DP shows stat of the Day has always brought you
by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
(01:05):
First hour, we talked a lot about the giant situation,
the comeback, and the collapse. We also talked about sho
Heyo Tani the greatness that we saw, but you had
a lot of carnage in college football. The Colts are
still winning, the Colts winning against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
(01:25):
That might open your eyes a little bit more. It
feels like people are waiting for the Colts to be
the Colts and not be a great team. But I
do think they have a better than average defense. Daniel
Jones has played well, he doesn't you know, there's not turnovers.
Jonathan Taylor has played really well. They have some playmakers
there and I think that kind of win is one
(01:47):
of those wins where you go, okay, things that make
you go hmm, Yes, Marvin is Daniel Jones this year?
Sam Darnold he might be. And the fact that they
were both in Minnesota. Minnesota moved on from both of them,
and they've got Carson Wentz now because JJ McCarthy is still.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Not healthy enough.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
All right, eight seven to seven to three DP show
email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show.
The timing of your loss is really important because there
are certain teams. Miami lost, they can't afford another loss.
USC lost, They can't afford another loss. Notre Dame couldn't
(02:25):
afford another loss. With the win against usc Ole Miss
is okay, can't afford another loss. I mean that's that's
not a bad loss. Losing at Georgia. There's a certain
teams like LSU. Now you're in trouble, certain teams that
you're going to be out of the picture because they're
not taking three loss teams. It's you get two, you
(02:48):
don't get a third.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yes, Marvin Ole Miss.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
They should probably be kicking themselves because they were outscored
seventeen and nothing in the fourth.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So that's one of those games where it's like, oh,
we should have had.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That Vandy over LSU. Florida has fired their head coach,
Billy Napier. The Louisville win against Miami, I've watched a
lot of that was I kept waiting for Miami. It's like,
this is your moment. Man, can't lose to an unranked
Louisville team. We got football tonight, Buccaneers, Lions, Buccaneers getting
six Texans and the Seahawks, and the Texans are getting
(03:21):
three in that one, and then you've got Game seven,
Mariners and the Blue Jays Seaton update the poll results
from our one and then we'll dive into hour two.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, hour one.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
We usually go negative on Mondays. We did this Monday.
Who had the worst weekend in the NFL? Jets, Giants, Raiders,
Steelers right now, Giants running away with that one. We
also have this a regular worst of the weekend that's Brewers, Wisconsin,
Florida State or LSU. The Brewers barely beating out Florida
State and then a very close race with Wisconsin and LSU.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Very cool.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
See.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I didn't my expectation level for the Brewers now not
to see them get swept, but I didn't think they
were going to win this series, so I think they overachieved.
It felt like I know that. You know, it's hard
to walk away from the NLCS and go and get
swept and go, hey, there's some positives there. But that's
(04:17):
the way I would look at it. Even with the
Giants lost to Denver. Yes, it's embarrassing, yes, painful, but
you have players who can play, and hopefully you learn
from that. You know, losses are the great teacher, not winning.
When you lose, If you learn, then you don't lose again.
(04:39):
That's the big difference. There are teams that they lose
and they continue to do the same thing like the gets.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That is bad. That's a bad situation.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
And I want to be fair to Aaron Glenn because
he wanted this job, he got this job. Be careful
what you asked for. And you talked about justin fields
being benched yesterday.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
I understand the nature of the quarterback change, and listen,
we needed a spark at that time.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I felt it was the right time to do it out.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
There was a tough situation for both of those guys,
but it was my call. It was my call, and
I felt it was the right time to do it.
So when it goes into the next week, I'm not
ready to sit here and say what's going on happen
when next week with all quarterbacks, But I will say this,
that's something I have to look at.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Didn't he bark at reporters when they ask about making
a change at quarterback? He made him sound like he
was Joe Namath six days ago. The Chargers, I don't
know what to make of. They're four and three. I
believe you beat Kansas City, but if they played again now,
they're not beating Kansas City. You beat the Raiders, who
(05:48):
aren't any good, beat Denver, lost to the Giants, lost
to the Commanders. You beat Miami, they're not any good,
and you barely beat Miami, and then you let the
Colts put up thirty eight on. You still don't know
exactly what they have there. I know what they had yesterday,
(06:09):
and those are terrible uniforms. Oh no, like why why?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's like when when Brad Pitt said that he tried
to ugly himself up, you know, just to let level
the playing field here. I'm gonna let myself go a
little bit. The Chargers have the best uniforms in sports,
certainly the NFL.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yes, there were still the second ugliest uniforms.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Way hot taking no way, Those Colts uniforms are boringly sharp.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Their butt they are good. They wow, Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Those uniforms stang, Paulie, you're the uniform on budsman or
on buttsmen.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:52):
I'm surprised Seaton has such a hot take about the
Colts because the Colts uniforms are somewhat They could either
be playing and boring, but not a fence. I think
they're ugly, think they're more clean, but never in the top.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Okay is Penn State. Their uniforms similar to the Colts.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Now, the Penn State uniforms are iconic.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
The Colts uniforms.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
They look like when you went into the back of
the Sears catalog and you ordered football team uniform, that's
what they would send you. You can get in any color
you want, white and blue, that's what they would send you.
Generic football team uniform.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Penn State's generic too, Yeah, but they're cool. The Colts
have won more than Penn State has.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Through history, maybe through history, through.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
History kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Penn State's job search is ongoing, and I was told
by a friend this morning he said, I don't see
Matt Ruhle leaving Nebraska go to Penn State. And he
said not that he wouldn't want to go because he's
best friends. I think with the athletic director, it's you
can't bring in a guy to win big games who's
not games at Nebraska. But also there's going to be
(08:04):
a program that gets Franklin. James Franklin's going to go
somewhere and that fan base is going to go.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Look at who we got, like Virginia Tech.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
If you got James Franklin, you'd be like, hey, Florida,
Hey look at who we got.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's just not good enough.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
For a program that's expecting you to win big games.
And I wish they would have pressed him a little
bit on game day. I know it wasn't it wasn't
the place to do it, but it just felt like
it was a rehab stay where you go. I'm you know,
friendly fire here. Nobody's going to ask tough questions. Coach
Saban will be on my side because you got to
(08:44):
ask him, why didn't you win the big games?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What role did you play?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know, how would you address your reputation of not
winning big games? What was missing in those games? Would
you have fired you if you weren't performing like that?
Now you can't ask that question, not with people holding
up signs and pictures of Herbie's dog and stuff. But
(09:12):
I was hoping they would have let Rhys Davis do
a one on one with James Franklin because Franklin didn't
do any media and I don't blame him. So you
got a soft landing on college game day. You know,
in that atmosphere, you can't really get something. I mean,
we reached out, but and those are the questions I'd
(09:33):
be asking him. He's going to get paid no matter
what he does, but he's going to have an opportunity
to coach.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
Yeah, Pauling and Penn State didn't help the cause by
losing at Iowa. You don't get a higher draft pick
if you lose your last five or six games. You're
not tanking.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Coach Corey in Virginia, Hi, Corey, what's on your mind? Hey?
Speaker 11 (09:57):
Core A long time. I'm second time. Thus I am
foreboding from providing my height and weight again. I have
a question for you and the starting five there, maybe
even the potential hour two whole question, because I do
think this makes a good sports radio conversation. Which is
worse having your team play a game that ends at
(10:21):
two in the morning, I'll of Florida State Saturday night,
or having your team play a game that starts at
six thirty in the morning all the la rams yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'd rather I can get up at six am. I
have a hard time staying up at till two in
the morning. Yeah, but thank you, thank you, Corey. Yeah,
the two in the morning, that's one of those where
you wake up, you're going to go to the bathroom
and you're like, let me check my phone here and see,
oh wow, North Carolina lost at cal Florida State lost.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
Yes, Polly, I just did a quick check based off
what Marvin said about Daniel Jones being this year's Sam Darnold.
Daniel Jones is a complete unrestricted free agent after the season. Yeah,
good for him, Oh, good for him at twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
He has the talent. I just don't think that he
was built for New York. And when they traded away Saquon,
like if they had him in Saquon, I thought, Okay,
you have your insurance, you have you always have him
and then all of a sudden you can't lean on
him to win games. And Jonathan Taylor has been wonderful.
(11:29):
Bob and Mason Hi Bob, ye hey.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
Hey Bud Head first time long time five eleven and
seven eighth and a sposed two fifty soft. Best of
the week still is the Bengals being the Steelers and
one of your sponsors, Like this is what we all
say in Cincinnati now, uh, oh, better get Flaco.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
He's Bob work.
Speaker 12 (11:59):
I'm a little I had a carty on this dand
sorry fifty five years ago this week, the Reds the Orioles.
In the World Series, the Reds lost the Orioles. Pitcher
Dave McNally pitched a complete game, but in the sixth
inning he hit a grand slam against the Reds. Only
pitcher hit a grand slam in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Oh do stat of the Day, Martin, Oh, start of
the Jay.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
We love your.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Stata, the day stat of the j Stata the j
oh damn give us stat of the Day.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's Pandora stat of the Day, brought you by Panini
America Official trading cards for The Dan Patrick Show. Are
we going to see Pandora in Vegas next month? Is
she going to stop by to give us a live
version stat of the Day.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Let's hope so.
Speaker 13 (12:54):
Does seem like a morning show person. He's more like
a clubby.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Oh no, I think she's got like a ranch out side.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Areno.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I think she's up.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
I mean, like maybe smoky bar rendition.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think that's just how my Pandora sounds. Yes, Tod,
we set.
Speaker 14 (13:09):
Up a piano that you can kind of dance on
top of her.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No, no, no, no, we're not.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
No.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want to just laying across the piano.
Speaker 14 (13:19):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Like Michelle Pfeiffer did exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, And if we can't get Pandora, maybe see if
Michelle Pfeiffer would like to join us.
Speaker 13 (13:27):
That would be I'll drive drivers of the set.
Speaker 15 (13:30):
I'm milking these cows.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Hold on, I'm going to drive this cattle.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, Marvin, Nope, I'm out. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Otani is the third player to have multiple home runs
and at least ten strikeouts as a pitcher in the
postseason in a career. Dave McNally hit two home runs
and a Grand Slam and fourteen games. Bob Gibson two
home runs in nine games, so that was painful. The
Orioles with that pitching staff in nineteen seventy against the
Big Red me Ma, they were great. But that was
(14:02):
Brooks Robinson. Brooks Robinson put on one of the great
greatest fielding shows ever ever. Hated Brooks Robinson until I
met him, and then you couldn't help.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
But love Brooks Robinson. Great guy, all right. Robert Griffith Junior.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
The third is McLevin would say, will join us, coming
up more of your phone calls as well. Ron Darling
will join his top next hour. He was on the
call for show. Heyo Tawani's historical Night. We're back after
this from The Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
More phone calls coming up, best and worst of the weekend.
What you saw that you like, What you didn't like
over the weekend eight seven to seven three DP show.
I was watching Utah in BYU The Holy War with
BYU winning once again. RG three was on the call
Out of Pocket with RG three. Also check out his
podcast RG three joining us. I felt for you guys
(15:33):
because you had this atmosphere. You were trying to capture
the atmosphere, the sound, the backdrop everything. I mean, did
you feel that like we couldn't understand the crowd noise?
You kept talking about this noise, but the atmosphere was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (15:51):
Dan, it's the best rivalry in all of college sports,
and I was honored to be a part of it
with play by play Jason Bennetti and our startline reporter
Atlanta sty.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
You know a state of Utah that is basically a.
Speaker 17 (16:05):
Band of brothers wearing red and wearing blue, and then
one day out of the year for the last century,
they go to war.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
You know, it's a rivalry that.
Speaker 17 (16:14):
Splits families, husbands and wives, children and cousins, and then
you know, on Sunday they go to church and they're
all back singing the same song. So it was really
cool to be a part of that. Kalanas take the
head coach for BYU, you know, the loving Samoan, and
then you got Utah with Kyle Whitningham. It was it
was an interesting dynamic that was fun to be able to.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Capture the worst loss of the weekend NFL or College
was turned in by who oh my.
Speaker 17 (16:41):
Yeah, I mean that's easy, Dan, that's the New York Giants.
I really feel for New York sports fans right now.
It's it's not pretty. Yankees get booted from the postseason.
You got the Jets at oh and seven, they don't
even really have a quarterback right now, and then the
Giants give up thirty three points in the fourth quarter
and find a way to snatch defeat out of the
(17:01):
jaws of victory.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But the Giants feel hopeful from the standpoint of they
did compete. They've got some players. So my takeaway is, yes,
that one hurts, but it could be helping you build
something here in the near future.
Speaker 17 (17:18):
Yeah, I mean, if you're looking at draft picks, of course,
you don't want to have the greatest season of all times,
so you can build some more pieces around Jackson Dart.
But you got to be careful because you know, you
saw where Brian Banks in the walking to the locker room,
you know, talking about just the frustration of what's going on.
Those guys in that locker room have pride and they
want to win games this year. The guys aren't looking
(17:40):
forward to the next couple of years, like maybe some
people in the front office might be, if they're even there.
But to your point, the positivity from having Jackson Dart
play so well and having camp Scattaboo, you know, bring
that type of energy is good. But I think they're
going through a process of learning how to win. You know,
you see the a lot of times when when changes
(18:01):
are made at the quarterback spot, the team is just
so used to losing that they find way to lose
games that they one should win.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Dart is a game changer.
Speaker 17 (18:11):
I knew that when he was at Ole Miss, you know,
throwing the football around. But for the Giants, you just
can't allow bow Knicks to become Bo Jackson in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Okay, did you play on a team where you felt
like defeat was inevitable in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Oh, that is a great question.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
I was a part of the team in Cleveland that went.
Speaker 17 (18:36):
One in fifteen, So that year was weird because that
was probably one of the closest teams I'd ever been
on as far as the camaraderie in the locker room really,
but you would they would we would find ways to
lose games. And there's another team that I was on
in Washington in twenty fifteen when I didn't play a snap,
(18:56):
and that team might have been the most divided team
I've ever been on, and we won the division championship.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But how do you get divided? What happens?
Speaker 17 (19:07):
You know, it's there's it's kind of like the Eagles
right now, right they come off of victory. But you
can hear aj Brown after he catches the touchdown knees,
he's like saying to the to the camera, throw me
the ball. Like they're winning games, but guys are not
necessarily maybe not getting their numbers, they're not feeling like
they're getting used the right way. And on that twenty
(19:30):
fifteen team, I believe we had Deshaun Jackson, Pierre Garson,
Kirk Cousin was the starting quarterback that year, and for
whatever reason, there was just dissension in the locker room,
and the talent overcame the dissension and we were able
to win the championship. Whereas in Cleveland we were close knit, tight,
but we just weren't able. Maybe we were too young.
(19:50):
We had like five rookie wide receivers, and you know,
we got rid of a lot of our veterans. And
it's why it's so difficult to win in the NFL
because they're trying to figure out how to make quarterbacks successful.
They're trying to figure out how to make the team successful,
and they don't have a perfect recipe for it. But
I think it all boils down to identity. That team
in Cleveland in twenty sixteen didn't have an identity. That
(20:12):
team in Washington in twenty fifteen had an identity. It
was just dysfunction, and everyone bought. Everyone bought into the dysfunction,
and we found ways to win games. So there's no
recipe for it. But I think if you have an identity,
that is the start, and the Giants are building that identity.
They need to lean into Cam Skataboo and Jackson Dart
(20:33):
one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Bill Kawer said that it looked like the Dolphins players
were disinterested.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Oh now that's not saying you quit, but it's close.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Yeah, it's close.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Maybe it's semantics, it's a friendlier word. What does disinterested
mean to you as a former player.
Speaker 17 (20:54):
It means that the Miami Dolphins need to blow it
all up Dan, they have to fire Mike McDaniel, and
I do also believe they have to get rid of
to a tongue of ioloa. And I'm a to a
guy you asked me, this is many shows ago, who
would I take. Would I take to a tongue of
Violoa or Justin Herbert, And I'd picked two because his
(21:16):
ability to play before the defense and get the ball
out in timing and rhythm, and his aggressiveness. But he's
known ten interceptions this year and he's known three interceptions
and back to back games. And I do believe Tua
himself has lost that locker room. We saw it last
week when he came out and called out, you know,
the leadership in the building. That wasn't just players, that
(21:38):
was leadership holistically in the entire building.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
And once it starts to creep out.
Speaker 17 (21:43):
Like that, for a guy like Tua who's always been
very cognizant of what he says to the public, that
to me means that it's going a lot worse than
what we're even seeing. And now it's affecting his play
to a level of like coach Kyer said, they're dis interested,
they don't want to play. Mike mcgannel does not look
like he's having fun right on the sidelines. Yeah, he's
(22:06):
not skipping and jumping and wearing the cool glasses anymore.
He's got like a hoodie on, like he's trying to
hide from somebody. So I don't know what is particularly
going on there, but I know they owe to a
one one hundred and forty one million still. But sometimes
you just got to reshuffle the deck and just start
all over.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Talking to RG three, Fox Football analyst, he was on
the call for BYU and Utah and you can check
out his podcast out of Pocket with RG three, he
had these comments, and I know there's pressure when.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You're a quarterback of you got to be a leader.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, well some lead by example, some lead by words,
some do a combination. It's almost like RG or that
two of them was trying to be something he wasn't
last week. I'm gonna be a leader. I'm gonna be honest.
I'm gonna say these things I'm calling you know people.
But then you go out and you throw three and
(23:00):
correct and then you throw three interceptions again.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Do you think he's trying to be somebody? He's not?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And that is this vocal guy, because it feels like
when he gets in front of a microphone, the microphone
always wins.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
He doesn't.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
That's a good you.
Speaker 17 (23:19):
Know, I got to pull on my own experience here
because you know, when you're losing, it.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Is really difficult to be that vocal.
Speaker 17 (23:28):
Leader in front of that microphone and try to hold
everybody in the organization accountable.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
I went through that.
Speaker 17 (23:36):
You know, you come off a loss and you say, hey,
you know it all starts with me, I've got to
be better and I've got to do this, and then
it's like what you say next after that determines how
the rest of your week and the rest of your
season is going to go. And I made that mistake.
So I understand where Tua is at because I said that,
and then I came back and I said, you know what,
(23:57):
the best this do this, and we got to do that.
And we got to your teammates. It's like they're looking
at you and they're watching it on TV. Their friends
are texting them and their families texting them what's going on,
and they don't they skip the first part, okay, yip,
that you said throwing me and I got it. They
go right to hey, man, he said you were catching
(24:17):
the ball. He said, y'all not getting open. And I
know that feeling. So I always feel for the quarterbacks
in those moments because you want to give you want
to you want to motivate you guys.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, but you want to be boring. RGI.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You gotta be boring in the press conference, in the
locker room. You can be animated, excited, you can do
all of that in front of us. Your job is
to say something, but not really say anything.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
And Dan, I learned that.
Speaker 17 (24:47):
I learned that I just didn't have the one hundred
and forty one million dollar contract now. And I think
a little bit of that comes with when you get
that payment, you feel a more of a responsibility to
be the catalyst for that leadership. And I think that's
where Tua is. He's learning on the job, you know,
the mistakes that a lot of guys make early in
(25:07):
their career, right in the.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Middle of his career.
Speaker 17 (25:10):
So I think he needs to watch this episode the
Dan Patrick Show and like be boring. It's okay to say, Hey,
it's on me. I gotta go watch the tape.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
B Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 17 (25:20):
They asked Jalen Hurts, awsome, hey what differently this week
that you didn't do last week?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
He's like, I don't know, I gotta go watch the tip.
Be boring.
Speaker 17 (25:29):
I'm telling you, it works every single time, and your
teammates will love you for it because they're all under
a microscope in this social media age.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
And I think TWOA is learning that really quickly.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
We're also learning quickly about it doesn't feel like anybody
has great stability as a coach, certainly in college that
you know, things change quickly. You'll get SMU overnight, Arizona
stayed overnight, uh, Indiana is back again, Texas Tech, Vandy,
and now you get these blue bloods where all of
(26:00):
a sudden, you know, Penn State or Florida and Florida State.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And will move on from you.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It just do you get that feeling of I mean,
it's survival of the fittest for these coaches trying to
hold onto these jobs.
Speaker 17 (26:16):
Yeah, Dan, it is. And you know, you make a
great point. And I said this three or four years ago.
I said that NIL and the transfer portal was going
to level out college football. And what that means is
it's going to be year to year. The days of
Alabama and Georgia and all these super teams being able
to just run through people every single year and constantly
(26:36):
be in the national.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Title race is over because their depth is gone.
Speaker 17 (26:40):
Dan, if I'm a quarterback, and I know this guy
is making I don't know, four or five million dollars
and I'm a freshman coming in or I'm a guy
in the portal.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I'm not going to that school.
Speaker 17 (26:52):
In the past, I could go to that school and
just beat him out because neither of us were making
money and the best guy was going to play.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
You have situations like last year with dj.
Speaker 17 (27:02):
Uyungalle at Florida State, where they're paying him a bunch
of money and everyone with eyes can see.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Hey, he's just not playing very well.
Speaker 17 (27:09):
But guess what, they have to play him because they're
paying him so much money. So now you look at
the way that everything is going in and these coaches
are on a year to year deal where one year
they're great, the next year they can be terrible because
if you pay the wrong guys, you're out of luck.
So I look at these blue bloods and I get
why they're struggling, but the boosters don't care. And when
(27:31):
they're willing to pay seventy eighty ninety million for you
not to coach somewhere, that lets you know how different
the landscape is. And Dan, I'm just trying to see
if I can get one of these head coaching jobs
and we can make this happen, and I can bring
you guys on board, and they can just fire us
not to work because this is crazy what's going on
in college football.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You would not want to be a coach today. You
would not want this, or do you?
Speaker 17 (27:56):
I think I would love to do it. First of all,
I love I love coaching. You have had opportunity to
be in overtime and coach these young athletes and seven
on seven. But to me, it boils down to your
head coach can no longer just be a great play caller.
They can't just be a guy that went through the
rounds and you know he knows.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
How to do this. You got to be a CEO.
Speaker 17 (28:18):
It's why Joey MacGuire at Texas Tech is such.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
A great head coach.
Speaker 17 (28:23):
He hires the right guys, sheil Wood at the defensive
coordinator and mack Lefwich as offensive cordnator. These guys are innovative,
they're young, they know how to call plays and put
their guys in position to be successful. But like you
look at Florida for example, I've said this for years now.
I think they should hire Tim Tebow I think they
should hurt Tim t Bow. If if Tim Tebow goes
(28:44):
into any home in Florida, you're telling me that those
parents aren't saying yep, sign me up, I'm coming.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
You got to put a great staff around him, because.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You can't hire somebody that you can't fire Robert.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
They can fire Tim t Bow.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, I know, but that's you don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's just like we've seen that, you know, Patrick Ewing
at Georgetown, Chris Malland at Saint John's, Clyde Drexler at Houston.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Now going to fire your guy?
Speaker 17 (29:07):
Now, Dan, do any of those guys give speeches like
Tim Tebow? Do any of those guys motivate like Tim
Tebow motivates. I'm not saying Tebow would take the job.
I'm great friends with Tim. I don't think you take
the job. But if I'm Florida, I'm trying to do
that because you need that level of exposure.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Now you ask him about the Florida job I have,
I have, and what did he say?
Speaker 17 (29:30):
His response is, you know, he's not chasing that. He's
not that, he's not interested at all. He's just not
chasing that. And I understand it you're the favorite son.
We saw that with frosst that Nebraska. You don't want
to have to fire your guy.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
But I'm just talking.
Speaker 17 (29:44):
About the overall thought process of teams in college football today.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
You got to give.
Speaker 17 (29:49):
These young men a reason to want to go there
because they can go to seven different schools and still
make it to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Before it was you go to Bama.
Speaker 17 (29:57):
You going to the league, You go to Georgia, you
go in to the league, and you're gonna win annational championship.
It's no longer that way.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
But you got Andrew Luck, who I think is gonna
end up coaching Stanford. I mean he's their general manager.
It feels like, you know, as competitive as he is,
he's like, I want to get closer to the game.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I could see him coaching at Stanford again.
Speaker 17 (30:15):
Andrew's doing it the smart way, right, Stanford's not a
great team, and he's not putting those losses on his record.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
He'll start coaching when they get betters.
Speaker 17 (30:27):
Then he's got a coach and when they're better. Hey,
they had Bear Bachmeyer the quarterback at BYU.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
No, So that dude is he's good. He's not afraid.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He is not afraid.
Speaker 17 (30:37):
He's not a freshman four point oh gpo GPA at
Stanford before he transferred out.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Extremely smart young man.
Speaker 17 (30:43):
I've known him for a couple of years now, fearless
and he showed that in the Holy War is pretty impressive.
His watch and number forty seven, Yeah, you know what,
you know what that number is. He played a running
back and middle linebacker when he was young, and he
said and when he switched over to quarterback, he kept
the number forty seven because it reminded him of his
primitive years. That is an interesting quarterback. That's the guy
(31:04):
you want to play for.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Great to talk to you again, thanks for joining us.
Such Dan, that's Robert Griffin Junior. The third he was
there for BYU Utah and his podcast out of Pocket
with RG three. Yeah, he and Jason were trying to
capture what they were seeing in provo and that backdrop
when the sun is setting is gorgeous. And that atmosphere
(31:28):
I remember when BYU played Miami when Ty Detmer was
there and that that was a thing like that was
an atmosphere there and uh Utah Byu it's great. But
BYU I think has won the last three.
Speaker 13 (31:41):
Yeah, pulling that backdrop sometimes looks like CG.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yes it does.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
There's some football stadiums like Appalachian State or Montana where
the background You're like that, that's.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Real, it's not real. That's not real. All right, we'll
take a break.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We will provide you with our best and worst of
the weekend after this.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
We had a caller who said that maybe we should
start referring to Joe Flacco as uh oh take off
on AKO or a sponsor. And Seaton said, well, why
don't we come up with a Joe Flacco T shirt?
And I didn't know he was going to come up
with a T shirt this quickly, but all of a sudden,
up on the website, you can order a Joe Flacco
(32:32):
T shirt.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Flack around and find out disgruntled Browns fans can order
this as well.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
Ok, your Bengals fan at the sgruntled Browns fan, Flack
around and find out it'll be up on.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
The website shortly. I don't know if it's there quite yet,
but it's going on. Okay, I'll be up there.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
I don't know, maybe this for this week or.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Okay, we'll do it until who do the Bengals play
next week?
Speaker 13 (32:54):
Good news, Dan, they faced the Jets.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Yes, they're about to flack around and find out.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Okay, all right, maybe we could get a two week
run out of this T shirt here. Well, in South
Bend we did see some passhole T shirts the best. Yeah,
a couple of them were there. Yeah, inspired by Todd.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
That was fun.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
That was fun.
Speaker 14 (33:15):
We're fix some pictures. There was a damn three.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
Piece poster on.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, it was nice, great crowd. I think next year
they want to put us in front of touchdown Jesus,
that's what.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I think they realized that we were kind of a
professional organization. We give the presentation of being professional because
the big German did a wonderful job. Like the setup
was beautiful, the backdrop was great, and the guests were great.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
It was fun, fun atmosphere there. All right, how.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
About we give our best and worst of the weekend.
Todd with your Broncos hat and your next gear on?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
What do you have?
Speaker 14 (33:51):
I was going to go with Otani's a Friday Night
Game four. But I think it's obvious bo Nix of
the Broncos going thirty three in the fourth at Mile High,
stunning comeback and went over the Giants. Worst Wisconsin football.
What happened to the Badgers program? They've lost five straight
oh and four in the conference. The last two games,
they've scored a total of zero points. Thirty four nothing
lost at home to the Buckeyes, thirty seven nothing lost
to Iowa. Next opponent the Oregon Ducks.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Good luck to Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, bigger game, more important game Denver coming back to
win or show Heyo Tawny's game on Friday night, tidd.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
That's by far what the Broncos do.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Okay, of course Seaton Best and worst of the weekend.
My best of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Ohio State quarterback Julian Saying went to thirty six for
forty two, three hundred and ninety three yards, four touchdowns,
Just the dominant performance up in Wisconsin. My worst of
the weekend, Man cam Ward. I don't know if it's
the dad in me now, but like when I see
like he just got to the NFL, all of his
dreams are coming true and it's just a tough season
(34:49):
for him. I just want to give the guy a
hug and be like, hey, buddy, keep your head up,
keep going, keep pushing forward.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
You're going to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
By the way, I said this a couple of weeks ago,
and I firmly believe it. Oh Ohio State might be
better this year than last year, but it's quiet. We've
been focusing on coaches that are in jeopardy, on the
hot seat, losing their jobs. Some surprise teams as well.
In Ohio State is just playing great, great football. Marvin
(35:17):
Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
My best at the weekend. Jeremiah loved the running back
from Norre Dame twenty four carries, touring in twenty eight
yards in a touchdown with a big win over USC.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
And the kickoff, and absolutely.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
He's the He was my early pick for the Heisman.
But anyway, worst, it's tough.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
For a running back. Tough for running back to win
the Heisman.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
They have to do something. They have to play defense.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Even if you get two thousand yards, it feels like
you have to do something, as you know, add on
to that, what.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Else do you have?
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Worst of the weekend Carson Beck from Miami four interceptions
and a close loss against Louisville.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
No good.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I think you took some heat.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Bady threw some teammates under the bus too, or it
felt like he was maybe backing away from all the blame.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:08):
Point he was asked what happened on a specific play, oh,
and he said, well, it was a mispecommunication. But then
he could have easily bailed there. He said, the receiver
ran the wrong route and that's what hurt him.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Social media crushed him because they were like, yeah, he
did this stuff at Georgia.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
PAULI besten worst to the week.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
That's the weekend.
Speaker 10 (36:27):
I'm going to go with the Notre Dame running back
combination of Jeremiah Love and Jadarian Price. They ran for
three fifteen two touchdowns. Price added one hundred yard kickoff return,
which was really necessary when USC was making that saucy.
And the worst of the weekend. I'm going with Wisconsin football.
I can't remember them in my lifetime being bad. I
had to go back the last time they were under
(36:48):
five hundred last year. They're gonna be well under five
hundred this year. The last time they were under five
hundred was two thousand and one. They're always good, yeah,
above average good in that realm. It's it's very weird
to see. They've always relied on that great running game
and a decent defense.
Speaker 13 (37:05):
I don't know what's happening. I really don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, they're usually penciled in for a ten wins, and
they do run the football. By the way, Curry College
running back Monty Quinn rushed for five hundred and twenty
two yards in one game. They beat Nichols Rachel Nichols
seventy one to twenty seven. But Monty Quinn five twenty two,
(37:29):
twenty two, five twenty two.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Oh James in Virginia.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Hey James, think.
Speaker 15 (37:38):
We're taking my call? Brother, Happy Monday. D Dan salute
the commanders man day time, all the time, every time,
although I think the commanders we got it all the time.
On defense yesterday, Man, that was definitely my worst man.
They got completely man handled man and to boot man
Jayden five. Man was not alive yesterday some promise, but
(38:00):
got hurt man. And it's gonna be some tough fledding
ahead if he's not under center, man, because like I
said before, they got a tough stretch coming up. But Man,
the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott and that offense, And I
don't know what it is about teams that can't play
defense all of a sudden want to play defense against Washington.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Man.
Speaker 15 (38:17):
But when you go to NFCY Championship, you're gonna get
the best. But my best of the weekend for sure
was shooting the positive based video with my mother.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
Man.
Speaker 15 (38:26):
She's seventy nine years old in the Cowboys fan since
the nineteen sixties, and man, it was a wonderful time
going through that process with her. I hope you get
an opportunity to show it, man. And then just one
last thing in college football, it's Pavia, a Heidman Trophy candidate.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
Man.
Speaker 15 (38:41):
I know Simpson is balling in Mendoza, Indiana as well,
but man, Pavia is taking a team that had never
been good, and all of a sudden, Man, they're in
conversations of making a playoff birth Man. But yeah, shout
out to my mom again, Rachel Man, I love you, Mom,
and thank you to my wife, ma Oni. Y'all have
a wonderful day.
Speaker 8 (38:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Nine James never feels like he has a bad day.
There are days that aren't as good as his bad days.
But yeah, he's taking a pie to the face and
probably sending that to Tyler Gus in La Hi Gus.
Speaker 8 (39:15):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope you're and the boys had
a great weekend. Great trip back from South Bend. Speaking
of South Bend, worse than my weekend washing USC lose
yet again to a ranked opponent. Not sure if we'll
ever see.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
A winning record against the ranked teams under Lincoln Riley.
I never thought I'd say that, but it's starting to
look like that, kind of getting a little worried.
Speaker 8 (39:41):
That's the worst, the best of the weekend. Out of
all the greatness that was on this weekend, I cannot
overstep show Hail Tani. You know, we thought last year
the six for six game was one of the greatest
baseball performances ever, only to be trump by this. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I told Tyler that Shoho Tani had disappeared through this playoffs. Yeah,
something very interesting happened this past week on Instagram. The
Dodgers posted a video on their Instagram of Joho Tani
taking batting practice, and he believed it or not, he
hit one out of the stadium even further than the
one that he hit on Friday night. If you look
(40:19):
at that comments section, it is filled with comment saying,
who cares get on base?
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Dude?
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Do like do this in a game? Why aren't you
doing this in a game? It was frustration to the
max some Saturday morning. Joho, Tani is the greatest, you know,
chosen one in the history of this city.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Gus, thank you, thanks for the phone call, but quietly
not knowing anything, but it was masked by the Dodgers
playing great. Certainly is starting pitching. Ron Darling, former pitcher.
He was on the call for TBS. He will join
us coming up top of the hour. He was there
to witness show. Hey Tani, Fritzie Seat and Marv Paul yours.
(41:03):
Truly we're back after this
