Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Monday, Dan and the Dan
ats Dan Patrick Show. We're kind of sniping at each other.
I don't know. Morale's not as high as I thought
it was going to be. Thought it was going to
be a celebratory Oh my god, Dan made it in
after surgery and it quickly dissolved. It just doesn't feel
(00:25):
like we're on the same page. But we have two
more hours to entertain a nation. Every day is a
Super Bowl, So I'm going to ask you guys to
put your problems, your bias, whatever it might be, to
the side. Marvin, I've already moved on from the fact
you're the only Dan ed who did not reach out
to me over the weekend to check on my health.
But you're not bringing that up again. I will not
(00:46):
bring that up again. Moved on, I have. But Todd
is here, the Minister of humor. It would be nice
if we had some maybe started out, maybe we get
momentum around a little bit higher. Okay, seating's here, Marvin's here,
PAULI and yours truly the Hall of Famer. Steve Young
will join us on the program coming up, we have football.
It's a doubleheader coming up tonight. You have the hardball
(01:10):
boys who will be in action, not against one another, Ravens, Bucks,
Chargers and the Cardinals. We have to wait, We have
to wait till Friday. But it is the matchup that
I think most baseball fans wanted to see. It's the
Yankees and the Dodgers. This will be the eleventh World
Series between these two, the most frequent matchup in baseball history. Now,
(01:33):
Dodgers Stadium has hosted one hundred and eleven postseason games,
most of any active park, second most in baseball history.
The original Yankee Stadium was one hundred and sixty one.
You also had the Dodgers in Mets. That's the first
postseason series of six or more games in baseball history
where every game was decided by at least four runs.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Start up a game Today Statu the Day Statu of
the Day, Statu to day Statup Day Statu to day Statu.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Stat of the Day brought to you by a Panini America,
the official trading card to The Dan Patrick Show. If
you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, thank you for
downloading the app once again, it is a harness that
my arm is in. Looks like I might have had
elbow surgery, but it's shoulder surgery. Or as Paulie says,
I think Barry Bonds wore that when he came to
(02:29):
the plate, and you might be accurate with that. But
I wanted to have some muted tones. I didn't want
this to stand out and take over the show. The
fact that my shoulder is probably bleeding as we speak.
But that's okay, so is my heart for good programming today.
So let's all come together, all right, who's with me?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
All right, come on, alright. I'd love to clap, but
I can't. I've got only one hand that I can
do that air clap. Hey, all right. Poll question from
our one is what Seaton and what's going to be
hour two?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm so glad that you asked dan our one we
have up there. Who are you rooting for Dodgers Yankees?
Or can they both lose?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Fifty two percent are asking that they both. However, when
you divide it just between the two teams, twenty nine
percent rooting for the Dodgers, followed by just nineteen percent
with the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, here's a strange question, and Jeff Passing from the
Mothership Covers Baseball gonna join us a little bit later.
Could the Yankees actually be an underdog in the World Series?
Do they feel under dogish this year? It's because we
haven't seen them in the World Series in a long time.
(03:52):
The Yankees could be underdogs, yes, Martin, and.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I think so because the big free agent acquisition went
to the and not the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I couldn't help but think as the Dodgers were celebrating
last night, what must might Trout be thinking, because he
has to look at this situation and say, you know,
five six years ago, you know, the direction probably wasn't
very good.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
In fairness to the Angels, they did try to surround
him with talent. It didn't work, although they did use
one of their drafts and I think every one of
their picks was pitchers that they figured they would get
maybe one or two out of that. But if you're
Mike Trout, you may only play in three postseason games
in your career unless you leave the Angels. Meanwhile, here's
(04:41):
Otani and people are like, oh, he should stay there,
And I'm thinking the direction of the franchise is not
why would you want to stay there. Baseball benefited because
you got him into Los Angeles, you got him on
a big stage, you got him with a team that's
going to the postseason. And now you have Judge and Soto,
(05:03):
and you have Garrett Cole, and you have Otani, Mooky Bentz.
Hopefully Freddie Freeman is healthier. This is what you want
with Major League Baseball.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Are the Dodgers favorite, Paulie, Yeah, They're a slight favorite
in a series overall, obviously Game one at home, they're
a favorite. But overall in the series, Dodger's slight favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, And it's weird to say, boy, this series will
come down to the bullpen or non starters, and that
might be what it is. But we'll talk to Jeff Passon.
He'll join us coming up in an hour from now.
Steve Young in about fifteen minutes from now. As we
recap what we saw over the weekend. We don't have
an update on Deshaun Watson, but the non contact injury
(05:46):
looks like the achilles and he would be done for
the year and maybe for his Cleveland career. Eight seven
seven to three DP show email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com Twitter
handle a DP show. We'll get to more of your
phone calls best and Worst of the weekend, and we
have a new poll question up there as well. Raj
in Chicago, Hey Roj, welcome back. What do you have
(06:07):
for me today?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Good morning, mister Patrick. I'm glad to hear you back
and doing well. Before I get my best and worst?
Is it possible to write in Tyler for Dan Edit
of the Year because MOTHERDN let me down. Man, I
can't believe he didn't call you this weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Man, Yeah, yeah, but we're past that. We're past that.
Tyler took me to the hospital. Tyler asked if he
could get scrubs and that he could get surgical gloves
as well. That he you know, where you stand at
the sink and then they, you know, they dry your hands,
Like Tyler wanted to stay there throughout the surgery and
be the first person I saw Hi when I woke up,
(06:42):
and I said, no, my daughter is going to pick
me up. You you run along. You've done enough, Tyler,
thank you? Yeah, suh.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Some of us here wondering on this side if Tyler
at this point has power of attorney.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Major life decisions. You know, uh, he might. He was
my emergency contact, though that's not a joke. That part wasn't.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
He offered to donate his healthy shoulder to replace yours,
but then we found out it was not a shoulder replacement.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yes, emergency contact. Who would you like us to call
in case of an emergency? How about Tyler?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They were like your wife. I go, no, no, she's busy.
How about Tyler? And then they're like, okay, give us
Tyler's number? Your son Tyler? No, no, no, he just
he answers phones at my radio show. And so Tyler
drops me off and he goes like, are you good?
I mean, I'm just dropping you off in the parking.
(07:39):
I said, ty it's okay. He goes, I'll go in
with you. I go, no, no, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But no.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He could be the BRG of the year, the backroom guy,
but not the well the way things are going with
the dan Nettes, he probably could get some most Valuable
Danette votes too. Marvin is not going to get any
but once again we moved. Has that no need to
check in on my health over the weekend, Marvin, I'm
glad you're doing well. Thank you thoughts and prayers. Uh, Roger,
(08:06):
I cut you off. Did you have something else to say?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Sorry? But no problem. Best of the week the Browns
players were sticking up at Deshaun Watson. I don't care
for me either, but it was good to, you know,
stick up for him after you know, the fans did
what they did, and my worst, I think it's time
for Aaron Rodgers to retire for this year. This is it,
the show is over.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, okay, that's not going to happen. They're not going
to shut him down there. You know, it's not one
of those where they go, hey, we're in a rebuild.
You're going to be rebuilding. No, even if you won
the Super Bowl this year, the Jets would be in
a rebuild either next year or the following year because
Aaron Rodgers will retire and then you're going to have
(08:47):
to bring in a new coach. You got to bring
in you know, new quarter like. So, no matter what,
you had a finite amount of time and it's not working.
And Aaron Rodgers did not play well. He didn't get
helped out. I mean Garrett Wilson should have had a
catch and at ricocheted and they ended up scoring a
touchdown eventually off the interception. But Aaron Rodgers getting testy
(09:09):
with a reporter after last night's loss, How do.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You get everybody to keep the belief and it seems
like a lot of the same mistakes.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Stop listening to you guys. Number one, Number two. Gotta
be accountable, you know. I gotta play better. That's the key.
I gotta play better, to find a way to run
the ball better so we can action pass. You know,
I thought did some nice things in the passing game, obviously,
(09:36):
had a couple of really nice ones. Spread the ball
around to Tag and Allen Mike had a nice conversion.
But we got to run the ball better, and I
gotta play better.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, gotta stop listening to you guys. Really, So, if
Pat McAfee asked that same question tomorrow to Aaron Rodgers,
would you have said the same thing, because that's a
fair quest question. I mean, it's kind of one of
those who swat away You're gonna answer it. Got to
(10:07):
stop listening to you guys.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Really, yeah, I would be like, I mean, you can't
possibly play any better than this.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Why aren't you guys winning if you're playing so well? Uh,
get a little testy there, A little testy there by.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
The way, some people pointing out, Uh, why doesn't Alan
Lazard have a nickname? Gotta spread the ball around to
tag Alan.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh yeah, did you dude? I thought we were like
cool like that. I just stick with Alan. Hey, come on,
I don't want to be just Alan. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's not something like you know, a dog or something.
It's like, yeah, ta g Alan.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Call me the lizard, call me lizard. Well, your name's Wizard. No,
call me laz or something like that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Let's just stick with Allan.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay, did you notice? And maybe I noticed too many
silly things. Russell Wilson Junior, the third had a handshake
for I think everybody last night, like an individual handshake. Wow.
And I guess all of those weeks where he's not practicing,
maybe he was working on that or being able to play,
but it felt like everybody that he came in contact
(11:17):
with he had a special handshake there.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Yes, Paul, if you saw his pregame interview, I don't
know who's doing the interview. It's almost like one of
those toys you get at the kid and you pull
press the button or pull the back and has a
series of sayings that they repeat, but they only have
eight sayings.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's specially be here, wasn't it, chatty Kathy? Was there
name where you pulled the string?
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:38):
So it's like there was a Homer Simpson one and
you press a button and had like eight things. Russell
Wilson has seven or eight lines, no matter what the
question is, Like if I said a big game Sunday
night football against a Jets, hi feeling I otor to
be here and sunny football all fired up, just get
the offense together, can't wait.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's why you played the game.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Be on these big stages.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Be on these big stages is an out cute. There's
five lines. What are you doing today to prepare for
this game? Get ready to get mentally focused? Can't wait
to get out there some of that football. The only
variable is the night football that you're on.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I think we need to come up with the Russell
Wilson doll where you just have like, you know, five
or six sayings, just pulled the string and then yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
He is a sitcom character for sure. Look JJ Evans, Hey,
hold on, let me look at the script. Dino might
all right, it says it in there, all right, like,
no matter what, it's always the same thing. Now we're
trying to be cool. Oh, let's get a little handshake everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
So Jimmy Walker JJ Walker reference lay count.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Other times really good times, that's right. I liked his
sister in there, Alma, Yeahlma had some game, was bringing
it and Ja Jackson got involved in Yeah. Okay. Uh
so we did stat of the day, We had our
poll question here more phone called let me get to
Austin in Texas, not to be confused with Austin, Texas.
(12:57):
Hey Austin, good morning, Dan, how are you great? Wonderful,
good person?
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Have a long time five ten and a hard one seventy
hard all right. So my worst of the weekend was
the Texas crowd throwing the bottles on the field. It
was uncalled for. However, that brings me to my best
of the weekend, which was giving the rest more time
(13:24):
to get that horrendous pass interpearance call correct.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I know. And then Kirby Smart was like, oh, you know,
way to go. You set president here where all you
do is throw bottles and uh then you you're going
to give the officials of the replay judge time to
look back on this. By the way, Kirby Smart is
taking receipts the Georgia head coach.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Nobody gave us a chance.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
Your whole network doubted us, nobody believed us, and then
they tried to rob us with calls in this place.
And these guys are so resigue, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
We talked about in Tim what was art Tim? When
we welcome the field?
Speaker 11 (14:04):
Arn Tim was not to take pictures, not to do
all the superstar stuff, aren te Ard.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Tim was to eat team. Okay, he probably had a point.
Embarrassing by the Texas fans. You know, you want to
be big time act big time throwing bottles onto the
field embarrassing, silly and dangerous. And you know Sark is
out there trying to tell them to stop doing this.
But Texas was playing at home. Texas has played well,
(14:34):
Texas number one in the country. So what if ESPN
College Game Day picked them to beat you? Now? Is
he saying that, is he truly bothered or was he
using that for motivation? Probably motivation. He probably said that
to his team. You know, nobody thinks you guys can win.
It's not like your BYU or Iowa State. Here coach,
(14:54):
You're not Mercer, You're not even Vandy, You're Georgia. Aren't
a double digit underdog? Like it wasn't crazy that you
could win that game.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yes, Marvin, It's like when the Warriors won the title,
they're like, nobody ever believed in us, really, no one.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That's where I said, no, no, I did because I
picked him at the beginning of the year. I said
the Warriors are going to win the title. So that's
why I said to Fritzy, I said, anybody on the
Warriors who said you didn't know what he picked us,
let's get him on the show, like get Steve Kerr
on or get Steph Curry on. By the way, NBA
opens tomorrow night.
Speaker 10 (15:31):
That can't be right. Sneaky Rag Snaky.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can't wait for Waldwall coverage of Brownie James. How much,
how much it feels early? How much does he play?
Do they have an over under how much he plays
in his first game?
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't want to spoil it, but we are playing
the Brownie James game tomorrow, oh tomorrow, very specific game. Okay,
can't give it out now. I can't pull the band
aid and move on.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Brownie James game.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Uh how about we take a break here. Hall of
Famer Steve Young will join us. Coming up more of
your phone calls. We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
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 (16:21):
He's a Hall of Famer, a three time Super Bowl champ,
super Bowl MVP, and also could have been Dion Sanders
before Dion Sanders or Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson playing
two different sports. Yes, great football player, but they still
talk about Steve Young the baseball player. If you know
hitters all state, did you get drafted?
Speaker 11 (16:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Are you bitter?
Speaker 8 (16:47):
No?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
I just don't. I don't think that you are remembering
it right.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Hey, look I love baseball, but I pulled everything to
second base man, I did not.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
I was. I was good, but I wasn't great. So
there there you have it.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I got you drafted by the Dodgers in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
All right, that's amazing and I really appreciate that nugget.
I'm I'm gonna go research that one. That one sounds
like somebody should put on the resume.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
How do you not know you were drafted by the
Dodgers twenty fourth round. Dang, i'd be pronously.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
The Dan Patrick Show has brought light today. I had
no idea what happened.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
I had no idea. It's amazing. I mean, honestly, that
is like a revelation. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
What I could have? What I could have been?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I know they didn't even call me.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I know, you know draft then let me know.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You could have been Fernando Vevenzuela.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I could have what I could have been.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
Oh, I could have I could have gotten the opposite way.
Would have taught me how to go the opposite a way.
I could have been big.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
All right, what did we learn from the Niners Chiefs yesterday?
Speaker 12 (18:09):
I think you know they both played about the same
in some ways. But the game today, as I've told
you a thousand times, it's so wide open, and the
prototype quarterback is the guy that jams it in the
end zone somehow in some artistic way, just rolling around.
And that's what Patrick mahomes four or five in the
red zone. We were one and ten in the third down,
(18:31):
which is you know, a third down in the red
zones when that's where it all happens, and there were
four or five in the red zone. I don't you
know we threw interception down there in the second half.
We didn't get down there very much. I mean, when
you get down there, he put it and think about
how the Chiefs put it in the end zone. Just
kind of random stuff that just nothing special, nothing amazing,
(18:52):
nothing artistic. I mean, as far as you know, out
of the huddle, just a bunch of stuff. How about
Patrick Wwhomes running thirty three yards, set it up and
then runs it in himself. That's the game today and
that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, the Chiefs are a defensive team first.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
Well today they are.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
I mean that's what's that's what's amazing about being six
and zero, playing great defense, figuring out ways to win.
Can you imagine when they get it all kind of
rolling after Thanksgiving and get it because Patrick Mahomes is
not gonna they're not gonna wait, they're not gonna be
in January kind of concocting ways.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
To put in the end zone. They're gonna get better
and better.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
And that's what we've got to do, right the forty
nine ers have got to figure out how to way
to turn the page. Brandon looks like he's out for
the season. We've got to figure out ways to put
it in the end zone.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
We have not.
Speaker 12 (19:41):
Last year we were number one by far in red zone.
But it's just you can't in the NFL today. You
can't be the guy that's just gonna go retail and
just call the play in the huddle and expect you're
gonna put in the en zone. You're gonna have to
come up with crazy stuff to put it in. And
we've got to get better at that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What did you think of Russell Wilson last night?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
They asked Russell Wilson to do his special superpower? Right?
Speaker 12 (20:09):
Is that touch pass, back shoulder leading guys in you know,
kind of seam routes Like.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
That's Russell Wilson of old.
Speaker 12 (20:17):
And if that's what they're gonna ask him to do,
that's what Russell Wilson can do really well. And I
was happy for him because it's been such a miserable
twenty four months in his life. I got to imagine that,
you know, have some success and have everyone patty on
the back.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I had to feel really good.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, but you don't have to be great on offense.
With that defense that teams don't even get fifteen points.
But how difficult is that for a quarterback to not
try to do too much because you don't have to
do too much.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
It's really it's a fine, fine, fine line that makes
the job. That's why it's one of the hardest jobs
in sports and one of the hardest jobs anywhere. Is
trying to find you how you fit into a system
that really, you know, the resonates with everybody else. How
do you figure out how to you know, some people
ask way too much of somebody like Josh Allen and
(21:10):
Buffalo Bill's way too much, like stop already, and then
you know Pittsburgh's gonna ask a lot less than How
do you make sure that you don't over overperform, you know,
or overdo it. It's a tough one and I in
today's game, Dan, you can't go to the super Bowl
and win it this way like it's the Kings of
the Kings of the game. Who in the championship games
(21:32):
late in the season's fourth quarter, it's the guys that
can You've seen it, right, it's Lamar, it's Josh, it's
it's Patrick. Of course, it's now young guys like, you know,
maybe c Jy Stroutz becomes that guy Jordan Love. It's
those are the guys that are gonna run run the
table in the super Bowl, in the biggest games in Pittsburgh.
(21:53):
This is old school Pittsburgh Steeler. That's the game's changed.
The rules changed. They they j H defensive roles. It's
the game eight seven, eight years ago is different. So yeah,
old school Pittsburgh Steeler football great, just can't go the distance.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm wondering that we see sometimes with baseball and other sports,
there'll be teams that are built for the regular season
and then they get into the postseason exactly, and then
you run into somebody and it's like they're built for
the postseason, maybe not necessarily for the regular season, like
Super Welson. Why is that? You know that, like the
Cowboys can go to have thirteen wins three consecutive years
(22:32):
they get into the postseason, the Chiefs feel like they're
the opposite that it. I don't care what their record is.
I didn't care what New England's record was with Tom right,
what is it about when you get to the postseason
that you just place the way you play is a
big advantage.
Speaker 12 (22:50):
And today again, the game's changed, so we got to
go into the like you got to move your mind
away from what used to be. All the norms and
the things that were true, they're not. They're different now.
The truth, the truth today is take the Baltimore Ravens
as the example, right really built for the regular season
rank and file, just smashing people with the best running
(23:10):
game in the league, most sophisticated running game in the league,
and great defense, and then they get in the playoffs.
It's about what I just told you, and you'd think
with the amazing artistic potential of Lamar Jackson, but yet
you have to have a sophisticated passing game to run
the table today and to win the big games and
to be a super Bowl champion. Just look at the
(23:32):
last four or five super Bowl champions. It's just just
the way it is. And it's used to be able
to let's put together a number one defense, smash people
and go to a super Bowl. It's not possible anymore.
And so you know, built for the regular season rank
and file wins. There's a few teams like that right now,
and I've put Pittsburgh in there. Baltimore's trying, as you
(23:52):
saw last year with real effort to invest in wide receivers,
invest in a more sophisticated passing game, and let Lamar
be come what I've I've said a thousand times he
could be the greatest player ever played. But you've got
to You've got to put him in a position to
not just you know, run the football and do crazy stuff,
but actually sit in there and decipher, find the truth
(24:16):
and a play and throw it all over the field.
And that's the prototype today. And Lamar is the most
prototype of all the prototypes. But yet the team's not
asking him. They're getting better, they're getting closer to ask
him to do things that can win it in February,
and that's what really matters.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Hall of Famers Steve Young joining is tell me what
Aaron Rodgers is getting at. I'm going to play the question.
You can hear the answer here, Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I know.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
How do you get everybody to keep the belief And
it seems like a lot of the same mistakes.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
To stop listening to you guys. Number one, Number two
gotta be accountable. You know. I gotta play better. That's
the key. I gotta play better. We gotta find a
way to run the ball better so we can action pass.
You know, I thought did some nice things in the
passing Gamebreys. Obviously, I had a couple of really nice ones.
(25:06):
Spread the ball around to tay g and Allen. Mike
had a nice conversion. But we got to run a
ball better and I gotta play better.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Okay, the media is in his head. Why would he
say stop listening to you guys, You don't.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
I've always said it's a three ring circus. They're all
into the same tent, different rings. There's the media, there's
the fans, and then there's the game. But you have
to recognize everybody's in it together. You have to. And
if you try to make.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
Enemies of one of the three rings, you're gonna it's
gonna be painful. It's a painful way to try to
play and find bounty, right, And so when you start
to point people, you know, point well the media, you know,
it's like, it's not worth it. You've got to stay
away from that. It's easy, and it makes you makes
you feel good for a second, but it's not. You
(25:58):
just got out. You have to, you know, it's a
part of what we're doing. Do your job and just
move on. And and if you're not. If you want
to ignore them, then ignore them. But but if you
want to make it something, it's just gonna it makes
it bigger, like stop listening to it makes it makes
it bigger like in so and you know it's it's
(26:19):
a rebound, so it's not worth it. The other things
he said were really great. Right, it's about me, number one.
That's what any great quarterback is gonna say. If you
don't say that, you're not gonna be able to gather
your teammates. They're not going to come fight for you.
So he did a good job there saying, look, it's
about me. Yes, number one, that's the truest truth for
every quarterback. Never lose that truth. Truest truth and the
(26:40):
other truth. Yeah, we gotta run the ball, we gonna
do some stuff. I thought that was really smart. But
we get off of the theme that we need to
stop listening to me. That just makes it a bigger thing,
like stop like move on.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Did you ever throw a teammate under the bus accidentally,
not knowingly?
Speaker 12 (26:58):
That's for sure, I mean it is. That's the that's
the art of quarterback. It's not just on the field.
Is on the field fifty percent is at post game
after a loss, gathering your teammates other parts of it.
When things are going badly, you have to own it.
The ball is in your hands. It's in your hands
every play. Own that truest truth. And if you want
(27:19):
to point out someone else's mistake, find a very delicate,
artistic way, depending on who it is. You know, John Taylor,
you could yell at Jerry Rice. You had to kind
of whisper to Ben Jones. You could kick him in
the in the butt, you know, like you could do
all kinds of different things for different people. You got
to be smart about it because you lose people fast.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Well, you had to whisper to Jerry. You whispered to Jerry, Well,
look for instances.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
Instance, for instance, hey Jerry, maybe cut that one a
little shorter, you know, just I don't know, maybe give
it a thought and uh and we'll time that up
a little bit better. But even though I said that
a little loud right there, I think, just whisper in
the year right there, may just you know, and then
just think about it, think about it, just think, you know, considerate,
(28:06):
consider it possibility that you know.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
And then Jerry's like, yeah, yeah, maybe I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
What a luxury to have every time you broke huddle
and all of a sudden you got Jerry out there.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
He uh he. I can I tell you what I
don't know? This is a quick story I need to
tell post Super Bowl day, after everyone's left the everyone's
all over the world. By the end of the parade,
they're gone. The next day, I got nothing to do.
I'm single. I go down there to take the clean
out of the locker, hot tub, whatever. I can't get in,
pounding on the doors. Security guard finally comes to the door.
(28:42):
What are you doing, man, No one's here. I'm like,
I just want to hang out a little bit, you know,
check it out, just you know, relish in the moment
we just won the Super Bowl whatever. And I go in.
I go out in the back. You know the fields
in the back. Then you've been to our facility, the
forty nine ers in the back corner of the guy
running running I'm looking at like, who is that? Because
running routes freaking Jerry, Like nobody's there. Nobody said they
(29:07):
have the Super Bowl man stop. So I had two thoughts,
that is amazing, really represents who he is and who
he who he? You know why he was great because
you get great talent with great work ethic. It's rare.
Uh you get that. And then the second thought I
had is should I go out there.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And throw it to him? I want to him time.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
And I don't remember exactly what I did.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
I think I went out and threw I don't know
what I did, but that's the great Jerry. I mean,
you talk about breaking the huddle with someone like that,
it was it was special.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Fritzie, do you have an update on Steve Young's baseball
career before we.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Yeah, I think that it's a different Steve Young that
was actually drafted but in high school for Greenwich High School.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Breaking news.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Why would you say the rest of it?
Speaker 12 (29:56):
No one's going to research that, bro I was the
whole interview on Holy I was drafted by the Dodgers, man, man,
I changed my life right there. Now you're just oh, Todd,
but my bloody hand one. I think you're wrong. There's
not that many Steve Young's. Man.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
No way, it appears to be that there's a different
Steed Young that was drafted in the seventh round by
the Dodgers.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Even though there's like one, there's a couple of notes.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
That said that we don't want We're not no that
rejecting it. I am rejecting that. I'm gonna swap that
away to Steve Young that I know got drafted by
the Dodger former Dodger Young.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
Yeah, from the mean, mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I don't know how you got out alive. I really don't.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Look.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
No one punched their way out of gre I figured
out a way out, bro, And.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Uh, you went hardship back then. That not many people
go hardship out of Greenwich.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Not easy. You coached down Greenwich, have and you don't
where do you go? You mean you got nowhere to go?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Are you still getting paid by the La Express?
Speaker 10 (31:00):
Ran out? It ran out a couple years ago?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Well?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
It?
Speaker 12 (31:02):
Did you know my mom when I sucked in the
when I fumbled the ball, I don't know I was.
I think I was in New Jersey for a game.
Chant went up forty million, down the drain forty million,
and my mom drove over from the mean streets of
Grantite to watch the game. Was so upset because you know,
they're booing her brother, her son in a chant. The
whole stadium's channing forty million down the drain. She stands up.
(31:25):
My dad tells the story. She turns to the most
loudest guys. They go to the most drunk guys.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
She goes, it's an annuity. It's not like he's like,
that's not forty million dollars. Now, he's not that good.
It's an annuity.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
It's a.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's in a trust, trusts. It's not like you got
it all right now. You know he's only getting four
percent interest on that.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Like, give him a break. I tell the story.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
He went away.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
He's like, oh, he like skirt it away, Like I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Oh, well, my favorite Dodger Steve Young, Like.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
There you go.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
We're going going to the world.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah you're Dodgers.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
Another championship.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Oh you're the best belt. Yeah, another championship. You did it. Uh,
great to talk to you. Thanks as always, hip another chip,
you made my day, my week, my month.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Bro and Todd forgets you man, We're we're done.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, that's a buzzkill there. That's Steve Young, Hall of
Famer drafted by the Dodgers. Our best and Worst of
the weekend. After this, 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
iHeart Radio WAPP. Steve Young is as close to a
(33:04):
sure thing. He's one of my favorite people to interview
because I truly think now there's a lot of people,
and people ask me who are your favorite interviews, it's
usually the person who I think is telling stories, just
being honest. You know, when Steve says, you know, we
won the super Bowl and then I went back and
I'm in the locker room, I look out back and
somebody's running past pattern and it's Jerry Rice. I hadn't
(33:28):
heard the story before. You know, that's what you want, well,
at least that's what I hope you want, because my
job is to get from somebody to give to you
the audience, whether you're in your car or you're watching,
and to have these you know, Charles Barkley is easy.
Everybody can interview Charles because he wants to perform. Or
(33:48):
Will Ferrell, they want to perform. You know, Steve has
a lot of stories. Sometimes they don't even know the
stories they have. When somebody says, hey, I got a
quick story for you, go ahead. A good story Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
It's like Chris Weber, the former NBA player and analyst.
Every time he's on, you'd be like da da da,
and you're like, oh, back in ninety seven, Michael Jordan
shows up against the Washington Bullets and he tells his
story and you're like, oh, you can't believe he's got
all these stories in him.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yes, but that's what you want. I mean, that's always
my goal. And I don't always get that obviously, but
you're trying to get somebody to tell you something that
maybe you haven't heard. And while we talk about today's NFL,
but also talk about you know when he played, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Is there a guest that you had on? And you
were thinking to yourself, Man, how come we to have
that guy on sooner?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Paulie's usually good at inventory. I'm not like, I just
do it and then I move on, and then you know,
I'll usually ask Pauliogo, how was that interview? Pauliog, Oh,
you know, it's pretty good, or you know what we
should have asked, or whatever it might be, because in
the moment, I'm not grading the interview, I'm just doing
(34:58):
the interview. And then you move on to the next
topic and then you see pauliogo, boy, that turned out
a lot better than we thought, like, oh, okay, good, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I would say the first time we had Patrick Ewing on,
Patrick Ewing does did not do interviews back then, especially
sports radio, and we had him on and you got
him going and you knew him a little bit, but
America didn't know him. It's about fun and jokes and stories,
and every time we've had Patrick Ewing on since, it
is just a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And that really was an accidental meeting that I wasn't
invited to go to dinner with him and Mark Jackson
during the NBA Finals in San Antonio. We just ended
up going to the same steakhouse and then I was
with John Berry and then we went over and sat
And the only reason why we went to their table
is because Mark Jackson wanted to embarrass me by saying
(35:47):
to me, Hey, tell Patrick, who who do you think
is better between him and a Keim Elijawan? And I
said a Kim Elijahwan and Patrick Ewing said, I don't
blame you. And then after that we just started talking.
You know, he still text me to see how I'm
feeling from when I had my health issues, he just
(36:08):
randomly he'll text me and just you know, became friendly
with him. And I never thought that that would happen. Never.
I just didn't think he would be inviting allowing media
into his life. But he's that's been something that's been rewarding.
I'm very lucky. All Right, let's do best and worst
(36:28):
to the weekend, Todd. I'm going to start with you.
Speaker 13 (36:30):
Best of the weekend Missouri QB. Brady Cook returns to
the field Saturday. They're leaving the game early to go
to the hospital MRI on his injured ankle. He went
on to lead the team with two fourth quarter touchdowns,
including the go ahead run by Jamal Roberts with forty
six seconds of Missouri twenty one seventeen win over Auburn.
Worst of the weekend the once mighty Oklahoma Sooners program,
embarrassed at home by the game Cocks. They were down
(36:51):
thirty two to three at the half, ultimately succumbed to
South Carolina thirty five to nine.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I would have thought your worst of the weekend would
have been telling Steve Young that he wasn't rafted by
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Well, that wasn't quite the weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
It was Monday, man, but us worris to the weekend.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Maybe a long weekend for that one. My best of
the weekend was Brandon Marshall stopping by the postgame presser.
They asked Mike Tomlin about how bold of a decision
it was to start Russell Wilson, and Mike Tomlin said,
that's why I'm well compensated, and got up and walked out.
That's great, That's why I'm well compensated.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
To see you later. Yeah, done with this. Yeah, that's awesome.
My worst of the weekend Gardner Minshew too.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
He threw seven passes that traveled nine yards down the
field and only one of them was caught, and that
was by a Los Angeles player. That's not great by
a layer. Yeah, Margaret, they had two. He had that,
plus he had two more picks. It was a pretty
(37:53):
terrible performance.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Marvin Best and works.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Best of the weekend Juan Soto his at bat in
the tenth inning. That entire time he was shaking his
head after he followed one off, like you throw me
one decent ball, it's going out of it. It was
looking like Barry Bonds Circuit two thousand and one. So
good for the Yankees, that small market club. They did it.
Worst of the weekend, my boy brock Purty, three interceptions
(38:18):
and a tough loss.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
They didn't look good.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
More injuries for the Niners.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, Soto, that was unbelievable. He just said, you're gonna
throw me a pitch. You're gonna throw me one, and
I'm gonna make you pay and then boom, Paulie bestn
worst to the weekend.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
That's the weekend. What a great weekend for fighting a
line a football. They're living up in shambana. Beating Michigan
is a big deal in central Illinois. And then that
follows up. Illinois football has one of the great opportunities
ever for the program against Oregon this weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
My Friday peaboond did not come through.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
Dan.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
I picked Georgia Tech to beat Notre Dame outright. One
hour after I picked Georgia Tech, it was announced that
starting quarterback Haines King was out with an injury, which
sure hurt the cause. So that was my first l
of the year. I did have army first half cover,
which made me feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I know, and I thought you were going Illinois over Michigan.
That was going to be your pea bomb. I thought,
take Illinois and then Georgia Tech Notre Dame, and then
Georgia Tech losing. It's a starting quarterback. It's okay, you
had partial pea bomb. Yeah, army first half cover will
keep your fed army.
Speaker 10 (39:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I'm thinking about maybe going to Navy Notre Dame this weekend.
Maybe I'm thinking about Meadowlands. I'm thinking, you know, but
I mean, I had my shoulder, you know, surgically repaired.
So I don't know if I want to go and
meet Josh, you know, jostling around. Can't be on the sidelines.
(39:53):
Something could happen. But I'd like to go see Navy
Notre Dame. It's going to be a beautiful day. I
got one more hour to go talk some football with
David Pollock and some baseball with Jeff Passon. One more
hour to go on this Monday, Dan and the Dan
Nts and Marvin and Patrick Show.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Monday, Dan and the Dan
ats Dan Patrick Show. We're kind of sniping at each other.
I don't know. Morale's not as high as I thought
it was going to be. Thought it was going to
be a celebratory Oh my god, Dan made it in
after surgery and it quickly dissolved. It just doesn't feel
(00:25):
like we're on the same page. But we have two
more hours to entertain a nation. Every day is a
Super Bowl, So I'm going to ask you guys to
put your problems, your bias, whatever it might be, to
the side. Marvin, I've already moved on from the fact
you're the only Dan ed who did not reach out
to me over the weekend to check on my health.
But you're not bringing that up again. I will not
(00:46):
bring that up again. Moved on, I have. But Todd
is here, the Minister of humor. It would be nice
if we had some maybe started out, maybe we get
momentum around a little bit higher. Okay, seating's here, Marvin's here,
PAULI and yours truly the Hall of Famer. Steve Young
will join us on the program coming up, we have football.
It's a doubleheader coming up tonight. You have the hardball
(01:10):
boys who will be in action, not against one another, Ravens, Bucks,
Chargers and the Cardinals. We have to wait, We have
to wait till Friday. But it is the matchup that
I think most baseball fans wanted to see. It's the
Yankees and the Dodgers. This will be the eleventh World
Series between these two, the most frequent matchup in baseball history. Now,
(01:33):
Dodgers Stadium has hosted one hundred and eleven postseason games,
most of any active park, second most in baseball history.
The original Yankee Stadium was one hundred and sixty one.
You also had the Dodgers in Mets. That's the first
postseason series of six or more games in baseball history
where every game was decided by at least four runs.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Start up a game Today Statu the Day Statu of
the Day, Statu to day Statup Day Statu to day Statu.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Stat of the Day brought to you by a Panini America,
the official trading card to The Dan Patrick Show. If
you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, thank you for
downloading the app once again, it is a harness that
my arm is in. Looks like I might have had
elbow surgery, but it's shoulder surgery. Or as Paulie says,
I think Barry Bonds wore that when he came to
(02:29):
the plate, and you might be accurate with that. But
I wanted to have some muted tones. I didn't want
this to stand out and take over the show. The
fact that my shoulder is probably bleeding as we speak.
But that's okay, so is my heart for good programming today.
So let's all come together, all right, who's with me?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
All right, come on, alright. I'd love to clap, but
I can't. I've got only one hand that I can
do that air clap. Hey, all right. Poll question from
our one is what Seaton and what's going to be
hour two?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm so glad that you asked dan our one we
have up there. Who are you rooting for Dodgers Yankees?
Or can they both lose?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Fifty two percent are asking that they both. However, when
you divide it just between the two teams, twenty nine
percent rooting for the Dodgers, followed by just nineteen percent
with the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, here's a strange question, and Jeff Passing from the
Mothership Covers Baseball gonna join us a little bit later.
Could the Yankees actually be an underdog in the World Series?
Do they feel under dogish this year? It's because we
haven't seen them in the World Series in a long time.
(03:52):
The Yankees could be underdogs, yes, Martin, and.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I think so because the big free agent acquisition went
to the and not the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I couldn't help but think as the Dodgers were celebrating
last night, what must might Trout be thinking, because he
has to look at this situation and say, you know,
five six years ago, you know, the direction probably wasn't
very good.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
In fairness to the Angels, they did try to surround
him with talent. It didn't work, although they did use
one of their drafts and I think every one of
their picks was pitchers that they figured they would get
maybe one or two out of that. But if you're
Mike Trout, you may only play in three postseason games
in your career unless you leave the Angels. Meanwhile, here's
(04:41):
Otani and people are like, oh, he should stay there,
And I'm thinking the direction of the franchise is not
why would you want to stay there. Baseball benefited because
you got him into Los Angeles, you got him on
a big stage, you got him with a team that's
going to the postseason. And now you have Judge and Soto,
(05:03):
and you have Garrett Cole, and you have Otani, Mooky Bentz.
Hopefully Freddie Freeman is healthier. This is what you want
with Major League Baseball.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Are the Dodgers favorite, Paulie, Yeah, They're a slight favorite
in a series overall, obviously Game one at home, they're
a favorite. But overall in the series, Dodger's slight favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, And it's weird to say, boy, this series will
come down to the bullpen or non starters, and that
might be what it is. But we'll talk to Jeff Passon.
He'll join us coming up in an hour from now.
Steve Young in about fifteen minutes from now. As we
recap what we saw over the weekend. We don't have
an update on Deshaun Watson, but the non contact injury
(05:46):
looks like the achilles and he would be done for
the year and maybe for his Cleveland career. Eight seven
seven to three DP show email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com Twitter
handle a DP show. We'll get to more of your
phone calls best and Worst of the weekend, and we
have a new poll question up there as well. Raj
in Chicago, Hey Roj, welcome back. What do you have
(06:07):
for me today?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Good morning, mister Patrick. I'm glad to hear you back
and doing well. Before I get my best and worst?
Is it possible to write in Tyler for Dan Edit
of the Year because MOTHERDN let me down. Man, I
can't believe he didn't call you this weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Man, Yeah, yeah, but we're past that. We're past that.
Tyler took me to the hospital. Tyler asked if he
could get scrubs and that he could get surgical gloves
as well. That he you know, where you stand at
the sink and then they, you know, they dry your hands,
Like Tyler wanted to stay there throughout the surgery and
be the first person I saw Hi when I woke up,
(06:42):
and I said, no, my daughter is going to pick
me up. You you run along. You've done enough, Tyler,
thank you? Yeah, suh.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Some of us here wondering on this side if Tyler
at this point has power of attorney.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Major life decisions. You know, uh, he might. He was
my emergency contact, though that's not a joke. That part wasn't.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
He offered to donate his healthy shoulder to replace yours,
but then we found out it was not a shoulder replacement.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yes, emergency contact. Who would you like us to call
in case of an emergency? How about Tyler?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They were like your wife. I go, no, no, she's busy.
How about Tyler? And then they're like, okay, give us
Tyler's number? Your son Tyler? No, no, no, he just
he answers phones at my radio show. And so Tyler
drops me off and he goes like, are you good?
I mean, I'm just dropping you off in the parking.
(07:39):
I said, ty it's okay. He goes, I'll go in
with you. I go, no, no, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But no.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
He could be the BRG of the year, the backroom guy,
but not the well the way things are going with
the dan Nettes, he probably could get some most Valuable
Danette votes too. Marvin is not going to get any
but once again we moved. Has that no need to
check in on my health over the weekend, Marvin, I'm
glad you're doing well. Thank you thoughts and prayers. Uh, Roger,
(08:06):
I cut you off. Did you have something else to say?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Sorry? But no problem. Best of the week the Browns
players were sticking up at Deshaun Watson. I don't care
for me either, but it was good to, you know,
stick up for him after you know, the fans did
what they did, and my worst, I think it's time
for Aaron Rodgers to retire for this year. This is it,
the show is over.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, okay, that's not going to happen. They're not going
to shut him down there. You know, it's not one
of those where they go, hey, we're in a rebuild.
You're going to be rebuilding. No, even if you won
the Super Bowl this year, the Jets would be in
a rebuild either next year or the following year because
Aaron Rodgers will retire and then you're going to have
(08:47):
to bring in a new coach. You got to bring
in you know, new quarter like. So, no matter what,
you had a finite amount of time and it's not working.
And Aaron Rodgers did not play well. He didn't get
helped out. I mean Garrett Wilson should have had a
catch and at ricocheted and they ended up scoring a
touchdown eventually off the interception. But Aaron Rodgers getting testy
(09:09):
with a reporter after last night's loss, How do.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You get everybody to keep the belief and it seems
like a lot of the same mistakes.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Stop listening to you guys. Number one, Number two. Gotta
be accountable, you know. I gotta play better. That's the key.
I gotta play better, to find a way to run
the ball better so we can action pass. You know,
I thought did some nice things in the passing game, obviously,
(09:36):
had a couple of really nice ones. Spread the ball
around to Tag and Allen Mike had a nice conversion.
But we got to run the ball better, and I
gotta play better.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, gotta stop listening to you guys. Really, So, if
Pat McAfee asked that same question tomorrow to Aaron Rodgers,
would you have said the same thing, because that's a
fair quest question. I mean, it's kind of one of
those who swat away You're gonna answer it. Got to
(10:07):
stop listening to you guys.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Really, yeah, I would be like, I mean, you can't
possibly play any better than this.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Why aren't you guys winning if you're playing so well? Uh,
get a little testy there, A little testy there by.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
The way, some people pointing out, Uh, why doesn't Alan
Lazard have a nickname? Gotta spread the ball around to
tag Alan.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh yeah, did you dude? I thought we were like
cool like that. I just stick with Alan. Hey, come on,
I don't want to be just Alan. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's not something like you know, a dog or something.
It's like, yeah, ta g Alan.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Call me the lizard, call me lizard. Well, your name's Wizard. No,
call me laz or something like that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Let's just stick with Allan.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay, did you notice? And maybe I noticed too many
silly things. Russell Wilson Junior, the third had a handshake
for I think everybody last night, like an individual handshake. Wow.
And I guess all of those weeks where he's not practicing,
maybe he was working on that or being able to play,
but it felt like everybody that he came in contact
(11:17):
with he had a special handshake there.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Yes, Paul, if you saw his pregame interview, I don't
know who's doing the interview. It's almost like one of
those toys you get at the kid and you pull
press the button or pull the back and has a
series of sayings that they repeat, but they only have
eight sayings.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's specially be here, wasn't it, chatty Kathy? Was there
name where you pulled the string?
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:38):
So it's like there was a Homer Simpson one and
you press a button and had like eight things. Russell
Wilson has seven or eight lines, no matter what the
question is, Like if I said a big game Sunday
night football against a Jets, hi feeling I otor to
be here and sunny football all fired up, just get
the offense together, can't wait.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's why you played the game.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Be on these big stages.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Be on these big stages is an out cute. There's
five lines. What are you doing today to prepare for
this game? Get ready to get mentally focused? Can't wait
to get out there some of that football. The only
variable is the night football that you're on.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I think we need to come up with the Russell
Wilson doll where you just have like, you know, five
or six sayings, just pulled the string and then yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
He is a sitcom character for sure. Look JJ Evans, Hey,
hold on, let me look at the script. Dino might
all right, it says it in there, all right, like,
no matter what, it's always the same thing. Now we're
trying to be cool. Oh, let's get a little handshake everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
So Jimmy Walker JJ Walker reference lay count.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Other times really good times, that's right. I liked his
sister in there, Alma, Yeahlma had some game, was bringing
it and Ja Jackson got involved in Yeah. Okay. Uh
so we did stat of the day, We had our
poll question here more phone called let me get to
Austin in Texas, not to be confused with Austin, Texas.
(12:57):
Hey Austin, good morning, Dan, how are you great? Wonderful,
good person?
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Have a long time five ten and a hard one seventy
hard all right. So my worst of the weekend was
the Texas crowd throwing the bottles on the field. It
was uncalled for. However, that brings me to my best
of the weekend, which was giving the rest more time
(13:24):
to get that horrendous pass interpearance call correct.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I know. And then Kirby Smart was like, oh, you know,
way to go. You set president here where all you
do is throw bottles and uh then you you're going
to give the officials of the replay judge time to
look back on this. By the way, Kirby Smart is
taking receipts the Georgia head coach.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Nobody gave us a chance.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
Your whole network doubted us, nobody believed us, and then
they tried to rob us with calls in this place.
And these guys are so resigue, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
We talked about in Tim what was art Tim? When
we welcome the field?
Speaker 11 (14:04):
Arn Tim was not to take pictures, not to do
all the superstar stuff, aren te Ard.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Tim was to eat team. Okay, he probably had a point.
Embarrassing by the Texas fans. You know, you want to
be big time act big time throwing bottles onto the
field embarrassing, silly and dangerous. And you know Sark is
out there trying to tell them to stop doing this.
But Texas was playing at home. Texas has played well,
(14:34):
Texas number one in the country. So what if ESPN
College Game Day picked them to beat you? Now? Is
he saying that, is he truly bothered or was he
using that for motivation? Probably motivation. He probably said that
to his team. You know, nobody thinks you guys can win.
It's not like your BYU or Iowa State. Here coach,
(14:54):
You're not Mercer, You're not even Vandy, You're Georgia. Aren't
a double digit underdog? Like it wasn't crazy that you
could win that game.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Yes, Marvin, It's like when the Warriors won the title,
they're like, nobody ever believed in us, really, no one.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That's where I said, no, no, I did because I
picked him at the beginning of the year. I said
the Warriors are going to win the title. So that's
why I said to Fritzy, I said, anybody on the
Warriors who said you didn't know what he picked us,
let's get him on the show, like get Steve Kerr
on or get Steph Curry on. By the way, NBA
opens tomorrow night.
Speaker 10 (15:31):
That can't be right. Sneaky Rag Snaky.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can't wait for Waldwall coverage of Brownie James. How much,
how much it feels early? How much does he play?
Do they have an over under how much he plays
in his first game?
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't want to spoil it, but we are playing
the Brownie James game tomorrow, oh tomorrow, very specific game. Okay,
can't give it out now. I can't pull the band
aid and move on.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Brownie James game.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Uh how about we take a break here. Hall of
Famer Steve Young will join us. Coming up more of
your phone calls. We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
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 (16:21):
He's a Hall of Famer, a three time Super Bowl champ,
super Bowl MVP, and also could have been Dion Sanders
before Dion Sanders or Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson playing
two different sports. Yes, great football player, but they still
talk about Steve Young the baseball player. If you know
hitters all state, did you get drafted?
Speaker 11 (16:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Are you bitter?
Speaker 8 (16:47):
No?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
I just don't. I don't think that you are remembering
it right.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Hey, look I love baseball, but I pulled everything to
second base man, I did not.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
I was. I was good, but I wasn't great. So
there there you have it.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I got you drafted by the Dodgers in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
All right, that's amazing and I really appreciate that nugget.
I'm I'm gonna go research that one. That one sounds
like somebody should put on the resume.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
How do you not know you were drafted by the
Dodgers twenty fourth round. Dang, i'd be pronously.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
The Dan Patrick Show has brought light today. I had
no idea what happened.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
I had no idea. It's amazing. I mean, honestly, that
is like a revelation. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
What I could have? What I could have been?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I know they didn't even call me.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I know, you know draft then let me know.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You could have been Fernando Vevenzuela.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I could have what I could have been.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
Oh, I could have I could have gotten the opposite way.
Would have taught me how to go the opposite a way.
I could have been big.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
All right, what did we learn from the Niners Chiefs yesterday?
Speaker 12 (18:09):
I think you know they both played about the same
in some ways. But the game today, as I've told
you a thousand times, it's so wide open, and the
prototype quarterback is the guy that jams it in the
end zone somehow in some artistic way, just rolling around.
And that's what Patrick mahomes four or five in the
red zone. We were one and ten in the third down,
(18:31):
which is you know, a third down in the red
zones when that's where it all happens, and there were
four or five in the red zone. I don't you
know we threw interception down there in the second half.
We didn't get down there very much. I mean, when
you get down there, he put it and think about
how the Chiefs put it in the end zone. Just
kind of random stuff that just nothing special, nothing amazing,
(18:52):
nothing artistic. I mean, as far as you know, out
of the huddle, just a bunch of stuff. How about
Patrick Wwhomes running thirty three yards, set it up and
then runs it in himself. That's the game today and
that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, the Chiefs are a defensive team first.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
Well today they are.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
I mean that's what's that's what's amazing about being six
and zero, playing great defense, figuring out ways to win.
Can you imagine when they get it all kind of
rolling after Thanksgiving and get it because Patrick Mahomes is
not gonna they're not gonna wait, they're not gonna be
in January kind of concocting ways.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
To put in the end zone. They're gonna get better
and better.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
And that's what we've got to do, right the forty
nine ers have got to figure out how to way
to turn the page. Brandon looks like he's out for
the season. We've got to figure out ways to put
it in the end zone.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
We have not.
Speaker 12 (19:41):
Last year we were number one by far in red zone.
But it's just you can't in the NFL today. You
can't be the guy that's just gonna go retail and
just call the play in the huddle and expect you're
gonna put in the en zone. You're gonna have to
come up with crazy stuff to put it in. And
we've got to get better at that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What did you think of Russell Wilson last night?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
They asked Russell Wilson to do his special superpower? Right?
Speaker 12 (20:09):
Is that touch pass, back shoulder leading guys in you know,
kind of seam routes Like.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
That's Russell Wilson of old.
Speaker 12 (20:17):
And if that's what they're gonna ask him to do,
that's what Russell Wilson can do really well. And I
was happy for him because it's been such a miserable
twenty four months in his life. I got to imagine that,
you know, have some success and have everyone patty on
the back.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I had to feel really good.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, but you don't have to be great on offense.
With that defense that teams don't even get fifteen points.
But how difficult is that for a quarterback to not
try to do too much because you don't have to
do too much.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
It's really it's a fine, fine, fine line that makes
the job. That's why it's one of the hardest jobs
in sports and one of the hardest jobs anywhere. Is
trying to find you how you fit into a system
that really, you know, the resonates with everybody else. How
do you figure out how to you know, some people
ask way too much of somebody like Josh Allen and
(21:10):
Buffalo Bill's way too much, like stop already, and then
you know Pittsburgh's gonna ask a lot less than How
do you make sure that you don't over overperform, you know,
or overdo it. It's a tough one and I in
today's game, Dan, you can't go to the super Bowl
and win it this way like it's the Kings of
the Kings of the game. Who in the championship games
(21:32):
late in the season's fourth quarter, it's the guys that
can You've seen it, right, it's Lamar, it's Josh, it's
it's Patrick. Of course, it's now young guys like, you know,
maybe c Jy Stroutz becomes that guy Jordan Love. It's
those are the guys that are gonna run run the
table in the super Bowl, in the biggest games in Pittsburgh.
(21:53):
This is old school Pittsburgh Steeler. That's the game's changed.
The rules changed. They they j H defensive roles. It's
the game eight seven, eight years ago is different. So yeah,
old school Pittsburgh Steeler football great, just can't go the distance.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm wondering that we see sometimes with baseball and other sports,
there'll be teams that are built for the regular season
and then they get into the postseason exactly, and then
you run into somebody and it's like they're built for
the postseason, maybe not necessarily for the regular season, like
Super Welson. Why is that? You know that, like the
Cowboys can go to have thirteen wins three consecutive years
(22:32):
they get into the postseason, the Chiefs feel like they're
the opposite that it. I don't care what their record is.
I didn't care what New England's record was with Tom right,
what is it about when you get to the postseason
that you just place the way you play is a
big advantage.
Speaker 12 (22:50):
And today again, the game's changed, so we got to
go into the like you got to move your mind
away from what used to be. All the norms and
the things that were true, they're not. They're different now.
The truth, the truth today is take the Baltimore Ravens
as the example, right really built for the regular season
rank and file, just smashing people with the best running
(23:10):
game in the league, most sophisticated running game in the league,
and great defense, and then they get in the playoffs.
It's about what I just told you, and you'd think
with the amazing artistic potential of Lamar Jackson, but yet
you have to have a sophisticated passing game to run
the table today and to win the big games and
to be a super Bowl champion. Just look at the
(23:32):
last four or five super Bowl champions. It's just just
the way it is. And it's used to be able
to let's put together a number one defense, smash people
and go to a super Bowl. It's not possible anymore.
And so you know, built for the regular season rank
and file wins. There's a few teams like that right now,
and I've put Pittsburgh in there. Baltimore's trying, as you
(23:52):
saw last year with real effort to invest in wide receivers,
invest in a more sophisticated passing game, and let Lamar
be come what I've I've said a thousand times he
could be the greatest player ever played. But you've got
to You've got to put him in a position to
not just you know, run the football and do crazy stuff,
but actually sit in there and decipher, find the truth
(24:16):
and a play and throw it all over the field.
And that's the prototype today. And Lamar is the most
prototype of all the prototypes. But yet the team's not
asking him. They're getting better, they're getting closer to ask
him to do things that can win it in February,
and that's what really matters.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Hall of Famers Steve Young joining is tell me what
Aaron Rodgers is getting at. I'm going to play the question.
You can hear the answer here, Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I know.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
How do you get everybody to keep the belief And
it seems like a lot of the same mistakes.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
To stop listening to you guys. Number one, Number two
gotta be accountable. You know. I gotta play better. That's
the key. I gotta play better. We gotta find a
way to run the ball better so we can action pass.
You know, I thought did some nice things in the
passing Gamebreys. Obviously, I had a couple of really nice ones.
(25:06):
Spread the ball around to tay g and Allen. Mike
had a nice conversion. But we got to run a
ball better and I gotta play better.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Okay, the media is in his head. Why would he
say stop listening to you guys, You don't.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
I've always said it's a three ring circus. They're all
into the same tent, different rings. There's the media, there's
the fans, and then there's the game. But you have
to recognize everybody's in it together. You have to. And
if you try to make.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
Enemies of one of the three rings, you're gonna it's
gonna be painful. It's a painful way to try to
play and find bounty, right, And so when you start
to point people, you know, point well the media, you know,
it's like, it's not worth it. You've got to stay
away from that. It's easy, and it makes you makes
you feel good for a second, but it's not. You
(25:58):
just got out. You have to, you know, it's a
part of what we're doing. Do your job and just
move on. And and if you're not. If you want
to ignore them, then ignore them. But but if you
want to make it something, it's just gonna it makes
it bigger, like stop listening to it makes it makes
it bigger like in so and you know it's it's
(26:19):
a rebound, so it's not worth it. The other things
he said were really great. Right, it's about me, number one.
That's what any great quarterback is gonna say. If you
don't say that, you're not gonna be able to gather
your teammates. They're not going to come fight for you.
So he did a good job there saying, look, it's
about me. Yes, number one, that's the truest truth for
every quarterback. Never lose that truth. Truest truth and the
(26:40):
other truth. Yeah, we gotta run the ball, we gonna
do some stuff. I thought that was really smart. But
we get off of the theme that we need to
stop listening to me. That just makes it a bigger thing,
like stop like move on.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Did you ever throw a teammate under the bus accidentally,
not knowingly?
Speaker 12 (26:58):
That's for sure, I mean it is. That's the that's
the art of quarterback. It's not just on the field.
Is on the field fifty percent is at post game
after a loss, gathering your teammates other parts of it.
When things are going badly, you have to own it.
The ball is in your hands. It's in your hands
every play. Own that truest truth. And if you want
(27:19):
to point out someone else's mistake, find a very delicate,
artistic way, depending on who it is. You know, John Taylor,
you could yell at Jerry Rice. You had to kind
of whisper to Ben Jones. You could kick him in
the in the butt, you know, like you could do
all kinds of different things for different people. You got
to be smart about it because you lose people fast.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Well, you had to whisper to Jerry. You whispered to Jerry, Well,
look for instances.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
Instance, for instance, hey Jerry, maybe cut that one a
little shorter, you know, just I don't know, maybe give
it a thought and uh and we'll time that up
a little bit better. But even though I said that
a little loud right there, I think, just whisper in
the year right there, may just you know, and then
just think about it, think about it, just think, you know, considerate,
(28:06):
consider it possibility that you know.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
And then Jerry's like, yeah, yeah, maybe I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
What a luxury to have every time you broke huddle
and all of a sudden you got Jerry out there.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
He uh he. I can I tell you what I
don't know? This is a quick story I need to
tell post Super Bowl day, after everyone's left the everyone's
all over the world. By the end of the parade,
they're gone. The next day, I got nothing to do.
I'm single. I go down there to take the clean
out of the locker, hot tub, whatever. I can't get in,
pounding on the doors. Security guard finally comes to the door.
(28:42):
What are you doing, man, No one's here. I'm like,
I just want to hang out a little bit, you know,
check it out, just you know, relish in the moment
we just won the Super Bowl whatever. And I go in.
I go out in the back. You know the fields
in the back. Then you've been to our facility, the
forty nine ers in the back corner of the guy
running running I'm looking at like, who is that? Because
running routes freaking Jerry, Like nobody's there. Nobody said they
(29:07):
have the Super Bowl man stop. So I had two thoughts,
that is amazing, really represents who he is and who
he who he? You know why he was great because
you get great talent with great work ethic. It's rare.
Uh you get that. And then the second thought I
had is should I go out there.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And throw it to him? I want to him time.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
And I don't remember exactly what I did.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
I think I went out and threw I don't know
what I did, but that's the great Jerry. I mean,
you talk about breaking the huddle with someone like that,
it was it was special.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Fritzie, do you have an update on Steve Young's baseball
career before we.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Yeah, I think that it's a different Steve Young that
was actually drafted but in high school for Greenwich High School.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Breaking news.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Why would you say the rest of it?
Speaker 12 (29:56):
No one's going to research that, bro I was the
whole interview on Holy I was drafted by the Dodgers, man, man,
I changed my life right there. Now you're just oh, Todd,
but my bloody hand one. I think you're wrong. There's
not that many Steve Young's. Man.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
No way, it appears to be that there's a different
Steed Young that was drafted in the seventh round by
the Dodgers.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Even though there's like one, there's a couple of notes.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
That said that we don't want We're not no that
rejecting it. I am rejecting that. I'm gonna swap that
away to Steve Young that I know got drafted by
the Dodger former Dodger Young.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
Yeah, from the mean, mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I don't know how you got out alive. I really don't.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Look.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
No one punched their way out of gre I figured
out a way out, bro, And.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Uh, you went hardship back then. That not many people
go hardship out of Greenwich.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Not easy. You coached down Greenwich, have and you don't
where do you go? You mean you got nowhere to go?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Are you still getting paid by the La Express?
Speaker 10 (31:00):
Ran out? It ran out a couple years ago?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Well?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
It?
Speaker 12 (31:02):
Did you know my mom when I sucked in the
when I fumbled the ball, I don't know I was.
I think I was in New Jersey for a game.
Chant went up forty million, down the drain forty million,
and my mom drove over from the mean streets of
Grantite to watch the game. Was so upset because you know,
they're booing her brother, her son in a chant. The
whole stadium's channing forty million down the drain. She stands up.
(31:25):
My dad tells the story. She turns to the most
loudest guys. They go to the most drunk guys.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
She goes, it's an annuity. It's not like he's like,
that's not forty million dollars. Now, he's not that good.
It's an annuity.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
It's a.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's in a trust, trusts. It's not like you got
it all right now. You know he's only getting four
percent interest on that.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Like, give him a break. I tell the story.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
He went away.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
He's like, oh, he like skirt it away, Like I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Oh, well, my favorite Dodger Steve Young, Like.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
There you go.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
We're going going to the world.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah you're Dodgers.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
Another championship.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Oh you're the best belt. Yeah, another championship. You did it. Uh,
great to talk to you. Thanks as always, hip another chip,
you made my day, my week, my month.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Bro and Todd forgets you man, We're we're done.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, that's a buzzkill there. That's Steve Young, Hall of
Famer drafted by the Dodgers. Our best and Worst of
the weekend. After this, 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
iHeart Radio WAPP. Steve Young is as close to a
(33:04):
sure thing. He's one of my favorite people to interview
because I truly think now there's a lot of people,
and people ask me who are your favorite interviews, it's
usually the person who I think is telling stories, just
being honest. You know, when Steve says, you know, we
won the super Bowl and then I went back and
I'm in the locker room, I look out back and
somebody's running past pattern and it's Jerry Rice. I hadn't
(33:28):
heard the story before. You know, that's what you want, well,
at least that's what I hope you want, because my
job is to get from somebody to give to you
the audience, whether you're in your car or you're watching,
and to have these you know, Charles Barkley is easy.
Everybody can interview Charles because he wants to perform. Or
(33:48):
Will Ferrell, they want to perform. You know, Steve has
a lot of stories. Sometimes they don't even know the
stories they have. When somebody says, hey, I got a
quick story for you, go ahead. A good story Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
It's like Chris Weber, the former NBA player and analyst.
Every time he's on, you'd be like da da da,
and you're like, oh, back in ninety seven, Michael Jordan
shows up against the Washington Bullets and he tells his
story and you're like, oh, you can't believe he's got
all these stories in him.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yes, but that's what you want. I mean, that's always
my goal. And I don't always get that obviously, but
you're trying to get somebody to tell you something that
maybe you haven't heard. And while we talk about today's NFL,
but also talk about you know when he played, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Is there a guest that you had on? And you
were thinking to yourself, Man, how come we to have
that guy on sooner?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Paulie's usually good at inventory. I'm not like, I just
do it and then I move on, and then you know,
I'll usually ask Pauliogo, how was that interview? Pauliog, Oh,
you know, it's pretty good, or you know what we
should have asked, or whatever it might be, because in
the moment, I'm not grading the interview, I'm just doing
(34:58):
the interview. And then you move on to the next
topic and then you see pauliogo, boy, that turned out
a lot better than we thought, like, oh, okay, good, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I would say the first time we had Patrick Ewing on,
Patrick Ewing does did not do interviews back then, especially
sports radio, and we had him on and you got
him going and you knew him a little bit, but
America didn't know him. It's about fun and jokes and stories,
and every time we've had Patrick Ewing on since, it
is just a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And that really was an accidental meeting that I wasn't
invited to go to dinner with him and Mark Jackson
during the NBA Finals in San Antonio. We just ended
up going to the same steakhouse and then I was
with John Berry and then we went over and sat
And the only reason why we went to their table
is because Mark Jackson wanted to embarrass me by saying
(35:47):
to me, Hey, tell Patrick, who who do you think
is better between him and a Keim Elijawan? And I
said a Kim Elijahwan and Patrick Ewing said, I don't
blame you. And then after that we just started talking.
You know, he still text me to see how I'm
feeling from when I had my health issues, he just
(36:08):
randomly he'll text me and just you know, became friendly
with him. And I never thought that that would happen. Never.
I just didn't think he would be inviting allowing media
into his life. But he's that's been something that's been rewarding.
I'm very lucky. All Right, let's do best and worst
(36:28):
to the weekend, Todd. I'm going to start with you.
Speaker 13 (36:30):
Best of the weekend Missouri QB. Brady Cook returns to
the field Saturday. They're leaving the game early to go
to the hospital MRI on his injured ankle. He went
on to lead the team with two fourth quarter touchdowns,
including the go ahead run by Jamal Roberts with forty
six seconds of Missouri twenty one seventeen win over Auburn.
Worst of the weekend the once mighty Oklahoma Sooners program,
embarrassed at home by the game Cocks. They were down
(36:51):
thirty two to three at the half, ultimately succumbed to
South Carolina thirty five to nine.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I would have thought your worst of the weekend would
have been telling Steve Young that he wasn't rafted by
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Well, that wasn't quite the weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
It was Monday, man, but us worris to the weekend.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Maybe a long weekend for that one. My best of
the weekend was Brandon Marshall stopping by the postgame presser.
They asked Mike Tomlin about how bold of a decision
it was to start Russell Wilson, and Mike Tomlin said,
that's why I'm well compensated, and got up and walked out.
That's great, That's why I'm well compensated.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
To see you later. Yeah, done with this. Yeah, that's awesome.
My worst of the weekend Gardner Minshew too.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
He threw seven passes that traveled nine yards down the
field and only one of them was caught, and that
was by a Los Angeles player. That's not great by
a layer. Yeah, Margaret, they had two. He had that,
plus he had two more picks. It was a pretty
(37:53):
terrible performance.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Marvin Best and works.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Best of the weekend Juan Soto his at bat in
the tenth inning. That entire time he was shaking his
head after he followed one off, like you throw me
one decent ball, it's going out of it. It was
looking like Barry Bonds Circuit two thousand and one. So
good for the Yankees, that small market club. They did it.
Worst of the weekend, my boy brock Purty, three interceptions
(38:18):
and a tough loss.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
They didn't look good.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
More injuries for the Niners.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, Soto, that was unbelievable. He just said, you're gonna
throw me a pitch. You're gonna throw me one, and
I'm gonna make you pay and then boom, Paulie bestn
worst to the weekend.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
That's the weekend. What a great weekend for fighting a
line a football. They're living up in shambana. Beating Michigan
is a big deal in central Illinois. And then that
follows up. Illinois football has one of the great opportunities
ever for the program against Oregon this weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
My Friday peaboond did not come through.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
Dan.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
I picked Georgia Tech to beat Notre Dame outright. One
hour after I picked Georgia Tech, it was announced that
starting quarterback Haines King was out with an injury, which
sure hurt the cause. So that was my first l
of the year. I did have army first half cover,
which made me feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I know, and I thought you were going Illinois over Michigan.
That was going to be your pea bomb. I thought,
take Illinois and then Georgia Tech Notre Dame, and then
Georgia Tech losing. It's a starting quarterback. It's okay, you
had partial pea bomb. Yeah, army first half cover will
keep your fed army.
Speaker 10 (39:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I'm thinking about maybe going to Navy Notre Dame this weekend.
Maybe I'm thinking about Meadowlands. I'm thinking, you know, but
I mean, I had my shoulder, you know, surgically repaired.
So I don't know if I want to go and
meet Josh, you know, jostling around. Can't be on the sidelines.
(39:53):
Something could happen. But I'd like to go see Navy
Notre Dame. It's going to be a beautiful day. I
got one more hour to go talk some football with
David Pollock and some baseball with Jeff Passon. One more
hour to go on this Monday, Dan and the Dan
Nts and Marvin and Patrick Show.
