Right on cue. Five and a half.

[Seth Greenberg]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, all right. So I'm not that far off comparing the jets to the Dolphins, at least this year. And yes, the Dolphins, man, we had big hopes. We had high hopes for them. Playoffs go to Kansas City and then all of a sudden, that was it. Done. Gonzo Garrett in South Dakota. Hi, Garrett. What's on your mind today? What's up?

[Caller]

Man 61 1, 75, first time, long time on the BAM thing, man. 83 has got to be respected. Yeah, you got to think if Kobe was still around, he would. He might have that smug look on his face, but. But he'd respect it. However, look at the disciples of Kobe you have in the NBA. You got Tatum, you got Kyrie worked out with Kawhi. I mean, even WNBA go to InCube as soon as they would get close to that 81. Yeah, you have to think that. That they would respect that. It really is just a thing about Kobe, man. And the fact that he's not here to defend it himself or offer any insight. It's got to be a Kobe thing, man. I grew up watching him talk scene. Grew up watching you. The free agency thing. I think we should put it on here. I'll put it on air. I want to hear some of these offers that the Dan Nets have got. Everyone's got to be thinking about it. You won't be around too much longer, unfortunately, but I know the Dan Patrick show will end with you and they're gonna. You aren't gonna let them ride on your coattails forever now, so. Yeah, let's put it on air.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's hear you. Alrighty. Thank you, Gary. We're not gonna be putting anything on air. Free agency. When that time comes, if the Danets need some guidance, I'll be here, as I always have been. Fred in West Virginia. Hi, Fred. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, speaking of this free agency, I think took us all for a little. Little turn here. I would kind of like to know more about this illegal tampering that's been possibly going on here.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I don't know. There was legal tampering that we've had for the last 20 years here that I was not discouraging anybody. If they found something that was going to help them and better their career, then the Danites were free to explore whatever they wanted to explore. Just. Just tell me. So I didn't read about it someplace else, but I. I would label it the legal tampering if somebody wanted to explore something. Is there anything else that anybody would like to tell me about free agency?

[Seth Greenberg]

I don't.

[Paulie]

That's too quick. Way too quick of an answer.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. You sure it was a small. It's okay.

[Seth Greenberg]

It was just a radio station down in the south,

[Dan Patrick]

and. And they wanted to bring you in and have to be a host.

[Seth Greenberg]

Produce.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh. Oh, no, I'm not doing that.

[Stu Gotz]

No.

[Seth Greenberg]

I was like, man, I just got here.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Seaton.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

I really wish that I could play cute about all this, but in 20 years, I've gotten exactly zero job offers from anyone. Even. Not even. Anyone even, like, relay. Not related to this industry. I haven't been contacted about one single job in 20 years.

[Paulie]

Very coy.

[Dan Patrick]

I appreciate that.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

Just saying if anybody's got any ideas,

[Dan Patrick]

you know, you can hit me up

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

on social just so I can at least play along with this bid and be like, cute. Like, I haven't.

[Dan Patrick]

I hadn't reached out for a job.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

I haven't. But, you know, I didn't even get to do that game. Nothing. Zero. It's been crickets. It's been zero.

[Dan Patrick]

Do we have a new poll question? Who cares?

[Paulie]

I've gotten calls about jobs and different things over the years and in the past year, but more so we get calls about what you're doing and your spot. I would say I field more calls. I know I Do I field more calls about then this. Your seat urine.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, my seat has urine?

[Paulie]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Wow.

[Paulie]

As recently as yesterday, I got a text about your spot.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, somebody wants to take my seat when you. I'm in depart.

[Paulie]

They.

[Dan Patrick]

When I asked about when I. Yes, yes.

[Seth Greenberg]

Marvin, Will this be the Dan Patrick show featuring blank feet?

[Dan Patrick]

I think so.

[Seth Greenberg]

Okay, now, anybody else personally reach out to you?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Okay. Yes.

[Stu Gotz]

Big dogs.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One. One. Yes. Big dog. Yes. Other ones? I don't want to rate the size of the dog, but I'm just saying

[Paulie]

the dog in the fight.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yeah.

[Seth Greenberg]

One's a little puppy. That's no shot, but it's still nice.

[Dan Patrick]

That's. That's. That's true. But, you know, I'm. I'm honored that somebody would want to come in and sit in the seat, keep the show moving.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

It's a very odd thing to me to say. Like.

[Dan Patrick]

Like.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

Like, you know, Jim Schmuckatelli is like, hey, can I host the Dan Patrick show when Dan retires? Like, then it's not going to be the Dan Patrick show anymore. It's going to be the Jim Show. Like, what. How does that.

[Dan Patrick]

I. I.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

Anybody who calls and asks that question, I would immediately put them in the no column. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, because once the Dan. Once the Dan Patrick of the Dan Patrick show retires, then the show's over. It doesn't exist anymore. Then there's a new show after that called the Charles and Jim Schmuckatelli Show. It's not gonna be the. Say, yeah, the Schmuckettes are here with me. Like, you could try all that.

[Seth Greenberg]

It's.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

It's not gonna be the same thing. Anybody who calls with that, immediately put them in the no column.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, I think I've told you this before, but briefly. When Howard Stern retired, they were going to replace him with three different hosts, and one of the hosts was David Lee Roth from Van Halen. I interviewed for the executive producer job to work with David Lee Roth, and once I heard their pitch for the show, I left the building as fast as I could. It was a long, long, long time ago.

[Dan Patrick]

What was their pitch?

[Paulie]

David Lee Roth, a microphone in America, no guests, no callers, just David talking. I go, you wouldn't want to have people to play off David or let people ask him questions about his legendary rock career? No, no. No topics, David. America, good luck. Think it lasted nine weeks.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh. Dee Snyder had a radio job, and I think they were either looking at him as competition to Howard Stern or maybe to replace Howard Stern at some point.

[Paulie]

I think they replaced Howard with three people in three different cities, and one of them was David Lee Roth.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah, that was.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

When I first moved to Connecticut, getting into radio, I tried like hell to get a job on the Deconider show. It was like one of my, like, main targets of, like, oh, that's where I really want to work. It was like an alternative rock station when those still existed. And like, D. Snider was a thing. I tried like hell to get that job.

[Dan Patrick]

We're not going to take it. Yes, Todd.

[Seth Greenberg]

So Paulie basically said bozie. Bosie not. I'm assuming at that. At that point. Ozzy Bozzy not.

[Paulie]

Was he not Deep cut.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, thank you, Todd.

[Seth Greenberg]

Two kinds of chicken.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. No, thank you, Todd. All right, well, look ahead.

[Seth Greenberg]

Dino nuggets and fingers both in the chicken family.

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't hear from you for an hour.

[Seth Greenberg]

Dress it up with a little mashed potatoes and some barbecue sauce, but they'll never notice. Two different types of two chicken things.

[Dan Patrick]

More phone calls coming up. Seth Greenberg from the Mothership as we look ahead to selection Sunday. Is there a chance Miami, Ohio, doesn't make the tournament? We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app

[Stu Gotz]

Stigatz here. I have a podcast empire. It continues to grow and I have brought it here to iHeart. I'm also doing a live radio show from 3 to 5pm Eastern because my wife wanted to kick me out of the house.

[iHeart TikTok Radio Announcer]

Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it.

[Seth Greenberg]

You saw the kkk.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, they was dressed up in their uniform.

and ways to save. If you go back to the COVID year with the NBA and I heard from somebody with the NBA and they said that they were hoping to dress up the basketball floor and they Were going to illuminate that this was going to be the future with the NBA, that they were going to showcase the floor and they wanted to bring more eyeballs to it. And I do believe on the horizon you're going to have, you know, the three point shot line that'll light up or if you make a three, it lights up. I think there's a lot of things that are going to happen. It's, you know, if you go back to hockey, when hockey used to have advertisements on the boards there, I think basketball is going to try to do that. We saw this with the Big 12, Big 12, obviously not ready for that. The conference installed an LED glass court. The commissioner said it's the future of basketball. It can change colors, it can light it for three pointers, provide some bold branding initiatives as well. The problem is the players did not like it and they had it for the women's tournament and all of a sudden they decided they're going to, as they go into, I think the semifinals of the Big 12 Men's Conference tournament, they're going to go back to the old basketball floor. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, how do you replace a glass floor with a wood floor overnight? I have no idea how you do that.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, they probably have that floor in storage and then they brought this other one out in Kansas City so they could unveil this for the Big 12 tournament. Shouldn't this be something they should have thought of in the off season? Maybe get some games on there, maybe let people decide if, you know, they're comfortable with this. Let's bring in our good buddy Seth Greenberg from the mothership. How did we get there with this Big 12 floor? And why are we just realizing that the players aren't comfortable on it?

[Seth Greenberg]

Brett Yormack is honestly thinking outside the box. Thinking, Commissioner. I mean, think about the bright. New York is so far outside the box, the PAC12 no longer exists. That's that. That's how he thinks big picture. He thinks marketing, he thinks branding. He thinks, you know, creating an image for, for his organization. The floor had been used before, but the players are not used to that floor. Obviously this surface was slippery to play the biggest games in those kids careers in terms of trying to play their way to the NCAA tournament and win a championship probably wasn't the greatest decision. But I also give him a lot of credit to have the agility to say, you know what? This isn't working. This isn't the welfare of our players, our organization, our league. It's not a good look. And to be Able to pivot and show the agility to move on and go back to the Wood court, a court that players are used to playing on, which I think that's the biggest thing. You play your whole. It's like. It's like changing the ball. You can't change the ball each and every year. You know, you gotta. You get. You get used to a ball that you're playing with during the course of the season. So I give them a lot of credit for the ingenuity of trying it. I also give a lot of credit for the agility to say, you know what? This isn't working for us. We need to change.

[Dan Patrick]

And I know it's the future. We've seen a lot of these universities where they bring out their own court, but I think illuminating and what somebody with the NBA said, it's going to resemble a pinball machine. Those were the words. And that was back during COVID We haven't seen that yet, but I do think that's on the horizon. Let me give you the full introduction. Seth Greenberg on ESPN all weekend long. College game day, Big 12 championship, then college basketball live Sunday at noon ahead of the SEC championship. SportsCenter bracketology Sunday night from Nashville after the brackets are revealed. Miami, Ohio losing yesterday means what, Seth?

[Seth Greenberg]

They're in a playing game. They're in the incident by tournament. You know, it is really hard to do what they did. Only three other schools ever done it. Kentucky, Wichita State, now them. And if you go further back, you know, you told Matthew St. Joe's team that lost in the first round of that team was ended up a number one seed. But it's hard to do what they were able to do. Their resume says they're not one of the 37 best teams, but their accomplishment says they are. And to do what they were able to do in a conference, as you know then, and such a level playing field, the Mac, I mean, like same budgets, everyone's in a bus, every game's a grind. The arenas have great ownership. I think you've got to reward the accomplishment. I'm not saying their resume says it, but I think that they deserve an opportunity. And I think they're playing the playing

[Dan Patrick]

game, but they're going to give them a playing game that will be a home game for them. It's going to be in Dayton. Yeah, it's not very far. Dry. Yeah, not very far. Drive from Oxford, Ohio, where. What do you make of Bruce Pearl's criticisms?

[Seth Greenberg]

You know, he's kind of walked that back a little bit. You Know, Bruce, I love him to death, but we also know he has a little bit of an agenda. His son is right on that bubble. He wants to see his son get the tournament. There's been a lot of focus on their struggles. Bruce Pearl kind of, and I love him to death and he's a dear friend, but he kind of screwed his own son because when he left and then the schedule he left with and a totally new roster and they weren't going to be last few years arbor teams. You don't lose Jennifer Broom, you don't lose the players that they let lost and then all of a sudden hand it to your son and say, all right, hey, go ahead, go out and win 20 games. Go, go to the Sweet 16. Go to the Elite Eight. You know, he had no chance to really win. Steven's going to be a good coach. He really is. He's passionate, he cares about it. They've got to recruit some guys, but he was dealt a difficult hand. Bruce, on the other hand, he's got to stay out of the way. And I'm talking about a friend. Like yesterday, his whole thing on the sidelines, you know, he's screaming at someone, stay out of the way. You're not the story. Auburn's the story. Your son's the story. Support your son by helping him recruit at the appropriate time. But you cannot be front and center and become the story. The story's gotta be Auburn's team and the guy that's coaching them now just happens to be your son.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I was disappointed watching Bruce. I mean, you know, this goes back to parents ruin sports because they get so involved, so vocal. You know, he should just be sitting there quietly, maybe the way John Wooden used to when he retired as UCLA's basketball coach. He just sat there and watched the game. How many heavyweights do we have? Is college basketball top heavy in this year's tournament?

[Seth Greenberg]

Yeah, I think there are about seven teams. Seven or eight teams that can win it all. I mean, look, pay for play or nil or whatever you want to call it. Rev Share and the transfer portal together, look, it's been combustible. It's really hurting the mid majors. It's just the way it is. It's the cost of doing business. So people say the bubble stinks. The bubble doesn't stink because there's parity within the bubble. So the high majors, more good players are spread out through the landscape of college basketball. So there are more good teams and then there are a few great teams. But what it's done is pilfered all the really good players from the mid majors. Not all of them, but most of them. So we've got a log jam of these teams that are beating each other up in league and ACC, the SEC, the Big 12, the Big Ten. Then you've got a couple that separated themselves. Michigan separated themselves. Duke until the injury the other day separated themselves. Florida has separated themselves. So you know, you've got those. Arizona separated themselves. Then you've got the next tier that are very good because they've retained the right players and fill them with voids. And then you've got a lot of teams that are just, you know, they're good enough to beat anyone, but they're bad enough to lose to anyone. And that's what we've, what we've come to. It's kind of, I don't know, is it a lot like the NFL where they wanted parity, then they got more parody and all of a sudden you complain about parody.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm wondering about these budgets. Jim Boeheim was saying, you know, Syracuse, you know, it's, it's no surprise. The top teams in the acc, they spent the most money and Syracuse and some of these other schools did not. What is the budget for a great or good, good major college team? We know what it is in college football. They're approaching $40 million. Are we at 20 million for the top end schools in basketball last year

[Seth Greenberg]

it was around 12. Now Kentucky spent 22, but last year it was around 12. But if you think about three years ago it was million, right? Three years later it's 12. It's like, you know, like it seems like it's doubling. Now you say, well how is that possible? I mean the total amount of rev share money is 20.5 million, right? I mean I think that's the number allegedly people are supposed to be working on. Look, there's no guardrails, there's no rules. Everyone's going to find a way to circumvent these things. They're going to find collectives, they're going to find real nil deals within their communities that they can justify. That's just the way it is. Eventually the power fives are going to break off. We're still going to have the NCAA tournament, but it's going to be even more of the haves and have nots. I think like the 16 bottom Division 1 schools will be the opening round. That's my thing. And they'll play their way into the main bracket. So you'll get the best of the one big leagues in the field. But if you're an athletic department and you're spending these millions and millions and millions of dollars, you know, here's the deal. You want to return on the investment and that's playing in the NCAA tournament, that's playing in the. The college football playoffs. You can't spend all that money and not get a return. Then all of a sudden, you know, there's donor fatigue. I mean, that's just the way it is. There's donor fatigue. It is real. And like it's great that there are a few programs that have these monster boosters, but not everyone has them. So, you know, eventually I think they're going to be break off and we're going to semi more. More than we're doing now professionalize college athletics.

[Dan Patrick]

Your favorite NBA prospect in the tournament is who

[Seth Greenberg]

the upside is Darren Peterson. In real life, it's, it's a cover or, or D. Bancer and Caleb Wilson would have been in that conversation until he broke his hand. But Acuff is really. Derek takeoff is really good. He plays at his own pace. Reminds me of Damian Lillard. The bads. Reminds me of Tracy McGrady. Those guys are just different. Like the one thing I like about those two guys, they're everyday guys. They're every day just. And I'm not saying Peterson isn't like. Peterson's struggling now fitting in with his team because he hasn't been with his team. The guy's a ridiculous talent because as you know, the one thing you got to do in the NBA is what? Make shots. That dude can make shots.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I've watched him. But I. I mean there's buyer beware because I don't know if he loves playing. Debancer is every night that dude brings it, as you said. Yes. And that's what I want. I want somebody. You know, some guys are really good, but that doesn't mean that they really love playing. They're just really good at it. And that's the thing with Peterson and Bill Self. I'm still trying to figure out and maybe he's still trying to figure out, you know, where are we going with this? I've only got a couple more games with this kid anyway. But I'd. I'd just be nervous that I just don't know if he's somebody who is a gym rat who really wants to be great. He might just be a really talented player.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth Greenberg]

Look, he is really talented. And time will tell. I mean, it's the first time he's ever dealt with injuries, but he is really talented. Dude makes buckets. And I'm interested to see because I think if he's really engaged and he figures out when to be selectively aggressive but they play with him, to him and through him, I really believe Kansas can make a run. We'll see.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I like that. That you know, playing through him or to him because sometimes you act, we ask to a star instead of he needs to blend into what you're doing. It feels like he's in there. Bill self is going out to. How do we, you know, make you happy? How do we bring, you know, you into our system or do we have to play your kind of system? Do you have any problems with the 83 points that Bam out of bio scored and how he scored?

[Seth Greenberg]

Look, it's, it's not what Kobe did, but it's an incredible accomplishment and I like it for Bam and I gotta run right after this, but I like it for Bam for this reason. Bam is an everyday dude. Like, Bam's a guy. Bam's a guy that you can just count on. He's a blue collar, grinded out, compete every day all about the team, works his rear end off, plays as hard as anyone. To me, I'm good with Bam because I know what he stands for and his growth as a player has been incredible. And I'm happy for the dude.

[Dan Patrick]

I know you got to run. We'll talk to you next week. Thank you.

[Seth Greenberg]

You got it. I love to thank you.

I

[Dan Patrick]

got the updated DraftKings odds on the men's basketball title. Michigan and Duke Co favorites. Then it's Arizona, Florida Houston and Connecticut. Speaking of odds, Dylan is here. I shouldn't. I. Did it sound like I was saying, speaking of odd? I didn't mean to say it that way. It's. Speaking of odds. Gambling odds, Dylan, part of the gambling podcast, and of course, the master chef on our meat Fridays. You have the Academy Awards coming up this weekend and the betting lines. Could you unveil that to us?

[Dylan]

Yeah, Dan. We'll start with best picture, obviously, the big one. Does anyone want to guess who has the best odds?

[Dan Patrick]

Sinners. Sinner.

[Jim Schmuckatelli]

I would guess Marty supreme has the best odds.

[Dylan]

Okay, well, the best odds for best picture is one battle after another, minus 400. Heavy favorite.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Dylan]

PTA followed by sinners, plus 275.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right. I had to watch Sinners again to realize how great it was. Oh, I didn't. I. I didn't get it the first time as being, you know, something that's going to get, I think, 16 nominations, 16 noms, as we like to say. I tried Frankenstein, I tried Bugonia, and I asked my wife to watch Hamnet and give me her review.

[Paulie]

You assigned it out?

[Dan Patrick]

I did. I gave her an assignment. I said, you know, it's right up your alley. You know, you love Shakespeare stuff. So she thought it was good. And she was a little surprised that the actress is overwhelming favorite to win best actress. One battle after another, I thought was great. I thought Marty supreme was very enterprising. I thought that, you know, there was a lot of fun stuff in there, how it was shot, train dreams. I tried. Couldn't do it. Secret Agent didn't see it. And Sinners. So. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie, I have a couple of questions, because you've seen a lot more than I have. Marty supreme seems polarizing, and you said the movie seemed enterprising. Is that a compliment?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I think it was an enterprising venture there, doing shot in a unique way. Now. Could have been 30 minutes less. Yes, it could have been, but I thought that it was. It kind of reminded me of the Coen brothers, you know, when the Coen brothers are at their peak and they just give you a different feel to a movie. And Marty supreme certainly felt. Now, is that a sports movie?

[Paulie]

Oh, table tennis.

[Dan Patrick]

I. I don't. I just thought of it. Is it a.

[Paulie]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

It's like, you know, it was Die Hard, a Christmas movie.

[Paulie]

No spoilers. But is there a big event at the end? Sporting event at the end. That is the crescendo of the movie. Yes, that's a sports movie.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Best actor. Dylan, what Are the, the odds here?

[Dylan]

Yep. So for best actor, the best odds. Michael B. Jordan, sinners -185, followed by Chalamet, plus 150, Timothy Chalamet.

[Dan Patrick]

I think Michael B. Jordan's going to win. Yeah, I think so. I mean, he played two characters. Oh, he's got two chances to win. I thought. I thought Chalamet was, was great. I wonder if we get to the Timothy Chalamet kind of blowback of. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we've gotten, you know, we got. The Jenners are involved now and, you know, Kardashians and, you know, it's. Might be maybe some Timothy Chalamet fatigue could set in. I did think he was great. I thought he was, you know, if you said, here's the premise, I'd be like, no, I don't think so. And we went and watched it at the theater and I. I said to my wife, I said, he did it. He pulled it off. He did, yes.

[Dylan]

Dylan, would you say he was better in the movie than the movie was itself?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I probably agree with you on that.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. But the movie was. It was entertaining. And I thought the way it was shot, just that you're making a movie on table tennis and they made it work based off a real, real person. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, two things. Michael B. Jordan's father is named Michael A. Jordan. I just looked that up. That's confirmed. Love that. And okay, F1 with Brad Pitt, the racing movie, is it a great movie or a fun movie?

[Dan Patrick]

I think it's a theater movie. I don't think it's a great movie. You kind of saw everything coming right at you as far as the storyline went. But, you know, it was entertaining. I mean, that's why we go to the movies. You. You were entertained there. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I would say it was fun. Brad Pitt's always good, though.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. He's a movie star.

[Dylan]

That I did. It does have the worst odds to be best picture, plus 20,000. So if you want to really throw Hail Mary out there.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. The. There's a movie called Blue Moon with Ethan Hawke. He's nominated for best actor. It's some of the best acting I have seen in a long, long time. And there's not much to the movie. No explosions, nobody's getting killed. There's. There's none of that. It's just. There is some unbelievable acting, and Ethan Hawke is, you know, worthy of winning the Academy Award. He won't. But certainly it's. It's an incredible performance. And I don't Know how many people are going to see a movie about, you know, before Rogers and Hammerstein, the music duo Broadway. You had the predecessor, was it Rogers in Hart? And he plays the role of Hart in this movie. And he's an alcoholic, complicated role, but if you get a chance, you got to be in the mood to watch it. But Ethan Hawke does an incredible, incredible job. Yeah, Paul.

[Paulie]

No cgi, no car chases.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no, none of that, none of that. Just good old movie making. What else? Dylan?

[Dylan]

This is a big one for you, Dan. You want best supporting actor. I know you have a strong opinion about Sean Penn. Yes. Sean Penn is minus 350 to win it. Followed by favorite Skarsgard. Yes, he is.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. As soon as I watched the movie, I even said to my wife, I said, he's gonna win the Academy Award. So it was, it was like it, you know, Larry Bird three point shooting contest. I just walked off the floor and I said, sean Penny, he's gonna win it. Not exactly. I didn't walk out of the theater doing that.

[Paulie]

That'd have been great.

[Dan Patrick]

But I thought he was incredible. You know the woman who steals the movie at the end of the DiCaprio movie, she's not nominated, but she, she's unbelievable. At the end of the movie. I. But she's got a really interesting name. Maybe somebody can Google that. But she didn't get nominated.

[Paulie]

Chase Infinity, I'm being told.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. She's great. She, she was so good.

[Paulie]

Sounds like a high end credit card. Chase Infinity.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

I, I still haven't. I'll hold my hand up. I have not finished one battle after another yet.

[Dan Patrick]

I still liked it. I liked it. I thought it was really good. Yes. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Well, Thomas Anderson for director, -25.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't. Has he ever won? I don't know if PTA has won an Academy Award as best director.

[Dylan]

Don't think.

[Dan Patrick]

Who, who is it? Tayana Taylor. She was a thing in that movie. She held her own with DiCaprio. Thought that was good. What else? Still Best supporting actress. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Best supporting actress. Amy Madigan for weapons. Minus 140.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. Okay, we'll recap the Academy Awards on Monday. Coming up next. Ten minutes from now, Bam Adebayo will join us on the program.
