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. I love writing more than anything. You're left alone, you know, you do three Hours in the morning, you write.
- [02:22]
Michael Vick
Three hours in the afternoon.
- [02:23]
Dan Patrick
Go pick up a kid from school and write at night. And after nine hours you come out with seven pages and then you're, you're moving on. Listen to here's the thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Ten days until the Super Bowl. It's seven years ago today, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to trade Alex Smith to Washington. So we're at the Super Bowl. We had gotten word that Alex Smith was probably going to be traded. He was with us on the show and we couldn't get anything out of him. But he knew that he didn't, he didn't really know where he was going. He knew that he was going to be traded from Kansas City. And then we get done with our show in Minneapolis. Two hours later, Alex Smith is traded to Washington for a defensive back and a third round pick. He had gone 9 and 6 as a starter in Kansas City in 2017. In the previous four seasons, he had won 11 games three times. And his stats, when he was traded From Kansas City 2017, he threw for 4,000 yards. He had 26 touchdowns, five interceptions. Those are good numbers. But they knew what they had with Patrick Mahomes. They traded up to get Mahomes and Alex Smith was dead man walking. This happened with San Francisco, with Colin Kaepernick. Jim Harbaugh made that move, but Andy Reid made a move. The Kansas City Chiefs made a move that changed NFL history and paved the way for AFC title games, Super Bowls and maybe what will turn out to be the greatest quarterback in history. That was seven years ago today. And I remember talking to Paulie, I go, how do I get that information out of him? Because he's smart enough to know that I'm going to ask him about it. Does he really know? What's he. You don't want to ruin the deal. And he was going to get a lot of money. I think he got a four year extension, around 90 some million, 71 million guaranteed. He was going to do well. Now we know that he got injured with Washington, but he had a good career. He had good numbers with San Francisco, good numbers with Kansas City. And then his career cut short with the injury in Washington. But seven years ago, taking a chance and taking a chance. Eight years ago, when you think about what they did in the draft and the fact that the New Orleans Saints and Sean Payton said this, they were taking Patrick Mahomes how would NFL history look if the Saints had taken him? What would that have meant for Drew Brees and Breeze? Getting older. Sean Payton sees what he sees in Patrick Mahomes. I got my heir apparent right here. Well, Alex Smith wasn't old, but he saw Andy Reid, saw something that maybe others didn't. Sean Payton did. Now, there are a lot of coaches. It's like with Russell Wilson. Yeah, we were going to take him. Well, you could have the first round or the second round. Even in the third round, you could have taken him. Everybody after the fact but Sean Payton said, hey, we wanted him. Kansas City was going to go get him. And it was during that week, an NFL scout source of mine said, you should get Patrick Mahomes on. He's moving up the draft board. And I said to Fritzi, hey, see if we can get Mahomes now. We couldn't, but, you know, I was given a heads up that he was moving up. Didn't know where, but he was moving up. And then he lands in Kansas City and you're like, yeah, why would they go get him? Alex Smith's a good quarterback. And then we realized soon after that, when he threw for 50 touchdowns, who was the quarterback prior to Patrick Mahomes? Yeah, that was Alex Smith. And even the draft profile, you know, he was going to be, you know, the second coming of Brett Favre. He's a gunslinger. Those games, nobody played defense in the Big 12, which is true. But I don't think people saw the intelligence of Patrick Mahomes. I think they just saw that he kind of ran around, you know, Texas Tech. Unless you really love football, you're not going to find Texas Tech games unless they're playing against somebody. The first time I saw him, it was Oklahoma State. And, you know, they're always shootouts. It's like 4240. And I kept thinking, well, it's another Texas Tech quarterback. They always have big numbers. You know, Mike Leach always has that offense. They're going to get, you know, 35, 40 points. They'll lead the nation in passing, but then they don't do anything in the NFL. But Mahomes was different. Yeah, Paulie, the draft profile. We've talked about this from NFL.com. inconsistent gunslinger. Reckless. Not an athlete, more of a scrambler. They critique his throwing motion. It was the word project is used on a couple different websites. But the Chiefs, they didn't start in week four. They didn't have to start in week four.
- [07:40]
Michael Vick
That.
- [07:40]
Dan Patrick
I don't know how much that helped his rookie year. Yeah. You have Alex Smith, and I think Mahomes has talked about, you know, Brady's talked about this. He wasn't ready to start. He needed to sit and watch and kind of understand how the game moves at what pace. And Mahomes has talked about that, that he got to learn under Alex Smith. Now, I don't think Alex Smith knew that. Hey, I'm going to give you all the secrets. And then all of a sudden, wait a minute, what are we doing? Do you have Alex Smith at the Super Bowl? So this is seven years ago this morning that we had Alex Smith on. And I'm trying to get him to tell me where he's going to be traded. Where are you going to be playing next year? Good question. Yeah, I mean, you're not going to get much right now. I, I got nothing. I got. Sorry to disappoint. I got absolutely nothing for you that's gonna do. You know, in your head. You just can't tell me. No, I mean, I wish I knew. I wish I. Listen, I got a year under contract.
- [08:42]
Alec Baldwin
There in Kansas City.
- [08:43]
Dan Patrick
I mean, that's. Is there. I wish I was in control of this thing. Right? I mean, I wish I was the one that got to be able to, to, to do this. That's just not the reality. Okay, but if you were in control, what would you do? What do you, you know? Yeah, tough. Listen, like I said, I mean, you're, you're not gonna like this answer at all. I mean, I, I mean, I love.
- [09:07]
Bobby Bones
I love where I'm at.
- [09:08]
Dan Patrick
Right. I felt like we underachieved. I felt we, as offensively last year did some, you know, awesome things, you know, so.
- [09:17]
Alec Baldwin
But, but who knows?
- [09:18]
Dan Patrick
I've been playing along enough. I've been through this before. I know the trade deal. So I'm not, not naive to it. You know, this is a crazy business. A lot of crazy stuff can happen. And then he was traded to Washington for Kendall fuller and a third round draft pick. But he got $94 million deal, $71 million guaranteed. If you go through the vowels. A, E, I, O, U. That's what it sounded like. Alex Smith. So Paulie asked me the question. I'll be Alex Smith. What would you do if you were in control sometimes? Why? Yeah, he, he knew something. He had to know something because those deals don't get done that quickly. It's like when free agency starts. It's like 1201, they got a deal done in a minute. No tampering here. But Alex, you Know he had to move on and he'll be the Trivial Pursuit. Question or answer of who was the quarterback prior to Patrick Mahomes? Alrighty. 877-3DP show. Dylan, what's the poll question today? From the first hour.
- [10:28]
Bobby Bones
All right, then we're going to go with.
- [10:30]
Dan Patrick
Without knowing what would happen in the future, would you have traded Alex Smith after the 2017 season, which was statistically his best season, touchdowns, yards, TDN, INT ratio. Now, not everybody agreed that you got to move on from Alex Smith because we weren't quite sure what they had with Patrick Mahomes. So to be fair to. Oh yeah, everybody knew. They didn't. Not everybody knew. Leading up to the draft, if everybody knew what Patrick Mahomes was going to be, Kansas City wouldn't have been the only team trading up to get him. He would have been taken well before Mitch Trubisky to send that. Yeah. What would his career been like if he played for the Bears? There's certain organizations where you go, if that guy had gone to that organization, would he have been a great like Tom Brady? If he went to Cleveland, would he have been Tom Brady? No. If Mahomes doesn't go to Kansas City, he's not one of the great quarterbacks of all time. But in the system. By the way, I know that there's a, I don't know, a documentary or there's a three part series about, you know, it's Brady versus Belichick. Chris Mad Dog Russo was talking about this, that he's hosting this. Are we going to do that to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? Why do we do it for Brady and Belichick? Now I know there's no conflict. It'd be like if Mahomes left and let's say he went to the jets and won a Super bowl, would we then have this argument of, I don't know who's better, Patrick Mo, who who was more responsible, Mahomes or Andy Reid? But we do that with Brady and Belichick, although they've done a pretty good job of complimenting each other. I'll go back to the super bowl when the Patriots lost to the Eagles and I interviewed Brady prior to that was during super bowl week. And I said, do you think you'll ever sit down with Bill and reminisce? And he looked at me like, you gotta be. That's the dumbest question. He goes, no, but now they're sitting down and reminiscing and, you know, verbal bouquets and everything is good in Fact, Bill Belichick was on the Jim Gray podcast, the let's Go podcast, and talking about Tom Brady and the super bowl trophy. Players win games. You can't win games without good players. I don't care who the coach is. It's impossible. You can't win without good players. I mean, it's, you know, it's Brady, it's McGinnis, it's Frable, it's Brusky, it's Corey Dillon, it's Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Lawyer Malloy, Ty Law, Rodney Harrison. Those are the guys that won the games, man. I didn't make any tackles. I didn't make any kicks. That was Venatori that made that kick. In 4 inches of snow, you got to have good players. They don't name it the Star trophy. It's named the Lombardi Trophy. Maybe they should name it the Brady Trophy. He won seven of them. Okay. It's a throwaway line by Bill Good. Follow up by Jim Gray. They don't call it the Bart Star Trophy. They call it the Lombardi Trophy. We'll revisit this coming up a little bit because I got a few more thoughts about this and naming the super bowl trophy after Tom Brady. I have some other options there. So what other poll questions are we thinking about? First hour, Dylan? Well, going off that, then we can go with should the Lombardi Trophy be renamed the Brady Trophy, yes or no? Let me save that. Okay, I'm going to save that. Seaton is on the road. We'll hear from him later on this morning. And thanks to Mako. Go to danpatrick.com follow the road to New Orleans. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc. At Mako, they bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs, light collision repairs. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. All right, so we will discuss that a little bit. Also, when we had the NBA commissioner Adam Silver on yesterday and I said, hey, give me some wild suggestions and we'll bring back just the comment that he talked about of making these games 40 minute, not 48 minute games, 10 minute quarters. And I don't think he realized it was going to explode. And I did try to warn him that it was going to take off. And maybe he did know, maybe he did want to gauge the reaction to something like this. And I was surprised at some of the reaction. We'll talk about that. And there were certain news organizations that kept it in context, which I appreciate. And there are other ones that have misleading headlines in there because this was just wild things that you're thinking about, maybe two free throws if you get fouled on a three point shot. And then he dropped the bomb where he said, why don't we make it universal? This is what they do in the Olympics, this is what they do in Europe. Maybe we'll have 40 minute games, 10 minute quarters and not 48. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Dan Patrick
Listen to the Official Yellowstone Podcast now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's go to work. Michael Vick, Norfolk State head football coach, four time Pro Bowler number one pick in the draft why? Why can't Saquon Barkley win the mvp? Why won't he win the mvp?
- [21:12]
Alec Baldwin
I'm not saying he won't. I don't.
- [21:14]
Dan Patrick
He's not going to win it, Mike.
- [21:16]
Alec Baldwin
It's possible he could win it. I mean, if he win the super bowl. Just say if he was. The Philadelphia Eagles happen to win the Super Bowl. You're looking at a guy who's been, you know, one of the greatest at the position and in many, many years of football. So it's very possible that he can win the mvp. It's not out of the question just because he's a running that whole narrative. I don't know where it comes from, but Saquon has done some things that only about, if I'm saying this correctly, five to 10 running backs have done in the history of the National Football League.
- [21:50]
Dan Patrick
I think it's five.
- [21:51]
Alec Baldwin
So let's not forget that. Yeah, so that's an elite group that's like the top echelon.
- [21:56]
Dan Patrick
But if he's not going to win it, because the voting's already done, if he's not going to win it this year to rush for 2,000 yards, twice as many as he had with the Giants the previous year. He changed the Eagles offense. He's a home run hitter. It's a great story. The Giants didn't want him. I know Lamar had a wonderful year, but I don't think a running back's going to win an MVP in my lifetime, Mike.
- [22:21]
Alec Baldwin
I mean you can, you can never say never. I say that. I mean and I think about it because I'm, I'm kind of with you. I mean as I think over the years. But it shouldn't just be an award that's granted to a running back. I mean, a quarterback. It should be opportunity for a running back or a receiver, defensive player. It's. It should not be QB bias at all. And so, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if Lamar won it or Josh won it because those guys, they truly deserve it as well. But it's only one trophy to go around. But I mean, Saquon, if he wins the, if he wins the Super Bowl.
- [23:00]
Dan Patrick
I think, you know, I think that'll be a nice.
- [23:03]
Alec Baldwin
It'll already be decided by then. Yeah, I'm sorry, because the honors is the night before, so I got the sequence out of order.
- [23:11]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but that's a nice consolation prize, Mike.
- [23:13]
Alec Baldwin
Yeah.
- [23:14]
Dan Patrick
If he doesn't win the regular season MVP but ends up winning this.
- [23:18]
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, I, I really feel like it should be decided once the season is over, you know, when, once the team is, you know, granting that super bowl trophy, then you can say it might be a guy on the, on the super bowl winning team. It might not. But I think that takes precedent because what if that guy's having a Super bowl type caliber season, you know, MVP caliber season, and then he goes into the super bowl and win it? You know, why wouldn't he, he be that guy? Especially if you put up numbers. But who knows, man? This is not for me to decide on.
- [23:48]
Dan Patrick
He's Michael Vick, Norfolk State head football coach. When did this idea start in your mind to be a head coach?
- [23:57]
Alec Baldwin
Well, it started many, many years ago in like 2017 when I was doing an internship in Kansas City with Andy Reid when he first drafted Patrick, actually the first year he got Patrick, Alex Smith was there. And so I was there, you know, just learning, you know, to be a coach and what it, what it truly meant, the work that had to be put in, I seen behind the scenes. I learned a lot. I just happened to get a call from Fox Sports at the time. And so, you know, having a conversation with Andy, we felt like that was probably the best, the best route to go in my life because, you know, becoming a coach and becoming a head coach, you gotta, it's a lot that you have to, you know, go through. You know, you gotta climb the ranks, you gotta, you gotta earn it. And, you know, it was always a thought of mine to put myself in a position to try to earn a head coaching spot in college football at some point. And I knew I would have to do the hard work. But, you know, working, you know, for Fox Sports is, you know, it's Helped me grow as a football player as well. You know, from watching enough film and watching enough games and staying in tune to knowing like how to compartmentalize it and put it all together and put a team together. And so the opportunity was a blessing. I'm appreciative of it. I had already conditioned my mind to be ready when the head coach opportunity came one day, if it ever came. And, you know, I got it. And so I felt like it was best to take advantage of it and looking forward to doing some great things.
- [25:28]
Dan Patrick
Seven years ago today, Alex Smith got traded.
- [25:31]
Alec Baldwin
Yeah.
- [25:33]
Dan Patrick
What did Andy. He had to see something in Mahomes that you trade away. Alex Smith, who had some really good seasons, fact that season I think he had 26, 27 touchdowns, five interceptions. They won 11 games three times while he was there. But what do you think, what do you think Andy saw with Mahomes that maybe you saw that, you know, is why we have Patrick Mahomes now?
- [26:02]
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, well, I mean, I can't say exactly what Andy was thinking, but he may have looked at the situation. You know, probably spend about, you know, four or five years with Alex and you know, you draft this young quarterback to build for the future. And I think in Patrick's last game in the rookie season, I think he had an amazing game against Denver, if I'm not mistaken. And it was just, you see, probably seen things and I know I saw things. Andy probably seen some things that, you know, was just kind of like unprecedented, the quarterback position and it's kind of unhurrowed and so you like. I know I can build with this, you know, might as well get it going now and try to just expedite the process of getting to a championship. Alex still had some good years. There were some teams out there who could use them at the time. And it wasn't like he ended up in a bad situation. So, you know, Alex wasn't coming off a Super bowl caliber season or he didn't win the Super Bowl. So it kind of made sense to do it at the time. But, you know, I can guarantee this that Alex and Andy still can have a great relationship to this day. And Alex appreciate everything Andy has done for him. So just Patrick's time and you can see that it was the right decision that was made.
- [27:15]
Dan Patrick
Are you going to try to schedule a game with Dion in Colorado.
- [27:22]
Alec Baldwin
To play? Yeah, Colorado, Yeah, it's a possibility. But you know what? It would have to make all the sense in the world. You know, it's funny, I spoke to Dion about You know, those type of games and scheduling, you know, big time games for the school. And you just want to be cautious when you, when you're doing that. You know, you don't want to put the kids in a bad situation. You know, obviously it helps the school out. And we'll pick and choose our spots in, in terms of what's the right team to play before I put them in a situation where, you know, it's a detriment to them. And when we do, we, we finally schedule that game, we'll be ready to play that game and be competitive in that game.
- [28:04]
Dan Patrick
If, if you guys had a 40 yard dash, now you and Dion, now he's got the foot problem. So you could probably take him, right?
- [28:15]
Alec Baldwin
I mean, I would say probably before that. Yeah, I probably can take him now.
- [28:19]
Dan Patrick
What about me for the foot before?
- [28:21]
Alec Baldwin
I was about to say before then, I still would get an edge to Prime. Cause prime ran a 4 2. It won't too many that could. I think he might have ran a 4:1.
- [28:29]
Dan Patrick
I think it was a 4:1 and change.
- [28:30]
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, he ran a 4:1. Yeah, he used to glide. Yeah, he could run. So I would get an edge to the goat, without a doubt.
- [28:38]
Dan Patrick
All right, before I let you go, what would be a successful season for you this year?
- [28:43]
Alec Baldwin
Successful season for us, I think, is to, you know, to double the amount of wins that we, we had last year. You know, as I watched the film and I watched those young men, they competed hard last year, they put forth a lot of effort, but we all acknowledged collectively that it was a little bit more that could have been done. And so, you know, you know, those guys, they, they around there, they talking, you know, championship. And that's the way they supposed to think and that's the way they supposed to talk. But you can talk about it, you got to be about it. And I think for us right now, it starts with our strength and conditioning program tackling the off season, making sure that we put in the hard work and we get to know one another, build that camaraderie come out of the spring, feeling good about going into the fall, and then start putting the right pieces together. So, you know, we know, you know, what we have in the building at the program, we just want to continue to strengthen that. So, you know, if we can get, we can double our wins, you know, from last year, I mean, I think that's a successful season.
- [29:52]
Dan Patrick
Will you be the best quarterback in the building still?
- [29:57]
Alec Baldwin
Yes. Hey, until somebody, you know, shows me on, on all accounts that they're ready to play on that level, and I'll know real, real soon, then, you know, we can, we can pass the torch around. I say that.

Dan Patrick
Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. I make the smooth segue from Jessica Alba to Jamal Crawford. He is the NBA on NBC lead analyst coming up this next season and former sixth man of the year. All right, unless you want to get in on this Jen Garner or Jessica.
- [34:59]
Michael Vick
Alba discussion, this is what I walk into, huh?
- [35:03]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Okay, Commissioner comes on yesterday, and I don't know if he meant for it to be a bombshell, but let it. You know, he's thinking about what if we went from 48 to 40 minutes in. In games? They do this in Europe, they do this in the Olympics. And I think the immediate reaction Was what are we doing here? And I said commissioners have to think this way. I want your opinion on if the games were 40 minutes as opposed to 48, how would that affect you?
- [35:37]
Michael Vick
I think players, the number one thing that matter, players of all, you know, statures is minutes. They want to be out there. So I'm not sure 40 minutes to go over well because they'll probably play a little bit less than they do and if they get less numbers, they probably get less stats. And I'm not sure that will go over well. So I'm not sure exactly, you know, what the benefit is. If we're trying to save time on their bodies, then we can do that in practice, we can load manage there. But I'm not sure what the, what the benefit is. I'm sure he's always trying, but there's.
- [36:06]
Dan Patrick
Going to be the same number of games, they'll just be fewer minutes. So maybe there's not load management. And I think the commissioner said if you take eight minutes off a game, that's going to add up to 15 games of, of minutes. So there's wear and tear on your body. If you're still getting paid for playing 82 games, then I get the stats that those would have to be modified if there's incentives in your contract that you have to reach certain numbers. But I, I can see positives with it. Not as many negatives.
- [36:41]
Michael Vick
It's a positive for sure. Like you said, it's the Olympics experience. It's just guys are going to have to not play harder because I know a lot of them do play hard, but they're gonna have to maximize those minutes because like I said, that's the number one thing that in the stats. Because stats, like it or not, they kind of lead to whatever else comes with contracts, etc, etc, not for the superstars, but for other guys.
- [37:03]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but Jamal, we want more minutes. We want you guys playing in more games. Like that's what the fan wants. They don't want load. Yeah. So I think if you can ensure that, you know, fans don't know who's playing when they go to games now, it'll be like Lakers versus Golden State. They can't say it's Steph against LeBron because they're not sure if somebody's going to be playing.
- [37:25]
Michael Vick
And the worst part about that, Dan, is that kid who got tickets for Christmas three months later, right? And his favorite player or favorite two players aren't playing. It's like his Christmas was ruined three months later, right? Like he's really, like, man, I didn't see this person. And that's the part that really sucks.
- [37:42]
Dan Patrick
All right, so the three point shot, everybody, it feels like there's too many of them. Do you change anything? I'm going to make you commissioner. What do you do with the three point shot?
- [37:55]
Michael Vick
What if you had a limit of three point shots? You could shoot the game per.
- [37:59]
Dan Patrick
For.
- [38:00]
Michael Vick
Per team. Then you wouldn't just have any and everybody shooting them. I'm not sure if the three point shot is the problem. It's the problem that we're letting anybody shoot.
- [38:07]
Dan Patrick
That's true. Yeah.
- [38:09]
Michael Vick
I mean, like when we came up, it was obviously Reggie and Ray and they were going to shoot more threes because they were the best three point shooters. But. And Steph should shoot however many he can get up. But that's not for everybody. The funny thing about that, Dan, is when it's the most important time, the playoffs, they're like, just move the scoreboard mid range, take whatever you can get. Lay up, move that scoreboard. Because the time that's most important, every point matters. So I think it's gotten to a point where we want to see a three point shot. We just want to see it by the right people. We don't need everybody shooting threes.
- [38:37]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I brought this up a month ago. I said, what if you capped it at 25 threes per team per night? What do you think?
- [38:45]
Michael Vick
I think every position will matter. Right? I'm like, what if we took the three point line out where it's like, okay, we're just playing twos and they're like, oh, we gotta really scheme. We gotta, we gotta value each possession. Obviously you can't do that. We love the three point shot. It's the home run in baseball. But if you can cap them, I think that could be a start.
- [39:03]
Dan Patrick
Do you believe in the Cavaliers or the Thunder? If I said you had to pick one or the other to make it to the finals, I would pick the Thunder. Okay.
- [39:12]
Michael Vick
And the reason being is they have a bona fide. I love the Cavaliers young team. I love Donovan Mitchell, Darius, Scarlett, Mobley, but SGA and I believe that the Thunder have a star on the sideline as well. I think Coach Dagen was unbelievable last year coming to playoffs. We talked to so many different coaches and he was one of the ones who stood out with how, how his mind works, what he's thinking. He has total command of the game. They're, they're lock and key. They're almost like a college team playing in the Pros with how together they are. How. Yeah, they, how, how they move together. Look at all their interviews. I know some people talk about them, but every time there's seven or eight guys there and they run in a pack.
- [39:51]
Dan Patrick
Well, they're, they're young, they're all under 25. I mean they are kind of a college team.
- [39:57]
Michael Vick
They are. With so many more picks coming in the future. Right. Like they're loaded. They always do a great job of development. I would pick the Thunder because SGA is, is the MVP type like player.
- [40:08]
Dan Patrick
How would you, what would you do to help the development of Wembanyama?
- [40:14]
Michael Vick
It's a great question. I would say for him there's certain things he just has to go through, but I, I want him to. One thing I would say is I probably would get him closer to the basket, gets to the free throw line. I think for every three he takes, if he, you know, balance that out, we're getting one free throw. So if he shoots 10 threes, get 10 free throws and I think that will always keep his scoring, you know, balance it, always be balanced. Even if he shoots 3 for 10 or 3 for, you know, 11 from the three point line, if he has those 11 free throws to counteract that, I think he'll always have that sustainability. But he, he's a joy. Like he is such a treat. He's. We see the unicorn talent but the everyday work role player qualities is what's going to really shoot him off the chart.
- [40:58]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I think if like De'Aaron Fox I think would be really beneficial. Like he needs a true, really good point guard. Chris Paul is not going to do it. Castle is developing. But maybe De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs.
- [41:15]
Michael Vick
I like the fact that if that's true that Dear Fox wants to come because he's going to get players that want to come play with him. Right. And he, he's that type of unselfish superstar. Obviously the spurs the gold standard, but he's a transcending type player. And getting a player like Dear Fox is closer in age a little bit to go with that group after, you know, this run I think would be good. What would you tell them dp?
- [41:37]
Dan Patrick
Well, I thought he was lost in his rookie year because he was just out of place on the court offensively. He just didn't put himself in position. He was getting bodied a little bit. He needs to establish these are my comfort areas, get to those spots or getting the ball in those spots. I'm okay with him shooting threes because I like his shot. And I think he's taking nine threes this year. He was five last year. But I like that versatility of. You think I'm going to be on the perimeter. I'm going inside. I think I'd develop a little jump hook there. I would. I would get that. I'd almost study Kevin McHale and just look at all the ways that he would score. That makes it. You're even more valuable when you go to the perimeter or vice versa. Now, you got to pick your poison with him. I think he's going to be the best player in the game in three years. I think. I think he'll be an MVP in three years. I think that much of him. I just think that he sort of was lost a little bit on the floor last year.
- [42:37]
Michael Vick
And it's amazing because I think I agree with you. I think he'll be the best player, but he's checking every box. Like, I guarantee you what you're saying will be part of his.
- [42:46]
Dan Patrick
His.
- [42:46]
Michael Vick
His palette going forward. Like, he's always trying to get better. He's always trying to learn. And he hasn't even, to me, hasn't even got his NBA meanness yet. You know what I mean? Like, he hasn't even got to, like, I'm here. This is all just off the natural talent and having hot and those guys there. When he gets his meanness, you know, 22, 23, 24, he's like, I know I'm the best player, period. It's gonna really be scary then, because he will be on his way to being one of the greatest ever.
- [43:11]
Dan Patrick
How often would you notice who's in the stands when you were playing in Los Angeles or New York? Anybody famous?
- [43:17]
Michael Vick
It was funny when I noticed it, but when the really famous people that I loved were there, I wouldn't make eye contact until I got rolling because I would be so nervous that they were there. So I would make sure I had 10 points first. The first 10 for me and NBA were the hardest to get. The next 10 were you. But the first 10 DP was so hard to get, so I didn't make eye contact until I hit my double finger mark.
- [43:38]
Dan Patrick
Okay, so Jessica Alba is there and you're not even going to look at her for your first 10 points?
- [43:43]
Michael Vick
I'm not looking at Al. No. I'm not looking at album. I'm not looking at album. I'm not looking at Jay Z. I'm not looking at Sandler. None of these guys who I really.
- [43:51]
Dan Patrick
Admire now, did you ever look at beyond like, you're not allowed to look at Beyonce if Jay Z's there.
- [43:57]
Michael Vick
Well, Jay Z and I are friends, and so. No, no, I'm definitely not looking at Beyonce for sure.
- [44:02]
Dan Patrick
Oh, well, you.
- [44:04]
Michael Vick
You know, Beyonce was there.
- [44:05]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. I go introduce myself.
- [44:11]
Michael Vick
All right.
- [44:11]
Dan Patrick
All right.
- [44:12]
Michael Vick
Well, you have been in movies, by the way, so you're a star there.
- [44:15]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [44:16]
Michael Vick
What were your two favorite movies you appeared in?
- [44:21]
Dan Patrick
The Longest Yard was pretty good. I arrest Sandler at the beginning. I'm a police officer, and then just go with it. I'm a nightclub owner in Hawaii with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on stage with me. Okay. Yeah.
- [44:36]
Michael Vick
You ever hoop with Sandler?
- [44:37]
Dan Patrick
Yes, I have.
- [44:39]
Michael Vick
What's his game like?
- [44:41]
Dan Patrick
He carries the ball. Oh, I don't.
- [44:44]
Michael Vick
I don't get the carrying. They said I'll care for 20 years.
- [44:46]
Dan Patrick
Don't.
- [44:46]
Michael Vick
Don't.
- [44:48]
Dan Patrick
I have a problem with it, though. He carries it constantly. He's got an ugly shot. It does go in. He does. He's. He's a good passer, and. And he's kind of a physical. He's a, like a Baron Davis built guy. Like, he's gonna bang around a little bit in there.
- [45:06]
Michael Vick
And what's your game?
- [45:08]
Dan Patrick
Just don't leave me open.
- [45:11]
Michael Vick
Oh, the guy who doesn't want the three point shots is saying, don't leave me open for the shot.
- [45:16]
Dan Patrick
Oh, yeah. I mean, I. It's. It's too easy. They've. You know, the three is easy. That's why I'd like to get rid of it.
- [45:25]
Michael Vick
All right.
- [45:26]
Dan Patrick
I'm kind of a Peja Stojakovic.
- [45:29]
Michael Vick
You shoot that quick?
- [45:31]
Dan Patrick
I shoot with the same results.
- [45:33]
Michael Vick
Well, if Sandler can get around, can I get joined? Can I get invites? That next one. Could I join?
- [45:38]
Dan Patrick
Oh, Sandler would love to play hoops with you.
- [45:41]
Michael Vick
And you, too. You got to be there, too.
- [45:43]
Dan Patrick
I don't know. I just, you know, I got to the point where I got tired of scoring. Jamal.
- [45:47]
Michael Vick
Oh, my God.
- [45:51]
Dan Patrick
You know that. You know that feeling like, I like to go. I like to go to the carnival where the baskets are smaller, just so.
- [45:59]
Michael Vick
He'S a fair shooter.
- [46:00]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you got to shoot. Yeah, I'm kind of a Mark Price kind of guy, you know?
- [46:05]
Michael Vick
Yeah, we're going with this.
- [46:06]
Dan Patrick
I'm going here. Off the dribble, quick. Maybe a Dale Ellis kind of guy.
- [46:12]
Michael Vick
Seattle guy.
- [46:13]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. There you go, Seattle. Hey, congrats on the NBC gig.

Michael Vick
Very happy for me. I know, obviously, you. You know, the landscape. Any advice for me there?
- [46:25]
Dan Patrick
No, you just, it, just have fun with it. I mean, that's all it is. You're, you're, you're seeing the sport, you're calling the sport. You're giving people things that they may give them something that they don't see. A lot of times on tv, we tell you what you're seeing, tell me what I'm not seeing, show me little things. And I think that's really important is tv. We get to see it. There's something that was in that shot, in that move, in that play that I didn't see, and that's where you can tell me something.
- [46:54]
Michael Vick
That's my wheelhouse. I like it. Thank you.
