to seven three DP show Seaton Poll question from hour

(02:23):
one and what are we going to go with an
hour two?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
We have up there?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Are the Cowboys a Super Bowl contender? Your options were absolutely?
Kind of but not really or lol? No right now
one of those options has seventy six percent of a vote.
Lol no, correct, that's right. Most people say absolutely not.
I like when this audience gets the assignment.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, whether they believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
They don't want to believe that Dallas is a Super
Bowl contender.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
That's one of those.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I'm wondering if that's actually Cowboys fans voting or
everyone else voting for that option.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
I'm not really sure.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Now, well, Dallas Beach, New York twenty to fifteen, and
of course the points spread was five and a half.
Here's Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys head coach, after the win.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
I just think really as a whole you know, as
a just the whole team. I mean, that's really the
first four quarter game we've played. I mean, we're you know,
it was a complimentary football game, you know, I you know,
I wish we would have been able to drive the
ball more offensively. I just felt like we left our
defense out there a bit much, you know, that dead
long swing right before the half, and then you know,

(03:28):
they came right back here in the first driver in
the third quarter, so I hang out. I thought that
was very challenging for our defense and for them to
continue to fight. But I think the biggest thing was,
you know, we were able to you know, frankly, I
feel next the first game I called, you know, for
four quarters.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, congratulations Cowboys. Next games Steelers, Lions, than a bye, Niners, Falcons, Eagles, Texans.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
All right, so can you.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Go three and three, four and two over that stretch?
So you got they just about everybody is a playoff
team or has been a playoff team. Steelers, Lions, Niners, Falcons, Eagles, Texans.
All right, Mike, tell us a whole lot about the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yes, Marvin, and this is the this is the worst
year to have no running game, because throughout the first
three weeks everyone's had a big running game and this
isn't good for the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and people have had a really good running game
against the Cowboys too, So it's a bad, bad year
to not be able to run and a bad year
to not be able to stop the run, but the
Cowboys get the win twenty to fifteen. The White Sox
hold off history. They sweep the Angels. So the final
weekend of the regular season coming up, the A's are

(04:45):
done in Oakland, and I don't know if people took seats.
I didn't see that story. I thought if you bought
a ticket, that you should be able to take your
seat with you. I thought that would have been a
nice parting gift. But I I don't know what they
did with the Oakland Coliseum on the way out. Yes, yeah,
I think people were definitely grabbing seats.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Okay, for sure, sure, I do like uh like Ricky Henderson,
never missing a chance to be Ricky Henderson. They asked
him what he thought of the A's leaving, and he said,
I have too much money to be said, all right, that's.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Just Ricky b Ricky. He never misses.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
He never every even when you don't see it coming,
You're like, God, that's exactly what Ricky Henderson would say.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's exactly what he would say.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
There's so many Ricky Henderson's stories, they're just are I
guess he didn't cash as signing bonus when he first
got into baseball. He framed the check and then somebody said, hey,
when are you going to you know, bookkeeping was like,
when are you going to cash that check? And he
had it framed. He didn't didn't know that that was
the check he was supposed to cash. It's just for show.

(05:54):
And then he got on the team bus. I don't
know who he was with, and uh he went all
the way to the back of the team bus and
I think the manager said, Ricky, you got tenure.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
You can sit wherever you want to go. Ten year,
I got twenty years. That dude is the best man.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
What a character, What a character.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
That just feels like he was a documentary. Maybe they
missed the point. Maybe you know, when they could have
done a documentary on Ricky b Ricky. Harold Reynolds would
talk about Ricky Henderson. He would talk to himself at
the plate where he'd be like, all right, Ricky, all right, Ricky,
Ricky's looking for fastball, and then it'd be a breaking bell.
All right, all right, all right, all right, Ricky. Now

(06:38):
you know, so the hole at bad he's you know,
talking to himself and then this is relayed to Harold
Reynolds of MLB Network from the catcher, Ricky strikes out,
and Ricky goes, Ricky gonna get him next time and
walks to him a dugout.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yes, Martvin, I don't think Ricky brought up in the
conversation of coolest MLB player ever or coolest athlete ever.
He used to pop his collar when he would hit
home run. He was on like the little hop. Yes, everything,
the uniform looked perfect, the white cleats, number twenty four.

(07:14):
I mean the snatch when he would grab a fly, Yes,
snatch it right.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
And he's up there of greatest living baseball player. I
mean he's he probably not included, you know, with Bonds
and Griffy now Showhy, but Ricky b Ricky. H I
missed those days of the disruptor. You got on first
and all of a sudden, that picture was melting down

(07:40):
because Ricky was going to steal second, and chances are
steal third, and you'd have a dribbler to short and
Ricky was going to score and all he did was
get a walk to get on first base.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I missed that.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was such a big part of baseball when I
was growing up, everybody had to have that guy if
it was Vince Coleman or lou Brock Wills. Oh my god,
he got on first and you could just see the pitcher.
He'd be like, not worried about the hitter.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
He's got one eye.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yes, yes, Mary has a random baseball question. So was
don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, and Ricky Henderson all on the
Yankees at one time?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
How come they weren't phenomenal?

Speaker 7 (08:22):
I think so.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I think they were all there at the same time.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
Were they?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
This had to be at the end of Donnie's career.
I'm thinking I know maddingly was in a batting title
race with Dave Winfield, but I don't think Winfield was
on the Yankees at the time.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Check that if you can be five ish.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, hey, Ricky still would have been in Oakland.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Uh, Kevin in Africa joining us? Hi, Kevin man, what's up?

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Brother?

Speaker 9 (08:53):
Or as we saying Swahili mambo vpi kaka happy Friday,
you're in East Africa?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, thank you, Kevin.

Speaker 9 (09:00):
Hey, I just want to touch on d Rose, his retirement,
Dan and what he meant to Chicagoans. Obviously we're spoiled
by MJ. But remember we then had to sit through
the Baby Bulls with Eddie Curry, the Tim Floyd era. Yeah, accident,
d Rose comes along. He's a homegrown kid, incredibly humble.
Opposing players are on record as having said other guards

(09:20):
would get the flu when they were playing the Bulls
to avoid d Rose. Even after the injuries, he stayed productive.
Remember that emotional fifty piece in Minnesota a few years ago.
I just think we got to put some respect on
his name, Dan and I wonder if you think he's
got a chance at the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, you know what I brought this up, Kevin. I
didn't think that he was going to go into the
Hall of Fame, but then Marvin brought up that every
MVP in NBA history has gone into the Hall of Fame.
The college situation at Memphis, and then are you supposed
to forget about those numbers or wipe them away that
they didn't exist. It felt like he needed a few

(09:57):
more seasons playing at that high end. And then I
think because he played longer, didn't play it at a
high level, maybe kind of watered down the rest of
his career. But I mean, he was impactful and I
did have a former a general manager reached out to
me yesterday who was listening and goes, Derek. He leaves

(10:17):
a message because I didn't recognize the number. He goes,
He's a Hall of Famer. Call me back, and I'm like, uh, okay,
he's a Hall of Famer. That's all he said. Hall
of famer called me back. I'm like, all right. So
I had a little conversation and I'm like, okay, I
gave my I don't you put him in the Hall
of Fame.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I'm just telling Marvin said, do you think he's a
Hall of Famer? And I go, no, I think he's
He had Hall of Fame moments an MVP.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
He was unbelievable at a young age. But I just I.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Think the injuries kind of took him down, maybe out
of the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Yes, Marv, yeah, because I was only saying he's getting
in because the Basketball Hall of Fame, the standards are
much lower. Trust me, there's it's kind of the Hall
of very good. No knock to anybody that's in, but
it's not baseball or you know, Tommy John's got two
hundred and eighty eight wins, he would have been and
if they had the same standards in basketball as they
do baseball.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
So that's all I was saying.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Tommy John was on Michael Kaye's radio show and Michael
asked him why he's not already in the Hall of Fame.
Tommy John, he said, I don't know. Maybe because I
announced that I voted for Donald Trump, and I go, oh,
I mean what about all the other years when like,

(11:39):
who did you vote for before that, like Mussolini or
I mean Stalin, Like I didn't understand that that. Hey,
we're not going to put him in. Why voted for
Trump seems a little heavy handed.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I think a few years from now, about ten, fifteen,
twenty years from now, he's going to vote away.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I don't like, just have been having some fun. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know about that, Tommy John. Guy, it looks
like he could vote the other party, if you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Like, what's his stints on Texas? That's really What does
he think of immigration? How does he feel about the border.
Where does he stand on Texas?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yes, he was trying to prevent things from going over
a wall. Little picture, thank you, all right? Yeah, no,
little political humor there.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yes, all right.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
So nineteen eighty five Yankees. Don Mattingly, Willie Randolph, an older,
Ken Griffy Senior, Ricky Henderson, and Dave Winfield all on
the eighty five Yankees. But they were actually really good.
They were hold on. They were ninety seven and sixty four,
but they finished second in the Al East. So back
in those days, they didn't have five wild cards.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think they did.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
I think those three guys they did, like I don't know,
two or three, maybe four years with.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
The Yankee Doug in North Carolina, Good morning, Doug, what's
on your mind?

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Well, first, Marvin, if you look at that team in
the eighty five Yankees, I think Ricky went m I
A for like a week.

Speaker 7 (13:11):
He just went.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
He just disappeared for a while.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
That's right, That's right. What am I talking about? I
was there with those Yankees. Fully almost said, holy holy leap,
oh my god.

Speaker 8 (13:25):
I won and suggest a snarky hour two poll question.
This is based on yesterday's show. You talked about a
pick a Ball movie coming out, and later you debated
where the Bowling Hall of Fame is. My question is
of the two, which one requires the most athletic ability

(13:46):
a pickle ball or bowling. My vote because I took
it as a course in college. My vote goes for bowling.
If you see somebody who knows how to actually pick
up splits and curve the ball, that's that's the talent
I'm never going to have. I think I can play
pickle bowl.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Ok, thank you, Doug. I do walk by. There's a
pickleball court. I walk by, and I just I kind
of want to see who's playing and how competitive it is,
because the one time I did play, when we were
on vacation, we're at this this health spa that my
wife goes, let's go.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
And it, you know, we can take pilates and yoga
and have great food and just relax.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
And I said, okay, And she's saying it in a
voice that you would hear if you were in a spa,
and it would be well, just have a relaxing time
and it'll be great and no alcohol, by the way,
And I go, what, what, How.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Can I have fun?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Hun And that's when we walked by a pickleball court
and the two women from Greenwich, Connecticut, we're on the
other side. They had played many times. We had never played.
My wife says, let's play. Don't get competitive. We're on vacation.
And then all of a sudd and they got competitive and
good time. Danny all of a sudden changed. He left

(15:06):
him in the parking lot.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's when I started to fire shots back into the
kitchen there and yeah, hey, gladys, there's more of that.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Oh my wife was She was so appalled.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
She was like, oh my god, stop it. I said, Hun,
I'm not I'm going to teach them a lesson.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
She goes, oh my god, I'm going to teach them
a lesson.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
And I did. And then they didn't even come to
the net to shake our hands. So last I look,
teen Patrick one ladies from Greenwich, Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Zero one, big zero. How about we take a break.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
How did you feel after that? Dub I felt? How
was the ride home after such a massive victory?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh no, no, we're on the on the grounds there
for the spot.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, how was the walk home?

Speaker 8 (15:59):
Very?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
You know why did you go get a massage and
chill out a little bit?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
No, no it was she said. I booked you a
seaweed something where they wrap you in seaweed.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Oh, delightful.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, and I think she wanted the seaweed over my
mouth as well. But she was just like, as we're
walking back to our cabin, she's not saying anything, and
I'm I'm I'm trying to engage. I'm going man, I
had some good shots, man, I did you know what?

Speaker 3 (16:31):
She didn't have a good backhand. And then my wife
finally we got there.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
And she goes, are you done? I said yes, and
she goes, Okay, don't do that again. I said, okay,
so I'm not going to play pickleball again. I'm gonna
honor my wife's Mark Sanchez said, to join us. We'll
get to more phone calls as well. We're back after
this on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has

poll results if you can, Seaton.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, we got up there right now.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
A Dallas Cowboys poll question, Okay, are the Cowboys as
Super Bowl contender? Your options are absolutely, kind of but
not really or lool no right now lol No has
jumped up to seventy seven percent of that vote. People
who think that the Cowboys are absolutely a super Bowl contender.
That is one point three percent of the audience.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Springing Mark Sanchez, Fox NFL analyst. He's in Chicago. He
is getting ready for the Rams and the Bears on
Fox on Sunday at one eastern. How would you answer
the poll question about the Cowboys being Super Bowl contenders?

Speaker 7 (17:47):
I think it's way too early to tell. I think, gosh,
we they didn't play well last night, as most of
these teams tend to do on Thursday. It's a short week.
Heem looked great, but they found a way to get
an ugly win. But I need to back up a second.
Dan I'm sorry. Fritzie gets me on the show. It

(18:11):
says come hang out, and he's a no show. You're
down to the Danette, Yeah, what's going on? Well, you're
like the Rams, You're like the Rams.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
No Cooper co I wouldn't put him in that category.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I think it's kind of like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
I'm not sure what I have or I don't have.
So those are those are my two guys that are
missing in action. But they're visiting family, so they have
legitimate excuses. They happen to do it on the same day,
all right. So I'm just curious about the Cowboys as
they move forward. I know we focus on them, yeah

(18:50):
too much. But you have cd LAM and you have DAK.
They don't have a running game. They're not very good
at stopping the run. Their secondary continues to get banged up.
And I'm looking at the schedule the next six games
they have, and they're playing against six playoff contenders.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
I think because they have the talent on offense, the
score points, it's an offensive league, they're always going to
be competitive. I think what really hurt them, not necessarily
last night, but last Sunday. If you go back and
watch that Ravens game, they were so far out of
the game and then they started chasing points. It was

(19:30):
like a fourth and fourteen or something, and they went
for it when they were in field goal range. They
got a field goal kicker who's elite. I mean, this
dude can knock it from the locker room and make
it so you crossed the fifty and you're already thinking alert.
We got three points potentially in the back. So that's
going to keep them competitive. Plus, as you mentioned, the

(19:52):
Cowboys are always in the Super Bowl Hunt unless they're like,
oh and fifteen, they're always you know somebody we're going
to talk about. That's just who they are now. So
the biggest thing in this league, and we've talked about
this before, but these are one score games. One score
games in the fourth quarter, and if you can keep
it there, more games are lost and give it away

(20:13):
by the other team or mismanage clock, timeouts, you know,
time management stuff. Then they're actually one you know what
I mean. Sometimes you got to go down and v
s Antonio Holmes in the back of the end zone
super Bowl and go win the game. When that happens,
everybody's just firing on all cylinders. You know, you're kind
of throwing caution to the win and you're just throwing
the ball all over the yard. That's fine, it's desperation.

(20:36):
You're trying to win. But these other games, for the
most part, you got to just keep it close. And
because they have the offensive firepower, I think they really
can go deep. It's just you're gonna need some help
on first down. You're gonna need some help with that
run game. Don't put Dak in third and ten. You know,
drive after drive series after series, and.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I don't know if you know the sample size of
the first three weeks. Team are running the football, Oh,
no doubt. And I don't know. I mean, you've got
a game with the Rams and the Bears, and I
don't know if you know who's winning is going to
be predicated on running the football. But we're starting to
see and feels like, you know what, the safeties are

(21:17):
playing so deep. I mean they did this homes it.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
That was the year. Remember for seven weeks we're like,
oh that was it. Patrick flamed out. He's no good anymore.
You can't dink and dunk. Well he figured that out
pretty quick, you know what I mean. So you're one
hundred percent right. And if I can just go in
that vein, you have to tailor your system. You're off

(21:41):
in the old days. Let's go quickly. I'd hand you
a playbook. It's this thick Hey, run my system, and
I'm gonna get the best players I can to run
that system. Now, these systems, you want guys together over
a long period of time, because that original playbook is
going to evolve over time. It's gonna grow, it's gonna change,
it's gonna experience things and change with the players. A

(22:02):
core group of players that you try and keep together
that can run certain things really well, and then you
get counters off of stuff, then you get you know,
the sizzle plays whatever. Well. These guys in Los Angeles,
Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford are in lockstep. It is
incredible to watch them play. He understands the play caller's

(22:24):
purpose as soon as it comes in the headset, and
he's already anticipating what's coming next. They're so good together.
They for the first time since mcvey's been there, since
twenty seventeen. Whatever it is, ran twelve personnel, one back,
two tight ends, two wide receivers. Why Cooper's gone and
Pooka's gone. Those guys are such They're straight up gangsters.

(22:46):
In the run game. They basically act like tight end
so they can run eleven, which is a three wide
receiver set, one back, one tight end. They've been used
to running eleven sets or eleven personnel sets and letting
those guys go in, dig out, linebackers safe whatever. They
didn't have that anymore. You can't do that with two
two out. Well, that's not he's out of his weight class.
Trying to do that. So what do we do keep

(23:08):
those guys spread out? Bringing Hunter Long, a journeyman tight
end from Boston College who is in Miami first now
here finally healthy, gets some blocking, and Kolbe Parkinson, a
guy who knows their system from Shane Waldron and the
Seattle Seahawks. They ran almost exclusively twelve last week and
won a game for the first time that they've ever
done that. So what I mean by these playbooks evolving,

(23:30):
that's a perfect example of tailoring your system to what
you have and hanging around to the fourth quarter. The
week before in Arizona, the Rams got embarrassed, just flat
out embarrassed. They had run eleven ten offensive plays and
they were down twenty one points. Thing was just a
runaway train and they were left at the station chilling.

(23:51):
The next week, the Niners go fourteen to nothing. They
had only run three offensive plays. I called both games
back to back, and I'm literally looking at Adam and Meme,
my partner. I go, oh boy, here we go again.
And then they make one special teams play. They score
right before halftime. They get the ball out of the
half like it just started to turn so fast, and

(24:12):
you could tell they learned the lesson from the week before.
Not that they're perfect, but they learned the lesson from
the week before. Don't let this thing get away from us,
hang around till the end, and with somebody like Matt Stafford,
Dak Prescott back to your Cowboys question, You're gonna have
a chance, but you gotta keep it close early and
these early games, these early games that the Chiefs seem

(24:33):
to win that the really good teams later in the
year like, oh, they got home field advantage again. This
is where you win home field advantage the first five
six weeks of the season, bottom line, that's where that's
where it happens. How do you do that? You stay close,
keep it close, keep it a one score game till
the fourth quarter, and then take your shot.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Talking to Mark Sanchez, he's in Chicago preparing to call
the Rams Bears. That'll be kick off one Eastern. Do
you have your hair in a bun?

Speaker 8 (25:00):
I do?

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Turn around? So we said I look like they got
when I parted like real hard. Kay Adams the other
day said I look like Colon Crisp. Remember kindergarten cop,
the bad guy just crushed me.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, congratulations, you could wear your hair in a bun.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
Thanks man. Yeah, I was going for more of it,
like an Antonio bandette.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh Okay, it didn't really work.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
It didn't really work out. Talk about your all time backfires.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
If I'm a Bears fan and I'm seeing Caleb Williams, Yeah,
what kind of feeling should I have so far with
what you've seen of him?

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Listen, it's a work in progress. The first thing I
said his very first game in the league is patience,
and nobody seems to have that regardless of what we're
talking about in the world. I don't care if it's politics,
sports finance, like, it doesn't matter. Everybody wants it and
they want instant grits. That's not the way you develop
a quarterback. That's not the way this league works. So

(26:04):
are there a couple quick fixes that can really help
him out? Absolutely? I think they can help him on
first down running the ball. We talked about teams running
the ball. They're not running the ball well. Bottom line,
I think DeAndre Swift is a great complimentary back. I
think he's he can be the guy who comes in
and gives you more of a spark. But Khalil Herbert

(26:26):
and Roshawan Johnson have to be their main powerbacks. They
love to run this outside zone because it's a Shane
Waldron system. And if you can run outside zone, you
have athletic enough tackles and guards that can move and
get on the move quickly. So you can't tell me
these guys can't hold up in the past game. They

(26:47):
should be able to slide and move, which they like
to do in their protections all the time. The problem
is they have more pre snap penalties then. I mean,
just about anybody I've seen, there's you know, first and fifteen.
I want to see first and fifteen. If I see
first and fifteen once in four games, that's too many times,
you know what I mean As a coordinator, and I'm
being critical obviously, but you put your your rookie quarterback

(27:10):
behind the eight ball like that to start off drives.
It's just like a pitcher going, uh, you know, three
to zero. I mean, what do you think they expect
on third and fifteen, and then because he's so competitive,
because he's so talented, on third and fifteen backed up
in his own area, Yeah, I can make this throw.
And dude, if anybody knows what the guy's going through.

(27:31):
It's your boy in a bun here, are you kidding me?
I've done the exact same thing thirty times, like easily
thirty times, and I got it. I can make it.
I can make dude dump it to the back. Cut bait.
Move on with your life. Your job is to put
the ball in play and put it on the defense.
Make them tackle. Just see what happens. Even like, think

(27:54):
about this. He's had five turnovers in the last two games. Okay,
they've lost both of those games. The first game he
had no turnovers, did not play well, but they won
the game. If you don't give it away. Once again,
more games are given away than they are one. If
you don't give it away, Caleb, your boys are going
to be in a chance. You're gonna have a chance

(28:15):
to win this thing. And they kept it a six
point game for the bulk of the game against Houston
two weeks ago. We're in it to win it, baby.
They had a chance and they couldn't get anything going
on offense. Okay, then give it away. Just don't give
it to him. Let your guys at least have a chance.
And I think that's what they're still working through. Caleb's

(28:36):
still working through some of that, and I think they have.
They're in a difficult position because he is so talented
and so good. You don't want to take it away
from him. You want him to develop, you want him
to understand the game, but you also don't need him
to be superman all the time. And he's still, you know,
battling with that. He's wrestling with when it's time to

(28:58):
turn it on, when it's time to make the throw,
and when it's time to just hang back, distribute and
see what happened.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Is it fair as we move forward that Caleb is
always going to be compared to Jaden Daniels and vice versa.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
Well, of course, And I mean as soon as one
one one player type, like you know, rookie quarterback, and
you're going to compare the guy's new system, you know,
franchise it's been struggling. Oh it's the same thing. Well,
it's not totally the same thing. The thing that's different
about Jaden Well, one, you know, I'm not trying to

(29:34):
be Debbie Downer. He had an incredible game last week
National TV against a a Cincinnati defense. It's not playing
very well, so okay, call what you want. He got
out of trouble a lot with his legs. The dude
has elite speed. We watched him at LSU pull away
from really fast defenders and just take off for seventy yards.

(29:57):
So that I mean, that's a little something. That's something
that Caleb doesn't quite have. He doesn't have that like
Jayden has like a step on him that way, if
that makes sense. So he's gonna get out of some trouble.
And that's where Caleb might make one of those throws
that goes the other way, the old boomerang ball, right,
you throw it one way and there goes back the
other way. So for Jaden, listen, I don't want to

(30:20):
anoint the guy too early, and I don't want to
say he didn't play well. He did play well, but
is that going to be your sustainable way to play?
He's got a rush for one hundred yards like every week.
That's really really hard to do. So yes, Unfortunately, he
will be compared to those guys just like me and
Matt Stafford were in two thousand and nine. Joe Flacco,
Matt Ryan rookie quarterbacks in two thousand and eight make

(30:42):
the playoffs. Me and Matt Stafford were like, well, they
did it, you gotta do it. But their teams weren't
good last year. You should. Whether that's fair or not,
it doesn't matter. But you sign up for everything when
you play this position.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
He's a man in a bun, He's a man in
his hotel room in Chicago, and he'll be in the
booth on Sunday and won't wait.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Wait, are you going to be in that new series

Speaker 7 (31:56):
I'm driving through the canon.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Can't hear about your Your wife's on set with Glenn single?

Speaker 7 (32:01):

Speaker 2 (32:08):

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Thank you, Mark, that's Mark Sanchowz sho us on. Damn,
I've been on a movie set before.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
It. Mark, don't play with your bun, Mark Sanchez. I'm
just saying, been on a set. I'm staring Jennifer Aniston
in the eyes, and vice versa. Things happen, Marks are flying, Yes,
they are. Things happen when you're on this set. All right,

(32:46):
we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up, and we'll
get to those right after this.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart That's Radio wapp.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Darren Revel, founder of collect He's been following the show.
Heyo Tani fiftieth home run ball and it was up
for auction, going to auction. Then maybe it was not,
and mil maybe it's back. So Darren Revel joining us
on the program to update us. So where do we
stand with show Heyo Tani home run ball number fifty

(33:22):
going to auction.

Speaker 10 (33:23):
Dan, we are one hour and thirteen minutes away from
the auction starting. What happened was last Thursday. I think
a lot of people, like histories came so quick that
I think a lot of people didn't know, Like people
were not going to the game to watch the fifty
to fifty happen right day game Marlin's they're getting ready

(33:46):
to go to Dodger Stadium for a six game homestand
he's not gonna do it.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
He wouldn't even do he won't, he's not even gonna try.

Speaker 10 (33:55):
So I don't think fans were ready. And obviously he
gets a home run of the sixth forty nine, and
then he gets a home run in the seven, he's
stolen two bases, so it became fifty to fifty. I
don't think everyone when that went into the left field,
I didn't. I don't think a lot of people really
were aware. You know, when you're at a game, you
don't know, So it goes in, guy has a chance

(34:17):
to catch it, misses, falls down. Guy comes across, looks
like he has it, and then there's kind of a
scrum with him and a kid, and he picks it
up and he holds it and then he goes away
and it's his ball. But soon after the kid said
I had it and he wrestled it out. Now this
might be a little bit too long, but it's really good,

(34:37):
so you'll have to cut a commercial.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
Ah, okay.

Speaker 10 (34:40):
So in two thousand and one, when I was covering
the Barry Bonds home run story where for well two
thousand and one, it was seventy three the seventy three,
one guy caught it. There was then a scrum and
another guy picked it up. The court ruled that both
of them had possession and both of them owned it
because the guy who wound up with it didn't assault

(35:04):
the guy who caught it, he didn't touch him. There
was a scrum, he lost it technically, and then he
had it. So you have two owners here. It's hard
to say there's two owners. There's one guy who caught
it or one guy who had it originally, and there's
one guy who stole it. This kid eighteen year old
kid turned eighteen on fifty to fifty on that day,

(35:25):
went to the courthouse foul in the lawsuit says it's mine.
Tried to get a temporary restraining order yesterday. They said, no,
the auction can go ahead, but you cannot actually sell
the ball until we meet in court and see if
there's a trial here.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Well, wait a minute, so it's gone to auction. You
can you can buy it.

Speaker 10 (35:44):
You cannot buy it immediately. So the auction year originally
said if you want this for four point five million dollars,
you can buy it immediately. The court said you can't
buy it now. You can bid on it, and you
can bid on it until the auction closes on October sixteenth.
The next hearing is October tenth, so we'll take all
the bids. October tenth, we'll talk about whether this goes

(36:07):
to trial or not. So I think they made the
right decision here because the longer you take, the less
valuable it is. So it's better for both for both
parties to.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
Get this thing going.

Speaker 10 (36:21):
I don't think he's doing sixty sixty, but I'm just
saying it's top of mind.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Bidding starts at twelve noon, no no money.

Speaker 10 (36:32):
Wise five hundred thousand dollars, which means with the buyer's premium,
which is the extra cost you have to pay, it's
six hundred and ten thousand dollars. So with the first bid,
it'll be the sixth most valuable home run ball ever
behind McGuire seventy. So that was three million, the judge
sixty two one.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
Point five million.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
There was a Babe Ruth nineteen thirty three All Star
home run eight hundred five thousand, missing one. But then
there's Hank Aaron's final home run ball that's over six
or fifty thousand. So with one bid, this is the
sixth most valuable home run ball of all time.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
What's McGuire's home run ball worth?

Speaker 10 (37:12):
Probably one hundred and fifty grand one. That's so for
three million, I will I will say this though, Todd
McFarlane bought a bunch of those balls for five million
dollars um. He got twenty five million in publicity, and
he would have got one hundred million if it was
in the social media era, so let's write off those costs.
He was doing the spawn thing. He was getting into

(37:34):
figurines and sports figurines. So I think he got his
money's worth.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
What's bonds ballworth?

Speaker 8 (37:40):
Now?

Speaker 10 (37:42):
You know, I don't know that that Yeah, that that ball.
Actually that's the one I missed. That ball went for
I think like seven hundred and seventy thousand. Oh, you're
talking about the seventy three or the seventy.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Six seventy three.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
So the story with.

Speaker 10 (37:58):
The seventy three is these fought for three years and
it was probably worth a million dollars when they started.
At the end, it's sold for two hundred and twenty
five thousand, and then they had to split it, so
it was two twenty five back then. I don't think
a lot of people are buying it, but those guys
probably had a net loss when you consider all their layeraphies.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Good to talk to you, Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Darren. That's Darren Ravelle, founder of collect cl LCT, and
he'll be following that auction.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, I didn't know that you had to wait.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
You can bid on this, but you got to wait
a few weeks before being able to take it home.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Alan Atlanta, Hi, Alan, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (38:40):
Good morning Dan, Good morning Marvin, Good morning Seaton.

Speaker 11 (38:43):
Happy to meet Friday. I am calling because I'm sure
you've heard there's a lot of talking about super Bowl
fifty nine being here in Atlanta. The sad part is
you are choosing to retire on Christmas Eve before that
Super Bowl, and I'm calling to beg you to you
can retire like Christmasy retirement beautiful thing. I'm calling to

(39:06):
beg you for just a week long pop up at
the super Bowl if it's here in Atlanta, because the
last time I was here in Atlanta, I was lucky
enough to get a ticket to Meet Friday, but then
I slipped in mud at work on Thursday night and
dislocated my shoulder and was in the hospital until two
am because they wouldn't let me go because they put

(39:27):
me under anesthesia to pop it back in place.

Speaker 8 (39:29):
And I didn't get.

Speaker 11 (39:30):
The email until nine oh five the next morning, when
you guys were already in the show and I was
just hoping for a chance to get another Meet Friday ticket.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
M Well, yeah, maybe I'll do that just for you,
al for no other reason than you know, you get
to see us at the super Bowl. You guys okay
with them, just to pop up super Bowl visit there
in Atlanta. Yeah, and me and al we can both
run while black together.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Seaton, Yeah, I mean it does. It does make some
sense to you know.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Do you end the year theoretically on December twenty seventh,
or do you go through the super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (40:10):
It does, It does make some sense.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
I'm not trying to count your time for you.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Sounds like it, Magic Wings. I'm good with whatever you
want to do. Thank you.
