Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Who has it better than we do? No stat of
the Day has always brought you by Panini America, the
official trading cards of this program. It is Big ten
Saturday Night, Ohio State, Oregon on NBC and Peacock. Here
comes Saturday Night presented by Peacock. We will talk to
Todd Blacklitch. He will be on the call with Noah
Eagle that will be coming up at seven thirty Eastern
(00:26):
on Saturday on NBC and Peacock. You can watch this
show on Peacock as well. Download the app if you
haven't done so. And Seaton, would you update the poll results?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Sure to canon Dan you sure we got a few
of them working today. Let's see we have bigger game
for the Cowboys or the Lions right now? Seventy two
percent of the Cowboys biggest win last night, Guardians running
away with that, followed by the Yankees, Niners links in
last place, and then advancing to the from the Alds
(00:57):
to the Alcs. Is that champagne worthy right now? Sixty
eight percent say absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, I think champagne but not goggle worthy. But it
feels like you can't have one without the other. Yes, tod.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Champagne is spelled with champ in the first five letters.
That gives it all away. Wait till you win the
pennant or the whole thing before you go. Champagne Division
Series wild Card nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Why don't we call it champagne.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We could call it that, you know why we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, the French probably say, yeah, they messed those things
up there. Champagne instead of Champagne.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Be a champ champ is not winning the divisional Series.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Okay, buzzkill. Just out of the day, brought to you
by Penning America, the official trading cards of the program.
Al in Atlanta, Hi, Al, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Good morning Van? Has you meet Friday? I need my
sports therapist to help me talk through something real fast,
but real quick, Fritzy. It sounds like your entire dilemma
is not enough. Dark green weafy vegetables and spinach salad,
some collars, even some mustard greens, and your knights will
(02:06):
be less traumatic for yourself and your loved ones. And
now to doctor Dan, I have a dilemma. I'm watching
the MLB playoffs and I'm trying to get excited, but
I just can't pick a team to root for. Can't
pick the Yankees because of what they did to us
from ninety six to two thousand. Can't pick the other
New York team, won't even mention them because it's obvious.
(02:28):
Can't go with the Dodgers because the old NLS when
the Braves are out there in that rivalry. And I
can't go with the Padres because they're the ones who
gave the Braves the heave ho. So I'm left with
the Tigers and the Guardians. Now I can't. I just
have a mental block rooting for any Cleveland team because
of how they acted when Lebron left and then how
happy they were when he came back. Just two faces
(02:49):
for me. But I also can't root for the Tigers
because of last year when I was rooting for the
Lions in the NFC Championship game. My cousin said if
I ever route for any more of her teams in
the playoffs, she'll disown me as a family member. And
her husband still refuses to talk to me six plus
months later. So I don't know what to do, Dan,
(03:11):
and I need my therapist to help me talk to it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I would just make sure you stay away from baseball.
I think you just concentrate on college football and the NFL.
And speaking of college football, Ohio State and Oregon, Todd
blacklitche joining us. So these games, we want them to
live up to the hype. How much hype is surrounding
(03:33):
this and are both teams capable of living up to
the hype here?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Well, I think for sure Ohio State is you know,
I need to see it from Oregon, I think, you know,
I think the hype and the energy and the atmosphere
when the game kicks off is going to be unbelievable.
You know, Austin Stadium is not the biggest place, but
it is extremely loud. It will be an advantage. Ohio
State has been kind of a slow starting team in
(03:59):
the first quarter in the first half, only seven last
week against Iowa. But when I look at them, I
don't see any weaknesses on their team. And you know, Oregon,
I think is very, very talented. I think they're playing
their best football right now. They got their offensive line
figured out, their defense is playing better. But they're gonna
(04:20):
have to play by far their best game of the
season with the team they've got coming.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
In Ohio State went out and spent some money this offseason.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, they did, Yeah, they did. They went all in,
you know. And it's so interesting because, and I know
they would hate this comparison, but you know, covering Michigan
the last couple of years, and some of the guys
that made the decision to come back because they wanted
to pursue a championship. They hadn't beaten Ohio State in
their career. They wanted to leave a begger better legacy
(04:51):
as you know Michigan players, and they were able to
do that. You know, they're able to beat Ohio State
and they were able to win a national championship. And
a lot of these guys not only did they spend
money in the transfer portal, but they had several guys
who could have been high draft picks that decided to
come back. And they've built around that the addition from
the portal and the guys who came back that could
(05:13):
be first round picks will be first round picks after
this year. And they've got great chemistry, great culture, and
a very pinpointed vision. I mean, they are looking at
winning the national championship or bust. And that's you know,
that's the pressure they put on themselves. But they've got
the kind of team that could could make that kind
of round.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
How many teams can afford two losses and still make
the playoffs in your opinion?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah, well, you know we're new in this, right with
twelve teams, so it's totally new. I mean, we've got
to kind of change our whole parameters. I don't think
a lot of teams with two losses could. But again,
you don't know how the whole season is going to
play out because we're gone from four teams where it
was unheard of to think of a two loss team
(06:02):
making it to now twelve. So it's going to be different.
But there's a lot you know, with the midway point,
and there's it's cool because there's a lot of teams
that are still very much in the college football playoff conversation.
And even this game. You know, in years past, the
loser of this game, particularly now it's a conference game,
was behind the eight ball, and that's not going to
(06:23):
be the case. I mean, this is going to be
a great litmus test for both teams, a great measuring
stick for both teams of where they go from here.
But it doesn't rule them out of the college football
play but it doesn't rule them out of playing for
a Big Ten championship either.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know, we're a week out from Vandy upsetting Alabama. Yeah,
and it still sounds strange to say that, but this
is like a one and a half losses. It feels like,
you know, certain teams have a loss and other ones have.
This one's a little more costly perception wise. Yeah, it's
a huge win. Well, I should say a huge loss
(07:01):
for Alabama. Can they afford two losses and be in
the playoffs?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
You know, they still have they still playing the SEC,
They still have some big games left. They maybe could,
but you're right, the perception of.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That is not good.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
And that's not to take anything away from Vanderbilt or
the job that Clark Lee has done there. And you know,
they've got the exciting cult hero quarterback now and Diego Pavia.
But you know, especially coming off the heels of the
game that was like this a couple of weeks before
where they built up Georgia Alabama the game of the
year and it was a great game and an exciting game,
(07:39):
and Alabama wins and goes to number one, and then
they turn around and lose to a team that they
were heavily, heavily favored to beat. So perception of that
is going to sting for a while.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
NBC Sports Todd Blackletch, he'll be on the call. It's
Ohio State at Oregon seven thirty Eastern on NBC and
Peacock Notre Dame. Chances of making the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Well, you know, they they don't have a lot of
big games left on their schedule. You know. The one
team that they were I think counting on to be
a marquee kind of game for them, Florida State, who
they host in a couple of weeks, is you know,
can't get out of their own way, can't win a game,
it seems like. So so that game's not going to
help them.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
USC.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
They'll play them, but they don't know what what USC
will look like by the time that game comes around.
So they just can't afford. They can't afford to lose
a game. I mean, they've got to win everything out
and and and hope that the things fall the way
they can't. I think if they win the rest of
their games, they got a decent shot of it.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, what about let's say Army beat Notre Dame or
Navy neutral sight, could you see either one of them
military academies sneaking into the playoffs?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Well, I think I think they're both in the conference too,
you know, so, so they conceivably win a conference championship,
and you know, then there's the highest ranked non powerful
conference champion is going to get in automatically. Now right now,
that looks like it's gonna, you know, possibly be Boise State,
(09:15):
who's a really good football team, has a guy who
may win the Heisman Trophy in Ashton junties. So so
it'd be tough. I don't know that an Army or
Navy would make it as an at large. I think
they would have to make it as a conference champion
that's ranked higher than any of those other other division champions.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So you quarterback the nineteen eighty two national champs at
Penn State, Yes, what do you remember about that?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Well?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I remember a lot. I mean I remember a couple
of big regular season games. One was at home against Nebraska,
was a critical game. Both teams were in the top five.
Similar you know, time to this kind of a regular
season matchup with Ohio State and Oregon. We the game
a couple of weeks after we beat Nebrass, we lost
at Alabama and we're able to still kind of get
(10:06):
in position. And you know, it was before there was
the BCS or college football plays all. We were an independent.
We weren't in a conference. And when we won the
last weekend of the season against Pittsburgh, which was our tribal,
we moved to number two and Georgia was number one
and undefeated SEC champ, and so we met them in
the Sugar Bowls. So it was one versus two, which
(10:29):
you know didn't always happen. They didn't arrange for that
to happen. The SEC was committed to go to the
Sugar Bowl and we just happened to get there, and
so it was one versus two and it was a
great game in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Have fun, should be awesome on Saturday night with the
Oregon and Ohio State. Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
And I didn't like that last caller because i mean, I'm,
you know, Ohio guy, and I'm sure all the Buckeye fans,
I mean, we're pulling for the Guardians. We liked cheering
for the Guardians, but fund.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Did Ohio State recruit you? Well?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
So they kind of did, but not necessarily as a quarterback.
They had signed Art Fleister the year before and he
was like all everything in the state of Ohio, and
so they kind of talked to me about maybe being
a tight end or a linebacker, and you know, I
just I wanted to play quarterbacks, so I didn't want.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
To go there.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
But I have great respect for Ohio State. I have
a lot of friends that went there and played there,
and you know, loved their school. So it's a great place.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Thank you, Bud. It's Todd Blackliche NBC Sports Big ten
Saturday night and they will have the game. It starts
coverage seven thirty Eastern on NBC in Peacock. I think
Ohio State wanted Ben Roethlisberger to be a tight end
as well, and Ben wanted to be a quarterback, so
he went to Miami of Ohio. Morgan in Maryland, Hey Morgan,
(11:47):
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Hey Dan? I wanted to circle back to what you
guys are talking about with the Emmys. If you guys
were to win an Emmy the year that you retire,
would it, you know, lose it if it's luster or
would you still be happy to have it? Because if
this episode alone doesn't win you guys and any I
don't know what the panel is looking for.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You know what I'm saying, It would never lose its luster, Morgan,
because we would win. That's all I want, because I've
been up for other individual awards. I want us to
win because then all the hard work, all the people
behind the scenes. You know, we're three years in my
attic doing the show. I took a chance. I left
(12:31):
ESPN hiring these guys, bringing in people, people didn't have experience,
people hadn't been on radio and TV. And to be
able to have it all kind of fall into place
would be awesome. It'd be a wonderful way to call
this a career. I don't and it sounds like I'm
(12:51):
begging for it, and I'm not it. Truly, we are honored.
I am honored when we get nominated because if you
see the shows we're up against, these are all big
time networks. We're the anomaly, We're the outlier. They have
huge staffs. I got the big german. Also will mow
(13:15):
the grass. He directs the show. Marvin empties garbage after
the show. I mean, everybody has other jobs here, and
that's I mean I take great pride in that we
kind of hold this together and just to be able
to But the content is what separates us. That you know,
(13:37):
we don't need hundreds of people working on this. We
have the right people, and we do the right show,
and we have an unbelievable audience. That's a great reward there.
But if we did win, just to see these guys
up on stage being able to celebrate, that'd be one
of my greatest achievements. It really would. But if we win, great,
(14:00):
If we don't, just as long as we get nominated.
When I feel worse, not when we lose, but when
we don't get nominated. I want to be in there.
I want them to say our name. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's it's important.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Open bar too.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it's always an open bar.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
Oh, we don't get if it's But if we don't
go there.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, we have an open bar here, like our life
is an open bar. The problem is is we're usually
they're drowning our sorrows. The fact that one time when
we lost and I was so despondent, I was like, God,
this crushed me. And I remember going into a restaurant
and we saw Pat Sajack there and just randomly saw
(14:38):
Pat say Jack like hey Pat, and he's like hey Dan,
and then I told him what happened and he was
having dinner with his wife.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, there are times that, like, you know, like I
can't I can't really explain what life has been like
working on this show and being on this show. But
sitting at the Emmys downstairs eating dinner with Pat Sajak
who's picking fries off of your plate is exactly what
(15:08):
it's like. Sometimes it's like these bizarro situations where you're like,
Sometimes you're like, how the hell did I even get
into this situation? Like why how did I get here?
And I'm sitting with you and Pat Sajak is picking
fries off, he's picking food off of your plate. He's like, oh, yeah,
I just flew in to get a haircut.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Like the Emmys are going on upstairs where we're nominated
for one and we're crushing like a chicken palm down there.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
That's what it's like, and it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I have a hard time sitting in that room when
the whole ceremony goes on.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I just.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Can't do it, don't like it. And then when you
hear that, and the winner is and you're just you're
listening for the first syllable, wait, Dan Patrick, and then
(16:05):
we accused a rod of seeing that it was us,
and then he changed it to baseball maybe the Baseball
Tonight MLB network. Yes.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Tom.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
The other thing is if it's like the fifth or
sixth of war of the evening and then you can
salvage the rest of the night. But you're sitting there
to the twenty ninth one would and then you're like, really,
we're gonna.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Through all this to lose.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I know, I know. I did ask Pat Sajack, are
there any w's in the in the phrase that was
up there, and he said, no, just l's just l's
for you. That's cold. Yeah, a little it's a little
wheel fortune, a little w no.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Ws, no w s.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
But there's like five l's.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah right here us us five l's okay, Derek. You
guys just getting the wheel of fortune humor.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
The guest letters they guess concerts and valves in the havana.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Any w's no, but five els right there, Todd Seaton,
Mars Polly, really, thank you, take a break. Derrick Henry
will join us coming up next here on the Dan
Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
We were looking back on the stats for running backs.
You know, we focus on college in the pros, but
I was thinking about high school because Derek Henry rushed
for twelve thousand yards in high school, and I thought, Okay,
if I put that together with the ten thousand hees
rushed for in the NFL and then the thirty five
hundred he ran for at Alabama, so he's at almost
(17:52):
twenty six thousand yards right now. Emmett Smith has thirty
one thousand because in large part eighteen thousand he had
in the NFL, he had just under four thousand yards
in college, and he had eighty eight hundred yards in
high school. Some of the other players on this list,
these are running backs who had at least seven thousand
(18:13):
yards in high school. Thomas Jones, he had ten thousand
yards in the NFL, seven thousand in high school and
just under four thousand yards was he Virginia Thomas Jones?
Speaker 10 (18:27):
Yeah, then Jets Bears.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, Billy Simms, one of my favorites, had seventy seven
hundred yards in high school, thirty eight hundred yards in college,
and fifty one hundred yards in the pros cut short
by injuries. Mike Hart Michigan's Mike Cart he had sixteen
thousand total yards. He had eleven thousand yards in high school,
(18:52):
so just behind Derrick Henry Lendale White had seventy eight
hundred yards in high school, thirty one hundred yards at
USC and then twenty three hundred yards in the pros.
Bjeon Robinson had seven thousand high school yards, three thousand,
four hundred in college, and then he's off to his
(19:14):
NFL career with twelve hundred yards. But back to Derrick
Henry had a chance to talk to him yesterday, and
I said, well, it's nice getting to ten thousand yards
as an NFL running back. You haven't even eclipsed your
high school rushing totals.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I know it's lacking, Dan, I need to need to
do better.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Do you know how many you rush for in high school?
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I think like twelve four or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Twelve thousand yards in high school? Yeah, yeah, kind of
a ball hog. Did you ever think about letting somebody
else run the ball.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
I mean, I just liked it to I felt like
I was the best option as far as us winning.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
My teammates felt the same, and it worked at all. Right,
I didnt get the state championship high school, which IM
still mad about, but at least I left for something.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, but it looks like you're a giant, like you're
you're Goliath versus a bunch of Davids there. Do you
ever feel sorry for these high school kids?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (20:20):
No, no, not at all. You know, I just wanted
to go out there and just played the best that
I could. Who we played, and we played some tough teams.
I know, I saw the highlights. People always say I
was playing against like middle schools, but troll Hiss his girls,
Spurad or not. But yeah, we played some tough teams.
Though it wasn't all cool.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You rush for forty two hundred yards your senior year,
I mean, that's it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So funny.
Speaker 13 (20:49):
My high school running back coach, coach Pat who passed
away in twenty nineteen. Our freshman year, we had practice
and he had a piece of paper like all these
nimbors on there. I'm just like what's this. He's like,
these are the records in Florida. He's like, you're gonna
break them. And I was like, oh, whoa.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I ain't. I didn't know all those records stood. I
was like, boy, I got a lot to do.
Speaker 13 (21:10):
Then, plenty of time. He's like, you're gonna break them.
I just want you to look at.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I was curious when you had these long runs, how
do you know what the guy or guys behind your doing.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
I don't. I don't even I was No.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
I'm still mad about that run last week because I
didn't know the guy was behind me. I would have
turned around, tried to stiff on him something. I'm seeing
the end zone. I ain't know he was behind me.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I would have known.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
I would have give him a stiff on this something
to make him miss. But it happens now, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But do you look at Have you ever looked at
the jumbo trying to keep an eye on.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
The end zone?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
That's it. I'm trying to get to the end zone.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Can you hear people behind you?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
No?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I told you.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I'm I'm looking straight. Once I see green Grass, I
see the end zone. So I'm trying to get to
you can see him, you can see it in my face.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm like, what.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
What is that feeling like when you break free and
all you see is the end zine.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
I'm just I guess excitement. I'm just trying trying to
get there. I'm just go, just go go soon as
I see you can, guys, go greenlight.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But do you think people doubted you after you left
Tennessee and did you still have you know that get
up and go? Could you still you know, be an
elite running back?
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Yeah? I think it was a doubt everywhere.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
I mean I think it was out there that they
didn't think I was where I used to be. But
I knew that, you know, I still had plenty of
left and you know, when that next opportunity came, as
far as far as free agency, I was gonna be
ready and ready to showcase I can still go.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
If it wasn't the Ravens, who was going to be
the Ravens? Oh, you can say it now, Uh?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean I really don't know.
Speaker 13 (22:57):
I know the Cowboys think just because I live in
Dallas in the off season, that's basically home, and I
made the most sense if the Ravens wasn't interested, because
I mean, that's that's right there, and that just made
the most sense. But clearly they weren't interested in the
Ravens were, So it worked out the way it needed
to be.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But did you drop a hint to anybody on the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
No, not at all.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
I was just waiting to see if they were who
was interested, and my No. One option was the Ravens,
So I was waiting to see if that's still gonna
come about, and thank god it did. Cowboys. It worked
out where I wanted to be. I got here, and
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We're talking to Derrick Henry the Ravens running back, got
the Commander's coming up this weekend. Who has more moves
as a runner? You were, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Oh, Lamar, that's no question, that's a no brainer. I
mean he like he got eyes in the back of
his head.
Speaker 13 (23:49):
I mean you told me, I told you, I'm running
straight all different. I ain't wear about all that I'm
trying to get, Lamar.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I can see everything.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You ever catch yourself during a play watching him run,
Like damn, that's impressive.
Speaker 13 (24:04):
Yo, You're playing the Raiders and he was just like
he just jumping going this way. I'm like, it's crazy,
Like I asked myself, but how do you know that
he's I'll be seeing it.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I'd be like, yeah, not me. I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You can't teach that, can you.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
That's just giving the ability.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
What if I lined him up as a running back.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I think he'll still ask He says, he's still be
trying to run through people.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
He's grandma, So I don't think it'd be no different.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, yeah, because I wondered, like he'd rushed for one
thousand yards.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I think he could have. I think he could.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah. Yeah. How good is this team right now? You
gotta handle on how good the Ravens are.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
I know, uh, you know, we're trending in the right
directions as far as you know, uh.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Style of football.
Speaker 13 (24:55):
We want to play on all three phases, playing, complimenting
in football, and we just you know, want to continue
to build on that, fix the things we need to
fix as far as on office, defense and special teams,
and then like everything they take care of itself. But
you know, we are a confident group. We're confident in
each other. I don't want to say we're the we
are all the best, but we are working towards that,
(25:17):
and we believe we will. We will get there, but
it's just taking.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
A week by week.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
When's the last time John Harball yelled at you?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
John yelled at me?
Speaker 13 (25:28):
Uh, Coach Harball doesn't really yell unless he like really
needs to. Let's see, he feels like we're not doing
what we need to do as far as.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So, you haven't gotten in trouble, like you haven't done
anything wrong yet not.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Yeah, I'm not going Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, all right, you got one hundred touchdowns? How many
of those footballs did you keep?
Speaker 13 (25:52):
I didn't keep all of them, but I had a
good significant amount. The ones that were milestones I try
to keep.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Okay, what's your favorite one out of all those one
hundred the next one? No, no, that would be one
hundred and one.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
That's what I'm saying. So whatever the next milestone I hit,
that's my favorite one. But I don't really have a
specific one.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
But that's a pretty cool milestone to be a part
of the group. By being part of guys, I idolized
guys I grew up watching guys are kind of like
heroes to me.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Yeah, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
You know, Time for me to be able to accomplish
that and just thankful and God is good.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Okay, but you run differently than most running backs, so
you could idolize Barry Sanders or somebody like that.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
But but I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not them
at all.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
But like I still love watching them, watching the highlights
and just you know, seeing how dominant they were, you know,
you know, during that time, and you know, that's what
I get from that, just like how dominant.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
They were whenever they were in their prime.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And you know, but you didn't try to emulate them,
not very you know, well who did you want to emulate?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (27:05):
I grew up watching Emmen uh Ladani and Thomason who
was Thomasin's fan. But as I got older and I
realized my side was like, dang, I can't be oot.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
And I'll tell you the story of a couple of
weeks ago.
Speaker 13 (27:21):
You know, I looked up, I start, you know, looking
up and just watching running backs, and Eric Dickinson popped
up and I was like, dang, that's kind of like, yeah,
that's what I want to be like.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
And then in all the records, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Because he ran up right, he was he ran differently
than anybody, but he did have great speed. What do
you think when you see coach Saban on college game day?
Did you know he had this kind of personality?
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Yeah, I mean Coach Saban he was funding whenever we
were at BEMA. You know a lot of people didn't
see it, but practice coch Saban always always joke around
with us. I wasn't not surprised. To me, I felt
like it's something that that's that's natural, and plus got
different personalities that helped bring out other people's personalities. You know,
Pat McAfee, he loves messing with coach Sabings. So you know,
it's kind of good to see him having fun and
(28:07):
you know, you know, going off into his next journey,
I feel like he's doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, but you know, we broke the story about these nuts.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Josh Jacobs said that Coach Saban would talk about these nuts?
How about these nuts?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (28:25):
Yeah, he used to say that, like if he would Joe,
he would get somebody like every time. He definitely joked
about that. I remember those days.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
So did he ever say to you something about these nuts?
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Nah, I'll try to stay away.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
So I didn't get caught with that joke, but I
always be around here like he got somebody else. It
was it was it was he a crack up. It
was so funny to him, but we all knew it
was coming.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Hey, congrats on the milestones there and uh many more.
Great to talk to you and hopefully we'll see you
see you assume maybe at the shoot I started.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
That's the goal. And appreciate you for having me, Dan.
It's always fun.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Derrick Henry got the Commander's coming up this weekend and
over ten thousand yards in his NFL career one hundred
touchdowns as well. Mown Arizona's back. Hi, mom, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 14 (29:18):
Good morning, Dan Dennett. Uh you guys ever need something
to look at the portage on coming to one of
my construction job sites. It's very creative what they got
going on over here. Anyway, I want to touch up
on Rock Purty a little bit. He looked yesterday.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
He looked a little bit like in between Jeff Garcia
and let me say, I can't go as far as yeah,
Steve Young right in the middle, somewhere in the middle
right there, man. I mean, he looked pretty good yesterday.
The flip work. You know, Shanahan can't coach that. You know,
he's got a good defense, got everything going good around him.
But yesterday he looked pretty good. Hopefully he can do
(29:56):
that all behind in the playoffs. It's all I got.
Pretty much got a roll with Marvin. Must must see
game win Game of this week, definitely the Dodgers.
Speaker 14 (30:07):
We got to get over the man.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Big game. Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Mo
likes to call up and compliment Rock Party. I don't
think he thinks that I compliment Rock Purtty enough Rock
Purtty at three touchdown passes. George Kittle, George Kittle, all right,
all right, George. Yeah, it's one of those when you
see him and then I mean he's still, uh, you know,
(30:30):
very athletic. Now he can take it to the house,
but he's been banged up, but he has those moments
where you go, that's right, George Kittle, He's awesome. Update
the poll results. By the way, I just went out
and looked at these smash burgers on the trigger man.
Those look great. Those look great. Update the poll results
(30:53):
and we'll take a break. We'll go out and have
a burger and close up shop. Here last call for
phone calls? What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Seaton Seventy two percent of the audience have this is
a much bigger game for the Cowboys than the Lions.
Biggest win last night was the Guardians close tie for
second between the Niners and the Yankees, and is advancing
from the Alds to the Alcs champagne worthy? That is
at sixty eight percent say no.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
All right, all right, well you're probably right. We celebrated
the Memphis Grizzlies winning the Summer League championship a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Bears, don't hibern eate No, yeah, Sedon, I mean, I'm
not anti celebration.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I like celebrating wins. There's just.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Once you're popping bottles, it feels a little more like,
why don't we save that?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
But what if you're a great story like the Tigers.
If the Tigers win against the Guardians, that is champagne worthy.
What if that's as far as you get that, then
make sure you celebrate. No, No, I I disagree. I
I beg why do we beg to disagree?
Speaker 11 (32:04):
I beg your pardon?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah? I beg to disagree, yes, ton, Because.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
Then we can say you jinks that you celebrated, you
got too excited, and then you lost the championship series
because you got all excited about winning the divisional series.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Yes, I look at a team like the Tigers. Here's
my policy. They made the playoffs for the first time
in a decade. They should celebrate the night they clinch
a playoff spot. That should be the champagne. But once
they get to the postseason, it's like, hey, we're supposed
to be here, we expect to be here. I like
when teams who haven't been to the playoffs in a
long time clinch a spot and do their celebrating there
and then wait, the.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Night I helped the Tigers, Yeah, if they win, champagne goggles. Yeah, yes,
you're the Tigers. You win your first series, you win
this series, You're going to the Alcs against the Yankees.
Celebrate the moments along the way, yes time.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
What about like Pellegrino or Celtzer Orangina, and then work
your way up to the champagn If you win the
then if.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You're watching on Peacock, it's a feast to resistance. We're
going out to the grilling area and last call for
phone calls, right, After this.

(33:40):
All the recipes available Danpatrick dot com. This is This
is a sneaky grate recipe. And they got onions on them,
and I hate onions.
Speaker 10 (33:50):
I think you've been converted to onions.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Well in this specific situation I did. I went all
in because Tyler made a glaring mistake not making a
small burger without onions. But I'm going to overlook that. Yeah,
you're more open the onions these days. I am. It's growth.
I shows real growth. I like the smell of onions.
(34:13):
I just don't like the crunch of the.
Speaker 11 (34:15):
I finished that whole burger in two minutes?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Did you really?
Speaker 10 (34:17):
I did?
Speaker 11 (34:18):
I hate the entire thing.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
And then Todd, who had a damaging night last night,
you went all in. You're grabbing your little pigs in
a blanket.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I had about four of those inside of a minute.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I caught todd sneaking dessert. I walked outside and he
was he grabbed a cookie and then he was walking
outside and I said, you don't have to go hide.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
I got a little shy.
Speaker 12 (34:41):
I was actually double fisting two different types of pastris.
I had one in each out out of cookie and
some other things.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Don't be afraid to say no.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
I should will power Like I see.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Those ties last night. You could have said, maybe I'll
just have the steak. I don't have to have the
lobster mac and cheese, chili calamari calamar.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Case and the rolls with the pumpkins butter thing.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You just could have like cut it in half.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Had such a good time until it all came crashing
down the season.
Speaker 11 (35:10):
What is chili calamari?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I don't know what it was, but it was fabulous.
Speaker 12 (35:13):
There was one kind of calamari which I like to have,
and it was was something something chili calamario and had
a little taste it that it like as if it
was dipped in some kind of chili sauce.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
It was.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
They based it in chili, so there wasn't chili on it,
but it had a chili taste.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Only this day in sports history, just a couple I got.
Speaker 15 (35:30):
The Boston Bruins and Montreal Maroons were granted NHL franchises
in nineteen twenty four. Nineteen twenty five, the New York
Football Giants played their first NFL game, took the l
the Providence.
Speaker 10 (35:41):
They were a tough squad and.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (35:46):
Nineteen eighty, the Dallas Mavericks debuted at Reunion Arena and
they beat San Antonio one of three ninety two.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
On this date, twenty twenty, the Lakers won the NBA
title Heat the Miami Heat one six ninety three. Lebron
name the Bubble MVP. I guess with me on that
I have to gear up for this bron and Lebron
(36:17):
re Bronni's going to be their opening night, right, He's
got to And then you send him down to the
G League, let him get some seasoning, maybe have him
come back. What Christmas Day do they play? I'm guessing
they do. Yeah, so he gets to come back, like
maybe have strategic dates where you bring him back and
(36:38):
let him play and you know it's a it's a
big deal, but it's okay. Does Bron Lebron assist to
Bronnie or Bronnie assist to Lebron.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
Sports Center's next yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Up coming? Oh my god, these these shows gonna go bonkers.
Speaker 16 (37:02):
Yes, Marvin, don't let Bronnie make two three pointers? Is
he the next Lebron? Well, technically he is the next Lebron?
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Yeah? No, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Should he be in the rotation?
Speaker 16 (37:13):
But I think they've writted the band aid off pretty
early and get out of the way.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah yeah, let him play. Then let him go to
the G League and developed there because he does he
needs games. And then Dalton connect is the guy who's
going to help you. I mean, he can play, he
can be in the rotation, but Bronnie is not there yet.
I don't know where he'll get, but I I mean
(37:36):
I'm rooting for him. It's weird because what happened at
USC and uh, he just never got into He just
never got into the rotation, never got into the flow.
And by all accounts, seems to be a pretty good kid,
humble kid, nice kid. But I the expectation level is
(37:57):
going to be stratus farick.
Speaker 16 (38:02):
Yes, Marvin, And how does this affect the Cowboys coming
up next?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah? Of course, Well somehow, let's see what Dion Fritzi
talked about this. He plays for the Falcons in Miami
Flies to Pittsburgh Game five of the NLCS. He got
there fifteen minutes before the start of the game. He
didn't play in the game.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Bobby Cox said, Nope, not in the lineup today.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Lou Gerrigg on this day nineteen twenty seven named League MVP.
Babe Ruth hit sixty home runs that year, but as
a former winner, Babe Ruth was not eligible in the
year that he hit sixty home runs? Uh, how fast
do you think they were throwing then? I thought they
(38:47):
were bringing it at least ninety four miles an hour.
I'm gonna say probably low nineties.
Speaker 11 (38:55):
Do you think so?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah? Maybe? I mean there were guys who threw pretty hard. Oh,
do we have time for a pea bomb? Oh? Paulie
has been on fire with his pea bombs? And does
he have one?
Speaker 11 (39:09):
You know what is the best about pea bombs?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Real quick?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
If I can say, no one likes being right more
than paul No one hates attention for being more than paul.
Speaker 10 (39:18):
This sets up for disaster.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
It is a disaster. It's time for the pea bomb.
Speaker 15 (39:22):
All right, I'll go quickly. I've picked Army every game
this year. I'm laying off Army this weekend. The line
is catching up with them. Usually they're a monster first
half cover squad. They're getting giving fifteen and a half.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Stay away.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, but that's not a pea bomb exactly. Pea bomb
is when you have the umpset.
Speaker 15 (39:38):
Oh, I know, Pa bombs Dad, all right, and that
is it's not Vandy over Kentucky. They may cover. I'm
going tonight, Arizona State getting five and a half to Utah.
Arizona State wins outright, that's.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
A pea bomb. That's what we learned. Brought to you.
Buy King Sawaian slide into the weekend. Have yourself a
great slider Sunday. Our pleasure to serve you Monday through Friday.
I'd work on the weekends, but the dan Nets don't
want to. For Fritzie Seaton, Marv Paul Ears, truly, we'll
talk to you on Monday.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Who has it better than we do? No stat of
the Day has always brought you by Panini America, the
official trading cards of this program. It is Big ten
Saturday Night, Ohio State, Oregon on NBC and Peacock. Here
comes Saturday Night presented by Peacock. We will talk to
Todd Blacklitch. He will be on the call with Noah
Eagle that will be coming up at seven thirty Eastern
(00:26):
on Saturday on NBC and Peacock. You can watch this
show on Peacock as well. Download the app if you
haven't done so. And Seaton, would you update the poll results?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Sure to canon Dan you sure we got a few
of them working today. Let's see we have bigger game
for the Cowboys or the Lions right now? Seventy two
percent of the Cowboys biggest win last night, Guardians running
away with that, followed by the Yankees, Niners links in
last place, and then advancing to the from the Alds
(00:57):
to the Alcs. Is that champagne worthy right now? Sixty
eight percent say absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, I think champagne but not goggle worthy. But it
feels like you can't have one without the other. Yes, tod.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Champagne is spelled with champ in the first five letters.
That gives it all away. Wait till you win the
pennant or the whole thing before you go. Champagne Division
Series wild Card nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Why don't we call it champagne.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We could call it that, you know why we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, the French probably say, yeah, they messed those things
up there. Champagne instead of Champagne.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Be a champ champ is not winning the divisional Series.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Okay, buzzkill. Just out of the day, brought to you
by Penning America, the official trading cards of the program.
Al in Atlanta, Hi, Al, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Good morning Van? Has you meet Friday? I need my
sports therapist to help me talk through something real fast,
but real quick, Fritzy. It sounds like your entire dilemma
is not enough. Dark green weafy vegetables and spinach salad,
some collars, even some mustard greens, and your knights will
(02:06):
be less traumatic for yourself and your loved ones. And
now to doctor Dan, I have a dilemma. I'm watching
the MLB playoffs and I'm trying to get excited, but
I just can't pick a team to root for. Can't
pick the Yankees because of what they did to us
from ninety six to two thousand. Can't pick the other
New York team, won't even mention them because it's obvious.
(02:28):
Can't go with the Dodgers because the old NLS when
the Braves are out there in that rivalry. And I
can't go with the Padres because they're the ones who
gave the Braves the heave ho. So I'm left with
the Tigers and the Guardians. Now I can't. I just
have a mental block rooting for any Cleveland team because
of how they acted when Lebron left and then how
happy they were when he came back. Just two faces
(02:49):
for me. But I also can't root for the Tigers
because of last year when I was rooting for the
Lions in the NFC Championship game. My cousin said if
I ever route for any more of her teams in
the playoffs, she'll disown me as a family member. And
her husband still refuses to talk to me six plus
months later. So I don't know what to do, Dan,
(03:11):
and I need my therapist to help me talk to it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I would just make sure you stay away from baseball.
I think you just concentrate on college football and the NFL.
And speaking of college football, Ohio State and Oregon, Todd
blacklitche joining us. So these games, we want them to
live up to the hype. How much hype is surrounding
(03:33):
this and are both teams capable of living up to
the hype here?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Well, I think for sure Ohio State is you know,
I need to see it from Oregon, I think, you know,
I think the hype and the energy and the atmosphere
when the game kicks off is going to be unbelievable.
You know, Austin Stadium is not the biggest place, but
it is extremely loud. It will be an advantage. Ohio
State has been kind of a slow starting team in
(03:59):
the first quarter in the first half, only seven last
week against Iowa. But when I look at them, I
don't see any weaknesses on their team. And you know, Oregon,
I think is very, very talented. I think they're playing
their best football right now. They got their offensive line
figured out, their defense is playing better. But they're gonna
(04:20):
have to play by far their best game of the
season with the team they've got coming.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
In Ohio State went out and spent some money this offseason.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, they did, Yeah, they did. They went all in,
you know. And it's so interesting because, and I know
they would hate this comparison, but you know, covering Michigan
the last couple of years, and some of the guys
that made the decision to come back because they wanted
to pursue a championship. They hadn't beaten Ohio State in
their career. They wanted to leave a begger better legacy
(04:51):
as you know Michigan players, and they were able to
do that. You know, they're able to beat Ohio State
and they were able to win a national championship. And
a lot of these guys not only did they spend
money in the transfer portal, but they had several guys
who could have been high draft picks that decided to
come back. And they've built around that the addition from
the portal and the guys who came back that could
(05:13):
be first round picks will be first round picks after
this year. And they've got great chemistry, great culture, and
a very pinpointed vision. I mean, they are looking at
winning the national championship or bust. And that's you know,
that's the pressure they put on themselves. But they've got
the kind of team that could could make that kind
of round.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
How many teams can afford two losses and still make
the playoffs in your opinion?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah, well, you know we're new in this, right with
twelve teams, so it's totally new. I mean, we've got
to kind of change our whole parameters. I don't think
a lot of teams with two losses could. But again,
you don't know how the whole season is going to
play out because we're gone from four teams where it
was unheard of to think of a two loss team
(06:02):
making it to now twelve. So it's going to be different.
But there's a lot you know, with the midway point,
and there's it's cool because there's a lot of teams
that are still very much in the college football playoff conversation.
And even this game. You know, in years past, the
loser of this game, particularly now it's a conference game,
was behind the eight ball, and that's not going to
(06:23):
be the case. I mean, this is going to be
a great litmus test for both teams, a great measuring
stick for both teams of where they go from here.
But it doesn't rule them out of the college football
play but it doesn't rule them out of playing for
a Big Ten championship either.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know, we're a week out from Vandy upsetting Alabama. Yeah,
and it still sounds strange to say that, but this
is like a one and a half losses. It feels like,
you know, certain teams have a loss and other ones have.
This one's a little more costly perception wise. Yeah, it's
a huge win. Well, I should say a huge loss
(07:01):
for Alabama. Can they afford two losses and be in
the playoffs?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
You know, they still have they still playing the SEC,
They still have some big games left. They maybe could,
but you're right, the perception of.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That is not good.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
And that's not to take anything away from Vanderbilt or
the job that Clark Lee has done there. And you know,
they've got the exciting cult hero quarterback now and Diego Pavia.
But you know, especially coming off the heels of the
game that was like this a couple of weeks before
where they built up Georgia Alabama the game of the
year and it was a great game and an exciting game,
(07:39):
and Alabama wins and goes to number one, and then
they turn around and lose to a team that they
were heavily, heavily favored to beat. So perception of that
is going to sting for a while.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
NBC Sports Todd Blackletch, he'll be on the call. It's
Ohio State at Oregon seven thirty Eastern on NBC and
Peacock Notre Dame. Chances of making the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Well, you know, they they don't have a lot of
big games left on their schedule. You know. The one
team that they were I think counting on to be
a marquee kind of game for them, Florida State, who
they host in a couple of weeks, is you know,
can't get out of their own way, can't win a game,
it seems like. So so that game's not going to
help them.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
USC.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
They'll play them, but they don't know what what USC
will look like by the time that game comes around.
So they just can't afford. They can't afford to lose
a game. I mean, they've got to win everything out
and and and hope that the things fall the way
they can't. I think if they win the rest of
their games, they got a decent shot of it.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, what about let's say Army beat Notre Dame or
Navy neutral sight, could you see either one of them
military academies sneaking into the playoffs?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Well, I think I think they're both in the conference too,
you know, so, so they conceivably win a conference championship,
and you know, then there's the highest ranked non powerful
conference champion is going to get in automatically. Now right now,
that looks like it's gonna, you know, possibly be Boise State,
(09:15):
who's a really good football team, has a guy who
may win the Heisman Trophy in Ashton junties. So so
it'd be tough. I don't know that an Army or
Navy would make it as an at large. I think
they would have to make it as a conference champion
that's ranked higher than any of those other other division champions.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So you quarterback the nineteen eighty two national champs at
Penn State, Yes, what do you remember about that?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Well?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I remember a lot. I mean I remember a couple
of big regular season games. One was at home against Nebraska,
was a critical game. Both teams were in the top five.
Similar you know, time to this kind of a regular
season matchup with Ohio State and Oregon. We the game
a couple of weeks after we beat Nebrass, we lost
at Alabama and we're able to still kind of get
(10:06):
in position. And you know, it was before there was
the BCS or college football plays all. We were an independent.
We weren't in a conference. And when we won the
last weekend of the season against Pittsburgh, which was our tribal,
we moved to number two and Georgia was number one
and undefeated SEC champ, and so we met them in
the Sugar Bowls. So it was one versus two, which
(10:29):
you know didn't always happen. They didn't arrange for that
to happen. The SEC was committed to go to the
Sugar Bowl and we just happened to get there, and
so it was one versus two and it was a
great game in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Have fun, should be awesome on Saturday night with the
Oregon and Ohio State. Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
And I didn't like that last caller because i mean, I'm,
you know, Ohio guy, and I'm sure all the Buckeye fans,
I mean, we're pulling for the Guardians. We liked cheering
for the Guardians, but fund.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Did Ohio State recruit you? Well?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
So they kind of did, but not necessarily as a quarterback.
They had signed Art Fleister the year before and he
was like all everything in the state of Ohio, and
so they kind of talked to me about maybe being
a tight end or a linebacker, and you know, I
just I wanted to play quarterbacks, so I didn't want.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
To go there.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
But I have great respect for Ohio State. I have
a lot of friends that went there and played there,
and you know, loved their school. So it's a great place.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Thank you, Bud. It's Todd Blackliche NBC Sports Big ten
Saturday night and they will have the game. It starts
coverage seven thirty Eastern on NBC in Peacock. I think
Ohio State wanted Ben Roethlisberger to be a tight end
as well, and Ben wanted to be a quarterback, so
he went to Miami of Ohio. Morgan in Maryland, Hey Morgan,
(11:47):
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Hey Dan? I wanted to circle back to what you
guys are talking about with the Emmys. If you guys
were to win an Emmy the year that you retire,
would it, you know, lose it if it's luster or
would you still be happy to have it? Because if
this episode alone doesn't win you guys and any I
don't know what the panel is looking for.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You know what I'm saying, It would never lose its luster, Morgan,
because we would win. That's all I want, because I've
been up for other individual awards. I want us to
win because then all the hard work, all the people
behind the scenes. You know, we're three years in my
attic doing the show. I took a chance. I left
(12:31):
ESPN hiring these guys, bringing in people, people didn't have experience,
people hadn't been on radio and TV. And to be
able to have it all kind of fall into place
would be awesome. It'd be a wonderful way to call
this a career. I don't and it sounds like I'm
(12:51):
begging for it, and I'm not it. Truly, we are honored.
I am honored when we get nominated because if you
see the shows we're up against, these are all big
time networks. We're the anomaly, We're the outlier. They have
huge staffs. I got the big german. Also will mow
(13:15):
the grass. He directs the show. Marvin empties garbage after
the show. I mean, everybody has other jobs here, and
that's I mean I take great pride in that we
kind of hold this together and just to be able
to But the content is what separates us. That you know,
(13:37):
we don't need hundreds of people working on this. We
have the right people, and we do the right show,
and we have an unbelievable audience. That's a great reward there.
But if we did win, just to see these guys
up on stage being able to celebrate, that'd be one
of my greatest achievements. It really would. But if we win, great,
(14:00):
If we don't, just as long as we get nominated.
When I feel worse, not when we lose, but when
we don't get nominated. I want to be in there.
I want them to say our name. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's it's important.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Open bar too.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it's always an open bar.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
Oh, we don't get if it's But if we don't
go there.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, we have an open bar here, like our life
is an open bar. The problem is is we're usually
they're drowning our sorrows. The fact that one time when
we lost and I was so despondent, I was like, God,
this crushed me. And I remember going into a restaurant
and we saw Pat Sajack there and just randomly saw
(14:38):
Pat say Jack like hey Pat, and he's like hey Dan,
and then I told him what happened and he was
having dinner with his wife.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, there are times that, like, you know, like I
can't I can't really explain what life has been like
working on this show and being on this show. But
sitting at the Emmys downstairs eating dinner with Pat Sajak
who's picking fries off of your plate is exactly what
(15:08):
it's like. Sometimes it's like these bizarro situations where you're like,
Sometimes you're like, how the hell did I even get
into this situation? Like why how did I get here?
And I'm sitting with you and Pat Sajak is picking
fries off, he's picking food off of your plate. He's like, oh, yeah,
I just flew in to get a haircut.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Like the Emmys are going on upstairs where we're nominated
for one and we're crushing like a chicken palm down there.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
That's what it's like, and it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I have a hard time sitting in that room when
the whole ceremony goes on.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I just.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Can't do it, don't like it. And then when you
hear that, and the winner is and you're just you're
listening for the first syllable, wait, Dan Patrick, and then
(16:05):
we accused a rod of seeing that it was us,
and then he changed it to baseball maybe the Baseball
Tonight MLB network. Yes.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Tom.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
The other thing is if it's like the fifth or
sixth of war of the evening and then you can
salvage the rest of the night. But you're sitting there
to the twenty ninth one would and then you're like, really,
we're gonna.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Through all this to lose.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I know, I know. I did ask Pat Sajack, are
there any w's in the in the phrase that was
up there, and he said, no, just l's just l's
for you. That's cold. Yeah, a little it's a little
wheel fortune, a little w no.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Ws, no w s.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
But there's like five l's.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah right here us us five l's okay, Derek. You
guys just getting the wheel of fortune humor.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
The guest letters they guess concerts and valves in the havana.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Any w's no, but five els right there, Todd Seaton,
Mars Polly, really, thank you, take a break. Derrick Henry
will join us coming up next here on the Dan
Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 2 (17:28):
We were looking back on the stats for running backs.
You know, we focus on college in the pros, but
I was thinking about high school because Derek Henry rushed
for twelve thousand yards in high school, and I thought, Okay,
if I put that together with the ten thousand hees
rushed for in the NFL and then the thirty five
hundred he ran for at Alabama, so he's at almost
(17:52):
twenty six thousand yards right now. Emmett Smith has thirty
one thousand because in large part eighteen thousand he had
in the NFL, he had just under four thousand yards
in college, and he had eighty eight hundred yards in
high school. Some of the other players on this list,
these are running backs who had at least seven thousand
(18:13):
yards in high school. Thomas Jones, he had ten thousand
yards in the NFL, seven thousand in high school and
just under four thousand yards was he Virginia Thomas Jones?
Speaker 10 (18:27):
Yeah, then Jets Bears.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, Billy Simms, one of my favorites, had seventy seven
hundred yards in high school, thirty eight hundred yards in college,
and fifty one hundred yards in the pros cut short
by injuries. Mike Hart Michigan's Mike Cart he had sixteen
thousand total yards. He had eleven thousand yards in high school,
(18:52):
so just behind Derrick Henry Lendale White had seventy eight
hundred yards in high school, thirty one hundred yards at
USC and then twenty three hundred yards in the pros.
Bjeon Robinson had seven thousand high school yards, three thousand,
four hundred in college, and then he's off to his
(19:14):
NFL career with twelve hundred yards. But back to Derrick
Henry had a chance to talk to him yesterday, and
I said, well, it's nice getting to ten thousand yards
as an NFL running back. You haven't even eclipsed your
high school rushing totals.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I know it's lacking, Dan, I need to need to
do better.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Do you know how many you rush for in high school?
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I think like twelve four or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Twelve thousand yards in high school? Yeah, yeah, kind of
a ball hog. Did you ever think about letting somebody
else run the ball.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
I mean, I just liked it to I felt like
I was the best option as far as us winning.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
My teammates felt the same, and it worked at all. Right,
I didnt get the state championship high school, which IM
still mad about, but at least I left for something.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, but it looks like you're a giant, like you're
you're Goliath versus a bunch of Davids there. Do you
ever feel sorry for these high school kids?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (20:20):
No, no, not at all. You know, I just wanted
to go out there and just played the best that
I could. Who we played, and we played some tough teams.
I know, I saw the highlights. People always say I
was playing against like middle schools, but troll Hiss his girls,
Spurad or not. But yeah, we played some tough teams.
Though it wasn't all cool.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You rush for forty two hundred yards your senior year,
I mean, that's it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So funny.
Speaker 13 (20:49):
My high school running back coach, coach Pat who passed
away in twenty nineteen. Our freshman year, we had practice
and he had a piece of paper like all these
nimbors on there. I'm just like what's this. He's like,
these are the records in Florida. He's like, you're gonna
break them. And I was like, oh, whoa.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I ain't. I didn't know all those records stood. I
was like, boy, I got a lot to do.
Speaker 13 (21:10):
Then, plenty of time. He's like, you're gonna break them.
I just want you to look at.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I was curious when you had these long runs, how
do you know what the guy or guys behind your doing.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
I don't. I don't even I was No.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
I'm still mad about that run last week because I
didn't know the guy was behind me. I would have
turned around, tried to stiff on him something. I'm seeing
the end zone. I ain't know he was behind me.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I would have known.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
I would have give him a stiff on this something
to make him miss. But it happens now, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But do you look at Have you ever looked at
the jumbo trying to keep an eye on.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
The end zone?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
That's it. I'm trying to get to the end zone.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Can you hear people behind you?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
No?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I told you.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I'm I'm looking straight. Once I see green Grass, I
see the end zone. So I'm trying to get to
you can see him, you can see it in my face.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm like, what.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
What is that feeling like when you break free and
all you see is the end zine.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
I'm just I guess excitement. I'm just trying trying to
get there. I'm just go, just go go soon as
I see you can, guys, go greenlight.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But do you think people doubted you after you left
Tennessee and did you still have you know that get
up and go? Could you still you know, be an
elite running back?
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Yeah? I think it was a doubt everywhere.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
I mean I think it was out there that they
didn't think I was where I used to be. But
I knew that, you know, I still had plenty of
left and you know, when that next opportunity came, as
far as far as free agency, I was gonna be
ready and ready to showcase I can still go.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
If it wasn't the Ravens, who was going to be
the Ravens? Oh, you can say it now, Uh?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I mean I really don't know.
Speaker 13 (22:57):
I know the Cowboys think just because I live in
Dallas in the off season, that's basically home, and I
made the most sense if the Ravens wasn't interested, because
I mean, that's that's right there, and that just made
the most sense. But clearly they weren't interested in the
Ravens were, So it worked out the way it needed
to be.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But did you drop a hint to anybody on the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
No, not at all.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
I was just waiting to see if they were who
was interested, and my No. One option was the Ravens,
So I was waiting to see if that's still gonna
come about, and thank god it did. Cowboys. It worked
out where I wanted to be. I got here, and
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We're talking to Derrick Henry the Ravens running back, got
the Commander's coming up this weekend. Who has more moves
as a runner? You were, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Oh, Lamar, that's no question, that's a no brainer. I
mean he like he got eyes in the back of
his head.
Speaker 13 (23:49):
I mean you told me, I told you, I'm running
straight all different. I ain't wear about all that I'm
trying to get, Lamar.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I can see everything.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You ever catch yourself during a play watching him run,
Like damn, that's impressive.
Speaker 13 (24:04):
Yo, You're playing the Raiders and he was just like
he just jumping going this way. I'm like, it's crazy,
Like I asked myself, but how do you know that
he's I'll be seeing it.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I'd be like, yeah, not me. I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You can't teach that, can you.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
That's just giving the ability.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
What if I lined him up as a running back.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I think he'll still ask He says, he's still be
trying to run through people.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
He's grandma, So I don't think it'd be no different.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, yeah, because I wondered, like he'd rushed for one
thousand yards.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I think he could have. I think he could.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah. Yeah. How good is this team right now? You
gotta handle on how good the Ravens are.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
I know, uh, you know, we're trending in the right
directions as far as you know, uh.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Style of football.
Speaker 13 (24:55):
We want to play on all three phases, playing, complimenting
in football, and we just you know, want to continue
to build on that, fix the things we need to
fix as far as on office, defense and special teams,
and then like everything they take care of itself. But
you know, we are a confident group. We're confident in
each other. I don't want to say we're the we
are all the best, but we are working towards that,
(25:17):
and we believe we will. We will get there, but
it's just taking.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
A week by week.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
When's the last time John Harball yelled at you?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
John yelled at me?
Speaker 13 (25:28):
Uh, Coach Harball doesn't really yell unless he like really
needs to. Let's see, he feels like we're not doing
what we need to do as far as.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So, you haven't gotten in trouble, like you haven't done
anything wrong yet not.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Yeah, I'm not going Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, all right, you got one hundred touchdowns? How many
of those footballs did you keep?
Speaker 13 (25:52):
I didn't keep all of them, but I had a
good significant amount. The ones that were milestones I try
to keep.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Okay, what's your favorite one out of all those one
hundred the next one? No, no, that would be one
hundred and one.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
That's what I'm saying. So whatever the next milestone I hit,
that's my favorite one. But I don't really have a
specific one.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
But that's a pretty cool milestone to be a part
of the group. By being part of guys, I idolized
guys I grew up watching guys are kind of like
heroes to me.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Yeah, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
You know, Time for me to be able to accomplish
that and just thankful and God is good.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Okay, but you run differently than most running backs, so
you could idolize Barry Sanders or somebody like that.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
But but I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not them
at all.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
But like I still love watching them, watching the highlights
and just you know, seeing how dominant they were, you know,
you know, during that time, and you know, that's what
I get from that, just like how dominant.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
They were whenever they were in their prime.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And you know, but you didn't try to emulate them,
not very you know, well who did you want to emulate?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (27:05):
I grew up watching Emmen uh Ladani and Thomason who
was Thomasin's fan. But as I got older and I
realized my side was like, dang, I can't be oot.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
And I'll tell you the story of a couple of
weeks ago.
Speaker 13 (27:21):
You know, I looked up, I start, you know, looking
up and just watching running backs, and Eric Dickinson popped
up and I was like, dang, that's kind of like, yeah,
that's what I want to be like.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
And then in all the records, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Because he ran up right, he was he ran differently
than anybody, but he did have great speed. What do
you think when you see coach Saban on college game day?
Did you know he had this kind of personality?
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Yeah, I mean Coach Saban he was funding whenever we
were at BEMA. You know a lot of people didn't
see it, but practice coch Saban always always joke around
with us. I wasn't not surprised. To me, I felt
like it's something that that's that's natural, and plus got
different personalities that helped bring out other people's personalities. You know,
Pat McAfee, he loves messing with coach Sabings. So you know,
it's kind of good to see him having fun and
(28:07):
you know, you know, going off into his next journey,
I feel like he's doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, but you know, we broke the story about these nuts.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Josh Jacobs said that Coach Saban would talk about these nuts?
How about these nuts?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (28:25):
Yeah, he used to say that, like if he would Joe,
he would get somebody like every time. He definitely joked
about that. I remember those days.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
So did he ever say to you something about these nuts?
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Nah, I'll try to stay away.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
So I didn't get caught with that joke, but I
always be around here like he got somebody else. It
was it was it was he a crack up. It
was so funny to him, but we all knew it
was coming.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Hey, congrats on the milestones there and uh many more.
Great to talk to you and hopefully we'll see you
see you assume maybe at the shoot I started.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
That's the goal. And appreciate you for having me, Dan.
It's always fun.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Derrick Henry got the Commander's coming up this weekend and
over ten thousand yards in his NFL career one hundred
touchdowns as well. Mown Arizona's back. Hi, mom, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 14 (29:18):
Good morning, Dan Dennett. Uh you guys ever need something
to look at the portage on coming to one of
my construction job sites. It's very creative what they got
going on over here. Anyway, I want to touch up
on Rock Purty a little bit. He looked yesterday.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
He looked a little bit like in between Jeff Garcia
and let me say, I can't go as far as yeah,
Steve Young right in the middle, somewhere in the middle
right there, man. I mean, he looked pretty good yesterday.
The flip work. You know, Shanahan can't coach that. You know,
he's got a good defense, got everything going good around him.
But yesterday he looked pretty good. Hopefully he can do
(29:56):
that all behind in the playoffs. It's all I got.
Pretty much got a roll with Marvin. Must must see
game win Game of this week, definitely the Dodgers.
Speaker 14 (30:07):
We got to get over the man.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Big game. Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Mo
likes to call up and compliment Rock Party. I don't
think he thinks that I compliment Rock Purtty enough Rock
Purtty at three touchdown passes. George Kittle, George Kittle, all right,
all right, George. Yeah, it's one of those when you
see him and then I mean he's still, uh, you know,
(30:30):
very athletic. Now he can take it to the house,
but he's been banged up, but he has those moments
where you go, that's right, George Kittle, He's awesome. Update
the poll results. By the way, I just went out
and looked at these smash burgers on the trigger man.
Those look great. Those look great. Update the poll results
(30:53):
and we'll take a break. We'll go out and have
a burger and close up shop. Here last call for
phone calls? What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Seaton Seventy two percent of the audience have this is
a much bigger game for the Cowboys than the Lions.
Biggest win last night was the Guardians close tie for
second between the Niners and the Yankees, and is advancing
from the Alds to the Alcs champagne worthy? That is
at sixty eight percent say no.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
All right, all right, well you're probably right. We celebrated
the Memphis Grizzlies winning the Summer League championship a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Bears, don't hibern eate No, yeah, Sedon, I mean, I'm
not anti celebration.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I like celebrating wins. There's just.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Once you're popping bottles, it feels a little more like,
why don't we save that?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
But what if you're a great story like the Tigers.
If the Tigers win against the Guardians, that is champagne worthy.
What if that's as far as you get that, then
make sure you celebrate. No, No, I I disagree. I
I beg why do we beg to disagree?
Speaker 11 (32:04):
I beg your pardon?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah? I beg to disagree, yes, ton, Because.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
Then we can say you jinks that you celebrated, you
got too excited, and then you lost the championship series
because you got all excited about winning the divisional series.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Yes, I look at a team like the Tigers. Here's
my policy. They made the playoffs for the first time
in a decade. They should celebrate the night they clinch
a playoff spot. That should be the champagne. But once
they get to the postseason, it's like, hey, we're supposed
to be here, we expect to be here. I like
when teams who haven't been to the playoffs in a
long time clinch a spot and do their celebrating there
and then wait, the.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Night I helped the Tigers, Yeah, if they win, champagne goggles. Yeah, yes,
you're the Tigers. You win your first series, you win
this series, You're going to the Alcs against the Yankees.
Celebrate the moments along the way, yes time.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
What about like Pellegrino or Celtzer Orangina, and then work
your way up to the champagn If you win the
then if.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You're watching on Peacock, it's a feast to resistance. We're
going out to the grilling area and last call for

and I hate onions.
Speaker 10 (33:50):
I think you've been converted to onions.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Well in this specific situation I did. I went all
in because Tyler made a glaring mistake not making a
small burger without onions. But I'm going to overlook that. Yeah,
you're more open the onions these days. I am. It's growth.
I shows real growth. I like the smell of onions.
(34:13):
I just don't like the crunch of the.
Speaker 11 (34:15):

lobster mac and cheese, chili calamari calamar.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Case and the rolls with the pumpkins butter thing.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You just could have like cut it in half.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Had such a good time until it all came crashing
down the season.
Speaker 11 (35:10):
What is chili calamari?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I don't know what it was, but it was fabulous.
Speaker 12 (35:13):
There was one kind of calamari which I like to have,
and it was was something something chili calamario and had
a little taste it that it like as if it
was dipped in some kind of chili sauce.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
It was.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
They based it in chili, so there wasn't chili on it,
but it had a chili taste.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Only this day in sports history, just a couple I got.
Speaker 15 (35:30):
The Boston Bruins and Montreal Maroons were granted NHL franchises
in nineteen twenty four. Nineteen twenty five, the New York
Football Giants played their first NFL game, took the l
the Providence.
Speaker 10 (35:41):
They were a tough squad and.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (35:46):
Nineteen eighty, the Dallas Mavericks debuted at Reunion Arena and
they beat San Antonio one of three ninety two.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
On this date, twenty twenty, the Lakers won the NBA
title Heat the Miami Heat one six ninety three. Lebron
name the Bubble MVP. I guess with me on that
I have to gear up for this bron and Lebron
(36:17):
re Bronni's going to be their opening night, right, He's
got to And then you send him down to the
G League, let him get some seasoning, maybe have him
come back. What Christmas Day do they play? I'm guessing
they do. Yeah, so he gets to come back, like
maybe have strategic dates where you bring him back and
(36:38):
let him play and you know it's a it's a
big deal, but it's okay. Does Bron Lebron assist to
Bronnie or Bronnie assist to Lebron.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
Sports Center's next yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Up coming? Oh my god, these these shows gonna go bonkers.
Speaker 16 (37:02):
Yes, Marvin, don't let Bronnie make two three pointers? Is
he the next Lebron? Well, technically he is the next Lebron?
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Yeah? No, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Should he be in the rotation?
Speaker 16 (37:13):
But I think they've writted the band aid off pretty
early and get out of the way.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah yeah, let him play. Then let him go to
the G League and developed there because he does he
needs games. And then Dalton connect is the guy who's
going to help you. I mean, he can play, he
can be in the rotation, but Bronnie is not there yet.
I don't know where he'll get, but I I mean
(37:36):
I'm rooting for him. It's weird because what happened at
USC and uh, he just never got into He just
never got into the rotation, never got into the flow.
And by all accounts, seems to be a pretty good kid,
humble kid, nice kid. But I the expectation level is
(37:57):
going to be stratus farick.
Speaker 16 (38:02):
Yes, Marvin, And how does this affect the Cowboys coming
up next?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah? Of course, Well somehow, let's see what Dion Fritzi
talked about this. He plays for the Falcons in Miami
Flies to Pittsburgh Game five of the NLCS. He got
there fifteen minutes before the start of the game. He
didn't play in the game.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Bobby Cox said, Nope, not in the lineup today.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Lou Gerrigg on this day nineteen twenty seven named League MVP.
Babe Ruth hit sixty home runs that year, but as
a former winner, Babe Ruth was not eligible in the
year that he hit sixty home runs? Uh, how fast
do you think they were throwing then? I thought they
(38:47):
were bringing it at least ninety four miles an hour.
I'm gonna say probably low nineties.
Speaker 11 (38:55):
Do you think so?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah? Maybe? I mean there were guys who threw pretty hard. Oh,
do we have time for a pea bomb? Oh? Paulie
has been on fire with his pea bombs? And does
he have one?
Speaker 11 (39:09):
You know what is the best about pea bombs?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Real quick?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
If I can say, no one likes being right more
than paul No one hates attention for being more than paul.
Speaker 10 (39:18):
This sets up for disaster.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
It is a disaster. It's time for the pea bomb.
Speaker 15 (39:22):
All right, I'll go quickly. I've picked Army every game
this year. I'm laying off Army this weekend. The line
is catching up with them. Usually they're a monster first
half cover squad. They're getting giving fifteen and a half.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Stay away.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, but that's not a pea bomb exactly. Pea bomb
is when you have the umpset.
Speaker 15 (39:38):

is it's not Vandy over Kentucky. They may cover. I'm
