Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on a Monday, Best and Worst of the weekend.
More of your phone calls. Paulie's not here today, Dylan
from the back room came out sitting in his seat.
Fritzy's here, So Seaton, Marvin yours truly more of your
phone calls each seven to seven to three DP show.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you our streaming partner
and our radio affiliates around the country. A couple of
headlines here. Matthew Stafford is seeing a back specialist again,
hasn't practiced yet, Micah Parsons making the trade request, and
Jerry Jones says, don't lose sleep over pull question, Seaton,
(00:40):
what are we going to go with in hour three?
And then we'll talk to Brent Musburger, the Hall of
Famer We got.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Up there right now?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Are the Dallas Cowboys a good team to play for?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Are your handsome right now?
Speaker 7 (00:54):
Eighty six percent say you want against Yes, that would
be new. Oh they're only get They're getting fourteen percent
of the vote right now saying that yes, it is
a good place to play. Well, what other that's a
big number. Yes, that's a big I thought it would
be way closer than that. Yeah, especially like I don't know,
given our audience, I thought there would be a little
(01:15):
more respect for the team that way. But do you
think that that's just recency bias or do you think
that's how far the Cowboys have fallen in terms of reputation.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, the number of people who hate the Cowboys probably
voted as well, and they're not a very good team.
I guess if you factor all that in, I still
think that address means something. And I look at it differently.
You're just you're more famous. I mean, Michael Parsons has
(01:48):
a podcast because he's on the Cowboys. No, it's like
Draymond Green. Nobody would care if he played in Atlanta,
but he's with Golden State and he has a pod.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It just feels like there's certain addresses that mean a
little bit more, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
Well, also, I mean, based on our caller earlier too,
a lot of those votes against playing there might be
from Cowboys fans themselves too. They don't exactly seem like
thrilled on that jointuphenomen.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Over under is eight and a half wins for the
Cowboys this year, Let's bring in the freshly minted Hall
of Famer winner of Pro Football Hall of Fame Pete
Rosel Radio TV Award. He's Brent Musburger. Do you feel
any different after this weekend?
Speaker 6 (02:33):
You know, it was such an honor, Dan, and I
owe you so.
Speaker 10 (02:37):
Much appreciation because I wasn't even thinking about it until
you and Jim Nantz brought it up and then Dick
for Meal kind of carried the ball from there, and
so I owe so much to everybody. It was a
wonderful weekend.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Dan.
Speaker 10 (02:53):
I have to say that I was shocked when Jane
Kennedy was brought in to introduce me, okay at the
banquet that night, completely unexpected.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
And of course De along with Phyllis George worked on.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
The NFL today at IRV Cross and Jimmy the Great
James got a.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Book out called Playing Jane, and she's a great story.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
I recommend that for it. But then I want to
compliment the city of Canton, Ohio. You know, this is
their biggest weekend. People were so nice in the committee
and oh, by the way, I had at least two
people mentioned Dan Patrick needs to bring his show into
Canton for the Hall of Fame. Okay, they came right
(03:36):
to me and I said, listen, I'll mention this Dan,
because there we had over a hundred Hall of Famers
show up. So yes, I so appreciate the honor, and
so does the family. But I was a kid in
a candy store when they started introducing all these guys
that I had covered. Dan Fouts did a fantastic job.
(03:57):
They bring him out to a stage and then they said,
a couple of rows on either side, and they bring
out the new Hall of Famers. And you know, the
four guys who were inducted this year had such great
stories when they came out.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'll start with Sterling Sharp.
Speaker 10 (04:13):
He was the only one of the four, by the way,
who was a first round draft choice, so okay by
the Green Bay Packers. And then it was so heartwarming
when he and Shannon hugged each other up on the stage.
Shannon presented him with the gold jacket, first first brothers
to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and I
couldn't resist.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I got over to Sterling.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
I whispered in his ear, Eli Manning will never forgive you, you.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Know, maybet Eli to the punch there going into the
all bit.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know why it took
so long, And maybe you're not the right person to
ask this, but you're in.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You're a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And then I'm very happy, you know, in a lot
this just like with John Facenda, he was the voice
of the NFL, and I just said, don't forget about
who helped us get here to a multi multi billion
dollar organization company. And I'm glad you got to experience that.
You know, I wish that IRV Cross had been around. Uh,
(05:18):
you know Jimmy de Gree, you know, people that you
were with when you did the first pregame show, any
idea if that was how successful that was going to
be when you started.
Speaker 10 (05:28):
Well, I liked the idea that we were going live.
Remember now, the pregame show on CBS prior to the
NFL Today had been called Countdown to Kickoff, Pat summer
All and Jack Whittaker. They taped it on Friday night,
Friday Night, okay, and it was Bob Wessler's idea.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Let's do this live.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
And then the halftimes of the and the postgame there
was I felt sort of an immediate impact especially when
Mike Wallace strolled in about week number four and you
are doing great? Yeah, because I always said, have hing
up next is sixty minutes. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
What is your favorite moment though or story that if
you know all the years, well, you know, let me.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Go to the night that Jimmy the Greek and I
had a little fist cups in a New York saloon.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Okay, let me tell everybody.
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Jimmy objected to the fact that he thought I cut
him short. Everybody's got to remember we only had about
twenty eight minutes of airtime, so I had to.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Dish it out to everybody. Okay.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
So I was living in Los Angeles at the time
I saw. I was working with Connie Chum in the
news in LA and then I'd flyed for the NFL today.
So I got a call the morning after I returned
to LA. We got fire of the Greek.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
We're going to get rid of him. I said, hey,
hold on, let me get back to you a little bit.
And I I talked to my wife, Arlene.
Speaker 10 (06:54):
I said, you know, Orlean, I don't want the Greeks
blood on my hands because we had an incident.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I mean, we're very I like brothers.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
So I thought about call him back, and I said, please,
don't fire the Greek.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
We'll find a way. Okay.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
So we knew Bob Aram the boxing guy, really well,
and he got us a bell and a couple pair
of boxing gloves, and we opened up the.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Next week and made the light of it and life.
Speaker 10 (07:20):
Went on from there. You know, it's it's the people, Dan.
I just loved working with the people that we had.
Phyllis left us for a while because she thought she
was going to become an Oscar winning movie star, and
Jane Kennedy was brought in after that, and it was
such a delight.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Jane was loved by the.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Players when she would grow up with the interviews and
then and then Phyllis came back.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
A little bit later.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
Things didn't quite work out in Hollywood, But it was
the people that I dealt with.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
That I loved.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Who got the better of the fight? Well, the Greek
hit me in the side. You know, it wasn't a
very tough blow. My brother might have got the best
of it.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
But the smartest guy in the bar was the bartender,
and he turned the lights off.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Okay, and so nobody could see anybody. Okay, so kind of.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
Calmed down, okay now, But what happened was I was
at the table when the Greek came in, but sitting
at the bar was a guy who worked on the
city desk of the New York Post.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He ran back and of course by a bang.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
You know, there's the picture of the Greek and fills,
you know, off, off we go. If he hadn't been
in there having a coal one okay, between shifts, I
don't think anybody would have known about it, to tell
you the truth, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It was on in an instant, over in an instant.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, I'm happy for you. I'm proud of you. You
helped put it in my head that I could do
this or they had jobs like this when I was
growing up. But happy in any role that we possibly played.
But that was more of just to remind people the
greatness of Brent Musburger. So thank you. I hope it
was everything that you hope for this weekend.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
It was, and Dann, thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That's the Hall of Famer Brent Musburger, twenty twenty five
Pro Football Hall of Fame INDUCTEAM and I was thinking
about this weekend and once again Rent did all the work.
Sometimes you have to remind people of those who came
before us. Kurt Flood is not in the Baseball Hall
of Fame. Kurt Flood is the reason why you have
(09:36):
the salaries that we have. He challenged Major League Baseball.
It cost him, but he was willing to sit out
because he didn't think that he should be treated like
a piece of property. And Kurt Flood was one of
the great defensive outfielders played for a World Series champion.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
He was a very good player.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I started to think about the contributions to the game,
and I love that aspect with Hall of Fames, just
like John Fasenda and Brent Musburger and so many different
people in certain halls of Fame that they contributed to
the growth of the game. Kurt Flood is one of
the most Oh boy, I don't even know if there's
(10:22):
word or words courageous to take on Major League Baseball
and say no, you don't own my rights after I'm
done with your team or done playing. It just felt
like he said, I'm not a piece of meat here.
But when you think about the importance, why isn't he
(10:44):
in the Baseball Hall of Fame as a contributor. Like
Buck O'Neil played in the negro leagues. And Buck lived
long enough to be able to tell everybody about these
great players who played in the negro leagues so they
could get into the Hall of Fame. And I said
to somebody with the Baseball Hall of Fame, I said,
(11:04):
Buck O'Neil is a Hall of Famer. He was a
very good player. But contributions to the game. Buck O'Neil
was the one who was there with eulogies, your career eulogy.
He was telling everybody about these players so they could
get into the Hall of Fame. Those who didn't get
to see those in the negro leagues. I said, that's
(11:27):
contributions to the game. Kurt Flood deserves to be in
the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's in the Cardinals Hall
of Fame, I believe. But Kurt Flood, he wasn't afraid.
He took on the system. Yeah, Marvin, So was.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Kurt Flood on the same level as Sonny Vicaro?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
To you, uh, no different. Sonny vccaro should be in
the basketball Hall of Fame. But Kurt Flood, what he
did that was for all of the players to be
treated differently. Sonny just found a loophole and said, hey,
I can sell shoes and make money for the coaches,
make money, you know, for the players. You know, that
(12:08):
was business. But he contributed to the game and signing
Michael Jordan and signing Kobe Bryant and almost signed Lebron Jay.
You know, he was involved in the movers and shakers,
but different. But contributions to the Kurt Flood truly contributed
to the game. I mean, you would not show, Hey,
(12:29):
Otani may not have any idea who Kurt Flood is,
but he should and I would hope maybe Baseball can
rectify that and put him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
And I've gotten on this kick as I get older,
and really my time of doing this job is diminishing.
But Barry Melrose in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Don
(12:50):
Cherry in the in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Sonny
Vaccaro in the Basketball Hall of Fame, mel Kiper in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Kurt Flood in the
Baseball Hall of Fame. To me, these are no brainers.
And I don't envy those who vote on the Hall
of Fame. I just want to remind you and any
(13:11):
of you voters that ever want to talk about why
I think this way, or if I can add any
kind of backdrop, I'll be more than happy to do it.
And I don't have any other interest in it than
telling the correct story and doing the right things for
these people. But Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Hall of Fame as a contributor. Maybe you don't put
(13:34):
him in there as a player. I understand that, but
contributions to the game. And if you're not familiar with
Kurt Flood, please google him and understand what he did
and at the end of his career, sacrificed his career
so players could become free agents. And I remember Andy Messersmith,
(13:55):
he was the first free agent in baseball history. Now
we take it for granted. Now it's normal, but it
wasn't then major League Baseball. He was Booie Kune was
the commissioner. It was Booie Kune the Kurt Flood, and
Kurt Flood eventually won. All right, we'll take a break.
(14:15):
We'll get phone calls coming out. Uh Sterling Sharp Pro
Football Hall of Famer. He will join us coming up
next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
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 app.
Speaker 11 (14:34):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, you blubber lit jam and me.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out Over Promised. And also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
There you go over Promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
There was a moment over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's called the Gold Jacket Dinner, and Brent Musberger spoke there.
Mary kay Cabot, the Cleveland Browns beat reporter, she was
honored there as well. And Mary Kay Cabot, who has
been around long enough to have covered the Cleveland Browns
when Bill Belichick was there, took a shot at Bill
Belichick over the weekend.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
Bill Belichick was the first Browns coach I ever covered.
You see, if you start out with Bill Belichick, no
one can rattle you after that. If Bill didn't like
something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me. If
you asked a dumb question, he'd call you out. Eventually,
(16:20):
I had to learn to stand up to him. During
one of those yelling matches, I told him, if you
don't have the footballs to say that to the guys,
then don't say it to me, bam. But now I
totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time.
I was twenty eight at the time, and he just
(16:42):
couldn't relate to a woman that old.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Okay, Bill Belichick's girlfriend said that, But basically it wasn't funny.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It was funny. I think that's very funny.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I don't think she's kind of disappeared here a little bit.
She kind of maybe back in the shadows there.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Can't we just stopped tearing each other down and support
each other.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I think it's a good thing that she's maybe just
slightly removed from the spotlight.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yes, Dylan, do you.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Think there's a conversation like, honey, we need to talk
about you being in the media all the time.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I don't have no idea.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I have a hard time relating to my twenty seven
year old daughter. So like, if you said I was
dating somebody the age of my daughter, that'd be creepy.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that that's therein lies of the issue.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, it's kind of hard. It's kind of hard to
relate to a twenty seven year old daughter.
Speaker 14 (17:50):
Yes, Ton, And does he tell her directly to step
back a little. Does he put it in a little
suggestion box? You leave a little note under the pillow?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know how it works there, And good luck
to them. I love love, and if their love, whatever
it is, you love all of I just love love.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
What is love?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
What's love got to do with it? It's just secondhand emotion.
Tatum in Texas, Good morning, Tatum, Good.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
Morning, four six seventy one pounds. Tydan, second time caller.
I have a best and worst of the weekend, and
the question best of the weekend my baseball team started
to practice again for our fall season. Worst of the weekend?
Speaker 16 (18:45):
My favorite team, the Astros, didn't have a good weekend
against the Red Sox. Speaking of that, what are you
and the danet favorite sports teams?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
M all right, well, Tatum, thank you for calling. Fritzy
loves the Astros, although they're not your modern day Astros,
they are back in the eighties. He also likes the
Denver Broncos. Seaton likes the Patriots. Marvin is a San
Francisco forty nine Ers fan.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Dylan Baltimore Ravens Dan.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Oh that's right, yeah, that is right?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Yeah? Where this hat? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Ravens fan.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Get that Paulie loves the anybody in Chicago, Paulie loves Cubs, Bears.
Maybe the White sucks too, But I don't have a
favorite teo. I gave that up a long time ago,
probably around nineteen ninety after the Reds won the World Series.
Then I was like, I'm done. I cannot root while
(19:47):
I'm on Sports Center. That to me, is not the
approach you should have. We should be unbiased when we're
on Sports Center, and not to get preachy. Because I
worked with a lot of people who love to tell
you who their favorite T teams were. I just never
wanted to say, hey, I'm a Cincinnati fan, let me
say something about Pittsburgh, and then you're gonna go.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, but he's a Bengals fan. I just didn't want that. Yes, Marvin, you.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Know a DP as the young kids saying, I'm gonna
call Cap because Cap big Cap. You talk about the
Sacramento Kings a whole lot, and what team did they
used to be?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Cincinnati Royals?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Bloopoo oh god, wow, that is that's going a long
way to connect dots. I just I watched the Sacramento
Kings because nobody else does that's what I want?
Speaker 8 (20:40):
No watch the Royals either.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, they did not, but I got to go and watch.
I got to go watch them in person. Yes, yes, Dylan, just.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Admit you're a Cincinnati homer. Dan, I've known all these years.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I'm not.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
What do you what's your take? You mentioned it briefly
with Paul. Your take on can you be a fan
of two teams in the same city, same sports? Like
can you be a White Sox and Cubs fan or
like a Yankee and Mets fan?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
No? Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You shouldn't be. I guess you can be, but you
shouldn't be. Bob and Boise, Hi, Bob, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 16 (21:17):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (21:18):
DP, Hey, and let me just say I enjoyed the
mellow music during the break instead of commercials. Got two
best of the weekend. First, my Milwaukee Brewers scoring thirty
eight runs this past weekend, only six spewer than the
(21:39):
all time record of forty four by the Pittsburgh Pirates
in nineteen thirty And second, probably one no one has
on the radar, but Cooper luken House finished second and
the men's eight hundred meters final yesterday to qualify for
the World Championships in Tokyo next month.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He's in high school right, which is.
Speaker 17 (22:02):
Nice because he's sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, I watched.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I watched some of those races, and I did watch
was it the two hundred meters?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
No Alliles?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I thought, oh man, he's gonna get beat And
I don't is it bed Nerrick? Is that the name
of the sprinter who had the headband on? He thought
he's winning that race and Noah Lliles. At the last
second you can just see him and he is going
to get him and he ran him down. Uh, that
(22:35):
was pretty impressive. Uh, Kenny in La, Hi, Kenny, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (22:42):
Kenny, benn Erick, There you go, track and Field's underrated sport.
So Martin kind of stole my thunder on the best
and Worst of who He came in your last college too,
the Brewers there. But going to the w NBA, which
we don't talk about too much on your show. On
the worst was Nape said, call your who was leading
Candiates the MVP, being hauled in the game with a
(23:04):
fifty point lead and leaving with the spring ankle.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, I know, I know, I never understand that when
you're watching like you know, uh, the Yukon women they
could be up by forty and some of their starters
are still in And I just said, you know, you
run the risk, like what are you doing? And Collier
is really a wonderful player and should be the MVP.
(23:28):
Thank you Kenny for the phone call. Brian in San Antonio. Hi, Brian,
he hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 19 (23:34):
Five foot six down to one eighty five. I also
have a best and best. My weekend started on Thursday, Dan,
and the best was this Thursday night football. It was
like an old friend coming home. Man, it was awesome.
Don't care who was playing, just wanted to watch it.
My other best of the weekend is a Denver Broncos
locking up Zach Allen with a great contract for a
(23:54):
guy who's been an absolute beast on the defensive line.
The Broncos are like the anti cowboy Dan. They've done
a fantastic job of locking up their young guys in
in Certan.
Speaker 20 (24:05):
And Sutton, well the Sutton's evets, you know, locking up
Zach Allen, he's been going back to Bowls and some
of those other guys, they're just doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You have a pie of the face bet for the Boys.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay, that was interesting, all right, Okay, let's hear the bet.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
So.
Speaker 19 (24:24):
I think one of the sneaky good pickups during the
off season was the Miami Dolphins picking up Zach Wilson.
Broncos wanted to keep him, but he's going to be
too expensive. You know, three terrible years of the Jets.
He has a year of football rehab. I don't think
there's any way in the world that actually makes all
seventeen games. My pie of the face bet is that
Zach Wilson will start and win at least three games
(24:45):
for the Dolphins this season.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, does anybody want a piece of Brian and San Antonio?
Zach Wilson starts and wins at least three games this year.
Dylan's in for it. Anybody else want a piece of that?
So Brian is taking the over again. He's taken three
week plus three starts. At least three starts, three wins
(25:10):
for Zach Wilson in Miami.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I'll take that, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You got two takers there, Brian, so two pies if
you lose, and then Dylan and seating on my end,
Eric in Michigan, Good morning, Eric, what's on your mind today, Nannie.
Speaker 21 (25:25):
Thanks for the call. Six fifteen point eight. I got
a best of the worst and a question for you.
The best of the weekend was I finally have to
go out golfing for the first time this summer. The
worst was I had to rip up my scorecard after
the third hole after losing five balls. Question for you
shadow Chill Sinkle hall of Famer or hall of very
(25:49):
very good. And if you guys decide to do your
deck competition at the Notre Dame uscat game, I've got
access to a high school gym and a track. If
you guys wanted to do a combine or however you
wanted to do it, it'd be good times.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Out all right, thank you Eric for the offer. I'm
still trying to see who wants to run this race.
The winner gets five hundred dollars. Who is the fastest
person in the building. And it started with one brg
Rob who said he could beat Zion Williamson in a race,
And then we went wow, okay, and then Marvin goes,
(26:28):
there is no way he could beat Zion Williamson in
a race. Then all of a sudden it became a
five k and then all of a sudden, I thought
it was one hundred meter dash. But I want to
find out who's the fastest person in the building. Yes,
maybe we do it in Vegas at the end of
this jackfest.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
What we're calling it again?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
The Jack off? Oh the jack Coffee. That's right at
the we do it in Vegas there. Yeah, who's Jack
the most?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, we have all this time to train? Yeah. Newton
in Richmond, Hey, Newton.
Speaker 22 (27:03):
Hey, Dan, thanks for taking a call. So I'm sixty
and I've been a Dallas fan since nineteen seventy one
and I've seen every iteration since then. And I think
that based on the fact that Jerry's proven more than
once that he's not what he thinks he is, because
he's been struggling to make a winning team since he
(27:25):
fired Jimmy Johnson, and the only thing he's really succeeded
at is making a ton of money. Now as a businessman,
you can't argue that he kind of knows what he's doing,
although when you see what Dak Prescott's getting paid as
a result of being franchised paged two years in a row,
it begs the question, does he really understand what's going
(27:47):
on as a general manager.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
But I would have to.
Speaker 22 (27:50):
Say hands down that if you want to be on
a winning team, Unfortunately, Dallas isn't the one to go
to if you want to make money and notoriety because
of all of the drama and all of the crap
that goes on during the season and off season. Great,
but if you want to be a winner, that's not
the place to go. And it's sad for me because
I'm loyal to them, and I'm pretty certain we're not
(28:12):
going to make the playoffs this year because the defense
is going to be just as bad or worse than
last year.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Thank you Newton. Yeah, I don't know if it's a destination.
It feels like it still is because you can go
there to be famous. Doesn't mean that you're going to
be great, but you can be famous. Dak Prescott's not great,
but he's famous. Ceedee Lamb can be great. Michael Parsons
can be great. But you know your value is inflated
(28:41):
because you play for the Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Yes, Marvin, Now, when was the last time a big
time free agent went to the Cowboys A la Dion Sanders, Like,
you know what, I want to be a Cowboy like
being famous. They're probably already famous, but I just want
to go to a really good team.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Derrick Henry wanted to go to the Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
But he lives in Dallas. Yeah, I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That was shocking, But that goes back to what I've said,
If you act sooner, can you save some money? Could
you have saved like two million dollars? And that would
be the difference of Derrick Henry playing for the Cowboys
one and a half million dollars two million dollars per year?
(29:24):
Do you think the Cowboys would be better with Derrick
Henry as they're starting running back? And that's a rhetorical
question because the answer is obvious. That's what I don't understand.
And you know, you sign up Jake Ferguson, who's a
really good tight end, but there was no drama with
that you signed him up. Nobody heard anything, no agent,
(29:45):
no nothing, nobody's mad, no acroma, just like it taking
care of you.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yes, Marvin, but.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
I feel like being a part of the Cowboys, you're
really famous in the off season more so than the
regular season, because even though on this show, maybe for us,
maybe not other networks, but when the season stars we're
going to talk Eagles, Lions cheat like the good teams.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But if you said to it a TV executive, pick
a team, you know who they're gonna pick. Cowboys over everybody,
doesn't matter. Eagles are great, Chiefs are great, Ravens are great. Hey,
what team do you want? Eagles? Cowboys to start the season?
(30:25):
One month from tonight, the season starts and it's the
Cowboys and the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yes, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Do you think like over the last couple of years
they might actually opt for the Chiefs though, like on
top of winning and like all the Taylor Swift stuff
and Elmes everything.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Else, but then people kind of I don't know, there
was blowback of having Taylor Swift on. I don't know
if they're a national draw. I think they're a great organization,
great team, But I don't know if all right, we're
gonna watch because of Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift or
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It always felt like it was it was more of
a negative than a positive. Oh, wall you stop shoeing
Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift didn't say, Hey, I'm gonna come on,
but I want seven different cameos here.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
But that's like, I mean, that's the Cowboys are just
all bad press too so like.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
But they're still the Cowboys. You either root for them
or you root against them. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Like the Chiefs aren't a villain, they're just really good.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
The Eagles.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I mean, I don't have anything against the Eagles, like
their fans can be really brutal, but I mean it's
a great organization.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
Yeah, Marvin, how many national teams do you think there
are in the NFL? Because I think the Chiefs are
probably on the same level as the Golden State Wars,
where you take Patrick mahomes off, they're not a national team.
Same thing with Steph Kirk. You take the Steph off
the Warriors, they're not a national team. So how many
national teams do you think there are in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'd say the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys. I don't know who
else would fall I mean the TV executives. You know,
maybe there's up updated data on that that would say
these are the top draws in the in the NFL.
But I just remember when I was at NBC Football
(32:20):
Night in America where you're like, how many how many
Cowboy games? Do we have because you knew that that
that was a big number. Yeah, dyl, So this is.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
The Chiefs were the most watched team of twenty twenty four,
with twenty five point five million viewers, but the Cowboys
and forty nine Ers were the only teams with losing
records that made the list.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, what's that mean the most watched that they had
a game that was the most watched.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
That was twenty five point five million average per game.
Okay in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Okay, yeah, it doesn't feel like there's the we hate them,
you know, you need to have that rivalry or you know,
the Steelers did this to us, or the Packers and Cowboys.
It's just for some reason, even though the product may
not be great, it's still the Cowboys the way they
(33:15):
present the game and Jerry Jones, you got the Star
and you know there's a.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
It's a.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It displays well maybe not the actual playing of football,
but you do tune in to watch them lose as well.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
All right, last golf for phone calls? What we learn?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
What's in store tomorrow? I'm not sure how I lost
Sterling sharp here. So I have all of these different
I have all this correspondence with Sterling Sharp. He's good
to go. I'm going to try to zoom. Okay, here's
the zoo. Can't blame you, Todd. I was trying to
(33:56):
take care of this.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
It's a tough business, a tough business.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
The booking it is it is. It's not easy, not
easy at all. We'll take a break back after this.

listen live flast. Call for phone calls, what we learn,
(34:21):
what's in store tomorrow? This day in sports history. Since
Paulie's not here he normally does the honors, I will
do it today. Jesse Owens nineteen thirty six, he won
his second gold medal of the Berlin Olympics, setting an
Olympic record in the long jump. Joel Youngblood in nineteen
eighty two, he played for the Mets in a day game,
(34:42):
traded to the Expos, and then made it to Philadelphia.
Time to have a base hit from Montreal. So he
had two base hits for two different teams on the
same day.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Let's see anything else.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I think that's it was there anything else this day
in sports history, Todd that you wanted to add.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I think that should cover it. Okay, Yes, I have.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
One Dan, Yes, Dylan Byron Nelson in nineteen forty five
when his eleventh consecutive PGA Tour when at the Canadian Open.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I got to visit him in Texas before he passed away,
and I did. They were legends of the PGA Tour
and I went down there to talk to Byron Nelson.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
And he had a club with him.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
He was holding the or a golf club with him,
and we were leaning on this wooden fence at his ranch,
and I just remember his hands were huge. Him and
Arnold Palmer had these huge hands, and Byron Nelson could
not have been a nicer person. But that's when I
asked him if he would call up Ben Hogan, who
(35:57):
didn't live too far from him, and see if Ben
Hogan wanted to sit down to do an interview.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
And he was like, oh, no, no, I won't.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
I can't do that.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
You're using him to get to Ogy.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well at the very end he started talking about Ben
Hogan and I thought, kind, I mean, why not take
a shot. I'm not that far away from where Ben lives,
and there had been Ben Hogan's sightings, and I thought
that'd be pretty cool. You know, he was like JD.
Salinger of the golf tour, and I thought, you know what, Hey,
(36:29):
would you call Ben Hogan for me and see if
he'd maybe sit down for an interview?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Oh? Oh no, no, no, I can't do that, no shot. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
Forty years ago today, Rod Carew three thousandth hit or
Frank Viola. And also forty years ago today, three hundredth
win for Tom Seaver as a member of the Chicago
White Sox.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah, three thousand, three hundred, forty years ago today.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Thank you to you.
Speaker 14 (36:53):
Welcome Augus fourth, nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Alrighty uh Baker in Illinois, Hi Bake? What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 23 (37:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 22 (37:01):
Uh?
Speaker 23 (37:02):
Six fifty? I'm with Marvin on your supposed lack of fandom,
and so I'm thinking on the very last segment of
your very last show. He hear in a few years
you just come out in a Red's jersey in a
Bengals cap and say, all right, I'm out of the closet.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
No, because I used to be fans of those teams.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I'm just not anymore. I gotta be.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
When the Rams beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl,
I thought it was a great story for the Rams.
If the Bengals had won, it would have been a
great story. I have to look at it right down
the middle. I do hard to do, but I do it.
I don't even think about loyalty like that anymore.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Yes, do When you retire from doing the show, will
you restart your fandom? Maybe take new teams?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
No, no, I can't see sports differently than I have
for the last forty years that still look for the story.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I couldn't care less. I mean, I don't care about
a fan base or maybe a player that I know,
But I'm not going to openly root. And look, there
were Sports Center anchors, they're still they're current Sports Center anchors,
and they want to tell you about their fandom.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Our job is to be unbiased, that's all I mean.
That was my approach.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
That's how I was taught when I was brought up,
learning how to do this at CNN, be a reporter,
be unbiased, and you know there are times when you're
rooting for a story, but my fandom is not worn
on my sleeve. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Hey?
Speaker 23 (38:41):
Dan?
Speaker 24 (38:41):
You guys are talking about the Cowboys earlier. I got
a fun idea for you. Will Shay and Irving call
into the Dan Patrick Show within twenty four hours of
a Cowboys Wild Card loss? Odd were minus one thousand
off the bonus if he says fraudulent within the first
and Barry mcclown and Dax smid and this team is soft.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well, he'll also talk about the ginger. He's still blaming
former coaches, and I'll go Jason Garrett is not part
of the Danny. You know, it's like he stayed the organization.
Jerry hired him. But yeah, Shay will definitely call it.
Speaker 18 (39:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Jalen in North Carolina High Jalen.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
And then six three to seventy couple bests and the worst.
William Byron finally broke through in won yesterday at the
Iowa Corn three point fifty after a tough stretch there
over the past month or so. And then brock Lesner
returning last night at SummerSlam was pretty sick. And then
(39:58):
my worst is the new York Yang. He's the seasons over,
so I just kind of wanted to get that out there.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, I just and I'm not calling for somebody to
be fired, but you know, Aaron Boone like running out
of time. It feels like for a team that went
to the World Series, like I don't know, just feels
like there's a malaise over that team.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Yeah, Marvin and the Yankees feel like they got to
the World Series because the American League isn't all that strong.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Ye know, but it's weird to say, Man, I don't know,
but you got to the World Series. I think we
saw the big separation with you know, the National League
in the American League there, yes, do.
Speaker 9 (40:39):
I'll just say the Mets did better against the Dodgers
last year than the Yankees did.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Thank you, Tom, Thanks for sitting in for Paul. Paul
expected back you of course playing.
Speaker 9 (40:50):
I don't know, thanks for having me playing hurt, playing
hurt question?
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, but you playing soft? I think you.
Speaker 9 (40:58):
Actually I texted you, I said, no major damage. Looks
like maybe just li him and strain you just go soft?
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yes, yes, soft, with all the dramas, soft soft tears. Todd,
would you learn today.
Speaker 14 (41:14):
If Luca really watches how Lebron prepares his body for
a new season. He could become the best player in
the game.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
Seaton.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
I learned Dylan has an injury.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Marvin, you think Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Hall of Fames?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
I do.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
As a contributor, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Jesse Owens won a second gold medal on this day.
Suck at Hitler?
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh yeah, you say it now, Todd, what did I learn?
Speaker 14 (41:39):
You recommend the new Ed Sullivan documentary on Netflix Sunday,
best the untold story of that Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (41:43):

Uh oh, better get maco. Have a great day, everybody.
Thanks for joining us. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on a Monday, Best and Worst of the weekend.
More of your phone calls. Paulie's not here today, Dylan
from the back room came out sitting in his seat.
Fritzy's here, So Seaton, Marvin yours truly more of your
phone calls each seven to seven to three DP show.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you our streaming partner
and our radio affiliates around the country. A couple of
headlines here. Matthew Stafford is seeing a back specialist again,
hasn't practiced yet, Micah Parsons making the trade request, and
Jerry Jones says, don't lose sleep over pull question, Seaton,
(00:40):
what are we going to go with in hour three?
And then we'll talk to Brent Musburger, the Hall of
Famer We got.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Up there right now?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Are the Dallas Cowboys a good team to play for?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Are your handsome right now?
Speaker 7 (00:54):
Eighty six percent say you want against Yes, that would
be new. Oh they're only get They're getting fourteen percent
of the vote right now saying that yes, it is
a good place to play. Well, what other that's a
big number. Yes, that's a big I thought it would
be way closer than that. Yeah, especially like I don't know,
given our audience, I thought there would be a little
(01:15):
more respect for the team that way. But do you
think that that's just recency bias or do you think
that's how far the Cowboys have fallen in terms of reputation.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, the number of people who hate the Cowboys probably
voted as well, and they're not a very good team.
I guess if you factor all that in, I still
think that address means something. And I look at it differently.
You're just you're more famous. I mean, Michael Parsons has
(01:48):
a podcast because he's on the Cowboys. No, it's like
Draymond Green. Nobody would care if he played in Atlanta,
but he's with Golden State and he has a pod.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It just feels like there's certain addresses that mean a
little bit more, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
Well, also, I mean, based on our caller earlier too,
a lot of those votes against playing there might be
from Cowboys fans themselves too. They don't exactly seem like
thrilled on that jointuphenomen.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Over under is eight and a half wins for the
Cowboys this year, Let's bring in the freshly minted Hall
of Famer winner of Pro Football Hall of Fame Pete
Rosel Radio TV Award. He's Brent Musburger. Do you feel
any different after this weekend?
Speaker 6 (02:33):
You know, it was such an honor, Dan, and I
owe you so.
Speaker 10 (02:37):
Much appreciation because I wasn't even thinking about it until
you and Jim Nantz brought it up and then Dick
for Meal kind of carried the ball from there, and
so I owe so much to everybody. It was a
wonderful weekend.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Dan.
Speaker 10 (02:53):
I have to say that I was shocked when Jane
Kennedy was brought in to introduce me, okay at the
banquet that night, completely unexpected.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
And of course De along with Phyllis George worked on.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
The NFL today at IRV Cross and Jimmy the Great
James got a.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Book out called Playing Jane, and she's a great story.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
I recommend that for it. But then I want to
compliment the city of Canton, Ohio. You know, this is
their biggest weekend. People were so nice in the committee
and oh, by the way, I had at least two
people mentioned Dan Patrick needs to bring his show into
Canton for the Hall of Fame. Okay, they came right
(03:36):
to me and I said, listen, I'll mention this Dan,
because there we had over a hundred Hall of Famers
show up. So yes, I so appreciate the honor, and
so does the family. But I was a kid in
a candy store when they started introducing all these guys
that I had covered. Dan Fouts did a fantastic job.
(03:57):
They bring him out to a stage and then they said,
a couple of rows on either side, and they bring
out the new Hall of Famers. And you know, the
four guys who were inducted this year had such great
stories when they came out.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'll start with Sterling Sharp.
Speaker 10 (04:13):
He was the only one of the four, by the way,
who was a first round draft choice, so okay by
the Green Bay Packers. And then it was so heartwarming
when he and Shannon hugged each other up on the stage.
Shannon presented him with the gold jacket, first first brothers
to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and I
couldn't resist.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I got over to Sterling.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
I whispered in his ear, Eli Manning will never forgive you, you.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Know, maybet Eli to the punch there going into the
all bit.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know why it took
so long, And maybe you're not the right person to
ask this, but you're in.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You're a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And then I'm very happy, you know, in a lot
this just like with John Facenda, he was the voice
of the NFL, and I just said, don't forget about
who helped us get here to a multi multi billion
dollar organization company. And I'm glad you got to experience that.
You know, I wish that IRV Cross had been around. Uh,
(05:18):
you know Jimmy de Gree, you know, people that you
were with when you did the first pregame show, any
idea if that was how successful that was going to
be when you started.
Speaker 10 (05:28):
Well, I liked the idea that we were going live.
Remember now, the pregame show on CBS prior to the
NFL Today had been called Countdown to Kickoff, Pat summer
All and Jack Whittaker. They taped it on Friday night,
Friday Night, okay, and it was Bob Wessler's idea.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Let's do this live.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
And then the halftimes of the and the postgame there
was I felt sort of an immediate impact especially when
Mike Wallace strolled in about week number four and you
are doing great? Yeah, because I always said, have hing
up next is sixty minutes. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
What is your favorite moment though or story that if
you know all the years, well, you know, let me.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Go to the night that Jimmy the Greek and I
had a little fist cups in a New York saloon.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Okay, let me tell everybody.
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Jimmy objected to the fact that he thought I cut
him short. Everybody's got to remember we only had about
twenty eight minutes of airtime, so I had to.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Dish it out to everybody. Okay.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
So I was living in Los Angeles at the time
I saw. I was working with Connie Chum in the
news in LA and then I'd flyed for the NFL today.
So I got a call the morning after I returned
to LA. We got fire of the Greek.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
We're going to get rid of him. I said, hey,
hold on, let me get back to you a little bit.
And I I talked to my wife, Arlene.
Speaker 10 (06:54):
I said, you know, Orlean, I don't want the Greeks
blood on my hands because we had an incident.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I mean, we're very I like brothers.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
So I thought about call him back, and I said, please,
don't fire the Greek.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
We'll find a way. Okay.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
So we knew Bob Aram the boxing guy, really well,
and he got us a bell and a couple pair
of boxing gloves, and we opened up the.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Next week and made the light of it and life.
Speaker 10 (07:20):
Went on from there. You know, it's it's the people, Dan.
I just loved working with the people that we had.
Phyllis left us for a while because she thought she
was going to become an Oscar winning movie star, and
Jane Kennedy was brought in after that, and it was
such a delight.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Jane was loved by the.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Players when she would grow up with the interviews and
then and then Phyllis came back.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
A little bit later.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
Things didn't quite work out in Hollywood, But it was
the people that I dealt with.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
That I loved.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Who got the better of the fight? Well, the Greek
hit me in the side. You know, it wasn't a
very tough blow. My brother might have got the best
of it.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
But the smartest guy in the bar was the bartender,
and he turned the lights off.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Okay, and so nobody could see anybody. Okay, so kind of.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
Calmed down, okay now, But what happened was I was
at the table when the Greek came in, but sitting
at the bar was a guy who worked on the
city desk of the New York Post.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He ran back and of course by a bang.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
You know, there's the picture of the Greek and fills,
you know, off, off we go. If he hadn't been
in there having a coal one okay, between shifts, I
don't think anybody would have known about it, to tell
you the truth, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It was on in an instant, over in an instant.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, I'm happy for you. I'm proud of you. You
helped put it in my head that I could do
this or they had jobs like this when I was
growing up. But happy in any role that we possibly played.
But that was more of just to remind people the
greatness of Brent Musburger. So thank you. I hope it
was everything that you hope for this weekend.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
It was, and Dann, thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That's the Hall of Famer Brent Musburger, twenty twenty five
Pro Football Hall of Fame INDUCTEAM and I was thinking
about this weekend and once again Rent did all the work.
Sometimes you have to remind people of those who came
before us. Kurt Flood is not in the Baseball Hall
of Fame. Kurt Flood is the reason why you have
(09:36):
the salaries that we have. He challenged Major League Baseball.
It cost him, but he was willing to sit out
because he didn't think that he should be treated like
a piece of property. And Kurt Flood was one of
the great defensive outfielders played for a World Series champion.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
He was a very good player.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I started to think about the contributions to the game,
and I love that aspect with Hall of Fames, just
like John Fasenda and Brent Musburger and so many different
people in certain halls of Fame that they contributed to
the growth of the game. Kurt Flood is one of
the most Oh boy, I don't even know if there's
(10:22):
word or words courageous to take on Major League Baseball
and say no, you don't own my rights after I'm
done with your team or done playing. It just felt
like he said, I'm not a piece of meat here.
But when you think about the importance, why isn't he
(10:44):
in the Baseball Hall of Fame as a contributor. Like
Buck O'Neil played in the negro leagues. And Buck lived
long enough to be able to tell everybody about these
great players who played in the negro leagues so they
could get into the Hall of Fame. And I said
to somebody with the Baseball Hall of Fame, I said,
(11:04):
Buck O'Neil is a Hall of Famer. He was a
very good player. But contributions to the game. Buck O'Neil
was the one who was there with eulogies, your career eulogy.
He was telling everybody about these players so they could
get into the Hall of Fame. Those who didn't get
to see those in the negro leagues. I said, that's
(11:27):
contributions to the game. Kurt Flood deserves to be in
the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's in the Cardinals Hall
of Fame, I believe. But Kurt Flood, he wasn't afraid.
He took on the system. Yeah, Marvin, So was.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Kurt Flood on the same level as Sonny Vicaro?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
To you, uh, no different. Sonny vccaro should be in
the basketball Hall of Fame. But Kurt Flood, what he
did that was for all of the players to be
treated differently. Sonny just found a loophole and said, hey,
I can sell shoes and make money for the coaches,
make money, you know, for the players. You know, that
(12:08):
was business. But he contributed to the game and signing
Michael Jordan and signing Kobe Bryant and almost signed Lebron Jay.
You know, he was involved in the movers and shakers,
but different. But contributions to the Kurt Flood truly contributed
to the game. I mean, you would not show, Hey,
(12:29):
Otani may not have any idea who Kurt Flood is,
but he should and I would hope maybe Baseball can
rectify that and put him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
And I've gotten on this kick as I get older,
and really my time of doing this job is diminishing.
But Barry Melrose in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Don
(12:50):
Cherry in the in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Sonny
Vaccaro in the Basketball Hall of Fame, mel Kiper in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Kurt Flood in the
Baseball Hall of Fame. To me, these are no brainers.
And I don't envy those who vote on the Hall
of Fame. I just want to remind you and any
(13:11):
of you voters that ever want to talk about why
I think this way, or if I can add any
kind of backdrop, I'll be more than happy to do it.
And I don't have any other interest in it than
telling the correct story and doing the right things for
these people. But Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Hall of Fame as a contributor. Maybe you don't put
(13:34):
him in there as a player. I understand that, but
contributions to the game. And if you're not familiar with
Kurt Flood, please google him and understand what he did
and at the end of his career, sacrificed his career
so players could become free agents. And I remember Andy Messersmith,
(13:55):
he was the first free agent in baseball history. Now
we take it for granted. Now it's normal, but it
wasn't then major League Baseball. He was Booie Kune was
the commissioner. It was Booie Kune the Kurt Flood, and
Kurt Flood eventually won. All right, we'll take a break.
(14:15):
We'll get phone calls coming out. Uh Sterling Sharp Pro
Football Hall of Famer. He will join us coming up
next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
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 app.
Speaker 11 (14:34):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, you blubber lit jam and me.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out Over Promised. And also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
There you go over Promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
There was a moment over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's called the Gold Jacket Dinner, and Brent Musberger spoke there.
Mary kay Cabot, the Cleveland Browns beat reporter, she was
honored there as well. And Mary Kay Cabot, who has
been around long enough to have covered the Cleveland Browns
when Bill Belichick was there, took a shot at Bill
Belichick over the weekend.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
Bill Belichick was the first Browns coach I ever covered.
You see, if you start out with Bill Belichick, no
one can rattle you after that. If Bill didn't like
something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me. If
you asked a dumb question, he'd call you out. Eventually,
(16:20):
I had to learn to stand up to him. During
one of those yelling matches, I told him, if you
don't have the footballs to say that to the guys,
then don't say it to me, bam. But now I
totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time.
I was twenty eight at the time, and he just
(16:42):
couldn't relate to a woman that old.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Okay, Bill Belichick's girlfriend said that, But basically it wasn't funny.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It was funny. I think that's very funny.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I don't think she's kind of disappeared here a little bit.
She kind of maybe back in the shadows there.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Can't we just stopped tearing each other down and support
each other.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I think it's a good thing that she's maybe just
slightly removed from the spotlight.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yes, Dylan, do you.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Think there's a conversation like, honey, we need to talk
about you being in the media all the time.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I don't have no idea.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I have a hard time relating to my twenty seven
year old daughter. So like, if you said I was
dating somebody the age of my daughter, that'd be creepy.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that that's therein lies of the issue.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, it's kind of hard. It's kind of hard to
relate to a twenty seven year old daughter.
Speaker 14 (17:50):
Yes, Ton, And does he tell her directly to step
back a little. Does he put it in a little
suggestion box? You leave a little note under the pillow?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know how it works there, And good luck
to them. I love love, and if their love, whatever
it is, you love all of I just love love.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
What is love?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
What's love got to do with it? It's just secondhand emotion.
Tatum in Texas, Good morning, Tatum, Good.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
Morning, four six seventy one pounds. Tydan, second time caller.
I have a best and worst of the weekend, and
the question best of the weekend my baseball team started
to practice again for our fall season. Worst of the weekend?
Speaker 16 (18:45):
My favorite team, the Astros, didn't have a good weekend
against the Red Sox. Speaking of that, what are you
and the danet favorite sports teams?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
M all right, well, Tatum, thank you for calling. Fritzy
loves the Astros, although they're not your modern day Astros,
they are back in the eighties. He also likes the
Denver Broncos. Seaton likes the Patriots. Marvin is a San
Francisco forty nine Ers fan.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Dylan Baltimore Ravens Dan.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Oh that's right, yeah, that is right?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Yeah? Where this hat? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Ravens fan.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Get that Paulie loves the anybody in Chicago, Paulie loves Cubs, Bears.
Maybe the White sucks too, But I don't have a
favorite teo. I gave that up a long time ago,
probably around nineteen ninety after the Reds won the World Series.
Then I was like, I'm done. I cannot root while
(19:47):
I'm on Sports Center. That to me, is not the
approach you should have. We should be unbiased when we're
on Sports Center, and not to get preachy. Because I
worked with a lot of people who love to tell
you who their favorite T teams were. I just never
wanted to say, hey, I'm a Cincinnati fan, let me
say something about Pittsburgh, and then you're gonna go.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, but he's a Bengals fan. I just didn't want that. Yes, Marvin, you.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Know a DP as the young kids saying, I'm gonna
call Cap because Cap big Cap. You talk about the
Sacramento Kings a whole lot, and what team did they
used to be?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Cincinnati Royals?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Bloopoo oh god, wow, that is that's going a long
way to connect dots. I just I watched the Sacramento
Kings because nobody else does that's what I want?
Speaker 8 (20:40):
No watch the Royals either.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, they did not, but I got to go and watch.
I got to go watch them in person. Yes, yes, Dylan, just.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Admit you're a Cincinnati homer. Dan, I've known all these years.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I'm not.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
What do you what's your take? You mentioned it briefly
with Paul. Your take on can you be a fan
of two teams in the same city, same sports? Like
can you be a White Sox and Cubs fan or
like a Yankee and Mets fan?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
No? Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You shouldn't be. I guess you can be, but you
shouldn't be. Bob and Boise, Hi, Bob, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 16 (21:17):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (21:18):
DP, Hey, and let me just say I enjoyed the
mellow music during the break instead of commercials. Got two
best of the weekend. First, my Milwaukee Brewers scoring thirty
eight runs this past weekend, only six spewer than the
(21:39):
all time record of forty four by the Pittsburgh Pirates
in nineteen thirty And second, probably one no one has
on the radar, but Cooper luken House finished second and
the men's eight hundred meters final yesterday to qualify for
the World Championships in Tokyo next month.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He's in high school right, which is.
Speaker 17 (22:02):
Nice because he's sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, I watched.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I watched some of those races, and I did watch
was it the two hundred meters?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
No Alliles?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I thought, oh man, he's gonna get beat And
I don't is it bed Nerrick? Is that the name
of the sprinter who had the headband on? He thought
he's winning that race and Noah Lliles. At the last
second you can just see him and he is going
to get him and he ran him down. Uh, that
(22:35):
was pretty impressive. Uh, Kenny in La, Hi, Kenny, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (22:42):
Kenny, benn Erick, There you go, track and Field's underrated sport.
So Martin kind of stole my thunder on the best
and Worst of who He came in your last college too,
the Brewers there. But going to the w NBA, which
we don't talk about too much on your show. On
the worst was Nape said, call your who was leading
Candiates the MVP, being hauled in the game with a
(23:04):
fifty point lead and leaving with the spring ankle.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, I know, I know, I never understand that when
you're watching like you know, uh, the Yukon women they
could be up by forty and some of their starters
are still in And I just said, you know, you
run the risk, like what are you doing? And Collier
is really a wonderful player and should be the MVP.
(23:28):
Thank you Kenny for the phone call. Brian in San Antonio. Hi, Brian,
he hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 19 (23:34):
Five foot six down to one eighty five. I also
have a best and best. My weekend started on Thursday, Dan,
and the best was this Thursday night football. It was
like an old friend coming home. Man, it was awesome.
Don't care who was playing, just wanted to watch it.
My other best of the weekend is a Denver Broncos
locking up Zach Allen with a great contract for a
(23:54):
guy who's been an absolute beast on the defensive line.
The Broncos are like the anti cowboy Dan. They've done
a fantastic job of locking up their young guys in
in Certan.
Speaker 20 (24:05):
And Sutton, well the Sutton's evets, you know, locking up
Zach Allen, he's been going back to Bowls and some
of those other guys, they're just doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You have a pie of the face bet for the Boys.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay, that was interesting, all right, Okay, let's hear the bet.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
So.
Speaker 19 (24:24):
I think one of the sneaky good pickups during the
off season was the Miami Dolphins picking up Zach Wilson.
Broncos wanted to keep him, but he's going to be
too expensive. You know, three terrible years of the Jets.
He has a year of football rehab. I don't think
there's any way in the world that actually makes all
seventeen games. My pie of the face bet is that
Zach Wilson will start and win at least three games
(24:45):
for the Dolphins this season.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, does anybody want a piece of Brian and San Antonio?
Zach Wilson starts and wins at least three games this year.
Dylan's in for it. Anybody else want a piece of that?
So Brian is taking the over again. He's taken three
week plus three starts. At least three starts, three wins
(25:10):
for Zach Wilson in Miami.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I'll take that, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You got two takers there, Brian, so two pies if
you lose, and then Dylan and seating on my end,
Eric in Michigan, Good morning, Eric, what's on your mind today, Nannie.
Speaker 21 (25:25):
Thanks for the call. Six fifteen point eight. I got
a best of the worst and a question for you.
The best of the weekend was I finally have to
go out golfing for the first time this summer. The
worst was I had to rip up my scorecard after
the third hole after losing five balls. Question for you
shadow Chill Sinkle hall of Famer or hall of very
(25:49):
very good. And if you guys decide to do your
deck competition at the Notre Dame uscat game, I've got
access to a high school gym and a track. If
you guys wanted to do a combine or however you
wanted to do it, it'd be good times.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Out all right, thank you Eric for the offer. I'm
still trying to see who wants to run this race.
The winner gets five hundred dollars. Who is the fastest
person in the building. And it started with one brg
Rob who said he could beat Zion Williamson in a race,
And then we went wow, okay, and then Marvin goes,
(26:28):
there is no way he could beat Zion Williamson in
a race. Then all of a sudden it became a
five k and then all of a sudden, I thought
it was one hundred meter dash. But I want to
find out who's the fastest person in the building. Yes,
maybe we do it in Vegas at the end of
this jackfest.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
What we're calling it again?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
The Jack off? Oh the jack Coffee. That's right at
the we do it in Vegas there. Yeah, who's Jack
the most?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, we have all this time to train? Yeah. Newton
in Richmond, Hey, Newton.
Speaker 22 (27:03):
Hey, Dan, thanks for taking a call. So I'm sixty
and I've been a Dallas fan since nineteen seventy one
and I've seen every iteration since then. And I think
that based on the fact that Jerry's proven more than
once that he's not what he thinks he is, because
he's been struggling to make a winning team since he
(27:25):
fired Jimmy Johnson, and the only thing he's really succeeded
at is making a ton of money. Now as a businessman,
you can't argue that he kind of knows what he's doing,
although when you see what Dak Prescott's getting paid as
a result of being franchised paged two years in a row,
it begs the question, does he really understand what's going
(27:47):
on as a general manager.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
But I would have to.
Speaker 22 (27:50):
Say hands down that if you want to be on
a winning team, Unfortunately, Dallas isn't the one to go
to if you want to make money and notoriety because
of all of the drama and all of the crap
that goes on during the season and off season. Great,
but if you want to be a winner, that's not
the place to go. And it's sad for me because
I'm loyal to them, and I'm pretty certain we're not
(28:12):
going to make the playoffs this year because the defense
is going to be just as bad or worse than
last year.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Thank you Newton. Yeah, I don't know if it's a destination.
It feels like it still is because you can go
there to be famous. Doesn't mean that you're going to
be great, but you can be famous. Dak Prescott's not great,
but he's famous. Ceedee Lamb can be great. Michael Parsons
can be great. But you know your value is inflated
(28:41):
because you play for the Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Yes, Marvin, Now, when was the last time a big
time free agent went to the Cowboys A la Dion Sanders, Like,
you know what, I want to be a Cowboy like
being famous. They're probably already famous, but I just want
to go to a really good team.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Derrick Henry wanted to go to the Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
But he lives in Dallas. Yeah, I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That was shocking, But that goes back to what I've said,
If you act sooner, can you save some money? Could
you have saved like two million dollars? And that would
be the difference of Derrick Henry playing for the Cowboys
one and a half million dollars two million dollars per year?
(29:24):
Do you think the Cowboys would be better with Derrick
Henry as they're starting running back? And that's a rhetorical
question because the answer is obvious. That's what I don't understand.
And you know, you sign up Jake Ferguson, who's a
really good tight end, but there was no drama with
that you signed him up. Nobody heard anything, no agent,
(29:45):
no nothing, nobody's mad, no acroma, just like it taking
care of you.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yes, Marvin, but.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
I feel like being a part of the Cowboys, you're
really famous in the off season more so than the
regular season, because even though on this show, maybe for us,
maybe not other networks, but when the season stars we're
going to talk Eagles, Lions cheat like the good teams.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But if you said to it a TV executive, pick
a team, you know who they're gonna pick. Cowboys over everybody,
doesn't matter. Eagles are great, Chiefs are great, Ravens are great. Hey,
what team do you want? Eagles? Cowboys to start the season?
(30:25):
One month from tonight, the season starts and it's the
Cowboys and the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yes, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Do you think like over the last couple of years
they might actually opt for the Chiefs though, like on
top of winning and like all the Taylor Swift stuff
and Elmes everything.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Else, but then people kind of I don't know, there
was blowback of having Taylor Swift on. I don't know
if they're a national draw. I think they're a great organization,
great team, But I don't know if all right, we're
gonna watch because of Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift or
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It always felt like it was it was more of
a negative than a positive. Oh, wall you stop shoeing
Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift didn't say, Hey, I'm gonna come on,
but I want seven different cameos here.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
But that's like, I mean, that's the Cowboys are just
all bad press too so like.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
But they're still the Cowboys. You either root for them
or you root against them. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Like the Chiefs aren't a villain, they're just really good.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
The Eagles.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I mean, I don't have anything against the Eagles, like
their fans can be really brutal, but I mean it's
a great organization.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
Yeah, Marvin, how many national teams do you think there
are in the NFL? Because I think the Chiefs are
probably on the same level as the Golden State Wars,
where you take Patrick mahomes off, they're not a national team.
Same thing with Steph Kirk. You take the Steph off
the Warriors, they're not a national team. So how many
national teams do you think there are in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'd say the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys. I don't know who
else would fall I mean the TV executives. You know,
maybe there's up updated data on that that would say
these are the top draws in the in the NFL.
But I just remember when I was at NBC Football
(32:20):
Night in America where you're like, how many how many
Cowboy games? Do we have because you knew that that
that was a big number. Yeah, dyl, So this is.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
The Chiefs were the most watched team of twenty twenty four,
with twenty five point five million viewers, but the Cowboys
and forty nine Ers were the only teams with losing
records that made the list.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, what's that mean the most watched that they had
a game that was the most watched.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
That was twenty five point five million average per game.
Okay in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Okay, yeah, it doesn't feel like there's the we hate them,
you know, you need to have that rivalry or you know,
the Steelers did this to us, or the Packers and Cowboys.
It's just for some reason, even though the product may
not be great, it's still the Cowboys the way they
(33:15):
present the game and Jerry Jones, you got the Star
and you know there's a.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
It's a.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It displays well maybe not the actual playing of football,
but you do tune in to watch them lose as well.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
All right, last golf for phone calls? What we learn?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
What's in store tomorrow? I'm not sure how I lost
Sterling sharp here. So I have all of these different
I have all this correspondence with Sterling Sharp. He's good
to go. I'm going to try to zoom. Okay, here's
the zoo. Can't blame you, Todd. I was trying to
(33:56):
take care of this.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
It's a tough business, a tough business.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
The booking it is it is. It's not easy, not
easy at all. We'll take a break back after this.

(34:21):
what's in store tomorrow? This day in sports history. Since
Paulie's not here he normally does the honors, I will
do it today. Jesse Owens nineteen thirty six, he won
his second gold medal of the Berlin Olympics, setting an
Olympic record in the long jump. Joel Youngblood in nineteen
eighty two, he played for the Mets in a day game,
(34:42):
traded to the Expos, and then made it to Philadelphia.
Time to have a base hit from Montreal. So he
had two base hits for two different teams on the
same day.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Let's see anything else.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I think that's it was there anything else this day
in sports history, Todd that you wanted to add.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I think that should cover it. Okay, Yes, I have.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
One Dan, Yes, Dylan Byron Nelson in nineteen forty five
when his eleventh consecutive PGA Tour when at the Canadian Open.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I got to visit him in Texas before he passed away,
and I did. They were legends of the PGA Tour
and I went down there to talk to Byron Nelson.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
And he had a club with him.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
He was holding the or a golf club with him,
and we were leaning on this wooden fence at his ranch,
and I just remember his hands were huge. Him and
Arnold Palmer had these huge hands, and Byron Nelson could
not have been a nicer person. But that's when I
asked him if he would call up Ben Hogan, who
(35:57):
didn't live too far from him, and see if Ben
Hogan wanted to sit down to do an interview.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
And he was like, oh, no, no, I won't.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
I can't do that.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
You're using him to get to Ogy.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well at the very end he started talking about Ben
Hogan and I thought, kind, I mean, why not take
a shot. I'm not that far away from where Ben lives,
and there had been Ben Hogan's sightings, and I thought
that'd be pretty cool. You know, he was like JD.
Salinger of the golf tour, and I thought, you know what, Hey,
(36:29):
would you call Ben Hogan for me and see if
he'd maybe sit down for an interview?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Oh? Oh no, no, no, I can't do that, no shot. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
Forty years ago today, Rod Carew three thousandth hit or
Frank Viola. And also forty years ago today, three hundredth
win for Tom Seaver as a member of the Chicago
White Sox.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah, three thousand, three hundred, forty years ago today.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Thank you to you.
Speaker 14 (36:53):
Welcome Augus fourth, nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Alrighty uh Baker in Illinois, Hi Bake? What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 23 (37:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 22 (37:01):
Uh?
Speaker 23 (37:02):
Six fifty? I'm with Marvin on your supposed lack of fandom,
and so I'm thinking on the very last segment of
your very last show. He hear in a few years
you just come out in a Red's jersey in a
Bengals cap and say, all right, I'm out of the closet.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
No, because I used to be fans of those teams.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I'm just not anymore. I gotta be.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
When the Rams beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl,
I thought it was a great story for the Rams.
If the Bengals had won, it would have been a
great story. I have to look at it right down
the middle. I do hard to do, but I do it.
I don't even think about loyalty like that anymore.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Yes, do When you retire from doing the show, will
you restart your fandom? Maybe take new teams?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
No, no, I can't see sports differently than I have
for the last forty years that still look for the story.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I couldn't care less. I mean, I don't care about
a fan base or maybe a player that I know,
But I'm not going to openly root. And look, there
were Sports Center anchors, they're still they're current Sports Center anchors,
and they want to tell you about their fandom.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Our job is to be unbiased, that's all I mean.
That was my approach.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
That's how I was taught when I was brought up,
learning how to do this at CNN, be a reporter,
be unbiased, and you know there are times when you're
rooting for a story, but my fandom is not worn
on my sleeve. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Hey?
Speaker 23 (38:41):
Dan?
Speaker 24 (38:41):
You guys are talking about the Cowboys earlier. I got
a fun idea for you. Will Shay and Irving call
into the Dan Patrick Show within twenty four hours of
a Cowboys Wild Card loss? Odd were minus one thousand
off the bonus if he says fraudulent within the first
and Barry mcclown and Dax smid and this team is soft.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well, he'll also talk about the ginger. He's still blaming
former coaches, and I'll go Jason Garrett is not part
of the Danny. You know, it's like he stayed the organization.
Jerry hired him. But yeah, Shay will definitely call it.
Speaker 18 (39:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Jalen in North Carolina High Jalen.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
And then six three to seventy couple bests and the worst.
William Byron finally broke through in won yesterday at the
Iowa Corn three point fifty after a tough stretch there
over the past month or so. And then brock Lesner
returning last night at SummerSlam was pretty sick. And then
(39:58):
my worst is the new York Yang. He's the seasons over,
so I just kind of wanted to get that out there.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, I just and I'm not calling for somebody to
be fired, but you know, Aaron Boone like running out
of time. It feels like for a team that went
to the World Series, like I don't know, just feels
like there's a malaise over that team.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Yeah, Marvin and the Yankees feel like they got to
the World Series because the American League isn't all that strong.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Ye know, but it's weird to say, Man, I don't know,
but you got to the World Series. I think we
saw the big separation with you know, the National League
in the American League there, yes, do.
Speaker 9 (40:39):
I'll just say the Mets did better against the Dodgers
last year than the Yankees did.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Thank you, Tom, Thanks for sitting in for Paul. Paul
expected back you of course playing.
Speaker 9 (40:50):
I don't know, thanks for having me playing hurt, playing
hurt question?
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, but you playing soft? I think you.
Speaker 9 (40:58):
Actually I texted you, I said, no major damage. Looks
like maybe just li him and strain you just go soft?
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yes, yes, soft, with all the dramas, soft soft tears. Todd,
would you learn today.
Speaker 14 (41:14):
If Luca really watches how Lebron prepares his body for
a new season. He could become the best player in
the game.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
Seaton.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
I learned Dylan has an injury.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Marvin, you think Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Hall of Fames?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
I do.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
As a contributor, Dylan.
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Jesse Owens won a second gold medal on this day.
Suck at Hitler?
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh yeah, you say it now, Todd, what did I learn?
Speaker 14 (41:39):
You recommend the new Ed Sullivan documentary on Netflix Sunday,
best the untold story of that Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
