Dan Patrick
I'm Clayton English. I'm Greg Lott and this is season two of the War on Drugs podcast. Last year a lot of the problems of the drug war. This year, a lot of the biggest names in music and sports. It's kind of star studded a little bit, man. We met them at their homes, we met them at the recording studios. Stories matter and it brings a face to it. It makes it real. It really does. It makes it real. Listen to new episodes of the War on Drugs Podcast Season 2 on the iHeartra app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Final hour on this Monday. Dan and the Danette Stan Patrick Show. Come on in. Talk some NBA Lakers on the brink of being eliminated. Tim Legler from the mothership will join us. We will give you our best and worst of the weekend. Recapping some of the highlights, we did talk a lot about the Lakers. No substitution, second half. They're going against a young, hungry team in Minnesota and they're going against Anthony Edwards and he's not afraid of anybody. Also, a couple NBA games coming up tonight. You have the Miami Heat and The Cavaliers Game 4, Rockets, Warriors, Game 4 as well. Recap the draft, some of the interesting moves and now the it now it kind of quiets down a little bit here. Now there will be stories that come up and it'll have to do with Shador Sanders. There'll be more people that will probably be more forthcoming with information here whether it backs up what all these other teams did or maybe refutes what these teams did or teams should have drafted him with a better pick, a higher pick than what they did. I just don't understand the Cleveland Browns. And yes, I've said that before, many, many, many times in my life. But you're taking Dylan Gabriel and he is an athletic, decorated quarterback. But if you know that Shador Sanders or the owner likes Shador Sanders, why are you taking the chance that somebody is? And I think that there was word that another NFL team, NFC team was going to go up and get Shador Sanders and that's why the Browns traded up to take Shador Sanders. I don't have that definitive, but I think there was a surprise NFC team that was going to go up and take Shador Sanders. Therefore the Browns went up to get him like they he wasn't good enough to get in the third round, but you're going to trade up to get him in the fifth round. It just doesn't make any sense other than the fact that the owner of the Cleveland Browns probably said, hey guys, I got this. Meanwhile the coach and GM are going, okay, we just traded up to get Shador Sanders. 8773 DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @dp show operator Tyler sitting by. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock stat of the day Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards, the Dan Patrick show. And in case you're wondering, I saw preliminary reports that the second day, third day of the draft up 40% and you can attribute that to Shador Sanders. This wasn't a sexy draft at all, really. It was Travis Hunter, he goes early and then it was who's taking Shador Sanders? That's it. No, there are a lot of great defensive linemen. Nobody cares. Oh, Ashton Genty, he went early. No real good wide receivers, big name wide receivers. This had to do with Travis Hunter, Shador Sanders, and maybe not in that order. Certainly by the end of the weekend it was all about Shador Sanders. And I still think Cleveland was the right place for him. I think he has a chance to play. I think he has a chance to play right away or at least his, his rookie season. I, I truly believe that. And if you're, if you're going to structure an offense that is based around Joe Flacco as your starter, well, Joe has no mobility. So you're not saying we want you to be like Lamar Jackson because Shador Sanders can't be like Lamar Jackson. Your offense is going to be probably structured that you can put Shador in there instead of Joe Flacco. Now I'm not saying he's better than Joe Flacco because he's not even at 40 years of age, Joe Flacco knows how to play the position. But I do think Shedor can play. And if we put the over under of one and a half starts for Shador's rookie season, I'd probably go over. But it's because the sheer attrition at that position, nobody stays healthy the entire year. It's really, really rare. And if 60 plus quarterbacks played, had one start last year, the odds are he's probably going to get a start. It's just if teams really thought that he could be a Pro bowl caliber quarterback, I don't think the awkward interviews, the lack of interest in some of these meetings would have sunk him this far. That's what's interesting because you pass on somebody five times because of maybe awkward conversations. How easy is a football player? That'd be the first thing I would say because there are a lot of guys who played in the NFL who aren't good guys, but they were really good at what they did. And that's what you have to ask is, is he good enough to have this kind of baggage that may not fit in the overhead bin? That would be the second question. That I would have for him. But he was awkward in interviews, entitled, seemed disinterested. Like, those are red flags. I want to know if you want to be great or do you think you're great? There are a lot of players who get to the NFL, they think they're great, and that's when the work really starts. You're great in college, but you're not great when you get to the NFL, you have to prove you're great. And that's what I want to know. That's what I want to see. And I would not be surprised at all if he's really good this year. Not at all. Yeah, Paulie, it's almost like with the NFL, or it is like you're off the field. Baggage has to be off the field. Like you did like a. Something bad off the field, and they'll get over that. You'll still get drafted. You won't fall that far in the draft. But if. If you're considered maybe a possibly bad teammate or bad guy, that's a thing that could really hurt someone. Or that's what appears that's going on here. The collective think of it because, like the kid from Michigan, the cornerback injury issues, you drop around. You don't drop five rounds. Jason in Phoenix. Hi, Jason. What's on your mind? Hey. Hey. Thank you, guys. Yeah, just quickly on Shador, it's like three teams drafted the start of the season, and, you know, if you don't want to go to two of those teams and your dad's saying, yeah, I want to coach. So if he goes to Pittsburgh, someone has one year with him. If it doesn't go good, he's already kind of almost on the hot seat because they haven't had long playoff runs. But why would you. Why would you invite that? You know, it's like. It makes perfect sense to me why you fell like. And then you're not going to want him as a backup because then you still got the circus in town. So it just makes sense to me. I don't know. I'm. I must be the crazy one here. No, I understand it, but it doesn't. I don't rule out him being a starting quarterback in the NFL. Would. Would a lot of these things scare me? Yes. If I was drafting him in the first round, of course, second, even third. And you're right, you don't want your backup quarterback to be more famous than your starting quarterback. But this happened to Cam Newton late in his career, and it happened to Tim Tebow late in his career. They didn't want to bring those quarterbacks in because the camera announcers would always focus on that whenever the quarterback threw an interception or he got sacked and then it'd be let's go to Cam Newton or when's it Tebow time? You just don't want that. And, and I understand that business decision. And that's what it is. You want to make sure there's so many distractions and it's so hard to win in the NFL. You don't want to add to the degree of difficulty. All right, best and worst of the weekend. Let's go around the room. Then I want to play a couple of clips with Bill Belichick being interviewed on Sunday morning. CBS Sunday morning. Todd, I'll start with you. Best and worst of the weekend.
- [10:39]
Paul Pabst
Best of the weekend, the Wild ending.
- [10:40]
Dan Patrick
In game four Saturday night between the Nuggets and Clippers, L.A. comes all the.
- [10:43]
Paul Pabst
Way back, takes a one point lead with just over a minute left, which was their first lead of the game, only to lose on that buzzer beating dunk by Aaron Gordon, tying the series at two apiece. Worse, Shador not getting selected until the fifth round of the draft taken by the Browns 144th overall and the whole pretending to be Saints GM Mickey Loomis.
- [11:00]
Dan Patrick
Prank phone call by the Falcons defensive coordinator son Seaton. Best and worst. My best of the weekend is having the stones to steal those phone numbers and make those prank calls. It takes an extraordinary amount of, I don't know, audacity or something. Or liquor. Yeah, or liquor. Yeah. Yeah, those kids are idiots. But the worst of the weekend is glad you can't take the video, the victory lap and release the video. You just can't do that. That's. That's about as dumb as you could possibly be. Marvin. Best and worst Best of the weekend, the team we're not talking about, the Indiana Pacers. Tyrese Halliburton, 17 points, 15 assists as.
- [11:38]
Paul Pabst
They took a 31 lead over the Bucks.
- [11:41]
Dan Patrick
Worst of the weekend, the Colorado Rockies. They got swept by the Cincinnati Reds. Their record now is 4:23. This season, they're this year's Chicago White Sox. Wow. How many wins do the White Sox have? Checking, because last year's White Sox could be this year's White Sox, too. Or this year's White Sox could be last year's White Sox. Yes, Paul, the White Sox are still within striking distance of them. They're 7 and 21. Okay. Best and worst of the weekend. Paul, I will give you both those. Tony decouple the CBS Sunday MORNING reporter. The interview with Belichick not let himself be pushed around with those non answers. And here's one that's not getting enough coverage. The commanders are going home. The Washington commanders have, have an agreement with the town, the city, the mayor to build a stadium in the District of Columbia back at the old RFK stadium site. They're going to build a whole complex, hotels, everything. They're going to be in the city. That's pretty cool. And I'll go back to and I don't know how long ago this was, but I got information that the now once again, I don't know how long ago this was, but the then Washington Redskins, they wanted to be able to move back into rfk. So this is probably seven, eight years ago maybe. And they but if they did, then they had to give up the nickname. They couldn't use Redskins anymore that the commissioner would green light into, back into Washington D.C. but now that's gone. So now you're the commanders. I'm sure the commissioner's like, yeah, go on ahead. Go back in. Great atmosphere. Bill Belichick sat down. He's promoting a new book about winning. Winning. And he was on CBS THIS morning. And there was a moment where Bill Belichick's girlfriend interrupts the conversation. Jordan was a constant presence during our interview. You have Jordan right over there. Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your private life. It's got nothing to do with them. But they're invested in it. How do you deal with that? Never been too worried about what everybody else thinks. Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what's right. How did you guys meet? Not talking about this? No, no. It's a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on. I wasn't interested until they said they weren't talking about it. Now I'm interested. Yep. And apparently according to the New York Post, she interrupted the interview on numerous occasions. It wasn't a one time only thing. But look, I understand this. If you're cbs, I think you want to give the context of what the interview was. Like you sit down with Bill back and forth. You know, it's, we'll promote the book. We get to ask you questions. And then the interviewer, Tony, wants to stray a little bit over here because that's where you're going to get headlines. Not really talking about Bill's ability to win games, although the other part of this is that what he had to say about not acknowledging his former owner, Robert Kraft. I have to ask about Robert Kraft because 24 years together, six Super Bowls. Unless I'm wrong, he's not in this book. How come he's not? Well, again, it's about my life lessons in football, and it's really more about the ones that I experience directly. He's not even in the acknowledgment section. Correct. Do you feel like you were treated with dignity and respect when you were let go by Robert Kraft? Yeah. Well, it was a mutual decision for that to. For us, the part ways. No, Bill, it wasn't. It's never mutual. It's just not. It becomes mutual after your. Somebody says, hey, we're gonna. We're gonna let you go. Well, wait a minute. I'd like to stay. No, I think you would like to go. It's mutual. Okay. I guess it's mutual. It wasn't. They. They moved on from it. They had taken away a lot of his power over the last decade. Robert Kraft and his son. Yes. I think there's room for mutual. I think you come around mutual. I once quit a job, and I walked into my boss's office. I was like, hey, just letting you know I'm putting my two weeks in. He goes, why don't you just leave now? And I was like, perfect. Great. He's like, I'll pay you for the two weeks. Why don't you just leave now? I was like, great. That felt really mutual. I pulled the trigger first, but he was definitely like, why wait the two weeks? Just go now. Do you think Bill Belichick went to Robert Kraft and goes, you know what? I think it's time for me to leave. You know, I feel like maybe I can coach a college football team. I think that he was probably like, here's what I need. And if that doesn't happen, I don't know how interested I am in being here anymore. I think he got let go, but he didn't even acknowledge him. Like, the acknowledgment is where you. You know, random people. You would think a guy who did help you build this roster would have gotten an acknowledgment there. So. But as far as his girlfriend being involved in this, she's a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, and I guess there was a. An Instagram photo that they met in February of 2021, and he autographed a book for her. And then last June, they were on his yacht in Nantucket. Old Bill Belichick would have been on A boat, new bills. On a yacht. Yeah. Living that yacht life, huh? Yeah. He would have been in a. Like a kayak or something. Exactly. Boston Whaler. Yeah. Oh, okay. Old school. Yeah. You know, but when you're talking to, like, a news person, it's. It's just different than if he's talking to, you know, Mike Florio or, you know, Adam Schefter. But if. If you get that opportunity, this is part of the story. Now, I know it's not part of the book, but it is part of you and what you're doing now. You want publicity for North Carolina, and she plays a real active role here. I. I don't think it's off limits to say, what role does your girlfriend play with your football team? What is her title? But she's over on the side. And I'm trying to think if this ever happened to me. It didn't. It almost happened with Sammy Sosa in spring training because Cubs PR Was there and she wanted to shut down some questions about steroids. But I just stayed in the batter's box. I'm like, nap. I'm here. I gotta ask these questions. And when I left, let's just say I was in the garage and I could hear a conversation that was going on in the house. The level was a little loud, let's put it that way. But as far as somebody saying, we're not going to talk about that, I don't. I don't know. Do we not mid interview? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah. Paulie, we've had some pretty big names on, like, a Tom Cruise. Took Fritzi, like, six months, and there are occasionally some. Well, he'd prefer not to talk about this and that, but not a mid interview interruption. Well, a lot of times if they say, well, he doesn't want to talk about that. Well, when you tell me he doesn't want to talk about that, then I want to talk about that. And if I would have been told, let. Let's say I'm part of the CBS this Morning crew and I'm doing the interview, and they say, no person. I'm guessing. Guessing that she would have had a preemptive strike to say, no personal questions. Right. But North Carolina PR should be doing this. But this is Bill. A book that has nothing to do with North Carolina. But I'm guessing, as controlling as she appears to be, that she would have said, I'm not involved in this. I'm not involved in your questions there. But it's good tv. I liked it. I'm like, I'll be damned. Look at that. They included this because sometimes they'll be fair and they don't want to show this. But if she's part of the, she was part of the interview, part of the experience. All right. More phone calls coming up. Best and worst of the weekend 877 3d P Show.

This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.
- [25:03]
Dan Patrick
Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. One of the youngest teams in the playoffs, the Oklahoma City Thunder. They get more rest as they move on from Memphis. I like how John Moran said if he didn't get injured, he had figured out how to beat okc. I guess we're just gonna have to take your word on that. We'll get some more Phone calls coming up. 877-3-DP-SHOW Email address dpdanpatrick.com Tim Legler, one of the great shooters in NBA history, on the call for Celtics Magic on Friday, as well as the Knicks and the Pistons Game four. And he has a podcast, All City NBA Podcast. We'll talk about that in a moment. Legs, good to talk to you. Before you knew the end result. If I would have told you the Lakers will not substitute in the second half of the Minnesota game, they will play their starting five and nobody else will come in on the road after they had, what, one day of rest in between games three and four, you would have said, what, no shot of winning the game?
- [26:10]
Paul Pabst
Because if you told me, first of all, if you tell me something like that, I'm going to say, well, that's not going to happen. It's impossible. It's never happened. I've never heard of such a thing. That's. That would have been my first answer. So this is a crazy hypothetical you're throwing at me. But if then I thought to myself, well, you know, maybe this could happen, I would think they must be in dire straits. There has to be some reason why you'd be pushed to an extreme measure like that. And anyway, you slice it against a team as good defensively as Minnesota is capable of being, to think you got five guys played 24 straight minutes, no physical break, no mental break, it's just not a formula for success. I think there's a lot of criticism coming. JJ Redick's way, I think it's, I think a lot of it is justified. It's not just the substitution patterns either. I have a lot of problems with that. The design of that inbounds play late, where LeBron turned the ball over. I don't, I don't understand what they were trying to accomplish by the design of the play, the spacing of the play, and then just a terrible decision by LeBron to fill it to the wrong hand for Luca. But. So I think there's a lot of criticism that's, that's levied against J.J. redick right now. And if they don't come back and win this series, I think he's going to be dealing with that.
- [27:26]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, because I'm looking at the mistakes they made. They blew a 13 point lead. Minnesota's at home. That's a young team. Any team that has Anthony Edwards, you know, is not going to stop. And some of these mistakes, LeBron takes a really deep 3. That, to me, was a bad shot. Even if he makes it, it's still not a high percentage. The inbounds pass is lazy. Then you know, he commits the foul on Anthony Edwards. To me, a lot of that. And you know that Luke is not 100%, but you're not bringing any of those guys out. I. And you still had a chance to win. I don't think that Austin Reeves was ready to take that shot in the corner, but I mean, the, the margin of victory and defeat at this time of the year, I mean, I was just surprised at how the Lakers played down the stretch.
- [28:13]
Paul Pabst
Dan, listen, you, you could go right now, anywhere in the country and watch it probably, you know, a middle school basketball game where, you know, the five starters are infinitely better than the kids on the bench and they're going to sub. This is a situation with NBA players, you know, millions and millions of dollars committed in salary to the guys that are wearing Lakers uniforms sitting there. And you can't go to any of those guys an entire second half of a playoff game with really your season on the brink. Not, you know, I'm not going to completely write them off because they've got Luka and LeBron. Let's face it, at the end of the day, they've got two of the most special players in the league. So this is one situation where three. One. I don't, I'm not ready to put this to bed yet. Think they go home and win game five, you know, and now you're getting to a situation. Can you win a road game? To force that game seven back in your place, I don't know. But to think that you couldn't have the faith or confidence to go to anyone else on your roster besides those five guys, it's really mind boggling to me. And does it play into the decision making? Possibly. Does it play into that three you mentioned by LeBron? I'm glad you brought it up because. Because I should have. I was remiss of not mentioning that too. That's a horrible shot. You're seven seconds on the shot clock. He takes a 30 foot three and if you watch the possession, nobody moved. There was not a single cut screen, no action whatsoever. They came down, held the ball for a little bit, swung it to LeBron and he just pulled it after he had played 23 consecutive minutes. And it look he's better from the three than he's ever been. That shot was Steph Curry range. That's not his wheelhouse. So was that a fatigue thing? Physically, mentally, Possibly. The inbounds play, like I said, the construct of the play was terrible. Three guys breaking to the ball within 10ft of each other with their defender. So you got six bodies within 10ft of each other, all coming to the corner of this by the sideline where the half court acts as another barrier. If you catch it in the front court now, they could have run someone into the backcourt. That would have been nice. Or at least have one guy breaking to the ball so he's got an opportunity to just push off and catch. Was so congested. And then LeBron makes a terrible decision that the pass has to go to Lucas left hand. Jade McDaniels is on Luka's right side. He's, he's hedging him over there and LeBron throws it to that side. So is that a mental fatigue? He's too good a player, he's too smart to make that mistake. So I don't know what all played into it, but you can't tell me that it couldn't have factored in when those guys hadn't had a break physically or mentally for an entire half of a must win game. That, that's shocking to me.

Dan Patrick
What did you see on that last play with the Pistons and the knicks with Hardaway Jr. You know, my vantage.
- [31:04]
Paul Pabst
Point calling the game, Dan, was tough because it was across the court, all the way in the, in the corner to my right, all the way across the court with a lot of bodies over there. So the shot goes off and I couldn't, we couldn't see it. Until we saw the replay. Once I saw the replay, I believe I said on the air, my last comment on it was, you know, there's no doubt shooters typically are going to get that call. But then I went on to say, but at the same time, there was almost nothing called in the second half of that game on shooters, very little. I mean, the third quarter of that game I made a joke that you would have a hard time convincing me that Navy SEAL training was more arduous than getting to the rim in the third quarter of that game because they just, there was nothing was play on. By the way, I love it. I mean I was, the 90s was when I played. I love that style of basketball. Now here's the thing though. On the shooter from a 24 foot shot, you've got that guy's got to be protected more than a driver. And so to get bumped on your shooting side absolutely enough to make it the shot unmakeable and should have been called. And as you can see, the officials immediately said it. They didn't even wait for the two minute report. They said it. Once they got to the locker room and saw the play because they wanted to immediately put it out there, we blew it. Now that doesn't help Pistons fans because you'd have a 2, 2 series going back to New York and the Pistons have played very well in Madison Square Garden in this series.
- [32:31]
Dan Patrick
Talking to Tim Legler, ESPN NBA analyst, former NBA player. When you won the three point shooting contest, Larry Bird, was he out of the NBA?
- [32:42]
Paul Pabst
Yes, he was.
- [32:43]
Dan Patrick
Okay. How do you think you would have done against Bird?
- [32:49]
Paul Pabst
Well, I hate to say it, but if Larry Bird walked in the locker room and guaranteed a victory in that competition and I was sitting in the locker room, I probably would have had something to say back to him. Listen, I think everybody, everybody that participates.
- [33:01]
Dan Patrick
Are you sure you would have said something at the time to Larry Bird?
- [33:06]
Paul Pabst
Probably not. He was my child, he was my idol in high school, college. So probably you're probably right. No, but it may have made me, it may have made me even more because of how badly, you know, how much better the story would have been then. You know, I was just so happy to win it and know that my name was going to go on a list with that guy, like of guys that won the competition. So. Yeah, but like I think anybody that's participated in that probably believes that they would beat anybody that's ever done it.
- [33:38]
Dan Patrick
How many teams can win the title?
- [33:42]
Paul Pabst
Well, I said going, I said going in to the postseason or not the postseason. With about a month to go, I said, one of these three teams is winning a title and you're not going to convince me. It could possibly be anybody else. That was okc, Boston and Cleveland. To me, those three teams lapped the field this year in the NBA. They were that much better than everybody else. The one X factor out there was the Lakers, because, you know, adding this player and what that ultimately was going to look like. And their defense took major strides. Before that LeBron injury late in the year, their defense had taken major strides. They were figuring out how to protect Luka. And then you just have two guys that have an answer for everything on the court offensively, with their scoring, their playmaking, and their iq. So I thought, you know, I can't rule them out. To me, those other three teams have been so much better than the rest of the league, and you rarely see it to that extent. So Oklahoma City for me has been the best team I've seen all year. When they play their best, they are the best team. But look, Boston is obviously right there. And then the Cavs have been great. I just don't know if the Cavs ultimately will be able to get past Boston.
- [34:55]
Dan Patrick
Let me go back to the Lakers situation. It just dawned on me, you know, here's LeBron, twilight of his career. They don't have draft picks there. I don't know where they are. Salary cap wise, you got Luca for one more year. Could you see a scenario where Luca looks around and goes, do I want to stay in this situation if LeBron's not there and you got kind of the group you have, and maybe you add something, but is it a foregone conclusion Luca is going to stay in Los Angeles?
- [35:27]
Paul Pabst
I definitely could see that scenario. And the main reason for that, he was thrust into it.
- [35:34]
Dan Patrick
He.
- [35:34]
Paul Pabst
This isn't a situation where Luca got to free agency and said, man, LA is where I want to be. You know, that's where I want to go, like LeBron did. And then now you figure, well, he's going to stay there the rest of his career and finish it out. Because he chose that at that stage of his career. Luca didn't choose that. Luca was. I'm not. I'm still not sure. Luke is over the shock of being traded. So he was thrust into it, making the most of it. But when it's all said and done, does he a totally love playing with LeBron? Who knows? Does LeBron really love playing with him? I don't know that either. I don't know how long that's going to last? When is LeBron going to. Going to hang him up? I don't know. But now Lucas envisions himself going forward in the lakers organization, but J.J. redick, who knows how he feels about that, really, he hasn't had a large enough sample size, and he didn't choose any of it. So when you're forced into a situation. No, really internally, the conversations he's having, you know, with the people in his life that care about him. So I could. I envision it? Absolutely. I could envision it.
- [36:44]
Dan Patrick
Now.
- [36:45]
Paul Pabst
I think there's a possibility because of the organization, what it says on the front, you know, their commitment to try to keep winning all the time. They're always going to try to win, even if they're in the luxury tax. Maybe Luca wants to be that the next decade. He thinks, hey, I'm a Laker. I'm going to win titles here. But I don't know that. I don't think it's out of the question. He would look around and say, man, this isn't what I chose. What else is out there?
- [37:04]
Dan Patrick
Unless Nico Harrison goes to another team, and then you have another trade with Nico Harrison as the GM that you can fleece them. Tell us about the All City podcast that you have.
- [37:15]
Paul Pabst
Yeah, yeah, I'm really proud of it, man. We're finishing our second year here. Do it with Adam Orez, who's a Denver sports personality, knows the Nuggets inside and out. But those the entire league, four days a week. And it's real basketball talk like this, like. Like we're having right now. It's not hot. Take ish. It's what happened in the game last night. We're going to break it down, make you smarter. What's coming up tonight? Looking ahead, cover the entire league, especially now playoffs. Great. So it's four days a week. Find it on YouTube and all city NBA podcast or anywhere you get your podcast. I'm very proud of what it's become, and I think if you're a real basketball person, this is where you want to go to get the breakdowns.
- [37:52]
Dan Patrick
It's All City NBA podcast on YouTube, anywhere you get your podcast. Do you think I would have beaten Greg Anthony that day in Detroit shooting three pointers when we were on the floor?
- [38:05]
Paul Pabst
So this shooting competition, did you got a pretty good stroke. Maybe. Maybe you'd have a shot. But I know this. If you decided to go one on one, I think Greg's locking you up.
- [38:13]
Dan Patrick
Oh, no, no, I agree with that. I'm just saying, shooting threes. Greg Anthony is a 15 to 18 footer.
- [38:20]
Paul Pabst
Let me ask you a question. You always ask about shooting. Do you shoot anymore? Like, do you actually go to a court and shoot?
- [38:28]
Dan Patrick
It's too easy, I think. I like, after a while you get bored. You know, I used to go, I.
- [38:37]
Paul Pabst
Used to shoot a lot, man. I'm at the point now. I shoot heavily leading up to my basketball camp, so I don't embarrass myself in front of those kids. But I, I just, I don't have the time for it anymore. My knees hurt a little bit more than they used to, so it's harder for me too. But I do know this. If you gave me, if you gave me a week to prepare for anything, I'm still gonna go and I'll put on a good show for you.
- [38:59]
Dan Patrick
So if I gave you a week to prepare for Steph Curry.
- [39:04]
Paul Pabst
For Steph Curry. I need more than a week. You got to give me about three months.
- [39:08]
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right.
- [39:09]
Paul Pabst
Because I might need. If I'm, if I'm taking on a guy like that, I don't want to get humiliated. I'm probably going to need to go maybe get some injections in my knee first. Let's start there.
- [39:18]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [39:19]
Paul Pabst
So I have, so I have comfort and then the rhythm of repetition. Yeah, you give me, you give me, you know, six days a week shooting for a couple of months. I'll take my shot against anybody.
- [39:28]
Dan Patrick
What about Ray Allen? You against Ray Allen right now? Three point shooting contest, man.
- [39:32]
Paul Pabst
That's a good, that's a great one. I don't. Ray looks like the kind of guy that still plays pick up all like, you know, he's probably still in rhythm. I would need less time to take him on. But still, I always thought Ray Allen, for like a decade until the Curry came into the league, I thought Ray Allen was the best shooter on the planet for about 10 years probably.
- [39:55]
Dan Patrick
So, you know, Steph would probably have you.
- [39:59]
Paul Pabst
I mean, if you don't defer to him. I think now you're, you're coming off sounding a little bit kooky.
- [40:04]
Dan Patrick
How about you against Caitlin Clark?
- [40:09]
Paul Pabst
I, I'd be confident in that. I'd be confident in that matchup.
- [40:13]
Dan Patrick
Okay, what if it's from 30ft?
- [40:21]
Paul Pabst
She'd probably get me there now because she's, she's regularly taking them from that distance. If I go and shoot now and I'm trying to impress you, I'm going to be towed up right at the line. I used to be, I Used to be, I used to be out there in that range I'd go to. But you know, I put on. I used to get, go around and visit different camps, spoke at, you know, high school recruiting camps like that and do shooting demonstrations and I'd be out where you're talking about and not miss. Like you go 20 minutes and you're just making everything now it's. You're much closer to that line than you used to be. In fact, you're right on the line.
- [40:56]
Dan Patrick
You're.
- [40:56]
Paul Pabst
It's an Al Horford 3. Okay, let me put it that way.
- [41:00]
Dan Patrick
Good to talk to you again, Legs. Thanks. Thanks for joining us. Tim Legler won the three point shooting contest. Yeah, we were in Detroit, I think it was NBA Finals. And Legs came out and he said, I'll beat you left handed. And I was. It's one of the worst things that has ever been said to me. One of the meanest things ever. I'll beat you left handed from three point range. And I said, I'll crush you. And then Greg Anthony comes out and he starts shooting jumpers. And we were shooting threes and he's shooting like 15, 18 footers. I said, you know, come out here where the grown ups are. And I would have dusted him off from three point range. Legler, I would have lost. Not left handed. He would not have beaten me left handed, right handed. He would have, yes. Mark, does your basketball career still keep you up at night? Yes. Yes. Because when I hear you and I've seen you in person, you can stroke that thing. Whoa, we're gonna pull that quote.
- [42:03]
Paul Pabst
But in my head I'm like, man, I'm sure Dan's like, oh, if the.
- [42:08]

Your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care. On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. Who on that tape were 10 vile.
- [44:07]
Paul Pabst
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York.
- [44:42]
Dan Patrick
City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own.
- [44:57]
Paul Pabst
I wanted to throw up.
- [44:58]
Dan Patrick
I wanted to scream.
- [45:00]
Paul Pabst
It happened in Levittown, New York.
- [45:03]
Dan Patrick
But reporting the series took us through.
- [45:05]
Paul Pabst
The darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carvel. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts, Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.
- [45:31]
Dan Patrick
Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that. I thought it. Oh, this is fighting words. Okay, I put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a best selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George.
- [46:09]
Paul Pabst
That's the reason why they're trying to.

Stop the teaching of black history, queer history, any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box. Black people never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow. Had an odd conversation with Marvin on the flight back from Green Bay. And I don't know how we got to this point, but Marvin, as we're getting ready to get on a flight from Green Bay to Detroit, Kyle Brandt is there from Good Morning Football. Laura Rutledge from NFL Live. Urban Meyer was on the flight. Dan Orlopsky was on the flight. Mark Ingram was on the flight. And Marvin goes, if this plane goes down, what's the headline? So I gave him what I thought the headline would be. Todd, I'll start with you. If the plane went down, what would the headline be with the celebrities. I use that in, you know, small lettering or. Well, for me, when or went down on that flight.
- [47:35]
Paul Pabst
Laura Rutledge. Others Perish would be the title.
- [47:38]
Dan Patrick
Be serious, Todd.
- [47:39]
Paul Pabst
You would probably get the headline there. I'd even put you ahead of Urban Meyer.
- [47:43]
Dan Patrick
Seaton Tragedy strikes. No headline like no one name singular. I am. You. No, no, not me. It's urban Meyer and 52 others. Parrish. Yes. Marvin.
- [48:03]
Paul Pabst
Legendary coach, legendary, legendary broadcaster. Among those.
- [48:08]
Dan Patrick
Yes, Paul. If I were on the copy desk, I think I'm going meyer, Patrick. Among 56 dead in plane crash. Because if it's a tie of famousness, you would lean towards alphabetical order. AP style book, Meyer, Patrick. So I, I think you guys would tie. I would, I think it would just be Urban Meyer and other. No, no. You've had a longer run than Urban Meyer. Have I had a better career than Urban Meyer? Yeah. Well, I mean, you've had a longer run. Whose career would you rather have, mine or Urban Mine at all times. You've had a much more. A much longer run of relevance. Oh, that's true. Yeah. First of all, why are you doing this last segment of the show? We should have been running this poll question all day with this. I know, I just. Marvin reminded me of it he said, yeah, we flew back, and you knew it was on our flight. And then all of a sudden, I'm going, what would the headline be? I got on a plane, I was in Chicago, and I'm on the plane, and the last person on was Paul Hornig, who played for the. The packers hall of Famer Paul Hornig comes on. He sees me, he goes, hey, Hornig. 52 others perish on the flight. Remember that, Patrick? And so you can imagine the people who are around us sitting, and all of a sudden he's talking about the plane goes down. It's going to be about the golden boy. He was the original golden boy. Anywho, D.P.
- [49:37]
Paul Pabst
Sorry.
- [49:38]
Dan Patrick
Not to cut you off, but to cut you off. Yeah. In Ohio, who gets the headline? Urban Meyer. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes.
- [49:46]
Paul Pabst
Todd, the headline might have just been gone.
- [49:50]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Actually, the question is, in Michigan, who gets the headline? Oh, me. Are you sure? Yeah. There might be a lot of joy on the other side of that. No, I don't have anything. Michigan doesn't have anything. No, I mean about Urban Meyer dying. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. He would not be the headline. You don't think they would be celebrating him dying more than mourning your loss is what I'm trying to get at. So. Yeah. Would it have an exclamation point after Urban Meyer, we win again. I totally misread what you were saying. I'm like, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love plane crash Stare down, by the way. Yeah, I know, man. It's always. And then Todd always goes, I hate when you get morbid. Like, I don't like that at all. That's why I do it. Amy in Michigan. Hi, Amy. Hi, Dan. I was calling about something else, but now I'm laughing because I'm from Michigan and I don't know what I would say to the plane. So I love you. Love the Danettes. I'm calling because I used to teach.

Paul Pabst
And are you going to do the.
- [51:08]
Dan Patrick
Job I hire you for? And two, are you going to get along with the other people I hired to do their jobs? And I think that's what happened in the draft. If you don't have that on either one or some are iffy, then Sanders doesn't get chosen. Amy, thank you. Thank you for the wise words. Let's go around the room. What we learned. Todd, what'd you learn today?
- [51:30]
Paul Pabst
I learned the T Wolves have outscored the lakers in the fourth quarter of this series so far, 105 to 69.
