style chili. That's the dedication, chef, really, that's the dedication
that I love. Commitment to excellence. So that's our Meet
Friday menu today. I think that's actually written on his
business card. It says Dylan commitment to excellence. Oh no, No,

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
We will talk to Brent Musberger.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
A little bit later on this morning, Brandal Shambley will
join us from Augusta after what we saw yesterday. But
let me start with Brent, because every generation has a
voice that defines how we remember a game, and for
millions of fans, that voice was Brent Musburger, and he's
finally getting his due now. The award is called the
Pete Roselle Radio and TV Award. Pete Roselle former NFL commissioner,
(02:54):
and Brent has been a voice for generation for fifty years.
When you think about a Saturday or Sunday, a Monday,
and when he would say you are looking live, it
was just it sounded like something bigger was going to happen.
The Rose Bowl, the final four NFL Sunday is a
BCS title game. He had a voice that when you
heard it, you knew that something was a little more important,
(03:17):
a little more special. The Pete Roselle Award is not
just honoring a broadcaster. It celebrates really the soundtrack of
a lot of our lives. And Brent gave us moments,
he gave us memories. This is long overdue. There are
some people at the Pro Football Hall of Fame who
reached out yesterday, gave me a heads up before it
was officially announced and said, you guys did it. So
(03:43):
a round of applause for us, because I just kept thinking,
Brent deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
just like John Facenda. Years ago, I realized John Facenda,
the voice of NFL Films, was not in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. I reached out to a friend
who I've known for thirty five years who works there,
and I said, this is an injustice, and she said,
(04:06):
I'll put you in touch with David Baker, who ran
the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and David said, write
a letter. So I go to McLevin and I said,
let's put together a letter and send it to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. Maybe they can give it
to the voters and remind them that John Facenda, the
voice of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Was not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And then David Baker called the show and said, John
Facenda is going in posthumously. I didn't want that to
happen with Brent, and every time I would have him on,
we saw him in Las Vegas, he came by. He's
eighty five years of age, and I said, damn it,
we're going to get you in the Hall of Fame.
Whatever role we played, and maybe it's a small role,
(04:49):
but all I wanted to do is use the platform
to remind people that he was not in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. And when you think about this
certain memory you have, the people you remember, the shows
you remember, and the impact that they had on you.
The CBS pregame show with Brent, I mean, that's the
(05:09):
first time I go I can do that. I that's
what I want to do. I can have a goal
where I'm hosting a show like that. And I never
would have thought that. I didn't have direction. I knew
I wanted to be in sports, but I saw Brent
and I thought, that's what I want to do. But
when you think about starting your football Sunday, you started
(05:30):
your football Sunday with Brent saying you are looking live.
And you know, even now, I never get tired of that,
you are looking live. So I'm glad he's going in
well deserved. He'll join us a little bit later on.
And you know, I tried to get Jim Nantz involved
in it, and I think Jim was echoing the sentiments
(05:51):
to try to get Brent in as well. So there's
a few other people who certainly picked up the baton
and use their platform to help Brent or remind people
that Brent wasn't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
So thank you all the people involved, Patty, Yeah, Appaulinge.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I go back to two three years ago, we were
talking about the award, the Pete Roselle Award, and I
think it was Fred Goadelli, the great producer director from ABC,
and we looked up and we didn't see Brent's name
on the list. We saw like Tom Jackson and Andrea
Kramer and Joe Buck and Jim Nance, and it almost
looked like this must be a typo. Brent Musburger's name
is not on the list of the Roselle Award for
(06:37):
contributions to the game as a media member. We actually
double checked because we thought we had it wrong, and
then we brought it up on air, and every time
you said it on air, people would react like how
can this be? It's almost like what must have been
so obvious that Brent should be in? No one discussed
him being in. I can't think of any other reason.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, and you know, I don't want to ask Brent
why he wasn't in or you know, any of that.
We should be looking moving forward with that. But a
lot of people got involved in this behind the scenes,
and great greatly appreciate that. So we have a poll
question today, Play of the Day, stat of the Day,
all of that forthcoming. Your phone calls are welcome. It's
a Friday. Everybody's in a great mood. Got to meet Friday.
(07:19):
Brent's news, you know, nominated for Sports Emmy, all great stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So uh seton, what are you gonna go with? And
it's such a great time of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You got golf, the home stretch of the NBA, you
got baseball, you got hockey home stretch. You know, we've
got the draft, you know, coming up in a couple
of weeks. So it's it's really a great time of
the year to do this for a living or just
be a fan. Seaton, What are we going to go with?
First hour?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Marvin sent went actually based on the Brent Musburger getting
into the Hall of Fame. Who should Dan get into
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Next?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I was thinking about this because my brother, my brother,
who is a big music guy, he goes, Okay, you
it's your platform to help Foreigner get into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, because I thought that was
an injustice as well, and even met with their lead
singer and I'm like, I'm I'm going on my show
and I'm going to talk about Foreigner needs to be
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They get
(08:14):
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And then
we had John Facenda. Now, Brent, I'm tired. I got
to let somebody else do this. Yes, PAULI I got
a couple. If you crank it up, man, I don't know.
If I have the energy, I'll throw it too.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
For the Pete Roselle Radio and Television Award, these two gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I can't nominate myself, Paul, that's silly.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Oh, if the reward is contributions to growing the game
of football, how about Mel Kiper? Yes, again, that's it's
not even a question.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, well, we brought this up last year, and we
brought this up last year about Mel.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
And Peter King the writer. Sure, yeah, do you want
to do one at a time?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You want to do Mel Piper?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Absolutely positively, yes, And Peter, you know these are people
who are there. You know, it's their lives. It's year round.
You know, we get to enjoy football in football season.
But with Mel, this is year round. This all Mel does.
And then with Peter and now he just retired. But yeah,
(09:22):
you're right, those are two great, great examples of people
who should be nominated. But definitely Mel Kuiper. He was
doing it when people weren't doing this. He changed the draft.
Like if you think about what Mel was doing when
he was doing it, how he was doing it, and
he'd be in his little laboratory and he'd come out
(09:44):
with player profiles and he'd say, you know, this guy
from this college and this is where he should go.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I mean he had his mock drafts. I mean,
he did all of this. He had created an entire industry.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
A cottage industry that is now now metastasized into you know,
its own sports world. You got a festival at the draft.
I go back to first draft I went to was
nineteen eighty four, not a bad draft. Eighty three. I
was there, but I wasn't working. But you know, you
(10:18):
start to think about what it was. They had those
helmet phones. No one was really there, you know, players
weren't there. Then all of a sudden it just became bigger. Hey,
let's televise this.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Now, all of a sudden it becomes Coachella. It's football Coachella.
And Meil helped start that. And I invaluable, invaluable resource
at the Mothership throughout all those in my eighteen years there,
you could always rely on Mil. He would come on
and he was always prepared. He always you know, he
(10:54):
had direction with everything that he was talking about. He
didn't give you sort of half assed answers, like he
had done his homework, and his homework was going to
stand up to gms who didn't like him, or coaches
or players. But he did his homework. So that's a great. Yes,
let's get started on Mel. Get started on Mel, and
(11:14):
if I have enough energy, then we can work on
Peter King anybody else that needs to be I think
that's good for now.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Are you going to expand out of just the Pete
Roselle Award because there's lots of other suggestions here else.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Sonny Vacaro is a great one.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yes, yes, well I even brought that up to Sonny
and I even said it on the show, Michael Jordan, Mike,
write a letter Basketball Hall of Fame, Sonny should be
in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Contributions to the game,
Sonny Vacaro changed the game.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And Mike said, actually, I made Sonny so.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, if even if he says that, still write a letter,
you know, that would that would carry a whole lot
of weight. If Mike says Sonny should be in the
Basketball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Sonny should be writing a letter for me.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Really, But but you know, to get it so we're
not doing this posthumously. And that's the key, you know,
with Brent being eighty five and Sonny is in his
eighties as well. What he did for the shoe industry,
for coaches, I mean really this was he was doing nil,
you know for these coaches before there was a nil
(12:27):
anybody else seating that I can help.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Off of Marvin's list, here we got Dale Murphy. Can
you get him into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I can't why. I love Murph. I think if he
had two more home runs then he might get in
the What do he ended up with?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Three ninety eight, we had two MVPs. I love Murph.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's one of my favorite people I've ever met in
my life, not just athlete. But I don't think that's
going to happen. I think he had to have four
hundred home runs where they go all right, because then
you could kind of put him in there with Fred
McGriff and you could say, all right, you know, who
else do you have? Because you know Murph was a
catcher and probably not a very good catcher. They put
(13:11):
him in center field and he became a really good
center fielder.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, Paulie Dan, you know how much round numbers bother me?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's the Dale Murphy is the peak of round numbers
bother three ninety eight, four hundred. He went back to
back MVPs. There was a time when he was the
most feared man in baseball and the window was six
years five six years. But he had some injuries, he
didn't win, They didn't play in big games.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But man, I love the team, Ralph gar Bob Horner,
Braves were fun. Get to go watch them play all
the time when I was living in Atlanta. Who else
do we have their Seaton Ken Anderson and get him
into football.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
That's yes.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
If he if he won that one Super Bowl in
Detroit against Joe Montana. He's in the Hall of Fame.
I think Annie Anderson was the most accurate quarterback back
when I don't think we gave a whole lot of
credit to being accurate. I think he had one game
where he competed completed twenty one consecutive passes and back
then you were throwing deep balls, Isaac Curtis. But yeah,
(14:17):
Kenny Anderson, I think is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
I do anybody else they're seating, you know, we could
start populating more of that listing. Okay, yeah, yeah, the
audience may have some suggestions. But man, when I got
that news and my friend at the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and she said, you did it, And I
was like, I saw the press release and I immediately
(14:39):
said to the dan Nets and I said, we did it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
What else eton?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Actually, speaking of audience contributions, somebody tweeted at us a
crazy thought that maybe we'll get to in the next segment.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Okay, I can take a break. Fun, Yeah, just getting started.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Man, got emotional about this, But that's your childhood, Like
you're seeing somebody who impact acted you greatly, and that's
why I think it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Uh you know, I was proud to be able to
do that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, Stop crying, Dan, It's a Friday, okay, I
will I wasn't crying. It's just kind of emoting a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:15):

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Got carried away there to start the show talking about
Brent going into the Hall of Fame. Then we start
talking about other people who should be in the Hall
of Fame. I blew right by the headline. So let
me reverse course.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Here.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You got Justin Rose leading the show at the Masters,
and Scottie Scheffler is still the overwhelming favorite to win
at all. Randal Shambilie will join us coming up next hour.
The Cleveland Browns have a new quarter back. It's an
old quarterback. It's a new old quarterback. Let's say hell
(17:10):
low to Joe Flacco again. Yeah, ay, Joseph, Yeah, he
led him to the playoffs. Oh, they got Joe Flacco.
I don't know what they're doing at number two, but
may I don't know if this is there. Well, they're
definitely not going to take a quarterback. I have no idea.
I still maintain that I hold out hope that maybe
(17:31):
Kirk Cousins ends up with the Browns. But they have
the second pick in the draft and they've brought back
Joe Flacco. How old is Joe Flacco? He's like thirty seven.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Are we playing the Joe Flacco age game?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, okay, I'm going thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
He also like he was thirty six for about four years.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I got him as thirty nine or thirty one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Okay, all right, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
If you're a remember Joe Flacco's a media family, do
you say, Dad, what are we doing this summer? Well,
We're going to Yellowstone or I'm going to play professional football.
It's a coin flip year to year with this guy.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, he was on the couch and then all of
a sudden he rescued the Cleveland Browns. Tonight you have Bucks, Pistons, Cabs, Nicks, Rockets, Lakers,
Grizzlies and the Nuggets as we get ready to close
out the regular season. Still don't know if this TJ
watch situation is an actual, actual situation where he gave
a peace sign on his Instagram, I believe, and then
(18:38):
it was cryptic. He's in the last year of his contract.
He's probably looking around and saying, that guy's making more
than me, and that guy's making more than me, and
that guy's making more than me. Hey, I'm the best
defensive player in the game. Well, Miles Garrett Max Crosby
got new deals, and he might look around and say,
and Michael Parson is going to be making more than
he is. I don't know if there's there's anything there.
(19:01):
I haven't heard anything one way or another. It just
feels like there might be something there. But if you're
the Pittsburgh Steelers, first of all, get a quarterback. Second
of all, as you move on, do you want to
spend thirty five close to forty million dollars on TJ.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Watt?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You got the best of his career. It's like Albert
Poohols with the Cardinals. You've got the best of he
got those ten years and then it was like when
the Angels were pooning up the money. The Cardinals, you know,
did kind of a well, you know, we'll kind of
put out an offer there.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They didn't want to bring him back. But TJ. Watt,
do you want to spend that kind of money? If you're.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
A championship caliber Super Bowl contending team, would you bring
in TJ.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Want?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
If you're the Buffalo Bills, would you bring in TJ Want?
Spend that money on him? The answer is yes, But
what's he going to cost you there? But I wonder
if Pittsburgh says, hey, go out and find something. We
don't want to spend that kind of money on you,
or they might say we're gonna give you a two
(20:16):
year extension, which is what I would do, because he's
what thirty. Okay, he was banged up I think last year,
but you know, he's got what twenty two and a
half sacks in a single season, probably should have another
Defensive Player of the Year award on his resume. But
(20:37):
you know, this is this is the last time you
get a chance to trade him, and maybe there's nothing there.
Until I hear otherwise, I'll kind of go with the
notion that maybe there is something there, like Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It feels like there's always something there.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Always he's always got a cryptic, you know, message that
he's sending out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think he's going through a divorce.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Now. I don't think he's going to last in Miami.
The question is do you really want him? And at
what price? Remember when thirty million dollars he got that
deal and we're like, dang, that's a lot of money,
and you know, then Kansas City goes we can win
without him.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You're like goll Lee.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Now that's the beauty of the Chiefs is they kind
of reconfigured who they were, their identity, became a running team,
pass control team, and a defensive team, defensive team first,
and still able to win Super Bowls. Pretty amazing. So
that's sort of the football news right now. Not much
(21:38):
else going on, but it'll start to heat up. I
did reach out to my Cleveland Browns source again and
I said, hey, going into the weekend, got anything, And
then he says, I can't share anything right now?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Got to you know, don't.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't have anything, and I want to be careful,
and so I said, okay, I respect that if we
get something that somebody can help me with. Great I'll
pass it on to you, all righty, A couple of
phone calls in here Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (22:15):
No money, Dan, I am attacking this call with an
enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Baby. I just wanted to call
in and say congratulations for the Emmy nomination Dan, to
the entire team DP show. And I am one hundred
per team Seedon. Before I was like Emmy Schmemmi, who cares?
(22:39):
But now Dan, I'm lik an Emmy would mean everything
for this show. I mean, going up against the behemoths
that you guys, all the other entities you guys go
up against. I mean it would really cement like the
amazing job.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
That you've done and give credit to.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
The trail that you've laid for all the other shows.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
That have followed you guys, and the strengths Dan.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
That I love about this show, and simply how authentic
you guys are. I mean, that's that's really it.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Like you guys.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
It's not scripted, you don't have writers, and I know
that's definitely a huge part of why DP Nation has
followed you guys for so long, and that's huge. I
mean you Seed and Polly Marvin, I mean, even you, Fritzy.
They are well we think you are.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Thank you, Thank you, Buddha. Yeah, let us talk to yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
By the way, we had a little mishap yesterday, Dan
Nets we're out. I guess this was a like a
spring training for pickleball because we have the rematch coming
up in Green Bay, and all of a sudden and
they didn't have their pickleball shoes on. Uh, well, one
person didn't have his pickleball shoes on. Okay, we have
(23:53):
these unbelievable pickleball shoes. They're made by tyrol t y
ro L and they're really about, you know, help to
stabilize your feet when you're playing.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
You guys could have reminded me to put them on
instead of watching me like destroy my heels.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Toddy, they gave you these shoes. They're free. You didn't
buy them, It's true. And so all of a sudden,
Tod and Todd was playing great, Paulie playing great. This
was spirited back and forth. I'm going, I'm proud of
these athletes. And then all of a sudden, Todd went
for the ball and then I could just see him
(24:29):
where he came up limping.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
There was like a little drop shot and I was
trying to get to it before it downs the second time,
and then something went very awry.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, so Todd is limping today? Is is it the
planner fascia?
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Yeah, both heels have it, but the left heel is worse.
So I'm like kind of limping. I can't put any
pressure on my left heel right now. I mean need
a short dose of pregnantz.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Own or something. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
I it's something from one's urgentcary yesterday.
Speaker 12 (24:56):
Shocking.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
I know you're with like, why would I go run
to an emergency room or something? Yeah, at like seven
o'clock last night, I was an urgent care. They took
X rays. They told me to ice it and through
certain stretches because my calves are very tight, not in
a muscular way, just in a you never stretch any way.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Years old, these things time. You've had two injuries.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You got injured playing wiffleball and whiffleball, and you got
injured playing pickleball practicing pickleball, Yes.
Speaker 11 (25:21):
Elbow injury, whiffleball planter fasciitis playing pickleball.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
That's pretty sad, Okay, are you going to be ready
for the rematch at Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I have to be.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
It's not up for to date. It's not a question
if I got to play on three toes on one foot,
I got to bounce.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay, this effects the bedding line right now, they're they've
taken it off the board.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's off the board.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It is because I don't know, I don't know how
healthy I saw you. You were in incredible pain. I
could see you, know your your facial expressions. It was
really heartbreaking but heartwarming that you still wanted to out
there and play a few minutes before that.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I'm slamming shots left and right. I think I hit
seating up pretty hard accidentally, like in the foot, and
all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
But it's like when when Kobe blew out his achilles
and he said, no, I want to go back and
shoot the free throws.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
This is almost exactly like that. I'd say, more like
a Willis Reed moment.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
So no, no, no, like you were Kurt Gibson without
the home run.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yes, I got it. I got a question.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Emergency room. If there's an emergency room physician out there
is a hurt foot not a torn up foot like
it's blown off, but a hurt foot emergency room worthy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, it is very painful, well, to be fair to Todd, emergencyful.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And it was urgent care, which is a step a lot.
So it's not an emergency room. That's just an after
hours kind of place to go. Urgent care.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's that's sort of the triple A version of the
emergent ero. You're going into urgent care. A couple of
phone calls in here, Let's see, how about David in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Hi, David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Hey bo, I'm.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Going I'm so good. I guess the main question I
got it, and I got still on a lot of
people's mind is do you feel like Pete will ever
make it even though he's passed on County, but we
want to do him any good.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, Pete's not getting in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, no, not anytime soon, not with this commissioner. And
I don't want this to be the topic today, Okay,
I don't. We've spent way too much time on it.
I've given you my opinion. My opinion hasn't changed. Baseball's
embraced gambling. I know all of that we've gone down
this road. This is not about Pete Rose today in
the Hall of Fame. So you can keep that opinion
(27:48):
until a day when maybe there is some kind of
movement on this. Let's see Rich in uh, Atlanta, I
believe Athens.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yes, outside of Atlanta, Hey.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
Rich, Yeah, let's see. So Wilfred Bill Winkenbox. I think
he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is the creator of fantasy football back in the sixties.
So you got to think of the generations of people
who are watching football strictly because of their fantasy team.
And it also created new revenue streams for the NFL
(28:22):
with advertising and sponsorship dollars. I just want to know
what ch'all thought about that.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, I think it's an interesting suggestion. But there are
a couple of people who have laid claim and credit
for creating fantasy football. You have to really go back
to Rotisserie baseball. Those are the guys who created this.
In my mind that they created this fantasy world. But look,
I'm I'm all about more. I'm about inclusion. You want
(28:47):
to have more people and celebrate more people. That's why
I hate when the Baseball Hall of fame will have
like one person. And now I don't want to just
put somebody in fast track somebody in. But I do
love when we celebrate. Had the opportunity to celebrate more people.
Gus in Los Angeles, Hi, Gus, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope you're the boys having a
good day. It's actually Gus in New Jersey today. I
got a wedding that I'm attending today. My cousin, like
my big brother here, he decided to get married for
some reason. Don't know why, but it's this big day
today and there's nobody else that I thought than you,
mister Patrick, along with the boys. If any of you
(29:29):
guys want to give some pearls of wisdom to the
man that's going to take the plunge.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Today, well some of my advice would have probably prevented
this so he wouldn't be getting married. But Gus, I
think you should be the announcer at the reception. You
should introduce the wedding party.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I mean, he is known as the Mexican Barry White.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
With that equal the Mexican Verry White. Okay, and Gus,
what's your friends name?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Frankie?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
All Right?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
All right, Frankie, it's her day, it's your mother in
law's day, and don't complain about anything.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Everything is great.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Really, limit your alcohol intake, be present, be in the moment.
Go from table to table, say hello to everybody. This
isn't your day when you get married. It's not about you.
Nobody cares, nobody wants to hear from you. Have fun,
engage people. Make sure that the best man's speech is
(30:34):
brief to the point. Don't let him get liquored up.
But stay in the moment, okay, because it's about her.
Everything is about her and your mother in law because
they spend all of this time trying to prepare for this.
So good luck there, Frankie. Okay, And I've talked so
(30:56):
many times about the best man's speeches. One was about
fourteen minutes come on, and he just kept telling stories
and people were getting up getting drink like they just
after a while, it became almost laughable. And that's where
you have to play music. You have to play them
off the stage, you know, after.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You really you're over.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Under should be five minutes at the most, and even
then five minutes is a long time.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Important to remember too, that for anyone giving a speech
in these moments, you're not as funny as you think
you are. And there is this movement over the last
thirty years or so, maybe forty years that these speeches
at weddings are supposed to be a roast.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
They're not because you're not that funny boy. But the
more you drink, the funnier you think you are. I
think I'm just gonna go for it. I'm just gonna
go don't do that.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Have you prepared a speech? No, I'm going to go
off the cuff. No no no.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
No no no no no no no no speaking of humor, yes, Todd,
you haven't.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
I don't drink at all.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
And I think I'm kind of hilarious times I've had
like maybe two be years in my life for whatever.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That's what okay?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I mean, I think you could give a good speech.
I think your speech would be too long.
Speaker 11 (32:09):
It would be too long, and I would rhyme it
when not everyone loves that. Not everything has to be
a poem with rhyme.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
You could do a limerick, could do it. I mean,
I'm okay with that. I can't do a fourteen minute no,
A bunch of liris No, you can't.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And I think you have that sensibility to be kind courteous,
uh sweet, but your speeches would go way too.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
Long, people rolling their eyes and pretending to yawn or
maybe actually on it.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yes, wife strife, it just works itself up. Oh, we
could do a little rhyme time what rhymes.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
With a null time? Divorce? Main course?
Speaker 11 (32:44):
There you go, before you guys get divorced. Please enjoy
your main course.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
We could do that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Pre n up. What's up?
Speaker 14 (32:54):
There?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You go? It rights itself, doesn't make you time.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
All right, Let's take a break here, Okay, take a break.
Play the day up next.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

I like that late night Dynamite Braves Radio Network, The
Braves Improved two, three and nine.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Play of the Day brought to you by the great folks.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Miller like Drafts at the Draft, and we're taking the
show there broadcasting live and join us Herd to see
bar our friends at Miller like for fi fifty years.
Miller like the top pick for beer lovers since nineteen
seventy five, the original liked beer.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Let's see Dino in New York. Hi Dino, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 13 (34:12):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 7 (34:12):
How you doing good? Shir five nine six? Got a
few things. Number One, I'm retired. I'd never tell a
guy not to retire, but man, I'm going to miss
you when you're gone, When you start talking about those
three or four years you got left. I mean, I
hope the Dan Net's keep the show going. And maybe
(34:33):
the only thing I can think of is Ross Tucker
could possibly come close to filling your shoes. But your
show is just so much better than all the other
sports talk shows, and I don't think we'll see anything
like you. And I thank you for how much enjoyment
I get out of your show.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Thank you, Dono. I appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
My pleasure as a kid growing up in the seventies,
Being ten years old in nineteen seventy five, having privilege
to listen to Brent Musburger was you know, spoiled me
for everyone. The guy is just phenomenal back in the day.
The NFL today was perfect, you know, a great buttoned
up show. You know, it was just special and it
(35:14):
made you feel great and not really spurred on my
love of football. And as a draft lover, I've seen
every single televised draft since ESPN put it on back
in the early eighties or late seventies, back when it
was on Tuesday mornings. Mel Kiper is definitely deserving of
(35:36):
being in the hall. And you know, every year i'd
buy his his draft report. Yeah, and you'd call up
the number and Mel was doing it out of his kitchen.
Sometimes Mel would answer the phone and you'd get to
talk to Mel for a couple of minutes, and it
was just great. And I'm glad you brought him up.
I really think he's he's the next big one that
(35:57):
deserves to get in there. And one thing, if you
want to mention a player that deserves it, I think
the only guy I believe from the all eighties decade.
Team that's not in is Lester Hayes.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well, for some reason, I thought Lester Hayes was in.
I don't have any I'm going to say power or
authority or any sway with the voters. Pro football voters
are pretty locked in now. They do their homework. It's
a really tough job, really tough job because you're arguing
(36:31):
for and against players. But when it comes for the
Pete Rosel with the TV and the Radio award, then yes,
I'm going to get involved in that. And mel Kiper
would qualify for that, and mel Kiper would be great
as a Hall of Famer and worthy of that, and
Peter King as well. So any other suggestions while I
(36:52):
have this platform, if I can use it, great, I'll
be more than happy to eight seven to seven three
DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, twitter handle a
DP show. I saw this story about the Chiefs wanting
to be the official Christmas Day team of the NFL.
They reached out to the NFL reportedly reached out and said,
(37:15):
we want to be the team that plays every Christmas Day.
You know, the Lions on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys on Thanksgiving,
and then you'll just have another game that's uses on
NBC at night. But the Chiefs said, hey, we want
to be there every single Christmas Day. Well, the NFL
said no. Mike North, the vice president of broadcast Planning
(37:38):
for the NFL, talking about the Chiefs on Christmas Day.
Speaker 15 (37:44):
For a team like the Chiefs to volunteer for Christmas
while they're busy winning every other super Bowl or whatever
it is, and you know, their tight end iss dating
the biggest pop star on the planet. Like, sure, the
league office would love for the Chiefs the hosts on
Christmas every year. Thanks volunteering, boys, But you know, I'm
not sure that's become a tradition quite the way Thanksgiving is.
I mean, think about what it took for that tradition, right,
(38:05):
the Lion since the thirties, the Cowboys since the sixties.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The league doesn't want see this would be like, yeah,
we're gonna let the Chiefs be our official Christmas Day
football team. And then you would have people probably criticizing
the NFL like why are you letting the Chiefs be
Now a lot of these guys don't want to play
on Christmas Day. Yeah, Lebron has been playing on Christmas
Day for nineteen out of twenty two years, I don't
(38:33):
think that he's been in favor of playing on Christmas Day.
You get a big audience, big platform there. But here
are the Chiefs and maybe the NFL saying we can't
let them have what they want. Now, if the NFL
came to them and said we want to put you
on Christmas Day, then it would be different. But here's
once again, Mike North. He sets up the schedule with
(38:53):
Howard Katz at the NFL, and he was on the
It's Always Game Day in Buffalo podcast about committee to
the Chiefs.
Speaker 15 (39:01):
Both from the fans standpoint. You know, I know the
Chiefs are raising their hands supposedly, but you know that's
a lot to ask your fans come out every year
on Christmas. Certainly while you're good and you're winning AFC
West titles and fighting for Super Bowls. Yeah, it's easy
give You know, if five years from now, after Patrick
Mahomes retires and you know they're not the you know,
(39:22):
perennial division champion and in every AFC Championship game, I'm
not sure we'd want to be, you know, married to
a site.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
And I get that, but for the time being, you
could unofficially officially lock in the Kansas City Chiefs with
Patrick Mahomes. I feel pretty confident over the next five
years they'd still be Musty TV and be a very
competitive team.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
It's such a great organization that does Andy Reid coach
for five more years?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Probably not. Kelsey's not going to be there. Mahomes will
be there. As long as you have Rett Beach as
your g you're probably going to have a competitive team.
Chris Jones isn't going to be there. I mean, if
you really start to look at it, if you have Mahomes,
is that enough from US SEETV? But the fact that
they wanted to do it at the NFL the NFL,
(40:14):
you have to wait for us to tell you that
we'll let you do that.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yes, Marvin, do.
Speaker 12 (40:19):
You think this is a concerted effort by the Chiefs
to try to make themselves even bigger so they can
become the Cowboys in twenty years where they have fans everywhere,
almost like the Steelers in the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Well, you're seeing these teams who want designated areas in
the world, like We're going to be the team in Brazil,
We're going to be the team in Germany, We're going
to be the team in Ireland. That's how you expand
your brand. But if you look back on the Cowboys
were always there every Thanksgiving. That's how you become America's team.
You were good playing on Thanksgiving. The Lions started out
(40:53):
being good back in the thirties, and then all of
a sudden, we just accepted that the Lions were going
to be playing. They'd be playing the early game where like,
oh it's cute, Lions get a nationally televised game. The Cowboys,
they became America's team partly due to being there on
Thanksgiving seeing them all the time. Seaton, could you update
(41:15):
the poll results from the first hour?
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I can I feel badly about it.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Why worst tot injury pickleball heel or whiffleball elbow? Right now,
wiffleball elbow running away with sixty two percent of that vote,
but it's trending upward.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Yeah, that was kind of sad, and he was playing great.
He was dominating wiffleball, and his career may be over.
Two more hours on this beat Friday,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
What a great week this has been capped off yesterday.
Great news on Brent Musburger going into the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. Earlier in the week, we found out
were nominated for another Sports Emmy. And it's a Meet Friday.
By the way, case you're wondering, Firecracker shrimp, Texas style chili,
(00:25):
Cowboy rib eyes, barbecue, Blacken swordfish, Azalea cocktails.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No way, wo how's it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
By the way, Dylan, we brought Dylan in. He's lending
his expertise in the kitchen. He'd like to be referred
to as Chef Dylan. I said, let's try cook Dylan
first and see how you fare. But he was in
here late last night, long after everybody was at home.
(00:58):
I came back all of a sudden, and I go,
who left the stove on? Dylan is cooking the Texas
style chili. That's the dedication, chef, really, that's the dedication
that I love. Commitment to excellence. So that's our Meet
Friday menu today. I think that's actually written on his
business card. It says Dylan commitment to excellence. Oh no, No,
(01:23):
that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Are you sure? Yeah? Maybe that's the name of his podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:26):

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
We will talk to Brent Musberger.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
A little bit later on this morning, Brandal Shambley will
join us from Augusta after what we saw yesterday. But
let me start with Brent, because every generation has a
voice that defines how we remember a game, and for
millions of fans, that voice was Brent Musburger, and he's
finally getting his due now. The award is called the
Pete Roselle Radio and TV Award. Pete Roselle former NFL commissioner,
(02:54):
and Brent has been a voice for generation for fifty years.
When you think about a Saturday or Sunday, a Monday,
and when he would say you are looking live, it
was just it sounded like something bigger was going to happen.
The Rose Bowl, the final four NFL Sunday is a
BCS title game. He had a voice that when you
heard it, you knew that something was a little more important,
(03:17):
a little more special. The Pete Roselle Award is not
just honoring a broadcaster. It celebrates really the soundtrack of
a lot of our lives. And Brent gave us moments,
he gave us memories. This is long overdue. There are
some people at the Pro Football Hall of Fame who
reached out yesterday, gave me a heads up before it
was officially announced and said, you guys did it. So
(03:43):
a round of applause for us, because I just kept thinking,
Brent deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
just like John Facenda. Years ago, I realized John Facenda,
the voice of NFL Films, was not in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. I reached out to a friend
who I've known for thirty five years who works there,
and I said, this is an injustice, and she said,
(04:06):
I'll put you in touch with David Baker, who ran
the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and David said, write
a letter. So I go to McLevin and I said,
let's put together a letter and send it to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. Maybe they can give it
to the voters and remind them that John Facenda, the
voice of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Was not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And then David Baker called the show and said, John
Facenda is going in posthumously. I didn't want that to
happen with Brent, and every time I would have him on,
we saw him in Las Vegas, he came by. He's
eighty five years of age, and I said, damn it,
we're going to get you in the Hall of Fame.
Whatever role we played, and maybe it's a small role,
(04:49):
but all I wanted to do is use the platform
to remind people that he was not in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. And when you think about this
certain memory you have, the people you remember, the shows
you remember, and the impact that they had on you.
The CBS pregame show with Brent, I mean, that's the
(05:09):
first time I go I can do that. I that's
what I want to do. I can have a goal
where I'm hosting a show like that. And I never
would have thought that. I didn't have direction. I knew
I wanted to be in sports, but I saw Brent
and I thought, that's what I want to do. But
when you think about starting your football Sunday, you started
(05:30):
your football Sunday with Brent saying you are looking live.
And you know, even now, I never get tired of that,
you are looking live. So I'm glad he's going in
well deserved. He'll join us a little bit later on.
And you know, I tried to get Jim Nantz involved
in it, and I think Jim was echoing the sentiments
(05:51):
to try to get Brent in as well. So there's
a few other people who certainly picked up the baton
and use their platform to help Brent or remind people
that Brent wasn't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
So thank you all the people involved, Patty, Yeah, Appaulinge.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I go back to two three years ago, we were
talking about the award, the Pete Roselle Award, and I
think it was Fred Goadelli, the great producer director from ABC,
and we looked up and we didn't see Brent's name
on the list. We saw like Tom Jackson and Andrea
Kramer and Joe Buck and Jim Nance, and it almost
looked like this must be a typo. Brent Musburger's name
is not on the list of the Roselle Award for
(06:37):
contributions to the game as a media member. We actually
double checked because we thought we had it wrong, and
then we brought it up on air, and every time
you said it on air, people would react like how
can this be? It's almost like what must have been
so obvious that Brent should be in? No one discussed
him being in. I can't think of any other reason.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, and you know, I don't want to ask Brent
why he wasn't in or you know, any of that.
We should be looking moving forward with that. But a
lot of people got involved in this behind the scenes,
and great greatly appreciate that. So we have a poll
question today, Play of the Day, stat of the Day,
all of that forthcoming. Your phone calls are welcome. It's
a Friday. Everybody's in a great mood. Got to meet Friday.
(07:19):
Brent's news, you know, nominated for Sports Emmy, all great stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So uh seton, what are you gonna go with? And
it's such a great time of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You got golf, the home stretch of the NBA, you
got baseball, you got hockey home stretch. You know, we've
got the draft, you know, coming up in a couple
of weeks. So it's it's really a great time of
the year to do this for a living or just
be a fan. Seaton, What are we going to go with?
First hour?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Marvin sent went actually based on the Brent Musburger getting
into the Hall of Fame. Who should Dan get into
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Next?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I was thinking about this because my brother, my brother,
who is a big music guy, he goes, Okay, you
it's your platform to help Foreigner get into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, because I thought that was
an injustice as well, and even met with their lead
singer and I'm like, I'm I'm going on my show
and I'm going to talk about Foreigner needs to be
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They get
(08:14):
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And then
we had John Facenda. Now, Brent, I'm tired. I got
to let somebody else do this. Yes, PAULI I got
a couple. If you crank it up, man, I don't know.
If I have the energy, I'll throw it too.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
For the Pete Roselle Radio and Television Award, these two gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I can't nominate myself, Paul, that's silly.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Oh, if the reward is contributions to growing the game
of football, how about Mel Kiper? Yes, again, that's it's
not even a question.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, well, we brought this up last year, and we
brought this up last year about Mel.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
And Peter King the writer. Sure, yeah, do you want
to do one at a time?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You want to do Mel Piper?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Absolutely positively, yes, And Peter, you know these are people
who are there. You know, it's their lives. It's year round.
You know, we get to enjoy football in football season.
But with Mel, this is year round. This all Mel does.
And then with Peter and now he just retired. But yeah,
(09:22):
you're right, those are two great, great examples of people
who should be nominated. But definitely Mel Kuiper. He was
doing it when people weren't doing this. He changed the draft.
Like if you think about what Mel was doing when
he was doing it, how he was doing it, and
he'd be in his little laboratory and he'd come out
(09:44):
with player profiles and he'd say, you know, this guy
from this college and this is where he should go.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I mean he had his mock drafts. I mean,
he did all of this. He had created an entire industry.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
A cottage industry that is now now metastasized into you know,
its own sports world. You got a festival at the draft.
I go back to first draft I went to was
nineteen eighty four, not a bad draft. Eighty three. I
was there, but I wasn't working. But you know, you
(10:18):
start to think about what it was. They had those
helmet phones. No one was really there, you know, players
weren't there. Then all of a sudden it just became bigger. Hey,
let's televise this.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Now, all of a sudden it becomes Coachella. It's football Coachella.
And Meil helped start that. And I invaluable, invaluable resource
at the Mothership throughout all those in my eighteen years there,
you could always rely on Mil. He would come on
and he was always prepared. He always you know, he
(10:54):
had direction with everything that he was talking about. He
didn't give you sort of half assed answers, like he
had done his homework, and his homework was going to
stand up to gms who didn't like him, or coaches
or players. But he did his homework. So that's a great. Yes,
let's get started on Mel. Get started on Mel, and
(11:14):
if I have enough energy, then we can work on
Peter King anybody else that needs to be I think
that's good for now.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Are you going to expand out of just the Pete
Roselle Award because there's lots of other suggestions here else.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Sonny Vacaro is a great one.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yes, yes, well I even brought that up to Sonny
and I even said it on the show, Michael Jordan, Mike,
write a letter Basketball Hall of Fame, Sonny should be
in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Contributions to the game,
Sonny Vacaro changed the game.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And Mike said, actually, I made Sonny so.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, if even if he says that, still write a letter,
you know, that would that would carry a whole lot
of weight. If Mike says Sonny should be in the
Basketball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Sonny should be writing a letter for me.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Really, But but you know, to get it so we're
not doing this posthumously. And that's the key, you know,
with Brent being eighty five and Sonny is in his
eighties as well. What he did for the shoe industry,
for coaches, I mean really this was he was doing nil,
you know for these coaches before there was a nil
(12:27):
anybody else seating that I can help.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Off of Marvin's list, here we got Dale Murphy. Can
you get him into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I can't why. I love Murph. I think if he
had two more home runs then he might get in
the What do he ended up with?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Three ninety eight, we had two MVPs. I love Murph.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's one of my favorite people I've ever met in
my life, not just athlete. But I don't think that's
going to happen. I think he had to have four
hundred home runs where they go all right, because then
you could kind of put him in there with Fred
McGriff and you could say, all right, you know, who
else do you have? Because you know Murph was a
catcher and probably not a very good catcher. They put
(13:11):
him in center field and he became a really good
center fielder.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, Paulie Dan, you know how much round numbers bother me?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's the Dale Murphy is the peak of round numbers
bother three ninety eight, four hundred. He went back to
back MVPs. There was a time when he was the
most feared man in baseball and the window was six
years five six years. But he had some injuries, he
didn't win, They didn't play in big games.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But man, I love the team, Ralph gar Bob Horner,
Braves were fun. Get to go watch them play all
the time when I was living in Atlanta. Who else
do we have their Seaton Ken Anderson and get him
into football.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
That's yes.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
If he if he won that one Super Bowl in
Detroit against Joe Montana. He's in the Hall of Fame.
I think Annie Anderson was the most accurate quarterback back
when I don't think we gave a whole lot of
credit to being accurate. I think he had one game
where he competed completed twenty one consecutive passes and back
then you were throwing deep balls, Isaac Curtis. But yeah,
(14:17):
Kenny Anderson, I think is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
I do anybody else they're seating, you know, we could
start populating more of that listing. Okay, yeah, yeah, the
audience may have some suggestions. But man, when I got
that news and my friend at the Pro Football Hall
of Fame and she said, you did it, And I
was like, I saw the press release and I immediately
(14:39):
said to the dan Nets and I said, we did it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
What else eton?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Actually, speaking of audience contributions, somebody tweeted at us a
crazy thought that maybe we'll get to in the next segment.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Okay, I can take a break. Fun, Yeah, just getting started.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Man, got emotional about this, But that's your childhood, Like
you're seeing somebody who impact acted you greatly, and that's
why I think it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Uh you know, I was proud to be able to
do that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, Stop crying, Dan, It's a Friday, okay, I
will I wasn't crying. It's just kind of emoting a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
The starting lineup is here, Fritzie playing hurt. We'll get
into that coming up. Seaton's here, Marv Paully backroom guys

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Got carried away there to start the show talking about
Brent going into the Hall of Fame. Then we start
talking about other people who should be in the Hall
of Fame. I blew right by the headline. So let
me reverse course.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Here.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You got Justin Rose leading the show at the Masters,
and Scottie Scheffler is still the overwhelming favorite to win
at all. Randal Shambilie will join us coming up next hour.
The Cleveland Browns have a new quarter back. It's an
old quarterback. It's a new old quarterback. Let's say hell
(17:10):
low to Joe Flacco again. Yeah, ay, Joseph, Yeah, he
led him to the playoffs. Oh, they got Joe Flacco.
I don't know what they're doing at number two, but
may I don't know if this is there. Well, they're
definitely not going to take a quarterback. I have no idea.
I still maintain that I hold out hope that maybe
(17:31):
Kirk Cousins ends up with the Browns. But they have
the second pick in the draft and they've brought back
Joe Flacco. How old is Joe Flacco? He's like thirty seven.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Are we playing the Joe Flacco age game?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, okay, I'm going thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
He also like he was thirty six for about four years.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I got him as thirty nine or thirty one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Okay, all right, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
If you're a remember Joe Flacco's a media family, do
you say, Dad, what are we doing this summer? Well,
We're going to Yellowstone or I'm going to play professional football.
It's a coin flip year to year with this guy.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, he was on the couch and then all of
a sudden he rescued the Cleveland Browns. Tonight you have Bucks, Pistons, Cabs, Nicks, Rockets, Lakers,
Grizzlies and the Nuggets as we get ready to close
out the regular season. Still don't know if this TJ
watch situation is an actual, actual situation where he gave
a peace sign on his Instagram, I believe, and then
(18:38):
it was cryptic. He's in the last year of his contract.
He's probably looking around and saying, that guy's making more
than me, and that guy's making more than me, and
that guy's making more than me. Hey, I'm the best
defensive player in the game. Well, Miles Garrett Max Crosby
got new deals, and he might look around and say,
and Michael Parson is going to be making more than
he is. I don't know if there's there's anything there.
(19:01):
I haven't heard anything one way or another. It just
feels like there might be something there. But if you're
the Pittsburgh Steelers, first of all, get a quarterback. Second
of all, as you move on, do you want to
spend thirty five close to forty million dollars on TJ.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Watt?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You got the best of his career. It's like Albert
Poohols with the Cardinals. You've got the best of he
got those ten years and then it was like when
the Angels were pooning up the money. The Cardinals, you know,
did kind of a well, you know, we'll kind of
put out an offer there.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They didn't want to bring him back. But TJ. Watt,
do you want to spend that kind of money? If you're.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
A championship caliber Super Bowl contending team, would you bring
in TJ.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Want?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
If you're the Buffalo Bills, would you bring in TJ Want?
Spend that money on him? The answer is yes, But
what's he going to cost you there? But I wonder
if Pittsburgh says, hey, go out and find something. We
don't want to spend that kind of money on you,
or they might say we're gonna give you a two
(20:16):
year extension, which is what I would do, because he's
what thirty. Okay, he was banged up I think last year,
but you know, he's got what twenty two and a
half sacks in a single season, probably should have another
Defensive Player of the Year award on his resume. But
(20:37):
you know, this is this is the last time you
get a chance to trade him, and maybe there's nothing there.
Until I hear otherwise, I'll kind of go with the
notion that maybe there is something there, like Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It feels like there's always something there.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Always he's always got a cryptic, you know, message that
he's sending out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think he's going through a divorce.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Now. I don't think he's going to last in Miami.
The question is do you really want him? And at
what price? Remember when thirty million dollars he got that
deal and we're like, dang, that's a lot of money,
and you know, then Kansas City goes we can win
without him.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You're like goll Lee.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Now that's the beauty of the Chiefs is they kind
of reconfigured who they were, their identity, became a running team,
pass control team, and a defensive team, defensive team first,
and still able to win Super Bowls. Pretty amazing. So
that's sort of the football news right now. Not much
(21:38):
else going on, but it'll start to heat up. I
did reach out to my Cleveland Browns source again and
I said, hey, going into the weekend, got anything, And
then he says, I can't share anything right now?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Got to you know, don't.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't have anything, and I want to be careful,
and so I said, okay, I respect that if we
get something that somebody can help me with. Great I'll
pass it on to you, all righty, A couple of
phone calls in here Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (22:15):
No money, Dan, I am attacking this call with an
enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Baby. I just wanted to call
in and say congratulations for the Emmy nomination Dan, to
the entire team DP show. And I am one hundred
per team Seedon. Before I was like Emmy Schmemmi, who cares?
(22:39):
But now Dan, I'm lik an Emmy would mean everything
for this show. I mean, going up against the behemoths
that you guys, all the other entities you guys go
up against. I mean it would really cement like the
amazing job.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
That you've done and give credit to.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
The trail that you've laid for all the other shows.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
That have followed you guys, and the strengths Dan.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
That I love about this show, and simply how authentic
you guys are. I mean, that's that's really it.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Like you guys.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
It's not scripted, you don't have writers, and I know
that's definitely a huge part of why DP Nation has
followed you guys for so long, and that's huge. I
mean you Seed and Polly Marvin, I mean, even you, Fritzy.
They are well we think you are.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Thank you, Thank you, Buddha. Yeah, let us talk to yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
By the way, we had a little mishap yesterday, Dan
Nets we're out. I guess this was a like a
spring training for pickleball because we have the rematch coming
up in Green Bay, and all of a sudden and
they didn't have their pickleball shoes on. Uh, well, one
person didn't have his pickleball shoes on. Okay, we have
(23:53):
these unbelievable pickleball shoes. They're made by tyrol t y
ro L and they're really about, you know, help to
stabilize your feet when you're playing.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
You guys could have reminded me to put them on
instead of watching me like destroy my heels.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Toddy, they gave you these shoes. They're free. You didn't
buy them, It's true. And so all of a sudden,
Tod and Todd was playing great, Paulie playing great. This
was spirited back and forth. I'm going, I'm proud of
these athletes. And then all of a sudden, Todd went
for the ball and then I could just see him
(24:29):
where he came up limping.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
There was like a little drop shot and I was
trying to get to it before it downs the second time,
and then something went very awry.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, so Todd is limping today? Is is it the
planner fascia?
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Yeah, both heels have it, but the left heel is worse.
So I'm like kind of limping. I can't put any
pressure on my left heel right now. I mean need
a short dose of pregnantz.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Own or something. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
I it's something from one's urgentcary yesterday.
Speaker 12 (24:56):
Shocking.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
I know you're with like, why would I go run
to an emergency room or something? Yeah, at like seven
o'clock last night, I was an urgent care. They took
X rays. They told me to ice it and through
certain stretches because my calves are very tight, not in
a muscular way, just in a you never stretch any way.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Years old, these things time. You've had two injuries.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You got injured playing wiffleball and whiffleball, and you got
injured playing pickleball practicing pickleball, Yes.
Speaker 11 (25:21):
Elbow injury, whiffleball planter fasciitis playing pickleball.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
That's pretty sad, Okay, are you going to be ready
for the rematch at Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I have to be.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
It's not up for to date. It's not a question
if I got to play on three toes on one foot,
I got to bounce.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay, this effects the bedding line right now, they're they've
taken it off the board.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's off the board.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It is because I don't know, I don't know how
healthy I saw you. You were in incredible pain. I
could see you, know your your facial expressions. It was
really heartbreaking but heartwarming that you still wanted to out
there and play a few minutes before that.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I'm slamming shots left and right. I think I hit
seating up pretty hard accidentally, like in the foot, and
all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
But it's like when when Kobe blew out his achilles
and he said, no, I want to go back and
shoot the free throws.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
This is almost exactly like that. I'd say, more like
a Willis Reed moment.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
So no, no, no, like you were Kurt Gibson without
the home run.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yes, I got it. I got a question.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Emergency room. If there's an emergency room physician out there
is a hurt foot not a torn up foot like
it's blown off, but a hurt foot emergency room worthy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Well, it is very painful, well, to be fair to Todd, emergencyful.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And it was urgent care, which is a step a lot.
So it's not an emergency room. That's just an after
hours kind of place to go. Urgent care.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's that's sort of the triple A version of the
emergent ero. You're going into urgent care. A couple of
phone calls in here, Let's see, how about David in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Hi, David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Hey bo, I'm.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Going I'm so good. I guess the main question I
got it, and I got still on a lot of
people's mind is do you feel like Pete will ever
make it even though he's passed on County, but we
want to do him any good.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, Pete's not getting in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, no, not anytime soon, not with this commissioner. And
I don't want this to be the topic today, Okay,
I don't. We've spent way too much time on it.
I've given you my opinion. My opinion hasn't changed. Baseball's
embraced gambling. I know all of that we've gone down
this road. This is not about Pete Rose today in
the Hall of Fame. So you can keep that opinion
(27:48):
until a day when maybe there is some kind of
movement on this. Let's see Rich in uh, Atlanta, I
believe Athens.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yes, outside of Atlanta, Hey.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
Rich, Yeah, let's see. So Wilfred Bill Winkenbox. I think
he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is the creator of fantasy football back in the sixties.
So you got to think of the generations of people
who are watching football strictly because of their fantasy team.
And it also created new revenue streams for the NFL
(28:22):
with advertising and sponsorship dollars. I just want to know
what ch'all thought about that.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, I think it's an interesting suggestion. But there are
a couple of people who have laid claim and credit
for creating fantasy football. You have to really go back
to Rotisserie baseball. Those are the guys who created this.
In my mind that they created this fantasy world. But look,
I'm I'm all about more. I'm about inclusion. You want
(28:47):
to have more people and celebrate more people. That's why
I hate when the Baseball Hall of fame will have
like one person. And now I don't want to just
put somebody in fast track somebody in. But I do
love when we celebrate. Had the opportunity to celebrate more people.
Gus in Los Angeles, Hi, Gus, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope you're the boys having a
good day. It's actually Gus in New Jersey today. I
got a wedding that I'm attending today. My cousin, like
my big brother here, he decided to get married for
some reason. Don't know why, but it's this big day
today and there's nobody else that I thought than you,
mister Patrick, along with the boys. If any of you
(29:29):
guys want to give some pearls of wisdom to the
man that's going to take the plunge.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Today, well some of my advice would have probably prevented
this so he wouldn't be getting married. But Gus, I
think you should be the announcer at the reception. You
should introduce the wedding party.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I mean, he is known as the Mexican Barry White.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
With that equal the Mexican Verry White. Okay, and Gus,
what's your friends name?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Frankie?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
All Right?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
All right, Frankie, it's her day, it's your mother in
law's day, and don't complain about anything.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Everything is great.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Really, limit your alcohol intake, be present, be in the moment.
Go from table to table, say hello to everybody. This
isn't your day when you get married. It's not about you.
Nobody cares, nobody wants to hear from you. Have fun,
engage people. Make sure that the best man's speech is
(30:34):
brief to the point. Don't let him get liquored up.
But stay in the moment, okay, because it's about her.
Everything is about her and your mother in law because
they spend all of this time trying to prepare for this.
So good luck there, Frankie. Okay, And I've talked so
(30:56):
many times about the best man's speeches. One was about
fourteen minutes come on, and he just kept telling stories
and people were getting up getting drink like they just
after a while, it became almost laughable. And that's where
you have to play music. You have to play them
off the stage, you know, after.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You really you're over.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Under should be five minutes at the most, and even
then five minutes is a long time.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Important to remember too, that for anyone giving a speech
in these moments, you're not as funny as you think
you are. And there is this movement over the last
thirty years or so, maybe forty years that these speeches
at weddings are supposed to be a roast.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
They're not because you're not that funny boy. But the
more you drink, the funnier you think you are. I
think I'm just gonna go for it. I'm just gonna
go don't do that.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Have you prepared a speech? No, I'm going to go
off the cuff. No no no.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
No no no no no no no no speaking of humor, yes, Todd,
you haven't.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
I don't drink at all.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
And I think I'm kind of hilarious times I've had
like maybe two be years in my life for whatever.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That's what okay?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I mean, I think you could give a good speech.
I think your speech would be too long.
Speaker 11 (32:09):
It would be too long, and I would rhyme it
when not everyone loves that. Not everything has to be
a poem with rhyme.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
You could do a limerick, could do it. I mean,
I'm okay with that. I can't do a fourteen minute no,
A bunch of liris No, you can't.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And I think you have that sensibility to be kind courteous,
uh sweet, but your speeches would go way too.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
Long, people rolling their eyes and pretending to yawn or
maybe actually on it.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yes, wife strife, it just works itself up. Oh, we
could do a little rhyme time what rhymes.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
With a null time? Divorce? Main course?
Speaker 11 (32:44):
There you go, before you guys get divorced. Please enjoy
your main course.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
We could do that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Pre n up. What's up?
Speaker 14 (32:54):
There?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You go? It rights itself, doesn't make you time.

Miller like Drafts at the Draft, and we're taking the

bar our friends at Miller like for fi fifty years.
Miller like the top pick for beer lovers since nineteen
seventy five, the original liked beer.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Let's see Dino in New York. Hi Dino, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 13 (34:12):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 7 (34:12):
How you doing good? Shir five nine six? Got a
few things. Number One, I'm retired. I'd never tell a
guy not to retire, but man, I'm going to miss
you when you're gone, When you start talking about those
three or four years you got left. I mean, I
hope the Dan Net's keep the show going. And maybe
(34:33):
the only thing I can think of is Ross Tucker
could possibly come close to filling your shoes. But your
show is just so much better than all the other
sports talk shows, and I don't think we'll see anything
like you. And I thank you for how much enjoyment
I get out of your show.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Thank you, Dono. I appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
My pleasure as a kid growing up in the seventies,
Being ten years old in nineteen seventy five, having privilege
to listen to Brent Musburger was you know, spoiled me
for everyone. The guy is just phenomenal back in the day.
The NFL today was perfect, you know, a great buttoned
up show. You know, it was just special and it
(35:14):
made you feel great and not really spurred on my
love of football. And as a draft lover, I've seen
every single televised draft since ESPN put it on back
in the early eighties or late seventies, back when it
was on Tuesday mornings. Mel Kiper is definitely deserving of
(35:36):
being in the hall. And you know, every year i'd
buy his his draft report. Yeah, and you'd call up
the number and Mel was doing it out of his kitchen.
Sometimes Mel would answer the phone and you'd get to
talk to Mel for a couple of minutes, and it
was just great. And I'm glad you brought him up.
I really think he's he's the next big one that
(35:57):
deserves to get in there. And one thing, if you
want to mention a player that deserves it, I think
the only guy I believe from the all eighties decade.
Team that's not in is Lester Hayes.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well, for some reason, I thought Lester Hayes was in.
I don't have any I'm going to say power or
authority or any sway with the voters. Pro football voters
are pretty locked in now. They do their homework. It's
a really tough job, really tough job because you're arguing
(36:31):
for and against players. But when it comes for the
Pete Rosel with the TV and the Radio award, then yes,
I'm going to get involved in that. And mel Kiper
would qualify for that, and mel Kiper would be great
as a Hall of Famer and worthy of that, and
Peter King as well. So any other suggestions while I
(36:52):
have this platform, if I can use it, great, I'll
be more than happy to eight seven to seven three
DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, twitter handle a
DP show. I saw this story about the Chiefs wanting
to be the official Christmas Day team of the NFL.
They reached out to the NFL reportedly reached out and said,
(37:15):
we want to be the team that plays every Christmas Day.
You know, the Lions on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys on Thanksgiving,
and then you'll just have another game that's uses on
NBC at night. But the Chiefs said, hey, we want
to be there every single Christmas Day. Well, the NFL
said no. Mike North, the vice president of broadcast Planning
(37:38):
for the NFL, talking about the Chiefs on Christmas Day.
Speaker 15 (37:44):
For a team like the Chiefs to volunteer for Christmas
while they're busy winning every other super Bowl or whatever
it is, and you know, their tight end iss dating
the biggest pop star on the planet. Like, sure, the
league office would love for the Chiefs the hosts on
Christmas every year. Thanks volunteering, boys, But you know, I'm
not sure that's become a tradition quite the way Thanksgiving is.
I mean, think about what it took for that tradition, right,
(38:05):
the Lion since the thirties, the Cowboys since the sixties.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
The league doesn't want see this would be like, yeah,
we're gonna let the Chiefs be our official Christmas Day
football team. And then you would have people probably criticizing
the NFL like why are you letting the Chiefs be
Now a lot of these guys don't want to play
on Christmas Day. Yeah, Lebron has been playing on Christmas
Day for nineteen out of twenty two years, I don't
(38:33):
think that he's been in favor of playing on Christmas Day.
You get a big audience, big platform there. But here
are the Chiefs and maybe the NFL saying we can't
let them have what they want. Now, if the NFL
came to them and said we want to put you
on Christmas Day, then it would be different. But here's
once again, Mike North. He sets up the schedule with
(38:53):
Howard Katz at the NFL, and he was on the
It's Always Game Day in Buffalo podcast about committee to
the Chiefs.
Speaker 15 (39:01):
Both from the fans standpoint. You know, I know the
Chiefs are raising their hands supposedly, but you know that's
a lot to ask your fans come out every year
on Christmas. Certainly while you're good and you're winning AFC
West titles and fighting for Super Bowls. Yeah, it's easy
give You know, if five years from now, after Patrick
Mahomes retires and you know they're not the you know,
(39:22):
perennial division champion and in every AFC Championship game, I'm
not sure we'd want to be, you know, married to
a site.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
And I get that, but for the time being, you
could unofficially officially lock in the Kansas City Chiefs with
Patrick Mahomes. I feel pretty confident over the next five
years they'd still be Musty TV and be a very
competitive team.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
It's such a great organization that does Andy Reid coach
for five more years?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Probably not. Kelsey's not going to be there. Mahomes will
be there. As long as you have Rett Beach as
your g you're probably going to have a competitive team.
Chris Jones isn't going to be there. I mean, if
you really start to look at it, if you have Mahomes,
is that enough from US SEETV? But the fact that
they wanted to do it at the NFL the NFL,
(40:14):
you have to wait for us to tell you that
we'll let you do that.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yes, Marvin, do.
Speaker 12 (40:19):
You think this is a concerted effort by the Chiefs
to try to make themselves even bigger so they can
become the Cowboys in twenty years where they have fans everywhere,
almost like the Steelers in the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Well, you're seeing these teams who want designated areas in
the world, like We're going to be the team in Brazil,
We're going to be the team in Germany, We're going
to be the team in Ireland. That's how you expand
your brand. But if you look back on the Cowboys
were always there every Thanksgiving. That's how you become America's team.
You were good playing on Thanksgiving. The Lions started out
(40:53):
being good back in the thirties, and then all of
a sudden, we just accepted that the Lions were going
to be playing. They'd be playing the early game where like,
oh it's cute, Lions get a nationally televised game. The Cowboys,
they became America's team partly due to being there on
Thanksgiving seeing them all the time. Seaton, could you update
(41:15):
the poll results from the first hour?
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I can I feel badly about it.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Why worst tot injury pickleball heel or whiffleball elbow? Right now,
wiffleball elbow running away with sixty two percent of that vote,
but it's trending upward.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Yeah, that was kind of sad, and he was playing great.
He was dominating wiffleball, and his career may be over.
