A couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star in Nobody. Unbelievable. That movie was a ton of fun. And now he's back in the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters Aug. 15, Bob returns his hutch. This time he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose. It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train, and the Fall Guy. This film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie. You don't want to miss this one. Nobody 2 is only in theaters August 15th.

Tyler8773, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow Good morning, those watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country. Let me start with Scotty Scheffler rolling to the Open Championship at 17 under. This isn't about his greatness because we can talk about that. We have talked about that. But this is the personality attached to the greatness. And this has happened before. You know, the spurs were labeled boring because Tim Duncan played a boring brand of basketball. Pete Sampras didn't really have a personality. He was the face, the focal point of men's tennis. Mike Trout for a long time in baseball, boy, he's so great. But so this is what we're asking for now, growing up in a different generation, if you're of similar age, we didn't ask that of our celebrities. We didn't ask that of our athletes. It was like they do something really well. And we appreciate that. Times have changed now. You got to sell a sport, and a lot of times these athletes are selling themselves. You're selling a product. There's a lot more involved in this. But this will sound like we're denigrating Scotty Scheffler. And we're not. We're just stating the facts. He plays a very impressive game of golf, but we've gotten used to Tiger Woods. Well, Tiger wasn't a, you know, interesting personality. His interviews weren't very good. He just played in a way in a style that we had never seen before. It's like, oh, my gosh, did you see that? And he started at age two when he was on the Mike Douglas Show. We had watched him Grow up right in front of us. Then all of a sudden, you're watching him dominate the sport, and he dominated in a way that we hadn't seen. Well, we hadn't seen since Jack Nicklaus. Now, nobody ever said, is Jack Nicklaus got a good personality? Well, when he was dominating, Arnold Palmer had a great personality, but he wasn't the golfer that Jack Nicklaus was. Tom Watson, great golfer. I don't know if anybody said, man. But what about his personality? It's different now because social media and what you're selling and how you're selling it. And I'm watching Scotty Scheffler, and he just is methodical. This is what he does. Nothing's changing. This is the way he's going to play. This is who he is. Now, he did show personality at the end on 18 when it came to his family. I'm not asking him, you know, to be ready for Broadway. And he wants to share. Great. But I've interviewed thousands of athletes in my career. Some have it, some don't, some will never have it. Bryson DeChambeau had a personality transformation. All of a sudden. He went from, you know, the heel in wrestling to the good guy. He's high five in the gallery, and he wants to be loved, even though he's on the live tour and you don't get to see much of him. But with Scotty Scheffler, this is who he is. And if you enjoy just somebody going out and being very, very good at what they do, no frills. There you go. You got it. And the numbers, I know, you know, for such a long period of time, and for the most part, when I was at Sports center, we were waiting for the next Jordan. Oh, who's the Next Jordan? Tracy McGrady's the next Jordan. Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill. Nobody's the next. Nobody's the next Tiger Woods. Scotty Scheffler can match him, surpass him in some categories. Here he's on Tiger. He's not Jack, he's not Arnie. But that's okay, because there isn't another Jack Nicklaus. There isn't another Tiger Woods. There isn't another Arnold Palmer. And that's where you have to accept what you're seeing. Because when it comes to golf, we got spoiled for a long period of time because people tuned in to see Tiger Woods. We had, you know, once again, not seen that style, that personality, the expression like his personality was on the golf course, off the course, not a good interview. It's like Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter famously went out of his way to not say anything, but he made you feel good when he didn't tell you anything. But he was just a great baseball player. Certain athletes, you know, Mike Trout, we've had him on. We even said to the commissioner, you know, do you go out of your way to encourage Mike Trout to be more of a personality, to be more out there, ready to be interviewed, be the focal point? Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, he said, I don't want to be the face of the league. There's a lot that goes along with that. Hey, I'm just a charismatic basketball player. Okay? Is that good enough for this, for us? I should say, because it feels like with Scotty Scheffler, we're going, yeah, but okay, what is the. Yeah, but there's no personality. You can't put that in your bag when you've got on the golf course. This is just who he's going to be. So appreciate it for what it is, for who he is and who he's trying to be, and that is himself. Here's Jordan Spieth, Scotty Scheffler's good friend. On Scheffler's personality.
Rich Lerner
He doesn't care to be a superstar. He's not transcending the game like Tiger did. He's not bringing it to non golf audience necessarily. He doesn't want to go, do, you know, the stuff that a lot of.
Seaton
Us go do corporately, anything like that. He just wants to get away from.
Rich Lerner
The game and separate the two.
Seaton
Because I know that he at one time felt he was too much. He was taking it with him.
Rich Lerner
And, you know, whenever he made that.
Dan Patrick
Switch, I don't know what it.
Rich Lerner
When it was, but you know, to.
Seaton
Have his hobbies, he's always with his.
Rich Lerner
Family and they're always doing stuff. I think it's more so the difference in personality from any other superstar that you've seen in the modern era and.
Dan Patrick
Maybe any sport, it doesn't define him. He said that at a press conference. Winning or losing, golf doesn't define me. And I'm fine with that. You know, Joker, I don't think basketball defines him. I think that's just who he is. Remember the big rivalry with Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras? You know, Agassi was style over substance and had his own shoe and he had the, what, Nikon camera. And Pete Sampras didn't care about any of that stuff, but that's who he was, who he is. Even now, you don't see him but Andre Agassi. You'll see him doing tennis commentary. So I think we're going to be asking for something and it's not going to be there. Here's the one thing that I kept an eye on, and that is Scotty Scheffler when he's putting. That's what I want to know. You win tournaments, lose tournaments. Inside 10ft. There was a while that Tiger, I don't think, missed a six foot putt in years, but that's where you have supreme confidence and you have concentration. Scheffler from inside 10ft over four days had 63 putts inside 10ft. He made 59 of the 63. You will not beat him. You will not. No one will beat him if he plays that way. No one. Now you'll get guys. There's always going to be somebody who comes out of nowhere. That's what happened with Tiger. I mean, look at some of his great matches. They weren't against great golfers. You're like, okay, that guy's stepping up and he's going to take him, take him to, you know, at least make it interesting on the final day. And you saw that yesterday. There are some really good golfers. But is Justin Thomas, have we seen the best of him? Jordan Spieth, like from age 21 to 24, we've seen the best of him. Rickie Fowler, we've seen the best of him. So who is it? Who's the next guy? And there will be two or three that will be up on that. They'll be on the leaderboard week in and week out. There's a lot of times you'll watch the leaderboard and you go, who's that? And I follow it. Who's that? But if Scotty Scheffler is playing, I'm looking at the odds to win the four majors next year. Masters plus 300. PGA Championship plus 350. US Open plus 320. The Open Championship plus 300. I mean, he's getting into the Tiger category. Is he Tiger? No. But could he have the same results as Tiger? Could he put up similar numbers? What was the stat that they had? From his first to his fourth major, it was like 1,197 days. Exactly the same number of days in between Tiger's first and. And his fourth. By the way, Scheffler may look like he's 35, but he's 20. He just turned 29 years of age. Come on, he's here, he's staying yes, yes. That's a. That's an old looking 29. All right, let's come up with a poll question once again, introducing our starting lineup. Fritzi is back from his European vacation. Seton Marv, Paulie, Seaton, you're going to do the honors with the poll question today.
Marvin
Yeah, we're gonna use one of Marvin's here that he sent over. Most reluctant superstar ever. Scotty Shepler, obviously. Tim Duncan, he was a reluctant superstar.
Dan Patrick
Yes, he was.
Marvin
Pete Sampras.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Wasn't reluctant superstar. We also have room for other if we'd like.
Dan Patrick
So you have Mike Trout, Tim Duncan, Pete Sampras.
Marvin
Oh, Mic trapped.
Dan Patrick
Yep. I don't know. I don't know if Scotty's reluctant. I just don't know it. That's a, that's a tricky word. Reluctant. That means are. Are you. You don't want to share or you can't share. You don't want to reveal anything. So I think reluctant, that's an interesting word to attach to this.
Marvin
I have it.
Dan Patrick
Anybody else unwilling?
Marvin
Unwilling and hesitant. Disinclined as the meaning of.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I don't know if he's unwilling. I just. He might not be able to talk about himself or share or maybe there's nothing really interesting to tell you. You know, it just. He even talked about yesterday. He goes, you know, if I go to Chipotle by my house, I'm swarmed. But if I go to another Chipotle and trust me, I'm not going to tell you where that is, nobody bothers me, like, okay, like, wow, you can't go into a Chipotle. Yes.
Paulie
Marvin, you always talk about the difference between being a great player and a superstar. The players that I mentioned in the poll question, they're great players. They don't want to be superstars. They want to do their job and they want to go home. So I think that's the big difference.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. It's almost like asking more of our, our stars now. Now we're saying now, trust me, there are players, athletes who are overrated because of their personalities. Like they're a great personality, but they're, they don't live up to the personality as far as performance goes. Yes. Mark.
Paulie
It's almost like Odell Beckham was a bigger star than Julio Jones, but Julio Jones was definitely the better wide receiver. Ray, is that a better comparison?
Dan Patrick
Yes. That's good. No, I like that. Yes. Paulie.
Rich Lerner
It made for a frustrating Sunday and it should have been a celebration of, you know, he was like Katie ledecky swimming out there on Sunday. It was, everyone was in his wake. The guy was, I think he was six shots clear on the turn and he just part his way home and he did it so measured and calm. He and his caddy are having casual conversations about their lie like it's another the Honda Open and and it should be more celebrated how great he was. But it made for a the right word here, a non compelling TV experience yesterday for golf fans and non golf fans. And it's not Scotty Shoefer's fault that he's that great.
Dan Patrick
But it feels like we want to blame somebody for this, right?
Rich Lerner
He ruined our Sunday. He ruined our Sunday by being so awesome.

I'm Let me start with the T.J. watt situation, because it's something that we've talked about, and I kept wondering, what are the Steelers waiting for? I guess if you're all in with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, and then you have to be all in on TJ Watt. So why did it take such a long time to get this deal done?
Seaton
Well, so, like, first of all, like, what you're laying out is exactly why I never thought there was any. I mean, you can put TJ Watt and trade in a tweet and it'll probably get a lot of engagement, but that was never on the radar. I mean, it. It would be. It would fly in the face of everything that the Steelers have done, which ostensibly this offseason is to try to make the Most of what T.J. watt has left, you know, and going and getting older players that are more his peers, like Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. So the idea he wasn't going to be a Steeler in 2025, as much as people like to throw those things around, was never on anyone's radar. As for why it took so long, I just think that there's this fast escalation of numbers at so many different positions now that's probably made teams a little queasy. And I. I think for some teams, and not saying the Steelers specifically, but for some teams, it's almost like they want to see proof that, that, that. That. That this one deal over here is not just an outlier. Right. Like, that there are other deals that are going to come in underneath it. So obviously, that deal on the edge rusher market was Miles Garrett, which pushed the number from 34, which is where Nick Bosa was, to 40, which is a big jump. But after Miles Garrett gets done, you have Daniel Hunter doing an extension, and he's an older player that was in the mid-30s, right? That deal on an average per year basis, was in the mid-30s. And then you see Max Crosby on his, you know, on his fourth contract, I think doing a deal wasn't. That was in that range as well. And so, you know, at that point, not only do you have, you know, some data points that the T.J. watt deal isn't an out, isn't a complete. Or that the mic. That the Miles Garrett deal isn't a complete outlier, you also have some older players doing deals that are in that range. And so I think that's where it sort of became an inevitability that the. The Steelers were going to have to go that Extra mile to get them done. And the numbers are very real. This isn't one of those where the, the, the initial, the initial report is complete garbage and, and the actual deal is, is much more reasonable. This was, this was a deal. This was a deal in the 40s and you know, obviously now that's going to affect other guys, you know, like Trey Hendrickson and Micah Parsons.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I wonder about that. That, you know, these teams keep waiting and waiting and then it's, it's same thing, you know, with the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott, you know, like you're waiting and you're waiting. Do you need to wait? Michael Parsons Waiting, Waiting. I, I just don't understand the logic. But these are billionaires and I don't understand their logic. So help me understand. Gary Jones is waiting for.
Seaton
Yeah, I mean, Dan, aren't the Eagles a great example, right, like of the doing it the other way? I mean, they got devonte Smith done early. That deal looks very reasonable. They've kept redoing A.J. brown's deal. You know, like they took advantage of Saquon Barkley in a depressed running back market. Like there are teams that have, have moved faster on these things, you know, and so I'm with you 100% on that. On where like that the waiting for, waiting to, to do a deal usually just costs you money.
Dan Patrick
Explain this where it. And once again, the timing of a story coming out is really important of how big it is or how small it is. The. Nick Saban may come back to coaching and you had, you know, his, one of his former quarterbacks saying he had a good source here. Paul Fine Bomb said this now, like, what is this leaning to with Nick Saban?
Seaton
So I would say that like, maybe there's an itch that he wants to scratch or he wants to at least explore scratching in the NFL. You know, I know. I think Urban Meyer was on the air somewhere. I think he was, he was with Colin or someone like that. Like, and, and he, he said something along the lines of like, I, he's like I, like, he's like, I, I don't think he'll do it in college because of all of the reasons that he left college football in the first place. But I could see him doing it in the right like. And so, you know, I, I think the possibility exists that maybe he looks at it and says if there is a situation where I can win quickly, where there's a quarterback, I don't feel completely satisfied with what happened in Miami 20 years ago. And he, every time he talks about the NFL. He'll bring up the Miami doctors and. And their assessment. A breeze. And if you remember Dan, I mean, they. People were picking them to go to the Super bowl in 2006, which was his last year in Miami. And obviously the Culpepper thing went the wrong way and the breeze thing went the right way in New Orleans. And so there's always been that question lingering out there. If the doctors had cleared Drew Brees in Miami, he would have signed there. What would it have become? Would Nick Saban have ever gotten to Alabama? So the same way we've always asked those questions, does he ask that question of himself? Especially when he's looking at it and saying the college. You know, the college game's a little too complicated right now. There are a lot of elements that I just don't want to deal with. But if I go to the NFL, I can just focus on coaching football. And if I have a veteran team with an established quarterback, I could maybe step in and be a difference maker. Because I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody. Dan thought coming out of his two years in Miami that he wasn't a good enough coach to coach the NFL. Like, he was fine as a coach. It was the program, you know, and it was. It was. It was that he couldn't win at a high enough level, quick enough to sell the players on what was a very demanding program. But he's adjusted in a lot of ways over the years, so it'd be interesting to see how he would apply that to the NFL. I don't know, like, what his appetite is for it right now, but I certainly think that if he made himself available, there would probably be a team or two out there that would be interested in looking at bringing him in here and whatever it is, five or six months from now.
Dan Patrick
More likely to coach in the NFL again, Bill Belichick or Nick Saban?
Seaton
I mean, I'd say Bill, just because I think. I think Bill would jump at the opportunity. Well, see, that's hard because I. I think. I think what's happened over the last year has. Has sort of damaged Bill to some degree. Do I think he still has a desire to coach in the NFL? I do. I don't know that. I'm not certain how much Nick would want to coach in the NFL. I feel pretty strongly that Bill would like to take another swing of coaching in the NFL. So, just by fault, by default, for that reason, I would say Bill. But I think hiring either of those guys is complicated. It's like, almost like I've compared it to. It's almost like when you went when Tom Brady was a free agent or when Aaron Rodgers has been out there the last couple of years. It's like, yes, that guy's really good at that job. But for a team to bring that person in, they need to check a lot of boxes. Does the coach or quarterback like, the geography of the place? Is the team in a win now spot? Does the team have a quarterback? Is the infrastructure of the organization, does it fit that coach or quarterback? Like, I think when you're talking about these older guys, what limits the pool of teams that would be interested in them really is the amount of boxes that you have to check to be in a position where there would be mutual interest. So I think that's what Bill or Nick would be battling if they're looking to get into the NFL. On 26.
Dan Patrick
He'S the Monday morning quarterback, Albert Brear. How much pressure are the commanders slash the NFL under with the president of the United States saying, I demand that they return to their previous nickname.
Seaton
I like as much as this has been talked about, Dan, like, when I've talked to commanders people about this over the last couple of years, I like every time I go to them, it's like, that's not even.
Dan Patrick
We don't even.
Seaton
We haven't even discussed that. That's not even something that we would bring up, you know, and so, like, if those conversations are happening in the commander's organization, they are at a very high level and they're being kept very, very quiet. I would be surprised just because I think it would be a reaction to what's happening in the here and the now. And I think it would be asking for another problem to come up in five or ten years after everything that they went through and after all that they endured over the last 20 years in the fight over that name. By going back to the name, I think you would be sort of inviting that same conversation to crop up now. Maybe it would be okay at first, but you'd be inviting that conversation to crop back up very, very quickly.
Dan Patrick
And.
Seaton
And I think there are ways that, you know, that Josh Harris and his ownership group and Adam Peters and Dan Quinn can celebrate their past, can celebrate the history of the franchise, can honor the history of the franchise without going back to that name. And I'm saying that without like presenting my own opinion on it. But I just think. I just think, like going back to that name might help you in certain ways today, but I think you'd be creating another long term problem for yourself. And I just, I, I again, like, I just haven't sensed any appetite within the organization to go there.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, the only reason why it probably doesn't go away, like the Guardians, the Cleveland Guardians, they're not going back to the Indians. I think they've already said they're not. But there's no stadium involved. I know, you know, the commanders, you know, there's a stadium involved in this. And that's why I don't know if the president gets involved in that, gets his hands dirty in saying, hey, I can hold up this stadium situation here.
Seaton
And I, and I, and I would like on the flip side to kind of, you know, get behind your point a little bit. I, you know, Donald Trump did that photo op with, with Roger Goodell and Josh Harris in the Oval Office in May to announce the draft is coming to Washington in 2027. So I just kind of thought to myself, that looks funny, like, what's going on there? And so I started Googling like, you know, I googled Goodell Trump, I googled Goodell Biden, I googled Goodell Obama, I googled Odell Goodell Bush. And then finally, finally I found a picture of George W. Bush and Paul Tagliebu in 2003 promoting the kickoff game being in Washington. They did a photo op to promote, I think it was the Redskins and the jets at the time playing in the kickoff game. So it had been 22 years since a sitting president did a photo op with an NFL commissioner. And it was right around the time when the Pete Rose stuff was going on in baseball. And so, you know, I, I think there's some speculation that that could be tied to the Justice Department and the ESPN NFL Network merger. And would Donald Trump put his thumb on the scale one way or the other? Like, like, it does seem like he's like, like, like President Trump is, is, is trying to involve himself in sports on a bunch of different levels. And so, you know, I think that's the one reason why you look at this and you say, you know, maybe, maybe that will put some pressure on, on the commanders to do something here because it is such a big deal getting a new stadium built again. Like, I just, I have a hard time seeing them going back, but, you know, stranger things have happened.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I remember when, you know, I saw that the commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred, was meeting with Donald Trump and they were going to talk about Pete Rose. And I said on the air, I said, pete Rose is going to get on the ballot again. He will get on the ballot. Now, have I learned some things behind the scenes with that? I have. I just need. I have to be careful with that because I want a second source on this. But you know what the president was suggesting to the commissioner that, you know, these things could happen. We need to have this happen. And look, it's a victory lap for the president because everybody's going to go. Yeah, Pete should be in the hall of Fame, I think we can all agree. Should be in the hall of Fame, or at least put him on the ballot if you want to. But that's why I'm just curious of the logic, the angle of this with the commanders and also the guardians. I did want to follow up the NFL Players Association. Yeah, this feels like a mess. Well, it is a mess disaster. But I want to know what. What does this mean for the football fan? Because we can get caught up in all of this, and we know a lot of the people who are involved in this. But if I'm a football fan, why do I care what's going on? The unrest that, you know, people are stepping down with the Players Association.
Seaton
Well, I think, first of all, like, as far as big box decisions, like 18 games, it could put a hold on those. Like anything, the players have power over. I think now the union hits the pause button while it's sorting its own house out. You know, the other thing is that, like, you don't know what the approach of the next executive director is. Now, to me, like the executive director of the nflpa, that's one of the most difficult jobs in sports. It's different than the basketball or baseball or hockey union because there are so many more players, and the great majority of players are 22, 23, 24 years old that may or may not make a million dollars in career earnings. And try getting those guys to walk away from a paycheck to make a point, which is the trump card of any union, right, is we're going to take money out of the owner's pockets by staging a work stoppage. So it's a tough group to keep together. It's a tough group to unify. And this is an opportunity now for the players to decide what they want out of their union.
Dan Patrick
And.
Seaton
And I think this becomes a seminal moment for them. So when we're talking about 18 games, when we're talking about the owners opting out of the broadcast deals at the end of the decade, when we're talking about the next cba, which will be at the beginning of the next decade, this could all look different because I think the football unions operated a certain way, you know, over the last 20 years or so. And this is a chance for the players to reinvent the whole thing. So they're going to decide what's important to them, you know, and I think that they need to take the opportunity to really kind of look in the mirror and, and, and, and, and say, like, what is the function of this union? Where do we want this to go? What are our priorities? You know, there are going to be some complex conversations with, you know, with guys who are on the executive committee with the player reps and it'll be really interesting to see where that goes. But when you're talking about 18 games, when you're talking about work stoppages, when you're talking about what the broadcast deals look going, look, look like going forward, international, like anything that the players can affect, anything the players can stop from happening, I think now, you know, the pause button is pressed on that stuff and you know, I think it's all of it becomes subject to however the players want to reinvent things.

Couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star and Nobody. I saw this movie in the theaters, and I was completely caught off guard but pleasantly surprised by Bob Odenkirk's performance in the first Nobody. So I'm really excited about this one. He's back. In the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters Aug. 15, Bob returns his hutch. This time he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose. It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass. And if you saw the first one, you know he can do it. So he's back again. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train and the Fall Guy, so they have a great track record. The film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. So they got a great cast to go along with Bob Odenkirk in this one. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie. You don't want to miss this one. Nobody 2 is in theaters August 15th.
Dan Patrick
He's greatness and personality personified. He's Rich Lerner, Golf Channel host, joining us from the coverage at Portrush. Great to see you again, Rich. How you feeling?
Rich Lerner
Good. DP Let me just begin by saying that you. You began as I. I popped on with Ashley Madison, and now we're. We're talking Scotty Shuffler. So let me quote Scotty and rhetorically ask, what's the point? Dan.
Dan Patrick
Do you have an answer?
Rich Lerner
You're really dumb. Yeah. I've thought long and hard, like everybody else, about who it is we're watching and what we're watching. And I've come to this. Scotty Scheffler is Leonidas from the movie 300, with the swarthy beard, the smoldering, quiet intensity. He wreaks havoc. He completes the conquest, and then he goes home to the quiet, simple life on the apple orchard to tend to his wife and child. Yeah, he is. He's something else. I. I think you inarguably, he's one of the best athletes in the world right now. I don't think you can dispute that. He's there with Verstappen and Saquon Barkley and Alcaraz Sinner and Simone Biles and Shay Gilgeous Alexander. But he's not a hot commodity, it seems, on the wider stage. So I wrote last night that maybe Scotty needs to show up on the red carpet at the Met gala. Maybe he needs to go insta yachting on the Mediterranean like so many athletes. Maybe he needs to digitize his entire life, but that just is not his thing. His thing is to play golf and play it to the best of his ability. So, you know, are we being fair to him, Rich? What's that then?
Dan Patrick
Are we being fair to him that we, we look for more, hope for more, we want more than just, hey, you're great at what you do.
Rich Lerner
I mean that. That's the bane of, of every athlete and every performer now is. It's. And I think that's Scotty's point is it's just never enough. He can only be who he is. And okay, that doesn't seem to be enough for people. And as he said, so he's won two majors and he'll show up in Memphis and they'll say, Scotty, do you think he can win the career slam? Scotty, do you think he can catch Tiger? And I think what Scotty's trying to tell us is that this is not the be all end all that if you get on that hamster wheel, it's at your peril. That if you have not tended to what's important in your life, that personal stuff at some point, the weight of all of this, the expectations that the roaring chorus of the never satisfied, the daily referendums on social media, all of that at some point will get to you if no amount of wins can fill whatever hole you might have inside. And with due respect, I think we saw evidence of this in the last 30 years with the two previous greatest players in the sport in Tiger and Phil. So Scotty, you know, is, I think, wisely tending to that first. He is something of a holy warrior, if you paid attention, he said, I've been called to do this. And so that suggests some sort of a higher power. I think the mistake that sometimes we make when we're looking at professed men of God is to think that because they've given over control to the higher power, that somehow they're resigned to an outcome and they don't burn to win. They're just okay with whatever happens. Scotty burns to win. He's just not going to burn down the house in the process.
Dan Patrick
Okay, at what point do we dip our toe into the Scotty Tiger early comparisons?
Rich Lerner
Yeah, I think we need to back off. Tiger was one of one. I mean, let's just, let's step back for a second if you want to do raw numbers. Scotty's 29 just turned. He has 17 wins, four majors. He won four times in 22, two times in 23, seven times in 24, and he's won four so far. I'll give him conservatively one more win, maybe two. So Tiger, at the same age, at 29, had won 40 tournaments 40 to 17, and had eight majors versus four. Tiger had 10 seasons, count them, 10 where he won five or more times. Tiger ended up with 82 wins. You're looking for sort of, you know, there's some ball striking comparisons that you can make in terms of, of sheer dominance over his, his peers. That's legitimate. Brandle has done that. I think in terms of gap between number one in the world and everyone else, I, I would say it this way. When Tiger won the US Open at Pebble beach in 2000 by 15 shots, the gap between number one in the world and everyone else was never wider. Not just in golf, maybe in, in any sport ever, than it was right there. Tiger was on the shores of the Monterey Peninsula and everybody else was in a rowboat somewhere near Australia. Use that same analogy. I would say right now Scotty is on the shore, the California shores, and everybody else is somewhere near Hawaii. Still quite a gap. Now, I will say if you game this out, you can begin to convince yourself that he could crawl into Tiger major championship territory someday. And that's predicated on staying healthy and all of that. And we all sort of agree that Scotty's. And you never do know, that's the lesson of the last 30 years. Then you never do know what's going on in someone's life. But it looks and feels like Scotty has all of that taken care of and has all of it together. So it would be a question of health and motivation. So he's four majors right now. Let's just say between 29 and 35 players. Absolute prime. Scotty wins one major a year. As we sit here right now, that doesn't seem far fetched. That would get him to 10 majors. That would put him ahead of some bedrock legends of the sport. That would put him ahead of Ben Hogan and Gary Player. Then you say, okay, between 35 and 38. Could he get a couple of. More reasonably, you could say, yes. That would put him at, you know, at 12, 13, and then you're asking for maybe three or four more majors up until, say, in his early mid-40s and he would have a crack. We'd be in serious discussions about getting the 15. That's where Tiger's at long ways away, dominant player. And absent the kind of, you know, sort of buzzy storylines that accompany modern athletic celebrity, we are going to have to enjoy Scottie for the pure athletic achievement because he will not dabble in that other stuff. He's not going to the Met gal, he's not going to the Mediterranean on a yacht. You're not going to see a whole ton of him on Instagram except for what he does on the golf course. That's about it. Enjoy it. He's hell of a player.
Dan Patrick
He's Rich Lerner, Golf Channel host, joining us from Port Rush. The coverage with Golf Channel Peacock and of course, NBC. I liken him a little bit to the Joker that he just shows up in place. He's not exciting how he plays. He does love going home. And there's just a, this is what I do. This is my job. And I go do that job and then my job is done after that. Whereas a lot of athletes, hey, I did that. Now my job is different, but I need to be out there, I need to be talking. I'm selling something. It's, I'm a brand, you know, all of these things. Whereas Joker one day just walks away. Like, I just feel like he'll just say that that's it, I'm done. And you're talking about Scotty. Like you said, golf doesn't define me. So he may just say, I've done what I wanted to do. Now it's time to do something else. Or I have a calling to do something else. You know, we brought up Mike Trout, Pete Sampras, Andrew Luck, Tim Duncan. They just, this is what I do, but this isn't who I am.
Rich Lerner
Yeah, they, I think what people are getting at and I like the comparison to Joker. You know, I watch Joker for the, you know, I love basketball, you know, that just, you know, for the pure art of how he plays the game, how he, you know, figures out angles, ground bound and still is able to dominate in a world of, you know, high flyers. So I think, you know, Scotty, it's. Why is he out there? This is what he was getting at on Tuesday and it's not for the financial Reward. He's made 90 million at this point, was not to be beloved. He's not looking for that adulation. It doesn't appear, it doesn't need that from the public. He's out there because again, he feels he has this calling. So what, what is the calling? It's. It's. You've been given this talent. Go use it, go inspire people simply by the way you play. There is no other ulterior motive there, which is unusual for Scotty. You know, he's not Bryson DeChambeau, who's, you know, so like nakedly and obviously in pursuit of love from the public, you know, and he wants to grow his. His YouTube empire. It's not Rory, where you have this kind of hope and heartbreak week in, week out drama, which is very appealing. It again, is just this kind of spartan, holy warrior sort of a vibe. And he's more. I would say at this point, he's more admired than he is beloved. I think he. I think he will get to beloved status, you know, just by winning, just by. By being great, being humble. Your humility is kind of not the way of this world anymore, is it? I mean, we're really in a. Look at me, period, in time. And that's not Scotty Scheffler. Again, he's just not going to play that game. So we just have to sit back and enjoy this for what it is. A guy who's all in for the right reasons on competing, playing the game the right way. He is a very good. Another way to say this, you know, like we say so and so is a great competitor. Scotty's a great competitor. He's a great game player. He. I call him Right Shot Scotty. He's. He has like a next level understanding of where to put the ball, what is the right shot. And Dan, I know you love basketball. You played it. I love hoops. There was a piece of video circulating on Social a while back. Scotty playing pickup basketball. He played high school ball in Dallas. He was kind of, not surprisingly. He was a glue guy, a defender and a rebounder. But in this one clip, he makes a simple bounce, passing a little pocket pass to a cutter. And the guy has a wide open layup. He misses it. Who's there for the follow but Scotty Scheffler? To me, it was telling because he makes the right play. Like he has this understanding what is the right play to make. Now there's certain guys who just have that understanding. My only concern going forward is, is where are the challengers? Who is going to, you know, look, look him in the eye and say, I want. I want a piece of this. And I. I don't know. I know Paulie feels like we're in a little bit of a, you know, a softer era. He's wondered, where's Lanny Watkins? Who would look right through you? Where's Nick Faldo? Who wouldn't speak to you for 18 holes? Where's Raymond Floyd? Where are those guys? So be curious to see who steps in here and wants a piece of Scotty.
Dan Patrick
I Wish Tiger was 25 years younger. I'm sure Tiger does, too, because we wondered who would. But who was Tiger's rivals? Like, who constantly stepped up, you know, Phil found the banana peel all the time, but who was there? Kind. Look at all. Most of the memorable moments with Tiger. He's going against guys who weren't big names. Yeah. I would say, in fairness, you know, it was journeyman.
Rich Lerner
Yeah, I would. Look, the guys who famously had some success against Tiger would be. Guy just passed away. Eddie Fury. The tiger was 20 years old at that point. They were mostly journeymen. Think about Bob May at the. The PGA Championship at Valhalla. Who took Tiger the. You know, to a playoff. Think about Rocco mediate. Tiger on one good leg. Torrey Pines, the 08 U.S. open. I will say, in fairness to Phil, you know, Phil won the PGA Championship in 2005. He won a Masters in 2006, he won a Masters in 2010. He shot 64 to Tiger 75. I'll never forget it. 2012 at Pebble beach, in the final round, Phil, yes, he slipped on that banana peel, but Phil had. There was a point in time where Phil figured out how to play against Tiger and how to beat him on occasion. VJ2. BJ was a hard man. BJ won nine times in 04 at a point where nobody thought anybody but Tiger could be number one, and Vijay became number one.
Dan Patrick
So.
Rich Lerner
But, yeah, at this point, I think Rory's the best bet. Rory's 36, but after that, I don't see. I don't see anybody currently that looks like they're at Scotty's level.
Dan Patrick
Do you get to go out and play Port Rush today?
Rich Lerner
No, Thankfully, I played with Paulie last week at Royal dublin. I hit 13 diving death hooks and, you know, in the. In the heather and the gorse and all the junk over there, to traipse through that looking for golf balls with my size 13s is just an unpleasant experience, Dan. So now I. I took the day off from Port Rush to be with you.
Dan Patrick
What is the toughest golf course that. That, you know, the weekend Guy can play the toughest golf course, you think in America is.
Rich Lerner
I think. I mean, for my money, Pine Valley, you get out of. You get out of. Out of play on that golf course, you're in for a long day.
Dan Patrick
If you can get on it, I would. Yeah. Pinehurst number two was not fun. Oakmont was not fun.
Rich Lerner
Oakland's brutal. Did you play it then?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it played me.
Rich Lerner
By the way, I'm curious, how was Tahoe and the. The American Century?
Dan Patrick
It was beautiful. Like, it's just. It's sort of our summer super bowl, where you have all of these guests there and they're all there playing golf. Relaxed atmosphere, scenery is wonderful. And we. We had a great time.
Rich Lerner
You have a celebrity. We have a celebrity story.
Dan Patrick
Do we have a celebrity story, guys? I don't. I mean, I go to bed at, like, 8:30 rich, so I don't know. I kind of missed out on what. What's going on. Late night there? Yes, Paul.
Rich Lerner
I would just say seeing it in person the first time for us, the intensity of some of the celebrity golfers, like Steph Curry, John Smoltz and others that were on the range way early, being very, very serious about the competition.
Dan Patrick
No, he's looking for, you know, something, you know, juicy here. You know, like gambling.
Rich Lerner
I give you some. I. I've covered, you know, obviously, the AT&T public beach program, back when it was, you know, the celebrity event. Used to go to the Bob Hope. Even been over to the. The one on the DP World Tour in Europe. The. There's one at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kings Barnes. I followed Bill Murray one day at Pebble Beach. You know, murray Riffing for 16, 17 holes. It. And when he's in the mood and he's on is. Is like watching. If you like comedy, it's like watching Tiger play golf and shoot 64 4, you know, and when Murray's out there, he's Carl Spackler, as you could imagine. You know, it's in the hole, that kind of stuff. Even though the ball is careening toward the Pacific Ocean, it's nowhere near the hole. But Anyway, Murray on 17, you know, the par three 17th, Dan at Pebble Famous, where Nicholas hit the flagstick in 72 and Watson chipped in 1982 to par three oceans behind, hits this horrendous tee shot right up against the grandstands, probably 30 yards right of the hole. Couldn't be any worse. And he traipses over the grandstands, packed, and he walks over to his ball. And somebody from the top of the grandstands stands up and looks down and yells at Murray, hey, Bill, Kevin Costner made birdie here. And Murray, without hesitating, looked up and said, kevin Costner made water World. I thought that was exceptional timing. And then on top of it, he stoned his pitch shot to about 3ft, made the putt for par. So that.
Dan Patrick
Great coverage. Great coverage again. I enjoyed it, as I always do. Live from the coverage at the Open Championship. Rich, safe travels home. Thanks for joining us.
Rich Lerner
Thanks, Dan. Appreciate it.

As a dedicated Danette since 2007, one thing I've learned about athletes is nutrition fuels performance. And the same is true for our pets. That's why gold medalists like Simone Biles and Caleb Dressel, they trust Nulo for their own pets. Nulo delivers what pets need to thrive, like high protein, recipes for muscle development, low carbs for stable energy levels, and probiotics for digestive and immune support. I've got three dogs, two of whom are super athletic, and they absolutely love Nulo. Visit nulo.com that's n u l o.com to fuel incredible.

The Best of The Dan Patrick Show – Detailed Summary Release Date: July 21, 2025
Introduction In this special edition of The Dan Patrick Show, host Dan Patrick and his dynamic panel delve into a wide array of sports topics, offering insightful analysis and engaging discussions. This episode prominently features conversations about golf phenom Scotty Scheffler, major developments in the NFL, and touches on celebrity news, all while maintaining the show’s signature humor and depth.
Performance and Personality The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the remarkable performance of Scotty Scheffler, a rising star in the golf world. Rich Lerner from the Golf Channel provides a comprehensive analysis of Scheffler’s game, highlighting his consistency and technical prowess.
Rich Lerner [04:36]: “Scotty Scheffler is Leonidas from the movie 300, with the swarthy beard, the smoldering, quiet intensity. He wreaks havoc. He completes the conquest, and then he goes home to the quiet, simple life on the apple orchard to tend to his wife and child. He is something else.”
Dan Patrick and Paulie further the conversation by comparing Scheffler to legendary golfer Tiger Woods, discussing how Scheffler's focused approach and humility set him apart in an era dominated by athlete personalities.
Dan Patrick [48:07]: “He's Rich Lerner, Golf Channel host, joining us from Port Rush. The coverage with Golf Channel, Peacock, and of course, NBC. I liken him a little bit to the Joker that he just shows up in place.”
Comparison to Tiger Woods The panel examines whether Scotty Scheffler could reach or surpass Tiger Woods' level of dominance, considering factors like health, motivation, and the evolving nature of golf.
Rich Lerner [50:22]: “At this point, Scotty's 29 just turned. He has 17 wins, four majors... If Scotty Scheffler is playing this way, you will not beat him. No one will.”
T.J. Watt's Contract Situation The conversation shifts to the NFL, where Dan Patrick discusses the lengthy negotiations surrounding T.J. Watt’s contract with guest Seaton. Seaton breaks down the complexities of the deal, emphasizing the inflation of contract numbers across the league.
Seaton [24:59]: “This deal on the edge rusher market was Miles Garrett, which pushed the number from 34, which is where Nick Bosa was, to 40, which is a big jump... The numbers are very real.”
Nick Saban’s Potential Return to the NFL Dan and Seaton explore the tantalizing possibility of legendary coach Nick Saban returning to the NFL, comparing his coaching style and success to that of Bill Belichick.
Seaton [31:13]: “I think Bill would jump at the opportunity. I don’t know that Nick would want to coach in the NFL, but hiring either of those guys is complicated.”
The panel addresses the ongoing debate over the Washington Commanders' team name, discussing the political and social pressures influencing the organization’s decisions.
Seaton [32:53]: “Going back to that name might help you in certain ways today, but I think you'd be creating another long-term problem for yourself.”
Dan Patrick ties in recent interactions between NFL leadership and political figures, pondering the implications for the team's branding and fan reception.
Dan Patrick [35:03]: “I have to be careful with that because I want a second source on this... But that's why I'm just curious about the logic, the angle of this with the commanders and also the guardians.”
Current State of the NFLPA Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback and senior NFL reporter, joins the discussion to shed light on the current turmoil within the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). Seaton and Dan Patrick discuss the potential impacts of the union's internal struggles on upcoming negotiations and the broader landscape of the NFL.
Seaton [37:56]: “This could put a hold on those. Like anything, the players have power over. The union hits the pause button while it's sorting its own house out.”
Future Directions The conversation emphasizes the critical juncture at which the NFLPA finds itself, contemplating whether this period will lead to significant restructuring or reinforce existing dynamics.
Seaton [40:48]: “This is a chance for the players to reinvent the whole thing. They’re going to decide what’s important to them.”
Paulie enthusiastically promotes the sequel to Bob Odenkirk’s action-packed film, "Nobody 2," highlighting its star-studded cast and promising action sequences.
Paulie [45:13]: “A couple years ago, Bob Odenkirk showed up out of nowhere as an action star in Nobody. Unbelievable. That movie was a ton of fun. And now he's back in the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters Aug. 15.”
Rich Lerner [50:22]: “Scotty's four majors right now... Would put him ahead of some bedrock legends of the sport.”
Dan Patrick [48:24]: “Are we being fair to him that we look for more, hope for more, we want more than just, hey, you're great at what you do.”
Seaton [32:53]: “We haven’t even discussed that. That's not something we would bring up.”
Dan Patrick wraps up the episode by reiterating the diversity of topics covered, from golf dominance and NFL contract negotiations to union dynamics and celebrity news. The panel's in-depth discussions provide listeners with a nuanced understanding of the current sports landscape, all while maintaining the engaging and humorous tone the show is known for.
