You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two on this Wednesday, Dan and the
Dan Ants Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
People are fired up phone calls each seven to seven three.

DP show talk some college football coming up in a
little bit. Say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app. And we say good
morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Talked about
the deal with ESPN NFL network red Zone billions of
(00:33):
dollars and the Mothership and the NFL are now partners.
The NFL owns ten percent of this deal of ESPN,
and you can look at conflict of interest. But you know,
as I said before you the audience, I mean, what
do you care about? Care about just seeing more football?
(00:53):
I'm guessing, uh, you might have some people who you know,
want the league held accountable or we want to know
if the something nefarious going on there. I saw where
there was a report that the NFL is going to
do wag with the smelling salts on the sidelines. Who
knew smelling salts has been around When I was in
(01:15):
high school, I remember using smelling salts, and you know
they called it if you got your bell rung. Actually
they were probably concussions. But if you got your bell rung,
then you use smelling salts. You crack them and then
you inhale and you get this whiff of ammonia that
will clear up. It's like a horse radish, you know
if you've ever had that, and you're like, WHOA, what
(01:36):
was that? Maybe they could use horse radish on the
sidelines instead of smelling salts. But I didn't know that
there was a study going on to rid the NFL
of smelling salts. Yes, Paul, in.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
The release sense of different players the FDA. According to
the release, the FDA noted potential negative use from smelling salts,
and it massed certain neurological signs and symptoms like you
had ahead any chance. This is about the NFL worrying
that what players do on the sidelines with smelling salts
will trickle down to high school and younger athletes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, where are you getting smelling salts from?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think they're legal. I don't know, I know nothing
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Where can you buy them?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Dylan, the back room guy is actually going to purchase
some for us for Friday. Okay, but I would think
that the nflb worried that something bad could happen to
a young person mimicking what they see in the NFL sidelines.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, but you know what would be more disconcerting for
me is the number of players who have mouthpieces who
don't have the mouthpieces in, Like, if you want to
look at something that I think could be systemic where
kids will just have the mouthpiece dangling out and they
don't have to have it in. That to me is
a bigger issue. But I don't know if there's an epidemic,
(02:49):
a potential one, or you know you're watching it and
then you want to do smelling salts. All you got
to do is want if you do smelling salts once,
you don't have to do it again. It's not like
you go, man, I love that. I mean, there are
bigger issues with huffing, and you know there's other things
(03:12):
that and those are far more available than something like
smelling salts. Smelling salts is you don't want to do
it again when you do it the first time, Yes, Marvin, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
When I worked the NFL game once, I tried it
just because it was there and I look like Rayleo
and Goodfellas.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was like, WHOA.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Never a game?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
According to the NFL memo they sent out, it's prohibited
from the sidelines, pregame, postgame locker room. The clubs can't
supply it, the players can't bio smelling salts. They don't
want any part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay, but the NFL got rid of it.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
George Kittle said he considered retiring this he interrupted an
interview on NFL Network. Kirie is George Kittle of the
forty nine ers. George, Hello, friend, how are you?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I honestly just came up here to aeric grievance.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Our team had a memo.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Today that's smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal
in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Illegal.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
He even said he's not practicing anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I considered retirement.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, you got to figure out the middle ground here.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Guys helped me out.
Speaker 9 (04:21):
Somebody come up with a good ideas.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yeah, that's all I had to get out there.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So obviously he's joking, but he you know a lot
of these guys, they'll do it right before a game
or if you do get your bell wrung. You you
were involved in a you know, a big hit, then
you might do uh smelling salt.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
See.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Some of my most favorite videos of the NFL, though,
are of coaches on the sideline right after they take
a hit of ammonia.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Like why is the coach?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Why why is Adam Gaze doing a hit of smelling salt? Like, what,
You're not awake enough to coach in the NFL? Man,
I got to get awake here, yeah, Pauling.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
After thinking about it, does George kill need more or
less smelling salts in his life?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He is a walking smelling salt. There was an article
written on the Ringer. We had a caller at the
end of last hour saying that we should do our
homework here. And this is about Micah Parsons. He has
said that this past March he had a meeting with
the Cowboys Jerry Jones, and it was supposed to be
about leadership, but it became a setting for Jerry Jones
(05:34):
to talk about his contract. Parsons engaged, thinking they were
simply having a conversation about priorities and what Parsons was
looking for, not engaging in formal negotiations without his agent present.
What it seems like Jones intended was to ice out
Micah parsons representation. Parsons then said, my agent reached out
(05:57):
and spoke to somebody with the Cowboys about a deal
and was told that the deal was pretty much already done. Mike,
his agent, he says, told him that wasn't the case,
reached out to Jerry Jones's son, Stephen Jones. The team
decided to go radio silent and whenever they tried to call, email,
(06:18):
text and to start a negotiation. But they said that
they iced out Michael Parsons in his representation, and he
decided that he had a tough decision. His trade request
was submitted to Stephen Jones personally. Right, I don't know
what that has to do that. We didn't do our homework.
I told you Jerry didn't want to deal with his agent.
(06:40):
They sat down manned man and probably thought, we got
a contract here. Well, you can't do that. You have
to you have to negotiate with the agent. Okay. So
that's how we got to this point. Yeah, there's no
secret in here. Jerry didn't want to deal with his agent,
(07:02):
plain and simple thought that he could hey, we can
get a deal done in March. Well, if you thought
you had a deal done in March, that's when you
should add paperwork in March that you handed to him.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But Michaeh.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Persons is going to say, my agent needs to be
involved in this. That's all Mike is saying. Wait a minute,
I didn't agree to anything. Hey, come on in. I
want to talk to you about leadership. Okay, there's a
rule against this. See you already broke a rule. If
I'm the agent, I file a grievance against Jerry Jones
(07:36):
because it makes them look bad that, hey, we had
something and then you renegged on this. But did they
It doesn't sound like that. Once again, I think the
deal get done. I just sometimes you want to find
out the backstory with this. Everything that goes on went on.
How did we get to this point? What's it mean?
(07:58):
Down the road? Parsons is still going to make forty
two million dollars a year somewhere. But until I hear
the Bears have offered, the Commanders have offered, then you'll
get my attention. I think everybody around the league knows
it's just Jerry. That's just Jerry being Jerry.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Point, if you look at the Trey Hendrickson, you know,
situation with the Bengals. He said the same thing during
OTAs that he was told verbally certain promises, certain assurances
about a two or three year contract and what the
dollars would be, but they never put him on paper.
So it's it's apples and oranges. But it's a similar
situation that conversations don't hold up.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now, you can talk in generalities about a contract, but
until you put the numbers in writing and you sign
it and you validate it, it's just a conversation. And
that's what's confusing about this because my comparisons shouldn't be
viewed as a villain here, and you know, frankly, I
don't know if he is, but it just feels like
(09:01):
he's being kind of painted as, Hey, you're going we
had a deal, and then all of a sudden you
didn't really have a deal in his opinion, and you
don't deal with his agent and the fact that Jerry
forgot Michael Parsons agent's name. I mean, Jerry gets his way.
He's used to getting his way. In this situation, he's
(09:23):
not getting his way. Let's see a couple more phone
calls in here Robin Orlando. Hi, Rob, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 10 (09:34):
Hey Dan? I haven't been able to call him for
a while, been going through some stuff. But it's motivated
by your letter writer earlier, So suck it, Bruce.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Okay, thank you, Rob. Bruce from Washington wrote me a letter,
handwritten letter, not a long letter. I don't know what
constitutes a note and then what constitutes a letter, but
I'd say Bruce wrote me a note saying that basically
hard to listen to the show if I'm going to
b rate Fritzy for forty executive minutes, which felt a
little like an exaggeration. Todd said, maybe it was around
(10:05):
thirty three.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
I think you're round it and off close to a
half hour.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, plus what commercial breaks.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It can't be forty consents.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's true. I can't go forty consecutives unless he watches
me during the commercial break, which that's just you know,
love with Todd. Normally we don't. We don't carry anything
into the commercial break, do we.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
We do not, And if so, it's playful at least
I take it as playful. Cockingly, you would think I
know you I'm going to take it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yes, trip in Vegas? Hi trip, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Hey, good morning, DP, thanks for calling me back. Yeah,
I got a pole question, a Cowboys question than a
Fritzy comment in question. So my pole question would be
which was the better or worse deal? The Deshaun Watson
contract or the Herschel Walker trade in eighty nine?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, well for who?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Though?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, Deshaun Watson got the best deal in NFL history?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
What didn't? When Walker got traded? That could have been
one of the best trades in NFL history. That's what
I mean. Which one was better?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But it was also one of the worst trades in
NFL history.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
And it's one of the best contracts and one of
the worst.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yes, yes, so it depends on your you know which
side you're on here? What else do you have?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (11:19):
And then.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Why would they just let Parsons go? They're not going
to be any good otherwise, just get everything for them?
And then my most important question is I enjoy a comment.
I love when you berat Fritzy.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And by the way, thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Here's the best question. What's the over under of minutes
of you berating him before he just loses it? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I mean, I got two and a half more years
to figure that out. How about we we try to
find out Todd.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
We all have our breaking for you, But I think
it's going to be quite a while. It'll be many
many more minutes and days and weeks of that. Yeah,
I don't I get upset tonight internal things, but I
don't like lose it. I don't like know, go postal
or then. Nothing you guys can say or do would
get me that upset where I'm gonna do something great.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And I've I've just so people know that if there's
a moment and maybe if it goes too far there.
You know, there have been times when I call Todd
after the show and or texting, and then I try
to pile on even more.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
It's not bad mapping me to your wife at dinner.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Oh, I'm just a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh, I know, when you're I don't know if he
was joking.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I think it seems pretty serious. He called me into
the other side of the glass there, and it's never
to get a pat on the back I'll take.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh, I know is your wife started ripping me recently
right saying stuff to you while we were on the show.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Like what it might be, right, I don't I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But you told me that your wife sent you a
text while we're on the show and she was critical
of me.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
I don't remember what I honestly don't remember what that was.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But that's uh, it's possible, Okay.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
My daughter's usually the one that gives you, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
The why don't Why don't you look at your messages
from your wife recently?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I delete my messages like right away. It wasn't that
long ago, I know, but I literally deleted once. I
once I'm done with a text message, I deleted because
it stresses me out to see like lots and lots
of text messages all over.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, Fritzy is about a week and a
half ago. And your wife says something about something Dan
said in our one and you brought it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
To I couldn't pronounce. Oh, but that's not.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
About how you you make berating.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
She was making fun of me.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
I think she was.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Trying to correct you because the teacher in her she
takes out a little I call her red pen Jen
at home.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Wow over not great.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But anytime she corrects me or the kids, like oh there,
it goes red Peen Jens. She was doing that on you,
Red Peen gen Let's fit minus five. I guess I
said the wrong thing minus five.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Dang something the C plus.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
Instead of the B minus. I said something wrong. Okay,
but her, that's not that's how far cry from berating.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's just like you want might want to her words hurt. Okay,
I'm just saying, because she's a very nice person. For
the most point, it felt like she was ganging up
on me.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
I don't think she meant it that way. Now you're
being super sensive like me.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Mark in Cleveland, Hi, Mark, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
How are you good?
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Mark?
Speaker 12 (14:16):
Good to talk to you, listen to you for a
long time. So rather than going to the Browns, I
have a more saucy experience with.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Jenny batch of Jenny Batchie. Well, yes, was it Jenny
Batcher more like Jenny Batchie. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
That makes it much more enticing, right, Okay, Okay. So
I was at Miami of O. How my freshman year
lived in the East quad. She was across the hallway
in the other quad, and we had the same lunch room,
and every time she would walk by everybody obviously would
(14:58):
stop and it ends up that we right, it was automatic.
Everybody would stop eating. And so at the end of
the lunch I came up to her and said, blah
blah blah, we ended up being more than friends for
a couple, probably a month and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Easy, Mark, I'm not going to sit here and listen
to that. I'm going to need a second source on that. No, well,
you can call Jenny and ask her about Mark. About Mark, Mark,
who was creepy in the lunch room with her, stalking.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Creepy as you were with her.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I tried to be. I couldn't hang up on this
guy listen to that. I respect Jenny Batchie. Dang Mark.
I don't know what I got to take Mark's word
on that. About Jenny Batchie.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
He didn't say he was going to say that to me.
Speaker 13 (16:03):
He said he was gonna talk about the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Tyler is back there. He's probably panicking. He said he
was gonna talk about it. Oh, Jenny Batchie, Well, it
said his name, and then he said Brown's Is that
you wanted to talk about the Cleveland Browns classic movie. Yeah,
(16:28):
a little bait and switch is what that was we
were more than just friends. Okay, Mark, easy, how about
we take a break. We'll talk some college football coming up.
Got my dander up there, a little upset.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Last hour, we had a caller who wanted to have
a pie to the face bet with any of the
dan Nets. He said that Notre Dame is going undefeated
and winning the national championship. Well, all four dants held
up their hand. They're going to go against that bet
that Notre Dame will not go undefeated and win the
national championship. We start there with Andy Staples, one of
(17:53):
the great college football reporters in America. He works for
on three Sports. Let's look at Notre Dame's schedule. Paully,
give me the schedule here with Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's a saucy Miami they are at for Notre Dame,
They're at Miami, host texts A and m host Purdue
at Arkansas to start.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay, do you think Notre Dame can go undefeated?
Speaker 15 (18:15):
And Polly strikes me as a as a blueberry guy,
maybe one of those latticework apple pie guys. I mean,
I really, you guys do need to start thinking about
the pie that you would like to get in the face?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I think yeah, okay, this as possible. It is possible.
They can go twelve and zero.
Speaker 15 (18:37):
Winning the national title is a bit harder because you've
got to get through that entire tournament.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
But hell, they got to the national title game last year.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wait, Andy, are you willing to take a pie to
the face if Notre Dame doesn't go undefeated?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah, I'll take a face before we go. Let me
know when I need to do it.
Speaker 15 (18:58):
Just look, the Northern Ill game can happen to you,
and they could go to Miami and lose Week one.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
But this is one of those seasons that just feels
like we don't.
Speaker 15 (19:08):
Know anything, but Notre Dame feels like one of the
surer things, which is interesting because they are breaking in
a new starting quarterback and we don't really know how
that's gonna look, but we do know they're gonna have
one of the best offensive lines in college football. Jeremiah
Love is probably the best back in college football, and
I think the receivers you're going to see them a
Jene Greenhouse you saw toward the end of the playoff, like,
(19:30):
really step up. So I do think you're gonna see
a more dynamic version of a Dame offense, even though
you've got a new quarterback, probably C. J.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Carr. You point out that six of the eight betting
favorites to win the national Championship are going to break
in new starting quarterbacks. Texas is technically breaking in a
new quarterback, but it's a well known quarterback handicap. You know,
these teams, who are you know and the new quarterbacks?
(19:59):
We should be aware of.
Speaker 15 (20:00):
So the new of the new guy's Arch Manning is
the one probably who has the most experienced so of
those six teams, so that's Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama.
Arch has quite a bit of experience. Oregon's starting quarterback
Dante Moore had some experience as UCLA started a couple
of years ago, but.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Arch probably has been the most ready for this.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
And it's interesting because if Arch comes in and they're
significantly more dynamic offensively than they were last year, you're
gonna get those retroactive questions of C. Sarkisian, why didn't
you start Arch over Quinn?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
You weres earlier. But I'm fascinated to see what he
looks like because I.
Speaker 15 (20:40):
Think people who just see the last name, they're thinking, oh,
this guy is gonna look like Peyton or Eli.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He is not. Arch is a dual threat quarterback.
Speaker 15 (20:48):
His dad, Cooper, was a wide receiver who would have
been a good wide receiver ole Miss had he not
had a neck injury. So this is a This is
an athlete who actually has a very good arm, and
so so Arch's threat to run makes Texas a very
different team to defend than quinn Ewers Texas from last year.
And we'll get a good, good look at it week
(21:10):
one against Ohio State because Ohio State's gonna be breaking
in nine new defensive starters.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
The other quarterbacks, though Ohio State introd do they know
who their quarterback is?
Speaker 15 (21:20):
It's probably Julian Sayan, who is a guy who originally
signed with Alabama.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
He's from California.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
When Nick Saban retired, Julian Saying hopped in the transfer
portal and wound up at Ohio State. He was the
understudy last year to Will Howard, So the thought is
that it's going to be him. And really, if you're
throwing to Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate and Brandon ns.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
It's probably gonna go pretty well.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
And Jeremiah Smith is just a freak of nature's he's
the best player in college football this year. I don't
know if he's gonna win the Heisman Trophy, but he
is the best player he could enter the If there
was a supplemental draft tomorrow, every team in the NFL
would give up everything it could get him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
If I gave you the top three teams in the
initial rankings or everybody else to win the national championship.
Speaker 15 (22:10):
Everybody else. Yeah, there's more variability this year. I feel
like the quarterback things a big reason for it. I
look at the coaches poll and I've noticed this. So
the coaches poll came out this week. We had my
colleague Brett McMurphy on who has an AP vote, and
he revealed his AP poll ballot.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I've done some way too early.
Speaker 15 (22:30):
Top twenty five, everybody's top eight feels like it's the same.
And everybody says, well, I think any of these teams
can win the national title, and I would agree. I
like Texas, Ohio State, Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oregon, Alabama,
in whatever order you want. You could make a very
compelling case to me right now that those could be
(22:50):
the national champs. I have a hard time with anybody else.
But I also know we saw Indiana last year. I
don't know that anybody who predicted Notre Dame going as
far as they did last year. There's gonna be a
couple others that pop up.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Talking to Andy Staples covers college football for on three Sports,
is there an smu Arizona State? Indiana? Maybe we would
consider overachiever who could be in the national title picture
or the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Well, the Indiana.
Speaker 15 (23:21):
Thing's interesting because usually when a team has a big turnaround,
has a huge season, and they're not typically a successful program,
they just sort.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Of go back.
Speaker 15 (23:31):
Indiana didn't lose anybody but the quarterback, Curtis Rourke, and
then they went out and got Fernando Mendoza from cal
who's a guy that Georgia wanted, and a bunch of
other you know, big time programs wanted to get as
a transfer. So Indiana could still be just as good
as it was last year. Now, the schedule is probably
gonna be harder than it was last year. But you've
also got Illinois that won ten games last year, brought
(23:53):
a ton of guys back in the Big twelve, Arizona State,
you know we predicted the last last year they won.
They won the thing. They've got Sam Levitt back at QB,
so everybody's expecting big things from them. But I say
watch Utah in the Big twelve. They had a terrible
season last year because of quarterback issues. They went out
and got a guy named Devin dan Pierre from New
Mexico who's more of.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
A runner than a thrower.
Speaker 15 (24:15):
But when you have an offensive line like Utah's, that's
just fine.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Give me the coaches that are under more pressure than
anybody else.
Speaker 15 (24:24):
It's a crazy situation in the SEC because you have
Billion Apier at Florida, Hugh Freeze at Auburn, Rent Vinnables
at Oklahoma. All of them should have better teams than
they had last year. All of them probably have rosters
capable of competing for playoff berths. But the Oklahoma and
Florida situations, the schedules are so hard that if things
(24:47):
go wrong, they could wind up six and six and
you could see the whole staff get fired. For Auburn,
they have the roster, they just didn't have the quarterback
play last year. Like they were bad last year because
they had a essentially this groundhog Day thing where they'd
have a crippling interception late in the game and Hugh
Frees didn't manage his quarterbacks very well.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
He's throwing him under the bus publicly.
Speaker 15 (25:09):
If they get even average quarterback play, that's a team
that compete for a playoff birth. But if this roster
goes six and six, you're making a change.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What about USC.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
It's a great question, Dan.
Speaker 15 (25:23):
When you hear Lincoln Riley talk, it sounds like he
is pointing toward twenty twenty six. They have this massive
recruiting class coming in in twenty twenty six, and I
think if you ask USC fans when Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Got hired if in year four, they'd be pointing toward.
Speaker 15 (25:37):
The following year, that's not what they wanted, but that
they don't seem particularly excited about their chances in the
Big Ten this year. I do think they're very excited
about who's on Longstreet, their freshman quarterback, but I don't
know that Lincoln Riley's ready to throw him into the
fire yet.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It sounds like they're gonna still go with Jade Mayava.
So this is a team that you know, it just it's.
Speaker 15 (25:58):
Not been built up in the trenches the way it
should have been since Lincoln Riley got there. It seems
like in recruiting they are trying to do that now,
But I just don't know that that's it's not ready
for this season yet, and so I think they're probably
looking at a you know, average to above average season
in the Big Ten, which is not what you're paying
(26:19):
ten million bucks a year.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
For Yeah, man, they're patient, far more paid.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
They're patient.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But it's because of that contract. I'm guessing that's a
big reason.
Speaker 15 (26:29):
There's a lot of too expensive to fire coaches right now.
You know that under pressure list could have been a
lot longer. But Luke Fickele at Wisconsin, Mark Stoops at Kentucky,
Lincoln Riley at USC, you're not firing them. You are
not raising that much money and firing them.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
It's just not worth it.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Great to talk to you as always, Andy, Thank you
for joining us. Thank you, Dan appreciate it. Andy Staples
covers college football for on three Sports. Yeah, the USC situation.
USC doesn't come up in conversation, even Alabama ranked eighth.
It just feels weird. It's been a while since we've
(27:11):
gone oh yeah, oh yeah. And by the way, Alabama,
but you got I got the odds to win the
national title for Notre Dame plus twelve hundred, the odds
to go undefeated regular season plus four hundred. So Andy
Staples willing to take a pie of the face. It
sounded like he was agreeing with our caller, siding with
(27:34):
him they could go undefeated. There, We'll be there for
the USC Notre Dame game South Ben Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Uh tost schedule for USC right out of the box.
They host Missouri State, host Georgia Southern. Pause there they host.
They're at Purdue, at Michigan State. Still weird at Illinois. Okay,
it's a little tougher than Michigan.
Speaker 16 (27:58):
M hm H.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
John in Texas, Hi, John, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Morning?
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Morning John?
Speaker 11 (28:08):
First time long time five to seven or recently retired
buck fifty? Thank you for that. A couple of comments, Dan, First,
you're the greatest. You interview better than anybody.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
And uh.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
This Jerry Jerones saying, let's get real, Dan, eight million
is pocket change. You even reported this last week.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
But John, it's about the salary cap. We know he's
a billionaire, but it's about the salary. You got to
play by the same rules as everybody else. That's why
I bring up the eight million dollars that you're going
to pay extra and then that costs you. Keep in mind,
this is a team that decided not to bring in
Derrick Henry. If you have extra money, do you think
(28:58):
Derrick Henry could have helped you land year or this year?
Those are the things that sometimes the little things that
you can't keep somebody. They got Dak, they got CD,
They'll have Micah Parsons. Boy, that's a three headed monster.
But it feels really top heavy. You gotta have a
look at the Chiefs and the number of players who've
contributed to their success. The Eagles the number of players
(29:21):
who've contributed to their success. Look at the Patriots the
number of players who contributed to their success. That's not
a top heavy roster. You got to spread it out
and you gotta have depth.
Speaker 17 (29:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Tom in New York, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (29:39):
Good morning Dan and the dan Etts. Thanks for taking
my call. We got six to one and two five.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 17 (29:48):
As we're talking about agents, it reminded me of a
story with the late great Vince Lombardi with the Green
Bay Packers in the early years of agents. He had
a player command you want to talk to him, and
mister Lombardi did all the work with contracts, and player
sat down and they started talking and a player goes, gosh,
(30:08):
I'm sorry, coach, but I have an agent, and Coach
Lombardi said, pardon me. He goes, yeah, you got to
talk to my agent about my contract. So coach Lombardi said, oh, okay,
can you excuse me for a minute. Coach walks out,
goes into the other office, comes back a little bit later,
(30:29):
sits down, and a player looks at him. He goes, well, coach,
what do you think? And Lombardi looked at it and said, oh,
I'm sorry, I just traded you.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, it wasn't Bart Starr or Paul Horning or Jerry Kramer,
some of the legendary Green Bay Packers. Maybe you could
trade some backup guy. But thank you, Tom, thank you
for that little anecdote. Zack and Knoxville, Hi, Zach, what's
on your mind today? All right, b thank you taking
(31:00):
my call. Suck it, Bruce.
Speaker 18 (31:03):
And to go to the to the jacked off event
with the dan Nets. What better way to settle a
dispute between the daan Nets than to take it back
to grade school and do the newly reinstated presidential fitness test.
I think that's how you guys should settle it. And
do you have any memories of the presidential Fitness test
(31:25):
as a kid?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I remember I didn't pass it, but that was a
big deal when I was in grade school because you
wanted that certificate. Oh, that certificate. And I remember in
grade school I failed miserably. I think the pull ups
they got me that problem with that. That was a
tough one. Yeah, it was. It still is.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I remember there was a part where you had to
like sit and like reach for your toes.
Speaker 13 (31:50):
That didn't go well for me either, even in like
sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Ryan in Detroit, Hi, Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (32:00):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (32:00):
Dan, thanks for calling me back. Yeah, second time, long time,
six seven and still a soft to forty family and
I headed to Arkadia National Park in Maine, and I
just wanted to see if you have any suggestions that
we should hit up along the way for lobster or
any of the above.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I just saw an article. Oh boy, it might be
in the New York Times this past Saturday or Sunday
if you want to look at that, And it's all
of the different oyster places and lobster places along the
coast the coastline Arcadia is gorgeous, and you're going to
(32:41):
fall into great lobster there. It'll be difficult not to
find great lobster there or oysters there. But save travels there, Ryan,
But going along the coastline and it is gorgeous, but
Arcadia is awesome. And I just I remember seeing this
article and it had all of these different places. It
was basically an oyster trail and also lobster thrown in
(33:05):
there as well. We'll take a break. More phone calls
coming up, and we'll update our poll results. I don't
know if we settled on a poll question yet. Yeah,
we got one of those. Okay, we'll update that when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Jim in Michigan, Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Hey, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. I'm
a delivery person and I want to tell you that
three hours of this show are probably the best part
of my day. I really appreciate you and the Dan
as A couple comments and a question for you this
conversation about the merger of PESPN and NFL. I have
lived through the frustration of table companies with their packages
(33:57):
and trying to get sports programming. I'm a cheap skate
as a retiree, and I find it very frustrating when
I can't even watch a Bowl game during the heat
of the season. I know it's all about money. I
get that, and so it's just something I guess I
have to live with. My question would be, I've been
(34:18):
led to believe you are a fissionado of antique golf.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Club Is that true antique golf clubs? Yes, No, I
love modern technology, Jim. I have a few old ones around,
but no, I love modern technology. I do still have
a big Bertha that I don't know how old that is.
(34:41):
But when that came out, that was a big deal.
But thank you for the phone call, Jim. I just
got my happy gilmore to putter that Sandler apparently didn't
know anything about because I was trying to get one.
He goes, Danny, I don't know about it. I go okay,
Callaway reached out the Odyssey putter there and they got
me my my happy Gilmour putter that you can't putt
(35:05):
with because it's basically like putting with a hockey stick. Yes, Paul, that.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Big Bertha driver came out I think in the mid
nineties or early nineties, and it coincided a couple of
years later with the emergence of John daily and they
partnered and that was a perfect marriage.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, it's just we didn't have the flexibility that John
Daly had. Yes, Tod Big Bertha.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
Is now on Ozepic. So those glp ones.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Whatever they call it, whenever they're called, very proud of
yourself with that job.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Very proud of yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's a pretty good joke. Yeah, but it took you
a little while. You stumbled with it. No, but you
were excited about it. I was, yeah, pretty good. I
just a bloop on that. Go ahead, Yeah, bloop Okay,
Baker and Bozeman, Hi, Bake, Danny.
Speaker 19 (35:55):
It's been too long. I hope you guys have been great,
and I know you've been great because you've been dominant
since last summer number one. I've got to give you,
guys belated kudos for your again, your dominant performance on
the Family Viewed and as I had texted back and
forth with Fritzie, he's earned my respect for life or
his incredible, you know, clutch performance there at the end.
(36:15):
So on that topic, though, my question really relates to
rich Issa, who you guys crush, and you guys reached
out to rich today to ask him, how what do
he thinks about the fact he's going to see going
we're for ESPN again.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, he's already going back to do his radio show,
thank you, Baker. Yeah, there's a deal in place. He's
going to start, I think in September to do his
radio show there. And maybe this was a package deal
of ESPN buying NFL network and then Rich, hey, can
I bring my radio show get wider distribution? And maybe
(36:48):
he'll do some things for the Mothership as well. He'll
be hosting, you know, their Sunday morning show. But I
don't maybe there's other things involved with that. But yeah,
Rich has been aware of the I think for quite
some time. Uh, let's see Scott in North Carolina.
Speaker 7 (37:05):
Hi, Scott, how you doing, Dana boys? Yeah, Ritchie, Hey,
I have a nice poul question for the next hour. Oh,
which brothers are.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Going to make it in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 7 (37:17):
Next? Is it going to be the Manning brothers, There's
gonna be the Kelsey brothers.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Well, Peyton's already in the Hall of Fame and Eli
is now eligible for the Hall of Fame, So I
would say that the Manning brothers since neither of the
Kelsey brothers, Jason's not in yet he will be, and
then Travis, but I would say the mannings. Thank you, Scott.
Uh Dana in Florida, Hi, Dana, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Hey?
Speaker 20 (37:44):
Good morning Dan, longtime listener, first time getting through to you, guys.
But I've got some great info for you because I'm
from Maine originally, and I actually lived and worked in
a Kadia National Park in Bajava, Maine.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
So when you go.
Speaker 20 (37:58):
Through or get to Bar Harbor, you have to go
through Trenton, Maine, and there's all kinds of side of
the road lobster pounds on your way through Trenton. You
can't drive through there without your windows down because it
just smells so amazing because they cook them outside in
lobster pots and it's just the most amazing lobster you'll
ever eat. And of course you can't get up to
Maine without having some long neck steamers. But what I
(38:21):
wanted to share with you is I'm from Maine originally.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
I was raised.
Speaker 20 (38:25):
Catholic of Irish heritage, so I've been a Notre Dame
fan my whole life, better part of fifty five years,
all the way back to Arab Parsigi and it's always
been a bucket list dream of mine to see the
Irish play in South Bend, now here in northwest Florida
where I live. Now, I've seen the Irish play a
couple of times at Florida State and once in the
Sugar Bowl. But my great fiance bought me tickets for
(38:47):
my birthday back in April to be in South Bend
to see the Irish play USA Erojins.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, all right, Well, we'll let you know where we're
going to be when we set up there for a
couple of days. We'd love to have you stop.
Speaker 20 (39:01):
By, come by and say Hi, Look, I've been watching
you your whole career. You're a year or two older
than me, so I've been watching you do your things.
I appreciate you and keep up the good work. I
drive around for a living and I've always got you
guys on my serious XM in my car and really
enjoy the show. So thanks for letting me get all
that out and keep up the great work, Dan, Thank.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
You, Dana. Yeah, we'll let people know where we'll be
set up, and we hope to have an audience there
that they allow us to have an audience, because sometimes
you have to deal with security. You have to have
people that you hire, so you know, it's not chaos there.
It's not exactly college game day when we show up,
but you know, we do get a crowd. We love
(39:43):
having We love seeing the people. Like in the draft
in Green Bay, it was great. We had, you know,
a packed house every single day that we were there,
and the audience was great.
Speaker 13 (39:57):
You want to update the poll results, Seaton. Heck yeah,
we've had up there since hour one. By the way, Okay,
how valid our handshake agreements in sports?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Very or not at all? Okay, you want to guess, Uh,
seventy seven percent?
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Not valid?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Not at all? Has eighty three percent? I mean it's
I've shaken the hand of an ESPN president after talking
about a contract, but that doesn't mean that we agreed
to the contract. I shook his hand when I left
the room. Yeah, Paulie, remember the.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Movie Jerry Maguire and Jerry's trying to sign cush.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Oh handshake agreement.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
My word is oak or whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh, now we know how that was that Bow Bridges.
It's then final hour on the way more of your
phone calls, Todd Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly back after this,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two on this Wednesday, Dan and the
Dan Ants Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
People are fired up phone calls each seven to seven three.
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
DP show talk some college football coming up in a
little bit. Say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app. And we say good
morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Talked about
the deal with ESPN NFL network red Zone billions of
(00:33):
dollars and the Mothership and the NFL are now partners.
The NFL owns ten percent of this deal of ESPN,
and you can look at conflict of interest. But you know,
as I said before you the audience, I mean, what
do you care about? Care about just seeing more football?
(00:53):
I'm guessing, uh, you might have some people who you know,
want the league held accountable or we want to know
if the something nefarious going on there. I saw where
there was a report that the NFL is going to
do wag with the smelling salts on the sidelines. Who
knew smelling salts has been around When I was in
(01:15):
high school, I remember using smelling salts, and you know
they called it if you got your bell rung. Actually
they were probably concussions. But if you got your bell rung,
then you use smelling salts. You crack them and then
you inhale and you get this whiff of ammonia that
will clear up. It's like a horse radish, you know
if you've ever had that, and you're like, WHOA, what
(01:36):
was that? Maybe they could use horse radish on the
sidelines instead of smelling salts. But I didn't know that
there was a study going on to rid the NFL
of smelling salts. Yes, Paul, in.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
The release sense of different players the FDA. According to
the release, the FDA noted potential negative use from smelling salts,
and it massed certain neurological signs and symptoms like you
had ahead any chance. This is about the NFL worrying
that what players do on the sidelines with smelling salts
will trickle down to high school and younger athletes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, where are you getting smelling salts from?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think they're legal. I don't know, I know nothing
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Where can you buy them?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Dylan, the back room guy is actually going to purchase
some for us for Friday. Okay, but I would think
that the nflb worried that something bad could happen to
a young person mimicking what they see in the NFL sidelines.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, but you know what would be more disconcerting for
me is the number of players who have mouthpieces who
don't have the mouthpieces in, Like, if you want to
look at something that I think could be systemic where
kids will just have the mouthpiece dangling out and they
don't have to have it in. That to me is
a bigger issue. But I don't know if there's an epidemic,
(02:49):
a potential one, or you know you're watching it and
then you want to do smelling salts. All you got
to do is want if you do smelling salts once,
you don't have to do it again. It's not like
you go, man, I love that. I mean, there are
bigger issues with huffing, and you know there's other things
(03:12):
that and those are far more available than something like
smelling salts. Smelling salts is you don't want to do
it again when you do it the first time, Yes, Marvin, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
When I worked the NFL game once, I tried it
just because it was there and I look like Rayleo
and Goodfellas.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was like, WHOA.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Never a game?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
According to the NFL memo they sent out, it's prohibited
from the sidelines, pregame, postgame locker room. The clubs can't
supply it, the players can't bio smelling salts. They don't
want any part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay, but the NFL got rid of it.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
George Kittle said he considered retiring this he interrupted an
interview on NFL Network. Kirie is George Kittle of the
forty nine ers. George, Hello, friend, how are you?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I honestly just came up here to aeric grievance.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Our team had a memo.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Today that's smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal
in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Illegal.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
He even said he's not practicing anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I considered retirement.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, you got to figure out the middle ground here.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Guys helped me out.
Speaker 9 (04:21):
Somebody come up with a good ideas.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yeah, that's all I had to get out there.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So obviously he's joking, but he you know a lot
of these guys, they'll do it right before a game
or if you do get your bell wrung. You you
were involved in a you know, a big hit, then
you might do uh smelling salt.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
See.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Some of my most favorite videos of the NFL, though,
are of coaches on the sideline right after they take
a hit of ammonia.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Like why is the coach?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Why why is Adam Gaze doing a hit of smelling salt? Like, what,
You're not awake enough to coach in the NFL? Man,
I got to get awake here, yeah, Pauling.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
After thinking about it, does George kill need more or
less smelling salts in his life?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He is a walking smelling salt. There was an article
written on the Ringer. We had a caller at the
end of last hour saying that we should do our
homework here. And this is about Micah Parsons. He has
said that this past March he had a meeting with
the Cowboys Jerry Jones, and it was supposed to be
about leadership, but it became a setting for Jerry Jones
(05:34):
to talk about his contract. Parsons engaged, thinking they were
simply having a conversation about priorities and what Parsons was
looking for, not engaging in formal negotiations without his agent present.
What it seems like Jones intended was to ice out
Micah parsons representation. Parsons then said, my agent reached out
(05:57):
and spoke to somebody with the Cowboys about a deal
and was told that the deal was pretty much already done. Mike,
his agent, he says, told him that wasn't the case,
reached out to Jerry Jones's son, Stephen Jones. The team
decided to go radio silent and whenever they tried to call, email,
(06:18):
text and to start a negotiation. But they said that
they iced out Michael Parsons in his representation, and he
decided that he had a tough decision. His trade request
was submitted to Stephen Jones personally. Right, I don't know
what that has to do that. We didn't do our homework.
I told you Jerry didn't want to deal with his agent.
(06:40):
They sat down manned man and probably thought, we got
a contract here. Well, you can't do that. You have
to you have to negotiate with the agent. Okay. So
that's how we got to this point. Yeah, there's no
secret in here. Jerry didn't want to deal with his agent,
(07:02):
plain and simple thought that he could hey, we can
get a deal done in March. Well, if you thought
you had a deal done in March, that's when you
should add paperwork in March that you handed to him.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But Michaeh.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Persons is going to say, my agent needs to be
involved in this. That's all Mike is saying. Wait a minute,
I didn't agree to anything. Hey, come on in. I
want to talk to you about leadership. Okay, there's a
rule against this. See you already broke a rule. If
I'm the agent, I file a grievance against Jerry Jones
(07:36):
because it makes them look bad that, hey, we had
something and then you renegged on this. But did they
It doesn't sound like that. Once again, I think the
deal get done. I just sometimes you want to find
out the backstory with this. Everything that goes on went on.
How did we get to this point? What's it mean?
(07:58):
Down the road? Parsons is still going to make forty
two million dollars a year somewhere. But until I hear
the Bears have offered, the Commanders have offered, then you'll
get my attention. I think everybody around the league knows
it's just Jerry. That's just Jerry being Jerry.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Point, if you look at the Trey Hendrickson, you know,
situation with the Bengals. He said the same thing during
OTAs that he was told verbally certain promises, certain assurances
about a two or three year contract and what the
dollars would be, but they never put him on paper.
So it's it's apples and oranges. But it's a similar
situation that conversations don't hold up.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now, you can talk in generalities about a contract, but
until you put the numbers in writing and you sign
it and you validate it, it's just a conversation. And
that's what's confusing about this because my comparisons shouldn't be
viewed as a villain here, and you know, frankly, I
don't know if he is, but it just feels like
(09:01):
he's being kind of painted as, Hey, you're going we
had a deal, and then all of a sudden you
didn't really have a deal in his opinion, and you
don't deal with his agent and the fact that Jerry
forgot Michael Parsons agent's name. I mean, Jerry gets his way.
He's used to getting his way. In this situation, he's
(09:23):
not getting his way. Let's see a couple more phone
calls in here Robin Orlando. Hi, Rob, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 10 (09:34):
Hey Dan? I haven't been able to call him for
a while, been going through some stuff. But it's motivated
by your letter writer earlier, So suck it, Bruce.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Okay, thank you, Rob. Bruce from Washington wrote me a letter,
handwritten letter, not a long letter. I don't know what
constitutes a note and then what constitutes a letter, but
I'd say Bruce wrote me a note saying that basically
hard to listen to the show if I'm going to
b rate Fritzy for forty executive minutes, which felt a
little like an exaggeration. Todd said, maybe it was around
(10:05):
thirty three.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
I think you're round it and off close to a
half hour.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yes, plus what commercial breaks.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It can't be forty consents.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's true. I can't go forty consecutives unless he watches
me during the commercial break, which that's just you know,
love with Todd. Normally we don't. We don't carry anything
into the commercial break, do we.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
We do not, And if so, it's playful at least
I take it as playful. Cockingly, you would think I
know you I'm going to take it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yes, trip in Vegas? Hi trip, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Hey, good morning, DP, thanks for calling me back. Yeah,
I got a pole question, a Cowboys question than a
Fritzy comment in question. So my pole question would be
which was the better or worse deal? The Deshaun Watson
contract or the Herschel Walker trade in eighty nine?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, well for who?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Though?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, Deshaun Watson got the best deal in NFL history?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
What didn't? When Walker got traded? That could have been
one of the best trades in NFL history. That's what
I mean. Which one was better?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But it was also one of the worst trades in
NFL history.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
And it's one of the best contracts and one of
the worst.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yes, yes, so it depends on your you know which
side you're on here? What else do you have?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (11:19):
And then.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Why would they just let Parsons go? They're not going
to be any good otherwise, just get everything for them?
And then my most important question is I enjoy a comment.
I love when you berat Fritzy.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And by the way, thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Here's the best question. What's the over under of minutes
of you berating him before he just loses it? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I mean, I got two and a half more years
to figure that out. How about we we try to
find out Todd.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
We all have our breaking for you, But I think
it's going to be quite a while. It'll be many
many more minutes and days and weeks of that. Yeah,
I don't I get upset tonight internal things, but I
don't like lose it. I don't like know, go postal
or then. Nothing you guys can say or do would
get me that upset where I'm gonna do something great.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And I've I've just so people know that if there's
a moment and maybe if it goes too far there.
You know, there have been times when I call Todd
after the show and or texting, and then I try
to pile on even more.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
It's not bad mapping me to your wife at dinner.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Oh, I'm just a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh, I know, when you're I don't know if he
was joking.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I think it seems pretty serious. He called me into
the other side of the glass there, and it's never
to get a pat on the back I'll take.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh, I know is your wife started ripping me recently
right saying stuff to you while we were on the show.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Like what it might be, right, I don't I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But you told me that your wife sent you a
text while we're on the show and she was critical
of me.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
I don't remember what I honestly don't remember what that was.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But that's uh, it's possible, Okay.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
My daughter's usually the one that gives you, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
The why don't Why don't you look at your messages
from your wife recently?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I delete my messages like right away. It wasn't that
long ago, I know, but I literally deleted once. I
once I'm done with a text message, I deleted because
it stresses me out to see like lots and lots
of text messages all over.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, Fritzy is about a week and a
half ago. And your wife says something about something Dan
said in our one and you brought it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
To I couldn't pronounce. Oh, but that's not.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
About how you you make berating.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
She was making fun of me.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
I think she was.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Trying to correct you because the teacher in her she
takes out a little I call her red pen Jen
at home.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Wow over not great.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But anytime she corrects me or the kids, like oh there,
it goes red Peen Jens. She was doing that on you,
Red Peen gen Let's fit minus five. I guess I
said the wrong thing minus five.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Dang something the C plus.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
Instead of the B minus. I said something wrong. Okay,
but her, that's not that's how far cry from berating.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's just like you want might want to her words hurt. Okay,
I'm just saying, because she's a very nice person. For
the most point, it felt like she was ganging up
on me.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
I don't think she meant it that way. Now you're
being super sensive like me.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Mark in Cleveland, Hi, Mark, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
How are you good?
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Mark?
Speaker 12 (14:16):
Good to talk to you, listen to you for a
long time. So rather than going to the Browns, I
have a more saucy experience with.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Jenny batch of Jenny Batchie. Well, yes, was it Jenny
Batcher more like Jenny Batchie. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
That makes it much more enticing, right, Okay, Okay. So
I was at Miami of O. How my freshman year
lived in the East quad. She was across the hallway
in the other quad, and we had the same lunch room,
and every time she would walk by everybody obviously would
(14:58):
stop and it ends up that we right, it was automatic.
Everybody would stop eating. And so at the end of
the lunch I came up to her and said, blah
blah blah, we ended up being more than friends for
a couple, probably a month and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Easy, Mark, I'm not going to sit here and listen
to that. I'm going to need a second source on that. No, well,
you can call Jenny and ask her about Mark. About Mark, Mark,
who was creepy in the lunch room with her, stalking.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Creepy as you were with her.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I tried to be. I couldn't hang up on this
guy listen to that. I respect Jenny Batchie. Dang Mark.
I don't know what I got to take Mark's word
on that. About Jenny Batchie.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
He didn't say he was going to say that to me.
Speaker 13 (16:03):
He said he was gonna talk about the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Tyler is back there. He's probably panicking. He said he
was gonna talk about it. Oh, Jenny Batchie, Well, it
said his name, and then he said Brown's Is that
you wanted to talk about the Cleveland Browns classic movie. Yeah,
(16:28):
a little bait and switch is what that was we
were more than just friends. Okay, Mark, easy, how about
we take a break. We'll talk some college football coming up.
Got my dander up there, a little upset.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Last hour, we had a caller who wanted to have
a pie to the face bet with any of the
dan Nets. He said that Notre Dame is going undefeated
and winning the national championship. Well, all four dants held
up their hand. They're going to go against that bet
that Notre Dame will not go undefeated and win the
national championship. We start there with Andy Staples, one of
(17:53):
the great college football reporters in America. He works for
on three Sports. Let's look at Notre Dame's schedule. Paully,
give me the schedule here with Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's a saucy Miami they are at for Notre Dame,
They're at Miami, host texts A and m host Purdue
at Arkansas to start.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay, do you think Notre Dame can go undefeated?
Speaker 15 (18:15):
And Polly strikes me as a as a blueberry guy,
maybe one of those latticework apple pie guys. I mean,
I really, you guys do need to start thinking about
the pie that you would like to get in the face?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I think yeah, okay, this as possible. It is possible.
They can go twelve and zero.
Speaker 15 (18:37):
Winning the national title is a bit harder because you've
got to get through that entire tournament.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
But hell, they got to the national title game last year.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wait, Andy, are you willing to take a pie to
the face if Notre Dame doesn't go undefeated?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah, I'll take a face before we go. Let me
know when I need to do it.
Speaker 15 (18:58):
Just look, the Northern Ill game can happen to you,
and they could go to Miami and lose Week one.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
But this is one of those seasons that just feels
like we don't.
Speaker 15 (19:08):
Know anything, but Notre Dame feels like one of the
surer things, which is interesting because they are breaking in
a new starting quarterback and we don't really know how
that's gonna look, but we do know they're gonna have
one of the best offensive lines in college football. Jeremiah
Love is probably the best back in college football, and
I think the receivers you're going to see them a
Jene Greenhouse you saw toward the end of the playoff, like,
(19:30):
really step up. So I do think you're gonna see
a more dynamic version of a Dame offense, even though
you've got a new quarterback, probably C. J.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Carr. You point out that six of the eight betting
favorites to win the national Championship are going to break
in new starting quarterbacks. Texas is technically breaking in a
new quarterback, but it's a well known quarterback handicap. You know,
these teams, who are you know and the new quarterbacks?
(19:59):
We should be aware of.
Speaker 15 (20:00):
So the new of the new guy's Arch Manning is
the one probably who has the most experienced so of
those six teams, so that's Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama.
Arch has quite a bit of experience. Oregon's starting quarterback
Dante Moore had some experience as UCLA started a couple
of years ago, but.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Arch probably has been the most ready for this.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
And it's interesting because if Arch comes in and they're
significantly more dynamic offensively than they were last year, you're
gonna get those retroactive questions of C. Sarkisian, why didn't
you start Arch over Quinn?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
You weres earlier. But I'm fascinated to see what he
looks like because I.
Speaker 15 (20:40):
Think people who just see the last name, they're thinking, oh,
this guy is gonna look like Peyton or Eli.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He is not. Arch is a dual threat quarterback.
Speaker 15 (20:48):
His dad, Cooper, was a wide receiver who would have
been a good wide receiver ole Miss had he not
had a neck injury. So this is a This is
an athlete who actually has a very good arm, and
so so Arch's threat to run makes Texas a very
different team to defend than quinn Ewers Texas from last year.
And we'll get a good, good look at it week
(21:10):
one against Ohio State because Ohio State's gonna be breaking
in nine new defensive starters.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
The other quarterbacks, though Ohio State introd do they know
who their quarterback is?
Speaker 15 (21:20):
It's probably Julian Sayan, who is a guy who originally
signed with Alabama.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
He's from California.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
When Nick Saban retired, Julian Saying hopped in the transfer
portal and wound up at Ohio State. He was the
understudy last year to Will Howard, So the thought is
that it's going to be him. And really, if you're
throwing to Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate and Brandon ns.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
It's probably gonna go pretty well.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
And Jeremiah Smith is just a freak of nature's he's
the best player in college football this year. I don't
know if he's gonna win the Heisman Trophy, but he
is the best player he could enter the If there
was a supplemental draft tomorrow, every team in the NFL
would give up everything it could get him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
If I gave you the top three teams in the
initial rankings or everybody else to win the national championship.
Speaker 15 (22:10):
Everybody else. Yeah, there's more variability this year. I feel
like the quarterback things a big reason for it. I
look at the coaches poll and I've noticed this. So
the coaches poll came out this week. We had my
colleague Brett McMurphy on who has an AP vote, and
he revealed his AP poll ballot.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I've done some way too early.
Speaker 15 (22:30):
Top twenty five, everybody's top eight feels like it's the same.
And everybody says, well, I think any of these teams
can win the national title, and I would agree. I
like Texas, Ohio State, Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oregon, Alabama,
in whatever order you want. You could make a very
compelling case to me right now that those could be
(22:50):
the national champs. I have a hard time with anybody else.
But I also know we saw Indiana last year. I
don't know that anybody who predicted Notre Dame going as
far as they did last year. There's gonna be a
couple others that pop up.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Talking to Andy Staples covers college football for on three Sports,
is there an smu Arizona State? Indiana? Maybe we would
consider overachiever who could be in the national title picture
or the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Well, the Indiana.
Speaker 15 (23:21):
Thing's interesting because usually when a team has a big turnaround,
has a huge season, and they're not typically a successful program,
they just sort.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Of go back.
Speaker 15 (23:31):
Indiana didn't lose anybody but the quarterback, Curtis Rourke, and
then they went out and got Fernando Mendoza from cal
who's a guy that Georgia wanted, and a bunch of
other you know, big time programs wanted to get as
a transfer. So Indiana could still be just as good
as it was last year. Now, the schedule is probably
gonna be harder than it was last year. But you've
also got Illinois that won ten games last year, brought
(23:53):
a ton of guys back in the Big twelve, Arizona State,
you know we predicted the last last year they won.
They won the thing. They've got Sam Levitt back at QB,
so everybody's expecting big things from them. But I say
watch Utah in the Big twelve. They had a terrible
season last year because of quarterback issues. They went out
and got a guy named Devin dan Pierre from New
Mexico who's more of.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
A runner than a thrower.
Speaker 15 (24:15):
But when you have an offensive line like Utah's, that's
just fine.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Give me the coaches that are under more pressure than
anybody else.
Speaker 15 (24:24):
It's a crazy situation in the SEC because you have
Billion Apier at Florida, Hugh Freeze at Auburn, Rent Vinnables
at Oklahoma. All of them should have better teams than
they had last year. All of them probably have rosters
capable of competing for playoff berths. But the Oklahoma and
Florida situations, the schedules are so hard that if things
(24:47):
go wrong, they could wind up six and six and
you could see the whole staff get fired. For Auburn,
they have the roster, they just didn't have the quarterback
play last year. Like they were bad last year because
they had a essentially this groundhog Day thing where they'd
have a crippling interception late in the game and Hugh
Frees didn't manage his quarterbacks very well.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
He's throwing him under the bus publicly.
Speaker 15 (25:09):
If they get even average quarterback play, that's a team
that compete for a playoff birth. But if this roster
goes six and six, you're making a change.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What about USC.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
It's a great question, Dan.
Speaker 15 (25:23):
When you hear Lincoln Riley talk, it sounds like he
is pointing toward twenty twenty six. They have this massive
recruiting class coming in in twenty twenty six, and I
think if you ask USC fans when Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Got hired if in year four, they'd be pointing toward.
Speaker 15 (25:37):
The following year, that's not what they wanted, but that
they don't seem particularly excited about their chances in the
Big Ten this year. I do think they're very excited
about who's on Longstreet, their freshman quarterback, but I don't
know that Lincoln Riley's ready to throw him into the
fire yet.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It sounds like they're gonna still go with Jade Mayava.
So this is a team that you know, it just it's.
Speaker 15 (25:58):
Not been built up in the trenches the way it
should have been since Lincoln Riley got there. It seems
like in recruiting they are trying to do that now,
But I just don't know that that's it's not ready
for this season yet, and so I think they're probably
looking at a you know, average to above average season
in the Big Ten, which is not what you're paying
(26:19):
ten million bucks a year.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
For Yeah, man, they're patient, far more paid.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
They're patient.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But it's because of that contract. I'm guessing that's a
big reason.
Speaker 15 (26:29):
There's a lot of too expensive to fire coaches right now.
You know that under pressure list could have been a
lot longer. But Luke Fickele at Wisconsin, Mark Stoops at Kentucky,
Lincoln Riley at USC, you're not firing them. You are
not raising that much money and firing them.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
It's just not worth it.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Great to talk to you as always, Andy, Thank you
for joining us. Thank you, Dan appreciate it. Andy Staples
covers college football for on three Sports. Yeah, the USC situation.
USC doesn't come up in conversation, even Alabama ranked eighth.
It just feels weird. It's been a while since we've
(27:11):
gone oh yeah, oh yeah. And by the way, Alabama,
but you got I got the odds to win the
national title for Notre Dame plus twelve hundred, the odds
to go undefeated regular season plus four hundred. So Andy
Staples willing to take a pie of the face. It
sounded like he was agreeing with our caller, siding with
(27:34):
him they could go undefeated. There, We'll be there for
the USC Notre Dame game South Ben Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Uh tost schedule for USC right out of the box.
They host Missouri State, host Georgia Southern. Pause there they host.
They're at Purdue, at Michigan State. Still weird at Illinois. Okay,
it's a little tougher than Michigan.
Speaker 16 (27:58):
M hm H.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
John in Texas, Hi, John, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Morning?
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Morning John?
Speaker 11 (28:08):
First time long time five to seven or recently retired
buck fifty? Thank you for that. A couple of comments, Dan, First,
you're the greatest. You interview better than anybody.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
And uh.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
This Jerry Jerones saying, let's get real, Dan, eight million
is pocket change. You even reported this last week.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
But John, it's about the salary cap. We know he's
a billionaire, but it's about the salary. You got to
play by the same rules as everybody else. That's why
I bring up the eight million dollars that you're going
to pay extra and then that costs you. Keep in mind,
this is a team that decided not to bring in
Derrick Henry. If you have extra money, do you think
(28:58):
Derrick Henry could have helped you land year or this year?
Those are the things that sometimes the little things that
you can't keep somebody. They got Dak, they got CD,
They'll have Micah Parsons. Boy, that's a three headed monster.
But it feels really top heavy. You gotta have a
look at the Chiefs and the number of players who've
contributed to their success. The Eagles the number of players
(29:21):
who've contributed to their success. Look at the Patriots the
number of players who contributed to their success. That's not
a top heavy roster. You got to spread it out
and you gotta have depth.
Speaker 17 (29:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Tom in New York, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (29:39):
Good morning Dan and the dan Etts. Thanks for taking
my call. We got six to one and two five.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 17 (29:48):
As we're talking about agents, it reminded me of a
story with the late great Vince Lombardi with the Green
Bay Packers in the early years of agents. He had
a player command you want to talk to him, and
mister Lombardi did all the work with contracts, and player
sat down and they started talking and a player goes, gosh,
(30:08):
I'm sorry, coach, but I have an agent, and Coach
Lombardi said, pardon me. He goes, yeah, you got to
talk to my agent about my contract. So coach Lombardi said, oh, okay,
can you excuse me for a minute. Coach walks out,
goes into the other office, comes back a little bit later,
(30:29):
sits down, and a player looks at him. He goes, well, coach,
what do you think? And Lombardi looked at it and said, oh,
I'm sorry, I just traded you.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, it wasn't Bart Starr or Paul Horning or Jerry Kramer,
some of the legendary Green Bay Packers. Maybe you could
trade some backup guy. But thank you, Tom, thank you
for that little anecdote. Zack and Knoxville, Hi, Zach, what's
on your mind today? All right, b thank you taking
(31:00):
my call. Suck it, Bruce.
Speaker 18 (31:03):
And to go to the to the jacked off event
with the dan Nets. What better way to settle a
dispute between the daan Nets than to take it back
to grade school and do the newly reinstated presidential fitness test.
I think that's how you guys should settle it. And
do you have any memories of the presidential Fitness test
(31:25):
as a kid?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I remember I didn't pass it, but that was a
big deal when I was in grade school because you
wanted that certificate. Oh, that certificate. And I remember in
grade school I failed miserably. I think the pull ups
they got me that problem with that. That was a
tough one. Yeah, it was. It still is.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I remember there was a part where you had to
like sit and like reach for your toes.
Speaker 13 (31:50):
That didn't go well for me either, even in like
sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Ryan in Detroit, Hi, Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (32:00):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (32:00):
Dan, thanks for calling me back. Yeah, second time, long time,
six seven and still a soft to forty family and
I headed to Arkadia National Park in Maine, and I
just wanted to see if you have any suggestions that
we should hit up along the way for lobster or
any of the above.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I just saw an article. Oh boy, it might be
in the New York Times this past Saturday or Sunday
if you want to look at that, And it's all
of the different oyster places and lobster places along the
coast the coastline Arcadia is gorgeous, and you're going to
(32:41):
fall into great lobster there. It'll be difficult not to
find great lobster there or oysters there. But save travels there, Ryan,
But going along the coastline and it is gorgeous, but
Arcadia is awesome. And I just I remember seeing this
article and it had all of these different places. It
was basically an oyster trail and also lobster thrown in
(33:05):
there as well. We'll take a break. More phone calls
coming up, and we'll update our poll results. I don't
know if we settled on a poll question yet. Yeah,
we got one of those. Okay, we'll update that when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Jim in Michigan, Hi Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Hey, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. I'm
a delivery person and I want to tell you that
three hours of this show are probably the best part
of my day. I really appreciate you and the Dan
as A couple comments and a question for you this
conversation about the merger of PESPN and NFL. I have
lived through the frustration of table companies with their packages
(33:57):
and trying to get sports programming. I'm a cheap skate
as a retiree, and I find it very frustrating when
I can't even watch a Bowl game during the heat
of the season. I know it's all about money. I
get that, and so it's just something I guess I
have to live with. My question would be, I've been
(34:18):
led to believe you are a fissionado of antique golf.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Club Is that true antique golf clubs? Yes, No, I
love modern technology, Jim. I have a few old ones around,
but no, I love modern technology. I do still have
a big Bertha that I don't know how old that is.
(34:41):
But when that came out, that was a big deal.
But thank you for the phone call, Jim. I just
got my happy gilmore to putter that Sandler apparently didn't
know anything about because I was trying to get one.
He goes, Danny, I don't know about it. I go okay,
Callaway reached out the Odyssey putter there and they got
me my my happy Gilmour putter that you can't putt
(35:05):
with because it's basically like putting with a hockey stick. Yes, Paul, that.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Big Bertha driver came out I think in the mid
nineties or early nineties, and it coincided a couple of
years later with the emergence of John daily and they
partnered and that was a perfect marriage.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, it's just we didn't have the flexibility that John
Daly had. Yes, Tod Big Bertha.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
Is now on Ozepic. So those glp ones.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Whatever they call it, whenever they're called, very proud of
yourself with that job.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Very proud of yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's a pretty good joke. Yeah, but it took you
a little while. You stumbled with it. No, but you
were excited about it. I was, yeah, pretty good. I
just a bloop on that. Go ahead, Yeah, bloop Okay,
Baker and Bozeman, Hi, Bake, Danny.
Speaker 19 (35:55):
It's been too long. I hope you guys have been great,
and I know you've been great because you've been dominant
since last summer number one. I've got to give you,
guys belated kudos for your again, your dominant performance on
the Family Viewed and as I had texted back and
forth with Fritzie, he's earned my respect for life or
his incredible, you know, clutch performance there at the end.
(36:15):
So on that topic, though, my question really relates to
rich Issa, who you guys crush, and you guys reached
out to rich today to ask him, how what do
he thinks about the fact he's going to see going
we're for ESPN again.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, he's already going back to do his radio show,
thank you, Baker. Yeah, there's a deal in place. He's
going to start, I think in September to do his
radio show there. And maybe this was a package deal
of ESPN buying NFL network and then Rich, hey, can
I bring my radio show get wider distribution? And maybe
(36:48):
he'll do some things for the Mothership as well. He'll
be hosting, you know, their Sunday morning show. But I
don't maybe there's other things involved with that. But yeah,
Rich has been aware of the I think for quite
some time. Uh, let's see Scott in North Carolina.
Speaker 7 (37:05):
Hi, Scott, how you doing, Dana boys? Yeah, Ritchie, Hey,
I have a nice poul question for the next hour. Oh,
which brothers are.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Going to make it in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 7 (37:17):
Next? Is it going to be the Manning brothers, There's
gonna be the Kelsey brothers.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Well, Peyton's already in the Hall of Fame and Eli
is now eligible for the Hall of Fame, So I
would say that the Manning brothers since neither of the
Kelsey brothers, Jason's not in yet he will be, and
then Travis, but I would say the mannings. Thank you, Scott.
Uh Dana in Florida, Hi, Dana, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Hey?
Speaker 20 (37:44):
Good morning Dan, longtime listener, first time getting through to you, guys.
But I've got some great info for you because I'm
from Maine originally, and I actually lived and worked in
a Kadia National Park in Bajava, Maine.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
So when you go.
Speaker 20 (37:58):
Through or get to Bar Harbor, you have to go
through Trenton, Maine, and there's all kinds of side of
the road lobster pounds on your way through Trenton. You
can't drive through there without your windows down because it
just smells so amazing because they cook them outside in
lobster pots and it's just the most amazing lobster you'll
ever eat. And of course you can't get up to
Maine without having some long neck steamers. But what I
(38:21):
wanted to share with you is I'm from Maine originally.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
I was raised.
Speaker 20 (38:25):
Catholic of Irish heritage, so I've been a Notre Dame
fan my whole life, better part of fifty five years,
all the way back to Arab Parsigi and it's always
been a bucket list dream of mine to see the
Irish play in South Bend, now here in northwest Florida
where I live. Now, I've seen the Irish play a
couple of times at Florida State and once in the
Sugar Bowl. But my great fiance bought me tickets for
(38:47):
my birthday back in April to be in South Bend
to see the Irish play USA Erojins.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, all right, Well, we'll let you know where we're
going to be when we set up there for a
couple of days. We'd love to have you stop.
Speaker 20 (39:01):
By, come by and say Hi, Look, I've been watching
you your whole career. You're a year or two older
than me, so I've been watching you do your things.
I appreciate you and keep up the good work. I
drive around for a living and I've always got you
guys on my serious XM in my car and really
enjoy the show. So thanks for letting me get all
that out and keep up the great work, Dan, Thank.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
You, Dana. Yeah, we'll let people know where we'll be
set up, and we hope to have an audience there
that they allow us to have an audience, because sometimes
you have to deal with security. You have to have
people that you hire, so you know, it's not chaos there.
It's not exactly college game day when we show up,
but you know, we do get a crowd. We love
(39:43):
having We love seeing the people. Like in the draft
in Green Bay, it was great. We had, you know,
a packed house every single day that we were there,
and the audience was great.
Speaker 13 (39:57):
You want to update the poll results, Seaton. Heck yeah,
we've had up there since hour one. By the way, Okay,
how valid our handshake agreements in sports?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Very or not at all? Okay, you want to guess, Uh,
seventy seven percent?
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Not valid?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Not at all? Has eighty three percent? I mean it's
I've shaken the hand of an ESPN president after talking
about a contract, but that doesn't mean that we agreed
to the contract. I shook his hand when I left
the room. Yeah, Paulie, remember the.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Movie Jerry Maguire and Jerry's trying to sign cush.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Oh handshake agreement.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
My word is oak or whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh, now we know how that was that Bow Bridges.
It's then final hour on the way more of your
phone calls, Todd Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly back after this,
