(00:44):
could go wrong eight seven to seven to three DP

question at least for the first hour of this award

(02:11):
we can use you back into this job. I know
you've been gone for a little while. A little bit. Yeah, yeah,
get my sea legs back a bit. Press the button
and the red light comes on. That's on it, and
then you speaking no, oh wait, that's that was a
cough button.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
So if you were on the college football committee, which
Russia now would be most important whilst ranking the teams,
that's your cue that this is from Paul.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
The word walst was used.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
In it.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
A team's resume, current chance to win the title, or
teams that will be best for ratings. I think that
this is very pointed at one specific matchup, but we'll see.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, And I'm curious what Chris Fowler will say about
this when he joins this like next hour, because it
is entertainment. You want ratings, you want Notre Dame. There
there's a chance Notre Dame does not make the college
football playoffs. Now there's some scenarios that have to happen.
But if I'm going to look at BYU and Notre
Dame straight up right now, BYU has the better resume.

(03:13):
BYU has Texas Tech coming up this weekend. Notre Dame
doesn't play until their next game, which could be a
bowl game or a playoff game. But if you're just
looking the eye test BYU as a better resume. Now
we've been matching up Notre Dame in Miami, and I
still think Notre Dame is a better team. I want

(03:33):
to factor in how you play now. They did have
two losses. They did lose to Miami, they lost at
home to Texas Tech. But Texas to me is playing
as good to football as maybe anybody is right now.
But they have three losses and they went out and
scheduled Ohio State to start the year. If BYU doesn't

(03:54):
have a game this weekend, is BYU going to be
in the college football playoffs? If Texas had one more
game and won the game, would they be in the playoffs? See,
this is where it gets tricky with these conference title games.
I don't like them. I think it's a money grab
and I think at times it does hurt some of
these schools that if they do lose, then they're not

(04:17):
going to be in the college football playoffs. Not everybody
has a conference championship game to play him. I mean,
he got Duke with five losses playing in the ACC
title game. But there's a chance the ACC will I
guess be on the outside looking in. Yeah, palling.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
There's so many semantics to this.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Because Duke in Virginia, there's like a loophole because Duke
isn't currently ranked in the top twenty five. They could
beat Virginia and not be in there's a possibility of
it because they're not ranked.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
It's like a tax loophole.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's really weird, and it's a national signing day and
I can't imagine how morale is in Penn State Happy
Valley because we had Devin mccordyon from NBC Football Night
in America, former defensive back, and he said, you go
to play for the coach. Well, if you're going to
go to Penn State, who's your coach? And Kalani Sataki,

(05:10):
BYU head coach is going to stay at BYU. I
guess a big booster came in, big donor and said
you're not going anywhere, you're one of us. And he's
done a really good job. I think BYU is a
really good job. If you look at the history of
that program, very underrated. You can look at forty years
of BYU football and it's an underrated program. So he's

(05:35):
going to stay there. They're playing Texas Tech in the
title game there and maybe a chance to go into
the playoffs. But for Penn State, we said it at
the time, Okay, you're going to fire James Franklin, who
are you bringing in? And it felt like we got
to get rid of James Franklin. We'll worry about that
other stuff later on, and that's come back to haunt them. Yeah, Paulie,

(05:59):
it does.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Like Penn State miscalculated their reputation. Like we're Penn State,
We're going to have our pick of coaches because we're
firing our head coach early. So we're early in this
process and then like the Dominos fell and a bunch
of people passed, and it almost like devalued the brand
month by month.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, and you start to look at, Okay, maybe there's
somebody who is going to be coaching in the playoffs
and that's who you got your site set on. Maybe
it's an assistant coach who's there. Not sure. I thought
Brian Hartline, the offensive coordinator at Ohio State, might get
an opportunity. I think he was up for the Kentucky job,
and maybe maybe he does get a chance.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I don't think he's had any head coaching experience. I
do know he is a great recruiter. He certainly knows
what a great wide receiver looks like. If you Ohio
States become wide receiver, Hugh, who would have thought that?
What he Hayes. I can't imagine what he hayes if
somebody said, you know, they don't run the ball anywhere
near the way they used to. It's not three yards
in a cloud of dust. They throw the ball a lot.

(06:58):
Are they good? Yeah they are, they're really good. Alrighty,
battle to cough here, So if I hit the cough
button a couple of times here, we'll try to slug
our way through this. Yeah, it's going around. Well, it
stayed around. I've had this going around and sticking around

(07:21):
a little bit. Yeah, sorry to hear that. Man, It's like, man,
how did this happen again? It won't leave me. It's
like Todd, it's always there. Yes, the nineteen year cough.
Apparently twenty two year cough. Yeah, Pauling.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
There are worse diseases to bring home from Vegas, though.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Historically you think about it the cold and your your
rough shade.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
But historically some of them clear up a lot easier, though. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, penicillin.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Penicillin knock that right out. I had penicillin, you know,
I had the shots. Had the doctor came to my
uh my hotel room. I have to call her back,
see if she'll give me a you know drive by here. Yeah, Pauling, this.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Could be an early best week in sports. But what
an opportunity for BYU. You keep your coach from going
to Penn State, which you would think would be of reverse.
You lose your coach to Penn State. You could get
in the playoffs this weekend by beating Texas Tech, and
you could knock Notre Dame possibly out of the playoffs,
all in.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
A week's time for BYU football.

Speaker 8 (08:17):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, interesting times though, And I know these coaches, they
rail against this, but then the coaches are the ones
who can change this. And I mean, I don't know
what kind of reform we're going to have, and I'll
talk to Chris Fowler about this that you know, we
just need to come up with a solution that works
for everybody. Works. Imagine National Signing Day. So imagine if

(08:38):
you're a big time recruit and you were planning on
going to Penn State. Well, James Franklin goes to Virginia Tech. Well,
now are you going to follow James Franklin to Virginia Tech?
And that's what's happening. So we can we can talk
about current players, the coaches, changing fan base is and

(09:00):
I mean all of these things the high school kid.
Nobody is factoring that in Hey, who's my coach? Where
am I going? What other pole questions do you have?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Setan well, we could go with one there sort of
point about BYU, who will get in Notre Dame or BYU?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
And then who should get in Notre Dame?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
BYU?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Okay, well by you should right now? But you know,
strength to schedule record. They're playing for a conference championship. Man,
I'd be I'd be shocked if Notre Dame's not in. Yeah,
because you want to do everything you possibly can to
get Notre Dame in. You still want eyeballs, you still
want a great Cinderella story, and you'll probably have that.

(09:46):
It has a way of sorting itself out. I know
that we always look at worst case scenario, and but
it just feels like whenever we talk about these scenarios,
it just seems to work its way out to have
a little chaos. I'm okay with that. Yes, Marvin is
Alabama in trouble if they get like housed by Georgia,

(10:08):
I would say yes. I would say yes. And although
this isn't a dynamic Georgia team, but Alabama. You need
a good showing and look, it's only a two point spread,
so they're expecting a close game.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Yeah, Paul, And the other team that's in the play
the conference playoffs this weekend, the conference championships, Indiana, you
need a nice showing against Ohio State. Now you're obviously
still going to stay in the playoffs, but you know,
the downside is probably worse than the upside this weekend
for Indiana.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And Old Miss went up in the rankings, the standings
there with the College Football Selection Committee. I'm kind of
surprised at that. And then you got Charlie Weis junior
who was the defensive coordinator and he's now going to LSU,
but now he goes back to Ole Miss to be
the defensive coordinator during the playoff.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Like a loner.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
What is going on? Yeah, it's like a loaner.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Car is he looking at the Penn State job now?
Based off the strength of that?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I have no idea what's going on. But Lane had
to sign off on this, and then Ole Miss had
to sign on off on this, and then you get
our defensive coordinator and then we're going to take him
back when the playoffs are over all right. A couple
of phone calls in here, Chris and Syracuse leads us
off this morning. Hi Chris, what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Thanks Dan?

Speaker 9 (11:23):
Yeah, a couple things you guys are talking Penn State.
You know, the Penn State coach coaching search reminds me
of the New York Knicks coaching search after they fired
Tom Thibodeau last year. Both seemingly plumb jobs. But you
wonder if Penn State's going to be like the Knicks
and whoever they do end up hiring. It's not really
an upgrade. And I definitely think there's no way Lane

(11:43):
Tippins should coach that game, the playoff game.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
But he's got to be rolling.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
His eyes a little with new LSU coach Charlie Weiss
junior allowed.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
To Yeah, but and I don't understand the backroom dealings
with this. I don't want Charlie Weis junior there. I
don't want Lane Kiffin there. These are our guys, these
are our coaches. Let's go out and plague. But we
did spend a lot of time on Lane Kiff. And
now there is a player that we've been in contact

(12:15):
with who said that Lane. You know, the players weren't
all gung ho. They wanted Lane Kiffin to stay there,
and I think some of that news came out. We
had gotten word a couple of days ago. But Lane
makes it seem like all those players wanted me, all
the national media wanted me to stay and coach that

(12:35):
you're not a victim. You got a great job. Celebrate it,
you know, don't be apologetic. Take the job. You took
the job, Enjoy the job. Good luck with the job.
But the other stuff stop making it seem like this
is all one old miss. Yes.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, that's about as fast as a hero to zero
transition as I think I can ever remember in modern sports.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I watched the press conference.
It just didn't seem like he was in a celebratory mood.
It was almost a mood of well, they wouldn't let
me coach. Yeah, I wouldn't let you coach. You took
the job, Yeah, but I wanted to finish the job. Well,

(13:20):
you didn't finish the job. Go to LSU. It's okay,
it's a great job. But for him to come out
and say I don't know how much I'm getting paid, really,
it's not the answer I want from my coach, how
much you got with the collectibles, the collectives or and
I I don't know, Like you don't know how much

(13:40):
you're getting paid to make it seem like, well, money
wasn't an issue here, you're being highly compensated. That's why
he doesn't want to say anything. I mean, I wish
you would stop trying to kind of clean up the
mess here. Yeah, it's he's walking behind the elephant in
the circus. It's just like, move on, It's okay, yes, Ton,

(14:02):
when you're.

Speaker 10 (14:02):
Twenty, it's okay to play that card. It's all about
the opportunity. I got to build up my resume, and
whenever they pay me, I'll just take it. But at
this point in the game, that's a very difficult thing
to believe.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
You know.

Speaker 10 (14:11):
It sounds nice to say that it's all about the
opportunity that I wasn't really crunching the numbers. I'll leave
that to my agent, but I can't anyone gonna have
a brain don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh yeah, coach, would you take five million if they
could use the other ten million for recruits? N I
l would you coach it? Because money doesn't matter, it's
the job. Right, See, it's all silly. Just stop, you know,
making up excuses. Just take the job.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's the landscape that we have, like it or not,
that's the landscape we have.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Yes, Paul, I do think that what you guys just
said is exactly the reason why Lane Kiffin let Charlie
Weist Junior stay for a month or two with ole
Miss football as offensive coordinator. It's like I'll loan him
back to you. He's not coaching with LSU like he
and Lane. They're not coaching the team in any bowl
game they get. They've already announced that, so he would
just be say in there not doing anything. It's almost

(15:02):
like I'm going to loan you this as an olive
branch on the way out to help you with the
playoff committee. They announced us before the playoff selections yesterday.
And maybe it's not a little bit of a light
olive branch between the two.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
They're still hated rivals. They're always going to be hated rivals.
Next November when LSU goes to ole Miss, it is
going to be a scene. So, I mean, you can
put a band aid on it, but boy, they can
rip the band aid off really quickly. All right, we'll
settle on our poll question. More phone calls coming up,
and we'll talk more about the college football well the rankings,

(15:36):
really everything attached to that with Chris Fowler a little
bit later on. We're back after this Dan Patrick's Show.

Speaker 1 (15:42):

Speaker 2 (16:22):
National Signing Day for college football. Penn State enters the
day with just four recruits, so their class for this
year ranks around Montana State, Missouri State, and Akron. This
is Penn State we're talking about. And you go back
to the James Franklin firing. Got to get him out

(16:43):
of here. Where Penn State will have our choice and
maybe they do find their coach. They missed on a
few coaches, and maybe they eventually find the guy, and
I'm sure they can tell us all along, this is
the guy that we wanted after they've been turned down
by a few coaches. Yes, Pauling, just.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
To give you a comparison, twenty four to seven Sports
really dialed in on this stuff. Last year, Penn State
was fifth ranked in the Big Ten with commitments at
this juncture of signing week, and they had twenty eight.
They were only behind Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and USC. Understandable.
And this year, with the same situation, like you said,
just in the Big Ten, they are at best twelfth place.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Mis Penn State. They're known for their recruiting. They get
great players there. They turn out to be a lot
of great pros that go there. But it is National
Signing Day. Never in my wildest dreams imagination did I
think that Vandy would be able to flip a quarterback
who was maybe going to Georgia, Jared Curtis, who was
from Nashville, five star recruit. He's going to be the

(17:50):
successor to Diego Pavilla, there at Vandy. I have the
college football title odds. Ohio State is the big favorite.
Then it's Indiana, then Georgia. Then you have Oregon and
Notre Dame who are tied. Then it's Texas tech A
and m Alabama, and then Old Miss is way down
the list top heavy with Ohio State, Indiana. The fact

(18:14):
that Notre Dame and Oregon have the same odds and
we don't even know if Notre Dame is going to
make the playoffs? All right? Each seven to seven three
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle DP show.
I believe we have settled on a pole question, at
least for the first hour of the program.

Speaker 8 (18:32):
Seaton.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
I haven't even gotten into the Toddler assumptions as well.
Oh Todd has some Oh okay, many, I've got another
one here from Paul to Paul submitted a second and said,
would you rather move to Amsterdam or Barcelona?

Speaker 7 (18:43):
That's fun.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Let's say you had never been to either.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Todd just went to one, Seaton just went to another,
just off without going to either. Just their reputations. You
had to move tomorrow for the rest of your life
to Amsterdam or Barcelona.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Amsterdam i'd like to visit. I think barcel is where
I would live. Amsterdam feels like there's a novelty to it.
You want to see the canals, you want to see
everything that's attached to that Copenhagen, all of those things.
Barcelona probably said live there.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yeah, Paul Dan, I've been to Amsham twice, kind of
like Hamilton original cast. Amsterdam has that reputation with the
red light district and the weed when you get there.
It's really a small part of the city. The red
light district is three blocks right by the train station.
It's easily avoidable, and the rest of it's beautiful. It's like,
I don't know how to compare it. It's not like Venice.

(19:38):
But isn't that Venice Ilk where it's like canals and
bicycles and all that great stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Well, they're just known as the Venice of the North.
Here you got Did you come up with that? Or
is that historic? I don't know sure? Why not? Yeah, Seaton,
Would you take Barcelona the rest of your life easily? Easily? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
But I've been to both places. Both are spectacular. Barcelona
is one of the best places I've ever been in
my life. It's incredible. It's kind of like it's a
lot like me in high school, but as a city.
It's a lot of skateboarding, a lot of graffiti, a
lot of like music and stuff like that. It's exactly
the right temperature for me.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Do they call it Bartholona over there? Barcelona? I don't know,
not around me, but.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Maybe they were just being okay with my Barcelona.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah. Well, my son went to Barcelona and we said,
how was Barcelona? He goes, no, no, no, it's Barcelona befa.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
I go.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
We spent some time in a bifa.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, Todd, how about you Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Bartholona.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I really enjoyed amsterday.

Speaker 10 (20:46):
I've never been to Barcelona, so it be hard to
compare the two, but if they were both presented to me,
I would probably want to see Barcelona first, but I
am curious. I'd like to get to I haven't been
to Spain or France. I've just been to parts of Italy,
so I'm not the best person to answer that.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
But I did enjoy Amsterdam very much.

Speaker 10 (21:01):
But I could see what you're saying about it seems
more of a touristy go there for maybe a week
or two, not necessarily to live there forever.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
I loved going to Venice, but I don't want to
live in Venice, you know. And it's there's a great
curiosity there and how it's built in the canals and beautiful.
But there's other places. If you said I could pick,
then I would probably pick those. But it's, you know,
something you need to see. What other pole questions t

(21:30):
o dubs? You want to run through? A couple you've got,
let's do it. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (21:34):
Are you comfortable with the current college football ranking system?
A simple yes or no? Are you comfortable with the
current college football ranking system?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's comfortable, yeah, I would say I'm not comfortable. No,
I mean, am I okay with it? Yes? But I'm
not completely comfortable with it. I accept it, but then
I have no other choice.

Speaker 10 (21:58):
What else do you if you were well off financially,
would you give large sums of money to alma mater
to improve.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Their athletic programs?

Speaker 10 (22:05):
Is that how you'd like to spend a lot of
your money? If well off could mean doesn't necessarily mean
you're a billionaire, but you're doing very well financially, but
you'd like to see your alma mater do well. What
you know, are you going to do that?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah? I mean if you have cash and you want
to see, you know, your alma mater do well, and
you can take great pride in that, and you know
you're a big booster of that. Sure I could see that.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
And in the old days, if you're a booster, your
money could go to like a general college fund or
the athletic department, but it might go to build something.
Now you could just send your money and say we
want to buy players. You can just funnel your money
right to Michigan or Nebraska and say I would like
to buy that quarterback please.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah you can actually, you know, go buy you know
the window shopping say I'm going to take that and
take one of those and and can I get one
of those two? Yes? You can? What else? Do you
have time? A couple more? How much college?

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Best?

Speaker 10 (23:00):
People are you watching right now? A lot peak here
and there waiting for March madness.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
All I know is Cameron Boozer needs to go to
the NBA right now. He had another great game last night.
He has ninety points over the last three games for
Duke and you know, if you don't like Duke, then
you're not gonna like Cameron Boozer because he's really good,
really good. What else do you have?

Speaker 10 (23:25):
And the last side fun one. It's exactly three weeks
until Christmas Eve? So I ask you how much holiday
shopping have you done? Exactly three weeks before Christmas Eve?
All finished, mostly done, bought a few items?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
None, zero, I've done nothing. Wow, it's zero. And I'm
starting to get nervous because I usually dominate. I get
my wife a great gift. I only have to get
one gift that she has to do all the other shopping.
And I'm whiffing on this right now, so I'm getting
a little nervous here. I'd like to get her the

(23:57):
autograph calendar of the DP show, but we're out of
those calendars unless.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
She ordered one, unless she already ordered one.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, might have to get the Tailgate moonshine and they
special there with the autographic calendary. Thank you, Tom, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
With your wife. With your wives, guys, do you ask
her what she wants and asks for a couple ideas
or do you say I got this big surprise.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I usually run reconnaissance with one of my daughters and
she can help out a little bit. Yeah, yeah, smart,
I mean I do, I ask, but she always says
I don't want anything, and I know that that's not true.
I say, you can't do that when everybody's opening gifts

(24:42):
and then they'll be like, what'd you get mom? Nothing? Nothing,
just this smile right here. She said you didn't want anything.
So yeah, yeah, Now it's tough. You know, it's tricky.
But never ever, you young guys out there, when they
say they don't want to gift, they want a gift,
do not fall for that. I brought my bought my

(25:07):
wife a blender one time for Christmas back in the
early days, and she goes, oh, it's a blender. I
said yes, and I've never lived that down. As kids
will always say oh, did you get mom a blender?
And I'll go nope, uh, nope, god or something different.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Yes, if you're going to do the blender, it's got
to be a joke and you have to put a
high end piece of jewelry in the bottom of the
blender like that would be the move.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I think.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, So no blender this year, but open to suggestions,
all right. Cody in Texas Good morning, Cody. What's on
your mind today?

Speaker 5 (25:44):
Hey Dan?

Speaker 7 (25:45):
I want to give the committee some props for you know,
they get a lot of stuff wrong, but man leaving
Texas out, that was a good move. Texas doesn't belong
in the playoffs. This this this media blitz of well
what about they lost to Florida and then they got
dog walked two weeks ago by Georgia. They were not

(26:06):
a playoff team.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, you're right, you know that Florida loss is the
one and if they don't make it, they don't make it.
But I do think they're you know, you can see
what they did against A and M. I mean, that's impressive,
and A and M is a top five team. But
they got to look at your resume. The Florida loss
was a bad loss and they'll look back on that.
And yes, they played Ohio State. They played Ohio State close,

(26:33):
they lost that game. And three losses, it feels like
it's really difficult for the committee to go, We're going
to make an exception and have that three loss team
in Dan in Ohio. Hi Dan, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (26:47):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Dan? Sixty five?

Speaker 8 (26:53):
Just wondering what you guys think. Do you think college
football even wants to make.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Any change in a megaphone, Dan, are you using a
megaphone here?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Dan, It's great to be on the show. Very excited
to be here college football.

Speaker 8 (27:12):
Sorry, I do have a bluetooth.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Okay, can you hear me?

Speaker 7 (27:16):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Now, yeah, no, I can Okay.

Speaker 8 (27:20):
I'm just wondering if you think college football has any
sort of urgency or any even desire to make any
changes to coaching, hiring, transfer, portal signing day, anything like that.
They've absolutely dominated sports talk radio for the better part
of three weeks and I don't think anything would change

(27:42):
as far as fandom goes if they didn't make any changes.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know, say people, I don't know if they want
to make changes. You brought up a great point. You know,
they owned the sports talk whether it's TV or radio
the last couple of weeks with all this. That's that's happened,
and we'll continue. And that's hard to do when you're
knocking NFL out of the top spot there. But you know,

(28:08):
you want people talking about your product, and they are
and there might be some negatives in there, but people
are still talking about your product.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
Yeah, polling, and I think it's pretty obvious, but the
College Football Playoff Committee would much rather get three days
of heat like they're getting now than put together a
product that doesn't get the best ratings at the best matchups,
and it's clearly their motivation.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Lucas in Texas, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind? Hey Dan,
good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 13 (28:38):
Just wanted to have a quick bit on the Lane
Kippin saga that just never seems to end. I think
there's a reason that he was playing so koy with
his salary and whatnot, and I think it's politics. I mean,
a few weeks ago, the Louisiana governor made a big
show about bad contracts and we're not going to do
that again. I'm going to get involved, and they gave

(29:00):
Kiffen a worse contract. If you look at it, he
has a financial incentive for another team to perform well
in the playoff. If Ole Miss goes further, Lane gets
more of a bonus. And so frankly, I think I
think it's weird when politicians like try to actually substantively
get involved in sports. But if you're gonna throw yourself

(29:21):
out there, like, don't be afraid when you make a
dumb deal and then try to hide it by saying, well,
let's not talk about the money aspect.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, but I reported, I gave you all the details
yesterday in the final fifteen minutes of the program. I
told you exactly what it was, and that he gets
a bonus. He wanted to be rewarded for the job
that he did at Old Miss because hey, I'm gonna
take the job at LSU. I'm gonna take it now,
I'm gonna take the bullets here. But I want to

(29:48):
be compensated for you know, the clauses in my contract there,
and and that governor has to know what his contract is.
Everybody knows what the contract is. He's just silly for
Lane to go, yeah, I don't even know what I'm
getting paid. Yes you do, Yes you do, And you
know all the other you know bonuses that kick it,

(30:09):
you know all of those things. You got a great
agent who negotiated this. But it's not like you go, hey,
I don't want to know. I don't believe that for
a second, because we're starting to find out. You know, Lane,
it wasn't universal that everybody goes, hey, we want coach
Kiffin to coach us in the playoffs. Some of these
players have said no that that's not the case. So

(30:31):
he did know, he does know to be silly if
he didn't know. Curtis in Illinois, Hi, Curtis Morner DP
on the Lane Kiffin subject.

Speaker 14 (30:43):
I don't know if it's Devil's advocate, but does he
get any credit for this the fact that obviously the
LSU job came up, he was interested and he just
took it versus line about it for the next two
months or having a handshake deal that could have come
out and made him look worse in the media's eyes.
And then also on top of that, is there a

(31:03):
way that he could actually want the LSU job, take
the LSU job, but not take it right now.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
No, he wanted to get there before National Signing Day.
That's the problem with this. These coaches that hey, I'm
going to jump to. We got coaches whose teams are
in a conference championship game this weekend. They've already taken
another job, and it's because you got to get there
before National Signing Day. I mean, look at Penn State,

(31:32):
the mess that they're in because they don't have a
coach at National Signing Day. Lane had to take the job.
Then you're right. Could he have sat there and lied
and said, uh, you know, I'm staying here. He doesn't
have to apologize for taking the job, because that's the
way collegees set this up. You know, he didn't create

(31:54):
this window here. He took advantage of the window. He's
just the latest guy to do it. There'll be others
and he l s u is there. Is it a
better job than Ole Miss Yes, the resources, the money,
all of that, the talent surrounding, you know, three hour radius. Absolutely,
but it's just don't sit here and make excuses that, Hey,

(32:17):
I wanted but they didn't want me to stay. No,
I don't want you to stay. Go and don't apologize.
Go do your job and I'm sure he'll do a
great job there. All right, We'll come back more phone calls.

Speaker 12 (32:52):
This is the play of the day.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Check this out.

Speaker 12 (32:56):
He mounted it for Koozer, three shot it Hoorra sick
Ken of the lead switch him a five ago time
out Shire we break for thirty to.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Come sixty two fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
That's curtisey Learfield Sports Cam Boozer had twenty nine. Duke
is nine to zero on the season, They'd beaten Kansas,
Arkansas and Florida while they were ranked in the top
twenty five. Boozer is a little over eighteen years of age.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
He looks twenty five.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
He's great, great player. By the way, Chris Paul's career
is probably over. He was released or said home in
the middle of the night, and I think the Clippers
were playing in Atlanta, and then there was a statement
that was issued and said that hey, we're sending Chris
home and we're gonna help him with his career moving forward.

(33:59):
I mean, if you know you're gonna get rid of him,
can you get rid of him closer to LA than Atlanta?
Poor guy? They're going to make an all state commercial
out of this, Yes, Paulie.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
There's very few details on this overnight. None of the
writers have had any details on it. But Chris Paul
a couple of weeks ago it announced that he was
going to retire at the end of the season. He
thought they just let him finish out his career as
a Clipper. But there's no disciplinary things that are being reported.
There's very little stuff on the story.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
He played all eighty two games last year with San
Antonio and then went to the Clippers. Now he was
coming off the bench and he wasn't really doing much
for the Clippers and they're not going anywhere, you know,
ty Lou is probably trying to hold onto his job
there and Clippers are a mess. But I mean in
the middle of them of the night you say to Chris, hey,

(34:49):
we're going to release you. Now, does he get his
own you know, playing home or does he go commercial?

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Like?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
How does that work for Chris Paul, We're going to
help you moving forward? How are you going to help
you moving forward? Probably go into broadcasting, I'm guessing, but
that's a what twenty twenty one, twenty two year career.
I guess he could latch onto somebody. But yeah, he

(35:17):
wasn't doing much for the Clippers. I think he was
averaging like three points a game. Yeah, Marv, he should
finish out with Oklahoma City. He played there. He's tied
with Shake Gots Alexander. Just get a.

Speaker 10 (35:27):
Roster spot, hang out on the bench and watch them
win seventy five games.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, but they you don't want to use a roster
spot on somebody that really is not going. They don't
need help. They want a title. It's not like you go,
you know what they're missing. They're missing missing veteran leadership here.
You don't need that. By the way, I think they
have three first round picks in this upcoming draft. Okay
see does yes, Pauline.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Dan they have four first round picks in the Uppine draft.
They have the Clippers pick, which is the fifth pick
overall U Toss pick, which is ninth right now, and
they have Philadelphia's pick, which is fourteen. They have three
of the top fourteen picks.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Could you see them.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
Packaging all three and going to one and taking one
of the top guys. There's three guys they say in
this draft that are hot, hot properties that could be
interesting because there's not enough spots on OKC for three
new players.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I know you're right. And that's a young team. They
were a little over like twenty three years of age.
Winning the NBA championship pretty amazing. They've done a great job,
they really have. Sam Presty did a wonderful job building
that roster. But when you make that trade and you

(36:42):
get Shay Gilgis, then all of a sudden things started
to fall in place. I mean, Cheed Holmgren is a
nice player, but Shay Gilgis is a Hall of Fame player.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, Chris Paul to the thing with that that makes
you raise your eyebrows a little bit is that they
were in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, Oh, what'd you do in Atlanta? Chris?

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Oh allegedly, Oh what happened in Atlanta?

Speaker 1 (37:10):
What did you do?

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Noet released? No one gets released in Salt Lake City.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Over forty years, tire Rect's been helping us find the
right tires, howl and what and where we drive ship
fast and freeback by free roote, hazard protection, convenient installation
options with mobile tire installation, tirect dot com the way
tire buying should be. Thank you for all these suggestions
on how to get rid of this whatever I've gotten,
because I haven't figured this out yet. Got a couple

(37:39):
of shots when I was in Las Vegas. Thought thought
it was gone. Now I just got one of those
those medicine bombs at Starbucks. Oh what have you had those?
It's it's uh honey citrus mint tea. So I don't know,
given that a go here and see if anything changes,

(38:02):
like eleven dollars drinking any regular oil in there? Uh,
I don't. I got my wife giving me all kinds
of different things. Got to try this and this and
this and this and the and it so a little
drugged up here today.

Speaker 10 (39:46):
So why why did he pay the flight coach from
Atlanta back to la He's got plenty of.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Well, no, I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (39:50):

All of a sudden, middle seat coach, Chris Paul's there. Hey,

Speaker 3 (40:02):
And he's on the wait list.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
They saw CEP three up on the screen.

He didn't even have a guaranteed seat.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Michael and Montana. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 5 (40:12):
I think it was Mitchell in Montana. But sixths it's
gonna be like one nineties. I think someone said that
Lane Kiffen was the biggest hero to Zero and I
gotta wag my finger at that because that title goes
to Joe Paterno. For sure.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
That was Oranges.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, but that's something different than what we're talking about
with Lane Kiffin. Yeah. You know when they when they
start to tear down your statue, that pretty much you know,
that was the Ende.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Had resurrected his career from where he was sort of
a joke and then had all of this built up,
all of this goodwill, only to torch it in a
matter of like seven days by just taking another job.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
We'll talk some college football. Chris Fowler, Voice of College Football,
will stop by here in about twenty five minutes. More
of your phone calls as well. EH seven seven three
DP show. Paulie came in and he was, uh, I don't.
How would you describe your reaction to Kansas basketball platforms apoplectic?

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yes, it was quite salty.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Yes, Paulie goes, did you see Kansas? I go, what
did you see their uniforms? I go, yeah, Oh my god.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
