Chapter 2: What is the Brendan Sorsby scandal about?
World Cup yesterday, Ronaldo held scoreless. You had Congo tying Portugal. Ghana wins. Colombia, Austria, England with Harry Kane. He had a brace. Do we have the call with Congo tying Portugal, Marvin? Here we go. And they've got a point. The full-time whistle is gone. They'd lost every game they played in the World Cup finals until today. They'd never scored a goal. Johan Wiss has scored.
They get a point. One of the favourites drops points in the opening match. Martinez with things to think about. It's finished here. Great game. Portugal won. DR Congo won. That's awesome. And I liken it to March Madness. We've expanded March Madness. We're making it even bigger. World Cup did that. Went from 32 to 48. Now you get countries who wouldn't have qualified before.
They get their opportunity. You get to go against the big boys. That's all you want. Cape Verde, all they wanted was an opportunity. And we saw what happened. Congo, that's all you want. Hey, we'll take on Portugal. We'll take on Spain. Just give us that opportunity. And that's the fun part of this, is you get that March Madness kind of feel. Chris in Syracuse leads us off second hour. Hi, Chris.
Hey, thanks, Dan.
Yeah, I want to comment on one of the poll questions. And as far as Anthony and Rob, I know they couldn't find the body paint, but maybe along the route they could find a roll of duct tape. That should do the trick. And on one of the poll questions, I don't see the Knicks winning another title with this group.
Hard to win championships, hence 53 years, and everything aligned this year for the Knicks. Indiana's star was out. Didn't have to go through Boston or OKC. Caught the Spurs group in their infancy, young and untested. That will not be the case in years to come. And most importantly, the Knicks were 100% healthy and rested when accounted. Everything lined up just right.
Well, thank you, Chris. Yeah, they're all good points. And it's not hating against the Knicks. It's the odds are not in their favor of repeating. I mean, it's been 53 years for them. We've had eight consecutive years where we've had a different champion in the NBA. James in New Mexico. By the way, everybody thought OKC is going to go on a roll, and they still might. They got banged up.
Had they been healthy, they might have won that series, and they might have won the title. Hey, James.
Thanks for taking the call. I was just kind of curious about since NFL is becoming a bigger landmark internationally, could you foresee that the NFL team is doing kind of what the European soccer leagues do and kind of having programs over there in their sister city or what have you? to, like, bring that talent back over to their team. And then one more other quick thing.

Chapter 3: How does Cincinnati's lawsuit impact Brendan Sorsby?
Unbelievable. But I don't think it's appropriate for a father-daughter dance. I don't think so. Didn't they play that in Ghost? I have no idea. Well... Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze?
No.
Did they? Oh, let's get romantic. No, that's not the song. Well, didn't they have the song in Top Gun? The other song that the Righteous Brothers did? You've Lost That Loving Feeling?
Chapter 4: What role does Sorsby's agent play in the ongoing situation?
Yeah. Boy, they butchered that song in that movie. They ruined that song for me. Ice and Maverick? No, it was terrible. All right, let me take a break. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Chapter 5: How does the gambling issue affect college football?
Do it today. And you can check all of those out on the iHeartRadio app, I love the sounds.
The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place. Soccer. Football. It's home.
Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? Why do I breathe? I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S.
and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like it?
Actually, nobody likes that.

Chapter 6: What insights does Jon Wertheim provide on the Sorsby case?
Yeah, I've been saying all along, all these commissioners. Everybody was against this. You're gambling all you can. I mean, now we have teams in Vegas. Now they've opened the doors to the bank vault, and everybody's okay with gambling. I keep saying the 18 to 24, that is the age group you really got to keep an eye on because you're away from home.
You got maybe a little bit of cash, or maybe you're exposing yourself that you now need a little extra cash. Here's a kid who had NIL money. I just think it's a really, really slippery slope. Yeah, look at these sportsbooks and look who their target is. And we talk about the frontal cortex of the male, and we talk about not understanding personal finance.
Now, A, you have this subset that actually has money in their pocket now.
b these are inherently competitive people anyway and they have inside information they have the opportunity to affect outcome we're talking about maybe you talk to people who are casual observers and they talk about point shaving and you sort of have to explain we're not talking point shaving we're talking about whether jonte porter gets off the bench with a bogus eye injury for 11 minutes or whether the the third pitch of the second inning is in the dirt um
It's a really bad sort of set of circumstances, and you put it all together, and you've got sort of, you know, you've got young men and everything we know about them with money in their pocket, the ability to impact games, this inherently competitive strain anyway, and sort of what you think was going to happen.
I saw that you profiled Lameen Yamal on 60 Minutes this past Sunday, and he's 18, I think 19 next month. And I was curious, how do you go about picking him? Obviously, a bright future, but you focused on an 18-year-old who, by all intents and purposes, is the future of the sport. Yeah, I think the last time the World Cup came around, we did, like, Panini trading cards.
That was our big World Cup. And we said, you know what? Let's pick an actual athlete this time. So this was, you know, several months in planning. My dear producer, Dragan Mihaljevic. I mean, full disclosure, I'm not the world's greatest soccer fan. Like... Buddy Grant Wall would always take me to bars and games. It was like... I would say it was like opera.
Like, I know I was supposed to like it, and just... It's on me. It's my shortcoming. But, no, we went over to Barcelona, and we found this kid. He was 18 years old. He was the star of the Euros two years ago. We figured he was going to have a big impact on World Cup, and it was... It was wild.
I mean, it was a great window to me on sort of the difference between developing talent in sports in Europe versus the U.S. I mean, he had been cited by Barcelona. It's like if the Mavericks found Cooper Flagg at age nine and said, hey, come move to Dallas and we'll feed you, we'll train you, you'll learn our offense, we'll monitor all your biometrics, and we own you.

Chapter 8: How does the World Cup influence soccer culture in the U.S.?
Although 10,000 New York City police officers can help that. But it looks like everybody is playing nice. We haven't had our two backroom guys check in in a while, Rob and Anthony. But they are somewhere there in the parade. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. By the way, the Scottish have taken over Boston.
The Scottish may take Boston. Scotland and Boston and these fans? Wow. Wow. Even Dylan's impressed. Yeah, Boston is not known as being a slouch in the drinking department as a city either, and they're being run dry by the tartan army. They're drinking out a bar. They're running out of supplies in certain bars in Boston with the Scottish. Yeah, Paulie.
This one pub reported that the Scottish fans drank three times what they usually sell on St. Patrick's Day, which is their busiest day of the year.
That's a shot at the Irish here. Wow. Okay. We should go up there and settle it. Yeah. You first. Yeah. I'm Irish and Scottish, so I'll be two-fisted, double-fisted. Yes. Yes, Dylan. I saw, I think it was like the main Sam Adams tap room ran out of beer. I'm like, shouldn't that be effectively a limitless supply?
Hottest rookies, biggest superstars, the old-time greats, the only place to collect them all. Panini Trading Cards, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Start or continue your collection now. PaniniAmerica.net. Interesting story. John Wertheim is 60 Minutes. He profiled Caitlin Clark a couple of years ago. And with the caveat, now he was having a hard time
getting in touch with somebody. He had actually talked to Paulie. I don't even know who to talk to here. And it's basically parents and an agent. And they didn't want to do a profile. And I think they agreed to a profile in 60 minutes. They were trying to tamp down all the spotlight on her. They wanted it. She said, according to John, hey, I'll do it, but this should be on the WNBA.
And if you look at the profile, they were certainly kind of guiding the profile that way. But she'd had all the attention. That was part of the problem. She had too much attention. But the shoe thing, I'm baffled. And Dan Wetzel wrote a column for the Mothership, and he'll join us coming up.
I'm really curious about why it took this long for one of the biggest stars, certainly in the United States, to get her signature shoe. Asia Wilson got her shoe. Sabrina Ionescu got her shoe. Unless they said, you know what, let's kind of stagger this. Sabrina's got her shoe. Let's let Asia Wilson, four-time MVP, now we can have Kaitlyn Clark roll out her shoe.
I would look at Kaitlyn Clark the way Nike looks at Michael Jordan. This is completely different. This is more than just a shoe. This is a lifestyle unveiling. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, the confusing part for me is you signed her her junior year in Iowa. I thought you'd be ready by the time she got to the WNBA. Yeah. Dylan in San Diego. Hi, Dylan. What do you have for me?
