In a recent interview with the Big Lead, Sports Illustrated's Chris Ballard was asked to name his starting five for hoopsters in the media. Here's his team:

You'd have to include Rick Telander, Jack McCallum (who played at Muhlenberg College and came out of 13 years of hoops retirement for that book-launch game), Alexander Wolff and Dan Patrick (who once shattered a backboard, then brought a cup of the glass into work and dumped it on the desk as proof).

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub joined the show to talk about their loss to the Titans on Monday Night Football.

Schaub said the Texans missed a lot of opportunities and they shouldn't have needed to go the final minute.

Schaub talked about the final play from scrimmage. He said if the coaches were talking about taking a shot at the end zone with 8 seconds left, he didn't hear about it in his headset. Schaub thought they were definitely in good position for kicker Kris Brown.

Dan asked Schaub if he can have his spirits up for having a good game last night. "It's hard to take silver lining away from losses, regardless of if you do some good things," Schaub said.

Schaub had nice things to say about Tennessee's Vince Young and Chris Johnson. He said Johnson definitely belongs in the same conversation with Adrian Peterson as the best running back in the NFL.

Schaub said that he will have a big Thanksgiving dinner with his teammates and family. He said everyone was invited on the team that needed somewhere to go.  

SI.com's Peter King joined the show to discuss the big stories in the NFL.

King thinks Vince Young deserves a lot of credit for the Titans' four-game win streak and he's doing everything the team is asking of him. King said that Young told him that Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger wants him to run.

King also said that Young has to be the Titans quarterback of the future. "I'd be stunned if they don't choose to have him be their guy," King said.

King said the time off has helped Young and he's a different quarterback.

"He's a 64 percent passer. He's much more of a leader. He's admitted he's learned a lot from sitting behind Kerry Collins," King said.

King also weighed in Buffalo Bills head coaching search.

"Why would you want to take the Buffalo job right now with no quarterback of the future?" King asked. "If you wait six weeks, there's probably going to be about six jobs open. Why would you commit to one now?"

King says he thinks Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher and Mike Holmgren will have better options.

FOX NFL analyst Jimmy Johnson joined the show to talk about the big topics around the league.

Jonson said that he's a big fan of Vince Young. He thinks mobile quarterbacks are great, but the establishment doesn't always like to try something different. 

"Coaches -- it doesn't make any difference or they're pro or college -- they're so set in their ways, sometimes they try to fit a square peg into a round hole," Johnson said.

However, Johnson isn't sold on Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. "I don't think Tim Tebow can play in the NFL if it's in a pro style offense," Johnson said.

Johnson said a team will have to do one of two things with Tebow. Either turn him into an H-Back and receiver. Or if you use him at quarterback, you have to change the offense and probably the head coach.

Johnson also commented on his former team in Dallas: "Those wide receivers have got to step up. ... Teams have figured out if you take Jason Witten away ... those wide receivers, they may or may not make the play."

Dan asked Jimmy if the Notre Dame job was still a big-time job. "I think it's  a prime job if you get an outstanding recruiter," Johnson said.

The former Miami Hurricanes coach said the last Fighting Irish few coaches have just assumed Notre Dame would recruit itself. Johnson said Charlie Weis is a friend and a good coach, but he's not a great recruiter.

Johnson told a very funny story about trying to recruit Troy Aikman. He thought he had him at Oklahoma State, but then Barry Switzer told Troy that he wasn't going to run the Wishbone at Oklahoma and Aikman went there.

What a game on Monday night between the Titans and the Texans. Tennessee kicker Rob Bironas hit a 53-yard field goal with less than a minute left to give the Titans a 20-17 victory. The Texans had a shot to tie, but missed their long field goal attempt as time expired.

Tennessee has won four straight and is still alive in the playoff hunt despite its 0-6 start. Dan will break down the game and discuss the muddled playoff pictures in both conferences.

Here is the rundown of guests for Tuesday:

Matt Schaub: The Texans quarterback is expected to drop by despite Houston's tough loss to the Titans on Monday night. 

Jimmy Johnson: The FOX NFL broadcaster will talk about all the big stories around the league and some of the possible coaching openings around the NFL.

Peter King: The SI NFL writer will talk about the aftermath of the Browns-Lions classic from Sunday. We'll find out when Matthew Stafford will return. And King will weigh in on all the rumors about the next coach in Buffalo.

It's always fun to see what other people are saying about the Dan Patrick show. Here's some of the stories over the last week that have been picked up in papers and on the Web:

USA Today ran a quote from David Beckham talking about his wife's strange demands, including making wear women's underwear.

SI.com's Hot Clicks linked to Marv Albert's explanation of his rumored showdown with 50 Cent.

Profootballtalk.com picked up on Tony Dungy admitting he used to hide concussions because he didn't want to lose his job.

The Eugene (Oregon) Register-Guard referenced us putting the "I Love My Ducks" video up on the site last week.

CMT.com, the Web site for Country Music Television, referenced Tim McGraw's great line about how he "couldn't go pop with an ass full of firecrackers."

Marv Albert stopped by to clear up all the stories from the weekend about his entourage fighting with 50 Cent's entourage in the green room of the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Albert said that an associate of 50 Cent wanted to make a call from his dressing room and he got into an argument with a security guard who was guarding the room.

Albert said a reporter from the Los Angeles Times was following them and wrote this. Then the story evolved and became Marv and 50 Cent throwing punches at each other.

"I never crossed paths with 50 Cent," Albert said.

Albert is not happy with the coverage of this non-event: "I'll be able to laugh about this eventually --  maybe in a few days, but it's not that funny to me right now because you see first-hand, and you know this, how a story can be made up and then embellished you know just like a game of telephone tag with no accountability because it never happened."

Albert said the idea of him scuffling with 50 was ridiculous.

"I've never even been in a fight," Albert said. He implied the only person he can see throwing down with is Mike Fratello, because "The Czar" can get under your skin.

Dan asked if he's OK with 50 Cent. Marv said "they're going out for brunch."

Connecticut coach Randy Edsall joined the show after the Huskies beat Notre Dame 33-30 in double-overtime on Saturday.

Dan asked Edsall if he thought Saturday's win was an upset. "No I didn't and I don't think our kids did either," Edsall said.

Still Edsall appreciates the magnitude of the victory.

"There's no doubt it's the biggest win we've ever had," Edsall said. "To go out there and win against a school that has much history and tradition ... for us to be able to do that was very very significant for this university, this state and most importantly our football program."

Edsall said the win has even more meaning since it was their first victory since Jasper Howard's untimely death.

"There's been a big burden on our shoulders from the standpoint that we lost a teammate, we lost a brother, we lost a son, we lost a teammate in Jasper," Edsall said. "There was a little bit of a feeling that we let [Jasper] down. ... To get that win out there, it was like we finally did it."

NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson joined the show after winning his fourth straight Cup championship.

Dan asked Johnson where this year's championship puts him in the history of sports.

"The stats of what we've done, especially winning four in a row, kind of speaks for itself," Johnson said. "I do recognize we've done something that's never been done before. And I think it puts us up at the top of the list."

Johnson had very nice things to say about Mark Martin, who came in second this year. "It's been an honor and a lot of fun to race him," Johnson said of Martin.

Dan asked Johnson when he knew he was going to win the Cup this year. Johnson said he knew he had a great car, but technology changes so quickly, he wasn't sure until late in the season.

Lots of great nominees for Got It Done this week: Brett Favre, Real Salt Lake and more. But Dan was most impressed with Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Stafford toughed out one final play in the Lions' last-second victory over the Browns. He had a bad left shoulder injury and still ran out there and threw out the game-winner.

After a tough rookie season, Stafford truly earned this week's award.
