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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The final hour of the program. John Smoltz was on
the call for Fox Sports last night as the Dodgers
and Padres are going to go to a game. Five
Guardians at the Tigers. Tigers trying to close out the Guardians.
That'll be coming up later on today. The Yankees at
the Royals. The Yankees won last night even though they
only had four hits. The Niners at the Seahawks tonight

(00:26):
is spicy. That's Seahawks getting three and a half eight
seven to seven three DP show email ADDRESSDP at Danpatrick
dot com, Twitter headlyt TP show. Good morning, those watching
on Peacock, our streaming partner, and our radio affiliates around
the country, numbering over four hundred cities. First hour, we
talked a lot of baseball. We did talk about Aaron

(00:47):
Rodgers and trying to push away from the blame table
that he was not to be blamed for Robert Sala
being fired. I don't think he said anything. I think
his play got Robert Sla fired or helped get Robert
Sala fired. And now we see what they do. What
changes are made offensively, is something going to change for

(01:08):
the Jets because you can put blame on Robert Sala
that maybe wasn't a head coach, but he was a
good defensive head coach. And that defense has played really,
really well. And you got a game on Monday night
hosting the Buffalo Bills that if you win, you're in
first place. Congratulations. All right. Poll question Seaton for hour
two is going to be what.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Switching one over here to something Paul sent about analytics. Okay,
I'm going to change it up just a little bit.
Paul has analytics are an essential part of the progression
of sports or sucks slash, get off my lawn. So
I was good considering putting that as analytics are ruining

(01:52):
the game or valuable to the game.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I mean they are both. Yes, they are valuable, but
to me, it's just way too much. Paulie, would you
like to make your case.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, I know analytics in business are probably a really
smart thing. In sports, it gives an air of predictability
to decisions, to plays in games and so forth. And
that's bad when when you kind of know by analytics
even they put them up on the screen during football
games that well they should do this here or that
here it makes the game a little more predictable. To

(02:27):
the fan watching, I think.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, I don't like the win probability. I don't like
any of that stuff. Now this team has one percent
of winning, one percent chance, and then they come back
and win. I just I don't need all those numbers.
I don't need exit velocity, like don't I don't need
any of that stuff. I don't need spin rate. There
are times when you just want to watch the game.

(02:52):
It feels like there's if you go back and look
at an old game boy, I'm going to sound like
it off my lawn. There's nothing on the screen. And
it's weird because I remember when they started to clutter
the screen and I go, oh, this is terrible. I'm
watching last night, the Phillies and the Mets. I have
to struggle to find out how many outs there are

(03:14):
because it's like, you got this and that and this
and that and pitch count then and I'm going, oh
my god. And here's part of the problem is each
network has their own graphics. Therefore it's not universal and
I'm going, how how many how many outs? Is this?
I oh, okay, And I know it's a little thing,

(03:36):
but there's it's information overload, and I think part of
watching sports is watching it, not being told what to
watch or reminded of what you're watching. I don't care
what the you know, the exit velocity of Francisco Lindor's
Grand Slam was. I do care about the location of

(03:58):
the pitch or maybe the velocity of the pitch if
it was ninety three and down. Okay, I know we
get caught up and if you're not throwing a hundred,
then what's wrong with you? And I think as we
move forward, if I'm a pitching coach, and we'll talk
to John Smoltz about this, can you find pitchers not throwers,

(04:22):
because you're they're all brought up now to throw throw hard.
Now you're going to try to find somebody who doesn't
throw hard, has location, has movement, and then convince your
ownership that this is the guy you should try to sign.
Everybody throws hard. All of these guys come in. If

(04:42):
you don't throw ninety seven ninety eight, like, what's wrong
with you? And I do think that I'm always the
Let's be you know, have a counter attack here, Let's
have a running game in the NFL. Let's be different
than those trying to throw the ball all the time,
and does if somebody do a this is the kind

(05:03):
of pitcher that we're looking for. I always go back
to Whitey Herzog's Cardinals in the eighties. They had a
lineup for their ballpark. They had speed, and they made
you pay. And I always wonder if I know that
half of my games I have such an advantage on
you because now you have to deal with me. So

(05:26):
now I've got a team that can run. What are
you going to do about it? That's half the games
at my home, and my lineup is built for my
ballpark there. I just think that's such an advantage instead
of hey, let's all try to hit home runs well.
Not everybody does it. Not everybody does it well. And

(05:48):
I think that's where I love where you have that
they're doing something different. Now, Army football and Navy football
have to do something different. They are anomalies. They have
to be because they're not getting big time recruits. They
have to beat you with a system. But guaranteed, by
the end of the year, one of those teams is

(06:09):
going to be maybe dangling right there on the edge
of the twelve team playoff because they do something that's different. Now,
nobody wants to play in that style. If you want
to play in the NFL, you don't go you know,
I'm going to go to West Point because I like
the way they run block. I mean, it just doesn't happen.
They're undersized. They have a system. I like when teams

(06:30):
have a system, like Golden State created a system everybody
tried to emulate, nobody could emulate. When they're on, there's
nobody better. And they created this style that we're just
going to shoot threes. Well, if you go back to
Providence College back in the eighties with Rick Patino, he

(06:50):
created that. Paul Westead, Loyola Marymount, we're going to do
something completely different. Those are the innovators that I love.
I love watching the strategy of we do something different.
Even now pictures. You know you're a starting pitcher, What
does that mean? Now you have starting relievers? Hey, go

(07:12):
in there and give me two winnings at best if
you can. Eight pitchers for the Dodgers last night, six
pitchers for the Tigers and they both won both that shutouts,
And that's the future of this. So what I'm getting
at is I like when teams are willing to change
to do something different, like the Ravens should be a

(07:33):
run first team, and they got away from that against
Kansas City and they lost last year. I truly believe
if they stay with a game plan, commit to the
game plan, don't panic with the game plan, they could
have won the Super Bowl. And now you have Derick Henry.
I don't want you to throwing the ball. Dereck Henry,
I believe, is going to join us on the program

(07:54):
tomorrow as he surpasses ten thousand yards, and I think,
by all accounts, is you know, a Hall of Famer.
Paully did say when he found out that Derrick Henry
was going to join us. Who's had more fifty yard
or more runs in the NFL in the last twenty
five years, let's say twenty four years, go back to

(08:16):
the year two thousand, who has because it seems like
Derrick Henry has a lot of those. Any other guesses
on the most fifty yard are you?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Are we playing the who has the most fifty yard
run since two thousand?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think so, I think, And we got theme music
for that just for this game. Yeah two thousand, Yes,
all right, So.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I'll give you the number of the leader all time,
not the name this gentleman.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Now we're talking from two thousand, from two.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Thousand until now. Okay, so not necessarily active, but they
could be active. Okay, that helps you not at all. Okay,
this person has twenty five runs of fifty plus yards,
he's the all time leader. Second place only has seventeen
in comparison, and then a bunch of that twelve to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
But you're saying the all time leader from two thousand
and one.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I also have all time. But we're gonna start with
from two thousand until now.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, Todd, do you have a guess.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I don't know why Ladanian Tomlinson came to mind.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Okay, seat O'Connor, Adrian Peterson, Maravin, that's my guess. Yeah,
I'm gonna go Derrick Henry.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'll start with the Ladanian Tomlinson guests. He's third in
the past twenty five years with fourteen.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well done, Todd, well done it on his birthday. The
whistle gets me Todd's birthday. There you go, yeah, ten ten.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Derrick Henry is second with seventeen fifty plus yard runs.
This guy could have a lot more if he didn't
miss thirty three games in his career for numerous things.
Adrian Peterson's twenty five runs of fifty yards or more.

(10:01):
I throw out some other names, some surprising names. Michael
the Berner turner from Northern Illinois. He played for a
few different teams like the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Eleven eleven, Todd eleven.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Saquon Barkley has twelve in a short period of time.
D'Angelo Williams, Chris Johnson, Frank Gore, the compiler.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Wow, Tiki barber alas boy friend.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
I mean, I like him, you got like his stats. Okay,
we're gonna go back even further. We're gonna go back
to nineteen eighty five on most fifty plus yard runs.
I'm going back to eighty five. Think of the luminaries
from Tony dor Set. Because Tony dor Set started in
the late a few years earlier. It's not calculated with.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
All his Okay, yes, Martin, Eric Dickerson.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Again, Eric Dickerson because of when he started. A couple
are cut off. Todd, Joe Morris of the Giants, extremely wrong,
think a little think a little more late eighties nineties in.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Today, like Ada FM station, like a hot A station.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah you know, mixing little for the variety.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, yes, Martin Barry Sanders.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Who thinks Barry Sanders is the winner?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Here I do.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Barry Sanders is second with twenty four runs of fifty
plus yards. Adrian Peterson still the top dog dawg with
twenty five. Now here's a thing. We double checked Barry
Sanders first two years in the NFL, he had zero runs,
none runs of fifty plus yards, and then he ripped
it up for the next eight years.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Over raided.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
A couple more names in there, worked on Bred Taylor's
in the mix, right Fred another overlook guy. Yeah, Robert Smith,
former Vikings running back track star.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
He can put them Ohio State Buckeye.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
He could pick him up and put him y.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes, he could. Is they like to say Maurice Clarette
could pick him up. He couldn't put him down. R Yeah, damn.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
He should have put some other things down before gotten
that car offense.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Remember Maury's man, that was a big deal. That was
the thing. Like his freshman year when there was an
interception in the National title game, I think, and then
he took the ball away from the guy who picked
off you know whoever. Ohio State's quarterback lies back then?
Was that Crimson crims o Blue Blue Marvin.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Yes, he had a very small cup of coffee with
the Broncos number twenty. Maurice Clarette played very little, if
at all, something he may not have known. Jerry Rice
actually was a Bronco very briefly wearing number nineteen.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I know I did see that new commercial. Is it
like lazed potato chips and it's Jerry Rice and Emmett
and Marino fantastic. It's not good.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
You don't like the plays on his wrist, gotta put
his glasses.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, the Jerry Ryce amn't sleeping like Jerry Rice. I
think believes he could still play today.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
He did the commercial begrudgingly.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yes, I think that he feels like he could still play.
I mean it was okay not being able to read this.
I haven't seen that one. I just I saw Emmett
where he's asleep on the bench and then what is
Jerry Rice's like. I don't know what make fun of
Jerry Rice.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
But Marino in the huddle puts glasses on because it's
all blurry.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Though I haven't seen that one. I haven't seen that,
but I'll laugh when I do. All right, So Chris
Berman set to join us. We'll get to phone calls
coming up. And so we got our pole question. We
got baseball today, we got baseball tonight, and we got
football tonight. The Niners and the Seahawks. The Seahawks are
getting three and a half. Aaron Rodgers, I guess cleared

(13:54):
the air with Pat McAfee, although I still think he's
to blame a large portion for him and the offense
because if they play better, Robert Salad does not get fired,
plain and simple. They beat Denver, they beat Minnesota, they
put up some points here. Robert Salmon's not getting fired.

(14:15):
So do I think Aaron got him fired by going
in and saying to management fire him. No, I do not,
But I do think his play got Robert Sala fired.
Chris Berman joins us next.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Chris Berman, Hall of Fame broadcaster, Chris and Booger McFarlane,
host of NFL Primetime every Sunday night during the NFL
season on ESPN Plus, and Chris Berman Allen his forty
fifth year at the Mothership. Wow, how you doing?

Speaker 6 (14:58):
I'm good? Are you proud of you? Listen? I I
had the white shot just before we started. I was
trying to identify all the do dads in front of it,
you know, in front of your microphone. But that would
take several hours of inventory, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Would you like to donate something to the man Cave?

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Let me I have rooms here which the doors closed
that I can't get in anymore, so I'm sure there's
something there of interest. I'm not sure what I'll get
back to you.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Dan. You know what I would love if you'd be
willing to do this One of your famous jackets that
you wore on Sports Center. Maybe an autograph mauve sport
coat that I could that I could that I could
frame and put up here in the man Cave. Would
you be open to that?

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, well, I have to check that. That's a whole
other closet. The one that you really wanted is it
was before even you were with us for the Getting Red.
We looked like Marriott Bellman, you know, for a while
there in the eighties. And the thing is you wouldn't
need as large a frame for those jackets, as you

(16:07):
would now, so you're you know, I'll look into it.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
All right. I appreciate that. But when you look back,
how wild was the wild West when you first got
to ESPN Because I got there a few years after
you guys launched, because I was at CNN at the time.
But the guys who were there talked about that was
was it the wild West when you guys were doing
Sports Center?

Speaker 6 (16:31):
Well, it was the wild West in which we at
the very very beginning, there were what you know, the
seventy or eighty of us in the hole that did
everything from president of the company to someone that kept
track of the tapes. We were all just about all
of us really young twenties and thirties. We were rebels

(16:52):
without a clue, but we got to do sports all
the time. And it's hard for a lot of your
you know this, but it's hard for a lot of
your under forty especially listeners viewers, Dan understand the table
for Yeah, he asked that twenty four hour sports, what
do you guys, nuts Walter Kronkite gets thirty minutes for

(17:15):
the news of the entire world, and you're gonna talk
about tennis and budapets com for five minutes. Are you so?
I mean, I'm kidding a little, but but it was
more would Cable even make it? But we didn't. I
don't want to say we didn't care. I mean my
dad would say, you think it's gonna make it, Chris,

(17:36):
I went, if it makes it two years. Personally I'll be.
I'll be. I'll know if I'm any good and at
it or not. And in the meantime, I'm doing the
show at two thirty in the morning Eastern nice drive
home at four A during a snowstorm. The plows didn't
come to five. But it was just sports, so there

(17:59):
was a camaraderie. It's like startups that make it, but
it was more this and I'll end this answer with
in retrospect, we rode cables coat tails, as did CNN,
which started in nineteen eighty. We were seventy nine at
MTV when it was MTV was what eighty two something

(18:20):
like that. I think, so those three used to pick
out a few road cables coattails, but then Cable wrote
ours at CNN included you know, so it's kind of
an interesting progression and a straight up progression which now
of course cable is not what were we in over

(18:43):
one hundred homes, one hundred homes, a hundred million homes.
But back then I wouldn't trade it for anything. We
were just we were just like I said, we were
Lewis and Clark without a compass. But we loved every
minute of it.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And I don't know if there was a moment that
all of a sudden it changed at the ESPN. Was
there acquisition or college basketball felt like Big Monday was
a big deal. But do you remember if there was
like that, Oh my gosh, If not for that, then

(19:20):
maybe we don't have the ESPN.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Okay, So the answer I was going to go with,
but it wouldn't apply here eight years in when we
got the Sunday Night Football eight games and prime time
went or not that I would do in the show
and nothing could do with it. But that was the
we're really going to be a major Maybe not at

(19:44):
the time, networks are a major player. So that's not
the answer. I don't know. College basketball was the good
idea along with Sports Center Dan that you and Keith
progressed from where Tommy and Bob and George and go
on and on and on and so many others contributed

(20:04):
to it. We had college hoops on, you know, in
the middle of the week, right out of the gates,
and that was let alone the tournament, and so that
was a hmm. And then I don't want to say
the NFL Draft because we'd have it on Tuesday morning
at eight am. But again, it was a thing that
you had to kind of find us if you really

(20:25):
cared about it. But was there in a one aha moment.
I'll give you it's not the answer. But you'll find
this interesting because you probably don't. So the year sailboat
racing not normally something that I would go to you
and I talking about, Okay, the year that the America's
Cup fell to the Australians with the Wayne Keel in

(20:45):
Newport at nineteen free. Now, of course this was like
a Cuban election, the America's Cup up to that point,
like we would win, okay, like they'd have to sail
across from Europe. It couldn't build the boat over here.
I mean, that's one of the many rules that you
don't think they were starting as a fifteen point underdog.
Course of course they were, but it was the seventh

(21:07):
and deciding race and a Providence station had a helicopter
or two and we picked up the feed on a Tuesday,
I want to say a Tuesday after on at three
o'clock Eastern, and the ratings, which whatever they were at
the time, were through the roof. I mean, it's not
the Super Bowl, but you mean people are finding ESPN.

(21:30):
They heard and somebody called someone in their off Hey
watched the seventh and deciding race of the America's Cup
and the offsees beat the Americans. And that was a
moment to myself that I went, you know, maybe we're
actually onto something. So that's not the defining moment, but
there's a moment that you and I didn't think we

(21:52):
would be talking about ten minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
How much gambling was going on in the early days
of ESPN.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
We were all interested in the games. We didn't have
a lot of money, myself included. So as far as
it being dangerous and getting out of whack, you know,
there were a few that I better hit the Monday

(22:20):
night game, and that's what I'm nervous about to this
day when anybody can do it at any time. But
it was more fun. Here's the fun that we had
one time So we had our our softball team that
played at ten am, right because we worked either at
all three in the morning or at least midnight or one.

(22:41):
And it was with a couple of bars in Hartford
Post Office, the night post Office group, and I think
the fee was twenty five bucks Dan to play as
a team, you know, each person, and we want to play.
We got to put up five on it, whatever it was.
And it was on me, which is a lot of pressure. Okay,

(23:02):
we need a this is February or March. We're gonna
put whatever it was a lunch back, like, okay, we're
all going in for twenty five bucks on on some
college basketball game or an April baseball game. A lot
of pressure. I was three for three, So I was

(23:27):
a hero, I guess, not because I might be able
to hit the ball, But to be honest with you,
it's more like for fun. It wasn't. It wasn't a
lot of and I'm glad it wasn't. I mean people
at mortgage payments later on and shouldn't be doing that.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
We're talking to Chris Berman, the Hall of Famer. You
got the Pete Roselle Award. Was that twenty ten Hall
of Fame. Yes, can we get Brent Musburger in the
Hall of Fame for contributions to the game for the
Pete Roselle Award.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
He should have been in there long before me. I mean,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I mean he started the pregame show.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yes, I wanted to be him, to be honest with you,
one of the goals I have, Boy, if I could,
if I could be Brent, that'd be pretty cool. Wherever
it was that I was going to beat Brett, I'm not.
And I don't think I ever became Brant. I had
his quote job. So that's that's crazy. I don't know

(24:28):
what it. Maybe it was because I don't know why
I'm not on. You know, they don't We're not on
any committee Dan that you know, former winner winners, Pat
or what. Do you think we're not asked. I'm not
saying we should be. I'm not sure how that selection goes.
They obviously let a lot of things slide when I

(24:49):
got in. But but but yeah, the fact that I
I just assume, I know he's not, but I always assume,
of course he is. I entered the job. The NFL
today was for us growing up. But you know, It's amazing.
That was half an hour. Yeah, we went on on

(25:12):
game day at the time, you guys going to do
an hour and then an hour and a half. It was,
oh my god, the earth, the sky is falling. So yeah,
he should has a good comment. I mean, you know,
I'm sure you've debated on your show Pete Rose baseball,
let alone bonds and clements. But Brent, for this is

(25:32):
not at the He is at the same level in
our business at all time. Giant.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I know you agree, Yeah I do. I was wondering
about this with the Jets. Why are certain franchises cursed?
You've been a Jets fan for a long time.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
I grew up at Chase Stadium. I wore white shoes
into home room in eighth grade the day after they
won the Super Bowl. The bad news. That was an
nineteen sixty eight season. Okay, so it's not like they've

(26:09):
never you know, Rex Ryan herm at him in the playoffs.
I mean, it's not like they have the tarp in Miami.
I mean, the Jet fans know all this. I don't
know that we could put our finger on it. It's
not that they're I still think they're probably more giant

(26:30):
fan than Jet fans, but than they to do with it.
I don't know. They're like, you're right, They're like pig
Pen and Charlie Brown, right, like they there's a cloud.
And I don't know that this lifts it with the
coaching change, will see, because they've all in with Aaron

(26:52):
and they my god, he's the Hall of Famer and
let's see what he's got. But however, this year turns out,
and I know we want to play longer, I'm not.
I don't have a solid answer for fifty plays, you know,
and then the longest drought of getting in. There's a
lot of eye rolling with the Jets. And there are

(27:13):
the Jets, right, I mean, and they've had good teams,
they have a great fan base, but and they everybody
spells j Ets correctly. I think spelling be right.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
What happens first, you retire or the Jets go to
the Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 (27:37):
Oh I retire? I think. I mean that sounds like
I'm not. I don't think they're going to get there
this year. They could. I mean, they put all in
and then wherever Aaron takes him this and or next year,
and then when he's out, they reshuffle the decks, So

(27:58):
that's not looking good. I'm not doing this till I'm
seventy years in the business stand I mean, I you know,
I may not do it till fifty. It's not the
point to put the point, wouldn't it be at ESPN
for fifty years. I didn't think of it till the summer. Actually,
when hey, you're going to be forty five years really
means I'm old. So that's like the Casey Stenkel quote,

(28:21):
which you remember nineteen sixty two, the forty and one
twenty New York Mets. It's a good question. I thought
of this as soon as you asked it with a
forty and one twenty which the White Sox lost more games,
but at forty one and one twenty one, their percentage
is still a little better than those Mets, so they
didn't quite get out of the book. By the way,

(28:43):
Casey said the manager man will walk on the moon
before the Mets win the World Series. Yeah, of course
he was right, but it was only seven years later,
nineteen sixty nine summer they walked October they won. Yeah, no,
they'll They're probably in the waiting room for a while still.

(29:04):
I look, I may not get that far I got.
You know, who knows if they'll have me. I hope.
So that's I like what I do still, and I
think prime Time is still fun for people to watch.
I mean I still hear about it and I do
some other things, and it's not about me. It's like
I still think the one thing about prime Time and

(29:28):
I went to Jimmy Petero a while ago. I said,
you think we can get the rights for this is
ESPN plus thing is new twenty nineteen. It's a big impetus.
Maybe that's the last thing I can help you put
on the map. You know, I'll come back and do it.
And it's not us alone. But they're in thirty five
million as opposed to three million homes. Well three million
homes is what we were in when nineteen seventy nine.

(29:50):
To get back to your question, So I feel fulfilled
and that it helped propel one last thing. It's not
really about me, it helped us. What do you think
I'm not retiring? I mean, I ain't going past fifty.
I can't even see that Jets win a Super Bowl
in five years.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
No, probably not, I hope. Before I let you go
the nickname that youth. That is the most underrated one
of your nicknames that you use during doing sports centered
down the highlights.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
Well, because the famous BERKELEYE. Homble eleven, you're not talking
about those, Julio, won't you let me take you on
a sea cruise? I mean, I mean that's the fund
underrated ones that applied to where a player play. And
you know you don't you can't invent those. Royce Clayton

(30:48):
was a shortstop of San Francisco, Royce o'rony Clayton Creek.
And then this was actually being an American history major.
Denza could question. Carlos Piego was a really good player,
mostly with the Indians, right, I could still say the Indians,
that's what they were. But he came to Boston late

(31:11):
in his career, and I'm like, okay, one of Carlos,
one of filand two of by Ce, three of fire,
and I thought that was that was fitting at Boston.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
Those are the kind of ones that took a little
extra maybe twenty seconds of limited brain power rather than
ten seconds. I'm not bad, right.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, great to see you. Forty five in counting.
Go get them U what's your number?

Speaker 6 (31:42):
How long you've been in the business close.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
To me, I've been doing it forty years, so I
got I got an endgame. Though. Christmas Eve of twenty
twenty seven going to pull the plug on this show.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
I mean, all the Christmas lights go out, you just
do it.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
What happens to this stuff in front of the desk though,
I'm concerned.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
This is the Dansonian and we're just going to let
people come in, I guess, and take a tour, you know,
see all the stuff that I've compiled for forty years,
and they'll be able to see your jacket, the autograph
jacket that we're going to get from you soon.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
I want to see it. Mauv is still it's a word,
it's a color that's kind of gone out of style,
so therefore I'm not looking to wear it. Listen, I'm
proud of where you've gone, not since you with us,
but I've told you that before Sports Illustrated writing for
while these shows you're still must listen, so people enjoy you,

(32:49):
people enjoy your point of view, the guests you're able
to get other than this one, and I much appreciated,
proud of you. And look, we're survivors. Dan, not quite
sure how we are, but we are.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
We're dinosaurs, well that's for sure.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
And we may not be t rex. We may be
like stegosaurs.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's okay. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Chris.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Nice to see you.

six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, the Jets have a new play caller for Monday Night.
Todd Downing used to be with the Tennessee Titan, so
he is your play caller. That was just announced. Well,
things are gonna change, they have to be better, right, yeah, Paul.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
But they're the same plays, right that the sheet is
the same. He just picks different ones in different orders.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
No, I think he might have different ideas on plays.
I hope. I don't think you run the same plays,
just a different person calling those plays that wouldn't be good. Yeah, seton.
It's like I don't design them. I just call him
a little odd though. They need a little creativity in there.

(34:29):
That's what they need. It's a little elementary. Yeah, my dear,
is that what they're saying? I think so? Uh. Julian
Oregon joining us. Hi Julie, what's on your mind today?

in for you. It's an ice cream cake that's wonderful
and that will be served up in about an hour
from now.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yes, Paul, ice cream cakes are a bit dicey after
the initial usage.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, I think there's a there's an expiration, not a date,
but a time.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Do you put it in the fridge or the freezer
after first run through?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
I know you put it in the freezer and then
around two three in the morning you take it out
and go to town.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Thank you, all right. Brian in Kentucky, Hi Brian, what's

my question about the ice cream cake, Todd, And I
think you will appreciate this is ice cream cake? Really cake?

(37:40):
And do you have cake on the side with your
ice cream cake?

Speaker 7 (37:45):

like a marble cake plus the iceman.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
No, no, no, no, you got one cake. It's an
ice cream cake. And that's what you ask for. And
that's it.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Key the crunchies, as long as it has those chocolate little.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Crunk got an ice cream cake and then that's what
I got you. And that is it.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
That's plenty.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
You're lucky to have that.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
Okay, that's a worthwhile question. Is an ice cream take
take it?

Speaker 2 (38:07):
High Spring, Cindy and North Carolina High Cindy.

Speaker 11 (38:11):
Hi Dan, how are you doing? Happy birthday for sea?

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Thank you?

Speaker 11 (38:17):
So just listening to the whole discussion about Aaron Rodgers
and the dysfunction of the Jets. By the way, I'm
self and sand so I'm happy to have that dysfunction
going on in the division. But it led me to
think about the pressure that's placed on all of the
New York sports franchises. And I think the last of

(38:40):
heirs telling the major sports teams the last win was
what the Giants in twenty eleven. So I'm curious, Dan,
with your great knowledge of all things sports, what franchise
do you think will win the next championship for the
New York Oh?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
With New York? Okay, Well, won't be the Giants of
the Jets. The Mets have that team of destiny field
to them. I mean, are we including the Rangers in
this or the Islanders in this? New York New York
Knicks in this? Let's let's have let's be happy.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
The Knicks are good.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, we're not ready to win a title. I don't think, oh, Orr, Well.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Come on Manhattan, Queensland.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, hm, hm, who's got the best chance to win
the sixth Borough? All say the I'm gonna go with
the Mets. How about that, We're gonna that team of
destiny maybe it's the Mets, maybe not. There is that

(39:56):
feel though, and keep in mind, I think they started
out ohing five than the some somehow in five five
how they make it unbelievable turnaround, one of the great
turnarounds in history. When you start out I believe oh
and five. But they did it one hundred and sixty
two games. So the next one hundred and fifty six games,
one hundred and fifty seven games, they're going to be

(40:20):
a thirty for thirty on this turnaround. After those first
five games. John Smoltz recaps Dodgers Padres
