Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh it's our one on this Wednesday, beautiful day in Maine.
Sun is out, getting towards flannel, getting towards football season.
Football coming up this weekend. Got some preseason games NFL
wise coming up. Went fishing yesterday, took the boat out.
The big german was on the boat. Caught a couple
(00:24):
of fish, and uh, you know, just settling into being
a manor. I did bring out the axe yesterday. I
was I was cautioned by my wife that don't get
injured and lose, you know, an appendage. And I said, okay,
well that's a good piece of advice. So I had
the axe. I was going to split some wood, because
(00:45):
that's what we do up here, us maners. And I
decided that I was not going to Christen Seaton's axe
that he gave me. Not yet. Okay, no, no, no, I'm
just I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna have this on video.
We're gonna have this film. You're going to see me
as a manor out there. Went to dinner last night.
(01:07):
I sent Paulie a picture of the menu. Had all
kinds of beers, had bangers in mash It had French
onion soup, It had every food group that Paulie loves
so much. And I thought, you know what, I'm with
the big german. Sitting at the bar. I ran into
a woman who her parents moved to Alaska to be
(01:28):
part of the Iditarod that they were racing, you know,
sled dogs. So she grew up in Alaska, ended up
back in Maine. And you know, so just me socializing
with people, getting to know the locals and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, paul Well, what's a hierarchy of toughest states in America?
Alaska seems like the one seed, and then maybe Maine,
Northern Minnesota, North Dakota's got to be in there during winter,
like harshest states for weather. And just like oh, if
you say I'm from uh, you know ver, Oh, okay,
you're an outdoorsman here, But then you say you're the
(02:02):
main it's like a step more.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And then Alaska is like Emeritus. How about manliest state?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Manliest Oh we had to take alask off the board.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I think, yes, yeah, Montana might have something to say
with it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, No, there's a lot of the
rich people from La moved up to Montana. Oh you
think that tough? That tough, Idaho very scenic. I don't
know if I would say that's the manliest, but I
would say Alaska is the number one seed, number one
overall seed, and then North Dakota is tough. I got
(02:45):
relatives who live in North Dakota. They send me pictures
all the time of the thermometer. That's all they send.
It'll be like, you know, thirty eight below. I'll go, okay,
all right, that's kind of early for August.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yes, Todd is manly and cold and isolationist, directly proportional.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yes, probably, yeah, yeah, but you better enjoy the outdoors
if you go to some of these states. In fact,
I was told that by a neighbor when I came
up here. I hope you enjoyed the cold. I go,
I don't know if I enjoy the cold. He goes, well,
I hope you enjoyed doing things in the cold. I go, well,
that's different. Yeah, yeah, because there's there's one thing to
(03:22):
look like. You're all bundled up and you got like
a big furry thing around your face, and you're like,
I'm getting through the snow versus looking crazy hot walking
through a desert with it like a shirt over your head.
This is what real man doing. Well, I think it's
a totally different thing of Yeah, would you rather be
(03:45):
too hot or too cold? We did that years ago, Yeah,
we did. Yeah, we did. By the way, I think
we had an over under on ben Affleck and jaw
and you know, I love love but she filed for divorce.
Do you remember what the over under was? Is it
a number of years?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, when they first got back together a couple of
years ago. Then I think it was announced that they
were married, and we were shocked. Of course, we led
with it. It was probably, you know, a week before
the Super Bowl. We led with it, of course.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
We had some type of bet whear the over under,
and it was somewhere in the two year range, and
we compared it to like, well, coach K still be
at Duke or something like that, which lasts longer Coach
K's last few years at Duke or.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We're going to go back and check, yeah, because I
know that it was high stakes that it had something
to do with either my retirement or when the college
football playoffs expand to twelve teams something like that, but
I'm I do love love and I'm I'm sorry to
hear that that they're they're splitting up. All righty, Welcome
to the program already in progress, as you can tell,
(04:48):
Aged seven seven to three DP Show operator Tyler sitting
by to take your calls, poll question, play the day,
stat of the day. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock,
Thank you for downloading the app. A little bit later on,
he has written a book on Aaron Rodgers. He and O'Connor,
who also wrote books on Bill Belichick, Derek Jeter, Arnold Palmer,
Jack Nicholas, and he will join us coming up a
(05:08):
little bit later on. Fastest Man in the World. Noah Lyles,
the gold medalist will join us coming up a little
bit later on as well. Now, I was thinking about
this when I was doing my prep work yesterday. Is
Noah Lyles still the fastest man in the world if
his time is not better than Yousain Bolt? Is you
(05:29):
saying Bolt technically the fastest man in the world. Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
See, I think that's the difference between fastest men in
the world and fastest man ever. You saying Bolt is
the fastest man ever? Noah Lyles is the fastest man
in the world right now, okay, all.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, yes, Paul, Yeah, I think Setan's got it right
because you've seen Bolt's got all time, but currently he
couldn't run with you. With Noah Liles, it's like being
the baddest man on the planet when you're the heavyweight
champion back in the day. Mike Tye is no longer
the baddest man in the planet, but he was at
one point. I don't know who the heavy champ is
now at that person we get that title or the
UFC champ.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, okay. Paul asked Noah Lyles, who is the fastest
man in the world, because maybe he will acknowledge Usain Bolt?
And when does Usain Bolt's record fall? How long will
that take? So he'll join us a little bit later on. Yes,
we ask about Tyreek Hill. PAULI had an interesting suggestion.
If you're going to have that race, you want to
have as many people tune in to it, and if
(06:29):
you have one hundred meter dash, it's going to lack
the interest. And we liken it too. When you had
Floyd Mayweather against Connor McGregor, if you would have said
first round is boxing. Second round is MMA. Now, now
you have something, and we pitched that. We thought, if
they're going to box, Connor McGregor has no chance. I
(06:50):
mean he has a chance because he's in the ring.
But if you said to Floyd Mayweather, you better knock
him out in the first round because when it gets
to the second round, now those gloves are smaller and
he can get you on the ground and then it's over.
That would have been awesome. That second round would have
been musty TV because I'm watching with Floyd Mayweather and
(07:11):
Floyd is a tactician, but that he's not exciting. He's
just a brilliant defensive fighter. And I'm like, I couldn't
care less. Now those guys all made, you know, one
hundred million dollars. I don't know why people bought it
because Floyd's not interesting and Connor would be interesting. If
you let him actually do MMA, then it would be great.
(07:33):
But let's say we had Noahlliles wear a football uniform
and they do sixty meters, So you have Tyreek Hill
in his football uniform. We get no Alliles is I
think he was going to go to the University of
Florida so he could wear Florida Gators football uniform or
(07:54):
they have to carry a football when they're racing. Maybe
just make it a little more interesting. But we'll talk
to Noah Lyles. Would he he has everything to lose.
I wouldn't race Tyreek Hill at sixty meters because even
if he wins, he's not going to win as much
as by as much as you think he should. But
I think we could do it. We could kind of
(08:16):
dress that up. Stat of the Day has always brought

whole question for Hour one is going to be one.
(08:38):
Let's see.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
We got a couple that we're going to put up here,
all right, better biography authorized, unauthorized.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Okay, I think there's a misconception with unauthorized, because Ian O'Connor,
who did the Aaron Rodgers unauthorized biography, did speak to
Aaron Rodgers. It's when you don't speak to some it
feels like you're going to get more of the truth
in an unauthorized even though we kind of look at
that word as being dirty or like cheap. Oh, they
(09:14):
didn't cooperate well. Sometimes if I asked Bill Belichick a question,
or I asked somebody who's known Bill Belichick, I'm probably
getting a better answer from somebody who knows Bill Belichick.
Now you have to decide what is fact and what
is fiction sometimes and sometimes people can misremember things. But
(09:35):
I think most of his have been unauthorized biographies, and
he interviewed over two hundred and fifty people for this.
I don't know if Aaron Rodgers told people not to cooperate.
I remember when the first ESPN book came out, was
that Mike Freeman who did it? Yep, And we were
told at the Mothership do not cooperate. And it was
(09:58):
weird because I kept thinking, what are we hiding? But
I was told by management, do not cooperate. I did
the eleven o'clock Sports Center and I was driving home
and Mike Freeman had left me. We had answering machines
back then at the Mothership, and he won't know if
I'd talked to him and I kind of knew Mike,
(10:18):
but not really, and I called him and I just thought,
you know what, if he's going to portray ESPN. And
there was nothing like salacious or nefarious, but he was
asking questions about Sports Center and certain people, and you know,
I told him, I said, I'm not supposed to be
cooperating with you, but I am curious, what is it?
(10:41):
What is the angle? Like, what is your book going
to be about? And it turned out that it was
I would say harmless, And even I forget I have
the book, but I haven't even looked at it in
a long long time. But I just know when you're
asking somebody to cooperate, and a lot of people do
it nowanymously, which I hate. I feel like if you
(11:03):
have an and Jim Miller did the history of ESPN, well,
everybody's on record, I think, except for two or three stories,
but it was everybody had their name attached to whatever
his question was or something that happened to ESPN. So
we'll talk to you O'Connor about the book with Aaron Rodgers.
He did sit down with Rogers for two hours and
(11:25):
spoke to over two hundred and fifty people. Yes, Tom what.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Makes something authorized unauthorized? It's just that you didn't participate.
Can you look at the book after the fact and say, yeah,
I'm fine with that, I'm going to authorize it. You
can say it's authorized or it's strictly whether you were
sitting down and giving quotes to the author.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
I'm not sure exactly how that worked.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Uh, Paulie would probably have a better You have a
definition of it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, from a writing definition.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
If it's an authorized biography, that would be Aaron Rodgers
participating with maybe even the planning of the book at
some level, helping get guests, helping get interviews.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Definitely, full cooperation, multiple interviews.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
It's like an interview to start, than a reactionary interview,
than an interview later. That's a full authorized biography with
the cooperation of the subject. Unauthorized would be where he
may give an interview, like Aaron Rodgers gave a two
hour interview. I'm sure he needed ten of those two
hour interviews to do this. So it's like partial cooperation.
No control of editing, no control of anything after the fact.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Would be But are you less likely to buy something
that's an unauthorized as opposed to a authorized biography.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Authorized feels like a memoir.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
I think.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I think if it's unauthorized, it feels more salacious. Or
you're like, well, there's some truth in here somewhere. I'm
just not where. I'm not sure where that line is,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But I'll ask you about it, because I'm sure that
he faces this where it's like it's unauthorized. Oh, you know,
Belichick didn't want to talk to you, But the fact
that Aaron did cooperate, I guess, for the lack of
a better word, game a two hour interview, But it
just feels like it's weird if somebody's going to do
a book on you and then they're going to talk
(13:07):
to all these other people that have been part of
your life and there's stuff in there about his relationship
or lack thereof, with his family when he misled the
media on being immunized. You know, there's a lot there,
and he still attracts a lot of spotlight here aside
from the Cowboys. The other NFL story is definitely Aaron Rodgers.
All right, we'll take a break. There's a few things
(13:29):
to talk about here. Brian Flores responds to to a
tongue of ilo as criticism and interesting debate about coaching,
coaching philosophy, and how different it is today as opposed
to fifteen, twenty thirty, forty years ago. We'll take a break.
We'll settle on a poll question. Just getting started on
this Wednesday, Dan and the Danu's Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think we settled on a pole question. Is it
going to be the manliest state? Are we gonna do
that seat and start off first hour, and with that.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
I think we start with the manlyest state.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah. This is gonna be just a bit, it'll be controversial.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah yeah, and it's very much got a cold weather bias.
I'm gonna guess that one that you can already imagine.
Texas is just up in all the hell you're taking
the last off the boarding. You're not taking Texas off.
You know, we started manliness, damn it.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, Texas invented manliness. Yeah, you're damn right, we invented manliness.
Google it, Okay, all right, Uh, maybe we google that
just to be sure.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Yes, Marvin, I think Pennsylvania is gonna have an issue too,
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Well, steel work, I mean steers, yeah, okay, steel workers.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Okay, don't sleep on Pennsylvania chocolate.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
How tough could that be that?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Sorry, go ahead, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
I'm not from Pennsylvania. I'm not offended. You take that
up with the people of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Okay, Uh, give us give us the list there of
manly estates, he said, Connecticut, he said, Connecticut. It's funny.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
For some reason in Pennsylvania really struck me as areas.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Hey, Pennsylvania is gonna have a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, once you said steel workers, then I go, okay,
all right, I might include them, yes, Todd.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
If we really want to upset people, what's the least
manly state? Is it? Virginia is for lovers or something else.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
That'll be that'll be tomorrow, tomorrow, spool question. Whatever state
you live in, it very well could be Connecticut, very
well could Yeah, all.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Right, Yeah, let's see Maine. This is submitted by Paul Maine,
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, other. Okay, I feel like Arizona
right now is turning the channel.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Alaska is off the board. Alaska's off the board.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Alaska is like the is the wildest state, so that
in turn makes it more manly.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, right, and then you throw in the weather there
as well. Yeah yes, PAULI.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
You know, Dan, you lived in Arizona. I lived in Arizona.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
It's very hot out there. You can just walk inside.
It's easy to avoid. You can just turn your car on.
Like if you live in Wyoming in the winter, I
know there's heat inside and you got coats. But I
think lack of infrastructure of a state would be part
of this, Like where it's like they don't have as
many conveniences, they don't have as many people are more outdoorsy.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Okay, So that's the pole question for hour one eight
seven seven three DP show. We'll get to your phone
calls coming up. Play of the days coming up as well.
We'll talk to the author of the Aaron Rodgers, the
unauthorized biography, Ian O'Connor, and the fastest man in the World,
Noah Lyles. A little bit later on. Brian Flora is
former Dolphins head coach who's now an assistant coach with
(17:53):
the Vikings. He responded to criticism from Tua Tongue of Ioloa. Now,
let me give you Tua's comments. That's started this because
Brian Flores used to be his coach, and Tua spoke
with Dan Levittard.
Speaker 11 (18:07):
To put it in simplest terms, if you woke up
every morning and I told you you suck at what
you did, that you don't belong doing what you do,
that you shouldn't be here, that this guy should be here,
that you haven't earned this right, and then you have
(18:27):
somebody else come in and tell you, dude, you are
the best fit for this, like you are accurate you
are the best whatever you are, this you are that, Like,
how would it make you feel listening to one or
the other? You see what I'm saying, and then you
hear it. You hear it regardless of what it is,
the good or the bad, and you hear it more
(18:48):
and more you start to actually believe that.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It almost felt like he wanted to say this. He
wanted somebody to ask him about this. He wanted to
get it off his chest that he had been holding
on too. So Mike McDaniel comes in and he'll put
his arm around you. Brian Flores is not that type
of coach. So Brian Flores then met with the media
and he had an opening statement on tua tongue of
(19:13):
Ioloa's comments, you know, specific.
Speaker 12 (19:16):
To you know, the comments that were made by Tua.
I just want to say, look, I'm genuinely happy for
the success that Too has had and I really wish.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Him nothing but the best.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
And you know, I think, you know, player relationships are
very important to me. They I think that's kind of
the foundation of coaching. And I got into coaching because
you know, I was impacted as a as a as
a young guy by my high school coach, and my
college coach and my going allway to Pop Warner. I
got into coaching because you know, I want to make
that same kind of impact. You know, that's really my
(19:49):
goal always in coaching.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, that can be your goal, but you failed in
your goal. With to a tongue of iola, he was
then asked about being a bad person a word to use.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
Where's terrible person? I'm just curious how that can get
you yourself a great name.
Speaker 12 (20:06):
I'm human, So you know that hit me in a
way that you know wasn't I wouldn't say it was
positive for me. But at the same time, I you know,
I've got to use that and say, hey, how can
I how can I grow from that? You know, how
can I be better? That's really where I'm at from
from that standpoint.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Do I feel like, you know that's me?
Speaker 13 (20:25):
No?
Speaker 12 (20:27):
But you know, how can I grow from that situation
and create a create a world where that's not the
case that anyone says that about about Brian Fluess.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, I mean he's kind of moving on deflecting a
little bit, uh talking about his coaching philosophy. Didn't he
sue the Miami Dolphins? Did he sue the NFL as well,
Like there's a lot going on here with Brian Flores.
The league doesn't like when you have people speaking out
of school. We like it. It's content, but it doesn't
(20:58):
happen very often where somebody is ripping. You know, a
former coach, coach talking about a former player. The NFL,
you know they're coaching fraternity. They usually don't go outside
of the pocket here, but this time to A definitely
wanted people to know, Hey, I had to deal with
this every day, and now I got a new contract,
(21:20):
I got a new coach. There's a new life to
my career. I got two of the fastest players in
the NFL, and this is going to be a great
season for me, and I think if you're looking at
and it should be because I think our big concern
was could he stay healthy? First of all? And it
still is first and foremost is he going to stay healthy?
(21:41):
That offense they are going to put up numbers guaranteed.
The question is are they going to put up numbers
when it comes to December and maybe January? That's all.
There's certain teams that like the Baltimore Ravens, I don't
care about the regular season. Tell me how they do
in the postseason. Chargers, I don't care about the regular season.
Tell me when you get to the postseason. Cowboys, I
(22:03):
don't care about the regular season. What do you do
in the postseason. The Miami Dolphins are now in that group.
I don't care what happens during the regular season. I
want to know what do you do if you don't
have a number one seed or number two seed and
you have to go on the road. That's when I
want to see what Tua Tongue of Iloa can do,
and Mike McDaniel can do, and that offense can do.
(22:25):
But until then, they'll probably put up great numbers. They'll
probably have a couple of games where they score fifty points.
Didn't they put up sixty last year? Yeah, so they're
going to put up numbers. But the question is when
do you put up those numbers? Because there's a lot
of great regular season teams, a lot of great regular
season coaches, a lot of great regular season quarterbacks. We
(22:49):
remember you because what you do in December and January
and February, and this is the number two offense, they
should be great. And I think Mike McDaniel has put
him in a position mentally and physically to be great,
and I would be surprised if he doesn't put up.
I think he'll be in the conversation for MVP because
(23:11):
they're going to put up big numbers. You know, Joe
Burrow is going to be up there as well. Aaron
Rodgers will probably be there as well. Josh Allen's usually
thrown in there. The most valuable player in the NFL
until further noticed is Patrick Mahomes. All right, we'll get
phone calls coming up. By the way, I saw where
now I was actually thinking about watching this game. Delaware
(23:34):
State is supposed to play Hawaii coming up this weekend. Well,
there was a problem. They are set to open the
season in Hawaii this weekend. The team was scheduled to
make a ten and a half hour flight to Oahu.
They missed the flight. They were scheduled to fly out
of New York City, but they missed the cross country
(23:56):
flight due to an issue with buses. So they're working
on a play to get out there to play this game.
I mean, you've got to get acclimated to a lot
of things when you're out there. But the Delaware State
Hornets and the Rainbow Warriors are scheduled to play Saturday
at six pm Local, that's twelve am Eastern. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Last we heard about the Delaware State squad is that
they were at a hotel near the airport. If you'd like,
the ITEAM can jump on this one. Find out what's
going on. Well Frog the full force of the ITEAM
Delaware State. Kwahi, that's good football.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Okay. Lloyd in Tampa, Good morning, Lloyd. What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 14 (24:37):
Good morning Dan and crew. I uh calling from Tampa,
but I grew up in Wisconsin, and I got it. Say,
you've got to put Wisconsin in there as the manliest
state because not only do you have to survive the winners,
but the most offensive and defensive lineman in the NFL
are from the University of Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Okay, I guess now we're factoring in what kind of
athlete you produce here the manly estate Wisconsin.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
It's a fair qualification. It's fair.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'm hearing from a lot of people from Southern states,
by the way, who are very upset.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, this is not going to go well. No, you know,
we're gonna get reiancit We're going to get thought out now, well, yeah,
what is thought out on this show? The number of
times where we go, you know what I'm thinking, and
then we're thinking in the moment instead of you know what,
let me do a little deep dive, little research on
this before I put it out there in front of
(25:37):
millions of people. All Right, So we got Ian O'Connor
next hour, the unauthorized biography of Aaron Rodgers. It does
sound dirty when you say that, like, hey, I'm going
to do this and don't tell anybody about this, But
the fact that Rogers did cooperate, so we'll talk to
him and Noah Lyles as well. The NBA season will
tip off Nick's Celtics October twenty second. I don't know
(26:01):
how good the Knicks are, but I know that they're
really relevant. And you know, it's like the Cleveland Guardians,
they're really good this year, they're just not relevant. You
don't Milwaukee Brewers. They're really good this year, they're just
not talked about, not relevant. And that's what that's no
man's land for your team with sports. If nobody's talking
(26:23):
about them that you know, give me an interesting team
that may not be a you know, a really good team,
but They're interesting. That's what we want now. Sometimes you
can have relevant teams and they're not good. You know,
the Clippers became relevant because we kept waiting for them
to be good and we realized that it was never
going to happen. Golden State, even when they didn't play well,
(26:44):
they were still relevant. Certain team Lebron is always going
to be relevant, even though the Lakers are, you know,
a middle of the pack team. You want to be relevant.
And the Knicks are relevant after what happened. You know,
Jalen Brunson with what he did with his contract, I
think he just became a ad here recently. But they
open up with the Celtics, the defending champs. That'll be
(27:05):
October twenty second NFL preseason Final week, two games on
Thursday and then all weekend long and then we get
ready to start for keeps. Here play for keeps. And
I don't know if the odds have changed at all.
I do have odds here for to win the NFL
Comeback Player of the Year, and as you might guess,
(27:26):
Aaron Rodgers is your overwhelming favorite, followed by okay, let's
go around the room. Second best odds to win the
NFL comeback Player of the year, Todd, start with you, Ah, I'm.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Going to say st Brice Young stalling?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Bryce Young is do much better this year?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
What is he coming back from.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
From having a horrible start to his career.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I think you have to be injured, have to it helps? Yeah,
I don't think your feeling feelings being hurt it helped improved? Yes, yeah,
that's true.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yes, set So say then if you have to be
injured a fellow like Sam Darnold, if he bawled this year,
he wouldn't be a comeback Player of the year.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I think most improved?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Oh, most improved is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah? The most improved player of the year? Is that
a real Yeah? Yeah, I think yes, PAULI, I'm gonna
go with but wait a minute. Didn't Joe Flacco win
Comeback Player of the Year and all he did is
come back from his couch to play in the NFL?
Damar Hamlin came back from death?
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Still, yeah, that was a sure thing that Damar Hamlin.
Bet Yes, yes, I would have thought. Guaranteed can't go wrong.
So I guess you can come back from not playing
or not playing well.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Like if you're Joe, your career, career was in worse
shaped in the guy's heart stopped.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
That's an insult.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I just don't know how you accept that award and
do it with like thank you, I did it. This
is I came back from being on my couch. Damar
Hamlin came back from death. I think he died a
couple of times. What's the guy gotta do to win
Comeback Player of the Year. Here's only one other person
(29:28):
who's done that where they come back from being dead. Tomorrow,
Hamlin not comeback Player of the Year. Joe Burrow is
second on the list. Comeback Player of the Year. Joseph
Kirk finallys Kirk d Cousins is the third on the list,
and then the Colts Anthony Richardson. So that's according to DraftKings,
(29:52):
that's the comeback player of the year. Ryan in Indiana, Hi, Ryan,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (30:02):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (30:02):
Dan?
Speaker 15 (30:03):
Five eleven, two fifteen. Hey, we were talking baseball yesterday
morning about pitchers going having to go six innings or
one hundred pitches. I just looked at some stats last night.
How many of the eight hundred and forty Major leaguers
are hitting two seventy and above.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Do you think, Oh, I don't know the percentage, but
I would say it's probably at an all time low.
Is it five percent of major league baseball?
Speaker 15 (30:37):
Yeah, thirty five players are hitting two seventy and above
and all the major leagues, and only nine are hitting
over three hundred.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
It just doesn't matter anymore. It did for us and Ryan,
I'm good against that. You're probably over fifty years of age.
That it was, you know, a badge of courage that hey,
I want to maintain a three hundred batting average, and
it just doesn't matter anymore. Used to be who won
the batting title was a big deal. Just not anymore.
(31:07):
Did you see, we're gonna take a break, got our
play the day coming up? But there was a picture
who threw one oh five? Used to be, when you
threw a hundred, you'd lead Sports Center with that. Now
it's like, okay, wait too, he has Tommy John surgery.
But now we're getting up when you go to one
oh five and you do it multiple times, and it's
(31:30):
always a closer because a starter has no reason to
dial it up to that kind of velocity. But these
closers now it just feels like as fast as you
can for as long as you can. We'll talk about
that coming up. Also, I was sworn to secrecy, but
now that Adam Sandler has said it, I'm able to
say it as well. I'll have that information for you
(31:51):
about Happy Gilmore two right after this.

There was a game last night. Ben Joyce threw over well,
it was one hundred and five miles per hour and
(33:15):
came in and he struck out Bobby Witt Junior, the
third on three pitches. So the Angels beat the Royals
and Ben Joyce the only pitcher since two thousand and
nine to strike out a batter on three pitches all
one hundred and three miles per hour or faster to
end a game. He's done that twice this year where
he struck out somebody on three pitches, all three pitches
(33:39):
over one hundred three miles per hour used to be,
and he threw one oh five. It used to be
if you got I remember Nolan Ryan was in the
ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven miles per hour. But
you know, the jugs gun back then, radar guns, you know,
they kind of vary. Sometimes you'll have teams who will
up the miles per hour in the stadium because it'll
(34:02):
show on the scoreboard. Every pitch will be up there,
and you'll see how fast somebody throws. I had Paully
go back to watch Major League. You know, the assignments
I give the dan Ets are really challenging, and I said,
go back and watch the movie. The end of Major League,
How fans was Ricky wild Thing Vaughn throwing because his
(34:23):
number was ninety nine? Charlie Sheen's number was ninety nine?
Did he throw ninety nine on the jugs gun? Back?
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Then it's a long drawn out scene.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
He's facing the Yankees Klue Heywood, who was a monster hitter,
and Ricky Vaughn comes in the game.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
They're doing the wild Thing. They're going crazy. It's at
the end of the movie.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
By the way, the movie is from nineteen eighty nine.
His first pitch was ninety seven, and they keep cutting
away to the radar gun. His second pitch is ninety nine.
They cut away and his last pitch whoa one oh one,
and the place goes absolutely berserk, And it's like a fable,
like no one actually does that.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
This guy's throwing one oh one.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
That was nineteen eighty nine, thirty fifth anniversary of the
movie Major League. This was this. I don't know if
that's how it sounds that's exactly how it sounded.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
That sounds like there's a rocket launching, it hits the glove.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
They made them. They made that movie for eleven million dollars.
It has earned seventy five million dollars. But this marked
the film debut of actress Renee Russo. Very underrated, underrated
(35:34):
Renee Russo, Tin cup, Thomas Crown Affair, Major league gets
shorty yep, oh, lethal weapon, Yeah, Renee Russo. Round of
applause for Renee Russo. Yeah, good stuff. All right. I
was sworn to secrecy and by Sandler in his camp,
I wasn't allowed to tell who was going to be
(35:55):
in Happy Gilmore Too. And you know, Sandman's like, Danny,
can't tell anybody, I can't say anything on your show,
and I go, okay, I'm not going to say anything.
Sandman was on with Jimmy Fallon last night and announced
that Travis Kelce is going to be in Happy Gilmore Too.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Now, I don't know if his brother is going to
be in it. I don't know if Taylor Swift is
going to be in it, but Travis Kelce is going
to have a role and there's going to be some
PGA tour players, because you know, obviously we're on a
golf course there, and I think I start shooting in
a couple of weeks. They start shooting in September, and
then I think I'm going to be shooting something in
(36:35):
the man Cave. But still waiting for I don't even
have the script yet. Sandler just says, Danny got some
funny lines for you, and that's kind of it. So
it's a little bit cryptic. But I don't have the
official script yet. Robert in Colorado, and then I'll need
a poll update on the Manly estate in America.
Speaker 13 (36:56):
Hey Robert, Hey, good morning, mister TWI. I was listening
to your take on the Delaware State football team going
to Hawaii, and I heard last night that there's a
possibility that there might be a hurricane going to Hawaii
as well over the weekend, So you might want to,
(37:19):
I don't know, get the I team check it out.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (37:23):
That kind of throws the wrench into the hole. Missing
the flight and now trying to play catch up and
then now having to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Okay, thank you, Robert. Maybe we can get Jim Canty
on from the Weather Channel. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
By the way, that hurricane is Delaware State football. That's
what's coming to town. The Hornets eat that natural disaster.
Can you find out what what the point spread?
Speaker 13 (37:49):
Is?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Of course I can't.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I mean you hear me. Uh.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
We have an email into the Delaware State.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Athletic Department to see where the team is currently at
and we'll get that line for you.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Okay. Ben Joyce has four of the six fastest pitches
thrown this season. Eraaled As Chapman has the fastest, and
then it's Ben Joyce, Ben Joyce, Eraldest Chapman, Ben Joyce,
Ben Joyce. Yeah, when you're throwing one hundred and five
miles an hour, but it's almost like now it's we
(38:23):
just go, oh okay, like we I don't know at
what point does somebody throw one hundred ten miles an
hour at some point? And it's always going to be
a closer because you're just going in there throw as
fast as you can for as long as you can.
I'd be curious, Well, you know, Paul's schemes is probably
(38:44):
you know, he consistently throws over a hundred I'm curious,
you know, starting pitchers, how many guys throw over one
hundred miles an hour. But these closers and eroaled As Chapman,
I mean, that's sick to be able to throw as
fast as he does. And I think he's in his
mid thirties now. Is a Roles Chapman like thirty six? Yeah, Paul,
(39:05):
he has thirty six. Paul Skeins is the only pitcher
starting pitcher in the list of most pitches one hundred
miles an hour or more. This season, He's got seventeen
pitches of at least one hundred miles an hour. Yeah,
I just don't know, get do we care about it?
And have we gotten to the point with velocity sort
of where we were with home runs, Like you're just like, okay,
(39:26):
another home run or somebody is throwing that fast, and
now if you throw ninety five, it's like, uh, well
you better pick it up. Is that your off speed pitch?
Is everybody's trying to throw that hard that fast? And
I always go back to Greg Maddox or Tom Glavin.
Now Maddis threw hard when he first came up. But
(39:46):
what kind of pictures would they be? Would they have
had the sustainability to win three hundred games? I guess
there's a documentary coming out on Greg Maddox. You know
that'll be You know why that'll be good if his
former teammates actually tell stories about Greg Maddox, because Maddix
won't be a great interview as much as his teammates
telling stories, because there are a lot of fun stories.
(40:09):
What a prankster, as the kids like to say, All right,
do you have the Delaware State Hawaii betting line? Pauline?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Yeah, that game is at midnight Eastern on Saturday, by
the way, and I cannot find a network for it.
I'm really looking Delaware State at Hawaii. Delaware State was
one to ten last year, but don't let that record
fool you.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
They were better than that.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
And they're getting thirty eight and a half against Hawaii,
which is a solid program.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
That insult And did they they were the Rainbow Warriors always?
Weren't they the Bows for such a long period of time?
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Yeah, and the name changed a while back, checking.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Did they add the Warriors? I should know this. Don't
want to offend anybody more than we have in the
first hour with the manleya State seton. Would you tell
us who is leading the Manley estate question?
Speaker 8 (41:00):
Oh, I'm sorry, that's gonna have to wait till hour two.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Dan, I'm sorry to this audience Maine, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Arizona.
We've thrown in there to get goodness them to stop
complaining so much.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
That is a tease. He wrote the book on Aaron Rodgers,
Ian O'Connor will stop by and Noah Lyles in an
hour from now, the fastest man in the world. Our
two on the way
