The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Rick Barnes Would Rather Be At Practice (feat. Rick Barnes)
Mon, 24 Feb 2025
How would you react if a puck hit you in the face in the middle of a hockey broadcast? Also, the crew relives an awkward moment from Dan at this past weekend's South Beach Wine and Food Festival. Then, legendary college basketball coach Rick Barnes of the Tennessee Volunteers joins the show to discuss why he'd rather be at practice than talking with us, his love of NASCAR, the Yankees of his youth, and the Summer of '49. He also explains what he learned throughout his career from Bobby Knight, T.J. Ford, Richard Petty, and Kevin Durant before playing a game of Shot For Your Life. Plus, Patrick Willis joins the NFL Hall of Fame, Chris Cote has a great "looks like" for David Baker, and Roy has an Alexander Ovechkin Stat of the Day. Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when a puck hits a broadcaster?
Roy has a stat of the day to get to in a moment. Please put it on the poll. Have you ever called someone a slapdick at Lebitard Show? Have the rest of you seen or heard this video of a Buffalo Sabres broadcaster being hit by a puck? I'm always in hockey. floored when anyone gets hit in the face with a puck. I would be very scared of the puck.
The puck is, I don't know whether it's underestimated in hockey because hockey players are so tough, but to get in the way of a slap shot is an act of bravery every last time. And this announcer is hit by a puck that's just ending up in the crowd. Let's hear what that sounds like when that happens.
The puck is dropped and it's four to five. in the opening period and Razor just took another one. And that was a rocket. Doctors checking Razor out very quickly. That was close to the eye.
Kevin James got hit right in the forehead. And when that happened, you can all understand whether you're broadcasting or not, the reflex like a doctor hitting you on the knee and making it kick out is going to be to say the F word. It's not even another word. The opening period.
Even if you're not a cursor, even if you're someone who never curses, if a hockey puck hits you in the face, that's how that's going to go. If you're in church, if you're on the broadcast, if you're at a funeral, any place that that happens, it doesn't matter whether you're supposed to be appropriate or not.
The opening period. It's Rob Ray that got hit in the face, not Kevin James.
It wasn't Kevin James?
No. Rob Ray.
The opening period.
