The Buccaneers are getting nine against the Chiefs, but they
expect this going to be a higher scoring game. Over
under forty five and a half And in case you're wondering,
the over under passing yards for Patrick Mahomes just under

(01:03):
two hundred and fifty and for Baker Mayfield Junior the
third around two hundred and thirty six as well. But
that's a big number with Tampa, and Tampa's done well
on the road. Baker doesn't necessarily do well in primetime.
But the Chiefs all they do is win. Guest Paulie.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Wow, Okay, we're gonna play guests. That NFL news A
piece of NFL news just came through moments ago.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Happy that Seaton got it right?

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Correct?

Speaker 8 (02:41):
I'm sorry that he lost his job though. Yeah, but
we're happy that you got it right, Yeah, but I
got it on the Yeah you did.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Here's the Saints season.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Are insiders there? Source is close to me?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Say, the Saints won their first game against Carolina forty seven.
They smoked Dallas forty four to nineteen. Since then, they've
lost one, two, three, four, six, seven games in a
row and ugly ones too, with ten points eight points,
including got lost to Carolina.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yep, I'm watching that game, and you know, he got Kamara,
you got car you got a Lamve, you got Taysom Hill.
I mean, you got all these guys, and then Carolina
is hanging in there, and uh, I could see where
that could cost you after how many losses in a
rown six seven, seven?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Wow? Wow?

Speaker 10 (03:34):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 11 (03:35):
Mark Derek Carr wars our septem VP, that's what he
was definitely on well two weeks.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
After two weeks he was one of the front runners
for septem VP.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
I hope he keeps that on her.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, keep that trophy.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Coming up, we'll give you our best and worst of
the weekend. Tony Gonzalez the Hall of Famer with UH
Amazon Prime Thursday nights. We'll join us as well. Full
slate of NBA coming up tonight. Recapping over the weekend.
You know the Lions, that offense is great. The defense
they don't have a pass rush without Aiden Hutchinson, but

(04:13):
the defense is ranked. That probably has to do with
how good it was earlier in the season. But they
roll the Packers and the weather not good Bills. They
got by the Dolphins, the Ravens roll. Eagles have won
four in a row. They got the Cowboys coming up
this next weekend. Bear's got rolled Falcons over the Cowboys.

(04:36):
Commanders have won three straight. It's this is where you
have enough of a sample size where you go I
kind of figure out who this team is. Here's Dan Campbell,
the Lions head coach.

Speaker 12 (04:49):
But I know this, I'm not shocked one bit that
we came out of here and played pretty good football
out in the elements. I just were built for this man,
and it doesn't matter. And just because we play indoors,
it doesn't matter. We can play anywhere. We can play
in the snow and play in the rain, play in
the mud. That's just us and we're built to win.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna believe him if I'm in
the locker room and he tells me that before we
go out where it's raining, you know, not good conditions
at Lambeau. Sure we're gonna win. Jared Goff is on
a burner right now. He's completed eighty almost eighty three
percent of his passes over the last six games. That
is the best for any quarterback over any six games

(05:30):
span in NFL history.

Speaker 13 (05:34):
STATU the day, stat of the day, stat of the day,
stat of the day, A stat of the day, Stata
the day, start of the day Stata.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Braunchy by Panini America was that the Lions first game
outdoors this season.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
They were at the Cardinals. That's inside at the Cowboys
earlier this year. That's inside at the Vikings insight. Yeah,
and that's it. Everyone else has been home.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
By the way, it was a couple of weeks ago
when I came in on a Monday and I had
spoken to somebody affiliated with the Rams and I said, hey,
you know, if you guys lose on Thursday night, and
you know, I kind of laid out the framework here
of if you lose, are you going to be a seller?
That's when we heard about Cooper Cup being available. Teams

(06:22):
inquired about that. They win that game. They won again.
Cooper Cup had eleven catches for one hundred and four yards,
so he has six hundred and one receptions in ninety
six games. That's tied with Keenan Allen and Antonio Brown
for the fastest to six hundred receptions in NFL history.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
Ooh, cow, stall of a day, stant of a day?
Start outa day, scant outa day. This is the start
of the.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Day, and he's missed a lot of time. He could
have that record. He could have blown right by these guys.
But eleven catches. If you have pukin Nakua, as long
as he's not trying to smack somebody in the face,
you got Stafford and you got Cooper Cup. You can

(07:14):
stay in any game. Seattle's frustrating. It's not you know,
the Legion of Boom. It's not a great defense. But
there's something missing there, you know, Gino man, he was
a good story. Not necessarily now, I'd probably send DK
metcalf packing. I'd probably say, you know, let's see what

(07:38):
we can get for him. Have we seen his best work?
But Seattle, I thought, you know, home field advantage. Give
credit to the Rams, though, you know those are those
games that now you're in the mix. Now you're not selling,
maybe you're buying. The Chargers beat the Browns. The Jamis
Winston feel good story didn't last long. But uh, that

(08:02):
Charger defense has allowed twenty points or last in each
of its first eight games of a season. That doesn't
happen very often. Twenty nineteen Patriots did that. But you
know it's not a great offense. But uh, they have
their moments, though they have their moments there.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yes, Pauline, you're not suggesting we buy into the Chargers again,
are you, because.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You seem like, no, no, no, no, your first team all
buy in. I was, I can't be anymore. But if
you bail now though not, no, I'm bailing.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I bailed. I bailed. When did they break my heart? Well?
Every year so after last year.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
A bale or bail were playing hail to the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Baled y.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
I thought you would stick.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, no, no, no, I do. I thought they'd be
a playoff team. But I can't get my hopes up.
Now I've done that before. IM not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I've learned. It took me a long time.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
They just beat the powerhouses that are the Saints in
the Browns.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I know, I know, and it's easy to jump on
that bandwagon. Yes, Marvin, these aren't your dad's Chargers.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
Well what I'm just saying the Chargers are a sneaky
great team, A sneaky great team, okay, a sneaky really
good team between good. I think they're a sneaky good team.
I think they're sneaky really good.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
M oh well, I thought they'd run the ball, and
I thought they'd played good defense. And that's a formula
that Jim Harball has had throughout his coaching.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Slang in it too, though, I don't know if they're
slanging slanging it.

Speaker 8 (09:38):
Yeah, they're sneaky good that you have a pie to
the face.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
What let's try to say.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
I mean, you said they're good and then you went
which the old feeling sound like they're very good.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
No I'm not on their bandwagon, No, No, I'm just
they're kind of blah with their offense. Okay, But they
need a receiver at the trade deadline, Yes, they could
use one. I saw where maybe they could ask for
Mike Williams back from the Jets.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Hey, you guys aren't using him. Can we have yes, Pauling?

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Do the Chargers have a quality win this year? They
beat the Raiders, the Panthers, the Broncos, the Saints, and the.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
Bron They are beating the teams they're supposed to be
and are competitive against the two What they lost to
what the Chiefs?

Speaker 4 (10:25):
They lost the Chiefs by a touchdown. They lost to
the Cardinals by two, and they lost the Steelers by
ten in September. But you know what, they could prove
themselves next week hosting the Titans.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Wow, another quality win. Yes, Todd had a.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Jim Harbough coach team.

Speaker 14 (10:41):
Maybe they're less likely to slip on the banana peel
like previous Charger teams. So down to the last few weeks.
Maybe they pull out games in the past that they would.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Are you in or out on the Chargers?

Speaker 14 (10:51):
Ultimately I am out on the Chargers, But I think
because he just said, well, I'm not.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Making any bold predictions about how far they're gonna go.
I just think that there are a couple of games
where you go there.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Out was the question that was it? Okay, you know,
how do you play the game? It's in or out?
I like to put cavity either No, we don't cavey
on it. Marvin in or out?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Chargers in to do what?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's just called in or out. How about playoff appearance
in Okay, Seaton, Oh, you're in.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
I am in Los Angeles Chargers of Anaheim.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Is there a sneaky very good team? I am.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
They are sneaky very good. Yeah, Paulie in or out?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
I am in next year, next year? Yeah, I'm the Charger.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm in on the Chargers making the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
You were just out.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, I'm not on their bandwagon. Big picture. I had
them going to the super Bowl a couple of years ago.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Different team.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh it was a different team.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Now you're simultaneously in and out.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm I'm in on them making the playoffs, but nothing
after that.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yes, smart, so you're in, but you're not in in.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I'm not in it. Oh I'm out of Okay?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well what constitutes in in? That would mean that I'm
win a playoff titled? Well, okay, Yeah, they're they're gonna
win a playoff game, at least at least them in Okay.

Speaker 7 (12:15):
Is that enough of being in in that I think
they'll win a playoff game.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Sure, that's fine, this helps their cause.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
How about this, you get electrocuted if they I do
chargers because it's a bolt. How about instead of a
piet of the face, we dial it up. How about
we tase one another.

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Have you ever seen video of people tasing each other?

Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, I've seen people getting tased.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Yeah, no, that's awful. But when you watch people do it.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
Like on a dare and they're like, hey, all right,
it's kind of it's hilarious at how awful it is
because people drastically underestimated.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oh it's like when I see that slap fighting and
you could see somebody settling in and then they get
smacked and all of a sudden, you can see the
reality leaving them. They get the reality knocked out of them,
and you're like, oh my god, did that hurt. But
the tasing thing, you think, it's like you get like
just a little a dog dog collar shots. I've done

(13:16):
that before with my dog where we have a you know,
canine fence, and you walk out to see if it works,
and all of a sudden, yeah, I would never run
through that fence. My dog has though chasing a coyote.
Oh really, Oh, yeah, chasing a coyote. Oh my god,
she just took off. She bit the bullet. You could

(13:38):
hear go and then boom, she was gone.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Like an actual word.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah. Ouch, yes, yes, Paulin.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Just to put a bow on it. With the Chargers,
they finished the season with the Broncos, Patriots, and Raiders.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
They not playing anybody except for the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
They have a winnable of December.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Super Bowl. Still no still room.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Now I'm in. I'm in on them making the plaffs.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
I'm in.

Speaker 7 (14:07):
Come on, Los Angeles. I can't hear you.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
I can't hear you.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Make some noise.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Come on, uh let me take a break here. We
have our best and worst of the weekend coming on,
and we'll hear from James Franklin, the Penn State and
coach on his team's performances in big games. Uh so
we'll get to more phone calls as well. Back after

(14:34):
this Dan Patrick show. 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. We will give you
our best and worst of the weekend. Did watch a
lot of the Ohio State against Penn State, and I

(14:56):
wasn't surprised. Penn State play calling questionable. They feel like
they're a good quality team, but I don't know if
they're ever going to be a great team. Again, you're
kind of on the periphery of being a contender now,
you know, maybe they make the playoffs, maybe they do

(15:16):
some damage once they get there. Ohio States defense came
up big in that game. Here is James Franklin, Penn
State's head coach.

Speaker 15 (15:25):
You can't control the outside, But as far as yourself
and evaluating yourself in these big game performances, how do
you do that?

Speaker 7 (15:31):
What significance do you put on a game like today?

Speaker 15 (15:34):
Yeah, you know, again, there's nobody that's looking in the
mirror harder than I am. I will say this, and
I've said it before, ninety nine percent of the programs
across college football would die to do what we've been
able to do in our time here.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
And that's we, that's all of us.

Speaker 15 (15:51):
But I also understand when you're at a place like
Penn State, there's really really high expectations. When you're at
place like Ohio State, there's really really high expects dictations.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
I totally get it.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, the offense is going to take the blame here
when you get three points with three trips in the
red zone three of eleven on third downs. They don't
have difference makers there, at least it certainly seems that way.
Franklin has a terrible record against top ten teams at home,
top five teams, in particular, the record against Ohio State.

(16:27):
Penn State has beaten Ohio State just once in eleven tries.
This is what it comes down to. If you want
to play with the big boys. Michigan and Ohio State
seasons were always they measured against each other. What did
you do against one another? That's your season, Penn State,
you got to get to that. It's not a rivalry.

(16:49):
This is like the Red Sox and the Yankees, you know,
prior to you know, two thousand and three, two thousand
and four.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
You got to win for it to be a rivalry.
It's not.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And that's a game you gotta win. It's at home.
You got to win that game. But Ohio State, that's
a big win for Ryan Day. All right, let's go
around the room. Best and worst of the weekend. I
came in today and PAULI goes, you know who the
least relevant team in the NFL is, and I go,
all right, let me guess Carolina. He goes, No, I

(17:21):
go the Saints, no least relevant team.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
The Dallas Cowboys are the least relevant team.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, explain that.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Okay, despite what analytics and other TV shows do with
the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
In overcover, it's called clicks.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, and that's a waste of everyone's time. They are
three and five. They're not a competitive team for this season.
They should not be talked about as a possible playoff team.
They cannot get by the Eagles of the Commanders. Okay,
that's step one that makes them not relevant. They're not
even in play for this season at this point, right.
They're getting worse by the week. Okay, they're always relevant. Well,
whether they're winning or losing, they're always relevant. Agree, They're

(18:00):
not good. They're not threatening. They also have their quarterback
and wide receiver under contract for the next three plus years,
so nothing's changing at the key positions. They're ownership group
one person. He's not going anywhere and he usually sticks
with his coach, so nothing's changing there. There's no developments
on the horizon. There's no improvement on the horizon, and

(18:22):
there's no threat for them to be a good team
this year. They're not even bad enough to be interesting.
Like the New Orleans Saints are more interesting from the
standpoint of at least in the off season. They can
get a new quarterback if they keep these.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, but they're not interesting now, just.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Like the Cowboys. I'm interesting now.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
The Cowboys are interesting because you got the Dak situation.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
But I don't think there's a situation because of his contract.
If they did, if they like in August, I said,
don't sign him, and they shouldn't have and everyone said
sign them signed and sign them sign him.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
No, I said, I wouldn't sign him, not for that money.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
It seemed like a lot of people critique them for
not getting him signed before the start.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yes, I said, if you're gonna sign him, signing where
you can save you money, you can get Derrick Henry.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
So now they're going to miss the playoffs and have
their quarterback for one hundred and fifty million for the
next three years. That's not changing. You're not neither tradable
nor cuttable.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Who's a better quarterback Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 7 (19:16):
Come on, that's an insul an insult to somebody in
that list.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
But I'm not sure who.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, who would you rather have?

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Well, I can't do that because of the age, but
let this season you want Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 9 (19:30):
Right.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Is Kirk Cousins a better quarterback than Dak Press?

Speaker 16 (19:33):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
And I'm not saying this for clicks. I'm I truly
believe Kirk Cousins has performed better.

Speaker 17 (19:41):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I don't know about Dak was an MVP candidate and
I don't know if Kirk Cousins has ever been an
MVP candidate.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yes, the Dallas Cowboys have been outscored this year by
fifty four points. I mean that puts them in a
pretty bad category. For example, the Jaguars have been outscored
by fifty seven points.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I think the how Boys are relevant because they have
all this money tied up in these players. They haven't
even paid Micah Parsons, Like, I don't even know how
they're going to be able to pull this off. You're
going to have a couple of shiny objects and then
you're going to have practice squad guys.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
It feels like. But if they get the defense healthy.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
If the players come back who have been injured, now
you might have an opportunity here, and maybe you're just
going to be spoiler. But do I think they're the
least relevant team.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
No, I'm being partially facetious about what I'm saying, though,
is when there's nothing in the horizon of change for
a team not changing ownership, coach or quarterback in the
next calendar year.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Probably, and so they're going to change the coach.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
I'd bet against it, okay, by based off Jerry Jones's
history of being overly loyal, which is weirdly a good thing.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
But it's costume. Yes, it's costume. Dearly being loyal. You
admire it with the state instead of being a good businessman. Well,
first of all, hire the right guy. Hire the guy
who feels like he's empowered.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Well, he has to unhire himself and then hire the
right guy y, which is impossible.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
That would be a great press conference that Jerry is
going to fire himself at the press conference and then
bring in somebody else.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
If he wants to get the fans back on this side.
He hires the best, most expensive general manager in football.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But here's the problem. Those fans are so loyal. They're
like shyan irving. They're locked in. They have no place
to go.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
You're in a restaurant, you're in a town with one restaurant.
If you're a Cowboys fan, there's no changings where you're going.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Well, they've added some things to the menu. They should
have taken some things away from the menu, but.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
They've committed to their menu for the next five years.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Let's put it there at least three yes, yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Again I would people see.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
The thing is is duke basketball is always.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Relevant, but they don't. They rarely stink.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
But if they do, then there's a poortion of America
who hates that that they love that the Yankees always
going to be relevant, good or bad.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
They're relevant. They're notre name football, good or bad. They're relevant.
There's just certain teams that that's you either root for
them or against them.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
I guess what I'm saying is they're they're coverage and
this is as obvious as it gets. Their coverage does
not in anywhere match their relevancy.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I'm right there with you. It's like the Lakers. They
get more coverage than anybody else.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
But you know, the Lakers say which one about the
bubble in the past five years, they have a title.
I mean they were they got to the highest of
heights in the past five years. The Cowboys their last
Super Bowl appearance is the last one they won?

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Was that twenty nine years ago?

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Thirty years ninety five, ninety six?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, okay, that's you.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Know, there's people in this building who weren't alive when
they were in a Super Bowl, a number of them.
You know, the Lakers have won in the past twenty years,
three titles, maybe right, I think that sounds right. So
that's what I'm saying, is that they're so far from
being actually relevant in football things. It doesn't match the coverage.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
But the reason why the coverage is what it is
because of the fan bases here. The coverage is skewed
to let's only talk about the biggest fan bases. Therefore,
when you're clicking through and you see First Take or
Get Up or any of these other shows and the
topic bar has to do with Cowboys, chances are you'll
click on that and instead, if I was talking about

(23:26):
the Saints, you would be like, I'm not going to
stick with this.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
And am I being a hypocrite by doing this segment
right now, by doing ten minutes on the Cowboys on
a football my day? Am I being a hypocrite to
exactly my point?

Speaker 8 (23:38):
It is awkward when and this would be our second
segment in as many weeks of talking about the over
coverage of a team that doesn't deserve the coverage.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Right, you're talking about the coverage. Yes, I'm discussing the coverage,
not the team. By discussing the team's relevancy, I'm critiquing
the coverage.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
But you have to critique the coverage, yes, to then
you know you're talking about is this team relevant? Cowboys irrelevant?
But you know this is a default topic. All els fails.
There's certainly three or four topics you can talk about
every single day, doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know, I don't understand this of the fan bases.
The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to have a large fan base.
I think that's very fair. They're not getting enough coverage.
It's six and two with two decent quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
There's nothing what's interesting.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
I think their quarterback situation is fascinating that it's.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, but they've already it's Russ.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
If Russ didn't play well, now it's interesting Mike Tomlin
doesn't give you anything.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
I think everyone expected Russ to play poorly and him
playing above average, like B level football is not interesting
because it doesn't match the desire for him to fan.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Why aren't the Eagles talked about more? He gets right
of the ship.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Well, okay, then why aren't we talking about that? Yeah,
and you've got a coach who was on the hot seat.
Quarterback didn't get along with him. Expectations were really high
and then all of a sudden they weren't. And now
they're winning and they feel like they're like the second
best team in the NFC right now.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yes, Mark.

Speaker 11 (25:10):
Going back to the Steelers, I think the thing is
they're not polarizing like the Cowboys are. There's nobody that
really says like Gus doesn't say when Pittsburgh loses, America wins.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
But that polarization is forced. Dak Prescott's not that interesting
of a guy. He seems like a nice verson.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, the reason why the Cowboys are polarizing is because
they're overcovered. Yeah great, and then you're like, oh, god,
Duke is overcovered nobody.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well I shouldn't say nobody. People don't hate the Cowboys.
They transfer the hatred of hatred, hatred of the over coverage,
to hating the team.

Speaker 14 (25:39):
Yes, Ton beyond the fan base, I think to a
certain extent, especially for the average fan, we all get
brainwashed to a certain extent, whether it's a certain game
we should be watching because their broadcaster was assigned to it.
Where they're talking about someone or something a lot, they
must be important. I guess that's an important team we're
player to follow.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Let's go around the room. Best and worst of the weekend. Marvin,
I'm gonna start with you.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
Oh, thank you did.

Speaker 11 (26:00):
Best of the weekend eight Jordan Watkins, Old Miss wide receiver,
eight receptions, two hundred and fifty four yards, five touchdowns.
Let's go fighting, Jackson Darts all right, worst of the weekend.
I know they won. But Carson Beck three interceptions against Florida.
This is his third game this season with three interceptions.

(26:21):
No Blano, I, well.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I haven't been a fan. I don't see him as
a first round pick. Nothing personal. I just watch and
I just don't see him. And he might be like
an AJ mccherron, where you're the quarterback of a really
good team. I mean AJ mcchaerron. I think is last
year in Alabama had thirty touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
You would be a first round pick.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
You would think he wasn't Todd Best and worst of
the weekend, Best of the weekend.

Speaker 14 (26:51):
SMU's impressive win at home over pick sophomore quarterback Kevin
Jennings stroves over three hundred yards and two two senior
running back for Sharts rushes for one hundred and sixty
one yards.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Two ts. Mustang's now eating one.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
This is way worse than the eye situation. Did you
know Pallie was talking about s CMU this morning.

Speaker 14 (27:09):
I know why I would not pick SMU's best the
week and if I thought that's what he had of
all the things that happened in the world of.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
Sports, Yeah, I think I'm gonna stick up for Todd here.
I think we're gonna have to cap the amount of
teams and things that Paul's allowed to call.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
No, I can't.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
You can't do it at this job.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
There isn't a single team that's had a good weekend
from weekend to weekend that he didn't grow up a
massive fan of.

Speaker 17 (27:30):
We can't.

Speaker 7 (27:30):
We can't. You can't call every college football team like that.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
I grew up loving I had an Eric Dickerson sm
are you cat what?

Speaker 3 (27:37):
They were my favorite team growing up.

Speaker 8 (27:39):
I was a massive Alabama fan in Michigan and Michigan State.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Basketball.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Was like, I'm I can't talk about them.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
I'm like b John Robinson. My grandfather was like, you know,
you can't.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
You can't call every team and be like that was
my team, all right, Todd.

Speaker 14 (27:55):
My worst of the weekend, just when we thought Clemson
might be back, Dad was team loses by double digits
at home to Louisville thirty three to twenty one.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
Tigers were down nineteen at two different points in that game.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
They were creeping in and then all of a sudden
they slithered out.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Seating best and worst of the weekend.

Speaker 8 (28:13):
My best of the weekend. I'm gonna stick with another
team in LA. I'm gonna say the Rams. But best
of the weekend Los Angeles Rams. Just a couple of
weeks ago they were one and four, another four and four.
They've won three in a row. They're getting healthier. Yeah,
they're trending up wards. Pooka's back, even though he got
ejected from the game for punching somebody. Not the best
look Cooper's back.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
They're turning things around. Okay, they're turning things around.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
I like that.

Speaker 8 (28:37):
My worst of the weekend is the Saints. They outa
This is a tweet from Bill Barnwell. The Saints outgained
the Panthers by one hundred and fifty yards. They ran
for over one hundred and fifty yards, they won the
turnover battle. In the last twenty years, teams had gone
two hundred and seventy five and zero with that formula,

(28:58):
and after this weekend that's now two one hundred and
seventy five and one. Because the Saints lost to the
Panthers despite those numbers.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
That is just brutal. Yeah, last team to do that
the three Broncos. You rush for at least one hundred
and fifty yards, you out gain your opponent by at
least one hundred and fifty yards, you win the turnover
battle and still lose, and your coach gets fired. Today
the Giants lost at home. They are zero to five
at home. Yay, congratulations, Paul. Best and worst of the weekend.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
I'll go worst. First. Kansas State was sitting at seven
to one and they lost to a three and five
Houston team in a close game. Kansas State can't afford
that loss. Best of the Weekend cam Ward of Miami.
He is He's got twenty nine touchdowns and six interceptions
and he hasn't played a game in November yet those
are I think he's breaking all the records down at Miami.
This kid started it incarnate word four years ago. He

(29:53):
was a freshman of the Year in wond DOUABLEAFCS Washington State,
and now at Miami. He's so hot right now. He's
in danger of being the first quarterback picked and the
Heisman Trophy winner. In danger, like where I think it's
going that direction. It's a great thing, but I could
see him doing the double.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
How is it? I mean he's in danger.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
I'm joking about it. So I think he has a
good chance to be both the Heisman winner and the
first quarterback.

Speaker 7 (30:18):
Picked, Okay, which is a very dangerous situation.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah for others.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the joke of
cam Ward in danger of being the first overall pick
in Iman Trophy.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Ye, let's put it. He has a good chance of
being the first quarterback picked and winning the Heisman. If
you know what I mean, Cam Danger War that's his nickname.
The middle name is Danger.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Okay, Uh, should we take a break here because I
know coming up we have hero or Zero, we have
Tony Gonzalez going to join us as well.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Take a break, Yeah, Todd, what do you think?

Speaker 14 (30:59):
I think it's a good time for a break your show,
do whatever, Hedy's some time for the next setting, may care?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, take a break back after this.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Quincy Jones one of the.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Rare musical people that you can label a genius and
mean it because he did everything producing, composing, help with
Michael Jackson, with a well the Thriller, biggest album of
all time, just arrangements, everything that he did. He was
a brilliant, brilliant composer, worked with Sinatra, Michael Jackson. But

(31:50):
I think he passed away at the age of ninety one.
I think he won twenty twenty eight Grammys something like that. Yeah,
it's kind of like Bob Costas of composing, Michael Phelps
of you know, composing, all right, some phone calls here.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
The Saints have fired Dennis Allen.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
That happened about forty five minutes ago after they lost
their seventh consecutive game. Remember they had the two games
where they scored over forty points and we're like, hey,
maybe they got something here, and we realized that they
don't have something here. And then you lose to Carolina
and you've lost seven in a row, and Dennis Allen
done with the Saints. Let's see how about Jamie in La. Hi, Jamie,

(32:35):
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 16 (32:38):
How you doing?

Speaker 17 (32:38):
Dan?

Speaker 18 (32:38):
Thanks for taking my call? Five or eleven A soft
two twenty soft A quick confession. I was out a
couple of days last week being sick, so I put
you on the Pea Peacock channel. My wife was kind
of staring, like, hey, who is this guy? Kind of

(33:00):
explained who you were, and he goes, oh, really nice guy,
like his hair, like the eyes, And I'm like, well,
I mean you have Shay Shay's wife in competition with
my wife.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Oh okay, fighting for you're right, so and then you
got to put my wife in there too that since
I am married.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
But thank you, Jamie.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah, one person at a time. That's what we do.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
We build this fan base one person at a time,
and if I have to sex it up a little bit,
I'll do it. I'll do it for the audience.

Speaker 15 (33:33):
You're not shy.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Uh Al in Atlanta, Hey, congratulations Al.

Speaker 16 (33:42):
Good morning Dan. Best of the weekend. I can't believe
I'm gonna say this, but the South Carolina game Cocks
putting the beat down in Texas A and m allowing
for Joyor to ascend to its rightful possion at the
top of the SEC standings. And then worse of the weekend,
More like worse of the week because last week, when
I called in to talk about Fat Joe at the

(34:04):
World Series, I had got some pushback from a fellow
caller who was thinking I was denigrating Fat Joe. I
was not.

Speaker 19 (34:14):
I was just saying a bad choice of words or
a bad choice of songs by New York and Fat Joe.
But I mean, it's not like Fat Joe as much
to pick from. So I just wanted to apologize to
snow from.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Wherever, okay, And I didn't know that there was some
blowback there on making fun of Fat Joe singing at
Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Yes, morv there was some lean back.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Oh, I like to see what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Lean back everybody. That was a song by Fat Joe. Yes,
we got to call him Big Bone Joe. Now, how
sensitive do we need to be towards Fat Joe moving forward?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Husky Joe?

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Husky Joe?

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Is that better than just say, ladies.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
And gentlemen, please welcome. Husky Joe is an Alaskan rapper.
I BM I Hi Joe, Big Big on the Idea. Yeah,
that's his favorite song.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Thank you all.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Good to talk to you. Tom in Rochester, Hi, Tom,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (35:08):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (35:08):
Dan and the ets?

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Anyway?

Speaker 9 (35:13):
Five nine one sixty five and I'm gonna go with
the Barkley bounce or the Saquon moon shot.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Okay, you know we were trying to come up with
a name.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I said, the bark leap with what he did, the
backward whatever he was doing, whatever you went hurdle.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
But that was impressive.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
But just just to think about these things that that's
what I'm always I'm amazed when you see athletes who
think something you don't even or they try to do it,
or they do it you don't even think about it.
I always go back to the quote that Pete Sampras,
the great tennis player said to me. He said, Roger
Federer is doing things that I would think of doing.

(36:01):
So his creativity on the court, the tennis court, he said,
he's he's attempting things, doing things I wouldn't think about doing.
There's just certain athletes where you go. How did he
think of that? In the moment and the reaction? Time
Will in Louisville, Hey, Will, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 20 (36:22):
First time long time six ' four two fifty two
bests got to go down to Atlanta and watch the
Cowboys get beat with my dad and little brother and
my Louisville Cardinals went down to Clinton at the first
program win in the history against Clinton.

Speaker 16 (36:39):
And it was good to see it.

Speaker 20 (36:40):
In Death Valley And a quick sequon Barkley comments. You
said the bark leaf. Why not just shorten that for bleep?
Because when I saw it, I thought.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
All right, thank you Will, thanks for calling. Eight seven
seven three DP show Vincent Austin, Hi, Vince, what's on
your mind?

Speaker 17 (37:01):
Hey guys?

Speaker 10 (37:02):
Good morning, Happy Monday. Hey, the person who had it
worse the weekend, I think a seating. Hey Seaton, you're
a voodoo doll here, looks like it's got the chicken pox.
I can see a doctor if you and Fritzie, I
appreciate you letting me give me advice to keep Lamara
Jackson in my fantasy team. My other quarterback is Baker Mayfield.

(37:24):
They played tonight and I'm not going anywhere near anywhere
near that.

Speaker 21 (37:28):
And guys, last week some JABRONI from New York revising
me because I said the I'm glad the Yankees lost
to the Dodgers. Were in the Astros. But remember Cashman
was on the radio day before the series started, still
talking about the Astros. Dude, that was twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Get over it, all right, that's Vince Vince who has
a voodoo doll of Seaton that apparently he's been stabbing recently.
Not sure that you are going to get the chicken
punks or something. James in Virginia.

Speaker 17 (38:09):
Taking this take of my call brother Happy Monday, dpdren
promote the Commander won't get to them, man, But I
gotta shout out the Arizona Cardinals. Man. I've been riding
them all year, winners of three in a row, five
and four, leading the NFC West. Really like what they're doing.
The Detroit Lions also man expressing their dominance on the NFL. Man,

(38:30):
they look like the team to beat right now. The
Baltimore Ravens as well known, Derrick Henry is a beast man.
But how about the Washington Commander seven and two, first
place in the NFC East. It is crazy to see
second three game winning streak of the season. Can they
go before? I called a couple of weeks ago, I

(38:53):
said they had three in a row that they could win.
They pulled it out. Chicago was a tough game. But man,
the schedule Witch Daunte, Pittsburgh, Philly, Dallas or the next three.
We really don't see what the Commanders can bring. But
I love what they're doing. Then, controlling games, winning on defense,
and making plays at the quarterback is what is.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
A great season for you, James, Like, let's look at
the end of this year, like what will be a
great season.

Speaker 17 (39:24):
I think they're at a great season right now, if
I'm gonna be honest with you, First time seven and
two since nineteen ninety six, first time like this is
a lot of first this year so far with a
rookie quarterback. I mean, as long as they continue to
finish strong. I was telling Tyler, if they go four
and four the rest of the way, they're an eleven
win team if they can find a way to win one,

(39:47):
maybe two playoff games. I mean, but for me right now,
this is a great season already. Man. They're playing with
house money, no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
All right, Well, Hail to the Commanders, Thank you, James.
I don't know if anybody's had a better month than
James has because being a Washington fan, there's been a
long dry spell and you're seven and two and you
have hope, you have a quarterback, Like that's where it starts,
when you go, we got our quarterback, Like even a

(40:18):
Patriot fan, not a good team, but you got your quarterback, Drake.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Make him play, yes, Mark.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
February is usually his month.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
No, it's not all a deep cut wow.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Final hour on the way Tony Gonzalez Hall of Famer
will stop by Buccaneers and the Chiefs coming up later
on tonight.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Final hour after this
