on our good buddy Ross Tucker from Westwood one CBS
Sports stops by as well. Say good morning. If you're

watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app, and
we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Show,
Hey Otani did it again last night, So that's five
consecutive games. And I asked Paulie, I said, I'm curious
the percentage of home runs to hits that he has,
Like how many how often does he hit a home run?
(01:33):
And how many of you know, percentage wise of the
hits he's had. So O'tani has one hundred and six hits.
They are one hundred and eight hits and thirty seven
home runs, so thirty four percent of all of his
hits are home runs. Now, I thought Kyle Schwarber would
lead baseball in that category. He's just a little bit above.
(01:55):
Show hey Otani, thirty six percent of Kyle Schwarber's hit
our home runs. He has ninety four hits. He has
thirty four home runs. The Big Dumper. The Big Dumper
is number one. He has over forty one percent of
his hits are home runs, ninety four hits, thirty nine
home runs. Eugenio Suarez of the Diamondbacks almost thirty nine
(02:21):
percent of his hits. Aaron Judge is also in there
as well, twenty almost twenty nine percent of his hits
are home runs. So feast Or famine for a few
of these guys. And early in the season. What was
early in the season Otani was batting three fifty Aaron Judge.
Aaron Judge's batting average is still pretty good, but I
(02:41):
think Otani's down around two seventy to seventy five, whereas
Aaron Judge is still over three hundred. But I do
like what the Dodgers are doing with Otani, and that
is you can ease him back in. If he was
just a pitcher, the strategy would be different. But what
they're doing is pitch a couple innings. Maybe they have
a pitch count. But this is all about the postseason.
(03:05):
Get to the postseason, and then how are you going
to use him? Are you going to use him maybe
certain situations as a closer, are you going to use
him as a starter. It's tricky when you're going to
try to plan to put him in a game as
a closer, because you know where's he going to warm up,
How's he going to warm up? What if he doesn't
get in the game. You know, relievers, closers will tell
(03:27):
you they get up and down. You know that they're
loosening up many many times. You know a closer could
get up fifty times and not get into the game
during a regular season, So you can't have that for Otani.
That's why I think in some baseball guys have said, hey,
it'd be great to bring him in as a closer.
(03:48):
It just doesn't line up that way because he's going
to be, you know, probably in the field, unless you
know he's a DH and then you can say, all right,
go out and warm up while you're a DA, then
it would work that way. But I like what he's doing.
I like what they're doing, and that is this is
all about the postseason. But he has six He has
(04:11):
six hits in his last five games, and five of
the six hits are home runs.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
If Day stan Day, Statuta Day, Stantata Day.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
This is the stant of the Day Scat of the Day,
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. Well, if you're showing up
to see Otani Homer, you're getting your wish. He doesn't
do much else, doesn't need to just hitting home runs.
All right, pull question today, Seaton, what are we going
(04:46):
to go with?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Just saying shout out to j Lo and Rose Burn
also share a birthday with them?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh great? Roseburn okay, all right? Barry Bonds not same month,
same day, same year, but okay, kind of lumped in
there together. Better career Bonds, j Loo or Rosy Oh man,
that old question. Would you rather have Jlo's career or
Barry Bond's career?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Jlo's is not tainted by anything. She's successful dancer, singer, actress.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Okay, right, she's multi chalented with the whole acting, singing
and everything else. Gary Bones just hits cheating, hold on
sing She's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
A very successful singer.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I feel like Jaylo's got some diddy stuff she needs
to take care of.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I mean, other than that, it's not really all
that tainted and other people singing her songs, by the way, but.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Very successful though, Seaton, Who would you take Barry Bond's career? Jalen,
you know what I'm taking my career. I'm going off
the board.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Board. Well, it is your birthday and you go off
the board Marvin j Loo or Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Okay, Paulie, I think this is clear no pun intended.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That you're gonna cream the competition. Uh, Jlo?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Why is she going wired to why she got like
a forty year media career.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, she's an entertainer. You see her out and abound.
You don't see much of Bonds anymore unless it's a
Giant's game or spring training. So no one else is
doing this fall questions they are No, No, they're not.
They're not. If they are, then they're they're sampling from
our show. Yes see, you get to act, you get
to sing, you can dance. Yeah, I got to maintain that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Look good and closed. Let's right, let's roll with all
those things.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, yeah, yes, Marvin, what does Jlo have a statue?
She u is a statue statue?
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Asked?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Meanwhile, so with any question today,
here's one from all your policy on rookie quarterbacks, start
them or sit them? Okay, So Will Levis is going
to be out this entire season with Carolina or no
(07:15):
Tennessee same thing, but he's gonna have shoulder surgery and
that means cam Ward has to start, or at least
he's projected to start. So if you're in the camp
of I don't want my rookie quarterbacks to start, well,
tough luck. Given what Tennessee has, I think they have.
(07:35):
Wasn't it Aaron Rodgers, good buddy Tim Boyle? Who was
he was on the Jets roster. Yes, I don't know
if he can play, but he's a backup quarterback. And
I think they have in the kid out of Texas
A and m Allen last names? Oh was he from Arkansas?
Kyle brand Aw Kyle Allen? He could have been at both? Okay, yeah,
(08:03):
not quite sure.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Yes, So I guess the question here is the past
five years, the Tennessee Titans have not done well with
the quarterback position. You know, Malik Willis did not work out.
No offense doesn't appear that will Levis is working out.
You draft cam Ward, who you know, played at a
bunch of schools, got a lot of reps in college.
But now you have to start him week one or
it feels like you have to start a week one.
(08:24):
Is that what you want to do if you're a
below average franchise with a developmental quarterback.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I don't like it. I would like for him to
just watch the game from the sidelines, understand how this
starter prepares for a game. All of those things. It's
just different than college. The speed is different, terminology is different,
the athletes are different. I think, observe a game or
two or three, you're not going to win your division,
(08:51):
And now he does. He's got Tyler Lockett and he's
got Calvin Ridley, so he's got some guys that he
can throw the ball to. But I would like to
eat him in on a bad team. You know, the
NFL is littered with quarterbacks who played for bad teams
and picked up bad habits. You know, I thought Tim
(09:11):
Couch went to the Cleveland Browns, and I thought, you know,
at the time, that was maybe a prototypical NFL quarterback
and he didn't have a successful career. If he went
to another team, maybe an established coach or offense or
some other players, then maybe. But I just think I
go back. You know, when you're seeing quarterbacks and they
(09:33):
go to a bad team, you're going to a bad
team for a reason. They don't have a good quarterback.
And now you're asked to be a savior.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, Paulin, you mentioned something yesterday that it often doesn't
work out one of those quarterbacks who has like fifteen
career starts and then gets the reins of a team.
Cam Ward had thirty eight starts in his college career
thirteen at Miami and then another you know, twenty five
at Washington State. That's that's pretty good. But if you
go back to Jayden Daniel, Jayden Daniels played five years
(10:02):
of college football. He had fifty five major college starts
before joining the Commanders, that's invaluable.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, well, scouncel will tell you the sample size they
like is around twenty five to thirty starts. Then they
get a better sense of, you know, what you do,
what you don't do, what you can improve upon, sort
of what you're going to be saddled with that this
is who you are. You know, maybe there's some things
you can improve upon, but they like to have a
(10:29):
little bit larger sample size. And I think that's why,
you know, when we look back on Trey Lance, what
did he have twelve starts in his career? It just
you got to have more seasoning than that. And we've
seen a couple of these quarterbacks who have flamed out
when they've only been really good. You know, Zach Wilson, Okay,
(10:50):
maybe there's still a chance, but he didn't start that
many games either.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yeah, Paul, And this is kind of the end of
that COVID bonus year era where quarterbacks are going to
have fifty plus college stars. Bow Knicks, I don't think
a lot of people thought he'd be this he would
be this good as a rookie. But bo Nick started
sixty one games in college, you know, three years in
the SEC, two years at Oregon, sixty one college games.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He was ready to go.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
He's like twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And I like that he was with two big time programs.
He was playing in big games. You're playing in the SEC,
and you're playing in the PAC twelve, and then you
go to the quarterback whisper. By the way, bo Nicks
spent four or five days or five or six days
with Drew Brees this summer. So Sean Payton put those
two together, and I think his development was one of
(11:38):
the more surprising things that we saw last year because
I don't know if people now Sean wanted bow Knicks,
and I think that there were scouts who liked bow
Knicks better than the other quarterbacks. But you know, Sean
Payton got who he wanted. And I think for a
team that we thought was on the rise made the
playoffs last year, I don't know if we give enough
(11:59):
credit to bow Nick usually what happens will be like
Sean Payton did it again. Well, he can tell you
what to do, you still have to go do it.
And I think bo Nicks surprised a lot of people
with what he did. Yeah, pulling and bo Nicks.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Was not a hot property coming out of the draft.
He didn't talk about him as a top five guy.
His last year of college at Oregon in twenty twenty three,
forty five hundred yards, seventy eight percent passer, forty five
touchdowns and only three picks.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, East, Yeah, that's big time alrighty any other pole
questions Seaton, Yes, you know, I think cam Woard too.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
He's got a couple of dudes that throw to I
think they upgraded the offensive line a little bit. He's
stepping into maybe not the worst situation to start out early, right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Maybe, uh yeah, I mean it might be a Bryce
Young situation where if all goes well, I mean, there's
still probably going to be one of the worst teams.
So maybe you get five wins, six win something like that.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
But that he he gets the benefit of no expectations now,
maybe because he he wasn't the number one starter going
right in he was supposed to sit behind somebody who, uh,
you know, has to have surgery. So now he's getting
bumped up, he gets he gets a little bit of
like a a six week Hall pass there, right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But he's still the number one pick in the draft. Yeah,
so the X there are expectations there. Like Caleb Williams,
there are expectations like, uh, you know, when Jade Daniels
didn't have the expectations.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Second, Caleb Williams had the expectations even way before he
was drafted. He's been born for this moment. He had
these expectations when he was in seventh grade.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Paul, I think one of the worst situations is obvious
when Bryschong came to Carolina and they traded DJ Moore.
So he goes in with a bad line, no skill
position players, and it's almost like Brys Young gets a
little bit of a Hall pass for that rookie year.
And Brys Young the last seven eight games last year
was pretty good. His stats last year don't impress anybody,
but if you look at the back half of the season,
(14:04):
Bryce shawng is kind of on that recovery tract.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, they had the Kansas City Chiefs on the ropes
and you know, we normally weren't tuning in to watch
the Panthers, but that was a game that nationally we
watched and they almost pulled off the upset. All right,

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Slip in a couple of phone calls here first down
or age seven to seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your calls. Ashley in Reno
leads his song Good morning, Ashley, Good morning, How are
you spectacular? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (16:09):
I'm well, first off, I'm part of the Converted Wise club.
My husband got me into you. And last night I
had a dream about Fritzy. It was so real. You're
not so angry at him. You just said we're done.
I'm quitting before retirement.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I got up.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
I looked at my husband this morning and I said,
did Dan quit? That? I have nothing to listen to?
And on top of it, it says forty his birthday
and I completely perhaps wish him a happy birthday before
he went to work. So if you guys could help
me out and wish Kevin a happy birthday, I would
appreciate it as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Sorry off yourself. Thank you.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
All right, I'm not quitting you yet. I'm not quitting you,
even though Todd has driven me to the brink.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I'm not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No, I'm not Zack and Charlotte, Hi, Zach, what's on
your mind today? Fifty?
Speaker 11 (17:09):
So I work for a game show company called Game
Show battle Rooms as a host, and I can tell
you that a third of the parties that come through,
whoever loses the survey portion of the show, they will
say it's rigged, we cheated, we want the other team
to win, when all I can tell you is that
we want everybody to have fun and make sure that
(17:31):
it's good competition.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Okay, so you side with us with the rich eyes
in family feud controversy.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Exactly as far as I'm concerned, they're just kind of
sore losers.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
At this point. Okay, all right, well thank you, Zach.
They apologize. Rich Eisen walked it back a little bit,
well a lot. He said that he was given bad
information by his staff. I think the staff is the
problem for rich Eyesen, but he's taking them with him
to ESPN. Zack and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
ADP? Thanks for taking my call. Uh just calling to
wish Seating a happy birthday. And before I left out
for work this morning, I forgot to wish my dog
Shu Dynasty aka Shady a happy sixth birthday. I leave
it on peacock for the pups at the house. So
could y'all please give Shady a happy sixth birthday?
Speaker 12 (18:25):
Shout out and mean way.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
We'll we'll do that. Zach, have birthday to a dog
far far birthday. How do you get that?
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
He's keeping the TV on? So come here, Shady, come here,
good girl. You like peanut butter. You want some peanut butter.
You want some peanut butter. Good, let's get some peanut butter.
If there's a dog that's barking on TV, my dog
goes crazy crazy. You know. There there's that channel that
(18:59):
you can leave on on for your pets and they
can watch really yeah, the dog channel, Yeah, dog TV
or something. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
It'll be forty five minutes of just somebody throwing a
tennis ball in the backyard and my dogs are like,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I can't leave it on because my dog wants to
go into the TV, wants to go play, and she'll
just bark.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, Pauline, I didn't know about this channel, But would
the dog enjoy watching people playing in the backyard and
be like jealous of the TV?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, my dog barks, But there are pets that just
sit there and watch other dogs playing. And then you
know it'll be a dog just running in a field
slow motion, a dog that you know, gets out of
the water and shaking the water off. But I will
say that I've watched worse things on TV, and you know,
(19:53):
gets kind of hypnotic. You're like, huh, look at that dog.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, it's like the dog version of watching people play
poker on TV. That's basically what it is like. And
there he goes, Yeah, okay, yeah, run around the tree.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There you go? Sure, yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Whenever the doorbell rings at my house, my dog loses
his mind. I think most dogs kind of do that.
But it's also like people these days, who rings the
doorbell and comes to someone's house unannounced. So when my
doorbell rings at home, both I and me and the
dog we both realc like, who's there? Why is soone
at our house unannounced?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I had a girlfriend who had a dog, and the
mailman would put the mail in the slot in the door,
and the dog would just rip it up as soon
as it came in. You'd come home and you'd see
all of these, you know, different envelopes had just been
torn to shreds. So we had to figure out how
we could get the mail and not have her dog
(20:52):
chew up everything that was in there. So we eventually
had to put a little basket underneath the male slut. Okay, anyway,
let me get to is it johants in Atlanta? I
don't know if I got that correctly pronounced? Hey, what's
going on? DP?
Speaker 12 (21:09):
How you doing man?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Good? Is it jo Hants?
Speaker 8 (21:13):
It's johans Say it's just like Beyonce, but it's Johansse.
Speaker 12 (21:17):
But thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Okay, hey, what do you have for I was just loving.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
The interview with my Adam family yesterday. It was just
awesome as a blast for my past, just thinking of
all the good times of watching it was movies from
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It was wonderful. So that was great. Thank you so
much for that, DP. Really that was a great interview. However,
there was something.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Yesterday that I do have an issue with. You said
yesterday that the WNBA All Star Game.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Was down thirty five percent, and then you went off
onto a dietrap about talking about how you need to
protect CC and you didn't even finish.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
The Sentencelope, bro, Like you didn't even say it was
down thirty five percent last year, but still up one
hundred and fifty eight percent from two years ago.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
There's been two WNBA All Star Games that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Have had more than two million people. This year was
one and last year was one. The WNBA has done fantastic.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Kaylin Kart is the ice on the cake. They've done
a lot of growth they've done a lot of good things.
I mean, you could finish the sentence and say that
all that the skills competition in three point was the
most watched skills and three point ever in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The history of the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
You didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You just said it's down thirty five I'm it is.
It shows the impact of her. I know the WNBA
is doing well. I know that they're doing well, they're
talking about expanding. I'm just saying her impact. You saw
that one person. It was down thirty five percent from
the previous year. Doesn't mean that the numbers weren't bad.
It just points out how important she is to the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (22:58):
Still up one hundred and fifty eight percent from two
years ago. You didn't say that, though, But it can
be both.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It can be both. Okay, if they've only had two,
then whatever your number was is going to be great,
and then this one down thirty five percent because of
one person. It doesn't mean that they're struggling. I'm just
I'm pointing out her value to the WNBA. That's all.
(23:25):
We're kind of saying the same thing. Okay, But thank
you for the phone call and the Sandler interview. By
the way, the movie comes out tomorrow. Happy Go More too.
And I think Derrick Henry is going to join us
on the show tomorrow because Sandler now took away the
two thousand yard rushing total. He's just going to put
(23:46):
Derrick Henry in his next movie.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Yes, Ty, we just got word that shoot at McGavin himself.
Christopher McDonald will be part of tomorrow show as well.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Okay, hecky dude, hecky.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Seatan, you had something to say, Yeah, I mean those
two All Star games had one thing in common, Caitlin
Clark correct, Yes, it's kind of the I think that's
kind of your whole point, is it? And if the
league hinges that much on one player, and I don't
know if that is the success of the league as
a whole rather than the unicorn that was dropped into
(24:21):
the middle of it last year.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, because the point that I was making is that
there have been tremendous players in the WNBI, the great players,
but nothing like this. So yes, we saw what she
did for last year's All Star Game and when she
didn't play for this year's All Star Game. So that's
thirty five percent. That's a big drop, and it's based
(24:45):
off of one player. Yeah, see, yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Think that Diana Tarassi's of the world, Hell yeah, deserve
a ton of respect because they did build this league.
They've spent you know, a long time player after player
building this into a place where Caitlin Clark can be successful. However,
she is such an anomaly and such a unicorn that
you kind of can't really hold the rest of the
league in her.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Like put them in the same sentence.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Necessarily, Yeah, Paul, Yeah, And we've lived through this before
twenty five, twenty seven years ago, when Tiger Woods joined
the tour, the PGA Tour was in fantastic shape worldwide.
Golf was doing great in the eighties and nineties with
all the great golfers that were but then it took
on a global casual fan reach and Tiger Woods was
(25:32):
the directly part of it, directly the force behind it,
like Clark is part of the WNBA. Everything's going up
with the WNBA, like it did with golf. But when
that person, the main person's in there, you notice it
and it plays out. For example, you know the w
the NBA All Star Game. If Victor Minyama was in
the NBA All Star Game, I don't think ratings are
going to go down drastically. He doesn't. And he's a
(25:53):
compelling player. He's very fascinating, but he's not a phenom
of ratings bringing a league up.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, but with the WNBA, it's actually an all star game.
It's a game. If somebody doesn't play in the NBA
All Star Game, I don't think it really matters if
Lebron doesn't play, I don't think it really matters, or Steph,
it doesn't matter. I mean, Caitlin Clark is the anomaly here,
and you know, the comparison is probably Tiger. When Tiger plays,
more people are interested. People who aren't die hard fans
(26:22):
are interested. That's why when you see when Tiger plays,
even if he's not playing well or doesn't make the cut,
the networks will go out of their way to show
you every single shot that he had. Even now when
he plays or when he did play recently. That's how
important he is. He still brings eyeballs. And Caitlin Clark
(26:45):
not playing, and then the previous year with the ratings
were well, Caitlyn Clark played in that so she does
factor into both of these numbers. But I think we
were kind of saying the same thing. Colin Cowhard on
his show on Fox Sports Radio said that he thinks
he called it the worst kept secret in the South,
(27:07):
that the Browns plan on pairing Arch Manning with Nick
Saban and goes back to family ties with Saban. His
agent with the Manning family, Todd mcshae of The Ringer,
said he talked about another team that also has two
(27:31):
first round picks in twenty twenty six, and that is
the La Rams. Because mcshae says that Les Snead, who
is the GM of the Rams, his son is a
close friend of Arch at Texas, And now I don't
know he's not going to pair Arch Manning and the
(27:54):
Rams with Nick Saban involved in this. But Colin is
saying it's Nick Saban with the brown and that Arch
Manning that would be the reason that maybe he would
come back and coach. So I guess that you have
less sneed and his son a long snapper at Texas
and a friend of Arch Manning. The Rams have two
(28:17):
first round picks in the draft, and so do the
Cleveland Browns. But if I'm Nick Saban, one of my
seventy three, I got my legacy. Seems like you're enjoying
what you do on college game day. He won a
Sports Emmy for his contributions. But if you're coming back,
(28:41):
why would you go to Now? I understand the fan
base with the Browns, and he was an assistant coach
there with Bill Belichick, but you're going to get a
rookie quarterback and it's going to take time for him
to develop. Even if you get Arch Manning. I mean, yes,
you have two first round picks, but would that be
enough with that owner in Cleveland that you would come
(29:04):
back and you would coach in the NFL? Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Actually, when I heard this rumor and I heard it
on Collins Show, to me, it makes a ton of sense.
I don't know if it's a report or just a
speculative discussion about Saban, but I don't believe Nick Saban
wanted to stop coaching. I think he clearly got very
sick of the direction of college football. And I believe
that the NFL is the opposite of college football. College
football is the Wild West with nil and collectives and
(29:29):
the new pay structure. The NFL is very rigid. There's
no recruiting. You don't really recruit, you have a pay
structure that's completely you don't have to even deal with
as a head coach. It's all the things he doesn't
want to deal with in college you don't have to
deal with.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
In the NFL. You just coach the team.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
It makes I think that sounds very attractive to Nick Saban,
even at the age of seventy three, because these guys.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
They just coach. That's what they do. And I don't
know if this was a case of, hey, it didn't
work out with the Dolphins, now I want to go
back and prove that I can coach in the NFL.
I mean, I don't does Bill Belichick have to prove
he can coach in college? I guess, but it doesn't
seem like those guys have to prove anything unless it's
(30:13):
to themselves, and unless it's Saban saying, you know what,
I still want to do this for a few more years,
But how long do you want to do it? I
think he and Pete carroll around the same age, and
it feels like we're trending towards younger quarter coaches. And
that's what surprises me that you know, these guys are
(30:34):
control freaks. Saban, you know you're not controlling a team.
You're the head coach of a team. You're controlling a
team in college once they get on the field, once
they put on your uniform, Now you're in control. They're
all control freaks, you know. That's but when you get
to the NFL, you're not. Yeah, yeah, I mean I
(30:55):
just don't. I just don't see it for some reason.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Right unless Nick, say, really has this overwhelming desire to
prove to himself that he can coach in the NFL,
which so far is pretty unproven, right, I mean, he
hasn't been He hasn't coached in the NFL in almost
twenty years, and when he did, it was only for
like a year or two. And like you said, I
don't know that the NFL is trending in the direction
(31:19):
of let's bring in an older college football coach.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And there's no downside for the Cleveland Browns. I get that.
But if Saban is basing this solely off getting Arch Manning,
you know, there's I mean, what are the odds the
Browns are going to be this bad to get the
number one pick, or they're going to trade their two
you know, first round picks to get the number one pick. Yeah,
(31:47):
is Nick Saban known as a head coach who develops
NFL quarterbacks. No, or at least he got quarterbacks who
played his style. Then. I think it was Lane Kiffen
when he was an assistant coach, said Hey, we gotta
get some guys who can you know, be better athletes here.
(32:08):
That's like it seems funny then to be like, hey,
I mean you got the chance he's gonna come along.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
You got arch Manning. He's going to develop him. Why
he's never developed quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's not what he does.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It's like saying, you know Tom Brady was so good
because he had Bill Belichick running the offense.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
No, he didn't. They Bill Belichick's defensive mind the coach.
That's not what he does at all.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Yeah, Paul, I go back to control, And it's weird
to say that Nick Saban would have much more control
in the NFL than college football. These days, there's no
there's no transfer portal. Guys can't go year to year
and just jump teams unless they have a contract that
allows them to. And if you coach in the NFL,
you have more The players are at the whim of
the owners and the gms. We've seen it this week.
(32:49):
These players are begging for contracts. In college, the players
are wagging the dog, and that's why some of these
coaches are getting out. And I think a guy like
Nick Saban never wanted to stop coaching. He just got
dist with it and the waystation of college game day.
He probably makes twenty million dollars in two years and
jump right back in. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, I just don't see it. But once again, I
have to be fair to Saban, maybe having this itch
that I want to prove that I can. I don't
walk around going you know, I'd Saban great coach, but
he couldn't coach in the NFL. I mean, Steve Spurrier
couldn't coach in the NFL. It doesn't take away from
what he did when he was a college coach. He's
one of the greatest coaches of all time, going to
(33:31):
different programs and you know, producing winners there. But if
like I understood Belichick, I would not hire Belichick as
a coach in the NFL now. And it's not because
of you know, off the field with his girlfriend. But
that doesn't help him. But you know, I just think
he's set in his ways. He wants to run the
(33:51):
entire organization. That's why nobody reached out to him. And
when he left the Patriots, I said at the time
he will not coach in the NFL again. Now, well
maybe he's one and done at Carolina. Is somebody going
to hire Belichick given what's going on now with him?
I wouldn't all that drama. Nope, not interested. All right,
(34:11):
we'll take a break. ESPN reportedly near nearing a deal
they are going to bring in They're buying the NFL network.
Looks like this has been in the works for months now.
You want to talk about a poorly kept secret, this
is your poorly kept secret that the Mothership is going
(34:33):
to pick up NFL Red Zone and the NFL network
and it's probably going to be over two billion dollars
for that. But once again, nothing finalized yet, but they've
been working on this for months. We'll take a break.

(36:22):
All right? Oh gee, we've held off. Yeah, we've held
off long enough. Let's play the Nick Saban game. How
about some music here? All right? Dan Rady, Okay, here
we go.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
I'm gonna let you go last, Dan, Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
How would I phrase this? Okay?
Speaker 6 (36:39):
A year from now, Nick Saban is working for blank.
This is a bit of fill in the blank with
the NICKT Staving game. I'll go first, right. A year
from now, Nick Saban is working for an NFL team.
Marvin Still at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Seen fritzy, Oh see, I'll say, still working in TV.
I'm gonna do go with Marvin Still at ESPN.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
That's what I think he's gonna do.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I'm going to keep him at ESPN. I think it's
a good gig. You still get to be close to
the game, you're having fun. I think that there's probably
those days where, especially right now, this is you know,
your body reacts when you're an athlete, like certain times
of the year, you know it's time to get ready
(37:34):
to you know, start playing working out. Then you're gonna
get you know, at a certain month, certain time of
the year, and you're gonna feel a different way. And
then it's going to be after the Super Bowl and
you're gonna be like, all right now, getting ready for
the draft. You know, all these things that you're so
used to doing all of these years, and maybe it's
just right now he would be going to camp, and
(37:56):
maybe he's he's thinking about that and misses that part
of this. But I don't see him going back to
the coaching, and certainly not the NFL. Yeah point, but
I wonder if it's the opposite. By working on college
game day and being close to college football, it actually
makes him miss it more because you're close to it,
(38:17):
but you're not participating, and you have all the skills,
you're still one of the great coaches on earth in sports,
and you're right down the road from that building, but
you don't get the juice of competing on Saturday. I
would be like being a pilot and then you're working
at baggage claim. You're at the airport, but you you
got a lot of work. You know, at Alabama, they
(38:38):
had I'm sure a ton of money that they could
get who they wanted to get, and they were always
in contention. They were always going to be getting great players.
In the NFL doesn't work that way. You kind of
have to play the guys you got. He can't recruit
players to come there. I mean he can, but you
know it's not like you go come on in and
(38:59):
we'll sign you, you know, maybe free agents, but this
is different. You kinda you got to go out there
with the guys that you got on your team. You
can't go, hey, we got a great recruiting class. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Yeah, I do kind of agree that the media thing,
you know, I think for like people like us, that
job is amazing. It's like, man, does it get any
better than going on the road and going all those games?
But I think if you're a former player or former coach,
it takes a couple of years to get used to
that where, man, like, it's cool, but it's not what
I used to be doing.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You know, now I'm talking about it. I used to
kind of be about it, right.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
When you're on the sideline of the game, you know,
on the field. Yeah, sorry, sir, No, no, you can't
go here because the media goes here and the players
and the coaches go there. I think that that takes
some real getting used to. He never seemed happy when
he was coaching, though. I don't ever really seem go
doing TV either.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I think kind of like he's having a good time.
I think with McAfee there. I think he's having a
good time football with these idiots Jake and Wisconsin. Hi Jake,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (40:09):
ADP.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I'm sure it's all fun and mary in the brain
of Jimmy Haslam.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
And company to think that they can get Nick Saban
in Arch Manning.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
But his last name is Manning, Like, why would that
family want him anywhere near that team, that franchise.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It's a fair point, and you also have to factor
in that you know how big the Manning family is
in New Orleans, and the Saints might not be a
great team, so maybe he could end up there in
New Orleans. Yeah, but I still don't really understand the
idea of pairing Nick Saban and Arch Manning other than
(40:45):
some sort of like convenience of timing. Why does that
pairing really make sense anyway? Like, this is what we're
gonna do, Well, you can't. I don't know how much
control you're gonna have over Hey, he'll coach, but he
wants to have arch man Okay, that means you guys
got to go. You have to tank this year. So
(41:05):
are you saying the Browns will tank so they can
get arch Manning. What if I mean they have two
first round picks. If he's a generational talent, why would
anybody be trading him? And it's going to take more
than two first round picks to get arch Manning. Yeah,
and Alabama that was sort of like the mo at
least it seemed to me.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Was always here's our offensive line, they're gigantic, here's our
incredible skill position player's kid. Hand the ball to him
or throw it to him, just don't screw it up.
That was the quarterbacks roll all the time. Take a break.
One hour of the Books coming up. We'll talk to

watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app, and
we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Show,
Hey Otani did it again last night, So that's five
consecutive games. And I asked Paulie, I said, I'm curious
the percentage of home runs to hits that he has,
Like how many how often does he hit a home run?
(01:33):
And how many of you know, percentage wise of the
hits he's had. So O'tani has one hundred and six hits.
They are one hundred and eight hits and thirty seven
home runs, so thirty four percent of all of his
hits are home runs. Now, I thought Kyle Schwarber would
lead baseball in that category. He's just a little bit above.
(01:55):
Show hey Otani, thirty six percent of Kyle Schwarber's hit
our home runs. He has ninety four hits. He has
thirty four home runs. The Big Dumper. The Big Dumper
is number one. He has over forty one percent of
his hits are home runs, ninety four hits, thirty nine
home runs. Eugenio Suarez of the Diamondbacks almost thirty nine
(02:21):
percent of his hits. Aaron Judge is also in there
as well, twenty almost twenty nine percent of his hits
are home runs. So feast Or famine for a few
of these guys. And early in the season. What was
early in the season Otani was batting three fifty Aaron Judge.
Aaron Judge's batting average is still pretty good, but I
(02:41):
think Otani's down around two seventy to seventy five, whereas
Aaron Judge is still over three hundred. But I do
like what the Dodgers are doing with Otani, and that
is you can ease him back in. If he was
just a pitcher, the strategy would be different. But what
they're doing is pitch a couple innings. Maybe they have
a pitch count. But this is all about the postseason.
(03:05):
Get to the postseason, and then how are you going
to use him? Are you going to use him maybe
certain situations as a closer, are you going to use
him as a starter. It's tricky when you're going to
try to plan to put him in a game as
a closer, because you know where's he going to warm up,
How's he going to warm up? What if he doesn't
get in the game. You know, relievers, closers will tell
(03:27):
you they get up and down. You know that they're
loosening up many many times. You know a closer could
get up fifty times and not get into the game
during a regular season, So you can't have that for Otani.
That's why I think in some baseball guys have said, hey,
it'd be great to bring him in as a closer.
(03:48):
It just doesn't line up that way because he's going
to be, you know, probably in the field, unless you
know he's a DH and then you can say, all right,
go out and warm up while you're a DA, then
it would work that way. But I like what he's doing.
I like what they're doing, and that is this is
all about the postseason. But he has six He has
(04:11):
six hits in his last five games, and five of
the six hits are home runs.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
If Day stan Day, Statuta Day, Stantata Day.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
This is the stant of the Day Scat of the Day,
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. Well, if you're showing up
to see Otani Homer, you're getting your wish. He doesn't
do much else, doesn't need to just hitting home runs.
All right, pull question today, Seaton, what are we going
(04:46):
to go with?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Just saying shout out to j Lo and Rose Burn
also share a birthday with them?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh great? Roseburn okay, all right? Barry Bonds not same month,
same day, same year, but okay, kind of lumped in
there together. Better career Bonds, j Loo or Rosy Oh man,
that old question. Would you rather have Jlo's career or
Barry Bond's career?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Jlo's is not tainted by anything. She's successful dancer, singer, actress.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Okay, right, she's multi chalented with the whole acting, singing
and everything else. Gary Bones just hits cheating, hold on
sing She's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
A very successful singer.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I feel like Jaylo's got some diddy stuff she needs
to take care of.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I mean, other than that, it's not really all
that tainted and other people singing her songs, by the way, but.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Very successful though, Seaton, Who would you take Barry Bond's career? Jalen,
you know what I'm taking my career. I'm going off
the board.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Board. Well, it is your birthday and you go off
the board Marvin j Loo or Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Okay, Paulie, I think this is clear no pun intended.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That you're gonna cream the competition. Uh, Jlo?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Why is she going wired to why she got like
a forty year media career.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, she's an entertainer. You see her out and abound.
You don't see much of Bonds anymore unless it's a
Giant's game or spring training. So no one else is
doing this fall questions they are No, No, they're not.
They're not. If they are, then they're they're sampling from
our show. Yes see, you get to act, you get
to sing, you can dance. Yeah, I got to maintain that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Look good and closed. Let's right, let's roll with all
those things.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, yeah, yes, Marvin, what does Jlo have a statue?
She u is a statue statue?
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Asked?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Meanwhile, so with any question today,
here's one from all your policy on rookie quarterbacks, start
them or sit them? Okay, So Will Levis is going
to be out this entire season with Carolina or no
(07:15):
Tennessee same thing, but he's gonna have shoulder surgery and
that means cam Ward has to start, or at least
he's projected to start. So if you're in the camp
of I don't want my rookie quarterbacks to start, well,
tough luck. Given what Tennessee has, I think they have.
(07:35):
Wasn't it Aaron Rodgers, good buddy Tim Boyle? Who was
he was on the Jets roster. Yes, I don't know
if he can play, but he's a backup quarterback. And
I think they have in the kid out of Texas
A and m Allen last names? Oh was he from Arkansas?
Kyle brand Aw Kyle Allen? He could have been at both? Okay, yeah,
(08:03):
not quite sure.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Yes, So I guess the question here is the past
five years, the Tennessee Titans have not done well with
the quarterback position. You know, Malik Willis did not work out.
No offense doesn't appear that will Levis is working out.
You draft cam Ward, who you know, played at a
bunch of schools, got a lot of reps in college.
But now you have to start him week one or
it feels like you have to start a week one.
(08:24):
Is that what you want to do if you're a
below average franchise with a developmental quarterback.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I don't like it. I would like for him to
just watch the game from the sidelines, understand how this
starter prepares for a game. All of those things. It's
just different than college. The speed is different, terminology is different,
the athletes are different. I think, observe a game or
two or three, you're not going to win your division,
(08:51):
And now he does. He's got Tyler Lockett and he's
got Calvin Ridley, so he's got some guys that he
can throw the ball to. But I would like to
eat him in on a bad team. You know, the
NFL is littered with quarterbacks who played for bad teams
and picked up bad habits. You know, I thought Tim
(09:11):
Couch went to the Cleveland Browns, and I thought, you know,
at the time, that was maybe a prototypical NFL quarterback
and he didn't have a successful career. If he went
to another team, maybe an established coach or offense or
some other players, then maybe. But I just think I
go back. You know, when you're seeing quarterbacks and they
(09:33):
go to a bad team, you're going to a bad
team for a reason. They don't have a good quarterback.
And now you're asked to be a savior.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, Paulin, you mentioned something yesterday that it often doesn't
work out one of those quarterbacks who has like fifteen
career starts and then gets the reins of a team.
Cam Ward had thirty eight starts in his college career
thirteen at Miami and then another you know, twenty five
at Washington State. That's that's pretty good. But if you
go back to Jayden Daniel, Jayden Daniels played five years
(10:02):
of college football. He had fifty five major college starts
before joining the Commanders, that's invaluable.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, well, scouncel will tell you the sample size they
like is around twenty five to thirty starts. Then they
get a better sense of, you know, what you do,
what you don't do, what you can improve upon, sort
of what you're going to be saddled with that this
is who you are. You know, maybe there's some things
you can improve upon, but they like to have a
(10:29):
little bit larger sample size. And I think that's why,
you know, when we look back on Trey Lance, what
did he have twelve starts in his career? It just
you got to have more seasoning than that. And we've
seen a couple of these quarterbacks who have flamed out
when they've only been really good. You know, Zach Wilson, Okay,
(10:50):
maybe there's still a chance, but he didn't start that
many games either.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yeah, Paul, And this is kind of the end of
that COVID bonus year era where quarterbacks are going to
have fifty plus college stars. Bow Knicks, I don't think
a lot of people thought he'd be this he would
be this good as a rookie. But bo Nick started
sixty one games in college, you know, three years in
the SEC, two years at Oregon, sixty one college games.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He was ready to go.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
He's like twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And I like that he was with two big time programs.
He was playing in big games. You're playing in the SEC,
and you're playing in the PAC twelve, and then you
go to the quarterback whisper. By the way, bo Nicks
spent four or five days or five or six days
with Drew Brees this summer. So Sean Payton put those
two together, and I think his development was one of
(11:38):
the more surprising things that we saw last year because
I don't know if people now Sean wanted bow Knicks,
and I think that there were scouts who liked bow
Knicks better than the other quarterbacks. But you know, Sean
Payton got who he wanted. And I think for a
team that we thought was on the rise made the
playoffs last year, I don't know if we give enough
(11:59):
credit to bow Nick usually what happens will be like
Sean Payton did it again. Well, he can tell you
what to do, you still have to go do it.
And I think bo Nicks surprised a lot of people
with what he did. Yeah, pulling and bo Nicks.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Was not a hot property coming out of the draft.
He didn't talk about him as a top five guy.
His last year of college at Oregon in twenty twenty three,
forty five hundred yards, seventy eight percent passer, forty five
touchdowns and only three picks.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, East, Yeah, that's big time alrighty any other pole
questions Seaton, Yes, you know, I think cam Woard too.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
He's got a couple of dudes that throw to I
think they upgraded the offensive line a little bit. He's
stepping into maybe not the worst situation to start out early, right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Maybe, uh yeah, I mean it might be a Bryce
Young situation where if all goes well, I mean, there's
still probably going to be one of the worst teams.
So maybe you get five wins, six win something like that.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
But that he he gets the benefit of no expectations now,
maybe because he he wasn't the number one starter going
right in he was supposed to sit behind somebody who, uh,
you know, has to have surgery. So now he's getting
bumped up, he gets he gets a little bit of
like a a six week Hall pass there, right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But he's still the number one pick in the draft. Yeah,
so the X there are expectations there. Like Caleb Williams,
there are expectations like, uh, you know, when Jade Daniels
didn't have the expectations.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Second, Caleb Williams had the expectations even way before he
was drafted. He's been born for this moment. He had
these expectations when he was in seventh grade.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Paul, I think one of the worst situations is obvious
when Bryschong came to Carolina and they traded DJ Moore.
So he goes in with a bad line, no skill
position players, and it's almost like Brys Young gets a
little bit of a Hall pass for that rookie year.
And Brys Young the last seven eight games last year
was pretty good. His stats last year don't impress anybody,
but if you look at the back half of the season,
(14:04):
Bryce shawng is kind of on that recovery tract.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, they had the Kansas City Chiefs on the ropes
and you know, we normally weren't tuning in to watch
the Panthers, but that was a game that nationally we
watched and they almost pulled off the upset. All right,

you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life
and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised. Well, if you
don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check
(15:33):
out over Promised and also uncensored, by the way, so
maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's
gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Slip in a couple of phone calls here first down
or age seven to seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your calls. Ashley in Reno
leads his song Good morning, Ashley, Good morning, How are
you spectacular? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (16:09):
I'm well, first off, I'm part of the Converted Wise club.
My husband got me into you. And last night I
had a dream about Fritzy. It was so real. You're
not so angry at him. You just said we're done.
I'm quitting before retirement.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I got up.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
I looked at my husband this morning and I said,
did Dan quit? That? I have nothing to listen to?
And on top of it, it says forty his birthday
and I completely perhaps wish him a happy birthday before
he went to work. So if you guys could help
me out and wish Kevin a happy birthday, I would
appreciate it as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Sorry off yourself. Thank you.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
All right, I'm not quitting you yet. I'm not quitting you,
even though Todd has driven me to the brink.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I'm not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No, I'm not Zack and Charlotte, Hi, Zach, what's on
your mind today? Fifty?
Speaker 11 (17:09):
So I work for a game show company called Game
Show battle Rooms as a host, and I can tell
you that a third of the parties that come through,
whoever loses the survey portion of the show, they will
say it's rigged, we cheated, we want the other team
to win, when all I can tell you is that
we want everybody to have fun and make sure that
(17:31):
it's good competition.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Okay, so you side with us with the rich eyes
in family feud controversy.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Exactly as far as I'm concerned, they're just kind of
sore losers.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
At this point. Okay, all right, well thank you, Zach.
They apologize. Rich Eisen walked it back a little bit,
well a lot. He said that he was given bad
information by his staff. I think the staff is the
problem for rich Eyesen, but he's taking them with him
to ESPN. Zack and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
ADP? Thanks for taking my call. Uh just calling to
wish Seating a happy birthday. And before I left out
for work this morning, I forgot to wish my dog
Shu Dynasty aka Shady a happy sixth birthday. I leave
it on peacock for the pups at the house. So
could y'all please give Shady a happy sixth birthday?
Speaker 12 (18:25):
Shout out and mean way.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
We'll we'll do that. Zach, have birthday to a dog
far far birthday. How do you get that?
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
He's keeping the TV on? So come here, Shady, come here,
good girl. You like peanut butter. You want some peanut butter.
You want some peanut butter. Good, let's get some peanut butter.
If there's a dog that's barking on TV, my dog
goes crazy crazy. You know. There there's that channel that
(18:59):
you can leave on on for your pets and they
can watch really yeah, the dog channel, Yeah, dog TV
or something. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
It'll be forty five minutes of just somebody throwing a
tennis ball in the backyard and my dogs are like,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I can't leave it on because my dog wants to
go into the TV, wants to go play, and she'll
just bark.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, Pauline, I didn't know about this channel, But would
the dog enjoy watching people playing in the backyard and
be like jealous of the TV?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, my dog barks, But there are pets that just
sit there and watch other dogs playing. And then you
know it'll be a dog just running in a field
slow motion, a dog that you know, gets out of
the water and shaking the water off. But I will
say that I've watched worse things on TV, and you know,
(19:53):
gets kind of hypnotic. You're like, huh, look at that dog.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, it's like the dog version of watching people play
poker on TV. That's basically what it is like. And
there he goes, Yeah, okay, yeah, run around the tree.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There you go? Sure, yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Whenever the doorbell rings at my house, my dog loses
his mind. I think most dogs kind of do that.
But it's also like people these days, who rings the
doorbell and comes to someone's house unannounced. So when my
doorbell rings at home, both I and me and the
dog we both realc like, who's there? Why is soone
at our house unannounced?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I had a girlfriend who had a dog, and the
mailman would put the mail in the slot in the door,
and the dog would just rip it up as soon
as it came in. You'd come home and you'd see
all of these, you know, different envelopes had just been
torn to shreds. So we had to figure out how
we could get the mail and not have her dog
(20:52):
chew up everything that was in there. So we eventually
had to put a little basket underneath the male slut. Okay, anyway,
let me get to is it johants in Atlanta? I
don't know if I got that correctly pronounced? Hey, what's
going on? DP?
Speaker 12 (21:09):
How you doing man?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Good? Is it jo Hants?
Speaker 8 (21:13):
It's johans Say it's just like Beyonce, but it's Johansse.
Speaker 12 (21:17):
But thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Okay, hey, what do you have for I was just loving.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
The interview with my Adam family yesterday. It was just
awesome as a blast for my past, just thinking of
all the good times of watching it was movies from
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It was wonderful. So that was great. Thank you so
much for that, DP. Really that was a great interview. However,
there was something.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Yesterday that I do have an issue with. You said
yesterday that the WNBA All Star Game.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Was down thirty five percent, and then you went off
onto a dietrap about talking about how you need to
protect CC and you didn't even finish.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
The Sentencelope, bro, Like you didn't even say it was
down thirty five percent last year, but still up one
hundred and fifty eight percent from two years ago.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
There's been two WNBA All Star Games that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Have had more than two million people. This year was
one and last year was one. The WNBA has done fantastic.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Kaylin Kart is the ice on the cake. They've done
a lot of growth they've done a lot of good things.
I mean, you could finish the sentence and say that
all that the skills competition in three point was the
most watched skills and three point ever in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The history of the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
You didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You just said it's down thirty five I'm it is.
It shows the impact of her. I know the WNBA
is doing well. I know that they're doing well, they're
talking about expanding. I'm just saying her impact. You saw
that one person. It was down thirty five percent from
the previous year. Doesn't mean that the numbers weren't bad.
It just points out how important she is to the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (22:58):
Still up one hundred and fifty eight percent from two
years ago. You didn't say that, though, But it can
be both.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It can be both. Okay, if they've only had two,
then whatever your number was is going to be great,
and then this one down thirty five percent because of
one person. It doesn't mean that they're struggling. I'm just
I'm pointing out her value to the WNBA. That's all.
(23:25):
We're kind of saying the same thing. Okay, But thank
you for the phone call and the Sandler interview. By
the way, the movie comes out tomorrow. Happy Go More too.
And I think Derrick Henry is going to join us
on the show tomorrow because Sandler now took away the
two thousand yard rushing total. He's just going to put
(23:46):
Derrick Henry in his next movie.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Yes, Ty, we just got word that shoot at McGavin himself.
Christopher McDonald will be part of tomorrow show as well.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Okay, hecky dude, hecky.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Seatan, you had something to say, Yeah, I mean those
two All Star games had one thing in common, Caitlin
Clark correct, Yes, it's kind of the I think that's
kind of your whole point, is it? And if the
league hinges that much on one player, and I don't
know if that is the success of the league as
a whole rather than the unicorn that was dropped into
(24:21):
the middle of it last year.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, because the point that I was making is that
there have been tremendous players in the WNBI, the great players,
but nothing like this. So yes, we saw what she
did for last year's All Star Game and when she
didn't play for this year's All Star Game. So that's
thirty five percent. That's a big drop, and it's based
(24:45):
off of one player. Yeah, see, yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Think that Diana Tarassi's of the world, Hell yeah, deserve
a ton of respect because they did build this league.
They've spent you know, a long time player after player
building this into a place where Caitlin Clark can be successful. However,
she is such an anomaly and such a unicorn that
you kind of can't really hold the rest of the
league in her.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Like put them in the same sentence.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Necessarily, Yeah, Paul, Yeah, And we've lived through this before
twenty five, twenty seven years ago, when Tiger Woods joined
the tour, the PGA Tour was in fantastic shape worldwide.
Golf was doing great in the eighties and nineties with
all the great golfers that were but then it took
on a global casual fan reach and Tiger Woods was
(25:32):
the directly part of it, directly the force behind it,
like Clark is part of the WNBA. Everything's going up
with the WNBA, like it did with golf. But when
that person, the main person's in there, you notice it
and it plays out. For example, you know the w
the NBA All Star Game. If Victor Minyama was in
the NBA All Star Game, I don't think ratings are
going to go down drastically. He doesn't. And he's a
(25:53):
compelling player. He's very fascinating, but he's not a phenom
of ratings bringing a league up.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, but with the WNBA, it's actually an all star game.
It's a game. If somebody doesn't play in the NBA
All Star Game, I don't think it really matters if
Lebron doesn't play, I don't think it really matters, or Steph,
it doesn't matter. I mean, Caitlin Clark is the anomaly here,
and you know, the comparison is probably Tiger. When Tiger plays,
more people are interested. People who aren't die hard fans
(26:22):
are interested. That's why when you see when Tiger plays,
even if he's not playing well or doesn't make the cut,
the networks will go out of their way to show
you every single shot that he had. Even now when
he plays or when he did play recently. That's how
important he is. He still brings eyeballs. And Caitlin Clark
(26:45):
not playing, and then the previous year with the ratings
were well, Caitlyn Clark played in that so she does
factor into both of these numbers. But I think we
were kind of saying the same thing. Colin Cowhard on
his show on Fox Sports Radio said that he thinks
he called it the worst kept secret in the South,
(27:07):
that the Browns plan on pairing Arch Manning with Nick
Saban and goes back to family ties with Saban. His
agent with the Manning family, Todd mcshae of The Ringer,
said he talked about another team that also has two
(27:31):
first round picks in twenty twenty six, and that is
the La Rams. Because mcshae says that Les Snead, who
is the GM of the Rams, his son is a
close friend of Arch at Texas, And now I don't
know he's not going to pair Arch Manning and the
(27:54):
Rams with Nick Saban involved in this. But Colin is
saying it's Nick Saban with the brown and that Arch
Manning that would be the reason that maybe he would
come back and coach. So I guess that you have
less sneed and his son a long snapper at Texas
and a friend of Arch Manning. The Rams have two
(28:17):
first round picks in the draft, and so do the
Cleveland Browns. But if I'm Nick Saban, one of my
seventy three, I got my legacy. Seems like you're enjoying
what you do on college game day. He won a
Sports Emmy for his contributions. But if you're coming back,
(28:41):
why would you go to Now? I understand the fan
base with the Browns, and he was an assistant coach
there with Bill Belichick, but you're going to get a
rookie quarterback and it's going to take time for him
to develop. Even if you get Arch Manning. I mean, yes,
you have two first round picks, but would that be
enough with that owner in Cleveland that you would come
(29:04):
back and you would coach in the NFL? Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Actually, when I heard this rumor and I heard it
on Collins Show, to me, it makes a ton of sense.
I don't know if it's a report or just a
speculative discussion about Saban, but I don't believe Nick Saban
wanted to stop coaching. I think he clearly got very
sick of the direction of college football. And I believe
that the NFL is the opposite of college football. College
football is the Wild West with nil and collectives and
(29:29):
the new pay structure. The NFL is very rigid. There's
no recruiting. You don't really recruit, you have a pay
structure that's completely you don't have to even deal with
as a head coach. It's all the things he doesn't
want to deal with in college you don't have to
deal with.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
In the NFL. You just coach the team.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
It makes I think that sounds very attractive to Nick Saban,
even at the age of seventy three, because these guys.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
They just coach. That's what they do. And I don't
know if this was a case of, hey, it didn't
work out with the Dolphins, now I want to go
back and prove that I can coach in the NFL.
I mean, I don't does Bill Belichick have to prove
he can coach in college? I guess, but it doesn't
seem like those guys have to prove anything unless it's
(30:13):
to themselves, and unless it's Saban saying, you know what,
I still want to do this for a few more years,
But how long do you want to do it? I
think he and Pete carroll around the same age, and
it feels like we're trending towards younger quarter coaches. And
that's what surprises me that you know, these guys are
(30:34):
control freaks. Saban, you know you're not controlling a team.
You're the head coach of a team. You're controlling a
team in college once they get on the field, once
they put on your uniform, Now you're in control. They're
all control freaks, you know. That's but when you get
to the NFL, you're not. Yeah, yeah, I mean I
(30:55):
just don't. I just don't see it for some reason.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Right unless Nick, say, really has this overwhelming desire to
prove to himself that he can coach in the NFL,
which so far is pretty unproven, right, I mean, he
hasn't been He hasn't coached in the NFL in almost
twenty years, and when he did, it was only for
like a year or two. And like you said, I
don't know that the NFL is trending in the direction
(31:19):
of let's bring in an older college football coach.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And there's no downside for the Cleveland Browns. I get that.
But if Saban is basing this solely off getting Arch Manning,
you know, there's I mean, what are the odds the
Browns are going to be this bad to get the
number one pick, or they're going to trade their two
you know, first round picks to get the number one pick. Yeah,
(31:47):
is Nick Saban known as a head coach who develops
NFL quarterbacks. No, or at least he got quarterbacks who
played his style. Then. I think it was Lane Kiffen
when he was an assistant coach, said Hey, we gotta
get some guys who can you know, be better athletes here.
(32:08):
That's like it seems funny then to be like, hey,
I mean you got the chance he's gonna come along.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
You got arch Manning. He's going to develop him. Why
he's never developed quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's not what he does.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It's like saying, you know Tom Brady was so good
because he had Bill Belichick running the offense.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
No, he didn't. They Bill Belichick's defensive mind the coach.
That's not what he does at all.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Yeah, Paul, I go back to control, And it's weird
to say that Nick Saban would have much more control
in the NFL than college football. These days, there's no
there's no transfer portal. Guys can't go year to year
and just jump teams unless they have a contract that
allows them to. And if you coach in the NFL,
you have more The players are at the whim of
the owners and the gms. We've seen it this week.
(32:49):
These players are begging for contracts. In college, the players
are wagging the dog, and that's why some of these
coaches are getting out. And I think a guy like
Nick Saban never wanted to stop coaching. He just got
dist with it and the waystation of college game day.
He probably makes twenty million dollars in two years and
jump right back in. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, I just don't see it. But once again, I
have to be fair to Saban, maybe having this itch
that I want to prove that I can. I don't
walk around going you know, I'd Saban great coach, but
he couldn't coach in the NFL. I mean, Steve Spurrier
couldn't coach in the NFL. It doesn't take away from
what he did when he was a college coach. He's
one of the greatest coaches of all time, going to
(33:31):
different programs and you know, producing winners there. But if
like I understood Belichick, I would not hire Belichick as
a coach in the NFL now. And it's not because
of you know, off the field with his girlfriend. But
that doesn't help him. But you know, I just think
he's set in his ways. He wants to run the
(33:51):
entire organization. That's why nobody reached out to him. And
when he left the Patriots, I said at the time
he will not coach in the NFL again. Now, well
maybe he's one and done at Carolina. Is somebody going
to hire Belichick given what's going on now with him?
I wouldn't all that drama. Nope, not interested. All right,
(34:11):
we'll take a break. ESPN reportedly near nearing a deal
they are going to bring in They're buying the NFL network.
Looks like this has been in the works for months now.
You want to talk about a poorly kept secret, this
is your poorly kept secret that the Mothership is going
(34:33):
to pick up NFL Red Zone and the NFL network
and it's probably going to be over two billion dollars
for that. But once again, nothing finalized yet, but they've
been working on this for months. We'll take a break.

I think it's time to play the Nick Saban game.
(36:22):
All right? Oh gee, we've held off. Yeah, we've held
off long enough. Let's play the Nick Saban game. How
about some music here? All right? Dan Rady, Okay, here
we go.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
I'm gonna let you go last, Dan, Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
How would I phrase this? Okay?
Speaker 6 (36:39):
A year from now, Nick Saban is working for blank.
This is a bit of fill in the blank with
the NICKT Staving game. I'll go first, right. A year
from now, Nick Saban is working for an NFL team.
Marvin Still at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Seen fritzy, Oh see, I'll say, still working in TV.
I'm gonna do go with Marvin Still at ESPN.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
That's what I think he's gonna do.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I'm going to keep him at ESPN. I think it's
a good gig. You still get to be close to
the game, you're having fun. I think that there's probably
those days where, especially right now, this is you know,
your body reacts when you're an athlete, like certain times
of the year, you know it's time to get ready
(37:34):
to you know, start playing working out. Then you're gonna
get you know, at a certain month, certain time of
the year, and you're gonna feel a different way. And
then it's going to be after the Super Bowl and
you're gonna be like, all right now, getting ready for
the draft. You know, all these things that you're so
used to doing all of these years, and maybe it's
just right now he would be going to camp, and
(37:56):
maybe he's he's thinking about that and misses that part
of this. But I don't see him going back to
the coaching, and certainly not the NFL. Yeah point, but
I wonder if it's the opposite. By working on college
game day and being close to college football, it actually
makes him miss it more because you're close to it,
(38:17):
but you're not participating, and you have all the skills,
you're still one of the great coaches on earth in sports,
and you're right down the road from that building, but
you don't get the juice of competing on Saturday. I
would be like being a pilot and then you're working
at baggage claim. You're at the airport, but you you
got a lot of work. You know, at Alabama, they
(38:38):
had I'm sure a ton of money that they could
get who they wanted to get, and they were always
in contention. They were always going to be getting great players.
In the NFL doesn't work that way. You kind of
have to play the guys you got. He can't recruit
players to come there. I mean he can, but you
know it's not like you go come on in and
(38:59):
we'll sign you, you know, maybe free agents, but this
is different. You kinda you got to go out there
with the guys that you got on your team. You
can't go, hey, we got a great recruiting class. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Yeah, I do kind of agree that the media thing,
you know, I think for like people like us, that
job is amazing. It's like, man, does it get any
better than going on the road and going all those games?
But I think if you're a former player or former coach,
it takes a couple of years to get used to
that where, man, like, it's cool, but it's not what
I used to be doing.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You know, now I'm talking about it. I used to
kind of be about it, right.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
When you're on the sideline of the game, you know,
on the field. Yeah, sorry, sir, No, no, you can't
go here because the media goes here and the players
and the coaches go there. I think that that takes
some real getting used to. He never seemed happy when
he was coaching, though. I don't ever really seem go
doing TV either.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I think kind of like he's having a good time.
I think with McAfee there. I think he's having a
good time football with these idiots Jake and Wisconsin. Hi Jake,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (40:09):
ADP.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I'm sure it's all fun and mary in the brain
of Jimmy Haslam.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
And company to think that they can get Nick Saban
in Arch Manning.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
But his last name is Manning, Like, why would that
family want him anywhere near that team, that franchise.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It's a fair point, and you also have to factor
in that you know how big the Manning family is
in New Orleans, and the Saints might not be a
great team, so maybe he could end up there in
New Orleans. Yeah, but I still don't really understand the
idea of pairing Nick Saban and Arch Manning other than
(40:45):
some sort of like convenience of timing. Why does that
pairing really make sense anyway? Like, this is what we're
gonna do, Well, you can't. I don't know how much
control you're gonna have over Hey, he'll coach, but he
wants to have arch man Okay, that means you guys
got to go. You have to tank this year. So
(41:05):
are you saying the Browns will tank so they can
get arch Manning. What if I mean they have two
first round picks. If he's a generational talent, why would
anybody be trading him? And it's going to take more
than two first round picks to get arch Manning. Yeah,
and Alabama that was sort of like the mo at
least it seemed to me.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Was always here's our offensive line, they're gigantic, here's our
incredible skill position player's kid. Hand the ball to him
or throw it to him, just don't screw it up.
That was the quarterbacks roll all the time. Take a break.
One hour of the Books coming up. We'll talk to
Ross Tucker about this topic. Jason Garrett will stop by
as well. Hour two on this Thursday, Dan and the
Danetz right after this
