Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio, our number.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two on a meet Friday. Absolutely love any chance I
get to be up here in Connecticut with the dan
Nets talking about meat, talking about football somehow, talking about
Paprika pronunciation because Fritzy pulled a Fritzy at the end
(00:26):
of our number one. By the way, this is what's
so great about life and the Internet. There's a lot
of bad stuff about the Internet. There's a lot of
bad stuff about social media, but the instantaneous access to
feedback and to information is incredible. We got to talk
(00:46):
about last night's game because it was one of the
worst games I've ever seen, and Fritzy is wearing a
blonde wig for some reason as.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
A result, so we got to get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I got to tell you about what I'm doing Monday
night because I want every single one of you to
put it on your bucket list.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But first let me do two things.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Let me welcome in everybody listening on all the different
Fox Sports Radio affiliates over four or five hundred, which
is incredible, including one where I reside in Harrisburg, which
is very cool. We're live on Peacock. I know at
least my mom and my mother in law Rachel are watching.
Thank you guys for watching. That's a great thing about grandma's,
(01:31):
my daughter's grandma's. You can check us out at Danpatrick
dot com. You can call in eight seven seven to
three DP show. You can always hit us up on
social media at DP show on Twitter X. I'm at
Ross Tucker NFL, and I promise I check during every
commercial break. Love those of you that check us out
when you get a chance later via podcast. Mine is
(01:53):
the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. So this is what's so funny.
We go to break, okay, and Steve Stone hits me
up on social at Ross Tucker NFL and says might
be a regional thing Pa Prika down south, such as
Fritzi was saying, John Light Junior, Pa Prika, I'm from
(02:17):
Central Virginia.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Okay. So we're getting several people that are backing up
Fritzi on this. You know what I did. I did the.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Little Google machine, okay, on my phone, and I said
Paprika pronunciation.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Paprika.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Did you guys hear that? Was that loud enough?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Paprika?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
It's definitely a puh puh situation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Puh Paprika.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And then I feel like I'm I feel like I'm
in my cousin Vinnie, you know, I feel like I'm
presenting my evidence, you know, like Joe Pessi. And then
it was brought to me document number twenty seven oh three.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What is his name?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay? Uh oh yeah, there was a little something there
is what I say? It's Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. I
say Pessi. You said Joe Pessi? Yeah, Irony, oh yess what?
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Jesse Joe Pessi? Is it a Pesci? Would be worse
than saying Paprika? Is it a Paprika?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
All right? But listen, it's Pesci? All right. Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
According to Ali Baba dot Coyle, I don't even know
what that is.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
That's one of the sites I here. I looked at
a few different places and they all had the same
is that.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Like reputable Ali Baba dot I wouldn't buy any goods
where you go for information time.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I got a bad basketball jersey. I think once of
them from overseas. It's a thank you Todd all right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The connect pronunciation of paprika is pa prika. This three
syllable word places emphasis on the second syllable. Second syllable
fritzi with a soft a sound at the beginning. Many
English speakers mispronounce it as paprika or pa prika. So anyway,
(04:20):
you know, you know people in life say I hate
to say I told you so.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't I love it.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I loved like I told you so. All right, so
last night.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Your Broncos Fritzi won ten to seven, bad win, but
you're wearing a blonde wig.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Please explain.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
We had a call the other day wanted it to
have a I don't know what he was gonna get
in return if it didn't work out, but basically he said,
if the Broncos don't win by at least ten, I
would have to wear a Mark Davis Raiders owner wig.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Was there any chance that that was a guy named
David in Ohio?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's very likely who that was.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I think there was actually a tweet a little while
ago saying he looks forward to seeing me in the wig.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Eight seven seven to three DP show.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's go to Oh wow, there's so many callers who
I could pick all of you?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Oh you know what, I'll go to David in Ohio. Hello, David, Hey,
what's up Bra? That'd be meat Friday. Yeah, Todd, I
was watching the game last night and I thought the
Broncos were going to go down and score and cover
that ten and it was going to be a push,
but they ended up not.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I love the wrong time you do on the show.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
And that hair piece looks very plattering on you, So
thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Thanks David.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I like that you just accept betts from callers like that,
and you can't wait to do a pie in the
face with a caller. Remember that guy in Central Pa
that reached out to me and wanted me to smash
a pie in his face?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
So I did it outside of Costco.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Yeah, you showed up and did it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That was amazing, all right. So enough about the last
night's game. Don't even know what else to say. It
was a terrible, terrible game.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It reminded me of of what a lot of the
Thursday night games used to be. Like, Thursday night football
used to be bad. It's been good as of late.
Monday night football is typically pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Monday Night.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'll be in the radio booth with Kevin Harlan. What
will he say to me?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
When I walk into the booth, Fritzy.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
How's it going Ross? This is the NFL on Westwood One.
We'll step aside. That's one of the best things you do.
You book, guess and you do Harlan.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
He gets very excited.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I have a question, Paully.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
After Kevin Harley says that to me, when I walk
into the booth, what will I say?
Speaker 8 (06:43):
I love lambeau I love Mustard, I love brats, and
I love football in that order, in that order.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yes, Seaton, when you go do a game at a
I'm gonna call it a classic stadium, one that's been
around for a very long time.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Right when you go sit down and you're.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
In I'm assuming a booth, right, and you're gonna sit
there and there's a table and stuff. Is the inside
where you're working more modern than what the stadium appears,
or is it like, hey guys, we're all here in
the press box and like, oh, the only outlet is
over there and we're all plugging into that one outlet.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It is a great question, and the answer is lambeau
Field is amazing. And I mean this as sincerely as.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I mean anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Everyone listening, everyone watching, please put it on your bucket list,
please try to get to a game at some point
at lambeau Field Seaton. They have done the most unbelievable
job I've ever seen, where if you're sitting in the
stands and looking at the field, it feels like it's
(07:57):
still nineteen sixty and Bart Starr and Jerry Kramer and
Forrest greg and Jim Taylor and Paul Horning. I could
do this all day. Ray nichke that they're gonna come
out there. And then the outside, what's the outside of
a stadium called the facade? Yea, the facade ook Okay,
the facade looks like it's from the nineteen fifties or sixties,
(08:21):
very well done, looks like it's redone almost looks like
an IVY League.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Stadium right on the outside.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But then the guts of it, it's really modern. They
have all these nice luxury boxes. The booth, the press
box and booth are amazing. I don't know what's that
is that called retro fitting it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They did, but somehow they made the inside and the
outside look just the way you would expect it to.
But then the middle, the middle part looks is as
modern as anything.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Oh wow, that's really interesting. So they kept sort of
like the that like same classic charm, but modernized everything
for the actual workings of the stadium.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, and I can't emphasize this enough, okay, because it
really doesn't show that.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
It looks like it's been like in a glass case
since the day was built.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Incredible, And the grass is so amazing. And the craziest
thing about it Packers fans are in the stadium an
hour before the game. When the punters and kickers run
out fifty five minutes before kickoff, the crowd goes crazy.
It's the wildest thing. I can't emphasize enough. I remember
(09:32):
going there as a rookie.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It felt like we were driving down my street in
while Missing Pennsylvania. It felt like we were in just
your normal suburban town, Delaware Avenue in Wile, Missing Pa.
And then we made a right turn and it would
(09:56):
be like, picture, right next to your best friend's house
in your neighborhood, there's an NFL stadium. I mean now,
I know that there's probably bigger roads you can take
to get there. And I think because it was the
team bus for the Redskins, they took us on back roads,
but it still is wild now.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
In fairness, they have bought.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Some of the surrounding real estate and they have you know,
commercialize it a little bit more so it's not quite
what it was my rookie year twenty four years ago,
but it is still incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
PAULI.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Yeah, I've been there once in the eighties and twice
in the past ten years, and like seen said, they
haven't changed the tone. There's that street, it's called Shadow Lane.
It's right by the field, right by Lombardi Ave and
there's a bunch of little houses and they have tailgates
in the back. But they did renovations for lambeau Field.
They started them, I think maybe twenty years ago was
a big one, and they kept the entire tone, the color,
(10:57):
and the outside does not look like it was completely
renov Now they added modern amenities, but it's kind of
the opposite of what the Chicago Bears did with Soldier Field.
They basically landed a spaceship on Soldier Field and it
doesn't match at all, and like what they kept the
outside of Soldier Field in the park area, but Soldier
Field did not go the same tone as Lambefield and
tried to match the outside the facade.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So here's my question for all four of you and
everybody listening or watching on Peacock. You can hit us
up eight seven seven to three DP show, or you
can hit us up on social at DP show. I
am at Ross Tuck, NFL. What's your number one bucket
(11:40):
list sports venue, not event venue. What's the one venue
you haven't gotten to that you really want to.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I will start.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
This is actually kind of a combo platter, I would say,
because I feel like you have to go there for
the actual event. But it's the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
I don't think it would be the same if I
just went to a random UCLA home game. I think
it's gotta be the actual Rose Bowl. I have watched
(12:17):
that game every January first my entire life. I have
seen how it's dark on the East Coast, but out
there the sunset in southern California it looks amazing. I
there might be others, but right now, for me, in
terms of ones I haven't seen yet, number one.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
On my bucket list would be the Rose Bowl. PAULI.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I've worked three games at the Rose Bowl and it's
very similar to what you said. It's a neighborhood and
you're driving through this middle class neighborhood in Pasadena and
all of a sudden you go down a hill and
there it is, out of nowhere. It looks like it
doesn't all really. Yes, it's a complete middle I never
knew that. Yeah, you go down a hill, you turn
right and there's the parking in there as a stadium
and it's old school light on the amenities and they
(13:03):
do the flyver. It's it's worth it, totally worth it.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Fritzie, do you have one?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I do.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I don't know if it's a little less about as
you were saying, about the actual facility, more about like
the specific game i'd want to see there. But I'd
love to sit next to the Cameron crazies and go
to a North Carolina duke basketball game at Cameron Indoor
is something I would really like to experience.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You know what, You're a thousand percent right that that
might almost even beat out Rose Bull for me. Now
that you say that, I you know how many of
those games have we watched over the years?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
All right, what about Seaton?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Cameron Indoor was gonna be one of mine. I've
always wanted to go to more racing events, you know,
so like or whether it's Kentucky Derby or Indianapolis, you know,
motor speedway. Yeah, I haven't done much of that. A
lot of mine, for me are soccer stadiums because I
really like soccer. And you know, it's weird though, because
(13:53):
we're fortunate enough doing this that we've probably all been
to quite a few stadiums. You know, I've never been
to a Dodger game, though I would love to go
to a Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You know what's interesting, Seaton, I'm not a soccer guy
at all. Okay, not at all.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I really want to go to like a Premier League, manach.
I really want to go to some type of international
soccer in the UK or in Spain or whatever, and
I want to feel the passion and the energy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I want to feel what that do?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Off the top of your head, Seaton, Like, is there
one I should go to?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, I mean there's a lot, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But like what's like the most well known, like.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
If you're going to say in Spain like bernabout is
a real Madrid camp? New is Barcelona? Those are pretty
iconic sports venues.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You know, I've done a couple I've been in Europe
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's never matched up where there was a Premier League
match I could go to.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
You know, the crazy thing is is that there's so
many tiers and it's almost like, uh, people are probably
kill me for saying this, but even like almost like
the lower you go in some ways, the more passionate
it gets in the tiers. So you could go, you
could have just as good a time in a smaller
stadium that holds five or ten thousand people than you
would in a place that holds sixty thousand.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Got it, Marv? What do you got?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I was gonna say the Rose Bowl, Well, uh, fog
Allen Fieldhouse at Kansas Okay. I would love to go
there see the Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, that entire thing. But
the Rose Bowlden, like you said earlier, to me, it's
really kind of about the building. I kind of liken
it to Madison Square Garden where Lebron and Kobe don't
(15:36):
play the Knicks, they play at the garden. Yeah, like
the like the arena or the stadium is the star.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So what's so interesting is I feel like we're definitely
missing some I mean, we had multiple Cameron Indoor, we
had multiple Rose Bowls. There's got to be like five
that were totally missing on Seaton.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Well, yeah, I mean like nobody has said Wrigly, nobody
has said Fenway. Probably we've all been to this no, right,
but that's what I mean. Like, there's so many listening.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, people listening. Go ahead, Fallow.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
I'm lucky enough. I've been to a lot of them,
a lot of the ones we mentioned, you know, Notre
Dame or regularly and all that stuff. There's one that
popped in my head. I want to see a Pirate's
home game. Every time I see the Pirates stadium on TV,
it just looks gorgeous. It's very well done, the city
and back. I've never been to Pittsburgh and it just
looks like a great game day experience. I know they're
not a great team, but you talk about the stadium,
(16:26):
I think that's a cool stadium and a cool looking
city from afar that I've just never been to.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Eight seven seven to three DP show is the number.
We want to know your number one ranked bucket list venue.
We also want to know if you got any thoughts
on your favorite mustard. Someone is guilty, No one is innocent.
In the new drama series All Her Fault, a seemingly
(16:52):
perfect families world is shattered when their young son goes missing.
That doesn't sound good now streaming now only on Peacock.
Andy Staples from On three Sports is not missing.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
He's here.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He's a college football superstar. Love talking with Andy. He'll
join us to talk about the first CFP rankings, all
these head coaching openings, and a really fun weekend in
college football when we return eighteen minutes past the hour
here on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (17:23):

Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 10 (17:54):
All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube
again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple f check us out
on YouTube and subscribe.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know I love the quick response time of social
media at Ross Tucker, NFL getting some really good ones.
By the way, you know, this is kind of a
different category. But somebody said the Army Navy game, which
is a great point. It's not a venue though, that's
that's an event, not a venue.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
But yes, absolutely put Army Navy on your bucket list.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Bob Frabele said, my uncle and aunt turned me on
to Penn State football years ago. So west Shore home
Field at Beaver Stadium, that's a unique one because that's
like you gotta go for a whiteout. That's like, that's
a venue, that's an event at a venue. It's kind
of like the Rose Bowl at the Rose Bowl. It's
(18:54):
the white out at West Shore home Field at Beaver
Stadium at Penn State. Yes, Paul, and it's great as
the Army game is. I'd suggest you go to an
Army home game and then a Navy home game against
a random opponent in see West Point in Seannapolis games.
You've worked, you've been at West Point before. It's great experience.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Wembley Stadium overseas. And Lombardi what's lombardyamb I think he
means Lambeau. Oh, I think he met Lambell. All right,
let's find out.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I think Andy Staples has probably been to every cool
college football venue you can possibly go to. I'm sure
there's some that you know what, even Andy probably has
one or two, and maybe it's a group of five
stadiums that he hasn't been to. Maybe he wants to
go to that Dome North Dakota State. I guarantee Andy
(19:42):
has some that he hasn't been to yet that he
wants to. He's a good friend of mine. He does
an unbelievable job in all sincerity. If you are into
college football and you're not following Andy's work or following
him on social media, at Andy underscore Staples, you are
doing it wrong. Andy, really appreciate the time. Great to
(20:02):
see you. I guess I gotta start out with these
two questions. So one of which is what's on your
bucket list college football venue that you have not been
to yet.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
I've got a few, and you actually just mentioned a
couple of them. So Mikey Stadium at Army I overcovered
a game there. I want to do that. The Fargo
Dome you mentioned at North Coast State, the Kibbi Dome
at Idaho, seventeen thousand seat Dome, Moscow, Idaho. I have
driven driven through the parking lot when I was in
Pullman to do some Washington State stuff, and obviously Moscow,
(20:36):
idahos eight miles away, so I drove. I was like,
I gotta see the Kibbi Dome, but I want to
see a game in the Kibbi Dome, and then yeah,
those would be my three. Also, I need to commend
you Ross on the impassioned defense of spicy Deli mustard
because it is the world's greatest condiment.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Oh you know what I gotta tell you. I already knew.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I liked Greg Cosel, I liked Andy Staples. I had
no idea they were part of the spicy mustard tribe.
I didn't know they were part of the family. Although
they're really smart, successful people, so you would assume that
they know that spicy mustard's by far the best mustard.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, here's the second part of that question. Andy.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And by the way, I've done a bunch of games
at Mikey Stadium.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I couldn't possibly more highly recommend it.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
I believe I've heard you and Jason Horowitz doing games
at Mikey stadium before.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, And honestly, Andy, the crazy thing about Mikey Stadium
is it's actually probably best observed from the press box
because it's so elevated that you can then see the
reservoir and the water and the Hudson River.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
It's actually better almost the higher you are, if that
makes sense. But you're gonna tell me, give me one
or two.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Or three that I probably haven't been to that, you know,
power for whatever. What should be on my college football
venue bucket list?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
If you've never been to a game at LSU, if
you've never been to Tiger Stadium, that is it's the
best tailgating in college football, and when they're good, it's
probably the best overall stadium experience in college football. It's
just so cool and the tailgating is incredible that people
go all out. It's not you know, we talk about
the Old Miss tailgating, but Ole Miss doesn't allow open flames,
(22:26):
so limits what you can cook. Like they're grilling gator
like when they play Florida, they're grilling gator at LSU.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
So it's it's incredible.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
Going into the one that people maybe don't think about.
If you get a chance to go to a k
State home game at Kansas State home game Manhattan, Kansas
bill Sider Family Stadium. They do it right there, like
that's a great crowd. It's a great town, just a
great little college town, the Aggieville district with the bars
and the restaurants and everything. That's an that's a fun
(23:01):
one that I don't think people think about when they're like, oh,
these are the best atmospheres in college It's one of
the best atmospheres in college football. And the other one
You'll never believe it until you actually get there. To
autsin stadium in Oregon, sixty thousand people sound like one
hundred thousand people. I don't know how they do it,
but it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
There's something weird about the Pacific Northwest and the acoustics
because I guarantee you the people in Seattle are not
louder than the people in Philadelphia, but yet when you're
in that stadium in Seattle, it is so loud. They've
done a nice job with the accoustic.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
The Seahawks Stadium.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I've driven past it, I've never been inside it, but
it does look like it's just built perfectly to capture this.
Maybe Autson's secret Autson is sort of like an extreme
version of the old sombrero in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yes, and so you've got these two.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
Really high middle parts that just kind of bounce off
each other, and I think that's what helps.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
All right. So, Andy, we are, I guess, a year
and a half into the new.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
College football playoff tournament structure, and I know it could
be changing, But I guess has it been a good
thing or a bad thing so far? Are you a
fan or not a fan of it?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So far?
Speaker 11 (24:14):
I love the twelve team playoff. I don't want them
to go any bigger. If they go sixteen, fine, I
know they've talked about that, because that just that doesn't
really add another round, It just keeps it the same
general structure. But don't go any bigger than that. Like,
this is good. I like the stress and the adjecta
that it causes among the teams from twelve to twenty
(24:35):
that still have a chance. I like the fact that
if you win the Big twelve, or if you win
the ACC even if you didn't have the greatest year,
you're in.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I think that's pretty cool. So I like this format.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
I thought four was too small, Like it's still the
most exclusive playoff format in major American sports, like the
fewest number of teams get in the all this percentage
of teams get in, and I think that's great, but
it needed to be bigger than four. So this this
feels like the perfect number to me.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I also think when it was four, we really only
talked about who was five, six, and seven and maybe eight.
Now that it's twelve, people are looking at who's fourteen,
who's sixteen, who's eighteen? I saw on your show you
were apoplectic that Miami's that much further down than Notre Dame.
(25:31):
Is that the biggest thing that jumped out to you?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, because why'd they bother playing the game?
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Like, if they're gonna have the same record, and it's
not like Notre Dame's played much better competition than Miami
throughout the year.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
They haven't.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Their their schedules are fairly comparable, and they have the
same record, and they played and Miami won.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
How in the world can they be eight spots apart?
That makes no sense at all. And that's that's what bother.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
I mean, if you're gonna do that, just simulate the
whole season on a computer. Don't even bother playing the
games because that the results of the games need to
matter at some point.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
How much do you wait what happened recently versus what
happened at the start?
Speaker 11 (26:10):
It all matters ross, It doesn't matter when you played
the like it all matters. It doesn't just because you
played it in September doesn't give you a mulligan for losing.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I would agree, But wouldn't you agree if two teams
are ten and two and one of them lost the
first two won the next ten, the other won the
first ten, lost the last two, don't you think that
there should be some nod given to the teammates.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Team that lost the first two.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Where there's there only two really good games and everybody
else was not very good.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
I'm not I love Notre Dame. I love Notre Dame.
It will defend their independence till the day I die. Well,
well fight anybody who says Notre Dame needs to join
a conference.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I love Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame is a
real good team.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
I think Notre name is probably gona wind up in
the college football playoff, mostly because I think Miami is
gonna lose another one along the way and and Notre
Dame's not like they're both gonna They're both gonna play Pitt,
and maybe Pitt beats Miami and doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 11 (27:12):
But you gotta you gotta have results matter. You can't
just say, well, it didn't matter, same record, whatever they play,
like you you have the ultimate event.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
What if they played well? They played all right?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Maybe the bigger question in college football right now is,
with all these guys getting fired, why has there not
been any hires made yet? Like, why why hasn't Virginia
Tech jumped on James Franklin.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I mean he would be.
Speaker 11 (27:45):
Maybe James Franklin is waiting for Florida State to open up.
Maybe James Franklin wants to go coach at Auburn.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So you think it's there's a pecking order of available
candidates and those guys are waiting until they see what
all their options are.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh yeah, James Franklin's going to have options.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
If he thought his best option was Virginia Tech and
Virginia Tech was offering him the job, he would have
already taken it. But I think he's going to have
quite a few options, So we don't know yet what
all the options are going to be, because we'll see
what happens with Florida State. That's still very much up
in the air. They're playing Clemson this week. If they
want out Mike Orwell will be fine, but if things
(28:29):
go badly that their fan base is itching for a change,
even though would be very expensive. Kentucky's another one. You know,
Mark Stoops beat Auburn that got Hugh Freeze fired last week.
If they lose, you know, to Louisville, if they lose
to Florida, I don't think Mark Stoops is all that safe,
even though he has the most school unfriendly buy out
(28:51):
in the country of thirty seven million dollars do within
sixty days of the firing, all in one lump sum.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I mean I try to get fired at this point,
that would be all right.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
So what about, Like, I guess, what's.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The value in firing these guys so early if you're
not gonna then make a hire. I mean, I live
in Central Pennsylvania, penn States losing recruits left and right.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I thought the whole point.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Of firing him early, if you're gonna do that, was
to get somebody else in there and rally, But.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
You're not going to hire somebody who's actually coaching another
team right now. They're gonna finish their season, So like,
who are you going to hire? You hire an NFL coach,
They're just gonna leave their NFL team.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Like, so, then what's the boy? You get Pat Fitzgerald?
Speaker 11 (29:40):
You could get Pat Fitzgerald now, and I think he's
one who has multiple options and is waiting to see
could you what winds up?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Could you agree with an agent for a guy like
Bob Chesney from JMU.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
But just not announce it but kind of know that
has happened many many times. That's that happened with Scott
f when he went from UCF Nebraska. And you fire
the coach during the season to tell your fan base
that you're making the change that they're clamoring for, to.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Tell them you hear them. That's why you do it.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
A lot of schools do it because they see a
ton of empty seats and they're like, oh god, the
fans are not even going to come back this season
if we don't do something and show them we care
enough to make a change.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Do you think Kurt Signetti has kind of ruined this
whole thing because it will.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
He's good. I love it.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
I think he has broken every bad coach's excuse, well,
every bad coach who makes excuses.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You just point to Kurt Signetti now like he can
do it, why can't you? Right?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
But how much of that is I don't want to
say fluky, because obviously they've accomplished at all.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Right, they've accomplished what they've accomplished.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
But I guess my point would be, you can't all
be twelve and oh, you can't all be eleven and one.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
You can't all be twelve and oh. But you also
can't be in year three or year four where your
trend line is heading down, your trajectory is heading down,
and you're saying, well, we just need more time to build.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
No, you don't you know by year two if you
if you made the right higher or not.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You know? Do you feel, though, Andy, like we should
be at the point in college football, especially when I
look at some of these SEC schedules and like who
Florida had to play this year or who Texas has
to play? I feel like this is just my perspective.
I don't think it should be as soon as you
get a third loss we're gonna fire you when you
(31:34):
have the schedule.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
Tillioner was twenty two and twenty three and three plus
seasons at Florida.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'm a Florida grad.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Yeah, I can tell you right now five hundred football
is not acceptable at the University of Florida. Three and
a half years is more than enough time to get
better than five hundred.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Man. So the way you're making it sound, this is
gonna be the new will. You either have standards or
you don't. That's really what it is now.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
The Penn State one, yes, we can argue about that
one all day because James Franklin was winning, was successful,
but he wasn't getting them what they wanted.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
What they wanted national titles.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
And if that's what you want, I'm not one to
tell the consumer what they do and don't want. The
Penn State fans want national titles. Now, getting that is
going to be difficult, Like I think the Penn State job,
of all the ones open, is the toughest one to
take right now because you will be judged against what
James Franklin was doing, which means you'd better start winning
(32:34):
double digit games immediately. You'd better start competing for the
Big Ten title and in the College Football Playoff immediately.
It's kind of like when Georgia fired Mark Richt and
hired Kirby Smart. He was in the national title game
in year two. Great, but yere one when he was
you know he I think he was seven and five
or six and six, it was like, oh boy, what
is this? So you have to succeed immediately if you're
(32:59):
in that job. But like the order job, he was
not getting it done, so they fired him. Auburn, he's
not getting it done, so they fired him.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I guess it's a great point about landing spot because
entry point means a great deal. Franklin by all accounts,
and it was a top ten program over the last
ten years. They just weren't top five. Penn State believes
they have the resources to be top five. I guess,
you know, Franklin used to say this all the time,
but I'll get your opinion. I'm not sure people realize
(33:30):
how hard it is to go from top ten to
top five.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Because top five is exactly right.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's Georgia, Alabama, it's Ohio State, Like there can only
be five in the top five.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
It's the hardest part. It's the hardest move.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Dan Mullen mentioned that when he was at Florida where
he wins ten games, he wins the Orange Bowl and
they interview him on the field after the Orange Bowl
and he said, it's that eleventh and twelfth they're the
toughest step.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
And he was righting. I mean, he ended up gotting
fired at Florida.
Speaker 11 (33:59):
It is very hard the places where they expect national championships.
The margins are so thin, and they're going to make
mistakes too. Because look at what Georgia did. They fired
a really good coach and Mark Richt, and they hired
an even better Coachan Kirby Smart. That's not gonna happen
most of the time. Most of the time, the person
(34:22):
you hire is not going to be as good as
the person you just fired.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
If that person's winning ten games a year, check him
out on social media. He's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
He's all over college football at Andy underscore Staples.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
We got a good weekend this weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Indiana's double digit favorites against Penn State. That's a real
thing in society. It's unbelievable. Thank you, Andy, Me, Thanks Ross.
Love diving into some college football. I'm a big college
football guy. I'm also a big Meet Friday guy, and
I like this little segment that we do. Now or
(34:58):
you guys do, I should say called best in the Week,
best weekend, best week in sports, best week in sports,
led by Paul when we come back forty two minutes
past the hour here on the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
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

Speaker 2 (35:21):
There's nothing like a kings Hawaiians slider Sunday to enjoy
NFL games with friends and family. Make that watch party
or tailgate special and pick up a pack of kings
Hawaiian this weekend. We are sliding in the weekend. One
(35:41):
o'clock on Sunday Eastern. You got the Patriots and the Bucks.
How about four o'clock Rams Niners is a juicy matchup
Sunday night Steelers Chargers Monday night the game I'll be
in the booth for Westwood one National Radios and the
Eagles with Kevin Harland.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And then college football has some fun matchups too. It's saucy. Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Number seven BYU number eight, Texas Tech number nine, Oregon
at number twenty.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Iowa.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
That's a legit tough test for Dan Lanning and the Ducks.
And then I love that Navy not Dame play every
year the ninety eighth time.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Navy has a really good team.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
This year, they kind of they lost the game last
week to North Texas. We'll see if they can give
the Irish a better game than they did last year.
Is there one of those that you guys are most
looking forward to?
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Seaton?
Speaker 5 (36:39):
You know, I hate to say it because I love
Oregon as a state. I love Portland, even though I
know Oregon's not located there. I think that might be
like an upset of the week Iowa over Oregons.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Her Iowa is playing very very well. I love watching
Iowa play. They might be as well coached, you know,
like you talk to guys that come to the NFL
from Iowa or you watch their tape. It is their technique.
They're like pros when they get to the NFL.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Yes see, they feel like Iowa is the kind of
team too that like it feels like they like to
punch you in the mouth a bit. And I don't
know that Oregon likes getting punched in the mouth very much.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
You know, I will say this Oregon, I think is
more physical than Perhaps they're getting credit for Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Not against Sandonyana. They weren't.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Uh, you know, I would say that the Navy Notre
Dame game Notre Dame Canty can't afford a loss of
any type. But Navy's good for like once a decade,
once every twelve years taking down Notre Dame. I think
the last time was twenty sixteen. They did in twenty ten,
so it's it's not inconceivable this is as big as
it gets for Navy.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
For over forty years, tire rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
How, what and where they drive.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. Let's get
to this best week in sports. I'm very curious if
any of you guys have the same choice as me.
(38:14):
Let's start in the way back with Fritzie Davis back there.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
I'm going back to last Sunday since it's within the
calendar week. The Steelers defense forcing six turnovers, twenty seven
to twenty home win over the Colts. I think that
was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Steelers defense had the best weekend sports seaton.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You know, I'm gonna go back to last weekend too,
to last Sunday. I'm gonna say the Buffalo Bills, that's
a pretty good performance against the Chiefs. You limit Patrick
Mahomes to like two hundred and fifty yards. I think,
no touchdowns in an interception. I know that they beat
them in the regular season and struggle in the postseason.
But for the Bills, I feel like every time you
(38:51):
could beat the Chiefs and remind yourself that you can
beat them, it's a win.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
It's a huge win. Marv.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Going off the football board, I got the Laa. I know,
super early in this season they won four straight games.
Luca Dodgers had a great game against the best player
in the NBA victim win Benyama.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
So I got the Lakers, Paully.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
I'm gonna go with Drake May, the quarterback of the Patriots.
He's having a good season, but this past week a
lot of people are getting on his bandwagon as being
the best quarterback from that draft. Twenty twenty four, Jane
Daniels is banged up. It's received a little bit. Kayla
Williams still searching for it. Drake May is having a
fantastic season. All decent answers, but all also wrong wrong.
(39:33):
I think you guys are gonna be stunned by mine.
It happened last Saturday night, so that's still this week
because it's it's not Saturday yet. Me Ross, the football guy,
I am gonna pick a baseball player.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I'm gonna go with Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
This guy is thirty six years old, it's his last game.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Okay. He hits the.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Game tying home run, then he has the game saving
out and the play of the plate from second base.
Then they end up winning the game. Who had a
better week? I mean Marv saying the Lakers when in
the first week of the season, Paul's saying Drake May.
(40:25):
Do you think Drake May had a better week? Then
he got to celebrate the whole week. They won the
game Saturday night. Miguel Ross has been parading around and
having gallivanting.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
The man is gallivanting around, and you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Guys think that these other people, You think the Steelers
defense had a better week. They had to practice all week,
Miguel Ross is on a boat in the Pacific Ocean,
drinking whatever he wants.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Good ahead, Marv.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Do you think Miguel Rojas is gonna be like the
baseball equivalent of David Tyree, where he'll forever be known
for this one play?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yes, now, he had a much longer career and better
career than Tyree.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
But yes, I don't know anything about Miguel.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Rojas other than that that he made that play, and
that's what I will know moving forward with him forever.
All Right, we've got a fun final hour. Who are
the best college quarterbacks to actually have your team draft
next year if you're a Saints fan or Jets fan. Plus,
we got to get some of your calls on the
(41:32):
venue that's on your bucket list next
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio, our number.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two on a meet Friday. Absolutely love any chance I
get to be up here in Connecticut with the dan
Nets talking about meat, talking about football somehow, talking about
Paprika pronunciation because Fritzy pulled a Fritzy at the end
(00:26):
of our number one. By the way, this is what's
so great about life and the Internet. There's a lot
of bad stuff about the Internet. There's a lot of
bad stuff about social media, but the instantaneous access to
feedback and to information is incredible. We got to talk
(00:46):
about last night's game because it was one of the
worst games I've ever seen, and Fritzy is wearing a
blonde wig for some reason as.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
A result, so we got to get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I got to tell you about what I'm doing Monday
night because I want every single one of you to
put it on your bucket list.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But first let me do two things.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Let me welcome in everybody listening on all the different
Fox Sports Radio affiliates over four or five hundred, which
is incredible, including one where I reside in Harrisburg, which
is very cool. We're live on Peacock. I know at
least my mom and my mother in law Rachel are watching.
Thank you guys for watching. That's a great thing about grandma's,
(01:31):
my daughter's grandma's. You can check us out at Danpatrick
dot com. You can call in eight seven seven to
three DP show. You can always hit us up on
social media at DP show on Twitter X. I'm at
Ross Tucker NFL, and I promise I check during every
commercial break. Love those of you that check us out
when you get a chance later via podcast. Mine is
(01:53):
the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. So this is what's so funny.
We go to break, okay, and Steve Stone hits me
up on social at Ross Tucker NFL and says might
be a regional thing Pa Prika down south, such as
Fritzi was saying, John Light Junior, Pa Prika, I'm from
(02:17):
Central Virginia.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Okay. So we're getting several people that are backing up
Fritzi on this. You know what I did. I did the.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Little Google machine, okay, on my phone, and I said
Paprika pronunciation.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Paprika.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Did you guys hear that? Was that loud enough?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Paprika?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
It's definitely a puh puh situation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Puh Paprika.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And then I feel like I'm I feel like I'm
in my cousin Vinnie, you know, I feel like I'm
presenting my evidence, you know, like Joe Pessi. And then
it was brought to me document number twenty seven oh three.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What is his name?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay? Uh oh yeah, there was a little something there
is what I say? It's Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. I
say Pessi. You said Joe Pessi? Yeah, Irony, oh yess what?
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Jesse Joe Pessi? Is it a Pesci? Would be worse
than saying Paprika? Is it a Paprika?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
All right? But listen, it's Pesci? All right. Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
According to Ali Baba dot Coyle, I don't even know
what that is.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
That's one of the sites I here. I looked at
a few different places and they all had the same
is that.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Like reputable Ali Baba dot I wouldn't buy any goods
where you go for information time.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I got a bad basketball jersey. I think once of
them from overseas. It's a thank you Todd all right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The connect pronunciation of paprika is pa prika. This three
syllable word places emphasis on the second syllable. Second syllable
fritzi with a soft a sound at the beginning. Many
English speakers mispronounce it as paprika or pa prika. So anyway,
(04:20):
you know, you know people in life say I hate
to say I told you so.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't I love it.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I loved like I told you so. All right, so
last night.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Your Broncos Fritzi won ten to seven, bad win, but
you're wearing a blonde wig.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Please explain.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
We had a call the other day wanted it to
have a I don't know what he was gonna get
in return if it didn't work out, but basically he said,
if the Broncos don't win by at least ten, I
would have to wear a Mark Davis Raiders owner wig.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Was there any chance that that was a guy named
David in Ohio?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's very likely who that was.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I think there was actually a tweet a little while
ago saying he looks forward to seeing me in the wig.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Eight seven seven to three DP show.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's go to Oh wow, there's so many callers who
I could pick all of you?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Oh you know what, I'll go to David in Ohio. Hello, David, Hey,
what's up Bra? That'd be meat Friday. Yeah, Todd, I
was watching the game last night and I thought the
Broncos were going to go down and score and cover
that ten and it was going to be a push,
but they ended up not.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I love the wrong time you do on the show.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
And that hair piece looks very plattering on you, So
thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Thanks David.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I like that you just accept betts from callers like that,
and you can't wait to do a pie in the
face with a caller. Remember that guy in Central Pa
that reached out to me and wanted me to smash
a pie in his face?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
So I did it outside of Costco.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Yeah, you showed up and did it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That was amazing, all right. So enough about the last
night's game. Don't even know what else to say. It
was a terrible, terrible game.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It reminded me of of what a lot of the
Thursday night games used to be. Like, Thursday night football
used to be bad. It's been good as of late.
Monday night football is typically pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Monday Night.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'll be in the radio booth with Kevin Harlan. What
will he say to me?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
When I walk into the booth, Fritzy.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
How's it going Ross? This is the NFL on Westwood One.
We'll step aside. That's one of the best things you do.
You book, guess and you do Harlan.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
He gets very excited.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I have a question, Paully.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
After Kevin Harley says that to me, when I walk
into the booth, what will I say?
Speaker 8 (06:43):
I love lambeau I love Mustard, I love brats, and
I love football in that order, in that order.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yes, Seaton, when you go do a game at a
I'm gonna call it a classic stadium, one that's been
around for a very long time.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Right when you go sit down and you're.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
In I'm assuming a booth, right, and you're gonna sit
there and there's a table and stuff. Is the inside
where you're working more modern than what the stadium appears,
or is it like, hey guys, we're all here in
the press box and like, oh, the only outlet is
over there and we're all plugging into that one outlet.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It is a great question, and the answer is lambeau
Field is amazing. And I mean this as sincerely as.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I mean anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Everyone listening, everyone watching, please put it on your bucket list,
please try to get to a game at some point
at lambeau Field Seaton. They have done the most unbelievable
job I've ever seen, where if you're sitting in the
stands and looking at the field, it feels like it's
(07:57):
still nineteen sixty and Bart Starr and Jerry Kramer and
Forrest greg and Jim Taylor and Paul Horning. I could
do this all day. Ray nichke that they're gonna come
out there. And then the outside, what's the outside of
a stadium called the facade? Yea, the facade ook Okay,
the facade looks like it's from the nineteen fifties or sixties,
(08:21):
very well done, looks like it's redone almost looks like
an IVY League.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Stadium right on the outside.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But then the guts of it, it's really modern. They
have all these nice luxury boxes. The booth, the press
box and booth are amazing. I don't know what's that
is that called retro fitting it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They did, but somehow they made the inside and the
outside look just the way you would expect it to.
But then the middle, the middle part looks is as
modern as anything.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Oh wow, that's really interesting. So they kept sort of
like the that like same classic charm, but modernized everything
for the actual workings of the stadium.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, and I can't emphasize this enough, okay, because it
really doesn't show that.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
It looks like it's been like in a glass case
since the day was built.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Incredible, And the grass is so amazing. And the craziest
thing about it Packers fans are in the stadium an
hour before the game. When the punters and kickers run
out fifty five minutes before kickoff, the crowd goes crazy.
It's the wildest thing. I can't emphasize enough. I remember
(09:32):
going there as a rookie.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It felt like we were driving down my street in
while Missing Pennsylvania. It felt like we were in just
your normal suburban town, Delaware Avenue in Wile, Missing Pa.
And then we made a right turn and it would
(09:56):
be like, picture, right next to your best friend's house
in your neighborhood, there's an NFL stadium. I mean now,
I know that there's probably bigger roads you can take
to get there. And I think because it was the
team bus for the Redskins, they took us on back roads,
but it still is wild now.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
In fairness, they have bought.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Some of the surrounding real estate and they have you know,
commercialize it a little bit more so it's not quite
what it was my rookie year twenty four years ago,
but it is still incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
PAULI.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Yeah, I've been there once in the eighties and twice
in the past ten years, and like seen said, they
haven't changed the tone. There's that street, it's called Shadow Lane.
It's right by the field, right by Lombardi Ave and
there's a bunch of little houses and they have tailgates
in the back. But they did renovations for lambeau Field.
They started them, I think maybe twenty years ago was
a big one, and they kept the entire tone, the color,
(10:57):
and the outside does not look like it was completely
renov Now they added modern amenities, but it's kind of
the opposite of what the Chicago Bears did with Soldier Field.
They basically landed a spaceship on Soldier Field and it
doesn't match at all, and like what they kept the
outside of Soldier Field in the park area, but Soldier
Field did not go the same tone as Lambefield and
tried to match the outside the facade.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So here's my question for all four of you and
everybody listening or watching on Peacock. You can hit us
up eight seven seven to three DP show, or you
can hit us up on social at DP show. I
am at Ross Tuck, NFL. What's your number one bucket
(11:40):
list sports venue, not event venue. What's the one venue
you haven't gotten to that you really want to.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I will start.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
This is actually kind of a combo platter, I would say,
because I feel like you have to go there for
the actual event. But it's the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
I don't think it would be the same if I
just went to a random UCLA home game. I think
it's gotta be the actual Rose Bowl. I have watched
(12:17):
that game every January first my entire life. I have
seen how it's dark on the East Coast, but out
there the sunset in southern California it looks amazing. I
there might be others, but right now, for me, in
terms of ones I haven't seen yet, number one.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
On my bucket list would be the Rose Bowl. PAULI.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I've worked three games at the Rose Bowl and it's
very similar to what you said. It's a neighborhood and
you're driving through this middle class neighborhood in Pasadena and
all of a sudden you go down a hill and
there it is, out of nowhere. It looks like it
doesn't all really. Yes, it's a complete middle I never
knew that. Yeah, you go down a hill, you turn
right and there's the parking in there as a stadium
and it's old school light on the amenities and they
(13:03):
do the flyver. It's it's worth it, totally worth it.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Fritzie, do you have one?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I do.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I don't know if it's a little less about as
you were saying, about the actual facility, more about like
the specific game i'd want to see there. But I'd
love to sit next to the Cameron crazies and go
to a North Carolina duke basketball game at Cameron Indoor
is something I would really like to experience.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You know what, You're a thousand percent right that that
might almost even beat out Rose Bull for me. Now
that you say that, I you know how many of
those games have we watched over the years?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
All right, what about Seaton?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Cameron Indoor was gonna be one of mine. I've
always wanted to go to more racing events, you know,
so like or whether it's Kentucky Derby or Indianapolis, you know,
motor speedway. Yeah, I haven't done much of that. A
lot of mine, for me are soccer stadiums because I
really like soccer. And you know, it's weird though, because
(13:53):
we're fortunate enough doing this that we've probably all been
to quite a few stadiums. You know, I've never been
to a Dodger game, though I would love to go
to a Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You know what's interesting, Seaton, I'm not a soccer guy
at all. Okay, not at all.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I really want to go to like a Premier League, manach.
I really want to go to some type of international
soccer in the UK or in Spain or whatever, and
I want to feel the passion and the energy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I want to feel what that do?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Off the top of your head, Seaton, Like, is there
one I should go to?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, I mean there's a lot, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But like what's like the most well known, like.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
If you're going to say in Spain like bernabout is
a real Madrid camp? New is Barcelona? Those are pretty
iconic sports venues.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You know, I've done a couple I've been in Europe
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's never matched up where there was a Premier League
match I could go to.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
You know, the crazy thing is is that there's so
many tiers and it's almost like, uh, people are probably
kill me for saying this, but even like almost like
the lower you go in some ways, the more passionate
it gets in the tiers. So you could go, you
could have just as good a time in a smaller
stadium that holds five or ten thousand people than you
would in a place that holds sixty thousand.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Got it, Marv? What do you got?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I was gonna say the Rose Bowl, Well, uh, fog
Allen Fieldhouse at Kansas Okay. I would love to go
there see the Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, that entire thing. But
the Rose Bowlden, like you said earlier, to me, it's
really kind of about the building. I kind of liken
it to Madison Square Garden where Lebron and Kobe don't
(15:36):
play the Knicks, they play at the garden. Yeah, like
the like the arena or the stadium is the star.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So what's so interesting is I feel like we're definitely
missing some I mean, we had multiple Cameron Indoor, we
had multiple Rose Bowls. There's got to be like five
that were totally missing on Seaton.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Well, yeah, I mean like nobody has said Wrigly, nobody
has said Fenway. Probably we've all been to this no, right,
but that's what I mean. Like, there's so many listening.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, people listening. Go ahead, Fallow.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
I'm lucky enough. I've been to a lot of them,
a lot of the ones we mentioned, you know, Notre
Dame or regularly and all that stuff. There's one that
popped in my head. I want to see a Pirate's
home game. Every time I see the Pirates stadium on TV,
it just looks gorgeous. It's very well done, the city
and back. I've never been to Pittsburgh and it just
looks like a great game day experience. I know they're
not a great team, but you talk about the stadium,
(16:26):
I think that's a cool stadium and a cool looking
city from afar that I've just never been to.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Eight seven seven to three DP show is the number.
We want to know your number one ranked bucket list venue.
We also want to know if you got any thoughts
on your favorite mustard. Someone is guilty, No one is innocent.
In the new drama series All Her Fault, a seemingly
(16:52):
perfect families world is shattered when their young son goes missing.
That doesn't sound good now streaming now only on Peacock.
Andy Staples from On three Sports is not missing.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
He's here.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He's a college football superstar. Love talking with Andy. He'll

Speaker 10 (17:54):
All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube
again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple f check us out
on YouTube and subscribe.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know I love the quick response time of social
media at Ross Tucker, NFL getting some really good ones.
By the way, you know, this is kind of a
different category. But somebody said the Army Navy game, which
is a great point. It's not a venue though, that's
that's an event, not a venue.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
But yes, absolutely put Army Navy on your bucket list.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Bob Frabele said, my uncle and aunt turned me on
to Penn State football years ago. So west Shore home
Field at Beaver Stadium, that's a unique one because that's
like you gotta go for a whiteout. That's like, that's
a venue, that's an event at a venue. It's kind
of like the Rose Bowl at the Rose Bowl. It's
(18:54):
the white out at West Shore home Field at Beaver
Stadium at Penn State. Yes, Paul, and it's great as
the Army game is. I'd suggest you go to an
Army home game and then a Navy home game against
a random opponent in see West Point in Seannapolis games.
You've worked, you've been at West Point before. It's great experience.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Wembley Stadium overseas. And Lombardi what's lombardyamb I think he
means Lambeau. Oh, I think he met Lambell. All right,
let's find out.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I think Andy Staples has probably been to every cool
college football venue you can possibly go to. I'm sure
there's some that you know what, even Andy probably has
one or two, and maybe it's a group of five
stadiums that he hasn't been to. Maybe he wants to
go to that Dome North Dakota State. I guarantee Andy
(19:42):
has some that he hasn't been to yet that he
wants to. He's a good friend of mine. He does
an unbelievable job in all sincerity. If you are into
college football and you're not following Andy's work or following
him on social media, at Andy underscore Staples, you are
doing it wrong. Andy, really appreciate the time. Great to
(20:02):
see you. I guess I gotta start out with these
two questions. So one of which is what's on your
bucket list college football venue that you have not been
to yet.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
I've got a few, and you actually just mentioned a
couple of them. So Mikey Stadium at Army I overcovered
a game there. I want to do that. The Fargo
Dome you mentioned at North Coast State, the Kibbi Dome
at Idaho, seventeen thousand seat Dome, Moscow, Idaho. I have
driven driven through the parking lot when I was in
Pullman to do some Washington State stuff, and obviously Moscow,
(20:36):
idahos eight miles away, so I drove. I was like,
I gotta see the Kibbi Dome, but I want to
see a game in the Kibbi Dome, and then yeah,
those would be my three. Also, I need to commend
you Ross on the impassioned defense of spicy Deli mustard
because it is the world's greatest condiment.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Oh you know what I gotta tell you. I already knew.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I liked Greg Cosel, I liked Andy Staples. I had
no idea they were part of the spicy mustard tribe.
I didn't know they were part of the family. Although
they're really smart, successful people, so you would assume that
they know that spicy mustard's by far the best mustard.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, here's the second part of that question. Andy.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And by the way, I've done a bunch of games
at Mikey Stadium.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I couldn't possibly more highly recommend it.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
I believe I've heard you and Jason Horowitz doing games
at Mikey stadium before.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, And honestly, Andy, the crazy thing about Mikey Stadium
is it's actually probably best observed from the press box
because it's so elevated that you can then see the
reservoir and the water and the Hudson River.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
It's actually better almost the higher you are, if that
makes sense. But you're gonna tell me, give me one
or two.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Or three that I probably haven't been to that, you know,
power for whatever. What should be on my college football
venue bucket list?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
If you've never been to a game at LSU, if
you've never been to Tiger Stadium, that is it's the
best tailgating in college football, and when they're good, it's
probably the best overall stadium experience in college football. It's
just so cool and the tailgating is incredible that people
go all out. It's not you know, we talk about
the Old Miss tailgating, but Ole Miss doesn't allow open flames,
(22:26):
so limits what you can cook. Like they're grilling gator
like when they play Florida, they're grilling gator at LSU.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
So it's it's incredible.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
Going into the one that people maybe don't think about.
If you get a chance to go to a k
State home game at Kansas State home game Manhattan, Kansas
bill Sider Family Stadium. They do it right there, like
that's a great crowd. It's a great town, just a
great little college town, the Aggieville district with the bars
and the restaurants and everything. That's an that's a fun
(23:01):
one that I don't think people think about when they're like, oh,
these are the best atmospheres in college It's one of
the best atmospheres in college football. And the other one
You'll never believe it until you actually get there. To
autsin stadium in Oregon, sixty thousand people sound like one
hundred thousand people. I don't know how they do it,
but it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
There's something weird about the Pacific Northwest and the acoustics
because I guarantee you the people in Seattle are not
louder than the people in Philadelphia, but yet when you're
in that stadium in Seattle, it is so loud. They've
done a nice job with the accoustic.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
The Seahawks Stadium.
Speaker 11 (23:36):
I've driven past it, I've never been inside it, but
it does look like it's just built perfectly to capture this.
Maybe Autson's secret Autson is sort of like an extreme
version of the old sombrero in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yes, and so you've got these two.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
Really high middle parts that just kind of bounce off
each other, and I think that's what helps.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
All right. So, Andy, we are, I guess, a year
and a half into the new.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
College football playoff tournament structure, and I know it could
be changing, But I guess has it been a good
thing or a bad thing so far? Are you a
fan or not a fan of it?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So far?
Speaker 11 (24:14):
I love the twelve team playoff. I don't want them
to go any bigger. If they go sixteen, fine, I
know they've talked about that, because that just that doesn't
really add another round, It just keeps it the same
general structure. But don't go any bigger than that. Like,
this is good. I like the stress and the adjecta
that it causes among the teams from twelve to twenty
(24:35):
that still have a chance. I like the fact that
if you win the Big twelve, or if you win
the ACC even if you didn't have the greatest year,
you're in.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I think that's pretty cool. So I like this format.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
I thought four was too small, Like it's still the
most exclusive playoff format in major American sports, like the
fewest number of teams get in the all this percentage
of teams get in, and I think that's great, but
it needed to be bigger than four. So this this
feels like the perfect number to me.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I also think when it was four, we really only
talked about who was five, six, and seven and maybe eight.
Now that it's twelve, people are looking at who's fourteen,
who's sixteen, who's eighteen? I saw on your show you
were apoplectic that Miami's that much further down than Notre Dame.
(25:31):
Is that the biggest thing that jumped out to you?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, because why'd they bother playing the game?
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Like, if they're gonna have the same record, and it's
not like Notre Dame's played much better competition than Miami
throughout the year.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
They haven't.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Their their schedules are fairly comparable, and they have the
same record, and they played and Miami won.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
How in the world can they be eight spots apart?
That makes no sense at all. And that's that's what bother.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
I mean, if you're gonna do that, just simulate the
whole season on a computer. Don't even bother playing the
games because that the results of the games need to
matter at some point.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
How much do you wait what happened recently versus what
happened at the start?
Speaker 11 (26:10):
It all matters ross, It doesn't matter when you played
the like it all matters. It doesn't just because you
played it in September doesn't give you a mulligan for losing.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I would agree, But wouldn't you agree if two teams
are ten and two and one of them lost the
first two won the next ten, the other won the
first ten, lost the last two, don't you think that
there should be some nod given to the teammates.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Team that lost the first two.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Where there's there only two really good games and everybody
else was not very good.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
I'm not I love Notre Dame. I love Notre Dame.
It will defend their independence till the day I die. Well,
well fight anybody who says Notre Dame needs to join
a conference.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I love Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame is a
real good team.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
I think Notre name is probably gona wind up in
the college football playoff, mostly because I think Miami is
gonna lose another one along the way and and Notre
Dame's not like they're both gonna They're both gonna play Pitt,
and maybe Pitt beats Miami and doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 11 (27:12):
But you gotta you gotta have results matter. You can't
just say, well, it didn't matter, same record, whatever they play,
like you you have the ultimate event.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
What if they played well? They played all right?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Maybe the bigger question in college football right now is,
with all these guys getting fired, why has there not
been any hires made yet? Like, why why hasn't Virginia
Tech jumped on James Franklin.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I mean he would be.
Speaker 11 (27:45):
Maybe James Franklin is waiting for Florida State to open up.
Maybe James Franklin wants to go coach at Auburn.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So you think it's there's a pecking order of available
candidates and those guys are waiting until they see what
all their options are.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh yeah, James Franklin's going to have options.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
If he thought his best option was Virginia Tech and
Virginia Tech was offering him the job, he would have
already taken it. But I think he's going to have
quite a few options, So we don't know yet what
all the options are going to be, because we'll see
what happens with Florida State. That's still very much up
in the air. They're playing Clemson this week. If they
want out Mike Orwell will be fine, but if things
(28:29):
go badly that their fan base is itching for a change,
even though would be very expensive. Kentucky's another one. You know,
Mark Stoops beat Auburn that got Hugh Freeze fired last week.
If they lose, you know, to Louisville, if they lose
to Florida, I don't think Mark Stoops is all that safe,
even though he has the most school unfriendly buy out
(28:51):
in the country of thirty seven million dollars do within
sixty days of the firing, all in one lump sum.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I mean I try to get fired at this point,
that would be all right.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
So what about, Like, I guess, what's.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
The value in firing these guys so early if you're
not gonna then make a hire. I mean, I live
in Central Pennsylvania, penn States losing recruits left and right.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I thought the whole point.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Of firing him early, if you're gonna do that, was
to get somebody else in there and rally, But.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
You're not going to hire somebody who's actually coaching another
team right now. They're gonna finish their season, So like,
who are you going to hire? You hire an NFL coach,
They're just gonna leave their NFL team.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Like, so, then what's the boy? You get Pat Fitzgerald?
Speaker 11 (29:40):
You could get Pat Fitzgerald now, and I think he's
one who has multiple options and is waiting to see
could you what winds up?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Could you agree with an agent for a guy like
Bob Chesney from JMU.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
But just not announce it but kind of know that
has happened many many times. That's that happened with Scott
f when he went from UCF Nebraska. And you fire
the coach during the season to tell your fan base
that you're making the change that they're clamoring for, to.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Tell them you hear them. That's why you do it.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
A lot of schools do it because they see a
ton of empty seats and they're like, oh god, the
fans are not even going to come back this season
if we don't do something and show them we care
enough to make a change.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Do you think Kurt Signetti has kind of ruined this
whole thing because it will.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
He's good. I love it.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
I think he has broken every bad coach's excuse, well,
every bad coach who makes excuses.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You just point to Kurt Signetti now like he can
do it, why can't you? Right?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
But how much of that is I don't want to
say fluky, because obviously they've accomplished at all.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Right, they've accomplished what they've accomplished.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
But I guess my point would be, you can't all
be twelve and oh, you can't all be eleven and one.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
You can't all be twelve and oh. But you also
can't be in year three or year four where your
trend line is heading down, your trajectory is heading down,
and you're saying, well, we just need more time to build.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
No, you don't you know by year two if you
if you made the right higher or not.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You know? Do you feel, though, Andy, like we should
be at the point in college football, especially when I
look at some of these SEC schedules and like who
Florida had to play this year or who Texas has
to play? I feel like this is just my perspective.
I don't think it should be as soon as you
get a third loss we're gonna fire you when you
(31:34):
have the schedule.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
Tillioner was twenty two and twenty three and three plus
seasons at Florida.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'm a Florida grad.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Yeah, I can tell you right now five hundred football
is not acceptable at the University of Florida. Three and
a half years is more than enough time to get
better than five hundred.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Man. So the way you're making it sound, this is
gonna be the new will. You either have standards or
you don't. That's really what it is now.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
The Penn State one, yes, we can argue about that
one all day because James Franklin was winning, was successful,
but he wasn't getting them what they wanted.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
What they wanted national titles.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
And if that's what you want, I'm not one to
tell the consumer what they do and don't want. The
Penn State fans want national titles. Now, getting that is
going to be difficult, Like I think the Penn State job,
of all the ones open, is the toughest one to
take right now because you will be judged against what
James Franklin was doing, which means you'd better start winning
(32:34):
double digit games immediately. You'd better start competing for the
Big Ten title and in the College Football Playoff immediately.
It's kind of like when Georgia fired Mark Richt and
hired Kirby Smart. He was in the national title game
in year two. Great, but yere one when he was
you know he I think he was seven and five
or six and six, it was like, oh boy, what
is this? So you have to succeed immediately if you're
(32:59):
in that job. But like the order job, he was
not getting it done, so they fired him. Auburn, he's
not getting it done, so they fired him.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I guess it's a great point about landing spot because
entry point means a great deal. Franklin by all accounts,
and it was a top ten program over the last
ten years. They just weren't top five. Penn State believes
they have the resources to be top five. I guess,
you know, Franklin used to say this all the time,
but I'll get your opinion. I'm not sure people realize
(33:30):
how hard it is to go from top ten to
top five.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Because top five is exactly right.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's Georgia, Alabama, it's Ohio State, Like there can only
be five in the top five.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
It's the hardest part. It's the hardest move.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Dan Mullen mentioned that when he was at Florida where
he wins ten games, he wins the Orange Bowl and
they interview him on the field after the Orange Bowl
and he said, it's that eleventh and twelfth they're the
toughest step.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
And he was righting. I mean, he ended up gotting
fired at Florida.
Speaker 11 (33:59):
It is very hard the places where they expect national championships.
The margins are so thin, and they're going to make
mistakes too. Because look at what Georgia did. They fired
a really good coach and Mark Richt, and they hired
an even better Coachan Kirby Smart. That's not gonna happen
most of the time. Most of the time, the person
(34:22):
you hire is not going to be as good as
the person you just fired.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
If that person's winning ten games a year, check him
out on social media. He's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
He's all over college football at Andy underscore Staples.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
We got a good weekend this weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Indiana's double digit favorites against Penn State. That's a real
thing in society. It's unbelievable. Thank you, Andy, Me, Thanks Ross.
Love diving into some college football. I'm a big college
football guy. I'm also a big Meet Friday guy, and
I like this little segment that we do. Now or
(34:58):
you guys do, I should say called best in the Week,
best weekend, best week in sports, best week in sports,
led by Paul when we come back forty two minutes
past the hour here on the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:09):

the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 2 (35:21):
There's nothing like a kings Hawaiians slider Sunday to enjoy
NFL games with friends and family. Make that watch party
or tailgate special and pick up a pack of kings
Hawaiian this weekend. We are sliding in the weekend. One
(35:41):
o'clock on Sunday Eastern. You got the Patriots and the Bucks.
How about four o'clock Rams Niners is a juicy matchup
Sunday night Steelers Chargers Monday night the game I'll be
in the booth for Westwood one National Radios and the
Eagles with Kevin Harland.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And then college football has some fun matchups too. It's saucy. Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Number seven BYU number eight, Texas Tech number nine, Oregon
at number twenty.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Iowa.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
That's a legit tough test for Dan Lanning and the Ducks.
And then I love that Navy not Dame play every
year the ninety eighth time.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Navy has a really good team.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
This year, they kind of they lost the game last
week to North Texas. We'll see if they can give
the Irish a better game than they did last year.
Is there one of those that you guys are most
looking forward to?
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Seaton?
Speaker 5 (36:39):
You know, I hate to say it because I love
Oregon as a state. I love Portland, even though I
know Oregon's not located there. I think that might be
like an upset of the week Iowa over Oregons.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Her Iowa is playing very very well. I love watching
Iowa play. They might be as well coached, you know,
like you talk to guys that come to the NFL
from Iowa or you watch their tape. It is their technique.
They're like pros when they get to the NFL.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Yes see, they feel like Iowa is the kind of
team too that like it feels like they like to
punch you in the mouth a bit. And I don't
know that Oregon likes getting punched in the mouth very much.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
You know, I will say this Oregon, I think is
more physical than Perhaps they're getting credit for Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Not against Sandonyana. They weren't.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Uh, you know, I would say that the Navy Notre
Dame game Notre Dame Canty can't afford a loss of
any type. But Navy's good for like once a decade,
once every twelve years taking down Notre Dame. I think
the last time was twenty sixteen. They did in twenty ten,
so it's it's not inconceivable this is as big as
it gets for Navy.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
For over forty years, tire rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
How, what and where they drive.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. Let's get
to this best week in sports. I'm very curious if
any of you guys have the same choice as me.
(38:14):
Let's start in the way back with Fritzie Davis back there.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
I'm going back to last Sunday since it's within the
calendar week. The Steelers defense forcing six turnovers, twenty seven
to twenty home win over the Colts. I think that
was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Steelers defense had the best weekend sports seaton.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You know, I'm gonna go back to last weekend too,
to last Sunday. I'm gonna say the Buffalo Bills, that's
a pretty good performance against the Chiefs. You limit Patrick
Mahomes to like two hundred and fifty yards. I think,
no touchdowns in an interception. I know that they beat
them in the regular season and struggle in the postseason.
But for the Bills, I feel like every time you
(38:51):
could beat the Chiefs and remind yourself that you can
beat them, it's a win.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
It's a huge win. Marv.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Going off the football board, I got the Laa. I know,
super early in this season they won four straight games.
Luca Dodgers had a great game against the best player
in the NBA victim win Benyama.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
So I got the Lakers, Paully.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
I'm gonna go with Drake May, the quarterback of the Patriots.
He's having a good season, but this past week a
lot of people are getting on his bandwagon as being
the best quarterback from that draft. Twenty twenty four, Jane
Daniels is banged up. It's received a little bit. Kayla
Williams still searching for it. Drake May is having a
fantastic season. All decent answers, but all also wrong wrong.
(39:33):
I think you guys are gonna be stunned by mine.
It happened last Saturday night, so that's still this week
because it's it's not Saturday yet. Me Ross, the football guy,
I am gonna pick a baseball player.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I'm gonna go with Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
This guy is thirty six years old, it's his last game.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Okay. He hits the.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Game tying home run, then he has the game saving
out and the play of the plate from second base.
Then they end up winning the game. Who had a
better week? I mean Marv saying the Lakers when in
the first week of the season, Paul's saying Drake May.
(40:25):
Do you think Drake May had a better week? Then
he got to celebrate the whole week. They won the
game Saturday night. Miguel Ross has been parading around and
having gallivanting.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
The man is gallivanting around, and you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Guys think that these other people, You think the Steelers
defense had a better week. They had to practice all week,
Miguel Ross is on a boat in the Pacific Ocean,
drinking whatever he wants.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Good ahead, Marv.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Do you think Miguel Rojas is gonna be like the
baseball equivalent of David Tyree, where he'll forever be known
for this one play?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yes, now, he had a much longer career and better
career than Tyree.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
But yes, I don't know anything about Miguel.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Rojas other than that that he made that play, and
that's what I will know moving forward with him forever.
All Right, we've got a fun final hour. Who are
the best college quarterbacks to actually have your team draft
next year if you're a Saints fan or Jets fan. Plus,
we got to get some of your calls on the
(41:32):
venue that's on your bucket list next
