The mmwgot W your phone calls as well. Eight seven
to seven to three DP show Baseball coming up this weekend.
It's Cubs Brewers, that is Spicy, Yankees, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies, Tis, Mariners.
This is fun and it's been great baseball this week.

(01:05):
But you also had football last night. Surprise surprise, the
Niners beat the Rams in overtime and the biggest play
the Rams going for it fourth and one in overtime,
and it sounded like this fourth down.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
And one for the Rams.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Niners lead by three, a chance to win it with
a stop here in overtime. Stafford gets under center at
the eleven yard line. He takes it, he turns, he
gives the Karen Williams, he gets packed. I think he's short, Town,
I think he's short, and.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
The forty nine Ers start in the field.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
It is all over.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
The forty nine.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Ers have won it in overtime here in LA.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
That's courtesy of KNBR, the Niners radio network. And you
know Sean McVeigh took the blame for this. Now, I
don't know if the fact that we just had a
tie with the Cowboys and the Packers and does that
enter your mind. They weren't playing for a time because
as they could have kicked the field goal, then you
give the Niners another chance. They were playing for the win.

(02:05):
I get it. I don't blame them, and you would
have thought with that offense, with that head coach calling plays,
that this wouldn't have been an issue. But give the
Niners credit because that's a banged up team that is
a Wounded Animal, and you were an eight and a
half point underdog. Surprise, surprise. Some of the other big
matchups coming up this weekend. A you know, you have

(02:28):
a lot of college football with some interesting matchups. Not
great matchups, but you have some interesting matchups. Vandy and
Alabama to me is very interesting because Vandy beat Alabama
last year. You have Florida State in Miami, which is interesting.
You have Clemson in North Carolina, which is interesting. Vandy

(02:50):
is a ten and a half point underdog against Alabama.
Texas is a four and a half point favored against
Florida Miami four and a half versus Florida State. Then
I start to look at the NFL. You have the
Vikings against the Browns. Dylan Gabriel is going to start
for the Browns. According to DraftKings over under passing total
for Dylan Gabriel NFL debut, Paulie, I'll.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Start with you ighty nine yards Marvin.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
One seventy five and a half, Seaton one fifty five.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Odd one seventy three and a half, one seventy seven
and a half, one seventy seven and a half. Yeah, yeah,
you know it's an early start. I'll tune into that.
I think it'll be interesting. Let's see the Cowboys against
the Jets. Cowboys are favored by two and a half.

(03:44):
Buccaneers are getting three in Seattle, which I think is
going to be interesting, Commanders getting two and a half
against the Chargers. I look at the Patriots getting eight
and a half against the Bills, and I think the
Patriots are a good team, potentially a good team.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I mean, Drake May, can you keep them maybe in
it touchdown or less. The Titans against the Cardinal godd no, no, I.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Know, I gotta watch it. You do, Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You're damn Patrick, I know, but I promise you I
will end up watching this game.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
I know.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Titans are getting seven and a half against the Cardinals.
The Broncos getting three and a half against the Eagles.
That one's tasty as well.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
It's not a great slate.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
It's not one of those Oh my gosh, this showdown
Lions against the Bengal Dolphins Panthers. That's another one I
might have to watch.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
Yeah, Pauline, I love the spiciness of Seahawks hosting the Buccaneers.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I think that's because the.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
Seahawks getting four giving four and a half. No one's
buying into the Seahawks yet they needed they need a
national TV win, and they had won.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
But like Seattle is giving three and a half, not
four and a half. But according to DraftKings, all right,
let's see eight seven to seven three DP show email
address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show Most
must Win Game of the weekend. After everything I went
through there, Marvin, I'll start with you. By the way,
if you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.

We say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country.
Eight seven seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by
Marvin the MMW got W.

Speaker 8 (05:38):
Calyn de Bourne, Alabama. Okay, I think you can lose
the Vanderbilt once in a generation. You cannot lose it
in two years in a row.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
This is not your dad's Vanderbilt. Diego Pavia the next
Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Tell add to the Obama fans roll tide.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
Okay, Paul, I'm going to go Texas at Florida. Lord
has been competitive. There should be an easy win for Texas.
People will jump off that bandwagon fast.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
They news Todd the most must Win Game of the weekend.

Speaker 9 (06:08):
The Baltimore Ravens at one and three must get their
act together this week at home against the one in
three Texans.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
They cannot pull to one and four Texans.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
They are two and a half point favorites. Wow, Seaton
most must win game of the weekend.

Speaker 10 (06:23):
The one two and one Dallas Cowboys must win this
weekend at the New York Jets.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Okay, that is a.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Must win game.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I'm going to say Clemson at North Carolina because Clemson's favored,
big favorites against North Carolina. They're not getting rid of
Belichick the first year, but with Dabo Sweeney and it
hasn't been pretty. Not that anything's going to happen, but
you know that press conference will be really entertaining when

(06:51):
it's all said and done.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
All Right, the baseball was great.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
I love the three game series winner go home, and
the Tigers, Cubs, Yankees all did exactly that they won
and that sets up a great weekend in college football.
A couple of phone calls in here Dennis and Syracuse. Hi, Dennis,
thanks for holding what's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I Dan, I just wanted to tell you about my
two favorite interviews that you've done. The first was Jerry
West and the second was Hank Aaron And I'm old
enough that I grew up when they were in their
prime and really admired him, and then you interviewed him,
and since they passed, I feel like I got to
know him personally through your interview. And that's one of
the things you do. You bring out stuff about these

(07:35):
stars that nobody like me knows about, and they brings
him down to a human level. Now, the other two
current people I really like are Ross Tucker and Dean Alaski.
So those are two different generations, but you manage somehow
in your interviews to bring them all together and I
appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Well, thank you, Dennis.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, I took great pride in being able to talk
to Hank Aaron and Jerry West because growing up I'm
watching them as a sportsman, and then you go full
circle now I'm interviewing those two greats, and Hank is
one of my favorite people. I just thought he was
a gentleman and everything that he went through. And Jerry,

(08:15):
you know, such a tormented life growing up with an
alcoholic father, and the fact that when he told me
that he had a shotgun under his bed and he
told his dad, do not put.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Your hands on mom. And I went he was going
to kill his dad.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean, I'm not quite sure that it's coming in
the interview. But then we don't do a pre interview.
It's you're asking questions. It's live, and you hope that
you get something. But my goal, and not to get
too deep on this, but to have you relax so
it feels like a conversation that we're not on radio

(08:54):
or TV. It's just a conversation. And if you get
to that, then you can get some things out of
these people. Not everybody will allow you to do that.
Some don't even know that they're allowing you to do that.
But that's the challenge, that's the fun part of all
of this. Let's see John in New Jersey. Hi, John,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 11 (09:16):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Dan, how's it going good?

Speaker 11 (09:19):
Hey?

Speaker 12 (09:19):
Two quick things. I got Charlie Sheen's story when I
got out of the Navy. But first and foremost, I'm
driving from Miami to New Jersey and I've been cussing
out a whole bunch of fritzes in the left hand lane,
So I'm like to say, sucker fritzy, fair enough, pass
All twenty twelve, I got out of the Navy and

(09:39):
I found myself in the presence of Charlie Sheen very briefly.
And after the interaction, I was riding my motorcycle from
La back down to San Diego, and I just remember
for about two hours not being able to feel my
helmet on my head. So it was a great interview,
and I I love seeing Charlie happy and looking like

(10:03):
he's doing well.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
So all right, well, thank you John.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, he didn't remember the interview fourteen years ago, and
that's when all of this happened. That's when, you know,
all of these networks were calling my house. They were
trying to they couldn't get Charlie, although they were asking
for Charlie's number, and you know, I was saying to
my family, don't answer the phone. They were calling my

(10:28):
house number. I said, do not answer the phone. And
they wanted they wanted Charlie's number, and then they wanted
to know if I would be interviewed and I said, no,
I don't know him. I just had him on. Well
he revealed a lot to you. I don't know him,
but you had a lot of you know, the networks
were calling. Everybody wanted, you know something from Charlie Sheen.

(10:52):
Robert in Texas, Hi, Robert, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 13 (10:56):
ADP A first time longtime? Five ten one sixty eight.
I just wanted to have a quick comment on the
Charvishen interview and also had a request and reference to
the Gampling podcast if I can.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
All right, the.

Speaker 13 (11:10):
First one is just based off the last called I'm
just trying to piggyback. I'm just a big fan and
I think it's just crazy in a good way to
hear Charvishen just sound the way that he sounds on
the eighties. Baby, So Charvis Sheen movies were stuff that
I grew up on, you know, Lucas, Red Dawn, Platoon
and even an old school pool for you. The Race
was a sneaky good movie.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
All right, Well, thank you Robert. Yeah, we forget that.
Charlie Sheen was a great actor. I don't know if
he still is, but he had an unbelievable run there.
I mean Latune in Wall Street, you go back to back.
I mean those are hammers. David in Ohio, Hi, David,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 14 (11:51):
Oh? They am happy to meet Saday. Nobody's speaking of
great interviews you mentioned on the DP Takes a Gamble
podcast and you were gonna quote doctor Bill all Day
and his roommates relatedships since they've been going through therapy
and whatnot. So I think that'd be another great interview
for the show, So thank you, all right.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Shanan Irving and his wife or Shae has his own podcast.
It's called Shaye and Irving and he's going to have
his wife on and Dylan Dylan, who's part of the
gambling podcast, is going to be the moderator because I
don't want a part of it because they it can
detonate quickly. They're on good terms, they're in love, but

(12:33):
it can detonate quickly with Shae.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yes, yes, Marv.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
Dylan, who's going to be the moderator. You got to
be talking about a different Dylan.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
No, no, Shay said, Dylan's going to moderate and ask
the question because Shae thinks all play favorites with his wife,
which is true because I really like his wife.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Do you think Dylan will make the marriage better? Yes?

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yes, I would make it worse, guaranteed. I would make
it worse.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I would ask leading questions, I would play favorites and
then Shaye would get upset Grant in Phoenix.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Hi, Grant, what's on your mind?

Speaker 15 (13:09):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. Five to eleven
and a half hard one.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Hard. Thank you.

Speaker 15 (13:17):
That's hard. So I was hoping that you could settle
something for me. The Peter King interview yesterday reminded.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Me of it.

Speaker 15 (13:26):
I was recently having a spirited debate with my father
and we were talking about quarterbacks who changed the game,
and I said three that came to my mind were Peyton,
Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson. And my dad looks at
me and he goes, Nope. The only quarterback who ever
truly changed the game was Joe Namath. So I decided

(13:47):
I needed to call you because my dad looks up
to you in like, basically every way. I need to
know which one of us is more right, because if
I'm more right, you have to buy me a two
dollars and ninety nine cents donut.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Thank you, Thank you, Grant.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
When you realize that Joe Namath helped change the entire
league with one game, with a guarantee the importance to
the game, you're hard pressed to not single out Joe Namath. Now,
Johnny Unitas to me, changed the position. He gave us
the two minute drill. Quarterbacks were more game managers, and

(14:27):
I think Johnny Unitas was more of a passer.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
I had the great connection to Raymond Berry.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Now he did have a lot of talent around him,
but Joe guaranteed the AFL. You have to remember they
were the step brother. They were not. They were inferior,
and Joe guaranteed this. And they were eighteen point underdogs
and beat the big bad Colts. And I think because
of that. Now, do I think Joe is one of

(14:55):
the great quarterbacks of all time? I don't, But do
I have to acknowledge the importance of changing he brought
about the merger. Peyton, to me changed the game probably
more than any other quarterback. Marino was the first to
give you five wide don't need a running back throw

(15:17):
for five thousand yards. He was the first. But if
I'm looking at who changed the game the most from
the position, and not just one year, it was Peyton
Manning because and I'll ask Kurt Warner, but Peyton changed
how your call the game, you see a game. He
was an offensive coordinator. He understood the position I think

(15:40):
better than anybody, and probably had the least amount of
athleticism or he's on the short list of least amount
of athleticism at that position.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Let's see, We'll come back. Kurt Warner will join us.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'll ask him that question, also asking the most must
win game of the weekend. Thank you join us right
after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
First game of the weekend in the NFL, the Vikings
and the Browns from London, Dylan Gabriel makes his NFL debut.
You can see that on NFL Network. They start at
nine to thirty am Eastern from London exclusively on NFL
netw Work and if OL network analyst Kurt Warner joining
is so on the program. Would you have started Dylan
Gabriel overseas against Minnesota for his debut?

Speaker 17 (17:13):
I'm not sure that would have been the route that
I went. I understand why, understand where they're at. I
understand it's the NFL, so there's not any easy game,
so to speak. But but yeah, that's a lot of
things going on along with playing against the Brian Flores
defense that's going to throw a lot of books at
you that. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be

(17:34):
an easy one for for Dylan Gabriel. But Minnesota obviously
didn't play great last week either, so maybe you look
at this as an opportunity to get a win and
get on track.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
What advice would you give Dylan Gabriel.

Speaker 17 (17:46):
I think the biggest thing is just realize that you
don't have to do it all on your own. I
think when the spotlight is on you and you get
put into that position, the first thing to do is
to say, okay, I got I got approve to everybody
why I'm starting now, and I got to go out
and make all of these plays. And you know, when
I took over in ninety nine, I looked around and said, Okay,
I got a lot of playmakers around me. I don't

(18:07):
have to do this all by myself. Allowed them to
help you along the way. It's okay to punt every
once in a while because you've got a great defense
that can help you out, and so not feeling like
that spotlight is on you and you have to prove
to everybody why you're the starter right now.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
How do you teach a young quarterback to get rid
of the ball?

Speaker 17 (18:27):
I think getting rid of the ball is understanding what
you're seeing. You know, a comfort level with the plays
that you're running. To me, it's always about if you
know where your eyes should be to start the process.
That's the first step in being able to get the
ball out, knowing what you're doing and getting through your progressions.
And you know, sometimes with young guys, and again against

(18:48):
the Brian Flores defense, they're.

Speaker 11 (18:50):
Gonna give you lots of things to look at.

Speaker 17 (18:51):
They're gonna get guys up at the line of scrimmage.
A're gonna have guys running out into his own comfage,
so they're gonna make that harder.

Speaker 11 (18:57):
But understanding your playbooks so that hey.

Speaker 17 (19:01):
And this kind of look, this is where my eyes
need to start, and that speeds up the process. So
that would be what I was would always be focusing
on with the young quarterback.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
What was your thought when the Rams were going to
go on fourth down in overtime and go for the
win as supposed to go for the time.

Speaker 11 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean, I.

Speaker 17 (19:19):
Don't mind the decision at all. You're at home, you
want to get one against a division rival.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
Was surprised, I.

Speaker 17 (19:25):
Think, like a lot of people with the play call,
you know. I just you know, talked earlier in the
week about how the Rams are so good, especially getting
close to the red zone with their naked bootleg you know,
play action game at your Staffords so good at it,
they're creative with it. That that's where I thought they
would go to give more options to Matthew Stafford instead
of just running it right up the gut. So I
more disappointed, I think, with the play call than I

(19:48):
was the decision to go for it on fourth down,
because I fully understand why you want to win that game.
Especially with San Francisco being as beat up as they were.
You didn't want to come out of that thing saying,
oh man, we you know, we love or even we
tied that team. Unfortunately it worked out that way. But
I think they're probably reallying a little bit today because
everybody going in they're like, oh my gosh, it's going

(20:09):
to be walking the park for the Rams, and you know,
Mac Jones played great and the team showed up and
had a great win.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Give me the most must win game of the weekend
for you.

Speaker 11 (20:19):
For me, it's gonna be Texan Ravens.

Speaker 17 (20:22):
Both teams I think I hopes for both teams, you know,
expected to win their division, both sitting at one in
three right now, and neither one playing very good football.
I know Texan has got to win last week, but
you know that was against you know, a Tennessee team
that hasn't won yet.

Speaker 11 (20:37):
So C J.

Speaker 17 (20:39):
Stroud doesn't look the same to me. That their offense
doesn't look good to me. And then on the other side,
I think we know all the issues and then the
possibility of not having their star quarterback and Lamar Jackson,
I think that is a must win for both of
these teams with you know where that division is going
right now.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
But explain to me what's going on with CJ stround.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
Which I could. You know, when he was a rookie,
I had him in my top.

Speaker 17 (21:03):
Five quarterbacks in the league. The way that he played
his rookie year, and it was his ability to see
things and his accuracy and the technique that was with it.
In the last two years, I don't know. I really
can't tell you what's going on. I don't feel like
he's seeing it very well. I feel like he's missing things.
I feel like when they bring pressure, he doesn't have answers.

(21:25):
And it's weird to me because very seldom, obviously do
you see that when a young guy seems to have
those answers and do those things and then it falls
away from them. And it's really been the last year
and a half where I don't believe he's playing, you know,
as well as he did. And a lot of people
going to the offensive line and some of the issues
up there, but I think it starts with CJ. And

(21:46):
you know, just watching him, he's not making the throws
and making the decisions that he did as a rookie,
and I can't tell you, I can't put a finger
on it because he was so good as a rookie.

Speaker 11 (21:55):
It's hard for me to fact.

Speaker 17 (21:57):
What's gone wrong or what's gone sideway on this to
take him to where he is right now.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Talking to Kurt Warner, the Hall of Famer and Super
Bowl MVP, two time NFL MVP. NFL Network will have
the vikings in the Browns. That'll be nine thirty Eastern
from London. We had a conversation. We've had a couple
of conversations this week. One is focused on Russell Wilson.
Can you play yourself out of the Hall of Fame? Now?

(22:23):
I don't know if you had him in the Hall
of Fame, but he's playing himself maybe out of consideration
for the Hall of Fame. Do you believe that, given
that he had a ten year run that was pretty impressive.
These last couple of years have been pretty pretty rough.

Speaker 11 (22:39):
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I would say
play your way out of it? You know.

Speaker 17 (22:43):
I think what I would say in these last few
years with Russell is maybe it gives you a different
perspective of the kind of player that he was, Is
that you know, when he was in Seattle. Obviously they
had a great defense when they went to the on
their run, and he was asked to be more complimentary.
Pie's more of a playmaking piece than actually, you know,

(23:04):
playing more drop that quarterback, carrying the team with his
right arm. And so when he left, I think the idea,
I think it was Russell's idea as well as wherever
he chose, is that he wanted to show people that
he could play the position more conventionally and more like
I think, you know, guys like Brady and Manning and
those things, and he didn't have to just be a playmaker.

(23:27):
And then that hasn't worked out. And you know, he
tried in numerous spots now and it hasn't worked out
to show people that, And so I think, if anything,
it maybe gets people to look back and go, okay,
you know, who is the real Russell Wilson here? And
again I don't know if that plays anybody out of
the Hall of Fame because you mentioned it. The first
decade statistically was really really impressive. But I think it

(23:50):
may have people step back and go, okay, you know
who is you know the guy that we're looking at,
and you know, the Hall.

Speaker 11 (23:57):
Of fame type of thing.

Speaker 17 (23:59):
Was he an elite player at that position comparative to
other players? And you know, you know as well as
I do that there's a lot of different ways to
look at it. I mean, you look at my situation
is I didn't play as many games and certain things,
but when I played, I played at a high level,
so I was able to get in.

Speaker 11 (24:15):
Some other guys may.

Speaker 17 (24:16):
Not have played it quite a highest level, but played
longer and have better stats and those things, and they
get into the Hall of Fame. And so there's so
many ways to weigh I think what the Hall of
Fame is. But that's what I would say, not necessarily
play his way out of it, but have people look
at him a little bit differently and kind of compare
the two quarterbacks to decide, Okay, who was Russell Wilson

(24:39):
and does he fit in that category.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
But if you don't go to Arizona, are you getting
into the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 11 (24:45):
I mean I would highly doubt it. You know, even
though you know there was an elite.

Speaker 17 (24:50):
Level of play and two Super Bowls and two MVPs
in Saint Louis, I think ultimately it would have been
just not enough time to be able to have you
another three years and go to another Super Bowl with
another team, I think, is what kind of kind of
stamped that you know, And you know, again, it could
have easily said, hey, this guy at his peak, you know,
was a Hall of Fame quarterback, but that peak.

Speaker 11 (25:13):
Wasn't long enough.

Speaker 17 (25:14):
And so yeah, again, I think we've seen a lot
of different ways for guys to you know, solidify themselves
as Hall of famers.

Speaker 11 (25:22):
And you know, that becomes the ultimate question, you.

Speaker 17 (25:25):
Know, at the end of the day. I mean, you
have Eli Manning, that's you know, that's right there on
the cusp. And I think they're weighing heavily super Bowls, right,
super Bowls and you know, winning super Bowls.

Speaker 11 (25:34):
Well, Russell has been to two Super Bowls. I know
he only won one of those.

Speaker 17 (25:38):
But you know, so what exactly is the determining factor
in getting to the Hall of Fame. I don't know
if anybody knows exactly. And and as you said, and
we mentioned that first ten years, you know, I think
you know you asked me if I didn't go to
you know, Arizona would have been in the Hall of Fame.
Probably not if Russell Wilson didn't go anywhere else beside

(26:00):
at Seattle.

Speaker 11 (26:00):
Would he be in the Hall of Fame? And the
answer is probably yes.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I remember I spoke to you, maybe it was the
season that you went to the super Bowl in Arizona,
and we talked about what you know, Am I a
Hall of Famer? And I said, no, but if you
take Arizona to the super Bowl, you'd be a Hall
of Famer. Do you remember we had that conversation after
the game, and I was there to hand out the trophy,
but I sought you out. I wanted to find you

(26:29):
after the game, and I remember the only thing I
said to you when I walked I walked up to you,
I think you were with your wife, and I said,
you're going to the Hall of Fame. That was the
only thing I think I said to you, because obviously
you're distraught because you know, you think you're winning the
super Bowl, and I just remember, you're going to the
super Bowl, And it stayed in my head that whole

(26:52):
time after I talked to you, and you got to
the super Bowl, could have won the Super Bowl and
you went.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
To the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
One other thing I want to bring up We just
had a call saying what quarterback have had the biggest
impact or changed the game the most in NFL history
in your opinion? Yeah, who would you single?

Speaker 11 (27:10):
That's a that's a good question.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (27:12):
And I don't know about one quarterback, you know, because
I think about Dan Marino and how you know, he
played the game so differently at that time.

Speaker 11 (27:20):
I think they were a past first team. I think
about our offense in Saint Louis.

Speaker 17 (27:23):
I think we, you know, changed the way the game
was played and what we see now I think really
started with with our team. And then I heard you
talking a little bit about Peyton Manning, And the one
thing I would say about Peyton Manning is there's no
doubt Peyton Manning was the best quarterback we've ever seen
before the snap at playing the game before the snap,

(27:44):
changing plays, knowing what a defense was going to do.
But I wouldn't say that necessarily transformed the game because
I don't know if there's been anybody anywhere close to
Peyton at doing that. And so when I think about
changing the game, it's about, Okay, how did I, you know,
lead the next generation into playing a similar way? You know,
And maybe you look at a guy like Michael Vick

(28:07):
because of where the NFL's gone now in terms of
the athletic quarterback and using guys, you know, in two
different ways, and so not sure how I would answer that,
but I do think, you know, Peyton was unique and
different and the best we've ever seen it at playing
before the snap, where a lot of guys like myself
were way better playing after the snap than before.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I also mentioned Joe Namath because he won this singular
most important game in NFL history. He brought about a merger.
It's hard to argue with anybody else there were better quarterbacks,
but he guaranteed it. He did it all eyes on
that and one of the biggest upsets we've ever seen.
And so I would probably say Joe was the most

(28:51):
impactful quarterback of all time because of that one moment.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (28:54):
Well, and I think he also was the first quarterback
to throw for four thousand yards or something in the league.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Too, So were doing games probably.

Speaker 17 (29:01):
Yeah, I was doing things that that people weren't doing
at that time. You know, I didn't grow up seeing
a lot of Joe Naman, So yeah, I think of
you know, more of my time. But but yeah, I
mean yeah, with everything that he did and the guaranteed
victory and throwing the ball the way he did, I
could surely make that argument.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
God, he threw a pretty good ball, like effortless, effortless,
I bet the best passer of best quarterback at throwing
the balls?

Speaker 11 (29:27):
Who at throwing the ball? And what do you what
do you mean by that?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Like which one is? You know, you see certain pitchers
and they you know, they make every.

Speaker 6 (29:39):
Pit you know.

Speaker 17 (29:40):
But yeah, if if I was picking a guy, I
would probably pick Dan Marino just watching him throw and
you know, the release that he had and you know,
the arm strength, but.

Speaker 11 (29:50):
Also the touch on the football.

Speaker 17 (29:52):
You know, he was the guy that you know that
I grew up kind of going, man, if you can
throw the ball like that, I mean that would be
you know. Yeah, tried to emulate him in my front
yard because I thought he was special of a thrower
of a football that maybe that I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
What did What did you say to him when you
met him?

Speaker 17 (30:11):
Well, I mean, you know I was in all like
like a lot of people, but I probably said that
exact thing. Was like, man, I grew up you know,
trying to be you and you know, wanting to be
what you were on a football field, you know. And
I obviously shared the story of at my Hall of
Fame speech that when I was stocking shelves at the
grocery store, I was in the serial aisle and one

(30:33):
of the nights I was stocking the wheaties box and
Dan Reno was on the wheaties box, and so he
gave me a lot of inspiration when I was chasing
my dream and then a stocking shelves going hey, one day,
one day, I'm gonna be like Dan Marino and I'm
gonna be on a wheaties box, you know. So you know,
it just fun to have those guys that you know,
you want to emulate, you want to chase after, and

(30:55):
then you meet a guy like Dan who's such a
great individual too, that lived up to the hype not
only with what he did on the field, but also
who he was off the field.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Have fun this weekend. Good to catch up with you again.
Thank you, Kurt, you too, my man, Kurt Warner. Hall
of Famer Vikings Browns on NFL Network this weekend. They
will start at nine thirty am Eastern on NFL Network
in London.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
David in Knoxville.

Speaker 11 (31:19):
Hi, David, Hey Dan, good morning, how are you good?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Good good.

Speaker 18 (31:25):
Let me dispersed by telling you it's such a treaty
it is to be able to speak with you and
just to kind of follow most of your callers this
morning with you. Listen to your interviews just next my day,
and so many of them. I can remember so many
things that you said they said. But my question is

(31:46):
to you, now, was there a particular celebrity or sports
figure that you were interviewing and you said, Hey, wait
a minute, I'm the day I am d Dan Patrick.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
No, what do you mean by that?

Speaker 6 (32:03):
David?

Speaker 19 (32:05):
That you're probably the best interviewer out there, and that
it's a lot of interviewers saying that the people that
they're interviewing are doing them a favor. But in your instance,
when you interview somebody, you sent them at ease. The
answer that give you are such firstal answers that you

(32:29):
know you have it perfected an art in what you do.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, but I don't if I said hey, I'm or
think I'm the Dan Patrick, that takes away from my
strategy and philosophy of interviewing you, and that is it's
not about my question. It's about your answer. I always
want your answer to be important because if somebody says, oh,
you ask great questions, I always say, how are the answers?
That's how you know you're asking a good question. But no,

(32:58):
you have to make it about the person. A lot
of people make it about themselves with their question, as
opposed to what am I trying to get out of you?
And I think you got to be selfless in an
interviewing process, and not many people are because they want
it to be about them and the question. There's nothing
wrong with why or how or who or when or where?

(33:18):
Those are great questions. All right, if you're watching on Peacock,
we're going outside to the grills. We have Kings Hawaiian
in and Chef Greg is finishing up our meat. Friday,

Speaker 10 (38:57):
See final results of the poll question. See, yeah, we
got three of them up there right now. One of

of the audience would rather be a Hall of Fame
quarterback than a Hall of Fame pitcher right now. The
most infamous interview and show history is Charlie Sheen, followed
by Matt Harvey. And we could maybe save some of
this for Oh, we don't have to, We.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Paul.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
Do you think that's the real answer?

Speaker 11 (39:44):
Though?

Speaker 4 (39:44):
In the moment?

Speaker 7 (39:45):
How do you not root for your team to ultimately
win the game?

Speaker 4 (39:48):
I think you actually have that backwards? How do you
not root for your kid win?

Speaker 10 (39:52):
Well's a crap about the team.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
I think I'm talking about a hardcore fan of a
certain team. I wonder, in theory of course, you're root
for your kid when you're watching last night, I wonder
if you could be happy that your team lost.

Speaker 4 (40:05):

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
