Talk some football coming up with a Monday morning quarterback Albert Breer. He'll join us momentarily. Had to wait till June 1st before AJ Brown was reportedly going to be traded. We'll talk to Albert about that. And are the Patriots the only team interested in AJ Brown? I would think the Kansas City Chiefs would be interested. I would think the LA Rams would be interested. But we'll talk to Albert coming up. Stat OF the DAY brought to you by Panini America.

Coming up, somebody is going to make a whole lot of money when the NBA Finals is played in New York. Games three and four and game six. Wow, that secondary market making some money. He is Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback joining us on the program. June 1st supposed to be a big deal today. Why June 1st for A.J. brown?
- [04:18]
Albert Breer
Well, I think it's, it's all related to the Eagles cap situation and you know it. I don't want to bore anybody with the details of how this works, but essentially what doing it now versus doing it at any point over the last three months will mean functionally for the Eagles is pushing $27 million off their salary cap this year into next year and that's something they needed to do because they've, I mean really run out of contracts to restructure. To their credit, they've been very win now the last few years and that's meant Jeffrey Lurie, their owners spending a lot of money cash over cap. Not all owners are willing to do that. It's a part of why they've been as good as they've been the last few years from a roster standpoint. But it does create complications. And in this case, it created a complication where it was much easier for them to deal A.J. brown after June 1 than before June 1. Now, like, that complication isn't ideal for the team, but, you know, I do think, like any good gm, Howie Roseman's taken advantage of it and that it just allows for you to continue to survey the market. And you know, what that's basically meant for them, Dan, is. Yeah, like, this has looked like it's going to be the Patriots, really since the end of March, but maybe somebody has something materially changed their receiver situation. They get to your OTAs and it's not what they thought it was. There's a legal situation, like Rashi Rice in Kansas City, there's an injury somewhere. So there's always that chance that something better comes along for a guy who's been a great, great player for them, you know. But at this point, they've got the framework of a deal in place with the Patriots. The details still need to be hammered out, but I'd expect that it gets done relatively soon.
- [06:06]
Dan Patrick
Okay, but if I'm the Chiefs or the Rams. Yep. I'm curious what the framework here is and can we exceed what the Patriots might be offering?
- [06:20]
Albert Breer
So I think those are two good examples. Right. So I'll take you through both of them. So with the Chiefs, I would say they have a quarterback and Patrick Mahal is making a ton of money. They're top heavy on their cap. And so it's for a long time been the big three for them, Chris Jones and Travis Kelce being the other two. But now they've got a bunch of other guys who are extended as well. Right. So, like that's Nick Bolton at linebacker, George Carloftis at defensive end, It's Creed Humphrey at center. It's, you know, it's Trey Smith, you know, at guard, you know, they just paid Kenneth Walker to come over and play running back for them. So they've paid a lot of guys. They're top heavy on their cap. It's a good problem to have because they're a very good team. But what that means is you need draft picks to fill out the rest of your roster. Right. So, you know, when you're looking for the second guard or the defensive end on the other side of Carl Loftus or your next corner, it's best to have those guys under cost control. And you use draft picks to get cost control. Talent. So I think that's why the Chiefs have been, you know, a little bit, you know, more conservative with their draft picks over the last few years and, and why they made the trade, you know, sending Tyree Kill to Miami, sending Trent McDuffie to L. A, and they've been able to refresh their roster that way. The Rams are interesting because they did go down the road on trade with A.J. brown, and, you know, that happened back in March, and I would say, like, that one fell apart because it would have been contingent on corresponding trey with Devonte Adams. They couldn't quite thread that needle. There was some concern with Brown's knee, but they're going forward with Devonte Adams and Puka Nakua now, you know, presumably eventually on a new deal. And I think that they have moved on from Brown, but that does not mean the Rams don't have a very big swing left in them. It's just that one didn't quite work out.
- [08:16]
Dan Patrick
Wait, the Eagles were going to trade devonte Smith as well? No, no, no.
- [08:20]
Albert Breer
Devonte Adams.
- [08:21]
Dan Patrick
The Rams.
- [08:22]
Albert Breer
Okay, yeah, the Rams. If the rams had gotten A.J. brown, there would have been a corresponding move to move Devon, because, I mean, I think at that point, it's not that they don't love devonte Adams, the Rams do. It's just Adams and Brown play the same position, the same receiver spot, the X position. And like, having two older guys with some injury history together can be a little problematic, which is, you know, why, you know, if they had gotten Brown, if the Rams had landed Brown back in March, it would have meant devonte Adams going somewhere else.
- [08:53]
Dan Patrick
Okay, does it behoove the Eagles to trade A.J. brown today? Or as you said, somebody, you know, Rasheed Rice situation, somebody gets injured, like, it feels like June 1st, it was happening.
- [09:08]
Albert Breer
I know what you're saying. They've waited on this for three months, you know, and. And I think, like, there is a human element to this, too, where A.J. brown, I think, has been a relatively good soldier through this whole thing, knowing he's probably not going to be on the team. And contrary to public belief, he's very well liked in that locker room. He's more popular than Jalen.
- [09:31]
Dan Patrick
Hurts now, but why wasn't he happy?
- [09:35]
Albert Breer
I think what I would say on that is this guy is an ultra competitive guy, right? And I think too often we make the mistake of assuming a guy can be competitive about his team's performance and not. Not as competitive about his individual performance, if that makes sense. And, you know, I think all these guys think about their legacy, their place in the game and all of that. And I think for A.J. brown, like he felt like he was being held back individually with the way that Jalen Hurts plays with the way the offense is built around Jalen Hurts. And I, you know, it's really interesting, Dan, because I thought watching him last year, like maybe he lost a little bit of a step. And when you talk to enough people who have evaluated him, you know, people in the league who've had to compete against him, there's like a little bit of a split. Like some people think he has lost a step and then other people think he looked a little disinterested last year, like the frustration had boiled over. And so look, I, again, I still, he's still beloved in that building, you know what I mean? Like, and a guy who, he was only there for four years, he's top 15 in catches, receiving yards, touchdown catches, all time for them, went to two Super Bowls with them, won a Super bowl with them. So, you know, I, I think, you know, you want this to be as clean as it possibly can be if you're the Eagles because the guy's done a lot of good for you. But you know, based on where he is with the quarterback, I think it's just sort of time.
- [11:11]
Dan Patrick
Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback, I said all year long, even the previous year, like there's something that goes on with Jalen Hurts, like, like there was an undercurrent there and I just didn't understand it. Now I'm not saying he's a great regular season quarterback. I think he's a big time, big game quarterback. He's shown that. But I don't know why there was, I don't know, frustration, discontent, different off. I mean he's had a different offensive coordinator pretty much every year in the last even go back to college.
- [11:47]
Albert Breer
Yeah, the joke about being the Eagles offensive coordinators, you either get go to the super bowl or you're fired, which is actually the truth, you know, over the last, over the last four years.
- [11:56]
Dan Patrick
But I just, I'm just. There was success. I didn't know if there was jealousy. Like, what, what is it that. Is there a central point there with. And is it just A.J. brown who's frustrated with Jalen Hurts?
- [12:15]
Albert Breer
You know, I think it's again, like, I think it just sort of can relate back to individual performance. And I, I do think, you know, like, let's say, you know, you're the guy who is number two in the route or number three in the route. You've gotten open three plays in a row, and the quarterback didn't see you, and you got your hand in the air and you're one of the best receivers in football, and it's like, why isn't the ball coming my way? I think it's stuff like that, you know. Wait, was this structurally, offensively, are they doing. What's that?
- [12:47]
Dan Patrick
Was he purposely ignoring A.J. brown?
- [12:50]
Albert Breer
I don't think so. I don't know. I mean, I can't climb in. Jalen hurts his head. But I know that there was the perception that that's where the disconnect was. And. And again, Dan, like, these guys only have 8, 10, 12 years to play football at the highest level, right? And so I think a lot of them, many more than are willing to admit, do think about, am I going to. Is my name going to be up in the ring of honor? Am I going to be wearing a gold jacket at the end of this? How am I going to be remembered ver my peers for, you know, A.J. brown? It might be like, how am I going to be remembered against, like, the guys who preceded me, like a Julio Jones or an A.J. green or a Calvin Johnson? Am I in that category? You know, and everybody's so focused on numbers in this day and age that, you know, it's like, okay, like, well, like, let's line them up, one versus the other. And if you look at it right, he had, I think 1400 yards are right around there in each of his first two years in Philly, and he was down closer to a thousand the last two. And I think that sort of illustrates what the frustration is.
- [13:58]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, the Eagles don't complete passes. Their bottom five last year passes crazy.
- [14:04]
Albert Breer
But part of that Saquon, too, right? Is like, you have Saquon Barkley. You wouldn't. If you. If you got a Maserati in the. In the garage, you're going to take it out for a spin.
- [14:12]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but I got. I got Porsches. You know, two is. My wide receivers here. I got a good tight end and two good wide receivers. So, you know, whatever I get in the garage is going to go pretty fast. And there's a lot of wide receivers out there unsigned.
- [14:28]
Albert Breer
Yeah, yeah.
- [14:29]
Dan Patrick
Do you see, like, when. When does movement start with those players?
- [14:34]
Albert Breer
So you're talking about like, your. Give me some names.
- [14:39]
Dan Patrick
The, like Debo Samuel.
- [14:42]
Albert Breer
Okay. Yeah. So I would say with most of these, right? And I put like, your, you know, you're Jadevian Clowney or Joey Bosa. Like, it's. I Think what's, what we've seen evolve over the last, like 10 years or so is more often you have these guys that are out there on the market. Like now Tyree Kills coming back from a really catastrophic injury, right? So, like, you got to see where he is physically. You know, Debo's a year older. You know, I, I, you know, I think you could probably put DeAndre Hopkins in this category too. I think, you know, like, the way that a lot of these guys look at it that are older and out there on the market is there's going to be better opportunity for me in July than there is in April and May. And essentially for them, you know, they'll look at it and say, well, all these teams want to look at their young players now. You know what I mean? Like, you want to look at the guy who, and they get them back in April, they get them on the field in May for the first time. They're in competitive drills right around now for the first time. And so, you know, say it's a third round pick from two years ago and he hasn't quite lived up to expectations, but, you know, he was out in California working out, now he's back. That team's going to want to see that player, right? And maybe that team makes a decision at the end of June. You know what? We just don't have enough at this position. Like, that's what the opportunity starts to arise.
- [16:08]
Dan Patrick
OBJ with the Giants. A second look at him and I
- [16:13]
Albert Breer
mean, like, sometimes people like, but I think even like with him, I do people realize how old he is. Like, this is me, his 13th year. He was in the same draft class as Johnny Manziel. And like he's the same age as Mike Evans, you know, and we look at Mike Evans as such an older player. I mean, I, I, you know, I, I think it's great that, like, that Odell Beckham wants to keep playing football. I love that, that he's got that passion for the game that he wants to get back in and he really is going through the process that any other player on the fringes of the league would go through to make it back in. I just think we have to have our expectations under control with some of these guys and what they are now versus what they used to be. And they're, they're, there are guys across the board like that. Like Taylor Decker is another one right, like left tackle for the Lions, was a centerpiece for them over the last decade, was a really important piece to build for Dan Campbell. And those guys, he's not what he was before, you know, so, you know, I'd say it's a combination of sometimes our, you know, the name doesn't quite match what the game is right now. So that's a piece of it. But I think another piece of it is during May and June, teams really want to spend a lot of time looking at the younger players in the roster, see how they've come along, you know, and then I think, you know, most of these guys look at it as someone's going to be more desperate in July or August than they are right now to fill my position.
- [17:38]
Dan Patrick
Before I let you go, this Vikings quarterbacking situation when, yeah, it's weird, Tyler Murray says all the right things and then JJ McCarthy says, well, it's just like we're other side of the classroom. It's kind of like high school. Nothing about, hey, I can learn from him. He's had a roller coaster ride in his career. And I don't, I don't know if this has a mushroom cloud at the end of it of. Or is, you know, Kevin o' Connell going to be tamping this down during the season.
- [18:11]
Albert Breer
I mean, I think it's, it's interesting because I, I don't know that the, the Vikings quarterback situation doesn't line up with the timeline of the rest of the roster. Right, the rest of the roster. And you can go down the list of names, tons of guys either in the prime or the back end of the prime of their careers. Right. So, you know, guys like Byron Murphy and Andrew Van Kinkel and obviously offensively you've got Justin Jefferson. Jordan Addison is close to the end of his deal. TJ Hawkins is now an older player, Christian Daras saw at left tackle. Like they're invested in a ton of guys that are wi now players. And so like, I think it's interesting when you bring up like the discord there because last year the intention was to put competition in the room for J.J. mcCarthy and Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold found better opportunity elsewhere to become the long term starter. Like DJ knew if he went to Indy, there's a better chance he was going to be the long term guy there. The same way Sam Darnold knew that if he went to Seattle, there's going to be a better opportunity to be a longtime G guy there. So then they pivot and they decide, all right, like we're going to go all in on J.J. he gets all the reps, the team, his teammates are going to know he's the quarterback and let's see where this goes. And it went where it went. And so now they've created a competitive situation for him in the room again. And like the interesting thing about it is that roster needs to win now. So no one's on scholarship anymore. His draft status doesn't matter. And it's whoever is the best player for us to win right now is who Kevin o' Connell is going to pick for. That's going to be Kevin OConnell's mindset in picking his quarterback now. So it's different than it was last year. They're not worried about the first round investment in the player anymore. In fact, the GM who drafted J.J. mcCarthy 10th overall is now gone and there's a new GM coming in. And so it's a really interesting situation because I think most of us would have looked last year at Minnesota and said that could be a 12 or 13 win team.
- [20:15]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [20:16]
Albert Breer
And like, I don't think very many people are looking at them that way anymore. And what's changed? Well, you know, the quarterback position has changed.
- [20:24]
Dan Patrick
Always great to talk to you. I know you have a busy day today. Thank you, Albert.
- [20:28]
Albert Breer
All right. Thanks, D.P.
- [20:29]
Dan Patrick
that's Albert Breer. They call him Bert, the Monday morning quarterback. I'm fascinated to see Kyler Murray in that offense playing half your games on Aster turf indoors. I, he could have a unbelievable year in my opinion. I, I we might see the true. Now you can go back. He had a couple of years there when he got to Arizona where they were there some really good years. I just hope that he's a student of the game and he listens to his coach and I'd throw the ball to Justin Jefferson every time that I could. We'll take a break. We'll come back with these secondary ticket prices for the Knicks. I think will probably, I was going to say floor you. No pun intended. You see what I did with that time?
- [21:19]
Paulie
Clever.

We're back after this.

Todd
Paulie, a question for the room. If you're a Spurs or Knicks season ticket holder, do you automatically get to buy face value tickets for the playoffs or do you enter like a lottery to buy them?
- [27:25]
Dan Patrick
That I don't know. I'm guessing that if you have season tickets you would get first crack at those tickets. Yes, Dylan.
- [27:32]
Dylan Harper
Yeah, I'm looking on like Nick's Reddit right now and I saw someone said their lower bowl season tickets in section 110 were 900 bucks for finals tickets. So basically you pay that and then if you want to go on and sell them, I think like you said, the Big winner here is these stubhubs and Ticketmasters of the World who collect the fees on those hundred thousand dollars tickets when they get sold. Yeah, it's a percentage.
- [27:54]

So. Yes.

Best and worst of the weekend. The two best. The first one is that the Hurricanes are going bad at a Stanley Cup. The second one's for Paulie. How about PCA with the home run during the overrated chant in St. Louis on Saturday night. And worse of the weekend, even though it'll kind of be a little bit of the best for that Stanley Cup. My first game was in was game one of two. That in 2006 when they went to the finals. That was my first Hurricanes game I ever went to. Worse, I'm taking my 7 month old to her first game ever and it's costing us twelve hundred dollars apiece.

Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. First time, long time. I just wanted to give y' all a pronunciation tip for the state pie of Texas. It's pecan pie, not pecan. A pecan is a porta potty, not something you eat. Praise the Lord. Have some horns and go spurs, go.

All right, that's Lexi. Paula, you didn't know how to pronounce pecan. Pecan. You said pecan.
- [29:35]
Albert Breer
Yeah.
- [29:35]
Todd
So it's pecan pie.
- [29:36]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. So, okay, pecan is a porta potty. Okay. Yes, yes, Dylan, I'm.
- [29:42]
Dylan Harper
I'm team pecan. Also, I know it's technically pecan. It's like when you. It's saying Louisville, but like that sounds nicer to me. Also, I knew someone would call in and say something about pecan.
- [29:53]
Dan Patrick
You did? Yeah.
- [29:53]
Dylan Harper
I knew it.
- [29:54]
Dan Patrick
Well, why didn't you say it before they called in?
- [29:57]
Dylan Harper
Because I prefer to just wait for it to actually happen.
- [29:59]
Dan Patrick
All right. Craig in Virginia. Hi, Craig. Best and worst of the weekend.
- [30:05]
Paulie
Good morning, fellas. Best of the weekend. The intensity and drama on the diamond. The men's, women's, NCAA tournaments. Worst of the weekend. No more Spurs. Thunder. What a series. That Was. But kind of possible poll question, maybe for the last hour tomorrow. Now we're in June. What's the best sports month of the year?
- [30:29]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we do that every year, depending on time of the year. You know, because we talked about March Madness. You could throw in the Super Bowl. March Madness. You could throw in spring training, you know, the draft. Like, there's. I think we've kind of singled out two different times out of the year. Yes.
- [30:49]
Todd
Boeing, North Carolina State University did a exhaustive study of how foods are pronounced in different states in America. And in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, it's pecan pie. Most of the country in the west, it's pecan pie. And then in the Northeast, it's pecan pie. And in some places in northern Wisconsin, it's pecan pie again. All right, so it's all over the place.
- [31:17]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Still.
- [31:19]
Dylan Harper
Yeah. I mean, that's like. There's also, like, regional terms like, isn't soda different everywhere? It's like pop in the Midwest and then soda here and then like, fizz or something somewhere else.
- [31:30]
Dan Patrick
I remember when I first got to New York and I asked for pop, and they didn't know what I was talking about. They go, you mean soda? I go, no, pop. That's what I grew up in the Midwest. Speaking of drinking, World cup is a attempting to reverse years of declining beer consumption. From 2014 to 2024, global beer consumption fell 3%. In the United States, consumption plummeted 17%. So the heavy promotion around the World cup is trying to reverse the declining beer consumption numbers. I'll do my part. Yes, Dylan.
- [32:17]
Dylan Harper
Yes. Anheuser Busch InBev is spending over 110 million on advertising for the FIFA World Cup. But I think a lot of it is attributed to the proliferation of, like, hard seltzers and hard iced teas and stuff. There's like, beer alternatives. It used to be like, you want beer or cocktail?
- [32:36]
Albert Breer
I know.
- [32:37]
Dan Patrick
I have a friend who works in the beverage industry, and he said the shift to like, these no additive gourmet wines, like healthy wines and different seltzers that people aren't drinking. What? You know, we used to drink a lot of cocktails and a lot of seltzers. Healthier drinks for you, which I don't know if anything's healthier for you. I know there are some things that aren't as healthy for you. I don't know if I'd use the word, boy, this is healthier. You know, I. I had a additive free tequila last night. I didn't say, hey, this Is healthier for me. Yes, Todd.
- [33:19]
Sean Elliott
And now there's this desperation. I saw something the other day. Pepsi has pre or probiotics, like it's yogurt or something like that. That's what Pepsi has. Prebiotic soda. Sounds ridiculous.
- [33:29]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Dylan.
- [33:30]
Dylan Harper
Yeah, our, our friend Shane Irving, he smokes American spirits. I'm like, it's still a cigarette, just so you know.
- [33:38]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, this is, this is healthier. I go, no, it's not healthier. It's just not as bad as, you know, a Camel non filter. Yes.
- [33:46]
Paulie
Paul.
- [33:46]
Todd
Yeah, I've got this article here from the New Yorker that says different types of drinks, the cost of drinks and social media is making it less likely for younger people to go to bars.
- [33:58]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah.
- [34:00]
Sean Elliott
Todd, do these companies and products realize when they say now with less sugar or less additives, whatever, basically they're saying they were killing us off all along and all of a sudden now they're worried about our health?
- [34:09]
Dan Patrick
Well, I don't know if they said with cigarettes, hey now with less nicotine to get you hooked on this, you
- [34:14]
Sean Elliott
know, we do less. No coloring, no reduced sugar, all these stuff that. But up until now we were fine.
- [34:20]
Dan Patrick
We were okay with it.
- [34:21]
Sean Elliott
Drinking and eating all the horrible things that you made for us.
- [34:24]
Dan Patrick
My wife was reading, you know, fine print on some food, a package, and she goes, do you want to know what's in this? I go, no, I don't know. I made it this far, hun. I don't want to know. And my, one of my daughters is one of those married to the label. Like do you know what's in that? I go, I don't care if I made it this far, Georgia, I'm going to be okay. Yes, Dylan.
- [34:48]
Dylan Harper
Yeah, also it's like I'm 3/4 away done with this thing. If you wanted to tell me that, it should have been before I started.
- [34:54]
Dan Patrick
Uh, Paulie says we have coming out of retirement news.
- [35:00]
Todd
Okay, I'll give you the hint. Let's see who can guess. After four years of retirement since their last game match event, this person is officially making his or her comeback to the sport. Huge athlete, very, very broad, as famous as it gets worldwide.
- [35:22]
Dan Patrick
So not Odell Beckham Jr. III. Way, way, way more way, way, way. Rafa Nadal.
- [35:32]
Todd
No, but you're in the right direction. Roger Federer, you're on track. Keep
- [35:41]
Dan Patrick
Serena Williams.
- [35:42]
Todd
Serena Williams announces come back to professional tennis. The 44 year old Williams announced Monday she'll be a wild card invitation to play doubles in the HSBC championships in London.
- [35:55]
Dan Patrick
Okay, that's awesome. I could see her playing doubles. I don't know if she's going to be playing singles, but. Okay. Her and Venus. It's Venus, 45. She's still. She looks great. She's probably same shape. Probably weighs the same as she did when she was 25.
- [36:14]
Commercial Announcer
Yes, Marv, the thing about Serena Williams, she was defying the odds when she was like 30.
- [36:19]
Dan Patrick
Because in tennis, you're usually done and having a baby. Yeah. I also saw this. If you have 20 to 30 million dollars and you want to get a Tyrannosaurus rex that they're going to auction off, I think his nickname is Gus, because the guy who headed up the excavation, his nickname was Gus. So they're calling this Tyrannosaurus Rex Gus. I don't know why they don't call him Rex, but they think it's going to be. There's an auction, they think it'll go for $30 million, but this huge fossil, I think it's 63% completed. And, yeah, they got. I mean, it looks great, but. Yeah. Gary, Gus Licking.
- [37:09]
Commercial Announcer
What, he made that up?
- [37:11]
Dan Patrick
No, that's his name. They found it in South Dakota. Harding County. Paleontologist ended up finding this a while ago. But 67 million years old.
- [37:28]
Todd
Doesn't look a day over 63 million.
- [37:30]
Dan Patrick
For 67 million, you look pretty good.
- [37:34]
Todd
But if I'm paying 30 million for a dinosaur, I don't want two thirds of a dinosaur.
- [37:38]
Dan Patrick
Well, that's all they have. That's all they found.
- [37:40]
Commercial Announcer
Come on.
- [37:41]
Dan Patrick
Now, the auction house, Sotheby's, this isn't the first dinosaur ever sold. 1997, sue, the T. Rex went for $45 million. Oh, no, that's apex. The Stegosaurus sold for 45 million. Gus will be in New York City at Sotheby's Natural History Auction, July 14th. All right. Yeah.
- [38:14]
Albert Breer
Todd, I think it extincts.
- [38:15]
Sean Elliott
For the rest of us who can't afford anything like that, that's way out of our presence.
- [38:20]
Dan Patrick
You want to top that, Dylan?
- [38:23]
Dylan Harper
I actually just had a couple facts, but I can.
- [38:25]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. What do you have for me?
- [38:27]
Dylan Harper
Well, I was thinking, I remember Nicholas Cage bought just the dinosaur skull a number of years back for like 300 grand and actually turned up being stolen. I think he had to give it back.
- [38:36]
Dan Patrick
Oh, he did?
- [38:37]
Dylan Harper
Yeah. But if you're getting a skull for just 300 grand or. I know it's 63% complete, but that is one of the more complete whole T. Rexes, I think. Feel like that's worth 20, $30 million if you got it.
- [38:49]
Dan Patrick
But there's a billionaire who's gonna come in and buy it, put it in a warehouse or something.
- [38:56]
Dylan Harper
Or living room.
- [38:57]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, you need a pretty big living room.
- [39:00]
Dylan Harper
Yeah, but that's the. I know. Like, a perfectly graded Mickey Mantle rookie card is in that 20, 30 million range. Which one would you rather have? I'm going full dinosaur, without a doubt.
- [39:09]
Dan Patrick
Wait, Mickey Mantle rookie card? Yeah. 10 goes for 20 or 20 million dollars.
- [39:17]
Dylan Harper
Probably closer to 30 million mark.
- [39:20]
Dan Patrick
Oh, my God.
- [39:20]
Dylan Harper
Yeah. Think about all those ones you put in your bike spots back in the day.
- [39:25]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. But I'm glad I did because I enjoyed them. Yeah. Yeah, I did. I don't know who came up with the get a clothes pin and then put your baseball cards in your spokes and. It sounds awesome. Yeah. You know, I wanted to have my grave, my great cards with me. So I'm writing, and I had, like, a Nolan Ryan card back there. Pete Rose card. Yes, Marvin.
- [39:53]
Commercial Announcer
You had a bike?
- [39:55]
Dan Patrick
I got my first. That was my bike. I was in Arizona, and I got a Mustang bike, the banana seat, and it was green. And I remember I was probably 8 or 9, because all the other years, I would just get what my brothers had. So you'd buy one bike, and it would get to the oldest brother, who then pass it down to the next brother, and then me and then my other brother. After that, my sisters, they got their own bikes. But, yeah, got a bicycle. Had two bicycles in my life, that one. And then the ten speed that I rode until I was 18.
- [40:32]
Commercial Announcer
Yeah, you did.
- [40:33]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Hey, Barb Doria, you want to ride? You want to. Want to go out to dinner?
- [40:40]
Commercial Announcer
Look at the hottie on the Huffy.
- [40:41]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes, Dylan.
- [40:44]
Dylan Harper
That counts more as, like, a car, though, I think, because that was essentially what it functioned as for you.
- [40:48]
Dan Patrick
Yes, it did. Yeah. Yes, I had a. I had a 10 speed. It was. It was yellow all the days.
- [40:59]
Commercial Announcer
There's no backseat.
- [41:00]
Dan Patrick
I'm so spoiled. Yeah. I'm so spoiled. All right, last call for. We haven't even given our best in worst of the weekend, have we? No, buddy. Okay, we'll take a break. We'll be back with that last call for phone calls after this.

- [45:40]
Dylan Harper
Yeah, Dan? Who do you think is going to win the NBA Finals? 69% say the Spurs.
- [45:46]
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right. Anything else?
- [45:49]
Dylan Harper
Who do you want to win? Okay, 57% say the Spurs. Oh, surprising there a little bit.
- [45:54]
Dan Patrick
Best and worst of the weekend, Todd.
- [45:56]
Sean Elliott
Best of the weekend. Friday night in Major League Baseball, there were five walk off victories, four of which were by home runs, Pirates and Rockies in nine innings. White Sox and Mets did it in 10. The Mariners win came on a walk off double, also in the 10th inning. Worst of the weekend, also Friday night. Game 5 Stanley Cup Eastern Final. A relative no show for the Canadiens. Elimination game in Carolina. Down three, nothing after one, five nothing after two. They exchange goals in the third and
- [46:19]
Dan Patrick
lose six to one.
- [46:20]
Sean Elliott
Come on, Habs.
- [46:21]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I know. This really bothered Tod.
- [46:23]
Albert Breer
The heck?
- [46:24]

- [46:34]
Dan Patrick
How about you, Dylan?
- [46:36]
Dylan Harper
My best Russell Henley Birdie's final three holes to enter a playoff at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he would go on to win the nice little stretch there at the end. And my worst, Adolfo Daniel Vallejo finds 76,000, which is half of his French Open prize money, for saying that the match he lost should not have been umpired by A woman. Yikes.
- [46:58]
Dan Patrick
Marvin. Best and worst of the weekend.
- [47:00]
Commercial Announcer
Best of the weekend. The New York Yankees scored 13 runs in the third inning against RAS. Worst of the weekend UCLA baseball. They finished the regular season 52 8. Number one overall seed gets eliminated by St. Mary's and they don't, they don't even make it to the regional final.
- [47:15]
Dan Patrick
But did the women's team also get eliminated? Correct. Oh, my goodness. I don't think the Yankees had another hit other than all of the runs and hits in that one inning. They had 13 runs. They didn't have another base. I think they had a. A walk. That was it. Remarkable. Paul. Best and worst of the weekend.
- [47:34]
Todd
I'm going to go with spurs Rookie Dylan Harper. 27 minutes, 12 points, 7 rebounds in the final game. Game 7. But the play he made to keep Castle from losing his cool. What a nice rookie year this guy's having. Somewhat quietly. It's good to see him get his due. I have no worst of the weekend.
- [47:50]
Dan Patrick
Okay, how about this? Dan's worst history.
- [47:52]
Todd
I got that for you, Dan. And let's say a guy you may have heard of, Lou Gehrig. He started his streak of playing in 2130 consecutive baseball games on this date. In 1925 and 1975, Nolan Ryan pitched his fourth career no hitter in just his hundredth career victory.
- [48:10]
Dan Patrick
Wow. Lou Gehrig actually pinch hit for shortstop Pee Wee Wanninger. And the. That was the first appearance that he ever made. Pinch hitting for a little, little peewee. Oh, this is kind of an anniversary for me. 1993, Dan Marley said it then. NBA playoff record with eight three pointers in the Suns win over Seattle, game five, the Western Conference finals. And of course, he lost a shooting contest to me that year. I don't know why it's not in there. This day in sports history lacking. Oh my God, you imagine. And he even jokes about it. He said, I had one of the best days of my career and the worst day of my career. And they all happen in a span of about 48 hours. Yes.
- [48:58]
