Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Friday, it's a meat Friday. I
of course in the head of quality control. I went
out to check out the Tariaki chicken stir fry and
it is delish. We also have spring rolls. Who has
it better than we do?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No body?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Sunday Night, Nobody has it better than we do. And
NBC and Peacock Kings of the North, Sam Darnold and
the Vikings against Jared Goff and the Lions. It's the
final game of the regular season and what's up for
grabs number one seed in the NFC. The loser will
be the fifth seed with fourteen wins on the road
opening round to the playoffs. Sunday seven Eastern on NBC
(00:41):
in Peacock. And if you talk about a must win situation,
this is and we'll do the must win game of
the weekend coming up. But if I look at the Lions,
I have to take them off the board for the
following reason. They have to win this game for a
variety of reasons. You want to have the number one
overall seed, you have the home field advantage, so they
need to continue to win. So there is the possibility
(01:04):
that Aiden Hutchinson will be able to play. The longer
they go, the more opportunity for these players. And it's
not just him, there's a couple other players. They're trying
to get back for the postseason. They must win this
game this weekend. They got to get to the NFC
Title Game, and if they do, chances are they would
(01:25):
have Aiden Hutchinson back for the Super Bowl. But when
you talk about most must win, I know there's other
scenarios here, but that would probably be front and center
for me because it's not just home field advantage. It's
also sending the Vikings on the road, and it's also
maybe going to extend the opportunity to be able to
(01:47):
extend your postseason because you'll have home field advantage. All right,
Final hour phone calls are welcome, Seaton. You'll have the
poll question for the final hour. Tyler sitting by to
take your phone calls. Eight seven to seven, three DP show.
Good morning, those watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading
the app and our radio affiliates around the country over
four hundred cities that carry this program. Well have rime
(02:08):
time with Fritzy. Most must Win Game of the weekend
coming up. Big Mike Gullick will also stop by as well.
It was a great night for Notre Dame. This is
one of those games that, now, this isn't a great
Georgia team, but it's a dangerous Georgia team. And I
thought that Notre Dame looked like an SEC team, or
at least an older, old school SEC. You know, they
(02:31):
were able to control the ball, they were physical, they
had speed, all the things, you know. And I go
back to I was at the national title game with
Ohio State in Florida, and I remember it was just different.
You just watched what the SEC was all about, and
it was speed. And I thought, there is a big
(02:52):
difference between the SEC and everybody else. There's not that
big of a difference anymore. Dan Wilton, who writes for
USA Today, he has an article that starts out by
saying SEC and its dear leader should accept reality. The
league no longer rules college football. Goes on to write
(03:13):
the time has come for SEC fans, its media machine,
and especially its commissioner to fess up to the reality
that it has simmered under the surface this entire college
football season. The world has changed significantly and the old
reliable narrative that there is a different quality of football
in the SEC than other leagues is now more of
(03:36):
a myth than a reality. It goes on to write
how you can't stockpile players nil transfer portal. That's changed everything,
and he ends up by saying that they should not
be entitled, that we wont all these championships under a
completely different set of rules. So you must kneel to
us now that Bologney that comes far too naturally for
(04:01):
people all over that league. It's time for a new act.
It's time to be honest, it's time to face facts.
You're just like everyone else now, Yes, Paully, I.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Like to pump the brakes on that article. One off
year for the SEC does not deny the past twenty years.
They stir the drink of college football. They will in
the off season, Greg Sanki make maneuvers to alter the
rules of the college football playoffs to be more friendly
to them. One off year does not mean falling off
a cliff. It's like a basketball player in his prime
(04:33):
has an off year and they say, well that's it,
Tom Brady's falling off a cliff, or Lebron James, the
SEC is going to be fine and they are going
to keep running.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Things, but there's only so much amount of money you
can spend on an io and other schools are promising
your opportunity to play right away. If you're a quarterback,
you want to play. If you're transferring, you want to
play now. You're not going to be third on the
depth chart waiting for your turn at Alabama. It's just
not going to happen. And you even saw this with
(05:03):
Georgia last night. Georgia should have five running backs ready
to go, and maybe they do, but they didn't have
a running game last night. I mean, Sony Michelle and
Nick Chubb, Like, this is Georgia. You got to have
a running back. They had no running game. Now you're
still spending money on the offensive and defensive line, but
(05:24):
it just feels like these other schools can pony up
money and it can be an attractive place to go
because you can play right away. I think that's the
difference is maybe they're not going to be as great
as they once were, but you're going to have teams
that maybe you didn't factor in, like SMU or Indiana,
(05:44):
Arizona State, Boise State, that they can come up and
they can play with you. It's only one game. That's
all you're asking for. They wanted an opportunity. Now they lost,
but they got an opportunity and Arizona State took Tech
to the mat double overtime. That's what you want. Now
you have more teams that can make the playoff. It's
(06:06):
not making a bowl game, it's making the playoffs. So
now when you spend, you're spending with a goal that
can be lucrative because if you win or you continue
to win and that amount of money, like Notre Dame
doesn't have to share the money. They had fourteen million
dollars they made last night and then they got this
(06:29):
next game. So that's where you know, the business of
college football is allowing you to be able to compete
and if you win your conference and college football will change,
it'll continue to change. But this is why when you
see what's going on now, transfer portal. I can get
that quarterback who played with that team, quin Ewers is
(06:52):
going to play for somebody next year. Imagine if quinn
Ewers goes to Notre Dame or Oregon, six million dollars
probably gonna cost you got your quarterback. So that's what's
going on. Notre Dame, Sam Hartman, Riley Leonard, come on in,
(07:13):
play a year, see you later. That's what college football
has become. You know, it's not this. Hey, You've earned
your time. Your time is now. You come in, you play.
If you don't play, you're thinking about transferring or I
might transfer. How much you're gonna pay me to stay?
(07:34):
This is what's going on, and it'll continue until they're
able to put, you know, a seatbelt on this. And
believe me, they're working on this. They are like, how
did this happen?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Kind of like you walk in and you left your
teenagers alone for the weekend to have a party, and
you're like, what happened? You left us alone? We decided
to have a party. Mom satur The Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the
Dan Patrick Show. Donovan in Iowa, Hi Donovan, what's on
(08:11):
you on today?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Six two one fifty lanky?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Youre talking some dude earlier about Riley Leonard's Notre Dame
quarterback and how he can't be Taysom Hill because.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
He's too small.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, Riley Leonard's six four two inches taller than Taysom
Hill in the same weight. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I feel like he could be.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Way better, uh if he wanted to. I don't say
there there.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know, Riley Leonard is is lanky. Taysom Hill is jacked, Okay,
and he was like that in college. Riley Leonard's good athlete.
I told you, you know, he was recruited to play
college basketball. He's a perfect college quarterback. But Taysom Hill
is different. There's no there's no other Taysom Hill in
the NFL. And Riley Leonard is not playing running back. Okay,
(09:08):
maybe gets a chance playing quarterback.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean, I've just I've watched him. He's athletic, you know,
watched him before he transferred, so I was aware of
him and he found a great place. But he's not
Taysom Hill. How about the most must win game of
the weekend. I can't wait any longer. Okay, Lions are
off the board. Okay, because if you factor this in
(09:33):
the Lions the most must win, you get the bye week,
and then you have eighteen players on the IR Thirteen
of the eighteen players for the Lions on the ir
defensive players. They're gonna have to outscore everybody like they're
They can't just score twenty one points in win a game.
(09:54):
They can't. I'd be shocked if they do. All right, Todd,
the most must win game of the.
Speaker 10 (09:59):
Weekend, Shockingly, I'm gonna go with at Mile High Stadium,
the Broncos must be Carson Wentz and the second tier
Chiefs and finally grab.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You, you know what, I'm taking the Broncos off the
board for you.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
Are you real?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, that's obvious.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
Then I'm gonna go for a must win for.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I'll come back to Okay, Yeah, I'll come back to Seaton.
Most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 11 (10:23):
I think if this is a must win weekend for Russell.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Wilson, Russell Wilson's future.
Speaker 11 (10:30):
I think Russell Wilson if he beats the Bengals, which
I think knocks them out of the playoffs, right yeah,
I think if he's able to do that, he can
count on having a job in Pittsburgh next year. I'm
not sure if he doesn't. Though Bengals favored by two
by two, I think he wins that game. You can
count on him coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
All right, Marvin most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 12 (10:54):
Ironically, I have the Cincinnati Bengals if they can get in.
Have a couple teams lose. That's a team you do
not want to see in the playoffs, like legit.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You don't want to see, you do not they can
get to the super.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Bowl, Yeah, they can't get to the super Bowl. Part
of the FI yeah, Pie of the Faith. They they
don't have a defense.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They got Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
They have Joe Burrow, and they have Jamar Chase and
they have t Higgins, Paulie. The most must win game
of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Is my mmwg ot W is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
favored by fourteen against the Saints. The NFC is wide
open and they are very threatening if they get there.
I'm gonna give you a bonus. Most must lose game
of the weekend. This is new the New England Patriots
(11:45):
hosting the Buffalo Bills. You must lose that football game.
You had the number one draft pick and I think
there's no way you could lose it unless you win
that game.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And so you can win by losing, correct, you can
win big by losing.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
I think you can also lose and still win. Correct,
after all these years.
Speaker 13 (12:03):
You can lose and still win in the.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
End, and lose in the NFL and still win. The
Patriots are three and thirteen have won six lost six
in a row.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Right on cue, So.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wait mate, you can lose and still win. You can
win and still lose.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
The New York Giants and the Raiders have won and
still lost the past few weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The Bills are favored by two and a half, two
and a half, two and a half. Most must win
game of the weekend, I'd say the Steelers. I think
Steelers is kind of a tricky situation there because the
(12:44):
Ravens are favored by twenty Yes, tod, I.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
Think for an also round, even if it's not the
most because they're pretty much off the board from the ones.
You guys picked Chicago at Green Bay. All the attention
going to the Lions and Vikings on that Sunday night
game that they need to dominate the Bears, Lambeau and
feel good going into the wild card round, that they're
the team to be reckoned with in the.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Nfstein anything Ryan in Michigan? Hi Ryan, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I was just calling because I just don't understand why
Jared Goff is not an MVP conversation. He's got pretty
comparable stats of Joe Burrow, and if you take him
off this Lions team, there's nothing without him. I mean, yes,
he's got a great on line, he's got some weapons,
but this guy's been playing whites out. I'm so glad
that we have him. And yeah, I just want to
(13:33):
know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, I could say, how abound we put Joe Burrow
on the Lions.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
That's the greatest offense there's ever been.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Jared Goff has played well. Sam Darnold has played well.
I don't I don't have any problem, like, how many
MVP candidates do you want to have, say Kwan Barklay,
Josh Allen, Mark Jackson, Jared Goff, Sam Darnald, Joe Burrow.
How many MVP candidates do you want to have? You
(14:06):
want to have five? Do you want to have ten?
I don't care. Sure, I have no problem with it.
Or if you just want to say, hey should be
in the consideration as an MVP candidate, Okay, I'm fine
with that. It's Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. That's it.
You can have other candidates if you want to, and
(14:26):
I don't have any problems. What Sam Darnald did surprise
to everybody. I think Josh Allen benefited from a bad division,
but he also surprised me at how he had a
window of I think five games that was bordering on historical.
And if you watch them play, you're like, who's that
(14:47):
guy or who's that guy? You know, Cook's a good
running back. They got a couple of tight ends there.
Coleman's good or has the potential, But I don't think
you look at them and look, you know, say, well,
that's like the Lions of the Bengals when it comes
to offense.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, Paul, interesting story. Can Sam Darnald win comeback Player.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Of the Year? Well, what's he coming back from? Right?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Based off the old rules, the pre Joe Flacco rules,
you had to come back from something like injury, whatever.
And because of the can you come back from humiliation
from being average?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Can you come back from being benched? I just saw
this story. Though the associated this can't be right. The
AP confirms that Sam Darnald Comeback Player of the Year
award votes won't be rejected. They'll accept them, which is
in the face of the rule.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Interesting, Okay, I wouldn't look at him as a comeback
Player of the Year. But if Joe Flacco came back
from his couch, then oh then they change the rule
because of that. Like Deamar Hamlin nearly died, but Joe
Flacco came back from you know, sitting on account chance.
Speaker 13 (16:02):
I don't think we can set the bar at did
you die or not?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I don't.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
I don't think that that's fair.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
No, what I'm saying is he lost the comeback Player
of the year. What are you even coming back from
a bad season? He died.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
I don't know that that's the I don't think we can.
But in that situation, though, the guy who do you
truly did, Joe Flacco is more deserved. He came back
like he truly came back from the dead. He couldn't
he couldn't play. Nobody wanted him to play, and he
had to play and he did well.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Only one other person came back, and that's j C.
Jamar Hamlin came back.
Speaker 13 (16:44):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I mean you gotta give him the d I mean
comeback Player of the Year. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
The new AP rule for comeback Player of the Year.
Quote a player has demonstrated resilience in the face of
adversity by overcoming illness, physical injury, or other.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Or Okay, but let's not discount the importance of or other.
What is the or other with Sam Darnold not being
very good?
Speaker 10 (17:11):
Okay, yes, I think or other could be someone who
has written off by most and all of a sudden, Wow,
look at that, that's the or other.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
All right, let's take a break. Big Mike Gullick will
join us. Coming up next, Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
He's fallen in love with Sam Darnald. You've got a
crush on Sam Donald. You want him to get paid.
Now you're promoting him for Comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
War which he's somewhat not eligible for.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well, no, the criteria is there that you can vote
for Sam Donald for Comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, the AP put out criteria that guidance for their
voters that it's someone who came back from an illness
or an injury or of something of that or other.
Speaker 13 (18:59):
But it's not a hard rule.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
So if you're an AP voter and you want to
vote for Sam Darnold, you're not supposed to, but you can.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Okay, he's Mike Golick, co host of Gojo and Golick
on DraftKings Network, and of course Uh, former stalwart with
the mother Ship, joining us on the program, Big Mike, Uh, Sam,
Sam Darnold, Let's start with Sam Donald. Uh. Listen, come
Back Claire of the Year.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I am.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
I'm calling the Detroit, Minnesota game for Westwood one Sunday,
and the first thing I'm gonna do when I go
on the field before the game is apologized to Sam
because a few weeks ago I had talked on my
son and I show that you know, is he going
to fall to the you know level he had been
or is he going to keep going? I was kind
of questioning it, and he's been nothing but money. He
(19:48):
has been absolute money. But no, he's not winning Comeback
Player of the Year. That that that's for illness, that's
for injury. That should be stated. I know there's the
other part that you just mentioned in the in the rule,
but I think comeback player is for an injury or
an illness.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
What do you do if you're the Vikings. I don't
know if you bring this up during the broadcast, but
you know there are they in a good situation because
you have this decision that you might have to make
with Darnold and JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh yeah, it's a it's a great situation.
Speaker 14 (20:19):
I mean, listen, we've seen Green Bay do it twice
where they drafted a guy high and he sat for
three or so years, and in Aaron Rodgers and Jordan
love So and JJ's coming off of a need. Listen,
you you got to strike while the iron's hot. Now
the issue will be what deals does he get offered
from other teams? Are they huge money deals? Can you
(20:43):
get away with a Baker Mayfield type of deal for
Sam a three year, one hundred million, fifty MILLI guaranteed
it would probably be more than that instead of a
fifty million dollars a year, which I'm not sure someone
will give, but they might get close to that. And
that this guy has kind of recaptured that that first
(21:03):
round thought. But if I'm Minnesota, I definitely try and
hang on to him and I run it to its course.
I mean, if JJ sits he sits. I mean you
have a proven guy, a guy who's proving it on
the field as opposed to an unproven rookie who's coming
off of the knee.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, I would probably franchise him. And I agree with you.
We brought this up years ago that the agents had
to come up with a middle ground here. It was
not we got to get sixty million or fifty five million,
like you had to be smart, and Baker Mayfield's agent
was smart. You're getting paid, you're playing well, You're going
to be in the playoffs. He'll get commercial endorsement like it.
(21:40):
I just don't want Sam to price himself out of
a great situation that he has with the Vikings.
Speaker 14 (21:46):
I think what Sam, and it seems Sam's a smart person.
He also realizes what he has with Minnesota and if
you get offered now again there's a lot of money
and a little money depending on your preference of what
you get offered.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But what he has with Kevin O'Connell, make no mistake
about it.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
Kevin O'Connell call him plays and the offense that he
has is definitely helping to his success. While he's playing great,
there are other factors involved and Kevin O'Connell is one
of them, So you have to think, do I go
to take more money and go to a lesser coach
and lesser offense.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, and this isn't a quarterback heavy draft as well,
so you know, I mean, this is the right place
at the right time. Unless Sam Donald. If they would
lose Sunday night and they go on the road and
they play Tampa and they bow out or play the
Rams and bow out, I wonder if that would have
any impact on Sam Donald's future.
Speaker 14 (22:40):
Well, I think it'll be on how Sam plays. Right
right now, the offense is humming the defense, while the
defense is fourth worse than giving up pass yards, are
fourth best in giving up points, and that's the most
important thing, how many points that you give up. So
I think it would depend on how he plays, even
if they were to bow out early.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'm looking at the Lions. The pressure on the Lions
to win, to be the number one seed, to get
a bye week and have home field advantage and the
better chance to extend your season and then get some
of these injured players back. When you're doing a game
like can you ask these questions of Dan Campbell or
somebody with the Lions when you're doing the broadcast where
(23:21):
they'll give you a little more information.
Speaker 14 (23:24):
Sure, you could ask, but they're not really gonna give
quite honestly. I mean they're going to talk around it,
and I think one of the most important players. Quite honestly,
I'm concerned more for the defenses, especially Detroit's defense in
these games. Both these offenses are high profile offenses, but
the defense is the injuries Detroit has had. Now they
(23:45):
have Alexanzeloni that the linebacker broke us forearm, miss the
last six games. He's in the twenty one day window
to come back, and he's practicing this week. But the
thought is Dan Campbell said it was an eight week
injury and it'll be seven weeks this Sunday. So do
you bring him back early because they need him, especially
in defensive pass coverage. They need him, But do you
(24:08):
risk him re injuring it and being out for the
playoffs or just trying to get the job done without
him and still get the number one seed. But if
you get the number five seed, at least you're still
in the playoffs and he has another week to rest
his forum. Those are kind of the decisions that they
have to make.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
He's my Goliic, co host of Gojo and Golick on
DraftKings Network. You're a Notre Dame fighting Irish last night.
Let's look at like a bigger picture here with the
nil transfer portal where Georgia wasn't Georgia like they had
been before. Alabama is not Alabama, Clemson is not Clemson.
(24:44):
And I don't know if this is a one off
MIC or is it because maybe the playing field is
leveling and talent is dispersed and you're not stockpiling three
running backs at Georgia or you know, five defensive lineman
at Alabama. Is this a one off? Or do you
(25:04):
think we're peeking into the future.
Speaker 14 (25:06):
No, I think we're peeking into the future for guys
that are sitting. I mean Gunner Stockton, the backup quarterback,
is a rarity. He's with the program for three years,
right and kind of was waiting his turn. Normally you
don't see that, you see a guy transfer. So no,
I think this is kind of the new era of
college football. We saw the portal opened a few Mondays
(25:27):
ago and within a week there was over two thousand
players in the portal. So this is the new college football.
It's just a matter how much you want to use it,
like Dabosweeney has not used it a lot. Marcus Freeman
said Notre Dame will always minor in transfers. They won't
major in transfers like they were already talking about next year.
They won't go to a transfer quarterback. They had Sam
(25:49):
Hartman now Riley Leonard, but now they'll use one of
their younger quarterbacks. At least that's what they said. We'll
see if they stay with it. But overall, I do
think we had forty three different starting quarterbacks in FBS
through the portal last year and I think that's going
to continue.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
See Notre Dame has figured it out. Though they bring
in Sam Hartman, they bring in Riley Leonard. That seems
to be the round to go instead of saying, now
I'm going to raise an eighteen year old here.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It does. But I think they have CJ.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
Carr, who they really really like, and it seems like
they're going to give him a chance.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Now.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
That's not to say if there's a quarterback that they
think fits their system that pops up in the portal
that they won't still go for, because you know what,
the way it is now with the portal, you're playing
year to year, You're not playing for three years down
the road.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Is Notre Dame likable suddenly?
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Well, I think Marcus Freeman is likable, and I think
that makes Notre Dame likable. He's the face of the program.
Brian Kelly was this kind of this gruff guy who
changed kind of his added wood halfway through when when
people were tired of him turning purple on the sideline
and yelling and it seemed like he was always yelling
or mad. And Marcus Freeman is young, he's good looking,
(27:10):
he's a great recruiter. Players love him, So I think
people start to like because there's a listen. There's always
people that are gonna hate Notre Dame. But I do
think that he brings up the the the rating, the
Q ratings on Notre Dame because of Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But the fan base. When Brian Kelly left because he
wanted to try to win national titles at LSU, was
there an outcry of you know, how dare you leave Notre.
Speaker 14 (27:41):
They were they were surprised that a coach left Notre Dame,
because normally a coach would leave Notre Dame by retiring
or being fired, never left voluntarily, so I think they
were they didn't really miss a beat. They didn't really
miss Brian Kelly, even though Brian Kelly's the winning his
coach in Notre Dame history. You know, beat out New Rockney.
I mean, so that's something. There's something to be said
(28:03):
for that. But no, they really didn't. Didn't really bad
an eye that he left. They were a little disgruntled
that he chose to leave, and now it's kind of
biting him. I mean, he left thinking he'd had better
opportunity at LSU, and here's a Notre Dame in the semi.
So yeah, there wasn't there wasn't too much. Too much
Oh no, what are we going to do now when
he left?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Who's the best team left in the final four?
Speaker 10 (28:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I mean the way Ohio State's playing.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
If Ohio State plays the way they play against Tennessee,
UH and Oregon, I don't know who's going to beat them.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I mean it makes you go back to the Michigan game, like,
how do you get that's coaching to me? That your
game plan you can accidentally score three touchdowns with that offense.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
It is stunning.
Speaker 14 (28:48):
Now, Michigan always has a very, very tough defense. I'll
give them that, but they don't really have an offense.
They rely on the running game so much. That was
a stunning, stunning loss and really put Ryan Day's head
on the chopping block. But he is more than making
up for it. I mean, they're not just winning, they're
(29:09):
blowing teams out. They're so explosive on offense, they're so
stifling on defense. So they're playing the best right now.
I think it'll be Notre Dame and Ohio State in
the title game, which would be interesting for Marcus Freeman
since that's where he went to school.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, is Ryan Days? Is he still on the hot
seat if he loses this game?
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Man?
Speaker 14 (29:32):
Dan That that is a great question because it's weighed
so heavily losing to Michigan. Then it's like, Okay, you
lost to Michigan, but hey, we'll take a national title
over overbeating over losing to Michigan. But if you fall
short of that, I think he's safe. I think the
two blowout wins saved his job, if it truly it
(29:54):
was in the If he had lost the first game,
I think there certainly would have been some cries for it,
but I think he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
But if we didn't have this expanded playoff format, Ryan Day,
is he still coaching Ohio State?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Probably not because they don't make the final four?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
And I would if they don't.
Speaker 14 (30:14):
If they didn't make the final four and lost to
Michigan for a fourth raight year, I would say he'd
be gone because so much is put on that. But
now that it is expanded and he has a chance
to make up for which he is in spades, I
think it'll save his job.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Good to chat with you again. Thank you, Mike, you
got it.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's big Mike Golig And he's the co host of
Gojo and Golick on DraftKings Network. Sneaking a Phone Caller
two and let's start with Jonathan in New Orleans. Hey Jonathan,
Hey Dan, how'll be going to turn good?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Second?
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Tom long com thanks for taking my callsh to My
nine year old son is in the other room watching
on Peacock and it's excited to see here the call,
but too shy to come say hello. But anyway, those calling,
I've read two books from authors you've had on the show.
It takes What It Takes by Trevor Moad in The
System Jeff Benedict both amazing reads. And I'm just curious
(31:10):
if you knew of any books out there being written
or currently available discussing the current NIL landscape that are
similar in contact to the fourmentioned books.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I have not, Jonathan, I don't know if there's a
big market for that. You know, we talk NIL, but
I don't know unless there's gory details there of you
know that that's what I would want to read. But
it's changing so fast, so you could start to write
something NIL by the time you publish it, it might
(31:42):
be obsoleep.
Speaker 12 (31:43):
Yes, Mark, I'm currently reading that book, The System by
Jeff benedictt Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It is so good.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
It goes into detail about every aspect that makes college
football run, from the hostesses, you know, the co eds
that host him, to Mac Brown's right hand man, to
the boosters. He goes into great detail about every single
aspect that makes college football run.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Some of the stories about the hostesses like yes, and
he goes into it yes yeah, like yeah, pull.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
There was a book years ago called The Courting of
Marcus Dupree, this famous high school running back Mississippi and
it talks about all the recruiting stories, Billy Simms coming
to his high school. That's a classic college football book.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean, there's so much that went on. And I'd
mentioned this before. Somebody I knew actually played against I
went to Kentucky and knew nothing about horse racing. They
went to the track and went with a booster, and
he just said, what's your favorite numbers? And he told
him his favorite numbers. And all I know is this
(32:48):
guy came back over the summer with a Mercedes Benz,
a two seater, and we were like, many treating you well.
He said, yeah, I went to the to the race track.
I'm like, all right, I didn't know you knew anything
about horse raising. Go I I don't. I don't know
anything you said. I just had favorite numbers. Let's take
(33:09):
a break. If you're watching on Peacock, we'll go out
to the Tregger Girls. Last call for phone calls. What
we learn, what's in store tomorrow or I should say Monday.

Speaker 9 (37:00):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
In nineteen forty one, the NCAA made rules that you
could sub freely in college Footballneenix.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Notre Dame did that last night against Georgia. Yes you are.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Nineteen sixty two, work began on the Houston Astrodome, and
in nineteen eighty three, twenty door set of the Cowboys
made the longest run in scrimmage in NFL history, ninety
nine yards. The Cowboys only had ten men on the field.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
On this date, two thousand and three. We were on
the sidelines watching this one. Ohio State upsets Miami double
overtime to win the National championship in the Fiesta Bowl
on the State Oh seven. Nick Saban resigned as the
head coach of the Dolphins to become the head coach
at Alabama. I think he said he wasn't going anywhere, right,
(37:46):
and then he was. Let's see nineteen twenty the Curse
of the Bambino. They sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees
one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in cash, and
not to forget the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars loan,
and that launched the eighty four year Curse of the Bambino.
(38:07):
Fund of results of the Pole question see no connor.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
Oh man, we had a couple of doozies up there today.
Let's see who are you rooting for to win the
college football playoff right now? Notre Dame's got about thirty
nine percent of that vote. And are the four best
teams in college football playing in the semifinals right now?
Speaker 13 (38:27):
Fifty eight percent of the audiences? Yes, yes they are.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Kevin in Oregon, Hi, Kevin, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah? I'm the guy called in a told you that
I lost my patient. I'm the surgeon. Anyway, I was
told I'm talking about Notre Dame. I was told you
do a spot on imitation of lou holes.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
They put the pea shown shame way we do.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
That's what I want.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
So Kevin is the surgeon who said that he wanted
to go out and tell a family that they, you know,
he lost their he lost his patient and they they
would have reacted like he died. And he was like, no, no,
I can't find him. I don't know where he is.
He's walking around.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Got the room number that we put him.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yeah, And then I said, oh my god, you could
never do that to a family. So that was that
was Kevin. Sense you humor, doc and Laguna beach I doc.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Hey, DP, Happy New Year. I hate starting in New
Year with us. Stay in a lane and stay in
your lane. But I have to reference my biblical mentor
that's going to come back into town from Austria tomorrow
and that would be Shane Irving. But you said Denny
Hamlin and JC were only two races from the dead,
but that Shane Irving will confirm that there was actually
twelve race in the dead in the Bible.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Oh okay, I want to ask Shay about the other
people who came back from the dead. I mean, I
was just talking to NFL players. I think I've come back.
DeMar Hemley Shayan. Irving is in Vienna, by the way,
for the holidays.
Speaker 13 (40:01):
Getting cured off the wild turkey or is he I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Is that a family vacation. Yeah. I talked to him
yesterday and he said him and the roommate are getting
along a lot better. And uh, but he's going to
be coming home from Vienna.
Speaker 13 (40:13):
They had to go to Neutral Territory.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, pretty much. He's part of the Gambling podcast, available

the back room, guys, I'm Dan Patrick.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Friday, it's a meat Friday. I
of course in the head of quality control. I went
out to check out the Tariaki chicken stir fry and
it is delish. We also have spring rolls. Who has
it better than we do?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No body?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Sunday Night, Nobody has it better than we do. And
NBC and Peacock Kings of the North, Sam Darnold and
the Vikings against Jared Goff and the Lions. It's the
final game of the regular season and what's up for
grabs number one seed in the NFC. The loser will
be the fifth seed with fourteen wins on the road
opening round to the playoffs. Sunday seven Eastern on NBC
(00:41):
in Peacock. And if you talk about a must win situation,
this is and we'll do the must win game of
the weekend coming up. But if I look at the Lions,
I have to take them off the board for the
following reason. They have to win this game for a
variety of reasons. You want to have the number one
overall seed, you have the home field advantage, so they
need to continue to win. So there is the possibility
(01:04):
that Aiden Hutchinson will be able to play. The longer
they go, the more opportunity for these players. And it's
not just him, there's a couple other players. They're trying
to get back for the postseason. They must win this
game this weekend. They got to get to the NFC
Title Game, and if they do, chances are they would
(01:25):
have Aiden Hutchinson back for the Super Bowl. But when
you talk about most must win, I know there's other
scenarios here, but that would probably be front and center
for me because it's not just home field advantage. It's
also sending the Vikings on the road, and it's also
maybe going to extend the opportunity to be able to
(01:47):
extend your postseason because you'll have home field advantage. All right,
Final hour phone calls are welcome, Seaton. You'll have the
poll question for the final hour. Tyler sitting by to
take your phone calls. Eight seven to seven, three DP show.
Good morning, those watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading
the app and our radio affiliates around the country over
four hundred cities that carry this program. Well have rime
(02:08):
time with Fritzy. Most must Win Game of the weekend
coming up. Big Mike Gullick will also stop by as well.
It was a great night for Notre Dame. This is
one of those games that, now, this isn't a great
Georgia team, but it's a dangerous Georgia team. And I
thought that Notre Dame looked like an SEC team, or
at least an older, old school SEC. You know, they
(02:31):
were able to control the ball, they were physical, they
had speed, all the things, you know. And I go
back to I was at the national title game with
Ohio State in Florida, and I remember it was just different.
You just watched what the SEC was all about, and
it was speed. And I thought, there is a big
(02:52):
difference between the SEC and everybody else. There's not that
big of a difference anymore. Dan Wilton, who writes for
USA Today, he has an article that starts out by
saying SEC and its dear leader should accept reality. The
league no longer rules college football. Goes on to write
(03:13):
the time has come for SEC fans, its media machine,
and especially its commissioner to fess up to the reality
that it has simmered under the surface this entire college
football season. The world has changed significantly and the old
reliable narrative that there is a different quality of football
in the SEC than other leagues is now more of
(03:36):
a myth than a reality. It goes on to write
how you can't stockpile players nil transfer portal. That's changed everything,
and he ends up by saying that they should not
be entitled, that we wont all these championships under a
completely different set of rules. So you must kneel to
us now that Bologney that comes far too naturally for
(04:01):
people all over that league. It's time for a new act.
It's time to be honest, it's time to face facts.
You're just like everyone else now, Yes, Paully, I.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Like to pump the brakes on that article. One off
year for the SEC does not deny the past twenty years.
They stir the drink of college football. They will in
the off season, Greg Sanki make maneuvers to alter the
rules of the college football playoffs to be more friendly
to them. One off year does not mean falling off
a cliff. It's like a basketball player in his prime
(04:33):
has an off year and they say, well that's it,
Tom Brady's falling off a cliff, or Lebron James, the
SEC is going to be fine and they are going
to keep running.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Things, but there's only so much amount of money you
can spend on an io and other schools are promising
your opportunity to play right away. If you're a quarterback,
you want to play. If you're transferring, you want to
play now. You're not going to be third on the
depth chart waiting for your turn at Alabama. It's just
not going to happen. And you even saw this with
(05:03):
Georgia last night. Georgia should have five running backs ready
to go, and maybe they do, but they didn't have
a running game last night. I mean, Sony Michelle and
Nick Chubb, Like, this is Georgia. You got to have
a running back. They had no running game. Now you're
still spending money on the offensive and defensive line, but
(05:24):
it just feels like these other schools can pony up
money and it can be an attractive place to go
because you can play right away. I think that's the
difference is maybe they're not going to be as great
as they once were, but you're going to have teams
that maybe you didn't factor in, like SMU or Indiana,
(05:44):
Arizona State, Boise State, that they can come up and
they can play with you. It's only one game. That's
all you're asking for. They wanted an opportunity. Now they lost,
but they got an opportunity and Arizona State took Tech
to the mat double overtime. That's what you want. Now
you have more teams that can make the playoff. It's
(06:06):
not making a bowl game, it's making the playoffs. So
now when you spend, you're spending with a goal that
can be lucrative because if you win or you continue
to win and that amount of money, like Notre Dame
doesn't have to share the money. They had fourteen million
dollars they made last night and then they got this
(06:29):
next game. So that's where you know, the business of
college football is allowing you to be able to compete
and if you win your conference and college football will change,
it'll continue to change. But this is why when you
see what's going on now, transfer portal. I can get
that quarterback who played with that team, quin Ewers is
(06:52):
going to play for somebody next year. Imagine if quinn
Ewers goes to Notre Dame or Oregon, six million dollars
probably gonna cost you got your quarterback. So that's what's
going on. Notre Dame, Sam Hartman, Riley Leonard, come on in,
(07:13):
play a year, see you later. That's what college football
has become. You know, it's not this. Hey, You've earned
your time. Your time is now. You come in, you play.
If you don't play, you're thinking about transferring or I
might transfer. How much you're gonna pay me to stay?
(07:34):
This is what's going on, and it'll continue until they're
able to put, you know, a seatbelt on this. And
believe me, they're working on this. They are like, how
did this happen?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Kind of like you walk in and you left your
teenagers alone for the weekend to have a party, and
you're like, what happened? You left us alone? We decided
to have a party. Mom satur The Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the
Dan Patrick Show. Donovan in Iowa, Hi Donovan, what's on
(08:11):
you on today?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Six two one fifty lanky?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Youre talking some dude earlier about Riley Leonard's Notre Dame
quarterback and how he can't be Taysom Hill because.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
He's too small.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, Riley Leonard's six four two inches taller than Taysom
Hill in the same weight. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I feel like he could be.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Way better, uh if he wanted to. I don't say
there there.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know, Riley Leonard is is lanky. Taysom Hill is jacked, Okay,
and he was like that in college. Riley Leonard's good athlete.
I told you, you know, he was recruited to play
college basketball. He's a perfect college quarterback. But Taysom Hill
is different. There's no there's no other Taysom Hill in
the NFL. And Riley Leonard is not playing running back. Okay,
(09:08):
maybe gets a chance playing quarterback.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean, I've just I've watched him. He's athletic, you know,
watched him before he transferred, so I was aware of
him and he found a great place. But he's not
Taysom Hill. How about the most must win game of
the weekend. I can't wait any longer. Okay, Lions are
off the board. Okay, because if you factor this in
(09:33):
the Lions the most must win, you get the bye week,
and then you have eighteen players on the IR Thirteen
of the eighteen players for the Lions on the ir
defensive players. They're gonna have to outscore everybody like they're
They can't just score twenty one points in win a game.
(09:54):
They can't. I'd be shocked if they do. All right, Todd,
the most must win game of the.
Speaker 10 (09:59):
Weekend, Shockingly, I'm gonna go with at Mile High Stadium,
the Broncos must be Carson Wentz and the second tier
Chiefs and finally grab.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You, you know what, I'm taking the Broncos off the
board for you.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
Are you real?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, that's obvious.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
Then I'm gonna go for a must win for.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I'll come back to Okay, Yeah, I'll come back to Seaton.
Most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 11 (10:23):
I think if this is a must win weekend for Russell.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Wilson, Russell Wilson's future.
Speaker 11 (10:30):
I think Russell Wilson if he beats the Bengals, which
I think knocks them out of the playoffs, right yeah,
I think if he's able to do that, he can
count on having a job in Pittsburgh next year. I'm
not sure if he doesn't. Though Bengals favored by two
by two, I think he wins that game. You can
count on him coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
All right, Marvin most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 12 (10:54):
Ironically, I have the Cincinnati Bengals if they can get in.
Have a couple teams lose. That's a team you do
not want to see in the playoffs, like legit.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You don't want to see, you do not they can
get to the super.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Bowl, Yeah, they can't get to the super Bowl. Part
of the FI yeah, Pie of the Faith. They they
don't have a defense.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They got Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
They have Joe Burrow, and they have Jamar Chase and
they have t Higgins, Paulie. The most must win game
of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Is my mmwg ot W is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
favored by fourteen against the Saints. The NFC is wide
open and they are very threatening if they get there.
I'm gonna give you a bonus. Most must lose game
of the weekend. This is new the New England Patriots
(11:45):
hosting the Buffalo Bills. You must lose that football game.
You had the number one draft pick and I think
there's no way you could lose it unless you win
that game.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And so you can win by losing, correct, you can
win big by losing.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
I think you can also lose and still win. Correct,
after all these years.
Speaker 13 (12:03):
You can lose and still win in the.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
End, and lose in the NFL and still win. The
Patriots are three and thirteen have won six lost six
in a row.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Right on cue, So.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wait mate, you can lose and still win. You can
win and still lose.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
The New York Giants and the Raiders have won and
still lost the past few weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The Bills are favored by two and a half, two
and a half, two and a half. Most must win
game of the weekend, I'd say the Steelers. I think
Steelers is kind of a tricky situation there because the
(12:44):
Ravens are favored by twenty Yes, tod, I.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
Think for an also round, even if it's not the
most because they're pretty much off the board from the ones.
You guys picked Chicago at Green Bay. All the attention
going to the Lions and Vikings on that Sunday night
game that they need to dominate the Bears, Lambeau and
feel good going into the wild card round, that they're
the team to be reckoned with in the.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Nfstein anything Ryan in Michigan? Hi Ryan, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I was just calling because I just don't understand why
Jared Goff is not an MVP conversation. He's got pretty
comparable stats of Joe Burrow, and if you take him
off this Lions team, there's nothing without him. I mean, yes,
he's got a great on line, he's got some weapons,
but this guy's been playing whites out. I'm so glad
that we have him. And yeah, I just want to
(13:33):
know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, I could say, how abound we put Joe Burrow
on the Lions.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
That's the greatest offense there's ever been.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Jared Goff has played well. Sam Darnold has played well.
I don't I don't have any problem, like, how many
MVP candidates do you want to have, say Kwan Barklay,
Josh Allen, Mark Jackson, Jared Goff, Sam Darnald, Joe Burrow.
How many MVP candidates do you want to have? You
(14:06):
want to have five? Do you want to have ten?
I don't care. Sure, I have no problem with it.
Or if you just want to say, hey should be
in the consideration as an MVP candidate, Okay, I'm fine
with that. It's Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. That's it.
You can have other candidates if you want to, and
(14:26):
I don't have any problems. What Sam Darnald did surprise
to everybody. I think Josh Allen benefited from a bad division,
but he also surprised me at how he had a
window of I think five games that was bordering on historical.
And if you watch them play, you're like, who's that
(14:47):
guy or who's that guy? You know, Cook's a good
running back. They got a couple of tight ends there.
Coleman's good or has the potential, But I don't think
you look at them and look, you know, say, well,
that's like the Lions of the Bengals when it comes
to offense.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, Paul, interesting story. Can Sam Darnald win comeback Player.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Of the Year? Well, what's he coming back from? Right?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Based off the old rules, the pre Joe Flacco rules,
you had to come back from something like injury, whatever.
And because of the can you come back from humiliation
from being average?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Can you come back from being benched? I just saw
this story. Though the associated this can't be right. The
AP confirms that Sam Darnald Comeback Player of the Year
award votes won't be rejected. They'll accept them, which is
in the face of the rule.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Interesting, Okay, I wouldn't look at him as a comeback
Player of the Year. But if Joe Flacco came back
from his couch, then oh then they change the rule
because of that. Like Deamar Hamlin nearly died, but Joe
Flacco came back from you know, sitting on account chance.
Speaker 13 (16:02):
I don't think we can set the bar at did
you die or not?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I don't.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
I don't think that that's fair.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
No, what I'm saying is he lost the comeback Player
of the year. What are you even coming back from
a bad season? He died.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
I don't know that that's the I don't think we can.
But in that situation, though, the guy who do you
truly did, Joe Flacco is more deserved. He came back
like he truly came back from the dead. He couldn't
he couldn't play. Nobody wanted him to play, and he
had to play and he did well.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Only one other person came back, and that's j C.
Jamar Hamlin came back.
Speaker 13 (16:44):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I mean you gotta give him the d I mean
comeback Player of the Year. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
The new AP rule for comeback Player of the Year.
Quote a player has demonstrated resilience in the face of
adversity by overcoming illness, physical injury, or other.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Or Okay, but let's not discount the importance of or other.
What is the or other with Sam Darnold not being
very good?
Speaker 10 (17:11):
Okay, yes, I think or other could be someone who
has written off by most and all of a sudden, Wow,
look at that, that's the or other.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
All right, let's take a break. Big Mike Gullick will
join us. Coming up next, Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
He's fallen in love with Sam Darnald. You've got a
crush on Sam Donald. You want him to get paid.
Now you're promoting him for Comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
War which he's somewhat not eligible for.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well, no, the criteria is there that you can vote
for Sam Donald for Comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, the AP put out criteria that guidance for their
voters that it's someone who came back from an illness
or an injury or of something of that or other.
Speaker 13 (18:59):
But it's not a hard rule.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
So if you're an AP voter and you want to
vote for Sam Darnold, you're not supposed to, but you can.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Okay, he's Mike Golick, co host of Gojo and Golick
on DraftKings Network, and of course Uh, former stalwart with
the mother Ship, joining us on the program, Big Mike, Uh, Sam,
Sam Darnold, Let's start with Sam Donald. Uh. Listen, come
Back Claire of the Year.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I am.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
I'm calling the Detroit, Minnesota game for Westwood one Sunday,
and the first thing I'm gonna do when I go
on the field before the game is apologized to Sam
because a few weeks ago I had talked on my
son and I show that you know, is he going
to fall to the you know level he had been
or is he going to keep going? I was kind
of questioning it, and he's been nothing but money. He
(19:48):
has been absolute money. But no, he's not winning Comeback
Player of the Year. That that that's for illness, that's
for injury. That should be stated. I know there's the
other part that you just mentioned in the in the rule,
but I think comeback player is for an injury or
an illness.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
What do you do if you're the Vikings. I don't
know if you bring this up during the broadcast, but
you know there are they in a good situation because
you have this decision that you might have to make
with Darnold and JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh yeah, it's a it's a great situation.
Speaker 14 (20:19):
I mean, listen, we've seen Green Bay do it twice
where they drafted a guy high and he sat for
three or so years, and in Aaron Rodgers and Jordan
love So and JJ's coming off of a need. Listen,
you you got to strike while the iron's hot. Now
the issue will be what deals does he get offered
from other teams? Are they huge money deals? Can you
(20:43):
get away with a Baker Mayfield type of deal for
Sam a three year, one hundred million, fifty MILLI guaranteed
it would probably be more than that instead of a
fifty million dollars a year, which I'm not sure someone
will give, but they might get close to that. And
that this guy has kind of recaptured that that first
(21:03):
round thought. But if I'm Minnesota, I definitely try and
hang on to him and I run it to its course.
I mean, if JJ sits he sits. I mean you
have a proven guy, a guy who's proving it on
the field as opposed to an unproven rookie who's coming
off of the knee.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, I would probably franchise him. And I agree with you.
We brought this up years ago that the agents had
to come up with a middle ground here. It was
not we got to get sixty million or fifty five million,
like you had to be smart, and Baker Mayfield's agent
was smart. You're getting paid, you're playing well, You're going
to be in the playoffs. He'll get commercial endorsement like it.
(21:40):
I just don't want Sam to price himself out of
a great situation that he has with the Vikings.
Speaker 14 (21:46):
I think what Sam, and it seems Sam's a smart person.
He also realizes what he has with Minnesota and if
you get offered now again there's a lot of money
and a little money depending on your preference of what
you get offered.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But what he has with Kevin O'Connell, make no mistake
about it.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
Kevin O'Connell call him plays and the offense that he
has is definitely helping to his success. While he's playing great,
there are other factors involved and Kevin O'Connell is one
of them, So you have to think, do I go
to take more money and go to a lesser coach
and lesser offense.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, and this isn't a quarterback heavy draft as well,
so you know, I mean, this is the right place
at the right time. Unless Sam Donald. If they would
lose Sunday night and they go on the road and
they play Tampa and they bow out or play the
Rams and bow out, I wonder if that would have
any impact on Sam Donald's future.
Speaker 14 (22:40):
Well, I think it'll be on how Sam plays. Right
right now, the offense is humming the defense, while the
defense is fourth worse than giving up pass yards, are
fourth best in giving up points, and that's the most
important thing, how many points that you give up. So
I think it would depend on how he plays, even
if they were to bow out early.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'm looking at the Lions. The pressure on the Lions
to win, to be the number one seed, to get
a bye week and have home field advantage and the
better chance to extend your season and then get some
of these injured players back. When you're doing a game
like can you ask these questions of Dan Campbell or
somebody with the Lions when you're doing the broadcast where
(23:21):
they'll give you a little more information.
Speaker 14 (23:24):
Sure, you could ask, but they're not really gonna give
quite honestly. I mean they're going to talk around it,
and I think one of the most important players. Quite honestly,
I'm concerned more for the defenses, especially Detroit's defense in
these games. Both these offenses are high profile offenses, but
the defense is the injuries Detroit has had. Now they
(23:45):
have Alexanzeloni that the linebacker broke us forearm, miss the
last six games. He's in the twenty one day window
to come back, and he's practicing this week. But the
thought is Dan Campbell said it was an eight week
injury and it'll be seven weeks this Sunday. So do
you bring him back early because they need him, especially
in defensive pass coverage. They need him, But do you
(24:08):
risk him re injuring it and being out for the
playoffs or just trying to get the job done without
him and still get the number one seed. But if
you get the number five seed, at least you're still
in the playoffs and he has another week to rest
his forum. Those are kind of the decisions that they
have to make.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
He's my Goliic, co host of Gojo and Golick on
DraftKings Network. You're a Notre Dame fighting Irish last night.
Let's look at like a bigger picture here with the
nil transfer portal where Georgia wasn't Georgia like they had
been before. Alabama is not Alabama, Clemson is not Clemson.
(24:44):
And I don't know if this is a one off
MIC or is it because maybe the playing field is
leveling and talent is dispersed and you're not stockpiling three
running backs at Georgia or you know, five defensive lineman
at Alabama. Is this a one off? Or do you
(25:04):
think we're peeking into the future.
Speaker 14 (25:06):
No, I think we're peeking into the future for guys
that are sitting. I mean Gunner Stockton, the backup quarterback,
is a rarity. He's with the program for three years,
right and kind of was waiting his turn. Normally you
don't see that, you see a guy transfer. So no,
I think this is kind of the new era of
college football. We saw the portal opened a few Mondays
(25:27):
ago and within a week there was over two thousand
players in the portal. So this is the new college football.
It's just a matter how much you want to use it,
like Dabosweeney has not used it a lot. Marcus Freeman
said Notre Dame will always minor in transfers. They won't
major in transfers like they were already talking about next year.
They won't go to a transfer quarterback. They had Sam
(25:49):
Hartman now Riley Leonard, but now they'll use one of
their younger quarterbacks. At least that's what they said. We'll
see if they stay with it. But overall, I do
think we had forty three different starting quarterbacks in FBS
through the portal last year and I think that's going
to continue.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
See Notre Dame has figured it out. Though they bring
in Sam Hartman, they bring in Riley Leonard. That seems
to be the round to go instead of saying, now
I'm going to raise an eighteen year old here.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It does. But I think they have CJ.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
Carr, who they really really like, and it seems like
they're going to give him a chance.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Now.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
That's not to say if there's a quarterback that they
think fits their system that pops up in the portal
that they won't still go for, because you know what,
the way it is now with the portal, you're playing
year to year, You're not playing for three years down
the road.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Is Notre Dame likable suddenly?
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Well, I think Marcus Freeman is likable, and I think
that makes Notre Dame likable. He's the face of the program.
Brian Kelly was this kind of this gruff guy who
changed kind of his added wood halfway through when when
people were tired of him turning purple on the sideline
and yelling and it seemed like he was always yelling
or mad. And Marcus Freeman is young, he's good looking,
(27:10):
he's a great recruiter. Players love him, So I think
people start to like because there's a listen. There's always
people that are gonna hate Notre Dame. But I do
think that he brings up the the the rating, the
Q ratings on Notre Dame because of Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But the fan base. When Brian Kelly left because he
wanted to try to win national titles at LSU, was
there an outcry of you know, how dare you leave Notre.
Speaker 14 (27:41):
They were they were surprised that a coach left Notre Dame,
because normally a coach would leave Notre Dame by retiring
or being fired, never left voluntarily, so I think they
were they didn't really miss a beat. They didn't really
miss Brian Kelly, even though Brian Kelly's the winning his
coach in Notre Dame history. You know, beat out New Rockney.
I mean, so that's something. There's something to be said
(28:03):
for that. But no, they really didn't. Didn't really bad
an eye that he left. They were a little disgruntled
that he chose to leave, and now it's kind of
biting him. I mean, he left thinking he'd had better
opportunity at LSU, and here's a Notre Dame in the semi.
So yeah, there wasn't there wasn't too much. Too much
Oh no, what are we going to do now when
he left?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Who's the best team left in the final four?
Speaker 10 (28:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I mean the way Ohio State's playing.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
If Ohio State plays the way they play against Tennessee,
UH and Oregon, I don't know who's going to beat them.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I mean it makes you go back to the Michigan game, like,
how do you get that's coaching to me? That your
game plan you can accidentally score three touchdowns with that offense.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
It is stunning.
Speaker 14 (28:48):
Now, Michigan always has a very, very tough defense. I'll
give them that, but they don't really have an offense.
They rely on the running game so much. That was
a stunning, stunning loss and really put Ryan Day's head
on the chopping block. But he is more than making
up for it. I mean, they're not just winning, they're
(29:09):
blowing teams out. They're so explosive on offense, they're so
stifling on defense. So they're playing the best right now.
I think it'll be Notre Dame and Ohio State in
the title game, which would be interesting for Marcus Freeman
since that's where he went to school.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, is Ryan Days? Is he still on the hot
seat if he loses this game?
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Man?
Speaker 14 (29:32):
Dan That that is a great question because it's weighed
so heavily losing to Michigan. Then it's like, Okay, you
lost to Michigan, but hey, we'll take a national title
over overbeating over losing to Michigan. But if you fall
short of that, I think he's safe. I think the
two blowout wins saved his job, if it truly it
(29:54):
was in the If he had lost the first game,
I think there certainly would have been some cries for it,
but I think he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
But if we didn't have this expanded playoff format, Ryan Day,
is he still coaching Ohio State?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Probably not because they don't make the final four?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
And I would if they don't.
Speaker 14 (30:14):
If they didn't make the final four and lost to
Michigan for a fourth raight year, I would say he'd
be gone because so much is put on that. But
now that it is expanded and he has a chance
to make up for which he is in spades, I
think it'll save his job.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Good to chat with you again. Thank you, Mike, you
got it.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's big Mike Golig And he's the co host of
Gojo and Golick on DraftKings Network. Sneaking a Phone Caller
two and let's start with Jonathan in New Orleans. Hey Jonathan,
Hey Dan, how'll be going to turn good?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Second?
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Tom long com thanks for taking my callsh to My
nine year old son is in the other room watching
on Peacock and it's excited to see here the call,
but too shy to come say hello. But anyway, those calling,
I've read two books from authors you've had on the show.
It takes What It Takes by Trevor Moad in The
System Jeff Benedict both amazing reads. And I'm just curious
(31:10):
if you knew of any books out there being written
or currently available discussing the current NIL landscape that are
similar in contact to the fourmentioned books.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I have not, Jonathan, I don't know if there's a
big market for that. You know, we talk NIL, but
I don't know unless there's gory details there of you
know that that's what I would want to read. But
it's changing so fast, so you could start to write
something NIL by the time you publish it, it might
(31:42):
be obsoleep.
Speaker 12 (31:43):
Yes, Mark, I'm currently reading that book, The System by
Jeff benedictt Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It is so good.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
It goes into detail about every aspect that makes college
football run, from the hostesses, you know, the co eds
that host him, to Mac Brown's right hand man, to
the boosters. He goes into great detail about every single
aspect that makes college football run.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Some of the stories about the hostesses like yes, and
he goes into it yes yeah, like yeah, pull.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
There was a book years ago called The Courting of
Marcus Dupree, this famous high school running back Mississippi and
it talks about all the recruiting stories, Billy Simms coming
to his high school. That's a classic college football book.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean, there's so much that went on. And I'd
mentioned this before. Somebody I knew actually played against I
went to Kentucky and knew nothing about horse racing. They
went to the track and went with a booster, and
he just said, what's your favorite numbers? And he told
him his favorite numbers. And all I know is this
(32:48):
guy came back over the summer with a Mercedes Benz,
a two seater, and we were like, many treating you well.
He said, yeah, I went to the to the race track.
I'm like, all right, I didn't know you knew anything
about horse raising. Go I I don't. I don't know
anything you said. I just had favorite numbers. Let's take
(33:09):
a break. If you're watching on Peacock, we'll go out
to the Tregger Girls. Last call for phone calls. What
we learn, what's in store tomorrow or I should say Monday.
