Paul Pabst
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on this Wednesday. It was out there with the Danets. We're talking strategizing for celebrity Family Feud. That will be next week at this time. We'll fly to Atlanta and then the show will tape on Friday. And I'm trying to strategize on who's going to be the main guy in the money round there. And I said Paulie would be great. And Paul, it feels like you don't think you're up for the moment there.
Todd Fritz
I usually don't lack confidence in certain situations. I don't know that Family Feud or Wheel of Fortune is in my wheelhouse Trivia. I feel very confident.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Todd Fritz
But I, I'm, I think I'm solid in tight situations.
Paul Pabst
Okay. Okay. Who would you recommend we have in the money round there?
Todd Fritz
Okay. I'm curious if the producers are going to make you be in the money round.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Todd Fritz
They want the star, so it's going to be me.
Paul Pabst
V. Eisen.
Todd Fritz
Yes. And then the next person would be one of us and the Eisent.
Paul Pabst
Okay. Todd, can you handle the pressure of being the guy in the money round?
Seton O'Connor
My answer to that would be, I'd like to think that I can.
Paul Pabst
Okay. But the other thing is, I don't want to hear. I think I can.
Seton O'Connor
I know I can.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Seton O'Connor
But the other concern is, are we jinxing ourselves because you have to win to get to the bonus round. Look, we're already. We're already getting way ahead of ourselves. They don't let both teams play for a big money.
Paul Pabst
Wait, wait. You have doubt about us?
Seton O'Connor
I. I foresee us winning, but I just don't want to jinx it by saying automatically that we're playing for the big money. And which two are going to go? We have to win first.
Paul Pabst
To get to that point, I am packing champagne on the party bus to go to the sports Emmys.
Seton O'Connor
I like that.
Paul Pabst
Okay, so when we come back from the sports Emmys, we'll be drinking champagne. I'm preparing to win.
Seton O'Connor
Todd, that's a fantastic attitude. That's how it should be.
Paul Pabst
It's like in the movie Hoosiers. Jimmy Chitwood said, I'll make it. That's what I need out of you. He didn't say, I think I can make it. I'll try to make it.
Todd Fritz
Bad move.
Paul Pabst
I like to think I'll make this shot. Yes.
Seton O'Connor
When the vicinity of making it.
Paul Pabst
Yes. You know, maybe I'll get fouled and I can go to the free throw. He didn't say any of that. That's what I need out of you. Yeah.
Seton O'Connor
You got the confidence.
Paul Pabst
Okay, but you don't. You're not exuding.
Seton O'Connor
I'm going to change my answer. I want it. I want the ball. I want to guess those clues.
Paul Pabst
Marvin, what about you?
Marvin Harrison
I'm always ready.
Paul Pabst
Your mom and your grandmother.
Marvin Harrison
My mom and my aunt.
Paul Pabst
Your aunt are going to be in the studio audience.
Marvin Harrison
Correct. As soon as they hurt Marvin. I heard you're gonna be in Filmy Feud. Oh, we got tickets.
Paul Pabst
I was. To where?
Marvin Harrison
Oh, we're going to go to. You know, we're gonna go to Atlanta. I was like, oh, people with free time at disposable income. The worst.
Paul Pabst
Okay, but do you want to be up there with your mom and your aunt there under the spotlight where Steve Harvey is asking you questions?
Marvin Harrison
Yeah, I think so.
Paul Pabst
No, no pause. No, it. It took you a little while, and then you. Then you said, I think so. Seaton, how about you?
Todd Fritz
Yeah, sure.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, why not? I'll give it a shot. All right. What's the worst that's gonna happen? I'm gonna get it wrong. Oh, well, big deal. And then people make fun of you. The rest of your life, you'll be a meme.
Marvin Harrison
Yeah.
Paul Pabst
Spent 20 years building exactly that. Your brand. Your. Your brand. All of a sudden, I'm gonna Humiliate myself on tv. Oh, no. Got a whole real worth of that. Yeah. Yeah. Who cares? Yeah. Yes, Todd.
Seton O'Connor
It could be one of those things where name something you wanted a thousand out of a thousand times you'd say astronaut, ball player. And in that moment you say clinical psychologist or something crazy like that. Get zero when you know, you could have said astronaut. A baseball player. And I got 46 or something.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. I would like to have you be our main guy, Todd. I would, because it's either going to be really good or really bad.
Seton O'Connor
Primary care physician.
Marvin Harrison
Should have said baseball player.
Seton O'Connor
Actual player.
Paul Pabst
51.
Seton O'Connor
The first top answer. 51 said baseball player.
Paul Pabst
What do you want to be when you grow up, Todd?
Seton O'Connor
Orthopedist.
Paul Pabst
Okay. Orthopedics.
Marvin Harrison
No, no, it's even worse than that.
Seton O'Connor
What is even worse than that is saying pass. I have no idea. I can't say anything to that.
Paul Pabst
Pass.
Seton O'Connor
Next one.
Paul Pabst
There are times that somebody like this just happened recently. Somebody said like, hey, so what have you been listening to lately? Yeah, I couldn't. If you said, I'll give you a million dollars to name one current band that you like. I couldn't do it. Okay. It's just my mind completely emptied and I was like, ah, obviously I'm listening to Dolce Nirvana. I had no idea. I couldn't tell you one thing. Yeah. Yes, Paul, I'm.
Todd Fritz
I'm hearing you have to present your starting lineup before we head down there. Like the actual lineup of. You're in first on our little Deus there, and then 2, 3, 4, 5. Like a 4 by 100. You have to pick.
Paul Pabst
Okay. All right. I'll be in the number one. I'll be in the leadoff spot, right?
Todd Fritz
Yes, you have to.
Paul Pabst
Okay, I have to be in the leadoff spot. And then who do I want going second? Because really, who goes second may set the tone for third, fourth, and fifth.
Todd Fritz
Or you need a closer. How does it work?
Paul Pabst
Okay, really? This is all about where I place Fritzi. I think that's really what this is all about, because you'll get to the end, and then you're really kind of stretching for answers because we've already taken the good answers. And then I just. I don't know. Yes, Marv.
Marvin Harrison
But when Steve Harvey asked one of those questions we asked 100 married women. My husband has a big blank. And the first person is going to be Fritzi.
Paul Pabst
Attitude, attitude, imagination. Okay, let's do that. We ask 100 married women, and we ask them. My husband has a big blank. Todd.
Seton O'Connor

Todd Fritz
They're pretty loose there.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. Okay. Kristen Stewart. Okay, you gotta train your mind here. You gotta be ready for this. Can't say pass, Todd.
Seton O'Connor
You cannot say pass.
Paul Pabst
Yes, Paul.
Todd Fritz
Here's a sports one.

Paul Pabst
Yeah. Oh, okay. Because this is what Steve Harvey loves.
Todd Fritz
This is what they do.
Paul Pabst
And they need looks right into the camera as somebody gives a racy answer.
Todd Fritz
Tell me a word that rhymes with election. Rhymes with election.
Paul Pabst
Todd.
Seton O'Connor
Selection.
Paul Pabst
Seaton. Direction. Marvin.
Marvin Harrison
Perfection.
Paul Pabst
Erection.
Todd Fritz
Someone has to say yes. Selection was number one pick.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Todd Fritz
Erection. Number two.
Paul Pabst
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Todd Fritz
Selection did not make it. Detection, projection. Rejection. Collection. And section.
Paul Pabst
Paul Goff. Man, this is. This is going to be a lot of pressure, Paul. Lot of pressure.
Marvin Harrison
I need Dan. I need Rick. Come on, let's play it.
Paul Pabst
A few Nick's at the Celtics tonight. Is that your Steve Harvey impersonation?
Seton O'Connor
It's not a good one. That's how it's going to start. He'll bring you both up. You guys are in the number one position.
Marvin Harrison
Give me Dan and give me Rich.
Seton O'Connor
Let's go.
Marvin Harrison
Go.
Seton O'Connor
Put a few.
Paul Pabst
Got a little better. Nick's at the Celtics game. Two Nuggets at the Thunder game, too. I got some stats here. We've been focusing a lot on the Celtics going 15 for 60 from three point range. If I do the math, man, I'm not very good at math. The Minnesota Timberwolves went 5 of 29 from 3 point range last night and lost a Golden State. If I combine that with the game against the Lakers, their last game, where they went 7 of 47. So now that's 12 out of 6. 76 in their last two games. Minnesota, 12 of 76 from three point range. That is disturbing. Oh, yeah. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of this program. A couple of phone calls here. We'll talk some hockey with PK Subin from the mothership. He'll join us coming up. I know it's being labeled a blockbuster. It's not a blockbuster trade. But you know, ESPN Jones, and for any kind of football news. Blockbuster, yes, they called it a blockbuster. George Pickens goes from the Steelers to the Cowboys for at least a third round draft pick. That's a trade. That's not a blockbuster. It's like not everybody in porn is a porn star. There are just people in porn.
Todd Fritz
Porn, character actors.
Paul Pabst
Yes, this is a. This was a trade.
Todd Fritz
Interesting trade, but.
Paul Pabst
But not a blockbuster. Yes, Todd.
Seton O'Connor
When there's a lack of NFL news, something that's not a blockbuster suddenly becomes a big deal. That's just part of it.
Paul Pabst
Thank you, Todd.
Seton O'Connor
You're welcome.
Paul Pabst
Let's see. Damon in Massachusetts. Hi, Damon.
Marvin Harrison
Hello, Dan.
Paul Pabst
Second time, long time. 5 10, 1.
Dan Patrick
86.
Marvin Harrison
And the first time I called, it's actually pronounced demand, Dan.
Paul Pabst
Okay, Come on. Sorry. All right. Thank you.
Marvin Harrison
No, it's okay. It's. It's okay.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, it is okay. If I can get. It is. Trust me, it is okay. Deboned.
Marvin Harrison
Hopefully I can get all this in number one. Yesterday you had the hall of. Very good.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Marvin Harrison
And at the end of the show, you mentioned Mark Price. And I tried to call in. I didn't get through. And I 100% agree with you. He should be at hall of Famer, without a doubt.
Paul Pabst
Thank you.
Marvin Harrison
And have you seen Celtics city yet?
Paul Pabst
Yes, I have.
Marvin Harrison
It is absolutely fantastic as being from just outside of Boston. I learned so much about Boston that I didn't know was born in 76. And it was fascinating to know that Red Auerbach changed their jerseys from Boston to the Celtics because there was so much racial tension. And he wanted to let them know you're playing for the Celtics, not Boston.
Paul Pabst
All right, well, thank you, Dumont. Yes, that was. Bill Russell said, I don't play for the city of Boston. I play for the Celtics. And Red Arbach probably catering to that. And there's a lot there. Certainly Bill Simmons Retracing kind of the racial roots of Boston, how the Celtics were treated, how they were viewed. And there's a lot of, you know, archival footage that's really adds to it. Some great interviews there. And having been there for 83 on, you know, I was there covering now from afar, not locally, but I'm covering Larry Bird's career from start to finish. And it wasn't a long career. I think people forget that. But yeah, I was there when they played the Rockets in the NBA finals and was there when Larry retired and did a sit down interview with him.
Marvin Harrison
Yes, Marvin, in 1986, how disappointed was basically the NBA community that it wasn't Lakers, Celtics because the Rockets beat them and upset them in the conference finals.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, Ralph hit. Sampson hit that shot. I mean, you wanted to see Magic against Larry. You just. It was East coast, west coast, Celtics, Lakers, longtime rivalry. But I just remember, you know, watching, I was fascinated with the key Milajuan. I just thought, God, if he gets good coaching, he is going to be unbelievable. And he. True, he proved to be unbelievable. But the Rockets had a good team, you know, and they weren't afraid of Boston. Was it Robert Reed? I think nice. He. He guarded Larry and did a pretty good job. You know, they had guys that, you know, can frustrate, man, maybe that's a strong word with Larry, but, you know, trying to contain him because he would get going and then it was over. Then you knew it. You knew it right away. You know, certain players where you go, oh, he's going to be on a heater and Bird would get on those heaters and you just go, you know, the question is, how many? I just watched the. Of course, I was on Facebook yesterday. I watched the Pete Maravich game against the Knicks when Pete put up 68 points and you had Walt Frazier, they had all these guys guarding him now. Dean Meminger, Walt Frazier and Butch Beard, they're all considered really good defenders. And Walt Frazier, one of the great defenders that Maravich could have scored 80 and there's no three point shot then, but, you know, you want to see an, like an effortless 68. And that's what it was. Yes.
Todd Fritz
Paul, we're discussing this over here like our children. We're considering capping your screen time.
Paul Pabst
Okay?
Todd Fritz
Like, there's a little things we could put on your phone. Cap you at like an hour a day.
Paul Pabst
I was probably 90 minutes yesterday on Facebook and I watched that couple of Led Zeppelin videos. America's Got Talent, Simon Cowell, the Golden Buzzer, the voice Watched a few of the voices episodes there as well. Yeah.
Todd Fritz
Paulie, it's like you're catching up on all the things from 2006-12.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, yeah. All these things I never saw before. Now I did, you know, a lot of these games I'm watching, but, yeah, there'll be like, this unbelievable eighth grader. He's dominating, so keep an eye on him. Yes.
Seton O'Connor
Tom, are we getting close to needing an intervention? Do you have this under control, the Facebook hours?
Paul Pabst
I don't know if I do, to be honest with. Don't know if I do. I'm. I'm going to be. I'll be upfront with you. Yes. You know the moonlighting was faked, though. Yes. Yeah. Smart. Saw a video on it. Yeah. Yes.
Marvin Harrison
I think the worst thing I'm going to do, I'm going to send you videos of NBA players in high school. Like, oh, my gosh. Michael Kid Gilchrist was a monster in high school.
Todd Fritz
Nice reference.
Paul Pabst
And I think he had a triple double in his first game in the NBA.
Marvin Harrison
Oh, that jump shot is the worst.
Paul Pabst
It was a bad jump shot. Bad jump shot. If you Google. I think his first game was a triple double. I think. Yes.
Todd Fritz
I may have to put a stop to this. We're breaking down. As much as I love all references, if we're breaking down Michael Kid Gilchrist for three minutes, either it's awesome or dangerous.
Paul Pabst
Do not send that to me. I don't want. I don't want you to send me videos. Let me find videos. Okay. And I've been watching a lot of Mike Tyson boxing matches, Roberto Durand, so. Yeah.
Marvin Harrison
So you don't want.
Paul Pabst
No, don't send me anything. I am good.
Marvin Harrison
Jason Tatum versus I have Brunson in high school.
Paul Pabst
No, I've got it all right there. Yes. Paul.
Todd Fritz
I clicked on something the other day. It was like the making of Jaws. And now all I'm getting is clips from movies. Behind the scenes, making movies.
Paul Pabst
I think it's 50 years.
Todd Fritz
Yes. This year, this summer.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. 50 years ago. Jaws. What?
Seton O'Connor
The weird thing is remembering how scared we all were and you didn't want to go to the beach or even in a pool for me. And then when they take. Yeah, I was scared of even going to the pool for. I was really devastated. I didn't want to be anywhere near any kind of body of water. But when they take the camera back and they. And you watch some of these things that Paul is talking about and you see this mechanical shark, how was I that scared over this little toy that they just made looking like it was eating people.
Paul Pabst
Thank you, Todd.
Seton O'Connor
It was really scary back then.
Todd Fritz
I prefer getting bitten by a shark.
Seton O'Connor
Than hearing that it was just a big mechanical toy.
Paul Pabst
No, no, I got it. I know it wasn't an actual shock. It was.
Seton O'Connor
People weren't actually eaten during the making of.
Paul Pabst
I thought Paulie was doing the Jaws bit.
Seton O'Connor
Oh, did I hijack? I tried to poorly try to jump on that.
Paul Pabst
How about we take a break here? Okay.
Seton O'Connor
EK Soupound's coming up next.
Paul Pabst
Yes, he is. We'll talk some hockey. He's a tough guy.
Seton O'Connor
The Sharks are one of the hockey teams in the national hockey. You got to bring it all together with Jaws, okay? They're not currently in the playoffs.
Paul Pabst
How about we take a break here? Okay, we're back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Paul Pabst
Go to danpatrick.com Click on the Spirits tab. Something really special there that it's been 10 years since it was last available. Go to danpatrick.com and find out 8773 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow DraftKings just sent me the Stanley cup odds to win it all. It's the Hurricanes, Oilers stars all closely bunched there with the Panthers and the Maple Leafs. P.K. subin he's ESPN analyst and former defenseman, played 13 years in the NHL second round action on the mothership double header at seven Eastern Panthers Leafs then 9:30 stars against the jets and you can catch PK tonight pregame coverage on the point at six on ESPN two ESPN plus and in studio in between periods there. Great to have you on PK. What kind of mood do you think Toronto is going to be in tonight when they face Florida?
Marvin Harrison
Well, they have to be in a pretty good mood. You know, you're up one nothing at home, still at home, playing in your building again and you know that you maybe didn't play your best game in game one. I think they had a great start but maybe not the best finish. So coming into game two they should feel pretty good about where they're at and playing a full 60 minutes.
Paul Pabst
But you had an incident where you know, your goalie takes a elbow to the head, he's throwing up, they take him on like, like you guys, you know, police your own sport here. How does Toronto stay in the game, an important game, while you still send the message to maybe the most physical team in the NHL, 100%.
Marvin Harrison
And I think that the best way to send that message is in between the whistles and shift by shift. This is gonna be a long series. There's gonna be ups and downs. As a player for the most part, leave the media and all the quotes and all that stuff to the fans. As a player you got to stay focused on what you need to do on the ice. And let's be honest here, nobody knows that the symptoms that, you know, Anthony stole ours was that we all witnessed on the bench were from that hit. I think a lot of people believe that maybe it was from something else, maybe a sickness or from the prior shot do. But that all being said, no one should be speculating on what the injury injury status is of Anthony Storm Polars. And make no doubt about it, based on the incident, outside decreased or just inside decrease, rather. This was not a significant enough play for this to be anything. This is just playoff hockey, and both coaches are doing what they need to do to maintain the edge.
Paul Pabst
Explain to me. We talk about goalies standing on their heads like they're going to stop everything, but why is it in that moment, we have at least one goalie every. Every playoff? A Stanley cup final, where you go, I'll be damned. Like he's winning a series. Winning a Stanley cup championship.
Marvin Harrison
Yeah, for sure. And I feel like it's. Goaltending has become more and more important every year. It's always been important. You know, playing hockey, it's the ultimate team sport, but we have an individual position that can really dictate whether you are a competitive team, a contending team, or you're not even close. And without a good goaltender, you're probably not getting too far in the regular season, let alone the playoffs. So when it comes to playoff times, we're seeing the best goaltenders, you know, on the most competitive teams going at it. And, you know, we're seeing that every night. Now, what we're also seeing is a lot of contact in the crease. A lot of that is due to. Because players are doing whatever they can to disrupt any, you know, any groove that the goaltender might be in, any rhythm that he might be in. You want to disrupt that by flash screens and getting physical in the crease. Well, sometimes that boils over, you know, Sam Bennett's going into the crease. Yeah, I know he says, anthony stole our buddy, but he's going in there, you know, if he makes contact, I mean, no one's upset about that. And let's be real, if you hurt the number one goaltender, you know, a third or fourth line guy runs, and this is something that we got to talk about in hockey is all it takes is one player to say, you know what? I'm going to go in there and, you know, whatever happens, happens. But, you know, you lose that player for a couple of games, that's one thing, but losing a number one goaltender for the playoffs is another. And, you know, I've been on that side.
Dan Patrick
Right.
Marvin Harrison
When we lost Kerry Price against the Rangers in the conference final, that was the end of our run. So they're trying to protect the goaltenders the best that they can, but that play on the crease wasn't. Wasn't anything to gawk at, Wasn't anything too crazy.
Paul Pabst
What's it like to Fight somebody and then he turns out to be your teammate at some point in your career.
Marvin Harrison
There's a lot in hockey. This is what makes our sport so special. And you know, Brian Birch says the hockey fraternity is the best fraternity in all of sports. And I believe them. But it starts for that simple reason. We are the only sport where you can fight a guy and the next day literally be sitting at the bar having a beer with them after playing a full 60 minutes and fighting next to him. Right? So we're the only sport that does that. It's about honor. It's all about your teammates and team first and the willingness to do anything for the team. That's, that's what fighting really is in hockey.
Paul Pabst
When do you start fighting in hockey? At what age or is it acceptable?
Marvin Harrison
Well, I mean, oftentimes now because we're in the world of social media. I get all these reels and these tweets at me every day of like these little nine year old kids having brawls on the ice in different parts of like, you know, this just happens in hockey. It happens all the time. It happens in all sports. But it's funny to me when I see the little kids doing it in hockey, you know, because they're watching everything on tv. But, you know, I'll keep it real. People talk about our sport the time, they don't talk about the respect in it. There's a lot of respect in it. They talk about it a little bit, but, you know, not to the degree that they probably should. And the level of respect in the game of hockey is, I think it's unmatched in any other sport because of the physicality and the danger in our sport. And when you talk about fighting, there's such a respect in regards to fighting that if you do it the wrong way, you know, you're gonna have everybody, including your teammates, not happy with you. So, you know, that's the respect that fighting sort of garners when you drop the gloves. We all know it's something that you have to be willing to do and not everybody's willing to do it. So I think for kids, it's not in the forefront for them. You know, we stress skill and Alice, because you got to entertain. At the end of the day, this is sports entertainment. So the fighting part, you know, is a part of the game, but the entertainment goes way up. Right. The entertainment though, has to meet the skill as well. So we got to have a balance of both. And I think we have that in the league. But fighting for me doesn't really start, doesn't really start until the kids are about 14 or 15. Usually once you get to junior and even then it's like a choice. If you don't want to fight, you don't have to.
Paul Pabst
P.K. subin of the Mothership ESPN analyst and second round playoff action coming up tonight. It's a double header. It's the Maple Leafs Panthers and then it'll be the Dallas Stars Winnipeg Jets. Playoff scoring is up again. I think this is, I think this might be the fifth consecutive year playoff scoring is going up. Why is that?
Marvin Harrison
I think it's the style, style of play, the way teams are built, obviously it's the way the game is policed as well with officiating. You can't hook and hold anymore, you can't clutch and grab, you can't cross check. You can't do all those things as a defenseman, you know, to impede players. You know, guys are also coming into the league way more skilled. When I came into the league, you knew that their third and fourth line probably weren't scoring any goals. They could run around and hit. But now you've got goal scores and multi, multi point guys on the third and fourth line. I was just talking about this last night about Edmonton with, you know, Corey Perry scoring that beautiful goal in that passing play with McDavid. But Corey Perry was a 50 goal scorer in, in the OHL like Corey Perry was 100 point guy in the, oh, Corey Perry's a former MVP, a Stanley cup champion playing on the fourth line and up and down their lineup, you know, and when you look at the Detroit Red Wings back in the day, Kirk Mope, you know, Darren McCarty, Partey, you know, excuse me, I'm missing another name here. But they had Danny Cleary, they had a bunch of guys that played those roles, those third and fourth line roles when they got to the NHL, but were skilled players in junior hockey. So I think there's a lot of more talent in the league, a lot more skill. You know, there's way more parity in the game which challenges teams. I think the star players have to do a lot more every night, which is more difficult to do so and there's more teams now, so you have more skilled players. So I think there's no off nights now. You could circle your, you know, calendar and for the games that were point nights, even in the playoffs, you knew that you were playing against teams that were going to give up a lot. Now it's just difficult to do that. You got to Play disciplined game and you got to have skilled players that can check both sides of the puck. And I think we're seeing the game at probably its highest point in a long time.
Paul Pabst
I'll let you start your team with Sid Crosby or Alex Ovechkin.
Marvin Harrison
Sidney Crosby. First of all, I'll always take a Canadian player over any country. I am Canadian. This is our sport, folks. I know I work for ESPN in America, but hockey is our sport. So I'm always going to go with the Canadian. But you know, I'll say this about both Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. I mean, how lucky was the NHL to have two ambassadors like that over the past two decades, you know, and we're hoping to have them around a lot longer too. Neither of them is slowing down and you can see the age, but the performance hasn't really dropped that much. And they're such. They're premier athletes, premier professionals and most of all premier people the way they've represented the game. So to have either or of those guys would be a huge win. They're both champions. Like I said, great ambassadors, great teammates. But I'm going with Sidney Crosby. To me, he's the best all around player in my generation. He's a winner, he's a champion. And once again, he's got that Canadian maple syrup running through his veins. That's the X factor.
Paul Pabst
Dead Utah has their nickname.
Marvin Harrison
Is it the Mammoth? Did I see that?
Paul Pabst
Yeah. What do you think?
Marvin Harrison
What do you think of that?
Paul Pabst
I kind of like the. The Utah Hockey Club.
Marvin Harrison
You like the Utah? You know, me too. I did like it. I did like it. Just playing it was starting to grow on me, especially towards the end. But you know, I will say this, Dan, as a fan, because I still consider myself a big sports fan. That's why I do this now is just I'm a fan of sports. Is that the fan does love those logos. They like having that logo, like the Chicago Blackhawks logo. To have that.
Paul Pabst
That's the best logo. That's the best logo in sports.
Marvin Harrison
It is, it is. And I think for Utah they want the opportunity to create something. Create something iconic. So I understand having a proper name and a proper logo. I get that. But I share that with you do. I'm the same way. I loved Utah Hockey Club. I love the simplicity of it.
Paul Pabst
I did in basketball, you guard guys, you know, guys who guard Michael or Larry or Kobe. And in hockey we don't really kind of single out. It's a one on one match up there. It's like, it's like us against them. But did. How often do you have those one on one moment, like with Ovechkin? How often did you have a one on one where it's like, you know, this might not end well?
Marvin Harrison
Oh my God, it's such a great question. Hockey is a sport of one on one battles. It's all about one on one battles. If you watch the game of hockey, it's one on one battles all over the ice. It's a one up, it's, it's a team sport, but you have to beat the guy across the line from you. So when we line up for that face up, there's the centerman, he's got to be better than the centerman. The wingers got to be better than the wingers and the D got to be better than the D. And I know who's on the other side. I know when I'm playing. Eric Carlson, Drew Doughty, Cale McCarr, Victor. There had been. My job is to outdo those guys. So it's individual, this is competition, it's pro sports. So it's very much one on one and that's what we want. We want our athletes to take it on. And part of my responsibility as an ex player now being on the broadcast is to bring those battles to the forefront for the audience and people watching to see and participate in. Because you don't have an opportunity to hear what the players are saying on the ice all the time or on the court or on the field. You don't always have the opportunity to know that there's bad blood or that these players have a history. So it's our job as the analysts and the talent on air to paint that picture of the story. And last night we got a good glimpse of McDavid and Jack Eiffel going back and forth. But in my time it was, you know, even when I came into the league, it was more rich than that. And I think that hockey is now starting to take ownership of those one on one battles. We saw that the four nations between Brandon Hagel and Matthew Tkachuk and we want to continue to build on those storylines and I think the players are buying into it and it's, it's really helping our game.
Paul Pabst
Is there anybody you could see that you might still want a piece of, like just in regular life?
Marvin Harrison
That's a great, great question. Let me see. Which guy would I want a piece of? You know, and I don't hate. It's not that I hate him at all. I love Them, but I'm going to tell you why I would want a piece of them. And I don't even know if I'd do anything if I had a chance, but let's just say I had a chance. We'd probably be Chris Pride, because, you know, my best chance to win the Stanley cup with Montreal was that conference final when he collided with Gary Price. So, you know, I mean, every Montreal Canadiens fan and every player on that team shares that same view with me. You know, Crystal maintains that it was an accident, and I believe him.
Paul Pabst
But let's say you're, you're at Starbucks and he's in line at Starbucks and you see him. Would you, you wouldn't cross check him? You would not?
Marvin Harrison
No, I wouldn't cross check him. No, no. And I, I feel even bad throwing them into the mix like that. But no, I wouldn't because, you know, it's. No one's bigger than the game, even me. And even though that may have been my best chance to win a Stanley cup, there's a lot of guys out there who dream about winning the Stanley cup and there's a lot of guys who have before me and didn't get a chance to win one. So, you know, I would never take, I never take myself too seriously when it comes to other people. It's about the game. So I, maybe I throw a little elbow, like a Messier elbow to the ribs or something like that. Maybe I hit him with one of.
Paul Pabst
Those Messier looks like he could still play.
Marvin Harrison
Oh, I mean, don't take this the wrong way. I mean, he is my teammate and I work with him, so I'm going to pump his tires on air, but he could probably be on the front cover of GQ as well. He's a good looking guy. I haven't met a woman yet who doesn't ask me about Mark Messier and what his whole, what his whole treatment regime is and how he keeps his skin so nice and all that. I'm like, guys, I'm 35. What about me? Like, you know, black don't crack. Come on, give me a break. Mess has taken all my shine. But no, he, he takes, he takes really, really good care of himself and, you know, he's a happy guy. You know, I also believe this as time goes on, if you're a happy person, it shows in your energy. And, you know, I love. There's nothing better than I love to do at work. It's a Super Bowl. If I get a laugh out of Mess because he's Got that big grin and that big laugh. It's just fun to see him laugh. So. No, he takes good care of himself and he does look like he can play. I went on the ice with him in L. A for that charity for to raise money for the fires and I told him right away, like his presence on the ice. Now I know why they call him Moose. I know why they call him the Moose now because he's just so big and you could just feel his presence and it was pretty cool to touch the ice with him in la.
Paul Pabst
Great to talk to you. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for joining us.
Marvin Harrison
Thanks, Dan. Hope to come back back on soon, man.
Paul Pabst
Thank you.

A fun show today. I love when Ray Allen joins us, starts telling stories that he probably didn't even remember or never thought about telling. And PK Subin done a great job as an analyst for the mothership. Checked in with the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. Don't call it a blockbuster deal. It's just a trade right now. It's an interesting trade. It's not a blockbuster like Herschel Walker. That's a blockbuster trade. This wasn't a blockbuster trade. It was just, hey, we're giving up this guy. We don't really want him. Last year of his contract, hey, Dallas, they're desperate. They'll take it. And so George Pickens, a Dallas Cowboy, this day in sports history. Paul, what do you have?
Todd Fritz
1920, the Philadelphia Phillies had game number eight in a row postponed due to weather.
Paul Pabst
How about that?
Todd Fritz
1983, Augie Hoffman set the all time record, the Guinness Book of World record for consecutive sit ups. How many was it? Let's play the guess the sit ups game. 1983 Augie Hoffman. How many to break the all time sit up record in one sitting?
Paul Pabst
No pun intended. 1,743. Wow.
Todd Fritz
That's right. No 29,051 sit ups.
Paul Pabst
I, I hope he had some abs.
Marvin Harrison
Yes.
Paul Pabst
Hope he had a six pack. Be tough to do those without him.
Seton O'Connor
The valid point.
Paul Pabst
2002. Allen Iverson famously talks about practice at a press conference. Let me see. Michael Jordan his buzzer beater over Craig Elo. 1989 Game 5, first round series as the Bulls beat the Cavaliers. Terry in San Diego. Hi, Terry. What's on your mind? I'm, I'm just waiting because ESPN is the best at torturing and twisting facts to match their narrative. I mean, I've been watching Mel Kuiper talk about quarterbacks and knock them down for hands are too small or just a little bit too short or whatever. But they all seem to behind this Shador Sanders thing that even though he's not fast, not tall, doesn't make quick decisions. Mel Kuiper and these guys are like he was a number one pick and they are going to go down in flames to support this guy.
Dan Patrick
And that's why nobody drafted him and.
Paul Pabst
Nobody wanted him as a backup because what's about to happen to Cleveland? They drafted him in the fifth round and ESPN immediately said this guy's going to be the starter. You just see it happening. I don't, I mean, I don't know if it's collusion or what with the standards family, but to have Mel Kuyper compare him to Tom Brady and use words like the hall of Fame and then, and then Sanders take number 12 for his number. It's, it's just going to be comedy watching this train wreck about to happen on espn. Well, thank you, Terry. Yeah, we're going to know in a couple of years. We're going to find out if he can play. Do we have Tom Brady? Marvin, who is he being interviewed by? Jake Paul.
Marvin Harrison
Actually, it's the other Paul Logan.
Paul Pabst
Paul Logan Paul podcast. Tough to tell him apart, but Tom Brady was asked about not drafting Shador Sanders.
Marvin Harrison
Elephant in the room. Should our Sanders. What happened, Tom? Why, why, why did he go so late in the draft?
Dan Patrick
And there's I, I, It's a good question. I was, I wasn't a part of any evaluation process or skip a list otherwise.
Marvin Harrison
No, no.
Dan Patrick
Well, everyone's got every, you know, that's.
Marvin Harrison
The problem with media is everyone can.
Dan Patrick
Just say whatever the they want. I actually texted Shador because I know him very well and I said, dude, like, whatever happens, wherever you go, that's your first day. Day two matters more than the draft. I was 199.
Marvin Harrison
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
So who could speak on it better than me? Like, what that really means. Use it as motivation. You're going to get your chances. Go take advantage of it.
Paul Pabst
Okay. He says good question. He's stalling because he got was like a standing 8 count there for him. It's like a good question. Yeah. And first, let me just, you know, the media. Yeah, I know. I don't want to tell Logan Paul or Jake Paul how to do their job, but why don't you ask Tom why didn't you draft him? And that's it. Just go. Why didn't you draft him? You've known him for a long time, probably as well as anybody. Any member of any front office staff. And you have a quarterback who is going. He's 35, I think. Does that sound right? Raiders starting quarterback start at 35. Well, I'm not the one that makes that decision. Yeah. So, okay. That's what I would ask because you passed on him seven times. So. Yeah, I don't know, Todd. What did I learn?
Seton O'Connor
Today Load management has officially hit the sport of horse racing. There will be no triple crown winner this year.
Paul Pabst
Thanks for joining us on the program. Actor Vince Vaughn stops by tomorrow and Cornbread Maxwell.
