yours truly. So I'm I don't know if I'm an
officially a manor, but I'm becoming a manor. Yeah, what
(01:35):
does that mean? Well, I think it just means I'm
a badass. I'm an outdoorsman.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's on their lessons plate if I'm not mistaken. The
badass state.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Right, Yeah, like New Hampshire there, live free or die, right,
Maine is just I'm a badass.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yes, are the things you have to do to incorporate
yourself in Maine to feel more like a local, like
buy some Carhart jackets, or you know, I have that beard,
maybe grow beard even in summer.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, I don't think that. I did a lot of
fishing last week on vacation, a lot of fishing, some trout,
some salmon. I went to a shooting gallery, a shooting range,
and a friend of mine has the gun that John
Wick uses in his movies. So he said, you want
to go, you want to go shoot? And I go,
(02:25):
I don't know, maybe a BB gun. He goes, no, no, no, no, no,
I got the gun that john Wick uses.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I'm thinking I'm back all of a sudden. Did you
show up in a suit with a die?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, it was very serious when you're there, it is
really really really serious. And I'm you know, protocol, I'm
not doing well. But even with the headphones on, it
is woud in there. But yeah, I went john Wick
for a day.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yes, Paulin, you got ll bean boots at the Ready
winter summer. Doesn't matter where you go to the beach
in Main, you wear bean boots.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You would love it with the core that you get
to wear up here in Maine. Yes. And by the way,
if you're watching on Peacock and why wouldn't you be.
We have my boat name, So I have a sticker
that I put on. It says anchor. Man it's an
anchor and then it says man. But on the desk
we tried to fix attach one of those stickers there.
(03:27):
So that's what's on my pontoon boat. Yes, tod No,
I love.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
That Paul Bunyan thing with the player the jacket there
with the green pants. That may be the best thing
on that tess quad.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now, well it's saying a lot, but you know, the
audience will help supply some more Shotski's here for the desk,
my home away from home. All right, pull question today, Seaton,
what are we going to go with?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I think we should start with the obvious best Northern
New England State, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. Yeah that's right.
I didn't mean to take over the show right out
of the.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Gate, but wow, wow, it's going to get for me.
Get I could Paulie May hold on to Vermont? Oh boy, yeah,
I don't want to rile the locals here up in Maine.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He got more coastline up there than Vermont does. I
don't think Vermont has a ton of coastline.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, No, there's a lot of lakes up here. I
got to see some of the cabin masters up here
at the Great Show with Chase and Ryan and Ashley Jedi.
What else do we have there seeing, say.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
New Hampshire just scoffs at at Vermont like even we
have coastline, you fools. Let's see we could go another
big one from when we were off. Who you got
Tyreek Hill, Noah Lyles, that was a big story.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh my goodness, we'll talk about this. Noah Liles, I
think is going to join us in a couple of days.
But yeah, he was sort of you won your gold
medal and then you know, he got sick and the
two hundred and then Tyreek Hill kind of calls him out.
It goes back to Noah Lyles with the whole he's
the world champion, where you can't say a basketball team
(05:10):
is the world champ. You haven't played the entire world.
And then all these athletes kind of came down on him,
and then Tyreek Hill says he can beat him in
a fifty yard dash. So we'll we'll talk about that
and the difference between being fast and being some of
the fastest men in the world, and we'll talk about that.
(05:31):
Otto Bolden, who was the analyst for the Olympics, talked
about that, and he was an Olympian. He won three
medals as an Olympian. But just when you talk about
top end speed maintaining top end speed, that's different because
when you got the guy who's fast, he starts to
slow down. But the guy who's the fastest man in
the world, he doesn't slow down. He maintains twenty seven
(05:54):
miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yes, Paul, I did have an idea for the race
because I want to get in early on this idea
because you know, Noahles, you think would have a major
advantage on Tyreek Kill being a pure sprinter, that's what
he does for a living. Noah Lyles has to wear
a full football uniform, cleats, socks, helmet, EyeBlack, everything, and
then it's a It puts Tyreek Hill in his environment.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
It's good TV as well.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, I didn't think of that. I mean, I'd be
fine if they just wore track uniforms. Yeah, but I know, Hey,
it's content. It's the visual that you're going for. But
we'll have more on that coming up, and I think
no Allyles will join us later on in the week.
What else do you have seton?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, we've been putting it off as long as we can,
but I don't think we can anymore. The Bears are
dot dot dot a playoff team still building or the Bears.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
All I know is Paully had a great weekend. He
had a great weekend keep. Caitlin Clark played well and
Caleb Williams played well. Oh that's all he needs. But
you know, it's interesting how we use preseason results, where
you go, hey, Caleb Williams looked awesome. Well, you probably
(07:10):
saw one pass to Roma Doonsa that was a wonderful pass.
But if you watch the entire game, I don't think
you come away going, man, he is the next Patrick Mahomes.
He has mahomesy in qualities, but nobody's Patrick Mahomes. And
then you're watching bow Knicks with the Broncos, and all
of a sudden, you go, hey, Sean Payton's got his
(07:31):
next Drew Brees. I don't know if that's the case.
I do think that bow Knicks is a good quarterback,
a very experienced quarterback. I have very few quarterbacks who
have played more college football than bow Knicks has. Yes, dud,
I was.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Guilty of getting very excited about a meaningless preseason game
last night. I watched the whole thing, and Stidham had
his moments. Zach really didn't do much of anything but
seeing what bow Knicks was doing. I'm like all in
on like a ten and seven season at least you know.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
And the thing about the Caleb Williams place, You know,
if you watch the entire game, which I'm a maniac,
I watched the entire Bears versus Bengals, there was a
lot of plays where he's just rolling out, rolling out,
turning around and rolling out, and the ending was really great.
But it's one of those things where you're watching you're like,
is this great or is this entertaining?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, it's I don't blame you though, for getting super
excited about it because it's your first You've been thinking
about this the entire time, You've been super excited for
months thinking about it, and now you're finally getting to
see it. I mean, it's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
And that's what it is. A's a Bears fan.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's been one of those summers where you're on hard knocks,
you're at the Hall of Fame game, and then your
new quarterback finally gets a chance to play, and he
plays really well and has some really fantastic plays and
seeton as a Bears fan, there's plays that I've never
seen before. You know, they're like quarterbacks in Chicago don't
do that, especially at home.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So if you were seriously looking at it, though, where
do you put them in that? Do you feel like
the Bears are still the same old Bears? Do you
put them more as a playoff team? Where would you
look as a real I know you're a Bears fan,
but also as just a football person.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I think that's a good point because you have to
look at the Bears past year or year and a half,
the way they made the right trade and try to
bolster the line and bolster their skill positions, and they
finally have a team. Then they added a quarterback in
the draft, So it's almost like from a strategy standpoint,
you have to like what's going on. But I think
it's a Bears fan you also say, like, the Lions
(09:31):
look like the team that should win the NFC, not
only that division, but maybe the entire NFC. And if
you could just be happy having a eight nine ten
win season they won seven last year, that would be fine.
It's more so and I think I said this a
month ago, did we find our quarterback for the next five, six,
ten years?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
And it's leaning in that direction.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
It definitely appears that way, right, I mean, so far,
everything you're seeing, even just from sort of a I mean,
I hate to get into this early, even though that's
always a topic, but like the leadership part of it, like,
oh see, he's just a born leader. He kind of
has that energy and that swagger of a guy who's like,
you need to take seriously right from jump.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I was watching the game against the Bengals and it
felt like Kayleb Williams was not flappable. Again, it's a
preseason game against the second unit of the Bengals. I'm
not gonna have you know. They're not exactly playing the
Ravens with ray Lewis. Yeah, but there was plays where
he would just keep calm and he wouldn't just take
off running down the field. And not to compare him
to Justin Fields, but let's do it. Fields would have
been rushed and just taken off. It felt like Caleb
(10:31):
Williams was.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Like, let's keep looking, let's keep looking, let's keep looking.
Pass first, yes, Morvin, all right.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
So the question was for PAULI, So if the Lions
loose to the Bears once, are you like, all right,
this is a great season for us. Along with eight wins,
is it eight wins and a win against the Lions.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
It's gonna be a feel.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think we said this day in a couple of
weeks ago, it's gonna be a field at the end
of the season. Did we build a good team the
Chicago Bears, did they build a good team? Did they
find their quarterback? And why'll probably be a better team
this year, more threatening team for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well it's one of those that if you got eight wins,
but you beat the Lions once, you beat the Vikings
once and beat the Packers once, then that might be
viewed as a successful season. But back to bow nixt
he went eight of nine for eighty yards and he's
led six scoring drives in seven possessions in the preseason.
And I know that we grade this on a curve. Oh,
(11:24):
were you gonna give me a stat of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Stead of a day?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Stall of a day?
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Statuta day, Statuta day.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
This is the stule of the day.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Stat of the Day has always brought you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Now
once again you'll look at the results. Rock Perty didn't
play well. Well, we just assume he's going to play well.
Bow Knicks plays well. Caleb Williams plays well, therefore, oh
my gosh. And then Russell Wilson goes eight of ten
for forty seven yards, but he was sacked three times.
(12:02):
I have no idea how to grade what Russell Wilson did.
Justin fields takes over and he throws for ninety two yards.
He rushes for forty two yards. The Steelers' first team
offense so far in two preseason games hasn't scored any
points and has seven first downs. Not time to panic,
(12:24):
but certainly this would lead to maybe justin fields because
arm and legs, you're gonna need both of those. But
it is preseason and we tend to use these stats
for strengthening or weakening. An argument here, but I do
think with bo Nicks and Sean Payton, and Sean actually
(12:44):
liking his quarterback unlike Russell Wilson, that should help the
chemistry there. But Caleb Williams is not going to Carolina.
Caleb Williams is on a decent team in Chicago with
the potential to be a playoff team. I think that
would be a fair assessment. But the level of the
excitement in Chicago, I don't know if they felt this
(13:07):
since the eighty five Bears. Oh it's like, yeah, we're
going to be special this year. And you might be,
but in that division, I think you got to be fair.
Detroit will be good, Green Bay will be good. I
think Minnesota will be competitive even losing JJ McCarthy. Yes, Martin.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
Defensively, they've never felt that way, even with the Rex
Grocerman team, prime erlac or In Lance Briggs. You guys
didn't feel like really good, like our we're a super
Bowl contender even with a less than average offense.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I know what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It is trying to like you said, Dan, it's try
to keep calm, try to realize it's the preseason. But
it's like, you know, you've been hungry, for hungry, hungry
for years and someone walks in a nice stake to
you and you think it's the greatest stake you've ever seen.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
It's hard to keep cool.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All right, we'll get to your phone calls coming up
by the way over under. Let me see the stealing
I got over unders here for the Chiefs, Niners, Steelers, Broncos, Packers, Bills.
I'll get the Bears over under. Have that for you
coming up? All right, let me take a break just
getting started on this Monday. Your phone calls Operator Tyler

Speaker 2 (15:02):
The day coming up show. Hey o Tani. I can't
say quietly is having a historical season because it's show
Heyo Tani, but he is kind of casually cruising to
a forty forty season. That doesn't happen very often. Now,
the fact that we're bringing back the stolen base, that
they made the bases larger, that guys are actually stealing bases.
(15:24):
Otani with that power, how many players have gone forty forty?
They're five in history? Yeah, Paul, Yeah, there are five
in history. Can anyone name all five?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
One happens?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I bet Marvin Marvin.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
kN what happened recently? There's a hint, okay, Marvin Ronald D'acunye,
that's a recent one.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Whoa okay, Josie Conseko, he was first nineteen eighty eight.
Alex Rodriguez, Alex.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Rod nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, there's three.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds nineteen ninety six and was Okay,
here's the hint.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Did Ricky ever flirt with it?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I think he had thirty seven homers. I think he.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Flirted with it, but I don't think he ever got there.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
He probably had thirty seven homers and ninety steal and.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Chose not to. Yeah, yes, okay, here's a hint. Dan
two thousand and six for the Washington Nationals. This player
made his bones in New York, though, and became a
star in New York.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Alfonso Alfonso Ciriano.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Top Alfonso Soriano six with wow, forty six and forty one.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Here's a little kicker.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
All four guys, non active players, not in and not
going to the Hall of Fame Conseeco Bonds, Rodriguez Soriano.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, wow, and then Otani is got what thirty nine
home runs, thirty seven stolen bases yep, so he could
have that by the weekend where he's joined the forty
forty club quietly. Now his batting averages dropped dramatically though,
because he was in like three point fifty range now
(17:06):
down to two ninety. But we'll have Play of the
Day coming up. I guess I just gave away Play
of the day with a show Aotani with the home run.
All right, as promised, NFL over unders. I'll throw out
a team and then we'll see if we can guess this.
Let's start with the Bears, PAULI. The over under for
your Bears.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Is seventeen and a half Wow, eight and.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
A half, eight and a half Marvin measured nine and
a half bloop bloop got it. The Chiefs over under
seat and no counter twelve and a half Todd eleven
and a half bloop bloop Okay, over under the Niners,
(17:56):
Marvin your team over under eleven and a half? Are
you somebody came to playing, Uh the Steelers over under Todd.
Speaker 10 (18:08):
Nine and a half, Paul.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Seven and a half, seating eight and one half?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, that would be correct. All Mike Tomlin does is
make the playoffs. It you should be. He's going to
be on the cusp this year at eight and a half.
Todd your Broncos over under with bow Nicks.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
I'm gonna say nine and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, nobody else is going to say he got.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Very excited last night about that day against Green Berck.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Uh would you take the over at nine and a half?
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Would I.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Probably walking?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I would say probably not. I'm excited from last night.
I'm going recency bias nine and a half. That's probably
a seven and a half kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, it's five and a half. Wow, no expect Yeah,
five and a half. Would you take the over at
five and a half?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
We're six games?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come all right?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
If you're Sean Payton, are you looking at that as like, really,
I can't I can't get like a I can't get
a six and a half seven and a half. That's
how bad I am.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Packers over under Paulie ten and a half, Marvin nine
and a half? Yeah, blue bloom, dang, Marvin, you're killing
it today. So the Packers and the Bears have the
exact over under at nine and a half. How about
(19:35):
the team I will not pick to go to the
Super Bowl this year, the Buffalo Bills Seaton no counter
over under Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Big injury too with I'm gonna say nine and a half.
Bloom bloom blooeah. Marvin gave me that answer, So that's
how I know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is that true?
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
All right, so that's the old undergame here. Yeah, we
did it. I'm still fascinated how JJ McCarthy got injured
because I'm reading the game summary and there was no
like hit or falling. And Albert Breer is going to
(20:18):
join us a little bit later on the Monday morning quarterback.
He's at the Jets camp today. And I don't know
if it was wear and tear. Did other teams know that,
the Vikings know that maybe there was some fraying, some
terrors something in there, because at the combine they want
to they get to check your medicals, and I don't
(20:40):
know if you can just have an injury like that
and he's out for the season and he had played well, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Mike Flooryda did a bit of a dive on this,
and he says he didn't see a play or a
moment from the game where McCarthy was cringing, came off
the field, see treatment at any point during the preseason,
and the Vikings aren't saying much. So people are wondering
if it's a pre existing condition, was exacerbated with the
new turf, whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, you got some interesting situations like the Raiders, Gardner
Minshew is going to be your quarterback, and I don't
know if that's a ringing endorsement where you know you're
going Antonio Pierce is like, well, somebody's got to start.
And Gardner Minshew, who I think is a very capable quarterback.
That's not a ringing endorsement, but I do think that
(21:27):
he's always going to have a job in the NFL.
It's just that's where I thought, you know, if you're
gonna make a splash, I thought Michael Pennox Junior was
going to end up a Raider. I thought they'd go
all in. Then you finally had your quarterback there, but
Aidan O'Connell will be the backup to Gardner Minshew. Yes, Marvin,
(21:47):
do you think.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
That Gardener Mitschew could have like a Nick Foles type
of run? Would you be surprised if I'm saying with
any team he's on and it's like, Wow, Gardner Minshew
super Bowl MVP, would that shock you?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, But the Eagles were great. I mean that was
a really talented team. I think the Raiders have a
couple of really good players. I don't think they have
a really good team and that's the difference and Nick Foles.
You know, that was just a magical year, you know,
start to finish, although he did have that other one
with Chip Kelly, but for the most part, he's had
(22:21):
two incredible seasons and one ended up with a Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yes, Paul minsh was a really curious case back when
he started remembers like with five six years ago with Jacksonville.
He had this debut season he had twenty one touchdowns
and six picks, and now he's filled in in spots
before in Annapolis.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
He got a bunch of starts last year.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
In his career, he has fifty nine touchdowns and only
twenty four picks. That's a fantastic ratio for a backup.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
First, what are Sam Donald's numbers? Because now he gets
the start in Minnesota and I think Sam's only twenty seven.
Doesn't he feel like he's the oldest twenty seven year old?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, he just turned twenty seven. Sam Darnald in his
career has six starts. He's twenty one and thirty five.
As a starter, he has sixty three touchdowns and fifty
six picks.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
Ouch.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
But yep, fready because you're a Jet.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
It's funny how uh Sam Donald is the oldest twenty
seven year old, but Gardner Minshew is being reborn at
twenty eight, Like, hey, what an opportunity this fella is
getting on. This might be it for him. Sam Donald
was like, eh, well, eh.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How many how many stops do is Sam Donald?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We've seen a lot of him.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, well we saw a lot of him with the
Jets and then he sort of disappeared. But now he's
going to be your starter for the entire year, which
you got you know, you got blessed with a couple
of really good receivers there in Minnesota, and you're your
head coach is an offensive minded head coach, so maybe
Sam Donald has that Baker Mayfield type season like he
(23:51):
had in Tampa.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, Paul, are we playing the who has a better
seasonan Sam Donald or Gardner Minshew game?
Speaker 13 (23:56):
I haven't played that hour one poll question. There you go,
No one's doing it, Okay, all right, cow man. You
know I love both of these guys.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, not necessarily as my starting quarterback, but I I
do really love these guys. Sam Donald with Minnesota, Gardner
Minshew with the Raiders? Which team would you rather quarterback?
I think I'd rather quarterback Minnesota? Yeah, I got I
got too really, I got the best receiver in the
(24:31):
NFL jet uh, the Raiders. Okay, I got a really
good wide receiver, but it's still the Raiders. Yeah, I
think Minnesota. I'm gonna go Sam. Okay, let's do the
over under touchdown passes, Sam Donald. I don't know if
DraftKings has the stabs for this. Maybe we could check.
(24:53):
Maybe we could check on that over under touchdown passes
Sam Donald.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Marvin twenty four and a half.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Wow, Paulie, I would by default.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
I'm gonna go twenty three. Todd nineteen and a half.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sea eighteen and a half.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
All right, I'm I'm gonna go twenty five comeback Player
of the Year. Yes, twenty five touchdowns for Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you want to do a Sam Donald career touchdowns?
Dan sixty three?
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Okay, sixty three. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It was the most he's thrown in a season is
nineteen ooh, yes, paul.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I actually have new Sam Darnald actual odds over under
passing touchdown.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Someone at Draft Kings was up late.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Okay, nineteen and a half for Sam.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh, what up? That's Todd?
Speaker 10 (25:58):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Okay Minshew?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Okay, under Gardner Minshew, I'm gonna go twenty one and
a half. Marvin. Wait, you're leading the witness there.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Twenty one and a half, Todd.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Twenty three and a half.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Okay, see, I mean this is no disrespect. Fifteen and
a half.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Wow, Okay, Yeah, Well, Paulie just gave you a hint
where he said, Boy, that's ambitious with what I said.
So I'm going to say seventeen and a half for
Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
According to the DraftKings can't believe they have this line.
Gardner Minshew eighteen and a half touchdowns this year?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Okay, Hey, I'm gonna go over with Gardner Minshew. I'm
thinking positive today, Positivity Monday. Here all right, best and
worst of the weekend. Update the poll results, got our
play of the day coming up? Buddha in san for Cisco.
Good morning, Buddha. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What up?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
DP?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Welcome back boys, Minister of humor. Every day is the
super Bowl. Let's go. The Dan Patrick Show is my
sports show, Binkie DP. Nothing else comes even close to
what this show offers. And it is a new setup.
Looks swanky too. Nice work to all, Dan. I think
Steph Kerry may have rewritten the all time top ten
(27:27):
list with his golden daggers in the Olympics. And I
wanted to ask you Dan our boys. Laton received a
sign jersey from Lebron and then, in Lowton fashion, proceeds
to sign it himself and then sends it back to Lebron.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That is legendary.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
But DP, I always ask you what you enjoyed wine
wise on your breaks, But today I'd like to ask
what the dan As enjoyed. I mean, I know Fritzy
goes to his Mountain dew, but for Poly's Seaton and
Marvin like what do they enjoy? Some sea smoke, favorite spirit,
favorite beer.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Welcome back boys, Thank you Buddha. Yeah, I broke out
the bourbon last night, had a little Buffalo trace, very
very good bourbon for the price. And so I'm sitting outside,
had a fire going, smoking a cigar. Big German is
there and I'm drinking some bourbon and we're just telling stories.
(28:23):
So beautiful setting with the big German, as beautiful as
it can be by a campfire with him.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
Yes, Tod, has he become your main man now? Because
we're all going.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
To get an okay?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
All right, all right, I see what you did there?
See what you did?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Main like a state.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, Noank is in Maine, Thank you, Thank you. Back
Row is on it today, Joe and l Passo. Hi Joe,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (28:49):
What up? DP? Hey? But five two thirty sharing a
little bit of a hangover from my birthday partyast night,
but it's all good. Hey, DP, I just wanted to
ask you real quick with this new setup, technically, can
we now call you the bad Larry of the DP
(29:11):
show since you're contributing from a distance and that's number one,
number two now that you're more comfortable and up north
and away from the boys, meaning that you're probably a
little bit less stressed. Can we start talking about a
possible extension on the no credit for your timeline?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Joe, Joe, it's still December twenty fourth of twenty twenty seven.
Even though this is relaxing and it's a break from
the studio and being around Todd every day, this isn't
going to extend any Let me get through today and
then we'll figure out, if you know, maybe this is
the Hey, maybe I could do more shows from me,
(29:55):
but right now we're as scheduled. Peter in North Carolina. Hi, Peter,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (30:04):
Hey, Danny boy?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
How we doing great?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
It is?
Speaker 12 (30:07):
This is Peter griff and I wanted to call and
talk because Tommy Brady left and now I have Joshua
Patrick Allen. We're very excited about the Buffalo Bills this year.
No Stephan who what was his name? He went to Houston.
I think he's complaining to the quarterback. Already, Shut up, Meg,
I'm on the phone.
Speaker 14 (30:25):
Shut up, shut up.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Meg.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
We love you, DP.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
It's so good to be back and I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Thank thank you, Peter, Thank you, and my apologies to
Meg Josh and Iowa. Hi Josh, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
How we doing DP?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Great?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Spectacular spectacular?
Speaker 5 (30:51):
I love it?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Six foot two, a solid two tag.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
All I gotta say is can we bring back.
Speaker 12 (30:59):
That thirty seconds of soccer from Setons?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Because I want to know this talk on Patino and
maybe I said that completely wrong.
Speaker 12 (31:06):
I a Tito fan.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I just wanted to bring back that thirty seconds of
soccer talk because the Premier Year is back.
Speaker 15 (31:12):
Baby, Let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All right, Josh, thank you. The United States men's team
has a new coach. Would you like to give us
a thirty second recap their series?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I don't even know if I need thirty seconds. It's
like the most one of the most massive upgrades in
sports you could possibly imagine. It's like going from uh
like me as your football coach to Bill Belichick. It's like,
holy crap, we just got This is an unbelievable upgrade.
The rumor was Jurgen Klop, although I think that was
really wishful thinking. And Mariitio Pochettino was probably the number
(31:46):
two on that list of the biggest hires we could
possibly get, and it isn't official official yet. I haven't
seen the press conference of him saying I can't wait
to work with Christian Polisic. But the rumor is is
that he's agreed to the job. So until I see
that press conference, I'm still remaining somewhat reserved. Okay, it's
a big it's a massive upgrade, though massive.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
All Right, we'll take a break. We got our play
of the day coming up top of the hour. The
Texas head coach Steve Serkesia will join us Albert Breers
at the Jets camp. We'll talk to him a little
bit later on as well. We're back with our play
of the day right after this.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 7 (32:33):
Oh my God.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
This is the play of the day. Check this out.
Speaker 14 (32:44):
And the pitch from Sonny Gray. Oh, Tony Hammers want
to write this ball is deep, there's both gone. It's
in the cardinal boat.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Ben.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
Welcome back, my friends to the show that Never ends.
He's hit another one. It's his seventh home run this
week's National.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Work Day thirty ninety.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That's courtesy of AM five seventy LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network.
That is your play of the day. Play of the
day brought to you by Express Employment Professionals. While Express
helps people in all industries find work, it's the red
zone for hiring logistics throlls like warehouse, forklift customer service jobs.
Check out expresspros dot com. Find the local office nearest

to you. That's expresspros dot Com. Some other information on
Shohyo tani thirty ninth home run. Only three players in
Dodgers history have hit more home runs than Otani through
the first one hundred and twenty five games Cody Bellinger
in twenty nineteen, Adrian Beltra and four, and Gary Sheffield
in two thousand. He's also on pace to become the
(33:49):
fifth player in baseball history to have led both the
National League and American League in home runs. You would
get one of these, maybe two. The other two I
had no idea who they were, Buck Freeman and Sam Crawford.
The other two you should get. One led the National
(34:12):
League and American League in home runs, Paulie Mark McGuire
bloop bloop, and the other one very underrated but now
got rated, became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Oh, what's his name again, Jim Nick?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, Fred McGriff, the crime dog. Yes, Fred McGriff. What
if Otani goes fifty to fifty Now you said, what
thirty nine homers, thirty seven stolen bases. Nobody's done fifty
to fifty.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Yeah, po based off Otani's pace, they said, as of
this morning, he's on pace for fifty home runs and
forty eight steals. The closest alt to combining for fifty
to fifty. A rod in nineteen ninety eight had forty
two homers and forty six Doolen bases. So no one's
gone beyond that level.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And we didn't even know how much he was going
to play. The surgery in the off season. And by
the way, it was never Tommy John surgery, but you
got the feeling that it was. And then was it
a procedure. Here's something else I was thinking, and this
is going to sound random, At what point does somebody
come up with a surgery that is better than Tommy
(35:34):
John surgery, Like you have an elective surgery, and so
that person is going to be the name of the
new surgery, and then we don't call it Tommy John surgery,
like Aaron Rodgers with what happened with his achilles and
that doctor who also was the same one who operated
on show Ayotani. We could end up, you know, calling
(35:58):
the Achilles surgery after this doctor. But somebody might come
up with a better way to uh maybe you call
it the Tommy surgery or Aaron Rodgers' surgery. But Tommy John.
How long has Tommy John? You know the injury, the
surgery been called Tommy John surgery? Is this forty years?
(36:21):
Somebody's gonna come up with a better way and then
they're gonna knock Tommy John out of our vocabulary.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, Pauline, wouldn't you feel awful for Tommy John if
that were the case. He's got this one thing to
hang his hat on. Very good picture, right, very long, long,
good career.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Should he be in the Hall of Fame? If I
look at all of his numbers? What did he have?
Two hundred and eighty wins? Yeah, and he gave us
Tommy John surgery. Is that contributions to the game? Like
his left arm, he contributed because he had surgery and
then was able to come back.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
But you're saying, actually contribute the arm like when he
goes no Lead, No Lead. The arms of the Hall
of Fame, A nice display, bubble wrap it, whatever you
want to do, ship it.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I went to a bar in Ireland outside of Dublin
and there was an arm like the uh, the skeleton
of an arm of a former fighter and it was
on the wall and we were fascinated that this boxer.
I don't know if he donated this to the bar,
(37:26):
but there was a skeleton of his right arm and
we just fascinated.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You know, we just don't text a germy enough humans
these days. You know, it's a huge growth industry. It's
a hole. Somebody fills it.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah, wouldn't that be weird? You go into somebody's house
and go, what's that? Oh it's Tommy, Uncle Jim not
with us any Oh, well that's his right leg.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah. He'd a great field goal kicker and he loved
shaking hands. Look at him still giving given out handshakes.
Huh look at him?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
What was the bar called the hideout in Ireland with
the arm? Because I found that there's a famous boxer
named Dan Donnelly and he left his actual arm.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
Okay to this.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
There you go the gentleman named Jim Byrne who owned
a bar, and there was passed down both the pub
and the arm to his son, and it's still there.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Okay, all right, Dott, I guess I was sober enough
to remember that it actually did happen. But yeah, it's
weird you go in there. I was fascinating. We went
to the bar only to see this guy's arm. Yes, Todd,
but if you.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Learned there's some type of afterlife and now you're walking
around with one arm or one leg because you gave
something to a bar, seems kind of awful.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It does, but still, you know it's something that's historical
that you're gonna if you're gonna leave something for somebody.
Speaker 10 (38:44):
I'm ripping around, But that saloon has this really cool
thing over the fireplace of mine.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Okay, but we wouldn't be talking about this guy. Would
you rather that we didn't talk about you or we
talked about you? Because this guy left his arm. He
was a boxer.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
I just think you rolled the dice that it could
be an after life and you keep your body parts.
Speaker 10 (39:00):
I don't know, that's just me.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Do you think there's an afterlife?
Speaker 7 (39:05):
You maybe come back as a table though, or an
owl or I don't know, a table.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
That wouldn't be a very sturdy table. I'm not put
any any weight on that table. Okay, all right, Seaton
update the poll results from our one. Steve Serkesian, the
Texas head coach, will join us, coming up in about
fifteen minutes from now. All right, seven, what do you
got who's going to have a better season? Sam Donald
or Gardner Minshew right now? Yeah, but this is a
(39:36):
valid question because of these two teams, they're going to
be the starting quarterbacks. Yes, okay, so one audience, I
think they're going to take Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
They're taking Sam Donald by exactly zero point four percent
of the Okay, this is a fifty to fifty pole question. Uh,
thousands of votes in fifty to fifty Yeah. Yeah, Sports
Center is going to steal this one, guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Clearly. Let me see Morgan in Maryland, see if we
can squeeze you in. Hey Morgan, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 15 (40:11):
So I have worst of the weekend and best of
last weekend. Okay, worst of the weekend definitely Russell Wilson
and his lesson stellar preseason debut with the Steelers. I
don't think that what anyone was hoping for, especially not
the Steelers or their fans. It's just not pretty to watch.
And then best of last weekend. I was on my
(40:33):
way to New Hampshire and I was in your guy's
neck of the woods. I took a wrong exit and
I was kind of rolling around Milford seeing that, looking
in people's cars to see if I could see any
dan Patrick or Danett's rolling around to no avail. I
didn't see anybody, but I felt good just being it,
you know, in the shadow of the clubhouse in the
man cab.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Well, thank you Morgan for I think kind of creeping
around the man cake there. Yeah, we run vacation, so
coming up. We'll talk to Steve Serkesean Texas in the SEC.
Probably took a little time to get used to that
with thing we're in the SEC. Their second game of
(41:15):
the season is Michigan. I got Georgia on there. They
got you know, a couple of tough, tough games there.
But we'll talk to Steve. He'll join us
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, I did it. I finally got away from the
dan Uts, figured out a way to get out of
the man cave, and I headed north. So I'm joining
you from the great state of Maine. If you're watching
new setup here, yep. I'm coming back eventually, but for now.
Todd's like, are you coming back soon? I go, Todd,
I'll be there maybe next week. Now, can you survive?
(00:27):
I know, I know, but I'll keep an eye on you.
But here in Maine. So it's kind of a vacation
while still working, and the gang's all here ready to go.
Best and worst of the weekend, as we always do

officially a manor, but I'm becoming a manor. Yeah, what
(01:35):
does that mean? Well, I think it just means I'm
a badass. I'm an outdoorsman.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's on their lessons plate if I'm not mistaken. The
badass state.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Right, Yeah, like New Hampshire there, live free or die, right,
Maine is just I'm a badass.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yes, are the things you have to do to incorporate
yourself in Maine to feel more like a local, like
buy some Carhart jackets, or you know, I have that beard,
maybe grow beard even in summer.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, I don't think that. I did a lot of
fishing last week on vacation, a lot of fishing, some trout,
some salmon. I went to a shooting gallery, a shooting range,
and a friend of mine has the gun that John
Wick uses in his movies. So he said, you want
to go, you want to go shoot? And I go,
(02:25):
I don't know, maybe a BB gun. He goes, no, no, no, no, no,
I got the gun that john Wick uses.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I'm thinking I'm back all of a sudden. Did you
show up in a suit with a die?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, it was very serious when you're there, it is
really really really serious. And I'm you know, protocol, I'm
not doing well. But even with the headphones on, it
is woud in there. But yeah, I went john Wick
for a day.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yes, Paulin, you got ll bean boots at the Ready
winter summer. Doesn't matter where you go to the beach
in Main, you wear bean boots.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You would love it with the core that you get
to wear up here in Maine. Yes. And by the way,
if you're watching on Peacock and why wouldn't you be.
We have my boat name, So I have a sticker
that I put on. It says anchor. Man it's an
anchor and then it says man. But on the desk
we tried to fix attach one of those stickers there.
(03:27):
So that's what's on my pontoon boat. Yes, tod No,
I love.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
That Paul Bunyan thing with the player the jacket there
with the green pants. That may be the best thing
on that tess quad.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now, well it's saying a lot, but you know, the
audience will help supply some more Shotski's here for the desk,
my home away from home. All right, pull question today, Seaton,
what are we going to go with?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I think we should start with the obvious best Northern
New England State, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. Yeah that's right.
I didn't mean to take over the show right out
of the.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Gate, but wow, wow, it's going to get for me.
Get I could Paulie May hold on to Vermont? Oh boy, yeah,
I don't want to rile the locals here up in Maine.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He got more coastline up there than Vermont does. I
don't think Vermont has a ton of coastline.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, No, there's a lot of lakes up here. I
got to see some of the cabin masters up here
at the Great Show with Chase and Ryan and Ashley Jedi.
What else do we have there seeing, say.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
New Hampshire just scoffs at at Vermont like even we
have coastline, you fools. Let's see we could go another
big one from when we were off. Who you got
Tyreek Hill, Noah Lyles, that was a big story.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh my goodness, we'll talk about this. Noah Liles, I
think is going to join us in a couple of days.
But yeah, he was sort of you won your gold
medal and then you know, he got sick and the
two hundred and then Tyreek Hill kind of calls him out.
It goes back to Noah Lyles with the whole he's
the world champion, where you can't say a basketball team
(05:10):
is the world champ. You haven't played the entire world.
And then all these athletes kind of came down on him,
and then Tyreek Hill says he can beat him in
a fifty yard dash. So we'll we'll talk about that
and the difference between being fast and being some of
the fastest men in the world, and we'll talk about that.
(05:31):
Otto Bolden, who was the analyst for the Olympics, talked
about that, and he was an Olympian. He won three
medals as an Olympian. But just when you talk about
top end speed maintaining top end speed, that's different because
when you got the guy who's fast, he starts to
slow down. But the guy who's the fastest man in
the world, he doesn't slow down. He maintains twenty seven
(05:54):
miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yes, Paul, I did have an idea for the race
because I want to get in early on this idea
because you know, Noahles, you think would have a major
advantage on Tyreek Kill being a pure sprinter, that's what
he does for a living. Noah Lyles has to wear
a full football uniform, cleats, socks, helmet, EyeBlack, everything, and
then it's a It puts Tyreek Hill in his environment.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
It's good TV as well.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, I didn't think of that. I mean, I'd be
fine if they just wore track uniforms. Yeah, but I know, Hey,
it's content. It's the visual that you're going for. But
we'll have more on that coming up, and I think
no Allyles will join us later on in the week.
What else do you have seton?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, we've been putting it off as long as we can,
but I don't think we can anymore. The Bears are
dot dot dot a playoff team still building or the Bears.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
All I know is Paully had a great weekend. He
had a great weekend keep. Caitlin Clark played well and
Caleb Williams played well. Oh that's all he needs. But
you know, it's interesting how we use preseason results, where
you go, hey, Caleb Williams looked awesome. Well, you probably
(07:10):
saw one pass to Roma Doonsa that was a wonderful pass.
But if you watch the entire game, I don't think
you come away going, man, he is the next Patrick Mahomes.
He has mahomesy in qualities, but nobody's Patrick Mahomes. And
then you're watching bow Knicks with the Broncos, and all
of a sudden, you go, hey, Sean Payton's got his
(07:31):
next Drew Brees. I don't know if that's the case.
I do think that bow Knicks is a good quarterback,
a very experienced quarterback. I have very few quarterbacks who
have played more college football than bow Knicks has. Yes, dud,
I was.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Guilty of getting very excited about a meaningless preseason game
last night. I watched the whole thing, and Stidham had
his moments. Zach really didn't do much of anything but
seeing what bow Knicks was doing. I'm like all in
on like a ten and seven season at least you know.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
And the thing about the Caleb Williams place, You know,
if you watch the entire game, which I'm a maniac,
I watched the entire Bears versus Bengals, there was a
lot of plays where he's just rolling out, rolling out,
turning around and rolling out, and the ending was really great.
But it's one of those things where you're watching you're like,
is this great or is this entertaining?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, it's I don't blame you though, for getting super
excited about it because it's your first You've been thinking
about this the entire time, You've been super excited for
months thinking about it, and now you're finally getting to
see it. I mean, it's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
And that's what it is. A's a Bears fan.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's been one of those summers where you're on hard knocks,
you're at the Hall of Fame game, and then your
new quarterback finally gets a chance to play, and he
plays really well and has some really fantastic plays and
seeton as a Bears fan, there's plays that I've never
seen before. You know, they're like quarterbacks in Chicago don't
do that, especially at home.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So if you were seriously looking at it, though, where
do you put them in that? Do you feel like
the Bears are still the same old Bears? Do you
put them more as a playoff team? Where would you
look as a real I know you're a Bears fan,
but also as just a football person.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I think that's a good point because you have to
look at the Bears past year or year and a half,
the way they made the right trade and try to
bolster the line and bolster their skill positions, and they
finally have a team. Then they added a quarterback in
the draft, So it's almost like from a strategy standpoint,
you have to like what's going on. But I think
it's a Bears fan you also say, like, the Lions
(09:31):
look like the team that should win the NFC, not
only that division, but maybe the entire NFC. And if
you could just be happy having a eight nine ten
win season they won seven last year, that would be fine.
It's more so and I think I said this a
month ago, did we find our quarterback for the next five, six,
ten years?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
And it's leaning in that direction.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
It definitely appears that way, right, I mean, so far,
everything you're seeing, even just from sort of a I mean,
I hate to get into this early, even though that's
always a topic, but like the leadership part of it, like,
oh see, he's just a born leader. He kind of
has that energy and that swagger of a guy who's like,
you need to take seriously right from jump.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I was watching the game against the Bengals and it
felt like Kayleb Williams was not flappable. Again, it's a
preseason game against the second unit of the Bengals. I'm
not gonna have you know. They're not exactly playing the
Ravens with ray Lewis. Yeah, but there was plays where
he would just keep calm and he wouldn't just take
off running down the field. And not to compare him
to Justin Fields, but let's do it. Fields would have
been rushed and just taken off. It felt like Caleb
(10:31):
Williams was.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Like, let's keep looking, let's keep looking, let's keep looking.
Pass first, yes, Morvin, all right.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
So the question was for PAULI, So if the Lions
loose to the Bears once, are you like, all right,
this is a great season for us. Along with eight wins,
is it eight wins and a win against the Lions.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
It's gonna be a feel.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think we said this day in a couple of
weeks ago, it's gonna be a field at the end
of the season. Did we build a good team the
Chicago Bears, did they build a good team? Did they
find their quarterback? And why'll probably be a better team
this year, more threatening team for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well it's one of those that if you got eight wins,
but you beat the Lions once, you beat the Vikings
once and beat the Packers once, then that might be
viewed as a successful season. But back to bow nixt
he went eight of nine for eighty yards and he's
led six scoring drives in seven possessions in the preseason.
And I know that we grade this on a curve. Oh,
(11:24):
were you gonna give me a stat of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Stead of a day?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Stall of a day?
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Statuta day, Statuta day.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
This is the stule of the day.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Stat of the Day has always brought you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Now
once again you'll look at the results. Rock Perty didn't
play well. Well, we just assume he's going to play well.
Bow Knicks plays well. Caleb Williams plays well, therefore, oh
my gosh. And then Russell Wilson goes eight of ten
for forty seven yards, but he was sacked three times.
(12:02):
I have no idea how to grade what Russell Wilson did.
Justin fields takes over and he throws for ninety two yards.
He rushes for forty two yards. The Steelers' first team
offense so far in two preseason games hasn't scored any
points and has seven first downs. Not time to panic,
(12:24):
but certainly this would lead to maybe justin fields because
arm and legs, you're gonna need both of those. But
it is preseason and we tend to use these stats
for strengthening or weakening. An argument here, but I do
think with bo Nicks and Sean Payton, and Sean actually
(12:44):
liking his quarterback unlike Russell Wilson, that should help the
chemistry there. But Caleb Williams is not going to Carolina.
Caleb Williams is on a decent team in Chicago with
the potential to be a playoff team. I think that
would be a fair assessment. But the level of the
excitement in Chicago, I don't know if they felt this
(13:07):
since the eighty five Bears. Oh it's like, yeah, we're
going to be special this year. And you might be,
but in that division, I think you got to be fair.
Detroit will be good, Green Bay will be good. I
think Minnesota will be competitive even losing JJ McCarthy. Yes, Martin.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
Defensively, they've never felt that way, even with the Rex
Grocerman team, prime erlac or In Lance Briggs. You guys
didn't feel like really good, like our we're a super
Bowl contender even with a less than average offense.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I know what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It is trying to like you said, Dan, it's try
to keep calm, try to realize it's the preseason. But
it's like, you know, you've been hungry, for hungry, hungry
for years and someone walks in a nice stake to
you and you think it's the greatest stake you've ever seen.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
It's hard to keep cool.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All right, we'll get to your phone calls coming up
by the way over under. Let me see the stealing
I got over unders here for the Chiefs, Niners, Steelers, Broncos, Packers, Bills.
I'll get the Bears over under. Have that for you

Speaker 2 (15:02):
The day coming up show. Hey o Tani. I can't
say quietly is having a historical season because it's show
Heyo Tani, but he is kind of casually cruising to
a forty forty season. That doesn't happen very often. Now,
the fact that we're bringing back the stolen base, that
they made the bases larger, that guys are actually stealing bases.
(15:24):
Otani with that power, how many players have gone forty forty?
They're five in history? Yeah, Paul, Yeah, there are five
in history. Can anyone name all five?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
One happens?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I bet Marvin Marvin.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
kN what happened recently? There's a hint, okay, Marvin Ronald D'acunye,
that's a recent one.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Whoa okay, Josie Conseko, he was first nineteen eighty eight.
Alex Rodriguez, Alex.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Rod nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, there's three.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds nineteen ninety six and was Okay,
here's the hint.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Did Ricky ever flirt with it?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I think he had thirty seven homers. I think he.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Flirted with it, but I don't think he ever got there.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
He probably had thirty seven homers and ninety steal and.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Chose not to. Yeah, yes, okay, here's a hint. Dan
two thousand and six for the Washington Nationals. This player
made his bones in New York, though, and became a
star in New York.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Alfonso Alfonso Ciriano.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Top Alfonso Soriano six with wow, forty six and forty one.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Here's a little kicker.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
All four guys, non active players, not in and not
going to the Hall of Fame Conseeco Bonds, Rodriguez Soriano.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, wow, and then Otani is got what thirty nine
home runs, thirty seven stolen bases yep, so he could
have that by the weekend where he's joined the forty
forty club quietly. Now his batting averages dropped dramatically though,
because he was in like three point fifty range now
(17:06):
down to two ninety. But we'll have Play of the
Day coming up. I guess I just gave away Play
of the day with a show Aotani with the home run.
All right, as promised, NFL over unders. I'll throw out
a team and then we'll see if we can guess this.
Let's start with the Bears, PAULI. The over under for
your Bears.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Is seventeen and a half Wow, eight and.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
A half, eight and a half Marvin measured nine and
a half bloop bloop got it. The Chiefs over under
seat and no counter twelve and a half Todd eleven
and a half bloop bloop Okay, over under the Niners,
(17:56):
Marvin your team over under eleven and a half? Are
you somebody came to playing, Uh the Steelers over under Todd.
Speaker 10 (18:08):
Nine and a half, Paul.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Seven and a half, seating eight and one half?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, that would be correct. All Mike Tomlin does is
make the playoffs. It you should be. He's going to
be on the cusp this year at eight and a half.
Todd your Broncos over under with bow Nicks.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
I'm gonna say nine and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, nobody else is going to say he got.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Very excited last night about that day against Green Berck.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Uh would you take the over at nine and a half?
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Would I.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Probably walking?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I would say probably not. I'm excited from last night.
I'm going recency bias nine and a half. That's probably
a seven and a half kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, it's five and a half. Wow, no expect Yeah,
five and a half. Would you take the over at
five and a half?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
We're six games?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Come all right?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
If you're Sean Payton, are you looking at that as like, really,
I can't I can't get like a I can't get
a six and a half seven and a half. That's
how bad I am.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Packers over under Paulie ten and a half, Marvin nine
and a half? Yeah, blue bloom, dang, Marvin, you're killing
it today. So the Packers and the Bears have the
exact over under at nine and a half. How about
(19:35):
the team I will not pick to go to the
Super Bowl this year, the Buffalo Bills Seaton no counter
over under Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Big injury too with I'm gonna say nine and a half.
Bloom bloom blooeah. Marvin gave me that answer, So that's
how I know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is that true?
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
All right, so that's the old undergame here. Yeah, we
did it. I'm still fascinated how JJ McCarthy got injured
because I'm reading the game summary and there was no
like hit or falling. And Albert Breer is going to
(20:18):
join us a little bit later on the Monday morning quarterback.
He's at the Jets camp today. And I don't know
if it was wear and tear. Did other teams know that,
the Vikings know that maybe there was some fraying, some
terrors something in there, because at the combine they want
to they get to check your medicals, and I don't
(20:40):
know if you can just have an injury like that
and he's out for the season and he had played well, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Mike Flooryda did a bit of a dive on this,
and he says he didn't see a play or a
moment from the game where McCarthy was cringing, came off
the field, see treatment at any point during the preseason,
and the Vikings aren't saying much. So people are wondering
if it's a pre existing condition, was exacerbated with the
new turf, whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, you got some interesting situations like the Raiders, Gardner
Minshew is going to be your quarterback, and I don't
know if that's a ringing endorsement where you know you're
going Antonio Pierce is like, well, somebody's got to start.
And Gardner Minshew, who I think is a very capable quarterback.
That's not a ringing endorsement, but I do think that
(21:27):
he's always going to have a job in the NFL.
It's just that's where I thought, you know, if you're
gonna make a splash, I thought Michael Pennox Junior was
going to end up a Raider. I thought they'd go
all in. Then you finally had your quarterback there, but
Aidan O'Connell will be the backup to Gardner Minshew. Yes, Marvin,
(21:47):
do you think.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
That Gardener Mitschew could have like a Nick Foles type
of run? Would you be surprised if I'm saying with
any team he's on and it's like, Wow, Gardner Minshew
super Bowl MVP, would that shock you?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, But the Eagles were great. I mean that was
a really talented team. I think the Raiders have a
couple of really good players. I don't think they have
a really good team and that's the difference and Nick Foles.
You know, that was just a magical year, you know,
start to finish, although he did have that other one
with Chip Kelly, but for the most part, he's had
(22:21):
two incredible seasons and one ended up with a Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yes, Paul minsh was a really curious case back when
he started remembers like with five six years ago with Jacksonville.
He had this debut season he had twenty one touchdowns
and six picks, and now he's filled in in spots
before in Annapolis.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
He got a bunch of starts last year.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
In his career, he has fifty nine touchdowns and only
twenty four picks. That's a fantastic ratio for a backup.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
First, what are Sam Donald's numbers? Because now he gets
the start in Minnesota and I think Sam's only twenty seven.
Doesn't he feel like he's the oldest twenty seven year old?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, he just turned twenty seven. Sam Darnald in his
career has six starts. He's twenty one and thirty five.
As a starter, he has sixty three touchdowns and fifty
six picks.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
Ouch.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
But yep, fready because you're a Jet.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
It's funny how uh Sam Donald is the oldest twenty
seven year old, but Gardner Minshew is being reborn at
twenty eight, Like, hey, what an opportunity this fella is
getting on. This might be it for him. Sam Donald
was like, eh, well, eh.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How many how many stops do is Sam Donald?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We've seen a lot of him.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, well we saw a lot of him with the
Jets and then he sort of disappeared. But now he's
going to be your starter for the entire year, which
you got you know, you got blessed with a couple
of really good receivers there in Minnesota, and you're your
head coach is an offensive minded head coach, so maybe
Sam Donald has that Baker Mayfield type season like he
(23:51):
had in Tampa.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, Paul, are we playing the who has a better
seasonan Sam Donald or Gardner Minshew game?
Speaker 13 (23:56):
I haven't played that hour one poll question. There you go,
No one's doing it, Okay, all right, cow man. You
know I love both of these guys.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, not necessarily as my starting quarterback, but I I
do really love these guys. Sam Donald with Minnesota, Gardner
Minshew with the Raiders? Which team would you rather quarterback?
I think I'd rather quarterback Minnesota? Yeah, I got I
got too really, I got the best receiver in the
(24:31):
NFL jet uh, the Raiders. Okay, I got a really
good wide receiver, but it's still the Raiders. Yeah, I
think Minnesota. I'm gonna go Sam. Okay, let's do the
over under touchdown passes, Sam Donald. I don't know if
DraftKings has the stabs for this. Maybe we could check.
(24:53):
Maybe we could check on that over under touchdown passes
Sam Donald.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Marvin twenty four and a half.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Wow, Paulie, I would by default.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
I'm gonna go twenty three. Todd nineteen and a half.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sea eighteen and a half.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
All right, I'm I'm gonna go twenty five comeback Player
of the Year. Yes, twenty five touchdowns for Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you want to do a Sam Donald career touchdowns?
Dan sixty three?
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Okay, sixty three. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It was the most he's thrown in a season is
nineteen ooh, yes, paul.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I actually have new Sam Darnald actual odds over under
passing touchdown.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Someone at Draft Kings was up late.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Okay, nineteen and a half for Sam.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh, what up? That's Todd?
Speaker 10 (25:58):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Okay Minshew?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Okay, under Gardner Minshew, I'm gonna go twenty one and
a half. Marvin. Wait, you're leading the witness there.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Twenty one and a half, Todd.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Twenty three and a half.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Okay, see, I mean this is no disrespect. Fifteen and
a half.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Wow, Okay, Yeah, Well, Paulie just gave you a hint
where he said, Boy, that's ambitious with what I said.
So I'm going to say seventeen and a half for
Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
According to the DraftKings can't believe they have this line.
Gardner Minshew eighteen and a half touchdowns this year?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Okay, Hey, I'm gonna go over with Gardner Minshew. I'm
thinking positive today, Positivity Monday. Here all right, best and
worst of the weekend. Update the poll results, got our
play of the day coming up? Buddha in san for Cisco.
Good morning, Buddha. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
What up?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
DP?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Welcome back boys, Minister of humor. Every day is the
super Bowl. Let's go. The Dan Patrick Show is my
sports show, Binkie DP. Nothing else comes even close to
what this show offers. And it is a new setup.
Looks swanky too. Nice work to all, Dan. I think
Steph Kerry may have rewritten the all time top ten
(27:27):
list with his golden daggers in the Olympics. And I
wanted to ask you Dan our boys. Laton received a
sign jersey from Lebron and then, in Lowton fashion, proceeds
to sign it himself and then sends it back to Lebron.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That is legendary.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
But DP, I always ask you what you enjoyed wine
wise on your breaks, But today I'd like to ask
what the dan As enjoyed. I mean, I know Fritzy
goes to his Mountain dew, but for Poly's Seaton and
Marvin like what do they enjoy? Some sea smoke, favorite spirit,
favorite beer.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Welcome back boys, Thank you Buddha. Yeah, I broke out
the bourbon last night, had a little Buffalo trace, very
very good bourbon for the price. And so I'm sitting outside,
had a fire going, smoking a cigar. Big German is
there and I'm drinking some bourbon and we're just telling stories.
(28:23):
So beautiful setting with the big German, as beautiful as
it can be by a campfire with him.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
Yes, Tod, has he become your main man now? Because
we're all going.
Speaker 7 (28:32):

little bit of a hangover from my birthday partyast night,
but it's all good. Hey, DP, I just wanted to
ask you real quick with this new setup, technically, can
we now call you the bad Larry of the DP
(29:11):
show since you're contributing from a distance and that's number one,
number two now that you're more comfortable and up north
and away from the boys, meaning that you're probably a
little bit less stressed. Can we start talking about a
possible extension on the no credit for your timeline?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Joe, Joe, it's still December twenty fourth of twenty twenty seven.
Even though this is relaxing and it's a break from
the studio and being around Todd every day, this isn't
going to extend any Let me get through today and
then we'll figure out, if you know, maybe this is
the Hey, maybe I could do more shows from me,
(29:55):
but right now we're as scheduled. Peter in North Carolina. Hi, Peter,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (30:04):
Hey, Danny boy?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
How we doing great?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
It is?
Speaker 12 (30:07):
This is Peter griff and I wanted to call and
talk because Tommy Brady left and now I have Joshua
Patrick Allen. We're very excited about the Buffalo Bills this year.
No Stephan who what was his name? He went to Houston.
I think he's complaining to the quarterback. Already, Shut up, Meg,
I'm on the phone.
Speaker 14 (30:25):
Shut up, shut up.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Meg.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Hey.

How we doing DP?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Great?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Spectacular spectacular?
Speaker 5 (30:51):
I love it?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Six foot two, a solid two tag.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
All I gotta say is can we bring back.
Speaker 12 (30:59):
That thirty seconds of soccer from Setons?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Because I want to know this talk on Patino and
maybe I said that completely wrong.
Speaker 12 (31:06):
I a Tito fan.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I just wanted to bring back that thirty seconds of
soccer talk because the Premier Year is back.
Speaker 15 (31:12):
Baby, Let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All right, Josh, thank you. The United States men's team
has a new coach. Would you like to give us
a thirty second recap their series?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I don't even know if I need thirty seconds. It's
like the most one of the most massive upgrades in
sports you could possibly imagine. It's like going from uh
like me as your football coach to Bill Belichick. It's like,
holy crap, we just got This is an unbelievable upgrade.
The rumor was Jurgen Klop, although I think that was
really wishful thinking. And Mariitio Pochettino was probably the number
(31:46):
two on that list of the biggest hires we could
possibly get, and it isn't official official yet. I haven't
seen the press conference of him saying I can't wait
to work with Christian Polisic. But the rumor is is
that he's agreed to the job. So until I see
that press conference, I'm still remaining somewhat reserved. Okay, it's
a big it's a massive upgrade, though massive.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
All Right, we'll take a break. We got our play
of the day coming up top of the hour. The
Texas head coach Steve Serkesia will join us Albert Breers

Speaker 2 (32:40):
This is the play of the day. Check this out.
Speaker 14 (32:44):
And the pitch from Sonny Gray. Oh, Tony Hammers want
to write this ball is deep, there's both gone. It's
in the cardinal boat.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Ben.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
Welcome back, my friends to the show that Never ends.
He's hit another one. It's his seventh home run this
week's National.

Shohyo tani thirty ninth home run. Only three players in
Dodgers history have hit more home runs than Otani through
the first one hundred and twenty five games Cody Bellinger
in twenty nineteen, Adrian Beltra and four, and Gary Sheffield
in two thousand. He's also on pace to become the
(33:49):
fifth player in baseball history to have led both the
National League and American League in home runs. You would
get one of these, maybe two. The other two I
had no idea who they were, Buck Freeman and Sam Crawford.
The other two you should get. One led the National
(34:12):
League and American League in home runs, Paulie Mark McGuire
bloop bloop, and the other one very underrated but now
got rated, became a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Oh, what's his name again, Jim Nick?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, Fred McGriff, the crime dog. Yes, Fred McGriff. What
if Otani goes fifty to fifty Now you said, what
thirty nine homers, thirty seven stolen bases. Nobody's done fifty
to fifty.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Yeah, po based off Otani's pace, they said, as of
this morning, he's on pace for fifty home runs and
forty eight steals. The closest alt to combining for fifty
to fifty. A rod in nineteen ninety eight had forty
two homers and forty six Doolen bases. So no one's
gone beyond that level.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And we didn't even know how much he was going
to play. The surgery in the off season. And by
the way, it was never Tommy John surgery, but you
got the feeling that it was. And then was it
a procedure. Here's something else I was thinking, and this
is going to sound random, At what point does somebody
come up with a surgery that is better than Tommy
(35:34):
John surgery, Like you have an elective surgery, and so
that person is going to be the name of the
new surgery, and then we don't call it Tommy John surgery,
like Aaron Rodgers with what happened with his achilles and
that doctor who also was the same one who operated
on show Ayotani. We could end up, you know, calling
(35:58):
the Achilles surgery after this doctor. But somebody might come
up with a better way to uh maybe you call
it the Tommy surgery or Aaron Rodgers' surgery. But Tommy John.
How long has Tommy John? You know the injury, the
surgery been called Tommy John surgery? Is this forty years?
(36:21):
Somebody's gonna come up with a better way and then
they're gonna knock Tommy John out of our vocabulary.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, Pauline, wouldn't you feel awful for Tommy John if
that were the case. He's got this one thing to
hang his hat on. Very good picture, right, very long, long,
good career.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Should he be in the Hall of Fame? If I
look at all of his numbers? What did he have?
Two hundred and eighty wins? Yeah, and he gave us
Tommy John surgery. Is that contributions to the game? Like
his left arm, he contributed because he had surgery and
then was able to come back.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
But you're saying, actually contribute the arm like when he
goes no Lead, No Lead. The arms of the Hall
of Fame, A nice display, bubble wrap it, whatever you
want to do, ship it.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I went to a bar in Ireland outside of Dublin
and there was an arm like the uh, the skeleton
of an arm of a former fighter and it was
on the wall and we were fascinated that this boxer.
I don't know if he donated this to the bar,
(37:26):
but there was a skeleton of his right arm and
we just fascinated.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You know, we just don't text a germy enough humans
these days. You know, it's a huge growth industry. It's
a hole. Somebody fills it.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah, wouldn't that be weird? You go into somebody's house
and go, what's that? Oh it's Tommy, Uncle Jim not
with us any Oh, well that's his right leg.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah. He'd a great field goal kicker and he loved
shaking hands. Look at him still giving given out handshakes.
Huh look at him?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
What was the bar called the hideout in Ireland with
the arm? Because I found that there's a famous boxer
named Dan Donnelly and he left his actual arm.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
Okay to this.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
There you go the gentleman named Jim Byrne who owned
a bar, and there was passed down both the pub
and the arm to his son, and it's still there.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Okay, all right, Dott, I guess I was sober enough
to remember that it actually did happen. But yeah, it's
weird you go in there. I was fascinating. We went
to the bar only to see this guy's arm. Yes, Todd,
but if you.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Learned there's some type of afterlife and now you're walking
around with one arm or one leg because you gave
something to a bar, seems kind of awful.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It does, but still, you know it's something that's historical
that you're gonna if you're gonna leave something for somebody.
Speaker 10 (38:44):
I'm ripping around, But that saloon has this really cool
thing over the fireplace of mine.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Okay, but we wouldn't be talking about this guy. Would
you rather that we didn't talk about you or we
talked about you? Because this guy left his arm. He
was a boxer.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
I just think you rolled the dice that it could
be an after life and you keep your body parts.
Speaker 10 (39:00):
I don't know, that's just me.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Do you think there's an afterlife?
Speaker 7 (39:05):
You maybe come back as a table though, or an
owl or I don't know, a table.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
That wouldn't be a very sturdy table. I'm not put
any any weight on that table. Okay, all right, Seaton
update the poll results from our one. Steve Serkesian, the
Texas head coach, will join us, coming up in about
fifteen minutes from now. All right, seven, what do you
got who's going to have a better season? Sam Donald
or Gardner Minshew right now? Yeah, but this is a
(39:36):
valid question because of these two teams, they're going to
be the starting quarterbacks. Yes, okay, so one audience, I
think they're going to take Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
They're taking Sam Donald by exactly zero point four percent
of the Okay, this is a fifty to fifty pole question. Uh,
thousands of votes in fifty to fifty Yeah. Yeah, Sports
Center is going to steal this one, guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Clearly. Let me see Morgan in Maryland, see if we
can squeeze you in. Hey Morgan, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 15 (40:11):
So I have worst of the weekend and best of
last weekend. Okay, worst of the weekend definitely Russell Wilson
and his lesson stellar preseason debut with the Steelers. I
don't think that what anyone was hoping for, especially not
the Steelers or their fans. It's just not pretty to watch.
And then best of last weekend. I was on my
(40:33):
way to New Hampshire and I was in your guy's
neck of the woods. I took a wrong exit and
I was kind of rolling around Milford seeing that, looking
in people's cars to see if I could see any
dan Patrick or Danett's rolling around to no avail. I
didn't see anybody, but I felt good just being it,
you know, in the shadow of the clubhouse in the
man cab.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Well, thank you Morgan for I think kind of creeping
around the man cake there. Yeah, we run vacation, so
coming up. We'll talk to Steve Serkesean Texas in the SEC.
Probably took a little time to get used to that
with thing we're in the SEC. Their second game of
(41:15):
the season is Michigan. I got Georgia on there. They
got you know, a couple of tough, tough games there.
But we'll talk to Steve. He'll join us
