The Dan Patrick ShowDan talks about 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and how much we discuss his performances in the context of his supporting cast. The Danettes unveil "One Dining Moment." And CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz joins Dan to talk about the upcoming broadcast of The Masters from Augusta and the challenges of calling golf on television.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Final Hour on this Thursday.
Jim Nance will join us coming up here in about twenty minutes from now. Got a final hour poll question. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock or listening on our radio affiliates around the country, we'll get to your phone calls. Operator Tyler's sitting by strange batch of phone calls today. By the way, the PGA Tour is in Senate, are yeah, San Antonio right? The Valero Texas Open that's going on today through the weekend, Golf, NBC and Peacock, and then we get ready for Masters week. Scotti Scheffler is the odds on favorite according to DraftKings, follow by Rory McElroy, and then it's a big leap to John Rahm, Ludwig Oberg and Colin Moore. Cowam eight seven to seven to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com. We had a trade in the NFL about twenty minutes ago, Adam Schefter reporting Patriots and Joe Milton, former Michigan and Tennessee quarterback to the Dallas Cowboys.
I like it.
I got a big time talent as far as arm strength known for that got injured his last year at Tennessee. I like what I saw with him, and I think this is a good pickup. They lost Cooper Rush to the Ravens, Trey Lance didn't work out, so you bring in Joe Milton and let him develop there.
A little bit.
Also feels like the more I read about the Niners thoughts on Rock Purty and extending him and giving him whatever, fifty five million dollars, I don't know, it just feels weird what they're saying about him. It's kind of like, yeah, we really love him, but we really love him when he's got that coach, Kyle Shanahan and all these other you know, players around him. And once again, that was the feeling I got when I was reading some of these comments from Jed York where they're sort of there's a caveat to that. Yeah, he's our guy. He's a top ten quarterback when he has Kyle as his coach and then he's got these other skilled players. What other top ten quarterback do you go, Yeah, he's a top ten quarterback, but with that coach and with those offensive weapons.
We don't do that with Jalen Hurts top ten quarterback.
You go, yeah, but you don't go well with Saquon Barkley and all in his wide receivers. We don't do that with Joe Burrow, don't do that with Josh Allen, don't do that with Lamar Jackson. What top ten quarterback do you say? He is as long as he has these surroundings here. And that would make me nervous because you're not going to have all of that talent around you because they've had to get rid of some big contracts. And are you going to be able to go into a game with Rock Purty and say, we got Rock perty, we have an advantage over you.
And the answer is no.
But the Niners can have an advantage because of you surround brock Purty with.
He's very good.
And you know, I know that Alex Smith still gets upset when I say he was a game manager, But I say that Patrick Mahomes is the ultimate game manager. Tom Brady was a game manager. It's not a negative. It's just you understand what to do and when to do it. And I look at brock Purty as a game manager, it's a compliment. He's been to the Super Bowl. Another NFC title game. But you know, as a game manager, you take advantage of the pieces that you have, that's all. And I think if you're going to be an elite quarterback, you better be able to manage a game. I think we get caught up in oh that means he can't throw the football. Well, Mahomes can throw it as well as anybody. Brady could throw it as well as anybody. When things break down, What do you do? That's what I want to know. But it feels like the Niners are kind of going kicking and screaming that, yeah, he's our guy and we'll pay him. But you know, when he's got Kyle's his coach, and he's got you know, all these other players, he's our guy. Doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement there, Yes, Paula.
Whenever management talks about contracts, I always think publicly that they're trying to send the message to both the fans and maybe the agent for the player they're trying to sign. Are the Niners trying to say, hey, you know, we can't wait to sign this guy. He's great when he has talent around him. We could use a little more money that put some talent around you. Make this contract just a little bit friendly.
That's what you're hoping for. But if I'm his agent or I'm brock perty, go get what you need to get, get what you're comfortable getting. Don't let somebody tell you. I don't want to tell somebody you know, what to do with their money or how much money they should ask for. If somebody's willing to pay it, then ask for it. You know you're gonna find out. It's just like Sam Darnold realized that, Okay, you're not getting fifty million dollars, Baker Mayfield, you're not getting fifty million dollars. And that's having reality. And I think that's important for these quarterbacks. Understand where you are, who you are, and what you need around you. Sam Darnold needs talent around him. He had the best receiver in football with him in Minnesota. He had as good of a quarterback coach as a head coach. And Kevin It's like if you go to the Rams, you got Sean McVay there, you get Matt Lafloor. In Green Bay, there's certain guys when you go in there, that guy's going to help you be better. And as a quarterback, understanding that, and it's not about getting every single dollar.
It's not baseball, guest Ton.
And you know want your team pseudo throwing your quarterback under the bus, and well, you know, temper your expectations.
We gave all this.
Money to the quarterbacks, so we had to let some of the better players go.
So we'll do the best we can.
But we had to give this one guy a lot instead of spreading it out.
Yeah, I don't like that.
They're kind of going, uh, yeah, we had to let a lot of guys go so we can pay Rock Purty. Well, you had a lot of guys and had an opportunity to win a couple of Super Bowls because you had Rock Party because he fell in your lap as the last pick of the draft. Now time to pay him. When you think about winning in the NFL, it's not just about talent, it's about the culture. You could have great coaches, great players, but having the right ownership. And you saw that turnaround with the Commanders in one year they moved on from Daniel Snyder. We're starting to see it more and more with Woody Johnson with the Jets. The NFL Players Association released its annual Players Survey. They graded everything from team facilities to treatment of families. The Jets got a cnus for family accommodations, a D plus for their locker room, an F for ownership. So these are the players who were doing the grading. So Woody Johnson does the following. He calls the report bogus. Meanwhile, Robert Kraft and the Patriots ranked thirty first overall out of thirty two teams.
What did Robert Craft say?
The results were eye opening and he acknowledged the organization must improve.
So there's the difference.
One owner six Super Bowls, another owner whose team hasn't made the playoffs in a decade. And you wonder why there is a losing culture attached to the Jets. They don't get it. He doesn't get it, and maybe they never will. That's all right by me, all right, So jim Nantz will join us. Coming up, the Dodgers are now eight to no. The Padres are seven and o Oklahoma City thunder of one eleven in a row or a week away from the Masters, Warriors and the Lakers coming up tonight.
So we have.
A bonus fill in the blank, and do we have a poll question for the final hour?
Seat?
And did I already ask you that. Well, right now we got up there.
If you could have Jim nance call only one football, basketball or golf. Right now, sixty percent of the audience have basketball, oh over golf. It's in second though, but I feel like that's gonna change as the hour goes on.
Okay, yeah I would.
I would say golf because if I asked Jim, you could do one more game, one more sporting.
Event, what would you pick.
I think he's taken the Master, yes he is.
Oh, how about if I take the Masters off the board and he's got one more sporting event to do. Yeah, See, he's gonna say the super Bowl.
It's crazy that the Masters was an immediate answer over the super Bowl.
Yeah. I'm wondering if I said, Okay, that's not bad. You can call another super Bowl or another Masters. Now he's going to say, well, I get to do both, which is true. But if you could only do one of those two, does Jim say the Masters on CBS or does he say the Super Bowl?
Guest hunt?
What about the AFC Championship or both final four games? This way, it's not the super Bowl, it's not the National Title game.
It's like one step but he doesn't do those anymore. I was trying to get things that he's still doing. Okay, yeah, but he could do one.
More of them.
He technically he still works. He could knock iron Eagle.
Out one night one day. You dig to that off?
Hello? Hello, Ian, I'm gonna hey Jim, how are you? Why didn't you scoot over? I think your seat is over there? Yeah, I'm gonna take over from here. Wayne in Utah? Hi Wayne, what's on your mind today?
Hello?
Hi?
Hey Wayne?
I just have a proposal story because we were talking about it. We go on vacation and going with springs. I gave my mother in law the ring. I get already everything set up, going to propose, and I asked my mother in law, Hey, where's the ring? And she looks at me and goes, I left it in Salt Lake City, and so don't allow your mother in law to bring the ring when you're going to propose.
I love the woman, But so what happened?
I still propose. I got down one me and was like, will you marry me? And she's like are you missing something? Like what are you doing?
Empty handed?
And I go, no, your mom forgot it.
But we came on this way and.
This town was special to us, so I just had to do it.
So all right, all right, I respect that you're going through with the plan and blaming your mother in law. Get off on a good start there with your mother in law. Mike and Vancouver. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind?
What's that?
First time? Long time? Got a couple of things. What's up, Pritty?
What's up?
I'd just like to remind you that we the callers are much back to show unscripted.
Oh I know that, especially today, I.
Know, right.
Yeah, And here's another thing off topic. What if the NBA had a designated three point shooter, like only one person could like shoot the three point where count tipt three, like the Warriors would obviously have, like Steph Curry.
Uh, you used to have that in the eighties, you had your designated three point shooter, Like, so it's happened before. It was just coaches didn't encourage the other players to take three pointers. Now everybody is a designated three point shooter.
Like when something like yesterday when you went Mark Sanchez and through in the my liner. Yeah, well so whatever you kind of like fritzed it up there. Who's like what happened.
But yeah, thank you, Mike. It kind of fritzed it up there.
Yeah, that's not a compliment fritzing it up that Fritzy, you kind of fritzed it up as not a compliment.
Yeah, that's like the context of that sense it kind of affing it up. It's that it's called fritzing it up. By the way, one dining moment, don't we have to play that next Tuesday after the National title game?
Marvin tradition unlike any other the food do.
We have a little bit of one dining moment from Fritzy that it's his takeoff and nobody asked for it. But Todd, hearing one shining moment after the national title game, he decided one dining moment.
Nets a car.
And no idea why it came out like that. At a chance to redo it.
Well, they tried to tell Todd, you sure you don't want to do another take He goes, nope, I nailed it.
The food food is very weirdy, just a little just a little more more, just a little more.
The food is served meats a cob no, a little more dissipation because you're.
So stopped.
In long sandwiches. They don't see your taste buds glow.
That's all just a sample of one dining moment.
At one dining moment.
Yes, the timing was off.
From the first second.
It broke some equipment back there when I hit that note.
I think it's got a couple of things we gotta fix.
But the fact that you thought you nailed it is what's awesome.
I think.
Yeah, And the guys in the back are like, oh my god, we tried to get him to do it again.
I go, no, it's called content toddy.
We've done yeah, yes, Marvin.
Look on, let's get quizzical.
He messed it up, and so Eric goes, hey, guys, guys, he has to hear the music, and Weeks goes Weeks our camera guy. He does hear the music, and the big germans like, oh, never mind. Then, yes, we tried to help him. You just you thought you nailed it.
There's a tone deaf situation going on, some type of tone death situation.
Okay, we're going to do an emergency fill in the blank. Can we do fill in the blank right now?
It's one line?
Okay, here we go, fill in the blank.
Carmelo Anthony is going to the Hall of Fame, the Basketball Hall of Fame. Fill in the blank. Carmelo Anthony's NBA career was blank.
Todd mellow, he's just Joe cool.
Seaton underappreciated, Marvin underrated. I would say, great, Yeah, it's great. Do you have of a word there, paulm fill in the blank, I under appreciate.
It's interesting.
One of the great scores of all time, one of the great players of all time.
No, no, great score. There's a difference.
Is that a slight at all?
We've talked about this before.
Well, no, I Alex English was one of the great scorers of all time, not one of the great players of all time. But then what's the window of greatness, like when you go the top one hundred players of all time, top fifty.
Yeah, it is weird because you're like, oh, yeah, he's one of the greatest scorers of all time, and then the back of you head, you're yeah, I couldn't score enough.
Though you could.
Score just a little more, would have maybe gone to not fair. Yeah. No, he was a great scorer. He was he was mid range buckets.
He wasn't a great player.
I don't know what else did he do.
The object of the game is to put the ball in the basket.
Yeah, sometimes you might have play a little defense because defense wins championships. Marvin, Yeah, but does Joker play defense?
All right, we'll take a break.
You think Carmelo it was great, A great player, Marvin, A great player.
Yeah, okay, all right, fine, Like, why are we yelling at each other?
Today?
Was yelling?
You?
Feels like you we started yelling at each other first hour.
I don't know if we were yelling.
It felt like that.
We weren't yelling. Get up yelling.
No, we were real yelling, not fake yelling. All right, we'll take a break. Let's let's get our act together. Jim NaNs is going to join us, for god sake. All right, let's take a break back after this.

Hello friends.
Jim Dant's Hall of Famer lead play by play voice NFL and CBS host of The Masters on CBS, But this week big time Houston Cougar fan joining us on the program.
How nervous do you get before watching your Cougars.
Play, Before, during, and even after. I love hearing you say hello friends, By the way, that a good way to start my day, my friend. But I am so stoked about this weekend. Listen, we all have that little boy inside of us, you know, that fan that still lives and has a place in your heart. What sports used to feel like. I have it with all things the University of Houston, so football, basketball, whatever it might be. But I am absolutely in love with this team and Kelvin Sampson, the head coach.
He's just incredible.
And I will be there in the stands wearing red and cheering us on against the mighty two Blue Devils come Saturday evening.
How much did Fi Slam a jama break your heart?
Oh? Big time?
April fourth, nineteen eighty three. I was sitting in the stands and Albuquerque in the pit at the opposite end from the Charles' game winning basket.
And you know that date.
As you can tell, it was only forty two years ago. It's still is very much in my heart. Forty two years ago. Tomorrow, it's it's front and center.
You know.
I got to tell you that was a pivotal day in my life and career because you know, people don't know this.
It's more than just having gone to the school.
My whole career really was channeled being on the golf team and the golf coach introducing me to Guy Lewis, the Hall of Fame coach for Houston, who said, young man, I'd like it to be our public address announcer at our home basketball games. And that turned into me then while still a student, hosting his coaches show on the NBC affiliate. It gave me cred. I was just twenty years old. So yeah, it's been a long running love affair for some reason. They even have a banner now right next to the names of Elvin Hayes and keem Elijah Won.
And Clide Rexeler and Otis Birdsong.
It's nuts come in rating my own NCAA tournament years and gifts. I've been able to do the tournament for so long, But in that eighty three game against NC State, I actually rode to the pit on the bus with the team. These were my buddies, you know. I named Clyde the Glide and we were just a very close knit group. Guy Lewis said, you come with us.
Wait you came up with Clyde the Glide?
Oh yeah, okay, you didn't know that.
Did you come up with Fi Slama Jama?
I did not. Tommy Bank did. Oh yeah, great writer, Tommy. Tommy came up with that. Yeah.
I wrote the forward to Clyde's book. And you know we're all of us are still great friends to this day. Well, they showed up last year when they had that jersey banner race and I love these guys. Anyway, here we are at Albuquerque and I don't have a credential or a ticket.
I just ride in with the team.
Guy says, meet us back here after the game, get back to the hotel. So I go into this arena two and a half hours before the game, and where do you go? There are no seats with backs, There's only benches. And there in the corner behind a basket was the CBS set and I looked up and there was Brent Musburger running through the elements of the show.
He was hosting it. It was Gary Bender. I love Gary. Gary and Billy Becker were going to be calling the game.
So I thought, that's where I'm gonna sit I sat right up against the set.
I mean, Brent was I really could have tied.
His shoes, it was that close, and I was just looking at him. I was the only guy in the arena. He was probably wondering, why is this punk hanging out this close? And I saw Bill Egan, his stage manager with whom I would later work, saying let's go through this.
And I turned around. I saw there's a tunnel prompter there and I.
Could hear everything was three feet away from me, and I mean I was mesmerized it. The great Brent Musburger, who I adore and loved to this day, was right there, and that was a thrill for me. Three years later, as fate would have it, Brent's now calling the games. CBS is in an arena that no longer exists in data. They have a set just like the one in Albuquerque, and I'm the guy that was sitting in that chair. Three years later, in eighty six, I was hosting the Final Four and I was pitching it to Brent courtside at the start of the broadcast. So I've been given a lot of blessings, but that's a very big one.
If I said, you can call one more Masters or one more super Bowl. But you have to choose. Come on what I'm a journalist. I got to ask these questions too. It's a good problem to have. By the way, you could get problem one Masters or one more super Bowl.
I think you know the answer to that. I mean, I'll let you answer it. You know the answer to that.
And as listen, I've been given the blessing of having I think it's the fourth most Super Bowl calls of all time, tied with Kurt Goudi. So they're all special. But I wouldn't trade the Masters for anything in the world. So yeah, it's important me in a major championship golf. We have the peach Championship. That means a lot to me, big time. I got to call the Open Championship over on the BBC for a number of years when the BBC still had it was the foreign voice over there. The only one I've never called is the US Open, which you know, would have been a thrill to have the chance to do a national Open because I care so much about it. But the Masters is just still It's again that little boy we talked about, what's inside here, what's inside the heart? I wanted to be one of those voices. I didn't care about being on television. I wanted to be able to tell the stories like the voices of my youth were telling me long ago.
He's Jim Nance and he will be calling the masters. What is this the fortieth?
It will be number forty.
Yeah, which in the Broadcasting Longevity graphic.
If you have it there, time can put it up. You're looking over it.
Todd, he can't do it, Jim, Jimmy to barely get you on the phone.
Hi, the great Vern Lunquist for the Broadcast Longevity Records.
So this is a eleven year retirement tour. Is that what?
Tod?
No, listen, I actually have it. We had this discussion on your show in twenty sixteen, Melissa Miller, my longtime chief of staff. This thing like just went viral last week for no good reason. It was not the story. I just happened to say it in conversation. But when it gets fun, like I am declaring or making an announcement, this is my retirement. I would never want that attention. I would never do that. I just happened to say, like I said on your show nine years ago, and I said to Richard ditch, and I said to many other people out there through the years, Alex Myers and some other guys, I said that would be, in the perfect world, my last show. I'd be able to make it if I could, God Willing, CBS Willing, Augusta Willing. I would love to get to the one hundredth playing of the Master's Tournament. And if that's the case, that if we did get there, that'd probably be my retire arment.
Take.
But I say that with a twinkle in my eye. Dan, I don't really think about it. I'm thinking about this show now. By the way, maybe I don't make it there, maybe I go beyond it.
I don't want to start putting a countdown clock.
On it, Okay, but I got a shot for a gift for you, and so I don't know, do I have eleven years to get you something or.
Yeah, okay, yeah, don't get me one of those rocking chairs.
Now.
No, I'm not going to get you that.
You know, the first time I said it, and you're one of the first ever said it to And we did a whole show on this. My great teammate Kevin McHale, not the basketball player, got a countdown clock and I showed up at our next golf event and it was in the corner of our tower and it said like twenty years eighteen days, and the second was going like you see down to times square. Yeah, And I thought it was funny. It was a nice gag gift, but there it was the next week and the week after, and it really made me uncomfortable. I did not like seeing my life go by like that. So you got to take that thing down. So I don't even want to think that way. No, there's no there's no announcement here. All I know is I'm less enough to be able to be there next week for the fortieth, and I'm going to give it my all but deep appreciation in my heart.
Can you show up and just play golf at Augusta.
No, No, I wouldn't probably show up anywhere and.
Just assume anything.
No. No, I would never do that. No, Okay, I've been invited as a guest, which has been a great gift. I played there a couple of times with Arnold Palmer Bible Way. I just a name drop on you here. I was one of my several of my greatest thrills, and I've had some really treasured invitations to play there, and I have through the years, most recently March a year ago, and you would you shoot it was a big number, which it was a really big three?
Was it three digits?
No?
Not that big okay, not that big nineties bad lea.
It's not that far away from it. But it was not good. And it took me a long time before I'd been registered a par Now.
I used to you know, I say, like, I played there a lot of times, but I would get stuck on You got to realize, I'm in my sixties now. I mean I first started coming to Augusta when I was three and a half years out of college, and I was twenty six years old. I could still hit it. I could hit it, I could take the club back to Parallel and all these things I can't do any longer. And I could shoot in the mid to high seventies. You know, those days are gone for me there in Augusta or anywhere else for that matter.
I always marveled that you go from March Madness, where your voice is used differently, and a football game your voice is used differently, to then the Masters, where your voice is used differently, and you don't have that much separation between March Madness and the Masters, but just gearing up and voice wise and then not gearing down, But like, how do you reset to go?
Now?
This is my mindset's all different. My voice is completely different. I don't think about it at all.
I'm glad to ask this question because if you did, it doesn't sound authentic to me. If you were to take your show right now and step outside from that warm fireplace environment you have, and you happen to walk outside and you were ringside for a UFC bout, or you were right in the middle of Auburn and Alabama in football, and you continued your show with the next segment.
Would your voice be like this.
No, it wouldn't be, because.
There'd be all this ambiance sound, there would be all this energy and excitement, and you would naturally feel like you have to push your voice to cut through that. I never have given that a thought in my life. I just go with whatever the environment feels like where I feel like I've got to take my voice. And August is not a screaming place. Golf isn't a screaming sport. It's much more mellow. It's more of a Truthfully, it's more like the setting that I'm looking at you in right now. It's a conversation piece. I find it a great challenge. I know probably most people think how challenging is it. It's not like calling a basketball game up and down the floor. No, I actually think it puts a premium on your ability to tell a story and to also be able to see what your skill set is as far as being able to communicate and your word choices and your phraseology and your ability to be succinct or long form storytelling. I actually think it's the greatest demand that I've ever had in my career, and I think a lot of people have done golf would say the same thing.
More concerned about the future of college basketball or the future of golf.
Not concerned about the future of golf. It's been around for five hundred years.
But with Live.
What about it?
Those players playing there? What do we merge? Does golf need to merge?
I don't know the answer to that. Now Lives, I think is in its fourth year. There hasn't been a whole lot of change in the last year. If you've noticed, the turnover has slowed down. Meanwhile, the PGA tour is developing a lot of great young players. Let's take a guy like Lou vig Oberg, who might win next week, for example. I think the PGA Tour is doing just fine, and that's not an indictment of live by any means. But my concern under question is future college basketball that may not live as we know it another five hundred years. It may not live another fifteen years because the portal in the NIL it's difficult. I don't paint doom and gloom.
I don't want to say it's about to be extinct. It's not going to be.
But what we knew it as what we grew up with that doesn't that model doesn't exist anymore, and some people have a real problem with that. This is I want to put a pitch in here for my school here, the University of Houston. As we go into this weekend, we represent college basketball the way we used.
To know it better than anybody maybe in America.
Our guys stay. We had everybody come back except Jamal Shad, who was done eligibility and went to the NBA. He was a great leader. I grieve that he's not being able to experience his final four. But we have guys that have been there four or five because of the extra COVID year, even six years for Juwan Roberts. And yeah, we have to play the nil game. But our guys aren't racing to the portal. They believe in their coach. There's a family culture there. They're all in and they love their school. They love their brotherhood and bonding with their teammates, and they love that Samson family. And in a day where we have to every year be reintroduced to major programs and say who are the newcomers this year, we're going to get to watch for one year, we've gone through a long stretch and yet we've had to see guys graduate. But by and large, by and large, we are the model that won back in the nineties. Our guys stay and they care and it's neat to see the word loyalty still exist and not racing to a portal. I mean, my last few years of doing basketball, I did the tournament for thirty seven years, either hosting or calling it. You know, I've seen five year players who were five different major Division I programs, even conferences. And you know, you bring a guy in, you train him, you coach him and the next thing, you know, the season ends and he's looking to see what opportunities are somewhere else. So I'm proud of this bunch. I'm proud of what Kelvin has developed. And this is our seventh time at the Final four. That's a major number. Second and four years under coach Samson. But we've never won the championship. We've got to beat a good Duke team to get to Monday Night. But maybe this is our year. We still get undervalue and underrated that someone say to me yesterday, Yeah, you guys are good, but Duke's this, this and this and this. Okay, I hear that every game. I heard it going into the Tennessee game. Are it going too the Purdue game? Orre it going into the Big twelve Conference which we've been in for two years and we've absolutely run away with the conference two for two, very strong basketball conference.
No, I like this, We'll say, jim nance fan, I like this the past. You know you haven't had this before.
I'm got to let it out somewhere, you know.
And I'm going to help you when Ludwig Oberg wins and you go Oberg.
Oh my, oh, it's a tribute to Dick Enberg.
I like that.
You know, you know how much I treasure the history of our industry and the names of yesteryear and Dick worked the Masters with us, probably the last ten years of his career.
Oh my, Ludwig Oberg.
Yeah, there you go.
That's not bad. I'll put that one. I'll put that one over.
What's that I say when McElroy completes the career Grand Slam instead, come.
On on the spot. You gotta feel it. It's got to be organic.
It's glory for Rory. He completes.
That's the bad. Glory for Rory.
Thank you, Let's go, thank you.
I'm going to tell you right now, glory for Rory. It'll make the show wins next week. It may not be the final putt call h. It will be said somewhere from the end of the competition. So when we sign off the air, the glory for Rory I will be channeling you Dan at that moment. You have my word. Right now, if McElroy wins, I'm going to say something about glory for Rory.
And you don't have to mention my name.
You don't know.
I was gonna ask you what kind of attribution now we don't run credits at Augusta, but maybe we can find a graphic.
That says glory for Rory.
Jim worry Jim n Jim Nance's words provided by Dan Patrick.
You go.
By the way I did my bad moment with CBS when they tried to hire me years ago. Sean McManus, Yeah, yeah, you never heard this story.
No, no, I was either hear it mid nineties.
I'm a big deal at the Sports Center and he wants to hire me at CBS. He said, pick any job. You can pick any job. And then I said, but I don't want to go to CBS sport because that's all you. I think you just had basketball. You had just lost football or something.
We had the turnament.
Yeah, but I was gonna also had We.
Also had a little tradition unlike anything.
They wouldn't have let me. They wouldn't let me not a sport. Oh no, it's.
Terrible championship, I know.
But I said that I was going to take Pad O'Brien's job. And Sean says, pick a job, and and I was so smug, and I go, but I don't want to go to CBA Sport. It's terrible. I mean we could have been cohorts. I feel like we are anyway we are we are. I mean I was talking about my Houston Cougars and a brotherhood.
I truly feel like we are. And there's some others that are kind of now we're in the same age bracket here.
Yeah, we've all been.
Fortunate enough to beat on the national broadcast for about the same length of time.
Yep, very lucky.
I think you know how much I love you and how Boston I know you are, so we have that.
So I do feel like we're cohorts. Cohorts is what you call colleagues.
Just remember it's glory for Rory. He is repleted the career Grand Slam.
You're wanting it right over the plot.
Now, yeah, oberg oh my ah.
Hey, what happened to the old sound alike contest we used to have about this time of year?
Well, when you lost your own sound alike contest, I canceled it. We had somebody who sounded better as you than you, and I thought, you know what I did.
I lost.
I lost a guy from I think he was from Arizona. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was fun.
I think we need to bring it back.
All right, I'll talk to my people.
Uh lock your people. I'll talk to my people. We'll see if you can work it out.
Thank you, Thank you great, talk to you. Have fun.
Appreciate you and your colleague.
All right back after.
This, be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.
Last call for phone calls. What we learn?
What's the store tomorrow? Those watching on Peacock, you see my sweatshirt. Dan Patrick takes a gamble. That's the Gambling Podcast, and we'll have that for you a little bit later on today. We're gonna tape it after the show with Shayan Irving Bad Larry Dylan, the graphics Gy. It'll be available at danpatrick dot com, PANDIA.
Hot Dog Guy these day is the graphics guy.
I come in this morning and I can smell hot dogs and it's it's about seven forty five, and I'm wondering if it's from the previous day. And then all of a sudden, I see Dylan with a hot dog and I so I say the seat and I go hen Dylan had a hot dog today, And seat goes Uh so did I I said, I said, that's sad. He goes, well, it was after eight o'clock, eight thirty. I mean, you're right, it doesn't sound as bad that you had one at eight thirty. Dylan had one before eight o'clock.
Definitely felt shame about you know, Am I more ashamed of the hot dog at eight thirty or the bag of gushers at ninety seven?
Clary in Los Angeles, H Clary.
Hey, thanks for taking my call first time, long time. Yeah, at six one two eighty, I had two ideas I wanted to pitch to you. The first was creating a Marvin Award for the player in the NFL Draft with the smallest hands, and you can make a cast out of Marvin Tan's for a trophy and then do an interview good content.
Well, not everybody is as good as sport as Marvin is. So if you're going to have somebody and they have the smallest hands, Clary, just they might not embrace it the way Marvin does.
I know, but you know being chippy is with part sports too, But yeah, think about it. And then the second one is for the sports semi submissions. I say, maybe can you guys maybe have the fans pick your submissions and kind of change it up, because I want you to have to get one before you retire. We got a this is crazy. You guys are the best.
All right, Well, thank you, we already submitted. I think we find out next week if we got nominated. But if we don't win this year, when we don't win this year, next year, the fans can vote on their favorite segments. But we have to let you know how this works. And I don't even know how. I don't have no involvement with the Sports Emmys at all. Zero, I say to Mario back room guys, you guys pick what you want. They sometimes run it by some of the dan nuts, but I'm not involved in any of that. Cindy and Indiana.

A couple for you, by the way, smallest hand size at the Combine this year, the Marvin Prince Award winner would have been Lusa Burden, the wide receiver.
Oh, Adam is Zuri Yeah, like eight quarter. He's actually a good player.
He is tough, having small hands though at that position.
Good hands, but small hands.
Burton, Oh, thank you, Jodd. Todd finally contributes this date.
In twenty nineteen, Greg Popovich got ejected sixty three seconds into a Spurs loss against the Nuggets. That's the fastest ejection in NBA history. Todd, what did I learn on today's program?
