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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Made it to a Thursday. It's our one. Gangs all
here are starting five, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paul, yours truly
and of course the backroom guys a lot of topics
to dive into. Eight seven seven three DP show. If
you'd like to diall us up. Operator Tyler sitting by
as he does very very well, and we say good morning.

(00:25):
If you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner, Thank
you for downloading the app. Watching some baseball last night,
and I've been watching a lot of the Yankees because
the Yankees are on a terror now. You can hit
home runs during the regular season, you can overwhelm teams
during the regular season. This is about postseason success. And

(00:45):
I'm watching the Yankees and I'm going, all right, that's
a lot of home runs that they've hit. They've hit
fourteen home runs in the last two games. That's a
staggering amount. But this lineup has been very good. They
lead Baseball at scoring over five runs per game. As
the calendar creeps to September and dips into October, this
is about pitching, and the Yankees have the sixteenth best

(01:07):
team Era. Now they lost to Garrett Cole before the
season even started. But six months you can have an
elite lineup and bludging your way to some success and
get a playoff berth. But if you're going to win
a World Series, it's going to be about pitching come
September and certainly October. Speaking of pitching, show Hao Tani.

(01:29):
He got roughed up his first career start at corps Field.
He gave up five runs, nine hits in four innings,
also took a comebacker off the leg. He did have
a double on a walk to extend his on base
streak to eighteen games. You know the padres, Oh wow, Wow, Okay,

(01:50):
the padres aren't going away. They're kind of hanging there.
The game behind. Is that our first overrated for show
Heyo tani't.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Be our last either. I'll tell you what the heck
This morning stat of the Day.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading
cards of this program, and for over forty years, tire
Rack's been helping you find the right tires for how
and what and where you drive. Ship fast and free
back by free road hazard protection, Convenient installation options tirec
dot com the way tire buying should be. We had
Mark Pryor on yesterday. He's the Dodgers pitching coach, and

(02:26):
when we talked about show Hayo Tani because they're trying
to give him more innings and I'm watching the game
and he was getting roped up, and they kept him
out there, get a few more pitches, a few more innings,
and then they finally took him out. But Pryor said
that there could be a possibility of a relief appearance

(02:48):
for show Hayo Tani come postseason time, that that is
being considered by the Dodgers. You look at him as
a starting pitcher. Plus, here's the thing with being a close.
If you're going to be in the field, how are
you going to warm up. It's almost as if you're
a DH now you can go warm up. But you
don't want shohy Utani warming up and then not getting

(03:11):
into the game because closers will tell you nothing worse
than you think you're going to go. You get warmed up.
Skip says, go out there, start throwing, and then you
don't get in the game. Can't do that with Otani.
But as far as his starting pitching, he looked pedestrian
last night against Colorado, the new and improved Rockies. But

(03:34):
just some of the baseball that I saw last night, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
I was thinking about this, that Otani's going to win
the MVP going away this year, even though his numbers
are quite a bit down hitting from last year. I mean,
he had fifty nine steals last year. He's down to seventeen.
His homers are a little down, his batting average is
a bit down. But it's like his aura is going
to win him these things. The options the Dodgers had
with him to close, start, play him, not play him,

(03:59):
It's like he's bigger than anyone else.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Clearly, well, he doesn't have competition. Kyle Schwarber is pretty
much one dimensional. But I do think he should be
in the race. I mean he is in the race,
he's in second place. But I was curious Otani getting
roughed up. What that meant for the DraftKings odds for Otani.
So he was minus eight thousand yesterday to win the MVP.

(04:22):
Now it's minus six thousand, so he went down two
thousand points. Kyle Schwarber was plus thirteen hundred yesterday, He's
plus nine hundred. The race is really in the American
League with Aaron Judge minus two hundred and Cayl Rawley
is hanging in there. I think Rawley's got to hit
sixty home runs, at least sixty home runs, and if
he does and you're a playoff team, then maybe he

(04:43):
could win the MVP. But we might see this happening
for the next couple of years with Otani and Aaron
Judge and the PGA Tour Championship. Scotty Scheffler is the
overwhelming favorite starting today. This is Tiger li Okay, I'm
not saying he's playing like Tiger or you know, he

(05:04):
is Tiger, the second coming a Tiger. But how big
of a favorite that's Tiger like? He's plus one fifty.
Rory McElroy is plus eight fifty. That's the second best odds.
This is Tiger Like. College football this weekend, it's week zero.
Iowa State k State in Dublin. I got Iowa State

(05:27):
getting three. I'm curious about Stanford at Hawaii. Believe it
or not, Yeah, Stanford, Stanford getting two and a half
at Hawaii. Fresno State at Kansas. I'm mildly curious about that.
Presno State getting twelve and a half at KU. See,
these are games that I love. These are the nobody

(05:49):
loves us, nobody cares about us, nobody respects us. And
they'd be right, But I do. I love watching these games,
especially early in the season. And maybe it's just I
take any football. But here we aren't two days away
until college football, and we're inching closer to the opening
of the NFL. And speaking of the NFL, we've spoken

(06:12):
about this before, but now you have the possibility of
having a discussion of maybe having the Super Bowl played
in London. Now London wants this, Okay. The UK Ambassador,
Peter Mandelson, lobbies for the Super Bowl to be held

(06:32):
in Britain. He's the US ambassador and he's lobbying for
the first super Bowl outside of the United States. Okay,
this is how these things get started. Now, if the Commissioner,
if somebody has an opportunity to talk to him and say, hey,
what did you think of the UK ambassador talking about

(06:52):
a super Bowl? The Commissioner will say the following, Oh,
you know what, We've considered everything, the growth of the sport,
and we play so many games. Now the international you know,
part portion of this, and you know it's something that
will take into consideration. But as for now, we have
the Super Bowl and we have you know, cities that

(07:13):
are locked in over the next x x number of years.
I mean, but he will address it. I don't know
if he would give you a no comment. If he
gave you no comment, well now I'm really interested. But
you might get some political speak from the commissioner. But
I think it's inevitable. And I don't know if there's
any of us who will turn it off or not
tune in because it's not in the United States. Now

(07:37):
you might have a you know that anti American sentiment
and you know, what are we doing and that's our sport. Well,
we shipped out Baseball opening Day. I don't know if
anybody was enraged by that except for me. The NBA
is expanding. Maybe there's a European portion of this, but

(07:57):
I think you're every every sport's looking for growth, even golf. Now,
golf just hired Tiger Woods theo Epstein. They're trying to
look at the future of the sport and they're promising
there's big changes there. But Tiger was named to a
committee that's basically about the future of the sport, and
they promise big changes. And I don't know what those

(08:19):
big changes could be, but every sport is looking for
more revenue. How do we grow the game? And there's
going to be a separate TV package for the international game.
So the NFL is going to sell that off for
a billion dollars because now they have more revenue. We've
added another game. Now they'll add another game after that,
and then you're going to have maybe more international games.

(08:41):
But I think this is just inevitable with the growth
of the game baseball. Baseball's talking about expansion, maybe four
new teams in here. Maybe they're going to have realignment.
Maybe we don't have an American League, International League. And
I know if you're of my age or anybody over fifty,
you're probably saying he's ruining the sport. They're going to

(09:02):
ruin the sport. All of these commissioners know where is
the next piece of revenue because they have to beholden.
They're beholden to the owners because the owners are saying,
we got to make more money. We got to make
more money. College football we're at twelve. Now we'll go
to fourteen or sixteen, and now you have at least

(09:23):
the possibility proposals on the table of going to twenty
four to twenty eight. March Madness sixty eight, well you
got to go to seventy two or seventy six. Every
one of these sports, it's about the growth. How do
we grow it, how do we make more money? And
that's happening right now, happening right now with baseball, happening
right now with the NBA, happening right now with the NFL,

(09:47):
and golf is trying to grow the sport again. And
you have the competition with Live Tour and now Tiger's
involved in this, theo Epstein, who's a baseball I mean,
he's involved in this, and maybe there is something that
they'll do that I don't know, what could be drastic.

(10:07):
I think, you know, maybe the number of events. I
like relegation, but you know, relegation. They have relegation on
Livetour and Ian Poulter I think just got relegated. Why
I know that, I don't know. I have no life,
but I think that's the interesting part of watching what

(10:28):
they're trying to do and not. You can't stay stagnant
there's some things this Baseball Commissioner has done that I
think are positive. I think that he's he earned criticism
with talking about the World Series trophy was just a
piece of metal. When talking about the Astros, that was stupid.
The Pete Rose portion of putting him on the ballot

(10:49):
or making him eligible, that came from pressure from President Trump,
Roger Goodell. He's a businessman. It's growth of the game.
It's not necessarily or the betterment of the game. But
I don't think anybody's going to tune out the Super
Bowl if it's played in London. But I do think
we're going there. I don't know when, maybe it's ten years,

(11:12):
but maybe in our lifetime we're going to have a
Super Bowl outside the United States? Yes, Todd, Is.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
There anything that these leaves can do? You know, while
they're chasing the next dollar and the greed and the
revenue that would really turn the sports fan off. They
may not love it, but ultimately, if you like sports,
you're gonna watch. If there's extra college basketball teams in
the tournament, if there's extra college football teams in the playoffs,
Say there really anything that they can do where it's
like Wow, that's too much. No thanks, I'm not watching
this anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, I wondered about this, and this is not on
the par of this, obviously, but when we were doing
Sports Center, and I remember my boss at the time,
Steve Bornstein, he said, we're going to re air Sports
Center all morning long, and I thought that's stupid. And
then all of a sudden, I realized there was a

(11:58):
whole generation that wasn't able to stay up at eleven
o'clock or one o'clock in the morning. They got to
watch that in the morning. And you guys are probably
the demo that we appealed to. You got to have
Sports Center reairing starting at six in the morning and
went all morning long, and it would be the same
Sports Center, but there you were catering to an audience

(12:21):
that was missing out on staying up and watching all
the highlights. And it turned out to be a brilliant move.
But I don't know if can you get too much football?
Mark Cuban talked about this, was it pigs get fat
and hogs get slaughtered And we haven't found that yet.

(12:42):
We haven't found that. You can be you'll push yourself
away from the sports buffet.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, Paul I will say, there's one thing the fans
are having and going to have a problem with this
upcoming year with football. If you want to watch all
the NFL games, like four or five years ago, if
you got the Red Zone packet, you could watch everything.
One check, two hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
You were set for the season. Now you need Netflix, Peacock,
Amazon Prime, your basic cable channel for your local You're
getting too. You need like seven different packages or subscriptions
to watch all the NFL games, and it's it's it's
a labor to order all those and sign up for those,
and it's costly. You're getting to the point. I did
some research on this. If you want to watch all

(13:26):
the NFL games this season, it's probably gonna cost you
eight hundred plus dollars in subscriptions, and four years ago
I would say it was about one ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Five years, which is still expensive as hell, one hundred
and nine down, but worth it. But it's it's not
nearly one thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Back when DirecTV had the Red Zone and you could
sign up for DirecTV's Red Zone, you got the red
Zone where you chopped up all the games. But then
the you could choose which game you go to. Now
you're looking at eight hundred bucks for the entire season
plus to get every package.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
And it's not going down by the way. Nope, it's
not gonna be. Hey, they're going to reduce this. Hey,
loyal fans, we're gonna give you a break, a bargain here.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes, it's not unlike trying to watch soccer where uh
you know, Peacock has the Premier League, Apple has MLS,
Paramount has USL, Fubo has the French League, ESPN has
the Spanish League. Now at least those are that's worldwide.
You're trying to get all these things. This is one

(14:29):
what Paul is referring to us one league in one country.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yes, yes, tod, but you have to believe they've done
or they're doing some type of research in the NFL offices.
What is the absolute most we can charge these people
along with the networks where they'll still keep paying so
we don't hit that spot where we're gonna lose viewership,
We're gonna lose dollars. They're gonna push it to the
last possible cent that we're willing to spend.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Why wouldn't they well, maybe if the commissioner comes on
the show, I can ask in such questions. All right, Well,
come up with the pole question and uh oh, it's
Urban Meyer talking about Jim Harbaugh and not in a
good way. We'll have that for you coming up next here,
Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 7 (15:16):
He's Mike Krman, I'm Dan Bayer, and we have a
brand new fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flex.

what you need to do at that minute, and also
look ahead of what's coming up in the fantasy football world.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
That's right, Dan.

Speaker 8 (15:36):
Every week we're gonna scour the waiver wire to find
the pickups to turbo boost your fantasy lineup, sit starts,

the competition.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carmon and
meet Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts and
wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
USA Today did a breakdown on the NFL twenty twenty
five ewing plan. Now, this is as low as you
can get, This is as streamline as you could get.
But CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC one average over the air
and tennis forty dollars CBS, Fox, NBCABC, a standard Sunday ticket,

(16:17):
annual subscription three seventy nine and then a monthly based
subscription you pay four times. To YouTube that's seventy three dollars,
So that's a total of six hundred and seventy one dollars. Netflix,
they're Christmas games, that's a one time fee of eight dollars.
Amazon Prime Thursday Night standard monthly fee of thirty six dollars.

(16:38):
You have to pay that four times. Peacock Exclusive Games,
that's a premium monthly subscription eight dollars, but you also
get the Dan Patrick Show with that, you're looking at
Monday Night Football. A monthly subscription to ESPN plus that's
four times that you pay twelve dollars. ESPN Direct streaming

(17:01):
service or a monthly subscription or a bundle in there,
and it's around eight hundred to almost nine hundred dollars.
Five years ago it was two fifty, so when you
see these TV deals and you go, oh, that's awesome, Well,
you're helping pay for those TV deals, Yes, pauling.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
In places like Netflix, Amazon, and Peacock. They're all in
on these NFL standalone games like a Playoff game for
one hundred and ten million dollars Peacock paid, or Netflix
or Amazon. But their goal is to get you to
sign up for the Netflix, Amazon and Peacock and not cancel,
because most people don't cancel. They're either lazy or they're
not mining the eight bucks a month and they just
keep going and going, and that one ten million that

(17:44):
they spend on the game they get back three times.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, so I signed up for Hulu to watch the
Jennifer Aniston Reese Witherspoon that morning showed that that series
they had understandable. That was it. That's all I've ever
watched on hul I think was Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Well,
Jennifer Aniston, Yeah, you do sign up for these things.
Then all of a sudden, you go, uh did I pay?

(18:10):
Am I paying for this? Yes? You are? And sometimes
I don't even know anymore. It'll be like, okay, that's
where Sometimes my wife will go, you know, we are
paying for this, and I go, yeah, yeah, like I
act like I know what I'm paying for. It's just
but it does add up if you want to watch everything.

(18:30):
But I don't know what that means. If you're an
average fan. Do you go, I'm not going to sign
up for Amazon Prime. I'm not going to sign up
for Peacock. I'm not going to do that, you know,
Or I just want to. I want them to make
it easier if if I watch one of these Thursday
night games, I don't want it to be so difficult

(18:50):
to get into it and then if I want to
get out of it, then then go back into it.
That's my biggest, you know, beef with them.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, Paul, they're banking on I'm reading some stories from
Sports Business Journal, and the bank is if your team
is in a playoff game and it's on Peacock or
it's on Amazon or whatever it may be, you're shelling out.
You're not gonna sit at home and miss your team
in a random playoff game. Let's say you're a Arizona
Cardinals fan and you sneak into the playoffs and that
game is on Netflix. You're ordering Netflix.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, and then you're keeping Netflix. But chances are you
probably already have Netflix so you could watch Happy Gilmore too. Yes.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
In the same story from the Sports Business Journal, they
said that sports are bigger for Netflix, Amazon and Peacock
because movies don't churn and go. They're not fresh movies
and TV shows and streaming as much as there's fresh sports,
and sports might be the bigger play for these subscription services.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I was teasing before we went to commercial break Urban Meyer,
who's an analyst for Fox their high noon kickoff, Big
noon Kickoff, and he thinks the NFL should suspend Jim Harbaugh.
Here is Urban Meyer.

Speaker 9 (20:03):
There's an elephant in the room here, boys, though, that
no one's talking about. When Jim Trussell was fired at
Ohio State and he was given a suspension, Roger Goodell,
commissioner of the Aashall Football League, came out and said
that we're going to honor that violate. They're going to
honor that suspension. And you remember he went to Indianapolis
Colts to work in the replay room or something. The

(20:26):
Colts because the respect they had for the NCAA and
the suspension. Do you realize suspended Jim Trussel, so he
was unable to perform his duties for the first six
games of the year for the Indianapolis Colts. I think
we all know the answer. Yeah, any chance that Roger
Goodell and the NFL of course.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Not okay, And he's right, that happened in twenty eleven.
That was on the Triple Option podcast. But now the
first thing you're going to think of is, well, that's
a former Ohio State coach talking about a Michigan coach.
But he is correct. And remember Terrell prior they were
involved in the tattoo gate where they were trading in

(21:09):
some of their Ohio State gear to get tattoos. I
don't think Roger Goodell is going to address this. I
mean he should address it, but right now there's no
comment from the NFL. But there is precedent and they
created president. Now what do you do. They at least
have to announce that they're not suspending Jim Harball. And

(21:33):
here's why. I think you owe that to what happened
to Terrell Pryor and Jim Tressel. And granted it seems
like it was eons ago, it was twenty eleven, but
you did Esta establish precedents?

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah, PAULI, Yeah, Irvin Meyer does have his facts right
on this. This was twenty eleven. Roger Goodell said he
agreed with the Colt's decision to suspend Jim Trussell for
the first six games as a replay assistant, not like
a head coach or assistant. And he was followed up
by asking would you guys have suspended him if the
Colts didn't. He said basically yes, and he agreed that

(22:06):
it's part of the NFL's policy to enforce NCAA rules.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, he got a tenure, show cause what exactly does
that mean? Because Jim Tressel lost his job at Ohio
State and then the Coles hired him to be he
was kind of worked in their replay room. He was
a replay assistant and he got fired or he got
suspended for six games after getting fired fired at Ohio State.

(22:37):
But I would like, if you know, the commissioner is
in front of the media or he's on a radio show,
TV show, to just ask just say, hey, Urban Meyer
brought this up, and there is precedent, will Jim Harball
be suspended? And there might be language here and you
know that they can. They can get around this because

(22:58):
he wasn't suspended. Why he was suspended at Michigan, but
for this he's not still there, and then leaving to
go to the NFL. He left before the penalties. You
know we're handed down, Yes, Todd.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
Getting a little itch to send a little note to
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
No, no, no, no, it doesn't matter anymore.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
What what do you mean.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's a better it's a better story if the commissioner
doesn't come on. I mean we've gone down this road
for ten years now. I mean we can get a
maybe a response to the story. There you go, How
about that? That seems reasonable. Hate to bother you. We're
not asking for the commissioner. Could you give us a
comment from the league office on what herban Meyer had

(23:43):
to say about suspending Jim Harbaugh. But you know, do
it in your flowery way and be very nice. We
always play nice. Yeah, of course you do, yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Historically, Todd has always received an answer to his emails,
no matter how out of place the question may be.
I think we're gonna get non response on this one.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh you think they go radio silent?

Speaker 4 (24:03):
I would if I were them, I will radio silent
on this one.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
We're just getting ready.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
For the season. Thank you, talkie, appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Does that count as a response?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
We're onto week one, We're on to Cowboys Eagles. Yeah, well,
Urban Meyer's correct. I just hope that people don't look
at this from a Ohio state versus Michigan angle and
look at it as Urban is telling you what happened
in twenty eleven. Is that applicable to Jim Harbaugh and

(24:33):
should he be suspended? I'd just like to hear whatever
language they use or whatever they're drawing up. I'm curious
about that. All right, let's play you know what. I
was going to play, the backup quarterback game, but I
want to wait. I need a little more time here,
because we had a moment yesterday where a backup quarterback

(24:55):
was very emotional, and we'll have that for you coming up.
A Seaton poll quest student today, what do we have?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm so happy that you asked, and because if I
had a dime for every time we did this poll question,
I'd be retired by now. This one's from Paul whose
career would you rather have? Chase Daniel or Isaiah Pichecko?
Whose career would you rather have Chase Daniel or Isaiah Pichecko.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
How many times are we going to do this topic?
This old one, You're right, feels like once a season
recycling content. I know it's summer, but this is ridiculous. Yes, yes, Paul,
here's the rationale in this one.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Chase Daniel was a pure backup quarterback for thirteen years
in the NFL. He started only five games. He never
played this in a big time playoff game, led a
super Bowl whatever may be right. He made forty million
dollars doing that, okay. Isaiah Pichecko is a starting NFL
running back going into his fourth year. He's played in

(25:55):
two Super Bowls. He was important to those Super Bowl
runs and Super Bowl wins. He's paid less than three
million dollars in his three years in the NFL, and
my guess is it's gonna be tough for him to
get a big second contract. He probably will make ten, eleven,
twelve million dollars if all goes well in his NFL career.
Based off that, whose career would you want?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Isaiah Pichecko like, I want to play? I mean, Chase
Daniel was so close to playing he didn't get in,
he says, close as you can be. But he never
got in five games in his career. And you know,
he proved to be a great backup quarterback because he
always had a job for whatever, thirteen fourteen years, Isaiah

(26:40):
Pichecko got to play in Super Bowls. Yeah he was.
He was, you know, extremely valuable to the Chiefs. So
I would say, Isaiah Pachecko, Okay, if you factor in
the money, which that's what you're doing, I understand why
you would say, I'll take Chase Daniel probably gonna live
to be one hundred, doesn't have any or pains. I'm
gonna guess, and uh, Isaiah Pichecko may play football for

(27:05):
three more years. Does anybody side with me with Isaiah Pichecko?
Marvin Heck, now, okay, you want the forty million in
the backup quarterback?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Okay, Todd more money, less concussions, less wobbling around the
rest of my life with me, and Shoulder said, yeah,
I'm gonna take a Chase.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okay, seating, not even for a second. I'm taking forty
million dollars okay too.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, all right, Paul.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
This is really tough because I side with you on
you want to play and be a factor and feel
like you contributed to titles to titles in counting the
wear and tear and the lack of money are too overwhelming,
and Chase Daniel's favor I would want to be Chase Daniel.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, all right, well then maybe it won't a good
poll question. Has a great pole question, No, because you
guys were all in agreement there, Yeah, Seaton, Uh.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Well, if you look right, I don't. I don't know
if this evens it out at all. But Aaron Jones,
formerly of the Packers, currently of the Vikings, he's made
about the same amount of money as Chase Daniel. Okay,
they're both at about forty something million dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, but I want to play in a super Bowl,
win a super Bowl. Aaron Jones had a good career
in Green Bay and got his money. I mean, Pacheco
won two Super Bowls. That's pretty good. Maybe gets another one.
I don't know if you'll get you know, a bigger contract. Yes, Marvin, how.

Speaker 10 (28:41):
Much money do those rings equal out to?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Twenty million dollars apiece? Therefore it's even.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, he's gonna have a ton of awesome stories for
when he retires and starts going to work is nine
to five and be like, yes, I remember anyway, when
I was in the Super well.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
The second one.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
That's the first one. That was the first one. Anyway,
what are you guys doing for lunch? You want to
go over to the calf?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
His friends get together with him and Isaiah comes in.
They're like, oh god, here it comes to super So
hey Isaiah, how are you?

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Guys? Did I tell you that first sup now second
Super Bowl? Wes in Illinois? Hi, Wes? What's on your
mind today?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Good?

Speaker 11 (29:24):
Mordan Dan, I just PAULI really hit a button with
me with the fragmentation of the viewing market. That's exactly
what happened to me with the WNBA. Became a w
NBA fan last summer with a million other folks in
Caitlin Clark, and so I signed up immediately on YouTube

(29:46):
for the w NBA League Pass and I got to
watch every single play of Caitlin Clark all summer last year.
It was a dream summer. Made me a WNBA fan
for life. For certain. This year, I decided, oh no,
I'm going to give that money to the WNBA instead,

(30:06):
So I went directly to their platform, signed up for
the league past oh this year, I have missed four
or five of the Fever games because of being on
platforms that aren't on YouTube TV.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well, the more popular it gets, the more fragmented it gets.
Because the NFL they've drained NBCCBS and ABC and Fox.
Now they want to have the big time money, Netflix, Amazon,
big time money, and that's why they're selling it. That's
that's why we'll have we'll have a separate TV package

(30:43):
for international games and it'll be a bit another billion
dollars that they bring in, if not more Lucas in Texas. Hey, Luke,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Dan, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 12 (30:59):
You know, hey, we are close to football season. It's Scott.
I'm glad to have you guys back. Nothing says that
everyone is dialed in quite like the boss dialing in
from his vacation cabin in Maine. But I'm excited to
have the team ready to go. And you know you're
talking about NFL media and future options. You know, there's

(31:19):
this thing called the Banning Casts. Perhaps you've heard of it,
and I'd like to pitch something for the Dan Patrick Show.
I brought this up a few months ago, and I
think it's an idea worth exploring. We all know that
Dan loves to go down to his basement, have a
drink or too watch a game in relative silence. I
would like to have a side by side on Thursday
night on NBC this upcoming game between the Cowboys and

(31:42):
the Eagles, where Dan Patrick takes a real gamble and
watches right next to Shyan Irving a Cowboys game live
and in person. Because nothing would be funnier than seeing
Dan a little in his cups, maybe just silently giggling
right next to a shade that is losing his mind,
live and in person. What do you think?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
I don't think it's a bad idea if I thought
I could get an audience with that, and we just
did it in house where we watched the game here
at the Man Cave. I don't want to have a
camera down in my sanctuary in my basement, but we
could do it here where we watch a Cowboy game
with Shay, have beverages. I could smoke my cigar. That's

(32:26):
a possibility. I won't rule that out. I don't know
if other dan etz would want to do that. I
don't know if Shae want Shay is real when he
talks about the Cowboys. By the way, it's not an act.
He gets apoplectic. You can't talk to him. It crushes him,
which is great TV. It's all about content, and the

(32:48):
worse the Cowboys play, the better content we're going to have.
Although seeing him excited when the Cowboys do well, that
could be interesting. The Gambling Podcast will have that later
on today after the show Bad Larry Dylan and also
Shan Irving will take a break. You know, Seeton, I
was wondering about this pole question. Should Jim Harbaugh be suspended?

(33:11):
I wonder what people think about that? Should he be
suspended by the NFL. We'll take a break. Play of
the Day after this.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Oh my God.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Of the day. This is the play of the day.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Check this out.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Payoff pitch Deevers swings hits into the air to a
very deep right field Bernando's back. He is at the wall.
He will leap up and he did it again.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Fernando Tatis over the right field wall.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Did it a couple of years ago out there and
almost the exact same spot and one of the great
home run you will see this season.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
What a play Padre is Radio Network. Since July twenty sixth,
the Padres have the second best record in baseball at
sixteen and seven. They're within one game of the Dodgers
right now, and the win secures at least is split
in a four game series with the Giants. The Padres
haven't lost a home series since dropping two of three

(34:23):
to the Dodgers in mid June. That's your play of
the day. Play of the day brought to you by
Tyrol Pickleball shoes. Yes, they are purpose built for pickleball.
T y Rol. Remember the name and it'll help your
game play longer, move quicker, and look like a pro
at tyrolpickleball dot com. What do you think of that

(34:44):
poll question? Should Jim Harball be suspended by the NFL?
Urban Meyer brought this up on a podcast. We'll talk
to Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback. He'll join us
coming up in about thirty minutes from now, Yes, Seaton
right now.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Early results have seven five percent of the audience saying no,
he shouldn't be suspended. I don't know if that's because
suspending an NFL coach for what happened during his college
career is pretty stupid. Shouldn't have happened to Jim Trestle,
So why are we doubling down on it and wanting
it to happen to more people? But I'm not sure
if that's what this represents. But if the commissioner came

(35:21):
out and said, in retrospect, we shouldn't have done that
to Jim Trussell, that was heavy handed, now, then that
allows you to, you know, move on from Jim Harball here,
and I Jim Tressell, call my lawyer and say, why
don't we look into that?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
That could be Yeah, yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
It's like a two part answer. I believe that Jim
Trestle and Drell Prior should not have been suspended in
a league that they weren't in when they did their
crimes air quotes crimes. But once the NFL sets precedent,
fairness is a big deal, and due process should be
a big deal for everybody. If I'm Jim Trussell, I'm like,
how about equal discipline?

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Years later, Yeah, we'll talk to Albert Breer the Monday
morning quarterback, he'll join us coming up. Let me see
kurtin Michigan. Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Good morning?

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Dan as A. I'm a disenfranchised Colts fan today and
yesterday and the day before anyway, and it got me thinking,
should a person switch fandom and allegiances?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (36:31):
Or no? I'll let you guys chop it up on air. Thanks.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
How old are you, Kurt? Oh? We lost him. I
think if you get to a certain age, then I
think you're in for the long haul. Kids nowadays, at
least my kids, they fall in love fall out of
love with their teams, and it might depend on if
a player they like moves on to another team. Back

(36:58):
in our day or my day, most of the guys
stayed with their teams. I mean, I was very fortunate
to have the Big Red Machine, where you had Johnny
Bench there his entire career. Pete played there a long time,
Joe Morgan a long time, Tony Prez, a long time,
George Foster. You had these guys who were always there,

(37:18):
and therefore it was easier. But if Pete Rose goes
to Montreal or Philadelphia, then you might change your allegiance.
Nowadays but back then, that was your team, no matter
who was on. Tom sever comes to the Cincinnati Reds,
all right, didn't like him with the Mets. Well he's
one of us now. But I think it's different now.

(37:38):
But if you get to be forty five or fifty
years of age, you've kind of I mean, you're in
for the long haul.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
Yeah, Paul, I think you're right, because if you bail
on your team and they go on to win a title,
you can't enjoy that title, and you shouldn't be allowed
to enjoy that title nor watch that title.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yes, ud.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Not only that you've invested so much emotional screaming at
the TV and going to games and merchandise and everything
affiliated with your team to all of a sudden give
up on them, regardless of how well they do it
the rest of the way. It just seemed very odd,
at the very least, to be pulling for another team
all of a sudden after all those years.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah. Just imagine if you say you're a Cubs fan
and you go, you know, I can't, I can't do
this anymore. Are you a Red Sox fan? And they're like,
I don't know, two thousand and two, I can't I
can't do this anymore, and then all of a sudden
magic happens. That's the beauty of being a fan. It's
it's when you're down, when you get back up, when

(38:38):
you get to be a champion. And most franchises get
that moment. I mean, we're waiting for the Lions. The Lions,
that's one of the great stories that hasn't been told yet.
If they get a chance to win a Super Bowl,
or Buffalo or the Cleveland Guardians. You know, those teams
that have struggled for decades and come close. And I

(39:01):
think that's the important part. Cleveland's come really close. Buffalo
they got to four Super Bowls. That's where you know
you're there. The Lions, Lions, the last couple of years,
you could say we're the best team in football. They
just didn't get there.

Speaker 10 (39:14):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, it's like being a New Orleans Saints
fan and you had to struggle through all those years
of the paper bag on your head and being the Aints,
and then when Drew Brees gets there, you guys finally
win in Super Bowl. I don't think there's anything that
tops that. Well, you've been sorry for so long and
you finally reached the mountaintop. Well, then you live off
of what happened that one year. When all else fails,

(39:35):
you just you have to go. You know what, Let
me let me go back some watch some highlights when
we won the Super Bowl. Let me open up the
scrap book there. Yes, Mark, Yeah, asked the eighty five Bears. Wow,
I'm right over here, I'm right over here. Nobody has
dined out more than eighty five Bears fans.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Nobody, No one, including the eighty five Bears who dined out,
still dining out. When do you go to that town,
when you go to that city, it's all about the
eighty five Bears.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
It is.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
They won one super Bowl. It's a big one though.
Oh yeah it was. We should talk about it. We
should chomp. Yeah, let's spend a couple hours on that. Yes, Tod,
what would.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Happen if you told the wrong guy in Chicago? You know,
I just want to let you know that was forty
years ago. This thing you keep talking about, how messy
that might get the local bar.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I don't know if you have to tell them how
long ago it was. I mean, I'm hoping they can
do math. But I've seen Paul's report cards, so I
don't know. Fairpoint, Yes, well, the shadow gets bigger every year.
It gets bigger every year because you're farther away from
it unless people are around who enjoyed it. So it's
their image gets bigger, not smaller. Coming up, we'll talk

(40:49):
to Albert Breer. We'll ask him about the NFL with
Jim Harbaugh, should he be suspended for crimes at Michigan. Also,
former NFL running back Eric Dickerson said that he had
a source who told him the league told teams not
to draft Shador Sanders. We'll hear from Eric Dickerson coming

(41:10):
up next hour. More of your phone calls is well
on this Thursday. Fritzi's here, Seaton's here, Marv Paully yours
truly once again. The gambling podcast Dan Patrick Takes a
Gamble will be available at danpatrick dot com coming up
after the show hour two on this Thursday. Straight Ahead
