Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
We are back and ready to go, fully assembled. You're
fab five, Fritzy the Minister of Humor, Seat and Marv
Paulie yours truly, and of course the back room guys
come on in stay a while. A lot of topics
to dive into after vacation. 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.

(00:26):
This first hour brought to you by the great folks
at ti Iraq. They've been doing it for four decades,
helping you with how you drive, what you drive, where
you drive, and they ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tirac dot com the way tire buying should be. Stat
of the Days always brought to you by Panini America,

(00:47):
the official trading cards of the program, each seven to
seven three DP show, as we always do every Monday,
Best and Worst of the weekend. What you saw that
you liked and didn't like. We'll come up with a
poll question. Seaton will do the honors, but first let
me run down in no particular order. Scotty Scheffler wins
the BMW fifth win of the season, and it's his sport.

(01:09):
Now when you think about it, you know, Tiger separated
himself eventually. You know Phil was kind of there, Ernie
Els was there. You had other guys who were kind
of on the periphery who would you know sometime they
would step up in a week and challenge him, maybe
beat him. But this is Scotty Scheffler's and you're watching it,
and it's very methodical. It is, you know, drip drip, drip,

(01:33):
water torture as opposed to a guillotine. Tiger was a guillotine.
He would just cut your head off. Scotty's like, yep,
there he is again, and there he is again, and
there he is again. And then he did this on
the next to last hole yesterday. And this is how
it sounded. Do we have Scotty Scheffler Marvin or is
that our play of the day?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
That is our play of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh okay, so we're gonna save that. Okay, fair enough.
So Scotty Scheffler wins the BMW. I think the Happy
Gilmore cameo at the end of Happy Gilmore too. You
have over one hundred million people who have streamed that movie.
And I think this has helped too, that Scotty is
I don't know if he's embraceable, but he's likable, he's enjoyable,

(02:19):
and you're watching and you're going, Okay, he's making fun
of himself, and I think that really helped. And he,
you know, had a four shot deficit and he caught
Robert McIntyre and then of course had some really great
performances shots that you want. You know, I hate when
somebody backs into a title, and Scotty Scheffler did not

(02:40):
back into a title. He went out, grabbed it and
won it, his fifth PGA Tour title of the season
and the first player to win five straight times on
the PGA Tour in consecutive years since Tiger Woods back
in six and seven. And I know it sounds blasphemous
to say, you know, put Scotti Scheffler in Tiger Woods
in the same you know conversation. I'm not talking about

(03:03):
the style, the presentation. I'm talking about the end result.
And that's where Scotty deserves to be put in that category. Now,
granted it's a smaller sample size, but if you're looking
at Tiger at his tiger Ish peak, Scotty is, you know,
at least close, he's at least in the conversation with that,

(03:24):
And once again, he's never He still looks like Carl
Spackler from what is it the Caddyshack. Yeah, whenever I
see him, you know, he's got the beard there. It
just looks like Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack. But he
did it in a methodical way once again and very

(03:44):
impressive going into the Tour Championship. Also, preseason football, I
think we got to declare moratorium on going crazy with
our referendums on preseason football because I do have a
dilemma here. And I talk about this in certain sports
or athletes or teams where it's clickbait. And I have

(04:07):
told you this many many times. I don't subscribe to it.
I don't want to do it. It may, you know,
not be beneficial for this show or this my career.
But I have to present something when I feel like
it needs to be presented. And I'm watching shudor Sanders
play and I realized I have to pick a side.
It almost feels like you either say, hey, really he

(04:30):
looked great or hey, okay, you can't even cover it
yet be in the middle, you know, kind of neutral
with it, which is what I'm trying to be. I
thought he played really well, and then all of a sudden,
I see the coverage for Dylan Gabriel and you know,
I had a fumble and that had interception. The interception
was in his fault. And Jackson Dark with the Giants

(04:54):
played well, but nobody's going to talk about that. So
you're trying to find a middle ground with this with
what you say in the preseason, and it kind of
comes with, you know, a paustionary tale. You know, we'll
play these back in January, you know, when the season's
over for a lot of these rookies, then we'll probably

(05:15):
come back and go that was said. You know, it's
like freezing cold takes. We'll bring him back. And you
know this person said this, I think should Or Sanders
will start a game for the Browns this season, said
that when they drafted him. But I don't have an
agenda here, and anybody who you know, believes in and
should Or Sanders shouldn't have been surprised at how he played.

(05:38):
That was the surprising part.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Of it.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
If you think he can play, then why were you surprised.
I expect him to be good. He played well in college.
I voted for him third on my Heisman ballot. But
you know, this outpour of media, I mean it was gushing,
it was dripping. It's like easy here, and you know

(06:03):
he's limited now due to an injury. I don't think
he's going to be their starting quarterback. I think it's
Joe Flacco. But I do think he'll get a chance.
But I think we need to be fair to Dylan
Gabriel as well in this situation. And if you want
to throw in Kenny Pickett, you know, it's kind of
a hodgepodge of quarterbacks there. But Shador Sanders played well.

(06:23):
It's one game in the preseason. It's like summer league
basketball where all of a sudden, I'll come in and go,
oh my gosh, this guy put up forty for the Pistons.
He don't even make the roster. I think should or
will play. But you do have to pick a side
almost because if I say something negative, well I'm a hater.
And then if I praise Shador Sanders, then I'm, you know,

(06:47):
on the bandwagon with Dion and his son. I expect
him to play well, and he did play well, and
you can celebrate that, but I don't know what that means.
I did want to see composure. We talked Drew Brees
before vacation, and you know he wants to see those
guys who have a good thirty starts. Now that's where
you really get a sense of how good a quarterback

(07:09):
is or is going to be. Jayden Daniels and bow
Nicks had over fifty starts in their careers, playing at
two different places. Now you get a good sample size.
That's why we've had a lot of these quarterbacks recently,
high draft picks who maybe had one really good season
in college. It's not enough for me, and I think

(07:31):
that that's where we need to have buyer be ware
with all of this. Shad Or Sanders played well, but
I hate picking a side because I don't really have
a side on it. I want to be neutral with him.
You have football coming up tonight. You have the Commanders
and the Bengals. This is the holdout game, so Commanders
in the Bengals. The Bengals their minus five three and

(07:53):
a half in case you care, but this is the
Trey Hendrickson, Terry McLaurin game, neither will be there. And
this is where you know I said this about Michah Parsons.
If I hear that they're listening to offers in Dallas
or somebody is making an offer, now you have my attention.

(08:14):
I truly believe that this will come down to the
last week before we get to the regular season, and
Jerry will own all the headlines and Micah Parsons will
be brought in and he'll proudly say he's the highest
paid non quarterback in the game, and then we'll move on.
But as far as the Bengals go there listening, you know,
reportedly listening to trade offers, Now you have my attention.

(08:38):
And if you knew that you weren't going to sign him,
and you knew that he was going to hold firm
in what he wanted, then why didn't you think about
this prior to the draft? Why didn't you trade him?
That's when you could get more for him. But here
you are, and you're probably going to waste another Joe
Burrows season. You sign up your best receivers and you

(09:02):
have a defense that prevented you from making the postseason.
So this is where you look at if I'm a
fan and I go, you know, management failed us. Either
trade him back in March prior to the draft, or
sign him up. Let's go. You know, you only have
so many opportunities here, and you got a franchise quarterback,

(09:26):
a great quarterback, and great wide receivers. You're gonna have
to score a lot of points. Even if you have
Trey Hendrickson, and then you have Terry McLaurin. You had
this wonderful season last year, surprised everybody. He wants to
be paid. He wants to be paid accordingly to you know,
other receivers in the game. He doesn't do anything dynamic,

(09:49):
but he is there and he had a wonderful season,
and hopefully he gets the money he deserves. I hope
Trey Hendrickson gets the money. I think it's really easy
to go. Let me blame the player. If I look
at production, Trey Hendrickson has been better than TJ Want
the last two years. Terry McLaurin his numbers, I can't

(10:12):
deny the numbers. But the NFL does not pay you
on what you did. They pay you on what they
think you'll do. And that's when thirty years of age
in Cincinnati is different than thirty years of age in
Pittsburgh because TJ Wantt got paid.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
All right, Yes, PAULI, how about halftime tonight to spice
up the game, Trey Henderson negotiates with the Bengals live
on air. Twelve minutes halftime. You got to get the
contract done. You got twelve minutes. McLaurin, same thing. That's
good TV.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Sure, I'm good with that. Bengals probably wouldn't be in
favor of that. I'd love to know what those negotiations
sound like, feel like, and I mean, while we're at it,
and then you get but Jerry has to only have
the player in there. He doesn't want to have the agent.
So Jerry Joe couldn't do that, But wouldn't You'd love
to see how that goes down back and forth. This

(11:06):
is where what happens in the in these situations. And
it happened to me that management can tell your agent
whatever they want to tell them. Now, they wouldn't tell
you necessarily, but they will say, hey, as you know,
the great Mark Shapiro of the ESPN said to my agent,
you're over the hill. He's over the hill. And he'll
never get another job. Well, he says that to my agent,

(11:28):
and I'm like God when he say that to me,
Yes he would, But you know it's per you know,
it's business, but for Trey hendricks and Terry McLaurin, it's personal.
This is their salary, this is their future, this is
their life. For Mike Brown, I mean, he's like, this
is just another contract for him, another holdout, another situation

(11:51):
that is so bengal Esh. And then you got the
commanders as well with Terry McLaurin. So, uh, you know,
proceed with caution in the preseason, going to reiterate that here, Satan,
what's the pole question today? Well, we could start there
in the NFL if you want. And actually, I've been
looking at a bunch of different articles about the best

(12:13):
destinations for Trey Hendrickson. I can't tell if some of
them are actually good destinations or if some of them
are just wishful thinking too right, So, like the Alliance
or top of that list, I think that would be great.
I do think they might have the wrong I'm not
a salary capologist, but I think they might have room

(12:35):
for something like that. And this is a team that
I don't think they had a sack against the Commanders
in the playoffs. In their playoff game, Aiden Hutchinson of
course was out, but detroit Is won. What are the
other ones?

Speaker 5 (12:49):
I got a long list here, Buccaneers on that list.
That could be fun, Okay, it could be fun. I
think he lives in Florida. Commanders seemed to be on
every list right now as a destination for people the
Chicago Bears. If you're Trey Hendrickson, are you leaving the

(13:10):
Bengals to go to the Bears?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I think he's leaving to go wherever they'll pay him.
I don't think he's loyal to Cincinnati. Just go. Here's
three years for thirty million dollars a year, thirty five
million dollars a year. How's that they are all done?
Three for one hundred, all done, sixty million guaranteed or
something done? Good? Good, Let's go. But I don't think

(13:35):
he goes Man, I really want to stay in Cincinnati. Yeah, Pauling.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
I had the current list of salary cap space in
the NFL. The Lions are number two. They have forty
seven million currently in open cap spits.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
All right, good point?

Speaker 5 (13:48):
Any other places seating now? Here's that was one list
that I saw. This next four teams are a separate
list that I saw. The Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Okay, would you rather hold out or play for the pace?

Speaker 5 (14:04):
This is the holdout or playlist?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, no, because I'd rather I just want to get paid.
If I'm Trey Hendrickson, I don't care, So I'm I'm
you know, even Carolin? All right, Caroline is nice. You know,
maybe he looks good in those uniforms. You think he
just wants to get paid? Yes, yes, at this stage
of the game. Yes, yes, have been to a super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
How about the Cleveland Browns team up with Miles Garrett?
It could be unstoppable there. Bengals wouldn't trade in in
the division, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay, how about the Colts? Okay, yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
I went back and looked to see if Trey Hendrickson
ever made huge money. He's never gotten top end defensive
end salary. He made nineteen million a couple of years ago,
eighteen million and twenty twenty three, quite a bit less
than his contemporary. He's at sixty eight million dollars in
his career.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
But this is it.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
This is the last deal and this upcoming year he
will be making sixteen million, which is less than half
of Garrett and Watt.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
All right, let's take a break. We'll settle on a
poll question. We did have the Michigan verdict. After two years,
they finally NCAA showing its teeth, of course, but we'll
talk about that coming up. And also there's and it's
in the early stages that the Big Ten is offering
up a proposal for playoff expansion that could be twenty

(15:36):
four to twenty eight teams. Early stages, but I mean
we're headed in this direction. We just are. But we'll
talk about that as well. Take a break, just getting started.

We'll get to your phone calls coming up on this
Monday best and worst of the weekend. I'm going to
violate the rule that I just presented to you fifteen
minutes ago. Stop me if you've heard this one before.
The Patriots have a scrappy, shifty bring your lunch pale
to work slot receiver, first to sh show up, last
to leave. His name is Efton Chisholm. He's out of

(17:05):
Eastern Washington. That's where Cooper Cup was from. Twelve catches,
one hundred and twenty one yards, two touchdowns, and all
of a sudden, is he Julian Edelman two point zero,
Wes Welker reborn, maybe a touch of Danny Mmandola yes,
get ready. And I know August stats don't usually convert

(17:25):
to success in the fall in the NFL, but remember
the name Efton Chisholm. Drake May needs that security blanket.
He needs that Amman Doola, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, and
maybe he's found it. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
When you watch him play, you're like, okay, here we go.
Seen this playbook before. I've seen this one.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
By the Patriots.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
It's exactly the carbon copy of several other past Patriots players.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yes, Paul Eftin Chisholm, the third five eight right on
Q from a directional school. Wow, superstar.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, hopefully I'm on board.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Josh Dobbs doesn't get him knocked out before the start
of the season, and okay, god, good grief.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
See that's his story to cover too. Josh Dobbs played
terrible for the Patriots, and you know, you throw those
certain balls and you go, he's going to get somebody
killed out there. Yeah. See.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yeah, this is the case where actual performance in the
preseason does matter, because Josh Dobbs is actively making the
team worse by getting players knocked out due to injury.
He's actually we he's actually thinning the herd for the
Patriots coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
But does he have a social media following though? How
many likes does he have? Seaton?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yes, Pa, if we're admitting man crushes and Patriots. Trevion Henderson,
the rookie running back from Ohio State, calling him the
Steel the draft in August.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
There were uh, there were some coaches that came out
and said wow, like they opposing coaches said wow that
they were shocked at how good he was in person.
All right. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. The
NCAA hammered Michigan. Financially, this was like a velvet hammer. Yeah,

(19:21):
it's a hammer, but it's a velvet hammer. We're going
to kind of hit you hard. We're going to give
the appearance that maybe we hit you hard. But no
titles were stripped, no records remove, no wins vacated. It's hey,
if you want to win a title, you can cheat,
and but it's going to cost you thirty thirty five

(19:41):
million dollars. Are you willing to do it? How many
schools in America would go Yeah? Sure. Jim Harbaugh show
cause penalty that it doesn't go into effect for three
more years. But it's for a decade. I mean, he's
not going back to college, but it's it's for a
decade that he can't coach in college. You know, this

(20:04):
is it was disappointing because it's lack of institutional control.
That used to be a big phrase with the NC
DOUBLEA and there's no postseason ban. Let's just be honest here,
new president there with the NC DOUBLEA. He needs Michigan.
We love having Michigan. You know, Michigan always brings a
great product. But you bring an asterisk. Whether you care

(20:27):
about that or not, it's there. It will be there
when people say, oh, they won a title, Yeah, well
was that the year they cheated and they had all
of this evidence. But you know, the lack of institutional
control and no postseason ban really surprised me. There, Yes, Paul, So.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Jim Harbaugh's show cause order, which prevents him from coaching
or doing anything with a college football program for ten years.
It's show cause two Dan show cause one is in
already a year in and that goes for three more years.
So his tenure show cause order starts in twenty twenty
eight and goes to twenty thirty eight.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
So caused me the money show caused me the money, Yes, Todd.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
And they sprinkle in coach more. He can't coach the
first two games this year in the first game of
next season, then that's supposed to be something we're supposed
to get excited about.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
In terms of And then you know, I guess the
fact that they kind of held up the investigation hurt them.
Like Tom Brady that if you're forthcoming, maybe they're a
little more lenient. But if you're going to delay and
delay and delay, I think they're appealing this. This fine
for them, but I wonder, you know, if did they

(21:43):
make it better by delaying and deleting messages and trying
to avoid you know, this information getting out? What's that?
You know? Hey, that was worth it because we didn't
want some of this stuff to get out. Yes, Tod, shouldn't.

Speaker 10 (21:56):
There appeal just be I just wanted to get everybody
to guys say, thank you very much, we are accepting publishment.
This is wonderful. We'll make up that thirty million dollars
fairly quickly, and thanks for keeping we can keep the championship.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I would do a zoom call, and I would just
bring the national title trophy there and then just have
it there and just say, just want to say thank
you a very thorough investigation, and I'd have somebody polishing
the trophy. While we're on the zoom call, here is
Jim Harbaugh with a detailed answer about the penalty levied

(22:26):
against Michigan.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Do you have any comment on the latest sessions for Nancier?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Like I said to you last year, not engaging. You should, Jim,
you should, like a little bit. You should be fair
to what happened, be honest about what happened. You know,
at least at the journalist in me is hoping that
maybe one time Jim would just you know, all right,

(22:54):
I'm going to talk about this and then that's it. Now.
I don't blame him. I wouldn't say a damn word,
be like, yeah, that's a long time ago. Who has
it better than we do? Nobody? Okay, wait, come on,
are we out of practice?

Speaker 6 (23:12):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (23:13):
I thought for a week, I thought you're set up
to a non nobody because a lot of people have
a belt than.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
That same nobody has it better than Jim Harball. He's good,
all right?

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yeah, see Michigan certainly doesn't these days. What is he
supposed to say? I mean, he's generally a fairly liked fella.
Is he supposed to get up there and be like, ah, yeah,
we did a bunch of stuff weren't supposed to do,
but uh sucks for Michigan. But I'm here now, so
looking forward to the season and Justin Herbert's gonna have
a big year and uh yeah, hey, sorry about that,

(23:43):
but uh sure was fun while lasted.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, here's my question. What if Jim Harball was
still the head coach at Michigan, if he did something
so egregious or it was part of something so egregious,
and they gave him a ten year ban from coaching
college football, would they have taken him off the sidelines? Like,

(24:07):
let that sink in. Jim can't come back to college football.
It's sort of the NCAA's wings saying, see what we did, man,
he can't come back. He's not coming back. He wanted
to go into the NFL to win a Super Bowl
after winning a championship at Michigan. But if he was
still there, would they give him a ten year ban?
And the answer is no, Yes, Marvin I think you're wrong.

(24:31):
They would have banned it for ten years.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
You can't coach against Central Michigan for the next ten
years starting this year.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
All Right, you can coach, but you can't have somebody
steal your signs. Jim Okay, all right, all right, but
that was a two year and they revealed this on
a Friday, didn't they? Was that one of these news dumps,
as we like to say, you want something to kind
of go away, just throw it out there on a Friday.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, PAULI and your guy Connor Stallions. He got an
eight year show cause. They have a lot of details
about his report, Like he threw his phone into a pond.
He threw the literally it's I.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Mean I dropped it. I didn't throw it. I mean
I dropped it into his an accident.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Actually it was a good throw, rolled right through left.
He threw all the film and the computer discs into
a pond. This is in the NCAA's report that you
could find online.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
It's in detail.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's wild.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
They kind of just set I mean, it's all there.
But now does the Fab five can they get their
banner back? I mean, NCAA seems pretty leanent on Michigan,
find Fab five, get a hold of Chris Weber, see
if they can get their banner reinstated up there. The
impermissible benefit, you know, can Jim Jim Tressel get his

(25:52):
job back at Ohio State? Does USC get their national
trophy back?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah, Paulie, Yeah, USC football was not accused of cheating
on off the field in any way in that NCA
where they stripped him of that two thousand and four title.
It was impermissible benefits for Reggie Bush and that cost them.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Oh boy, all right, so it's over.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yes, Marvin isn't stripping wins the stupidest thing ever because
we can't unsee what we saw. Like I can't unsee
what Reggie Bush did at USC and what USC did
winning those national championships.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, it's like Louisville when they won the national title
with Rick Patina. I mean you see it, and you
know everybody knew what they were watching was real. Like
with Michigan, they were cheating with getting evidence, you know,
film from other teams that they were going to play
Reggie Bush. He didn't, he didn't cheat us. He was incredible.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, I'm having a hard time understanding the Michigan punishment
because we're sort of like, ah, they got off easy,
and yet it was still one of the harshest, most
extreme penalties of all time.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Financial. Right, you want to hurt a team, you want
to hurt a coach, you want to hurt a fan base.
No postseason ban, right, that's where you'll get their attention.
Thirty million dollars. I don't think that who cares? Is
it more bid?

Speaker 5 (27:19):
It's about individual accountability, Like the individual sanctions are really
really terrible, but the school sanction is like, all right,
well it's money and stuff. But we seem to just
have this idea of like, ah, it's just money. You'll
get thirty million, no big deal. Is they throw that
away in paper clips?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah? I mean the financial part of it to me sounds,
you know, like, oh wow, that's heavy, But I don't
think it is. If you said that was the penalty
for Alabama, Ohio State, you know us just throw out
any of these big time program penn State, They'll be like, ight,
we're good. But if you take away a postseason ban

(27:56):
a couple of years postseason ban, that's when you get
there tension. Yeah, Paul, the.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Only penalty that has an effect on future recruiting for Michigan,
a twenty five percent reduction in football official visits for
the twenty five twenty six season just this year, not
even the next three years of the probation.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Air quotes.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Also, the Big Ten in the News saw this with
Pete Thamil of the mothership. Big Ten has considered the
idea of expanding the postseason from twenty four to twenty
eight or twenty four or twenty eight teams, I should say,
and according to sources very early stages, the proposal eliminates

(28:35):
conference title games, which is good. They should do away
with them, and a large number of automatic bids will
happen for the four power leagues. Let's say you do
the twenty eight team model. Big ten in the SEC
each gets seven automatic bids, so there's half of the
field is the Big ten in the SEC ACC and

(28:56):
Big ten would get five each. Now twenty four of
your twenty eight teams will come from those four conferences.
Then you would have two automatic bids for non power
for conferences and two at large teams Notre Dame. The
twenty eighteen format would put twenty playoff games on campus,

(29:18):
which is what we've been saying for a long time
that would then, let's see College Football Playoff Committee would
seed the field and pick the at large teams as well.
We have twelve team playoff this year. There's discussion of
sixteen teams maybe next year. But remember when I said,

(29:42):
give me just a four team playoff and I would
be fine. We blew through that stop sign. Now it's twelve,
Now it's sixteen. Why don't we go to twenty eight.
They're going to be rivaling March Madness here soon.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yes, Marvin, don't you worry Team twenty nine is going
to be curious when they don't make the tournament.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah. No, then we're gonna have a play in tournament. Yes, Pauline,
this is.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
One of those where you don't want to be hyperbolic,
but that would crush the importance of the regular season.
A big game versus A and M versus Texas or
whatever may be, would be a really cool exhibition game.
It'd be for bragging rights during the regular season, but
it would impact nothing on the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Don't we have the game in Dublin coming up next week?
Is it k State?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Iowa State?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah? I think that's now? Is that week zero? Or
because it's before week zero, but I think that is it.
The twenty third is the first game.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, Paul, Saturday, August twenty third noon, Eastern Iowa State,
Kansas State. Then you have some more games that day.
You got like Idaho State, UNLV, Fresno State, Kansas and
a few more.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Okay, all right, Paul and Iowa Paul. Best and worst
through the weekend. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 11 (30:59):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (30:59):
Dan, Well, you kind of stole my best just there.
It is Pharmageddon week ap Top twenty five matchup on
Saturday in Dublin to start the year. Cyclone nations already
showing up asking where the bush light is? From what
I've seen on social media. Worst of the weekend, The
Great Iowa State Fair is now in the books. Gone
for three hundred and fifty five days. Try some great

(31:21):
foods like the Nashville Hot chicken mac and cheese pizza.
This delicious stuff at the state Fair. But when that ends,
that means it's football times.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
I love it. I'm ready. By the way, those going
to Dublin, you will have a great time. Dublin knows
how to entertain you. And just go down to the
Temple Bar had a whole area and just walk around
and celebrate, and then even going out to that stadium.
Stadium is beautiful. Troy in North Dakota, Hi, Troy.

Speaker 11 (31:53):
ADB five eleven. I'm still working on it, uh. In
reference to you guys working on nicknames for Scottie. Since
I live in the Midwest, I only got about five
guys in my own county that look like Scotti, So
I say, just go with the old farmer.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
The old farmer. And now every time I see him
with that beard, it's Carl Spackler from Caddyshack. It's Bill
Murray's character. Buddha in San Francisco, Good morning, Buddha.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
What up DP?

Speaker 12 (32:26):
My sports show Binkie is back, and you guys were
all very much bit even you Fritzy Dan. When you
guys are off air and it's midsummer. Not good, it's good,
but best of the week, best of the weekend. And
my Dodgers giving gusts in LA and I something to
smile about.

Speaker 13 (32:45):
Waking up and spanking and sweeping the fires of San Diego.
Always good and great to see those heaven white uniforms
during the day in La. Absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 12 (32:56):
Best of the weekend.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
And Scotti Scheffler Man, I mean that chip had yesterday
just totally struck my memory of Tiger's iconic mastership that
ended up being a Nike commercial, and I mean it
was absolutely heroic and Dan, just to put it into perspective,
we got a quick set of the day. Scotti has
been world number one for one hundred and eighteen straight
weeks in counting to break Tiger's record.

Speaker 12 (33:21):
Of two hundred and eighty one weeks.

Speaker 13 (33:22):
He has to hold that spot until Halloween of twenty
twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (33:35):

official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Great to
hear from you, Buddha. We'll take a break. Our play

Is the play of the day.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Check this Outscott A.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
Scheffler eighty two feet from the hull. He's off the green,
left in the rough. Lifts this out of the rough,
out of the putting surface. Now bringing it down the
slope towards the hole, slowly moving, now.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Picking up speed. That's getting close to the hall, now
picking up skid, getting close. Scottie Scheffler is right.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Oh my goodness, do you believe it?

(34:55):
on seventeen.

Speaker 14 (34:57):
I mean it's I missing on the I think that's
the most important. It was a chip that we practiced on.
I knew how fast it was, and basically he was
just trying to get it on the on the green
and it's kind of a bullpen back there to where
everything kind of funnels towards it, and I knew it
was just gonna be really fast. To do my best
to get it, get it down there and give myself
a good look for far.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
And when it came out, it came out.

Speaker 14 (35:15):
How we wanted to, and then it started breaking and
started look looking better and better, and yeah, it was
definitely nice see that.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
On going.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
And his reaction is so yeah, a matter of fact,
like okay, he knew the importance of it, and you're
doing it right in front of the guy you're trying
to hold off Robert MacIntyre. If that was Tiger, he
would been fist pumping and you'd have been moving quickly,
you know, to pick up the ball, and Stevie Williams
would give him an awkward high five. It was just

(35:44):
Scheffler going all right. The fact that he practiced the
chip that's what I love. And I love that he
said we he's including his caddy that we or maybe
he's talking about the ball. But Scottie Scheffler, it's his sport.
Is he the most dominant athlete that we have right now?

(36:06):
When you start to think about I saw where shohe
Otani's odds to win the MVP. This is as of
this morning, according to DraftKings minus twenty thousand. It gets
already his Kyle Schwarber is next at plus thirteen hundred.

(36:27):
Just to give you a reference point, Aaron Judge to
win the MVP is minus one seventy. Cayl. Raley is
right there at plus one ten, so he does have
a chance. And I thought Schwarber, given what he's done
for a playoff team, he would be a lot closer
than minus twenty thousand pro Tani to win Kyle Schwarber

(36:50):
plus thirteen hundred. But Otani is you know you got
Schwarber hitting home runs. Now I'll go to the cal
Raleigh Aaron Judge. You know that situation is a whole
lot different. I think because if you start to look
at this, Judge leads all of baseball batting average, on
base percentage, slugging percentage. Now he's had a little bit

(37:13):
of dip in productivity here. Yeah, cal Rawley hitting two
fifty two. I don't think we've had an MVP a
non pitching because I got to include Otani in that.
When he won an MVP, his batting average was I
think sixty two, but.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
I think Roger Maris in nineteen sixty one batted two
sixty seven. That's the lowest batting average for an MVP.
Cal Rawley's at two fifty three. He is on base percentage,
he's twelfth second in slugging percentage second in ops, I
think he would have to hit more home runs than

(37:53):
Aaron Judge hit when he hit sixty two, that would
be the only that'd be the only chance. Oh here's
the number. Otani hit two fifty seven with forty six
homers in twenty twenty one. As era was three point
one point eight. But if you're looking at a you know,
a non pitcher, then that goes back to Roger Maris

(38:13):
in nineteen sixty one. I think he hit three sixty seven.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Yes, Paul, if you assume that Otani's gonna win the
NL MVP this year, he will have won four of
the last five. The only year he didn't win it
was twenty twenty two. He finished second to Aaron Judge.
He was an al back then. But he's that close
to winning five in a row, which no one's done.
Bonds won three of four in Pittsburgh, then he won
four straight in San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
If Otani was still in the American League and put
up these numbers, would he be the runaway MVP over
Aaron Judge. It I mean, I'm surprised. Now we look
at Kyle Schwarber and we go he does one thing.
He hits home runs, he gets on base, you know,
on base percentage. But I didn't think there would be
that much separation. That's that's really remarkable. But he's going

(39:02):
to win another MVP. Mark in Michigan. Hi, Mark, what's
on your mind today?

Speaker 15 (39:08):
Good morning, Dan, Dan? What are you guys doing?

Speaker 9 (39:11):
Good?

Speaker 13 (39:11):
Bete?

Speaker 15 (39:12):
I have a third time long time five ten heart
two fifteen and right of the punishment by the NCAA
to the U of M. I have a well known
stat of the day. In twenty twenty three, Michigan was
fifteen and oh and for the last four years in

(39:34):
a row, I have beaten Ohio State two times without
harba or counter stallions on the sideline stant of the.

Speaker 11 (39:43):
Jay Start of the Jay We Love your.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Status Day Statu the Jay stat of the Day brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the Dan Patrick Show. Mark. That's all well and good.
But if that's the case, then why were they cheating?

Speaker 12 (40:03):
All right?

Speaker 15 (40:04):
I don't think they were. I don't think they were
doing anything that anybody else was doing.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Well, that doesn't mean they weren't cheating. Did they cheat
or you can't say that they're doing something that nobody
else did. And if you're going to admit they did
cheat and everybody else cheats, that's one thing you're you're
saying they didn't cheat. Now you're saying they didn't do
anything different than anybody else. So which one is it.

Speaker 9 (40:33):
Both?

Speaker 12 (40:34):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
All right, who is it better than we do? No buddy,
thank you? Mark. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there are other
people who did this, but you got caught. It's like
the Astros. I'm sure there are other teams who do this,
but you got caught. Yeah, Paul, this is just like
the Astros.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
You're kind of allowed to steal signs traditionally by looking
and using your eye and looking at that Michigan's accused of.
So when you scout Ohio State at Michigan, this is it.
This is the whole story. When you scout Ohio State,
you get video from that game, which does not show
the sidelines. If you scout in person and film the
sidelines of Ohio State, that's the improper benefit that you

(41:18):
can't do that.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
One hour in the books. Two more to go. In
this Monday, more phone calls, best and worst of the weekend.
We'll explore the Michigan topic and the potential for a
twenty eighteen playoff coming up next hour. Back after this
with Hour two on this Monday,
