Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two on this Tuesday. I don't know if the Dan
answer being honest with me, it feels like morale is high.
But I don't know if they're faking their morale. No body, no,
I don't know. I just it felt like it was
a little bit over the top. Why would that be
an issue? Now, Dan? Yes, Tom?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Why would we be faking morale? It's the holidays, Thanksgivings
coming up, We're all in good spirits that there should
be no faking of it. Everyone should be in a
very relaxed, happy mood.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Okay, all right, I'm just I'm not quite sure. It
just felt like it was over the top and maybe
wasn't real, and we do deal with real things.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I think this is genuine happiness and feeling.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But is it happiness because you're off tomorrow? I?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, there's a flap.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Tom, Satan's standing ovay, Toad, do you know what you
earned that day off?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You enjoy it? Thank you enjoy every second of it. Okay?
But are we is morale high because Todd is off tomorrow?
Awesomele Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Assessment?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All right? Well, Todd's hears seat, and here Marv Paul
ears truly in the back room. Guys, take advantage of
the calendars. They're available at Danpatrick dot com autograph non
autograph calendars and check out the Tailgate Moonshine Store autograph
calendar with select Tailgate purchases while supplies. Last stat of
the Day brought to you by Penni America, the official
(01:32):
trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. All right, we'll
get to your phone calls coming up. Chris Collinsworth will
join us fresh off is five hundredth NFL broadcast. Reggie
Miller will stop by in the final hour of the program.
The Niners keep it going. I did ask the question
are they good? Are they threatening? Are they relevant? And
(01:55):
I would say are they good? Yes? Are they relevant? Yes?
You got Chris to McCaffrey. Are they threatening? And I
would say no. Even though they have eight wins, they're
in a tough division. I think they're the third best
team in that division. They've had injuries, a bad investment
with Brandon Ayuk. I think they just decided that they're
(02:17):
not going to pick up his contract or the option
for next year already. Then he get thirty million dollars
a year. Weren't the Steelers interested in Brandon ayuk Man
because they don't have They got George Kittle, they got Jennings,
but they used to have some elite wide receivers debos
(02:38):
in Washington. You got McCaffrey, and McCaffrey's not going to
give you those one hundred and thirty yard games as
far as rushing, but he's going to give you eighty
rushing and he's going to give you sixty receiving. He's
going to probably end up doing one thousand yards rushing
one thousand yards receiving. But you start to look they
have their two best defensive play and Fred Warner Bosa
(03:01):
is not there as well. Kyle Shanahan's done a really
good job. And then they survived. Now, granted you survived
because you're playing Carolina, but Carolina's a six win team
and brock perty throws three first half interceptions, but you
still end up winning that game. Carolina was non threatening.
The final score was twenty to nine. So San Francisco's
(03:23):
eight and four and Carolina is six and six. There's
so many teams still in the playoff picture. But this
Cowboys Chiefs game on Thursday, the ramifications of it. Just
imagine if the Cowboys win that game. So that cowboy
bandwagon that's picking up a lot of steam and a
lot of passengers here, and all of a sudden, they're
(03:45):
going to get closer and closer and put some heat
on somebody maybe in that last week or last two
weeks of the regular season, that they might sneak sneak
in and then they would be a dangerous out because
they're playing defense. That offense is really good. The Chiefs.
If the Chiefs would lose that game, now all of
a sudden they need help. But if they win that game,
(04:10):
the boost that the Chiefs would get that they beat
a good cowboy team in Dallas on a short work week,
that's all you know. Once again, everybody in the AFC
is probably upset with the Colts because the Colts did
a disservice to everybody. You're up twenty to nine, put
them away, because if you don't, I don't care what
Mahomes's numbers are. I don't know what his numbers are
(04:32):
this year. He is the most valuable player because he's
the one guy, the one quarterback that I have complete
confidence in that if you get him to the super Bowl.
He can win a super Bowl. I can't do that
with any other quarterback, and even Jalen Hurts, who has
been very impressive in super Bowls. That's the one guy. Now.
Is he the most valuable player during the regular season, No,
(04:54):
because his numbers aren't great. But if you put him
in a postseason, he's the one guy that team where
you go. I don't care where they're going. They can
win those games on the road. But if you don't
kill them and they're still breathing and he's still there quarterback,
he still can go to the super Bowl, which is
pretty amazing because I don't think the team is that good,
(05:17):
but I do think when they need to be good,
they're great. What is and I said, this will probably
be the highest rated regular season game in the history
of the NFL. Cowboys Chiefs Thanksgiving Day, Paula, do you
have a list of the top five games of all time? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Front Office Sports compile a list just six months ago.
There's a lot of Thanksgiving Day games involved in this list.
I'll give you the top five. December two, nineteen eighty five,
Monday Night Football Bears versus Dolphins, thirty nine million.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
People Okay, so the Bears were undefeated, right, and I
remember Marino had a couple of touchdown passes to end
the winning streak for the Bears and.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
They lost and fill in the Super Bowl Shuffle the
next day. That's cocky the fourth all time Thanksgiving Day
twenty twenty one, Raiders versus Cowboys forty one million. Thanksgiving
Day twenty twenty three, Cowboys versus Washington forty one and
a half million. December third, nineteen ninety nine, Thanksgiving Day
forty nine Ers versus Giants forty one and a half million.
(06:18):
The game was seven to three nine Ers and the
highest rated game all time. Regular season Thanksgiving Day November
twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, Cowboys Giants forty two point
two million.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think they're going to get to forty five million.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
The combination of Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Cowboys as effected and the Chiefs. Yeah, that's the killer.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Like Cowboys are in the top ten ranked games all time,
Cowboys are in seven of them.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, I mean, that's why the network scrambled hoping to
get Cowboy games, even you know, when they were losing
in the early part of the season, and I said
that people are still going to watch. It doesn't matter.
People will still watch. And now you get them relevant
and maybe picking up some speed, and now you have
people are gonna be tuning in. This is the conundrum
because you're gonna have people who don't like the Cowboys
(07:08):
but are gonna like the Cowboys if they beat the Chiefs.
You don't like the coverage of the Cowboys, And that's
what I always go back to. It's not the Cowboys,
it's the coverage of the Cowboys that I have a
problem with. You know, Dak is a good person, a
nice guy, likable guy. I don't have many issues with him.
I mean, Jerry's good content. He's entertaining that I don't.
(07:29):
It's not like I dislike the Cowboys. It's I dislike
the coverage of the Cowboys. And there's a big difference
in that. It's like Shoudear Sanders and the Browns. I
don't have anything against Shade or Sanders or the Browns.
I dislike the coverage of Chaudor Sanders in the Browns,
and Shaudor is gonna get the start against the forty
(07:49):
nine Ers.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the Cowboys beating the Eagles last week,
that definitely helped.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Old else. Oh thank you. I argue with that. Hell
with the height of this game, Oh absolutely no, it
doesn't matter. They're still tuning in. It doesn't The Cowboys
are always going to get people.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I think people are more interested because they just beat
the Eagles in the fashion he did.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Or no, no, no, no, they're still Yeah, it heightens it
a little bit, but it's still the Cowboys and the
Cowboys on Thanksgiving and Kansas City coming to town, where
you're going to be rooting, You're going to find people
rooting for the Cowboys only because they're facing the Chiefs
and they don't want to see Patrick Mahomes and the
Chiefs anymore. Do you realize, you know some of the
social media comments when the Chiefs were losing to the Colts,
(08:38):
like you had people saying they should get rid of
Andy Reid, Like you know, the game is passing by,
and I'm like, you are some spoiled, spoiled fans, got
a Hall of Fame coach, and all of a sudden,
the game is passing by. They're not a better team
than the Colts talent wise, but they won the game.
(09:00):
And I think that's sometimes we lose sight of that
it's like, we're not blowing people out anymore. No, those
Kansas City Chiefs, they're not coming back anytime soon. You're
grinding it out, just like just about every other NFL team. Yes,
Marvin spoiled.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I think you meant to say another word that starts
with S stupid.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh yes, wow, okay, I'm trying to guess. I was
just going, yeah, I was thinking stink, spoiled, sucker, Yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
If you want to see fun tweets, look at the
halftime tweets when Dallas was down twenty one zero to
the Eagle. Crushing embarrassing sales are more fair. Yes, saying
Andy Reid can't coach anymore is absurd. Saying the Cowboys
stink because they're down twenty one nothing on this crappy season,
that's not really a stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
A couple of phone calls in here Andrew and Washington.
Good morning, Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Good morning, Dan, Dennis.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I have a day late, best and worst. My best
would be that the Panthers were actually on Monday Night football.
I worse was that the Panthers were Underday Night Football.
I don't know how you don't win that game after
getting three first half interceptions. They definitely didn't look like
they were on the rise in that game. They just
look like they go up and they go down. It's
been a roller coaster season, hoping for the best for
(10:14):
the end. I also have a stat of the day.
You kind of took that one about Joker on becoming
the fastest to ten triple doubles in a season, but
also just to kind of give you an idea of
what he's doing compared to the rest of the NBA.
The NBA has five players that I've had fifteen plus
assist in a game. Joker has three games a fifteen
plus assist in the game just this season by himself.
(10:37):
I think when we get out of football season, we'll
look back and go, Wow, he's doing another historic season.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh he's the MVP. He's the best player in the game.
You can have Shay Gilgess, he's a wonderful player, deserving
of the MVP. That team is seventeen and one. There
is no better player in the NBA than Joker. Just
not night in night out. He's going to get you
a double. I mean, he's averaging a triple double and
(11:03):
it's really kind of just going through the Hey, I'm
just playing and it's not one of those men. Did
he have a knight? It's I even said, well he
only had seventeen points, but then like sixteen eleven rebounds.
It is he makes it look easy. It's not easy.
He makes it look easy. And please, if somebody says,
(11:25):
well there's any blade defense, look at his steals a
look at what he averages two steals a game. That's
usually what the league leader is around two steals a game.
And look at his rebounding, defensive rebounding. Oh you doesn't
get me rim protection? Okay, who takes it to the
(11:48):
rim anymore? Rim protection? Yes, marmon.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm just gonna feel bad if the thunderwin seventy five
games and he's not gonna win the MVP after putting
up another historic season.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't know if they would go seventy five and seven.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But if they win seventy games, okay, Shay, MVP.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well if you want to give it to him, I
mean they took one away from Joker with EMBIID. Don't
remind me. I mean that was a personal That's where
Kendrick Perkins make it made it personal like how can
we give him another MVP? Like, you know, only Larry
Bird and those kind of guys get this. He is
(12:33):
playing at such a high level like it's it's ridiculous.
How and Shay is a wonderful player, He's great, and
give him the MVP. I just don't think you should
go We're bored with Joker. Let's give it to somebody else.
And that happens, It really does. Yeah, Pauline, I've got
the list here.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Top twenty all time career NBA triple doubles. It's Russell
Westbrook with two oh five. But Jokic just catch him fast.
He's at one seventy four. He could probably pass him
this season or early next. Magic Johnson's fourth all time,
Lebron's fifth all time. Here's a couple of funny names.
Ben Simmons is fifteenth all time with thirty three triple
(13:15):
doubles in his career. He has two more than Michael
Jordan's Who would you have?
Speaker 9 (13:20):
Who?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Undergree?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Who would you rather have? Collie in Chicago? Hey Colly,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Hello?
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Mister Patrick gets Colley McCall in four to fifty pounds.
That didn't that didn't get the laugh. I was looking
for it. Todd, welcome to Welcome to your world. All right,
here he goes there once was a passle so odd
he wore out a curtain rod. No one ever goes
to Vegas, I'm certain, just to play with a curtain.
(13:50):
Nobody parties like Todd.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Thank you, Colling, well done. Collie mccaukin, Yeah, I know,
very nice. I know it was called back from me
making a mistake when I was in Vegas. McAuley calkin. Yeah,
that was a pretty creative limerick.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I'll give him that.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hmm. Really yeah. I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay, it's not could I win any awards or anything,
but it was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It was a serviceable limerick. You got one foot out
the door, you're going, I mean you do. I mean
you're not working tomorrow. You're out the door right like
your head somewhere else. Today.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'm pretty much at the airport.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
My body is here, and you're going, Uh, you're going
out of the country.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I'm going to Amsterdam to visit my daughter who's studying
abroad in Copenhagen, and she's going to meet us in Amsterdam.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I wanted to study abroad and they didn't want to
study that abroad. I remember my first two years in college,
I'd like to study abroad where Oh, right here on campus.
Oh I thought you meant out of the country. No, yes, Pauline,
Amsterdam's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
And one of the things that's obviously known for is
the thing that Fritzi would never participating.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's like Vegas.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
He's going to go to Vegas and not go out,
and he's going to Amsterdam and not partaken with them.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
And there's no way the curtains in the hotel is
going to be anything like the Fountain Blue.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Something I have to deal with that.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yes, Marmon, Wait, so you weren't doing damage and you
were getting bad grades.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I wasn't playing, and I wasn't getting any girls, and
I wasn't going to class. So you weren't playing and
you weren't I my first two years of college it
was dry. It sound like a great experience, it was.
It was not. Gotta admit. I had a coach who
(15:36):
didn't like me, I had girls who did not like me,
and I had classes that I did not like them.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah, sounds like a trifecta.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It was. It was embarrassing. Embarrassing, and looking back, I
get it. I get my coach hated me, and the
girls didn't like me either. But at least I had
a better college career than Todd did because I wasn't
at home with my mom, No doubt about no comeback
(16:05):
and offer that nobody. Mom, get out of the room.
We don't want cupcakes.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We had to have one foot on the floor for
visitation one day a week on a Sunday, and the
ra would come up and down the hallway and be like, hey,
gotta have one foot on the floor. Like that actually
happened my first two years of college, that you couldn't
have no feet on the floor and maybe be in
(16:32):
your bed.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Come on, I put feet on the floor, come on now.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I was there was nobody in my room, so
I didn't have to worry about that. They'd be like, hey,
you got one foot on the floor. No one else
is in here. It seems unnecessarily strict. How about we
take a break. Chris Collinsworth, he was a big deal

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Chris collins Worth, NBC Sunday Night football analyst and just completed,
celebrated his five hundredth career broadcast Sunday Night with the
Bucks and the Rams. On Thanksgiving Night, He's got the
Bengals and the Ravens. Joe Burrow is expected to start
a we'll kick off at eight twenty eastern on NBC
in Peacock. Before we get started, apparently you were listening
(17:58):
to my college conversation in my college days at Eastern
Kentucky for two years, and you would like to be
my therapist.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Go ahead, you know, just just a little bit. It
was interesting that, you know, you were in college and
it was the college rule. You know, it was one
foot on the ground you had to keep not too right.
If you had been a professional at that point. So
in today's nil world, I think you would have had
to have two feet on the ground in order to
(18:27):
you know, pass.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
How was your college, I mean you were a big deal. You're,
you know, big star at Florida.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
It's like everybody else's I think. I mean, you go
in there, you have no idea. My one son had
the best idea. Austin went to play at Notre Dame
and he said, you know, the most interesting part of
college is the first week. Like everybody's in a full
panic that they don't know anybody, they don't have any friends,
and they want to have friends. So he said, I
(18:58):
just came up with the idea. Yea, I was going
to go up to every hot girl on campus and go, look, hey,
we're all new. Here, here's my phone number. If you
need anything, they give it yours. It was like the
greatest scam of all time that he just had this
whole thing worked out in his brain and the rest
of us are like, Hi, Hi, I'm Fromsville, Florida. Yeah,
(19:21):
I want to be a doctor, but I probably will
never get there, so I'm hoping I can be a broadcast.
You know, Like, what do we were all doing? We
were all terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Wait, you wanted to be a doctor.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
I went through a year of like pre med and
it was you know, I could do fine in every
class except for the weeding out class was chemistry, and
I made like sees and pretty much understood at that
point that wasn't happening.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What are the chances Lane Kiffen goes to your alma mater.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
You know, I was watching that game when Florida was
playing Old miss and I was thinking, this is going
to be the most messed thing of all. Florida wants
Lane Kiffin, and now Florida's team's gonna beat Lane Kiffin
before it, and so now nobody's gonna want Lane Kiffin.
Like only Florida could come up with this scenario. I
(20:13):
don't know. I've I've heard little rumors on the outside
and they're thinking that, you know, Lane's going to give
them a discount for going to Florida and probably not
going to happen, and you know, there's always a few
things going on, so that, yeah, Florida's Florida's kind of
in neat, and you've got to say what Lane has
done at Ole Miss has been pretty remarkable. That's that's
(20:35):
pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
All right. So you got the Bengals coming up. Would
you be starting Joe Burrow if you were coaching the Bengals.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
It's so hard to know, you know, going in there,
I'm not doing the game on Thursday. Jason Garrett will
be doing that one. But it's it's it's difficult, right,
I mean, you've got a franchise quarterback here. You're not
in all likelihood going anywhere. But the part of that
is it's still possible, you know, I know, the percent
(21:06):
is like one percent that they do this. But they've
split with Pittsburgh and they have two games remaining with
the Ravens. So if they were to beat the Ravens
in both games, I mean, the leader in the division
six and five, you know, they're both six and five
and the Bengals have three wins, So you knock off
the Ravens twice. Who knows? Is that possible? It's possible.
It's a divisional game. You're still not out of the hunt.
(21:29):
But I have a feeling that Joe Burrow is kind
of that guy that it just kills him to not
be in the lineup with this guys. And we've already
heard a little bit of the rumblings from behind the scenes.
You know what it did for the defense that Joe
Burrow practiced all week last week that he's not given
up on the season and he wanted to play, and
(21:50):
it kind of gave a spark to the whole team.
So I'm assuming the doctors know what they're doing. Would
I do it on its face, No, there just doesn't
seem to be that big a reason to do it.
But it's Joe Burrow, and you know, God bless him,
he's competitive.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, you got the Ravens twice. You also have the
Dolphins and the Browns and the Cardinals. So you could
kind of catch lightning in a bottle here and maybe
make it interesting, putting some pressure on the Steelers. But like,
you can't bubble wrap him, Chris, like you're paying him
fifty million dollars to be your quarterback. You can't go, well,
we're not going to put him out there because the
(22:28):
games don't mean anything. You still have a fan base.
You got to play Kate as well.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You do. But the point of it, and only someone
who has lost too Super Bowls could say this, Honestly,
you only played to win a championship. That's it. It
doesn't do you any good to win a game, to
win a season, to have winning record, and we had
a ten and six season. We didn't get to go
to the playoffs. And when you know, everybody was always
(22:53):
crying about that. And but you know, nobody remembers anything
you did if you didn't win it all, they just don't.
I mean, I've never had anybody come up to me
and go, oh boy, I remember there's two AFC championship
games you guys played, and no they remember, Oh I
remember when Joe Montana beat you twice in the Super Bowl.
That's that's what they remember. And it's it's it's a
(23:17):
really you know, I wish I had one more chance
to do it. That is the funny part about it.
It's like it's like everybody wants to play to win
the whole thing, the whole thing, and when you don't,
it just doesn't matter. So if Joe Burrow playing this
year somehow hurts his chances of winning it all next year.
(23:40):
That's why I would think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Does it make it any easier that you did lose
to Joe Montana?
Speaker 7 (23:48):
No, you know, because really we go through. So I
do games in San Francisco all the time, and you
go through, and of course the Super Bowl trophies are
ut center when you're there. And they had five Super
Bowls and three of them were complete blowouts. They blew
out the competition, and two of them were close games
(24:09):
against us, So we definitely had a chance. We had
the first one. We were around twenty to nothing at
halftime and still had a chance to win the game
by the end of it. But yeah, it's uh yeah,
So this is your becoming my therapist. I was going
to be your therapist. Now you're becoming mine. I need
I need this.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, we're talking to Chris Collins, where just completed his
five hundred career game. It was Sunday night. More catches
in the NFL, or more games.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
That you called games that I called. I think it
was important.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You're close to five hundred receptions.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Weren't you were seventeen something. We had a couple of
strike years in there and yeah, so, I mean it
wasn't like nobody caught like you could always be around
the leading receiver. If you caught sixty to seventy passes
like that, those are the guys who were going to
the Pro Bowl back then. Now those are like fourth
(25:07):
string guys. You know. You know what the other part's funny.
I never had one. I can't remember a touchdown pass.
I'm sure I had one of under ten yards, you know.
I was watching DeVante Adams the other night and he
was like, quick slant, Jerry Rice would have one. I
(25:27):
never caught a wide receiver screen like the game is
just I never caught a back shoulder throw. Nobody even
invented a back shoulder throw at that time. I was like,
how stupid were we that we didn't think to have
somebody stop on a go route when he was in
position to be able to make the play. Nobody had
the bunch formations where you could get three receivers and
(25:48):
get them out of man to man coverage. I remember
playing the Raiders and then the Cleveland Browns with their
great cornerbacks that they had, and you just lined up
out wide and tried to get open fast and meanwhile,
they're blitzing their quarterback and getting after them. It's so
funny looking back on the game where it was and
where it is today and the answers that they have
(26:10):
in the passing game today. It's a wonder they ever
run the ball at all.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You're kind of whining here the Super Bowls. You're whining
about not being used correctly.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Yeah, but at least I didn't have to keep one foot.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
On the college. If the Cowboys beat the Chiefs, finish
that sentence.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
Pay attention. I don't think they're catching the Eagles. I
really don't. But when you have an offense like that, yeah,
pay attention. Because they did make some moves, right, they
made some moves to improve their defense that was really
pretty bad. And really the first game against the Eagles
wasn't that sort of it wasn't that bad a game.
(26:52):
That was the opening night. So the divisional opponents always
spend a ton of time working all the teams in
their division. So Dallas is the one team that division
should they sneak into the playoffs, and you go, you
know who are the favorite? Right now? You probably say
Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Rams are the two front runners.
(27:14):
And Dallas because they can score points. Could have a day,
could have a day against either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with
the Eagles, and they're probably still trying to figure out.
Does it come down to the offensive line Maybe isn't
as good as it's been in previous years.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
I think that's true. I do think that's true. But
they were great, you know, they were so far superior
than what they had been in the past. And the
other one that I mean, I talked about it on
the air the other night, but Jalen hurts. I think
to some extent they haven't completely opened up that offense.
(27:56):
And they're going to make the playoffs. There's no way
they're not going to make the playoff. And the goal
is to get to the playoffs and unleash the hounds
at that point. And so you think about when the
Eagles are great. In my opinion, Eagles are great when
they have not scrambles, which Jalen does, but designated run
(28:18):
plays with him. They run powers, they run read options,
they run various plays. That sets up the run game
because now you've got to leave the backside edge player
there because you know, he might hand it off, he
might run the other way off to the right. So
when you get those plays going, when you get those
(28:41):
runs going, even if it's just five per game, it
sets up Saquon Barkley to not have to have that
backside in You're going to have an extra safety come
down in the box to try and stop him from running.
And what happened last year was when Saquon got out,
it was against a single high safety and no single
(29:03):
safety ever tackled him. But now defenses are getting away
with two deep safeties being back there in the run
game and coming down and now they're able to tackle him.
And he's getting the ten to fifteen yard runs. He's
not getting the seventy yard runs. And the other part
of that is now you've got quarterback running, You've got
saque exploding with big plays, and now you're setting up
(29:26):
what aj Brown does best, which is play against man coverage.
AJ Brown with his in cuts, with his slants, with
his catch and run, he looks like a tank out
there on the field. Now you get those two things going,
which they had last year, and now you got aj going,
And now's the Dante Smith is you know the fourth
thing you got to stop, and so he gets man
(29:48):
coverage and he's catching the bomb. So I think when
they get to the playoffs, maybe I'm completely wrong, maybe
I'm completely out of my mind. I do think you're
going to see Jalen Hirch run on some of those
designator place mark to set up everything else.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Did Tom Brady reach out to you about how to
become an analyst?
Speaker 7 (30:06):
He did? Yeah, yeah, then you reach out to you.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
He did not, because I wouldn't have the firsthand knowledge
of that. I did talk to Drew Brees a little
bit about it, but that's you know, you're in the
studio and I said, it's so sterile there. You've got
to create excitement in the studio when you go to
the game that allows you to be as close to
the action as possibly playing. What did you tell Brady.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
To go to the studio? Honestly, it's exactly But it's
the same thing I told Peyton Manning, same thing I
told all of them. I said, you know, the studio
is something that what are you preparing for? You've got
like five or six different hits during the course of
the show. You know what you're going to talk about
going into it. You can research it easily. It's not
(30:54):
that big a deal. Now you do have to know
a little something about all the teams, but that's not
too bad when you go when you do the game
and you are starting from scratch every single week. I mean,
we did Washington a couple of weeks ago, but so
much has changed during the course of the last couple
of weeks. With that, now you got to go back
and I got to be able to study Marcus Mariodin.
(31:16):
I gotta because now he's taken over the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, but this is what Tom did on a weekly basis.
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Yeah, but here's what I tell him, and the same
thing I told peyon Man. I got to look, You're
used to getting ready for one side of the ball,
your offense against their defense. Now you have six sides
of the ball that you got to get ready for.
Now you got to get ready for the backup offensive tackle.
And who's the assistant weight coach, and who's the general
manager and what moves might they be making and blah
(31:44):
blah blah blah blah. And it's work. I mean. And
Tom God beloved him. That's what he said. He goes,
I love the work. I love the grind. I missed
the grind. I want to do that, And I go okay,
I said, now let me lay the last bit off you.
Now we've got You're used to playing eight road games
(32:05):
a year. You are now going to have twenty two
road games. You got twenty two straight road games. I
know you want to be around your kids. I know
you want to have some time, you want to do that.
But that's that's what it's about. When night we did
the pregame show, we would go in on Saturday. Now
I go in on Thursday night. So Thursday night to
Monday is your twenty two straight weeks life, if you're
(32:28):
ready for that. And Peyton, Peyton was He's the genius
of all geniuses. Somehow he went from he was going
to call games, just sitting in his basement with his
brother screwing around and getting Emmy awards like I have
no idea. He's the smartest human being I ever met
my life.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Okay, but did you.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Brady wanted it? He wanted it?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Did he try to talk him out of it and
tell him to do studio instead of going on the road.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Did I do that?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Did you try to?
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yes? Every one of them have called me. I go,
I go, look, just bear with me. I'm going to
try and talk you out of what you're talking about here,
and and I give them the same I give them
all the same spiel, every single one. I'm because I
know why I'm coming back to me going, oh man,
my life was ruined. I'm living on the road. You know,
(33:17):
I might as well be a baseball player. You know,
I'm never home, you know, so I didn't want I
didn't want to hear that back. Now, getting to the
stadium on Sunday and calling a game is way better
than being in the studio for all the reasons you
just said. Because you're sitting there and you get the action,
you get the excitement of being at the ballpark. You
(33:39):
get what we pay for right as fans. How many
times have you paid to have a seat in the
stadium for the big events? And I'm there every Sunday night.
It's fantastic. Now, you know, you talk for three hours.
I mean the President of the United States doesn't get
to talk for three straight hours at any point during
the week. So when you mess something up, you know,
(34:02):
you say something stupid or something that you didn't you know,
mean to insult somebody, but you do, then you pay
the price and you end up in the blender of
social media for a little while, and then somebody else
does something.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So you're whining about being on the road for twenty
two weeks? Do you want to be back in the studio?
Is that what you're saying? Well, Collin's worth coming off
the road question mark. No, you're up to five hundred.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
I mean, what am I going to do? Shoot for
a thousand?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I'm like, no, you can go back to the studio now.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm perfectly happy. I don't
when I'm looking, I mean, I'm in I'm really we
have a great time. You have a road family. I mean,
you know what it's like, you have a road family.
I mean it's like you have people I live with
literally for six months out of the year, and you
love them and you're happy to be with them and
the whole thing. But I just think that quarterbacks in general,
(34:59):
especially the ones that have had the careers those guys
have had, they're used to a certain way of life
and they're not. You know, it's it's work. I mean,
you go to the practice facility, you sit around and
you got to get there early for the head coach.
Then you stay another two hours afterwards for the quarterback
who's coming out of a massage. And you know, I mean,
there's it's you know, it's different.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
It's differ real quickly.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Who you're turning me into a whiner here. I don't
want to be a whiner.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
You complained about Montana, and you complained. You know, I'm
just I'm just listening to you, Chris. I'm here for you.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Yeah, yeah, well I appreciate that. I see Bobby Knight
right in front.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
No, that's Lou Holtz.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
That's Lou Holtz.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
At Arkansas, no Way with yellow hair. Yeah, back in
the day he had Yeah, I mean he had Robert
Redford kind of here. Really, I'm a lot older than you, Chris.
Thanks for joining us. Safe there with Washington in Denver
on Sunday night.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
I'm gonna work on being more positive.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Here, all right, That's what I do. Chris collins Worth
And the Thanksgiving night game, it'll be Bengals Ravens, Mike
Tarico with Jason Garrett. They will kick off at eight
twenty Eastern. We'll take a break. Your phone calls coming up.
Reggie Miller in about a half hour from now.

Speaker 9 (36:34):
Back, Darn Dennett's Happy Holidays. I want to start off
with the forty nine as are good enough. I agree
with you, Dan with Ayuk was a really bad contract
that could have had him for another year. It could
have had him for another year for free, basically with
(36:55):
a franchise tag. And let's say anyway, I digress, but
hats goes off to Robert Solo the defense because if
I'll take a pot in the face, if you can
name three guys on that defense, anybody besides Marvin.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Okay, oh, Marvin Ken Okay, all right, I was gonna
say Marvin, Marvin might not be able to.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Right, But if you told me it brought pretty throws,
three picks and we still dominate the game, I'll take
that all day.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
So we're all right, Well you guys are I mean,
you got eight wins given the injuries. That's saying a lot.
That really is John in Pennsylvania, Hi, John, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 12 (37:34):
Quick side note, do you look very comfortable this morning?
That's a really nice hoodie.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I called in you.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Oh, you're welcome.
Speaker 12 (37:40):
I called in it because you were talking about the
AFC East earlier, or well, you were talking about the AFC.
I'm sorry, and I hate to disagree with Seaton, but
Kiefs are going to make the playoffs and so are
the Bills. It's going to be wild cards what we
have in the AFC, Dan, A lot of really nice stories,
nice stories with the Colts and the Patriots and the Broncos.
(38:01):
But like Lewis Riddicks said, dangerous in December, Man, and
you're gonna go back to Vegas. Who are you going
to put your money on Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nix
Or you're gonna and Baltimore sneaky scary five in a
row Man, the AFC get to the rubber meets the
road in December.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, then I think I agree with you. I just
want to see some of these storylines actually play out,
where it's like the Colts get to the postseason and
don't bow out quickly because you know, all year long
we're like, are they legitimate? You know, Jacksonville. I have
no idea how good Jacksonville is, but they got seven wins.
(38:41):
I don't know how good the Colts are. Do I
think that they appear to be one of the top
teams in the AFC. Yes, I want New England to
still be formidable, and yes I agree. If I was
going to Vegas and I was going to place money
on a team in the AFC, it would be the Chiefs. Absolutely.
Lucas in Tech's Hi Lucas, Hey, good morning again, Hey,
(39:04):
welcome back. Sorry Marvin hung up on you.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Well, I didn't know I upset the ham side of
this to make so much. I apologize, but I just
wanted to bring up a quick point about Tom Brady.
I don't know if you saw this on Sunday's broadcast.
He had a moment right at the end of the
first half where the Playboff play guy gave him a
real softball of the question of hey, look at your
Patriots best strictor in the league, and if you go
(39:28):
back and watch, it's twenty seconds of painfully awkward silence
where it feels like his robot brain refused to let
him say anything positive. About the pats on camera, and
so it's just I don't know. I feel like I've
been patient with his performance as a broadcaster, but I
think he needs to put on one of the other side.
I think he needs to go work focus on the Raiders.
(39:50):
They need a lot of attention. It just was a
really awkward moment. I don't know if you saw that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I did not see that, But I think Tom has
to be more of the Tom off the air out
of a quarterback room, because when you hear those stories,
Tom is fun. Tom tells stories. You get on there,
sometimes you get buttoned up, too buttoned up, and that
would be you know, don't be so dependent on stats
(40:17):
as much as first hand knowledge. Nobody knows more than
you do. Give us that information before we see something,
and have fun with it and laugh at yourself. Yeah,
that's kind of why I love Troy Aikman. Well, he
didn't get to a point where it's like, you know,
he didn't give a blank Well yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Maybe, but he just has an ability to in five
seconds tell you exactly why that play. I'll see this
block right here made this whole play happen, or this
I'll see this play right here, This is the key
to this whole thing. He has an ability to very
quickly explain something that you probably didn't notice.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
And he also is not afraid of giving an opinion,
and that's where a lot of these guys get a
little paralyzed there. But I would just watch your game
as if we're watching with you in your room and
Todd's playing with the curtains.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two on this Tuesday. I don't know if the Dan
answer being honest with me, it feels like morale is high.
But I don't know if they're faking their morale. No body, no,
I don't know. I just it felt like it was
a little bit over the top. Why would that be
an issue? Now, Dan? Yes, Tom?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Why would we be faking morale? It's the holidays, Thanksgivings
coming up, We're all in good spirits that there should
be no faking of it. Everyone should be in a
very relaxed, happy mood.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Okay, all right, I'm just I'm not quite sure. It
just felt like it was over the top and maybe
wasn't real, and we do deal with real things.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I think this is genuine happiness and feeling.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But is it happiness because you're off tomorrow? I?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, there's a flap.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Tom, Satan's standing ovay, Toad, do you know what you
earned that day off?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You enjoy it? Thank you enjoy every second of it. Okay?
But are we is morale high because Todd is off tomorrow?
Awesomele Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Assessment?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All right? Well, Todd's hears seat, and here Marv Paul
ears truly in the back room. Guys, take advantage of
the calendars. They're available at Danpatrick dot com autograph non
autograph calendars and check out the Tailgate Moonshine Store autograph
calendar with select Tailgate purchases while supplies. Last stat of
the Day brought to you by Penni America, the official
(01:32):
trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. All right, we'll
get to your phone calls coming up. Chris Collinsworth will
join us fresh off is five hundredth NFL broadcast. Reggie
Miller will stop by in the final hour of the program.
The Niners keep it going. I did ask the question
are they good? Are they threatening? Are they relevant? And
(01:55):
I would say are they good? Yes? Are they relevant? Yes?
You got Chris to McCaffrey. Are they threatening? And I
would say no. Even though they have eight wins, they're
in a tough division. I think they're the third best
team in that division. They've had injuries, a bad investment
with Brandon Ayuk. I think they just decided that they're
(02:17):
not going to pick up his contract or the option
for next year already. Then he get thirty million dollars
a year. Weren't the Steelers interested in Brandon ayuk Man
because they don't have They got George Kittle, they got Jennings,
but they used to have some elite wide receivers debos
(02:38):
in Washington. You got McCaffrey, and McCaffrey's not going to
give you those one hundred and thirty yard games as
far as rushing, but he's going to give you eighty
rushing and he's going to give you sixty receiving. He's
going to probably end up doing one thousand yards rushing
one thousand yards receiving. But you start to look they
have their two best defensive play and Fred Warner Bosa
(03:01):
is not there as well. Kyle Shanahan's done a really
good job. And then they survived. Now, granted you survived
because you're playing Carolina, but Carolina's a six win team
and brock perty throws three first half interceptions, but you
still end up winning that game. Carolina was non threatening.
The final score was twenty to nine. So San Francisco's
(03:23):
eight and four and Carolina is six and six. There's
so many teams still in the playoff picture. But this
Cowboys Chiefs game on Thursday, the ramifications of it. Just
imagine if the Cowboys win that game. So that cowboy
bandwagon that's picking up a lot of steam and a
lot of passengers here, and all of a sudden, they're
(03:45):
going to get closer and closer and put some heat
on somebody maybe in that last week or last two
weeks of the regular season, that they might sneak sneak
in and then they would be a dangerous out because
they're playing defense. That offense is really good. The Chiefs.
If the Chiefs would lose that game, now all of
a sudden they need help. But if they win that game,
(04:10):
the boost that the Chiefs would get that they beat
a good cowboy team in Dallas on a short work week,
that's all you know. Once again, everybody in the AFC
is probably upset with the Colts because the Colts did
a disservice to everybody. You're up twenty to nine, put
them away, because if you don't, I don't care what
Mahomes's numbers are. I don't know what his numbers are
(04:32):
this year. He is the most valuable player because he's
the one guy, the one quarterback that I have complete
confidence in that if you get him to the super Bowl.
He can win a super Bowl. I can't do that
with any other quarterback, and even Jalen Hurts, who has
been very impressive in super Bowls. That's the one guy. Now.
Is he the most valuable player during the regular season, No,
(04:54):
because his numbers aren't great. But if you put him
in a postseason, he's the one guy that team where
you go. I don't care where they're going. They can
win those games on the road. But if you don't
kill them and they're still breathing and he's still there quarterback,
he still can go to the super Bowl, which is
pretty amazing because I don't think the team is that good,
(05:17):
but I do think when they need to be good,
they're great. What is and I said, this will probably
be the highest rated regular season game in the history
of the NFL. Cowboys Chiefs Thanksgiving Day, Paula, do you
have a list of the top five games of all time? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Front Office Sports compile a list just six months ago.
There's a lot of Thanksgiving Day games involved in this list.
I'll give you the top five. December two, nineteen eighty five,
Monday Night Football Bears versus Dolphins, thirty nine million.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
People Okay, so the Bears were undefeated, right, and I
remember Marino had a couple of touchdown passes to end
the winning streak for the Bears and.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
They lost and fill in the Super Bowl Shuffle the
next day. That's cocky the fourth all time Thanksgiving Day
twenty twenty one, Raiders versus Cowboys forty one million. Thanksgiving
Day twenty twenty three, Cowboys versus Washington forty one and
a half million. December third, nineteen ninety nine, Thanksgiving Day
forty nine Ers versus Giants forty one and a half million.
(06:18):
The game was seven to three nine Ers and the
highest rated game all time. Regular season Thanksgiving Day November
twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, Cowboys Giants forty two point
two million.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think they're going to get to forty five million.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
The combination of Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Cowboys as effected and the Chiefs. Yeah, that's the killer.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Like Cowboys are in the top ten ranked games all time,
Cowboys are in seven of them.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, I mean, that's why the network scrambled hoping to
get Cowboy games, even you know, when they were losing
in the early part of the season, and I said
that people are still going to watch. It doesn't matter.
People will still watch. And now you get them relevant
and maybe picking up some speed, and now you have
people are gonna be tuning in. This is the conundrum
because you're gonna have people who don't like the Cowboys
(07:08):
but are gonna like the Cowboys if they beat the Chiefs.
You don't like the coverage of the Cowboys, And that's
what I always go back to. It's not the Cowboys,
it's the coverage of the Cowboys that I have a
problem with. You know, Dak is a good person, a
nice guy, likable guy. I don't have many issues with him.
I mean, Jerry's good content. He's entertaining that I don't.
(07:29):
It's not like I dislike the Cowboys. It's I dislike
the coverage of the Cowboys. And there's a big difference
in that. It's like Shoudear Sanders and the Browns. I
don't have anything against Shade or Sanders or the Browns.
I dislike the coverage of Chaudor Sanders in the Browns,
and Shaudor is gonna get the start against the forty
(07:49):
nine Ers.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the Cowboys beating the Eagles last week,
that definitely helped.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Old else. Oh thank you. I argue with that. Hell
with the height of this game, Oh absolutely no, it
doesn't matter. They're still tuning in. It doesn't The Cowboys
are always going to get people.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I think people are more interested because they just beat
the Eagles in the fashion he did.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Or no, no, no, no, they're still Yeah, it heightens it
a little bit, but it's still the Cowboys and the
Cowboys on Thanksgiving and Kansas City coming to town, where
you're going to be rooting, You're going to find people
rooting for the Cowboys only because they're facing the Chiefs
and they don't want to see Patrick Mahomes and the
Chiefs anymore. Do you realize, you know some of the
social media comments when the Chiefs were losing to the Colts,
(08:38):
like you had people saying they should get rid of
Andy Reid, Like you know, the game is passing by,
and I'm like, you are some spoiled, spoiled fans, got
a Hall of Fame coach, and all of a sudden,
the game is passing by. They're not a better team
than the Colts talent wise, but they won the game.
(09:00):
And I think that's sometimes we lose sight of that
it's like, we're not blowing people out anymore. No, those
Kansas City Chiefs, they're not coming back anytime soon. You're
grinding it out, just like just about every other NFL team. Yes,
Marvin spoiled.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I think you meant to say another word that starts
with S stupid.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh yes, wow, okay, I'm trying to guess. I was
just going, yeah, I was thinking stink, spoiled, sucker, Yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
If you want to see fun tweets, look at the
halftime tweets when Dallas was down twenty one zero to
the Eagle. Crushing embarrassing sales are more fair. Yes, saying
Andy Reid can't coach anymore is absurd. Saying the Cowboys
stink because they're down twenty one nothing on this crappy season,
that's not really a stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
A couple of phone calls in here Andrew and Washington.
Good morning, Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Good morning, Dan, Dennis.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I have a day late, best and worst. My best
would be that the Panthers were actually on Monday Night football.
I worse was that the Panthers were Underday Night Football.
I don't know how you don't win that game after
getting three first half interceptions. They definitely didn't look like
they were on the rise in that game. They just
look like they go up and they go down. It's
been a roller coaster season, hoping for the best for
(10:14):
the end. I also have a stat of the day.
You kind of took that one about Joker on becoming
the fastest to ten triple doubles in a season, but
also just to kind of give you an idea of
what he's doing compared to the rest of the NBA.
The NBA has five players that I've had fifteen plus
assist in a game. Joker has three games a fifteen
plus assist in the game just this season by himself.
(10:37):
I think when we get out of football season, we'll
look back and go, Wow, he's doing another historic season.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh he's the MVP. He's the best player in the game.
You can have Shay Gilgess, he's a wonderful player, deserving
of the MVP. That team is seventeen and one. There
is no better player in the NBA than Joker. Just
not night in night out. He's going to get you
a double. I mean, he's averaging a triple double and
(11:03):
it's really kind of just going through the Hey, I'm
just playing and it's not one of those men. Did
he have a knight? It's I even said, well he
only had seventeen points, but then like sixteen eleven rebounds.
It is he makes it look easy. It's not easy.
He makes it look easy. And please, if somebody says,
(11:25):
well there's any blade defense, look at his steals a
look at what he averages two steals a game. That's
usually what the league leader is around two steals a game.
And look at his rebounding, defensive rebounding. Oh you doesn't
get me rim protection? Okay, who takes it to the
(11:48):
rim anymore? Rim protection? Yes, marmon.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm just gonna feel bad if the thunderwin seventy five
games and he's not gonna win the MVP after putting
up another historic season.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't know if they would go seventy five and seven.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But if they win seventy games, okay, Shay, MVP.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well if you want to give it to him, I
mean they took one away from Joker with EMBIID. Don't
remind me. I mean that was a personal That's where
Kendrick Perkins make it made it personal like how can
we give him another MVP? Like, you know, only Larry
Bird and those kind of guys get this. He is
(12:33):
playing at such a high level like it's it's ridiculous.
How and Shay is a wonderful player, He's great, and
give him the MVP. I just don't think you should
go We're bored with Joker. Let's give it to somebody else.
And that happens, It really does. Yeah, Pauline, I've got
the list here.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Top twenty all time career NBA triple doubles. It's Russell
Westbrook with two oh five. But Jokic just catch him fast.
He's at one seventy four. He could probably pass him
this season or early next. Magic Johnson's fourth all time,
Lebron's fifth all time. Here's a couple of funny names.
Ben Simmons is fifteenth all time with thirty three triple
(13:15):
doubles in his career. He has two more than Michael
Jordan's Who would you have?
Speaker 9 (13:20):
Who?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Undergree?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Who would you rather have? Collie in Chicago? Hey Colly,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Hello?
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Mister Patrick gets Colley McCall in four to fifty pounds.
That didn't that didn't get the laugh. I was looking
for it. Todd, welcome to Welcome to your world. All right,
here he goes there once was a passle so odd
he wore out a curtain rod. No one ever goes
to Vegas, I'm certain, just to play with a curtain.
(13:50):
Nobody parties like Todd.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Thank you, Colling, well done. Collie mccaukin, Yeah, I know,
very nice. I know it was called back from me
making a mistake when I was in Vegas. McAuley calkin. Yeah,
that was a pretty creative limerick.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I'll give him that.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hmm. Really yeah. I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay, it's not could I win any awards or anything,
but it was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It was a serviceable limerick. You got one foot out
the door, you're going, I mean you do. I mean
you're not working tomorrow. You're out the door right like
your head somewhere else. Today.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'm pretty much at the airport.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
My body is here, and you're going, Uh, you're going
out of the country.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I'm going to Amsterdam to visit my daughter who's studying
abroad in Copenhagen, and she's going to meet us in Amsterdam.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I wanted to study abroad and they didn't want to
study that abroad. I remember my first two years in college,
I'd like to study abroad where Oh, right here on campus.
Oh I thought you meant out of the country. No, yes, Pauline,
Amsterdam's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
And one of the things that's obviously known for is
the thing that Fritzi would never participating.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's like Vegas.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
He's going to go to Vegas and not go out,
and he's going to Amsterdam and not partaken with them.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
And there's no way the curtains in the hotel is
going to be anything like the Fountain Blue.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Something I have to deal with that.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yes, Marmon, Wait, so you weren't doing damage and you
were getting bad grades.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I wasn't playing, and I wasn't getting any girls, and
I wasn't going to class. So you weren't playing and
you weren't I my first two years of college it
was dry. It sound like a great experience, it was.
It was not. Gotta admit. I had a coach who
(15:36):
didn't like me, I had girls who did not like me,
and I had classes that I did not like them.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah, sounds like a trifecta.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It was. It was embarrassing. Embarrassing, and looking back, I
get it. I get my coach hated me, and the
girls didn't like me either. But at least I had
a better college career than Todd did because I wasn't
at home with my mom, No doubt about no comeback
(16:05):
and offer that nobody. Mom, get out of the room.
We don't want cupcakes.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We had to have one foot on the floor for
visitation one day a week on a Sunday, and the
ra would come up and down the hallway and be like, hey,
gotta have one foot on the floor. Like that actually
happened my first two years of college, that you couldn't
have no feet on the floor and maybe be in
(16:32):
your bed.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Come on, I put feet on the floor, come on now.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I was there was nobody in my room, so
I didn't have to worry about that. They'd be like, hey,
you got one foot on the floor. No one else
is in here. It seems unnecessarily strict. How about we
take a break. Chris Collinsworth, he was a big deal

Chris collins Worth, NBC Sunday Night football analyst and just completed,
celebrated his five hundredth career broadcast Sunday Night with the
Bucks and the Rams. On Thanksgiving Night, He's got the
Bengals and the Ravens. Joe Burrow is expected to start
a we'll kick off at eight twenty eastern on NBC
in Peacock. Before we get started, apparently you were listening
(17:58):
to my college conversation in my college days at Eastern
Kentucky for two years, and you would like to be
my therapist.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Go ahead, you know, just just a little bit. It
was interesting that, you know, you were in college and
it was the college rule. You know, it was one
foot on the ground you had to keep not too right.
If you had been a professional at that point. So
in today's nil world, I think you would have had
to have two feet on the ground in order to
(18:27):
you know, pass.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
How was your college, I mean you were a big deal. You're,
you know, big star at Florida.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
It's like everybody else's I think. I mean, you go
in there, you have no idea. My one son had
the best idea. Austin went to play at Notre Dame
and he said, you know, the most interesting part of
college is the first week. Like everybody's in a full
panic that they don't know anybody, they don't have any friends,
and they want to have friends. So he said, I
(18:58):
just came up with the idea. Yea, I was going
to go up to every hot girl on campus and go, look, hey,
we're all new. Here, here's my phone number. If you
need anything, they give it yours. It was like the
greatest scam of all time that he just had this
whole thing worked out in his brain and the rest
of us are like, Hi, Hi, I'm Fromsville, Florida. Yeah,
(19:21):
I want to be a doctor, but I probably will
never get there, so I'm hoping I can be a broadcast.
You know, Like, what do we were all doing? We
were all terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Wait, you wanted to be a doctor.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
I went through a year of like pre med and
it was you know, I could do fine in every
class except for the weeding out class was chemistry, and
I made like sees and pretty much understood at that
point that wasn't happening.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What are the chances Lane Kiffen goes to your alma mater.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
You know, I was watching that game when Florida was
playing Old miss and I was thinking, this is going
to be the most messed thing of all. Florida wants
Lane Kiffin, and now Florida's team's gonna beat Lane Kiffin
before it, and so now nobody's gonna want Lane Kiffin.
Like only Florida could come up with this scenario. I
(20:13):
don't know. I've I've heard little rumors on the outside
and they're thinking that, you know, Lane's going to give
them a discount for going to Florida and probably not
going to happen, and you know, there's always a few
things going on, so that, yeah, Florida's Florida's kind of
in neat, and you've got to say what Lane has
done at Ole Miss has been pretty remarkable. That's that's
(20:35):
pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
All right. So you got the Bengals coming up. Would
you be starting Joe Burrow if you were coaching the Bengals.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
It's so hard to know, you know, going in there,
I'm not doing the game on Thursday. Jason Garrett will
be doing that one. But it's it's it's difficult, right,
I mean, you've got a franchise quarterback here. You're not
in all likelihood going anywhere. But the part of that
is it's still possible, you know, I know, the percent
(21:06):
is like one percent that they do this. But they've
split with Pittsburgh and they have two games remaining with
the Ravens. So if they were to beat the Ravens
in both games, I mean, the leader in the division
six and five, you know, they're both six and five
and the Bengals have three wins, So you knock off
the Ravens twice. Who knows? Is that possible? It's possible.
It's a divisional game. You're still not out of the hunt.
(21:29):
But I have a feeling that Joe Burrow is kind
of that guy that it just kills him to not
be in the lineup with this guys. And we've already
heard a little bit of the rumblings from behind the scenes.
You know what it did for the defense that Joe
Burrow practiced all week last week that he's not given
up on the season and he wanted to play, and
(21:50):
it kind of gave a spark to the whole team.
So I'm assuming the doctors know what they're doing. Would
I do it on its face, No, there just doesn't
seem to be that big a reason to do it.
But it's Joe Burrow, and you know, God bless him,
he's competitive.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, you got the Ravens twice. You also have the
Dolphins and the Browns and the Cardinals. So you could
kind of catch lightning in a bottle here and maybe
make it interesting, putting some pressure on the Steelers. But like,
you can't bubble wrap him, Chris, like you're paying him
fifty million dollars to be your quarterback. You can't go, well,
we're not going to put him out there because the
(22:28):
games don't mean anything. You still have a fan base.
You got to play Kate as well.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You do. But the point of it, and only someone
who has lost too Super Bowls could say this, Honestly,
you only played to win a championship. That's it. It
doesn't do you any good to win a game, to
win a season, to have winning record, and we had
a ten and six season. We didn't get to go
to the playoffs. And when you know, everybody was always
(22:53):
crying about that. And but you know, nobody remembers anything
you did if you didn't win it all, they just don't.
I mean, I've never had anybody come up to me
and go, oh boy, I remember there's two AFC championship
games you guys played, and no they remember, Oh I
remember when Joe Montana beat you twice in the Super Bowl.
That's that's what they remember. And it's it's it's a
(23:17):
really you know, I wish I had one more chance
to do it. That is the funny part about it.
It's like it's like everybody wants to play to win
the whole thing, the whole thing, and when you don't,
it just doesn't matter. So if Joe Burrow playing this
year somehow hurts his chances of winning it all next year.
(23:40):
That's why I would think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Does it make it any easier that you did lose
to Joe Montana?
Speaker 7 (23:48):
No, you know, because really we go through. So I
do games in San Francisco all the time, and you
go through, and of course the Super Bowl trophies are
ut center when you're there. And they had five Super
Bowls and three of them were complete blowouts. They blew
out the competition, and two of them were close games
(24:09):
against us, So we definitely had a chance. We had
the first one. We were around twenty to nothing at
halftime and still had a chance to win the game
by the end of it. But yeah, it's uh yeah,
So this is your becoming my therapist. I was going
to be your therapist. Now you're becoming mine. I need
I need this.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, we're talking to Chris Collins, where just completed his
five hundred career game. It was Sunday night. More catches
in the NFL, or more games.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
That you called games that I called. I think it
was important.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You're close to five hundred receptions.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Weren't you were seventeen something. We had a couple of
strike years in there and yeah, so, I mean it
wasn't like nobody caught like you could always be around
the leading receiver. If you caught sixty to seventy passes
like that, those are the guys who were going to
the Pro Bowl back then. Now those are like fourth
(25:07):
string guys. You know. You know what the other part's funny.
I never had one. I can't remember a touchdown pass.
I'm sure I had one of under ten yards, you know.
I was watching DeVante Adams the other night and he
was like, quick slant, Jerry Rice would have one. I
(25:27):
never caught a wide receiver screen like the game is
just I never caught a back shoulder throw. Nobody even
invented a back shoulder throw at that time. I was like,
how stupid were we that we didn't think to have
somebody stop on a go route when he was in
position to be able to make the play. Nobody had
the bunch formations where you could get three receivers and
(25:48):
get them out of man to man coverage. I remember
playing the Raiders and then the Cleveland Browns with their
great cornerbacks that they had, and you just lined up
out wide and tried to get open fast and meanwhile,
they're blitzing their quarterback and getting after them. It's so
funny looking back on the game where it was and
where it is today and the answers that they have
(26:10):
in the passing game today. It's a wonder they ever
run the ball at all.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You're kind of whining here the Super Bowls. You're whining
about not being used correctly.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Yeah, but at least I didn't have to keep one foot.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
On the college. If the Cowboys beat the Chiefs, finish
that sentence.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
Pay attention. I don't think they're catching the Eagles. I
really don't. But when you have an offense like that, yeah,
pay attention. Because they did make some moves, right, they
made some moves to improve their defense that was really
pretty bad. And really the first game against the Eagles
wasn't that sort of it wasn't that bad a game.
(26:52):
That was the opening night. So the divisional opponents always
spend a ton of time working all the teams in
their division. So Dallas is the one team that division
should they sneak into the playoffs, and you go, you
know who are the favorite? Right now? You probably say
Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Rams are the two front runners.
(27:14):
And Dallas because they can score points. Could have a day,
could have a day against either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with
the Eagles, and they're probably still trying to figure out.
Does it come down to the offensive line Maybe isn't
as good as it's been in previous years.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
I think that's true. I do think that's true. But
they were great, you know, they were so far superior
than what they had been in the past. And the
other one that I mean, I talked about it on
the air the other night, but Jalen hurts. I think
to some extent they haven't completely opened up that offense.
(27:56):
And they're going to make the playoffs. There's no way
they're not going to make the playoff. And the goal
is to get to the playoffs and unleash the hounds
at that point. And so you think about when the
Eagles are great. In my opinion, Eagles are great when
they have not scrambles, which Jalen does, but designated run
(28:18):
plays with him. They run powers, they run read options,
they run various plays. That sets up the run game
because now you've got to leave the backside edge player
there because you know, he might hand it off, he
might run the other way off to the right. So
when you get those plays going, when you get those
(28:41):
runs going, even if it's just five per game, it
sets up Saquon Barkley to not have to have that
backside in You're going to have an extra safety come
down in the box to try and stop him from running.
And what happened last year was when Saquon got out,
it was against a single high safety and no single
(29:03):
safety ever tackled him. But now defenses are getting away
with two deep safeties being back there in the run
game and coming down and now they're able to tackle him.
And he's getting the ten to fifteen yard runs. He's
not getting the seventy yard runs. And the other part
of that is now you've got quarterback running, You've got
saque exploding with big plays, and now you're setting up
(29:26):
what aj Brown does best, which is play against man coverage.
AJ Brown with his in cuts, with his slants, with
his catch and run, he looks like a tank out
there on the field. Now you get those two things going,
which they had last year, and now you got aj going,
And now's the Dante Smith is you know the fourth
thing you got to stop, and so he gets man
(29:48):
coverage and he's catching the bomb. So I think when
they get to the playoffs, maybe I'm completely wrong, maybe
I'm completely out of my mind. I do think you're
going to see Jalen Hirch run on some of those
designator place mark to set up everything else.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Did Tom Brady reach out to you about how to
become an analyst?
Speaker 7 (30:06):
He did? Yeah, yeah, then you reach out to you.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
He did not, because I wouldn't have the firsthand knowledge
of that. I did talk to Drew Brees a little
bit about it, but that's you know, you're in the
studio and I said, it's so sterile there. You've got
to create excitement in the studio when you go to
the game that allows you to be as close to
the action as possibly playing. What did you tell Brady.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
To go to the studio? Honestly, it's exactly But it's
the same thing I told Peyton Manning, same thing I
told all of them. I said, you know, the studio
is something that what are you preparing for? You've got
like five or six different hits during the course of
the show. You know what you're going to talk about
going into it. You can research it easily. It's not
(30:54):
that big a deal. Now you do have to know
a little something about all the teams, but that's not
too bad when you go when you do the game
and you are starting from scratch every single week. I mean,
we did Washington a couple of weeks ago, but so
much has changed during the course of the last couple
of weeks. With that, now you got to go back
and I got to be able to study Marcus Mariodin.
(31:16):
I gotta because now he's taken over the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, but this is what Tom did on a weekly basis.
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Yeah, but here's what I tell him, and the same
thing I told peyon Man. I got to look, You're
used to getting ready for one side of the ball,
your offense against their defense. Now you have six sides
of the ball that you got to get ready for.
Now you got to get ready for the backup offensive tackle.
And who's the assistant weight coach, and who's the general
manager and what moves might they be making and blah
(31:44):
blah blah blah blah. And it's work. I mean. And
Tom God beloved him. That's what he said. He goes,
I love the work. I love the grind. I missed
the grind. I want to do that, And I go okay,
I said, now let me lay the last bit off you.
Now we've got You're used to playing eight road games
(32:05):
a year. You are now going to have twenty two
road games. You got twenty two straight road games. I
know you want to be around your kids. I know
you want to have some time, you want to do that.
But that's that's what it's about. When night we did
the pregame show, we would go in on Saturday. Now
I go in on Thursday night. So Thursday night to
Monday is your twenty two straight weeks life, if you're
(32:28):
ready for that. And Peyton, Peyton was He's the genius
of all geniuses. Somehow he went from he was going
to call games, just sitting in his basement with his
brother screwing around and getting Emmy awards like I have
no idea. He's the smartest human being I ever met
my life.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Okay, but did you.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Brady wanted it? He wanted it?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Did he try to talk him out of it and
tell him to do studio instead of going on the road.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Did I do that?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Did you try to?
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yes? Every one of them have called me. I go,
I go, look, just bear with me. I'm going to
try and talk you out of what you're talking about here,
and and I give them the same I give them
all the same spiel, every single one. I'm because I
know why I'm coming back to me going, oh man,
my life was ruined. I'm living on the road. You know,
(33:17):
I might as well be a baseball player. You know,
I'm never home, you know, so I didn't want I
didn't want to hear that back. Now, getting to the
stadium on Sunday and calling a game is way better
than being in the studio for all the reasons you
just said. Because you're sitting there and you get the action,
you get the excitement of being at the ballpark. You
(33:39):
get what we pay for right as fans. How many
times have you paid to have a seat in the
stadium for the big events? And I'm there every Sunday night.
It's fantastic. Now, you know, you talk for three hours.
I mean the President of the United States doesn't get
to talk for three straight hours at any point during
the week. So when you mess something up, you know,
(34:02):
you say something stupid or something that you didn't you know,
mean to insult somebody, but you do, then you pay
the price and you end up in the blender of
social media for a little while, and then somebody else
does something.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So you're whining about being on the road for twenty
two weeks? Do you want to be back in the studio?
Is that what you're saying? Well, Collin's worth coming off
the road question mark. No, you're up to five hundred.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
I mean, what am I going to do? Shoot for
a thousand?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I'm like, no, you can go back to the studio now.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm perfectly happy. I don't
when I'm looking, I mean, I'm in I'm really we
have a great time. You have a road family. I mean,
you know what it's like, you have a road family.
I mean it's like you have people I live with
literally for six months out of the year, and you
love them and you're happy to be with them and
the whole thing. But I just think that quarterbacks in general,
(34:59):
especially the ones that have had the careers those guys
have had, they're used to a certain way of life
and they're not. You know, it's it's work. I mean,
you go to the practice facility, you sit around and
you got to get there early for the head coach.
Then you stay another two hours afterwards for the quarterback
who's coming out of a massage. And you know, I mean,
there's it's you know, it's different.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
It's differ real quickly.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Who you're turning me into a whiner here. I don't
want to be a whiner.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
You complained about Montana, and you complained. You know, I'm
just I'm just listening to you, Chris. I'm here for you.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Yeah, yeah, well I appreciate that. I see Bobby Knight
right in front.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
No, that's Lou Holtz.
Speaker 7 (35:41):
That's Lou Holtz.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
At Arkansas, no Way with yellow hair. Yeah, back in
the day he had Yeah, I mean he had Robert
Redford kind of here. Really, I'm a lot older than you, Chris.
Thanks for joining us. Safe there with Washington in Denver
on Sunday night.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
I'm gonna work on being more positive.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Here, all right, That's what I do. Chris collins Worth

twenty Eastern. We'll take a break. Your phone calls coming up.

Speaker 9 (36:34):
Back, Darn Dennett's Happy Holidays. I want to start off
with the forty nine as are good enough. I agree
with you, Dan with Ayuk was a really bad contract
that could have had him for another year. It could
have had him for another year for free, basically with
(36:55):
a franchise tag. And let's say anyway, I digress, but
hats goes off to Robert Solo the defense because if
I'll take a pot in the face, if you can
name three guys on that defense, anybody besides Marvin.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Okay, oh, Marvin Ken Okay, all right, I was gonna
say Marvin, Marvin might not be able to.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Right, But if you told me it brought pretty throws,
three picks and we still dominate the game, I'll take
that all day.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
So we're all right, Well you guys are I mean,
you got eight wins given the injuries. That's saying a lot.
That really is John in Pennsylvania, Hi, John, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Hey, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 12 (37:34):
Quick side note, do you look very comfortable this morning?
That's a really nice hoodie.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I called in you.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Oh, you're welcome.
Speaker 12 (37:40):
I called in it because you were talking about the
AFC East earlier, or well, you were talking about the AFC.
I'm sorry, and I hate to disagree with Seaton, but
Kiefs are going to make the playoffs and so are
the Bills. It's going to be wild cards what we
have in the AFC, Dan, A lot of really nice stories,
nice stories with the Colts and the Patriots and the Broncos.
(38:01):
But like Lewis Riddicks said, dangerous in December, Man, and
you're gonna go back to Vegas. Who are you going
to put your money on Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nix
Or you're gonna and Baltimore sneaky scary five in a
row Man, the AFC get to the rubber meets the
road in December.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, then I think I agree with you. I just
want to see some of these storylines actually play out,
where it's like the Colts get to the postseason and
don't bow out quickly because you know, all year long
we're like, are they legitimate? You know, Jacksonville. I have
no idea how good Jacksonville is, but they got seven wins.
(38:41):
I don't know how good the Colts are. Do I
think that they appear to be one of the top
teams in the AFC. Yes, I want New England to
still be formidable, and yes I agree. If I was
going to Vegas and I was going to place money
on a team in the AFC, it would be the Chiefs. Absolutely.
Lucas in Tech's Hi Lucas, Hey, good morning again, Hey,
(39:04):
welcome back. Sorry Marvin hung up on you.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Well, I didn't know I upset the ham side of
this to make so much. I apologize, but I just
wanted to bring up a quick point about Tom Brady.
I don't know if you saw this on Sunday's broadcast.
He had a moment right at the end of the
first half where the Playboff play guy gave him a
real softball of the question of hey, look at your
Patriots best strictor in the league, and if you go
(39:28):
back and watch, it's twenty seconds of painfully awkward silence
where it feels like his robot brain refused to let
him say anything positive. About the pats on camera, and
so it's just I don't know. I feel like I've
been patient with his performance as a broadcaster, but I
think he needs to put on one of the other side.
I think he needs to go work focus on the Raiders.
(39:50):
They need a lot of attention. It just was a
really awkward moment. I don't know if you saw that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I did not see that, But I think Tom has
to be more of the Tom off the air out
of a quarterback room, because when you hear those stories,
Tom is fun. Tom tells stories. You get on there,
sometimes you get buttoned up, too buttoned up, and that
would be you know, don't be so dependent on stats
(40:17):
as much as first hand knowledge. Nobody knows more than
you do. Give us that information before we see something,
and have fun with it and laugh at yourself. Yeah,
that's kind of why I love Troy Aikman. Well, he
didn't get to a point where it's like, you know,
he didn't give a blank Well yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Maybe, but he just has an ability to in five
seconds tell you exactly why that play. I'll see this
block right here made this whole play happen, or this
I'll see this play right here, This is the key
to this whole thing. He has an ability to very
quickly explain something that you probably didn't notice.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
And he also is not afraid of giving an opinion,
and that's where a lot of these guys get a
little paralyzed there. But I would just watch your game
as if we're watching with you in your room and
Todd's playing with the curtains.
