This past season on my podcast, here's the thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people like writer and actor Dan Aykroyd.

And actor and comedian Jack McBrayer. The most important aspect is the collaboration with people that I like, I trust are talented.

Mike Florio, friend of the show profootballtalk.com and Diana Rossini of the Athletic talking about Aaron Rodgers has reached out to a surprising team. You guys want to play? Which team would he be reaching out to play for next year? Todd, I'm going to start with you. The Tennessee Titans. Tennessee Titans. No seat, no counter. The Los Angeles Rams of Anaheim. Okay. No Marvin. The Seattle Seahawks. Okay. No Paul. Oh, the Indianapolis Colts. Oh, the New York Giants. What? Don't have to move. I just moved here. I just bought. I just got this place. I just. You guys need somebody? I got a place at the Jersey Shore. Good and blue. Rogers said that he seeks a good team that wants him. They're neither. Yeah. In search of. Yeah, he's. Rogers prefers to play this, according to the New York Daily News for the LA Rams. If they trade Matthew Stafford to the Giants and then Rogers would then play for the Rams. Yes. Todd, for someone that pretends to not want a lot of attention, LA and New York, very interesting that you would choose the two biggest markets. Well, he wants to play for a good team that wants him and the Giants are so close. Why didn't you just stay in Green Bay? Because Green Bay didn't want him anymore. But Mike Florio reported that he heard at the NFL combine. Rogers has reached out to the New York Giants. I, I There's just certain stories where you kind of just want them to go away for a little while. Tush push gotta go away. Aaron Rodgers go away for a little while. You know, come back if you're going to play. That's great. But they're just after a while, you're just inundated with people trying to come up with new angles on the same topic. And I don't know if there's any resolution to the tush push or if Aaron Rodgers finds a team. Does Aaron Rodgers is it, where does Stafford go now? How does that affect Aaron Rodgers? Could he go to the Rams if Stafford doesn't go to the Raiders? You know, the report was that it was Stafford and Tom Brady in Montana on a ski slope and they ran into each other. The what remains in doubt is was this a planned up planned meeting or was it random? Because this place that they both belong to is a very, very high end skiing resort. And maybe they just ran into each other. But you had conflicting reports yet. Ian Rapaport of NFL Network, who said it was random? Jordan Schultz of Fox. He said that this was a meeting that took place and then there was a meeting that took place between Jordan Schultz and Ian Rappaport at a Starbucks in Indianapolis. And apparently it got heated enough that Ian Rapaport then contacted NFL Security on Jordan Schultz and oh, by the way, Jordan Schultz, dad is the CEO of Starbucks. Stuff movies are made of. Thank you, Todd. I don't know. This is not a movie. 20 for 20. Yeah. Not a 30 for 30. Not even a dirty for 30. 25 or 25. Yes, yes, Paul, we almost had a scrap of chino. Oh, okay. We did reach out to Ian Rapaport and he said that he's going to lay low and maybe join us tomorrow. It's not just the coffee that got heated. Who you got in that fight? Jordan Schultz. He a big dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He played football at Occidental. You've met them both? I, I have met both of them. Ian's scrappy though. Yeah. Low leverage. Yeah. Jordan Schultz, good size. Yeah. If it came to that. But apparently it got heated for 60 seconds. Don't make me put down my latte. Yeah, I would get mad if you said, hey, you want to go? Well, let me finish my, my chai tea latte. Is there anything softer than not getting into a fight at Starbucks? Like a fight was almost about to happen, but it didn't happen at a Starbucks. Yes, Todd, what is Starbucks security like? Is the biggest Barista has to get involved. If a tussle was to break out of Starbucks, who's responsible for breaking that up? Yeah, I don't know. And there's always the guy in there with his computer, and he's just sitting there and his computer is plugged in and he's just there just gulping down coffees. Yes. Marv, have you ever gotten almost to fisticuffs into fisticuffs with somebody in the media? Well, like a heated argument or anything like that? Like heated, heated, yeah. Craig Sager, Paulie was there. Alex Rodriguez, that, that got heated. Lawrence Taylor, it didn't get heated, which is good, but it was one of those situations where it's like, if you ask me one more question, this is going to end poorly for you. So then I didn't. I, I put down my, my, my journalistic qualities and I thought, you know, it's probably best that I don't ask Lawrence Taylor about cocaine use one more time. Probably. I'm. I'm going to stop. You know, I ask you twice and I'm not going to. I'm not going to do it again. And then a rod, that one that was toe to toe. And you know what? I, If I got popped, I got popped, but I would have gotten in a swing or two if I had to. But that was silly. I mean, that was. That, that, that goes back to when Derek Jeter signed his contract and a rod called up. And we were taping the interview and I started talking to him about Jeter, and then he got mad at me because we aired this. And then he does an interview with Esquire magazine. And I think he was there, Scott Rab. And he told him the same thing that he told me, but he. So he reiterated that. And I'm thinking he doesn't have a problem with me. And then I found out that through the Rangers pr that he did. But I did confront him. I wanted to go, you know, what's the deal? And that one, that one got heated. That one got heated. That was, that was not good. I don't think there's that, you know, Sager. God love Craig Sager, though. We're outside the Clevelander in Miami, and I had been on this rant about Heisman Trophy winners, that freshmen should win it or a sophomore should win it. And it really was about Adrian Peterson, and Sager was a Heisman voter. I wasn't at the time. And I said, hey, if I was voting Adrian Peterson, and Sager got upset with me over voting for somebody who's a freshman or sophomore. Because I said, if you're the best player, you're the best player. I don't need you to wait till you're a junior or senior. So it got. I don't know where it was going. It wasn't going to end well for either one of us. But I'd known Sager a long, long time. But, you know, he got heated, and then I got heated, and I just remember I put down my. My beer bottle and he put down his. And then Paulie was going to have to use his bouncer skills. That's right. That we've talked about a lot on his program. It was weirdly awkward because there was other people watching who are casual sports fans who saw, hey, there's Dan Patrick and Craig Sager. And it started to get tense where there's, like that little finger pointing to exclamation points. Yeah, it felt like it was going to get out of hand. Yeah, it could have. And cooler heads prevailed with that. But I don't know if I've ever had anything else like the Lawrence Taylor thing. He was being suspended, and he read a prepared statement for the print media at the Giants training camp facility. Well, I was working at cnn, and I had my camera guy, and, you know, we needed to have that story. We needed to have something on camera. So Lawrence comes out of the building, and he was there with all the print media when print media, you know, mattered. Now, he would have done something for tv, and then print media would have said, hey, can we get a copy of that? But back then, print media, New York, print media, very powerful. And Lawrence came out, and remember, he was dressed in dark blue or black, and he had these big sunglasses on. And I said, excuse me, Mr. Taylor, Dan Patrick, CNN. And I wanted to know if he would read his prepared statement on camera. And then he said, talk to my agent. And I said, I did. I spoke to your agent. And then he kept walking. And then I said, lawrence, will you read that prepared statement on camera? I won't ask any questions. And he looked at me, and I could see the whites of his eyes through the sunglasses. And then I said to my cameraman, and I said, ricky, just. Just keep rolling. And just in case he hit me, he then jumped in. He had a. Like a giant's blue Porsche. And he peeled out. And I remember Peter King, of all people, he worked for New York Newsday newspaper. He came out and goes, what? What did he say? You know, so Peter was being the reporter while I was trying to Be a reporter to get Lawrence Taylor to tell me about that, that he had been busted for cocaine and he was going to be suspended. So Peter ended up writing a little bit about that. I could have had a career sack there. I could have gotten Lawrence Taylor could have. He, he almost had another career sack as well. He's high on the list of last people I'd like to fight in the 80s. Well, I'd say Tyson is numero uno. Yeah. He's a one seater. Yes, you can. I can still hear punches going to those fights. I can hear punches from Tyson. That's 1986 is the first year I met him. He was on the COVID of Sports Illustrated, he was Kid Dynamite. And I went up to where Customato lived, who was his manager who had passed away, and he was living up there with Cus's wife and I, I went to a couple of his fights and damn, I, I don't know what happened to those guys, like what kind of condition some of those guys are in now. But you can, I can hear it. I can still hear a punch when he hit Michael Spinks, when he hit Marvis Frazier. Damn. Yes, Todd. And the inability of some of his opponents to even remotely hide their fear about what they signed up for. Like they didn't realize until they get in the ring. And Tyson would do that. Staring back and forth in your eyes while they were, when they got them in the middle. There is no sporting event that has that drama because it's two guys going into a ring and you can't hide like it's there. And when, when it's a legitimate big time fight and you're just, man. And I was very fortunate to be able to be around Sugar Ray Leonard, I mean, Alexis Arguello, Aaron Pryor, like the middleweights, like the, the guys who weren't the heavy, they, they were awesome. Hagler, Hearns, Vitoana, Firmo, like, they were just. There was always great fights back then and they all meant something. And to be able. And you're around Bob Arum and Don King, it's just, I remember Don King tried to hit on a girl that I took to a boxing press conference. I had to tell him, I said, don, she's with me. And he said, all day in America. I said, I mean, you know, he'd have the little flags that he would have. And I just remember he was hitting on this, this girl. And I had to tell, yeah, I'm telling him. I'm like, it's, hey, Don, she's with me. Only in America walked out the door. Yes. Marvin, when Mike Tyson was in his prime, was it still like the big deal to be the world heavyweight champion? Yeah. Okay, so no matter who the heavyweight champion was, they automatically became world famous. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like, Larry Holmes was a great fighter, but he, He. He kind of lacked any kind of style, charisma. I think he owned all of Easton, Pennsylvania, like, downtown. I went to visit him. But, you know, Larry was just a great, great boxer, had a great record. But, you know, you kind of go to the fight and you go, okay, you know, you had Ali and Frazier. Before that, you had George Foreman. I mean, even Ken Norton, Jerry Cooney. You know, there. There was some gravitas that went with that title and, And Tyson certain. And, And Tyson acted like he was a heavyweight champ from the 20s. You know, you got dames on your arms and you're out partying and you're, you know, he was kind of a Babe Ruth of boxing in the Babe Brute. Okay. Oh, all right, that's. Sorry. Sorry, Todd. I'll let that one go. Thank you. Yes, Paul. Also, the timing of Tyson, it coincided with the timing of the rise of espn, so there could be more coverage to it. And his fights, his early fights were all on CBS. You could just access those first maybe 15 or 20 fights he fought monthly. And then it also coincided with the upswing and rap, and rappers used to check him, put his name in their songs, and it all became a thing. He became, honestly, the most famous person in America. And then he married Robin Givens. Yeah, it was. It was a wild ride. But, you know, Mike was so raw. He just loved his pigeons. He wanted to show me his pigeons. The only thing you get him talk about is the history of the sport. He knew the history of the sport and his pigeons, that was it. And he, you know, that soft voice, and he would ask me if I wanted to see his pigeons. How do you think it sounded, Todd? I don't want to talk about my boxing career. Everybody wants to talk about my boxing. I just want to talk about this pigeon collection. And I remember growing up, someone killed my pigeon. He stepped on my pigeon's, and that was the end of that. Because they thought I was a pushover and I showed them. But with friends like that, who needs enemies? Right there. Maybe two, a little too long there. One verse too many on that. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. All right, let me take a break. I don't know what we just accomplished, if anything there, but we'll take a break, we'll regroup, and maybe we'll have a better direction to go in the final 40 minutes of this program. All right, we'll take a break. We're back after this Dan Patrick show. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Make some noise for the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called called goat greatest of their era. And we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s. Peja five, Dirk Ford. Peja is elite. Okay, okay. I'm mad him. I left him off my list, but I still like my list. You won't believe who Steph left off his list. That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations. Yes, absolutely. Love it. Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters. When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open, like, you might as well just count that and get on back on defense.

And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish, this is really the first interview I've done in bed. We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said we're finished. This is over. It only stopped going to work. You got to get rid of those guys. It's just that Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others.

We haven't played dower rankings in a while, and it's, you know, very detailed game that we play. Dower rankings, any sport, you know, what are you dower on? Uh, so it can be a player, it can be a team, it could be a rule, a concept. What are you or who are you dower on? Paul, why don't you set the example here? Glad to, Dan. Uh, this is the second time they've appeared on my list. The Philadelphia 76ers. Ah, that's who I had. Yeah, we made to take them off the board at this juncture. They lost nine in a row and they weren't good before that. They're 20 and 38. Their two best players are hurt and really hurt. One of them got criticized for hosting a podcast. Like, he's not focused on basketball because he's talking for 45 minutes a week and stopped the podcast, which is even softer. Paul George. This is a team that had 54 wins last year and was always a threat in the postseason. The Philadelphia Six 76ers are bad and getting worse, and there's no hope in sight. I think the 76ers still owe Joel Embiid and playoff P $400 million. I may have undersold it. I think it's $405 million that they owe these guys. They could be bad without paying those guys $400 million. Todd Dower rankings. I'm dour on the NFL rulebook because I'm sick. Every year something pops up. We gotta reanalyze or rephrase something. I'm all for moving forward with technology and things like that and trying to make the game better, but if we're constantly having to reanalyze things that are going on on the field, there's something wrong, then we need to really do better at whoever's putting the rules. Yeah, but. But we need change. The rule book is about change, not, you know, the NFL from the 60s. It's just too much to me. Every year, it's like, well, these seven things we need to reconfigure. It didn't work out. Or these three are good. These two need to be tweaked. You constantly have to tweak things that much, then do better at the phraseology or putting the rules. Well, yeah, I think the language that they keep adding, like, it's lawyers adding language to this. They don't subtract language. They add. Yes. Yeah. There aren't many sports that are constantly reinventing the rules season after season like the NFL does. They seem to be the only sport that really is constantly, like, what do we want to do this, do we want to do that? That. The game is always changing, but it doesn't hurt the sport. It gives them constant exposure. It does. It. It does sort of hurt the sport, though, in that people are constantly wondering about the fairness of it or the. I mean, the fact that we're constantly talking about nf, like, refereeing decisions, and was this a catch? Was this not. I get the whole idea. Like, hey, we're talking about it, so that means it's a good thing. I get it. But you're also talking about the integrity of the sport. And it. It. The more that it keeps getting tweaked, the more you keep talking about it, the more dumb the sport becomes. Well, we can talk about the integrity, you know, gambling, how good are the official? Those kind of things. But Todd's talking about the rule book with all the other things that they, you know, discuss. They add, make it more complicated. That's the problem that I have. All right, but what is a catch is part of that rulebook. Yeah, but that's something we. But the NFL doesn't get hurt by it. I mean, it. It's. It's. They've never been more popular. I. If you have a situation where an official is compromised, that's when you can do damage to the sport. I mean, it's impenetrable, it feels like. So I don't. It doesn't matter if we're going, is that a catch? Why do we have to have it as we still watch, we still gamble, we still do fantasy. So I don't. I don't think the NFL. I think the NFL, the other sports Would love if you're talking about them in any way, the NFL, it just feels like they can do no wrong. Marvin Dower, I'm dour on the NFL draft prospects. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of star power in this year's draft like there has been for previous years. So I'm dour on the star potential of some of these players. Okay. All right. Seaton Dower. Well, my, I was looking at the 76ers for sure. I'm dour on the idea of an nil cap. Oh, okay. So this hasn't been put into law yet, but I think there's going to be a cap for nil or money available for players at maybe 21 and a half million dollars for each university. So every sport comes out of that. Football will probably take 16 million, 17 million depending on the, you know, the, the, the school and how good the basketball team is. But I think what's going to happen is yes, there's going to be a salary cap, but I don't think you can take away somebody's nil if you're going to pay them. I should still be able to capitalize on my name, image and likeness. This is my ability that you're paying me for, not my name, image and likeness. Or at least I wouldn't think that seems like that would, you know that you could argue that also. I think we're going to get back to, if that's the case, we cap you no matter what you do, name, image and likeness, which I don't know how they. What if somebody gets a 5 million dollar Gatorade deal like Cooper Flag, you know, are you taking that out of the 21 and a half million dollars because Gatorade is paying you? I think you're going to get back to illegal recruiting. I think you're going to get back to payments under the table. If there's a salary cap, I, it's not going to stop boosters from, or collectives from getting somebody and giving somebody something extra. It's going to happen. It happened before when it was illegal to do it. You know they're going to do it again. Yeah. Paul, here's an example. Imagine you had a cap at USC like everybody else has at 22 million and you spend the lion's share on football and other sports. Then you have this out of nowhere athlete like Juju Watkins. I saw her in a State Farm commercial the other day. State Farm, that's no joke. So can she accept a certain amount from State Farms So you don't go over the overall cap for the athletic program. How would. That. That wouldn't be fair to her. I don't. I don't know. I mean, the fact that the NCAA has gotten itself this deep into something that they didn't have to get this deep into is amazing. And then to see them now go, hey, how do we. How do we fix all of this stuff that we made mistakes on? How about a salary cap? That'll do it. 21 and a half million dollars, you know, for each school. Okay. There's going to be illegal benefits here. It's going to continue. But I find that interesting also. I don't know if you saw. In spring training, the brewers played a double header in the Cactus League. On Wednesday, they face the Dodgers, and then they face the Diamondbacks. During their game against the Dodgers, Milwaukee decided to give an opportunity to a prospect who might have the best name in all the sports. He's 17 years of age. His name is Jesus Made. Jesus Made. M, A, D, E. I think he pronounces it Jesus, but you look at the spelling, you know, it's Jesus made. He's the 17th best prospect in the Baseball America's Top 100 list, so look forward to seeing him get some playing time there. Yes, Paulie. I don't know if he's a pitcher or not, but imagine going back to the dugout and saying, I just got whiffed by Jesus. You really can't. That was stacked against Jesus. Jesus. Jesus made the Brewers. All right, let me see. Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke. Thanks for holding. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Good morning. Good morning. You know, quick deal about the NFL, but with the news of Gene Hackman, it reminds me of a fourth grade report that I had to do a famous people that had the same birthday as me, and Gene Hackman was one of mine. Now, it's not as cool as having, you know, the same day, same year as some Danites you might know, but I've always felt an affinity for Gene Hackman because we shared the same birthday. So sad to hear him of his passing. Yeah. So I can. I can tell there's a little bit of. We've reached our brim of tolerance when it comes to the tush push, and I think rightfully so. Here's the thing, as a fan, it's really frustrating that this has been the conversation, because when we left the playoffs, I felt like the predominant discussion when it came to rule changes was going to be, how are we going to address all these quarterbacks that are taking advantage of the slide rule, the out of bounds rule, and it feels like that's just been brushed aside. Is there any hope of that being addressed? Because I think the fans really want that more than a play that one team has really kind of mastered. Yeah, I think that's a bigger deal, but it just feels like the Eagles won the tush push. It's not fair, it's not stoppable, and therefore that seems to be on the front burner. I think these quarterbacks who were kind of flirting with the rule of sliding, not sliding, going out of bounds, not going out of bounds, and kind of rubbing defenses, faces in this. And it's not just Patrick Mahomes. There are other quarterbacks as well. I would hope that they look at that. And I think you got to first. Let's start with safety. You have to say to these quarterbacks, we have protected you, but you're going to get into a gray area where we can't protect you or protect you the way you think you should be protected. If you're going to slide, make sure you slide early. If you're going to go out of bounds, make sure you go out of bounds. But if you're going to flirt with kind of altering this, then you're, you're on your own. You're going to be treated like a runner. And if you get hit, get blown up, that's just the way it is. I, I do think that's a bigger issue than the tush push, but I've, I've, you know, I'm on repeat with everything I think about that play. I'm fine with it. Take the guy out from behind. Jalen hurts. Let it be a quarterback sneak. They're still going to be very, very, very successful. Yeah, Paulie. Well, I think your point from the other day was if a lesser team that the Titans did this and did it well, it'd be easy to remove, but it wouldn't bother anybody because nobody's watching the Titans. Because the Eagles are so successful and winning the super bowl, the timing of it is. Seems pejorative against them. Whoa, is that. That's a McLovin word. Pejorative? Yes. Yes. He was a big pejorative. Did I use that right? I don't know. I got a little dizzy. It's a fade. Accomplice. Love to be proud of me. Tim in Ohio. Hi, Tim. Thanks for holding. What do you have for me? Hey, Dan. Hey. Good, I got to go fast of the day here. The Cavaliers won 32 games and by an average of 11.69 points, which would be the fourth highest average margin in victory in NBA history. According to Statham, the only teams to finish the season from a higher average margin over 72 Lakers, the 71 Bucks and the 96 Bulls. They all won NBA titles. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What Stat of the John lynch, the GM for the 49ers was at the combine talking about Brock Purdy's contract talks and seems like they're going all in on Brock Purdy. Won't go into negotiations like always is our stance want Brock to be our quarterback as long as we're here and, and beyond and, and we'll leave it at that. I, I think the final thing, there's no guarantees that we get something done. But my experience has been when both sides are motivated, there's ample opportunity to do so and we've been able to do that. So imagine if you're a GM and a coach. Trey Lance could get you fired. Brock Purdy keeps you in your job. So you go all in on Trey Lance who was just released by the Cowboys. You give up three first round picks and you know, really mortgage part of the future of your, your team and then you get Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant. And then you're a genius. So on one hand you're like but, but that's really assessing quarterbacks when you think about it. And you could talk about what Covid did to scouting and, and really trying to handicap somebody back in 2020 and how often are you able to see them or whatever in person. But still that's a big whiff. That's one of the bigger whiffs that we've had with you know, lynch and Shanahan and then Trey Lance can't play. He, you know, one, he was one year at North Dakota State and he was wonderful. Didn't lose a game. I don't think he threw an interception. But you still, you went all in on him. It's not like you drafted him in the first round. You went to get him in the first round and then Brock Purdy. Mr. Irrelevant. And I truly believe if Brock Purdy was a third round draft pick, I don't know if people would have a problem if he was going to make the money that he is scheduled to make. He's the last guy taken. How good can he be? Well, he was a very good college quarterback and for whatever reason was, you know, look at Tom Brady, where he was drafted or Trell Davis, where he was drafted. Teams make mistakes. And Brock Purdy, if he's a third or fourth round draft pick, you know, if he's a Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott, I don't think we go. I mean, we don't hold that against Dak Prescott anymore or Russell Wilson. I think with Brock Purdy, it's the perception that he's not that good is because he's the last player drafted. There have been a few quarterbacks down through history who didn't get drafted or they got drafted late and they true, you know, proved to be hall of Famers, you know, Johnny Unitis, Bart Starr. But you know, that's back when it was kind of scouting was archaic. But Brock Purdy's going to get paid now do. And they're going to trade Debo Samuel. I never would have signed up Brandon Ayuk. I would have traded him. I wouldn't have paid him $30 million. George Kittle, how much time do you have left? I mean, they're really at a crossroads here. And you know, you got that benefit with Brock Purdy with his salary. Now you don't. So now you got to make some really good draft decisions. You got to be like Philadelphia, you got to be like Baltimore, you got to be like Detroit. You have less money now. You got to make some really, really good decisions. Now we're going to find out just how good John lynch is and Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, Paul. Based off next man up at the quarterback position, Brock Purdy should get at least five years. 275 million at 55 million a season. Yeah, that's what Joe Burrow got. Hard to picture for a good quarterback. Oh, man, when you hear the number, it doesn't match if you could have Matthew Stafford the next two years or Brock Purdy the next two years. How about Stafford for two, Brock Purdy for five? I like Brock Purdy, but I don't. I don't think Brock Purdy. I, I think he's good at what he's supposed to be. Good to love him. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're, you're right. But I'm not paying him. So. I like Brock Purdy. I, I don't love him. Marvin, that's your team. Do you love Brock purdy? Not for 55 million, but it's the rate though. I know Seaton, of course, was all in on Brocktober when he was at Iowa State. Yes. Early adopter there. Yeah. It's funny how Matthew Stafford's lack of accomplishments has been completely erased. When he was in Detroit. When he was in Detroit. Yeah. And I mean I know he had, he had a great year with the Rams. I get that. And he had good years with Detroit, but he was the classic. Can't get over the hump guy forever. Forever. But we saw him with talent and he won the Super Bowl. It's funny how to that the Matthew Stafford like when he was with Detroit, they couldn't put a good team around him so he had to leave. And now Detroit, what they really are is one quarterback like Matthew Stafford away from getting to the Super Bowl. I just want to see what happens if Brock Purdy is capable of being that guy that you, you can load up and say go out and win games. I think that's what everybody's waiting to see with less talent. Because if you don't have Debo and George Kittle at the end of his career offensive line, you're losing a Hall of Fame tackle. You got some aging guys on defense as well.

We went live from All Star weekend for a new podcast called Goat Greatest of their era and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s. Peja 5. Dirk Ford. Peja is elite. Okay, okay. I'm mad him. I left him off my list, but I still like my list. You won't believe who Steph left off his list. That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations. Yes, absolutely. Love it. Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters. When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open. Like you might as well just count that and get on back on defense.

What we learn what's in store tomorrow, by the way, we tape two interviews. Sonny Vaccaro. He is largely responsible for signing Michael Jordan at Niking. He also signed Kobe at Adidas. Thought he had LeBron James. And he has written a book. He's now 85 years of age. And I was thinking about this, that he should be in the Basketball hall of Fame as a contributor. And I'm wondering if some of the coaches that he helped, Michael Jordan and some of the players, if they wrote letters to the Basketball hall of Fame on behalf of Sonny Vaccaro. So we'll talk to Sonny Vaccaro. And I did ask him the question, if Michael didn't go to Nike, what would have happened to Mike's shoe career and Nike's more importantly. So that'll be. And Woody Harrelson got a movie that comes out tomorrow. Last breath. So we'll talk to the Woodman. I just got a text message here and it is directed at Marvin, please. Yet let young school Marvin know old school is right. I would personally fly back to Indiana to set up a first class tour of the Indiana Basketball hall of Fame and taking to Newcastle Field House, the largest gym in the world and also Hinkle Field House, home of the Milan Shot assembly hall in Bloomington. Milan High School gym where the movie was shot. You haven't lived yet. Side note, tell Marvin I would drop 50 on him back in the day in front of 10,000 in Newcastle. No three point line there either. Old school can't beat it. Signed Steve Alford. Oh. Oh, wow. Emotional. I'm taking that as the biggest compliment. I am in. I am in. All right. That's like the Pope asked you to come to the Vatican. Yeah. So Steve Alford will be your tour guide and he'll drop 50 on you back in the day. I'd be honored. Let's go. Come on. You wouldn't be the only guy that he probably dropped, right? Imagine being that good of an outside shooter. And there was no three point shot back then. All righty. They had it in college late when that. When they played unlv and they beat unlv kind of at their game, up tempo. And Alford had a big night making some threes there, I believe. Yeah, Paul. And they beat Syracuse in the title game. And Steve Alford, when he got to Indiana, the three point line was only for his senior year. Yeah. And of course he. This is unbelievable. He shot 53% from three. Keith Smart hits the jumper. Yep. Yeah, that was. That was good game. All righty, let me see. How about this day in sports history? Paul. Hold on. I'm still soaking in. Steve Alfred's so jealous. By the way, The Nets had 61 three point attempts last night in their loss to the Thunder. I still would love to cap the three point shots at 30. Each team gets 30. Use them accordingly. Okay, Paul. Let's see. Oh, the NCAA in 1987 gave the death penalty to SMU football. They're back now. Yeah, they are. Emma Smith in 2003 became a free agent. Then he went to the Cardinals and. Oh, this is awkward. 2002, the Houston Astros announced they would strike a deal with Enron to buy back the naming rights. And they went by Astros Field for a while. 1959, Bob Cousy sets an NBA record. 28 assists as the Celtics beat the Lakers. 28 assists for Bob Cousy. He's a magician out there. Nobody thinks to make him go left. Unstoppable. We've never seen anything like Bob Cousy. He's a whirling dervish. He's going against plumbers and electricians. He's got 28 assists. Todd, what did you. Are you going to watch Hoosiers, by the way, Marvin, I am this week. Okay, Todd, what'd you learn today? You are totally tushed out. And that's why you didn't ask Albert Brear about the Tush push play. Yeah, I just like, sometimes I got to take a little time away from it. Seaton, what'd you learn? Koozie's mad as a hatter. Marvin, what did you learn? I'm gonna hang out with Steve Alford. To Indiana? Yes. He could give you some shooting tips. Paulie, what'd you learn? It was Hoosier's day today.
