Heights Been winner Matt liinerd A little bit later on
former backup quarterback Chase Daniel. He will join us a
little bit later on as well. Big basketball tonight. Who
(01:08):
would have thought middle of November Celtic's Calves spicy As
the Calves try to stay undefeated, they're getting five points.
In Boston, Texans handled the Cowboys, and the Texans now
seven and four. The Cowboys drop to three and seven
after three straight twelve win seasons. The sky is falling
(01:30):
in Dallas, literally and figuratively. The team came in with
playoff aspirations, maybe Super Bowl aspirations, but here we are
ten games deep and it's time to accept the Cowboys
for who they really are. It's a poorly built team
that continues to fail to get out of its own way.
They were embarrassed last night at home, so they're in
the same conversation with the Patriots and the Panthers. Nobody
(01:54):
saw this when coming. The Star on the helmet continues
to keep Dallas in the news, and they will contin
you to hear about Micah Parsons contract. We'll hear about
the prospects of teams or players that the team has
fallen in love with. With the draft, Jerry World maybe
wanting to tear down the stadium and build a new stadium,
and part of the roof was falling and caving in
(02:16):
last night. But the relationship with the Cowboys is always
interesting because you either love them or you hate them.
There's no middle ground. And what you're seeing right now
this is a juicy little payback to all those victories
and all the attention that they receive. For a three
and seventeam, we'll start with Ceedee Lamb talking about what
(02:39):
it's like to play for the Cowboys and when you
face these opponents each week.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Obviously everybody is looking to embarrasses, right they have their
opportunity when they do they try to, you know, put
us out. And we had so much success over the
last few years as far as in the regular season.
It's starting about us right now. So for us, we
gotta find ways to find ways of Joe together, play together.
Oh that's the thing out.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you know, the TV executives have to be wringing
their hands because they love Dallas. You got Dallas and
the Giants, the annual Thanksgiving Day game, then you have
two primetime games on Monday night. You got Week fourteen
against the Bengals, and then you have Week sixteen against
the Buccaneers. We love watching Dallas and those who love
(03:26):
watching Dallas succeed and those watching Dallas fail. You get
a whole lot of one and a little bit of
the other one this season. And Cooper Rush did okay
last night. He's kind of non threatening. I don't know
if they get to the point where they go, let's
just see if Trey Lance can play football. You gave
up a fourth round pick, which doesn't sound like a lot,
(03:47):
but in the NFL that's a big deal. Look at
the receivers who have been traded for fourth round picks
this year. Maybe see if Trey Lance can play and
then if not, maybe you're moving on from him and
Cooper Rush. But you're watching that Dallas team and you
keep waiting for something to happen. It's not going to happen.
And Mike McCarthy is basically just kind of, you know,
(04:09):
twisting in the wind. And Jerry will bring in somebody
next year. But there's bigger pictures and we'll go back
months and months ago, maybe last year. And Seaton first
brought this up. He said, you know, Dallas has a
problem because they have a guy who's going to make
fifty or sixty million dollars. At quarterback, they got a
wide receiver going to make thirty million dollars. And then
(04:30):
you have a defensive player who's probably going to be
or want to be, the highest defensive player in the
game as far as how he's paid. You would think
that's a good problem, but it's not because of how
the team is built the other positions and they don't
have a running game, and it is you know, I
look at the Texans. Joe Mixon was a great pickup.
(04:52):
Now America is never going to embrace him for what
happened off the field when he was in college. But
he was good with the Bengals, and he was really
good last night. This really helped CJ. Stroud and c J.
Stroud has regressed a little bit, but the Texans are
still a playoff caliber team and a really really bad division.
But you're watching last night and the Texans do have
(05:15):
some playmakers there, Nico Collins when he plays, they played well.
But Dallas has lost five home games, the first five
home games for the first time since nineteen eighty nine,
and they're getting blown out. They're giving up thirty seven
points per game at home. The last time that happened,
a team gave up that many points per game through
(05:36):
five games nineteen eighty one. And if you go back
to the playoff loss, you know, we may have looked
at the lost to Green Bay last year as an
aberration in the playoffs, but it wasn't because if you
go back to that loss, the Cowboys have lost six
in a row at home, and they've trailed by at
least twenty points in each of their six home losses,
(05:57):
Like these are numbers that you never would have thought
with Dallas, whether you like him or not. And this
isn't all just hey, Dak got injured. This is a
bad team. They chose to bring back Zeke Elliott. They're
just not They don't They're one dimensional team and now
with that dimension being Cooper Rush, you're not going to
beat anybody. Now, I'm looking at this schedule and they
(06:20):
have a chance to salvage What do you guys think
the over under is? According to DraftKings victories for the
Dallas Cowboys, Marvin, I'll start with you. They have three
how many wins over under? Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Five and a half bloop bloop blue wow.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Wow, yep, five and a half the same as the Jets.
The Bears, they're over under six and a half. How
about the Chiefs over unders fourteen and a half? And
I did want to pick up on that with the
Chiefs because we're going to see the Chiefs and the
(06:57):
Bills probably again. And is Buffalo going to They're nine
and two and Kansas City is nine and one. If
we start to play this out now with the final
six or seven games, so Kansas City's at the Panthers,
they host the Raiders, they host the Chargers, they're at
the Browns, host the Texans, they're at the Steelers. Two
(07:18):
losses maybe in there. Buffalo has two losses right now,
so Kansas City would end up with three losses. Buffalo
hosts San Francisco, They're at the Rams, They're at the Lions,
then they host the Patriots. Jets, Patriots, are they going
to have one or two more losses? And if they
get to four losses, they're going to be going to
(07:41):
Kansas City probably for the AFC title game. Seems like
a foe gun conclusion in the NFC with the class
being the Detroit Lions, and I don't know if the
Eagles are a close second, but feels like I don't
think we're we're quite sure what to make of the
San Francisco forty nine ers. A lot of talent, they've
had injuries, they are generic right now in last place.
(08:05):
A couple other things that happened the Ravens may be
bringing in competition for Justin Tucker. The Giants head coach
has to answer a really tough question on why he's
beinging Daniel Jones and Doug Peterson on the hot seat
in Jacksonville. All Right, he Seaton, let's pull question today. Well,
(08:26):
I was gonna start with the one here. Best bad team.
It's the best bad team right now. The Dolphins are
at four and six. They feel like they should be
better than four and six, Right, So I like the Dolphins, Yes,
I do. I think they're a good team, kind of
disguised as a bad team.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
We're gonna have to remove some teams from this. Actually,
the Bengals, they're four and seven. They're a good bad team, right.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
They're a high end bad team.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, yeah, who else would you put in there? Well,
we can put the Cowboys on there. They're three and seven.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
No, No, we're not going to do that. We can't
do that. Unless you say this is put an asterisk
by it and say this is just for clicks.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yes, well it doesn't it feel like they should be
a better team than what they are.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
I mean their records.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I don't think it's different than the Bengals are the Dolphins.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Just threatening though, right, No, no, I'm joking about putting
them on there there. They're not threatening. They're getting blown out.
They're getting blown out at home. They're not even competitive.
So it's not like they're a good team that you know,
has a bad record, Like the Dolphins don't have a
winning record, but I think they're good. The Bengals are
(09:40):
at least competitive. They don't have a good record, but
I think that they can be competitive.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Yes, poem, Yeah, the Bengals have a top five offense
and they're in every game. The Cowboys offense is ranked
twenty fifth and their defense is ranked thirty first. They're
non threatening. But then I'll throw on a team in
the poll, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at four and six. They've
out scored their opponents by thirteen points this year. But
they're four and six and they've lost four in a row.
But they feel like they could beat anybody on a
(10:07):
good night. They're in every game.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, okay, I can see them in there. Any other suggestions, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah, Well the Saints are four and seven, but they
feel much different than the Buccaneers at four and six.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The Saints did beat the Buccaneers, which is weird just recently.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, we'll put them on pause.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
How about Paul's Chicago Bears, They're not companion?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Okay. How about the Colts at five and six.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, they's they're still in the playoff hunt, So I
guess I have to I have to be grudgingly acknowledged
that the Colts are maybe a playoff team.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I think that was one of my preseason hot takes
was the Colts make the playoffs. Okay, well, let's say
we've got five teams right now and we have room
for four. So Dolphin, Bengals, Colts, Buccaneers, Saints, let's take it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, I'll take the Saints off there.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, they're out.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
My favorite stat of the day, by the way, is
that the US men's national team have won more games
at at and T Stadium this year than the Dallas
Cowboys have. Who cow Stall of a Day Day, Statuta
Day start outa day.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
This is the stat of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Melissa Ethard's stat of the Day, brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program eight
seven to seven three DP shell operator tighters sitting by,
take your phone calls, settle on a poll question. Also,
good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner,
thank you for downloading the app. So Matt Lionert next
hour and former backup quarterback with the Saints Chase Daniel
(11:54):
a little bit later on as well. Basketball Cavaliers against
the Celtics coming up tonight. Also the Pirates Paul's Schemes
won the National League Rookie of the Year. And if
you were confused about the Yankees Luis Gill winning the
American League Rookie of the Year, you're not alone. It
was his third year in the majors. He didn't have
enough starts to qualify. He's twenty six years of age.
(12:18):
Remember when each euro came over and I think he
won what the MVP and Rookie of the Year. He
was like twenty six or twenty seven, and he had
been playing against good competition in Japan for like five years.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Luis Skill was twenty six. Yes, Paul, second only to
algebra things. I don't understand rookie eligibility in Major League
Baseball now. Luis Gill twenty twenty one, he started six games.
Twenty twenty two, he started a game and played a
bunch of innings, not a bunch of a few innings. Then
he was off a year back in the minors, and
then in twenty twenty four he played a full season
(12:55):
with thirty starts. But somehow he's a rookie that seems
I know, whatever rules there are, he's eligible.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
It feels weird.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Should should age factor in to being Rookie of the year? Man,
it's his third season, yes, time.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
I don't know about age, but once you get it
up to the third fourth season of play, even if
it's not even if you didn't hit a minimum number
of games, it's like college football plays with the red shirt.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It's his ninth year playing for the college team.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Well, now, when you watch the NCAA tournament March Madness,
you'll be like, wait a minute, that's like the fourth
stomp for that? Is he like twenty five?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Hunter Dickinson from Kansas basketball, he's as old as I am.
He's over there like man, I'm a grown man. Yes, yes,
very much.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
But he's not eligible for freshmen in the year, in
the Big twelve or something. I don't think anymore. I
think he's past that that riff.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Wait wait, but it's Newcomer of the Year.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Did he win Newcomer of the Year at Kansas Checking
last year? Yeah, check on that if you can. Paul's schemes.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I believe is.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Going to join us on the program tomorrow. All right,
we'll take a break, settle on our poll question. Phone
calls always welcome when we come back. One word answer.
The Houston Texans are blank. The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
We're back after this on a Tuesday morning Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We will play fill in the blank with the Texans
and the Cowboys. Paully has a warm take on the Cowboys.
Paully normally doesn't have a take on the Cowboys and
our our one poll question, I mentioned the over unders
with the Cowboys. The over under according to DraftKings this
morning is five and a half. But the one that
really I find curious is the Chiefs over unders fourteen
(14:56):
and a half. Are the Chiefs going to go fifteen
in two this year? They gonna lose one more game,
They're gonna be hosting the AFC title game. They got
the Panthers, Raiders, Chargers, they're at the Browns, they host
the Texans, they're at the Steelers, one loss out of there.
(15:16):
Buffalo is now nine and two, but they got San Francisco.
They're at the Rams and at the Lions now the
last three they got the Patriots twice and then they
have the Jets. But the Bengals over under a seven
and a half, the Chiefs fourteen and a half, Niners
eight and a half. Can we check and see what
Buffalo's over under is? That wasn't put in here. But
(15:39):
the Jets five and a half, the same as the Cowboys,
Chargers ten and a half over under Rams at eight
and a half. The Niners in the Rams have the
same over under eight and a half. Are the Niners
not going to make the playoffs? That'd be amazing. Now
they had injuries, Christian McCaffrey not playing brock perties banged up.
(16:00):
Now over under eight and a half. But it's almost
like they're begging you to take the Chiefs under with
fourteen and a half. That seems like a lot, which
means they'll go fifteen and two. Do we have an
over under on the Buffalo Bills? Can we find that out?
I'd be curious where that stacks up.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Do you want to guess it? The over under on
the bills? I want to play the guests the over
under the bills.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Guests, I'm gonna say twelve and a half. You're correct,
okayam over? Well, that game is over. We didn't even
get you know, the music in there for the over under. Okay,
here we go. Time to play Phil in the blank.
And this can be a one word answer or maybe
(16:41):
even a hyphenated word. Oh, sort of like what Mike
and TONI do on Pardon the interruption, Such and such
is blank, todd All start with you. You're a word smith.
The Houston Texans are blank.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Aboveish average, a bubbish average. And if I will explain
why six of the seven wins were against the Colts twice, Patriots, Jags, Bears,
and Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Last night, they also lost to the Jets. This season,
they've been owned by the NFC North except for Chicago.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Two of their last three games will be against the
Ravens and Chiefs, where we will see who's who and
what's what.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Wow, I'll tell you what. That's a round of applause,
A bubbish average.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Eat your heart out, Dan Orlovsky. All right, Seaton, the
Houston Texans are funny.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Anything you'd like to add? I was told one word. Oh,
I was told the one word answer, So I my
word was fun.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Give the Texans are fun?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
I respect me?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Now?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Was it keep this moving?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Is that like fun? The band? Is there? Is there
like small letters fun?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Did they do that song?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I remember that?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Fun? That the world?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
The fuck here?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, Marvin, the Houston Texans are contender ish.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That's good. I think on any given Sunday or Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wait wait wait wait wait now is he allowed to explain?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, said it was one word. Ob Seaton only got fun.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Oh he was allowed to expound, but he chose to
traditional rules.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So the rules. Okay, all right, Well Fritzy went on
and on and on, and we gave him a round
of applause. Marvin, Okay, you can explain contender ish.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
On any given Sunday or Saturday during the playoffs, they
can beat everyone except the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Everybody but the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Is there a big difference between contenderish and above average ish?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hmm not in my book.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
They're sort of an above average ish fun team.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
That's kind of who the Texans are right now.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I really feel like we're actually putting a perfect pinpoint
on who they are right now.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
We're really the sort of they're.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Above average ish and contenderish, but they're fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
They're fun.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
They are fun. Okay, Paully, The Houston Texans are.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Root for able. They are root forrible. I think that's
a word.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Are we nailing this team right now?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Are we nailing this or what?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Stroud seems like a good dude. Nico Collins is an
underrated player. Uh, nice guys on defense? Their coaches seems
really cool. They're everything the Cowboys aren't. They're young, they're threatening,
they're entertaining their uniforms. I don't know what uniform from
week to week I'm getting, but they're root forrible.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm gonna say the Houston Texans are overrated. Oh you are?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Break pumper. Here he goes break pumping the main you'd.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Be in a good mood, turns out not.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That was my nickname in high school. Break Pumper Hater aid,
uh yeah, hater aide drinking a gallon today.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
But Ken, I got a question. I think they were
overrated six weeks ago, and then they had the rough
October November, a lot of people jumped off, and now
they're on the upswing where they're properly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Rated underrated question mark.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
So what we're essentially landing on is that the Texans
are a above average ish root for able team that
are kind of contenders and fun to watch, but ultimately overrated.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Boom, Yes, yes, that's perfect.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I feel like that's kind of great.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, Now let's play the Dallas Cowboys game. The Dallas
Cowboys are blank Todd.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
I initially put falling stars, but to try not to
make it two words, I'm going with doll ass called
the Cowboys wow, just calling it like I see it
three and seven?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What are you adding another s At the end of
down Dallas Cowboys bulletin board, I probably would have said,
d ll dull ass, it's not too Yes, Okay, see
the downas Cowboys are blank hilarious.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
The best Cowboys season I can remember in recent I
love that. Every year it's bubbling up, and this year
more so than ever. Every year there's at least one
headline that's like, hey, Jerry, what's with the sun. And
this year we got them to be like, oh, we
just tear the whole place down. It'll today, this year
will forever rule just because of that.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
God do I love that?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And then the roof fell, you know, caved in last night.
That's picking up pieces as if it's you know, off
of a you know, a lunar landing.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I thought they were giving out souvenirs to the fans,
like everyone gets a piece of the roof. They're just
dropping them. Not a not a promotion, all.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Right, Marvin. The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
The Dallas Cowboys are horror awful. Horror awful, horror awful.
It's a word coined by Shaquille O'Neil when he starting
about Craig Sakers jacket once and I've used it ever since.
And that's a perfect way to describe the Dallas Cowboys,
the franchise as a whole.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
H O R h O H O r R A
W f U L horror, awful, horror, awful, horror, awful, Paul,
The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
The Dallas Cowboys are unfixable, which is the worst thing
you can be in sports. Okay, uh, briefly, their quarterback
situation is not changing. They're going to spend on a
pass rusher to do good work for them, but they
won't be really threatening next year. They've got a lot
of money tied up in another player. They're the again,
(22:55):
the opposite of the Texans. They're older, average and overpaid.
Texans are younger, threatening, and all on rookiy contract.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The Dallas Cowboys are irrelevant.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Dang, that's the worst thing, whole is smoker.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yes, yes, when when your owner talking about the sun
or the sky is falling, that's the interesting part of
your team. You're irrelevant. And now you have Mike McCarthy
who's just kind of twisting in the wind. Now you
can see him where you're going, Mike, it's almost over,
(23:32):
almost over, nothing more to worry about after this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
So what we've essentially got right here is the Dallas
Cowboys are hilariously horror awful, unfixable, and ultimately irrelevant. I
feel like we kind of nailed that too. Got admit,
we might need to go through every team because we
are just crushing this right now, but they will probably
lead Sports Center. Yeah, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Let's turned into mad libs where we just plug in
all the different descriptions of the team. We'll do two
more teams tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Sports from that lib.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Thank you, Thank you. Cindy in North Carolina. Good morning, Cindy.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (24:15):
Good morning, Dan Dennett, Thanks for taking my call. Listen
listening to one of the piggyback off that conversation of
the best and worst, because there are also some really
bad teams out there, and I was thinking, you know what,
there may be eight, possibly nine coaching vacancies at the
end of the year, and there's Bill Belichick sitting out there.
Just one of your thoughts and what you think might
(24:37):
be a place that he would like to go to
because some of these teams also have bad quarterback situations.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well, if you're Bill and you were treated to Tom
Brady and then when you don't don't have Tom Brady,
reality set in. If Bill is going to take a
head coaching job, I would start with who's your quarterback?
If he's all in on Trevor Lawrence and reuniting with
Trent Balkey, the gm as, it seems like they might
be the leader in the clubhouse here, But I don't
(25:05):
does he want to put up with Dallas? I wouldn't
if I'm Bill Belichick. If Jerry ran Jimmy Johnson out
of town? Is he going to truly let Bill Belichick
run this team? Because you know what happened, remember the
Patriot Way. Nobody said anything those press conferences. There were
no leaks coming out of there. Bill would be, you know,
coaching a game and then somebody would say, oh, did
(25:27):
you hear what Jerry? There's no way Bill wants to
put up with that. No way do I think that
he would coach the Bears. Caleb Williams Now, I don't
know what his relationships are. I don't know Bill Belichick.
I don't even I don't have any sources on any
of this. But if I'm just looking, what does Bill want?
You know, he's a traditionalist. Would he want to go
(25:48):
into the Bears situation? Would he want to bring back
the monsters of the Midway? Does he believe in Caleb Williams,
So I would start there with your quarterbacking situation. Then
whatever his relationship is with the on office, does he
have any ties to the front office. Bill's going to
have a variety of opportunities if he wants them. And
he might be coming back just to pass Don Shula
(26:11):
in the all time victory list, and he's what two
seasons away from something like that. But he's got a
pretty good gig. He's got a lot of good gigs
right now. And I said I didn't think he was
coming back, and I'm probably going to be wrong.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Yes, Pauline, as a Bear fan, hearing you say Bill
Belichick just randomly as a possibility for the Bears, it
excited me. In the stance of right now, the issue
in Chicago is they believe the coaching staff has very
little disciplined accountability. It's casual coaching staff. It's not disciplined,
it's not detail oriented, and Belichick is the opposite of
(26:44):
all of that. And I think that would sell very
well in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh, Belichick coming to town. Absolutely, it would be the
opposite of everything. Yeah, it'd be like, oh, we're getting
our George Hollis, a modern day George Hallis oh or Ditka.
This is great. There's going to be accountability. He's gonna
take names Mike and Detroit. Hi, Mike, what's on your
mind today, Danny?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
How we doing great?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Mike?
Speaker 10 (27:11):
My Detroit Lions are nine and one, and let me
tell you it's unchartered waters and territories from the fans
in Detroit. I'm like your take on now the third
time we've hung fifty on a team and they've said
that we've ran up the score and being unsportsmanlike. Any
thoughts on this, Danny, because we feel that the tone
was set with Dan Campbell's first press conference on what
(27:36):
this team is going to be from a cultural standpoint,
and then now you have two coordinators who are basically
having you know, interview auditions every week in Ben Jonson
and Aaron Glenn. What do you think is going into
this and why the league has a problem.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I don't have a problem with it. Like you're you're
paid professionals. Stop them now. You do run the risk
of putting your starters, leaving them in somebody could get
hurt or somebody takes a cheap shot. But when I
see teams still trying to score. Now, if it's fourth
down and you're going to kick a fifty five yard
(28:11):
field goal when you're up by thirty two. And then
I have a problem with that unless you say, well,
you know our placekicker. We want to make sure that
he can make these kicks under pressure. I get all
those things. These are paid professionals. I don't believe in.
Let me take it light on you, easy on you.
I remember playing in a football game when I was
(28:32):
in high school and the opposing team took it easy
on they were taking the knee, they were taking a knee,
and I was livid, like I was embarrassed. Now, granted,
I'd rather be embarrassed that we played morely then you're
going to take it easy on me. I have no problem.
This is Dan Campbell's mme. I mean, I have no
problem with that whatsoever. Andrew and Washington, Hi Andrew, what's
(28:54):
on your mind?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (28:57):
Good morning, Dan, and then's thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
I don't playing about.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
Much other than the legitimacy of the fifteen to oh calves.
But last night on Monday Night in Football Countdown, what
was up with Ryan Clark's outfit? In Jason Kelsey's outfit,
what's going on with the wardrobe department of ESPN. He's
got like a two you know, fabric jacket with his
own little RC main pennant on there. And then you know,
(29:21):
I don't know if it was Green Acres or it
was Jason Kelcey. What exactly does that do for the
show and the content and for those individuals. Are they
just trying to do their own thing? And like, look
at me the most on TV and I need my
own little stream.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, this is marketing, that's all. I mean. You hire
these personalities and you want to let them be personalities.
Jason kelce is a personality. Do I want to see
him in a suit and tie?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Now, he's out there like he's Indiana Jones. I'm fine
with that. Ryan Clark probably has his own clothing line
or trying to establish his own clothing line. Does it
look different, Yes, but he wants it to look different
so you'll notice it. Thanks for the phone call, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
And more and more time is being spent on showing
these athletes and what they're wearing and as they walk
into the stadium. That's become a bigger and bigger deal
for social media to show what kind of outrageous things
that they got on.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
So they want to be.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Like these different, this is different. When I was there,
it was suit and time. That's just that's what you're
supposed to wear. Now, maybe you don't wear a time,
maybe you don't wear a sport code, or you wear
a sport code and it's Chris Berman used to wear
like what looked like horse blankets. He would have these
plaid loud jackets because that's what sportscasters used to do,
(30:37):
local sportscasters back in the sixties and seventies, even the eighties.
So he was having fun with it. You know, if
they give you the longitude and latitude to do it,
then take advantage of it.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I said.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
For years when the NBA said we're going to have
a wardrobe like basically wardrobe police watching what you wear.
And that's when Iverson would wear maybe a throwback hockey
jersey or football jersey to a press conference and oh
my god, people couldn't believe it. Steve Nash used to
dress like Ron Howard in Happy Days, you know, a
(31:14):
plaid short sleeve shirt and you know, not tucked in.
And he said that part of that rule was, you
know it was directed at him and iverson that it
wasn't just Allan, it was Steve Nash who didn't get
dressed up to go to the press conferences. And I said,
somebody's gonna go, Hey, I'm gonna make you suits. I'm
gonna make your wardrobe to wear. You're gonna get paid,
(31:36):
I'm gonna get exposure. And you've seen that the women
the WNBA, what they wear. I mean, they're on the runway,
so they're taking advantage of the opportunity. It's a whole
different world. But you know, ESPN has embraced this, Fox
is embracing this. Be yourself okay, and people are doing that.
(31:57):
Tom in North Carolina, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Ship?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (32:02):
dB, you were going over the Kansas City schedule, the
last part of that schedule. If you look at those dates,
those dates are going to be important as far as
their overall wins. I could see them. I don't think
the NFL is gonna let them rest their starters on
Christmas Day, but that's a ten day stretch where they
have three games, so I think you could possibly see
(32:23):
RUSS starters being rested, especially if they've got the number
one seed of locked in.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, but Tom, I don't think the NFL can do
anything about it. The NFL is not saying to the Giants, hey,
you got to pay Dan play Daniel Jones. He gives
you a better chance to win. We have to have
competitive balance. Now, if this was the NBA, that commissioner
might say something. This commissioner, he's not saying anything. We'll
take a break. Play the day up next.
Speaker 1 (32:49):

got delicate situations going on now, and it's really a
tap dance with some of these coaches like Doug Peterson
and Jacksonville. I don't think he's going to be back
(34:10):
next year. Brian Dable, the Giants head coach. I don't
think he's going to be back next year. So Doug
Peterson was asked about, well, here's the question to the
Jacksonville head coach.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Is there any.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
Unwritten rule in the NFL all hired coaches and this
is like two and allowed and firing assistance.
Speaker 16 (34:30):
I think you've got to be really, really careful when
you start pointing fingers at certain people. That's a dangerous
thing and I'm not going to do that, not doing it,
not right now. As a head coach in this league.
You're pointing a finger, and if it's going to be pointed,
it needs to be pointed at me. Start with me.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Good response, the right response there as well. We've seen
this with certain teams where you go, uh, we're not
going to fire the coach, fire a coordinator or two.
The Bears did this. I don't think that's changed anything.
Then you have Brian Dable the Giants head coach. So
Daniel Jones is not a good quarterback. Do I think
he's better than Tommy DeVito, Drew Locke? I do, but
(35:13):
they don't want to risk him getting injured, and then
he's still won the payroll next year. So here is
Brian Dable being asked the question about benching his best quarterback.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Why now with the move obviously is to buy You're
on a five game loser street, But why now, actually,
you know, make the move with Daniel?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (35:34):
I think you know you said some of those things
were obviously not playing the way any of us want
to play, and that's not all of us. But felt
like this was a decision that we needed to make
here and try to spark things, change things up, and
you know, we went and did it with with Tommy. Again,
(35:54):
we spent a lot of time here over the last
week of evaluating a lot of things.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I just felt like this was the best thing for.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Us Okay, he didn't really answer anything. And I feel
bad for these coaches because this is a management tanking.
They're saying, don't play him, and even if you're not
even playing Drew Locke, who's better than Tommy DeVito? And
then you find out all the incentives in Drew Locke's contract.
(36:23):
They just don't want to spend any money here, and
they sort of want to go quietly into the off
season here and try to regroup. But Daniel Jones gives
them a better chance of winning. Maybe they don't have
a great chance of winning, but he's a better quarterback
than the other two. But they make it. See the
fact that you can say, hey, I watched a lot
of film, and that's why we went with Tommy DeVito,
(36:46):
Like what film are you watching.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
That you're going to go?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You know we're going to take He had fifteen minutes
of fame and Drew Locke is a better quarterback. I
don't know if you could honestly say, but you have
to go to a press conference and you go, all right,
all right, let me practice this hunt. Listen to me
and tell me if you think this is convincing. I've
watched a lot of tape, and that's why we went
with Tommy DeVito. Okay, you've gotta have a little bit
(37:14):
more emotion in that hunt. Okay, Okay, Hey, we watch
a lot of tape and we really like what we
see with Tommy DeVito. That's why we're gonna go with him.
And we think this we need a spark. Okay, sure,
I'll buy that. Yes, I kind of.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Wish that Dabell had done the other move where the
reporter asked the question and obviously we all know what's
going on here, and the coach just turns it back
on the reporter like, uh, like.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
A coach, what's with the uh called? You know the
quarterback change? Is this really the best position?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
So you think that I'm gonna sacrifice my job. You
think I'm gonna put my.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Job on the line. Okay, I'm the head coach of
this football team. Okay, We're here to win every day.
You don't know the sacrifices of these men have made
an air. Okay, you don't know that. You guys just
sit here, you write your columns. Okay, we're in there, blood,
sweat and tears going into this game.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Every single day we're working hard.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
I like when they just turn it on the guy, like,
all right, I was just asking why you're playing this
crappy quarterback instead of the other two that you have.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Well, I'm just asking a question.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Yeah, yeah, every day, Okay, we show up every day.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Paulie says to me this morning, Hey, I got a
warm take on Trey Lance. Now he knows I have
a soft spot in my heart for Trey Lance. These
two for duds to get draft warm takes from. Paulie
had a Cowboys a warm take and now a Trey
Lance will take. Let's get it in the Cowboy community there.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
You know these kids who get drafted and they're twenty one,
twenty two years of age, and then they don't play
well and then we want to move on. I'd like
to see Trey Lance get a chance with Dallas, just
see if he can play. So, Paulie your warm take
on the Cowboys backup quarterback Tray Lance.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
I've heard a few people say, once they're not in
the playoffs, which are really not anymore, you bring in
Trey Lance and see what you have with him. The
only way the Cowboys can make this season worse is
by playing Trey Lance. At any point this season.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Here's why.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
If he happens to play well for two or three games,
now you have a situation, and it's not a real
situation because you can't bench Dak Prescott, you can't cut him,
you cannot trade him. Prescott is your quarterback for the
next two years. At the very minimum, He's actually the
next the quarterback for the next three years financially. So
if somehow you play Trey Lance, you set up next
(39:30):
season a really interesting backup quarterback that the fans may
like enough starter who's on benchal This isn't Russell Wilson,
who could be moved. It would be brutal. So I
think playing Trey Lance is a terrible idea because, yeah,
I disagree, the upside of him playing well is actually
hurts your team.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
No, the upside is is we spend a fourth round pick?
Can the guy play? Is he a legitimate backup? Do
we move on from Cooper Rush? Or could he be
traded Dak Preston, Dak Prescott's your quarterback, that's you know,
that's unimpeachable. He is your guy. But Trey Lance, Hey,
is he worth that fourth round pick? Do we let
(40:11):
him go? I would like to know that.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
I'd like to go back and question that fourth round
pick for him, because, well, here's the thing. If you
had not signed Dak Prescott before the season, as I
said not to, because you let the season play out
and then you have financial options, then you play Trey
Lance because maybe you'd go in a completely different direction.
They didn't do that. They could compound a mistake.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
They didn't listen to me. They didn't listen to me.
Jerry never listens to me, as much as I try
to plead with him. All right, coming up, Matt Lainer
will join us. Also Chase Daniel, former quarterback in the NFL.
More of your phone calls as well. One hour in

(01:08):
would have thought middle of November Celtic's Calves spicy As
the Calves try to stay undefeated, they're getting five points.
In Boston, Texans handled the Cowboys, and the Texans now
seven and four. The Cowboys drop to three and seven
after three straight twelve win seasons. The sky is falling
(01:30):
in Dallas, literally and figuratively. The team came in with
playoff aspirations, maybe Super Bowl aspirations, but here we are
ten games deep and it's time to accept the Cowboys
for who they really are. It's a poorly built team
that continues to fail to get out of its own way.
They were embarrassed last night at home, so they're in
the same conversation with the Patriots and the Panthers. Nobody
(01:54):
saw this when coming. The Star on the helmet continues
to keep Dallas in the news, and they will contin
you to hear about Micah Parsons contract. We'll hear about
the prospects of teams or players that the team has
fallen in love with. With the draft, Jerry World maybe
wanting to tear down the stadium and build a new stadium,
and part of the roof was falling and caving in
(02:16):
last night. But the relationship with the Cowboys is always
interesting because you either love them or you hate them.
There's no middle ground. And what you're seeing right now
this is a juicy little payback to all those victories
and all the attention that they receive. For a three
and seventeam, we'll start with Ceedee Lamb talking about what
(02:39):
it's like to play for the Cowboys and when you
face these opponents each week.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Obviously everybody is looking to embarrasses, right they have their
opportunity when they do they try to, you know, put
us out. And we had so much success over the
last few years as far as in the regular season.
It's starting about us right now. So for us, we
gotta find ways to find ways of Joe together, play together.
Oh that's the thing out.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you know, the TV executives have to be wringing
their hands because they love Dallas. You got Dallas and
the Giants, the annual Thanksgiving Day game, then you have
two primetime games on Monday night. You got Week fourteen
against the Bengals, and then you have Week sixteen against
the Buccaneers. We love watching Dallas and those who love
(03:26):
watching Dallas succeed and those watching Dallas fail. You get
a whole lot of one and a little bit of
the other one this season. And Cooper Rush did okay
last night. He's kind of non threatening. I don't know
if they get to the point where they go, let's
just see if Trey Lance can play football. You gave
up a fourth round pick, which doesn't sound like a lot,
(03:47):
but in the NFL that's a big deal. Look at
the receivers who have been traded for fourth round picks
this year. Maybe see if Trey Lance can play and
then if not, maybe you're moving on from him and
Cooper Rush. But you're watching that Dallas team and you
keep waiting for something to happen. It's not going to happen.
And Mike McCarthy is basically just kind of, you know,
(04:09):
twisting in the wind. And Jerry will bring in somebody
next year. But there's bigger pictures and we'll go back
months and months ago, maybe last year. And Seaton first
brought this up. He said, you know, Dallas has a
problem because they have a guy who's going to make
fifty or sixty million dollars. At quarterback, they got a
wide receiver going to make thirty million dollars. And then
(04:30):
you have a defensive player who's probably going to be
or want to be, the highest defensive player in the
game as far as how he's paid. You would think
that's a good problem, but it's not because of how
the team is built the other positions and they don't
have a running game, and it is you know, I
look at the Texans. Joe Mixon was a great pickup.
(04:52):
Now America is never going to embrace him for what
happened off the field when he was in college. But
he was good with the Bengals, and he was really
good last night. This really helped CJ. Stroud and c J.
Stroud has regressed a little bit, but the Texans are
still a playoff caliber team and a really really bad division.
But you're watching last night and the Texans do have
(05:15):
some playmakers there, Nico Collins when he plays, they played well.
But Dallas has lost five home games, the first five
home games for the first time since nineteen eighty nine,
and they're getting blown out. They're giving up thirty seven
points per game at home. The last time that happened,
a team gave up that many points per game through
(05:36):
five games nineteen eighty one. And if you go back
to the playoff loss, you know, we may have looked
at the lost to Green Bay last year as an
aberration in the playoffs, but it wasn't because if you
go back to that loss, the Cowboys have lost six
in a row at home, and they've trailed by at
least twenty points in each of their six home losses,
(05:57):
Like these are numbers that you never would have thought
with Dallas, whether you like him or not. And this
isn't all just hey, Dak got injured. This is a
bad team. They chose to bring back Zeke Elliott. They're
just not They don't They're one dimensional team and now
with that dimension being Cooper Rush, you're not going to
beat anybody. Now, I'm looking at this schedule and they
(06:20):
have a chance to salvage What do you guys think
the over under is? According to DraftKings victories for the
Dallas Cowboys, Marvin, I'll start with you. They have three
how many wins over under? Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Five and a half bloop bloop blue wow.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Wow, yep, five and a half the same as the Jets.
The Bears, they're over under six and a half. How
about the Chiefs over unders fourteen and a half? And
I did want to pick up on that with the
Chiefs because we're going to see the Chiefs and the
(06:57):
Bills probably again. And is Buffalo going to They're nine
and two and Kansas City is nine and one. If
we start to play this out now with the final
six or seven games, so Kansas City's at the Panthers,
they host the Raiders, they host the Chargers, they're at
the Browns, host the Texans, they're at the Steelers. Two
(07:18):
losses maybe in there. Buffalo has two losses right now,
so Kansas City would end up with three losses. Buffalo
hosts San Francisco, They're at the Rams, They're at the Lions,
then they host the Patriots. Jets, Patriots, are they going
to have one or two more losses? And if they
get to four losses, they're going to be going to
(07:41):
Kansas City probably for the AFC title game. Seems like
a foe gun conclusion in the NFC with the class
being the Detroit Lions, and I don't know if the
Eagles are a close second, but feels like I don't
think we're we're quite sure what to make of the
San Francisco forty nine ers. A lot of talent, they've
had injuries, they are generic right now in last place.
(08:05):
A couple other things that happened the Ravens may be
bringing in competition for Justin Tucker. The Giants head coach
has to answer a really tough question on why he's
beinging Daniel Jones and Doug Peterson on the hot seat
in Jacksonville. All Right, he Seaton, let's pull question today. Well,
(08:26):
I was gonna start with the one here. Best bad team.
It's the best bad team right now. The Dolphins are
at four and six. They feel like they should be
better than four and six, Right, So I like the Dolphins, Yes,
I do. I think they're a good team, kind of
disguised as a bad team.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
We're gonna have to remove some teams from this. Actually,
the Bengals, they're four and seven. They're a good bad team, right.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
They're a high end bad team.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, yeah, who else would you put in there? Well,
we can put the Cowboys on there. They're three and seven.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
No, No, we're not going to do that. We can't
do that. Unless you say this is put an asterisk
by it and say this is just for clicks.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yes, well it doesn't it feel like they should be
a better team than what they are.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
I mean their records.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I don't think it's different than the Bengals are the Dolphins.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Just threatening though, right, No, no, I'm joking about putting
them on there there. They're not threatening. They're getting blown out.
They're getting blown out at home. They're not even competitive.
So it's not like they're a good team that you know,
has a bad record, Like the Dolphins don't have a
winning record, but I think they're good. The Bengals are
(09:40):
at least competitive. They don't have a good record, but
I think that they can be competitive.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Yes, poem, Yeah, the Bengals have a top five offense
and they're in every game. The Cowboys offense is ranked
twenty fifth and their defense is ranked thirty first. They're
non threatening. But then I'll throw on a team in
the poll, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at four and six. They've
out scored their opponents by thirteen points this year. But
they're four and six and they've lost four in a row.
But they feel like they could beat anybody on a
(10:07):
good night. They're in every game.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, okay, I can see them in there. Any other suggestions, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah, Well the Saints are four and seven, but they
feel much different than the Buccaneers at four and six.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The Saints did beat the Buccaneers, which is weird just recently.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, we'll put them on pause.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
How about Paul's Chicago Bears, They're not companion?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Okay. How about the Colts at five and six.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, they's they're still in the playoff hunt, So I
guess I have to I have to be grudgingly acknowledged
that the Colts are maybe a playoff team.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I think that was one of my preseason hot takes
was the Colts make the playoffs. Okay, well, let's say
we've got five teams right now and we have room
for four. So Dolphin, Bengals, Colts, Buccaneers, Saints, let's take it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, I'll take the Saints off there.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, they're out.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
My favorite stat of the day, by the way, is
that the US men's national team have won more games
at at and T Stadium this year than the Dallas
Cowboys have. Who cow Stall of a Day Day, Statuta
Day start outa day.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
This is the stat of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Melissa Ethard's stat of the Day, brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program eight
seven to seven three DP shell operator tighters sitting by,
take your phone calls, settle on a poll question. Also,
good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner,
thank you for downloading the app. So Matt Lionert next
hour and former backup quarterback with the Saints Chase Daniel
(11:54):
a little bit later on as well. Basketball Cavaliers against
the Celtics coming up tonight. Also the Pirates Paul's Schemes
won the National League Rookie of the Year. And if
you were confused about the Yankees Luis Gill winning the
American League Rookie of the Year, you're not alone. It
was his third year in the majors. He didn't have
enough starts to qualify. He's twenty six years of age.
(12:18):
Remember when each euro came over and I think he
won what the MVP and Rookie of the Year. He
was like twenty six or twenty seven, and he had
been playing against good competition in Japan for like five years.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Luis Skill was twenty six. Yes, Paul, second only to
algebra things. I don't understand rookie eligibility in Major League
Baseball now. Luis Gill twenty twenty one, he started six games.
Twenty twenty two, he started a game and played a
bunch of innings, not a bunch of a few innings. Then
he was off a year back in the minors, and
then in twenty twenty four he played a full season
(12:55):
with thirty starts. But somehow he's a rookie that seems
I know, whatever rules there are, he's eligible.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
It feels weird.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Should should age factor in to being Rookie of the year? Man,
it's his third season, yes, time.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
I don't know about age, but once you get it
up to the third fourth season of play, even if
it's not even if you didn't hit a minimum number
of games, it's like college football plays with the red shirt.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It's his ninth year playing for the college team.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Well, now, when you watch the NCAA tournament March Madness,
you'll be like, wait a minute, that's like the fourth
stomp for that? Is he like twenty five?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Hunter Dickinson from Kansas basketball, he's as old as I am.
He's over there like man, I'm a grown man. Yes, yes,
very much.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
But he's not eligible for freshmen in the year, in
the Big twelve or something. I don't think anymore. I
think he's past that that riff.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Wait wait, but it's Newcomer of the Year.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Did he win Newcomer of the Year at Kansas Checking
last year? Yeah, check on that if you can. Paul's schemes.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I believe is.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Going to join us on the program tomorrow. All right,
we'll take a break, settle on our poll question. Phone
calls always welcome when we come back. One word answer.
The Houston Texans are blank. The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
We're back after this on a Tuesday morning Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We will play fill in the blank with the Texans
and the Cowboys. Paully has a warm take on the Cowboys.
Paully normally doesn't have a take on the Cowboys and
our our one poll question, I mentioned the over unders
with the Cowboys. The over under according to DraftKings this
morning is five and a half. But the one that
really I find curious is the Chiefs over unders fourteen
(14:56):
and a half. Are the Chiefs going to go fifteen
in two this year? They gonna lose one more game,
They're gonna be hosting the AFC title game. They got
the Panthers, Raiders, Chargers, they're at the Browns, they host
the Texans, they're at the Steelers, one loss out of there.
(15:16):
Buffalo is now nine and two, but they got San Francisco.
They're at the Rams and at the Lions now the
last three they got the Patriots twice and then they
have the Jets. But the Bengals over under a seven
and a half, the Chiefs fourteen and a half, Niners
eight and a half. Can we check and see what
Buffalo's over under is? That wasn't put in here. But
(15:39):
the Jets five and a half, the same as the Cowboys,
Chargers ten and a half over under Rams at eight
and a half. The Niners in the Rams have the
same over under eight and a half. Are the Niners
not going to make the playoffs? That'd be amazing. Now
they had injuries, Christian McCaffrey not playing brock perties banged up.
(16:00):
Now over under eight and a half. But it's almost
like they're begging you to take the Chiefs under with
fourteen and a half. That seems like a lot, which
means they'll go fifteen and two. Do we have an
over under on the Buffalo Bills? Can we find that out?
I'd be curious where that stacks up.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Do you want to guess it? The over under on
the bills? I want to play the guests the over
under the bills.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Guests, I'm gonna say twelve and a half. You're correct,
okayam over? Well, that game is over. We didn't even
get you know, the music in there for the over under. Okay,
here we go. Time to play Phil in the blank.
And this can be a one word answer or maybe
(16:41):
even a hyphenated word. Oh, sort of like what Mike
and TONI do on Pardon the interruption, Such and such
is blank, todd All start with you. You're a word smith.
The Houston Texans are blank.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Aboveish average, a bubbish average. And if I will explain
why six of the seven wins were against the Colts twice, Patriots, Jags, Bears,
and Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Last night, they also lost to the Jets. This season,
they've been owned by the NFC North except for Chicago.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Two of their last three games will be against the
Ravens and Chiefs, where we will see who's who and
what's what.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Wow, I'll tell you what. That's a round of applause,
A bubbish average.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Eat your heart out, Dan Orlovsky. All right, Seaton, the
Houston Texans are funny.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Anything you'd like to add? I was told one word. Oh,
I was told the one word answer, So I my
word was fun.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Give the Texans are fun?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
I respect me?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Now?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Was it keep this moving?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Is that like fun? The band? Is there? Is there
like small letters fun?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Did they do that song?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I remember that?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Fun? That the world?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
The fuck here?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, Marvin, the Houston Texans are contender ish.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That's good. I think on any given Sunday or Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wait wait wait wait wait now is he allowed to explain?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, said it was one word. Ob Seaton only got fun.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Oh he was allowed to expound, but he chose to
traditional rules.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So the rules. Okay, all right, Well Fritzy went on
and on and on, and we gave him a round
of applause. Marvin, Okay, you can explain contender ish.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
On any given Sunday or Saturday during the playoffs, they
can beat everyone except the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Everybody but the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Is there a big difference between contenderish and above average ish?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hmm not in my book.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
They're sort of an above average ish fun team.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
That's kind of who the Texans are right now.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I really feel like we're actually putting a perfect pinpoint
on who they are right now.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
We're really the sort of they're.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Above average ish and contenderish, but they're fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
They're fun.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
They are fun. Okay, Paully, The Houston Texans are.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Root for able. They are root forrible. I think that's
a word.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Are we nailing this team right now?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Are we nailing this or what?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Stroud seems like a good dude. Nico Collins is an
underrated player. Uh, nice guys on defense? Their coaches seems
really cool. They're everything the Cowboys aren't. They're young, they're threatening,
they're entertaining their uniforms. I don't know what uniform from
week to week I'm getting, but they're root forrible.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm gonna say the Houston Texans are overrated. Oh you are?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Break pumper. Here he goes break pumping the main you'd.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Be in a good mood, turns out not.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That was my nickname in high school. Break Pumper Hater aid,
uh yeah, hater aide drinking a gallon today.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
But Ken, I got a question. I think they were
overrated six weeks ago, and then they had the rough
October November, a lot of people jumped off, and now
they're on the upswing where they're properly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Rated underrated question mark.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
So what we're essentially landing on is that the Texans
are a above average ish root for able team that
are kind of contenders and fun to watch, but ultimately overrated.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Boom, Yes, yes, that's perfect.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I feel like that's kind of great.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, Now let's play the Dallas Cowboys game. The Dallas
Cowboys are blank Todd.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
I initially put falling stars, but to try not to
make it two words, I'm going with doll ass called
the Cowboys wow, just calling it like I see it
three and seven?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What are you adding another s At the end of
down Dallas Cowboys bulletin board, I probably would have said,
d ll dull ass, it's not too Yes, Okay, see
the downas Cowboys are blank hilarious.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
The best Cowboys season I can remember in recent I
love that. Every year it's bubbling up, and this year
more so than ever. Every year there's at least one
headline that's like, hey, Jerry, what's with the sun. And
this year we got them to be like, oh, we
just tear the whole place down. It'll today, this year
will forever rule just because of that.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
God do I love that?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And then the roof fell, you know, caved in last night.
That's picking up pieces as if it's you know, off
of a you know, a lunar landing.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I thought they were giving out souvenirs to the fans,
like everyone gets a piece of the roof. They're just
dropping them. Not a not a promotion, all.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Right, Marvin. The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
The Dallas Cowboys are horror awful. Horror awful, horror awful.
It's a word coined by Shaquille O'Neil when he starting
about Craig Sakers jacket once and I've used it ever since.
And that's a perfect way to describe the Dallas Cowboys,
the franchise as a whole.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
H O R h O H O r R A
W f U L horror, awful, horror, awful, horror, awful, Paul,
The Dallas Cowboys are blank.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
The Dallas Cowboys are unfixable, which is the worst thing
you can be in sports. Okay, uh, briefly, their quarterback
situation is not changing. They're going to spend on a
pass rusher to do good work for them, but they
won't be really threatening next year. They've got a lot
of money tied up in another player. They're the again,
(22:55):
the opposite of the Texans. They're older, average and overpaid.
Texans are younger, threatening, and all on rookiy contract.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The Dallas Cowboys are irrelevant.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Dang, that's the worst thing, whole is smoker.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yes, yes, when when your owner talking about the sun
or the sky is falling, that's the interesting part of
your team. You're irrelevant. And now you have Mike McCarthy
who's just kind of twisting in the wind. Now you
can see him where you're going, Mike, it's almost over,
(23:32):
almost over, nothing more to worry about after this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
So what we've essentially got right here is the Dallas
Cowboys are hilariously horror awful, unfixable, and ultimately irrelevant. I
feel like we kind of nailed that too. Got admit,
we might need to go through every team because we
are just crushing this right now, but they will probably
lead Sports Center. Yeah, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Let's turned into mad libs where we just plug in
all the different descriptions of the team. We'll do two
more teams tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Sports from that lib.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Thank you, Thank you. Cindy in North Carolina. Good morning, Cindy.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (24:15):
Good morning, Dan Dennett, Thanks for taking my call. Listen
listening to one of the piggyback off that conversation of
the best and worst, because there are also some really
bad teams out there, and I was thinking, you know what,
there may be eight, possibly nine coaching vacancies at the
end of the year, and there's Bill Belichick sitting out there.
Just one of your thoughts and what you think might
(24:37):
be a place that he would like to go to
because some of these teams also have bad quarterback situations.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well, if you're Bill and you were treated to Tom
Brady and then when you don't don't have Tom Brady,
reality set in. If Bill is going to take a
head coaching job, I would start with who's your quarterback?
If he's all in on Trevor Lawrence and reuniting with
Trent Balkey, the gm as, it seems like they might
be the leader in the clubhouse here, But I don't
(25:05):
does he want to put up with Dallas? I wouldn't
if I'm Bill Belichick. If Jerry ran Jimmy Johnson out
of town? Is he going to truly let Bill Belichick
run this team? Because you know what happened, remember the
Patriot Way. Nobody said anything those press conferences. There were
no leaks coming out of there. Bill would be, you know,
coaching a game and then somebody would say, oh, did
(25:27):
you hear what Jerry? There's no way Bill wants to
put up with that. No way do I think that
he would coach the Bears. Caleb Williams Now, I don't
know what his relationships are. I don't know Bill Belichick.
I don't even I don't have any sources on any
of this. But if I'm just looking, what does Bill want?
You know, he's a traditionalist. Would he want to go
(25:48):
into the Bears situation? Would he want to bring back
the monsters of the Midway? Does he believe in Caleb Williams,
So I would start there with your quarterbacking situation. Then
whatever his relationship is with the on office, does he
have any ties to the front office. Bill's going to
have a variety of opportunities if he wants them. And
he might be coming back just to pass Don Shula
(26:11):
in the all time victory list, and he's what two
seasons away from something like that. But he's got a
pretty good gig. He's got a lot of good gigs
right now. And I said I didn't think he was
coming back, and I'm probably going to be wrong.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Yes, Pauline, as a Bear fan, hearing you say Bill
Belichick just randomly as a possibility for the Bears, it
excited me. In the stance of right now, the issue
in Chicago is they believe the coaching staff has very
little disciplined accountability. It's casual coaching staff. It's not disciplined,
it's not detail oriented, and Belichick is the opposite of
(26:44):
all of that. And I think that would sell very
well in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh, Belichick coming to town. Absolutely, it would be the
opposite of everything. Yeah, it'd be like, oh, we're getting
our George Hollis, a modern day George Hallis oh or Ditka.
This is great. There's going to be accountability. He's gonna
take names Mike and Detroit. Hi, Mike, what's on your
mind today, Danny?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
How we doing great?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Mike?
Speaker 10 (27:11):
My Detroit Lions are nine and one, and let me
tell you it's unchartered waters and territories from the fans
in Detroit. I'm like your take on now the third
time we've hung fifty on a team and they've said
that we've ran up the score and being unsportsmanlike. Any
thoughts on this, Danny, because we feel that the tone
was set with Dan Campbell's first press conference on what
(27:36):
this team is going to be from a cultural standpoint,
and then now you have two coordinators who are basically
having you know, interview auditions every week in Ben Jonson
and Aaron Glenn. What do you think is going into
this and why the league has a problem.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I don't have a problem with it. Like you're you're
paid professionals. Stop them now. You do run the risk
of putting your starters, leaving them in somebody could get
hurt or somebody takes a cheap shot. But when I
see teams still trying to score. Now, if it's fourth
down and you're going to kick a fifty five yard
(28:11):
field goal when you're up by thirty two. And then
I have a problem with that unless you say, well,
you know our placekicker. We want to make sure that
he can make these kicks under pressure. I get all
those things. These are paid professionals. I don't believe in.
Let me take it light on you, easy on you.
I remember playing in a football game when I was
(28:32):
in high school and the opposing team took it easy
on they were taking the knee, they were taking a knee,
and I was livid, like I was embarrassed. Now, granted,
I'd rather be embarrassed that we played morely then you're
going to take it easy on me. I have no problem.
This is Dan Campbell's mme. I mean, I have no
problem with that whatsoever. Andrew and Washington, Hi Andrew, what's
(28:54):
on your mind?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (28:57):
Good morning, Dan, and then's thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
I don't playing about.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
Much other than the legitimacy of the fifteen to oh calves.
But last night on Monday Night in Football Countdown, what
was up with Ryan Clark's outfit? In Jason Kelsey's outfit,
what's going on with the wardrobe department of ESPN. He's
got like a two you know, fabric jacket with his
own little RC main pennant on there. And then you know,
(29:21):
I don't know if it was Green Acres or it
was Jason Kelcey. What exactly does that do for the
show and the content and for those individuals. Are they
just trying to do their own thing? And like, look
at me the most on TV and I need my
own little stream.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, this is marketing, that's all. I mean. You hire
these personalities and you want to let them be personalities.
Jason kelce is a personality. Do I want to see
him in a suit and tie?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Now, he's out there like he's Indiana Jones. I'm fine
with that. Ryan Clark probably has his own clothing line
or trying to establish his own clothing line. Does it
look different, Yes, but he wants it to look different
so you'll notice it. Thanks for the phone call, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
And more and more time is being spent on showing
these athletes and what they're wearing and as they walk
into the stadium. That's become a bigger and bigger deal
for social media to show what kind of outrageous things
that they got on.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
So they want to be.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Like these different, this is different. When I was there,
it was suit and time. That's just that's what you're
supposed to wear. Now, maybe you don't wear a time,
maybe you don't wear a sport code, or you wear
a sport code and it's Chris Berman used to wear
like what looked like horse blankets. He would have these
plaid loud jackets because that's what sportscasters used to do,
(30:37):
local sportscasters back in the sixties and seventies, even the eighties.
So he was having fun with it. You know, if
they give you the longitude and latitude to do it,
then take advantage of it.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I said.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
For years when the NBA said we're going to have
a wardrobe like basically wardrobe police watching what you wear.
And that's when Iverson would wear maybe a throwback hockey
jersey or football jersey to a press conference and oh
my god, people couldn't believe it. Steve Nash used to
dress like Ron Howard in Happy Days, you know, a
(31:14):
plaid short sleeve shirt and you know, not tucked in.
And he said that part of that rule was, you
know it was directed at him and iverson that it
wasn't just Allan, it was Steve Nash who didn't get
dressed up to go to the press conferences. And I said,
somebody's gonna go, Hey, I'm gonna make you suits. I'm
gonna make your wardrobe to wear. You're gonna get paid,
(31:36):
I'm gonna get exposure. And you've seen that the women
the WNBA, what they wear. I mean, they're on the runway,
so they're taking advantage of the opportunity. It's a whole
different world. But you know, ESPN has embraced this, Fox
is embracing this. Be yourself okay, and people are doing that.
(31:57):
Tom in North Carolina, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Ship?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (32:02):
dB, you were going over the Kansas City schedule, the
last part of that schedule. If you look at those dates,
those dates are going to be important as far as
their overall wins. I could see them. I don't think
the NFL is gonna let them rest their starters on
Christmas Day, but that's a ten day stretch where they
have three games, so I think you could possibly see
(32:23):
RUSS starters being rested, especially if they've got the number
one seed of locked in.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, but Tom, I don't think the NFL can do
anything about it. The NFL is not saying to the Giants, hey,
you got to pay Dan play Daniel Jones. He gives
you a better chance to win. We have to have
competitive balance. Now, if this was the NBA, that commissioner
might say something. This commissioner, he's not saying anything. We'll
take a break. Play the day up next.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
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 wapp. Oh my god,

five at home this season, the first time they've lost
their first five home games since nineteen eighty nine. That's

got delicate situations going on now, and it's really a
tap dance with some of these coaches like Doug Peterson
and Jacksonville. I don't think he's going to be back
(34:10):
next year. Brian Dable, the Giants head coach. I don't
think he's going to be back next year. So Doug
Peterson was asked about, well, here's the question to the
Jacksonville head coach.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Is there any.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
Unwritten rule in the NFL all hired coaches and this
is like two and allowed and firing assistance.
Speaker 16 (34:30):
I think you've got to be really, really careful when
you start pointing fingers at certain people. That's a dangerous
thing and I'm not going to do that, not doing it,
not right now. As a head coach in this league.
You're pointing a finger, and if it's going to be pointed,
it needs to be pointed at me. Start with me.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Good response, the right response there as well. We've seen
this with certain teams where you go, uh, we're not
going to fire the coach, fire a coordinator or two.
The Bears did this. I don't think that's changed anything.
Then you have Brian Dable the Giants head coach. So
Daniel Jones is not a good quarterback. Do I think
he's better than Tommy DeVito, Drew Locke? I do, but
(35:13):
they don't want to risk him getting injured, and then
he's still won the payroll next year. So here is
Brian Dable being asked the question about benching his best quarterback.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Why now with the move obviously is to buy You're
on a five game loser street, But why now, actually,
you know, make the move with Daniel?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (35:34):
I think you know you said some of those things
were obviously not playing the way any of us want
to play, and that's not all of us. But felt
like this was a decision that we needed to make
here and try to spark things, change things up, and
you know, we went and did it with with Tommy. Again,
(35:54):
we spent a lot of time here over the last
week of evaluating a lot of things.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I just felt like this was the best thing for.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Us Okay, he didn't really answer anything. And I feel
bad for these coaches because this is a management tanking.
They're saying, don't play him, and even if you're not
even playing Drew Locke, who's better than Tommy DeVito? And
then you find out all the incentives in Drew Locke's contract.
(36:23):
They just don't want to spend any money here, and
they sort of want to go quietly into the off
season here and try to regroup. But Daniel Jones gives
them a better chance of winning. Maybe they don't have
a great chance of winning, but he's a better quarterback
than the other two. But they make it. See the
fact that you can say, hey, I watched a lot
of film, and that's why we went with Tommy DeVito,
(36:46):
Like what film are you watching.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
That you're going to go?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You know we're going to take He had fifteen minutes
of fame and Drew Locke is a better quarterback. I
don't know if you could honestly say, but you have
to go to a press conference and you go, all right,
all right, let me practice this hunt. Listen to me
and tell me if you think this is convincing. I've
watched a lot of tape, and that's why we went
with Tommy DeVito. Okay, you've gotta have a little bit
(37:14):
more emotion in that hunt. Okay, Okay, Hey, we watch
a lot of tape and we really like what we
see with Tommy DeVito. That's why we're gonna go with him.
And we think this we need a spark. Okay, sure,
I'll buy that. Yes, I kind of.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Wish that Dabell had done the other move where the
reporter asked the question and obviously we all know what's
going on here, and the coach just turns it back
on the reporter like, uh, like.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
A coach, what's with the uh called? You know the
quarterback change? Is this really the best position?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
So you think that I'm gonna sacrifice my job. You
think I'm gonna put my.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Job on the line. Okay, I'm the head coach of
this football team. Okay, We're here to win every day.
You don't know the sacrifices of these men have made
an air. Okay, you don't know that. You guys just
sit here, you write your columns. Okay, we're in there, blood,
sweat and tears going into this game.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Every single day we're working hard.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
I like when they just turn it on the guy, like,
all right, I was just asking why you're playing this
crappy quarterback instead of the other two that you have.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Well, I'm just asking a question.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Yeah, yeah, every day, Okay, we show up every day.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Paulie says to me this morning, Hey, I got a
warm take on Trey Lance. Now he knows I have
a soft spot in my heart for Trey Lance. These
two for duds to get draft warm takes from. Paulie
had a Cowboys a warm take and now a Trey
Lance will take. Let's get it in the Cowboy community there.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
You know these kids who get drafted and they're twenty one,
twenty two years of age, and then they don't play
well and then we want to move on. I'd like
to see Trey Lance get a chance with Dallas, just
see if he can play. So, Paulie your warm take
on the Cowboys backup quarterback Tray Lance.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
I've heard a few people say, once they're not in
the playoffs, which are really not anymore, you bring in
Trey Lance and see what you have with him. The
only way the Cowboys can make this season worse is
by playing Trey Lance. At any point this season.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Here's why.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
If he happens to play well for two or three games,
now you have a situation, and it's not a real
situation because you can't bench Dak Prescott, you can't cut him,
you cannot trade him. Prescott is your quarterback for the
next two years. At the very minimum, He's actually the
next the quarterback for the next three years financially. So
if somehow you play Trey Lance, you set up next
(39:30):
season a really interesting backup quarterback that the fans may
like enough starter who's on benchal This isn't Russell Wilson,
who could be moved. It would be brutal. So I
think playing Trey Lance is a terrible idea because, yeah,
I disagree, the upside of him playing well is actually
hurts your team.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
No, the upside is is we spend a fourth round pick?
Can the guy play? Is he a legitimate backup? Do
we move on from Cooper Rush? Or could he be
traded Dak Preston, Dak Prescott's your quarterback, that's you know,
that's unimpeachable. He is your guy. But Trey Lance, Hey,
is he worth that fourth round pick? Do we let
(40:11):
him go? I would like to know that.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
I'd like to go back and question that fourth round
pick for him, because, well, here's the thing. If you
had not signed Dak Prescott before the season, as I
said not to, because you let the season play out
and then you have financial options, then you play Trey
Lance because maybe you'd go in a completely different direction.
They didn't do that. They could compound a mistake.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
They didn't listen to me. They didn't listen to me.
Jerry never listens to me, as much as I try
to plead with him. All right, coming up, Matt Lainer
will join us. Also Chase Daniel, former quarterback in the NFL.
More of your phone calls as well. One hour in
the Books on this Tuesday. Two more to go.
