trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You know, I'm
starting to get it's not hate mail, hate email, but Marvin,
(00:28):
some people are coming after you because of your music
choices for stat of the Day. To answer, well, let
me get to Steven Michigan. Hi, Steve, Marvin is here
to listen to your complaint for Play of the day.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A first time or long time VERSTI sixty five? Not
about the music, yeah, not about the music. It's oh it's.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Uh, I forgot about never mind, Steve. Okay, buddy, Yeah,
Marvin your responsority.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Steve, do you need help? Do you need us to
send the authorities?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know, Marvin's got a complaint with you, Steve, don't
call in again until you get your act together. We're
a professional organization here.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
He needs to worry about that more so than my play.
The day selection, Yeah or stat of the day. Okay,
welcome to the program. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock. Yes,
Todd is back.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The king of comedy is back with us, ready to go,
and he will make up for the last you know,
last three days he wasn't able to join us, and
he promises to be extra funny today. May be waiting
a while, uh seating us here, Marvin and Paulie as
well yours truly, we got basketball coming up in two hours.
Congratulations to Xavier gets by Texas, Mount Saint Mary's beats American.
(01:55):
There is this ground swell for North Carolina and now
the number of analysts I heard yesterday walk back. Probably
a lot of their comments. They're like, hey, you know what,
they're sneaky good? Okay? Should they Did they deserve to
get in the tournament or not?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like that's the only question I have.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You can be a good team, a sneaky team, but
not be good enough to get into the tournament. Jim
Beheim has North Carolina going I think to the Sweet sixteen,
maybe the Elite eight, but everybody seems to be walking
back a little bit with North Carolina. North Carolina should
be good. You know this isn't high Point. It's North Carolina.
(02:39):
We look surprised, sound surprised. Where we go, Hey Carolina,
they could be a bracketbuster. Okay, underdog, gritty gutty underdog.
It's not Drake, it's North Carolina. Like a feel good story.
They become a feel good story as an underdog here. Yes, Bow, there.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Has to be blame for this, like North Carolina barely
making the tournament they used to recruit they would probably
pass on top recruits ten years ago, twenty years ago,
or Syracuse not making it for four years. This has
to be anil based that spreads the talent around.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, North Carolina lost one of their best players to Arizona,
who was a Caleb Love ended up like you know,
who would have thought that North Carolina would lose a
player to Arizona. But this is a whole different era
here and Hubert Davis and you know, I even saw
where some analysts were like, you know, mate, should they
move on from Hubert Davis? Well, he's a tar heel.
(03:35):
You just gave him a contract extension. Weren't they in
the title game? What last year or the year before?
So I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon. And
I don't think he should. But this man, Carolina, we
don't know what's going on. I mean, let's just be honest,
total transparency. For the most part. Even if you watch
(03:55):
college basketball all year long, something happens in March where
you go, it's unexplainable, and you'll have somebody's coming out
of nowhere. Happens every single year, and there's going to
be a number one seed where you go, oh.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
My god, they got bounced early, yes, Martin.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And in the NCAA tournament. All it takes is one
bad game or on the other side, have a Cinderella,
have just one great game to get high from three
point range and that's it for your season.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We got a garage sale going on. Everything on sale
at danpatrick dot com. We're clearing out inventory for the
spring and everything must go eight seven to seven to three.
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
DP show. Dina Racini has done a great job in
the off season as an NFL insider for the Athletics.
She'll join us coming up here in a little bit.
(04:47):
And she had a report on Aaron Rodgers. ESPN had
a report on Aaron Rodgers. I'm not sure kind of
where this story is headed or even where it is
right now, but it felt like the Vikings weren't interested
in Aaron Rodgers, and then it felt like they're interested maybe,
(05:08):
And I'm like, either you are or you're not. So
I thought Diana Russini can join us and we can
talk to her about are the Vikings waiting for something?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And if they are, what are they waiting for?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And as a result, is Aaron Rodgers either going to
the Vikings or going into retirement? But also you have
the Brown situation, the Steelers situation. Russell Wilson is still
out there. There's still some there's chairs available in the
musical chairs with quarterbacks here, but we're running out of
(05:41):
music and we're running out of chairs, all right, So
later today tonight Houston, Auburn, Tennessee. Saint John's among the
luminaries that will be playing. Also Rick Patino and Saint
John's feels like a feel good story, Like Patino feels
like a feel good story. And who would have thought
that if you go back to what happened in Louisville
(06:01):
he was coaching in Greece. I remember when he came
back and he got the job at Saint John's and
I said to Fritzi, I said, reach out to Patino.
And I think it was Saint John's. I don't think
it was Iona. But he went from cross Town. We
were in New York and he wanted to be on
the show. Was he going to IONA or Saint John's. Fritzi,
(06:23):
do you remember that day?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I have to check.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I thought he was going to Iona, but you may
be right. But he goes and he spends two years
and then he turns a team around. That's his mo.
He's done that every place he goes. Now, was he
a great NBA coach? No, but he's the kind of
coach that's a control freak and college he can control,
he can make you play his style. He has different styles.
(06:46):
But Jim Beheim was saying, if you're going to say
coach K's the greatest coach, let's take John Wooden out
of it. Rick Patino's right there with coach Mike Kryzewski.
That is high praise from a Hall of Fame coach
in Jim Beheim.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Yes, Marvin, and.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I think it's the combination of Patino and Saint John's
both making a comeback, because, like you said, Saint John's,
I don't ever remember Saint John's being this good. I
remember a couple of years of our test years, but
never like this. So it seems like both of these
entities have just you know, making big comebacks this season.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, and it's a big deal in New York.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Therefore you got the media capital and everybody writing about
Saint John's and Rick Patino. But it is a really
good story. If you get an opportunity, and you didn't
see that thirty for thirty on the Big East, watch
it and you'll understand basketball in New York at that
time in the eighties. Saint John's, Georgetown, Villanova, Syracuse, just
(07:43):
to name a few of these schools.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Yes, Tom, and when he goes white on white with
that suit, look out, that is just that's trouble.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's terrible.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
That is terrible.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
You're like the Tony Monaro syn night fever. Look, No,
it's not trouble. It's troubleling.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Eight seven seven three DP show email address, DPA, dan
Patrick dutt on Twitter handled and shot the show. It's terrible. Look,
I lived through the disco era on the back end
of the disco era, and I had a couple of bad,
bad outfits. I mean they felt like they were bad
in the moment, and then all of a sudden, you
(08:24):
see him after the fact, and you go, oh my god,
no wonder a woman didn't talk to me. And all
of a sudden, you're walking up platform shoes at bell bottom,
pants on, tight shirt, hair parted down the middle. Yeah, yeah,
well that says a lot about you.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Todd Yes Ball.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
The IT team looked back to find when Rick Patino
debuted the white Suit. It was a winter of two
thousand and eight with Louisville, and he said he'd had
it for a while and been waiting for the right time.
The right time was when your team was thirty one
and six. That's the perfect time to debut it. By
the way, three months after he debuted the White Suit,
they won the NCAA title.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Mm boom m hmm. Who has How far do you
have Saint John's going? I have I think I have
them an Elite eight.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I do them in the Elite eight too, Elite eight, Marvin, I.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Have them winning the national title.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I do think.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
You know I was close to doing that too.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
Well, you know, who I have them have knocking out
Saint John's North Carolina, not Seaton Hall I wish. Unfortunately
they're not available. Marvin's Yukon Huskies. Oh wow, Yeah that's.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Right, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, you believe.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm not really sure why because I either think they're
going to lose in the first round or win the
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Same.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
It's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You can't believe, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
I have Johnny's eighty three Dukes seventy seven in the
national title game.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
Store.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, we are so in the bubble.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
That's in the bubble right now.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, yeah, what's the pole question for our two Seaton
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If I ask you that or not.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Uh well, let me see.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Let me give you hour one because we have a
brotherly shove in there. Is that a football play or
a rugby play?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Right now?
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Sixty five percent of the audience have that as a
rugby play?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Rugby play? Yeah? Yeah, uh you know what.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
We go here, here's another one for Paulie. We might
as well just based on what we were talking about. Are
you rooting for or against Saint John's and Rick Patino
Hm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think it's a great story. Rick is complicated. I've
known Ricks since the mid eighties, and but but he's
always been recognized as one of the great coaches in basketball.
He just never days very long at places. But you
(11:03):
know that there are a lot of guys who are
like that that they just think, hey, I did this,
fix this. Now, let me go to the next team,
and then the next team and then the next team.
If they had gotten Tim Duncan, who knows what kind
of coach he would have been in the NBA. By
the way, Bill Simmons documentary on the Celtics is wonderful,
(11:23):
even if you don't like the Celtics. There is so
much footage, interviews, Bill Russell read arback, Bob Coosey's wonderful
and so far what I've seen, it's great. The first
two episodes been really wonderful. You get an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
There is.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Jerry west Is on there in the first episode and he,
like you can see in his eyes, it hurt him
to the day he died that he couldn't eat the Celtics.
It's still so fresh. He's talking about a game in
(12:04):
nineteen sixty two where Frank Selvy has an open fifteen
footer and it was still bothering Jerry when they interviewed him,
and probably interviewed him, you know, not long before he died.
The look in his eyes and he talks about being
a wolf when he's on the floor. You don't bleep
(12:24):
with the wolf. It's so personal and painful as well.
And I remember those Celtics teams were great. They just
they were just a little bit better than the Lakers.
But Jerry, to his dying day, still painful, all right, Yes, Marvin, And.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
You saw some of those NBA Finals with the Celtics
against Wilt Chamberlain's Warriors or the Lakers with Jerry Weston
Elgin Baylor. Those games were coming down to the wire,
game seven, so it was like they were just barely
so it wasn't like they were sweeping them or anything
like that. And it was just like they were saying
the difference between Russell and Chamberlain was Russell was trying
to win and that was bothering Wilt Chamberlain also, and
(13:09):
rout Uarback just kind of sticking it to Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Until he died.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yes, Yeah, he just said there was a difference between
Russell and Chamberlain of their approach. Bill Russell wasn't about
his numbers. He was about winning. And I think Red
you know, was saying that Wilt was about his numbers.
Russell was about winning the game. But great footage in there,
and uh, you know a lot of great interviews as well. Uh,
(13:35):
Tyler in Portland, Hi, Tyler, went's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Oh my god, we need a ceasefire on Pandora brother
for a charity of your choice. Not to play that.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
So the singer Pandora, not Pandora the music site.
Speaker 8 (13:54):

We have some quick NBA news, so we're gonna call
it the NBA News game, a little fill in the blank, Okay,
all right, all right, perfect Marvin, all right, Uh managing
Bill Chisholm, I think that's his name. Chisholm, managing partner
of Symphony Technology Group, has agreed to purchase Blank or
(14:56):

team was bought this morning? And for how much?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Here's a hint.
Speaker 7 (15:05):

American history.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Any sports. The Celtics Celtics is correct.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Oh, okay, Celtics have been sold this morning.
Speaker 4 (15:16):

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Okay, wow, Marvin, I'll start with you. What do the
Celtics cost?

six point one billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Got some teams making proposals. Packers still want to get
rid of the Brotherly Shove, the Lions looking at a
new format for seating in the tournament as well the playoffs,
so a lot of things going on. The NFL is
always in play, certainly with the quarterbacking situations given what's
going on with the Giants and the Browns and the Steelers,
the Vikings, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Diana Rossini, the Athletics
(18:24):
senior NFL insider, co host of the Athletics Scoop City
podcast with Chase Daniel. First of all, you've done a
wonderful job. You've done a wonderful job here in the
off season, not to say you don't do it in
the regular season, but did want to have you on
to say that great work. Now give us the latest tier.
Let's start with Aaron Rodgers, because there were conflicting reports yesterday.
(18:46):
Were the Vikings interested? Are they still interested in Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Hi?
Speaker 13 (18:51):
Well, first of all, thank you, happy spring. We made it, buddy.
We're here just the fact that it's pouring in our region.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
But we'll take it right as it just fell a
really long winter. And you sound annoyed by the quarterback
carousel situation here a little bit.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
Are you the Steelers? Are you the Giants? Are you
talking to them? Because I can tell you that they are.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
They're they're pretty annoyed by all this as they're just
waiting and you know, everyone knows the tell at this
point that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants
are both very interested in Aaron Rodgers. Rogers knows what
kind of contract that both teams are offering, and the
Minnesota Vikings spent i'd said, probably the last week and
a half or so having really serious discussions about what
(19:36):
this would mean for this team moving forward if they
were to bring Aaron Rodgers on.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
And you had a lot of people in that building in.
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Favor of Rogers after watching some film of him, and
you know, those guys know a lot about him, They
have good relationships with Rogers, and so there were certainly
many people with Minnesota who believe that bringing Aaron Rodgers
in this season was the best.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
Thing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
And I think from their perspective, it's, well, you don't
get extra points winning a super Bowl because you want
it with your draft pick, with you because you want
it with the young quarterback. They built this team in
free agency, and you have to give them so much
credit with how they've built this Vikings team on paper.
At this point right now, I think it's really reasonable
to say that this is a super Bowl, super Bowl
(20:25):
caliber team.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
They just need the quarterback.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
And the fact that the Vikings have now made the
decision to table this to say, okay, we want to
give JJ McCarthy an opportunity. This spring tells me that
Kevin O'Connell has hitched his wagon into JJ McCarthy and
believes that this player is the future of the Minnesota Vikings,
(20:50):
that he is the absolute best option over let's say,
a future Hall of Famer in Aaron Rodgers. So serious
discussions happened, but Kevin O'Connell came to the decision that
he believes that JJ McCarthy gives the Vikings a much
better chance at winning than Aaron Rodgers does.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
At this point, well, okay, this is what I was
told yesterday. Kevin he knows he can mold JJ McCarthy.
He's not molding Aaron Rodgers. And does Aaron Rodgers style
of play fit with what Kevin wants with his offense?
And I was told that it's not necessarily a great marriage.
It's Aaron Rodgers and the high high that you can
(21:34):
get could be a super Bowl. But Kevin has he
is showing confidence in JJ McCarthy, and he wants to
make sure that he that McCarthy doesn't lose, you know,
going through rehab. He wants to make sure he understands
I got rid of Sam Darnold. You're my guy, but
I'm doing my due diligence that probably ownership is asking
him to do.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Yeah, he's it's beyond confidence in JJ McCarthy. If he's
making this decision, he is hitching his wagon to JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 13 (22:03):
As JJ McCarthy goes.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
The Minnesota Vikings now go because they had an opportunity
to bring in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
And to the point that you're making.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Of well, he doesn't fit in this style of offense.
I think Kevin O'Connell, the Coach of the Year, has
proven that he can make any quarterback fit and find
their best qualities to get the most out of them.
I think that's Kevin's best trait. He is so adaptable.
He is able to figure out pretty quickly what the
(22:33):
strengths of these quarterbacks are. And we've talked on this
show so many times about the Rogers experience in New York,
and while I don't ever I never thought it was
the right fit. I always understood what New York was doing.
When you think about fit, when you think about personality.
When you think about what a player like Aaron Rodgers
(22:55):
needs around him at this point in his career, he
does need somebody that he really truly respects and can
hold him accountable. And in my opinion, I think that's
Kevin O'Connell. I think there's probably about five coaches in
football right now that I would say yep, that works right,
Like Andy Reid can handle Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vrabel, Mike Tomlin,
(23:15):
Sean McVay, Kevin O'Connell. Those are five off the top
of my head that I feel very comfortable saying Aaron
Rodgers respects. And I think Rogers is looking at the
situation right now, going I wanted to play for the
Rams that didn't work out, what's the next best And
based on these offseason moves, Minnesota is, without a doubt
(23:36):
the best option for Aaron Rodgers. And so now you
have the Pittsburgh Steelers who don't have a plan past
Mason Rudolph, who are just waiting to hear from Aaron Rodgers.
And you know, the Giants would probably love this opportunity.
But I think in their building, they know what's happening here.
They know that they're probably not the prom queen here
(23:57):
in this situation. So to me, the biggest takeaway was
the Minnesota Vikings have very strong belief and confidence that
JJ McCarthy is the guy, yet they're still going to
discuss Aaron Rodgers. Rogers is still on their radar, so
they need to learn something this spring. I don't know
(24:18):
what that is, but they need to see something. And Agan,
you've been doing this a long time. What is spring football?
Speaker 13 (24:25):
Not much? Right Like, you don't know too much.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
It's pretty easy, laid back, but I think they want
to see where he's at physically, where he's at mentally.
There's a lot in play here before they really make
their decision that they're officially done with Aaron Rodgers, because
there's no in or out on Rodgers.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
It's just for right now.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Diana Rossini, the Athletics senior NFL insider co host of
the Athletics Scoop City with Chase Daniel. I thought the
Steelers were going to bring back justin Field, so I
thought that made sense.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Maybe it's a bridge quarterback, but.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm kind of surprised the Steelers aren't acting like the
Steelers and saying to Aaron Rodgers dude, at the end
of the business day, you're either in or you're out.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
We're the Steelers. You want to play.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's a privilege to play for the Steelers and a
Hall of Fame coach and Mike Tomlin, TJ. Watt, Mika Fitzpatrick,
Cam Hayward. We brought in DK Metcalf. You make up
your mind and then if not, we're moving on. But
you allow Justin Fields to get out of the building.
I don't know if you can bring Russ back. But
(25:34):
where do the Steelers stand with this whole mess?
Speaker 13 (25:38):
Where are they going? Dan? What do you mean they
have no choice?
Speaker 10 (25:42):
Like you want Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan to call
Aaron Rodgers today and say, whe're the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Are you in or you out?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I'm Aaron Rodgers. I'm going.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Okay, Okay, I'm out If you don't want to wait
for me, because what are your options for?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What am I waiting for? You're the Steelers? I mean,
is it is money involved in this? Or is it
just the chance to be with a better team, a
chance to play in an NFC North and win a
Super Bowl? I mean, is that what this is all?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Okay, Yeah, this is this is Aaron.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
This is Aaron Rodgers going. Okay, the Vikings are telling
me right now that they're not in, but they're not
taking it off the table. Do I sit here and
just be patient and just wait to see if maybe
in the spring they realize that maybe JJ McCarthy isn't
the guy, or maybe there's a setback physically, or maybe
there's another quarterback on a different team that he would
(26:42):
want to play for injured. Should I just sit back
here right now and wait for a better opportunity, or
do I go to Pittsburgh and look, you just ripped
through some of the guys in this roster.
Speaker 13 (26:55):
I'm not sure how.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
Aaron feels about Pittsburgh, but I think we could probably
all agree if he was blown away by them, this
would be done. He wouldn't be watching what the Minnesota
Vikings were doing. It seems just like a really far
backup plan for Rogers if he even wants to do that.
And then you have the New York Giants, and I
don't even think that they have that much of a
(27:17):
push in this in terms of Rogers wanting to be there,
because we know the uphill battle that they have in
terms of their roster and everything that they're dealing with
with their coaching staff. So I think for Rogers, his
mindset's like, I'm in no rush because you all need me.
I don't really need you, because if I choose not
(27:38):
to play football, I choose not to play football. But
I think the Minnesota Vikings are worth waiting out for,
and I think he's willing to roll the die there.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
What are the Giants doing.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Hoping that Russell Wilson or Joe Flacco decide to come
to New York. I think that's gonna wind up being
one of their backup plans one or the other.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
They've been operating.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Taking a quarterback. You think they're taking Shade or Sanders.
Speaker 13 (28:05):
I do.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
I think they've always had the focus has always been
to get a quarterback here. I think they've aggressively called
up to Tennessee to try to move up. I don't
get the sense right now out of Tennessee that they've
made a final decision yet. I just know that they haven't.
They've obviously have not made this trade. I think Tennessee
(28:30):
winds up going quarterback, and I think the New York
Giants do as well. I think the Giants are going
to do whatever they can to just try to get
up and get a quarterback and then sort of.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
Figure out where to go from there.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
And what I find is fascinating in all this, And
obviously I can't share every conversation I have and all
the information we collect, but there have been so many
moves made over the past two three weeks here with
all three of these organizations that we're talking about big
teams here, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Minnesota Vikings, the New
(29:03):
York Giants, where I wonder if they're going to reflect
on some of these calls and regret them. Right starting
with Minnesota letting Sam Darnold walk. We want to invest
in the young guy, right, so we're gonna let the
guy that just won fourteen games for us leave the building.
We have no insurance plan now right now? Oh well,
we will get Daniel Jones Dean he wants to be here.
(29:24):
We can win with Daniel. We've got the best quarterback
whisper in football. He can get the most out of
DJ Well. Daniel Jones wants to be the starter without
having to deal with a young draft pick that's going
to compete for the job. That because he was hand
picked by Quacy and Kevin O'Connell. The young guy's going
to get the edge, right, Like we see it all
the time in sports.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
Whoever that guy's coach is, they usually get the edge.
They're the favorite.
Speaker 10 (29:49):
So Daniel Jones looks at the situation, He's like, I
don't want to be in this mess. I can go
in to India and just win this thing. So this
is why when I say Kevin O'Connell is tedd to
JJ McCarthy, because if not just Aaron Rodgers, it's Sam,
it's Daniel Jones, and it's.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
A future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
All three of these quarterbacks, they're willing to say, no,
we can win with JJ with this roster, and if
they feel good about.
Speaker 13 (30:16):
It, I guess we got to just believe them.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The brotherly shove just keeps. It doesn't go away. It
feels like the Packers are like, can you please take
this out of the game. We can't stop it, but
nobody else can as well. My simple solution is just
don't allow somebody to be behind Jalen Hurts and block
him from behind.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I still think they would be just as successful running
a quarterback sneak with that line in Jalen hurts. But
is there any chance that the NFL, when the owners
get together, they're going to say, you know what, none
of us can stop it, we want it out of
the game, and then we vote on it.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Yeah, I think it's a long shot still. I actually
thought it had I thought there was more teeth to
it a year ago, you know.
Speaker 13 (31:04):
And you saw the report that Green Bay is the.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
One that proposed it because they they bring up player safety.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
There's there's no information.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
About that out there that that's not really a strong
leg to stand on at this point. But but even
having conversations about this over the last few weeks when
it started to bubble up again, I think you always
have to look at some of the players involved, and
and I never got the sense that Roger Goodell was
for it. I always felt that he didn't like it
(31:35):
because he thought it was an ugly play. He didn't
like the optics, the esthetics. And I know that there
are some on the competition Committee who feel that way
as well. But I think in the end, most around
the league, including owners, have the same mindset that you do,
and and that I think a lot of teams do.
It's let's not punish this team because you can't figure
(31:58):
out a way to stop it. Maybe put your efforts
into solving that problem before having to change the rule
because your team doesn't have that advantage.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Great to talk to you, and we'll be watching. We'll
be watching to make sure we find out where Russ
is going, where Eron is going.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
If you had to bet though, just guess.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
You know, insiders hate this stuff. I hate because you
know Bobby the aggregator out there. It's like headline mrssini says,
Rogers to Seattle, Sam Darnold's getting cut.
Speaker 13 (32:29):
You know, like, uh, do.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You want to do?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Just just a guess on any of those topics. So
like the giants of the Browns, of the Steelers, with
the Vikings, with retirement, with whatever one just give me
one guess. Not a report. Once again, this is not
a report by Diana Rossini. This is not a report.
Speaker 13 (32:51):
This is a guess. This is a guess. We have
to just emphasize this. Yes, I think Aaron Rodgers is
going to be a Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
That is breaking news. Hey, let's get that out social media.
We're gonna get some We're gonna get some hits reports.
Aaron Rodgers will be the Vikings quarterback. Thank you, thank you, Diana.
That was a guess. That's all that was. It was
(33:27):
a guess. It was not a report.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Not as amused as we were with that joke, she
wasn't She.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Knew what she was walking into. At least she thought
you did all of a sudden. A bunch of the
podcast is Scoop City with Chase Daniel. That's Diana Rassini.
Let's take a break here, but we all just take
a break. We'll come back with your phone calls after this.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Be sure to catch the live edition of That and
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You guys want to take a guess on what are
the odds of a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
One in how many seaton I'll start with you.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Two hundred and thirty five million?
Speaker 7 (34:22):
All right, Paul, I'm gonna say similar to the Celtics
sale one in six billion.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
What in six billion?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Celtics went for a little over six billion dollars a
sale in the middle of a season, Marvin, a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
What are the odds one in three billion, all right, Todd, one.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
In four hundred and thirty seven million.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You have a one in nine point two quinn trillion
chance of a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Is that real?
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Worse?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So you're saying there's a chance. To give you an
eye what that is. Let's say you have a picture
that has one million dots. Each dot had a million
dots within itself, so that's a trillion dots. You would
need nine point two million images of that to get
(35:16):
to nine point two quinn tillion dots.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
Yes, see, a quintillion is a one followed by eighteen zero.
Remember when Warren Buffett would offer up whatever, a million
dollars if any of his employees got a perfect bracket, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Based on those dogs, it's being pretty cheap. You got
to make that at least a twenty million dollar proNT.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yeah, I would say a billion. I would say a
billion dollars to kill.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Off film to make that happen.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
He could do that.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Yeah, yes, Pauline, I'd never heard that numerical phrase before.
That's how rare it is.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Quinn tillion. I thought it was trillion, but it's quinnion.
That's isn't that like a dance or something.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, a cotillion, Oh, a cotillion all dressed up.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
Yeah, you're going to the quintillion.
Speaker 2 (36:09):

Speaker 2 (37:21):
David in Michigan, Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (37:25):
Hi?
Speaker 13 (37:25):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (37:26):
First time, long time, five feet nine and a smelt
one point five. Well, yesterday you talked about stem cell harvesting,
and my wife and I are at Mayo Clinic right now.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
And Teresa's going through.
Speaker 11 (37:40):
Harvesting five hours on a machine. Teresa's called in your
show and is now lovingly known in our family as
Teresa from Michigan. She never ever misses your show.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Including this morning.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
You and the Dan Nets are so important in our
dayly life going through cancer treatment. This is her second
go around anyone going through cancer treatment those that's very
personal and very scary. You've had multiple callers through the
years that have called about this, but it's your show
that allows threeson me to thank you something else. For
three hours Monday through Friday. We feel we are part
(38:15):
of the wider sports world. We recap your shows literally
every day, and she's become the sports authority in our
extended family, and I mean the sports authority. We have
a motto Dan through this journey which has been incredibly
successful thanks to Mayo Clinic, and that motto is grace, gratitude,
grits and courage. And I would add the Dan Patrick's show, thank.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
You, David, thank you, and to Teresa. We were with
you every step of the way and we hope to
hear from you.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I had reaction from I brought up stem Cell. I
went to Panama. This is a little while ago i'd
be still trying to fix the autoimmune disease that I
have wonderful people there and had some progress and have
felt as good as I've felt in the last twelve years.
(39:08):
I don't know diet has played a role, Vitamins have
played a role, but Jay Glazer is the one who said,
I know you're going through a lot, go down, try it,
and my wife and I went, that was I don't
know if it's a vacation, but they put fifty thousand
stem cells in you a day through an IV and
(39:31):
you know they don't guarantee anything, didn't know how long
months after it would take. But I have turned the
corner here, and for all of those who've been involved,
certainly the dan ets, because that was every day, every day.
But thank god I had work to go into instead
of just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. But thank
(39:52):
you for the reaction to that. I'm not telling you
that stem cells for you. I'm telling you that it
was for me. Do your research and I did that,
and Jay Glazer said try it. And Jay has had
some great results with that. Uh Sean and Oregon. Hi Sean,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 12 (40:11):
Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dan, I just wanted
to call and stick up for defense of the defensive players.
And you look at you know, last year's MVP, Joel Embiid.
You know he has been the Defensive Player of the
Year before. And when you go back five years ago
to Jannis, he was Defensive Player of the Year when
he won that MVP. And when I think of the Joker,
(40:34):
When I think of the Joker, I think at the
time a few years back when he was the next
to the very last person chosen at the All Star selection,
And I think what MVP has ever been chosen next
to last? I mean he had to stand up actually
before he has even chosen because he was about to
be the last player. That's how I think. He's unathletic
(40:55):
and he's not fun to watch. Brother, He's a.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Great battle but that's the All Star game. And now
we were building a team, where do you think Joker
would be drafted If we're drafting a team Sean not
an All Star lineup.
Speaker 12 (41:09):
Well, he ain't cool enough to be on my team.
Speaker 8 (41:11):
I think that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Well, I'll take him on my team. You can take
the cool guys if you want to, but thank you
for the phone call. Joker is not Jannis not Embeid,
but he leads all centers in defensive rebounding, and he
leads all centers and steals. Something has to be said
for that as far as defensive stats.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Final hour on the way. Get some more phone calls
or back after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hour two on this Thursday. The tournament starts in two hours.
Plan accordingly, brackets need to be in. If you're part
of our bracket challenge, you can go to Foxsports Radio
dot com. Stat of the Day is always brought to
you by the great folks at Pinini America, the official
trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. You know, I'm
starting to get it's not hate mail, hate email, but Marvin,
(00:28):
some people are coming after you because of your music
choices for stat of the Day. To answer, well, let
me get to Steven Michigan. Hi, Steve, Marvin is here
to listen to your complaint for Play of the day.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A first time or long time VERSTI sixty five? Not
about the music, yeah, not about the music. It's oh it's.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Uh, I forgot about never mind, Steve. Okay, buddy, Yeah,
Marvin your responsority.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Steve, do you need help? Do you need us to
send the authorities?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know, Marvin's got a complaint with you, Steve, don't
call in again until you get your act together. We're
a professional organization here.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
He needs to worry about that more so than my play.
The day selection, Yeah or stat of the day. Okay,
welcome to the program. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock. Yes,
Todd is back.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The king of comedy is back with us, ready to go,
and he will make up for the last you know,
last three days he wasn't able to join us, and
he promises to be extra funny today. May be waiting
a while, uh seating us here, Marvin and Paulie as
well yours truly, we got basketball coming up in two hours.
Congratulations to Xavier gets by Texas, Mount Saint Mary's beats American.
(01:55):
There is this ground swell for North Carolina and now
the number of analysts I heard yesterday walk back. Probably
a lot of their comments. They're like, hey, you know what,
they're sneaky good? Okay? Should they Did they deserve to
get in the tournament or not?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like that's the only question I have.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You can be a good team, a sneaky team, but
not be good enough to get into the tournament. Jim
Beheim has North Carolina going I think to the Sweet sixteen,
maybe the Elite eight, but everybody seems to be walking
back a little bit with North Carolina. North Carolina should
be good. You know this isn't high Point. It's North Carolina.
(02:39):
We look surprised, sound surprised. Where we go, Hey Carolina,
they could be a bracketbuster. Okay, underdog, gritty gutty underdog.
It's not Drake, it's North Carolina. Like a feel good story.
They become a feel good story as an underdog here. Yes, Bow, there.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Has to be blame for this, like North Carolina barely
making the tournament they used to recruit they would probably
pass on top recruits ten years ago, twenty years ago,
or Syracuse not making it for four years. This has
to be anil based that spreads the talent around.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, North Carolina lost one of their best players to Arizona,
who was a Caleb Love ended up like you know,
who would have thought that North Carolina would lose a
player to Arizona. But this is a whole different era
here and Hubert Davis and you know, I even saw
where some analysts were like, you know, mate, should they
move on from Hubert Davis? Well, he's a tar heel.
(03:35):
You just gave him a contract extension. Weren't they in
the title game? What last year or the year before?
So I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon. And
I don't think he should. But this man, Carolina, we
don't know what's going on. I mean, let's just be honest,
total transparency. For the most part. Even if you watch
(03:55):
college basketball all year long, something happens in March where
you go, it's unexplainable, and you'll have somebody's coming out
of nowhere. Happens every single year, and there's going to
be a number one seed where you go, oh.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
My god, they got bounced early, yes, Martin.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And in the NCAA tournament. All it takes is one
bad game or on the other side, have a Cinderella,
have just one great game to get high from three
point range and that's it for your season.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We got a garage sale going on. Everything on sale
at danpatrick dot com. We're clearing out inventory for the
spring and everything must go eight seven to seven to three.
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
DP show. Dina Racini has done a great job in
the off season as an NFL insider for the Athletics.
She'll join us coming up here in a little bit.
(04:47):
And she had a report on Aaron Rodgers. ESPN had
a report on Aaron Rodgers. I'm not sure kind of
where this story is headed or even where it is
right now, but it felt like the Vikings weren't interested
in Aaron Rodgers, and then it felt like they're interested maybe,
(05:08):
And I'm like, either you are or you're not. So
I thought Diana Russini can join us and we can
talk to her about are the Vikings waiting for something?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And if they are, what are they waiting for?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And as a result, is Aaron Rodgers either going to
the Vikings or going into retirement? But also you have
the Brown situation, the Steelers situation. Russell Wilson is still
out there. There's still some there's chairs available in the
musical chairs with quarterbacks here, but we're running out of
(05:41):
music and we're running out of chairs, all right, So
later today tonight Houston, Auburn, Tennessee. Saint John's among the
luminaries that will be playing. Also Rick Patino and Saint
John's feels like a feel good story, Like Patino feels
like a feel good story. And who would have thought
that if you go back to what happened in Louisville
(06:01):
he was coaching in Greece. I remember when he came
back and he got the job at Saint John's and
I said to Fritzi, I said, reach out to Patino.
And I think it was Saint John's. I don't think
it was Iona. But he went from cross Town. We
were in New York and he wanted to be on
the show. Was he going to IONA or Saint John's. Fritzi,
(06:23):
do you remember that day?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I have to check.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I thought he was going to Iona, but you may
be right. But he goes and he spends two years
and then he turns a team around. That's his mo.
He's done that every place he goes. Now, was he
a great NBA coach? No, but he's the kind of
coach that's a control freak and college he can control,
he can make you play his style. He has different styles.
(06:46):
But Jim Beheim was saying, if you're going to say
coach K's the greatest coach, let's take John Wooden out
of it. Rick Patino's right there with coach Mike Kryzewski.
That is high praise from a Hall of Fame coach
in Jim Beheim.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Yes, Marvin, and.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I think it's the combination of Patino and Saint John's
both making a comeback, because, like you said, Saint John's,
I don't ever remember Saint John's being this good. I
remember a couple of years of our test years, but
never like this. So it seems like both of these
entities have just you know, making big comebacks this season.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, and it's a big deal in New York.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Therefore you got the media capital and everybody writing about
Saint John's and Rick Patino. But it is a really
good story. If you get an opportunity, and you didn't
see that thirty for thirty on the Big East, watch
it and you'll understand basketball in New York at that
time in the eighties. Saint John's, Georgetown, Villanova, Syracuse, just
(07:43):
to name a few of these schools.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Yes, Tom, and when he goes white on white with
that suit, look out, that is just that's trouble.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's terrible.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
That is terrible.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
You're like the Tony Monaro syn night fever. Look, No,
it's not trouble. It's troubleling.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Eight seven seven three DP show email address, DPA, dan
Patrick dutt on Twitter handled and shot the show. It's terrible. Look,
I lived through the disco era on the back end
of the disco era, and I had a couple of bad,
bad outfits. I mean they felt like they were bad
in the moment, and then all of a sudden, you
(08:24):
see him after the fact, and you go, oh my god,
no wonder a woman didn't talk to me. And all
of a sudden, you're walking up platform shoes at bell bottom,
pants on, tight shirt, hair parted down the middle. Yeah, yeah,
well that says a lot about you.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Todd Yes Ball.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
The IT team looked back to find when Rick Patino
debuted the white Suit. It was a winter of two
thousand and eight with Louisville, and he said he'd had
it for a while and been waiting for the right time.
The right time was when your team was thirty one
and six. That's the perfect time to debut it. By
the way, three months after he debuted the White Suit,
they won the NCAA title.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Mm boom m hmm. Who has How far do you
have Saint John's going? I have I think I have
them an Elite eight.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I do them in the Elite eight too, Elite eight, Marvin, I.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Have them winning the national title.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I do think.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
You know I was close to doing that too.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
Well, you know, who I have them have knocking out
Saint John's North Carolina, not Seaton Hall I wish. Unfortunately
they're not available. Marvin's Yukon Huskies. Oh wow, Yeah that's.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Right, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, you believe.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm not really sure why because I either think they're
going to lose in the first round or win the
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Same.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
It's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You can't believe, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
I have Johnny's eighty three Dukes seventy seven in the
national title game.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
Store.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, we are so in the bubble.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
That's in the bubble right now.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, yeah, what's the pole question for our two Seaton
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If I ask you that or not.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Uh well, let me see.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Let me give you hour one because we have a
brotherly shove in there. Is that a football play or
a rugby play?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Right now?
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Sixty five percent of the audience have that as a
rugby play?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Rugby play? Yeah? Yeah, uh you know what.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
We go here, here's another one for Paulie. We might
as well just based on what we were talking about. Are
you rooting for or against Saint John's and Rick Patino
Hm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think it's a great story. Rick is complicated. I've
known Ricks since the mid eighties, and but but he's
always been recognized as one of the great coaches in basketball.
He just never days very long at places. But you
(11:03):
know that there are a lot of guys who are
like that that they just think, hey, I did this,
fix this. Now, let me go to the next team,
and then the next team and then the next team.
If they had gotten Tim Duncan, who knows what kind
of coach he would have been in the NBA. By
the way, Bill Simmons documentary on the Celtics is wonderful,
(11:23):
even if you don't like the Celtics. There is so
much footage, interviews, Bill Russell read arback, Bob Coosey's wonderful
and so far what I've seen, it's great. The first
two episodes been really wonderful. You get an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
There is.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Jerry west Is on there in the first episode and he,
like you can see in his eyes, it hurt him
to the day he died that he couldn't eat the Celtics.
It's still so fresh. He's talking about a game in
(12:04):
nineteen sixty two where Frank Selvy has an open fifteen
footer and it was still bothering Jerry when they interviewed him,
and probably interviewed him, you know, not long before he died.
The look in his eyes and he talks about being
a wolf when he's on the floor. You don't bleep
(12:24):
with the wolf. It's so personal and painful as well.
And I remember those Celtics teams were great. They just
they were just a little bit better than the Lakers.
But Jerry, to his dying day, still painful, all right, Yes, Marvin, And.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
You saw some of those NBA Finals with the Celtics
against Wilt Chamberlain's Warriors or the Lakers with Jerry Weston
Elgin Baylor. Those games were coming down to the wire,
game seven, so it was like they were just barely
so it wasn't like they were sweeping them or anything
like that. And it was just like they were saying
the difference between Russell and Chamberlain was Russell was trying
to win and that was bothering Wilt Chamberlain also, and
(13:09):
rout Uarback just kind of sticking it to Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Until he died.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yes, Yeah, he just said there was a difference between
Russell and Chamberlain of their approach. Bill Russell wasn't about
his numbers. He was about winning. And I think Red
you know, was saying that Wilt was about his numbers.
Russell was about winning the game. But great footage in there,
and uh, you know a lot of great interviews as well. Uh,
(13:35):
Tyler in Portland, Hi, Tyler, went's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Oh my god, we need a ceasefire on Pandora brother

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Got some teams making proposals. Packers still want to get
rid of the Brotherly Shove, the Lions looking at a
new format for seating in the tournament as well the playoffs,
so a lot of things going on. The NFL is
always in play, certainly with the quarterbacking situations given what's
going on with the Giants and the Browns and the Steelers,
the Vikings, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Diana Rossini, the Athletics
(18:24):
senior NFL insider, co host of the Athletics Scoop City
podcast with Chase Daniel. First of all, you've done a
wonderful job. You've done a wonderful job here in the
off season, not to say you don't do it in
the regular season, but did want to have you on
to say that great work. Now give us the latest tier.
Let's start with Aaron Rodgers, because there were conflicting reports yesterday.
(18:46):
Were the Vikings interested? Are they still interested in Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Hi?
Speaker 13 (18:51):
Well, first of all, thank you, happy spring. We made it, buddy.
We're here just the fact that it's pouring in our region.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
But we'll take it right as it just fell a
really long winter. And you sound annoyed by the quarterback
carousel situation here a little bit.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
Are you the Steelers? Are you the Giants? Are you
talking to them? Because I can tell you that they are.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
They're they're pretty annoyed by all this as they're just
waiting and you know, everyone knows the tell at this
point that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants
are both very interested in Aaron Rodgers. Rogers knows what
kind of contract that both teams are offering, and the
Minnesota Vikings spent i'd said, probably the last week and
a half or so having really serious discussions about what
(19:36):
this would mean for this team moving forward if they
were to bring Aaron Rodgers on.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
And you had a lot of people in that building in.
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Favor of Rogers after watching some film of him, and
you know, those guys know a lot about him, They
have good relationships with Rogers, and so there were certainly
many people with Minnesota who believe that bringing Aaron Rodgers
in this season was the best.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
Thing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
And I think from their perspective, it's, well, you don't
get extra points winning a super Bowl because you want
it with your draft pick, with you because you want
it with the young quarterback. They built this team in
free agency, and you have to give them so much
credit with how they've built this Vikings team on paper.
At this point right now, I think it's really reasonable
to say that this is a super Bowl, super Bowl
(20:25):
caliber team.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
They just need the quarterback.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
And the fact that the Vikings have now made the
decision to table this to say, okay, we want to
give JJ McCarthy an opportunity. This spring tells me that
Kevin O'Connell has hitched his wagon into JJ McCarthy and
believes that this player is the future of the Minnesota Vikings,
(20:50):
that he is the absolute best option over let's say,
a future Hall of Famer in Aaron Rodgers. So serious
discussions happened, but Kevin O'Connell came to the decision that
he believes that JJ McCarthy gives the Vikings a much
better chance at winning than Aaron Rodgers does.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
At this point, well, okay, this is what I was
told yesterday. Kevin he knows he can mold JJ McCarthy.
He's not molding Aaron Rodgers. And does Aaron Rodgers style
of play fit with what Kevin wants with his offense?
And I was told that it's not necessarily a great marriage.
It's Aaron Rodgers and the high high that you can
(21:34):
get could be a super Bowl. But Kevin has he
is showing confidence in JJ McCarthy, and he wants to
make sure that he that McCarthy doesn't lose, you know,
going through rehab. He wants to make sure he understands
I got rid of Sam Darnold. You're my guy, but
I'm doing my due diligence that probably ownership is asking
him to do.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Yeah, he's it's beyond confidence in JJ McCarthy. If he's
making this decision, he is hitching his wagon to JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 13 (22:03):
As JJ McCarthy goes.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
The Minnesota Vikings now go because they had an opportunity
to bring in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
And to the point that you're making.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Of well, he doesn't fit in this style of offense.
I think Kevin O'Connell, the Coach of the Year, has
proven that he can make any quarterback fit and find
their best qualities to get the most out of them.
I think that's Kevin's best trait. He is so adaptable.
He is able to figure out pretty quickly what the
(22:33):
strengths of these quarterbacks are. And we've talked on this
show so many times about the Rogers experience in New York,
and while I don't ever I never thought it was
the right fit. I always understood what New York was doing.
When you think about fit, when you think about personality.
When you think about what a player like Aaron Rodgers
(22:55):
needs around him at this point in his career, he
does need somebody that he really truly respects and can
hold him accountable. And in my opinion, I think that's
Kevin O'Connell. I think there's probably about five coaches in
football right now that I would say yep, that works right,
Like Andy Reid can handle Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vrabel, Mike Tomlin,
(23:15):
Sean McVay, Kevin O'Connell. Those are five off the top
of my head that I feel very comfortable saying Aaron
Rodgers respects. And I think Rogers is looking at the
situation right now, going I wanted to play for the
Rams that didn't work out, what's the next best And
based on these offseason moves, Minnesota is, without a doubt
(23:36):
the best option for Aaron Rodgers. And so now you
have the Pittsburgh Steelers who don't have a plan past
Mason Rudolph, who are just waiting to hear from Aaron Rodgers.
And you know, the Giants would probably love this opportunity.
But I think in their building, they know what's happening here.
They know that they're probably not the prom queen here
(23:57):
in this situation. So to me, the biggest takeaway was
the Minnesota Vikings have very strong belief and confidence that
JJ McCarthy is the guy, yet they're still going to
discuss Aaron Rodgers. Rogers is still on their radar, so
they need to learn something this spring. I don't know
(24:18):
what that is, but they need to see something. And Agan,
you've been doing this a long time. What is spring football?
Speaker 13 (24:25):
Not much? Right Like, you don't know too much.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
It's pretty easy, laid back, but I think they want
to see where he's at physically, where he's at mentally.
There's a lot in play here before they really make
their decision that they're officially done with Aaron Rodgers, because
there's no in or out on Rodgers.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
It's just for right now.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Diana Rossini, the Athletics senior NFL insider co host of
the Athletics Scoop City with Chase Daniel. I thought the
Steelers were going to bring back justin Field, so I
thought that made sense.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Maybe it's a bridge quarterback, but.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm kind of surprised the Steelers aren't acting like the
Steelers and saying to Aaron Rodgers dude, at the end
of the business day, you're either in or you're out.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
We're the Steelers. You want to play.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's a privilege to play for the Steelers and a
Hall of Fame coach and Mike Tomlin, TJ. Watt, Mika Fitzpatrick,
Cam Hayward. We brought in DK Metcalf. You make up
your mind and then if not, we're moving on. But
you allow Justin Fields to get out of the building.
I don't know if you can bring Russ back. But
(25:34):
where do the Steelers stand with this whole mess?
Speaker 13 (25:38):
Where are they going? Dan? What do you mean they
have no choice?
Speaker 10 (25:42):
Like you want Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan to call
Aaron Rodgers today and say, whe're the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Are you in or you out?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I'm Aaron Rodgers. I'm going.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Okay, Okay, I'm out If you don't want to wait
for me, because what are your options for?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What am I waiting for? You're the Steelers? I mean,
is it is money involved in this? Or is it
just the chance to be with a better team, a
chance to play in an NFC North and win a
Super Bowl? I mean, is that what this is all?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Okay, Yeah, this is this is Aaron.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
This is Aaron Rodgers going. Okay, the Vikings are telling
me right now that they're not in, but they're not
taking it off the table. Do I sit here and
just be patient and just wait to see if maybe
in the spring they realize that maybe JJ McCarthy isn't
the guy, or maybe there's a setback physically, or maybe
there's another quarterback on a different team that he would
(26:42):
want to play for injured. Should I just sit back
here right now and wait for a better opportunity, or
do I go to Pittsburgh and look, you just ripped
through some of the guys in this roster.
Speaker 13 (26:55):
I'm not sure how.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
Aaron feels about Pittsburgh, but I think we could probably
all agree if he was blown away by them, this
would be done. He wouldn't be watching what the Minnesota
Vikings were doing. It seems just like a really far
backup plan for Rogers if he even wants to do that.
And then you have the New York Giants, and I
don't even think that they have that much of a
(27:17):
push in this in terms of Rogers wanting to be there,
because we know the uphill battle that they have in
terms of their roster and everything that they're dealing with
with their coaching staff. So I think for Rogers, his
mindset's like, I'm in no rush because you all need me.
I don't really need you, because if I choose not
(27:38):
to play football, I choose not to play football. But
I think the Minnesota Vikings are worth waiting out for,
and I think he's willing to roll the die there.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
What are the Giants doing.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Hoping that Russell Wilson or Joe Flacco decide to come
to New York. I think that's gonna wind up being
one of their backup plans one or the other.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
They've been operating.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Taking a quarterback. You think they're taking Shade or Sanders.
Speaker 13 (28:05):
I do.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
I think they've always had the focus has always been
to get a quarterback here. I think they've aggressively called
up to Tennessee to try to move up. I don't
get the sense right now out of Tennessee that they've
made a final decision yet. I just know that they haven't.
They've obviously have not made this trade. I think Tennessee
(28:30):
winds up going quarterback, and I think the New York
Giants do as well. I think the Giants are going
to do whatever they can to just try to get
up and get a quarterback and then sort of.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
Figure out where to go from there.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
And what I find is fascinating in all this, And
obviously I can't share every conversation I have and all
the information we collect, but there have been so many
moves made over the past two three weeks here with
all three of these organizations that we're talking about big
teams here, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Minnesota Vikings, the New
(29:03):
York Giants, where I wonder if they're going to reflect
on some of these calls and regret them. Right starting
with Minnesota letting Sam Darnold walk. We want to invest
in the young guy, right, so we're gonna let the
guy that just won fourteen games for us leave the building.
We have no insurance plan now right now? Oh well,
we will get Daniel Jones Dean he wants to be here.
(29:24):
We can win with Daniel. We've got the best quarterback
whisper in football. He can get the most out of
DJ Well. Daniel Jones wants to be the starter without
having to deal with a young draft pick that's going
to compete for the job. That because he was hand
picked by Quacy and Kevin O'Connell. The young guy's going
to get the edge, right, Like we see it all
the time in sports.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
Whoever that guy's coach is, they usually get the edge.
They're the favorite.
Speaker 10 (29:49):
So Daniel Jones looks at the situation, He's like, I
don't want to be in this mess. I can go
in to India and just win this thing. So this
is why when I say Kevin O'Connell is tedd to
JJ McCarthy, because if not just Aaron Rodgers, it's Sam,
it's Daniel Jones, and it's.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
A future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
All three of these quarterbacks, they're willing to say, no,
we can win with JJ with this roster, and if
they feel good about.
Speaker 13 (30:16):
It, I guess we got to just believe them.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The brotherly shove just keeps. It doesn't go away. It
feels like the Packers are like, can you please take
this out of the game. We can't stop it, but
nobody else can as well. My simple solution is just
don't allow somebody to be behind Jalen Hurts and block
him from behind.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I still think they would be just as successful running
a quarterback sneak with that line in Jalen hurts. But
is there any chance that the NFL, when the owners
get together, they're going to say, you know what, none
of us can stop it, we want it out of
the game, and then we vote on it.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Yeah, I think it's a long shot still. I actually
thought it had I thought there was more teeth to
it a year ago, you know.
Speaker 13 (31:04):
And you saw the report that Green Bay is the.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
One that proposed it because they they bring up player safety.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
There's there's no information.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
About that out there that that's not really a strong
leg to stand on at this point. But but even
having conversations about this over the last few weeks when
it started to bubble up again, I think you always
have to look at some of the players involved, and
and I never got the sense that Roger Goodell was
for it. I always felt that he didn't like it
(31:35):
because he thought it was an ugly play. He didn't
like the optics, the esthetics. And I know that there
are some on the competition Committee who feel that way
as well. But I think in the end, most around
the league, including owners, have the same mindset that you do,
and and that I think a lot of teams do.
It's let's not punish this team because you can't figure
(31:58):
out a way to stop it. Maybe put your efforts
into solving that problem before having to change the rule
because your team doesn't have that advantage.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Great to talk to you, and we'll be watching. We'll
be watching to make sure we find out where Russ
is going, where Eron is going.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
If you had to bet though, just guess.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
You know, insiders hate this stuff. I hate because you
know Bobby the aggregator out there. It's like headline mrssini says,
Rogers to Seattle, Sam Darnold's getting cut.
Speaker 13 (32:29):
You know, like, uh, do.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You want to do?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Just just a guess on any of those topics. So
like the giants of the Browns, of the Steelers, with
the Vikings, with retirement, with whatever one just give me
one guess. Not a report. Once again, this is not
a report by Diana Rossini. This is not a report.
Speaker 13 (32:51):
This is a guess. This is a guess. We have
to just emphasize this. Yes, I think Aaron Rodgers is
going to be a Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
That is breaking news. Hey, let's get that out social media.
We're gonna get some We're gonna get some hits reports.
Aaron Rodgers will be the Vikings quarterback. Thank you, thank you, Diana.
That was a guess. That's all that was. It was
(33:27):
a guess. It was not a report.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Not as amused as we were with that joke, she
wasn't She.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Knew what she was walking into. At least she thought
you did all of a sudden. A bunch of the
podcast is Scoop City with Chase Daniel. That's Diana Rassini.
Let's take a break here, but we all just take
a break. We'll come back with your phone calls after this.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Be sure to catch the live edition of That and
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
You guys want to take a guess on what are
the odds of a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
One in how many seaton I'll start with you.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Two hundred and thirty five million?
Speaker 7 (34:22):
All right, Paul, I'm gonna say similar to the Celtics
sale one in six billion.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
What in six billion?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Celtics went for a little over six billion dollars a
sale in the middle of a season, Marvin, a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
What are the odds one in three billion, all right, Todd, one.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
In four hundred and thirty seven million.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You have a one in nine point two quinn trillion
chance of a perfect bracket?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Is that real?
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Worse?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So you're saying there's a chance. To give you an
eye what that is. Let's say you have a picture
that has one million dots. Each dot had a million
dots within itself, so that's a trillion dots. You would
need nine point two million images of that to get
(35:16):
to nine point two quinn tillion dots.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
Yes, see, a quintillion is a one followed by eighteen zero.
Remember when Warren Buffett would offer up whatever, a million
dollars if any of his employees got a perfect bracket, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Based on those dogs, it's being pretty cheap. You got
to make that at least a twenty million dollar proNT.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yeah, I would say a billion. I would say a
billion dollars to kill.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Off film to make that happen.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
He could do that.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Yeah, yes, Pauline, I'd never heard that numerical phrase before.
That's how rare it is.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Quinn tillion. I thought it was trillion, but it's quinnion.
That's isn't that like a dance or something.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, a cotillion, Oh, a cotillion all dressed up.
Speaker 5 (36:07):

David in Michigan, Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (37:25):
Hi?
Speaker 13 (37:25):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (37:26):
First time, long time, five feet nine and a smelt
one point five. Well, yesterday you talked about stem cell harvesting,
and my wife and I are at Mayo Clinic right now.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
And Teresa's going through.
Speaker 11 (37:40):
Harvesting five hours on a machine. Teresa's called in your
show and is now lovingly known in our family as
Teresa from Michigan. She never ever misses your show.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Including this morning.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
You and the Dan Nets are so important in our
dayly life going through cancer treatment. This is her second
go around anyone going through cancer treatment those that's very
personal and very scary. You've had multiple callers through the
years that have called about this, but it's your show
that allows threeson me to thank you something else. For
three hours Monday through Friday. We feel we are part
(38:15):
of the wider sports world. We recap your shows literally
every day, and she's become the sports authority in our
extended family, and I mean the sports authority. We have
a motto Dan through this journey which has been incredibly
successful thanks to Mayo Clinic, and that motto is grace, gratitude,
grits and courage. And I would add the Dan Patrick's show, thank.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
You, David, thank you, and to Teresa. We were with
you every step of the way and we hope to
hear from you.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I had reaction from I brought up stem Cell. I
went to Panama. This is a little while ago i'd
be still trying to fix the autoimmune disease that I
have wonderful people there and had some progress and have
felt as good as I've felt in the last twelve years.
(39:08):
I don't know diet has played a role, Vitamins have
played a role, but Jay Glazer is the one who said,
I know you're going through a lot, go down, try it,
and my wife and I went, that was I don't
know if it's a vacation, but they put fifty thousand
stem cells in you a day through an IV and
(39:31):
you know they don't guarantee anything, didn't know how long
months after it would take. But I have turned the
corner here, and for all of those who've been involved,
certainly the dan ets, because that was every day, every day.
But thank god I had work to go into instead
of just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. But thank
(39:52):
you for the reaction to that. I'm not telling you
that stem cells for you. I'm telling you that it
was for me. Do your research and I did that,
and Jay Glazer said try it. And Jay has had
some great results with that. Uh Sean and Oregon. Hi Sean,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 12 (40:11):
Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dan, I just wanted
to call and stick up for defense of the defensive players.
And you look at you know, last year's MVP, Joel Embiid.
You know he has been the Defensive Player of the
Year before. And when you go back five years ago
to Jannis, he was Defensive Player of the Year when
he won that MVP. And when I think of the Joker,
(40:34):
When I think of the Joker, I think at the
time a few years back when he was the next
to the very last person chosen at the All Star selection,
And I think what MVP has ever been chosen next
to last? I mean he had to stand up actually
before he has even chosen because he was about to
be the last player. That's how I think. He's unathletic
(40:55):
and he's not fun to watch. Brother, He's a.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Great battle but that's the All Star game. And now
we were building a team, where do you think Joker
would be drafted If we're drafting a team Sean not
an All Star lineup.
Speaker 12 (41:09):
Well, he ain't cool enough to be on my team.
Speaker 8 (41:11):
I think that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Well, I'll take him on my team. You can take
the cool guys if you want to, but thank you
for the phone call. Joker is not Jannis not Embeid,
but he leads all centers in defensive rebounding, and he
leads all centers and steals. Something has to be said
for that as far as defensive stats.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Final hour on the way. Get some more phone calls
or back after this
