Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Thursday football tonight.
I'm going to be at the man Cave tonight with
Shayan Irving watching his Cowboys against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What could go wrong? Everything? But I did tell him,
you got to be on your best behavior. If we're
going to be filming some of this, you got to
watch your language. He promised. Since he's not drinking anymore,
he's not doing anything anymore. He said, he'll be on
his best behavior. And I was thinking, could I do
a swear jar and for charity and Shaye would probably
(00:41):
agree to that, but he just said, and I'm not
worried if he was drinking or he was doing something else,
He's going to be fired up no matter what.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I mean. You heard him earlier in the week when
we had him on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He was talking about Michael Parsons and he was apoplectic
and he said, you know, it's a trigger. It makes
him want to drink. But the gambling podcast was recorded yesterday.
If you go to Danpatrick dot com, man, what a
wild thirty minutes, and these guys did get around to
their picks. Shay and Irving bad Larry and Dylan. I
(01:14):
don't I mean guaranteed to be wrong, but still very entertaining.
And uh it's Dan Patrick takes a gamble and Marvin
was there. Marvin has to run the controls, he's recording everything.
He's got to listen to all of this, and uh,
you know what, you're a good soldier.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You are a good soldier, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yes, I had to edit out maybe about six minutes
of content and then something happened. Marvin, back me up.
I will not back you up. Don't you ever think
I'll back you up?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
What did you refer to it as? Oh, black up,
black up?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Like? Oh like I have a black friend Marvin. No, no, no,
that will never be me. Don't you ever. Don't you
ever ask me to help you now with that?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You're just my friend.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I don't see color.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No I don't either. Okay, it's an hour two on
the program. Ron Jaworski, former quarterback, and he'll join us.
He'll be in Philadelphia, of course, his hometown, with the
Eagles and the Cowboys coming up tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
It's eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's the point spread the hot take draft in an
hour from now, does everybody have I need at least
two from the NFC and two from the AFC.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Todd, I am looking what I have here, and I
actually do have exactly two AFC and two NFC.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I got four. Take.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, if you are really hot on something, even a
hotter hot take, and you want to add that, than
you can bonus hot takes.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I'm all for that. Seaton. I have a question about
one of mine. Okay.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
I can't tell if this is necessarily a hot take
or just a prediction, but it involves tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's a tease. It's kind of like more like I'm
calling something.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, you're calling for the Cowboys to shock the word incorrect?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh, never in my life will you ever hear that
come from me? Okay, well, then we have a tease.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, I have the odds on who's gonna score the
first touchdown on the season. If you said Saquon Barkley,
you would be correct.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's my take for the night. Oh, that Sequon's going
to score the first touchdown.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
No, it's the first touchdown of the season. Oh, okay,
dot dot dot willb dot dot dom Okay, Jalen hurts
his second.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
AJ Brown, Davonte Smith C D Lamb and Javonte Williams
the first touchdown of the NFL season according to DraftKings,
will Dak Prescott throw an interception yes minus one fifty
no plus one eighteen. How about over underpassing yards according
to DraftKings over underpassing yards Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Paul two and twenty two, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Two hundred, Todd two twenty nine and a half, Seaton
one seventy nine, two forty nine and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Probably gonna be behind and they're gonna lead the charge
throwing the ball to George Pickens and C. D.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Lamb, Yeah, Paul mean.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
The Eagles last year had the seventh ranks scoring offense
and the number two ranked scoring defense.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Over underpassing yards Jalen Hurts Marvin.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Two fifty eight, Paul two oh two, God.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Two oh six, Seaton one seventy nine, two fifteen and
a half two fifteen and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Just some of the prop bets of Saquon Barkley. Prop
bet longest rushing yard carry, longest carry what's the over
under longest carry for Saquon Tonight?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Marvin twenty three and a half, Paul thirty seven and
a half, Seaton seventy nine yards. Oh, I got sixteen
and a.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Half, twenty and a half, saquon bark some of the
prompt that's Seaton. Take this seriously, Come on, I am
oh those are serious responses.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yes, okay, what the heck?
Speaker 9 (05:15):
All right?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I like that accusation he's gotta.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The last leap when he runs for seventy nine yards.
At one point.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The store at Danpatrick dot com open for business, stocked
up with fresh gear. Please visit that stat of the
day brought to you by Panadia America, the official trading
cards of the program. Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app, and we say good
morning to all of our great radio affiliates around the country.
Spend a lot of time talking about the Clippers, Kawhi, Leonard,
(05:41):
Steve Balmer allegations the NBA is investigating. Everybody has been
invited to join us here in the sandbox, but nobody
has taken us up on the offer just yet. Let
me see, how about James and Austin? Hi, James, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (06:00):
What's up?
Speaker 12 (06:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (06:03):
First things first, I can't wait for the stream tonight
with you and Jay I personally hope it's nuts.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But I had a.
Speaker 11 (06:09):
Question about the Kawhi Leonard stuff. And so say these
billionaire owners, they own teams and they acquire a player,
would it be unethical or illegal if that owner also
had like a stake or ownership, and say Gatorade, and
then Gatorade were to endorse that player to help compensate
with them with the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I am salary cap ignorant with this and what you
can and can't do. Let's say Phil Knight owned an
NFL team and he was going to give you fifty
million dollars. Let's say he owned the Dallas Mavericks and
he's going to give Cooper Flag fifty million dollar endorsement deal.
(06:55):
I guess that's legal as long as he is doing
something for that money with NI, But I don't know
how they circumvent the salary camp. I mean, I can
imagine how you're going to do that. And I think
you know, on a local basis, you will have sponsors
who then want to pay money to one of the
star players to endorse their product in a local market.
(07:16):
Because sometimes you'll go to these cities and all of
a sudden you'll see a former player pop up and
he's talking about, you know, a law firm or a
car dealership. Those things happen, but I don't know how
closely these commissioners monitor these situations. Michael and fort Wayne.
I Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 13 (07:39):
I've I've been thinking the last couple of days about
Pablo Tore's report. And the thing that's puzzled me the
most about this whole thing is the three thousand pages
of information, because it's just an absurd number, like, how
on earth does anyone get that much paper about anything?
And then thinking back to my high school and college experience,
(08:01):
it hit me he took the five hundred pages of
evidence that he had and then he increased the font size,
squeezed his margins, and double spaced his line.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Been there, thank you? Michael.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well, it's all public records here. I think that that's
you know, he has this information because it was made available.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But I don't know if he's.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Making it seem maybe there's only like nineteen pages, but
you know, the font size, it looks like an eye chart.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Three thousand pages, three thousand pages. Yes, yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Remember in eighth grade, you had to do a book
report and had to be two hundred words, and you're like,
Huck Finn is a very very very interesting book.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Connor in Chicago, Hi, Connor, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (08:46):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (08:46):
What five? Nine hard one seventy five?
Speaker 16 (08:52):
Did you give me a right?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Just pulling in?
Speaker 17 (08:57):
Actually gonna say, with all this stuff going on in
the NFL and over in Europe and stuff a lot more,
I think the NFL is eventually going to go with
that eighteen game season, two bye weeks. The extra bye
week will be when you come back from Europe, and
then it'll be no more preseason games.
Speaker 18 (09:11):
So eventually every game will matter.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think you have to have preseason games. I think
that would be important. It is important. We've seen the
Bengals never get off to a good start. They normally
don't play their starters in the preseason. They changed that
up this year. I think you have to have at
least two of those games. Maybe you have a controlled scrimmage.
I would like to see college football have a preseason
(09:37):
and get rid of these games. To start a season
where you're playing against Mercer or Samford. That would eliminate
but I want you know, these little schools, they are
willing to be sacrificial lambs because they get that money,
and that might be the entire treasure chest of all
the athletics at a smaller school.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But if you want to have a level playing field
where you're playing quality opponents week in and week out,
then maybe.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
We have a preseason.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Maybe you schedule some of these teams in a preseason game,
therefore they can get that money, but you go into
the regular season. Now these games count, but I do
think we need at least two preseason games in the
NFL Robin Orlando Hi roby good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Then think about the NFL scheduling in the number of games.
I don't understand maybe this has been discussed, but if
you shift to a nineteen week season with the seventeen
game schedule two by weeks, it stretches out the season
to get you to President's Day. And additionally, it gives
you the additional inventory for you know, NFL to self
(10:49):
with packages, you know, to the other networks and everything.
And then it also allows you the two buy weeks
so that you can never have a reason to have
to play Thursday on a short week.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, whatever is going to bring about the best quality. Okay,
I'm all about player safety, getting a time to recover
to play a game. If you're traveling overseas and then
you come back, how much time do you have And
they're going to eighteen games, it's just a given. Now
the NFL Player Association can say, hey, hold on, Commissioner,
(11:22):
not so fast. I've got a sowerce Suits told me
this has been in the plant, in the works for years,
that this is what's going to happen. They're eventually going
to go to President's Day weekend for the Super Bowl.
All of this stuff is playing out. I didn't have
a time frame for it, but I was told by somebody,
you know, one of the higher ups, that this was
all planned out and that you're going to have the
(11:45):
networks are going to bid on the international games.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yes, Mark, But if they move it to an eighteen
game schedule and get two bye weeks, that may affect
college football because we're only a week ahead of President's
Day now with the Super Bowl, and so now with
two bye weeks, does the NFL move it move up
their season a week till Labor Day weekend and infect
college football? Is opening weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I don't think they worry and care about college football.
They don't care about other sports.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They do not remember there weren't going to be games
on Friday night because they didn't want to disrupt high
school football. That's not the case anymore. Chiefs Chargers Friday
Night from Brazil. David in Ohio. Hi, David, Hey.
Speaker 16 (12:33):
Dan, you were talking about the swear jar with Shade tonight.
I think it's every time he swears.
Speaker 17 (12:38):
Put the money in the square jar and all the
money goes to the ginger's favorite charity.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Thank you, all right, thank you, David. David's been roasting
here lately. He's been on a roll. Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
There's actually an update on that NFL Friday night high
school conflict thing. The Athletic reported that Week one of
the NFL Next year they cannot will not play a
Friday night game because it abuts the window for the law,
the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one that protects
high school football, and so they can't do it next year.
Have a Friday night opener.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Is there high school football this Friday night?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
I don't. It's unclear why they can have one this year.
On a Friday night. Maybe because it's out of the
country like an offshore bookiey offshore and count Yeah, it
doesn't count if it's outside.
Speaker 17 (13:25):
That might be.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm not even joking that maybe it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But yeah, because I was told, hey, you can't have
college games or pro games on Friday night because they
don't want to take away from high school.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
We pass through a labor day, and at the start
of high school football in twenty twenty six, labor Day
isn't until September seventh. That puts the following Thursday, the
second week of the month. And that is where that's
a no no against high school football.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Greg in Arizona, Hi, Greg, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (13:55):
Good morning, mister Patrick, shout.
Speaker 16 (13:57):
Out to go.
Speaker 15 (13:58):
I've always wanted to say that, Hey, I gotta find
the base bet for not just you guys, I want
I want the b RG.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
Guys involved in this as well.
Speaker 15 (14:07):
No, I don't.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I don't think the Browns are gonna win the division.
I'm not that senile enough, but I believe they're gonna win,
go to the wildcard, and they're gonna make set a
wildcard win.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Uh And is this a pie of the face? Greg?
Speaker 18 (14:23):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (14:24):
Absolute pie of the face. The Browns are going to
the playoffs as a wildcard. I know we're not gonna
win the division, but I swear we're going to wildcard.
We're gonna win a wildcard playoff game, and I'll take
a pile to the face bet for you and all
you guys are all love all you guys, and that
includes the b RGS.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, yeah, we'll take that as a group.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But if you lose this bet, Greg, you get twelve
pies to the face.
Speaker 15 (14:53):
I'll take you.
Speaker 16 (14:54):
I'll take you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think Greg just won the hot take game right there.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Yeah, twelve him.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But all right, we got the bet that the Browns
don't win the division, but they will be the wildcard
team and they will win a wild card game.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yes, Morvin, I.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Would have taken a pie if they won six games
this year.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I hope that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Okay, we got to get a big kind of chalkboard
or something where we keep track of all of these
hot take board. No, no, no, the bets, the pies
to the face, because it just feels like every time
we go all right and then we move on and
then somebody will call in and go, hey, I got
a pie to the face, Bet, I want to send
you my video.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I don't even know what it was for. Yeah, I
think I got a thing for us. Oh, I think
I have a legit bet tracker that'll go maybe on
our website. Okay, and we'll just we'll write them all down,
we'll put them in this like file and it'll be
available on the website.

Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:54):

opportunity there.

little square pies they got at the supermarket. There's got

Amazing facts about human nature and more.
Speaker 19 (19:23):
Listen to The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
We have all these different bets, pie to the face bets.
Why don't we have a pie sponsorship? Why doesn't Marie Calendar?
If somebody works at Marie Calendar and would like to
be the official pie of the DP show, you know
it's a Orange County company. Marie's son Don founded it
(19:50):
in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
How about we get some pies? Yes, ton, I've been a.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Short on X that that's still in existence, not as
many stores, but Marie Calendar, is this still a thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But if they would like to sponsor. Yeah, I'm getting
some messages here. This is the absolute best pie in
the business. They are delicious banana and coconut cream ones.
All right, maybe we could get a pie sponsorship out
of this. We'll get more phone calls come up. See
what's pole question from? I didn't even know if we
(20:22):
went to one in the first hour, let alone the second.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Well, I'm trying to.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Get the wording of this right, but I think it's
going to be a little sensitive, okay, because I don't
know if I can. I'm trying to find a better
way to ask this question. But Steve Baumber is the
victim or villain. I'm going for the what's that called?
Paul and the V and V aiteration of the literation,
(20:46):
thank you, victim and villain.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He kind of rolls off the top together. That's a
fair okay question. Well, okay with that, we're comfortable with that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You know, Paul's the executive producer. Blame him, He'll take
the blame. Y. Yeah, Hey, you guys approved it. I
don't Ron Jowarski, NFL quarterback for seventeen seasons. He went
to a Super Bowl and he will be handling the
Eagles pre and post game show for NBC Sports Net tonight.
What are the expectations for the Eagles this season?
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Johnson Dan, first of all, greet with you once again.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Expectations in Philadelphia are through the roof. It will be
going crazy tonight at Lincoln Financial Field when that banner
is raised. The bar is very high. I think most
people that have watched football for the last couple of
years believe that Howie Roseman has built a franchise for
the long haul, not only to win, but to win
Super Bowls. Of this a very good football team, the
(21:44):
national TV audience, and of course the Dallas Cowboys. This
is always a game when the schedule came out in
Philadelphia have put a big circle around the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 12 (21:51):
It's been a bitter rivalry for a long time.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So also you get the World Champions unveiling the banner
here in Philadelphia this evening, you got to Dallas Cowboys
coming to town.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
It'd be the highest rated game of the year. So
it's a great matchup.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But is it Super Bowl or bust? Like anything other
than a Super Bowl win in Philadelphia? Would that be
a disappointment?
Speaker 14 (22:10):
Yes, it's Philadelphia just the way it is and you
learn to live with it. But this is a very
good football team. The Cowboys are kind of going through
a rebuilding state right now. The Egles last year in
the two games against the Cowboys, wong by a.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Score of seventy five to thirteen.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
That's correct, an seventy five to thirteen last season. So
of course Dak Prescott's not playing those games. They'll be
playing this evening. But right now, the Eagles organization is
far ahead of the Cowboys organization as far as the
player development and the team they put on the field.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I know we love rankings, we love lists, especially with quarterbacks,
and I just don't know if we know how to
properly rank Jalen Hurts. I don't know if he's a
great quarterback, but he is the right quarterback for this team.
How do you look at where he kind of stands
with these other coquarterbacks right now?
Speaker 14 (23:01):
He's the best quarterback in the national football because he
has that Benston Party Trophy in his hand.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
He's a world champion quarterback. He's a Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
And I don't know how he come up with all
these quarterback rankings and ratings and who's number one, Who's
number thirty two and who's moving up and who's moving down.
You know, I played seventeen years. As you introduce me
in this league. The only thing that I was concerned
about was can we win the football game? Not numbers,
not stats. Can we win the football game. You look
at Chanlen Hurts's record. The only thing this young man
(23:31):
cares about is winning. He's still pissed off right now.
I mean, he's a super MVP, but now he feels
disrespect because he's not in the top three or four,
top five of these quarterback rankings in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But why would he care about that, jaws? If he
cares about winning, why would he care about his ranking?
Speaker 12 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 14 (23:48):
Because you gotta have something to motivate yourself. Every player's
got something besides whenning. What's going to motivate you to
become great? It's not always the wins and losses. Everyone's different.
Everyone motivates himself differently right now. But the guy is
a winning quarterback. He knows how to win. He prepares,
and I think the players, you know, I get out
the training camp, I see how he operates, how the
team operates, how Nick operates the football team on the
(24:09):
practice field, and you know it's no joke. It's no
joking around. I'm Jalen Hurts is the leader of the
football team. He's a winning quarterback. And to me, you
rate a quarterback. Does he win games? When the game
is on the line. Jalen Hurts makes plays. And I
think the one thing that's probably most overlooked and his
skill set, his ability to run and read defenses. And
now he's gotten so much better at that because you
(24:31):
have to you have to respect Jailer. It's ability to run,
to throw on the run and run those zone read
options that's to be separates him because he stretches the
field donally vertically in the passing game, but horizontally in
the running game. And I think a good example I
was looking at some tape of the Cowboys with Michael
Parsons in there over the last couple years, getting in
preparation for this game. Michael Parsons really was never a
(24:52):
factor against the Eagles, never a factor because they made
him play the run. They ran the zone read option
at him, made him wrong. And only there's only one
quarterback I think you can do that. Well, there's other's Patrick
Mahomes could do it, but they don't put him in
Hams way. Probably Josh Allen could do it. They don't
put in Hams way. Thieves are willing to take a
chance with Chand there's because he normally makes the right
decision when he makes a decision to run the football
or handed off in the running game.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I always found it interesting with great players and players
who could track you down Lawrence Taylor, that the best
play is to go after them, like go straight to them,
instead of letting them have that catch up speed that
you know MIKEA. Parsions has I go back to Alan Page.
I remember Tony Dungee saying we went right at him
(25:35):
because we knew he would eventually catch us if we didn't.
Speaker 12 (25:39):
Well, especially you know at the lineback position.
Speaker 14 (25:42):
It's become such an important position in the NFL, and
I think the best way to take on a guy
that likes to use speed and quickness and athleticism is
a run right at him, you know, make him take
on blocks for sixty five or seventy plays a game,
where's ass down. You know, That's kind of what the
approach that teams take on it. If you've got a
great athlete as a linebacker, even the defensive line, run
it right at him, make him and make him make plays.
Speaker 12 (26:03):
And wear him down. So yes, I would agree with
your assessment of that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'm talking to Ron Jaworski, the former NFL quarterback. He's
working with the Eagles the pre and post game show
for NBC sports Net tonight. If not the Eagles, then who.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Probably the Chiefs.
Speaker 14 (26:19):
Again, I think the Bills are creeping up as far
as winning the Super Bowl. They're gonna be teams in
the hunt. Detroit's gonna be in the hunt. There's no
question of that. I love this week, this first opening week,
because no one knows what the hell's gonna happen. Dan,
I mean, it is the hardest. You know, as a
player for seventeen years, I knew Week one he didn't
know what to expect. No one shows anything any more
in the preseason. It is the hardest game to evaluate.
(26:41):
I always say, I'll come on here show in four
weeks and then you can ask me the question, who's
the best team in the National Football I think you
need we need to see a sampling, not based on
one last year.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
This Eagle roster. They're the world champions. They've had tremendous turnover.
Tremendous turnover.
Speaker 14 (26:54):
You know you're gonna have four probably four new starters,
maybe five stars of defense tonight.
Speaker 12 (26:59):
U Fortunately for them, they're their offense is very sound.
Speaker 14 (27:01):
There will be one change at right guard with the
steam going in the right guard.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
They'll be fine on offense, but defense, there's a turnover.
Speaker 14 (27:08):
So you got to see how it's gonna play out
when as the season wears on.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Can you defend what Jerry Jones did in the Micah
Parsons situation.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Yeah, I think both teams wanting this. I think the
immediate winner is the Green Bay Packers. They get a
great football player. They're now probably along with the Eagles,
probably the odds on favorite to go to the Super
Bowl and win a World championship. That the Packers got
a lot better now, But they gave up a lot
to give to number one draft choices and Kenny Clarks.
Speaker 12 (27:34):
They gave up potentially, you know, a few all pro players.
Speaker 14 (27:37):
And let's be realistic, the Cowboys are in any kind
of a rebuilding type year, and if they hit on
those draft choices, you could say, Okay, they're gonna have
four first round picks the next two years, they're gonna
have a chance to rebuild their football team with high
draft choice. Yeah, they may not be number one's number twos,
but it gives them the capitol now to move up
into those positions where they can get any player they
want in the next two years. So I think for
(27:59):
the short term, the Green Bay certainly win. The long term,
I think the Dallas Cowboys win.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Always great to talk to you, Jaws, Thanks for joining us.
Have fun tonight, all right, I.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Always worked great work with you, Dan, You're the best.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's Ron Jaworski handling the Eagles pre and postgame show
for NBC Sportsnet coming up tonight. Uh Baker in Illinois,
Hi Bake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (28:20):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 18 (28:21):
Six one, two fifty You guys, we're talking about the
eighteen game NFL schedule and the President's date weekend super Bowl.
So I did a little deep dive and starting in
twenty twenty seven, if that happens by then, and then
every five to seven years after that, the Super Bowl
(28:43):
would be played on February fourteenth, which is my all
time's day.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Okay, is that gonna ruin somebody Sunday?
Speaker 18 (28:53):
You think?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I mean, I love love. I said to my wife,
I'm going to be watching the game. I'm sure she
would say, sure, I love you. You do what you
want to do.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
This isn't happening anytime soon the eighteen game schedule maybe
maybe maybe two years earliest. But this feels like, you know,
you're going to want to have this bit upon by
the networks like you have to. You know, there's a
lot of things that would go into this. You've got
to negotiate with the NFL Players Association. What do the
(29:29):
players want. I still suggest that you add four roster
sponts for each team if you're going to go to
an eighteen game schedule, but I would and I don't
have any information on when it would start. But everything
else is going as scripted in what I've told you
over the years. There, Zach and Knoxville. Hi Zach, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (29:51):
Hi ADP.
Speaker 18 (29:52):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 15 (29:53):
You've had a couple questions for Todd.
Speaker 13 (29:57):
So do you still get his Swanson TV dinners?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And what time does his Milkman come?
Speaker 18 (30:05):
Just asking for a friend.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
That's pretty funny. I actually used to love those Swanson
Hungry Man dinners.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Surlin, the Massed potatoes and the little pie thing and
those those were good old days.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And I was watching my children and uh, you're not
babysitting your children. You're you're watching your children. You're with
your children. And I remember those uh TV dinners fried chicken.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It was the best.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, Like I couldn't screw it up. And then you
could just put it in front of them and put
on the TV. And you were the best dad in
the world. Yes, Marvin, did you say the best are
just the most convenient? Those weren't good.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
They weren't whoa whoa whoa wrong generation, Mark? Are you
kidding me with those tater tong You're right, they weren't good.
They were great, Okay, if.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You say something, yeah, they were good for me, like
growing up, if my mom said, hey, TV dinners were like, yeah,
did dad get a raise?
Speaker 7 (31:00):
There was definitely a period where they were great and
then there was a period where they stopped being great
and they were gross. Well, we might be looking at
the generational divide here, because.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
They were great.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But when you'd have the spillover into the different little compartments,
then I'd get pissed, Like I'd have green beans in
the pudding or the.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Cake, and I go godda.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
But the fried chicken tater Todd's Salisbury steak. That was
pretty good eating in my neighborhood. We're having TV dinners.
What do you guys having My dad's cooking steaks on
the grill. Yeah, it sucks to be you. I got
a TV dinner. Jeffrey in Michigan, Hi, jeff.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
Hey, guys, six one, two sixty. I just want to say, Fritzy,
I got your back, man. I was literally going to
call in and say, I think you guys need to
get Marie Calender as a sponsor for this whole time
of the face thing. I'm glad you took all the
eat I'm glad they ripped you apart and not me.
But I got your back on it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
All right, Jeffrey. Jeffrey's there with you. You know you're
slowly building a fan base here. Remember Paul in Indiana
yesterday he had your back. So you got like three
or four fans.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Does that bounce out the hundred? There's like stop when
I turned the radio off where you.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Talk, everybody get your hands up, raise your hands, everybody,
get your hands up.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It was funny. It was funny yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
I have my moments. I better have my moments.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
By the way, we're gonna write the headline for tonight's
game and we'll do that like tomorrow's headline for tonight's game.
We'll have that coming up. And we have our hot
takes top of the hour. This is the fifth annual
Hot take draft.
Speaker 3 (32:56):

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Maybe maybe I'll see if I could get big Deray
or you know somebody in the back that we could
do a s'mores run, you know, for the hot takes there.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think I'll work on that. All right, let me
take a break. We're back after this. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Now people are sending pictures of Marie Calendar pies in Hey,
I want a sponsorship out of this, or maybe Swanson
Hungry Man TV dinners and back then, you know, when
I was growing up, you had to put him in
an oven. We didn't have a microwave, and to put
him in the oven. You can't cook them thoroughly with
a microwave. No, plus the ten would explode, Yes, it
(33:50):
would spark, but you know you'd put it in the oven.
And we had six kids, so you had six TV
dinners in there, and uh, it was good stuff. Mashed
potatoes probably weren't done, you know, the corn would go
into the dessert. The chicken might have been done, but
that was okay kind of TV dinner.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Yeah, yeah, I would eat that dessert first.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
Whatever, kind of like cherry tart or they burn the
crap out of your mouth right away right away, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Were TV trays a big deal when you guys were kids.
With the adults and maybe grandparents.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
We didn't have them. We put them on our lap,
and of course you'd burn your scalded little legs, so
we would put a towel, a beach towel on our
lap and then put our TV dinner there.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yes, you could either have that like tin one or
whatever that had the little legs that folded down, or
sometimes there were even fancier ones that were more of
like a wooden sort of mesh kind of thing, had
a little spot for like your cup to go in. Yeah,
you put a magazine on the side, baby, it.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yours predictions for tonight, Todd, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Your prediction for tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Is I've got the Philadelphia Eagles winning twenty nine to
twenty three, and I have a little headline.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Unless we want to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Over the lhow you can throw it out there.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
I think Dak's going to struggle a little bit. He's
gonna get picked a couple of times. How do you
like Dak?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Philly picks apart Prescott twenty nine to twenty three, Super
Bowl Champs.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Okay, you slow down when you're really proud of your delivery.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
How do you like that?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Billy picks?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Okay, Seat O'Connor prediction for tonight.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Oh man, Well, you know I.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Love ceed Lamb, I really do, and I want him
to win as many games as possible. I just want
him to do it on another team. I prefer it
not be the Cowboys, so I'm going to Eagles. I
think the Eagles roll today.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Which then have to do with Ceedee Lamb on another
team because I like Ceede Lamb.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Okay, I just don't wanted to play for the Cowboys.
So normally, like if I like a player, I'll pick
that team. I'll be like, oh man, I love Ceedee Lamb,
so I'm gonna pick his team to win. But I
don't like the Cowboys, so I can't pick them.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Marvin Eagles thirty one, Cowboys seventeen, late game touchdown to
make it a cover.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yes, okay, late cover.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I hope the game is kind of out of reach,
so I don't have to stay here all night with Shay.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Yes, Marvin, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
I think it's going to be thirty one to ten,
and then the Cowboys score late touchdown and that goes
over with the passing yards.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
From your experience, is Shay the type that overstays is welcome.
What kind of social cues do you have to give him?
Where you want to wrap up the night and the
studio so you can go all home.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Well, I was thinking of sleeping here and I would
just get up as I do at my house. I
just get up and I go to bed. Or when
I leave a party, I just get up and leave. Yeah,
she doesn't.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Strike me as a social cues kind of guy. I
think he's kind of going along his own way one
way or the other.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, because he might say, Danny, I'm out of here,
and then he would leave. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
He's gonna watch me drinking tequila and smoking cigars and
then he probably is going to be like, I don't
want to be around this. Cowboys are losing and you're
having fun, and I'm out of here. Danny Paulie prediction.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
I would go Eagles twenty eight to twenty over the
Cowboys for bonus covers, though Kenny Clark will have a
sack and a bumb over.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Recovery to propel that narrative. Just for a snarkiness, I am.
I'm going to take the Eagles by three. I'm going
to take the Eagles by three. To make it a
little more interesting. You know, Chip on their shoulder, They're
gonna they're gonna, you know, sneak in a couple of times.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
We don't need him, Yeah, yeah, Mike Michael who we
don't need him.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Michael. Who oh yes, Don.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
And you give us a final score that we can
hold you too, so we can have fun with that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Tomorro twenty seven to twenty four. That would be three
twenty seven twenty four Eagles, Eagles, Eagles, Cowboys plus eight
and a half.

money up and uh place their bets. Let's see uh
(38:54):
Brian and Pittsburgh. Hey, Brian, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 21 (38:59):
The first time long time, I I Freddie Freeman for
the Dodgers. His World Series performance, I put Todd on
par with Freddie Freeman for the Dan Patrick.
Speaker 16 (39:12):
So I'm I'm a uh delivery.
Speaker 21 (39:17):
Driver for a nationwide company and this is the best
three hours of my day. You guys, I laugh consistently.
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Thank you. Brian. Wow, you're the Freddie Freeman of the show.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
Best here.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
I've had some bad days, so I'm going to enjoy
this one with the with the nice No.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
I don't know what happened here.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
But got a lot of checks to our band, So
I guess you're not paying.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
You're cheap, you're not paying Glenn and san Diego. Hi, Glenn,
real quick, way.
Speaker 15 (39:48):
To go, Todd, Hey, Dan, I got it.
Speaker 22 (39:51):
I got a complaint.
Speaker 15 (39:52):
The guys have a solution.
Speaker 22 (39:54):
I thought the NFL has become a league of mediocrity,
and you guys brought it up yesterday with the whole
who doesn't get into the playoffs type of thing, and
I'm a charger fans of trust me, I know what
mediocrity looks like. I'm wondering why we don't just divide
the divisions East, West, AFC, NFC, take the top seven teams,
no more subpar teams getting into the playoffs, and if
(40:16):
you want to make it real crazy, if the UFL survives,
we start thinking about the mote and the top bottom
four teams and bring in the top four teams from
the EXO.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I mean, from the UF to the those teams aren't
They're not even close to competing. No, they would never
go for that. These owners, they're not going for that.
This isn't the Premiership, the Premier League. That's not going
to happen. I like relegation in college. I'm all for
that final hour. In fact, ten minutes from now, your
(40:51):
radio or TV might get a little warm to the touch.
It's the fifth annual NFL Hot Take Game. Also Ross Tucker,
speaking of hot he will join us in the final
hour Dan and The Dan at Stan Patrick Show.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Thursday football tonight.
I'm going to be at the man Cave tonight with
Shayan Irving watching his Cowboys against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What could go wrong? Everything? But I did tell him,
you got to be on your best behavior. If we're
going to be filming some of this, you got to
watch your language. He promised. Since he's not drinking anymore,
he's not doing anything anymore. He said, he'll be on
his best behavior. And I was thinking, could I do
a swear jar and for charity and Shaye would probably
(00:41):
agree to that, but he just said, and I'm not
worried if he was drinking or he was doing something else,
He's going to be fired up no matter what.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I mean. You heard him earlier in the week when
we had him on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He was talking about Michael Parsons and he was apoplectic
and he said, you know, it's a trigger. It makes
him want to drink. But the gambling podcast was recorded yesterday.
If you go to Danpatrick dot com, man, what a
wild thirty minutes, and these guys did get around to
their picks. Shay and Irving bad Larry and Dylan. I
(01:14):
don't I mean guaranteed to be wrong, but still very entertaining.
And uh it's Dan Patrick takes a gamble and Marvin
was there. Marvin has to run the controls, he's recording everything.
He's got to listen to all of this, and uh,
you know what, you're a good soldier.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You are a good soldier, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yes, I had to edit out maybe about six minutes
of content and then something happened. Marvin, back me up.
I will not back you up. Don't you ever think
I'll back you up?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
What did you refer to it as? Oh, black up,
black up?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Like? Oh like I have a black friend Marvin. No, no, no,
that will never be me. Don't you ever. Don't you
ever ask me to help you now with that?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You're just my friend.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I don't see color.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No I don't either. Okay, it's an hour two on
the program. Ron Jaworski, former quarterback, and he'll join us.
He'll be in Philadelphia, of course, his hometown, with the
Eagles and the Cowboys coming up tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
It's eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's the point spread the hot take draft in an
hour from now, does everybody have I need at least
two from the NFC and two from the AFC.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Todd, I am looking what I have here, and I
actually do have exactly two AFC and two NFC.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I got four. Take.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, if you are really hot on something, even a
hotter hot take, and you want to add that, than
you can bonus hot takes.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I'm all for that. Seaton. I have a question about
one of mine. Okay.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
I can't tell if this is necessarily a hot take
or just a prediction, but it involves tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's a tease. It's kind of like more like I'm
calling something.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, you're calling for the Cowboys to shock the word incorrect?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh, never in my life will you ever hear that
come from me? Okay, well, then we have a tease.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, I have the odds on who's gonna score the
first touchdown on the season. If you said Saquon Barkley,
you would be correct.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's my take for the night. Oh, that Sequon's going
to score the first touchdown.
Speaker 7 (03:19):

Spend a lot of time talking about the Clippers, Kawhi, Leonard,
(05:41):
Steve Balmer allegations the NBA is investigating. Everybody has been
invited to join us here in the sandbox, but nobody
has taken us up on the offer just yet. Let
me see, how about James and Austin? Hi, James, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (06:00):
What's up?
Speaker 12 (06:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (06:03):
First things first, I can't wait for the stream tonight
with you and Jay I personally hope it's nuts.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But I had a.
Speaker 11 (06:09):
Question about the Kawhi Leonard stuff. And so say these
billionaire owners, they own teams and they acquire a player,
would it be unethical or illegal if that owner also
had like a stake or ownership, and say Gatorade, and
then Gatorade were to endorse that player to help compensate
with them with the salary cap.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I am salary cap ignorant with this and what you
can and can't do. Let's say Phil Knight owned an
NFL team and he was going to give you fifty
million dollars. Let's say he owned the Dallas Mavericks and
he's going to give Cooper Flag fifty million dollar endorsement deal.
(06:55):
I guess that's legal as long as he is doing
something for that money with NI, But I don't know
how they circumvent the salary camp. I mean, I can
imagine how you're going to do that. And I think
you know, on a local basis, you will have sponsors
who then want to pay money to one of the
star players to endorse their product in a local market.
(07:16):
Because sometimes you'll go to these cities and all of
a sudden you'll see a former player pop up and
he's talking about, you know, a law firm or a
car dealership. Those things happen, but I don't know how
closely these commissioners monitor these situations. Michael and fort Wayne.
I Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 13 (07:39):
I've I've been thinking the last couple of days about
Pablo Tore's report. And the thing that's puzzled me the
most about this whole thing is the three thousand pages
of information, because it's just an absurd number, like, how
on earth does anyone get that much paper about anything?
And then thinking back to my high school and college experience,
(08:01):
it hit me he took the five hundred pages of
evidence that he had and then he increased the font size,
squeezed his margins, and double spaced his line.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Been there, thank you? Michael.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well, it's all public records here. I think that that's
you know, he has this information because it was made available.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But I don't know if he's.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Making it seem maybe there's only like nineteen pages, but
you know, the font size, it looks like an eye chart.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Three thousand pages, three thousand pages. Yes, yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Remember in eighth grade, you had to do a book
report and had to be two hundred words, and you're like,
Huck Finn is a very very very interesting book.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Connor in Chicago, Hi, Connor, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (08:46):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (08:46):
What five? Nine hard one seventy five?
Speaker 16 (08:52):
Did you give me a right?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Just pulling in?
Speaker 17 (08:57):
Actually gonna say, with all this stuff going on in
the NFL and over in Europe and stuff a lot more,
I think the NFL is eventually going to go with
that eighteen game season, two bye weeks. The extra bye
week will be when you come back from Europe, and
then it'll be no more preseason games.
Speaker 18 (09:11):
So eventually every game will matter.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think you have to have preseason games. I think
that would be important. It is important. We've seen the
Bengals never get off to a good start. They normally
don't play their starters in the preseason. They changed that
up this year. I think you have to have at
least two of those games. Maybe you have a controlled scrimmage.
I would like to see college football have a preseason
(09:37):
and get rid of these games. To start a season
where you're playing against Mercer or Samford. That would eliminate
but I want you know, these little schools, they are
willing to be sacrificial lambs because they get that money,
and that might be the entire treasure chest of all
the athletics at a smaller school.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But if you want to have a level playing field
where you're playing quality opponents week in and week out,
then maybe.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
We have a preseason.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Maybe you schedule some of these teams in a preseason game,
therefore they can get that money, but you go into
the regular season. Now these games count, but I do
think we need at least two preseason games in the
NFL Robin Orlando Hi roby good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Then think about the NFL scheduling in the number of games.
I don't understand maybe this has been discussed, but if
you shift to a nineteen week season with the seventeen
game schedule two by weeks, it stretches out the season
to get you to President's Day. And additionally, it gives
you the additional inventory for you know, NFL to self
(10:49):
with packages, you know, to the other networks and everything.
And then it also allows you the two buy weeks
so that you can never have a reason to have
to play Thursday on a short week.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, whatever is going to bring about the best quality. Okay,
I'm all about player safety, getting a time to recover
to play a game. If you're traveling overseas and then
you come back, how much time do you have And
they're going to eighteen games, it's just a given. Now
the NFL Player Association can say, hey, hold on, Commissioner,
(11:22):
not so fast. I've got a sowerce Suits told me
this has been in the plant, in the works for years,
that this is what's going to happen. They're eventually going
to go to President's Day weekend for the Super Bowl.
All of this stuff is playing out. I didn't have
a time frame for it, but I was told by somebody,
you know, one of the higher ups, that this was
all planned out and that you're going to have the
(11:45):
networks are going to bid on the international games.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yes, Mark, But if they move it to an eighteen
game schedule and get two bye weeks, that may affect
college football because we're only a week ahead of President's
Day now with the Super Bowl, and so now with
two bye weeks, does the NFL move it move up
their season a week till Labor Day weekend and infect
college football? Is opening weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I don't think they worry and care about college football.
They don't care about other sports.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They do not remember there weren't going to be games
on Friday night because they didn't want to disrupt high
school football. That's not the case anymore. Chiefs Chargers Friday
Night from Brazil. David in Ohio. Hi, David, Hey.
Speaker 16 (12:33):
Dan, you were talking about the swear jar with Shade tonight.
I think it's every time he swears.
Speaker 17 (12:38):
Put the money in the square jar and all the
money goes to the ginger's favorite charity.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Thank you, all right, thank you, David. David's been roasting
here lately. He's been on a roll. Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
There's actually an update on that NFL Friday night high
school conflict thing. The Athletic reported that Week one of
the NFL Next year they cannot will not play a
Friday night game because it abuts the window for the law,
the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one that protects
high school football, and so they can't do it next year.
Have a Friday night opener.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Is there high school football this Friday night?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
I don't. It's unclear why they can have one this year.
On a Friday night. Maybe because it's out of the
country like an offshore bookiey offshore and count Yeah, it
doesn't count if it's outside.
Speaker 17 (13:25):
That might be.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm not even joking that maybe it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But yeah, because I was told, hey, you can't have
college games or pro games on Friday night because they
don't want to take away from high school.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
We pass through a labor day, and at the start
of high school football in twenty twenty six, labor Day
isn't until September seventh. That puts the following Thursday, the
second week of the month. And that is where that's
a no no against high school football.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Greg in Arizona, Hi, Greg, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (13:55):
Good morning, mister Patrick, shout.
Speaker 16 (13:57):
Out to go.
Speaker 15 (13:58):
I've always wanted to say that, Hey, I gotta find
the base bet for not just you guys, I want
I want the b RG.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
Guys involved in this as well.
Speaker 15 (14:07):
No, I don't.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I don't think the Browns are gonna win the division.
I'm not that senile enough, but I believe they're gonna win,
go to the wildcard, and they're gonna make set a
wildcard win.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Uh And is this a pie of the face? Greg?
Speaker 18 (14:23):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (14:24):
Absolute pie of the face. The Browns are going to
the playoffs as a wildcard. I know we're not gonna
win the division, but I swear we're going to wildcard.
We're gonna win a wildcard playoff game, and I'll take
a pile to the face bet for you and all
you guys are all love all you guys, and that
includes the b RGS.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, yeah, we'll take that as a group.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But if you lose this bet, Greg, you get twelve
pies to the face.
Speaker 15 (14:53):
I'll take you.
Speaker 16 (14:54):
I'll take you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think Greg just won the hot take game right there.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Yeah, twelve him.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But all right, we got the bet that the Browns
don't win the division, but they will be the wildcard
team and they will win a wild card game.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yes, Morvin, I.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Would have taken a pie if they won six games
this year.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I hope that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Okay, we got to get a big kind of chalkboard
or something where we keep track of all of these
hot take board. No, no, no, the bets, the pies
to the face, because it just feels like every time
we go all right and then we move on and
then somebody will call in and go, hey, I got
a pie to the face, Bet, I want to send
you my video.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I don't even know what it was for. Yeah, I
think I got a thing for us. Oh, I think
I have a legit bet tracker that'll go maybe on
our website. Okay, and we'll just we'll write them all down,
we'll put them in this like file and it'll be
available on the website.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Yes, Tom, get a little Marie Calendar sponsorship going.

opportunity there.

Are they still in business?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I don't know one of those table talk what those
little square pies they got at the supermarket. There's got

Speaker 2 (19:29):
We have all these different bets, pie to the face bets.
Why don't we have a pie sponsorship? Why doesn't Marie Calendar?
If somebody works at Marie Calendar and would like to
be the official pie of the DP show, you know
it's a Orange County company. Marie's son Don founded it
(19:50):
in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
How about we get some pies? Yes, ton, I've been a.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Short on X that that's still in existence, not as
many stores, but Marie Calendar, is this still a thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But if they would like to sponsor. Yeah, I'm getting
some messages here. This is the absolute best pie in
the business. They are delicious banana and coconut cream ones.
All right, maybe we could get a pie sponsorship out
of this. We'll get more phone calls come up. See
what's pole question from? I didn't even know if we
(20:22):
went to one in the first hour, let alone the second.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Well, I'm trying to.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Get the wording of this right, but I think it's
going to be a little sensitive, okay, because I don't
know if I can. I'm trying to find a better
way to ask this question. But Steve Baumber is the
victim or villain. I'm going for the what's that called?
Paul and the V and V aiteration of the literation,
(20:46):
thank you, victim and villain.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He kind of rolls off the top together. That's a
fair okay question. Well, okay with that, we're comfortable with that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You know, Paul's the executive producer. Blame him, He'll take
the blame. Y. Yeah, Hey, you guys approved it. I
don't Ron Jowarski, NFL quarterback for seventeen seasons. He went
to a Super Bowl and he will be handling the
Eagles pre and post game show for NBC Sports Net tonight.
What are the expectations for the Eagles this season?
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Johnson Dan, first of all, greet with you once again.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Expectations in Philadelphia are through the roof. It will be
going crazy tonight at Lincoln Financial Field when that banner
is raised. The bar is very high. I think most
people that have watched football for the last couple of
years believe that Howie Roseman has built a franchise for
the long haul, not only to win, but to win
Super Bowls. Of this a very good football team, the
(21:44):
national TV audience, and of course the Dallas Cowboys. This
is always a game when the schedule came out in
Philadelphia have put a big circle around the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 12 (21:51):
It's been a bitter rivalry for a long time.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So also you get the World Champions unveiling the banner
here in Philadelphia this evening, you got to Dallas Cowboys
coming to town.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
It'd be the highest rated game of the year. So
it's a great matchup.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But is it Super Bowl or bust? Like anything other
than a Super Bowl win in Philadelphia? Would that be
a disappointment?
Speaker 14 (22:10):
Yes, it's Philadelphia just the way it is and you
learn to live with it. But this is a very
good football team. The Cowboys are kind of going through
a rebuilding state right now. The Egles last year in
the two games against the Cowboys, wong by a.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Score of seventy five to thirteen.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
That's correct, an seventy five to thirteen last season. So
of course Dak Prescott's not playing those games. They'll be
playing this evening. But right now, the Eagles organization is
far ahead of the Cowboys organization as far as the
player development and the team they put on the field.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I know we love rankings, we love lists, especially with quarterbacks,
and I just don't know if we know how to
properly rank Jalen Hurts. I don't know if he's a
great quarterback, but he is the right quarterback for this team.
How do you look at where he kind of stands
with these other coquarterbacks right now?
Speaker 14 (23:01):
He's the best quarterback in the national football because he
has that Benston Party Trophy in his hand.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
He's a world champion quarterback. He's a Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
And I don't know how he come up with all
these quarterback rankings and ratings and who's number one, Who's
number thirty two and who's moving up and who's moving down.
You know, I played seventeen years. As you introduce me
in this league. The only thing that I was concerned
about was can we win the football game? Not numbers,
not stats. Can we win the football game. You look
at Chanlen Hurts's record. The only thing this young man
(23:31):
cares about is winning. He's still pissed off right now.
I mean, he's a super MVP, but now he feels
disrespect because he's not in the top three or four,
top five of these quarterback rankings in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But why would he care about that, jaws? If he
cares about winning, why would he care about his ranking?
Speaker 12 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 14 (23:48):
Because you gotta have something to motivate yourself. Every player's
got something besides whenning. What's going to motivate you to
become great? It's not always the wins and losses. Everyone's different.
Everyone motivates himself differently right now. But the guy is
a winning quarterback. He knows how to win. He prepares,
and I think the players, you know, I get out
the training camp, I see how he operates, how the
team operates, how Nick operates the football team on the
(24:09):
practice field, and you know it's no joke. It's no
joking around. I'm Jalen Hurts is the leader of the
football team. He's a winning quarterback. And to me, you
rate a quarterback. Does he win games? When the game
is on the line. Jalen Hurts makes plays. And I
think the one thing that's probably most overlooked and his
skill set, his ability to run and read defenses. And
now he's gotten so much better at that because you
(24:31):
have to you have to respect Jailer. It's ability to run,
to throw on the run and run those zone read
options that's to be separates him because he stretches the
field donally vertically in the passing game, but horizontally in
the running game. And I think a good example I
was looking at some tape of the Cowboys with Michael
Parsons in there over the last couple years, getting in
preparation for this game. Michael Parsons really was never a
(24:52):
factor against the Eagles, never a factor because they made
him play the run. They ran the zone read option
at him, made him wrong. And only there's only one
quarterback I think you can do that. Well, there's other's Patrick
Mahomes could do it, but they don't put him in
Hams way. Probably Josh Allen could do it. They don't
put in Hams way. Thieves are willing to take a
chance with Chand there's because he normally makes the right
decision when he makes a decision to run the football
or handed off in the running game.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I always found it interesting with great players and players
who could track you down Lawrence Taylor, that the best
play is to go after them, like go straight to them,
instead of letting them have that catch up speed that
you know MIKEA. Parsions has I go back to Alan Page.
I remember Tony Dungee saying we went right at him
(25:35):
because we knew he would eventually catch us if we didn't.
Speaker 12 (25:39):
Well, especially you know at the lineback position.
Speaker 14 (25:42):
It's become such an important position in the NFL, and
I think the best way to take on a guy
that likes to use speed and quickness and athleticism is
a run right at him, you know, make him take
on blocks for sixty five or seventy plays a game,
where's ass down. You know, That's kind of what the
approach that teams take on it. If you've got a
great athlete as a linebacker, even the defensive line, run
it right at him, make him and make him make plays.
Speaker 12 (26:03):
And wear him down. So yes, I would agree with
your assessment of that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'm talking to Ron Jaworski, the former NFL quarterback. He's
working with the Eagles the pre and post game show
for NBC sports Net tonight. If not the Eagles, then who.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Probably the Chiefs.
Speaker 14 (26:19):
Again, I think the Bills are creeping up as far
as winning the Super Bowl. They're gonna be teams in
the hunt. Detroit's gonna be in the hunt. There's no
question of that. I love this week, this first opening week,
because no one knows what the hell's gonna happen. Dan,
I mean, it is the hardest. You know, as a
player for seventeen years, I knew Week one he didn't
know what to expect. No one shows anything any more
in the preseason. It is the hardest game to evaluate.
(26:41):
I always say, I'll come on here show in four
weeks and then you can ask me the question, who's
the best team in the National Football I think you
need we need to see a sampling, not based on
one last year.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
This Eagle roster. They're the world champions. They've had tremendous turnover.
Tremendous turnover.
Speaker 14 (26:54):
You know you're gonna have four probably four new starters,
maybe five stars of defense tonight.
Speaker 12 (26:59):
U Fortunately for them, they're their offense is very sound.
Speaker 14 (27:01):
There will be one change at right guard with the
steam going in the right guard.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
They'll be fine on offense, but defense, there's a turnover.
Speaker 14 (27:08):
So you got to see how it's gonna play out
when as the season wears on.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Can you defend what Jerry Jones did in the Micah
Parsons situation.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Yeah, I think both teams wanting this. I think the
immediate winner is the Green Bay Packers. They get a
great football player. They're now probably along with the Eagles,
probably the odds on favorite to go to the Super
Bowl and win a World championship. That the Packers got
a lot better now, But they gave up a lot
to give to number one draft choices and Kenny Clarks.
Speaker 12 (27:34):
They gave up potentially, you know, a few all pro players.
Speaker 14 (27:37):
And let's be realistic, the Cowboys are in any kind
of a rebuilding type year, and if they hit on
those draft choices, you could say, Okay, they're gonna have
four first round picks the next two years, they're gonna
have a chance to rebuild their football team with high
draft choice. Yeah, they may not be number one's number twos,
but it gives them the capitol now to move up
into those positions where they can get any player they
want in the next two years. So I think for
(27:59):
the short term, the Green Bay certainly win. The long term,
I think the Dallas Cowboys win.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Always great to talk to you, Jaws, Thanks for joining us.
Have fun tonight, all right, I.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Always worked great work with you, Dan, You're the best.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's Ron Jaworski handling the Eagles pre and postgame show
for NBC Sportsnet coming up tonight. Uh Baker in Illinois,
Hi Bake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (28:20):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 18 (28:21):
Six one, two fifty You guys, we're talking about the
eighteen game NFL schedule and the President's date weekend super Bowl.
So I did a little deep dive and starting in
twenty twenty seven, if that happens by then, and then
every five to seven years after that, the Super Bowl
(28:43):
would be played on February fourteenth, which is my all
time's day.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Okay, is that gonna ruin somebody Sunday?
Speaker 18 (28:53):
You think?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I mean, I love love. I said to my wife,
I'm going to be watching the game. I'm sure she
would say, sure, I love you. You do what you
want to do.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
This isn't happening anytime soon the eighteen game schedule maybe
maybe maybe two years earliest. But this feels like, you know,
you're going to want to have this bit upon by
the networks like you have to. You know, there's a
lot of things that would go into this. You've got
to negotiate with the NFL Players Association. What do the
(29:29):
players want. I still suggest that you add four roster
sponts for each team if you're going to go to
an eighteen game schedule, but I would and I don't
have any information on when it would start. But everything
else is going as scripted in what I've told you
over the years. There, Zach and Knoxville. Hi Zach, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (29:51):
Hi ADP.
Speaker 18 (29:52):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 15 (29:53):
You've had a couple questions for Todd.
Speaker 13 (29:57):
So do you still get his Swanson TV dinners?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And what time does his Milkman come?
Speaker 18 (30:05):
Just asking for a friend.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
That's pretty funny. I actually used to love those Swanson
Hungry Man dinners.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Surlin, the Massed potatoes and the little pie thing and
those those were good old days.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And I was watching my children and uh, you're not
babysitting your children. You're you're watching your children. You're with
your children. And I remember those uh TV dinners fried chicken.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It was the best.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, Like I couldn't screw it up. And then you
could just put it in front of them and put
on the TV. And you were the best dad in
the world. Yes, Marvin, did you say the best are
just the most convenient? Those weren't good.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
They weren't whoa whoa whoa wrong generation, Mark? Are you
kidding me with those tater tong You're right, they weren't good.
They were great, Okay, if.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You say something, yeah, they were good for me, like
growing up, if my mom said, hey, TV dinners were like, yeah,
did dad get a raise?
Speaker 7 (31:00):
There was definitely a period where they were great and
then there was a period where they stopped being great
and they were gross. Well, we might be looking at
the generational divide here, because.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
They were great.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But when you'd have the spillover into the different little compartments,
then I'd get pissed, Like I'd have green beans in
the pudding or the.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Cake, and I go godda.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
But the fried chicken tater Todd's Salisbury steak. That was
pretty good eating in my neighborhood. We're having TV dinners.
What do you guys having My dad's cooking steaks on
the grill. Yeah, it sucks to be you. I got
a TV dinner. Jeffrey in Michigan, Hi, jeff.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
Hey, guys, six one, two sixty. I just want to say, Fritzy,
I got your back, man. I was literally going to
call in and say, I think you guys need to
get Marie Calender as a sponsor for this whole time
of the face thing. I'm glad you took all the
eat I'm glad they ripped you apart and not me.
But I got your back on it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
All right, Jeffrey. Jeffrey's there with you. You know you're
slowly building a fan base here. Remember Paul in Indiana
yesterday he had your back. So you got like three
or four fans.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Does that bounce out the hundred? There's like stop when
I turned the radio off where you.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Talk, everybody get your hands up, raise your hands, everybody,
get your hands up.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It was funny. It was funny yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
I have my moments. I better have my moments.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
By the way, we're gonna write the headline for tonight's
game and we'll do that like tomorrow's headline for tonight's game.
We'll have that coming up. And we have our hot
takes top of the hour. This is the fifth annual
Hot take draft.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
You know what, we should get some s'mores, dude, Yes,
let's go.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Maybe maybe I'll see if I could get big Deray
or you know somebody in the back that we could
do a s'mores run, you know, for the hot takes there.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think I'll work on that. All right, let me
take a break. We're back after this. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Now people are sending pictures of Marie Calendar pies in Hey,
I want a sponsorship out of this, or maybe Swanson
Hungry Man TV dinners and back then, you know, when
I was growing up, you had to put him in
an oven. We didn't have a microwave, and to put
him in the oven. You can't cook them thoroughly with
a microwave. No, plus the ten would explode, Yes, it
(33:50):
would spark, but you know you'd put it in the oven.
And we had six kids, so you had six TV
dinners in there, and uh, it was good stuff. Mashed
potatoes probably weren't done, you know, the corn would go
into the dessert. The chicken might have been done, but
that was okay kind of TV dinner.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Yeah, yeah, I would eat that dessert first.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
Whatever, kind of like cherry tart or they burn the
crap out of your mouth right away right away, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Were TV trays a big deal when you guys were kids.
With the adults and maybe grandparents.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
We didn't have them. We put them on our lap,
and of course you'd burn your scalded little legs, so
we would put a towel, a beach towel on our
lap and then put our TV dinner there.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yes, you could either have that like tin one or
whatever that had the little legs that folded down, or
sometimes there were even fancier ones that were more of
like a wooden sort of mesh kind of thing, had
a little spot for like your cup to go in. Yeah,
you put a magazine on the side, baby, it.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yours predictions for tonight, Todd, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Your prediction for tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Is I've got the Philadelphia Eagles winning twenty nine to
twenty three, and I have a little headline.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Unless we want to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Over the lhow you can throw it out there.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
I think Dak's going to struggle a little bit. He's
gonna get picked a couple of times. How do you
like Dak?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Philly picks apart Prescott twenty nine to twenty three, Super
Bowl Champs.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Okay, you slow down when you're really proud of your delivery.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
How do you like that?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Billy picks?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Okay, Seat O'Connor prediction for tonight.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Oh man, Well, you know I.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Love ceed Lamb, I really do, and I want him
to win as many games as possible. I just want
him to do it on another team. I prefer it
not be the Cowboys, so I'm going to Eagles. I
think the Eagles roll today.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Which then have to do with Ceedee Lamb on another
team because I like Ceede Lamb.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Okay, I just don't wanted to play for the Cowboys.
So normally, like if I like a player, I'll pick
that team. I'll be like, oh man, I love Ceedee Lamb,
so I'm gonna pick his team to win. But I
don't like the Cowboys, so I can't pick them.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Marvin Eagles thirty one, Cowboys seventeen, late game touchdown to
make it a cover.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yes, okay, late cover.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I hope the game is kind of out of reach,
so I don't have to stay here all night with Shay.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Yes, Marvin, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
I think it's going to be thirty one to ten,
and then the Cowboys score late touchdown and that goes
over with the passing yards.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
From your experience, is Shay the type that overstays is welcome.
What kind of social cues do you have to give him?
Where you want to wrap up the night and the
studio so you can go all home.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Well, I was thinking of sleeping here and I would
just get up as I do at my house. I
just get up and I go to bed. Or when
I leave a party, I just get up and leave. Yeah,
she doesn't.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Strike me as a social cues kind of guy. I
think he's kind of going along his own way one
way or the other.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, because he might say, Danny, I'm out of here,
and then he would leave. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
He's gonna watch me drinking tequila and smoking cigars and
then he probably is going to be like, I don't
want to be around this. Cowboys are losing and you're
having fun, and I'm out of here. Danny Paulie prediction.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
I would go Eagles twenty eight to twenty over the
Cowboys for bonus covers, though Kenny Clark will have a
sack and a bumb over.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Recovery to propel that narrative. Just for a snarkiness, I am.
I'm going to take the Eagles by three. I'm going
to take the Eagles by three. To make it a
little more interesting. You know, Chip on their shoulder, They're
gonna they're gonna, you know, sneak in a couple of times.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
We don't need him, Yeah, yeah, Mike Michael who we
don't need him.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Michael. Who oh yes, Don.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
And you give us a final score that we can
hold you too, so we can have fun with that.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Tomorro twenty seven to twenty four. That would be three
twenty seven twenty four Eagles, Eagles, Eagles, Cowboys plus eight
and a half.

My predictions for entertainment purposes only. But if you go
to the gambling podcast at Danpatrick dot com, those guys
play for keeps. They're the ones that actually put their
money up and uh place their bets. Let's see uh
(38:54):
Brian and Pittsburgh. Hey, Brian, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 21 (38:59):
The first time long time, I I Freddie Freeman for
the Dodgers. His World Series performance, I put Todd on
par with Freddie Freeman for the Dan Patrick.
Speaker 16 (39:12):
So I'm I'm a uh delivery.
Speaker 21 (39:17):
Driver for a nationwide company and this is the best
three hours of my day. You guys, I laugh consistently.
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Thank you. Brian. Wow, you're the Freddie Freeman of the show.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
Best here.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
I've had some bad days, so I'm going to enjoy
this one with the with the nice No.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
I don't know what happened here.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
But got a lot of checks to our band, So
I guess you're not paying.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
You're cheap, you're not paying Glenn and san Diego. Hi, Glenn,
real quick, way.
Speaker 15 (39:48):
To go, Todd, Hey, Dan, I got it.
Speaker 22 (39:51):
I got a complaint.
Speaker 15 (39:52):
The guys have a solution.
Speaker 22 (39:54):
I thought the NFL has become a league of mediocrity,
and you guys brought it up yesterday with the whole
who doesn't get into the playoffs type of thing, and
I'm a charger fans of trust me, I know what
mediocrity looks like. I'm wondering why we don't just divide
the divisions East, West, AFC, NFC, take the top seven teams,
no more subpar teams getting into the playoffs, and if
(40:16):
you want to make it real crazy, if the UFL survives,
we start thinking about the mote and the top bottom
four teams and bring in the top four teams from
the EXO.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I mean, from the UF to the those teams aren't
They're not even close to competing. No, they would never
go for that. These owners, they're not going for that.
This isn't the Premiership, the Premier League. That's not going
to happen. I like relegation in college. I'm all for
that final hour. In fact, ten minutes from now, your
(40:51):
radio or TV might get a little warm to the touch.
It's the fifth annual NFL Hot Take Game. Also Ross Tucker,
speaking of hot he will join us in the final
hour Dan and The Dan at Stan Patrick Show.
